    Hang in There, Kogasa-san 3663

    While they were warm, if they could reach this temperature in the November sun, just how hot could they get in the summer...? I figured it was no wonder they were cracking after undergoing that kind of expansion and contraction for 10 years.

    I wore tabi boots for the first time in decades. It was the first time since I had a part-time job spray-painting back in my student days!

    Why would he climb the roof barefoot in the first place?
    Heat from the Sun is just an insult to injury which is possible cuts on shingles' edges!

    He didn't necessarily do so literally in real life; he may simply have been using footwear that didn't adequately block the heat.

    I'll bet he used tennis shoes or similar, even if they're completely impractical, because he skimped out on the equipment like usual.

    The only time we've seen him invest properly is into karaoke/audio equipment or other hobbies, like his laser cutter.
