I've seen Souji fight. [ His own Souji, he means. ] Don't tell me he takes after him too... [ Because that is a Problem(TM). Still, Hijikata always allowed Souji at least a handful of trust with his own troop. How bad is Yasusada, he wonders... ]

Hey, at least sound sure about yourself. Or people won't take you seriously. [ He heard that hesitation... He heard it! Although, he's mostly joking... He's bad at joking though so don't take it the wrong way. Anyway, Horikawa is Hijikata's sword? He surely must be as good as him! Soon, he'll maybe give Horikawa a little assessment later just to see for himself. ]

Hm... Yeah, that sounds good. You don't have to hesitate to send me things, alright? [ Does Horikawa mean send it through the CereVice or a physical copy though!? Although, Hijikata's been taking his time to poke around the CereVice more than usual after texting Souji... It's not that bad as he thought! Yet, there are still some #struggles. ]

We should probably thank Mikazuki later then. [ Nod. ] As for me... It's practically a desk job so I can't complain. [ He's use to it! Working behind a counter isn't so bad but it's pretty repetitive. Minus being asked for help every so now and then. At least, all his jobs are good distractions and he earns his #keep for his apartment. ]
