[Kou feels like he should help Hijikata. Like he's being weak by staying up in the tree. But he also knows that he cannot fight for the life of him. His staff only has power against supernaturals and he simply just can't fight anything like a killer deer.
And Hijikata is a samurai, right? He's probably better off without Kou getting in his way. It feels bad to admit that but he can do that much. At the very least, he can keep an eye out to see if anything else is coming because he's not going to look away. If he can't help Hijikata fight then he can do this much!
Especially when a bear comes out and Kou is about to warn his companion, but it sees the deer and seems frightened before it whimpers and scurries off. What the hell is wrong with this place? Especially when another squirrel comes growling and Kou is immediately taking his staff to try to keep it away. When it tries to lunge, Kou bats it away as if it's a ball that came hurtling at him.]

Hijikata-san! This place is messed up!
[Nice eye there, Kou.]
