[Despite how badly hurt both of them are, bludgeoned and bleeding, Hijikata's stubbornness still ignites at Rider's recitation of the contract spell.]

I don't want this Holy Grail stuff in our pact!!

[He may not understand all the intricate details, but he knows that a Holy Grail War is, in essence, a knock-out competition, a tournament of elimination until there's only one Master-Servant pair left standing. That kind of thing isn't happening here on Ellipsa, and even if it were, that's not what they're contracting for!]

I announce that we're forging this pact for our mutual protection! We'll have each other's back! I'll be your Master if you'll be my Servant!

[Spoken like a true country bumpkin samurai, Hijikata. Will this even work?!]
