[Now they're saying he has no aura... he's getting cooked!!! And Levi, who's legitimately just standing there with his resting bitch face, is being held up as the very image of a nonchalant badass instead!! It doesn't help that Hijikata has no ally in Evangeline - despite being Rinku's sworn sister, she clearly doesn't put even 5% of Rinku's stock in him! At her question he snaps:]
Of course not!! He's a pain in the ass even just as a questmate!
[Okay, that was a little unfair, and much as he needs to set the record about his total Alpha boss nature straight, he quickly acknowledges:]
I mean, okay, he's skilled, so it's not like we aren't successful whenever we go, but company-wise, I've had better!
[Why does he keep talking to these people... if anything, he should march over to Levi and expose him for whatever cheesy book he's purchasing to get the fans to hone in on him instead, but attempting to get the upper hand on him has backfired more than once before!]
