[This demon is fun to talk to, Hijikata thinks. (Probably because he's latently bringing out his S side yet keeping him on his toes at the same time, but hell if he acknowledged those things!)

Hah! Bring it on! You're talking to the most-decorated winner of the otherworlder tournament! I won the Seasons Cup, the Ultima Cup, and almost the Blade Cup too!

But if you could turn them over to our side, I guess that'd be an even bigger accomplishment.
