[Hijikata does fall back along with Mukuro, expecting her to turn the ground into a swamp - so he's all the more surprised to instead see countless "spears" shoot up. It's hard for him to tell if they're made from hardened soil or from actual rock, and it's unclear to him whether they've managed to pierce the ghoulpies' hard skin, but in any case the monsters are suspended, lifted up and stuck between the unexpected stalagmites, struggling to try and get a foothold.]
Well done!!
[It wouldn't occur to him to say something negative in this situation. They're fighting together, relying on each other to succeed (and survive!); why would be want to put his sworn sister down? For all he can tell, she's applying her magic strategically and skillfully.
He follows suit, immolating both ghoulpies with as much strength as he can muster. Once more, ghoulish screams fill the air as the flames turn all the wetness in their fur into steam before biting into their bodies. He keeps going relentlessly until the creatures fall silent, needing to briefly catch his breath afterwards.]
...
I hope there won't be more of them, or if there are, that we managed to scare them off for good. At this rate I'll run out of mana otherwise.
[Being able to immolate three strong monsters in a row speaks of how much he increased his reserves already, but he can feel the drain. While he has enough firepower left in him for another round, they might end up having to resort to more dangerous methods after that!]
