[Hijikata always has his priorities in order! He's the kind of man who'd prioritise rescuing the mayonnaise from the fridge if his headquarters back home burned down. He targets the very same zombie Elza has her aim on, and just as he dashes towards it so does the bullet. It's clear which of the two is faster. Just as Hijikata swings his sword back for momentum the zombie meets the same messy fate as the one from before.]
What-- again?!
[He quickly turns around to at least take care of the remaining one, but that one, too, falls victim to Sturm. Anyone less determined to kick some ass in the name of the king might be quite starry-eyed at the sheer precision, but Hijikata just gets more pissy. Again he tries to make out the sniper - at least now he's pretty sure where the bullets came from, so if Elza is out in the open he may just manage to spot her. But even if he can't, he starts making his way over in her direction. It's doubtful if she can hear him at all across the distance, but he shouts nonetheless.]
Whoever you are, I don't need your help!! Cover someone who can't defend themselves, not me!
