[Hijikata can't help but smile a little at that. It sure seems like each magic comes with its own pain points.]

If those animals already agreed to participate, then they shouldn't have any further reservations. But better make sure if that's actually the case, otherwise you won't have time to recruit some wild ones later. I guess I should get ready for my melee, too... if they don't hack me up too badly there I'll come watch you compete later on.
