[Hijikata is briefly startled to hear Rei behind him so suddenly, but all the better that he got out of the wyrm's way, however he accomplished that. He smirks; it's so great when battles go his team's way and the enemies are reduced to running around like headless chickens!]
Don't sell yourself short now; that was a perfect entry!
[He ruthlessly keeps the wyrm deprived of oxygen, both for its lungs and for its flames, until its movements slack, at which point he dismisses the water bubble and swivels around to help Rei take care of the remaining guards - if they're not already subdued by the shadows or more inclined to give up at this point.
Arresting the wyrm really will be a problem (it has no hands to cuff, for a start... and Hijikata's handcuffs were whisked away), but given the unexpected number of adversaries (plus the spa employees still upstairs) Hijikata is already making other arrangements in his mind. He takes Rei aside to quietly conspire with him (while keeping everyone else in view).]
There's no way we can lug this fat worm out of here, so you've got to either go get the police involved or buy a shrinking potion. I know Polydegmon's Lapidary and Brew sells a 'Mini' potion, but if you have other sources, go for it. I'll keep an eye on these clowns in the meantime.
[Right now he intends to simply stay right here and watch them, but he and Rei haven't even looked for the abduction victims yet! If they do they may just find that they're locked in a separate section of the underground cave system, a grotto filled with even more diamonds than the walls in the area they're currently in - a grotto that'll make a convenient containment space for the guards at least, and maybe for the wyrm too if it wakes up and Hijikata can herd it in at watermagicpoint.]
