Sanosuke Harada: "Hm? Hijikata-san, you're still here, huh? That's some dedication, but you shouldn't neglect your health."
Toshizou Hijikata: "All I have left to do is check if all the equipment was returned. I'll take a break afterwards. Anyway, Harada. I could say the same thing to you: why haven't you left yet?"
Sanosuke Harada: "I just forgot something here. I'll head home right after I take care of it. ...Ah, that reminds me. It looks like Yukimura caused you some trouble at the cultural festival today."
Toshizou Hijikata: "...What are you talking about?"
Sanosuke Harada: "She got mixed up with some students from another school and you had to break it up, right?"
Toshizou Hijikata: "That wasn't a big deal. I only acted as any teacher from Hakuo Academy should. Besides, even if I hadn't happened to show up, things probably would have turned out fine. ...Despite appearances, she's made of some strong stuff."
Sanosuke Harada: "Haha, seems like you think pretty highly of her. Yet you're the one who's always saying not to give her any special treatment. Didn't expect to hear you say something like that."
Toshizou Hijikata: "Shut it! Find whatever you forgot and scram!"
Sanosuke Harada: "Yeah, yeah. Well, the cultural festival ended smoothly… Should we go and join everyone at the closing party?"
