Souji is by all accounts already picking up exactly how much Hijikata's disgruntled behavior means, at least to judge from the way he rolls his eyes and lets out another little tittering laugh. "I'm not that young, silly - and you're not that old, either. I know everyone always says I act like a kid, but I think I should be allowed to take responsibility for my own candy-induced tummy aches, right?" Not... even going to deny that this is something that might happen, no.

"But I've always wanted to see what candy stores are like in other countries. A lot of things certainly are... bigger here, aren't they?" He picks up a family-sized bag full of jelly beans and makes a show of barely being able to lift it, before unceremoniously letting it drop. Thankfully, it doesn't break. "But I think I'll try some smaller things. The problem is choosing..." His struggle is real.
