[Hijikata has dealt with particularly persistent crime rings, both back home and on the worlds he's gotten isekai'd to so far, hence his low confidence in getting them to stop with just a little brute force... the local syndicates or clans, or whatever they call themselves, seem very well-established here, too, given that the entire lower mall levels are their own thriving criminal ecosystem. They certainly won't abandon this treasure ship easily.]

I'd have a few ideas, but I'll get back to you on those once I've spoken to my boss. My suggestion for now is that we speedrun this. Let's focus on checking the place over for any more fucked-up backroom business, and then we clear out.

[A hit-and-run usually isn't his style either, but given the number of goons they'd have to punch out if they didn't cherry-pick a little, and the priority that ought to be given to rescuing any victims, this is the best he's got right now.]
