"Engagement ring?" "Yes." "A ring of engagement that a man gives to a woman when he asks her hand in marriage." "It goes on the ring finger of her left hand." "it apparently works especially well!" "I see..." "Truly..." "I would like to get something like that from the man I love once in my life!" "Me too..." "Kenshin?" "Calling me out here and all..." "Miss Kaoru." "Kenshin... that I do." "Kenshin..." "Let's get married." "Yes... no..." "You can't..." "Kaoru!" "Kaoru!" "hold on!" "Kenshin..." "She's saying something." "Kenshin... not that..." "It looks like her head is up in the clouds." "She really must be worried about it..." "I don't think that's quite it..." "It doesn't look like her relationship with Dear Ken is going anywhere... but..." "I know!" "It's time for me to lend a helping hand here for Kaoru's happiness!" "For Kaoru's happiness?" "is the key day!" "I will not rest until I further their relationship!" "It would be nice if it worked..." "Kenshin..." "You can't..." "Kenshin!" "390)\cHEBEAEB}Happy Kaoru!" "Kenshin's Proposal!" "Dear Ken!" "Miss Tae... a word... huh?" "Miss Kaoru." "Good morning..." "What's this so early in the morning?" "that I am." "then..." "Kenshin..." "Aren't you forgetting something important?" "I forgot..." "Really?" "That could have been bad... that I did!" "today is..." "Today is... that it is." "that I will." "I know that Kenshin giving me an engagement ring is just a dream." "But..." "He could at least ask me to go see the stars with him tonight or something... and get eaten for all I care!" "you're leaving your chest open!" "try me one more time!" "All the fair maidens blush at flowers and all I do is practice swordsmanship as usual..." "You're off guard!" "Ouch!" "Kaoru?" "I was spaced out..." "You should ice it right now!" "It would be a huge mess if you got a bruised bone or something!" "Why are you making a big deal out of it?" "hold on." "I see..." "He's being really considerate today." "that I have not..." "Perhaps I won't get anything." "The cold feels nice." "I went and got it directly from the well." "too!" "W-Wait a minute." "You're behavior is starting to freak me out." "Don't say that." "Kaoru." "I really appreciate it." "R-Really?" "Missie." "Sanosuke." "I got some sponge cake from Tsunan." "so I brought some." "for me?" "Why don't we all eat it together?" "I'm fine." "you should eat it." "then!" "delicious!" "I see..." "That's great!" "I'll go bring you some tea!" "Yahiko and Sanosuke have been so... but actually... they do say that boys make fun of girls that they like..." "But I have Kenshin... too." "But he's a little young..." "W-What should I do?" "It's a crime to be so beautiful!" "Kaoru?" "I've never been this pampered before!" "Kaoru..." "Yahiko." "I am the older one..." "But we'll be friends forever." "Friends?" "but... right?" "That's the vase that I liked the most!" "Missie!" "while you're being generous can you lend me some money?" "The tab I have at the Akabeko is piling up..." "Today is a very important day for maidens!" "A very important day?" "What's that?" "Dunno... what about being friends?" "They're being so self-centered..." "I have Kenshin!" "Miss Kaoru... that I was!" "that's nice." "Miss Kaoru." "complete with its head." "A special day?" "Kenshin?" "I did." "Why?" "and I..." "Kenshin." "Kaoru." "How joyous to have a fish with its head on!" "I'll go ahead and salt-roast this catfish!" "Miss Kaoru?" "It's rather tasty... that she does not... or my plan..." "Are you here to collect my debt?" "but I have something more important to do right now!" "Kenshin?" "Something hard..." "Can it be?" "I wouldn't ask for a sea bream with its head on or anything luxurious." "But on an especially romantic day... a catfish?" "a catfish?" "Dear Ken." "Today is a special day for Kaoru and you need to give her a special something as a gift on a special day." "Right now..." "Dear Ken." "Everything will work out if you give that to her." "I don't know about giving away something you found..." "Mr. Sano!" "All right?" "you have to put that ring on Kaoru's finger!" "A-All right..." "Who is it?" "May I open the door?" "S-Sure..." "Kenshin?" "Sorry to keep you waiting..." "I have this..." "Miss Kaoru." "Can it be?" "Can it really be?" "Not a dream..." "It's not a dream..." "This is the engagement ring!" "pretending he didn't know anything when he already had such a beautiful ring ready for me..." "Kenshin." "Miss Kaoru..." "What is that ugly girl doing?" "Kenshin!" "how irritating!" "Kenshin." "in front of Yahiko and the others..." "I-it landed properly on the ring finger..." "All right!" "All right?" "Kenshin!" "I'm going to be Kaoru Himura soon... we're still going to be living here after we get married." "So that means he's going to marry into my family." "He'll be Kenshin Kamiya?" "too." "But wait!" "If the Kasshin Style and Hiten Mitsurugi Style are going to be here together..." "Which style will our child take over?" "It just has to be the Kasshin Style..." "But what should I do if it's a girl?" "If she's the daughter of Kenshin and myself... so maybe an actress or something..." "Miss Kaoru?" "that I am." "that it is... it's okay." "you don't have to do anything." "Excuse me?" "I'm thinking about going to cooking school starting tomorrow." "I'll strike while the iron is hot!" "clean!" "Kaoru cooking?" "Is it a sign of the apocalypse?" "I guess I'll catch something to eat for dinner..." "Shiori..." "I'll pay with my life!" "what are you doing?" "Don't stop me!" "do it elsewhere." "I can't get a restful night's sleep after someone dies in front of my eyes!" "I was a fool..." "Shiori..." "Were you dumped by some woman you were in love with?" "I threw away a precious ring that I was going to give her." "A ring?" "There's more to this..." "Can you tell me what happened?" "Yes." "and we would have had a future together... a few days ago..." "Shiori." "Shinji..." "Impossible..." "Shiori had another man she was in love with?" "I don't need this!" "But he turned out to be a childhood friend she hadn't seen for ten years." "If you realized your mistake then it doesn't matter if you have the ring or not." "It happens to be a very personal thing!" "That was an engagement ring that I worked really hard to buy so we could get engaged today." "too." "you looked for it?" "Of course." "around where I threw the ring away." "But I don't have a clue as to where it could be." "I can't get engaged..." "I feel so bad about it..." "I have to kill myself to make up for it!" "I need you to tell me one thing." "Does that ring have some blue stone in it?" "Y-Yes... her birthstone." "Do you know something about it?" "you know..." "Hey!" "all right?" "I'll chase you into the afterlife and kick your ass!" "Got that?" "S-Sure..." "We've got a problem!" "Kenshin!" "the ring that this guy threw away is the one that came from the catfish?" "No doubt about it." "We need to explain the situation to Miss Kaoru... that we do." "the situation isn't that simple." "Sanosuke?" "I think we'll have her explain the details to us." "Miss Tae?" "I didn't know that a ring could have such meaning..." "Kenshin asked for Kaoru's hand in marriage..." "That's right." "it's no surprise that Kenshin didn't know western mannerisms... of all days..." "That's bad timing..." "I was under the impression that it was Miss Kaoru's birthday..." "Forgive me." "I set this up because I wanted to see Kaoru happy." "Kaoru's birthday is in June..." "And that's why Kaoru was up in the clouds... she is a woman after all..." "The problem is how to get the ring back without hurting her feelings." "we have to do it today." "Kenshin?" "I guess we'll have to something about this." "leave it to me!" "it's wonderful!" "Kaoru!" "Can you give me some more training?" "Yahiko?" "You're very enthusiastic today..." "There's nothing wrong with that!" "That's true..." "I won't be able to look after Yahiko much soon so I guess I should train him now." "come on!" "can we try jujutsu?" "but this..." "He can do it." "Got it!" "Yahiko..." "You want jujutsu?" "Kamiya Kasshin Style Jujutsu..." "Konohagaeshi!" "There you have it." "There is such a thing?" "The key to the Kasshin style is to protect people's lives." "Jujutsu was incorporated into the style so we can fight even without swords." "You never told me that!" "But now you've requested it so I'll give you super hard training today!" "One more time!" "H-H-H-H-Hold it!" "Next up is Jigokuguruma!" "Tomoe Nidan Nage!" "Kenshin... how is the temperature?" "it's perfect..." "That's good." "that you should." "happens... we can bathe together sometimes and wash each other's backs..." "How embarrassing!" "I'm sure that she takes her ring off." "Yahiko." "B-But..." "Don't be wasting time." "I won't touch a woman's waistcloth!" "just do it!" "a descendant of samurai!" "I can't commit such a lewd act!" "Sanosuke!" "then it's all right for me to do such a thing?" "You're the one who thought of this plan!" "Do it yourself!" "You were the one that told me to leave it all to you!" "What are you doing?" "Perverts!" "Peeping Toms!" "Missie." "I was looking for something..." "Looking for what?" "how about a cold one after your bath?" "Here!" "What is this?" "It's something called beer that we got at the Akabeko..." "Apparently it's customary in western countries to pound it after a bath." "is this alcohol?" "it's all right to drink today." "right?" "Don't worry!" "That's true..." "All right!" "we got it!" "Yahiko." "I know." "That tickles!" "you ugly... slowpoke?" "Sano... when Miss Kaoru gets drunk she rages out of control..." "I'm telling you that tickles!" "I-I give up." "It's too much for us..." "Kenshin for catching a catfish that ate an engagement ring!" "What about a catfish that ate yam cake?" "Kenshin?" "I can't take it anymore!" "Miss Kaoru." "Actually..." "Miss Kaoru... that it does." "just be calm and give the ring back." "we'll be partially responsible for it." "Miss Kaoru!" "Yahiko..." "All right." "Yeah." "It's stuck!" "What's going on!" "Turn it around!" "it's not coming off." "go bring some pliers!" "let's have her drink some vinegar because they say it makes your body more flexible." "Vinegar?" "Here!" "Now?" "Still not enough!" "it won't even budge." "when it fit on?" "Miss Kaoru trains in swordsmanship so her fingers must be tougher than a normal woman's... excuse me for having tough fingers!" "Miss Kaoru?" "you idiot!" "we did it!" "He who makes no mistakes makes nothing"." "Thank you so much." "I was able to become engaged." "Hikojiro." "Good luck!" "May you never throw out that ring again!" "that it is." "but as for us... only food!" "I'll just go on a binge!" "and eat up some more!" "It looks like our Missie will be having a fit for a while..." "There are times when men have to stand firm." "Today is just the day for that!" "Miss Tae..." "Miss Kaoru?" "What?" "Here..." "Happy birthday..." "Two months late..." "Being told happy birthday this late isn't what I want to hear!" "that's not it!" "It's all right..." "Don't rush them." "But..." "Thanks..." "They won't start anything just because we make a fuss." "Leave 'em alone." "where did Yahiko disappear off to?" "It's still not good enough!" "A woman is in full bloom only for a short while!" "ciao." "ciao." "250)}A thunderclap like a lion's growl... 250)}It's urging me to retreat... 250)}What's going to happen?" "250)}Yes... 250)}Soon it will rain." "ciao." "ciao" "250)}The moment when ectasy turns into farewells... it's obvious... 250)}It's gonna rain!" "250)}Is the rain now going to destroy my alibi?" "250)}Is he going to forget now?" "250)}Is this really the end for the two of us?" "250)}I'll just blame everything on the rain."
