"It's not the first time we've gotten one... 445)\cH0D161D}It's Misao!" "Yoo Hoo!" "Today's letter looks a little different from last time." "She says that a strange incident has happened in Kyoto..." "A strange incident?" "That corpse we saw floating down the river everybody recognized who it was a high-ranking government official." "But why would a rich man from a good household end up like that?" "And that's not all..." "Strangely enough there were letters and pictures... as if a spell was cast on him." "too... and why?" "Everything remains a mystery..." "Everyone in Kyoto is talking about it." "Please!" "I'm begging you!" "I'll pay!" "I'll pay whatever you want!" "lend us your skills as the previous leader of the Oniwaban Group!" "I heard from a secret source that you are the strongest man in Kyoto!" "use your sword to protect me!" "Sheesh!" "How many times do I have to tell you?" "Lord Aoshi has no intentions of fighting right now!" "Even if it's the lord of hell asking him!" "I got a warning letter." "It said that I should already know about the corpse that turned up at the river." "...and that I'm the next one to go to hell..." "Look here!" "Who in the world would send such a thing... the police can't do me any good!" "Aoshi!" "No matter what the reason I have no intentions of picking up my sword." "I would like you to go home." "what do you think this is?" "I would think it's in Southern European..." "Southern European?" "The letters that were engraved on that corpse are these letters as well." "I'm not sure about this but I think it's the language used in Portugal or the Netherlands." "the assassin is a Southern European?" "I'm not sure..." "Investigate!" "I have a feeling that this is the beginning of some catastrophic incident." "Is Misao here?" "I found out something." "Okina!" "what's wrong?" "You're worried..." "Misao isn't here?" "You found out something..." "What is it?" "the time of revenge has come." "a river." "a full moon." "the Son of God will appear." "Christians used this engraving in the beginning of the Edo era..." "And for quite a while afterwards... and never seen by human eyes." "Misao..." "Come out if you dare!" "I'll see to what kind of person you are." "I'll go myself and..." "Here!" "That's..." "P-Protect me!" "Shirojo!" "I would like to meet with Mr. Himura..." "S-Sure." "To Kyoto?" "to come as soon as possible." "so please get yourself ready..."

"Misao was shot through the heart by the light." "the light from his blade struck Misao." "It was a light that I've never seen the likes of before." "Shin no ippou..." "Shin no ippou?" "or an attack that is similar to it." "Assaulting an opponent with one's swordsman's spirit... completely paralyzing them..." "I'm not so sure..." "However..." "However?" "The only one who died in the mansion that night was Kasai... and the one who was sent the warning." "Every other person in the house was left unconscious... just like Misao." "I would suppose that they were hit by something like the flat of a sword at super-human speed." "it's as if..." "That is the reason I took the effort to call for you." "without a doubt was the Hiten Mitsurugi Style?" "Yes." "W-What?" "The Hiten Mitsurugi Style?" "That's impossible!" "his sword-drawing skill..." "There is no doubt that it was beyond god-like speed." "Shut up!" "I don't want to hear this gossip anymore!" "someone with your skill..." "Or perhaps..." "Perhaps?" "Perhaps what?" "He surpasses Kenshin..." "There isn't any guy who can surpass Kenshin!" "He's not a god or anything!" "It is true..." "It's impossible for anyone short of a god..." "A god..." "S-Such a thing couldn't possibly be walking this Earth!" "The only one I believe in is Kenshin." "So you've come after all..." "This is the last thing I need." "and never any souvenirs." "Souvenirs?" "you would bring a shou of sake or something." "but not any more thoughtful." "Although you may expect that much of me..." "I no longer expect anything from you." "that I would!" "I had a hunch that you would be coming here." "The killings that have been going on lately..." "The mysterious engraving and the user of the Hiten Mitsurugi Style people mistake for a god..." "No doubt about it." "Finally..." "The time has come." "you think..." "The one behind this is Shougo Amakusa." "Shougo Amakusa..." "A Christian swordsman who is said to be the second coming of Shirou Amakusa." "When in the world is he coming?" "When daylight dies and turns to darkness..." "When daylight dies..." "What does that mean?" "Who cares about the Son of God?" "Who cares about the prophecy?" "It's all just idle gossip!" "I am the one who is the strongest!" "The story dates back several decades to my predecessor." "it's from the days of the twelfth Seijuro Hiko." "There was one apprentice who was supposed to carry the name of Seijuro Hiko the thirteenth." "His name was Hyouei Nishida." "Hyouei could not overcome the last challenge to inherit the name of the Hiten Mitsurugi Style." "The apprentice uses Amakakeru Ryu no Hirameki to defeat the Kuzu Ryu Sen." "there is only death." "that is the way of the Hiten Mitsurugi Style." "However... and fell into the waterfall to his death... several decades later rumors that Hyouei had lived were heard throughout a certain continent." "He had survived." "But..." "True..." "Hyouei should already be a very old man by now..." "But this story doesn't end here." "It has become known that Toubei Nishida is a Christian." "a Christian in secret..." "That's right..." "The city he reached on that continent had freedom of religion." "To someone who had escaped from Japan I'm sure that place was like heaven." "he has returned to Japan." "Bringing along a man who is thought to be a god." "Burning for revenge he'll use him to lead the oppressed Japanese Christians to happiness." "That man went beyond god-like speed at age fourteen and he defeated Toubei's Kuzu Ryu Sen." "An attack that can defeat Kuzu Ryu Sen..." "In other words..." "Toubei is not qualified to pass on the name of the Hiten Mitsurugi Style." "if Toubei's Kuzu Ryu Sen really was defeated..." "I'm sure you could call that  Amakakeru Ryu no Hirameki." "The forest is too quiet... the animals?" "The legendary sword that Shirou Amakusa used to create many miracles during the chaos in Shimabara during the 14th year of Kanei..." "Toubei gave that to him." "I don't know what he is trying to do right now." "I don't know if he's human or really the Son of God." "The man's name is Shougo Amakusa." "The time of revenge has come." "the Son of God will appear." "What's this?" "What's with the weather?" "This is..." "Daylight is dying..." "I-Impossible!"
