"You guys are so phony." "Act more sincere or I'll... forget it." "Otherwise we'll never get finished." "We have reports that one of the two was Katsura of the Anti-Alien Rebel Faction." "He's about the only guy who could pull off a stunt like this." "The Harusame were smuggling large quantities of illegal drugs into Edo and selling them." "I understand how they couldn't forgive the pirates." "starts here." "Rumor has it that a Shogunate officer was involved in the drug ring. he received a taste of the profits. but the anti-Amanto ronin scattered throughout Edo have picked up on these rumors and are planning assassinations."

"What if the Anti-Alien Rebel Faction stormed this place while you were goofing off?" "!" "Stop treating your work with such contempt." "When did I ever treat work with contempt?" "Hijikata!" "Fine!" "We'll fight right now-draw your sword!" "Why're you playing around on duty?" "!" "What do you think this is?" "!" "Some kind of school excursion?" "!" "little girls?" "!" "You're the loudest of them all!" "I'm nervous enough without all this racket!" "We're sorry." "you filthy apes are totally incompetent." "What's with that guy?" "We're the ones putting our lives on the line to guard him!" "You were asleep." "but why do we have to protect that toad?" "we're lucky the Shogunate picked us up." "We wouldn't be here if it weren't for the Shogunate." "It is a samurai's cherished ambition to repay a debt with loyalty!" "The swords of the Shinsengumi exist to protect the Shogunate!" "But they might be in cahoots with the pirates." "Hijikata?" "I'm always enthusiastic." "Look at them." "They've all lost interest." "Check out Yamazaki - he's playing freakin' badminton!" "Yamazaki!" "you nimrod?" "!" "stop thinking so much about it. you gotta give him a hand." "That's the way a man should live his life." "Just a minute!" "Please don't go out on your own!" "Wait!"

"I'll have to start over again." "Vice-chief!" "and you still want to protect him?" "!" "The bastard thinks humans are nothing but trash." "who took the bullet for him." "but I took a look around the villa." "A mess of drugs turned up in the warehouse... he's guilty." "To be protecting a guy like that..." "What on earth has the Shogunate come to?" "Hmph..." "A bit late for that." "The Shogunate doesn't even serve humanity now." "We knew that a long time ago." "So why do you lend your sword?" "Is it to protect the Shogunate?" "Is it to protect the Shogun?" "Not me..." "Do you remember how it used to be?" "Remember those days when we were like thugs." "Uneducated rogues who knew nothing but how to swing a sword?" "Who was it that welcomed us into a special dojo?" "Who was it that refused to forsake us even after the order to outlaw swords was issued?" "After we lost our dojo and were stripped of our swords?"

"What's is this?" "!" "It's so sour!" "Even more sour than my manny's underarms!" "You get hooked on the flavor." "You'll be addicted to your manny's underarms soon too!" "I will not!" "That's gross!" "So people beyond the castle walls eat this sort of thing." "This is all new to me." "miss?" "miss." "You're correct." "I came from over there." "that's a huge mansion." "that the most important samurai in the land used to live there. it's become nothing more than window dressing." "Now it's just where the most pathetic samurai live." "that's right." "No one in this country honors that castle anymore." "It's an artificial castle that exists only for show." "A mirage." "I wish it would just collapse." "Then I would be free... is something troubling you?" "I'll listen to your pathetic tales of woe." "Jack-of-all-trades Kagura-that's me!" "You have so many different names." "Hmm...something that's troubling me..." "Right." "Will you be my friend for one day today?" "it's hot." "Why do our uniforms have to be so thick and heavy?" "Everyone's wearing lightweight clothes but us!" "we have to go hunt someone down in this heat!" "Give me a freakin' break!" "Hijikata... it's dangerous." "You're the one who's dangerous!" "What's the big idea?" "!" "What's with you?" "I was about to make your uniform sleeveless." "Don't give me that!" "You were trying to cut off my arms!" "I'm marketing the summer uniforms I proposed." "Hijikata?" "You'll look like a rocker." "Only a moron would wear something like that!" "how's the search going?" "but finding her is another story." "What was the princess thinking running away from home like that?" "fancy people have a different set of worries." "Though I can't imagine what troubles a princess might have." "she's still a young woman of a delicate age. or he had bad body odor." "It could be all sorts of things." "is it?" "It's impossible to cover every street in Edo using regular methods." "Why don't we just throw a party and invite the princess?" "Only you would fall for a trap that sounds straight out of a Japanese folktale!" "Chief!" "Yamazaki?" "We have a sighting!" "The princess was spotted heading toward Kabukicho." "Kabukicho?" "Of all the annoying places... place your bets!" "Even or odd?" "!" "Odd!" "too!" "Even!" "I'll take even." "Odd!" "Even!" "The bets are down!" "Snake-eyes." "Even!" "Lost again!" "This ain't good." "I can't go home now!" "yet you know so much." "I suppose I do." "All that's left is to go have a drink and stay out till morning." "That's what the kids do." "I heard from Gin." "Your Highness is so lucky." "You're so free. so I don't have friends and I don't know anything about the outside world." "All I can do free to play." "Live freely." "I had to run away from the castle." "I decided that it would be for only one day." "it would cause grief for so many people." "You're exactly right." "So let's go back." "What are you doing?" "!" "wait!" "Get them!" "Out of our way!"

"!" "I don't like taking roundabout methods." "Wait!" "What if you hit the princess?" "!" "I won't make that mistake." "It's always been my dream to one day be known as the "Sniper." "Hey!" "You're saying you just aspire to be a good shot?" "A man can realize his strength better when he's chasing his dream than after he's caught it." "No!" "Hey!" "Come on out!" "but she's very important to this country." "too." "Are you listening to me?" "!" "you've done enough." "I'll go home." "Why?" "Don't you wanna be free?" "I'll free you." "I want to be free... but I don't wish to cause Your Highness any more trouble." "You're no trouble." "We made a promise: to be friends all day today." "I don't need a reason to help a friend." "That's the spirit of Edo." "I've still for a lot of fun things to teach you!" "we're friends. that's exactly why I don't want to cause you trouble." "Your Highness."

"The princess was seen observed at a recent poetry gathering chewing on a stick of seaweed..." "Wow." "A princess who likes pickled seaweed..." "Silly!" "It's got to be a scam." "They just do that kind of thing to pretend to be like us common folk." "They probably feast on fois gras all day at the castle." "I bet they even put sushi on top of their sushi!" "there's your real pickled seaweed girl." "See how her sleeping face just reeks of poverty." "Now that's the real thing."

"Why're you destroying the entire kitchen!" "finely diced." "you're hopeless." "This is how you cut vegetables." "Watch." "Just like that." "Come on!" "You can't cut an onion with a wooden sword!" "It takes spirit." "Spirit!" "or anything." "Sensei." "You've been tossing in the ingredients at random." "Could you at least tell us the amounts?" "it doesn't matter." "Don't worry about it." "Whatever you feel like." "so you can't just say anything." "Ballpark amounts are the fundamentals of men's cooking." "If you just do what you feel like..."
