"we'll be on our way... visit the Shirobeko." "It's where my family lives..." "I already sent them a letter." "Miss Tae." "right?" "So it's related to the Akabeko..." "But it sure is lonely." "To see everyone off..." "I won't see you for a while... but we'll be back." "I promise." "too..." "Yahiko!" "Yeah!" "Sister Kaoru!" "Yahiko!" "Hey!" "Suzume!" "Miss Megumi!" "Doctor Gensai!" "We just finished treating an emergency patient!" "We just made it in the nick of time!" "Come back safe!" "Miss Megumi!" "I..." "I..." "You finally understood how thankful you should be?" "silly girl!" "you and Yahiko are representing all of us!" "Take all of our feelings to Kenshin as well!" "We're trusting you!" "Yes!" "Stay cheerful!" "{\cHBFBFBF}Stay cheerful!" "{\cHFFFFFF} Stay cheerful!" "Cheerful!" "cheerful!" "Yahiko to where Kenshin is!" "Yeah!" "I'll become stronger..." "So much stronger that Kenshin will regret not taking me!" "I am not your weakness!" "I'll prove it to you!" "In Kyoto!" "Kenshin!" "I didn't think I would walk this path ever again... a sword!" "Stay quiet." "it looks like a swordsman." "Maybe he doesn't know that swords are forbidden... just dangerous." "Let sleeping dogs lie." "in this day and age?" "It's better to stay away." "Have you said your farewells to that Kamiya girl?" "that was harsh... we'll be fighting together against Shishio's group." "Let's be a little bit friendlier." "Fighting together?" "Yes." "The assassination of Lord Okubo has left the police forces confused as well..." "I'm in charge of leading the squad in Kyoto..." "What is that unhappy expression of yours?" "Nothing..." "Just come with me." "we'll make the first boat to Osaka tomorrow." "We have things to discuss as well..." "I will walk along the Tokaido." "are you broke?" "The government will pay for the ship..." "It's not that!" "Shishio's group could show up at any time." "It's possible that they will attack on board the ship." "with nowhere to escape..." "It might involve people who don't know anything about the situation." "It seems you still think like a peace-drunk wanderer." "do you want me to wake you up once more?" "I'll answer your challenge at any time." "I intend to involve no one else in this situation!" "That is why I have decided to come alone!" "do what you like..." "That's the idea." "don't forget..." "Shishio's information network is perfect..." "I'm sure they have already seen through all of your actions..." "The battle against Shishio has already started!" "people will be frighted and won't approach..." "I won't have to involve anyone else..." "Makoto Shishio another survivor of the Revolution is calling me back to Kyoto..." "What battles await down this road?" "Hey!" "Young man over there!" "You have some nerve to break the sword prohibition right in front of me!" "wait I say!" "I say!" "Wait!" "Oh well..." "So I am left behind in the end..." "And I'm taking care of the place while they're gone..." "What am I doing?" "It's open?" "so why..." "Can it be?" "Can it be that Dear Ken..." "Dear Ken!" "Aoshi..." "Shinomori..." "Where did the Battousai disappear to?" "aren't you?" "Answer me..." "I wouldn't tell you!" "If you won't tell me..." "I'll kill you." "The Battousai went to Kyoto..." "You're..." "Goro Fujita." "I'm just a normal police officer." "Hajime Saito!" "master of the Gatotsu." "you're only a pet dog of the government..." "Oh?" "the old Oniwaban group can still get information." "because I heard a survivor from the Revolution appeared here in Tokyo." "since you've been cooped up on that mountain." "Makoto Shishio... and then he won't come back..." "And so..." "How about it?" "too?" "There is no need for that." "I am the only one who can kill the Battousai..." "What confidence... either." "you delinquent cop!" "thinking only about killing Dear Ken!" "Hey now... you would have been killed." "He's the man who became Commander of the Oniwaban at age fifteen." "if we could..." "Those sentiments are mine exactly." "Aoshi Shinomori..." "He indeed is someone we might make good use of." "Hey!" "Wait!" "Wait!" "I say!" "that he is... that he is... that he is... that he is... that I can not!" "This isn't it..." "This is just destroying the countryside." "It's not good training at all..." "Which way is Kyoto?" "Just wait..." "I will defeat the Battousai and adorn your graves with the flower of the title "strongest"..." "I vow... those wenches... lemme see 'em." "No way!" "Here he is!" "we got tired of waiting for you." "You must be Aoshi Shinomori." "What are you..." "We are servants to the great Lord Shishio..." "The Four Nyudos of Abukuma!" "Rejoice!" "and amazingly enough he wants to meet you in person!" "Even we get to see Lord Shishio only about once a year at most..." "It's a great honor." "come with us." "Lord Shishio is waiting for you." "Go back and tell him... he should come himself... it will not only be you even this Shishio person will die in retribution!" "kid!" "let alone Lord Shishio!" "That deserves ten thousand deaths!" "Those who insult Lord Shishio will not be allowed to live!" "A long sword!" "Did he switch weapons because he lost to the Battousai?" "No matter what he holds..." "One sword cannot defend against our attack..." "Yonmi Ittaigi!" "In one sheath twin kodachi." "This is..." "Impossible!" "This can't be..." "Ridiculous..." "It was so simple..." "Amazing." "You didn't let the Four Abukuma Nyudos... the quick Yonmi Ittaigi..." "A twin kodachi style..." "Are you another one who works for Shishio?" "I am!" "and I serve at Mr. Shishio's side." "To be expected from someone called a genius..." "How about it?" "Just come with me and listen to what we have to say..." "Get lost." "I have no intention of pairing up with anyone." "Especially with someone so heartless he uses his own men as disposable pawns to test the strength of someone." "so you knew?" "and you slew them without hesitation that makes you plenty merciless as well." "well." "your Oniwaban group wasn't able to fight during the Meiji Revolution as it unfolded." "that remains in your heart as a frustrating disappointment." "and now..." "If you were to face two great upheavals and weren't able to fight either time wouldn't it bring shame to the name of the of the Oniwaban group?" "please come to Kyoto." "Commander..." "Commander..." "Commander... we don't regret anything at all." "The fact that we lived as part of the Oniwaban group..." "That's right!" "Lord Aoshi..." "Lord Aoshi... and now..." "If you were to face two great upheavals and weren't able to fight either time wouldn't it bring shame to the name of the of the Oniwaban group?" "Kyoto..." "If I want to adorn your graves..." "I suppose..." "How is he?" "I like him..." "Especially how he cuts through humans as if they were garbage." "But it seems like he won't stumble into our hands just yet." "we will have a use for him...." "I'll think of some way to use him." "what should I do next?" "it would be nice to say hello to the manslayer who is my predecessor..." "Predecessor?" "That man called the Battousai?" "Mr. Shishio?" "Aren't you enjoying this?" "I'm going to toy with the entire era!" "Dammit!" "I thought I was walking the central mountain path!" "why am I in the mountains again?" "that means... so it should be... here I come!" "I wonder if Dear Ken is all right..." "Just Shishio's group would be a problem..." "Now he's got Aoshi Shinomori on top of it..." "What?" "I'm worried!" "what are you doing?" "what are you doing?" "what are you doing?" "Look!" "I wanna see her face!" "She looked over here and smiled!" "stay at Odaya!" "Odaya!" "you swordsman right there!" "We're cheap!" "How about it?" "I'm in a hurry..." "You're in a hurry?" "the sun will set while you're in the mountains of Hakone..." "I might cause even more trouble if I stayed at an inn... you're broke!" "where are you spending the night?" "no good!" "He's broke!" "No money?" "that they do... that I have not... that they are..." "I can't help it if they hate me now..." "They're not with Shishio..." "Thieves or bandits?" "I would like to avoid human contact as much as possible..." "This wench..." "What are you being shy about now?" "You're the one that offered!" "I am embarrassed... you know!" "this sexy voice!" "She led us all the way out here!" "right?" "but do you have money?" "We do." "We just stole some from Odawara." "I see... that's good..." "All right!" "The play ends here!" "hand over all the money that you got!" "W-What the hell?" "She's still a kid!" "dammit!" "a kid should just go home and go to bed!" "hold on a minute!" "Damn you!" "you knuckleheads?" "Damn you!" "you know!" "kid!" "since we just made a getaway!" "We don't mind a little killing!" "Prepare yourself!" "Just some guy's brute force can't stop me!" "I guess that's about it!" "Mimicking a sexy voice and leading them on catches 'em every time!" "It's so easy!" "This I'm surprised about... but it wasn't exactly what I thought!" "A female bandit!" "W-Who are you?" "traveling in the area." "What?" "Do you have something against women being bandits?" "I didn't mean that..." "You shouldn't be a bandit to begin with." "I see." "You're trying to talk back to me?" "You're amusing." "too... you look so poor." "Could it be that you're broke?" "anyone and everyone... it's all right." "No man has ever been able to escape from me!" "too!"
