Part 249: A New Step
Amakakeru Ryuu no Hirameki versus Kofuku Watoujutsu
Misao: But, didn't the Kofuku thingy already break the Amakakeru Ryuu no Hirameki?
Aoshi: I wonder... Before, he had only seen the Amakakeru Ryuu no Hirameki once. That was his first time seeing the Kofuku. But now, they both each other's skills.
Saitou: Their footing is more important now. Will he be able to take that crucial first step in the loose sand?
Sanosuke: Just shut up and watch. They've already thrown the dice. When it comes down to skills he's way beyond him.
Yahiko: Whatever happens, all we can do is watch and believe in him.
Kaoru (thinking): Kenshin... Kenshin!
(The two stare each other down, sweat dripping off of them.)
Enishi: Battousai. You said you saw my sister smile. What about now? Is she smiling now?
Kenshin: No... I can't see if she's smiling or not. That one smile was the last... I can't see her anymore. I can't hear her voice. But it doesn't matter. Just once was enough. With that, I can seek the smiles of the one most dear to me now, and my friends, and all those I see before me. I can take a new step, stronger than before.
