It's been a week since the resolution of the crossroad killing case, in which the name of the Kamiya Kasshin-ryu was deceptively used. Although the name of Kamiya Dojo has been cleared, there's no sign of an increase in the number of Kaoru's students. Then a passing boy, Yahiko Myojin, pickpockets Kenshin's wallet. Kenshin gives him the wallet, saying that it was his fault for allowing it to get stolen. Yahiko is repulsed at being treated like a child, but he has a reason to collect the money.
I haven't sunk so low
as to be pitied by others!
!لم أبلغ الحضيض بعد حتّى يشفق عليّ الآخرون
Ich bin nicht so weit gesunken,
dass ich dein Mitleid bräuchte!
No he caído tan bajo
como para que me compadezcan.
A mí nadie me trata con condescendencia.
n’accepte la pitié de personne !
मैं इतना गिरा हुआ नहीं हूँ
कि बाकी लोग मुझ पर तरस खाएँ!
Non sono ridotto così male
 da avere la compassione degli altri!
Não estou decaído a ponto de
ser digno de pena dos outros!
И мне чужая жалость
и даром не нужна!
