The current Kenshin has left his past as a manslayer and wished for a peaceful world. Though Elder looked at him with eyes of confusion, Kenshin knew that Elder also shared this same desire for a healthy society and felt a sense of comradery with him. Meanwhile, another doctor called Deian Ishizu was scheming to get rid of Elder, as Elder did not seek monetary gain in exchange for her medical services, and Deian thought this was disrupting his business. Deian hires Espiral, a master of Western swordsmanship, to get rid of Elder. However, it seems Espiral has an entirely different motive for taking on the job...
it's not bad to live with smaller hopes,
،ليس من السّيئ أن نعيش بآمال صغيرة
Anstatt über das große Zeitalter
des Schwertes zu verzweifeln,
no debo perder la esperanza por algo
tan grande como nuestra era actual
no he de perder la esperanza
por algo que me supera como esta era,
Au lieu de me lamenter
sur l’époque dans son ensemble,
Disperarsi per qualcosa di così grande
come un'era intera non ha senso,
Não devo me desesperar com
algo tão grande como uma era,
Мне не следовало сокрушаться
 по поводу эпохи.
