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.
If times hadn't changed,
،لم يتغيّر الزّمن
Wenn sich die Welt nicht geändert hätte,
hätte er einen prächtigen Samurai abgegeben.
Si el mundo hubiera sido el de antes,
se habría convertido en un gran samurái.
Si los tiempos no hubieran cambiado,
habría llegado a ser un gran samurái.
Dans le monde d’avant,
अगर समय बदल नहीं गया होता
Se il mondo fosse come quello di un tempo,
Se não fossem outros tempos,
В былые времена…
