The pursuers from the Oniwaban Group haven't made an appearance for over a week, and during this time Megumi familiarized herself with the Kamiya Dojo group. Sanosuke, however, was still unsettled and feeling frustrated knowing that Megumi was the one who made the opium that caused his friend's death. Then one day, Megumi suddenly disappears. In a letter they found from her, it stated that she had left of her own volition, but Kenshin and the others found this to be unnatural. They decide to head to Kanryu Takeda's residence, the man who was sending spies after her.
If Hitokiri Battosai was a man
who weighed the pros and cons,
إن كان الهيتوكيري باتّوساي رجلاً
،ينظر لفضائل الأمور ومساوئها
Wenn Hitokiri Battōsai ein Mann wäre,
der sich von Gewinn und Verlust leiten ließe, …
Si Hitokiri Battosai fuera un hombre
que actuara por beneficio propio,
Si Hitokiri Battosai
solo actuara por intereses propios,
S’il agissait par intérêt,
il serait aujourd’hui
अगर हितोकिरि बत्तोसाइ
नफा-नुकसान देखने वालों में से होता,
Se Hitokiri Battosai fosse un uomo
che agisce solo per profitto,
Если б Баттосай Убийца
действовал лишь из собственной выгоды,
