Chapter 247: 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.
