Suzu: You've been such a good worker. I'll give you a nice present.
Cat: Nyaaaa
Suzu: Oh...
Suzu: Well? I still haven't heard any worthwhile information from you.
Suzu ...Don't think I'm keeping you around because I like you.
Saitou: ......
Saitou: You're a very strange man.
SFX: *giggle*

144
Suzu: But I pity you.
Suzu: You never have any fun, do you?
Suzu: Come here...
Suzu: Don't you know that getting there is half the fun?
Saitou: I want to get to know you...
Saitou: You are a strange man.
Saitou: Who could you possibly hate so much that you would go to these extremes...?

145
Suzu: Hatred?
SFX: *giggle*
Suzu: Is that what you think...?
Suzu: It's nothing so simple as that.
SFX: *splash*
Suzu: This is love...
SFX: *wind*
SFX: *huff*
SFX: *huff*
SFX: *huff*

146
Umanosuke: I'm sorry!!
Umanosuke: I'm so late!!
SFX: *huff*
Man: What were you doing, Umanosuke!?
Umanosuke: But what about the Captain!?
Umanosuke: Shouldn't he be here!?
Other Guy: That was the plan, but he hasn't showed yet.
Shiramine: DOn't worry, I'm sure he's fine...
Shiramine: Unless he ran into an assassin alogn the way...
Beard Guy: No way! The Captain wouldn't let something like that happen!!
SFX: *hahaha*
Shiramine: You can't just be so nonchalant.
Shiramine: Everyone in Japan has heard of Sakamoto Ryouma by now.
Shiramine: I've heard he's so famous that he can't even go near his hometown.
Umanosuke: Shiramine-san, there's something I want to talk to you about... have you always been such a pessimist?
Umanosuke handwritten: [Just a sec...]
Shiramine: Yes.
Beard Guy handwritten: UWAAAAHHHH!! CAPTAIN!!
Beard Guy: If what you say is true, what will happen to all of us in the Kaientai!?

147
Kenkichi: The Shogunate knows that we intend to reinstate imperial rule...
Ponytail Guy: So what? What do we do now?
Ponytail Guy: If Sakamoto-sensei doesn't come back, what happens to us?
Kenkichi: Then we'll stick to the restorations plans that he and Nagaoka came up with.
Kenkichi: Isn't the Shogunate in need of a real leader?
Surly-looking Dude: Doesn't that all sound too easy?
Ponytail Guy: Ah, I've had enough of this...
SFX: *dramatic step*
Ryouma: Sakamoto-sensei has returned.

148
SFX: *dramatic noise*
Men: Captain!!
Men: Captain, you're alright...!!
Men: Captain!
SFX: *cheering*
Men: We've been waiting for you, Captain!
Men: Captain!
Men: Captain Sakamoto!!
SFX: *footsteps*

149
SFX: *footsteps*
Ryouma: .........
Nagaoka: ......
Nagaoka: ...Ryouma.

SFX: *gulp*
SFX: *grip*

150
SFX: *grin*

Ryouma: Come on, let's do it!!
Ryouma: Let's put the emperor back on the throne where he belongs!!
Men: You're the best, Captain!!
Men: Banzai!!
Men: That's our Captain!!
Men: Banzai!!
Men: Banzai!!
Text Box: Ryouma's talking about imperial restoration - the Tokugawa Shogunate had ruled Japan since Ieyasu's time, over 250 years, so imperial restoration means giving military power back to the Emperor and the Imperial Court.

152
Nagaoka: I know you can do it!!
SFX: *uwaaaaa*
Men: Banzai!!
SFX: *waaaaah*
Ryouma: Oh come on, it's not just me.
Men: Banzai!!
Nagaoka: No matter what, I know you can do it!!
Nagaoka: Even Tokugawa is only one man...
Nagaoka: Bring me sake!! We're going to have a party!!
SFX: *Yeah!!*
Ryouma: No, Shinta!
Ryouma: We've got to be very, very quiet...
SFX: *ahahahaha*
Men: Captain...
Men: Captain...
Ryouma: What is it, you guys? I've only been away for a little while.
Ryouma: Cheer up! I wanna see happy faces!
SFX: *hahaha*
Guy with hair in his eyes: Okay, Sensei!
Kenkichi: But you've gotten so cool!!
Kenkichi: I didn't even recognise you at first!!

153
Ryouma: AH! My trusty old "uniform"...
Ryouma: Don't you know my fashion sense has to change with the times?!
Men: Well who wouldn't instantly recognise that weird look...
Ryouma: ...Kenkichi!
Ryouma: I oughta reward you for all the trouble you've gone through!
Ryouma: I sure have missed having smart guys like you at Katsu-san around.
Kenkichi: But sir!
Kenkichi: I just wanted to help, that's all...
Kenkichi: The greatest reward for me is seeing you safe and sound! I was so worried...
Pretty Guy: ...This is too much.
Pretty Guy: After all you've put us through, now I've got to listen to you ramble on.
Umanosuke handwritten: Captain!!
Pretty Guy: ...You certainly took your time coming back from Kyoto.
Ryouma: Well, you know, things happened and I got delayed...
SFX: *sigh*

154
Ryouma: And I did end up having to go all by myself...
Ryouma: Because somebody got a bellyache AGAIN and couldn't come...
Pretty Guy handwritten: You can do it, Captain!
SFX: *groan*
Pretty Guy handwritten: Please, go on without me, Captain...
Pretty GUy: ......
SFX: *HAHAHAHA*
Ryouma: So I had to find myself a new bodygard...
Ryouma: Hey Sarah!
SFX: *murmering*
Ryouma: Guys, I wanna introduce you to Sarah!
Ryouma: She was a ninja scouting around Kyoto, and now she's working for me.
Ryouma: She's pretty but she's tough as nails - that's my kind of woman!
Men: A GIRL!?
SFX: *crowd noise*
Men: What a cute bodyguard!
Men: Wow, a woman!
Sarah: This is too much...!
Men handwritten: A girl! *heart* A girl! *heart*
Sarah: Why did it have to be a bunch of men...
SFX: *hahahaha*
Ryouma: Sarah is so shy!
SFX: *glug glug*

155
Ryouma: Okay, guys, this sake isn't for celebrating.
Ryouma: The battle is nearing, so this is a drink to send us off.
Ryouma: Satsuma and Choushuu may have rallied together behind the Emperor, but we're going up against 400,000 of Tokugawa's forces.
Ryouma: Weakness is Japan's greatest enemy.
Ryouma: We won't make it through the revolution unscathed.
Umanosuke: "*Reboryuushun*?" What's that?
Pretty Guy: It means "*kakumei*"
Ryouma: Just think of these dark, difficult times...
Ryouma: And then imagine a shining dawn of a new Japan...
Ryouma: Even if we're down to the last man, you've got to believe...!
Ryouma: Because...
Ryouma: Someday, somehow... the future of Japan is coming!!

156
Ryouma: And it won't matter anymore if you're a samurai or a common farmer - social class won't mean anything in the free world!!
Ryouma: It's time for us, the Kaientai, to set sail for the new world - the new Japan!!
Ryouma: Japan is an tiny island, and we've been too confined in our thinking!
Ryouma: America... England... Holland... we're headed for the "free world"
Ryouma: You might say what we're trying to accomplish is "too hard"...
Ryouma: But we of the Kaientai are opening up a new world!!

157
Sarah: [That's what he always thought too...]
Sarah: [But it was never meant to be...]
Umanosuke: [Everyone is so devoted to him...]
Umanosuke: [Wow... she has such pretty blue eyes!]
Men: Captain!!
Men: We're with you!!
Men: Captain!!
SFX: *YEAAAAHHHH!!*
Men: Captain!!
Men: Yes!! Lead us, Captain!!
Men: Lead us to the dawn of a new Japan!!
Men: TO freedom!!
Men: To a greater Japan!!
Ryouma: Yes...!!

158
Ryouma: To a new Japan!!

159
Ryouma: Ah-choo!!
SFX: *shiver*

Nagaoka: Okay, okay.
SFX: *shake*
Ryouma: I don't even have the enegy to get pissed off...
Nagaoka: It's almost your birthday so I'll go easy on you!
Nagaoka: After all, you've been working hard for the past few years without a break.
Nagaoka: When this is all over, why don't we leave everything to Katsu-san and the others and take some time off?
SFX: *shiver*
Ryouma: Yeah...
Nagaoka: Sarah! Could you bring a futon? Ryouma is falling asleep.
SFX: *sulk*
Sarah: What the hell? I'm not your damned maid.
SFX: *knock knock*
Sarah: That must be the shopkeeper bringing you some futons.

160
Nagaoka: Hey, Ryouma! Maybe if you went back to Tosa, your cold would get better?
Ryouma: Maybe so...
Ryouma: But what if the girl who's waiting for me came here instead?
SFX: *sniffle*
Nagaoka: Your girl!? You mean Oryou?
Ryouma: Hey, Shinta, there's something I've been meaning to talk to you about.
Ryouma: There's these two brothers in the Shinsengumi...
Ryouma: The red-headed one is really a spunky kid!
Nagaoka: Shinsen... don't tell me you've been hanging out there AGAIN!?
Sarah: Red hair... energetic...
Sarah: It can't be Ichimura Tetsunosu...
SFX: *step*

Sarah: ...Kita...mura...

167
Suzu: Neither of you have any luck, it seems... once again, the man you love is killed...
Suzu: ...Perhaps...
Suzu: Being loved by you was bad for their health?
SFX: *laugh*
Suzu: Perhaps it's your filthy blood? You're really a troublesome woman. Ahahahaha~~!!
Sarah: ...Damn you...
Sarah: I'll kill you...
SFX: *pull*
SFX: *slam*]
Sarah: Gah!
SFX: *fall*

SFX: *bang*
SFX: *bang*
SFX: *scratch*
Suzu: Amazing...
SFX: *surprise*
Suzu: You're still alive...

169
Suzu: You're a bad man.
Suzu: You were going to take Tetsu away from me.
Suzu: You would have taken him across the sea... I don't like that.
Suzu: He would go somewhere I can't see him anymore.
Suzu: You're a bad, bad man.
Hikagami: ......

170
Suzu: Just dump the woman someplace outside Kyoto.
Suzu: She's in my way.
SFX: *movement*
Suzu: I'm sure Sakamoto Ryouma's followers...

Suzu: And who will they find at the scene of the crime?
Suzu: Tetsu.
