It's pretty, isn't it Kanetsugu?
Yes, Kenshin-sama!
Wouldn't it be wonderful if this whole
beautiful warring states world were mine?
Wouldn't it, Kanetsugu?
Of course, if you ruled the world, then it would be even more...
Kanetsugu!
K-Kenshin-sama!
Why?
Is breakfast ready, Kanetsugu?
Hurry!
Okay!
I'll get it ready right away.
That was good.
You couldn't wait for me to take a shower?
Sorry, sorry.
Your food's just so good I couldn't wait.
That doesn't mean you should peek at me during a shower.
Jeez.
Kenshin-sama?
What? That's not what I meant at all!
You've got rice on your face!
Kenshin-sama, are you okay on time?
You said you had to be in the studio all morning.
I need to change!
Make yourself a cute girl.
Wait, no, first makeup, no—
I need to shower first!
Oh no!
Maybe I shouldn't have pushed her away.
Kenshin \ Kanetsugu
Looking good.
Good, good.
Great!
Okay, take a pose.
Got it.
Thank you all.
It feels good to be in my usual outfit.
Kenshin-chan, you leaving?
Oh, miss stilist!
No, it's not stilist it's stylist.
Try to remember.
But your shoot today was great.
Did you get prettier?
Not at all.
Okay, see you.
Bye.
I was a little worried at first,
but she's been getting a lot better as a model lately.
But she certainly has a unique fashion sense.
That's what's great, silly.
And I think yours is a lot more unique.
I hope it doesn't start raining until I get back.
Oh, right.
Jeez...
Rock paper scissors!
Shoot! Shoot! Shoot!
Yay!
Aww!
Now a little love.
Just kidding.
I'm back!
Welcome back, Kenshin-sama!
That was a good bath.
That's great!
Kenshin-sama.
Why are you still dressed like that?
It's not dignified.
I was enjoying a post-bath beer...
The beer is fine,
but put your pajamas on.
But the beer...
Kenshin-sama.
Right.
All the food here is good,
but this curry stuff is especially great.
It feels different today, is there something special in it?
It's beef tendon curry today.
I boiled the beef tendons until they were soft
and then put in a can of tomatoes.
The sourness of the tomatoes works surprisingly well with it.
And the konnyaku gives it texture.
I got the idea when I saw it in a beef-sinew recipe.
And then, miso as a secret ingredient...
...and love.
No, nothing!
More importantly, how does it taste?
It's good.
Curry's good, but the color looks
kind of muddy, doesn't it?
The color?
But there are vegetables to give it color,
so it's not that big a deal, is it?
And now in horse racing news.
This will be the last race for Triple crown winner,
Toukai Yumitori, before his retirement.
Kenshin-sama, that's it!
W-What?
Did you see those horses?
Their strong form, their graceful movement...
If we got those horses
and made them into a cavalry squad,
they'd surely be a huge help
in getting your flag to fly in the capital!
Hey, Kanetsugu...
We've gotta get started!
We can leave right now and...
Calm down, Kanetsugu!
I don't have time to calm down.
If somebody gets them first...
Kanetsugu.
More.
Squid
Kenshin-sama.
It's not good to eat so many spicy, salty things.
You need to watch your salt intake.
Jeez, Kanetsugu, you're like a mom.
I'm not your mom!
Then what are you?
What am I? I'm...
That's weird!
I'm your number one retainer, what else?
More importantly, go on and try this.
What is this?
Cream cheese and anchovies.
It's good!
This is minced shrimp and edamame in a spring roll.
This is good, too.
And a stew!
Good!
Isn't it?
Oh, the clouds cleared.
Look, Kanetsugu.
The moon.
Isn't this nice?
Every day we were there we had to fight.
We never had time to look at the moon like this.
I hope we can stay like this forever.
Don't you think, Kanetsugu?
Yeah... you're right.
Kanetsugu, have some.
But I don't really drink.
Come on, come on!
But...
Drinking alone is boring.
Right?
Okay, just a little.
Um... that's enough.
Oh, come on, just this once.
If you pass out I'll take care of you.
Kenshin-sama!
You need to sleep on the bed!
Kenshin-sama!
I'm fine, I'm fine.
I'm not drunk...
You're drunk.
You never know when to stop when you're drinking.
"If you pass out, I'll take care of you."? Hah!
Now, Kenshin-sama.
Kenshin-sama!
Bi
What do you think?
Kenshin-sama, what is this?
My new flag.
The "Bi" character is for my god, Bishamonten.
It's my dream that this flag someday fly in the capital.
Kenshin-sama, please let me help make this dream come true.
Kanetsugu...
I'm counting on you, Kanetsugu.
Right!
Kenshin-sama, I'll clear a path!
Kenshin-sama!
What happened?
I don't know.
There was this light and the next thing I knew...
Come on, come on!
We've got some good ones today!
Hey, Kanetsugu-chan.
Why not add one of these for dinner tonight?
Look at this!
Nice color, huh?
Yeah...
Thanks!
How long has it been since Kenshin-sama
and I came here?
At first, everything was so different
that I didn't know what to do.
As time passed we started getting used to everything,
and eventually Kenshin-sama
started to enjoy her life here.
Yes. A peaceful life where she didn't have to fight.
But I'm different.
As I started to live in this world,
the color drained from my vision.
I'm sure this world is rejecting me.
To me, this world is a gray one, devoid of color.
Kenshin-sama's back.
Jeez, Kenshin-sama is so lazy with this stuff.
Oh, you're back.
Don't "you're back" me!
You left your clothes everywhere again!
Oh, sorry.
Jeez.
By the way, you're early today.
Yeah.
The shoot ended early.
I see.
I'll get dinner ready right away.
K-Kenshin-sama, that... that...
Oh, it was close so I used it as a towel.
See?
Not "see!"
That flag's going up in the capital someday!
It's important!
This is the last one we have since we came here!
Hey, Kanetsugu.
We need to take care of it.
Kanetsugu.
I've thought I needed to say this for a while.
We have to give up on conquering the world.
Nobody's pursuing it in this world,
and everybody's at peace.
If we can't go back to the other world,
we need to...
Kenshin-sama...
Kanetsugu?
I hate you Kenshin-sama!
Kanetsugu!
Za- Kouenji
My dream was to fight with Kenshin-sama
and raise her flag in the capital.
I wanted to make her dream come true.
To help her.
That's why I've stayed with her so long.
Sometimes I would make strategies with her,
and others spread out my wings and
fly over the battlefield.
But in this world, where she's given up on conquest,
my dream will never come true.
This is a gray world with no dreams.
Kanetsugu!
Wait!
What's wrong?
You just ran off.
If you...
If you give up on your dream of conquest,
what am I supposed to do?
What are you supposed to do?
My dream was to raise
your flag in the capital with you!
So...
If you give up on that dream,
if you stop trying to conquer,
then I can't do anything for you anymore!
There's no point in my being by your side.
There's no point?
You can take care of me like you always have,
and make me dinner!
You don't need me to do that!
This world isn't where I belong.
There's no place for me here.
Kanetsugu!
I want to eat the food you make,
not the food anyone else makes.
So come back, Kanetsugu,
and make yummy food for me every day!
You belong by my side, Kanetsugu!
Kenshin-sama!
Kanetsugu!
Kenshin-sama!
Kenshin-sama...
I haven't seen that in a while.
I'm sorry.
I was just so happy that my wings came out...
Not your wings.
Your real smile.
Kenshin-sama...
Where are we?
I finally found you.
Nobunaga.
How?
I'm here for your secret treasures.
Our secret treasures?
Now, you can either hand them over,
or we fight.
I don't mind.
What about you, Kanetsugu?
Yes.
If you're okay with it.
Um, well, supposedly you can go back
to our old world if you get them...
In other words, if you give them
to me you can't go back anymore—
I don't mind.
I decided to live here in this world with Kenshin-sama.
That's right.
That's how it is.
Kenshin-sama, they say the star of the
next episode is the one-eyed dragon, Date Masamune.
I'm sure her beautiful, brown-skinned body will be kicking butt.
Next time on Sengoku Collection: "One-eyed Dragon."
I actually am pretty amazing, too, if I strip.
