The Samurai Tales

Dusty: "Old man.. Where do you think they'll go next?"

Clyde: "They're targeting the massacre involved countries. Most probably Egypt."

Dusty: "I'm going."

Clyde: "Well.. I saw that coming. You shouldn't go alone..

I'm doing nothing but getting rotten in this old farm.. For years.

I don't wanna die staying here. I'll go with you.

Let me make my end memorable."

Dusty: "I see.. Oh, yeah. What's your name?"

Clyde: "Clyde Rawlins."

Dusty gets shocked: "Clyde Rawlins?.. The legendary cowboy, famous for his undefeated streak?"

Dusty Yeldstone and Clyde Rawlins set out for Egypt.

Clyde: "To New York by train. Then to Egypt through Suez Canal. Quite a long journey."

December 27, 1875

Aden, Yemen:

Ryujiro: "So we're here.."

December 31, 1875

Vasilisa: "We'll reach Suez in two days. Then our last rush will be through the Suez Canal.. To Alexandria, Egypt."

Ryujiro: "It's a whole empire. The Ottoman Empire. I'm sure that we won't be able to fight and take over. But still I wanna go there.."

Kyoto, Japan. 1865:

Ryujiro: "Master! Tell me! Why is Egypt your dream?"

Kenshin: "Ryujiro. Egypt.. Is my dream because it holds the key to everything.

That country is close.. to the centre of the whole world. That's why it contains secrets about the world.

There's a place called Cairo in Egypt.

There, you can learn how people can have negative age.

And how kings are born."

Present day:

"That's why.. I want to see what mystery this world holds."

Yuki: "Ryuku-kun."

Ryujiro: "Hmm? Oh, Yuki. What?"

Yuki: "Come here."

Ryujiro: "Yeah?"

Yuki: "That day.. I couldn't answer you properly, right.. So. Uhmmm

Yes. I accept your proposal."

Ryujiro: "Did I say something like that?.."

Yuki: "Of course you did!! Don't tell me you were lying."

Ryujiro: "Nah I'm just messing."

Yuki hugs him and a happy couple emerges (maybe)

Yuki: "Happy birthday.. My love."
