Days later, Gein finds out that Yahiko has been eating at the Akabeko multiple times a week and informs Kanryu about it. As Kanryu goes to meet with Yahiko at Akabeko one day, Gein waits outside with Inui. After the meeting is finished, Gein leaves with Kanryu and Inui.

A week later, Gein goes to the Kamiya Dojo with Kanryu and Inui to receive that documents for the dojo. Gein waits outside until Kanryu takes to long and the two enter the Dojo. As Inui comments about the reason they were brought, which Gein says that they are far from town and that they can easily cover up anything they do. Gein tosses a wound child to Kenshin, and says that the child was trying to seeking refuge here, so he grabbed him and also says that the child was already wounded when he got here. As Kenshin leaves, Gein follows after him.

As Gein follows Kenshin over the roof tops, Gein thinks about the route that Kenshin is taking and how he will not be able to catch up to Kenshin. Gein comments about how he sees that Kenshin is the legendary Hitokiri, and that Kenshin is the perfect subject to show his skills on.
