(Scarlet's POV)

Once we reach Ueno Hill, we see officers searching the area

"I don't know how they could have fired from here, there's just a splintered tree, no sign of a gun mound" says the Chief

"It looks like they used the tree to stop the recoil from the cannon" I say looking around

"Even if they were able to rig the cannon like that, there no way they could have aimed it directly at the Akabeko from here" Sanosuke says

"Chief, Chief!" A officers yells running towards the US

What is it" Chief says turning towards him

"We found this" he hands over a ragged paper

"Man's judgement?" What do you think it means? Could it be "Heaven's judgement?" Chief says looking at the paper

I walk over and look at the paper as Kenshin takes it

"Wait I've seen this before, it means Man's judgment right?" I say glancing at Kenshin who nods

"Correct Scar, And no, "Heaven's judgement" means someone's judging on Heaven's behalf, it was uses by leaders of the Restoration "

"Ok I understood that sentence, but wasn't it used by assassins during the Boshin war too, my brother was a part of that war"

"Yes it was" Kenshin answers nodding

"So "Man's judgment" means..." Chief asks

"'Even if the heaven hasn't judged, I will' I think that's the message to this as far as I know" Kenshin says staring at the paper

"I guess there are still people who are unhappy with the new government, right? This cannot be tolerated. Men, come with me" Chief says before running off with the officers behind him

I look at Kenshin "Does any of this make sense to you?"

"No"

"It's the man from Shanghai" A voice says behind us

We turn and see a officer walking up to us smoking a cigarette

"The one who sold Shishio that battleship, he asked me something strange.....'Battôsai still have scars on his cheek?'"

Kenshin eyes go wide for a second as he stares at the ground, I look between everyone before staring at Kenshin confused and concerned. Later after finding nothing else, me and Kenshin return to Kamiya Dojo, I stop him before he can go to his room

"What was that back there?"

"What do you mean?"

"Don't bullshit me Ken, that face you made when that cigarette man came up to us and said something to you, Ive known you for a long time to know that face you made means nothing good" I say staring at him with a concerned glare

He looks at me before sighing softly

"Someone asked about me, if I had these scars on my cheek" He says looking at the ground before looking up at me, I stare in disbelief

"Who would know about your scars?"

He shakes his head "I don't know, and I don't have a good feeling about it either" he says before walking to his room, I stand there before heading to my room to lay down
