He wants to fight with the dragon on his own though Flare is begging him not to do so. Cyrano however confirms that the horn is real and asks everyone to leave the town immediately. Ryuma still doesn't get the situation at all and refuses to take responsibility. Remembering her former encounter to a dragon, she states that he can't imagine how terrible a dragon really is, because if he did, he wouldn't have done something that stupid. Much to Ryuma's surprise, she gives him a slap in the face and calls him a murderer for causing the situation. The surrounding crowd blames Ryuma for their misfortune and becomes violent towards him when Flare appears. He then breaks the horn and apparently dies. He then decides to blow the horn in order to summon a dragon to destroy the whole town.

further accuses him of wanting the Dragon Horn he allegedly stole. While Ryuma is completely confused by the situation, D.R.

suddenly starts to scream and accuses Ryuma of stabbing him. As Ryuma is calling the man for touching his sword, D.R. After finishing his meal, Ryuma decides to continue traveling.Īs he is walking down the street, Ryuma's sheath is seen yet again knocking against D.R.'s. He then has a chat with the bartender about 'The King', who is supposed to be the greatest swordsman alive, with Ryuma expressing the intention of fighting 'The King' one day, since he believes 'The King' has the soul of a real fighter. After listening to her story, Ryuma has great respect for Flare, who he thinks of as a very brave girl. This event established Cyrano's reputation as hero and great swordsman. The only survivors were Flare and Cyrano, who saved the girl from the flames of the burning village. Seven years ago, the village in the mountains Flare lived in was suddenly attacked by a huge dragon. Later on, Ryuma is seen sitting at the bar learning from the bartender the story of Flare's hometown. At the same time, another swordsman called D.R. Much to the viewer's surprise, he follows her order immediately. Right before the fight is escalating, Flare tells Ryuma to stop. As the two swordsmen engage each other, Ryuma slashes a copper Buddha easily in half. He challenges Cyrano to a duel-to-the-death. When the latter leaves the restaurant, his sword accidentally touches Ryuma's, which the samurai takes as a heavy insult. He claims that a samurai owes his life to his life-saver, but is ignored by Flare who is talking to Cyrano again. After Flare gave him something to eat, the samurai Ryuma states that this has been his first meal in five days and offers his gratitude to the young waitress. Their conversation is interrupted by a mad looking guy staring through the window on Cyrano's meal with his stomach rumbling loudly. Meanwhile in another restaurant, the waitress Flare recognizes the famous swordsman Cyrano, whom she had encountered before. In the next scene, someone is being kicked out of a restaurant due to him being unable to pay for his meal. It was the only such thing existing and was said to have wondrous powers. The story starts with the narrator telling the story of a dragon's horn that was stolen 10 years ago.
