Trigun Episode 26: Beneath the wide blue sky

Resting from his last adventure, Vash pledges to dedicate the whole day in May City to love and peace. He eats a quick breakfast and goes outside to wrestle with the neighborhood kids. A woman walks by and sees Vash injured on the floor. Vash immediately takes advantage of her concern and attempts to hit on her, unsuccessfully. It seems the wrestling was just a set up for Vash to pick up girls. One kid won't play with them, and Vash discovers that he is having a hard time helping his mom with her restaurant. He says Vash can eat there as long as he doesn't hit on his mother. Being hungry, Vash agrees and discovers none other than Nicholas behind the counter. Nicholas tells the sad story of how he saved the kid's mother from some bandits out to collect on a debt. He is helping her while kid's father is currently away trying to scrape together the debt money. His charity doesn't end there, as he entered Vash in a quick draw competition in order to raise money. He threatens to expose Vash for the reward if he doesn't comply. Back at the hotel, Meryl and Milly are very against the idea since it would provide gunslingers a good opportunity to kill Vash and take the bounty on his head. Nicholas brings bottles of liquor from the restaurant to celebrate for the competition. He humbly apologizes for not asking Vash's permission, and he makes it clear that his only concern is helping the children. The agents drop in, and Milly gets a little tipsy after a few drinks.
