    Won't you buy some flowers?
[00:11] Chizuru
    Excuse me!
[00:13] Chizuru
    I was hoping to ask a question...
[00:16] Chizuru
    A man in his 40s, with a shaved head,
    like a monk, and an Edo accent...
[00:20] Chizuru
    He's a doctor who practices
    Western medicine...
[00:22] man
    I'm sorry, I don't know him.

    Who goes there?
[02:27] Okita
    Dear, dear.
[02:29] Okita
    It's only at times like these
    that you work quickly.
[02:52] Hijikata
    Don't run.
[02:54] Hijikata
    Turn your back on me and I'll cut you down.
[03:16] Okita
    This person saw everything, you know?
[03:19] Hijikata
    We will deal with that one...
[03:25] Hijikata
    after we get back.

[04:06] (Flashback) Kodo
    I must once again travel to
    the capital, Kyoto, for a while.
[04:09] (Flashback) Chizuru
    For work? How long is "a while"?
[04:18] (Flashback) Chizuru
    I see.
[04:19] Kodo
    Don't worry.
SIGN    Yukimura Kodo
[04:21] Kodo
    You are far stronger than you think you are.

SIGN    Kondo Isami
[05:23] Hijikata
    We've checked your belongings.
[05:25] Hijikata
    What are your intentions here...
    Yukimura Chizuru?

SIGN    Nagakura Shinpachi
SIGN    Harada Sanosuke
[05:31] Harada
    Is that Kodo-san's...
[05:33] Chizuru
    Do you know my father?
[05:35] Chizuru
    I'm looking for him.
[05:37] Chizuru
    If you know something, then—
[05:39] Hijikata
    How much do you know?
[05:43] Chizuru
    How much?
[05:45] Hijikata
    You came here because you know
    what Yukimura Kodo has done, right?
[05:49] Chizuru
    My father was supposed to have come
    to the capital for work!
[05:53] Chizuru
    But... this summer, his letters
    suddenly stopped coming.
[05:57] Chizuru
    So I've come from Edo to...
[05:59] Sannan
    Is the poorly executed male disguise
SIGN    Sannan Keisuke
[06:00] Sannan
    because of the current
     lawless state of the capital?
SIGN    Todo Heisuke
[06:06] Toudou
    A woman?
[06:07] Nagakura
    She's a woman?
[06:12] Chizuru
    After I came here,
[06:14] Chizuru
    I called upon an acquaintance of my father's,
    Doctor Matsumoto Ryojun,
[06:19] Chizuru
    but he was away.
[06:20] Chizuru
    I've been going around asking after
    my father's whereabouts, but...
[06:25] Chizuru
    in the end, I ran afoul of some ronin.
[06:29] Sannan
    She may truly know nothing of it.
[06:35] Chizuru
    All of you and my father are...
[06:39] Saito
    How shall we deal with her?
SIGN    Inoue Genzaburo
[06:48] Toudou
    It's not like she found out the reason
    they've gone crazy for blood, right?
[06:51] Toudou
    In that case...
[06:53] Chizuru
    The reason?
[06:54] Okita
    Dear, dear.
[06:56] Okita
    Things are even more complicated now.
[06:58] Chizuru
    Please, wait!
[07:01] Chizuru
    What has happened to my father?
[07:13] Hijikata
    Hey. Take her...
[07:19] Hijikata
    and put her back in that room.
[07:22] Okita
    Huh? You're not going to kill her?
[07:25] Kondou
    Soji.
[07:26] Okita
    I'm joking.
[07:28] Hijikata
    Heisuke, take her to her room
    and keep watch over her.
[07:33] Hijikata
    Kondo-san.
[07:35] Kondou
    Yes.
[07:42] Toudou
    Wait!
[07:44] Toudou
    Would it be all right if I untied her?
[07:49] Hijikata
    If she shows the slightest sign
    of trying to escape, kill her.
[07:59] Toudou
    It's so tight! Soji...
[08:02] Toudou
    This is tied way too tight.

[08:14] Hijikata
    She ended up clearly seeing
    a blood-crazed rasetsu.
SIGN    Extramural Research

    Yukimura Kodo
[08:19] Kondou
    She's Kodo-san's family.
[08:22] Hijikata
    That same Kodo-san
    disappeared from our sight,
[08:24] Hijikata
    and soon after, his relative appeared.
[08:28] Hijikata
    Don't you think it's a little too much
    to be a simple coincidence?
[08:32] Kondou
    Do you suppose...
[08:34] Kondou
    Kodo-san was not kidnapped,
    but left of his own volition?
SIGN    Extramural Research

    Yukimura Kodo
[08:39] Hijikata
    Kodo-san has betrayed us
    and hidden himself.
[08:43] Hijikata
    And to sound out our movements,
    he's sent her as a spy...
[08:46] Kondou
    When you consider the value of the rasetsu,
[08:50] Kondou
    it looked like he had been kidnapped.
[08:52] Okita
    She doesn't seem like
    that kind of girl to me, though.
[08:59] Hijikata
    Soji. Go wait in the reception room.
[09:02] Okita
    It seems someone wants to have a word...
[09:32] Hijikata
    Be killed, or...
[09:37] Hijikata
    assist us in searching for Yukimura Kodo.
[09:40] Hijikata
    Make your choice.
[09:45] Hijikata
    Do it quickly.
[09:48] Chizuru
    Yes! I will help you!
[09:51] Chizuru
    Please allow me to search with you.
[09:54] Hijikata
    You aren't hiding anything else, are you?
[10:00] Chizuru
    I am not.
[10:04] Hijikata
    Forget the events of last night. Understand?
[10:13] Chizuru
    Yes.
[10:14] Hijikata
    As long as you're here at our command post
    you will be given no special treatment.
[10:17] Hijikata
    You will be treated as a man... as my page.
[10:24] Chizuru
    Then... was my father here, too?
[10:28] Hijikata
    We of the Shinsengumi are also searching for him.
[10:32] Hijikata
    He had been following the orders
    of the shogunate alongside us,
[10:35] Hijikata
    but he's been missing ever since
    a fire broke out in the infirmary.
[10:41] Hijikata
    We haven't found his remains.
[10:44] Hijikata
    It seemed like he'd been caught up
     in some kind of conflict.
[10:59] (Flashback) Okita
    It seems someone wants to have a word...
[11:05] (Flashback) Okita
    and it's Sannan-san.
[11:13] (Flashback) Sannan
    As we are all looking for the same person,
[11:16] (Flashback) Sannan
    why don't we have her
    assist us in our search?
[11:21] (Flashback) Sannan
    I believe that having her under
    our control will prove convenient
[11:25] (Flashback) Sannan
    once we've found Kodo-san.
[11:29] (Flashback) Sannan
    And that's regardless
    of whether he was abducted,
[11:33] (Flashback) Sannan
    or whether he betrayed us...
SIGN    Shinsengumi Command Post
[12:07] Hijikata
    I'm concerned about the moves
    the Imperial Loyalists are making.
[12:10] Sannan
    You're speaking of the rumors of large numbers
     of infiltrators from Choshu, correct?
[12:13] Hijikata
    Yes.
[12:15] Sannan
    I'll be careful. I'll be going then.
[12:30] Chizuru
    Excuse me!
[12:31] Okita
    You've been told not to walk about
    without good reason, haven't you?
[12:40] Chizuru
    Would it be possible for me
    to go out to look for my father?
[12:44] Okita
    No. We don't have the personnel
    to spare to guard you.
[12:49] Chizuru
    I have enough knowledge
    of the sword to protect myself.
[12:53] Okita
    Didn't you nearly get killed by outlaw
    ronin soon after coming to the capital?
[12:58] Chizuru
    That was...
[13:03] Saito
    In that case, I will test you.
[13:05] Saito
    Prove to me that your sword isn't just
    a decoration hanging at your waist.
[13:11] Chizuru
    But... if I use my katana,
    Saito-san, you'll be—
[13:16] Saito
    If you absolutely do not wish
    to use your katana...
[13:20] Saito
    then come at me with the back of the blade.
[13:45] Chizuru
    Thank you for this opportunity!
[14:14] Okita
    If Hajime-kun had been serious,
    you'd be dead.
[14:25] Okita
    This is a very nice short sword.
[14:36] Chizuru
    I'm sorry for the trouble.
[14:39] Saito
    Take pride in your swordsmaster.
    Your blade is unclouded.
[14:45] Saito
    If you wouldn't mind
    accompanying the patrols,
[14:47] Saito
    then I'll speak to the vice-commanders
    about allowing you out
[14:50] Saito
    to search for Kodo-san.
[14:59] Chizuru
    Thank you so much.
[15:07] Toudou
    Oh, now look here!
[15:08] Toudou
    It's time to eat, you know...
[15:10] Saito
    Apologies. I'll go now.
[15:12] Toudou
    Make it quick, please!
[15:21] Toudou
    So... you. Chizuru, you should come, too.
[15:25] Toudou
    Or there won't be anything left to eat.
[15:27] Chizuru
    I'm so sorry, Todo-san. I'll go right—
[15:29] Toudou
    Um... Could you stop with the "Todo-san"?
[15:31] Toudou
    Everyone calls me Heisuke.
    That's good enough.
[15:39] Toudou
    And you can stop speaking so politely, too.
[15:44] Chizuru
    Can I call you "Heisuke-kun"?
[15:49] Toudou
    Yeah.
[15:52] Nagakura
    Time to eat!
[15:53] Toudou
    Hey! What are you doing?
[15:55] Nagakura
    It's the age of survival of the fittest!
[15:57] Toudou
    What? Stop right there!
[15:59] Nagakura
    If you want to eat, come and get it!
[16:04] Toudou
    Ow!
[16:07] Toudou
    Hey! Don't eat my fish!
[16:08] Harada
    You should smile like that from the start.
[16:12] Harada
    We won't treat you badly.
[16:17] Chizuru
    I've eaten dinner alone
    more often than not, so...
[16:21] Chizuru
    it's fun to eat with everyone like this.
[16:32] Okita
    Don't let the fact that you haven't paid
    for the food bother you, and eat your fill.
[16:36] Chizuru
    If there's anything I can do, I'll do it!
[16:38] Saito
    Don't let it bother you.
[16:40] Chizuru
    No, sir.
[16:43] Chizuru
    Whether it's cleaning,
    or helping to prepare the food,
[16:45] Chizuru
    I'd like to do what I can.
[16:48] Chizuru
    Please let me!

    Come quickly!

[17:01] Inoue
    He's been gravely injured
    in the course of his duties.
[17:02] background
    Help him over here.
[17:04] Kondou
    Sannan-kun!
[17:05] Kondou
    Stay strong.
[17:08] Inoue
    It seems there's no threat
    to his life, but...
[17:10] Inoue
    the wound is to his left arm...
[17:12] Inoue
    They say it will be difficult
    for him to hold a sword again.
[17:27] Okita
    For Sannan-san... we'll have to use medicine
    or whatever else it may take.
[17:32] Nagakura
    Quit talking so recklessly.
[17:34] Nagakura
    What'll you do if our chief
    turns into a rasetsu?

    on their patrols through the city.
[18:15] Chizuru
    Yes, sir!
[18:20] Hijikata
    Someone looking like Kodo-san has been
    seen in the vicinity of Kiyamachi.
[18:24] Chizuru
    Like my father?
[18:26] Hijikata
    The truth of the testimony
    hasn't been verified.
[18:28] Hijikata
    You're the best one to ascertain
    if it's him or not, that's all.
[18:32] Chizuru
    Yes, sir!
[18:34] Hijikata
    If you run, you will be killed on the spot.
[18:36] Hijikata
    The officers have been ordered to do so.
[18:40] Chizuru
    Yes, sir!

[19:04] man
    I'm in a bit of a hurry.
[19:06] townsperson 1
    Oh. I think I've seen someone like that
    at the masu box store over there.
[19:12] Chizuru
    Thank you very much!
[19:15] soldier
    Stop right there!
[19:16] soldier
    Are you lot ronin?

    If you're in the service of a lord,
    let's hear your clan name.
[19:20] ronin
    Huh? What makes you think
    a Miburo like you has a say?

    What was that, you lowlife?
[19:31] Chizuru
    Is anyone there?

[21:03] Kondou
    What are you doing in a place like this?
[21:05] Chizuru
    Oh... Nothing.
[21:08] Kondou
    Is something wrong?
[21:14] Chizuru
    The person who was captured...
    What will happen to him?
[21:27] Kondou
    If it doesn't seem like he'll talk...
    killing him may be unavoidable.
