[00:02] Default
    Thinking back,
[00:04] Default
    the encounter that night was the moment
[00:07] ---
    
    my destiny changed dramatically.
[00:17] Default
    Wait, you little brat!
[00:30] Default
    Dammit! Where'd he go?!
[00:32] Default
    He's a fast one, all right.
[00:34] Default
    He can't have gotten far. Find him!
[00:50] Default
    Yoichi!
[00:51] Default
    Wh-Who the hell are--?!
[00:54] Default
    What?
[01:04] Default
    What the?!
[01:14] Default
    What is this thing?!
[01:41] Default
    Huh. Too bad.
[01:44] Default
    I'd planned on taking them out alone.
[01:47] Default
    Saito-kun, it's only in
    moments like these...
[01:51] Default
    You work fast, don't you?
[01:53] Default
    I simply acted to carry out my duty.
[02:04] Default
    Listen here: Do NOT escape.
[02:07] Default
    Show your back and I'll cut you down.
[02:09] Default
    That flowing, jet-black
    hair took my breath away.
[02:13] Default
    The snow, fluttering, was illuminated
[02:15] ---
    
    by the moon's light as it fell...
[02:17] Default
    Like cherry blossoms
    flowering out of season.
[03:51] Default
    Oh, dear.
[03:53] Default
    Hijikata-san, you were
    so scary, you made
[03:54] ---
    
    the young one here pass out, huh?
[03:56] Default
    Vice Commander, what shall
    we do with the bodies?
[03:59] Default
    Just remove their coats.
[04:01] Default
    We'll have the inspector
    take care of the rest.
[04:03] Default
    What about this one?
[04:05] Default
    Take the youngster back to headquarters.
[04:06] Default
    Huh? No death sentence?
[04:09] Default
    That means we have a witness.
[04:13] Default
    We'll decide what to
    do when we get back.

    Episode 1
    Capital of Snowflakes
[04:40] Default
    Where am I?
[04:45] Default
    You're awake?
[04:48] Default
    I'm sorry, okay? Treating you this way.
[04:52] Default
    I'll untie you. Just give me a minute.
[04:55] Default
    Jeez, that Souji.
[04:58] Default
    It hurt being bound so tightly, yes?
[05:02] Default
    Could you sit up for me?
[05:05] Default
    Take out what's in your mouth.
[05:08] Default
    U-Um...
[05:10] Default
    Where are we? Who are you?
[05:14] Default
    Oh, sorry.
[05:15] Default
    I'm Genzaburo Inoue.
[05:17] Default
    This is the headquarters
    of the Shinsengumi.
[05:19] Default
    The Shinsengumi?!
[05:20] Default
    Don't be so surprised.
[05:22] Default
    Would you come with me?
[05:27] Default
    Okay, go in.
[05:29] Default
    Good morning.
[05:30] Default
    Did you sleep well?
[05:33] Default
    Looks like it.
[05:34] ---
    You have marks from
    the TATAMI mats on your face.
[05:36] Default
    Huh?!
[05:37] Default
    Stop it, Souji. This is serious.
[05:40] Default
    There are no TATAMI marks.
[05:43] Default
    How cruel, Hajime-kun.
[05:45] Default
    You didn't have to say so.
[05:47] Default
    You two!
[05:49] Default
    This is no time for foolish prattle!
[05:51] Default
    Yes, sir.
[05:52] Default
    And? That's the witness?
[05:55] Default
    She's all tiny and thin...
[05:57] Default
    Dude's still just a kid, right?
[05:59] Default
    You're in no position to call
    someone a kid, Heisuke!
[06:02] Default
    Got that right.
[06:03] ---
    To the world at large,
    you're pretty much in the same boat.
[06:06] Default
    Oh, be quiet! You two
    old guys can shut it!
[06:09] Default
    What was that, young man?
[06:11] Default
    I don't recall you ever havin'
    called me an "old guy."
[06:14] Default
    Shinpachi's a different story, though.
[06:17] Default
    Bastard! You sellin' me out, Sano?!
[06:19] Default
    Stop it, the three of you!
[06:23] Default
    My apologies for all the chatter.
[06:26] Default
    Please do not be afraid.
[06:28] Default
    Come, close that and have a seat.
[06:32] Default
    All right.
[06:37] Default
    I am Isami Kondou,
    commander of the Shinsengumi.
[06:40] Default
    Sannan-kun here is the deputy commander.
[06:42] Default
    And Toshi is...
[06:44] Default
    Rather, Toshizo Hijikata
    is vice commander.
[06:46] Default
    Kondou-san! Why are you
    telling him all this?!
[06:50] Default
    I-Is that bad?
[06:52] Default
    You don't go introducing yourself to
[06:54] ---
    
    someone you're about to interrogate, right?
[06:55] Default
    Well, bein' earnest to a fault is
    just like you, Kondou-san.
[07:02] Default
    Well, let's get down to it.
[07:05] Default
    First, will you tell me again about
    last night's events, Saito-kun?
[07:08] Default
    Last night, in town, two Failed Warriors
[07:11] ---
    
    encountered some rogue samurai.
[07:13] Default
    A swordfight ensued,
    so we settled things.
[07:17] Default
    This person witnessed the encounter.
[07:20] Default
    I didn't see anything!
[07:22] Default
    Really?
[07:24] Default
    I didn't see!
[07:26] Default
    Hm. If so, then good.
[07:28] Default
    Huh? Souji said you were
    aiding the Warriors.
[07:34] Default
    No! I was fleeing the rogue samurai.
[07:38] Default
    That's when the Shinsengumi
    members appeared...
[07:40] Default
    So, I was the one that was helped.
[07:43] Default
    So then, you got a good
    look as the Soldiers
[07:46] ---
    
    were killing those rogue samurai.
[07:50] Default
    You're honest at heart.
[07:52] Default
    That's not necessarily a bad thing.
[07:54] Default
    C'mon, go get a blade.
[07:57] Default
    That's the best way to
    keep a mouth shut, right?
[08:00] Default
    You can't!
[08:01] Default
    Don't say such things!
[08:03] Default
    What do you mean by recklessly
    killing a civilian?!
[08:06] Default
    Please don't make that face.
[08:08] Default
    I was just making a joke.
[08:10] Default
    Try telling a joke that
    actually SOUNDS like one.
[08:13] Default
    Please! I won't breathe
    a word of this to anyone!
[08:19] Default
    That's enough. Leave us.
[08:24] Default
    Please! Help me!
[08:28] Default
    I won't say anything! Please believe me!
[08:31] Default
    Please, I really won't--
[08:37] Default
    For your own sake,
    you should imagine the worst.
[08:40] Default
    Things are unlikely to go well.
[08:45] Default
    What? Let him live?!
[08:47] Default
    Is that all right, Hijikata-san?
[08:49] ---
    He saw them.
[08:50] Default
    The failed ones.
[08:53] Default
    Last night, we eliminated warriors
[08:54] ---
    
    who turned their back on the code.
[08:57] Default
    The youngster happened to be there.
[09:00] Default
    Going just by that...
[09:03] Default
    Do you wish to say it?
[09:05] Default
    That is the extent of the
    child's grasp on things.
[09:09] Default
    Well, if you say so, Toshi.
[09:11] Default
    This was your plan from the start, yes?
[09:14] Default
    Otherwise, you wouldn't have brought
[09:16] ---
    
    him back to headquarters alive.
[09:19] Default
    That being said, the secret
    will have to be protected.
[09:22] Default
    We can't simply let him go scot-free.
[09:25] Default
    I know.
[09:27] ---
    There are still things
    I have to confirm.
[09:42] Default
    If I wait around like this,
    I'm sure to be killed.
[09:45] Default
    They even took my short sword.
[09:48] Default
    They're bound to place the needs of
[09:50] ---
    the Shinsengumi above
    my own circumstances.
[09:54] Default
    I have to escape.
[10:06] Default
    You idiot.
[10:07] ---
    Did you think you could escape?
[10:09] Default
    P-Please let me go!
[10:11] Default
    If you escape, I'll cut you down.
[10:12] Default
    I believe I told you that last night.
[10:15] Default
    You'll do that even if
    I DON'T escape, right?
[10:17] Default
    But, I mustn't die!
[10:20] Default
    There's still something I have to do!
[10:26] Default
    If there's a reason that
    you'd risk your life,
[10:29] ---
    
    I want to hear the whole story.
[10:35] Default
    My name is Chizuru Yukimura.
[10:40] Default
    It was about six months ago...
[10:44] Default
    Chizuru.
[10:46] Default
    Yes?
[10:49] Default
    The truth is, I must go to the
    capital of Kyoto for a time.
[10:54] Default
    For work again?
[10:57] Default
    How long is "for a time"?
[11:00] Default
    That I do not know.
[11:01] Default
    It could be one month,
    it could be two months.
[11:04] Default
    Oh...
[11:07] Default
    Please take care, Father.
[11:09] Default
    The capital isn't exactly safe.
[11:13] Default
    Rest easy.
[11:15] Default
    While I'm in Kyoto, I'll send word
[11:17] ---
    as often as I can,
     so that you won't worry.
[11:20] Default
    Okay. It's a promise.
[11:23] Default
    Also, should something trouble you,
[11:26] ---
    
    please call on Matsumoto-sensei.
[11:28] Default
    He's sure to be of assistance.
[11:32] Default
    My father sent word, as promised.
[11:36] Default
    I received letters almost every day,
[11:39] ---
    
    faster than I could reply.
[11:42] Default
    And yet, suddenly word
    from my father ceased,
[11:45] ---
    and a month passed.
[11:50] Default
    Matsumoto-sensei, my only hope,
    is currently absent.
[11:54] Default
    I could stand it no longer,
[11:57] ---
    
    and so I traveled to the capital.
[11:59] Default
    However, I could find no clue
    of my father's whereabouts.
[12:02] Default
    I was already at my wits' end when
[12:04] ---
    I encountered those rogue samurai...
[12:07] Default
    I see.
[12:08] ---
    You came from faraway
    Edo in search of your father.
[12:12] Default
    That must've been tough.
[12:13] Default
    That's why a young girl like you
[12:15] ---
    would dress up, pretending
    to be a man, eh?
[12:20] Default
    What? "Young girl"?!
[12:22] Default
    Dude, you're a girl?
[12:24] Default
    It can't be!
[12:27] Default
    I, Isami Kondou, committed
    a grave blunder!
[12:29] Default
    I never dreamed you were a girl!
[12:32] Default
    She's OBVIOUSLY a girl,
    wouldn't you say?
[12:34] Default
    Yeah, but still... You
    got no proof, right?
[12:37] Default
    What do you mean, "proof"?
[12:39] Default
    Why not just strip her and see?
[12:41] Default
    Huh?!
[12:42] Default
    No! That is utterly forbidden!
[12:44] Default
    Please calm yourself.
[12:46] Default
    But, this is all just...!
[12:49] Default
    You said you're Chizuru Yukimura, yes?
[12:52] Default
    Could your father perhaps be
[12:54] ---
    Kodo Yukimura, practitioner
    of Western medicine?
[12:57] Default
    You know my father?
[13:00] Default
    You're Kodo-san's daughter?
[13:02] Default
    All right, how much do you know?
[13:05] Default
    "How much"?
[13:06] Default
    Don't play dumb. Not about Kodo-san.
[13:09] Default
    What are you talking about?
[13:10] Default
    Has something happened to my father?
[13:13] Default
    About a month ago, there was a fire at
[13:16] ---
    
    the clinic at which Kodo-san worked.
[13:18] Default
    He has been missing ever since.
[13:21] Default
    What?!
[13:21] Default
    The fire was suspicious,
[13:23] ---
    
    but no body was found in its aftermath.
[13:26] Default
    However, it's possible he was
    involved in some sort of incident.
[13:30] Default
    We're in the process of tracking
    Kodo-san's whereabouts ourselves.
[13:34] Default
    If you forget all about
    the events of last night,
[13:37] Default
    you can stay under our protection
    until we find Kodo-san.
[13:42] Default
    Huh?
[13:42] Default
    Don't worry!
[13:44] ---
    We're going to track
    down your father for sure.
[13:48] Default
    Th-Thank you very much!
[13:50] Default
    Good thing you didn't have to die, huh?
[13:53] Default
    For now, that is.
[13:55] Default
    Uh, yes.
[13:56] Default
    Well, if you're a girl, we gotta
    treat you more cordially, huh?
[14:00] Default
    Shinpatsu, you are a sucker
    for women, aren't ya?
[14:03] Default
    But this change of
    heart is way too fast.
[14:05] Default
    Where's the harm?
[14:07] ---
    If this'll add a
    little GLAMOR to headquarters,
[14:09] Default
    Shinpachi won't be the only
    one whoopin' it up, I bet.
[14:12] Default
    Still, as we are warriors,
    handling her will be difficult.
[14:16] Default
    We must give some thought as
    to how we're going to treat her.
[14:19] Default
    Then, we should make her
    somebody's servant, right?
[14:22] Default
    Kondou-san's or Sannan-san's.
[14:25] Default
    No way, Hijikata-san.
[14:26] Default
    As the man with the idea,
    responsibility should fall to YOU.
[14:30] Default
    Yeah. She'll be safe
    by your side, Toshi.
[14:33] Default
    It's decided, Hijikata-kun.
[14:36] Default
    Do your best to take
    care of her, will you?
[14:38] Default
    That's our vice commander all right!
[14:40] Default
    So reliable, aren't you?
[14:41] Default
    All right. Thank goodness for that.
[14:44] Default
    Y-You bastards...
[14:46] Default
    -What's going to happen to me?
    -I said somethin' good, didn't I?
[14:52] Default
    What do you think?
[14:53] Default
    About? That girl?
[14:56] Default
    Yeah.
[14:57] Default
    She's cute, right?
[14:59] ---
    I don't exactly hate her, myself.
[15:01] Default
    That's not the issue here.
[15:04] Default
    She comes to the capital
    in search of Kodo-san,
[15:07] Default
    and that same day she
    encounters our soldiers.
[15:10] Default
    For a coincidence, it's a little
    too convenient, isn't it?
[15:12] Default
    You're saying she was attacked hoping to
[15:15] ---
    
    find out more about the Shinsengumi?
[15:17] Default
    No way.
[15:18] ---
    I don't think she could pull
    off a performance like that.
[15:22] ---
    
SIGN    January, 1864
[15:35] Default
    It's cold!
[15:40] Default
    The Shinsengumi is responsible
    for your safekeeping.
[15:43] Default
    However, because you're a girl,
[15:44] ---
    
    we can't just leave you at headquarters.
[15:46] Default
    That's why you'll continue
    to dress as a man.
[15:49] Default
    All right.
[15:50] Default
    Even if it weren't your
    intent, the presence of
[15:52] ---
    a woman would disrupt
    order within the troop.
[15:56] Default
    Then, what should I...?
[15:58] Default
    You don't have to do anything.
[16:00] Default
    We'll prepare a room for you,
    and you'll stay in there.
[16:02] Default
    Huh?
[16:03] ---
    Wasn't this girl supposed
    to be somebody's servant?
[16:06] Default
    Idiot! Try to keep your
    mouth shut, Souji!
[16:10] Default
    Also...
[16:14] Default
    This is rather important, yes?
[16:16] Default
    No man would be caught
    wandering around without one.
[16:24] Default
    Thank you very much.
[16:27] Default
    Still, when will I be able to
    go looking for my father?
[16:31] Default
    Maybe I'll remain locked
    up like this for good...
[16:35] Default
    I'd say that's up to your conviction,
    wouldn't you?
[16:39] Default
    O-Okita-san, what are you...?
[16:41] Default
    Huh? Did you not notice?
[16:45] Default
    Come this time of day,
    I'm the one in charge of watching you.
[16:49] Default
    Come to think of it,
    people have been watching me.
[16:53] Default
    Does that mean you heard
    everything I said?
[16:55] Default
    Hm?
[16:57] Default
    He heard me!
[16:59] ---
    I'm sure he heard me!
[17:02] Default
    Tonight's dinner has been prepared.
[17:04] ---
    
    Are you about ready?
[17:06] Default
    Saito-san!
[17:07] Default
    Um, Saito-san, you've been
    there this whole time?
[17:12] Default
    Saito-san heard me, too.
[17:15] Default
    I can't believe I didn't know that.
[17:17] Default
    I'll be known as the weird girl
    who talks to herself!
[17:19] Default
    Hey there.
[17:21] Default
    It's feedin' time.
[17:23] Default
    I have work to do.
[17:25] Default
    You go ahead and eat.
[17:27] Default
    Hijikata-san's order was to not let
[17:29] ---
    
    our eyes off her for a moment.
[17:31] Default
    Then we should just let
    her eat with us, right?
[17:34] Default
    Huh?
[17:35] Default
    We were ordered not to
    let her leave the room.
[17:38] Default
    Where's the harm?
    Hijikata-san's gone off to Osaka.
[17:42] Default
    That's right.
[17:43] ---
    I'm getting bored
    of just watching this girl eat.
[17:49] Default
    Huh? What're you givin' this to ME for?
[17:52] Default
    You're the one who brought it up.
[17:54] ---
    Well, let's go.
[17:55] Default
    Huh? Um...
[17:57] Default
    You took your time!
[17:59] Default
    What're you guys gonna do about
[18:00] ---
    the growls my stomach is makin'?!
[18:02] Default
    I'm sorry. It's my fault.
[18:05] Default
    What is SHE doin' here?
[18:07] Default
    What, she's not allowed?!
[18:09] Default
    Nah, that ain't it.
[18:11] ---
    Food tastes better
    when everyone eats it together.
[18:14] Default
    Look, quit just standin' there.
[18:17] ---
    Have a seat.
[18:18] Default
    My apologies.
[18:20] Default
    Okay, here.
[18:21] Default
    Thank you very much, Toudou-san.
[18:23] Default
    Yeah. But enough of the "Toudou-san."
[18:26] Default
    Everyone calls me Heisuke,
    so I'm fine with that.
[18:29] Default
    B-But...
[18:30] Default
    It looks like we're about the same age,
    so it's better, anyways.
[18:33] Default
    And I'll just call you Chizuru.
[18:35] Default
    So, Heisuke-kun, then.
[18:38] Default
    Yeah. That's good.
[18:40] Default
    Okay, Chizuru, nice to "meet" you again.
[18:42] Default
    Yes.

    Thank you for this meal.
[18:49] Default
    Still, tonight's dinner looks
    a little stingy, as always.
[18:52] Default
    And therefore...
[18:55] Default
    Hey, Shinpatsu!
[18:56] ---
    Why you always go after MY food?
[19:00] Default
    It's all about body size.
[19:02] ---
    Guys with bigger bodies
    need more to eat!
[19:05] Default
    Well, I'm still a growing
    boy, so I gotta eat more!
[19:07] Default
    Too slow.
[19:11] Default
    You're eatin' it as-is?!
[19:13] Default
    At least spit out the bones!
[19:14] Default
    That's disgusting.
[19:17] Default
    Want this?
[19:18] Default
    No, I don't!
[19:19] Default
    Why don't ya eat it?
[19:19] Default
    It's like this every time.
[19:21] ---
    I said I don't need it!
[19:22] ---
    Sorry for all the ruckus.
[19:23] Default
    Not at all. Everyone eating together,
    being lively, is fun.
[19:28] Default
    You finally smiled.
[19:31] Default
    You should always smile like that.
[19:33] Default
    We aren't gonna do you no wrong.
[19:35] Default
    Okay.
[19:38] Default
    I may have misunderstood
    the Shinsengumi somewhat.
[19:43] Default
    Can I have a minute, everyone?
[19:46] Default
    We received a message from
    Hijikata-san, who is in Osaka.
[19:49] Default
    It seems that,
[19:50] ---
    in the course of his duties,
    Sannan-san incurred great injury.
[19:53] Default
    And? How is Sannan-san?
[19:56] Default
    The letter said his wounds are deep,
[19:58] ---
    
    but the injuries are to his left arm.
[20:01] Default
    It will be difficult for
    him to hold a sword,
[20:03] ---
    
    but his life is not in danger.
[20:04] Default
    Oh, good.
[20:05] Default
    It AIN'T good!
[20:06] Default
    Huh?
[20:07] Default
    A sword cannot be easily
    wielded with one arm.
[20:11] Default
    Sannan-san may never hold a blade again.
[20:15] Default
    Now then, I have something
    to discuss with Kondou-san.
[20:22] Default
    If it comes down to it,
[20:24] ---
    all we can do is have him take
     medicine or something, huh?
[20:27] Default
    Don't talk foolishness.
[20:29] ---
    We can't think of a higher-up
    as one of the Shinsengumi.
[20:31] Default
    Huh? Isn't Sannan-san the
    Shinsengumi's deputy commander?
[20:36] Default
    Uh, well...
[20:37] Default
    You got it wrong.
[20:38] ---
    The word Shinsengumi
    means "newly selected corps," right?
[20:42] Default
    For the Shinsengumi we're talkin'
    about, the "sen" part means--
[20:45] Default
    HEISUKE!
[20:49] Default
    Heisuke-kun!
[20:51] Default
    Ow...
[20:53] Default
    That's going too far, Sano!
[20:55] ---
    Try thinking
    of Heisuke, and her as well.
[20:59] Default
    I-I'm sorry.
[21:01] Default
    Yeah. I'm sorry, too, but...
[21:06] Default
    Jeez, Sano-san, you're
    quick to take a swing.
[21:10] Default
    Chizuru-chan.
[21:11] ---
    This just now was the
    limit of what
[21:13] ---
    you're allowed to hear.
[21:15] Default
    I'm sure you're curious,
[21:16] ---
    
    but I want you to ask nothing more.
[21:18] Default
    But...!
[21:19] Default
    The "Shinsengumi" Heisuke mentioned...
[21:23] Default
    Means some pretty sad children.
[23:01] Default
    We'll ask the vice commander to let you
[23:03] ---
    
    accompany us on our rounds.
[23:07] Default
    But if you try to escape,
[23:09] ---
    or get in the way of our rounds...
[23:11] ---
    we'll kill you.
[23:13] Default
    Next time
