As expected, even people in town also talking about our defeat in Shirakawa[9]. Everyone is worried when will the war reach to Aizu, huh? By the way, it’s so noisy over there. What? A woman was involved with a drunkard swordsman? *sigh* As expected, there always be that kind of people in every places.
00:35
Hey, you over there! If you have at least a little pride as a warrior, you can’t behave like this! Be shame of yourself! *smirk* You still asked after you see this sign? Yes. I am Saito Hajime from Shinsengumi. *The drunkard gone*
00:59
What a waste of my time. Hey, woman! Are you okay? He seemed to grab you so hard. Your arm is reddened. You better to cool it off quickly. You don’t need to thank me. Good bye then.
01:16
What are you doing? Don’t grab on my sleeve. I told you, you don’t need to thank me. Don’t think about it. As a fellow soldier, I just can’t overlook his vulgar behavior.
01:35
There is a girl visitor for me? This is not a place for a girl to wander around. Send her back. What? A messenger from Lord Katamori’s older sister? Hm? A messenger from Princess Teru[9]? What does she need from me? It can’t be helped. Asked her to wait for me.
02:02
*A few minutes later*
Excuse me.
*Saito open the door*
Hm? You are the girl from the other day? Normally, I will send you back if you just came here without notice. But, to say that you are Princess Teru’s messenger is… how brave of you to tell such a lie. Princess Teru’s private secretary? You? Princess Teru taught you that Aizu woman is have to return someone’s favor, so there’s no way for you to lie? My apprentice said that there is a refined girl waiting for me, and I think that it would be someone with a high social status. But I never expected that you are Matsudaira family’s messenger. But, I just following my code as a warrior, I was not trying to help you. I mean you don’t need to return me the favor. It will be dark soon too. It’s better if you leave now so you will not get caught by someone like those before.
03:06
Sasamochi[11]? You bring this much? I told you, you don’t need to thank me just because of the incident before. *Saito’s subordinates came and took away the Sasamochi you brought* Hey, you guys! Our guest is still here! Seriously! It’s not enough just by saying thanks and suddenly went off!
03:29
I’m sorry for that. It’s not usual that a woman like you came here, on top of that, since we just came back from the war before, they must be so happy to be able to eat such a sweets. But, we ended up receiving those sweets from you. I am indebted to you. You’re laughing so much. And why are you the one saying thanks? You’re happy because I receive your gift? *sigh* You’re really unusual. It can’t be helped then. As my gratitude of your sweets, I’ll accompany you to the castle.
04:07
By the way, you’re so dare to put up with me even you already knew that I am Shinsengumi member. Like the drunkard guy before, even that we’re Aizu clan’s aid, everyone here feared us as an assassin troupe, and deliberately avoiding us.
04:27
I am gentle? You are always longing to meet me? I don’t understand. Look, we’re arrived. It’s my payment of your sweets. Then, good bye.
04:53
Why are you cleaning my garden? Your sweets yesterday were enough for your gratitude. It’s true that I didn’t eat it. By the way, since when did you make friends with my subordinates here? Listen, if you don’t understand yet, I’ll tell you once again. You have a good etiquette and a well-educated girl. You don’t indebt me anything anymore. It’s not good for you to involve yourself with me more than this. If you understand, hurry and go away!
05:27
You still have something to pay me? Beside the incident at the town before? We never met before until yesterday. It means there’s nothing for you to pay to me, right? I don’t understand. Until today, I have killed so many people. I often deceive people as a spy. I also had done some unforgivable things too. I don’t plan to change the way I live. And I’m sure there are so many people out there who resents me. If you’re stay close to me, nothing good will come to you. Then, if you’re already understand, quickly go away.
06:07
It must be hard, you say? I don’t know what you’re saying. I just obey Hijikata-san’s order and give my best for Shinsengumi. I don’t need to feel any emotion at all. What you’re saying is so strange. Of course it’s an important mission. It doesn’t have anything to do with my feelings.
06:29
Who is that? Is that one of a higher-ups in Aizu clan? I remember him. That’s your father?? I see. So your father holds a responsible position in the clan. What’s up with your father? You heard stories of Shinsengumi from your father? But it’s not this kind of talks, right? It’s because of Shinsengumi’s fault, Aizu get this much resentment, or that kind of talks, right? You don’t need to hide it. It doesn’t matter what other people think of us.
07:12
People of Aizu are all grateful to Shinsengumi? Yeah, it’s true that Lord Matsudaira the other day came to us, and personally give us some encouragement words, and build a tremendous gravesite for Kondou-san in the eastern mountain. I see. If the other warriors and the people realy felt that way, that’s a very grateful thing.
