He's the one from yesterday.
Whoops!
Hey, you big brute!
You bastard!
Well, I guess that's about the best you've got.
Shinpachi, I'm sparring with you here because you asked me to!
What's with that smartass attitude?!
Uh-oh...
Wait a minute, Sanosuke!
I'm at a disadvantage if you use that!
There's no time for that in combat!
Okay, okay!
I get it, so let's just call it quits and grab some food!
Food?!
Mr. Hijikata, are you awake?
Come on, if you stay in bed forever,
mushrooms will start growing on your head.
It's been raining nonstop since yesterday.
I wonder if the puppy was able to find shelter from the rain.
No idea.
I won't give up.
You are actually a great man.
You said you were going to exact revenge.
For that purpose, could you abandon everything, even your humanity?
Damn it...
Moron...
Why do you have to be so stubborn?
It's almost time for breakfast.
Come on, hurry up!
Dammit, Tetsu!
He's still there?
Tetsu, you've made your point, okay?
That's enough already. Let's give up.
Okay?
I will fear nothing, not even demons.
Please turn me into a demon.
You're small in all respects,
but your eyes have the mettle of a full-fledged man.
You're a lot like Souji.
All right.
Tetsunosuke Ichimura,
out of consideration for Souji, I'll allow you to sign on.
Really, Mr. Hijikata?!
Tetsu!
I did it, Dad, Mom, Tatsu...
Well, isn't that great?
Are we alike?
I think there's someone else he resembles much more.
Oh, it seems the rain has let up.
Seconds!
You sure are energetic for having been up all night.
That's good!
Don't drink miso soup like it's sake. Just don't.
Oh, come on, it's good!
You know, Tetsu,
I'm keeping a lid on a whole lot of things I want to say to you.
Aren't you going to sit still and listen even for just a little bit?
Seconds!
Goodness gracious, you eat a lot.
If your seniors get mad at you on account of not being able to get seconds for supper,
don't say I didn't warn you.
Miss, this food is great! I haven't had anything this good in two years!
Really? You sure do pay a pretty compliment.
Because, well, the meals we used to have were pickled radish, pickled radish, pickled radish,
maybe dried sardines once in a while.
Tetsu...
Guess I can't hardly cut corners with my cooking
when we've got two such darling things who've just signed on.
Two things... Meaning me too?
Here.
All right! Thanks, Miss!
My name's Ayumu. Ayumu Yamazaki.
But I don't mind if you just call me Ayu.
Ayu?
You're a good kid.
I reckon this is what having a kid brother's supposed to be like.
You have a kid brother?
Of sorts...
Good morning, cannon boy!
We came to say hi!
You remember us?
Oh, here comes the noisy rabble again.
Sorry about that, Ayu.
Ichimura, was it?
Congratulations on getting in!
You're something else to make Mr. Hijikata change his mind!
We were watching your match yesterday! But man, you're small!
Who are you people?
Oh, guess we hadn't introduced ourselves yet.
I'm the Tenth Unit Captain
and the best spear fighter in the Shinsengumi!
Sanosuke Harada! 25 years old!
Also known as Suicide Attempter Sanosuke!
Behold my badge of honor!
The scar from attempted seppuku!
Your stomach's still in banquet mode!
I've gone and done it!
And I'm his keeper, the great Shinpachi Nagakura.
I might not look it, but I'm the Second Unit Captain.
Nice to meet you.
What the hell did you just say?!
There's one more. A funny guy named Toudou, but...
Well, I'm sure he'll be back eventually.
So, the two of you both serve directly under the Vice Commander.
Right.
You got it.
Hey, you're...
You giant monster, how dare you trample me yesterday?!
Trample? Did I now?
Sorry, I just don't see anyone who's smaller than Shinpachi!
What the hell did you say?!
Cool it!
I'm very sorry! He's just a brat who doesn't know any manners.
Lemme go, Tatsu!
But maybe that's what worked in his favor.
An ordinary brat wouldn't have challenged Souji to a match,
nor would he have stuck it out all night in the rain.
That's right. I wish I could've heard your famous line too.
Well, I'm sure things will get tougher from here on out,
but I've got high hopes for you, Shorty.
Don't call me Shorty.
Well, that's all we came to say. Wanna get going?
What? Me?
Your daily tasks.
We hadn't explained them to you yet because of yesterday's commotion, remember?
Come on, bro, up on your feet!
Please stop.
Stop...
What about me?
We told you, remember?
That things are gonna get much tougher.
So, about yesterday's action...
By the time we got there,
the Second Unit had completely cleaned up.
So you went out there for nothing?
Well, in the end, the Choshu are just samurai from the countryside.
Excuse me...
I...
Hey, you're the kid that joined up this morning, right?
You sure are little!
Are we really sure about signing on a whelp like him?
I'm fifteen years old, damn it.
Hey, little guy!
Which Unit are you being assigned to?
If you don't know, try asking Mr. Hijikata.
Mr. Hijikata?
Oh, man. Mr. Hijikata's that scary guy, right?
You're that pig!
Hey, hold it right there!
Mr. Hijikata...
What is it? You're in an awfully good mood, Souji.
Yes, when I think of how we're getting a cute page starting today...
I don't remember having turned this place into a day care center.
And where is that brat wandering around anyway?
I believe Mr. Harada and Mr. Nagakura went to get Tetsu.
Those guys...
Hold it right there!
Oh, and here he is, right on cue.
Hold it!
There, there.
You bastard!
You should know better, Tetsu.
A page shouldn't be wandering around here like this.
Page? You mean me?
Mr. Hijikata is growing impatient.
Why don't you go make him tea or something?
I'm Mr. Hijikata's page?!
Hot!
I spilled it.
Listen to me, Tetsu.
Being Mr. Hijikata's page isn't something just anyone can do.
It's an incredible thing.
Are you listening, Tetsu?
I joined to become stronger and here I am...
Serving tea!
Damn it! I'll serve him some mopped up tea!
Oh, Mr. Hijikata!
Why have I been assigned to be the Vice Commander's page anyway?
He's the one who hates me the most.
Are you scared?
What?
It'll be fine.
You'll be able to do it, because it's you.
Okay, no one's looking.
Be quiet!
Tatsu!
What time do you think it is?
What're you doing in here anyway?
I figured you wouldn't be able to sleep anywhere else,
so I was getting it ready for you.
That's...
I know. It's okay.
But...
Don't you think it's about time you could be forgiven for letting it go?
Tatsu!
That's...
Mr. Hijikata's room...
I presume you have heard this from Mr. Nagakura and Mr. Harada,
but concerning the incident on Kiyamachi Street yesterday...
Please take a look at this.
Yes, thank you.
I see.
So they did disappear onto Oike Street after all.
They're up to something.
I saw the same ronin going in and out again today.
Good work. Continue investigating the matter...
Please wait a moment.
Who the hell is this guy?
What is it?
Nothing, it was just a pup.
A pup...
The hell did you call me?!
Who's a pup...
That voice just now...
You know, Tetsu, if you do any more dramatic things,
I seriously might not survive trying to keep up.
Or did you want to give dying a try?
Keep it to a minimum, we don't have any medicine for nerves here.
I didn't do anything wrong.
I followed him thinking he might be a robber
and I heard him talking to the Vice Commander
about yesterday's incident and people being up to something!
That suspicious man you saw? That's a watcher.
Watcher?
They're different from our other members
and they move around gathering information.
They're basically what you'd call spies.
Normally, they live as other people and don't show their faces,
so they're treated as mystery people even here.
Wow...
But you certainly know a lot for them being mystery people.
Oh, well, I cook for everyone, so that's nothing.
Hey, hey, could I become a watcher too?
Because...
I can't fight against the Choshu as a page.
Tetsu...
Could it be that you two have a vendetta against the Choshu?
They killed our parents.
Of course, the Choshu Clan is known
for leading the loyalist movement to bring down the Shogunate.
We were told the ones who killed our parents
were extremist exclusionists even among the Choshu clansmen.
And we thought in order to find their murderers,
the best way would be to join the Shinsengumi,
who work under the Military Commissioner of Kyoto.
If we joined the Shinsengumi,
we could get information on the Choshu and also become stronger.
I was casually saying it would serve to kill two birds with one stone,
but it seems this guy here took it seriously.
That's boys for you.
I've decided! I'll quit being a page and become a watcher!
That's just not funny...
I mean, come on!
There's a brat about the same age as me doing a cool job like a watcher,
while I have to serve the Vice Commander? That's totally wrong!
I'll show them that I can do better than that spiky-headed bastard!
And his eyebrows are starting to go too!
Tetsu, you moron!
I'll bet he doesn't have any friends, either!
Like hell I'll lose to a no-eyebrow depressing guy like him!
All right, starting tomorrow, I'll be a watcher!
So that's it.
All right!
Well, since that's settled, I'm going to sleep now!
Good night!
Oh, there he goes again without saying thanks.
I'm really sorry. You treated his wound when it's so late at night.
It's not a bother. I was having trouble falling asleep anyway.
I don't think of him as endearing,
but I suppose it's natural to get mad when someone else badmouths him.
Please don't let it get to you.
He meant no harm.
Well, then...
A watcher?
He still just pisses me off!
It won't open!
Damn it, Tatsu, open the door!

Trying to act tough just because there's a cute girl around.
Next time, Peacemaker Kurogane, Chapter 3: "Crimson"
Something big might happen.
