Within the Shinsengumi, distrust of Ito's faction is increasing, and Nagakura Shinpachi's irritation with Hijikata for not saying anything grows.
Around the same time, there's a string of incidents in which the shogunate's edict boards that stand along the roadsides in the capital are pulled out of the ground. The Shinsengumi is ordered to guard them.
Later, Harada Sanosuke receives a cash reward for successfully protecting the edict boards. He and a group of like-minded members set out to go drinking. In high spirits, they head for their destination not knowing that Hijikata is waiting there.
