Kondou-san...
And Sasaki... Where the hell'd they go?!
Matsu: Toshi, look ou......
SFX: DOGO WAAAA

Page 3:
Hiji: Katsura!!
Zura: I'm glad you're all right Matsudaira, Hijikata.
Guy: Vice Chief!!
Zura: What in the world is going on?!
SFX: BATA BATA
Matsu: It's just what it looks like. Everything's going just according to how Sasaki expected it would go.
Enemies and allies are scattered all over.
Hiji: What about Kondou-san?
Zura: I lost sight of him after the explosion.
Someone: !
There's no time.
Unless we take advantage of this confusion
we may lose our chance to escape this island.

Page 4:
Hiji: I'm telling the other officers now.
The longer this strategy goes on
the more organized the enemy will become and the more difficult escape will become.
SFX: PAAN
Hiji: An hour and a half.
I've told them that if that much time goes by, no matter what state the battle is in, all units are to make a retreat.

Page 5:
Hiji: This is the limit.
Tottsan, scrape together some officers and escape this encirclement.
If you can make it to the sea, there'll be a decoy unit on standby with a ship.
Guys: V... Vice Chief!!
Hiji: If by the time the last soldier retreats
Kondou-san and I aren't back yet
forget us and escape on your own.
Whether I make it back or not,
this is the Shinsengumi Vice Chief's last order.
So you'll listen to it, right?

Title: Lesson 543
Signal Fire
Author: Sorachi Hideaki
SFX: WAAAA
Zaki: A signal fire...!!
It's a signal to retreat.
It's saying that we can't use this way as a path for retreat anymore
so each individual should flee using different routes.
That's got to mean
that the rescue of Kondou-san was successful.
Anyhow, if we stay here any longer we'll be dead before we see the Chief again!!

Utsuro: How unfortunate.
My feathers are grand and vast.
A single rat cannot escape.
GUys: C-
Captain Okitaaaa!!
Oboro: ...Utsuro-sama,
there is no need for you to dirty your hands
on any more vulgar rats.

SFX: DODO
Oboro: We will
clean up the rest.
Utsuro: Honestly, are you treating me like a retired old man, Oboro?
I am tired of having only the old men of the Tendoushuu to oppose me. There should be no problem letting me have a little fun after taking the time to come down here, should there?
Oboro: My apologies, Utsuro-sama.
But the rat you were most interested in, the Shiroyasha...

Page 11:
Oboro: has already been blown away
merely by the sound of your wings flapping.
Utsuro: ...I see.
That is unfortunate.
Yama: Shinpachi-kuuuuun!

Okita: Run.
Get away from here, now.

Still breathing, are you?

Shin: Okita-saaan!!
Guy: !!
SFX: WAA
Utsuro: If you stood up in order to change this country,
then you cannot become disheartened from something like that.
Please use all the power you have.

Someone: ---Director.
Directr!! You're all right?
Please respond.
I can't get a hold of the Vice Chief either. What in the world are we...
SFX: PIH
Sasaki: Honestly.
You've ordered our subordinates to retreat, but you're still there, are you?
Nobume-san,
It seems you knew how impossible my plan was.
Even by sending the Mimawarigumi against the rebel forces,
making everything we have clash together,

Page 16:
Sasaki: was it
not enough
to overthrow the heavens?
With things as they in which are I am going to lose everything and die a pointless death,
I never expected you, a member of Naraku, to take such actions.
It seems like there are some things even elites do not know.
Why don't you abandon me?
Why do you continue to stay there and fight?
And why am I
heading in that direction?
