Tetsunosuke Ichimura wartet unbeirrt vor dem Tor des Hauptquartiers im Regen und erreicht damit, dass seinem Wunsch, der Shinsengumi beizutreten, entsprochen wird. Allerdings wird er nur als Bursche des Vize-Kommandeurs Toshizu Hijikata, der auch "Teufel" genannt wird, arbeiten.
Tetsu spends days waiting outside in the pouring to join the army but Hijikata still refuses.After Souji persistant Hijikata finally let Tetsu in the army.Hijikata went outside and welcome Tetsu inside himself.Tetsu then fainted because he was happy and he was worn out.He eventually meet new friends the next day like Ayu,Shinpachi,and Sano.The next day he learns that he's Hijikata servant and was so pissed off(I mean is he good enuff to even be a servent:P).Souji said it's very hard for a servant for someone to become Hijikata's servant.Will Tetsu just be his servant and not actually be part of the army?
