Izuminokami Kanesada has manifested. Horikawa Kunihiro, who is the beloved sword of the same former master of the Shinsengumi, Hijikata Toshizou, is pleased and immediately begins showing him around the citadel. Yamatonokami Yasusada and Kashuu Kiyomitsu are also happy to be reunited with Izuminokami no Kanesada and they enjoy reminiscing about the Shinsengumi. Meanwhile, the ten thousand leaf cherry tree is in full bloom. The sword warriors enjoy viewing the cherry blossoms underneath the tree but trouble brews when Jiroutachi ends up drunk...

Yamatonokami Yasusada and Kashuu Kiyomitsu are preparing to go on expedition in Edo with Yamabushi Kunihiro, Otegine, and Hakata Toushirou, who recently arrived at the citadel. However, just before they go off on their expedition their master has been laid low with a fever. On the advice of Yagen Toushirou, the group adds one more mission to their Edo expedition and heads into the mountains to collect medicinal herbs that can relieve a fever.
