Tadashi Matsubara is said to have been as popular as Mr. Yamanami.
Tadashi Matsubara, who is known for his gentleness, was no match for sake.
One night, on the way home after drinking alcohol, I had a quarrel with a ronin walking from the other side, and I slashed the opponent with too much momentum ...
Matsubara, who returned to me, sought to find an item that could identify him in an attempt to take responsibility for what he had done.
Knowing his identity, Matsubara carries the body on his back and heads for his family.
The man had a beautiful wife and a sick child.
Matsubara just tells a lie.
"This person was slashing with the Ronin. I got help, but I couldn't make it in time."
Matsubara couldn't forget his family because of his sins and guilt.
At last Matsubara has money and goes to see that family.
Days and days ...
And when the child dies, 2 People change into a relationship between men and women.
A few days later, that was revealed to Mr. Hijikata, the deputy director, and Matsubara seppuku . I will try to.
It ended unsuccessfully, leaving only unhealing wounds.
Suddenly one day Matsubara disappeared.

What I saw there ...
In the sea of blood, they were the bodies of two people snuggling up to each other.
Many theories at the end
・ Matsubara couldn't bear his sins because of the relationship between men and women.
He confessed, "I was the one who killed her husband."
After understanding it, the woman also
She replied, "I still love Matsubara."
The end that I've been enthusiastic about together ..
・ Actually, the woman knew that Matsubara had killed her husband.
"Her husband's death!" As Matsubara is killed.
The ending that the woman was killed by the Shinsengumi soldiers who came after that.
・ Actually, the wound on her seppuku was not healed, and it disappeared as it was.
Another Shinsengumi record is "disease" There is something that is described as events in the novel Was it?
Summary
It's a historical thing, and I think there are some parts that are exaggerated as it is handed down.
However, the sad story so far will be born because there is even a little truth.
I don't think everything is true, but I don't think everything was a lie.
