誓いの羽織
―――もう纏う事のない浅葱の羽織。
幕末最強の人斬り集団『新選組』が纏ったと
いわれる羽織。
共に時代を駆けた仲間達、ある者は戦に斃れ、ある者は病に斃れ、またある者は絶望に斃れた。もはや誰一人として彼の傍らに立つことはない。
彼こそが始まりの一人にして最後の新選組。
誓いは彼方に誠はここに。
Haori of the Vow
―――The pale blue haori that will never be worn again.
A haori that was said to be worn by the best group of warriors of the Bakumatsu, the Shinsengumi.
Comrades who dashed through the ages together. Some fell from battle, some succumbed to disease, while some were undone by despair. There is nobody left who can stand next to him.
He was truly the man who started it all, and the last of the Shinsengumi.
His vow now far in the distance, but his "makoto"―his sincerity―remains.
