副長謹製の散薬
副長からのバレンタインのお返し。
新選組副長、土方歳三がかつて行商で売り歩いていた薬。
骨折、打ち身、捻挫や筋肉痛などに効用があるとされている。
若かりし頃、剣術修行の傍らでこの薬を背負い各地を行商していたが、新選組結成以降は売り歩くこともなくなった。
この薬はわざわざ土方がむしってきた牛革草で作ってくれたもの。ちなみに歳三謹製のものは特別苦い。
「――俺の許しもなく勝手に死ぬなんてのが通ると思うなよ」
Vice Commander-Produced Powdered Medicine
Valentine's return gift from the Vice Commander.
Medicine that is said to have been peddled by the Vice Commander of the Shinsengumi, Hijikata Toshizo.
It's said to be effective for broken bones, bruises, sprains, and muscle strain.
While he was training in his youth, he traveled around the country peddling this medicine, though he stopped after the Shinsengumi was formed.
Hijikata personally harvested the knotweeds to create this medication. As a side note, the Vice Commander's medicine is especially bitter.
"Don't you dare think you can go out and die on your own without my permission."
