A story of epic adventure and survival! Set in the early 20th century, Russo-Japanese War veteran Saichi Sugimoto ventures through the wilderness of Hokkaido in pursuit of a hidden treasure of gold. Armed with only a mysterious map and the help of a native Ainu girl, Saichi faces off against dangerous criminals, bandits, and outlaws who are equally eager to claim the gold!

Asirpa and Sugimoto have finally returned to Hokkaido, determined to find the Ainu gold for themselves. Lieutenant Tsurumi and Hijikata are also close behind. While Sugimoto and Shiraishi devise a plan to locate a strange tattooed prisoner called Botaro the Pirate, a series of brutal murders in Sapporo catches Hijikata’s attention.
