Saichi and Asirpa head to Otaru, the largest town in the area, in seach of the tattooed prisoners. They quickly learn they're not the only ones after the treasure: the army is looking for it too!

Asirpa takes Sugimoto through the Hokkaido forests, where they encounter a bear in its den. Sugimoto is impressed by Asirpa's knowledge of the land. Meanwhile, another, older force is after the gold.
