As Sugimoto closes the distance between himself and Asirpa, she continues her journey north into the rugged wilderness of Karafuto, driven by a burning desire to uncover the dark secret of her father's past and the key to the hidden gold. Their path takes them deep into Russian territory, where they encounter Kiroranke, a mysterious individual with ties to Asirpa's father and his involvement in a plot to assassinate the Russian Czar.

Meanwhile, back in Hokkaido, Lieutenant Tsurumi ponders the coded tattoos found on the violent escaped convict they have been tracking down near Lake Akan. The tattoos hold clues to the treasure's location, and Tsurumi and his group must use their expertise to decipher them.
