Russo-Japanese War veteran Saichi Sugimoto embarks on a perilous quest to uncover a hoard of hidden gold, armed only with a cryptic map and the assistance of a native Ainu girl. As he navigates through treacherous terrain and encounters a host of murderous cutthroats, bandits, and rogues who are aware of the treasure's existence, Saichi must endure countless dangers and challenges.

The allure of the hidden Ainu gold is immense, and Saichi is willing to risk everything to claim it. However, the quest for the treasure comes at a heavy price, as lives are lost and relationships are shattered along the way. The murder of the Ainu for their treasure remains a mystery, and with Kiroranke dead, Ogata may hold the key to unraveling the truth. However, after the confrontation on the ice of the Mamiya Strait, Ogata requires medical attention, leaving him in a precarious position.

The tension between the two factions escalates, and the possibility of a bloody clash looms large.

As the search for the gold intensifies, Saichi and his companions face numerous obstacles and dangers.

Despite the odds, Saichi and his team persevere, driven by their determination to uncover the truth and claim the hidden gold. They face numerous setbacks and betrayals, but their resilience and courage never waver. With each passing day, the stakes become higher, and the danger grows more imminent.

In the end, Saichi and his companions must confront the ultimate test of their courage and determination. Will they be able to find the hidden Ainu gold and claim it as their own? Or will they be consumed by the greed and treachery that surrounds them? The outcome of this thrilling adventure will leave readers on the edge of their seats, wondering what fate awaits Saichi and his companions in the rugged wilderness of Hokkaido.
