A tale of high adventure and survival!
In the early twentieth century, Russo-Japanese War veteran Saichi
Sugimoto searches the wilderness of Hokkaido for a hoard of hidden gold.
With only a cryptic map and a native Ainu girl to help him, Saichi must
also deal with every murderous cutthroat, bandit and rogue who knows
about the treasure!
The pursuit of the hidden Ainu gold takes Toshizo Hijikata closer to the
truth about Asirpa's father...or does it? Sugimoto and Asirpa arrive in
the town of Yubari just as Hokkaido glides into spring, but little do
they know that their nemesis Lieutenant Tsurumi is also there with his
men. Tsurumi has hired the psychotic taxidermist Yasaku Edogai in a ploy
to deceive the other treasure hunters. Then Ogata, the rogue sniper,
adds even more fuel to the fire when he enters the game...
