Sugimoto avoids an imminent crisis by taking a bite out of the Nikaido brothers himself. At the same time, Asilipa follows Sugimoto to the town of Otaru, where he unexpectedly meets Shiraishi under the guidance of Letala, and his information leads him to the castle where Tsurumi and the others have taken refuge. Shiraishi offers to help save Sugimoto on the condition that he gets a share of the buried gold. However, Shiraishi succeeds in breaking into the building, but in a short time, the horses start to make a commotion when they notice the smell of lettara, and the Nikaido brothers' clutches close in on Sugimoto!

＜Introduction
The story takes place in the noble northern land of Hokkaido!
Survival race for gold stolen from the Ainu people is about to begin!

It is the late Meiji Era. Saichi Sugimoto, a hero of the Russo-Japanese War, nicknamed "Sugimoto the Immortal," is in Hokkaido to obtain a large amount of gold for a certain purpose. Then, he gets a chance to strike it rich with a huge amount of gold reserves stolen from the Ainu people. The gold is hidden by a man imprisoned in Abashiri Prison, and the tattoos on the bodies of 24 escaped prisoners are said to be clues to its whereabouts.

Then, Sugimoto is attacked by a brown bear, but an Ainu girl saves him. The girl, whose name is Asipa, had her father killed by the man who took the buried gold. As if in response to Sugimoto's actions, the 7th Division, the most powerful military unit in the north, and escaped prisoners with tattoos, who have long been in the dark for the buried gold, also begin to make their movements known. What will become of the get-rich-quick survival that takes place in the magnificent northern lands?
