The second season picks up where the first season left off. Sugimoto, a veteran soldier, and Asirpa, an Ainu girl, are determined to find the elusive Ainu gold to fulfill their respective goals. However, they are not alone in their quest, as various factions and individuals with their own motives seek the treasure as well.

As Sugimoto and Asirpa delve deeper into the treacherous wilderness of Hokkaido, they encounter new characters and face deadly challenges.

As the season progresses, Sugimoto and Asirpa uncover new clues about the treasure’s location, leading them to confront the harsh realities of war, the Ainu culture, and the legacy of the Russo-Japanese conflict.
