Around a campfire, Shiraishi tells Toshizō Hijikata, Nagakura Shinpachi, Inkarmat and Kiroranke, of his time in Kabato Prison when he met Chouan Kumagishi, a master forger. Shiraishi asked him to draw a shunga for him which he kept for company, but Kumagishi drew the face of a nun who visited prisoners called Sister Miyazawa. Shiraishi thought the picture was badly drawn, a round face with tiny features, but after a while he fell in love with her and decided to escape and meet her. He made a duplicate key with the help of Kumagishi, and escaped alone on a stormy night. He pressed local yakuza for information and tracked the nun to Maebashi Prison, but he was recognized, arrested and imprisoned. This time he went on a hunger strike, shrinking so that he could squeeze through the cesspit access door and escaped again. Next he tried Kanazawa Prison, Akita Prison and Kyoto prison, eventually earning the title of The Escape King. Finally in Abashiri Prison he met her where he discovered Kumagishi's likeness was accurate. Meanwhile, Kumagishi confessed to Sister Miyazawa that all he ever wanted to do was to make great art, not become a forger. In part two, the Ainu legend is told of "Sak Somo Ayep" [lower-alpha 2] a giant, glistening black snake which is said to inhabit Hokkaido. | |||||||||||

Inside the house they find Nakasawa Tatsuya and Wakayama Kiichiro plus the heads of two men who tried to fix the horse race at Naganuma. Sugimoto realizes that one must be a yakuza sent to kill Kiroranke and suddenly Wakayama attacks Sugimoto with his sword. However they declare a truce until they deal with the bears, not realizing that Nakasawa is one of Wakayama's men with whom he has had a sexual relationship. They roll dice to decide who must retrieve the ammunition pouch from outside, and Wakayama loses. He retrieves some bullets, but is chased and caught by a bear, however the others sees a prison tattoo on his body. The other two bears break into the house and Asirpa and Sugimoto manage to kill one and wound the other. Wakayama returns with a car and a machine gun and shoots one bear dead, however Nakasawa falls from the car and Wakayama risks his life to save him from the remaining bear.
