[ Story ]

Just as the Tatsunokuchi family has come into the possession of a large amount of gold, a cholera epidemic turns the castle city into a ghost town and the whereabouts of the gold is unknown.
Among those who search for it is the masterless samurai, Sakon, who eventually finds a way to enter the castle. With the help of the Princess, Sayo, he begins the final adventure as rival bands search the deserted castle for the treasure.
