The secret medicine I made after painstakingly is a transparent medicine. So, according to Shokera, the effect was half an hour, and the effect was three times before the effect was exhausted. When I drank it, I got courage and confidence, and I could clearly see the mysterious world. Sanshiro was a bear and a childhood friend of Nagaya. I was surprised at the rogues who were violent in the bells with medicine. Sanshiro sneaked in to find the Gennoshin Dojo where the rogues had escaped, but he forgot the passage of time and was struck by his disciples. One day, Sosuke, the father of Suzu, was attacked by a phantom thief and was seriously injured and found to have collapsed. Sanshiro in the mysterious world saw a god of death beside Sosuke.
