## Plot

Tamami Sakura, the female boss of the Kanto Sakura group, came to Kinugawa Onsen to mourn the Kinryu boss of the Otaki group who committed suicide by her younger brother. Tamami is harassed by Shinsuke, the son of Kinryu, who runs the inn after the dissolution of Otaki-gumi, because the boss of the Kurobe group, Tatsuzo Kurobe, refused to transfer the rights to Motoyu. Knowing that, I felt suspicious about Kinryu's suicide. During the festival, Tamami, who appeared in front of the Kurobe group that opened the gambling house, exposed the squid and was surrounded by the dry matter of Kurobe. However, a young man, named Muteppou Masa, jumped out there and threw the yakuza. At that time, Junkichi of Hanashima Farm, who had been fooling around with Madam Ranko of the cabaret "Kegon" run by Kurobe, gave the right of Motoyu to Shinsuke, the co-owner of the money kata borrowed from gambling. I handed it over to Kurobe without any consultation. Shinsuke, who appeared in the negotiations to return the title, was locked up in a room, and Masa, who came to look for a job, gave him a pistol to hire him if he erased Shinsuke. Masa, who took Shinsuke to the lakeside, triggered it in front of the Kurobe family. Shinsuke disappears into the lake. Masa became a relative of Kurobe from that day. Tamami, who was worried that Shinsuke wouldn't return, tried to find out the truth when she met Masa, but Masa just laughed silently. The politics also appeared at Hanashima Ranch, handing a letter to Junkichi's sister and Shinsuke's lover, Reiko. Reiko's eyes shine with joy when she reads it. --- Kurobe, who says that everything has come to an end, appears in front of him, a hitman sub who should never return. Kurobe refused to meet Sabu for some reason and ordered Masa to Barase Sub. Masa and Sub who confront on the lakeside. For a moment, the sub hand was quick, and he lied, "Kurobe killing the gold dragon is my job," he said. However, when Masa saw Suki, he fired a gun at Sub and handed him over to Tamami who appeared. Then Masa took the suspicious Tamami on a boat to the villa on the opposite bank. Shinsuke was alive there. Everything was done by Seiichiro Tashiro, an engineer at the Geological Survey of Japan, who was favored by Kinryu when he was a student.
