Ep. 12: Kiroranke defeated and killed while Asirpa seeks truth about her father's death

Kiroranke gains the upper hand in his fight with Koito, but he is shot by Tanigaki. However, before Tanigaki can kill Kiroranke, Asirpa arrives and demands to know if he was responsible for her father's death. Unfortunately, Kiroranke dies before answering her. As Sugimoto's group cover Kiroranke's body in ice, Sugimoto tells Asirpa that before her father died, Wilk said that he did not kill the Ainu transporting the gold. Gansoku catches up with them as they head back to the Nivkh village near Ako with Sveltlana, while Sofia follows at a distance. Svetlana promises to tell her parents she is still alive and travels on to the Russian mainland with Gansoku where they have an adventurous future together. Sugimoto's group persuades a Russian doctor to treat Tsukishima and save Ogata at his small hospital, but when Ogata recovers consciousness he escapes. Sugimoto is secretly pleased as this prevents Asirpa from becoming a murderer, however Sugimoto swears to eventually find and kill the sniper himself. Later, Sugimoto and Asirpa reaffirm their partnership to find the gold, then head off to continue their quest with the rest of the group; Koito, Tanigaki, Tsukishima, Shiraishi, Cikapasi and Enonoka.
