Reading this chapter again after finishing this arc is so satisfying

Everyone’s first impression of Sugimoto is the same. Sugimoto is truly nice

that hand holding got me feeling kinda fuzzy ?

I suspect someone is using some kind of bear costume to get rid of the competition and get all the platinum

@Sarsak

Tbf, they only valued gold at the time and platinum wasn't incredibly useful for anything until more electronic systems came into being. Heita's mentioning of how blacksmiths hated it because it damaged their tools just reinforced the historical lack of use that it held for many, until he mentions "just recently" part about the pens and a new found, and more importantly, profitable use for platinum.

Speaking of platinum...the Spanish dumped pretty much every platinum they found in the ocean while they were colonizing South America..

That hand-holding scene was great lol.

Twins?

Is it just me, or does the artwork in this chapter seem a little rushed?

Is this gonna turn out like that one Samurai Champloo episode where they hallucinate on shrooms?

Thank you for the historical notes; it really puts things in better context.

Are all of them dead and our characters are just hallucinating?

I <3 bears

Thank for this chapter and the very interesting notes! It's very interesting to know why the fountain pen is named that way, I've always wondered about it.

Man, we barely got to know these guys but it sucks knowing they're gonna die.

Is this gonna be a ghost or illusion story?

Every naked encounter between Sugimoto and Shiraishi- "Yes, they gay?"
Sugimoto and Shiraishi holding hands- "OMG They married! ?"

This chapter was gayest of them all so far. How lewd

i appreciate how betrayed she looks at the intimate hand holding.

Oh yeah, 10 bucks says the guy turned cannibal. HE'S the wen kamuy.

It's freezing as all hell, and these guys are sweating
