"Ainu it!"

I had an inkling that Tsurumi had done something like that, he is just this kind of guy, and when he was explaining it to Kikuta about how could trust copies he made it sense to me now we have confirmation.

tsurumi mixing in real with the fakes he let ariko steal seems kind of obvious to me?
otherwise as hijikata said it would make it easier to know where all the fakes are
kind of like when a game of cheat/bullshit goes on too long and one player has all of a certain card except with less certainty.

So Tsurumi gets to fourth wall break

"I gaze closely at my hand..." Shinji is that you ?

Thanks for your work as always EH scans!

Usami giving creepy vibes on that last page

Sooo... I guess someone from page 12 is going to die soon?

Thank you so much for the translation.

Honestly, i am quite bored of Sugimoto's antics. So far we're back where we were a hundred chapters ago. Hope something really happens, like the russian governement getting involved or the chinese or something.

Thanks for the translation

Sugimoto is an angry drunk.

I wonder what Shiraishi will want to do with his share?

Thank you so much for the chapter!!

Jeeez, keep that knowledge, he probably kill you otherwise

im so curious about shiraishi's backstory and what he actually wants... despite how goofy and carefree he seems, he never ever shared personal info about himself, i mean nothing serious. its kinda sad when you think about how a man like him who managed to escape from prison never even tried to build a new life or have some goals to pursue... truly "always doing the same thing"... fooling around, not really caring abt spending a few more months in prison cuz hes gonna escape anyways, just wasting his life. it seems to me that he too may lack proper dreams for his future just like sugimoto. but while in sugimoto's case it was stated that he always thinks about others, shiraishi was the opposite and had a very selfish mindset (that he actually changed and finally discarded during the karafuto arc).
theres just so much we dont know about him.... but this little moment in this chapter makes me think that noda didnt forget abt him and is now tryna build up to a backstory reveal or something.

i just hope he gets his happy ending, cuz this gold hunt really changed him for the better

Shiraishi is the real 5Head mastermind.

Tsurumi is so damn smart, I love it.

Why do I feel Shiraishi is gonna get the gold but do something completely different with it?

maybe Hijikata still believe that the oil seller skin is fake, but he said it's real to manipulate Asirpa to fall more into doubt and uncertainty so he can pressure her to tell him the key, and her to bend more easily to the pressure

the dedication to jerking off for such a long time is admirable

"Ainu it!" :D

Translator... Thank you for the golden pun joke right there. 10/10

Shiraishi now actually thinking what he wanted to do with the gold instead just spending it to fooling around... I hope it's related to the POSSIBLY good ending for the golden trio.

When I read the page that switches to Tsurumi's point of view I actually said: "Fuck yeah!" out loud
