Recap: What happened in chapter 201
The previous chapter, titled Here We Are, In Shimane, featured the reunion between Okarun's group and Manjiro, who was responsible for training him. Manjiro revealed that the staff given by Seiko is actually an "Ogre Club," a weapon that could play an essential role in the battle against their enemies.
Meanwhile, Momo and her allies arrived at the shrine in Shimane, where they discovered the theft of the sacred hammer Uchide No Kozuchi. A phantom thief is attacking temples and taking valuable artifacts. Thus, the chapter ends with the group preparing to pursue the culprit, based on a tracker installed on the stolen weapon.
