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 trained him. Manjiro revealed that the staff Seiko gave him was actually an "Ogre Club," a weapon that could play a vital role in the battle against their enemies.
Meanwhile, Momo and her allies have arrived at the shrine in Shimane, where they discover the theft of the sacred hammer Uchide No Kozuchi. A phantom thief is attacking temples and stealing valuable artifacts. The chapter ends with the group preparing to pursue the perpetrator, using a tracker installed on the stolen weapon.
