The chapter opens with {{Torneko}} being awakened by his wife, {{Tessie}}. She tells him that he is late for work, gives him his [[Packed lunch]], and reminds him of his dream of someday owning a shop of his own. While in the village, he speaks to the [[inn]]keeper who lets him know about a [[Steel Strongbox]] in a [[Cave of Safekeeping|cave to the north]]. After equipping himself, he overcomes the cave's traps and finds the strongbox.

Heading south, he finds himself trapped in the small town of [[Shinnock]] with an architect, Archie O'Tect, but he manages to get himself out by staying the night at one of the houses there.

Further south, {{Torneko}} sees the castle town of [[Ballymoral]] where King Shamus is preparing to start a war against [[Endor]], but is frustrated by the broken bridge. The king has called for Archie O'Tect's help in rebuilding the bridge, but Archie is, so far, a no-show. Torneko discovers Finnegan, a prisoner of [[Ballymoral]] for unknown crimes, and enables him to escape by handing him a [[Chimaera wing]]. Back in [[Lakanaba]], a grateful Finnegan lends {{Torneko}} the use of his dog, [[Fido]], which {{Torneko}} then brings to [[Reginhart]], breaking the fox's illusions and freeing Archie O'Tect, who then heads off to [[Ballymoral]].

===Setting up shop===
Following behind, {{Torneko}} speaks to Prince [[Regan]], who secretly asks him to bring a [[Prince's Letter|letter]] to {{Veronica 4}} in Endor. When he does so, she informs her father of the letter's contents, prompting him to write a [[Royal Missive|scroll]] advising Shamus of the love shared between [[Regan]] and {{Veronica 4}}, and giving his blessing for a wedding between the two. King Shamus then calls off his war effort, reasoning that the marriage would give [[Endor]] to him without bloodshed. When this is done, King Norman, repaying the favour, grants {{Torneko}} a license to open a shop in [[Endor]].

After gathering the necessary funds, {{Torneko}} buys out the [[Torneko's shop|closed shop]] to the southwest of town and calls his family over. He also manages to fulfill King Norman's order of 6 [[Steel broadsword]]s and 6 suits of [[Iron armour]]. He then funds the completion of the [[Trans-Montane Tunnel]], and, once it is finished, is among the first to pass through it. This ends the chapter.
