In this chapter, we learn that the owner of a small trinket shop, Chima San's, has opened a new store, called "chima trinket box" . The owner, Tomoyuki San, is sick with a cold, but he is eager to open the new store. He asks the owner, Toriko San, if she is interested in coming to work as an employee at the new shop. She replies that she is, and the owner is excited to hear this. He tells her that he is nervous about opening the store as a customer, but that as a staff member, he is free to ask questions of the artists and craftsmen who work at the shop.
