## Synopsis

### History

When Shovel wants to replace his jacket, he winds up giving it to Nana even though it is to big.

Five years ago, Shovel had captured the boss of the House-Eaters before it could eat Tonkachi and Renga. Shovel then asks the kids if they are all right and comments about how he never imagined there'd be people on Hammer Island. Shovel then goes on to create a house that is capable of withstand that harsh environment of the island, and they all sleep peacefully throughout the night. Afterwards, Shovel takes the two as his apprentices and taught them everything he knows.

Once Shovel built a tower of rocks so that he show his apprentices that typhoon from above. Shovel even told them about how he built a home for someone who wanted to live in the typhoon. Shovel goes on to explain that construction gives shape to people's wishes no matter the environment. Shovel tells them that the first thing they must do is build courage in their hearts and they must discard any complaints, since they can't do work if they are not strong. Shovel says if they feel like this is the end, then a door will appear before them and they should never close their eyes because that doo is the exit that will break through whatever they are experiencing and lead them onward. Shovel then give them his headband and tells them to tie this on their heads and get pumped to work when it's time for work.

Three years ago, Shovel told Tonkachi and Renga that its time for them to learn some independence and build there own houses along with living on the island. Shovel tells them that he has taught them all that he knows and for them to go out and try their best. Renga asks what Shovel will be doing, which Shovel explains that he has a big project site and will be working there for years. Tonkachi wonders what the big project is, which Shovel says that its construction for a Build King. Shovel then explains what a Build King is and give some examples. Tonkachi and Renga says that they want to go to, which Shovel explains why they are not ready. Shovel also tells them that they can come as soon as they are of some use, and that he will be sending someone to get them in two years. Shovel tells them that their only requirement is to live on Hammer island and build a house that can withstand the harshness of this island's environment. Shovel comments about how ideally they should build a house that even the boss of the House-Eaters can't destroy. Shovel then says that he will be eagerly waiting for them.
