Renga comments about how the guy chasing after the house is fast and that he has his butt sticking out. Tonkachi comments about the peaceful sudden appearance and that butts are a symbol of peace, which Renga says that he doesn't think so and that he thinks the guy is in trouble. The guy says that he will rip the house apart, and attacks with his shingle stroke slash attack with his whip saw. The guy manages to cut the house, which Tonkachi and Renga are shocked that the guy was able to split the house in half. When the house puts itself back together, Tonkachi and Renga are shocked by this while the guy says that the house is not just a regular house. Ken explains that the house is a House-Beast and that a House-beast is a monster that can disguise themselves as houses. Ken explains that his girlfriend always tells him about them when they are pawing each other, which Tonkachi says that that is to much information and asks which girlfriend is it this time. Ken says that it is the third one, which Renga asks why this matters.

As the House-Beast heads towards the island, everyone starts to run away. As the House-Beast gets to the island, Tonkachi pulls out his hammer and attacks the House-Beast. As the House-Beast falls into the sea, everyone cheers that Tonkachi is able to defeat the House-Beast. The guy manages to get his pants back and put it back on. The guy comments about how the hammer used to belong to Shovel, and figures that Tonkachi is Shovel's apprentice. As everyone is still celebrating Tonkachi's victory, the guy notices that no one heard him. The guy starts to splash in the water, which Ken tells everyone that someone is coming. The guy exits the water and comments about how the Vigor Hammer used to belong to Shovel, and figures that Tonkachi it Shovel's apprentice. Tonkachi says that the guy is right and that they have been waiting for him to come get them, which the guy gets angry at Tonkachi and tells them to stop celebrating.

Renga tells the guy that they are both Shovel's apprentices and that they were waiting so long for his arrival, which the guy says that Renga is a good kid. Renga asks why he made his entrance twice, which the guy cuts him off and says that he would like to here their names. Renga introduces himself, while Tonkachi introduces himself as a carpenter who builds peace. The guy complains how the ocean is not peaceful since his ship was busted to splinters, which Tonkachi says that the construction of the ocean is still incomplete but he has built peace on the island. Tonkachi says that he made the island sturdy and peaceful just like a Build King, which the guy laughs and says that the island has got to be the most peaceful place on the planet. The guy introduces himself as Nana Schreider and that he is a steeplejack worker. Nana also tells them that he is also Shovel's apprentice and that makes them family.

Tonkachi says that they give Nana a warm welcome, but they notice that the House-Beast has refurbished itself. Tonkachi comments about how the House-Beasts has gotten larger, which Nana asks if Tonkachi hit the House-Beast with the back of the Vigor Hammer. Tonkachi is confused by this, which Nana explain that the Vigor Hammer back can revitalize what ever it hits. Nana says that Tonkachi accidently revitalize the House-Beast instead of destroying it, which Tonkachi comments about how the House-Beasts has gotten stronger. As everyone starts to run when they think that the House-Beast is able to attack, but the House-Beast just blows treasure out of his chimney. Tonkachi is shocked by this, while everyone notices that the House-Beast is spewing out treasure. As Tonkachi wonders why this is happening, while Nana wonders why the House-Beast has kept up his disguise. Nana figured that the House-Beast has stayed like this for decades or centuries since the trees have taken root on it, and wonder if the House-Beast is waiting for someone to come home.

Several Days ago, Nana's ship was destroyed when he was close to Hammer Island. Nana figures that he's got to find a replacement but first he has to go to the bathroom. Nana notices that House-Beast and figures that he can use their bathroom. Nana makes it to the House-Beast but notices that he can't open the door. Nana looks through a window and figures that their is something suspicious about this house. Nana decides to just go into the ocean and take his pants off, but falls into the ocean when the House-Beast leaves with his pants.

In the presents, Nana figures that a thief may have been the House-Beast's owner and that the House-Beast has been going around gathering up money and riches. Nana comments about how the House is still following its owner's orders, while it searches for them. Nana tells Tonkachi that the treasure is spewed out must be its way of thanking him, since the House-Beast has got to feel living vitality first-hand after so long. Tonkachi tells the House-Beast that its a good thing that he mixed up his hammer's front and back sides, because the House-Beast would be dead if he didn't. Nana thinks about how Tonkachi is an honest kid, but feels that he has seen the House-Beast before. Renga asks Nana if their are other creatures that can disguise themselves as houses, which the trolls arrive and that Boss says that there are. The boss explains that the troll's ancestors were pushed to the brink of extinction by house attacks, and that the House-Eaters attacks houses because the House-Beasts and the Build Kings have brought calamity to this world. After hearing all of this, Renga heads over to the House-Beast and comments about how their master told them that their are Build Kings that have saved many creatures from natural disasters, and that he doesn't get any bad feelings from this House-Beast. Tonkachi says that Renga is right but that the House-Beast looks run-down if they look closely and that it even got some of Nana's poop sticking to it, which Nana says that the has even gone yet. Renga wonders who live in this House-Beast and mybe they will find a clue inside, which Tonkachi says that he would love to investigate and asks the House-Beast if they can come in. Nana tells them to not waste their time, and that the House-Beast won't listen to anyone other than its master. Tonkachi and Renga are shocked when the House-Beast open its door, which Tonkachi says that the House-Beast is telling them to come in. Nana is shocked by this and wonders if the House-Beast is opening its heart to them. Tonkachi tells everyone that the House-Beast is saying that they can take a look inside, which everyone comments about how they want to look inside the House-Beast. Nana thinks about how Tonkachi and Renga have the ability to be loved by all houses and even by House-Beasts.
