He has a son he cares for, but he gives more attention to his craft.
The story shows how tough life will be for his son, Kome. After that, readers meet Smoke, a man who only cares about survival. Smoke is on a mission to steal the power source that the entire nation relies on, the soul ball. In this story, Smoke searches for the powerful artifact and discovers how much the region relies on the artifact. Finally, the collection ends with a story about a salesman who holds a strange and ominous sword.
