The chapter begins with discussions about an upcoming summit concerning the rebuilding of the Tower of Babel, a project that could unify languages but also disrupt numerous industries. The main character finds a magic pouch and learns about its ability to store items, leading him to suspect its connection to a past character. He later finds a goblin's bat, which he learns is a powerful hostage tool, while also inadvertently taking on a mountain deity as a parasite. Finally, the peach tree blossoms, and its fruit may hold special medicinal effects, but may be too young to provide said effect.
