It's been a while since the last time we saw the protagonist, and now he's back in his studio. He's not quite sure what to call his new dog, Tulkinghorn, but he does know that it's time to register him as a member of the household. He wants to make sure that he doesn't have to change his working name, which is "Tsukuba" . But he also wants to know what his new name is going to be, so he asks the other illustrators if they'd like to change it. They all agree that they would like to do so, but they don't want to do it until they've decided what the new name should be. They're not sure how to do this, because they're afraid that if they change the name, it'll make the dog hate them. The other illustrators agree that this is a good idea, and that they'll do it anyway. They also agree that it would be cool if they could change the dog's name to something more appropriate, like "Kunuba the rebel" , since that's what the protagonist wants. They agree that, even if the dog hates them, it would still be cool to call him something else. He also agrees that, as an artist, he can't really do better than his first pencil sketches. He says that he'll be the second most popular artist in the world by the time this book is published, because his work is so popular on social media sites like Facebook and Twitter. He thinks that this will make him a better artist, too, since his work will be seen by so many people.
