The narrator, Kompot, has bought a new plot of land to build a house, as his current village forge is too small. However, a resident from the village accuses Kompot of stealing emeralds from the villagers and spreads false rumors about him. The villagers believe the resident and block Kompot from entering his own house, intending to sell it and take the money as payment for the alleged debt.
Kompot comes up with a plan to prove his innocence. He remembers that he can turn into a resident by brewing a potion and sneaking into his own house to retrieve his phone, which contains evidence of his transactions. After finding the necessary ingredients and brewing the potion, Kompot successfully turns into a resident and gains access to his house. He retrieves his phone and shows the villagers the evidence, proving that he did not steal from them.
