Huh? No matter the circumstance, sir,
you really shouldn't nag at the dining table!

Have you finished eating? Aren't you going to eat more?

Ugh... I think I ate too much... Hrk...

"Every blade has a name, and all musas know that name..."
I don't even know the name of my sword... Then, who am I? What am I even doing here...

For someone from Chungwol,
you are getting quite adept at wielding the crescent blade.

Thank you, sir.
The crescent blade is truly a magnificent weapon.

Found it! The 7th volume of "Chilbok the Rascal!"
Hehe, I'll read it alone-

It is fortunate that we could come to the Seoryeon Corps.

We had lost our purpose, but now,
we have found it again here in the Seoryeon Corps.

It is fortunate that the martial arts of the Seoryeon Corps
are similar to those of Hwasun Valley...

If I don't handle them carefully, then off might go my head...

Can you even fathom the value of these treasures?

This is General Seok's quarters. Be mindful of your actions.

This is General Seok's quarters. Mind your manners.

Every item here holds immense value,
and I handle them with utmost care.

This is the very sword used by the Martial God Haeam.
An immense energy is said to be felt emanating from the blade.

"The method to brew genuine pork soup"... Oho...
So you can't just boil the pork, it seems...

"Even if one is sincere, if the other is not, then it is not meant to be."
So, in other words, I was not meant to be with her...

Where is the next volume of "Chilbok the Rascal?"
Where could it be? Ah, this is driving me mad...

The Grand General's Banner here, marked with three seals of the Land of the Morning Light,
was personally bestowed upon Haeam by His Majesty himself.

This banner is the pride of the Seoryeon Corps, the banner of the general.

Ugh... I skipped duties today. How can I slip back in unnoticed?
If Senior Court Lady catches me, I'm doomed...

Hand over lustrous hide.

Oh my, my lord! Please forgive me, if only for my sake...

Oh my, why does my son read so well?
Might he be able to pass the state exam in the future?

Hmm! With the country in turmoil at the moment,
there will be plenty of opportunities for me to shine in the future!

*Phew* I can finally
sit down and rest.

Where are you going this time?

I need to visit Bukpo.
Now that the path is open.

The owner here
doesn't seem interested in doing business.

Oh dear... Aren't all farming tools the same?
Why is this one so expensive?

Please, just a little, so my child can have something to eat.

I am paying my respects to the Guardian Beasts.

Ah, please have mercy on Dongmakgol Village.

I've managed to survive until now, all thanks to the Guardian Beasts.

Ugh... Are you here for the Martial God Tournament, too? Guess they're accepting country bumpkins these days.

I will win the tournament and become a member of the Seoryeon Corps!

Ha ha, this is just the basics! Remember me, for I shall emerge victorious!

Ah... Thank you, always.

Performing a ritual is a sacred act.

Show us now! Hurry up!

Get behind me. You're not thinking of cutting in line, are you?

I'm starving. Come on, just a bite...

Ughh...

Please have mercy... I've been starving for days.

They look after everyone.

Oh, please hear my prayers and save us.

The villagers of Dongmakgol Village have
long revered the Guardian Beasts.

You're at it again! Your actions reflect on the school's reputation, you know!

I shall conquer the Martial God Tournament and make my name known in the Seoryeon Corps!

Would you also like to pay your respects, traveler?

Of course! Who else but our young master would seize victory?

Hey now! Isn't calling us riffraff a bit much?

Haha, what's up with that awkward dance?

It is possible to still be so rough around the edges after all that practice?

Begging is the last thing you should do in Dongmakgol Village.

The four Guardian Beasts are Azure Dragon, Vermilion Bird,
White Tiger, and Black Turtle.

The fox was so fast that I lost track of it.

You need to bundle the mountain of straw into sheaves.

Myopity myop myop! Victory's in my paws, myop!

Well, it's not bad... but it's not worth boasting about either.

Have you heard of me? I played the geomungo at the National Music Institution.

Absolutely, young master, I have complete faith in you!

I walked days to get here... How could this happen? Unbelievable.

How about we grab a bite together? What do you say?

You'd best be on your way, if you're not here to sell.

It's bad that we haven't seen any foxes around lately.

I've served them with sincerity,
and I owe my survival to the Guardian Beasts.

To catch a fox, you need to lean down
and sneak up on it without being seen.

The fish just aren't biting today.

Haha, my friend. Aren't you being too harsh already?

All three of us brothers have passed the preliminaries.

Let me have a sip... Is it really that good?

Looking pretty good! You've been practicing, haven't you?

As the saying goes, pine caterpillars should stick to eating pine needles...

Smoking is my life's pleasure. Nothing like eating corn while doing it.

Can someone spare me some money
so I can visit the herb room? Please...

We spend the entire day trying to warm ourselves by the fire.

Hey, I told you, no matter how cold it gets, I can't give you the fox hide.

Back in my day, I was the best archer in Godu Village!

Haha, are you guys fools or what?

My husband and I are esteemed guests.
We're waiting for the small boat and palanquin to take us to the Martial God Tournament.

Surely you've heard of the indomitable three brothers of Godu Village?

Darling, understand that Father had his youthful days, too.

I've walked for five days straight, barely had a chance to wash up.

Wow, it's yeot! Yeot with dragon's energy? That's incredible!

Care to join me for a smoke?

Ughh...

I'm cooking a watery vegetable soup. Would you like to try it?

Please offer me a fair price. These items are valuable.

Hey, I placed third in the Martial God Tournament.

Hahaha, what do you think of my muscles?

Whew! The wife is truly beautiful. She's one of the most renowned beauties of the Woodo School.

The heavens and all creation flow according to the world's natural order.

How about watching the sea through the gap? The scenery is quite beautiful.

Haha, I feel the same. If I weren't stuck as a military officer,
I'd be a musa in the Seoryeon Corps by now.

How pathetic! Giving up now? Get on your feet!

Hey, I don't have enough money to smoke.

Those greedy bastards. My stomach is killing me...

It's freezing. Please, just lend me some hide.
