Guardian, please help my husband recover.

Guardian, please protect Dongmakgol Village.

All the villagers of Dongmakgol Village are blessed by the guardian.

Haha, I think I was lucky.

Let's eat to our heart's content.

I'm cooking beef porridge, which is excellent for recovery.

This is beef porridge filled with grains.

Traveler! Come on, buy a bundle!

Please accept my heart.

Please bring peace to this village.

Oh, I sense a sacred energy!

Traveler, make a wish for what you desire.

Oh, that young lady is earnestly praying.

That looks golden brown and delicious.

Just looking at it makes me happy. Hoho.

Just taking some time to reflect on life, that's all.

Ugh...

Oh my...

Thinking of the hardships we endured brings tears to my eyes.
I must see the Martial God Tournament, even if it costs my entire fortune.

I came all the way from Seoul with my wife to see the Martial God Tournament.

What's a day like this without liquor? Let's drink and get thoroughly drunk.

Wow! Thanks, dad! Win and buy lots of delicious things!

Let's make good profit during this peak season.

Of course! Let's sell tteok and yakgwa at a higher price.

Haha, you sure know a thing or two about business.

I snuck out of the Cheongsan Institute to see the Martial God Tournament.
I snuck in a straw scarecrow in my bed.

She...suddenly comes to mind. We came to the previous Martial God Tournament together.

Master, don't the clouds look like a dragon today?

It's a regular occurrence. The Seoryeon Corps might be blessed by the dragon.

I'll sell all the goods I brought and head back with a full purse.

I should... But my legs hurt from walking all day.

Please, at least let me hear the sound of clashing swords.

Give up... It's all over.

Haha, how long do you plan to keep us waiting?

Damn, they're selling yeot at that price, but it's selling like crazy!

Maybe I should have some sweet yeot. They're great to have with a drink.

Do you need anything? I'll give you a good price.

I twisted my ankle. Is there anything you can do?

You remind me of your father, Muyong.

You'll remember us after you win, won't you?
I'm so proud of you, Muyong.

Come on... Why the fuss on such a fine day...

Son, share your thoughts about this place.

Ah... The clouds take the form of a dragon and the air is tense in the arena of the Martial God Tournament!

How crude, brawling in the sacred arena of the Martial God Tournament.

My lady, how did you become interested in the Martial God Tournament?

I'll pay any amount if you let me see the Martial God Tournament.

Still three people ahead of me...

You should take your time on steep paths.

When climbing high places, it's important to rest occasionally.

Haha, an Azure Dragon? That's nonsense!

I saw an Azure Dragon in the air! I'm serious!

Hoho, I can finally see the tournament arena.

There's still time before it starts, so let's rest in the shade.

Hoho, I'll grind beans to make a refreshingly chilled bean soup to beat the heat.

Oooh! You know you have to give it to me first when it's ready, right?

I'm content with just drinks. You can have the gukbap.

*Gulps* This makgeolli is to die for. Bring me another bottle!

*Phew* Next time, I'll definitely watch the tournament from the audience seats.

It's really too much. Birds of a feather, as they say...

People should be flexible! Imagine if I were your family!

There are plenty of empty seats. Why won't they let us in?!

I spent my entire fortune to secure a front row seat for my parents.

Isn't the National Music Institution a place only famed musicians can go?

Hoho, we came from the Cheongsan Institute!

Hey, why not invite us to the National Music Institution?

Hmm... I'm worried if that naive fellow can do well.

Here to watch the tournament, too? I'm bored, so let's enjoy it together.

The lovely lady in the front row is my wife.
She dislikes all the smoke, so she sat elsewhere.

Oof! Let's get properly drunk, my friend!

To endure the heat of the tournament, nothing beats cold drinks!

After researching quietly in a room, it's nice to be in the bustling festival grounds.

This is originally a seated area. Since everyone's standing, I ended up standing, too.

The shade under the tent is quite refreshing, isn't it?

The passionate air of the tournament is quite hot. Taking off one's top is a given.

Hoho, my daughter-in-law came down with a cold, so I had to take her place...

Hmm... it's not as bad as I thought.

This is the drink I bought from that Earfolk for five times the price. Well, it sure tastes mighty fine.

I prefer the back seats over the front. Aren't they cozy?

*Gulps* I'm getting drunk. How many bottles have I finished already?

Even a seonbi can't resist the fervor of the tournament without a drink!

Would you like a drink, too? Hehe, not getting drunk at the tournament is a sin.

Looking at the clear blue sky, it seems even the heavens bless the tournament.

I came to watch the tournament with my dear friend Myomyo.

I was born in a poor village long ago.
But with the support of the Seoryeon Corps, I passed the state exam.

Hoho, this happens every time we come to the tournament.

Hoho, it's been a while since my wild spirit has stirred.

Yes, I understand. Anyway, isn't the tournament a prestigious festival?

A joyful tournament can't be without drinks...

I wanted to participate in the tournament but unfortunately, I was eliminated in the preliminaries.

The Martial God Tournament is a festival even the village children know.
It's no exaggeration to say everyone knows about it.

The anticipation... is defintely palpable.

*Gulps* The best way to drink is straight from the bottle.

Tsk, a seonbi scholar shouldn't drink so much.

Phew! The privilege of the front row is being able to stretch your legs.

Ah, my son said it's old-fashioned, so I left the cane behind.

*Gulps* The sikhye tastes great! Haha, you thought it was a different drink?

This is my first time watching the tournament. I'm very excited.

The flame that melts the heart... that's the Martial God Tournament.

What's your occupation? I'm a farmer from Godu Village.

Aren't those two behind us too noisy?
They seem unable to appreciate the rising excitement of the festival...
