Episode 15
Father!
Try holding it.
How does the weight of the sword feel?
It... It feels too heavy.
The sword is the strength.
If you swing it by mistake and
get an innocent person's blood on it,
the weight of it will become an unbearably
heavy burden.
Father, have you also, ever cut an innocent person?
In my life only once,
was there a time when I cut an innocent person.
Choi Kang Chi!
Who's there?
He has appeared.
He wants to kill you!
He? Who?
Wol Ryung. Your father.
My father?
Didn't you say my father was dead?
He has become a 1000-year-demon, and returned.
He's trying to annihilate everything related to Seo Hwa.
Including you, Seo Hwa's son,
he'll try to destroy all that is related to you.
Hurry and run away!
Kang Chi! Help me!
Yeo Wool.
Yeo Wool!
YEO WOOL!
Shh!
Please don't move.
Who are you?
What do you do?
I am
Wol Ryung.
Wol Ryung?
That is right.
That's my name.
What about you?
Moohyung Academy of Martial Arts, Dam Yeo Wool.
Dam Yeo Wool?
By any chance, the daughter of Sheriff Dam Pyeong Joon?
I guess so.
How does the daughter of Dam Pyeong Joon know Choi Kang Chi?
You know Choi Kang Chi, too?
I know his father.
Twenty years ago,
the divine creature that
the divine creature.
What did you say?
Did you not know?
The person who killed Choi Kang Chi's father is your own father...
Sheriff Dam Pyeong Joon.
I guess
you really didn't know.
Then,
does Choi Kang Chi still not know that?
Is that it?
What is your identity?
Why did you appear in front of me, and say such words?
As I am telling you in advance,
you can't take me down with those things.
Yeo Wool!

Yeo Wool!
Are you okay?!
Are you hurt anywhere?!
Why are you like this?
Just what did you see?
Yeo Wool!

♪ Again today, I live in pain ♪
He is using a brand new concept by making an iron clad warship.
Brand new concept... iron clad warship.
You're saying Lee Soon Shin
can actually make this kind of ship?
Because the ship has not been constructed yet,
I don't know if he can actually make it or not.
However,
I'm positive that he
is using my father's 5,000 nyang to build the ship.
How can I trust that
this isn't false information?
What are you trying to say?
It's possible that you purposely brought me false information
to confuse me,
isn't that right?
Right now. . . I'm
someone who's standing on the edge of a cliff.
There's no way for me to go up or grab on,
but I am using all my strength to save my one and only sister.
To live and try to save,
I'm barely holding back and doing my best.
That's why,
don't ever try to push me into a corner.
Don't ever...
Don't test me anymore.
Do you understand?
Which side will it be?
Whether his changed heart is true
or a fake?
Honestly, looking at the situation,
it's impossible to build this kind of ship.
Then you're saying this drawing is a trap?
If
he used your trust and gave you false information.
There is one way
to find out the truth.
What did you see, that you even sprained your ankle?
Did you not know?
The one who slew Choi Kang Chi's father is your own father,
Sheriff Dam Pyeong Joon.
Just . . . got started by myself.
Aigoo... A woman roaming around in the middle of the night, alone in a dark forest.
I heard you disappeared without a word, so I got worried.
You know how dangerous the forest is these days. A woman who doesn't even fear...
But, you use that word 'woman' too much lately, aren't you?
Well of course I would call a woman a woman. Would I call her a man?
Do you even see me as a woman?
Are my eyes button holes?
Of course
I see you as... a woman.
It's done.
Here.
Let's go back..
Master would worry about us.
That's what I thought.
Then...
The atmosphere is not like before.
The new lord doesn't concern himself with managing the 100 Year Inn.
I don't know why he would take over the 100 Year Inn if he doesn't have any interest.
Be careful! Rats hear what is said by night.
Look here, Chae Ma Reum.
Yes, sir.
Can I really
get back this inn?
If so then, can I dream
of my new life?
He is Park Teo Seo, the son of Park Moo Sol, who was the former lord.
He is smart and discerning.
He was caught after escaping from prison, and now he seems to be under Jo Kwan Woong.
If alive, that child would be about as old as he.
Do you mean your son?
Does it hurt a lot? Can you walk?
It's okay. It's not too bad.
Get on.
Hey! What are you doing? It's okay. I am not getting on.
No need to put on a brave face. Go ahead and get on.
I said I didn't want to.
That's what boys do.
Then, should I pick you up?
What did you say?
Which do you want? On my back, or should I carry you in my arms?
My leg's not broken, just sprained a little.
I can still walk fine. I can walk.
Then I'll do the carrying.
Hey. I said it's okay. Put me down.
No.
We're still far from the academy, put me down.
I said, no.
You will get tired.
Why are you complaining when you don't even weigh as much as a sack of rice?
At times like this, just stay still.
Relax your body, pretend like you don't notice, and leave it to me.
How come this woman can't do that?
I feel sorry, that's why...
I'm not tired at all. Even if you tell me walk like this all night, I'll be okay with it.
So, stay still. Hmm?
That's right. You've finally become obedient.
Kang Chi...?
Hmm?
Thank you.
Hmm.
Oh, Gon!
Did you hear my words as a joke? I told you to watch your actions.
What were you doing until now with Kang Chi?!
I told you, I hurt my leg.
You are about to get married to Tae Seo.
You didn't even ask me my opinion, and decided on your own.
It's by law that I pick out a husband for you!
Is it because of Kang Chi's father?
I heard that you killed Kang Chi's father.
Is it true?
Is that why you were so cold towards Kang Chi?
Is that why you kept a distance from Kang Chi?
Does Kang Chi also know?
Kang Chi doesn't know anything.
Then, who told you this?
First, answer me.
Why did you do it? Why did you kill Kang Chi's father?
How exactly?
It has already been a long time.
Father!
I have nothing to say to you about that matter, so leave.
So it was like that.
Seeing you raise your sword first to an innocent person, father and daughter really are the same.
Father is not someone who raises his sword to someone innocent.
However, that divine creature
was someone pure and innocent.
That doesn't make sense.
Believe my words. All of this is true.
That doesn't make sense..
What do I do, Kang Chi?
Did you call me, sir?
Gon.
Yes, sir?
Separate Yeo Wool from Kang Chi for a while.
What? Locked in? Father set a lock in order?
Yes, it's a order and you can't go out from this room.
Move aside. I'm going to tell Father myself.
You can't go out.
Move aside, Gon!
Starting from today, guards will be placed outside your doors.
If you disobey the master's orders and leave,
your comrades will be the ones in trouble.
What did you say? Father even said that?
That's how important it must be.
So please, just this time, please obey the master's orders.
How about Kang Chi? Where is Kang Chi right now?
Who is it? - Shh.
It's me, Tae Seo.
Kang Chi! How did you get here?
What brings you here?
I've come to check something, Tae Seo.
What do you mean, check?
Did you really steal the Admiral's ironclad battleship drawying?
Ironclad battleship. What are you saying?
The ironclad ships that Admiral Lee Soon Shin is trying to build.
You don't know?
Is it really true that you've betrayed us?
I had to protect my only sister.
You know that the only family member I have now is Cheong Jo.
So it's like that. Your betrayal is true.
If I know my opponent and myself,
What?
I can win every battle.
Stop it now. That's enough for now.
I'm positive, my lord, this guy's not telling a lie.
What is all this?
I was testing to see if you've really come over to my side.
The only reason I've come over to your side is because of my younger sister.
So, don't mess with my conscience which I've covered up for my younger sister.
Conscience? You are living with something very bothersome there.
So called, righteousness and justification coming from conscience, and
also the noblemen's pride coming from them..
Isn't that false courage that's makes everything so tiresome and bothersome?
What?
Pursue substance rather than any other.
You, throwing everything for you and your sister,
are more humane.
Kang Chi.
Monk.
Are you awake?
How's your body? Are you able to move?
Drink some of this. It's a special medicine from Master Gong Dal.
He said it's fermented ginger or something. Anyway, it's good for you.
I told you to run. Why are you still here?
Where can I go leaving a sick person?
I'm not someone with no conscience.
It is not a situation to be chatty, Kang Chi.
Your father is going around the whole woods trying to find you and kill you.
How can such thing be my father?
Although he is divine creature, there are moral laws of family relationships.
How can a person who's trying to kill his son be called a father?
Isn't that right, Monk?
If something goes wrong you could die.
You said I would definitely not die.
Divine creatures can kill, and be killed, too.
If I can die, then that means I can also kill him.
Isn't that right, Monk?
Aigoo... You frustrating guy.
Stop saying things that make people sick.
You can never win over Wol Ryung.
Why are you trying to fight someone you can't win against?
That person...
touched something that he shouldn't have.
Don't think about stopping me, and just go somewhere where you'll be safe.
Kang Chi.
I told you not to worry. I found out who he is, so that's enough.
There's that saying.
If I know my opponent and myself,
I can win every battle.
Ah, that's not it.
If I know you and I know myself, then we
either become enemies
or friends.
Isn't that right?
Of course. If it was really you, you've answered like that.
Rest a while, Monk.
What is all this?
Yeo Wool. Yeo Wool!
Where is Yeo Wool right now? Where's the trainer?
Ah you see, Hyungnim...
Is she in the training room? Or is she in her room?
I need to tell her something really urgent so...
What's the emergency?
Oh, Gon.
So just a while ago the roots in the woods...
started to crawl up my legs and..
What?
Never mind. Not you...
Where is Yeo Wool right now?
Starting from today, she's
under lock in.
What? Lock in?
From today, I will be serving you.
I will be teaching you some things about this and that.
What do you mean, some things?
First, we will start from basic courses like sewing and embroidering.
What did you say?
S...Sewing?!
Yes.
Before that, you must change into the proper attire.
Please change.
Go tell Father that I request a meeting with him. Right now!
What's the problem?
Sewing? How can I take up sewing, Father?!
Since you are about to get married, you should
start learning the proper etiquette as a woman.
You told me not to forget the weight of a sword.
To learn how to use the sword to protect the people. That's what you taught me.
Live as a woman.
Put down the sword, and find happiness as a wife.
That is your father's wish.
If it's not Kang Chi, then I don't like it!
What did you say?
If it's not Kang Chi, I don't want to live as anything.
Is that something you should say in front of your father?
What father in the world would want to give up their precious daughter to a half-human, half-divine creature?
Father...
Also, if he finds out that I killed his father, how do you think he'll react?
What will you do if he tries to take revenge?!
Please...
by all means...
don't make me shed the blood of an innocent for a second time with my sword.
Even so, locked in? How can he lock in a person who's healthy and full of energy?
Does that make sense?
It doesn't matter if it makes sense or not. This is all because of you.
What about me? What did I do?
You kept lingering around Miss, so the Master put down this order.
So from now on, don't even linger around Miss.
Does locking up your body close up your heart?
Does wrapping your feet mean that your heart is wrapped up?
Watch your mouth.
Why don't you just tell me to leave, instead of taking it out on a innocent person.
Don't worry, because I was thinking about kicking you out myself.
Put that around your waist.
Why?
If I tell you to, just do it.
Like this?
You..
what did you just do?
Now there's nine left.
What?
Starting from today you have three days.
For three days it'll be smart to protect those other bells.
What if I don't?
The moment all nine bells fall off,
you will be kicked out from the academy permanently.
What did you say?
This guy is really.. Hey, what are you?
Are you authorized to act for Master Dam?
Exactly with what authority are you talking about permanent expulsion and things like that?
I am one of the Four Noble Masters, of Moohyung Academy of Martial Arts, with the Apricot Blossoms symbol.
You have three days.
Until I make you disappear forever.
Whoa... How come...
This doesn't make any sense!
You don't sew with your mouth, you do it with your hands.
Does this make sense? Four Noble Masters are supposed to be the most skilled masters of Moohyung Academy.
Was Gon's skill that excellent? Since when?
Ah. I'm starting to get suspicious of the four masters' standard.
Gon is an opponent who shouldn't be looked at easily.
He's the best in sword fighting right after Master Dam.
Even so. He's just a bodyguard who goes around following Yeo Wool's back.
From this point forward, there are only 8 left.
This guy. Hey! How can you sneak up from the back and do that.
This is cheating... cheating!
There's no rules so how is it cheating?
What? Aigoo.
If it goes on like this, you'll get kicked out in one day instead of three.
What do you want me to do? Should I give you one of these?
It's the special medicine number 2 that I just made.
I made the tablets with fermented ginseng.
So? Why don't you eat one and strengthen up?
It's okay.
Who is it??
It's me, Kang Chi hyungnim.
Why are you like that?
It's nothing.
Did the bell taking game finally start?
Yeah, it started.
Ah. So it's like that.
Then I guess Kang Chi Hyungnim will soon be kicked out.
Right, Master?
Well, who knows?
Seven left.
That...
Now there are six left.
That guy is really...
Hey! Stop right there. Ah!
Ah. Do you really want to die?
Five left.
Hey, YOU...!
Ah... I really can't do this.
Hey, I really don't think I can do this.
I don't know where the needle will pop up.
You can use swords masterfully.
The sword is because I've been doing it for almost 10 years.
Then,
think of the needle as a sword and
wield it around.
There are no forms and orders in using a needle.
There's nothing that works in one day.
That's why, with a positive attitude, one stitch at a time,
join a seam.
Right now.
Aish. Do I really have to go around like this?
What is all this?
Grow!
Grow.. Grow.
That's really strange...
I'm positive the plants were growing before.
Grow!
Grow.
Grow...
What did you just say?
People are saying that Choi Kang Chi, that punk...
So, Choi Kang Chi Hyungnim is the son of the gumiho that Sheriff killed 20 years ago.
That all the murder cases in the woods are the doing of Kang Chi Hyungnim...
Wrong!!
Why are you going around saying things that don't even make sense?
If Kang Chi were really the son of the gumiho, I would've been dead already.
Well that's right, but the people keep saying that, so...
Aren't you going to shut that mouth?!
From this time on, those who are going around saying false information,
see what happens when you appear in front of me.
As soon as you get caught, I'm going to take you all and dump you in the sea of Yeosu. Understand?
Yes.
Do you understand?!
Yes.
Anyway, how did that rumor get out?
Something is really bothering me.
Have you been well, Admiral?
I am doing fine.
What happened to those murder cases from before?
Actually, I have received a report regarding that case.
That's why I came here.
What's the problem?
You may not know since you've just been appointed here, but
20 years ago there was an incident where a gumiho appeared.
And so, Sheriff Dam Pyeong Joon looked for it for 3 months and got rid of it.
And so?
But, it was found out later that the dead gumiho had a child.
And that child is said to be Choi Kang Chi.
What?
Also, it's going around that the people who died in the woods are the doing of Choi Kang Chi.
Does that make sense?
Who in the world turned in that kind of nonsense?
It's
100 Year Inn's Lord Jo Kwan Woong.
So if he doesn't want to be disgraced for taking care of vulgar child of the divine beast,
immediately send that Choi Kang Chi to the government office, and
pass on that he needs to be investigated.
Investigated?
If Choi Kang Chi is a human
there wouldn't be a reason for him not to show up.
Taking an innocent person in to the Government Office to be investigated is also not a proper thing to do.
Remind me your promisory document is still intact.
If Choi Kang Chi is the one responsible for the murders in the forest,
for protecting him, the Admiral also
share the responsibility for that.
Are you trying to threaten me with that promisory document?
You should know the good people are the ones who are being threatened.
The number of corpses found in the forest is increasing.
Because the situation is already like this, why don't we just send Choi Kang Chi to the government office
and prove his innocence.
Isn't it better to do that, instead of waiting until the rumor gets out of hand, Admiral?
I'll be watching
to see if you'll take out Choi Kang Chi,
just like last time.
How is it that you are trying to go against the Admiral.
Because he is someone who can't become one of my men.
So, the only thing I can do is to get rid of him.
Lord, Jae Ryang is here.
Let him in.
You can leave now.
Aigoo, Jae Ryang, welcome!
So, did you rest well?
Thanks to you, I've been fine.
How is the leader of your pack?
We've been had. Who would've known that promisory document would shackle the Admiral's ankle like that?
Didn't the Admiral have anything to say to you separately?
There was none.
Because he cares a lot about Kang Chi, he has a lot of thoughts.
Shouldn't we do something to counter measure?
If something goes wrong, it will not only affect the Admiral,
but also shake the whole navy.
It's also the reason why I came here in a hurry.
Kang Chi.
Lock in?
Yeah.
Look at this.
Why am I doing sewing at my age?
Oh my. It must have hurt.
It must have been really painful.
It would be better to get cut by a sword than poked by a needle.
It's not something you want to mess with.
But I feel better.
Why?
Now you won't go into the woods alone, and
you won't step up to save the world, when you're a just a woman.
Hey, Choi Kang Chi. What are you saying..
Also, you won't be in danger because of me anymore.
But still, this isn't right.
I'm about to die because of suffocation.
What's this? A piece of grass?
Oh ho...! What do you mean, a piece of grass?
Look at it closely.
How was that? Isn't it awesome?
Did you do that? How?
How did you make it like this?
I don't know either.
How can you do it if you don't know?
When I just look at it and think 'Grow.. Grow' it really grows.
Wow.
Kang Chi, you really have something great in you.
You're so cool!
Here.

Thank you, Kang Chi.
Humm.
Miss, did you meet Young Master Tae Seo?
No.
My brother is not at this place right now.
Then, what about Kang Chi?
Is Kang Chi also not here?
Okay, so did you finish what you had to do?
Yes, Head Gisaeng. I've finished it all.
I just wanted to have some fresh air after a long time.
Thank you for taking me here.
Alright. Let's go back.
♫ The words "I love you" ♫
♫ The words "Wait for me" ♫
♫ Only hover over my ears ♫
♫ The words I couldn't say put me in pain ♫
♫ The words "I love you" ♫

♫ I couldn't say anything and my memories ride the wind ♫
♫ As I hide behind my tears, I wait for you ♫
Did you not know?
The person who killed Choi Kang Chi's father is your own father... Sheriff Dam Pyeong Joon.
If Kang Chi finds out that I killed his father, how do think he'll react?
What will you do if he seeks revenge then?
If that happens,
then what will happen to us, Kang Chi?
What is it?
Finally!
I have counted all the beans in this bag!
Aigoo... really? Ok, ok.
How many beans are there?
There are thirteen thousand..
seven hundred and eighty six.
How many?
Thirteen thousand.. seven hundred.. and eighty six.
Aigoo!
How can it be?
That's what I'm saying! How can this be?
How did I count all these beans?
I also think it's so great I'm about to die.
How was that? Did I count them right?
You got it wrong.
I got it wrong?
Yes. You got it wrong.
Then.. 13,787?
No.
Could it be 13,788?
No. It's not that.
You are not even close to the right answer. Got it?
How can that be? I really counted them properly.
One by one, I counted them over and over and again until my eyes became like beans.
What good is counting until your eyes become like beans
when it's not the right answer?
Then is this possibly a
question with no answer?
Where in the world is there a question without an answer?
Then please,
give me a hint to get the answer, okay?
What is this?
It's a broomstick, what else?
Grab onto this.
Why can you not grab onto this?
It's because you move faster than me, Teacher.
That's wrong.
Wrong, you say?
Because you only try to grab onto the broomstick, you can't.
What exactly are you saying?
Well..
what am I trying to say?
The important thing is
essence.
Do you understand?
Aigoo.
Essence.
What in the world is that?
I grabbed the broom because I was told to, but
because I'm trying to grab only the broomstick, I can't grab it?
What is all this nonsense?
Really!
So, what are you going to do?
If 1 in 10,000, because of Kang Chi,
any kind of trouble happens to the Admiral,
we have no choice but to stop it, even if we sacrifice that child.
Grab the broom.
But because I'm only trying to grab the broom so I can't.
What is that? Does it mean not to grab it?
Then how do I grab it?
Ahh! I don't know anymore.
What does that mean?
Who is right there?
Who are you?
Hello...
Young Master Tae Seo.
Who are you?
What brings you here this late at night?
Could it be
because you are curious about me?
That must be it.
It's a good thing anyway. Honestly,
I am also curious about you, Young Master Tae Seo.
Who are you?
Are you Choi Kang Chi?
Who are you?!
I am..
Koo Wol Ryung.

I can't live like that. I... I... To live as a human

No!
Lady Miyamoto has a Choonhwagwan tattoo?
Are you from Joseon?
Tae Seo, don't you want to get back the Hundred Year Inn?
I can also help you fulfill it.
The Admiral is in trouble. Whether I'm the offspring of a gumiho or not. The curious people... CURIOUS PEOPLE!!!
just let them all enter the Hundred Year Inn. I will explain to everyone clearly.
You... feel like a man now.
So, are you happy?
What do you think?
