- Caretaker: Alright, alright, here's the rice.
- Noh family: RICE!
- Seohyun: Dad! It's too soon for you!
- Noh: Ma'am, hurry! Please!
- Noh family: Time to eat!
- Caretaker: Just how long do you think it's been since you left the sickbed? Forget meat, you should be having porridge.
- Noh: I didn't even get a sliver of something savoury the whole time, and now my stomach's all dried up. I gotta have meat, I need meat.
- Caretaker: That said, look at the children. They ate nothing but porridge for 3 whole months. Even Seohyun as well, since her dad and her brothers weren't able to eat anything else.
- Noh: I'm full just from watching my children eat.
- Noh: ...... If they're going to learn, then having the strongest tutor would be best.
- . . .
- Noh: I'm definitely one of the strong in the Murim. It's just that I don't know how to tell who's strong, and who's not... I have to confirm this!
- Twins: Oi, sonny.
- Noh: What is it? Showing up at night, and peeping on over from the fence. Their faces are... familiar...
- Twins: You don't know who we are? Do you not remember?
- Noh: And just who might you be?
- Twins: Look at this whippersnapper! Just who do you think saved your life!? Should I think it fortunate, that you didn't order me to drop your bundle!?
- *Korean proverb, (Fish a drowning man out of water and he'll demand you hand over his luggage). Rephrased, help a man and he'll accuse you of wronging him.
- Noh: Jumping over someone else's fence in the dead of night! What are you doing? And just whose life did you save?
- Twins: Yours! Remember well who saved your life back then! You should know who protected your children's lives! Do you not rememember what we told you? That we'd keep them safe!
- (flashback) We promise you, on the name of the Worldly Chilvarous Duo, The children will be safe. So rest.
- Noh: Worldly... Chivalrous...
- Twins: Right. We are. The Worldly Chilvarous Duo!
- Noh: I am Noh Gajang. I bow out of thanks, to the two saviours of my children!
- . . .
- Noh: It's complicated!
- Twins: What! Why?! It's a hundred times more comfortable than working as some gatekeeper! And the children will be safe!
- Noh: I can't, I'm too embroiled in the Association. Because of my kids, I was willing to join the war against the Murim Alliance. What happened was just simply too big to be ignored. Besides, I need the help of those Dragons. For my children.
- Twins: Just how is that a problem? You're only a first-rate warrior.
- Noh: A man must have a duty. As rough as it was living here, I protected what I needed to. I've also lived here for more than 10 years, with not a single complaint.
- Twins: What should we do? What can we do!? Are we going to just lose them? You're going to have the children be taught here? They must have a master before doing such a thing!
- Twins: Certainly, there are many who are brimming with interest regarding the children. But, we will say this. The children like us, we're already on good terms.
- Noh: It's true that you two are our saviours. But there are just things I can't look past. Without my permission, I, their father, you became close to my children, even teaching them techniques. Is that what you call duty?
- Twins: We were going to tell you! Indeed, things went awry, so we weren't able to tell you sooner!
- Noh: Then when? From what I'm hearing, you might have intended to snatch my kids.
- Twins: H-His perception is sharp. As sharp as the moon is bright. So bright.
- Noh: I am exceedingly grateful that you cherish my children, and for having helped the Noh family. But, I also cherish them. I can't approve of anything that could bring harm to them.
- Twins: Do you think we'll have the children risk their lives?
- Noh: Not in the slightest. But, for now, the children have no other option. Someone mentioned that, since their inner energies were warped, the slightest error would have been disastrous.
- Twins: Not on our lives! Not when we had personally mended them!
