Koumyou, of course, finds his son's bullshit funny. "Maaah, you really haven't changed, Kouryuu! You just got taller."

And more comfortable with murder, of course, but that was expected if he survived having the title for very long. Especially inherited from Koumyou, the world's first Sanzo with double duty.

"That was a low bar to pass, master." Sanzo says it so dryly-- is it a joke?

Going by the way Koumyou laughs, it very well may be. "True, true!"

For Devero's suggestion, Koumyou nods, and Sanzo is actually the one to step in his way to stop him, holding the cleaned and sheathed sword out and an empty hand. "Gun."

He's not letting it out of his sight, thanks.
