"I hear a voice."
"What do you mean, Master Koumyou? I don't hear anything."
"That's not what I meant."
"What are you talking about?"
"Do you see that, over there?"
"That's a basket floating in the river."
"The voice is coming from that basket. Yes, I'm quite sure of it."
"But Master Koumyou, I still don't hear anything."
"We need to get closer."
"Aw, look... there's a baby. Now who would leave a baby out in the middle of the river like this?"
"I'm not sure.... Probably someone who doesn't want a baby."
"You don't have to state the obvious."
"He looks so... cold."
"Hey, don't pick it up like that! You're gonna drop--"
"AAAAAAHH-AHH!"
"Oh dear...."
"You pulled a patch of hair out!"
"Aaaaaha-AAAAH!"
"There, there now... I'm sorry. Hush, hush. I'm sorry, little baby."
"Hey... it stopped crying."
"Don't say "it". That's rude."
"But... we don't know if it's a girl or a boy."
"I guess we'd better check, then."
"She's really pretty, so she must be a little girl."
"Oh! You have a little penis, don't you? Yes, you do!"
"Geez... I feel sorry for the kid already."
"Now, what are we going to do about this awful bald spot?"
"Oh! I've seen my old man do this once. You just brush it over to the side, like this...."
"AAAAAAAHAA!"
"Please, stop. He doesn't like you touching his head."
"...there! You can't even see the bald spot now."
"I suppose.... Aw, but you're awful cute with your pretty blond hair brushed to the side, aren't you?"
"What're we gonna do with him, Master Sanzo?"
"I think... I'm going to keep him."
"B-But... Master Koumyou! A child like that belongs in an orphanage!"
"You're so cute! Yes, you are! I'm going to take you home to the Kinzan temple! What do you think of that, little one?"
"Honorable Priest Koumyou, don't be ridiculous! We should at least find a family for him somewhere."
"Yes, that's right! I'm going to take you home, and I'm going to feed you, and bathe you, and rock you to sleep!"
"...are you even listening to me?"
"I'm going to take you to meet all the priests, and the abbot... and then I'm going to read you stories and sing songs for you at night."
"Oh well, if you're so intent on keeping him then I guess I can't complain."
"You can play in the dojo... and I'll carry you around the grounds so that you can see the leaves drop in the fall, and the cherry blossoms in the spring."
"Sheesh... if you're gonna keep this kid you might as well give him a name, don't you think?"
"Oh, a name? Yes, I suppose that everyone should have at least one."
"...are you serious?"
"...Kouryuuu..."
"What? I don't see anything else in the river."
"I'm not talking about the river."
"Then what are you talking about?"
"Kouryuu."
"What?"
"His name is Kouryuu."
"You're going to name the kid after the river you pulled him out of?"
"I suppose you could say that."
"Master Koumyou... you really are weird."
"Ha, ha! Very well then... Kouryuu, how would you like to live with me?"
