With Kojiro's past regret having been brought to light, Kiyoto and Fudo already know what's been making him act like he intends to finish something after seeing Goumon.
"So that's why…I understand now why you wanted to keep it a secret."
Kiyoto nods once.
"Yeah, I'm ashamed of it."
Kojiro scratches the back of his head.
"Though thanks to my wife and Lord Kirisame, I've got back up and somehow…redeemed myself by being a father. But, I think it's not enough for my sins."
Kojiro looks at the clear sky where there are birds flying around freely.
"I want to face the root of the problem. Then the opportunity arose when I heard someone who's not just strong, but also has an unbroken conviction needs a travelling guide…sorry, that's my main reason for why I volunteered. I guided you here knowing that I would face my past once again."
Fudo raises her hand.
"Oh, that's why you're not that surprised seeing Goumon back then!"
