[Well, the dig does manage to get Tenka to laugh. How much of Tenka's time really is spent laughing at Sousei anyway? Still though... it's enough. Whether or not Sousei ever wants to disclose the Yamainu's true purpose is up to him but Shinpachi does know enough.]

Yeah.... Sousei's definitely gotten suited to the role of Captain over the past couple years.

[Which brings him back around to his point-]

Guess that's why I always think it's funny that I used to have his job. [He meets Shinpachi's eyes and manages mildly-] Ten years ago, he was my vice captain.

[And then Tenka had to leave the Yamainu and his best friend.

Whoa, look at that nice little circle that he drew.]
