Deal
He had made a bet with Koumyou on the next rising sun, and he would see that that rising sun would have to work hard for his title. Organizing Koumyou's murder, which should have killed that little river brat, was just one step among many. He was going to test this "rising sun" his way, and if the other priest ended up dead, well, that was too bad for him. This was a bet, and those were to be won, no matter the cost.
"Let's bet on the next rising sun." He and Koumyou had done so, but the next rising sun had to be powerful, self-assured, infallible, unbeatable; and he was going to make sure that that was true. If it killed Koumyou's pet, well, then he obviously wasn't the right choice.
He would see the next rising sun chosen and crowned, whether it was him or Genjyou Sanzou.
