Osumi: Really?
Ensai: The caravan will turn back once they've made their trades in Pesil, but I intend to go as far as India via Gandhara to obtain Buddha's relics. I don't know how many years it'll take me or even if I'll make it home alive.

Ensai: All you say is "Really, really" to whatever I ask. Your name is Really from now on.
[Osumi almost chokes on his water]
Ensai: Right, Really?
