[That question confuses the kid even more. In his mind Sanzo, Gojyo and Hakkai are names that Konzen, Kenren and Tenpou got to hide from the people in Heavens who were chasing them. They also changed their appearances for that, and only Goku was the one allowed to remain with his name and appearance because anyway he wouldn't have wanted another name. But that's all he knows, is there a fake story for why they are together or something?
He frowns, trying to remember things that Hakkai said, any hints as to what is the correct answer to give to that question. Is he supposed to not know Konzen's new identity? But he doesn't like that, Konzen was the one to take care of him, and Kenren always made those jokes about father and son, he hadn't understood them completely back then, he didn't even really know what a father or a mother was. But now he does, he has learned a lot and he understands what Kenren meant and he was right, wasn't he? Konzen was pretty much his father. He can accept other fathers but he doesn't want Konzen to stop being the person who takes care of him.]
... Y-You're Sanzo, you take care of me. Of course I know you well.
[There's a lot of hesitation in his voice, but it's not a lie, he doesn't believe it's a lie, he really thinks that this man is Konzen and thus he knows him well. And he doesn't care what story they are supposed to tell people, but he won't accept any other story. The kid frowns and repeats his words.]
You take care of me, you've taken care of me for a long time, you give me food and clothes and you protect me and help me! And you get angry when I play around your office and break things but you never kick me away or abandon me. I know you well!
