As the saying went, endure for a moment and the waters would be calm; take a step back and the sky would be vast. Sogo Doma could not understand why no one in the Kondo Group grasped such a simple truth. Did it matter whether someone's surname was Yamada or Ueda? Not in the slightest.

They got it—she had to be a relative! A relative of the Doma Family, which meant she was surely...
"Thank you for your forthright generosity, milady. Captain Sogo, I'm Ueda..."
"Huh?" Utaha froze. "M-milady?" What kind of form of address was that?
