"EMMM..." Faced with everyone's doubts, Sogo Doma was equally "confused." "Excuse me, but what gave you the impression that I absolutely have to adapt to this world?"
"Huh?" Who was it that had just said that if you couldn't change the world, then you should change yourself and adapt to it?
"That's right..." As if he had guessed what everyone was thinking, Sogo Doma continued, "Humans are creatures that adapt to their environment, but if all we did was adapt... then tens of thousands of years ago, humans discovered how to use stones as tools to improve their lives. Later, humanity learned to make bronze and iron tools, and now we've even entered the age of energy— As descendants of the terrifying upright apes who came to rule the Earth, humans aren't merely creatures that adapt to their environment!"
Everyone: "..."
What the hell were terrifying upright apes?
"So..." Yukino Yukinoshita said instinctively, "you agree that people can change the world?"
"When did I ever say they couldn't?" Sogo Doma asked, "confused" once more.
"..." The second young lady gritted her teeth. Who was it that had said her idea of changing the world was too childish?

If you don't even know what this world's true nature is, how can you talk about changing it? You have to remember, it took humanity tens of thousands of years just to realize stones could be used as tools..."
"Understanding the world?"
"What else?" Sogo Doma retorted. "If you just live in your own little world..."
At that, Yukino Yukinoshita's gaze began to drift. "..."
Living in her own little world? This bastard... this guy really was taking a jab at her through someone
