"Chokata Sonjirou?" Aoto asked with confusion.
"Yes... I guess I haven't told you yet, Mr. Tachibana."
"Chokata Sonjirou was my previous name... or rather, my former alias."
"My real name is actually 'Chokata Sei.'
"In order to successfully sneak into Shiwei Hall under the guise of a male, I gave myself a very masculine name, which was 'Chokata Sonjirou.'
"When I was young, I thought this name was very impressive, but as I grew older, I felt the name was a bit ordinary and lacked distinction."
"So after I reached adulthood, I decided to change my name."
"I added the character 'Toshi' to my original name."
"That's the origin of my current name... 'Chokata Toshisuke.'
"After that, you probably already know the rest, Mr. Tachibana."
"I showed extraordinary swordsmanship talents, which gained the favor and attention of my master."
