:) Well, I didn't feel comfortable calling her Inspector Widget all
that often, and since she's younger than me, and from a formal Japanese
background, calling her Miss seemed to be the polite thing to do. My
other teammates being a warrior and a pirate thief didn't rise to her
level of societal respect. BTW, Ayuma (a.k.a Osaka) and Tomo would be
excellent pairings for their teacher to attempt the LOTL in someone
else's omake. Nyamo's too fit, and Chiyo's too smart, especially for
"rising to the challenge"
