[That's because I introduced myself first, but whatever.
As for the rest of it he really has no idea how to even address it in his head, so he'll skip over it for now. Just what kind of person is this Hyoubu Kyousuke???]
A name means something, and it loses that meaning when you mix it together. ...besides, 'Sir Major High-sama' sounds cooler than Major Hyou-Kyou High Angel Tsundere Fetish Pervert-sama, doesn't it?
But 'Sir Major High-sama' doesn't have his actual name in it! What's the point of a nickname that doesn't contain your real name somewhere? If it's just a random cool-sounding name, then why – [ Wait, wait, what. ]
If it's just a random cool-sounding name... [ He repeats it again, slowly, eyes widening. Comprehension. It's dawning. ]
Hey, Sir Minato. Do you think Sir Hyou-Kyou is the type to exaggerate his coolness? I don't get why he would. I mean, he's cool enough without being dramatic about it. He's really, really cool, but what if... [ Argh. ]
I don't understand. [ Surely Sir Hyou-Kyou Major-sama can't be that insecure?! ]
[That actually makes Minato realize that 'Major' implies someone who's a bit older than what he'd initially assumed. At the same time he really doesn't want to think of an adult who's supposedly all of these things at once, being that he's already not too fond of adults in the first place.
He allows himself to laze a bit, using his arm as a prop.]
It's possible. I've only heard about him from you, but if he asked you to call him something cooler than his name it probably means that he wants to impress people... [Does that actually work?]
But he's already impressive without the goofy name. It's redundant, anyway. 'Major' and 'high' both mean the same thing! Well, sort of. You know, major, high, big... [ Siiiigh. ]
Len's a tsundere, but she doesn't do the whole acting-cool thing. She just acts tough. [ Whoops, did he just give Len's name? And call Hyoubu's nickname 'goofy'? ]
That's your friend from home, right? Anyway, Hyoubu-san might be referring to a military title, so it wouldn't mean the same thing. [Although given everything else they've said this is still not helping much.]
'Major' is one of the titles used in the military. Does that mean it wasn't the same for your world, Whiss-san?
[Now it might seem that Minato is puzzled because of what Ket said, but he's actually wondering why would anyone let this boy into the military- given the 'Private Oblivious' thing, that seems possible.]
No, it's quite common in my world. [Why does he get the feeling that telling Ket about Japan-specific things isn't a good idea? It's giving him vague and ominous vibes like the one he felt when Fuuka wanted him to try her cooking, and that's not a good thing.]
But he's not that old, is he? That's a rather high-ranking title.
[ Probably imagination. Ket's an innocent ball of sunshine. ]
How high? Higher than general? [ But generals are oooooold. ] Do you even have generals? [ Minato, why is your world so backwards. But speaking of old: ]
Sir Hyou-Kyou's our age. I think. Sometimes he acts younger, but I'm pretty sure that's exaggeration, too...
No, lower. But I don't think it's a rank someone can achieve at such a young age. [Both right and wrong, Minato. No one said he had to be alive at that time.]
You must really like him. [Such an astute observation!] I'm kind of interested to meet him now, if he's as great as you say he is. [Even if he sounds kind of questionable... But it's really not as if he hasn't met plenty of questionable people before this, who turned out to be decent.]
You'd say that even if it wasn't late... [ But okay, that's true. It is late, and Ket's yawning, so he'll make his way over to the washroom like a good boy. Have a casual back pat along the way, Minato. ]
I wouldn't. [But then again exhaustion is getting to Minato a lot earlier no thanks to his element, and he'll just yawn and wave to Ket when he's done with the washroom after that.]

What military title? [ There's no 'captain' or 'general' or 'private' in there, so what? ]
