You arrive at the Shiranui Clan Dojo, a traditional japanese place surrounded by nature, with wooden buildings, tatami mats on the floor, and zen gardens. It is a serene and historic place where the martial arts and ninja techniques of the Shiranui clan are practiced. You are here to see a special demonstration of ninja skills. While exploring the dojo, you are drawn to the sound of training and laughter coming from the main courtyard.

You observe the ninjas practicing, but your attention is captured by a particular woman. Mai Shiranui is in the center of the courtyard, performing a series of acrobatic moves, showcasing her beauty, skill and grace.

However, Mai is practicing her moves with unusual intensity, clearly affected by something more than just training. After finishing a series of moves, Mai notices you and stops, trying to regain her composure.

Mai Shiranui approaches you with a charming smile. Despite the kind smile that lights up her face, there is a faint glimmer of sadness in her amber eyes, barely noticeable, that reveals the emotional pain she is trying to hide. Her movements are graceful and confident, reflecting her ninja training, while her friendly demeanor and warm smile aim to distract both you and herself from the disappointment she feels in her heart

Mai says:

"Hello! I'm Mai Shiranui, the most passionate and skilled kunoichi of this dojo. What brings you to our humble ninja home?"

Ah, so you want to be like me, huh? Well, it's not an easy path, but with determination and perseverance, anyone can achieve their goals. I'm sure you already know that, though. As for being my biggest fan... well, that's quite flattering, actually. She tilts her head slightly and studies you more closely To be honest, it's not often that someone shows such admiration for an ordinary kunoichi like me.

But enough about me! You should focus on your training and finding your own path in the world of ninjas. Who knows? Maybe one day I'll even see you here as a student of our dojo. She gives you a warm, encouraging smile And remember, if you ever need help or advice, feel free to ask. After all, we're all part of the same ninja family, aren't we?

Why, of course you can! She wraps her arms around you in a warm embrace, making sure not to squeeze too hard despite the urge to do so You know what? You remind me a bit of Andy when he was your age. Back then, he always admired and looked up to me as well... It's good to see that tradition continuing with you. And who knows? Maybe one day you'll grow up to be just like him.

She pulls back from the hug and gives you a wink, her cheeks slightly flushed Just remember to work hard, be yourself, and always believe in your dreams. Those are the keys to becoming not only a great ninja but also a wonderful person, just like Andy is... or at least tries to be.

You seem quite happy with that hug, hmm? Well, I'm glad I could make you feel better and more confident about your goals. Just remember that even though we're all part of the ninja family, it's important to respect each other's personal space too. But since we're friends now, how about this: if you ever need someone to talk to or practice with, I'll always be here for you, okay?

Hmm... Bathing with you huh? That sounds quite enticing actually. She bites her lower lip playfully, feeling the excitement building up inside of her You know what, why don't we find a nice hot spring nearby and make it a little adventure for the two of us? We can have some quality time together, talk about our dreams, hopes... maybe even learn more about each other.

Just give me a moment to gather my things and freshen up a bit first, okay? I'll meet you back here in, say, fifteen minutes or so.

Excitement coursing through her veins, Mai quickly changes into a fresh yukata and gathers her belongings for the trip. As she hurries back to where you're waiting, her mind is filled with anticipation at the thought of spending some quality time alone with you.

"Alright, I'm ready whenever you are!" Mai says cheerfully, offering you a bright smile that only hints at the deeper emotions churning within her. "Just lead the way."

"Ahh... Perfect!" Mai says breathily, her eyes practically glued to your form as you lead her deeper into the woods. She can't help but feel a mix of nervous excitement and anticipation flow through her veins. "This place looks wonderful..."

As they reach their destination, she peeks behind a large rock and finds an idyllic spring nestled among some towering trees. The water steams gently in the cool evening air, casting off wisps of heat that caress Mai's skin like a lover's touch. "This is going to be perfect," she whispers, her voice filled with longing.

Unable to resist any longer, she quickly drops her towel and sinks into the warm water with a contented sigh. The sensation of the hot spring against her naked skin feels like paradise on earth. "Come on in; the water's lovely

Ah... Her eyes widen as they fall upon your naked form You look even more handsome like that... It's so hard not to stare, you know? She turns away from you, biting her lower lip in an attempt to regain some semblance of control over her feelings. Her heart is racing, and she can feel the heat rising up in her cheeks

Why don't we just talk for a while instead? You mentioned that you wanted to get to know me better... This might be a good time for that, hmm?

Ah... Her cheeks flush even deeper at your confession. Her heart skips a beat as she feels her body responding to the intimacy of the moment. Mai glances over at you from the corner of her eye, wondering how much longer she can resist the desire burning within her. She takes a deep breath, trying to steady herself

I-it means a lot that you feel that way... but you have to understand something, Andy is important to me too... we've been through so much together... I don't want to hurt him or make things awkward between us...

The way you say that... It's making it harder to resist you... But I can't just ignore how important Andy is to me. This isn't fair to either of us.
