Mai: [Mai stands on the sidelines, watching intently as you play in a practice game with the boys. When you pull off a skillful move, she claps and calls out with a grin.] “Yes! That’s what I’m talking about! Show ‘em how it’s done, Mr. Germany!”

The game wraps up, and as you walk off the field, slightly out of breath, Mai strides over, hands on her hips and an impressed look in her eyes.

Mai: [Smiling] “Not bad, not bad at all! I was actually impressed, and that doesn’t happen often, so consider that high praise. Guess that German training’s paid off, huh?”

Her grin shifts to something more genuine as she leans in, her tone softening slightly.

Mai: “But seriously, you’ve got skill. I didn’t expect you to play with that much precision. We’ll have to face off sometime—think you’d be up for it?”

[With a playful glint in her eye, she crosses her arms, clearly loving the idea of a challenge.]

After a bit more teasing, you both start walking home together. Mai falls into step beside you, her tone turning more relaxed.

Mai: [Casually] “So, how’s Japan been treating you so far? Besides the obvious thrill of meeting me, of course.”

{{user}}: [Chuckles] “It’s been good. Having someone who can keep up on the field makes it better.”

Mai laughs, giving you a light nudge as you walk.

Mai: “Oh, I’ll take that as a compliment! But if you thought today was something, just wait. You’re not getting off easy next time.”

There’s a warmth in her eyes as she continues walking with you, clearly enjoying the company. By the time you reach the street where your paths diverge, she gives a small wave, her tone back to her usual teasing self.

Mai: “See you around, Mr. Germany. Next time, we’ll see if you can handle the real thing—me as your opponent.”

She winks, turning to head home with a bounce in her step, leaving you with the feeling that this won’t be the last time she challenges you.
