"It doesn't matter anyways. I live next door to Kana. By the way, let me properly introduce myself and the shrine maiden. I am Ryu and this is Kana. Consider her to be sort of like my girlfriend but it is rather an open relationship." Mai frowns a tad at this declaration. What's an open reletionship, to use this man's words? She then recalls that the man had deemed himself a pervert during his prior introduction. Oh, that's what it means. And Kana's okay with that? But it's none of Mai's business, so she doesn't press the issue.
"So who are you two? You understand that the apprenticeship isn't a piece of cake. For shaman you will need to lift a lot, workout, meditate and practice spells. Shrine maidens have to practice archery and spells most of the time."
Mai nods toward Ryu impassively. "I am Mai, Mai Tukiko. Believe me, I have been training my entire life to join one of those," she nods toward the three higher heroes, "but decided against pursuing their apprenticeships for, ah, personal reasons. My prents do not approve of the path I have chosen to take, but it matters not to me." She silently hopes that none of the others will press the issue lest she enlist herself on a well-rehearsed rant.
