	Basically Bou-san is calling Mai “little miss/lady”. Sometimes when addressing a daughter of a respectable family ‘ojou-chan’ is used as well. Putting the ‘o’ before ‘jou-chan’ makes it more polite/formal, the usage of the latter tending to show a more familiar/casual relationship, but Bou-san frequently interchanges between ‘Ojou-chan’ and ‘Jou-chan’ throughout the novel when addressing Mai.

			===Onee-chan===

			‘Onee-chan’ basically means ‘older sister’ in Japanese, although Noriko is in reality Ayumi’s aunt by virtue of being Ayumi’s father’s sister, Ayumi refers to her as older sister. Noriko is described to be about twenty years old, which is considered still young, and hence probably the reason why Ayumi doesn’t call her ‘oba-chan’ which means ‘Aunty’ as usually oba-chan is used on ladies who are about 40 years old or older.
