If one would ask him, his inclination would lean towards spending every moment with Shirley.
Regrettably, the current circumstances didn't permit it, as he found himself encumbered by the demands of the system's mandatory quest.
He could opt to not strive to complete the mandatory quests, however, the repercussions would be far too severe should he do so.

Second, all the benefits he obtained from the system would cease to exist and he would revert to being an average adventurer. One who would probably not be able to keep the affection of an excellent and driven young woman like Shirley.
Third, he would be betraying his benefactor's expectations.
