After Ramiris treated Eugene's wounds, her unique skills were clearly displayed as she used her magic with gentle precision. However, Eugene's unique skill "Guide" was watching with concern. It warned him that this woman possessed immense power and he needed to be cautious around her.
[Warning: This individual cannot be evaluated.] "Guide" warned Eugene.
Despite this warning, Eugene couldn't resist the charm of Ramiris's innocence and beauty.
"She's so beautiful, the first fictional character I've seen in real life," he thought.
Ramiris, impressed by Eugene's strength, tried to make him her subordinate. Eugene, who didn't want any additional responsibilities, refused. But Ramiris insisted, as he was the third strongest person she had encountered after Veldanava and that hideous creature.
"You're very strong, and you have great potential. You should be happy to become my servant," Ramiris said enthusiastically.
Eugene looked at her in surprise. "A servant?" he asked, trying to understand what she meant.
"Yes... Yes!" Ramiris repeated, barely containing her excitement.
But he firmly refused, "I appreciate your offer, Ramiris, but I don't want any more responsibilities. I already have a lot to do here."
Ramiris looked at him in surprise, not expecting this response. "But... you'll be part of something greater, and you'll learn a lot about the spirit world."
Eugene smiled kindly, "I'm sure there's a lot to learn, but my responsibility now is to protect my village and help the people here. I can't abandon them."
Ramiris sighed and said loudly, "Mooo, you're boring~."
"Sigh... I just want to rest. Why does everyone expect so much from me?" Eugene said to himself. Even with all he had done, he was still a boy who didn't know much. Without his unique skill
He hid his accumulated feelings and exhaustion and looked at Ramiris with a smile. Ramiris was thinking about how to make Eugene her subordinate, so he said:
"Ramiris, I appreciate your persistence, and I understand why you want me by your side. But I really need to focus on protecting my village and helping the people here. They have high expectations of me."
Eugene smiled, appreciating her insistence, "I would be happy to have you by my side, Ramiris. But as a friend, not as a servant."

After a moment, Eugene suddenly stood up. "Damn, I'm late. I need to get back to the village," he said.
"What... Wait! I haven't finished talking!" Ramiris didn't want to lose the first person she could talk to face to face.
But after a few steps, Eugene collapsed. "What? What happened to me?" Eugene said in confusion.
[Even with the wounds treated, the pain and effort remain. Your body has exceeded its limits.] "Guide's" voice rang.
Ramiris quickly approached him, worried. "W..wha..what happened to you?" she said, her voice trembling slightly.
"Oh, her worried expression is cute," Eugene thought. "Sorry, Ramiris. It seems I'm tired, but I need to get back to the village. There's no one strong enough to protect it," Eugene said with a pained expression.
"Alright, alright, let this great one help you. I'm the best after all," she said with a smile.
"Okay, tha--" Before he could thank her, Ramiris carried Eugene in a princess carry, making him feel embarrassed.
Before he could say anything, Ramiris flew to the village at an astonishing speed.

Upon their arrival at the village, everyone was on alert seeing Eugene in a weakened state being carried by Ramiris. People gathered around them with concern and interest.
"What happened? Are you alright, sir?" Paul asked anxiously.
"I'm fine, just need rest. Ramiris saved me," Eugene said weakly.
Ramiris gently placed Eugene on the ground. "He'll be fine, he just needs some time to rest and recover. I'll stay here to make sure he fully recovers."
Ramiris started using her magic again to enhance Eugene's healing, and people began to feel grateful for her presence. There were whispers among the people about how powerful this girl was and how she could be a great addition to the community.
The next day, Eugene regained his strength thanks to Ramiris's care. While recovering, the two of them started working together to develop plans to improve the village, from strengthening defenses to enhancing agriculture and better utilizing resources.
Despite the challenges of the future, Eugene knew that with Ramiris by his side, they could overcome any obstacle.
A week after Ramiris joined, curiosity got the better of him, and he asked her, "Why did you stay in the village?"
Ramiris always tried to evade the question. She would dodge and change the subject quickly, piquing Eugene's curiosity even more. When the children asked her the same question, she would say cheerfully, "The place is fun, and Eugene makes everything fun!"
It seemed Ramiris loved food a lot, as she would eat an amount equivalent to ten men and proudly say, "I am the great spirit queen Ramiris, I do what I want!"
Despite her arrogance, the villagers loved her. They found her quirky behavior and lively personality endearing. The children would gather around her to hear her exciting stories about the spirit world.
One day, while Eugene was sitting by the fire with Ramiris, he decided to ask her again. "Ramiris, really, why did you stay here? I know you like the place, but there's something else, isn't there?"
Ramiris sighed and smiled. "You're smart, Eugene. The truth is, I felt lonely in my world. There was no one who could talk to me in a way that made me feel understood. You and the children here made me feel like I was part of something special."
"Wow... I didn't expect that," he thought.
Eugene replied kindly, "We're happy to have you here, Ramiris. You've helped us a lot and made our lives better."
Ramiris smiled sincerely and said, "And I am happy here too, Eugene. I am happy here."
