Eugenia was the main character of the original work, but it was not until much later that she truly established herself as the heroine.
Eugene and she were childhood friends since they were very young. While they entered the academy together, their relationship, although close, never involved romantic feelings.
Although Eugene made friends with Patricia and Claudia after entering the academy, Eugenia always stayed by his side as his closest friend.
But after Eugene joined the student council, trials came to her as well.
As if the other two weren't enough, he also became close with Iris there, so he was able to spend relatively less time on Eugenia.
Eugenia, who had an introverted personality, was unable to make any other friends, so she later experienced extreme loneliness and a sense of anxiety for some reason.
In that state, she gradually realized her feelings for him through several additional events, and eventually confessed her feelings at the ball at the end of the second semester, which was the original story that I remember.
But right now, Eugene hasn't joined the student council yet, and events are progressing much faster.
"…There's one thing I want to ask."
"Oh, oh? Sure! What are you curious about? You can ask me anything! What is it? What is it?"
As soon as I spoke, Eugenia's face lit up with excitement. Despite saying that, she seemed disappointed that our conversation was about to end.
The fact that she kept glancing at me and checking my reaction while we were talking…
"The people your friend says he's been close to lately. Do you happen to know who they are?"
"What…? I thought you were going to ask something else… No, it's okay. I'll tell you…"
Eugenia showed a disappointed expression for a moment, but then changed her mind and answered my question very sincerely.
"Definitely Patricia, a senior in the second year, and Claudia in the first year Class-A, Iris in the same Class-A, and… was it Leta from Class-B…?"
"Wait a minute, Leta?"
"Yeah…I guess she was the daughter of a merchant…I think so…"
The name of a completely unexpected person suddenly came out of Eugenia's mouth. As if she didn't see my surprised expression, Eugenia continued her story.
"…They all look pretty and elegant… they all come from good families… But still… isn't it too much? Until now, I thought I was the closest to him…"
Eugenia, once she started speaking, began pouring out her grievances and frustrations one after another.
'Phew…'
When I first heard her speak, I had a vague idea that my actions might have led to this turn of events. If Iris and I hadn't had that conversation in the courtyard, they might not have met so quickly.
According to the principal, Eugene was being taught etiquette by Iris, so naturally, the amount of time he has available for Eugenia will inevitably decrease; the remaining time would be spent with Patricia or Claudia, as usual.
That was my guess, but now, Leta here…
In the original, Leta, being the daughter of a prominent figure, was a sub-heroine and served as a treasure goblin-like character. Though she didn't have much screen time, the information and items she provided were always of great help to the main characters.
But he already met Leta too. The heroine he was supposed to meet in the second year…
So maybe he won't just have less time with Eugenia, but no time at all.
It seems that the changes in my actions are now distorting the future in unseen ways.
As I was silently lost in thought with a serious expression on my face, Eugenia saw that and stopped talking.
And then she slumped her shoulders again with an insecure expression.
.....Although she originally had an introverted personality, was she really this depressed? It's true that she only had Eugene as a friend all this time, and if they were so close and suddenly separated, it makes sense.
Suddenly, I have such a thought. Maybe it was a huge challenge for her to talk to me.
She would never have thought of that in the past, but given the situation and the fact that we are both spirit mages, maybe she just found the courage to do it.
But then she was rejected outright, so…
'What should I do..'
Due to the amplification that occurs in the assimilation with spirits, spirit mages are inevitably forced to live with emotional ups and downs.
And because of that trait, they absolutely need to have someone around them who they can trust and rely on; that was the reason why, when her principal helped her, she always focused on teaching her how to maintain peace of mind.
In the original work, the loneliness incident occurred a long time later, and by that time, she was somewhat proficient in controlling her emotions and such a large-scale resonance did not occur.
At most, there was only a description of a few spirits turning pale in response to her sad and depressed emotions.
And in the original work, she only went berserk twice: when she first encountered a demon during an external training session, and later when the war with the demons reached its climax.
However, right now, she was not yet used to the new environment, she had also been separated from Eugene, who she was close to, and she was still amateur in controlling her emotions, so I think this situation happened because of all these factors.
I don't know what will happen in the future, but right now there was no one around her that she could rely on.
But that doesn't mean I can tell him to take care of his friend…
"I have one more question. How many spirits can you control at most right now? You don't have to answer if you don't want to. It can be a sensitive question…"
"It's okay… what's the point of that...…..Right now, I only have this one. Isn't it cute…? Hehe…"
Eugenia smiled weakly and pointed her finger at the fluffy ball that popped up above her head.
One…too few. Too few.
Considering the flow of the story, she should be controlling at least three or four spirits by now to be at a decent level.
It was also having such a negative impact on her growth…
As my silence grew, Eugenia spoke again in a lifeless voice, "…Anyway, that's all I have to say. Thank you for listening…It's disappointing, but I have to keep my promise, so like I said before, I will never approach you again…"
"Wait a minute."
"…Why? Do you still have something you want to ask…"
"I do."
"What…?"
"Let's be friends."
Eugenia's eyes widened as if she had heard an unbelievable lie.

This was something I thought about last time too, but despite all my efforts and determination, the flow I already knew was clearly distorted.
The same goes for the idea of staying out of the way of the original characters and ensuring my own safety.
Right now, I have someone standing in front of me who I shouldn't have gotten involved with.
Anyway, with Walter's matter, it was already clear that not everything would go as I wanted.
However, shouldn't I at least avoid being dragged along by the circumstances? Even if the flow is distorted, growth must occur properly.
Just for Eugenia, there is an event during her vacation where she has to exorcize a corrupted spirit and grow, but if her basic abilities are not supported, it will be close to impossible.
Spirit mages can use spirit magic to fight even in places with no mana in the atmosphere, and later on, there will be enemies that can only be fought with spirits, so her growth was a process that I couldn't miss.
But it's not like I have to help out with anything particularly huge. She has already awakened her ability to handle spirits, so I just need to help her control her emotional ups and downs.
As long as another outburst like before doesn't happen.
"Really? For real? For real, for real?"
Eugenia seemed dazed for a moment, then she snapped out of it and bombarded me with words.
"Yes. Instead, there is a condition. Listen to it and then decide…"
"What is it? Just tell me! I'll listen to everything! Oh, I won't involve you in something where I'm being dragged along…"
"No, no! That's not it!"
I hurriedly cut off Eugenia's words as she blurted them out. One Ellie was already too much, and it's nonsense to add more people here.
And if that guy finds out that I did that to his friend…I really don't want to imagine the commotion that will happen after that.
"To begin with, we are in different classes. We can't hang out together."
"Oh, that's right…Then what are the conditions…?"
Eugenia looked a little disappointed, but eventually nodded in agreement and asked me back. And I explained my condition to her.
"First, you can't pretend to know me even if you see me inside the academy. And you can't reveal our relationship to anyone, especially your friend. Instead, after the class schedule is over, we'll meet for about 3-4 days a week, on nights like tonight. The location will be here."
When I told her not to pretend to know anything at the academy, her face was filled with regret. Yet, as my words unfolded further, a shift occurred, and her demeanor softened.
"Heh… Friends…" she chuckled, her voice carrying a note of acceptance. With a gentle bounce, the verdant tuft of fur atop her head swayed in harmony with her mood, a whimsical dance of reflection.
In that moment, as I beheld her, echoes of the day I reclaimed my memories stirred within me, intertwining with the present.
I knew it would end up like this eventually.
Today, the events of that inaugural day weighed heavier upon my heart, their memory imbued with newfound poignancy.
