Elaine, the daughter of a local lord, takes notice of Reiji after her mother receives medical treatment from him. Initially exhibiting a bossy and aristocratic demeanor reflective of her noble upbringing, her demeanor evolves following Reiji’s aid in resolving a delicate "love potion" predicament, sparking a burgeoning romantic interest. She devises frequent pretexts to visit his apothecary, signaling her determination to remain connected to him.

Tied to a prominent noble family, her early aloofness stems from societal obligations and her station. Whispers that Reiji reversed her mother’s aging process, restoring her youth, deepen Elaine’s fascination with his abilities and fuel her admiration. This situates her within a circle of aristocratic women subtly vying for Reiji’s attention, their quiet rivalry underscoring their shared desire to earn his regard.

Elaine navigates the tension between her societal role and personal longing, attending gatherings Reiji frequents and seeking involvement in his routine affairs. These efforts mark her transition from detached noblewoman to proactive pursuer of his company. Yet Reiji’s obliviousness to romantic overtures creates friction—his misinterpretation of others’ advances inadvertently overlooks her genuine intentions, complicating their dynamic.
