Jason tracked Gina and Farlow through the spirit-haunted forest, evading fearful spirits and reaching the devastated battle site where Farlow had tidied the wreckage. He found Farlow by the lake with Gina unconscious before a cave, learned of her Spirit Arts breakthrough, and sent Farlow off to reunite with his wife's spirit. Jason awaited Gina's awakening, shared a passionate reunion, and spotted her fairy spirit partner Ulyn—who instantly blushed and declared him handsome upon sight.

’Oh my goodness, he’s so handsome! Why didn’t you tell me you knew someone this handsome!? You said he was your fiancé!? How did a barbarian like you meet someone like him!? Handsome men aren’t meant to be with barbarians! They are meant to be with princesses like me!’

Shock surged through Gina's frame as the truth started dawning on her, and she nearly voiced something to Ulyn when Jason stepped nearer for a closer glimpse of the fairy, questioning Gina about their chat because he caught none of their words! Yet the moment Jason approached, Ulyn emitted a girlish squeal while her cheeks blazed an even fiercer crimson, diving swiftly into Gina’s locks to conceal herself! Gina erupted into laughter right away upon comprehending the scene! Ulyn genuinely nursed a crush on Jason! Gina found it unbelievable! Despite Ulyn's prior harshness and brutality toward her, Jason's captivating visage alone revealed Ulyn's charming side! Jason lifted an eyebrow at Gina's unexpected mirth and inquired what tickled her so. A grin lit Gina's face as she responded.

"You’re not going to believe this, babe. My fairy actually has a crush on you – ow! Don’t pull my hair, you bitch!"

Gina swiveled her head aside and yelled at Ulyn, who yelled back from the depths of her hair!

’Don’t tell him I have a crush on him, you barbarian! It’s embarrassing!’

’I’ll tell him whatever I want! He’s my fiancé!’

’Hah! So what if he’s your fiancé! You two aren’t married yet, and that means I still have a chance with him! Just you wait! I’m way cuter than you, so I’ll make him fall for me in no time!’

Gina let out a loud scoff as she retorted!

’You couldn’t even look him in the eye, and you want to steal him from me? How about you practice talking to him without running away first!’

An intense flush burned across Ulyn's face from Gina's words, and she fired back in mortified fury!

’T-That was just because I was seeing him for the first time! I was just o-overwhelmed! Yes, I was just overwhelmed! I’ll talk to him properly next time! You’ll see!’

Gina rolled her eyes at Ulyn’s fake courage, while Jason observed the whole exchange with a faint smile playing on his lips, pondering if this mirrored how he appeared chatting with Esdeath or his other subordinates mentally. Any ordinary onlooker would surely deem Gina deranged! Fortunately, Jason transcended the ordinary, grasping the dynamic fully, so he patiently awaited their banter's end before addressing Gina.

"Don’t you two get along? I thought she was meant to help you grow stronger."

Gina let out a weary sigh and shook her head. She struggled to label Ulyn properly. Though destined as Gina’s spirit partner by the Spirit Queen due to their shared vast potential, accepting Ulyn proved tough since the fairy shunned any effort to aid Gina! With a slight scowl, Gina explained!

"Yes, she’s my spirit partner. The Spirit Queen put us together since she believes we both have a lot of potential, but Ulyn’s a real piece of work. I’ve been trying to get close to her all this time, but she just refuses to work with me. She doesn’t even want to help me when we’re fighting – Ow! I told you to stop pulling my hair!"

Gina abruptly hollered at Ulyn after another hair tug, prompting Ulyn to emerge from Gina’s tresses! Pouting with a faint blush, Ulyn spoke words that left Gina nearly speechless!

’Look, I was just angry back then, alright!? I-I wasn’t thinking straight, and I said a lot of things I didn’t mean! I’ll help you if you need me to, so don’t tell him stuff that’ll make me look bad!’

Finishing her say, Ulyn sneaked another glance at Jason, her blush reigniting fiercely upon spotting his gentle smile directed her way! She darted back into Gina’s hair for cover, leaving Gina gaping in stunned disbelief as she absorbed the revelation! Had Ulyn truly consented to collaborate!? It seemed impossibly straightforward! Ulyn pledged aid merely to prevent Gina from badmouthing her to Jason!?

Vindictive glee bubbled up from Gina’s depths, startling Jason who spun toward his fiancée at her villainous cackle reminiscent of a cheap flick antagonist! Arching a puzzled brow, Jason demanded what she was up to, but Gina flushed and dismissed it as nothing! Amused, Jason teased if she'd lost her mind at last, earning a pouty shoulder smack before Gina leaned in for a tender kiss, expressing her gratitude.

"You have to be some sort of good luck charm or something. You’ve only been back for a few minutes, and you’ve already solved all my problems, baby. Thank you."

Clueless about Gina's reference, Jason nonetheless rejoiced in aiding her, nodding serenely. Rising from the ground at last, he assisted Gina to her feet, and together they ventured from the forest. Flight would have sped their exit dramatically, yet neither hurried, savoring every shared moment. Flanking them through the woods strode numerous Legion underlings. Ragnar's massive shadow loomed over Jason and Gina from above, while Fenrir's pack dashed wildly amid the trees, his howl echoing lowly. Unnecessary escorts given Jason's immunity to forest spirits' threats, but he permitted their outing to relish the woods too.

Clinging to Jason’s arm with beaming delight, Gina eventually leaped onto his back mid-journey, piggybacking as he pressed on. Hours passed in their forest departure, unmolested by aggressive spirits or beasts—Jason's aura alone warded them off! Now a TITAN Rank III, mere breaths from PRIMORDICAL ascension, Jason restrained his might to spare bystanders, yet local spirits detected his colossal power and wisely steered clear! Their tranquil stroll continued, swapping tales of separation's trials.

Gina recounted her Farlow sessions and bonds with adorable young girls, while Jason shared his Vympiric control drills and power's fresh burdens. He noted Hesbeath’s relentless flirtations too; sensing Gina's instant ire at the name, Jason appreciated her skipping any probes into their interactions. Though drawn to many women, he'd vowed against wounding Gina, thrilled by her faith in his fidelity.
