I really hope that if this ever has romance it's between our MC and the girl from his past life rather than the elf maid. The girl from the past life is actively trying to help him overcome and be better than when he suffered while the elf girl doesn't care beyond pushing him because she wants him to be better.
kid's smart, managed to gauge a bit of Latifa's power but not enough to cause him concern, i feel at this stage. latifa is stronger than Fai due to age gap now,
