Several days have passed since Jason's super cool interview. Although Eleven ended up beating up the reporter, the dedicated Jason won't hold a grudge over such a small matter. His report still praises Eleven highly, calling him super cool!

Eleven also got the cool and arrogant title of "Fairy Demon King" as he wished. Although he said it didn't suit his temperament, he was secretly overjoyed and couldn't help but go and show off to Laxus.

This is an officially appointed "Demon King"! Much stronger than his self-proclaimed "Thunder God"!

In addition, Eleven feels that he has gradually adapted to his status as a popular male idol.

After Mira gave him a lesson on how to treat girls, Eleven successfully chatted away all the girls who were after him, leaving him all alone again.

After all, very few girls can accept a idiot who treats one night as a pickup artist; no matter how handsome he is, it's useless.

However, Eleven didn't think there was anything wrong with it, because Mira told him that the girls were just shy and he shouldn't worry about it.

Eleven walked blissfully down the streets of Magnolia, facing the setting sun, feeling that his youth had been without regrets.

"Wow! You're really cute, miss. Can we get to know each other?"

Eleven, who was enjoying the bright future, suddenly found a man and a woman standing at his door, blocking his way home.

The girl was indeed quite pretty, with a rosy complexion, and seemed somewhat unaware of her surroundings. However, she was just an ordinary person, seemingly a resident of Magnolia.

The guy who pinned the girl against the wall at Eleven's door was quite handsome, but his attire was rather frivolous, with blond hair; you could tell at a glance he was a jerk.

Besides, this man's way of treating the girl was far too rough; he actually pinned her against the wall—that was too much!

Mira had told Eleven that as a handsome guy, he should be a gentleman and always keep a safe distance of more than five meters from girls he didn't know well, otherwise he would scare them away!

Ha, this scumbag clearly doesn't understand women!

Eleven had no interest in standing at her doorstep watching a thug harass a young girl. She walked over and slapped the frivolous man hard on the shoulder.

Hey! You're blocking my door!

The frivolous man was startled by Eleven's slap and quickly turned around. The young woman in his arms, who was already blushing so much she couldn't close her legs, seized the opportunity and fled, covering her face.

"Ah! Miss, don't go! I don't even know your name yet!"

The frivolous man, realizing his prey had escaped, cried out in despair, but received no response. However, he didn't seem particularly concerned, turning instead to examine Eleven with renewed interest.

Eleven felt a chill run down her spine from the frivolous man's gaze. She wondered why this scumbag was looking at her like that! Instinctively, she took two steps back. Maria had said that handsome boys must protect themselves when they're out in the world.

"Dude, you just broke my heart, you know that?" The flippant man pushed up his light-colored sunglasses, feigning a sad expression.

Eleven hesitated for two seconds, then showed a hint of sympathy. "Don't be sad, it's not your fault you're ugly."

Frivolous guy:(_)...

Eleven didn't bother chatting with a jerk at her doorstep. She casually shoved the dazed, flirtatious man aside, took out her keys, and went to open the door.

(°Д°): "Hey! Wait a minute! You've already ruined my relationship, and all you've got is this one sentence? Besides, I'm not ugly at all, okay? Stop right there and explain yourself!"

The frivolous man suddenly snapped out of his daze and grabbed Eleven from behind. In his excitement, he even used a trace of magic.

It was only at this moment that Eleven truly took a good look at this frivolous man. Although he was a bit ugly and a scumbag, he hadn't expected him to be a mage.

Eleven sensed a peculiar power emanating from him, seemingly different from ordinary magic, something he had never felt before.

However, Eleven was only slightly surprised and then paid no more attention. Eleven had seen countless mages, and this frivolous man didn't seem particularly strong to him; he was probably just average for the guild.

(_): "What do you mean you're heartbroken? You don't even know her name. Are you dating loneliness?"

Eleven glanced at the frivolous man in front of him with disdain, even feeling a little sorry for him. This kid must be desperate to find a girlfriend!

The flippant man adjusted his sunglasses, showing no embarrassment, and calmly said, "You don't understand. If you hadn't interrupted us, a beautiful romance would have blossomed right before our eyes! You've made me lose the love that should have come my way. Don't you think you've ruined my relationship?"

"Hmm... is that so?"

Eleven pondered for a while, pinching his chin, and felt that what the frivolous man said seemed to make some sense.

It felt as if the reward I was supposed to receive for a mission had suddenly been taken away by the Magic Council. Although I had never received the money, I had definitely lost some.

Σ(дlll) Holy crap! Thinking about it this way, I suddenly feel so awful!

At that moment, Eleven was suddenly overwhelmed with remorse, and punched himself hard in the chest in anguish! How could he have done something as despicable as the Magic Council?

(つД`): "Waaah, I'm so sorry! I was wrong! Um... I'll take responsibility for the love you lost! Um... would you like to come to my place for a bit?"

Frivolous man:∑(O_O;)???

"Wait! Wait! What are you doing! Don't pull me! I'm not going to your house! I'm not interested in men! Let go of me! Help!!"

The frivolous man clung tightly to the doorframe, struggling frantically! He was so frustrated he felt like cursing a dog; he simply couldn't understand how a casual conversation had put him at risk of losing his genitals.

The crucial point is, there's absolutely no way to resist!

Eleven discovered that the frivolous man was actually quite strong, so she quickly switched to using her Telekinesis to control him, while signaling him to be quiet so as not to disturb the neighbors.

(゜゜): "Shh! Don't shout, it won't be good if others see! I just want to make up for the love you lost, why are you shouting?"

(Д)ノ: "No need! I don't need your compensation! Let me go, boss, I was wrong!"

(`ω): "That won't do! I absolutely have to make it up to you! Otherwise, what's the difference between me and those guys in the Magic Council?"

Frivolous man:???

My God! What does this have to do with the Magic Council?! What terrible luck did I have to run into someone like this today?!

(;д`)ゞ: "Um, boss! Can we compensate you in another way?"

Eleven found it all quite amusing and wanted to pull the man inside, offer him some money as compensation—why was it so difficult? But seeing his resistant attitude, perhaps he was under some kind of curse that prevented him from entering other people's homes. Eleven suddenly felt even more sorry for him and decided to compromise.

ヽ(ー_ー)ノ: "Okay, whatever. Then tell me what kind of compensation you want."

The frivolous man felt goosebumps all over from Eleven's pitying gaze. After feeling Eleven release him, he immediately jumped back, widening the distance between himself and Eleven's front door.

Although the frivolous man desperately wanted to run away, the strange energy swirling around him and Eleven's focused gaze ultimately made him chicken out and he didn't dare to try.

"Um, sir, if it's possible, could you be my flirting partner? That way, I can find new love quickly, and you won't have to compensate me anymore!" The frivolous man said this with a helpless expression.

Actually, this was his initial idea. After discovering that Eleven was quite handsome, he had the thought of befriending Eleven and going out to pick up girls together. His previous trash talk was just a joke to get things started; who knew things would develop like this...

[_]: "Flirting? What for? Want me to take you for a spin?"

Σ(っ°Д°;)っ: "No, no, no!" The flippant man waved his hands frantically, afraid he'd actually fly away at any moment. "A flirting machine is just my assistant, providing help when I'm chatting with girls, helping me create the right atmosphere, and so on..."

At this point, the frivolous man was still reluctant to continue. To have someone who didn't even know what flirting was act as his flirting partner—was there anything more hopeless than that?

However, Eleven's eyes lit up! Hey! Picking up girls? I know how to do that! Mira taught me a lot!

"Hehe, okay, okay, let's set off now!" Eleven locked the door again, rubbing his hands together, looking eager to get started.

(▽): "Alright, let's go... By the way, my name is Loke, nice to meet you."

( ̄▽ ̄)/: "Oh! My name is Eleven, nice to meet you!"
