Loke? Leo?

Rewinding slightly, it was not long after Eleven and his group set off.

In the northern woods of Magnolia, at the door of Porlyusica's little cabin, Wendy's sweet, cloying voice rang out.

"Sister Cana, Loke, I've prepared tea and snacks for you."

Wendy came out of the room with a tray on which were two cups of tea and two plates of cookies. She smiled and handed them to the two people who were sitting by the door because Porlyusica had forbidden them from entering.

"Oh, it's cookies! That's great, thank you so much, Wendy!" Cana was holding a barrel of liquor and happily accepted the tray.

Clearly, she didn't need the tea, but she really liked the cookies. They were perfect for snacking on since her teeth were itching from drinking.

"I'm so sorry, Sister Cana. I was going to make you some snacks to go with your drinks, but I forgot to buy any groceries, so I'll have to use cookies instead."

Wendy felt a little apologetic watching Cana gulp down her beer while crunching on cookies; she really didn't think cookies and beer were a good combination.

"It's okay, it's okay, it tastes good just like this. Wendy, would you like to try some?"

Cana didn't care at all and ate happily. She even brought the barrel of wine to Wendy, wanting her to try it too. Wendy was so scared that she shut her mouth tightly and waved her little hands vigorously in refusal.

Since becoming an adult, Cana has been drinking more and more recklessly, almost always carrying a large barrel of liquor and chugging it down. Even Makarov can no longer outdrink her.

Her favorite long dresses are gone now; she spends all her time in a bikini around the guild. The reason? Because long dresses get dirty easily when she drinks, and they're hard to wash.

Although Eleven tried to teach Cana a lesson at first, Cana wasn't afraid of Eleven at all, so it was completely ineffective.

Unlike Mira and Erza, who were raised by Eleven, Cana suffered far less abuse. In fact, the young Eleven was often disciplined by Cana.

This made Cana the only one among the younger generation, besides Laxus, who was not afraid of Eleven's tyranny, giving her a very superior status.

However, Cana was later dealt with by Erza. Eleven, who was tattling on her, was somewhat impressed, thinking how amazing the natural law of one thing subduing another truly is!

It's only because Erza isn't around that Cana dares to drink so recklessly, and even dares to instigate Wendy. If Erza finds out, she'll definitely get another beating.

Erza, the Spartan instructor, would show absolutely no mercy, even to girls.

To avoid being fed more drinks by the drunken Cana, Wendy quickly grabbed the remaining tea and biscuits and ran to Loke's side.

"Loke, here's some tea and biscuits for you."

"Oh! Thank you, lovely Wendy." Loke looked up and smiled gently at Wendy.

Compared to Cana, Loke's demeanor is much more normal; he's simply quietly reading a book. However... ahem!

Wendy didn't even dare to look at the book cover; she was so embarrassed by just a glance that she blushed furiously.

What is all this?! That... that older sister has such big breasts!

Oh!! How embarrassing! What am I thinking!

ヽ(#`Д′): "Wow! What are you doing? Don't read that kind of book in front of Wendy, you pervert!!"

Just then, a little white cat rushed out of the room and threw the "Victoria's Little Secret" magazine from Loke's hand into the pond.

"Ah! My magazine!" Loke was heartbroken; he had just bought it and hadn't even finished reading it yet.

Carla rolled her eyes at Loke, who was lying by the pond looking grief-stricken, and then looked at Cana, who was still chugging down wine from the barrel. She was so angry that her fur stood on end.

"You two, are you really here to protect Wendy? Be serious, will you?!" Carla roared loudly, like a little tigress.

Since Wendy was once a target of the Oración Seis, and this disturbance is closely related to the Oración Seis, Makarov and Eleven are naturally worried about Wendy's safety.

Therefore, after Eleven and the others set off, just to be on the safe side, Makarov instructed the formidable Cana and Loke to act as Wendy's bodyguards.

However, neither of these bodyguards seemed very reliable; one was an alcoholic, and the other was a womanizer, which infuriated Carla.

Carla's roar startled both Cana and Loke; neither of them had ever seen a kitten make such a loud noise before.

In order not to upset Carla too much, Cana and Loke both chose to restrain themselves a bit, even though drinking and reading erotic books wouldn't affect their fighting ability.

Seeing Cana put down the wine barrel and sit up straight, Carla nodded in satisfaction. She turned to look at Loke and found that Loke was still standing by the pond staring blankly at the erotic book. Carla felt another surge of anger.

ヽ(#`Д′): "Are you still not done?! Is that book really that important?"

[_]: "Oh? I'm back now, aren't I?"

Loke's voice suddenly came from beside Carla. Turning her head, she was surprised to find that Loke had already returned to the door of the cabin.

Forehead...

But there's still Loke by the pond... yeah, he's still there!

Who is that...?

At that moment, the world fell silent, and everyone's eyes swept back and forth between the two Loke, their faces filled with horror.

Even Loke himself was quite startled; there were actually two people as handsome as him! That was unacceptable!

At this moment, Loke by the pond seemed to suddenly come to his senses, looked at the real Loke with a complicated expression, and opened his mouth as if he wanted to say something, but couldn't say anything.

Suddenly, a rustling sound came from the bushes, startling the group who had been distracted by the real and fake Loke. They quickly looked over and saw a sexy white-haired woman walking gracefully out from behind the trees.

"Oh ho ho ho, how interesting! I never thought I'd find a fallen star in a place like this!" The woman stepped out and her gaze locked onto Loke, her eyes filled with intense possessiveness.

Loke usually enjoyed this kind of gaze from girls, but today he felt a chill run down his spine; the woman's words made his heart clench.

I never expected to encounter such a powerful Celestial Spirit Mage here!

"Who exactly are you?!" Loke's tone was tinged with fear.

"Hehe, I am Angel from the Oración Seis, an angel," Angel said elegantly, twirling the golden key in her hand.

"Oración Seis?!"

Upon hearing this, Cana immediately felt a sense of impending doom, pulled Wendy behind her, pulled out several cards, and prepared for battle.

However, Angel didn't seem to pay attention to Cana's actions. Instead, she waved to the fake Loke who had been standing there in a daze. Then, with a bang, the Loke turned into a cloud of smoke and transformed into two small blue dolls floating in mid-air.

Bilibili

"So it really is Gemini Gemini?" Loke murmured, watching the scene with a somewhat solemn expression.

After recalling Gemini, Angel looked at Loke and licked her lips. "This child has told me everything about you, Leo the Lion, oh no, now it should be Loke, right?"

Cana and Wendy both looked at Loke with some confusion, but after seeing Loke's pained expression, they chose to remain silent. Cana then threw several cards at Angel, intending to take action immediately.

However, the pair of Geminis beside Angel reacted even faster, instantly transforming back into Cana's appearance. They then threw out a stack of cards at an even faster speed than Cana, arriving first and directly knocking Cana away.

"Cana!" This instantly snapped Loke back to reality. Forgetting his pain, he rushed to Cana and blocked Gemini's follow-up attack.

"I am Loke now, a mage of Fairy Tail! Whether you are Celestial Spirit Mage or not, whether you know my past or not, I will not allow you to hurt my comrades."

"Heh, is that so? What a remarkable resolve," Angel, a hint of sarcasm in her smile as she looked at Loke. Then, she slowly pulled out a golden key. "But can you really fight her?"

"Open the door to Aries — Aries!"

"I'm sorry... Leo..."

With a bang, a soft, pink-haired girl appeared in front of Angel, looking at Loke with a sad expression.

Loke's pupils constricted sharply the moment he saw Aries, then his eyes widened in a rage. "Aries... How is this possible? Could you be...?"

"Hahaha, that's right!" Angel laughed arrogantly at this moment. "Leo, I'm the one who killed that stupid woman, who was also your former master!"

At the same time, Makarov, who was dozing off in the guild, suddenly opened his eyes, his face instantly turning terrifyingly gloomy.

"This magic... there's no mistake! Has that bastard come back?"
