Loke, the Celestial Spirit Leo

Just as Levy about to explode with anger, a large group of beautifully dressed girls, chattering excitedly, poured into the guild, which was still under construction.

"Excuse me, is Loke there?"

Why did he suddenly disappear?

"Yeah! He even left us a message saying he'd found his destiny... What does that even mean?"

They surrounded Mirajane, the guild's mascot, bombarding her with questions, leaving the gentle and patient Mirajane unable to get a word in edgewise.

"Loke?"

Lucy vaguely remembered the name.

After all, as a notorious playboy in the guild, he always deliberately avoided people, making it hard for him not to leave an impression.

"These... must all be Loke's girlfriends," Levy whispered from the side.

Looking at the spectacular sight before her, which could be described as a "girlfriend group," Lucy couldn't help but click her tongue.

She glanced subconsciously at Jiang Bai beside her. "Compared to him, Jiang Bai, you seem so devoted."

"Hey! What do you mean by 'appears'?"

Jiang Bai immediately became unhappy.

"I've always been very loyal, okay!"

Over there, Mirajane, surrounded by enemies, could only laugh awkwardly, "Um... ladies, you're asking me, but I don't know where Loke went either."

The girls didn't get an answer, but their attention was drawn to Mirajane.

"Speaking of which, Miss Mira, you are really beautiful."

"Yes, yes, she has a great figure and such a gentle personality."

"Wait a minute... the chosen one Loke mentioned, could it be you?"

Upon hearing this, Jiang Bai could no longer remain seated.

In a flash, he appeared beside Mirajane, stretched out his arm, and forcefully pulled her into his embrace.

He addressed the group of girls, declaring his sovereignty in an unquestionable and earnest tone:

Mira is mine!

Mirajane also cooperated by gently resting her head on Jiang Bai's broad chest, a happy smile on her face.

After showing off their affection, Jiang Bai turned to the group of dumbfounded girls and kindly offered a "clue".

"Ladies, Loke? I know where he is. He seems to be in the park on the east side of town, on a date with a girl."

He paused, then added,

"You should hurry and go look for him; maybe he's still there."

"What?!"

"They found someone new again?!"

"I knew he'd been so distracted lately!"

This news instantly ignited the "girlfriend group".

They disregarded everything else and rushed off toward the east of the city, creating a fragrant breeze.

The world is finally quiet.

Is Loke really there?

Mirajane leaned against Jiang Bai and asked curiously.

How would I know?

Jiang Bai shrugged and said matter-of-factly,

"I just pointed in a random direction so they could have something to do. It's too noisy."

After saying that, he released Mirajane and turned to look at Lucy.

"Lucy, I have a task for you. Go find Loke. He should be... right now."

Jiang Bai had always known about Loke.

He didn't want to get involved, but since things had already progressed to this point, leaving it to Lucy, who was also Celestial Spirit Mage, to handle was undoubtedly the best choice, and it would also strengthen the bond between Lucy and the Celestial Spirits.

The next day, under the watchful eyes of everyone in the guild, Lucy returned to the guild with a relieved Loke.

Loke stood before the crowd, bowed deeply, and revealed his identity.

"Celestial Spirit?!"

The guild members gasped in disbelief.

"That's right!"

Lucy, hands on her hips, announced with a proud expression,

"Loke is Leo, Leo Leo Celestial Spirit! He's the strongest Celestial Spirit among the Zodiac!"

"I'm sorry, everyone,"

Loke looked up, his face filled with apology.

"We've kept this from everyone for so long."

Lucy was in a great mood. Not only had she resolved a crisis for one of her companions, but she had also gained a golden key to the Zodiac for free—double the happiness!

She suddenly remembered something and looked at Jiang Bai: "Speaking of which, Jiang Bai, you told me to go find Loke from the beginning, didn't you already know that?"

"Yes, I already knew that."

Jiang Bai readily admitted,

"But I figured Loke didn't want others to know, and I'm not that big of a mouth, so I didn't say anything."

"Loke, so what are you planning to do now?" Gray asked.

"Are you going to leave Fairy Tail?"

"No!"

Loke's answer was resolute.

"I will always be Fairy Tail mage! That will not change because of my change of identity!"

He paused, then added, "However, because I'm Celestial Spirit, I can't stay in the human world for too long. In the future, I might not be able to stay in the guild all the time like before."

The first few sentences were quite serious, but the next second, he turned back into the familiar playboy.

Loke turned around with a flourish and winked at Lucy: "And now, I belong to Lucy."

"Whenever Lucy is in danger, I will transform into a prince on a white horse and come to rescue my princess immediately."

"Well, this is fine too."

Jiang Bai leaned against the pillar and said to Lucy,

"Lucy, keep a close eye on your lion from now on, and don't let him go out and ruin those innocent girls again."

Don't worry! I've got your back!

Lucy gave a thumbs-up and made a firm promise.

Loke! Come back when you have time!

Natsu is already fired up.

"I haven't fought the strongest Celestial Spirit yet!"

"Don't keep us waiting, you bastard," Gray said, unusually.

Seeing everyone's continued acceptance and care, Loke's eyes welled up with tears.

That's why, no matter what, I can't bear to leave this home.

"Oh, by the way, this is for you."

As if remembering something, Loke pulled out several high-end-looking tickets from his pocket and handed them to Jiang Bai and the others.

"What's this?" Natsu asked curiously, taking it.

"This is a voucher for the most luxurious resort hotel in the Kingdom of Fiore,"

Loke scratched his head somewhat embarrassedly.

"I was originally planning to... well, you know what I mean. But I don't have a chance to go now, so I'll just give it to you as a thank-you gift."

"Oh oh!!"

Natsu's eyes lit up as he looked at the opulent hotel picture on the invitation.

"I've never stayed in such a luxurious place before!"

"Hey! We don't have any either!" Happy shouted excitedly.

Jiang Bai held the tickets in his hand, glanced at Loke, and couldn't help but think to himself, "This guy actually planned to bring so many girlfriends with him. Is his body even capable of handling it?"

Immediately, he thought of himself again.

When will I be able to experience the joy of sleeping together in the same bed with Mira and Erza?

It's alright, Jiang Bai confident.

That day is definitely not far off.
