Takeshi pushed open the window.
Whoosh!
The next moment, he instantly teleported to the outside of Mirajane's house.
He had already experienced teleportation when transforming into Minato.
This is Blue. Teleportation is just one of its derivative uses. The principle is to compress the spatial distance between his current location and the destination, achieving an effect similar to instantaneous movement.
The advantage of this move is that it doesn't require a technique to pinpoint a location. The disadvantage is that it requires his own vision for precise targeting and takes time to activate, unlike the Flying Thunder God Technique which can be activated instantly, allowing for ever-changing tactics.
...
Mirajane in the house seemed to sense a gaze and looked outside.
Then she saw nothing.
"Strange? How did I seem to see Takeshi?"
Whoosh!
Takeshi instantly teleported back to his own home. Then he deactivated the transformation.
Although there were still many moves he hadn't used, it was getting late, and it wasn't good to disturb others late at night. Moreover, his battle with the Celestial Spirit King had consumed a lot of magic power, and if he continued to consume magic power, he would be very tired.
In fact, all of Satoru's information and intel had been imprinted into his mind the moment he had transformed into him. Even if he didn't use them, he knew what the effects would be.
But to test them accurately, it was best to fight an enemy. Only then could Satoru's true power be seen.

The next day, when Takeshi arrived at the Guild, he saw Cana happily drinking while hugging a barrel.
"Mira, get Cana ten more barrels and put it on my tab."
"Alright." Mirajane responded with a smile.
Knowing Takeshi as she did, she knew that he must have summoned another powerful Heroic Spirit last night.
Cana, however, was startled. "What are you going to do? Is your target my body? Take it! Take it all! Take it away!"
At this moment, she felt very guilty. She had gotten many barrels of alcohol from Takeshi during this time, which made her feel uneasy.
Although her fortune-telling was somewhat useful, such things were hit-or-miss, and she herself didn't really believe in them.
If Takeshi found out one day that she had been fooling him a lot of the time, he wouldn't just kill her, would he?
She couldn't afford these liquor bills, so the only thing she could repay him with was her own body. If it came down to it, she'd just give it to him. Anyway, she wouldn't lose out, and maybe she'd even secure a long-term meal ticket later.
Bang!
"Ouch!"
Takeshi flicked Cana's forehead.
"Are you getting muddled from drinking too much recently?"
He was a man with a girlfriend now and would never make a principled mistake.
"Takeshi." Makarov called Takeshi's name.
Takeshi walked over. "What is it, Master?"
"You handled the Loke matter very well. Thank you for your hard work."
Makarov naturally knew about Loke's situation. Although Loke was a Celestial Spirit, in Makarov's eyes, Loke's identity didn't matter. As long as he joined Fairy Tail, he was his child.
Takeshi, in order to help Loke, actually fought the legendary Celestial Spirit King. This proved that his judgment was not wrong.
"It's nothing. Loke is a Guild companion, it's only right for me to save him."
At this moment, Loke walked over. "Takeshi, thank you for last night. If it weren't for you, I might be dead by now."
Loke was very grateful to Takeshi. That was his most desperate moment, and it was Takeshi who descended from the sky and saved him.
Takeshi waved his hand and said, "We're all Guild companions, no need to be polite. Has your body recovered?"
Loke nodded. "Yes, it's almost fully recovered. I heard from Gray that your good time with Mira was disturbed because of me. To make amends, please accept this."
Loke took out a piece of paper and handed it to Takeshi.
Takeshi took the note and asked, "What is this?"
"This is an invitation ticket for a resort hotel where I originally planned to take my girlfriend, but I can't stay in the human world for long now, so I'll use this as a thank-you gift. You and Mira should have a good time."
Then Loke leaned close to Takeshi's ear and whispered, "It's a double room, you know."
Takeshi secretly gave Loke a thumbs-up, thinking to himself, 'I didn't save you for nothing.'
Takeshi looked at Mirajane. Mirajane was naturally very tempted. She hadn't been to the beach in a long time, especially not with Takeshi.
Mirajane looked at Makarov, who waved his hand. "Go on. Alas, girls grow up and can't be kept at home."
He also really wanted to go to the beach. There were many beautiful girls in swimsuits there. Thinking of this, he wanted to retire again.
Hearing Makarov's words, Mirajane couldn't help but blush.
At this moment, Erza's voice rang out. "You two, what are you dawdling for? Do you want us to leave you behind?"
Takeshi looked up and saw that Erza, Natsu, Lucy, and Gray had all packed and were ready to depart.
Takeshi couldn't help but complain to Loke, "Just how many girlfriends have you had?!"
—
Akane Beach.
The scenery here is pleasant, with beautiful sandy beaches and crystal-clear waters. The climate is very pleasant all year round, making it a famous holiday resort in the Kingdom of Fiore.
"Oh, the sea!"
The sun was just right at this time, and people were coming and going on the beach. Boys were wearing beach shorts, and girls were wearing cute and sexy swimsuits.
Mirajane, Lucy and Erza attracted the attention of almost everyone.
Beautiful women as cute as Lucy were already quite rare, and those like Mirajane and Erza were even more scarce. The appearance of three such beautiful and sexy girls together naturally attracted a lot of attention.
Mirajane spun around in front of Takeshi and asked, "How... how is it? Does it look good?"
Takeshi's eyes were glued to her. "It's really beautiful."
As a former cover model for Weekly Sorcerer, Mirajane's figure was naturally impeccable.
Hearing Takeshi's praise, Mirajane was very happy. Girls, after all, care a lot about their looks and figure.
Then the group started playing on the beach, hitting watermelons, riding jet skis, and playing beach volleyball. They had a blast, with everyone laughing joyfully. Takeshi hadn't enjoyed such pure happiness in a long time.
Happy times always fly by quickly. Before they knew it, the sun had set on the western coastline.
"What a wonderful day." Mirajane said, looking at Takeshi.
Since Lisanna's accident two years ago, she had never been so relaxed. It was Takeshi's appearance that helped her emerge from the shadow of Lisanna's incident, allowing her to laugh like this now.
Takeshi said with a complex gaze, "Yes. I haven't been this happy in a long time either."
Takeshi and Mirajane's gazes met, and both their heartbeats began to quicken, their breathing becoming slightly more rapid.
Mirajane slowly closed her eyes. Takeshi wrapped his arm around Mirajane's slender waist, his hand becoming restless. He leaned in to kiss Mirajane's red lips.
Suddenly—
The door opened, and Natsu and Happy appeared at the doorway, shouting excitedly, "Takeshi! I heard there's an underground casino! Let's go check it out!"
"..."
