He continues to take quests solo, a cursory glance might suggest that he is just another like Mystogan but his bright personality and oozing charisma keep him in everyone's mind if not their tongue.
It has been a few years since that first quest of his, and so many things have changed but yet they remain the same.
Erza has turned into a gruff sword saint, but the soft spot in her heart which she held for Jellal is now what he occupied. Years of comfort, deep hugs and chaste kisses. My intentional trashing of Jellal broke any lingering affection for the boy she once liked. The best way to get to her heart is through her stomach, strawberry cakes is his go to. He hopes that she would fill out her figure like her mother, Irene Belsarion did. Any chance with her is impossible because she is number one, a crazy bitch and number two, she can break him with that magic of hers. A magic which would be his by the end if everything went well according to plan.
Something which did not go according to his plan, is the inevitable disappearance of Lisanna Strauss. At first, he did not care for her but he isn't as blackhearted as he first assumed. She grew to also be his little sister and someone he cared for and his attempts to dissuade Mira to go on the quest was the first and last fight he ever had with her. Lisa was lost to Edolas to his chagrin but he knew that she would be back but his heart still aches that he couldn't tell Mira and Elfman about her survival, something they would presume to be lies to placate their feelings. So he let it fester, but this event also drew Mira closer to him so he wasn't too beat up about it. Mira turned from the she devil to demure barmaid, Gone was her fierce nature, a tigress turned kitten. Of Course he took advantage, he isn't a saint but a sinner. Buxom women they turn into, affection they pour onto me and thus he was living the dream of every cultured red blooded straight man around the world, being crushed under the weight of blossoming buxom witches, vying for his attention and affection.
The last of the girls was Cana, she turned from Shy Girl to Social Beast. The change was not as organic as it might seem. Fueled by alcohol and angst, she turned into a wild girl wearing only a bikini top and pants, leaving just enough to the imagination of men in the guild and out. Cana might seem sexually promiscuous and open but she is still shut in, dating men on and off but her heart was only for him. He seems to have his way with every girl's heart so why should he carry about hers. But, he is as perfect as one can be. He is gentle in manner but she found out, in bed as well. Debauchery at its finest, she vowed that she would be one of his as a man like him wouldn't settle with anyone if he hurt the others he loves.
