The next morning Hoshi woke up feeling much better.

He was still a bit sleepy but was not very hurt.

Confused about his location, Hoshi looked around and saw the girl sleeping by the bed.

Seeing that he and she were safe he lied back down and relax until the girl woke up.

The girl yawned as she got up. She stretched her limbs and looked at Hoshi, awake, surprised.

"Y-you're awake!" the girl said relieved, "I healed all I could, but I guess I ran out of Mana."

Mana, huh. Hoshi thought, I guess that's the source of magic in this world.

Hoshi smiled as he replied.

"It's fine. Thank you very much."

"Well, actually," the girl said as she looked down, "I should be thanking you."

She then looked at him and continued. "I never did finish healing you. Would you like me to continue?"

"I don't wanna be much trouble," Hoshi replied, "but that would be great."

"It's no trouble at all. You did get hurt saving me in the end."

Hoshi sat up by the side of the bed as the girl got behind him.

"I-It would be more effective to heal if you took off your shirt." the girl said as she blushed.

"S-sure," Hoshi replied, awkwardly as he took off his shirt.

As Hoshi took off his shirt he was surprised to see he had a rock hard set of abs.

Hoshi did go to the gym and was a bit muscular, but not half as muscular as this.

It seemed Hoshi's blessing by the Celestial of strength, Brutus also improved his physical strength.

Hoshi grinned at his physical improvements.

Hoshi then once again put her hands in front of her, as if holding a ball as a bright yellow ball appeared before her and she put her palms to Hoshi's back and began healing him.

For a moment both sat in silence as the girl healed Hoshi until he started a conversation.

"I never did ask you." Hoshi began, "What's your name. I'm Hoshi Satoh."

"O-oh..." the girl surprised by the answer, blushed as she replied, "I-it's Sayuri Kuno."

"That's a beautiful name." Hoshi said as he smiled, "So... What were you doing in that mountain?"

"Well," Sayuri began, "This is my home city. I had gone over to Celestis, the town over the mountain doing a quest. I was coming back when I was ambushed by those goblins and was knocked out, and... well you know the rest. I'm just incredibly thankful that you saved me."

"Well... That was the right thing to do."

As the conversation ended, Sayuri had finished healing Hoshi.

"Well you're all healed up." she said, "Soooo... What now."

That was something Hoshi hadn't exactly thought of.
