( Yuuki's POV )
Hilda had gathered the best healers in our family, and before I could ask what Hilda's plan was, she snapped her fingers and we were trapped in an empty dimension.
Shizuka: My Yuuki, what happened to you?
My body was floating in space and a worried Shizuka and Ayaka flew towards me and grabbed me in a tight hug, I endured the pain just to enjoy the softness of their bodies.
Hilda: Yuuki went a little overboard showing off in front of Loki; you didn't need half the power you used.
Yuuki: Yes, but in my defense, my new body should have been able to handle that.
Hilda: It will be able to, but you have to feed it properly.
Hilda pulled out a small, vibrant red sphere that looked like a sweet candy.
Yuuki: A candy?
Hilda: It tastes like one, but this is actually a compressed and purified magic stone; eating one of these a day will increase your stamina considerably.
Hilda put the candy in my mouth but I didn't feel very different and my body still didn't respond; there was some confusion on my face and she responded quickly.
Hilda: In order for your body to begin healing, we first need to return your internal energy to normal. Koneko, you have a way of healing that is perfect for that.
Koneko: ...um.
Koneko's face turned bright red and she began to remove her clothes, and Yasaka did the same, I couldn't take my eyes off them and I wasn't interested in the details of what they were doing, but Hilda told me anyway.
Hilda: Nekoshou can heal by mixing their energy with that of another through physical contact, and direct contact is best.
Asia: W-we have to do the same.
Hilda: That's the idea.
The rest of the girls began to remove their clothes, and for the next few hours they spent their time rubbing their bodies against mine, and I slowly began to regain mobility. Excellent method of healing, I will definitely try it again.
Thanks to the pocket dimension that Hilda created, those hours that passed were only a second for the young devils outside.
////////////////////////////
After the battle with Loki, we returned to Kuoh City, I was finally planning to join the exploration teams, but another small deviation occurred, but this was something more pleasant.
This morning I received a call from the leader of the Los Angeles gang, Michael. He called to ask me a favor, and that favor was for me to take his sister Gabriel on a date around town.
It seemed more like he was doing me a favor, but this wasn't romantic, now that the angels could enjoy human entertainment, Michael planned this special mission and his sister volunteered for it, I guess the angels really were thirsty for entertainment and Michael trusted me enough to take care of his sister.
Asia and Xenovia, as former members of the church, accompanied us because they could understand Gabriel in a way that I couldn't, and perhaps they were there to watch over me, Gabriel was a beautiful but innocent girl; she needed extra supervision, otherwise who knows what kind of bad person could deceive her.
Gabriel: Yuuki-san, what will we watch first?
I don't like to be too formal, but the angels had certain customs and limitations, so I let her call me whatever she wanted.
Yuuki: I want to buy some gifts for a friend of mine; this is something that the angeles might like.
The new friend she was talking about was Seekvaira, and the gift she wanted to give her was a collection of buildable models of different mechs and Gundams, angels have patience and dedication, so this could work very well for them.
Xenovia: Sometimes I don't understand you, Yuuki. How can you get excited about something like this when you've built so many real Gears?
It was impossible to hide my excitement when we entered the store, and that caused Xenovia some confusion.
Yuuki: This and that are totally different things; building models from scratch is love, assembling each piece is passion, and admiring the complete work is the culmination, the eternal gift of mechs.
Gabriel: oh If Yuuki-san feels so strongly about this, I'd like to try it too.
Yuuki: Fantastic! I would love to welcome another fellow mech lover; anyone who loves mechs is a friend of mine.
Gabriel: friend... I had never had a friend before.
Gabriel was truly innocent; her face lit up when he spoke about friendship, which was sweet, and I welcomed it with open arms.
We continued on our way after that, and we met someone unexpected, a girl with pigtails was looking at a shop with magical girl related items.
Yuuki: Serafall, what are you doing here?
Serafall: Oh Yuuki, I'm just doing some personal shopping, but how are you? Are you recovering well?
Gabriel: Yuuki-san, are you hurt?
Yuuki: that was nothing, my shoulder is just a little tense, that's all.
Upon hearing what we were doing, Serafall joined us; Serafall's passion for everything related to magical girls caused Gabriel to become interested as well.
Human food was another thing Gabriel was curious about, so we ended our day by visiting a couple of restaurants, Gabriel ate quite a lot for someone of his build, but that didn't really matter much to supernatural creatures.
I could see that she wanted to try many more things, but gluttony was a sin, and if she overindulged, that would be bad, even with the bracelet that Michael had created.
When it was time to leave, I escorted Gabriel to the abandoned church where a portal would open for her.
Gabriel: Yuuki-san, thank you so much for taking the time to grant our selfish request.
Yuuki: I never ignore an ally, much less a friend.
Before she left I took out of my storage a box that contained a cake I had made and I handed it to Gabriel; she looked at my gift somewhat confused.
Gabriel: what is this?
Yuuki: Dessert, I noticed there are more things you wanted to do, so don't hesitate to call me if you want to go to the city again. We're friends now, right?
Gabriel: um~ Thank you very much, Yuuki-san.
