"Miss Mukong!?" Ryuuko asks, turning over to face her. "I didn't even notice you arrived inside, but okay."
Timeskip + Astro's P.O.V
I feel some sort of wrapping covering up my naked body as I'm also getting a burning sensation. "Ugh..." My eyes slowly open as I see some sort of beastwoman? "Uhm...what is-"
"It's just some old-fansioned bandage wrappings, only that it's been enveloped within Solar energy." She interrupts me.
"Solar energy? Isn't that the power that the Asterians used?" I begrudgingly ask.
"Asterian?" She chuckles. "What on Gaia are you talking about?" She retorts back at me, still working on the wrapping. "Heh, is this "Asterian" thing a race or something?" She chuckles, seemingly amused now.
"Huh? What do you mea-" She cuts me off.
"Anyways, the bandages were created by grabbing some bandages and using Solar energy that I conjured up for you, and since it takes a lot of energy to a degree, you better be grateful." She pouts, making me feel a little sad.
I close my eyes and try to contest her pouting, moving my head away as I make the motion. "Hmph!" I then open my eyes to see hers looking right back at me, we both did the same thing.
"Ehehe..." I lower my head and look down. "Alright, look, I'm sorry. You didn't also have to heal me though-" She cuts me off again.
"But I did anyways." She smiles as she giggles, then, she makes a mischievous expression. "Though, if you want to repay me, you can tell me how you got here and what you were doing before teleporting here." She inquires.
"You were bleeding a lot since you came here, and while Kuudare did hit you really hard in the head, you were still bleeding a lot before that." She says, still wrapping me up, finishing the lower body.
"I...teleported? So that's what she did..." I mutter under my breath.
The bandaging stopped. "Hmm? Who did what, huh?" She's all up in my face now with a look of worry and concern.
I move my head, surprised. "Ah! Oh, i-it's...uhm, actually..." I compose myself and take deep breaths. "My mother...she must've teleported me to this realm when she saw that the emperor was killing me." I answer, eyes locked on the ground.
She resumes bandaging me, "I'm listening... Why were you fighting? What 'Emperor'? And why teleport you here? There's just so many questions already."
"Okay, so," I take another deep breath. "do you know of the Galaxian Emperor?"
Her ears perk up, "Hmm? No. Should I? This 'Galaxian Emperor' you speak of sounds like some big title in the cosmic hierarchy." She does air quotes as she talks about the emperor, still skeptical about it even being a thing.
I'm about to protest her skepticism, but she cuts me off. "Buuuuut, judging by your injuries and the fact that I have no reason NOT to believe you for now, I believe you.
I sigh. "So, back to what I was saying, he's some tyrant that runs a whole empire filled with conquerors and warlords who strive to take over all the lands in the cosmic sky and become the one true god. At least that's what I've been told."
