The following day Keiichi recovers from his fever, wakes up, and when he realizes where Belldandy has gone and what she has done, he angrily confronts Mara about it. (Give it up for Keiichi, he must really have some balls to be manhandling Mara like that.) Finally Keiichi leaves to search for Belldandy.
