Riot!
Science's own suppression device: chloroacetone.
Basically, it's tear gas.
This'll calm you down!
Wow...
Sorcery?
Who are you people?
We want to be as quick as we can to save the people on the ship who were petrified.
I...
I know the secret of the petrification beam.
I want your help.
Please fight alongside me!
The Trump Card Aboard the Science Vessel
Five Years Ago
Amaryllis, Age 13
Amaryllis!
Hurry up and get on!
Are we really going?
Beyond the ocean?
Is that really safe?
You're so proper.
Let me guess. It's the old farts again.
"Don't leave the island!"
"Don't make new things!"
"The Master will use the sorcery he inherited to turn you into stone!"
That's so annoying.
Who cares about some stupid master?
Come on, let's go.
All right, let's go!
Crap... The two tops are here.
Huh? What's your problem?
Row! Quick!
Run!
Hey, there's a boat coming after us.
You don't know?!
It's the Master's right hand and left hand!
Look at you, all panicked. Lawl.
It's not funny!
They're the strongest people around!
Moz and Kirisame!
What a shame.
What a total shame.
They're pretty cute.
Especially that girl peeking out at the end.
She's still a kid, but I can see it.
She's gonna be gorgeous in five years.
You can have your little beauty contest at your inner palace selection event.
We have a simple task ahead of us.
Then let me ask you, Kirisame-chan...
What is there to life besides squeezing cute girls?
You're disgusting.
Not that I didn't know.
That's a pretty low trajectory.
One head higher.
Understood.
What is that light?
I'm sorry, Amaryllis...
We shouldn't have forced you...
The men are shields!
Amaryllis is the youngest! Send her farthest back!
That just triggered some really bad trauma.
Is that light what I think it is?
Yeah. The one from thousands of years ago.
I'd never forget.
It's the same kind of thing.
Although the scales differ.
But Amaryllis, several years later, you're still alive.
How were you saved?
Everyone's been successfully petrified.
The light stopped right in front of me?
It's said that the petrification ability
is sorcery passed down throughout the Master's family.
But I've seen it.
The Master wasn't on the boat.
So his goons tossed some kind of weapon.
There's nothing we can do when the Master himself has the petrification ability.
We've always had to do as he wanted.
But...
If the petrification is a weapon, we only need to steal it.
So I... well...
I was hoping you could lend me a hand.
I know we only just met today...
But you're so mighty, I can't help but depend on you.
I'm sorry.
You can stop doing that now.
It didn't work?! I was afraid of that!
Don't sweat it. We have compatible goals.
We're here to take the source of the petrification for ourselves, after all.
If the petrification was some kind of fantasy thing
that wasn't bound by any kind of rules,
humanity never would have stood a chance.
But Amaryllis, you've made a few things clear to me.
First, at the very least, there's a limited area of effect.
m 0 0 l 50 0 l 50 220 l 0 220
Limited area of effect
m 0 0 l 50 0 l 50 180 l 0 180
Used by throwing
Two, it's used by being thrown.
In other words, the user could be petrified, as well.
Three, you can stop the petrification chain reaction by cutting it off.
m 0 0 l 80 0 l 80 250 l 0 250
You can stop the petrification chain reaction by cutting it off
There are rules there.
If it has rules, it's science.
And if it's a science battle, we can't lose.
I'm sure of that.
Amaryllis, you said this Master would be coming tomorrow, did you not?
Yes.
Every year, he comes to each village to choose beautiful girls over eighteen to wed.
Though, by "choose," he really means force.
Even if they're married.
I'm really cute, so I'm going to be chosen tomorrow and get taken away.
I don't know about saying so yourself...
I mean, not that I doubt it, though.
That's why I've been working on myself this whole time,
so I can save the others.
Once I get inside the inner palace,
I'll have an opportunity to take the petrification beam.
Though, even if you can enthrall the men,
the one with the petrification beam was Kirisame, a female warrior, no?
You might have to take someone with you who can fight.
But where am I going to find a girl who can fight
and who can come into the inner palace with me?
Ah! Of course!
I just need to be chosen in this so-called "cuteness selection."
I just need to be chosen as a cute one!
Ehhh?!
It's true, Kohaku.
You're the only one who can accomplish this mission.
Don't worry about looks.
Chief of Science
We can take care of that easily with science.
m 0 0 l 80 0 l 80 260 l 0 260
Chief of Psychology
You're right about that.
m 0 0 l 55 0 l 55 265 l 0 265
Chief of Makeup
m 0 0 l 210 0 l 210 90 l 0 90
Schpoof Tester
Allow me to do the makeup.
Time for the great Kohaku-chan Beautification Mod!
Attraction is science!
Let's start with your dress.
I think your outfit's cute as it is, but it's not quite the type
that'll get you chosen for the inner palace.
You're getting changed right here?!
Oh, these men?
I'm sure they don't mind at all.
I don't mind, but stop acting like that.
That's the first thing to work on.
Our mission is to get you to win a beauty contest.
It'll take some practice to make sure you don't make a fool of yourself.
It's not uncomfortable...
But it's hard to move in.
Leg moves will be especially difficult.
That's what I'm talking about!
There.
Again, that's what I mean!
I don't think you'll need your weapon and shield with your dress.
Why'd you put them on so casually?
I guess your clothes are good enough, but...
This is where the real problems start!
Operation Science Makeup!
About that...
There isn't much more I can do with just the tools I have on me.
We're definitely going to need the lab.
Science is our trump card.
Our only advantage.
If we can get the lab, we can put up a fight on this island.
That's the boat you took?
I've never seen one so big.
The enemy's taken it over, though.
Of course they have.
They aren't total, utter, complete idiots.
Everyone...
I get how you feel, but you seriously can't just go charging in!
Is that ridiculously huge old dude the Master?
No.
The Master is younger.
That's Minister Ibara.
He gives out orders based on what the Master wants.
He's the other leader of the island.
I like it. I like it very much.
You did good, Kirisame-kun.
What a fantastic boat!
I'm sure the Master will be delighted to see it in his own hands, intact!
But Ibara-sama, the facilities on this ship are far beyond our comprehension.
I fear that it's a kind of sorcery by those who've left the island.
I suggest destroying it immediately.
Wait just a minute, Kirisame-kun.
Are you trying to give me your opinion?
It's the Master's decision, is it not?
No, that's correct.
I like the outfits, too.
Let's fix them up and put them on the girls in the inner palace.
Can't take these clothes off with this pose, though.
Time to break you apart, mister statue!
Don't worry.
I won't do anything to ruin our mission.
Someone might have survived in the ship without being petrified.
In which case, I can get their attention by shouting up close.
What are you doing here?
Which village are you from?
I didn't notice her at all.
This girl immediately assumed a combat stance.
She's strong.
This woman must be one of the strongest warriors on the island...
Kirisame!
This is bad!
There's no way I can stop her without weapons!
I'll have to keep fighting...
and take my chances now!
The lab!
I want the lab!
That's all we need!
Please!
Lab?
R-Right.
The people on the island would have never heard such a word.
It's effectively a secret message to the people of the Kingdom of Science!
Well, go on, Lab-kun. You need to go find her.
Huh?
Come on, now.
Lab-kun?
That's Senku?
Sorry, sorry.
She's just so possessive.
She gets jealous and starts a fight as soon as she finds
another girl hanging out near him.
Lab!
I want Lab!
Indeed, that is so!
Lab and I are lovers!
Ah...
Smooch!
J-Just hurry on home!
Never have your flirtatious meetings here again!
Not that such two-bit acting means anything if there's no one left on the ship.
Yeah. I know.
But I'm certain someone is.
A Few Hours Ago
Who are you?
She threw something unannounced.
It's an obvious attack.
Am I right?
What is that? Think...
I suspect I only have a few seconds until it hits me.
What is the rope for?
To recover the object being thrown?
Or to gauge its distance?
What's more, the thrower is keeping quite a distance.
Which means...
It's a type of grenade!
There's no time to escape its range.
My death is imminent.
I'll have to resort to my next plan!
If there's anyone I can save...
Ryu—
...sui?!
Live on, Suika!
Let Senku and the others know...
The ship's been attacked!
What?! What?! What?! What?!
What is that light?!
Some weird light's passing through everything!
The ship, the water... everything!
I'm done for!
The light stopped?
I'm saved?
Barely...
Right...
Ukyo grazed it with the arrow, which gave me just enough room...
Petrified...
Why?
They're all...
Kinro...
Please...
Kinro...
Someone's coming!
I need somewhere to hide!
The lab!
I think I heard Kohaku-chan's voice saying, "The lab!"
Kohaku-chan!
Senku and the others must be with her!
I'm over here!
Someone's on the ship!
A survivor from the Kingdom of Science!
Who is it?!
It's Ginro...
What? Is this Ginro not good enough?
It's not that...
It's not that he's not good enough.
He does what he needs to when it really comes to it.
But...
In terms of getting our lab back,
Magma
Taiju
if the person who came out of the barrel was Ryusui or Francois or Ukyo,
Ryusui
Francois
Ukyo
that would have been an SSR gacha pull...
Ginro
But it's Ginro...
No, Ginro does the right thing when push comes to shove.
Look!
I think he's trying to convey some important information.
"H."
"E."
"L."
"P."
THUD
That's. Not. It. Dumbass!
You need to help us!
Say there, warrior, has someone touched these barrels?
No, sir.
Why has it moved?
H-Has it?
It has.
By about a pinky's width.
It's not where I saw it last time.
Let's have a look.
What was that noise?!
It came from the transparent, ice-like room.
Transparent?
Glass?
The greenhouse where we're growing food?
Who's in there?
Was it this thing?
Judging from its bleating, it may be the beast called the "goat" from the Hundred Tales.
I heard it from up close, though.
That "crash!" sounded like something rolled and hit something.
It might be fiercer than it looks.
I like it! I like it very much!
The Master will be pleased, I'm sure!
And the vegetables!
All such unusual kinds!
I like it!
I'm saved!
Although I have no idea how.
Someone grabbed their attention from the greenhouse?
We've got a mega elite in there.
The boat we used to get to the island...
They would have noticed that someone's on the island if they'd found it,
but she ten billion percent hid it in the greenery.
No one's going to find it there for a while.
She's here fully prepared.
The master of nature and infiltration!
I'm gonna make myself useful, too!
Ginro and I are gonna get the science lab together!
