I want...

I want a professional chef!

Senku's bread is delicious enough.

It tastes like a rock, but I can chew it without problems.

You guys are missing out big time.

Real bread will blow your mind!

That's why I want to revive a professional chef!

But we don't have any revival fluid left.

We can get it by refining poop, but it will take months.

No! I want it now!

Are you even listening?

Fear not! I'll get enough fluid to revive one person.

And how are you going to get it, you fool?

We don't have any nitric acid.

About that...

I might know some baddy who secretly stashed some of it.

That face!

You sure you're not the baddy in question?

Hello?

What?

Revival fluid?

What makes you think I have it?

You can drop the act, Miss Reporter.

You were responsible for deciding who to revive, weren't you?

There must have been plenty of chances to pocket enough fluid for one person.

It allows you to revive a person you want to get info out of.

A magic potion perfect for a reporter.

Humans are unable to resist their desires.

I know this because I'm the greediest man alive.

You must have hidden some.

For real?

Could you really make that, too, Senku?

But Senku didn't say a thing.

Deception is the mentalist's forte.

He mentioned a super exciting present for our Miss Minami Hokutozai

but wants the revival fluid in exchange.

Minami Hokutozai?

The reporter sure has a cool name.

The initial letters of the literal meaning spells out "N-E-W-S."

Whisper-whisper...

I...

Want that!

But...

It seems she wants something.

I sense a scientific craft project coming up!

I don't mind.

Desire is, after all, the primary motivation for science.

Without it, mankind wouldn't have progressed.

Every new invention paves the way for our future.

I only have enough to revive one.

Who are you going to revive? A three-star chef?

I recognize this place.

Isn't this where we revived Ryusui?

We're going to revive François!

You should be able to find the target easily.

We were together when we got petrified.

François?

Get a check from my butler, François.

Write whatever number you want.

François!

Ryusui, isn't François your butler?

Butler and chef.

This individual excels in all cooking and serving duties.

A true professional in the art of hospitality.

With this pro's help,

we can not only get food

but get any meal we desire even in this primitive world!

Is François a man... or a woman?

Well... I can't tell either.

It's manners not to look

as a precautionary measure!

François sounds like a man's name.

Why doesn't Ryusui tell us anything?

I brought clothes I was told to prepare anyway.

I am grateful for the outfit and everything else.

But first things first...

Do any of you know the location of Master Ryusui?

I must go to him now.

-What? -What?

You just awakened from 3,700 years of petrification.

You should first get some rest.

Ryusui is doing great. Don't worry about him.

Worry?

Sadly, nothing changes

when an insignificant servant like me gets worried.

This is only my job.

Let's get moving.

Wait! You don't know where he is!

Let me show you the way.

My deepest gratitude. That is indeed helpful.

This is unbelievable!

Is François... French?

Can this person speak Japanese?

I never thought about that. Probably Japanese.

Was the name François or Francoiz?

Even the sex of this individual escapes me.

Not even the sex?

Inattentive much?

But there's one thing I know for sure.

This person is the butler I want the most in this world.

Skills before ethnicity and sex, isn't that right?

Excuse me, Master Ryusui and everyone.

Please show me the bread you made.

François strolled in just like that!

Jeez...

We traveled nonstop for two days...

Shouldn't we bring François up to speed?

That is unnecessary.

I'm sure François analyzed the situation on the way here.

This is the bread we made with our home-grown wheat!

Behold, the bread...

Considering the worst-case scenario is part of my job,

but with all due respect,

did you serve this industrial waste to the guests?

Correct!

It tasted really good.

May I ask the requirements for this bread and the guests' wishes?

We need food that lasts a lengthy voyage.

The bread has to have a long shelf life, be filling,

and edible at the minimum.

No, I inquired how many months it needs to last.

Please give me as precise a number as possible.

Based on my experience, the crew can't take a voyage

that's over a year long.

So, no longer than...

ten months.

That's how long it needs to last.

Ten months. Understood.

Then the menu item I'll prepare will be...

goat's blessing stollen.

Stollen?

It's a kind of sweet bread stored for Christmas.

This is amazing!

It's goat milk butter!

Stollen is full of nuts and dried fruits.

The dried fruits used are soaked in wine.

I see.

The sugar, butter, and dried fruits removes the free-water from the bread.

Without water, bacteria can't reproduce.

No bacteria, no rot.

Speed matters more than strength.

Knead by gently rubbing...

Excuse me!

Master Ryusui, Master Senku,

the nuts are coming out of the dough.

Those parts will get burned.

I bet you use the upper and lower furnace for temperature adjustments.

This is terrific. I thank you from the bottom of my heart.

Fulfilling the desire of my guests with the perfect service

is my job.

Desire...

is noble.

For baking harder bread

the first nine minutes is vital.

This is bad!

I've never smelled this aroma in my entire life.

It smells so tasty.

The rising of the bread only takes place in the first nine minutes.

To transfer enough heat to the bread in such a short amount of time,

the air density of the oven is important...

This is basic science.

Water vapor's heat conduction is much better than air.

That should be enough heat for the bread.

Master Ryusui, as your butler,

I want to help reestablish Nanami Conglomerate.

But to conquer the new world,

Senku Ishigami...

is the person we want.

I know.

Don't forget, I'm the greediest man alive.

Bad! What's in this bread?

It's so tasty, I'm blown away!

I'm getting emotional.

We haven't had modern food in thousands of years.

It's like madeleine, but stiffer. We can have as much as we want!

Yeah. This flavor is on par with famous bakeries.

We just acquired the perfect long-lasting food

that we can take to the other side of Earth.

Desire is...

noble!

UNLOCKED: BREAD!

This tastes heavenly.

This is bad, François!

It's actually a lot easier than you think.

Anyone can make bread if there's wheat.

Pour water into the flour.

Leave it at a temperature of around 30℃ for a few days.

It's summer right now, so the temperature is just right.

The dough will then ferment and produce bubbles.

I thought we needed yeast to make bread.

Yeast is everywhere in this world.

Wheat alone already has plenty of yeast.

There is a lot of yeast on fruit skins.

Mixing them in for yeast can coax out extra flavors.

The more water you use, the softer the bread will be.

However, it goes bad quicker too.

The adequate ratio of flour and water is 1:1.

Once the sourdough is ready,

the rest of the process is the same as modern bread making.

François' Baking Lesson.

WATER AND SALT

First, add water and salt to the flour.

Then, knead the dough.

Let it rest for an hour.

Roll the dough into a ball to release the gas inside.

Fold and push the dough into itself with the heel of your hands.

Let it rest for another hour.

Bake it at 200-300℃.

Bread is ready to serve.

Bad! This is really amazing!

Hey, who do you think deserves the most credit for the delicious bread?

-François. -François.

Wrong answer!

Well, not entirely wrong.

François deserves some credit too.

But this was all possible because of my revival fluid.

You promised to make something for me in return.

I haven't forgotten about that.

Making bread is great and all...

But the thing I want the most is...

-I see. -What's that?

You made a reckless promise, mentalist.

Sorry. I just went with the flow of things.

But you can make it anyway, right, Senku?

This requires delicate craftsmanship.

We need Mr. Kaseki the craftsman.

Kaseki is old.

Trekking back to Ishigami Village will be too much for him.

You can't summon him back so lightly.

I can carry him and run back!

This must be Taiju.

Leave it to me.

I appreciate it.

Thank you, but I don't need your help.

Huh?

Senku.

Do you know how much time has passed since we last saw each other?

Do not underestimate a craftsman.

It can even climb up slopes now, thanks to a double-piston engine!

Steam Gorilla 2!

We already had the engine and other parts.

That suit!

Suave, right?

I plan to wear this from now on.

Well, you didn't call me for nothing. Let's start crafting!

The suit!

Let's leave the crafting to Kaseki.

We have science work to do.

Alright.

We'll be using familiar ingredients.

Sodium hydroxide,

silver, and ammonia.

That's the stinky stuff you get from pee.

We mix all of them together to create a mixture and soak a glass plate in it.

Then, some glucose from raisins for some hidden extra flavor.

It's done.

That was fast!

What? Is that me?

UNLOCKED: MIRROR!

Now we wipe the surface clean

and stick a sheet of paper or carbon fiber on its back.

That keeps the silver coating from peeling so that it can be used normally.

A mirror? Is that what Miss Minami asked for?

Face and beauty care. That's her top priority.

That's a tasteless comment, Chrome.

All women are beautiful. It's only natural to want to care for it.

The mirror matters a lot to me...

but what I want is a tool of my trade.

A tool of her trade?

This mirror...

is going to be a film.

Are you saying...

This mirror will be placed inside the case made by Mr. Kaseki.

The case itself serves as a darkroom.

We turn the iodine refined from seaweeds into steam for coating the mirror.

The film is ready and installed.

Daguerreotype...

The oldest model of the camera

in the history of mankind.

On that day thousands of years ago,

I lost...

my precious camera.

Thank you.

I'll use this camera to record...

the civilization we started from scratch.

I'll take pictures of our new world.

Take as many photos as you want.

We're going to take photos from the hot air balloon too.

There are so many of them!

I get it now! We take photos from the sky during our search!

This is ten billion percent faster than looking with our naked eyes.

I made these cameras for that exact purpose!

You should've left it at making them for Minami.

You made a fool out of her giving that mushy speech.

At least let me take the first commemorative picture!

-Agreed. -Agreed.

I'm buying the right to decide who models in the photo!

Why would I use you for the first photo in this world?

Don't be silly.

This is a record for the dawn of a scientific civilization.

We're taking a picture of Senku.

Any objections?

It's going to be exhibited at Nanami Museum,

where you find records of the New World.

You misunderstand Master Ryusui.

His goal isn't to promote himself.

Master Ryusui's desire is far more ambitious.

He wants everyone to shine

and have a hand in achieving this end.

And I...

anticipated as much.

I asked Master Kaseki to bring us Master Ryusui's wardrobe.

How far ahead do you plan anyway?

I expect nothing less from you, François!

Well then, time for the photoshoot.

If I remember correctly, this type of camera makes flipped photos.

Nope. Since this camera has a prism, the inverted images get corrected.

Forget it! The outfits get in the way when I operate the hot air balloon!

Don't get me involved!

At least strike a pose for me.

Senku... posing...

I can't even begin to imagine him smiling and flashing the peace sign.

How about the pose of the most famous scientist?

That's it!

We can't just snap a photo as we did with smartphones and digital cameras.

The image will be blurred if the balloon doesn't fly steadily.

Don't underestimate the king of the wind.

We'll find petroleum in no time!

Senku says to first treat the plate with mercury vapor

and then pour the fixer we made with sulfuric acid into the hole.

Senku is on the plate!

What's that weird face he's making?

Only modern people would know.

It's the iconic pose of the world's most famous scientist.
