Welcome back!

We made it past the biggest hurdle!

We got sulfuric acid!

Then, at last, we can make the drug to save Ruri-nee?

Have some patience.

Didn't you see that crazy roadmap to the cure-all drug?

That incredibly long one?

It's not that bad.

We have just about everything we need now.

We have all the necessary materials.

Now it's just a matter of lighting up.

Iron.

Alcohol.

Electricity.

Vinegar.

Sodium Bicarbonate.

Salt.

Sulfuric Acid.

Urine.

Powerful Magnets.

Copper.

Phosphorus.

Sodium Hydroxide.

Sodium Hydrogen Sulfate.

Coal.

Aniline.

Chlorosulfuric Acid.

Hydrochloric Acid.

Carbonic Acid.

Acetic Anhydride.

Ammonia.

Cure-all Sulfa Drugs

all the dark spots on the roadmap, one by one.

Let's plow through it today.

Time for mad chemical cooking!

It's gonna be exhilarating!

Good morning, world.

Good Morning World!

Good Morning World!

How far have I walked?

Only the pain in my feet.

Gives me a sense of the distance.

The hope for a beautiful view at the end of a long night.

Is what keeps me going today.

The mountains of the gods, the palaces of green.

The depths of the caves, the ends of the deep blue sky

I'll go the full distance, there are no limits.

To the ends of the world.

Good morning, world.

Good Morning World!

Good Morning World!

Rid away the impossibility of the dark.

An odyssey turning mythology into the everyday.

In this painstaking journey, turning over every stone.

We'll expand our world.

Masked Warrior.

First, we boil the sulfuric acid we got, and add a pinch of salt.

There's a weird glass sculpture with a stick in the middle.

How dare you make me make such a complicated thing?!

I don't know what you're using it for, but you've gone and made me all excited!

It's a water dripping machine.

Are we catching the gas that's coming out of the

sulfuric acid and salt mixture as it drips?

Hydrochloric Acid.

Now we've got hydrochloric acid.

Hydrochloric acid?

It's a somewhat dangerous chemical.

Get it in your eyes, and you'll go blind.

Next, the sinters from the sulfuric acid spring,

which people love taking home from hot springs.

Boil this stuff, throw it into the hydrochloric acid we just made, and...

Chlorosulfuric Acid.

Now we have chlorosulfuric acid.

Chlorosulfuric acid?

This stuff is really dangerous.

Get it on your skin, and you'll turn into a skulking zombie.

Good.

Man, it smells like a swimming pool.

Separate the salt water using electricity, and...

Sodium Hydroxide.

We have sodium hydroxide.

Sodium hydroxide?

This chemical is ultra dangerous.

The yakuza use it to melt corpses.

Ah, I see, I see.

A drug that makes you blind, turns you into a zombie, and melts your corpse.

I see.

You're going to make Ruri-nee drink that?

No one's drinking it!

We're using it to prepare the drug!

Don't worry.

The rest of the chemicals are harmless.

Let's go get some ammonia.

Woo!

Ammonia?

We have ammonia.

Urine.

And you're going to make Ruri-nee drink that?

She's not drinking it, damn it!

We're using it to prepare the drug!

Iron.

Alcohol.

Electricity.

Vinegar.

Sodium Bicarbonate.

Salt.

Sulfuric Acid.

Urine.

Powerful Magnets.

Copper.

Phosphorus.

Sodium Hydroxide.

Sodium Hydrogen Sulfate.

Coal.

Aniline.

Chlorosulfuric Acid.

Hydrochloric Acid.

Carbonic Acid.

Acetic Anhydride.

Ammonia.

Cure-all Sulfa Drugs.

All right, we're getting there.

We're more or less down to three items.

Alcohol.

Vinegar.

Sodium Bicarbonate.

Coal.

Aniline.

Carbonic Acid.

Acetic Anhydride.

Powerful Magnets.

Copper.

Phosphorus.

Sodium Hydroxide.

Acetic anhydride, sodium bicarbonate, and anilin.

It all sounds like some kind of spell.

We can't make any of it without alcohol.

Put another way, if we just get some alcohol...

We'll have the ultimate cure-all, sulfa drugs.

Let's start making alcohol, then!

It's going to be a bit of a pain.

We can use all the help we can get.

Alcohol?

What are you talking about?

If you win the Grand Bout tomorrow,

the villagers will give you more than you can ever finish.

Wait, the Grand Bout is tomorrow?

The timing is too perfect.

Yeah.

If Kinro or Ginro wins, we'll have alcohol,

and we can give Ruri the cure-all drug!

Yeah.

We're going to win the Grand Bout, even if it kills us.

It's finally time.

Your husband, the new village chief, will be chosen tomorrow.

Isn't that right, Ruri?

Yes.

Turquoise!

Are preparations for the Grand Bout proceeding well?

Yes.

Well, yes...

The preparations are, at least.

That said...

Why is Kohaku competing again?!

You need to tell her she can't!

Anyone over fourteen and not yet married can participate.

The sacred rules of the Grand Bout are immutable.

No one expected a girl to compete!

Well, let's let it be.

A man who can't even defeat a woman isn't fit

to fill the seat of the village chief, anyway.

Chief, there's actually one more problem.

Hm?

There's a new contestant.

You're participating in the Grand Bout?!

I signed him up!

Senku's over fourteen and unmarried, after all!

Yeah, there's no rule that says you have to be a villager.

Since when have Senku and Ginro been so close?

Their skeevy sides brought them together.

But, Senku, you aren't a very capable fighter.

I don't plan on winning.

I just want to tire them out.

Plus, if we go up against each other...

Boop.

Oh, no, you got me!

We move up without breaking a sweat!

The more contestants on our side, the better! Right?!

Y-You're rigging the game.

You're way too underhanded, Ginro.

Either way, even with worthy goals, rules are rules.

I'm not going to lose on purpose to rig the game.

Of course, of course!

You look like the best bet to win against Magma anyway, Kinro.

Save your energy and make it to the top.

You don't need to cheat, Kinro.

We're just going to be all like, "Mercy!"

Got a problem with that?

Neither of you look very righteous.

Kohaku! What about you?

Are you fine with tarnishing the game by rigging it?

Anti - Pro.

Well, I mean...

Rigging.

Anti - Pro.

If it improves Ruri-nee's chances of surviving, even just a little...

It's been nearly half a year since he arrived.

Finally...

I'm setting foot in the village for the first time.

This is the first step.

Is that the outsider who wants to enter the Grand Bout?

Yes.

His name is Senku.

Senku?

Did you say his name is Senku?

What, have you met him before or something, Ruri?

No, I haven't.

Of course I haven't, but...

I still know...

I still know Senku.

Hey!

For years...

No, possibly even from long, long ago in the past.

Senku-san, right?

So you're the priestess, Ruri.

We finally meet, huh?

There's something I must ask you.

Senku, what is your last name?

Last...

name?

Your last name is another name that attaches to-

Yeah, I know what it is.

There's no culture of having last names in this village.

How does this woman know?

Could it be that you're Ishi-

Ruri-sama!

Outsider!

Stay away from the priestess!

Don't make her walk!

Carry her back immediately!

Are you all right?

Yes.

I have a ton of questions, too.

Let's have a good, long interview once the Grand Bout is over with.

This is excellent.

I might not need to kill Ruri.

It looks like she'll croak as soon as we get married.

Anyone but you, Magma!

Hey, that's not bad form for Chrome.

Chrome's been practicing poking that target non-stop.

I'm practicing hitting Magma's weak spot.

His weak spot? You don't mean...

Yep! His wee-wee!

I agree.

If the goal is to wear him down, then it makes sense to go for his testicles.

Kohaku-chan...

You're beyond tomboy or butch when it comes to fighting.

You're simply... insane.

I don't have a chance of winning,

but I'm going to chip away at Magma as much as I can before.

Kinro or someone else goes up against him.

That's the best I can do.

That means the match-up is going to be crucial.

Rig it! Rig it!

Make a match-up that'll let us rig it!

Rig it! Rig it!

Yup, screw having a fair fight.

The kingdom of science fights with wits and genius.

Make a match-up that'll let us rig it!

Let's game the Grand Bout to hell and back.

We'll rig it so that Kinro gets to the top unscathed,

and pit him against an exhausted Magma.

Which means it's best for us if Kinro and Magma are in separate blocks.

Although it'll be quickest if I can defeat Magma in the first match.

Right.

If you win in the finals, it all gets reset.

When it comes to drawing straws, all we can do is pray to God.

Kohaku-chan and Magma start off together.

Kinro and Magma never go against each other.

- Kohaku-chan and Magma start off together. - It sounds like a tongue twister.

Kinro and Magma never go against each other.

Kohaku-chan and Magma start off together!

Kinro and Magma never go against each other!

They're drawing up the tournament brackets.

Kohaku-chan and Magma start off together.

Kinro and Magma never go against each other!

Kohaku-chan and Magma start off together.

Kinro and Magma never go against each other!

Kohaku-chan and Magma start off together!

Kinro and Magma never go against each other!

The first round of the Grand Bout will be between...

Kinro and Magma!

This is bad.

This is really bad.

This is seriously bad!

It turned out the exact opposite of what I prayed for!

Damn it, how could we be so unlucky?

What can you do?

A science user doesn't count on being lucky.

You just do what you can, even if you're dealt the worst cards.

A rigged Grand Bout is won by doping,

with this Kingdom special science power-up drink!

That's another mighty suspicious drink.

Does it have some kind of crazy drug in it?

Sadly, it's perfectly safe.

It's made from tea leaves, honey, and sweet flag.

The caffeine's a stimulant, the sweet flag will keep you cool,

and the honey will jack your blood sugar through the roof.

In this stone world, that's nothing short of doping.

Who said to drink all of it?!

We're all out?!

What do you want me to do?!

If you lose to Magma, I'm going to have to beat him!

He ate the ingredients raw.

Dude, he finished all the sweet flag.

Is that the grass that's growing all over the river?

I'll go pick some!

I may not be competing, but I can still make myself useful!

But, hey, I just need you to make it to the final match, right?

This is bad!

Suika-chan fell in the river trying to pick herbs!

She's drowning!

You're the quickest, Kohaku-chan, so you'd better go help her before she dies!

You're ten billion percent lying, obviously.

I-I'm not lying.

I just happened to pass by her at the river when I saw her!

How do you know she was there to pick herbs

if you just "happened" to see her at the river?

Come back in ten billion years if you want to have a brain battle

with the science team, you blatant idiot.

I know he's lying,

but if there's even the slightest chance that he's not,

I'd be letting Suika die.

Kohaku, you're our last stand against Magma.

If you bail now...

But I'm the only one who can save her. I'm the fastest.

I know he's lying, but I have to go to the river.

You're a despicable man, Mantle.

Kohaku!

N-No way!

Round one: Kinro! Magma!

Forward!

Yeah, but Kohaku went to save Suika.

If Kohaku doesn't return in time for her match in round three, she'll be disqualified.

Damn it!

Get back quick, Kohaku!

Good going, Mantle.

Yeah!

I had to make doubly sure.

Now that Kohaku is gone, there's no one who can defeat me.

I, Magma-sama, will be the next village chief and Ruri's husband.

Kinro!

If you surrender now, I'll make you my right-hand man.

I don't dislike strong men.

Lick my shoes in front of everyone, here and now!

I'll take that as your pledge.

Magma, even if what you say is true, I would never surrender.

Even in the midst of this corrupt Grand Bout,

I'm incapable of fighting except in earnest.

Not only that, but I'm not the same man I was before.

You've never won against me once!

What could possibly be different?

I...

I have no choice but to win, for my friends!

Round one: Magma versus Kinro.

Begin!

Your filthy greed is nothing compared to what motivates me!

Kinro, when did you become so strong?

Wow, he's evenly matched with Magma.

He might have a chance!

Huh, he's doing ten billion percent better than I thought he would.

This is all thanks to our battle team's training.

Why are you getting so smug, Ginro?

If worse comes to worst...

Hey, Mantle.

Jasper's an insanely good referee.

He won't let you get away with that.

You got this, Kinro!

Not direct.

Direct attacks from outsiders.

Yeah!

I was just, y'know...

Click, click!

Clicking rocks together to cheer him on.

Nuts.

Mantle tied it so tight, I can't get free.

I have to get back to the others, quick!

Magma took a step back.

He always just goes by brute force.

Magma's serious.

I've never seen him like that.

This is bad.

He's put distance between us.

Kinro's straining his eyes.

Suika! You're safe!

So he was lying about you drowning.

Damn that Mantle!

Kinro probably has the fuzzy sickness in his eyes.

I can tell because I have it, too.

What was that jab?

It didn't even come close.

Shit, that was a direct hit!

Kinro!

It's no use.

I can't move.

No...

Not yet.

What I'm doing is important.

Suika?

How did you get in here?

I'm finally going to really, really put myself to use!

Still not giving up, Kinro?

I like you even more.

I want you to be my henchman.

I'm going to use this hill to gain speed!

Now, lick my shoes!

It's the eyes of science, Kinro!

Who the hell is that creep?!

What's the deal with that goofy mask?

My vision...

So this is science!

Holy crap!

He's dodging each one, just barely!

Wh-What's going on with you?

I'm grateful for the science, Suika, Senku.

Let me teach you, Magma...

Had science helped me conquer my eyes,

I would have surpassed your strength long ago.

Maybe I don't know what to do.

Hurry up, my mind is on the moon.

Flying up to where the wind blew.

In my hands awakens.

The passion overflowing.

Just wandering through this world.

Your one shining pure.

Could never be pierced with a rusty knife

I'm burning like a fire gone wild.

The moment an arrow shot through my heart.

The noise plaguing me was released.

Everything was different from that moment on.

If I don't try, I'll never know.

Why do flowers bloom?

Your voice echoes.

Tell me why?

I just shouted to the sky.

But you are no no no longer here, that's right?

The life we confirmed that day.

You can call it a fleeting dream if you want.

But I'll save you from a wounded today.

Next Time.
