As fun as it sounds to just storm in there with everyone, we'd really better not.

We don't know anything about the people who inhabit the island!

That's true, but we've got science on our side, so we've definitely got a leg up on them!

And how can you be so sure they don't have any?

At the very least, we know they don't have radar.

If they did, they would've spotted our ship by now.

True, but science is the only advantage we know we have.

So let's make use of this storm and sneak up to the island while we can.

I can't see a single thing up ahead.

Can we really keep this massive ship from running aground?

Don't underestimate our sonar man, Ukyo-sama.

Our eyes of science sure are handy!

I wonder who could've crafted something so amazing?

Oh, right, that would be me!

All hands, return to your stations!

The rain is going to let up soon.

We need to hide the ship in that cove before it does.

I'll be handing out a bonus to anyone who can prove their worth.

It's time to get on that island!

The weather sure did clear up!

We snuck into the cove just in the nick of time,

and it's thanks to all of your hard work!

As promised, everyone will be rewarded with a 10,000 drago bonus!

We don't have time to mess around, guys.

If we dilly-dally, we'll be spotted.

Let's get this show on the road.

It's treasure huntin' time!

I think you meant to say "It's genocidin' time"!

Listen up, people. We're assembling a recon squad.

R-Recon squad?!

If we bring too many people, it could seem like a declaration of war, right?

In that case, we'll keep the squad as small as possible.

Exactly.

Remember, guys, we came here with a very specific goal in mind.

We've just gotta collect the final part to our unlimited revival fluid machine.

We'll get in there, grab that platinum, and get out.

If we can find it on our own, great.

If we have to ask the islanders, then so be it.

In my estimation, our recon squad should have...

four members!

Senku!

I'm the only one who can identify platinum, after all.

Soyuz!

You're the only native we've got.

I-I'll try to remember something helpful!

Kohaku.

Bodyguard and spotting duty.

Understood.

Gen.

You're in charge of any and all negotiations.

Bleh.

All right.

Commence the operation!

Why didn't we bring Ukyo with us?

It'd be useful to have his hearing in addition to my eyesight.

He was staring a hole into that sonar display of his.

He saw something on the sea floor, I think.

Well then, now that they're gone...

What're you doing here?!

Did you sneak aboard?!

I just wanted to help, too!

I'd be really, really good on the recon team!

No wonder I didn't see you with everyone else sending us off.

I won't allow it!

Once caught, stowaways must be returned to their port of origin!

So until we get back to Japan, you'd better stay put and behave!

Scouting a mysterious island could be quite the dangerous mission,

and no good captain would willingly risk the life of a child like that.

Ryusui-sama might seem harsh,

but he's really just concerned for your well-being, Suika-sama.

I can speak for myself, Francois!

My apologies, sir.

Hey, don't sweat it, Suika!

There are plenty of ways you can help out right here on the boat!

I know! The deck's filthy from the storm, so why don't we clean it up while we wait?

Got it! I'll give it everything I've got!

Ugh, I'd rather die, man.

I knew it.

There's something down there.

If anyone has a moment, could you please swim down and take a look at the sea floor?

Well, if you insist!

Man of the water, on the job!

Dude, you're such a scumbag!

You're just dodging cleaning duty!

A leisurely swim in the southern seas...

This is infinitely better than playing janitor.

Jeez, talk about a jump-scare!

Thankfully, it's just a stone statue.

I've seen plenty of 'em before, but...

There sure are a lot here!

What's the big deal? Those statues are everywhere, right?

No, the timeline doesn't add up.

When Earth was hit by the petrification beam, this island was completely uninhabited.

The astronauts were the first people to settle down here.

Those statues that Ginro found...

They were petrified after that.

We're being watched!

Who the hell are you?

I swear I just saw a flash of light coming from the direction of the boat.

Was it just my imagination?

Weather's all clear, but not our signal.

Seems like they aren't picking up the phone.

Senku-chan, Kohaku-chan, you two go on ahead.

I'll try calling again from higher up.

Got it.

Yello?

I-I'll see if I can spot them.

What's gotten into you, Soyuz-chan?

Everything happened too fast for me to understand,

but I remember Ryusui kicking me away like he was trying to save me.

What's the freaking rush, you damn gorilla?

Did you spot something?

Yeah.

A clue.

Discarded sea shells.

Someone must be nearby!

And if we're lucky, they might know the location of the capsule we're looking for!

Great job! Way to put that 20/1.8 eyesight to use!

But how are we gonna track them down?

You just leave that to me.

Senku-chan!

Now, let's just try to stay calm, guys.

C'mon, were you even listening?!

I had a feeling this might happen!

What the hell is this for?!

We need to go save everyone right now!

Listen here! They petrified the entire ship!

If we rush over there and leap into their trap with open arms,

we'll get petrified too, and then it's really game over! Get it?

I don't give a damn!

I didn't even see him tie the rope.

That's our con-man magician for you.

We can't go near them!

Some traumatic memories just came rushing back after seeing everyone petrified.

When I was taken from the island as a baby...

We were running.

From something that could petrify people.

I-I'm sorry, but that's all I can remember.

I'm sure I saw more, but it's locked away.

You were just a baby, weren't you?

It's actually kind of amazing you can remember anything at all.

There's no need to apologize, man.

You just gave us a super valuable clue.

Basically, we already knew we had an enemy on this island, right?

It's clear there's somebody here trying to petrify the entire Kingdom of Science.

But now we know we've also got some potential allies trying to avoid the same fate.

If we can befriend even a single native of the island,

they might be able to guide us to the capsule!

Platinum acquired!

Unlimited revival fluid, here we come!

Then we can revive all of humanity, including everyone on the ship!

Yep, it definitely seems like somebody left these here.

Right.

They discarded the ones that were dead or too hard to eat.

Unfortunately, this doesn't tell us if they're friend or foe.

Though, if they can lead us to the capsule, it's probably worth the risk.

Either way, it's ten billion times better than searching aimlessly.

Let's track 'em down!

If we hurry, we can still catch up.

It hasn't even been thirty minutes since they left, after all.

How do you know that?

Greenbottle flies have a super strong ability that lets them detect carrion from up to 16 kilometers away.

On an island this small, they'd hone in on the rotting shellfish in no time.

But they showed up after we did, so...

It could only have been twenty minutes at most since our suspect tossed these shells.

This is where some painstakingly slow, step-by-step forensic work really shines.

We'll extract the whereabouts of our suspect from the crime scene with ten billion percent accuracy.

Let the science-fueled investigation begin!

Is that the stuff you used when you operated on Tsukasa-chan?

Yep, it's adhesive.

Cyanoacrylate.

We bring this stuff to a boil, and soak the shell in its steam.

Then we shine a black light on the shell, and our evidence appears.

Fingerprints!

You can see the marks left behind by their fingers?

We can make some inferences about the suspect based on the shape, too.

Female.

Average height and weight.

Your surmised that much from the adhesive?

Incredible work, Detective Science.

I don't need your praise. I need you to work on a suspect profile.

The investigation is in your hands now, Detective Mental.

Detective Mental... For real?

Sheesh.

Being a mentalist doesn't make me a psychic.

So what I'm about to say is pure conjecture, got it?

Our suspect is a young woman.

An older, more experienced forager wouldn't bother picking up worthless shells in the first place.

Older people have to use their energy efficiently,

so they would sort through the shells as they collected them.

But our suspect did the opposite, sifting through the shells as she walked.

Probably because she didn't realize how heavy they would be.

And naturally, that heavy load made it tough for her to navigate through the foliage, too.

A young girl, average height, right? Probably around 160 centimeters tall, then.

That means her head would be around here, so...

Yup, bingo.

Look what I've found.

A young woman's hair.

Excellent job.

Just throw the evidence in here.

Is a single hair enough?

Nah, we'll definitely need more.

Leave no leaf unturned, guys.

Now that we've got enough, let's toss them into the centrifuge!

C-Centrifuge?! Where are you gonna get one of those?

Right here.

Spin it real good.

Not a problem!

Our muscle-powered centrifuge separated the particles into layers, see?

Now we just inspect the pollen.

With one of these, of course!

Where did you—?!

Thanks to our upgraded lathe, whipping up this baby was a piece of cake!

Now, then, let's take a closer look.

Lily pollen.

Lilies don't grow along the coast.

That means our suspect must live further inland, in the mountains.

Scientific investigations are quite formidable.

All we had were some shells, and now we're closing in on her.

Senku and Gen...

If you set your minds to it, nobody can escape your gaze.

It's smooth sailing from here.

We just keep extrapolating her route up the mountain path.

You can leave the rest to me.

The ball's in my court now!

Once speed and eyesight come into play,

it's my gaze they can't escape!

Th-There she is.

One of Ishigami Village's distant cousins.

A member of our sister tribe.

Is she hostile?

Or friendly?

There's even a chance that she's the one who petrified everyone on the ship.

I-I have to remember...

Something, anything!

Either way, our only option is to make contact and get some answers.

Through the power of science, we've finally found it.

The key to reviving all of humanity is right in front of us.

A resident of the treasure island, in the flesh!

She's young, all right. Bingo!

What do we do? Capture her?

No. Let's try being friendly first.

We'll coax her into joining us, then?

Exactly.

We don't want to squander our only lead.

If we can squeeze the location of the platinum out of her,

it's game, set, match and we win.

This could be tricky, going up against such a disarming young beauty.

Time for this mentalist to prove his mettle.

Please marry me!

What did we walk in on?

She's cute...

I guess it would be, uh, rude to interrupt, right?

Yeah! This might give us some insight into their society, too.

I wanna see who she chooses!

Aren't you a little too excited about this?

Hush! You're ruining the best part!

O-Oh, dear me. What should I do?

My heart's pounding so fast, so forgive me if I say something silly, but...

You've all made me so happy.

I don't know why you'd ever want a girl like me.

"A girl like you"? What nonsense, Amaryllis!

No one else on this island could hold a candle to your beauty!

Are you really just a big softie beneath that tough exterior, Soyuz-chan?

But alas, it is my fate to join the master's harem tomorrow.

I'm sure you understand, right?

You know what'll happen to all of us if we try to defy him.

Dammit! I should've known it was hopeless!

This is why we had to confess our feelings today! It was our last chance!

Looks like we picked the perfect woman to follow.

Ten billion points to us.

We've already started to learn a bit about the big bad of this island.

Amaryllis-chan, was it?

She truly is a beauty.

And it seems like we might have a common enemy, too.

In that case, she might willingly lead us to our prize.

Assuming she knows where it is, that is.

Of course, the first impression greatly affects our chance of success,

so we have to approach this delicately.

Know anything about a space capsule?

That's way too blunt!

It's Senku, what do you expect?

He just wants to get the answer as efficiently as possible.

Well, not that I mind.

We don't have time to pull our punches, seeing as our friends are sitting petrified on that boat.

If push comes to shove, some cold steel should loosen her tongue.

You really don't mess around when your friends are in danger, do you, Kohaku-chan?

Who are they?

I've never seen any of them before.

Does that mean they're from the palace?

Are you here to take me to the master?

I thought that was tomorrow.

Master?

Is that ringing any bells, Soyuz-chan?

Are you the master?

I love you!

Such might, and such kind eyes! It almost feels like they're embracing me!

Could this be love at first sight?

Soyuz!

He's been petrified!

You aren't the master?

N-N-No. Sorry, miss.

Your face seems kind of familiar, though.

And these three don't appear to be from this island, so I just assumed.

Master?

Is that like a leader?

Then, if I had to say, I guess he's our master.

I love you!

Such might... well, maybe not so much...

Such kind... actually, they look pretty evil.

Such intelligent eyes!

Could this be love at...

...first sight? Yeah, yeah, whatever.

Just tell me where the capsule is.

She's met her match.

He's resisting my charm!

But I thought my plan was foolproof!

How is this even possible?

I'm cute, aren't I?!

Sorry to say, but Senku-chan is immune to those kind of tactics.

Check back when civilization is revived.

I, however, am not immune.

And oh, guess what I just remembered?

I'm actually the master.

I love—

You almost had me for a second there.

Damn.

If you want a hug so badly, how about one from me?

I'll pass.

I'd prefer my spine to stay intact, thank you very much.

So you aren't here to take me to the master?

Which village are you from, then?

O-Oh no...

What's all the commotion about?

Where are you going, Amaryllis?

I have to get back to my village!

We've got no choice but to fight back!

The master... I mean, that damn tyrant is going down!

Let's do this, guys!

They're rioting!

The thought of losing Amaryllis has driven them mad!

They can gather all the men they want, but it's pointless!

They're just gonna get us all turned to stone!

What should we do?

I guess I'll just have to cut them down.

That's our only choice.

If you do that, you'll ruin everything!

Nobody here would ever trust us again!

Well, got a better idea?

Gen, we're whipping out our trump card.

Science's very own riot control gear: chloroacetone.

Guess most people just know it as tear gas, though.

Take a deep breath and chill out!

Incredible...

Was that sorcery?

Just who are these people?

We don't have time to pull our punches, seeing as our friends are sitting petrified on that boat.

I should tell you...

I know the secret of the petrification beam.

I thought if I dolled myself up and infiltrated the master's harem,

I could exploit that secret to defeat him.

In order to protect everyone here,

I've resolved to become the island's most stunning beauty.

I beg of you, aid me in my struggle!

With your help, we can defeat him!
