One finished drone, here we come!

All right, one little splash should do it.

Whoa, whoa! Hang on, Senku-chan!

For once, I'm not complaining about your lack of gravitas.

Well, that's a problem, too, but...

Just look at Kaseki-chan's back. Doesn't it seem like something's missing?

You're right!

That?

It's no biggie. The revival process will patch it up in a jiffy.

It'll definitely leave a big scar, though.

Like the one on your and Gen's faces.

But, Senku and Gen's scars are pretty cool.

This just looks like...

That'd be terrible!

Nobody's gonna care about something like that in this primitive stone world.

Um, some of us care!

Fine. Guess we'll just have to wait 'til Taiju gets back.

Wait...

Where is Taiju?

Check it out, guys! I snagged a boatload of stone body parts!

B-But how?

We don't have any more oxygen tanks.

Hm? I just held my breath!

I already knew where they were, so it only took a few minutes!

Holding my breath for that long is easy-peasy!

When it comes to endurance, I'm your man!

But which fragment is the one Kaseki-chan's missing?

No idea! I'd better just haul up everything!

Hang on!

I know your endurance is next-level, Taiju, but trying to dredge up everything on your own is—

It's no sweat!

But I can only carry so much at a time,

so this is gonna take a few hundred trips!

S-Since you're grabbing a "boatload" of parts, why don't we use an actual boat?

Good point!

A few hundred trips? He said that like it was nothing...

The looks on your faces are gold! You still don't get just how crazy Taiju really is!

I think I finally am starting to get it.

You and Taiju-chan seem to be polar opposites, but it's obvious now why you get along so well.

I never would've thought of using the boat!

C'mon, let's get a move on!

S-Sure.

You share that same resilient spirit in the face of adversity.

This one fits perfectly, right into Kaseki's poop hole!

You're not wrong, per se, but please don't call it a "poop hole"!

Okay, we good? Splashy-splashy time.

Oh, c'mon! Where's the gravitas?

Couldn't we have given him some actual clothes, at least?

Seaweed is more than enough.

Messed up, man!

So that's what it feels like to be turned to stone, huh?

Getting to experience it for the first time was so darn exciting!

Ah, of course! This is a first for the people of Ishigami Village!

I dunno if I'd call it "exciting", though...

Suffering alone in the dark, paralyzed, not knowing when or if you'll ever be freed.

Suffering?

Far from it, my friend!

I was having a nice, relaxing time.

After all, I knew you fellas would break me outta there with some science!

The weird part is how great I feel! Spry as a spring chicken!

What's the deal?

Oh, that's the restorative effect.

An old fossil like you probably had arthritis and stuff like that, which it cured.

It just so happens that I've got the perfect job for our new and improved Kaseki-sama.

Whatcha got for me?

A drone.

D-D-D-Drone?!

Right, how could I forget?!

This is why you said the seaweed was enough, isn't it?!

How am I supposed to do anything when my sweet little mobile lab looks like this?

Tee-hee.

Yep, we're gonna need to fix that first.

Now, then...

Any drone worth its weight has gotta have some propellers!

Yeah, propellers do seem rather essential.

The blades need to literally be light as a feather!

First, we take some genuine bird feathers and coat them in a bit of plastic to make them rigid.

Then, we make the final adjustments by hand.

I'll skip the lecture on propulsion and lift dynamics. It's easier to just test it and see for yourself.

Right, one more thing!

The key to making this all work is a fidget spinner!

Yeah, clearly a vital component.

Wait, is it, though?! Why do we need a freakin' toy?!

It's ten billion percent vital.

Remember how much our crappy motors from before rattled around?

Ball bearings are the key to preventing that.

They give support to axles, allowing for high-speed rotation.

A true cornerstone of modern machinery.

You know Leonardo da Vinci, right? He's actually the one who invented them.

Er, I suppose I've heard of him, yes...

But only as the painter of the Mona Lisa.

He was one of the old masters, both in the arts and the sciences.

Every now and then, somebody mind-bogglingly talented like him comes along.

Well, y'know, I'd probably put you in that category, too.

First, we take some roughly ball-shaped chunks of steel,

chuck 'em in these tubes with some rocks, and spin 'em real fast so they get nice and polished.

Now we've got tons of little pachinko balls.

Soon enough, we'll be making pachinko machines, right?

Sure, maybe sometime in the next ten billion years.

Next, we sort 'em by size using these holes.

And once we've got enough of the same size...

The structure's simple enough,

but making it with the parts and equipment here is gonna be tough.

Hey! We finally grabbed the last of 'em!

The Kingdom of Science finally has her master craftsman back!

Chrome!

Francois!

Ukyo!

Who?

Seems like we brought back a stranger by mistake.

I just grabbed every piece I could find!

A victim of the petrification, huh? No telling from how long ago, though.

Regardless, we now have our entire crew, who were all petrified before even stepping ashore.

As of this moment, the entire Kingdom of Science has officially made landfall!

Yeah, that's right.

At long last.

Everybody's on dry land now, but we still can't wake them all up yet, can we?

We can only make revival fluid so quickly, after all.

And unfortunately, we don't have time to sit around and wait.

The enemy's bound to find this grotto eventually.

And when they do, they'll toss that weapon at us from the outside,

and it'll be game over for real!

Which means we need to nab the weapon outta the air before they can find the hideout.

Once we steal it from them, who cares if we're outnumbered?

We can beat 'em with the power of science.

Everything hinges on the drone.

So, can you do it, Kaseki?

Do you even have to ask?

My entire life has been leading up to this moment!

Ya don't think I dedicated fifty years to this craft for nothing, do ya?

I-It's really flying!

On its own, just like a bird!

Yeah, uh, it's still in beta testing.

Gotta work out the kinks.

O-Oh...

Oh god, please no!

I don't wanna meet the master!

C'mon, guys!

At least come with me!

How many times do I have to say no?!

You're the one who got summoned, Ginro!

This is our big chance!

Don't forget the mission, Ginro!

We're here to learn all we can about the enemy.

Get friendly with the master and extract some intel!

If you can, maybe even take him hos—

You really think I could do something that insane?!

Relax, will you? You're a man, so it's not like he's gonna try to make a move on you.

That's some wishful thinking, Kohaku-chan! Could you be any more naïve?!

Say, Kohaku-chan...

That intruder Ibara mentioned before...

It's you, isn't it?

Now that that's out of the way, why don't you tell me where your allies are hiding?

Oh, right!

I almost forgot about this!

The ace up my sleeve: this pineapple!

Listen up, beauty queens. I'm prepping something in case you get summoned by the master.

I don't even wanna think about that.

You'll just need to bide your time and find an opportunity to use this.

A pineapple?

The pineapple's just a container.

What's important is the ethyl acetate inside.

Back in the day, bug collectors used it to kill and preserve their specimens.

All you need is alcohol, vinegar, and a drop of our old friend, sulfuric acid.

Yuck!

The heck is that?!

Hm? It just smells like an ordinary pineapple to me.

Yeah, the chemical compound has a similar aroma.

You southern islanders would just assume it's an overripe pineapple.

It ain't deadly, but it certainly ain't harmless, either.

Don't try this one at home, kids.

It'll make your head spin for days.

Hope you don't mind us taking a look around!

Is this thing really gonna work?

U-Um, hello there...

It's Ginro—Er, Gin-chan.

Enter.

S-S-So, uh, actually, I just happened to wind up here by chance!

O-Or, uh, that's not quite true, but...

Um, p-p-please don't be mad, but, well, the truth is that, um, I'm actually a...

You called, Master?

Yes, indeed.

I understand.

The usual, then?

You needn't be so nervous, Gin-chan.

But, you know, I can't leave you alone with the master until you've been vetted, now can I?

So before that, this old man will just have to teach you a thing or two about love.

Satisfy me, and the master is all yours!

Now, now, there's nothing to fear...

Like I was trying to say, I'm actually a boy!

Yes, I can see that. A tomboy, right?

Does that mean you'll put up a good fight?

Excellent!

Terrible!

Even if I were the intruder,

do you really think I'd reveal the location of my allies without putting up a fight?

She's got a weapon! What are you trying to pull, harem girl?!

Yes, it's just as I thought. You truly are strong, Kohaku-chan.

So many!

No mercy, men! Kill 'er dead!

Kill?

Who said you could kill her?

I'd never let such beauty go to waste.

The harem is my plaything.

Don't you ever forget that.

Moz is in a league of his own.

Though I suppose that's to be expected of the petrification kingdom's strongest warrior, right?

Still, there's no doubt I'm currently the strongest card in our kingdom's deck.

If I don't stop him here, who will?

Like I said when we first met, I'm always ready for a fight!

What's all that ruckus about?

Now's my chance!

Is that... pineapple?

Or, wine?

Suddenly, I'm just... so dizzy...

Yes! Time to hightail it outta—

You blew it! That was our only chance to get some real intel!

If I don't at least get a good look at the master, Kohaku-chan's gonna kill me!

Huh?

It's too dark to really see, but that face looks kinda familiar...

Soyuz?

He's petrified!

You saw, didn't you?

Wh-Who, me? N-N-Nope, didn't see a thing.

You mustn't lie, now!

Kohaku-chan and Moz are dueling!

Being as strong as you are, surely you've realized by now, right?

You're hopelessly outmatched.

Even if you had dozens of fighters with you, you wouldn't stand a chance.

That was obvious before we even crossed blades.

You don't need to lecture me.

What are you even trying to achieve, anyway?

You think you can break my spirit? Make me sell out my allies?

Would you prefer we skip this and get straight to the fun part?

I promise you'll love it so much that you'll be dying to spill everything.

I don't mind a strong girl, as long as she's got a cute face.

How about you, Kohaku-chan? What's your type?

Perhaps a man like me?

I'm pretty damn strong, aren't I?

I, for one, value strength of character.

Someone who follows their ideals, step-by-painstaking-step.

Who keeps chiseling away at their dream, piece-by-piece.

That's the kind of man I'd fall for.

I guess that's too bad for you, Moz.

It seems you really aren't my type, after all.

And it seems the only thing that's cute about you...

is your face.

You're not the first girl to discover the truth.

You know, I always hate this part.

These old bones certainly don't relish the killing, but, alas...

No freakin' way!

Oh, thank god!

Kohaku-chan's still here!

I'm saved!

Special Technique: Not My Problem!

Kohaku-chan!

Help me!

Hey, Kohaku-chan!

Ginro! Behind you!

Ginro!

Ibara's claws pierced through multiple organs.

There's no way he can recover from this.

I know what you're about to say!

You want me to stop the pain by putting you out of your misery, right?

Well, I refuse! There's gotta be another way!

The master... is a statue.

He looks just like Soyuz.

Soyuz might be his...

Ginro...

Great job getting that intel!

Ahhh... I guess this is it, huh? I know there's no saving me now.

But, I'm supposed to be a village gatekeeper. Maybe even a warrior, on a good day.

So, if nothing else, I had to at least be cool at the very end.

'Til next time, Kinro.

You're right, Ginro.

You're beyond saving.

There's only one thing I can do now.

Kohaku-chan! Ginro!

Listen up, everyone!

Your master is actually...

You mustn't be deceived by that villain's lies!

The master's power will soon be upon us!

Unless you want to be turned to stone, shield your eyes right away!

It doesn't matter one bit if our eyes are opened or closed.

He just doesn't want them to know the truth of the petrification!

Ah, I think I get it now.

You wanted them to use the weapon on us.

You always were a quick thinker at times like this, Kohaku-chan.

You got it, Ginro.

Before your life fades, we'll get them to petrify us.

Healing you with revival fluid is our only option!

I can see it.

With my superior eyesight,

I've now seen Medusa's true face.

You were right, Senku.

It's not some kind of fantasy power or curse without rules.

The petrification weapon, Medusa...

is science.

It's up to you now, Amaryllis.

You have to get back to everyone else.

They need to know the secrets we uncovered!

In a battle of science, there's no way in hell we can lose.

All that's left now is to sit tight, and have faith in Senku and his science.

Yeah.

I'm sure we'll be just fine.
