xiv. "when everything was right"

Senku hums, "So basically you told him about TUST and he believed it. You really got the guts of a theorist to make him believe you."

"TUST?" Yuzuriha and Taiju both looked at you and Senku in confusion.

"Y/n here had a theory that we aren't the only ones who have broken out of stone," Senku explained, before the two could expand on the subject, Senku directed the attention to something else. "We have to start progressing civilization if we want to stand a chance against Tsukasa. There's one invention that can fully stop his reign."

"Is it a smartphone?!"

"You must really like smartphones. But no, I'm talking about guns."

Guns?

"We're going to make gunpowder!" Senku grins evilly, something akin to that of a mad scientist. "Starting from now, we're warping our civilization ahead millions of years, this is exhilarating!"

"Very exciting." You smile nervously. So you were resorting to violence, cool. You'll gladly support what Senku decides on.

"We have to make Tsukasa think we ran off with our pants down at how scared we are." Senku explains as you three follow him up the tree house. "Time to start ruining a few things!"

"Are you sure?!" Taiju panics.

"It'll be a waste!" Yuzuriha's argument makes sense, you spent time making the house really comfortable.

"Don't worry, we only need to break the pots to make it believable—"

"Or..." You stop Senku's hand from reaching the pots at the side. "We can leave it be."

The three looked at you, Yuzuriha and Taiju agreeing almost immediately while Senku went quiet and listened.

"Wouldn't it be more believable if we didn't purposely break anything? It'll cause more confusion for Tsukasa whether we left temporarily or not." You explain to them.

"You sure that's the only reason you have?" Senku grins while putting down his arms back to his side.

"That, and also because..." You look inside the house. From the sleeping area to the curtains that were covering the window to keep the cold out, and even the remains of Trots' mud house, you only did it so you would all feel homely inside. "I wouldn't want the house to be messy."

You could already tell that Taiju was about to yell before he could even do it. "Y/n's right!!! We shouldn't ruin the same house that sheltered us!!"

"I agree! Even though I didn't really stay here, a home is still a home!" Yuzuriha followed in pursuit, though not as loud as Taiju, she was still lively.

Senku looked at you three in bewilderment. "I never meant we were ruining the house itself." Though his words were left unheard. "Fine, start packing you three! We're going on a trip to get the materials for making gunpowder, just eight kilometers away!"

"Oh!!! Where are we going?!"

"Hakone."

"Hakone!!! Hot springs!!"

"This isn't a road trip." Senku watches as you three celebrate. "Make sure to pack only the needed items. We're walking all the way there."

"I really think I should carry you." You say as Senku heaves tiredly, it wasn't even that far off from the camp yet.

"I told you, there's no need—" Senku was then interrupted when he tried to catch his breath once again.
