''If nothing else, we... gotta dig a grave for Senku.'' Ginro said as he wiped the tears from his eyes.

Ryusui turned to him and snapped his fingers, ''Don't you bury him just yet!''

''Heh. Heh. Heh. I ain't dead yet you dummies.'' Senku managed to mumble. 'The fragments pass through me, nice and clean.''

''Nice and clean, says Master Senku.'' Francois repeated his words.

''Don't force yourself to talk, buddy! You need to rest!'' Taiju said as he and the butler cleaned his wounds and try to stop the bleeding.

''Yesssssss! He's ali-'' Ginro was cut off by Matsukaze, who put a hand over the blonde's mouth, effectively shutting him up.

''Forgive me, my Lord.''

''Shouting loud for the enemy to hear isn't nice.''

''So this slowed the bullet down? This bag and some water.'' Kaseki said as he inspected the mixture. ''Isn't that something?''

''A headshot would have been ten billion percent instant deah. For all they know, I was the only one with the revival fluid memorized... so they probably wanted to give me a chance to spill the secret out on my deathbed. Somehow I knew that they will aim to my chest.'' Senku continued speaking.

''Didn't I told you to stop talking?''

'' 'Aim for the chest' he said.'' Francois stated, then said something in English. '' 'A headshot would have resulted in instant death.' ''

''Real time translation!''

''Should we go this way or no?'' Stanley asked in nowhere as [Name] slightly shook her head, indicating that they shouldn't.

''Let's go to the opposite direction, there is someone lurking there and we shouldn't engage in battle.''

His amber orbs stare at the gun in his hands and said, ''We have an advantage. Besides why shouldn't we-''

''Xeno told me.'' The h/c nette said with a sly smirk on her face. When she received no verbal answer, she laughed. ''I thought so. Now let's go or we'll get caught.''

On their way back, Stanley voiced out his frustrations while [Name] played along while her e/c colored eyes darted from on place to another, a frown etched on her face

'Am I mistaken?' she thought to herself before a sound of engine reaches her ears. It's not that loud, actually, it's barely audible since the Haber-bosch plant is up and running.

'Me? There's no way I'm wrong! I'm sure of it.'

"Dr. Xeno and his people think by killing Senku, they've removed that scientific threat. Which means they could show up at any time and demand our surrender."

Magma is obviously against the idea, "Surrender? Those fools think we'll just give up?"

"We might not want to, but what choice do we have?"
