Knowledge is love

Part 30: Welcome back and you brought an ally

They ran all the way out of the Tsukasa empire and when they deemed it safe, they walked for the rest of the way. They were so tired but they knew they had to keep moving.

Y/n hears some movement in some bushes and she points the bamboo towards it. Chrome grit his teeth since he really didn't want to fight right now. Thankfully it wasn't an enemy but Kohaku.

Y/n chuckled as she got deja vu. "This feels familiar."

"You guys actually escaped," Kohaku said happily. She runs up to them and hugs both of them. "I was so worried."

"Sorry we made you guys worry," Chrome apologized.

"But I'm surprised you guys knew where to go," Kohaku admitted.

"To be honest we didn't," y/n admitted. "We just went in the direction we saw Suika go when she was scouting. We were honestly hoping you guys would find us."

Kohaku laughed. "That's fair. Come on, you two look like you need a nap so let's go."

Chrome was very tired from running so Kohaku helped him walk as y/n had the help of the bamboo to walk but she also wasn't as tired. After a walk, instead of going to the Ishigami village, Kohaku took them to a nearby camp area. Apparently the Kingdom of Science was camping out to get ready for the war and to rescue y/n and Chrome.

"Chrome and y/n are back," Suika yelled out.

This alerted everyone else that their captured friends were back. Kohaku kept her hold on Chrome as the villagers surrounded them , welcoming them back and wanting answers. Suika cried as she jumped into y/n's arms.

"Nice to see you guys back," Gen welcomed. "But how did you guys manage to get out?"

"Oh that, with my awesome science and y/n's amazing weapon skills. It was like seriously bad," Chrome barged. "I just made some of that melting chemical stuff with salt water and battery. Sodium hydroxide"

"That was the plan but since he used sweat, it was more like Sodium hypochlorite," y/n corrected. "But it still got the job done so it's not important."

"Leave it to the Scientist's wife to know Science," Gen asked.

"Well what else would you expect?"

They then notice Senku approaching them. Gen then reminded Senku that they were doing something similar. Turns out they were making a full on, paper-armored tank to rescue them. Using a similar process to make the paper like how Chrome made the chemical for them to escape.

Gen then asked how did they even managed to get the battery. Y/n said that someone just gave it to her in the middle of the night but she didn't know who it was. Chrome states that it had to be Taiju and Yuzuriha but both y/n and Senku said it was unlikely.

Old Man Kaseki then brings the tank they named the Steam Gorilla to them. Y/n was impressed since it was very well made and very impressive. But Chrome, being a guy, instantly fell in love with it. And now since they didn't have to use the to save y/n and Chrome, now it could be used for the final battle. The battle to take control of the miracle cave. So with Taiju and the other's doing their part, it was up to Gen's skills to bring Tsukasa's people over to their side.

"Be honest with me, Gen," Chrome said. "This impersonation thing, you sure it'll work?"

"Thanks to Nikki the super fan's coaching style, I can finally reproduce Lillian's voice perfectly," Gen said.

Y/n chuckled. "She must be quite the teacher."

"You have no idea," Gen sighed. "But it will still be better if it doesn't reach Ukyo's uper-say sensitive ears. We have to be really careful he doesn't find out."
