{Nobody's POV}
As night time arrived, Senku and Y/N were collecting the materials needed to create gunpowder. Meanwhile, Taiju and Yuzuriha were sitting in the hot springs, from which a fence separated them. At first, they wanted to help their friends with the collecting, but in the end Senku convinced them to go and relax for now. When morning arrived, Y/N and Senku completed their task. The group formed a circle, before Senku chuckled and placed down a pile of charcoal.
"The 3 main raw materials for the gunpowder have been gathered." Senku then announced.
"You two have gathered them all?" Taiju asked in amazement.
"Next, we just need to mix them together." Senku said, as his grin slowly widened.
"Now, here comes the fun gunpowder mixing time." He added.
With that, the atmosphere changed and so it felt as if the setting also did. It looked as if it turned into a cooking class, also known as Senku's kitchen. Taiju was the camera man, while Senku, Yuzuriha and Y/N were going to show the whole "cooking" process.
"The first ingredient for gunpowder is the limitless supply of sulphur from the hot spring." Senku began explaining. Yuzuriha proceeded to pour a bucket of sulphur into a large sack.
"Second, charcoal. We can easily get this by burning some wood." Senku continued with Y/N who was already adding a bunch of charcoal one by one.
"And third, the last and the most difficult one, potassium nitrate. It's very time-consuming to make this." The young scientist added, before he and Y/N lifted up a bag of white powder.
"We've prepared potassium nitrate in advance!" Senku declared.
Taiju let out an exciting yell, even though his face said otherwise. The male had a rather puzzled look on his face, as he glanced up and began thinking.
"Nitrate? I think I've heard that before. It's nitric acid! The Miracle Fluid! Did you take it from the cave?" Taiju loudly questioned Senku.
"You're right for once, simpleton. Ten billion points for you!" The young scientist answered with.
Y/N then proceeded to add potassium nitrate into the mixture, before Senku took a stick and started the stirring process.
"Mix potassium nitrate, sulphur, and charcoal. With a pinch of sugar, it'll increase its power." Senku said. Although, instead of sugar, he poured another liquid into the mixture from a bottle in their inventory.
"By the way, this is glucose extracted from grapes." Senku explained. Finishing with the mixing, he tightly closed the sack before raising up a log high in the air and aiming it at the sack.
"Lastly, pound it hard until it forms a mass." He concluded.
As soon as Senku said that, Taiju grabbed a giant boulder and raised it right above the sack.
"Did you say pound it hard?! Leave the hard work on me!" The latter exclaimed, catching everyone else off guard, even the silent Y/N. Yuzuriha got worried and quickly stepped in.
"That's not a good idea. Given your physical strength, won't it produce sparks and cause an explosion like flint?" Yuzuriha questioned.
"No, hitting stones against one another will not produce sparks." Senku reassured the girl.
"Really?" Yuzuriha asked in both surprise and confusion written all over her face.
Taiju then walked towards the sack and started pounding it with the boulder. Just like Senku said, there was no reaction.
