Accurate Sense × Inaccurate Judgement [Dr. Stone]

XXI- My Goal

The preparation for the battle was almost complete. The science-users, mainly Senku and Chrome, have completed the tanks. At the same time, Kohaku and the other tribesmen continued training, sharpening their skills with the improved weapons Senku had provided them.

"Any modern person who sees a tank around will instantly lose morale" Senku spoke with confidence.

Though his words were somewhat malicious intent, Kohaku let it slide. Although Gen looked somewhat a bit worried, "That's for sure."

"If we're going to take over without any casualties, we're going to need to make a lightning strike right after the first tank attack" Kohaku voiced out as she balled her fists.

"Yeah," she turned to the scientist. "Within the first half-minute of the battle for the miracle cave, we'll send in all of the Kingdom of Science's forces."

Every's attention then focused on the scientist as his eyes glistened with excitement. "And for that, we're going to need the number one, most overpowered, toughest man around... and one of the most agile and stubborn girls I know..."

They let out a gasp as a small group emerged out of the forest. Kohaku's eyes widened upon seeing a tall man with a well-built body walk towards them. Behind the man, was a hooded girl, short yet for some reason her eyes crossed hers- a sense of deep emotions hidden between the cerulean orbs.

"It's strange" Kohaku's eyes softened as she watched the group come closer. "I've never seen you before and yet I know your names... Taiju... Kaoru..."

For a moment, Kohaku caught a glimpse of Senku's expression softened upon seeing the group. It was no surprise if he missed them as well, they were his closest friends after all, especially to Kaoru. Kohaku had heard so much about the girl, her sense of smell, agility, and even somewhat her stubbornness when she was with Senku.

Kohaku envisioned the girl somewhat possessing a fierce and fiery personality, along with a scary face. Yet, she was surprised to spot a girl not far from her age, possessing a blank stare that was directed at the scientist.

"Senku!" Taiju yelled in tears as he ran towards the scientist, but he easily dodged the man. In return, he gave him a pat on the shoulder.

As much as Kohaku wanted to be disappointed at how the reunion went on, it seems Taiju was glad at it. The brown-haired girl, who Kohaku assumed was Yuzuriha, was moved to tears as well upon seeing Senku again. On the other hand, Kaoru was still in her place eyes widened.

"Seems your doing alright Yuzuriha" Senku commented. She smiled in response.

Everyone was eager to watch the scene unfold as Senku then turned to the hooded girl.

"So that's Kaoru" Kohaku heard Ginro whisper.

"Kaoru-nechan!" Suika squeaked. "The flightless angel!"

Gen let out a chuckle, "Indeed she is." The mentalist's attention turned to the two, "Now, this reunion has always been something they both have been waiting for. I wonder how this will unfold."

Kaoru looked up at the scientist with widened eyes. Crimson orbs met her cerulean ones.

"Yo, Kaoru" Senku finally spoke as he focused on the girl.

After a few moments of silence, a voice escaped her lips. "S-Senku..."

Kohaku could see that the girl about to be in tears. Kaoru clutched onto the hem of her skirt, slightly shaking.

"Senku" Her voice quivered. "I.."

Their attention was piqued even more.

"S-senku, I..."
