If love took the form of a door, Senku would never leave. If love took the form of spring, you would be kissing dandelions into the breeze.
Maybe if you did it enough times, Senku would grow curious from watch...

Senku was starting to wonder why you were taking so long to arrive. Then he realized he and Chrome practically rushed to the river to take a dip before collecting the iron sand needed.
But he recalls you talking about grabbing another piece of magnet as well as packed food for everyone.
Still, that doesn't fully explain why you were taking this long.
Then you arrived with a kid and a dog.
"The hell... I left you alone for a bit and suddenly you adopted not only a kid, but also a dog?" Senku sweats as he sees the way the unknown kid clutch at your clothes in a nervous manner. "What's next, you're gonna find a man to marry to complete a happy family?"
"Suika?" Kohaku and Chrome drew closer to you, surprised to see the kid walking alongside you with Chalk. "What are you doing here?"
"Suika said she wants to help us." You explain as you place down the wrapped food on a clean surface.
"Y/n told me about this kind of magic called science..." Senku baffles at this, you only shrug at him. "She said it can explain a lot of things here, and that you were going to use it to make medicine for big sister Ruri."
Kohaku blinks at the girl. "You also want to help Ruri."
Suika nodded. "I don't know anything about medicine, but everyone in the village is always worrying for big sister Ruri. Kohaku works everyday to make a warm bath for her, and Chrome is always trying out new things to cure her." Suika continues, looking up at the three. "T-That's why Suika wants to help too! I want to be helpful to everyone too—"
"Yeah, I get it. Cut the sappy stuff out. Is this your influence on the kid or something?" Senku then turned to you, before lightening Suika's gloomy mood with a chuckle. "Everyone is welcomed in the Kingdom of Science. Every bit of help is appreciated."
Suika glows at this. Senku then made his way to you and the kid, leaning down to give Suika the magnet he's been using. This washes down a wave of joy over the young girl.
"We're counting on you, Suika."
You share a similar smile for the girl. "I told you he'd be thankful. No matter how much he tries to sound mean, Senku's very kindhearted, you know?"
Suika nodded. "You and him are the first ones to not ask me why I'm wearing a melon on my head!"
"He's really sweet, isn't he? Like watermelons."
"I can't seem to find what's exactly sweet about this guy." Kohaku sweats, hearing you talk about Senku in a different light than what she's more used to witnessing.
"He just does the things that would be more useful along the way." Chrome agreed.
"You're talking shit about me to my face?" Senku glared at the two villagers.
