Suika came back in a panic, saying she found the culprit to Gen's murder.
"He's not dead though." Senku said.
"Oh my god!" you leaned closer to her. "Who killed him?! I'll never forget the sacrifice he did for us!"
He sighed, smiling.

She talked about how she heard Magma yapping about his victory over 'the outsider sorcerer', he must've confused Gen for Senku, and his goal to kill Kohaku but also maybe marry her along with her sister. When you asked her what the fuck was this lunatic's problem, Kohaku explained that it was because of the village games. A tradition to choose who will marry the village's priestess, her sister Ruri. She beat him to the ground and her father was so mad at her because of that. You and Senku laughed at that anecdote.

Because Kohaku obviously wasn't going to marry her sister, it was decided that the village games would start again in a month. It was the perfect way to approach Ruri and give her the cure-all, so someone from the Kingdom of Science had to win. So she took it upon herself to train Kinrou and Ginrou, who, after a heart-warming moment, agreed to help in order to save Ruri.
Kohaku apologized to Chrome, saying she really wanted to train him, but those two had the most chances to win amoung you. In another heart warming moment, he said he didn't mind as long as Ruri was cured, only natural for a scientist. You 'aww'ed like crazy to this, so happy he now called himself that.

"So what crazy insane science are we doing next?!" he asked.
"Yeah," you looked at Senku. "what's next on the list?"
"In order to create civilization," he said. "there is a material that is just as important as iron."
You narrowed your eyes, going through all the possibilities in your head to try and guess it before he said it.
"The first hand-made material in history...glass."
"Dammit." you whispered.

"Wait...now?" Chrome asked. "We have electricity, weren't we gonna make all kinds of medicines?"
"We will. But in order to make the cure-all sulfamide, earthenware won't be able to handle the fun chemistry experiments we'll be doing." he explained. "But glass is able to withstand most chemicals. It's the very starting point of chemistry." his serious expression lighted up. "Kukuku also, with glass... We can finally take off that damn thing, so that the mysterious true face of Ace Detective Suika-sama can be revealed!"
The young girl gasped, and before she could say anything, Senku took off her watermelon helmet with the most carefree of smile.

"Wha-Senku!" you exclaimed as Chrome was in pure shock. "That's just rude!"
'You don't get a pass just because you made a really fuckin cute face!'
"You know Suika's uncomfortable showing her face!" Kohaku added, running over once she saw what he did.
"Look at her, it's not like there was any reason to hide it."

You both looked and your eyes widen when you saw her big brown eyes,  blond bob haircut and round face.
"Oh wow, Suika!" you smiled.
"You're so cuuuuute!" Kohaku cupped her face with her hands.
A few seconds passed before Suika's face completely twisted, her eyes squinting like crazy. You laughed at Chrome and Kohaku's reaction.

"Suika's eyes..." she said, taking back her watermelon. "they have blurry disease. I can only see faint, fuzzy images of things, and if I try to see them better, my face ends up like this and it's embarrassing." she put her helmet back on, instantly regaining her cheerful mood. "But if I wear this, somehow it gets easier!"
"How can that be?" you asked Senku.
"Must be the pinhole effect." he said. "By peering through a hole, light squeezes through it, slightly putting things in focus."
"Oh~."

"Does Suika's disease and glass have anything to do with each-other?" Chrome asked.
"They have ten billion percent everything to do with each-other!" he exclaimed.
"And it's not a disease!" you added. "She's just myopic!"
"Myo...huh?"

"Suika listen." you kneeled in front of her, who was also pretty confused. "Back in our modern world, lots of people had the same problem, but it's not a problem at all. We have something called glasses." you made circles with your indexes and thumbs and placed them in front of your eyes, smiling. "You put them on, and they allow you to see clearly. They're so everywhere that even people who don't need them put them on to look cool!"
