Dr. Stone Senku x OC

Chapter 17

***Let me start off by saying I'M SO SORRY!! I had no inspiration for the past two days. I know that I promised a chapter on Monday but I had writer's block. I apologize and I do have two more chapters for this week besides this one to hopefully make up for the lack of updates. Thank you all for reading this story it means a lot to me. I can't believe this story is at 7K reads. Thank you all. You guys voting and commenting really motivate me to continue writing and yeah. Look forward to two more chapters this week.*** ~MiniChewiereads

   "Tell me Senku! Tell me how to make cure-all medicine!" Chrome yells out.

"I'll totally defeat Ruri's illness! If it's to cure my sister I'll cooperate however I can!" Kohaku yells out.

Senku makes a scary face making Miku elbow him.

"Senku we want people to like us," Miku sighs and continues, "The one thing that will help create the Kingdom of science is Antibiotics. They eradicate the bacteria that plague the human body. The cure-all of science!"

"Since its discovery in the 20th century, it has saved the lives of hundreds of thousands of people. We can't do a blood test or discover the name of the disease. However, making her take some is worth a shot!!" Senku explains.

"Alright! In that case, let's make it right now!" Chrome exclaimed.

"What do we need?!" Kohaku asks.

"Ummm well, we don't have the ingredients," Miku says sadly.

"Exactly so listen up. Somehow, the "act first" mentality you guy have reminds me of a certain blockhead," Senku says.

Miku giggles at Senku's comment.

"There are two ways to make this cure-all. We can make penicillin from organic matter or we can make a sulfur drug from rocks," Senku explains.

"Organic matter? Stone? How can you make medicine out of that?" Kohaku asks.

"The most famous example is making penicillin out of blue mold. Because penicillin is so incredibly useful, Sulfur drugs were lost in the shadow of history. However, in this Stone world, the bio-route of penicillin is like expecting to win the lottery. On the other hand, we have the Sulfur drug route. In this Stone world, even though we need an insane amount of patience and effort, with one billion percent certainty, we'll arrive at our cure-all." Senku states.

"If that's so, then the answer is already clear!" Chrome yells out.

Miku smiles at Senku, 'He really knows how to motivate people.'

Senku drew our a road map and let's just say that Kohaku was in shock and Chrome was even more pumped up than before.

"Oh I guess we've got to start with that "Iron" thing," Chrome says.

"Well it's not going to be easy to get it," Miku says.

That night with the help of Miku Senku explained to Kohaku and Chrome a little bit of science.

"Totally awesome!" Chrome yells, "The Earth is spinning?! Amazing!"

"Yep that's right," says Miku while lying down next to an exhausted Senku.

"That's so weird. Then why am I not thrown off this branch right now?" Kohaku asks.

"Cause of something called gravity," Senku replies.

"I've always thought it was strange how that star never moves," Chrome commented.

"The North star right? That bright one. It's one billion percent likely to be in the true North so it's hella useful. You better remember it," Senku states.

"Is that how it is?" Chrome questions.

"True North seems slightly off if you ask me," Kohaku comments.

"That's not possible, the margin of error is..." Senku starts to say but stops.

Senku takes a moment to realize that over the course of 3,700 years the Earth's axis has tilted.

"Kukuku This science-er is astonished to hear this. Overlooking something like this is because of my preconceived notions, isn't it? These two are a hell of a lot more observant than me huh? What a useless guy I am," Senku says.

"Ha! Looking at you Senku I don't see someone useless," Kohaku says.

Miku goes behind Senku and wraps her arms around him. She buries her red face in his back and says, "It's ok Senku. We're just in a different time period. You still have a vast knowledge of science. You just have to adapt that knowledge to this time period."

Senku smiles and places a hand over Miku's, "Thank you Miku."

Senku's heart skips a beat. Normally, he wouldn't really like this affection but for some reason Senku likes it when Miku shows him affection. He shakes his head thinking she's just trying to be a good friend and cheer him up. Although he pushes his current thoughts to the back of his head he lets Miku continue to hug him.

Senku looks over at Chrome and asks, "Huh? Just now, how did you know that original North star was shifted?"

"Ohh?! It seems even our Senku doesn't recognize this stone! I happened across it on a barren mountain! It's a super amazing stone!! If you suspend it or float it, somehow it always manages to point perfectly North. Isn't it amazing!?" Chrome explains.

Miku rushes over and yells out, "Look Senku a magnet!! We can build a compass with this!"

"Not only that Miku but we can use it to collect iron sand," Senku says while patting Miku head.

Miku realizes what tomorrow they will be doing. And she wasn't looking forward to it.
