Rivalry (Ishigami Senku x Reader)

Chapter 17

Three days went by, in which Tsukasa revived a lot of muscular men, who were pretty dense. Lucky for you that they are easy to intimidate and easy to trick. There were also some other people.

"So, Tsukasa-chan. Who will be revived oday-tay?" Gen asked him as Tsukasa lead you two to the cave again. Luckily Tsukasa didn't know that you, Taiju, and Yuzuriha didn't know each other. That was why you stayed with Gen most of the time. Also observing him if he exposes you in any kind.

"Today it will be a little more people. The miracle fluid is enough for three people." He said and smiled. "What do you think about a Judo ace, a policeman, and a Navy technician? Our dear Minami helped us find someone since she's the best person to find information." He told you two and you nodded.

You rarely saw that Minami woman but you decided to not talk to her much. She adored Tsukasa a little too much and could also know your real name if she takes a close look at you since she knows what she's talking about as an ex reporter woman. "That sounds wonderful, dear Tsukasa-chan!" Gen said and Tsukasa smiled.

"Did you take the clothes Yuzuriha prepared for the next three people?" Tsukasa asked you and you nodded. "Yes, she did a good job." You said and he nodded. "Good then. Let's revive them."

Soon enough, those three people were revived and you closed your eyes, giving them the clothes to wear. "It's cute how you always close your eyes, Maddy-chan." Gen giggled and you waited for them to take on the clothes. "Thank you for the clothes...But what happened?? Where am I and who are you?" A female voice asked and you opened your eyes to see a tall strong woman looking at you.

"Maddy, Gen, it would be good if each one of us takes one of them and explains the situation. The policeman comes with me, the Navy technician with Gen and the Judo ace with Maddy." Tsukasa suggested and you nodded. "So you are Maddy?" The woman asked and you nodded. You gestured her to follow you and took a little walk with her together.

"Well, what was the last thing you saw before everything turned black?" You asked her and she hummed in thought. "I think it was the Lillian Weinberg Livestream. She went to space, you know? Do you know Lillian Weinberg?" She asked you and you stopped, looking at her with a surprised face. It was so long since you last heard that name...

You couldn't help but smile. "Yes, I know her. She's my role model when it comes to music." You told her and she smirked. "Ohhh really? What was her third single?" She asked and you didn't hesitate. "Love your heart. July 14th 2009 it was published." You said and that woman laughed. "Hey, you are good! You even considered the delay because of the technical difficulties of her label!" She said and you giggled. "That was too easy for a question."

And like this...your talk about what happened went on for two sentences and turned to you and her fangirling and enthusing over your favorite singer. You two also finally introduced each other and came along pretty well. "Hahaha, I like you, Maddy! If we would have met in the modern age, I would have taken you to one of her concerts!"

You smiled and sat down on a small rock, looking up at the sky. "Because of reasons, I never had time to do things like gaming or having fun, until one of my best friends forced me to. But there was one thing I loved to do. I sometimes gave concerts of her on my own, through my voice." You admitted and she rose her brow in confusion. "What do you mean?"

You patted next to you on the rock, telling her to sit down next to you. As she did that, you started to sing your favorite Lillian Weinberg song "One step closer." You forgot your surroundings and sang with all of your heart, enjoying the freedom you felt. You remembered all of your attempts to record a song you wrote by yourself, remembered the chat you had with Senku when you talked about music, frightening him with some metal songs you enjoyed and remembered the time you also sang for him. Singing now...remembering that moment...made you feel as if he was next to you, listening to you singing.
