summary: In which xeno wingfield will finally meet stanley snyders's other friend from another state, but before can stanley introduce the two from each other, xeno already met her...?

Saturday, 11:31 am

☆

"hey xeno, wanna meet (y/n)?"

an 11-year-old stanley snyder asks xeno wingfield, who is getting everything he needs ready for his next rocket building project (xeno had previously created like several of rockets, its a long process of trial and error for him).

It's been three years since xeno first met stanley. they met when other kids mess with him, and stanley has to step in, and the rest is history. so back to the story.

In all honesty, xeno has no interest in making new 'friends' , to him, stan is more than enough of a friend because he consistently helps him in his little experiments. stan sometimes acts as his bodyguard too.

even so, stanley occasionally brings up this '(y/n)' whenever they discuss trivial matters. like:

"that's kinda remind me of (y/n) "

"(y/n) like this things too"

"sounds like (y/n) would do"

so I suppose xeno can't escape meeting with this '(y/n)', but he was not expecting seeing stanley's other friend so soon.

xeno answered nonchalantly, "oh? and when can I meet this other friend of yours?" while continuing with gathering his materials and papers. while stan waited for xeno to finish, he leaned his back against the door.

"well, she called me this morning that she will come visit me this next saturday, she will stay here with my family for the next four days" stanley replied.

"is that so... then Im looking forward to meeting (y/n) then" xeno said as he motion stanley to carry the heavy materials of his rocket to put it to a mini wagon cart.

☆

"tell me, stan, how did you meet (y/n) exactly?" xeno questions stan. together, the two is walking outside and reach the land of a nearby lake to launch xeno's new rocket. It's a perfect day to launch the rocket, with the proper humidity level and weather, and plenty of trees around that give them a peaceful and quiet scenery.

"ah well" stan paused for a moment, his eyes closed, and he leaned his head back to face the sun, pulling the cart in hand.

" we've known each other since we were babies. our old men has known each other since they were teenagers. so..."

"oh, I assume your fathers brought you together since then?" xeno stated as the two reached into their destination.

"yeah you can say that" then stanley picked up the rocket, helping xeno put it together and get ready for launching off into the blue sky.

the two worked together to put the rocket together, carefully attaching every parts and making sure everything was secure. after the rocket was put together, stanley carried it off so that xeno could start operating the rocket's controls. as xeno prepared the rocket for launch, the two were both excited and anxious. the rocket launched with a countdown and flew into the sky, leaving a trail of smoke and sparks in its path. then, they hear a huge boom as they watch the rocket take off.

BOOM!!

the rocket launch is again—another failure, as expected.

"well, there goes another rocket launching fail..." stanley cutting off the silence

"as predicted, but with an improvement, we surpassed another record for the rocket's altitude, and it is higher than before" xeno said with a closed smile

☆

6 days later.

CORNERSTONE ACADEMY

friday, 2:19 pm

"are you sure it's okay that you go home alone today?" stanley stated while watching xeno gathering his things in his bag.

they were in their homeroom class at the time, and while most students were leaving for home, some stayed behind in attending in club activities after school, like stan, who have a soccer practice for their nearing tournament next month.

"I've already told you stan that I'm fine going home alone myself for the time being, and I don't want to interfere with your soccer practice." he was reassured by xeno, books and encyclopedias in his hand and carrying a backpack.

"but what if they-"

"just like I said, I am fine stan" xeno cut off stanley and give him a look that literally said 'don't make me repeat it'

"ugh, fine but be careful" stanley grumbled under his breath as he left the classroom and made his way to the soccer field.

"alright."

then for the day, the two parted ways.

☆

as xeno was peacefully strolling down the street, the three self-proclaimed school bullies abruptly surrounded him in.

"well well well, look do we have here...! the nerd!" bully 1, or the leader of the bullies, laughed slyly

"where's that guard dog of yours huh? not with you today?" bully 2 stated as he leans closer to xeno

" have you heard personal space?" while rolling his eyes, xeno remarked

then suddenly bully 3 snatched xeno's books in his hand

"ohhh, looky here ey, his nerdy stuff!~ why don't we 'decorate' it huh? would you like it?" bully 3 said as he looks at xeno's book with false interest

"as a matter of fact, no I do not." xeno responded neutrally.

"huh..?! are you threatening us?" bully 1 threatened him

"don't be so cocky you nerd" bully 2 added

with three against one, xeno is obviously powerless. you've got to be kidding, right? he may have an extraordinary mind, but it's obvious that he lacks a strong physical physique. that's stanley's forte, and he don't have a choice but to stand there and stood quietly as the three starts to 'decorate' his books, if I said decorate his books, what I meant to rip and destroy the books.

without stanley on his side, he is absolutely defenseless.

thump

the three bullies were alerted when they heard the four of them make a running sound as it approaching them.

"what the- who dare to-" bully 1 exclaimed

WHACK

xeno and the other bullies can't help but watch in astonishment as bully 1 is knocked back to the ground by a girl's powerful and unexpected kick.

there stood a girl— (h/c) hair flowing through the air flawlessly with (e/c) staring sharply at them while tucking her hands in her pockets. and xeno can't help but stare at the girl in admiration.

'how.....elegant'

"leave him alone." the mysterious girl warned the three as bully 1 held his bleeding nose.

"who do you think your talk-" the kick to the bully 2's chins interrupts him, causing him to stumble and drop to his butt.

"you...!— get her!" the two was told by their leader as they approached the girl and started foolishly attack her.

"tsk" then the girl punch their cheeks one by one like a professional fighter.

xeno can't help but continue to stare the girl while the fight escalates. his mind was full with questions. who is this girl? where does she come from? how old is she? What's her name? If stan was here, he is so sure that he wants to meet this fascinating girl too and learn everything there is to know about her.

then the bullies' voice suddenly cut off xeno's stunned face

blink

'what?'

"mark my words girly, and you nerd! this isn't over!!" bully 1 cried out as he and his goons run away from where the girl and xeno is.

"this isn't over!!" then the bullies finally disappeared. "are you....ok...?" the girl asks xeno

"huh- yes, I'm alright, and I truly thank you for saving me from those idiots."

"no problem.....but can I ask you what time is it?" unexpectedly, the girl asks him (and stare at his forehea—), as if nothing had happened.

'huh? you just beat up a couple idiots, and now you want to know the time?'

xeno sighs but replied anyway as a form of gratitude

"it's around 2:44"

"oh thanks"

as if she were running out of time for work, the girl rushed off, leaving xeno dazed as his books scattered all around him. and xeno smiled at the running girl

'what an elegant and interesting girl~'

unknown to him, the mysterious girl is sprinting toward the academy, eager to see her long time friend who is playing a game of soccer on the academy's field.

"stan!"

saturday, 10:44 am

wingfield residence

"stan, you would not believe what happened yesterday!"xeno exclaimed to his friend stanley in an energetic tone.

they were currently hanging out in the backyard of the residence to continue xeno's rocket development and prepare to launch it once more.

xeno can't stop thinking about the mysterious girl that save him yesterday, and he can't wait to tell stanley to know about the girl too

"hmm..? what happened?" stan replied as he lean his back to the backyard's tree that were covering them from the sun's heat

"there was a girl that saved me yesterday!"

stanley abruptly stood up as soon as he heard xeno say these words.

stan spoke frantically and worried to his friend, "hah? saved you from what?! who?! did that goons mess with you again?! tsk, I knew it, I should have come with you yesterday."

"just like I said, a girl saved me! oh stan, if you were there yesterday, you should've seen her graceful kick..! It's elegant!"

as xeno continue to ramble on about this mysterious girl he met yesterday, stanley couldn't help but see similarities between the girl xeno talking about and his childhood friend (who just surprisingly arrived yesterday and met him on the soccer field)

"I was about to ask her name yesterday, but she quickly left. I really hope to see her again. and oh, as I recall, your friend (y/n) will arrive today, yes?".

"your right, but she arrived yesterday and I had no idea. heh, that girl really loves to surprise people" stan amused as he replied to xeno, then he added

"you wouldn't mind to meet her right now, right?"

"oh, you mean I can now meet her?"

"yup, I'll bring her over for you"

"then it would be fine"

"cool"

stan picks up his bike and heads outside to the his friends house. stanley thrilled as he returns to his parents' home to pick up his friend. he can't wait to xeno and (y/n) to finally meet!

☆

"(y/n) c'mon out, there's someone I want you to meet!" stan called to (y/n) as she come out to the stairs house.

she teased, "I'm here, calm down pretty boy" (y/n), putting on her shoes.

"l'm obviously calm, what are you talking about"

"whatever you say"

"get on, we're on for a bumpy ride"

"stop acting so stupid, you're not even driving a car or anything"

"just hop on, will ya'?"

they started to ride back to xeno's house while still jokingly arguing, as (y/n) sat at the rear of stanley's bike.

☆

"aight, where here" stan said as he stop the bike, making (y/n) gawk at the mansion-like house.

"woah, how 'd you pull a rich friend huh? tell me your secret stan"

"I don't have a secret, let's go" stan then snatched (y/n)'s hand to pull her in

"right...."

☆

"xeno! we're here" stanley waved as xeno's back facing him and (y/n)

stan's voice as he calls for him caused him to perk up.

"stan, I'm glad you—"

when xeno saw those recognizable, attractive (e/c) looking back at him, he suddenly stopped speaking.

"wait, your that boy yesterday...." (y/n) mumbled as she squint her eyes and point a finger to xeno's direction.

stanley then started the introduction between the two

"xeno this is (y/n), she's the girl I've been talking about. and (y/n) this is xeno"

xeno then snatched (y/n)'s hand for handshake as he greets her brightly with stars in his eyes

"such beauty and elegance! welcome to my abode! I'm xeno houston wingfield! nice to finally meeting you again!"

"ah—, yeah. I'm (y/n) ambrose, nice to meet you to....I guess." unknown to xeno, (y/n) can't help but stare at his forehead......

"stan, why didn't you tell me that your friend s with the girl who saved me yesterday? ~"

"yeah..." stanley replied while closing his eyes

"wait— WHAT?!"

(CHAPTER 8)Z=156: Two Scientists

FLASHBACK

The sun beat down on the dusty ground near the lake, shimmering off the water's surface. Ten-year-old Senku, his brow furrowed in concentration, meticulously adjusted a small rocket propped up on a makeshift launchpad of stacked rocks. Beside him, Taiju, equally earnest but with a hint of nervousness in his eyes, held a battered notebook filled with complex equations.

A few feet away, a small group of children played, their laughter echoing across the water, but Senku and Taiju were oblivious, completely absorbed in their project. Whispers followed them – "Why aren't they playing like normal kids?" "What are they even doing?" – but the two boys remained focused. Taiju, though he longed to join the other children in their games, was fiercely loyal to Senku and his scientific shenanigans. He knew how much this meant to his friend. He just wished, sometimes, that Senku's experiments didn't involve quite so many explosions.

A thin wisp of smoke curled upwards from the base of the rocket. Taiju held his breath. He'd seen this before.

KABWOOM

The rocket ignited with a deafening roar, shooting a plume of fire and smoke into the air before sputtering and falling back to earth in a shower of sparks. The two boys coughed, their faces blackened with soot. This was, unfortunately, not an uncommon occurrence.

Senku and Taiju trudged back to the Ishigami residence, a small, cluttered house filled with the paraphernalia of Senku's experiments. Taiju sighed, tossing the book of rocket engineering onto a dusty table.

"Ohh, you can look up the secrets to making rockets on the computer!" he exclaimed, clearly relieved to be done with the confusing text. He'd had enough of trying to decipher the arcane language of rocket science.

Senku, already hunched over his computer, didn't look up. "You understand English? That's crazy, Taiju!" he said, his fingers flying across the keyboard.

Taiju looked at the screen in awe. "<Dis iz> a what now?" he attempted, struggling with the unfamiliar phrase.

"Nahh not quite, I'm at the <This is a pen> level," Senku corrected, pointing at the screen. "See, most of the academic papers are in English, so I gotta attack this with a dictionary in hand." He gestured to a thick, well-worn English-Japanese dictionary lying open on his desk.

As he continued to type, Senku explained his strategy. "But researching these papers will only get me so far. It'll be quicker to pool intel...from like-minded people out there. That's what science is all about!"

With a decisive click, Senku sent his email to multiple space-related organizations across the globe, including, specifically, NASA.

"You're sending a message out to the world?!" Taiju's eyes widened.

"Yeah," Senku replied with a smirk. "Just call me 'spam-mail Senku.'"

NASA, Joshson Space Center

Meanwhile, thousands of miles away, in a brightly lit office, a video call was in progress.(Y/n), seated comfortably in her chair, had her hair meticulously styled into a sleek up-do by her hairstylist. The stylist worked with ease, ensuring every strand was perfectly placed for the upcoming photoshoot. While the stylist worked her magic, (Y/n) is in lighthearted conversation with Xeno and Stanley, the atmosphere buzzing with pre-shoot excitement. Passing time catchng up with friends is definitely less boring.

"<Really? A kid sent a research paper to NASA about rockets? Now that's shocking,>" (y/n) said, adjusting her head position for the make-up artist.

"<That's correct, but isn't it elegant and intriguing, (n/n)? Stanley? Children of this generation are very interested in toys and other nonsense things! This particular one is interested in science, and he even built his own rocket! How very marvelous this child is.>" Xeno's voice was filled with genuine admiration planning to take the japanese kid his mentee.

"<'Sounds like you exactly.>" Stanley chuckled, taking a drag from his cigarette.

"<Right? Do you have a secret child or what?>" (y/n) teased, eliciting a snicker from Stanley in response.

"<Or maybe you hooked up with some random woman and—>" Stanley began, but Xeno cut him off sharply.

"<You two know that I don't engage in that kind of nonsense you two are talking about,>" he said, his eyes still fixed on the computer screen where he was composing a reply to Senku but briefly glance at the woman in screen as he grumbled.

"<Yeah, whatever you say, doc,>" Stanley muttered.

"<Wanna tell us about that kid?>" (y/n) asked, changing the subject.

"<Well, as far as I know...he mentioned in his email that he is from Japan, a young boy, about 10 years old, and that his father is a professor—he used a supercomputer on the university's campus to perform some calculations for his rocket, how rebellious.>" Xeno explained.

"<Well, I suppose If its for solely for science, I have no say in his matter at all...>" Xeno humms as he type more on his laptop.

"<Really a rebel,>" Stanley murmured, getting nostalgic.

"<Y'know what, Xe? Might as well take the kid as your student while you're at it,>" (y/n) suggested.

Xeno's eyes lit up. "<You read my mind, dear! And perhaps I should teach him more, not just about rocket... Now that his rocket needs some additional supplies, I need to make a list of those things. I'm not sure whether he is able to purchase them, but if he's eager, then...>"

"<If that's the case, I don't definitely mind giving him some funding.>" (y/n) perked up as she nodded at her make-up stylist after finishing her look.

"<Really? I thought ya' don't like brats?>" Stanley shoot up the question as (y/n) rolled her eyes at the soldier making Xeno smile at (y/n)'s generous offer.

"<Oh shut up, Stan>" (y/n) retort as she huffs.

"<Really, dear? I suppose that can do because...>" Xeno said

He finished his email, along with the offer that (y/n) made to help senku, and clicked send, adding the phrase, "Science is elegant."

★

Ding

"Nice, Senku!" Taiju yelled, pumping his fist in the air. "A response from a pro-scientist from NASA!" Tears welled up in his eyes.

"Pipe down," Senku said, though a small smile played on his lips. He carefully read the email and arch a brow.

"Huh? an offer? I can't refuse the financial help that's offering me. It's definitely a 10 billion percent help with my project." Senku smirked as Taiju is in awe again and congratulating again his best friend. But what really caught his eyes is the last words of Dr. X's letter;

"Science is elegant."

Senku stared at the screen. 'Elegant, huh...'

★

"Sooo, you just gotta buy the thermometer on this picture? Think they sell it at the 100-yen shop?" Taiju asked, slurping his cup of noodles. He wondered if any dollar stores in Japan sold a resistance thermometer with a rhodium-platinum alloy heat sensor.

"Let's see how much it is..." Senku muttered.

The two boys' eyes widened as they read the price: half a million yen. They both promptly spat out their noodles.

Senku made a decision. He would accept Dr X's friend's help and travel to America to meet his father, Byakuya, and use his credit card for extra allowance for his rocket project. It's better to have much than not enough, right?

★

A few weeks later, (y/n) was getting her makeup retouched when she called Xeno. "<So, it's been a few weeks. How's that mentee of yours, huh?>"

"<Now that you mention it, yes,>" Xeno replied. "<Teaching Dr. Senku about science is incredibly thrilling, as he is so eager to learn more. The boy continues to amaze me. Also, he extends his gratitude for helping him.>"

"<He also took pictures as proof that your funds were not wasted. I applaud your kindness towards this child, dear>" Xeno smiled as he forwards the pictures to (y/n).

The picture shows the purchased equipments with an adorable thumbs up. It made her softly smiled, she suppose this child is a camera shy one. But one thing for sure, this one is truly a kid, an incredible kid. Now, it really made her want to learn japanese. Maybe Xeno can teach her. (He sure can't deny teaching (y/n))

"<As much as Dr. Senku wants to learn about science, he doesn't know how to use it to rule over the ignorant masses on Earth,>" Xeno continued, taking a sip of coffee. "<Oh well, I understand that he is still a child, so in my position as his mentor, I will teach him everything there is to know about it.>"

★

"<You two would be there, right? If I ever dominate humanity with science in my grasp. (n/n)? Stanley?>" Xeno asked, a strange mix of seriousness and humor in his voice.

Stanley, who had been half-listening, opened his eyes and looked at the phone screen. (Y/n) did the same.

"<Mhm. Whatever you say, doc. Whatever happens, we'll be your by yer' side,>" Stanley said, puffing on his cigarette.

"<Whatever, yeah, sounds fun,>" (y/n) replied casually, closing her eyes as the makeup artist applied eyeshadow.

"<As expected of you two,>" Xeno said. "<The three of us shall take over humanity if anything happens, using the power of science. All three of us will be above them as I use science to reproduce every piece of weaponry.>" He gazed out the window, a dark expression on his face.

★

At NASA's Johnson Space Center, Xeno's coworkers were chatting in the cafeteria.

"<Well, what if you were sent back in time to the Stone Age?>" one of them asked.

Xeno, holding a cup of coffee, replied, ""

"<That'd be your move? Turning into a despot?>" Byakuya asked, raising an eyebrow.

"<What if there were other scientists there?>" the colleague persisted.

"<Whatever crazy situation humanity finds itself in...scientists are ten billion percent sure to pop up,>" Xeno said. Byakuya stood up from his seat.

"There will always be people greedy enough to wanna know every last detail about how the world works. Just like my son!" Byakuya added proudly.

"<In that case, I would confront these others, and in that primitive Stone World...we would learn whose science is superior!>" Xeno retorted, his eyes meeting Byakuya's.

Sometime later, Byakuya bustled around his office at NASA, straightening his tie and adjusting a framed photo of himself and a much younger Senku. He hummed a cheerful tune, a wide grin plastered on his face.

"<My son Senku is on his way!!>" Byakuya exclaimed to his colleagues, barely containing his excitement. He couldn't wait to see his son, though a small, nagging voice in the back of his head reminded him of the real reason for Senku's visit. Only because he maxed out that credit card. Not for a wholesome reason or anything, he thought, the grin faltering slightly before returning full force. He waved off the thought, chalking it up to parental anxieties. He continued chatting animatedly with his coworkers, describing Senku's brilliance and his passion for science.

"<I'm gonna meet him out front,>" Byakuya announced, grabbing his jacket.

Unbeknownst to Byakuya, Xeno, who was working nearby, overheard the conversation. The name "Senku" sparked a flicker of recognition in his mind. He vaguely remembered the name from the email exchanges, the young boy who had sent a research paper to NASA about rockets. Intrigued, he paused his work and listened more intently.

"<Sen.....ku?>" Xeno murmured to himself, a thoughtful expression on his face.

Outside the NASA building, Senku—now a teenager, stood before a large, gleaming statue of a space shuttle, his gaze fixed on its intricate details. His eyes ran a hand lightly over the smooth metal, a sense of awe and wonder filling him. He was so engrossed in his observation that he didn't notice a stranger approach and stand silently beside him. There was an unspoken understanding between them and peacefully stayed quite.

"HEYYY! SENKU!!" Byakuya's booming voice shattered the quiet moment. He rushed towards his son, a wide, beaming smile on his face. Xeno, sensing the familial reunion, discreetly stepped back and began to walk away, allowing father and son some privacy.

"Hm? What's up?" Byakuya asked Senku, noticing the slight look of distraction on his son's face, his eyes following the black-coated stranger.

"Nothing," Senku replied, turning to greet his father.

AMARANTHINE - Dr. STONE

(CHAPTER 7)Z=155: Science is Elegant

"<Yes, indeed. sniping is the most elegant scientific way to do battle!>"

Xeno declared, a subtle smirk playing on his lips. He gestured with a flourish, emphasizing the word "elegant," as if dissecting the very concept of warfare. He continued, his voice a low, confident hum,

"<We avoid a messy confrontation, and eliminate the key target in short order. Thereby bringing an end to the war while incurring the fewest casualties.>" He leaned back in his chair, the picture of self-satisfaction.

Meanwhile, aboard the Perseus, Luna, clad in a stealth suit that blended seamlessly with the ship's interior, moved with practiced ease. Her mission: locate Dr. Taiju. She subtly activated her comms, sending a coded signal to Stanley, confirming her readiness to begin her investigation. The signal was a quick burst of static, almost imperceptible, but Stanley, perched high above in his sniper's nest, received it loud and clear.

Below, in the makeshift command center, Carlos watched the live feed from Luna's camera, his brow furrowed with concern.

"<Kuhhh! Of course Miss Luna snuck in no problem! The bad guys are probably head over heels for her,>" he exclaimed, the last part delivered with a nervous chuckle. He wasn't entirely sure about the "head over heels" part, but he knew Luna's beauty was a powerful weapon.

Max, standing beside Carlos, shared his anxiety. "<Kahhh! Curse that Stanley for exposing Miss Luna to danger like this!>" he growled, clenching his fist. He paced back and forth, his worry palpable.

"<But this sniping plan…>" Max muttered, glancing up at Stanley's distant position.

"" Carlos finished, his eyes mirroring Max’s apprehension.

High above them, Stanley peered through the scope of his rifle, his focus laser-sharp. "<Which one is he? Which one is Dr. Taiju…?>" he murmured to himself, scanning the crowd below, searching for the telltale signs that would identify his target.

Back on the Perseus, Minami, her voice amplified by the ship's communication system, addressed the enemy forces, her tone a mix of defiance and diplomacy.

"And that's the gist of it! We're out to revive all of humanity! We were hoping to have your cooperation, of course," she announced, the message broadcasting across the airwaves.

"Obviously we won't surrender and serve under you, but…we're always open to a civilized discussion!!"

Inside the Perseus’s makeshift bridge, Ginro peeked through the doorway, a confused expression on his face. "Can the enemy even hear what you're saying?" he asked.

"Radio broadcast," Homura replied curtly, not bothering to look up from her own task.

"I figure it's worth putting out there, at least," Minami added, shrugging. "Though we don't know what sort of person Dr. Xeno really is."

Meanwhile, in the factory, (Y/n) leaned against the doorframe, her gaze fixed on Gen, who was performing some minor task nearby. Her stare was intense, unwavering, and Gen felt it like a physical weight.

'Ahh~….I should be happy that the lovely woman is staring at me,' Gen thought, sweat dripping down his temple, 'but I can't – she can clearly see right through me!!'

He tried to appear nonchalant, but his every movement betrayed his unease. He avoided (Y/n)'s gaze, his eyes darting nervously around the room.

Xeno, seated at his desk with headphones on, his back to the pair, spoke without turning around. "<Now dear, stop staring at Mr. Gen, he might already be dead if you continue to do so.>"

'Yes, please…!' Gen thought, sighing in relief as the oppressive gaze finally lifted.

"" (Y/n) replied, closing her eyes briefly. A whirlwind of thoughts swirled through her mind. '<Tsk, an amateur magician, eh? You may fool Xeno with your pretend façade, but to me, you don't. And Luna? I have doubts about her. She can fool anybody, yes, but anyone can fool her easily too. Maybe they're going to trick her into something right now in exchange for information.>'

And just as (Y/n) suspected, a plan was indeed unfolding to deceive Luna.

"<Hello, again. Luna, was it? My name is Senku.>" Senku said, his voice smooth and confident. He extended a hand, unaware that he was unintentionally cutting off Luna's shocked expression. Luna was taken aback. Dr. Taiju, the science leader of the Kingdom of Science, was unexpectedly…charming?

'<This charming Senku is quite unsettling,>' Luna thought, her mind racing. '<He's probably gonna take his time to ask about Dr. Xeno in some roundabout way!>'

Kinro and Yuzuriha, standing nearby, exchanged nervous glances. 'He's playing it up,' they thought simultaneously, sweat dripping down their foreheads.

"" Senku’s sudden shift in demeanor, his charming facade dropping away to reveal a sharp, demanding edge, startled everyone.

Yuzuriha, Kinro, and Kirisame abruptly stood up, their faces etched with concern. "Senku!"

Senku, his attention now focused on Ryusui, who had just arrived with Francois, waved them off. "What? The interrogation was going well," he replied, crossing his arms.

Ryusui, however, had other ideas. He pulled Senku aside, explaining his strategy. "As we need the young lady to open her heart to us," he suggested, "please make use of Bar Francois." Francois, standing nearby, placed a hand on their chest and bowed, happily obliging.

"The trick to winning someone over is fulfilling their desire!" Ryusui declared.

"I do not know what Master Luna desires, but we can venture a guess," Francois suggested.

"Hmph, how about…the last thing that anyone'd say they hate…" Ryusui hinted.

"Ice cream!!" The word hung in the air, a beacon of sugary hope.

Inside the lab mobile, Senku quizzed Ryusui. "You got data to back that up?"

"Sure, my research as a desire specialist!" Ryusui replied confidently.

"It's true – I can't imagine there's much of an anti-ice cream faction out here," Minami added.

"You'd gotta be nuts to have anything against ice cream!" Yo exclaimed, his eyes glazing over as he daydreamed of frozen delights.

Senku launched into an explanation of the ice cream-making process, as he and Francois began preparing the treat. "The ingredients are exceedingly simple," he began. "Milk." He held up a carton. "Sugar." He displayed a bag. "And in place of gelatin…we'll use kudzu powder to achieve that smooth, velvety mouthfeel."

"Vanilla essence makes the difficulty skyrocket," Senku added.

"I remember, I had a hard time using it for Valentine's Day," Yuzuriha shared, a nostalgic smile gracing her lips.

"Since vanilla beans don't grow in the U.S., we gotta synthesize the flavor with science!" Senku explained, holding up a test tube and a copper wire. "Wrap copper wire around a test tube…stick a piece of iron inside…hook it up to our cellphone's high-voltage battery…and switch it on!!" Ginro stared at the setup, his eyes wide with fascination.

"Whoa, it's glowing purple!"

As the "ice cream making" proceeded inside the lab, Luna couldn't resist peeking through the window, her curiosity piqued.

'<What are they up to? Hm…?>' she wondered.

Inside, the ice cream production continued. "Stinks like a swimming pool!!" Minami complained, pinching her nose.

"Or like a photo-copier, I'd say," Ryusui added.

"That's ozone you're smelling," Senku confirmed.

"I thought we were trying to make ice cream?! Wanna get us back on track?!"

"Take bay laurel extract…boil it in our old friend sodium hydroxide…and infuse it with the ozone we just made…to get…vanilla essence!" Senku declared, combining the ozone and sodium hydroxide, producing a sweet-smelling mixture.

"Just like that?" Minami asked, incredulous.

"Smells…sweet!" Homura agreed, unable to resist the enticing aroma.

Senku then poured the mixture into a container filled with the other ingredients and placed it in a larger bowl of ice. "Stir well as the ingredients chill." As they sprinkled salt on the ice, Francois addressed Taiju, who was diligently stirring the container.

"Adding salt to the ice drops the temp a few dozen degrees," Senku explained.

Luna, still peering through the window, spotted Dr. Taiju. '<There's Dr. Taiju! I have to get near and point him out…!>' she thought, moving closer. Nikki intercepted her, blocking her path.

"<Not so fast. Since you're hurt, you better get some rest,>" Nikki suggested, her arms crossed protectively over her chest. She gave Luna a pointed look, subtly conveying that she wasn't buying Luna's act.

"<Th-thanks, I'm okay!>" Luna stammered, her agitation barely concealed. She tried to brush past Nikki, but Nikki stood firm.

A few minutes later, the ice cream-making process reached its culmination. Francois, with a flourish, poured the finished ice cream into a pre-chilled, icing-like container, then expertly swirled it onto a crisp cone. A triumphant announcement echoed through the lab:

SOFT-SERVING ICE CREAM, ACQUIRED!!

A buzz of excitement filled the air as everyone was offered a cone. Luna accepted hers hesitantly. As the first lick of the icy treat touched her tongue, a wave of nostalgia washed over her. The familiar sweetness, the creamy texture…it was a taste from a world lost. Tears welled up in her eyes, a mixture of bittersweet memories and the simple pleasure of the ice cream.

After a moment, Luna, her voice still slightly choked with emotion, turned to Senku, who was perched on the lab mobile's roof, gazing up at the star-studded sky. "<That electric stuff…how'd you use it to make vanilla?!>" she asked, her curiosity piqued.

Senku looked down at her, a hint of a smile playing on his lips. "<There's always a workaround for whatever we're lacking. Humans have been persevering like that for two million years,>" he replied. He paused, then continued, his voice taking on a more passionate tone.

"<Getting to the root of the raw elements that make up this world of ours helps us create stuff we got no business having. That's the sweet side of organic chemistry.>"

Luna, still holding the half-eaten ice cream, looked at it thoughtfully. Senku’s words echoed in her mind. Then, as if snapping out of a trance, she remembered her mission.

'<Nope, nuh-uh. I'm supposed to be into intellectual types! And Dr. Taiju is their science leader, right?!>' she thought, her resolve hardening.

She turned back to Senku, forcing a smile. "<J-job well done, with this! To borrow Xeno's favorite word, it's really…>" she paused, searching for the right word.

"<Elegant,>" Luna finished, Senku's eyes widening slightly.

The word hung in the air, charged with unspoken meaning. Senku stared at Luna, a look of stunned realization on his face.

"<Luna, is Dr. Xeno…a former NASA scientist?>" he asked, his voice barely a whisper.

Luna blinked, surprised by the question. "<How'd you know that…?>" she replied, unknowingly confirming Senku's suspicions.

A tense silence followed. Ryusui, who had been observing the exchange, looked at Senku expectantly. "Well? Who is he?"

Senku remained silent for a moment, lost in thought. Then, finally, he spoke, his voice filled with a mixture of surprise and revelation. "When I…started making rockets…Dr. Xeno was my science mentor." He placed his hands on his hips, his gaze fixed on the stars, the weight of the revelation settling upon him.

(CHAPTER 6) Z=154: Spy vs. Spy

"we'll find the enemy science leader...

"...and capture him!!"

"<...and to assassinate him!!>"

Senku and Dr. Xeno exclaimed in unison, while the troops of the enemy kingdom and the other members of the kingdom of science were now exploring the forest to complete their respective missions.

The rhythmic crunch of leaves underfoot was the only sound breaking the serene tranquility of the forest. Stanley and (Y/n) were deep in thought, their minds racing with the complexities of their mission. Suddenly, a faint rustling sound caught their attention. They turned to see a young woman dressed in a striped dress, her footsteps trailing behind them.

"<So, can we trust this Gen guy?." she asked, her voice carrying a hint of skepticism.

(Y/n) glanced at Stanley, her eyes seeking his opinion. "<Luna,>" she began, addressing the woman, "<Xeno entrusted you with infiltrating the enemy's ship. Do you think you can handle it?>"

Luna nodded, her expression a mixture of determination and nervousness. "<Of course, I can,>" she replied, her voice a bit shaky. Even after all these years, she still found it difficult to converse with (Y/n) without feeling a sense of anxiety and intimidation. Despite her fear, Luna admired (Y/n) deeply, seeing her as a role model.

"" (Y/n) said, turning her attention to their weapons. As she prepared for the mission, Stanley responded to Luna's question about Gen.

"<Trust?>" he scoffed. "<Anyone who trusts an enemy who just double-crossed his own people needs an appointment with a head doctor.>"

"<We'll pump him for intel, but keep him at arm's length otherwise,>" Stanley continued. "<Odds are he's a spy.>"

Luna agreed, her voice a bit more confident this time. "<Right, sure. I mean, duh. Obviously! I realized that too. That was me testing you, Stanley. I didn't think you'd get careless, but I had to be sure!>"

In the distance, chaos began to unfold. (Y/n) climbed a towering tree, finding the perfect vantage point to observe the enemy's base. She brought out her binocular telescope and began scanning the area.

Meanwhile, below, Carlos and Max were expressing their loyalty to Luna. "<No way, Miss Luna! I'll carry every last one if I have to!>" Carlos exclaimed, his voice filled with determination. Max echoed his sentiment, eager to impress Luna with his bravery.

"<What? Now you're up for the job? Why don't you take a nap while I carry the cargo?>" Carlos retorted, his competitive spirit ignited. Max, eager to impress Luna, joined the fray, and soon the two were engaged in a heated argument.

"<You're not carrying a thing, Luna,>" Stanley's voice cut through the bickering. He lit a cigarette, a calm demeanor contrasting with the chaos below. "<And that's non-negotiable. Not a thing. That heavy stuff could leave marks on your body, and you've got a job to do.>"

Just then, (Y/n) shouted from above, her voice echoing through the trees. "<You four there, quit talking and come up here!>"

Stanley, Luna, Carlos, and Max scrambled up the tree to join her. As they reached the top, Carlos's eyes widened in astonishment as he beheld the massive enemy ship.

"<So that's the enemy ship?>" he asked nervously.

"<KAHHH! IT'S HUGE!!>" Max exclaimed, his voice filled with awe.

"<Wow, this other science-pro isn't half-bad,>" Luna said, her admiration growing. "<Of course, he's nothing compared to Xeno!>"

(Y/n) handed Stanley her binoculars, allowing him to get a closer look at the ship. "" she said, as Stanley taking the binoculars from her hands then kissing them.

"<So, we should begin measuring and not waste time,>" (Y/n) continued, pulling out thermometers and weather vanes and handing them to Stanley. Stanley picked up the weather vane and lifted it into the air, placing it on the top of a tree branch to begin taking measurements.

"<Do these... measure temperature and humidity?>" Luna asked, holding her own thermometer.

"<They're made by Doc Xeno, who tends to be overly helpful,>" Stanley replied. "<Despite my insistence I could figure out that stuff using my senses. Well, extra data'll only help with accuracy, I guess.>"

"<And is that a weathervane?>" Carlos asked, his curiosity piqued.

"<Kah kah kah! Why take all these readings? You playing weather reporter?>" Max chimed in.

(Y/n) answered their questions, her voice calm and authoritative. "<It all affects bullet velocity.>" The other three were taken aback by her explanation, realizing that Stanley was carefully tracking the environmental conditions to ensure the perfect shot.

"<No way... from this distance?>" Luna looked at Stanley with a mixture of awe and apprehension.

"<I'll snipe the enemy science leader... with a rifle made by Xeno's science,>" Stanley replied, his voice filled with determination. He positioned himself on his stomach, finding a clear view of the ship through his scope.

"<We've got a glimpse of the area via spy plane. This is the optimal firing position,>" he said, remaining still.

"<We... we're gonna kill them...?>" Luna looked up at Stanley and (Y/n), her eyes wide with uncertainty.

"<Just their science leader,>" (Y/n) replied, preparing her own gun and reloading it.

"<Isn't that kinda awful?>" Luna asked, her voice trembling slightly.

Stanley's glare was immediate, silencing Luna's question. "<Just kidding! Just making sure that those two wimps don't try to chicken out of this! That's part of my job!>" Luna exclaimed, her panic evident as she averted her gaze from Stanley's intense stare.

"<That's our Miss Luna, cool as a cucumber!>" Max and Carlos exclaimed, their admiration for Luna growing.

"<I've got goosebumps!>" Max added, his voice filled with excitement.

"<So what's the job of mine you two mentioned before? And why am I wearing this striped outfit...?>" Luna asked, her curiosity piqued.

"<Each stripe is five inches,>" Stanley answered.

"<You'll be our yard stick, Luna,>" (Y/n) finished.

"<By matching up with my crosshairs, I can calculate the distance to the target,>" Stanley added.

"<You're about as young as they are, Luna. So they're less likely to see you as a threat. Board their ship, and find Dr. Taiju, their science leader,>" Stanley instructed.

"<(N/n), help Luna get close to the ship, will you?>" Stanley requested (Y/n), who nodded and began to descend from the tree.

"<No need to ask twice, captain~ Come on now, Luna,>" (Y/n) purred, motioning for Luna to follow her.

"<Ri-right!>" Luna replied, her voice a bit shaky. With an awkward silence, (Y/n) guided Luna towards the lair near the ship.

"<luna, dear>" (Y/n) called out, her voice carrying a sense of urgency.

"<Yes...?>" Luna responded quietly, her attention drawn to (Y/n).

"<Xeno and Stanley may not know this, but I have a feeling that Dr. Taiju is not the science leader...>" (Y/n) revealed, her voice filled with a hint of intrigue. Randomly telling Luna her suspicioun despite not being close with the younger woman.

"<Huh? How so?>" Luna asked, her curiosity piqued.

"<Just a feeling. Anyway, word of advice, trust your instincts,>" (Y/n) replied.

"<Huh... right...>" Luna nodded, her mind racing.

The two came to a stop at their intended spot.

"" (Y/n) said, bidding Luna farewell.

Luna watched (Y/n) walk away, her heart filled with admiration. She was truly her role model. But then, remembering her mission, she immediately began to mess herself up to look as if she had been harassed or hurt.

'I'm Luna, the smoothest operator! Luna, the capable gal!!' Luna exclaimed in her head as she emerged from her hiding spot, tears in her eyes and her appearance disheveled. How could anyone not help a poor girl in such a state?

Ryusui and Senku noticed Luna's crawling figure on the ship's ladder.

From afar, Stanley observed the scene with interest.

'Sailing out to sea could've saved them, but they're staying put because... they're reluctant to abandon an ally. Lucky these kiddies are so naïve. And softies like that... won't ignore a girl crying for help,' Stanley thought to himself.

Meanwhile, (Y/n) decided to return to the factory, knowing that Stanley and the others could handle the mission properly. She decided to accompany Xeno, who was 'tormenting' Gen.

As (Y/n) walked away, she glanced back at Luna, carrying out her mission.

'You sent a spy into our ranks? Well, here's our counter-op. Two can play at this game,' she thought as she continued to walk away.

"Help me please! I'm desperate to run away from that horrid Dr. Xeno and his kingdom!!" Luna cried out desperately, her voice filled with emotion as she pleaded for help from the crew of the Perseus.

Mozu perked up, his attention drawn to Luna's appearance.

"Hm? She's cute," Mozu mused, his eyes lingering on Luna. However, his comment was quickly met with disapproval from Kirisame.

"Not the time nor place, Mozu," Kirisame admonished, her voice stern.

Senku stepped closer to Luna, his presence drawing Ryusui's attention. Ryusui couldn't help but smirk, his mind racing with possibilities.

'Hmph. Tough call here,' Ryusui thought, his suspicion of Luna growing. 'Of course, I want to help her... but we can't take her at face value.'

Luna looked up as she heard Senku's footsteps approaching.

"Are you hurt, miss? Have no fear, you're safe now! Please, come onto our ship," Senku offered, his words laced with charm. Luna couldn't help but blush at his kind demeanor.

"Th-thanks..." Luna replied, her voice a bit shaky.

"Let's get you some first-aid below deck!" Taiju said, offering to help Luna. Kirisame took Luna into her arms, carrying her towards the ship to tend to her wounds.

"Turning on the charm, huh?" Yuzuriha sweatdropped, amused by Senku's actions.

"Really, Senku...?" Kinro echoed, his expression a mix of surprise and amusement.

Meanwhile, at Tsukasa's group, they were discussing their strategy.

"We only have a general idea of where Chrome, Kohaku, and Gen went," Suika said.

"Right, we need intel," Ukyo added.

"Capturing their science leader will allow us to seize the initiative. Yes... any information about the enemy would be helpful at this point," Tsukasa concluded.

Back on the Perseus, Luna internally decided to fulfill her mission while most of the crew remained suspicious of her.

"We're really letting some suspicious girl board the ship?" Nikki asked warily.

"Who cares? She's cute," Mozu replied, his admiration for Luna unabated.

"Senku's a man, if you know what I mean! And maybe doe-eyed blondes push all the right buttons for him!" Yo exclaimed, teasing Senku.

"Naw, this isn't what it seems..." Yuzuriha countered.

Senku smirked mischievously. "Ku ku ku... we'll extract all the info we can outta this girl and send a coded message to Tsukasa and the special forces." He added with a devilish grin, "It's spy versus spy! Black-hearted schemers. Trying to outfox each other! I told'ya it wasn't what it seemed!"

At the same time, (Y/n) returned to the factory, eager to report on the ongoing mission.

"<Ah dear, you came back earlier than I expected,>" Xeno said, noticing (Y/n)'s arrival. He snatched her hand, pulling her closer to him and grabbing her waist delicately.

Gen stared warily at the two, his eyes darting between them as they swayed around the room, creating a peaceful yet suffocating aura. For him, it was a suffocating moment, but for the two, it was a peaceful one.

(Y/n) noticed Gen's stare, her eyes meeting his. She held Xeno's hand and her other hand on his right shoulder, returning the stare with a cold look.

"<Yes, Luna successfully infiltrated the ship, and at this moment she's looking for the science leader. But I have a feeling... that their science leader, Dr. Taiju, is only a decoy,>" (Y/n) said, her voice filled with conviction. Gen's eyes widened slightly at her statement, but he managed to suppress his reaction.

"<Oh~ is that so? Mind telling me more, dear?>" Xeno asked, his eyes sparkling with interest.

"<Well, to begin with, I doubt that our foreign guest, Mr. Gen, would have promptly told us his previous science leader's name,>" (Y/n) continued. "<As a result, I thought he might be using a fake name or another name as a cover-up to avoid being caught. Second, he claimed to be a magician, is that correct? According to what I've known, magicians can use psychological tricks to hide their true identities. I'm not sure, but I have a feeling that Mr. Gen might also be what is known as a 'mentalist,'>" (Y/n) concluded.

As (Y/n) spoke, Gen couldn't help but look at her in horror. This woman is really dangerous, he thought. But he managed to maintain his composure, looking at (Y/n) as if he were unaware of her accusation.

"<We-well, how can you say that, Miss (Y/n)? I'm sure it's just a suspicion, right? Ye-yes, I'm a magician, but I'm an inexperienced one, you see... I-I mean look at me, I'm weak and helpless..., and plus, you don't have concrete evidence...? R-right?>" Gen defended himself, his voice trembling slightly as he tried to portray himself as a vulnerable and naïve person.

"<Hmm... I suppose you're right about that. I apologize for my false accusation,>" (Y/n) said, her voice filled with sincerity. However, her true intention was to expose him to Xeno, who was now deep in thought about her earlier statement.

"<Oh, it's alright, Miss (Y/n)...>" Gen responded, his nervous smile masking his relief. He sweatdropped, still shaken by her revelation.

"<Hmm... I suppose you're right, dear, but first, let Stan and the others finish their mission so we can discuss this later. I'm sure Stan will like to hear your thoughts,>" Xeno said, kissing (Y/n)'s hand and releasing her from his embrace.

"" (Y/n) replied, her expression neutral.

Unbeknownst to the two, Gen continued to stare at the group in the distance, his mind racing. 'Crap..., it seems this mission is more difficult than I expected, especially with this very observant lady on their side. She might expose me at any moment! Miss (Y/n) a woman you are!' Gen shuddered at the thought.
