Senku: Alright, mentalist. I need you to trick the power team into hauling another three tons of iron ore. Do it, and a fresh, fizzy bottle of Senku Cola is all yours.
Gen: No thank you, Senku-chan. I’ll pass.
Senku: ....What do you mean, pass? It’s cola. Your loyalty is built on a foundation of sugar and carbonation!
Gen: Yes, well, the market has stabilized, and my demand has been met elsewhere. Now, if you'll excuse me, I have a date with a hammock.
Senku: [Squinting] Who authorized you to have a surplus of joy?
Senku: [Storming into Xeno’s workspace] Xeno! Care to explain why my mentalist is currently lounging in a lawn chair, refusing to do manual labor propaganda?
Xeno: Shh. Not so loud, Senku. You’ll ruin the carbonation.
Senku: Is that.....cola? Why the hell are you making him cola?!
Xeno: Because it is a highly efficient transaction. I provide Asagiri with a premium, scientifically perfect beverage, and in return, he acts as a human shield.
Senku: A human shield?!?!
Xeno: He stands outside my door and tells the primitives that I am "manifesting scientific breakthroughs" so they stop barging in to ask me how to build a toaster. It is a small price to pay for peace.
Senku: [Staring at Gen, who is now drinking cola out of a fancy wine glass with a tiny umbrella in it] You sold me out for Xeno’s cola? Ten billion percent unacceptable.
Gen: Oh, come now, Senku-chan! Don't look at me with those scary science eyes. It’s just business.
Senku: I'm literally re-inventing modern civilization from scratch for you.
Gen: Yes, and I am eternally grateful! But Xeno-chan’s recipe has a delightful hint of vanilla, and all I have to do to get it is stand in a hallway and look mysterious. Your jobs involve getting yelled at by Magma.
Senku: Traitorous mentalist.....I'll just have to adjust my recipe to include caffeine. We'll see who wins the monopoly then.
