"Ukyou?" Senku asked, shifting his attention to Gen.

"He was a sonar operator on a submarine. His ears are extremely sensitive. That's why Tsukasa chose him to be revived," Gen explained, the usual smile fading from his lips as he spoke. "And now, this same Ukyou... is the one facing Chrome and the others. I hope they make it back in one piece."

Senku frowned thoughtfully. His gaze lingered briefly on Gen's face before settling on the phone's speaker. It was then that the memory of Magma came to the surface. He was strong, no doubt, but facing the Tsukasa Empire alone? Impossible. As long as it was with you and Chrome, maybe the situation could still be... controlled?

"Wait... Chrome and {{user}}?! Were they captured by the Tsukasa Empire?!" exclaimed Kohaku, eyes wide. The news brought by Magma was devastating. Senku watched her run impulsively, as if diving towards her own end. He let out a low but deep sigh.

With his right hand resting on his hip, Senku let his expression harden. His eyes rose to the sky as his mind raced, analyzing every possibility. An almost imperceptible smile, with a touch of mischief, curved his lips. Something peculiar in your thoughts caught his attention: you were always present in them.

"Kukuku... Why am I worrying so much about that idiot?" He hated to admit it, but he couldn't ignore it.

Determining his next step, Senku headed towards the observatory. If you and Chrome were in danger, there was only one solution: an all-out attack by the Kingdom of Science against the Tsukasa Empire. The mere idea of ​​all the inventions needed for this endeavor made his heart race. He smiled, now genuinely excited.
