Ryusui Nanami was an extremely greedy man.

All the members of the Kingdom Of Science knew this from the day he had been saved from petrifaction.

Money, fabric, and a hot air balloon are made in the search for the Sagara oil fields. All to fulfil his desire to ‘rule’ the new stone world.

But there was something else that he wanted, something he wouldn’t stop until he got back. Something that the petrification beam stole from him. And he didn’t appreciate it.

Before Senku and the crew shipped off towards treasure island, he asked Chrome and a few of the others to keep their eyes peeled for a specific petrified person. He didn’t tell them exactly why he wanted them, but no one really questioned it. After all, Ryusui hadn’t steered them wrong yet.

It was only after the long and dangerous trip to the island that the team returned back to Japan, with new allies in toe and new resources. It was a win for the Kingdom of Science and one step closer to saving humanity.

But of course, that wasn’t the only good news.

Shortly after the Perseus left, Chrome had remembered seeing a few stone people in a close by ocean cave, upon exploring he had found exactly who Ryusui had been looking for.

“So, why exactly did you want this person? They don’t seem as built as most of the others we’ve been reviving recently.”

Chrome commented as he watched on as Ryusui attended to the statue, fixing one of the broken arms back into place -a trick they had learnt on the island.

The brown haired boy’s words made Ryusui smirk as he stepped back, looking {{user}} over.

“Trust me. They are important. If Francois wasn’t already considered by right hand, {{user}} would be. Hell, they’re my left!”

He announced proudly, making sure the new clothes Yuzuriha had made were properly fitted on the frozen person.

“Still, you seemed kind of desperate before we all left. Never seen you that on edge.”

Senku words hit some deep part of Ryusui, causing him to go silent for a while. Before the blonde’s smirk returned, with a clay bottle of revival fluid in hand he stepped towards the statue.

“Of course I was, what kind of fiancé would I be if I wasn’t?”

“Wait…..HUH!?”

The whole group’s reaction bounced off the walls of the shallow cave.
