"Senku is really gone now, huh," Yuzuriha said he vanished into the forest below them.

"Yeah so now we have to go find Tsukasa by ourselves now" Taiju replied.

Though looking for Tsukasa was not as easy as the two of them thought that it would be. They really had no idea where they were exactly at the moment thus no way of knowing where he was either. They only managed to get this far because they were following Senku who knew what direction they had to head to get to Hakone in this Stone World.

After all, there were no maps or anymore visible landmark for them to get a barring of their location now. Even more so when they just ran away from him in just the opposite direction that he was in at the moment with Senku at full speed.

"If we just walk back the way we came than eventually, we will make back somehow," Taiju said.

"That not exactly wrong but..." Yuzuriha replied as she did not have any better idea of how to find Tsukasa herself at the moment.

So the two of them just kept walking in the direction they had come from just hoping they would run into Tsukasa or that he would eventually run into them.

Eventually, he ended up doing as after his encounter with that girl that seemed basically seemed to be a native to this Stone World rather than seeking out the rest of her people. Deciding that it would be better not to get involved with them. After all, they might not be able to understand his way of thinking also there was a chance she was not one their strongest members or that there were various people at her strength level to deal with.

If she alone was that powerful than even if he was stronger than her on his own. It's just that he was on his own and they could eventually take him with numbers or he could get injured in this place where he would have no real way of repairing or dealing with the damage.

Better to work with known quantities than unknown ones after all. If Taiju and Yuzuriha were still out there than they would be alone like he was now. Since they were both alone and only he knew the way back. They would probably end up having to look for him is they wanted to get back where they called home again.

Sometime later...

Yuzuriha woke up from a nap that she had taken to see she was being carried by Taiju as he was running and apparently Tsukasa was there alongside him.

"He found us while you were taking a nap and now you are all heading back home pretty much," he told her.

"Though are you two really going to help me as I did kill Senku you know," Tsukasa asked.

"There are only the three of us here in this Stone World so we have to work together if we want to make it," Yuzuriha told him.

'So that girl was alone than' Tsukasa thought

He thought she was there with others getting how she was ready to fight. Then again this is no longer the Earth we knew back than but a Stone World. So it possible that having a weapon on you is needed for heading out.

'Good he most certainly thinking that Senku is dead and does not realize that the depetrification formula does not just undo the petrification. It also heals the body from things that should have been impossible to do. Like broken necks for example,' she thought

If Tsukasa was aware of this fact than he might think Senku would have some left on him and/or that merely breaking statue was not enough. That fully destroying them would be needed to complete his goal. Thus making her job of putting them back together again almost truly impossible to accomplish. Just doing it normally was already going to be hard enough.

While Taiju was really thinking about anything at the moment as this was all part of Senku's plan and his role was merely to watch over Yuzuriha at the moment. When he needed to do something else he would just know what to do. That just how it has been between the two of them after all
