Chapter 3 Ep 2: King of the Stone World
Before I start the second episode, do you all want to watch the recap part of the episode?
"No, there is no need for us to watch the recap."
"Why would we even need to watch it? We just finished watching the first episode, I suppose."
So I'm guessing none of you want to watch the opening song either?
"No, can you just start the episode already?"
…This is what I get for asking...
*Episode 2: King of the stone world, begin.*
Senku: This is exhilarating
Taiju: So, Senku, who are we going to revive first?
Senku: We're going to wake up everyone eventually. What does it matter who we start with? Although it would suck if we woke up a murderer right off the bat.
"I doubt they would be unlucky enough to wake up a murderer from the start." Otto thought, but he knew it was still possible.
"Yes, that would be very unfortunate if that were to happen." Julius said as he frowned at the thought of them waking up a murderer and dying, even though it was unlikely.
Taiju: I see.
Senku: I don't feel like choosing who we wake up. Taiju, it's your choice.
Taiju: Thanks, Senku. My answer is obvious.
The screen now showed Yuzuriha by the tree doing a pose.
"Y'h! He can finally confess t' Yuzuriha." Garfiel cheered with a smile on his face.
"He's going to finally do it after so many years." Reinhard had a slight smile on his face knowing Taiju can finally confess his feelings to Yuzuriha.
* Op 1: Good morning world*
The cast was confused as to why the opening was playing even though they told the Warden they didn't want to watch it. They were about to say something but the Warden interrupted them
"Excuse me Warden-sama, I thought you said we were going to skip the song?
Yeah yeah, hold on I'm skipping the opening now.
*Title card: King Of The Stone World*
Scene change to Taiju and Senku in front of Yuzuriha by the camphor tree.
Taiju: The time has finally come.
He then turns towards Senku and looks at the revival fluid while smiling.
Taiju: That water's going to undo the petrification and revive her, right?
Senku: Yeah, it should.
As he said this the screen showed him in the past pouring the revival fluid on a censored out shattered statue.
Senku: I tried it on a piece of a shattered statue and it turned back to a corpse.
Taiju: You're so disrespectful!
Senku: I did try putting all the pieces back together first, but it looks like you can't save someone once they're dead. They made a noble sacrifice. Send up a prayer or something.
Taiju: Right! Rest in peace, rest in peace... Rest in peace, rest in peace…
"He tried it on a shattered statue?! Has he no shame?!" Julius exclaimed with a furious expression.
"He at least tried to put back the pieces before he tried to revive the person." Reinhard tried to reason and calm down his friend.
"Still Rein, kinda inhumane to try it on a shattered statue…"
"I'm sorry Felt-sama."
"Why are you apologizing now?" Felt questioned as she smacked Reinhard on the head.
Then it showed Taiju grabbing a branch while coming closer to Yuzuriha.
Taiju: Sorry I kept you waiting for 3,700 years, Yuzuriha. I'm going to bring you back to life now.
However, before Senku could pour the revival fluid in Yuzuriha, Taiju looked back and yelled.
Taiju: Wait, Senku! Yuzuriha's naked!
As Taiju proceeded to poke Senku's eyes it then showed Yuzuriha naked trying to cover herself.
Taiju: We can't! We can't revive her like this!
Senku with his hands covering his teary eyes responded to Taiju's yelling.
The cast either laughed or chuckled at Taiju poking Senku's eye out before he could revive Yuzuriha. The knights and some others looked away when it showed a naked Yuzuriha but nodded at Taiju not reviving Yuzuriha when she was naked.
"Yeah, they did forget about that maybe Yuzuriha wouldn't want to be naked in front of two boys after 3,700 years." Otto said as he wiped the tears from his eyes from laughing.
"It's a good thing Taiju-san stopped Senku-san before he could pour the fluid on her." Frederica chuckled and put her hands to her mouth as she said this.
Senku: Here we go again with your illogical nonsense… We're in a stone world. It's kind of an emergency. No one's going to care if your butt's showing or if your dick's hanging out.
Taiju: Yuzuriha doesn't have a dick!
Senku: That's not my point!
Taiju then picked up Yuzuriha and told Senku they were going to get some clothes first.
Taiju: We have to take her back to camp and put clothes on her first.
Senku: How heavy is that statue, anyway?
Taiju: Yuzuriha isn't fat!
"Man, they have a really funny dynamic with each other."
"Even mineself must admit these two jesters are quite entertaining."
Taiju then started walking away while Senku slumped his shoulders and looked down.
Senku: That's not my point. I mean, wouldn't it be ten billion times faster quicker to wake her up and have her walk? How illogical can you-
Before Senku could finish he heard a loud growl coming from the forest.
Senku: Wait, big oaf!
"Where did that growl come from?" Emilia worriedly asked as her grip on Subaru's hand tightened slightly.
"Oh no! Maybe it's a mabeast." Petra yelled forgetting that Subaru's world doesn't have mabeasts.
They then stared at where the sound came from nervously for a couple of seconds, but then a lion showed up from nowhere and they started to run away.
"Holy shit! How the hell is there a lion in japan?!
Taiju: Why is there a lion in Japan?!
Senku: Why do you think? It's from a zoo, obviously! The staff must've been petrified while the door was open or something!
Senku: If they get out where no humans are around, every herbivore in the zoo is on the menu. And if they go out in the city, it's a pet buffet! So now they're literally the king of the beasts! In this stone world, the humans aren't at the top of the food chain anymore!
They then fell off a cliff but the vines stopped their fall just enough to save them from dying. They were lying on the ground in pain until they heard another roar and started running again.
"I wonder hoooooow they will get out of thiiiiiis situation." Roswaal curiously asked with a large smile on his face in anticipation.
"Shit! How they gon' survive this?!"
Taiju: Why aren't they attacking us, though?
Senku: They've never seen us bipedals before. We must look creepy as hell to them.
Taiju: We're the only humans in the world.
Senku: They're alarmed, too. But it's only a matter of time now. Even if we get super lucky and make it all the way back to camp, the best we can do is fight them with spears. This game was practically over before it even started!
"He's treating this like it's some sort of game nyah!" Felix yelled out angrily seeing Senku treat this dangerous situation like a game.
"Who cares if he thinks it's a game, they need to run!" Felt shouted while standing up hoping that Senku and Taiju would get out of this situation unharmed.
"But where would they run to?! Senku said himself that they would be very lucky to get back to camp, but even then all they can do is fight them with spears!" Otto answered praying that the two boys would be okay.
Taiju after hearing this closed his in thought but opened them again and threw Yuzuriha over to Senku.
Taiju: I can't let you die, Senku! You're humanity's last bastion, the only one with scientific knowledge. If it comes down to it, I'll be your shield!
"He's plannin 'n sacrificing himself f'r Senku!" Yelled Garfiel, though he would also act as a shield in that situation but he knew Taiju would die if he were to stay behind. And Senku wouldn't be able to get far.
"He's an idiot if he thinks he can take them by himself! They need to run away together, I suppose!"
Senku: No!
Taiju jumped in surprise hearing Senku yell and turned around with surprise and shock on his face.
Senku: Think over it logically! I'm the brains, and you're the brawn. We can't lose either one! If we're going to run, we need to run together!
Taiju: All right, got it!
It now showed a flashback to when Taiju was protecting Senku's machine from three bullies.
Senku: You've never even hit anyone, ever since you were little.
It then cut back to them running away from the lions.
Senku: Your strong suit is fitness, not fighting.
Taiju: Senku, if we can't outrun them, we have one last option… I found him earlier…
Taiju and Senku were now running towards a tree where the strongest primate high-schooler sat.
Taiju: The strongest primate high-schooler, Shishio Tsukasa.
"So they are going to revive Tsukasa instead? But what can he do alone against several beasts?" Crusch didn't believe Tsukasa would be able to handle them alone but she knew it was the best shot they had at surviving.
"I believe it is best to believe in this Tsukasa person's strength Crusch-sama, they must have a reason for calling him the "strongest". Wilhelm calmly stated believing the two boys wouldn't die this early.
He then puts Yuzuriha by the tree and apologizes for not being able to revive her at the moment.
Taiju: Sorry, Yuzuriha. We need someone who can fight right now. If we do defeat the lions, I promise we'll-
Senku: Shut up already. Let's just pour it on him.
They pour the revival fluid on Tsukasa's head but right after they hear the lions again and are surrounded.
"Oh no! They're surrounded!" Emilia yelled stating the obvious.
"This would be a good time for Tsukasa to awaken! Dumbledore- Ricardo said calmly.
Taiju: No! We're surrounded!
Senku: They're coming!
*Crack*
Senku and Taiju look back at Tsukasa slowly breaking out of the stone and him opening his left eye.
Taiju: Sorry! I'm sure you have no idea what's going on after being stuck for thousands of years…
Tsukasa: What's the situation?
Senku looks at Tsukasa with unease and surprise seeing how calm Tsukasa is after being freed.
Senku: Your whole body is covered in stone. Lions from your nine o'clock to two o'clock.
Tsukasa: Okay.
"He seems oddly calm bout this…" Anastasia stated as she narrowed her eyes.
"Yes, but it would be wiser to stay calm rather than panic, My Lady." Julius was uneasy seeing how calm Tsukasa is and immediately asked what the situation was after being revived after 3,700 years.
Right after he answered, the stone on his body started cracking while the lions ran towards them. However, Tsukasa threw the stone from his arms at them hitting Taiju as well.
The male lion after being hit by the pebbles jumped at Tsukasa but he ran towards the lion punching it and sending it flying towards a tree and killing it with a single blow all while Senku and Taiju looked at him with amazement and complete shock.
After Tsukasa killed the lion he glared at the other lions making them back away in fear. He then started walking towards the dead lion and stared at it.
Tsukasa: You can fill me in on the details of the situation later. But I'll promise you one thing: you two will never be in danger again. From now on, I'll do the fighting.
To say that the cast was shocked would be quite an understatement, killing a lion isn't that impressive by their world standards. However, that's because they have magic to strengthen themselves but the people in Subaru's world don't.
"Damn! He killed a lion with a single punch and made the others back away in fear!" Al howled out, impressed seeing how strong Tsukasa is without magic to make him stronger."
"Ahhhhh! Th't was s' cool! Th' way he launched th' stone part 'f his hand at th' lions, punchin one 'f em killin it, and makin th' others back away 'n fear!" Garfiel yelled as he had stars in his eyes witnessing Tsukasa's pure physical strength.
"Rein! Did you see that? He killed a lion with a single blow without magic! Imagine if he had magic on top of that too!" Felt was completely amazed at Tsukasa's physical strength and was curious as to how strong he would be with magic. But as she looked towards Reinhard she saw him sitting there silently in thought.
"You okay, Rein?"
"Ah, I'm very sorry Felt-sama. I was just thinking about something." Reinhard once again apologized. Does Reinhard have the 'Divine protection of apologizing'?
"Huh, why are you apologizing again?" Felt just sighed at Reinhard's habit of apologizing. "So what were you thinking about? It must be something important if you are thinking about it, or maybe it's something stupid again. Now others were also curious as to what Reinhard was thinking about.
"It's just that I noticed that Tsukasa and I sound similar, like Senku and Subaru." Replied Reinhard to his Lady.
"Oh yeah, he actually does kinda sound like you, kinda funny that the strongest in two different worlds have the same voice." Felt just laughed at the strange but funny coincidence.
"That is quite the coincidence, maybe the secret to being strong is to sound like Reinhard." Julius said chuckling joining in on the fun.
"Maybe I shyould replicate Reinhard-kun's vocal cords nyah." Felix smirked giving a mischievous look towards him making Reinhard give a look that said "please don't''.
"Huh, Senku sounds like bro and Tsukasa sounds like Reinhard. I wonder if anyone in future episodes will sound like me." Al curiously stated to nobody in particular.
Tsukasa looked back and smiled as he said this, Taiju also started yelling in excitement.
Taiju: This is great, Senku! Humanity now has brains, brawn, and brute force! The Three Musketeers are all here!
Senku: I get that, but this Shishio guy is way too strong.
Taiju: Is that a bad thing? Isn't it good to have someone like him around?
Senku: What if he turns out to be an evil bureaucrat with insatiable greed? He's overpowered enough to beat down a lion with his bare hands. In a world without guns, he's ten billion percent unstoppable.
Taiju then started imagining Tsuakasa sitting on a throne naked surrounded by girls and telling Yuzuriha to "Come hither".
Yuzuriha: Eek!
Tsukasa: Come hither, Yuzuriha.
"He's got that right, they can't do anythin against Tsukasa if he were to go rogue." Anastasia mused while rubbing her scarf.
"I agree, but he doesn't need to be so wary of Tsukasa." Julius responded.
"Yes, but Senku needs to take in every single possibility even if one of them is Tsukasa being evil no matter how improbable it may be." Crusch added to her fellow candidate's statement.
"I believe Senku is right in being slightly wary of Tsukasa, he was awfully calm after being freed from the petrification after 3,700 years and immediately asked for the situation. On top of that Tsukasa could kill them if they ever did something he didn't like. Wilhelm understood why Tsukasa was calm however, he didn't show a hint of emotion even after 3,700 years and being surrounded by several beasts right after he got revived. Something just didn't sit right with Wilhelm, you could call it a "veteran's intuition".
While some were discussing whether Senku is right in being wary of Tsukasa others didn't care like Felt. She was currently laughing and poking fun at Reinhard since she heard someone with Reinhard's voice say something like "Come hither".
Taiju: No way! We can't let that happen!
Tsukasa: Sorry, but would you mind lending me some butchering tools? A knife, or even just stone tools, if that's all we have.
Taiju: You're going to eat the lion? You can eat lion?
Senku: It's not poisonous. Although it is tough and reeks of ammonia, not to mention it tastes horrible.
Taiju: You've had it before, Senku?!
Senku: When I went to Africa to research Ebola.
Taiju: What kind of high schooler are you?!
"Huuuuuh?! I knew he wasn't normal but he traveled to Africa and fucking researched Ebola?" Al didn't know what to say, a damn high-schooler traveling to Africa to research Ebola of all things. He was both shocked and laughing at the absurdity of it.
"Ebola? Africa? What is nyat?" Felix asked curiously.
"Africa is a country in Betty's Subaru's world and Ebola is a highly dangerous virus and can easily kill you. I don't know anymore because Betty's Subaru hasn't told me more about it, I suppose." Beatrice answered puffing her chest out pridefully since she was the only one who knew. (Al doesn't remember that much from earth)
"And Senku was researching that? That's reaaaaaaally temerarious! Emilia said shocked at Senku's recklessness.
"Who even says temerarious anymore, I suppose." Beatrice answered making Emilia pout even more.
"So he traveled to "Africa" to research a deadly virus? That's incredible, nyah!" Felix was astonished that Senku would travel to another country to research a deadly virus.
Tsukasa: Though it was in self-defense, I did kill it with my own hands. Yes… I want to give thanks to the circle of life by putting all of it to use. That's all.
Taiju once again started screaming like a madman.
Taiju: He's great! Aren't you glad Senku? He's no evil bureaucrat! He's a super good guy!
Senku: I hope so. WelI, I don't have even a millimeter of interest in stuff like gratitude, but I absolutely agree with not wasting meat.
After Senku was finished talking, Tsukasa opened his eyes slowly and sliced the lion.
Everyone in the cast agreed on not wasting meat or well not wasting anything, especially a certain lavender-haired merchant. And some raised an eyebrow to Senku's comment on gratitude.
"I wouldn't say Tsukasa is a "super good guy" but he doesn't seem like an evil bureaucrat either." Sighed Otto, relieved that Tsukasa wasn't a bad person.
"He seems lik' a good guy t' me." Replied Garfiel, but he was kinda biased since Tsukasa was strong and buff.
"Are you sure you aren't being biased since he's strong and muscular, Garf?" Rem's comment just made Garfiel look away whistling.
Scene change to them arriving back at camp.
Tsukasa: The two of you built this?
Senku: Yeah.
Taiju: Hang on for a little longer, Yuzuriha. We'll save you as soon as we have enough of that miracle water… the something-or-other acid.
Now the screen was showing Senku going into the hut by the tree and Tsukasa staring at the "Laboratory".
Tsukasa: Laboratory?
"What does "Laboratory" mean Beatrice-sama?" The little girl maid asked.
"Hmph, I shall educate you once again maid, to put it shortly a laboratory is a place where you study and observe scientific things, I suppose." The blonde heaven-piercing drill loli answered pridefully.
"Thank you Beatrice-sama." Petra said while being a bit jealous that only Subaru tells her these kinds of things.
It now showed the three in the hut introducing themselves.
Tsukasa: I'm Shishio Tsukasa. You can call me Tsukasa.
Senku: Last names don't really mean much in this world, do they? I'm Senku, the sane one who's in charge of the science. That's Taiju, the simple one who's in charge of heavy lifting.
Taiju: I'm Taiju, the simple one. Nice to meet you. If you need any thinking done, ask Senku.
"What a crude way to introduce yourself and a friend to somebody." Julius shook his head in disapproval.
"Like nyou wouldn't do the same with Subaru-kyun." Felix teased making Julius frown and stare at him.
Tsukasa: What do you usually have to eat?
Senku: Mainly wild greens and mushrooms, and the occasional rabbit for meat, when we can catch one.
Taiju: All I ever dream about lately is eating meat until my belly's about to explode!
Tsukasa: Well, you won't be living like that… any longer.
It now showed a montage of Tsukasa hunting boars kicking and killing them, running and jumping off a tree branch catching a bird mid-air, and catching fish with his spear.
Tsukasa: I'll be in charge of fighting and hunting.
Taiju: This is awesome!
Tsukasa: Now that I'm on your side, you'll never have any shortage of prey again.
"Things should go smoothly now since they have Tsukasa with them." Sighed Crusch while she leaned back into her chair with a small smile on her face.
"However this all seems too good to be true." Stated Anastasia, her instincts telling her something bad would happen that would halt Senku's progression but didn't know what.
"Hmph, it seems you do have a brain, be happy that mineself thinks alike with you this time." Priscilla knew that something would go wrong no matter how good things seemed to go, she learned that the hard way in Vollachia.
"Hmm, maybe things actually do go well for Senku and his friends? I mean Tsukasa did promise Senku and Taiju that they were never going to be in danger again with him there." Emilia added, hoping that Tsukasa would uphold his promise and not break it like a certain black-haired boy.
"Guess we'll just have to see, right big sis?" Said Felt also leaning back into her chair like Crusch and relaxing.
Scene change to Senku smoking fish.
Taiju: I see. So if you cook it immediately, you don't need a fridge to keep it from going bad.
Senku: I'm not cooking it. I'm using aldehydes in the smoke to kill the microbes. To put it simply enough for you to understand, I'm smoking it.
Tsukasa: If Senku and I work together, we'll have plenty of preserved food.
Senku: Now we can finally take the first step toward civilization.
Tsukasa then looks right and notices something and walks towards it.
Taiju: We were still at step zero?!
"Al di hides? Mic row bees? Do you know what that means Beako?" Emilia asked the little spirit girl.
"I have told you- never mind. As for Aldehydes or Microbes, I do not know what they are, I suppose." Beatrice was about to tell Emilia not to call her Beako but decided not to since she knew Emilia wouldn't listen.
"So they were still at step zero? So they're going to take the first step to save humanity now?" Said Julius as he put his hands up to his face and closed his eyes.
"Seems so nyah, I wonder what the first step will be." Replied Felix still eagerly waiting for any medicine and healing methods Senku may show.
Taiju notices Tsukasa standing over a rock staring at it, and asks if there's something wrong.
Taiju: Hey, Tsukasa, what's wrong?
"What's he doing?"
"Maybe he found somethin"
Right as Taiju asked, Tsukasa smashed the boulder splitting it in half much to Senku's and Taiju's surprise. But after the smoke and dust had cleared it showed a girl that had been stuck under the rock.
Tsukasa: Sorry for startling you. This person was buried under the rock.
Taiju: He really is a good guy!
Senku: He's a superhero at this point, huh?
"He kinda is one, by their standards." Both Anastasia and Al mused.
"Wait, how do you know what a superhero is, I suppose?" Beatrice questioned the lavender-haired merchant.
"And what even is a superhero?" Petra asked curiously.
"It's a common term in Kararagi that Hoshin the great came up with, little missy." Ricardo answered for her boss.
"A superhero is someone who is a good person and extraordinary. You could say Reinhard is one." Julius added on Ricardo's statement.
"Haha, you hear that Rein? You're a superhero!" Felt laughed out, making Reinhard blush at the compliment.
Scene change to after the three were done eating.
Taiju: Man, I'm full.
Senki: Time for a fun quiz. What's the most important thing we need for a technological civilization? Ten billion points for the correct answer.
Taiju: Technological civilization? The most important thing we need?
"Power!" Garfiel yelled out, making some raise an eyebrow at his answer.
"Allies would be important to have." Thought Crusch to herself.
"Medicine!" Felix yelled.
"Steel or other metals and alloys." Anastasia suggested.
"Oh, I know! Electricity and Smartphones!" Al yelled thinking he was right.
Taiju: Smartphones!
Senku: Sure, smartphones! Smartphones would be nice to have, huh?
"Yeah! I was right!" Al celebrated like a child pumping his fist up.
Senku: How many tens of billions of years ahead are you?!
Al stopped celebrating with an "oh… nevermind." prompting Priscilla to smack him on the head for his stupidity making others laugh at him.
Tsukasa: Steel?
Senku: Steel, too, but that's later.
"I was almost right." Anastasia sighed, disappointed she wasn't completely right.
Senku: There's something more useful. Calcium carbonate.
"Ah, something else we don't know about. Beatrice-sama do you know what that is?
"I am not an encyclopedia, ask someone else, I suppose." Beatrice huffed not wanting to admit she doesn't know what Calcium carbonate is. Otto took the hint and just nodded.
Taiju: Of course! As always, I'm totally clueless!
Tsukasa: Ah, you mean lime.
Senku: Yeah. That's putting it in terms that a simple mind can understand. The stuff they use to chalk athletic fields.
Taiju: So we're going to be looking for a gym storage room to get something-or-other carbonate?!
Senku: Yeah, that's it. A gym storage room. If only there were any still around 3,700 years later!
Those who wanted to know what a gym was looked at Beatrice ready to ask but before they could she interrupted them.
"Hah, a gym is a place where athletes train their bodies to get physically stronger and a storage room is where you store your things before you if that wasn't obvious, I suppose."
"A place dedicated t' physically make ya stronger?! I need th't! I'm gon' ask cap'n if he c'n make one when he wakes up! Declared Garfiel dead set on asking his captain to make a gym.
"Hm, that could be useful for knights to get stronger. I'm also going to ask Subaru to make one." Julius thought to himself.
Senku: You know the shells that have been useful for trimming your beard, big oaf? Pulverize them into powder, and you have that something-or-other carbonate stuff.
The knights, merchants, and Roswaal took out a notebook ready to write down everything they see so that they can use it when they get out of the theater or give it to Echidna as Roswaal would.
"Reinhard, Felis get ready to write down everything you see." Said Julius to his friends as they nodded.
Taiju: All right! Brawn duty, here I come!
Scene change to Taiju running on the beach picking shells, and him pulverizing them into powder.
Senku: Nothing's as exhilarating as calcium carbonate. There are four insanely useful ways to use it. First, agriculture. We use it to blow away all the hydrogen ions. In other words, it upgrades the soil.
"Hmmmmmm I see, crushing shells to maaaaaaake calcium carbooooonate was it? And then using it fooooooor agriculture that is quite useeeeeeefull. Roswall noted to himself so he can not only give the information to Echidna but use calcium carbonate to help the agriculture in his domain.
"This could help me make more money when I get out." Anastasia greedily and happily thought as she wrote down everything she was hearing.
Second, construction. Cook it together with sand and you have mortar. Mortar is basic cement. We can build huge furnaces and houses.
Those who were writing down information didn't care about the construction part but still wrote it down since it could be useful in the future.
Third, soap. Gather sodium carbonate from seaweed, mix it with oil, and the reaction creates soap. Getting sick means game over in this world. This little chunk that keeps germs off of us is our stone of life in a world with no doctors. It's our doctor stone.
Again the ones that were writing down information didn't care except for a certain cross-dressing catboy.
"Yes! Finally, something that has something with medicine or health! Keep those germs away!" Felix exclaimed, happy that Senku was finally talking about health.
"Beako, do you know what a doctor is?" Emilia asked the number #1 loli.
Beatrice looked at her with narrow eyes wanting to tell her not to call her Beako but decided not to again. "A doctor is the equivalent of a healer in our world, I suppose." She answered while puffing her chest out happy that she knows so much of her contractor's world.
Al looked at them and thought "How do they know what germs and other stuff are, but barely know anything about biology and science?" but he decided not to dwell on it too much.
Tsukasa: Senku, you're an amazing man. In the moment after I revived, too. You communicated the situation quickly and calmly. I've never seen anyone as clever as you. I admire you, truly.
"He's starting to become more and more like Rein." Giggled Felt.
"Yes, what a coincidence. He's strong and is a good person, maybe he is the Reinhard of that world." Julius chuckled and smiled at the similarities between Reinhard and Tsukasa.
Senku: A man who praises a man to his face is full of ulterior motives. It's been that way for ten billion years. What's your point?
"Hmmmmmm, he isn't entireeeeeeely wrong however I doooooooo wonder why he is sooooooooo wary of Tsukasa-kun." Roswaal said aloud finally talking after being quiet for so long.
"Senku is quite right, a man who praises another person is always full of ulterior motives. Just like Barusu only acting nice to women so he can do perverted things to them like the dog he is." Ram also talked only because her master was also talking and because she wanted to sully Subaru's image.
Everyone ignored her remark.
"Why is Senku so wary of him? Tsukasa has been nothing but good so why?" Emilia
muttered, upset that Senku is so untrusting of his new ally.
"I agree. However, he must have a good reason for not being so trusting of Tsukasa." Crusch answered her fellow candidate's question. But she also didn't like how Senku acted towards one of his allies.
"But he saved their lives! He doesn't need to be so mean to him!" Petra cried out also upset at Senku.
"Hmph, all you brainless dogs don't seem to understand why Senku is wary of Tsukasa. As expected from braindead commoners, this is why you all should be under my rule." Priscilla huffed while putting her fan up to her face.
"Oh for the love of Od can you just shut the hell up?! Nobody wants to hear your arrogant ass voice!" Fell shouted at Priscilla not wanting her to utter a single word anymore.
"How dare you?! It seems that mineself needs to put a disgusting rat in her place!"
"Oh yeah! I'd like to see you try!"
Everyone else looked at the two candidates in amusement, worry, or irritation.
Al seeing this stood up to defend his princess while also trying to reason with Priscilla.
"Princess we really don-" But before Al could finish talking he got slammed down onto the floor by an annoyed vollachian princess.
"Quiet Aldeberan, you may have spoken sensible words in the previous viewing but this time I will put this rat in her place."
Yeahhhhh no. Sit back down and stop arguing, BOTH of you.
As the Warden spoke everyone that wasn't sitting down got flung back onto their chairs.
Now stop fighting before I do something to hurt you both. Am I clear?
Felt was about to say something about how Priscilla is a bitch and Priscilla was going to say something about the world turns in her favor or something. But the Warden started the viewing before any of them could speak.
Tsukasa: Oh, dear. I really didn't mean anything by it. I have a feeling you might be able to build modern civilization from scratch. Yes. That's all I wanted to say.
Taiju: Whew! So this is how you rebuild civilization, huh?
Senku: Yeah, one step at a time. We're slowly but surely approaching modern civilization.
Taiju: So, what's the fourth thing? You said there were four handy uses for seashells.
Senku: No, three. Didn't I say three?
Taiju: Huh? Did you? Man, even my memory is screwy!
"I'm sure he said four instead of three, right sissy?" Rem spoke up wanting to forget Priscilla's and Felt's little fight.
"Yes, he did say four. Maybe he changed his mind?"
"I belieeeeve he is keeping theeeeeeee fourth use a secret frooooooom Tsukasa-kun" Roswaal suggested as a likely possibility.
"If Roswaal-sama believes it then it must be true." Ram nodded at her master's suggestion and being a simp for the clown.
"As much as I don't want to say this, I do agree with the clown, I suppose." Roswaal smiled seeing Beatrice agree with him, much to the dismay of the spirit girl.
"But why would he keep it a secret from Tsukasa?" Otto quietly thought to himself.
Scene change to inside the hut where Taiju is snoring, Tsukasa staring at the wall with a bitter and cold expression, and Senku outside making a crossbow.
"Is that…?" Julius silently muttered.
"So the fourth use is a weapon." Anastasia answered with a frown on her face.
"But why would Senku need to use a crossbow?" Reinhard worriedly asked.
"He most likely plans on using it on Tsukasa." Crusch answered with a suggestion.
"We knew that Senku doesn't trust Tsukasa but this? Isn't this a bit too much?" Said Ricardo displeased at Senku's distrust.
"But didn't the blue maid also-" Before Tivey could finish talking Ricardo put his hands on Tivey's mouth stopping him from finishing, luckily no one heard Tivey so they were fine.
"Tivey-man don't bring that up, just gonna cause a lot of trouble." Ricardo sternly looked at Tivey with a disappointed look. Then he removed his hands allowing Tivey to breathe again.
Some of the cast just looked at them with weird expressions but didn't say anything.
Now it showed Taiju on the beach running and picking shells, and Tsukasa and Senku on the other side of the beach.
Taiju: Shells! Shells! Shells! Shells! Shells! Shells! Shells! Shells! Shells! Shells! Shells! Shells!
Tsukasa: We're free in this stone world. Shells never belonged to anyone. The same goes for the sea, and the land.
Almost everyone agreed and nodded except for Anastasia and Priscilla. Anastasia believing she could buy everything in the world with enough money and Priscilla believes everything is made of her and only her.
*Flashback to young Tsukasa getting seashells for his little sister*
Tsukasa: There was once a poor boy who tried to make a necklace out of seashells for his younger sister, who was undergoing surgery. His sister loved The Little Mermaid.
"That's sweet."
"Yeah, also is this Tsukasa when he was younger?"
"I believe so, by the way. What is the Little Mermaid Beatrice-sama?"
"Hah, Betty's Subaru has unfortunately not told me about this story yet, I suppose."
"I see."
Tsukasa: But then, a middle-aged man who owned the fishing rights to that spot arrived… and with him, the stench of liquor. The boy who was collecting shells… or rather, according to the man the boy who was stealing shells, was beaten so badly that his face was unrecognizable. He was never able to help his sister be like the Little Mermaid.
*End of flashback*
"That's horrible! He just wanted to help his sister!" Emilia cried out upset that Tsukasa was beaten badly and couldn't help his little sister.
"The hell do you mean he was 'Stealing' the shells! They don't belong to anyone!" Felt yelled, pissed that the man considered Tsukasa a thief, and beat him up for collecting some shells.
"What a despicable man." Julius voiced out his anger at the man that had beaten Tsukasa into a pulp.
"Disgusting pig."
Tsukasa stood there for a few seconds until he narrowed his eyes, crushed the shell in his hand, and punched a middle-aged man's head off killing him. (who presumably was the man in the flashback). The head that had been punched off slowly rolled over to Senku where he looked at it and then looked up at Tsukasa.
Senku: You do know what you're doing, don't you, Tsukasa? You just killed a man.
The cast were either shocked, angry, or horrified at what Tsukasa just did.
"H-h-he k-killed him! Why would he do that?! Petra cried out, completely shook at Tsukasa's action.
"Has he gone insane?! Why would he just kill that man?!" Julius yelled as he stood up from his chair with an angry expression.
"Th' hell?! Why would he kill th't guy?! Garfiel screamed in outrage.
"Hmmmmm, I guess thiiiiiiis is why Senku-kun waaaaaaaas so cautious and distruuuuuusting of Tsukasa-kun.
"Senku was right in being so cautious nyah. Tsukasa killed that man with no hesitation nyah!
Tsukasa: I know that, of course. Senku do you intend to bring back everyone, including the grown-ups whose hearts are tainted? Sure, they'll be grateful to you at first. But as soon as civilization returns, the rich and powerful seniors will say, "That used to be my land." "Pay your rent." "Pay your taxes." They'll rob the poor youth of our future again. We must not bring that world back.
Some of the cast thought that Tsukasa's ideology was wrong and stupid while others agreed with him however, the one that agreed with Tsukasa the most was Felt since she experienced firsthand exactly what he was talking about.
"Hmph! Now you all see why the commoner was so cautious around the primitive. The commoner suspected that the primitive would have a different ideology, and he suspected the primitive even more after their interaction before."
"So that is why Senku-san made the crossbow… in case anything like this would happen."
"I can kinda understand him though…"
"Felt-sama…"
"I mean the nobles in Lugunica are all lazy bastards who do nothing and take all the money away from the poor and young. Just look at the slums damn it."
"His goals are noble but the way he is doing it is wrong." Crusch also agreed with Tsukasa's ideology however the way he went about it was completely wrong.''
"I never said I agreed with how he's going about it. All I said was that I agree with his thinking NOT his actions."
"I think his ideology is idiotic and completely foolish. We need taxes and everything else to function as a society. Without it, we would live in anarchy and chaos, do you all really want that?" Anastasia argued with her own beliefs.
Tsukasa: This is a stone world. An untainted paradise. We'll revive only the pure-hearted youth and live in a natural world owned by no one.
"His beliefs are too extreme, an untainted paradise? Where only 'pure-hearted youth' live? A natural world owned by no one? That would never work, it would all crumble apart. It'd be worse than what we already have!" Anastasia continued with her rant.
"But couldn't we all try to find a good balance? Where we can have a mixture of Tsukasa's ideal world and our own?" Emilia naively asked.
"Forgive me if I sound out of line Emilia-sama. But that thinking is far too naive, a world owned by no one and a combination of ours is impossible since it would never work. Even if it did you would have to take into account all of the greedy and corrupt nobles." Otto answered with his eyes closed and a frown present on his face.
"The only way it could happen is if the world was ruled by a dictator but that would most likely start a revolution and go against his own ideals." Anastasia continued on Otto's point.
Tsukasa then placed his hands on a stone statue's head most likely about to also punch the head off.
Tsukasa: It's a chance to purify humanity. Don't you agree, Senku?
"No, please!"
"Please don't join him!"
He then looked away from Senku and towards the statue reeling his fist back about to kill the man, however before he could kill him Senku put his hands on Tsukasa's shoulder stopping him.
Senku: Not at all. Not even a millimeter. I'm a technology-loving boy who gets excited over mechs and space and Doraemon and stuff like that. I'm going to use the power of science to rescue every single person.
"Phew, Senku isn't going to join Tsukasa."
"But things will be much harder with Tsukasa against him now."
"I woooooonder how he will overcoooooome this."
"Wow, not surprised that he likes mechs and space but Doraemon? Didn't expect that."
"Ah, Al-san you know what this 'Doraemon' is?"
"Yeah, It's a show that I used to watch, though I only remember the name and nothing else."
"Ok, Beatrice-sama has Natsuki-san talked about Doraemon with you?"
"No, he hasn't mentioned it to me, I suppose."
So did you all like episode 2?
The cast was surprised to hear the Warden suddenly talk again. But still decided to answer.
"Yeah, I liked it at least."
"It was entertaining enough."
Good, I'm going to start the ending song now.
"Ah, right this show also has a song at the start and at the end."
"I wonder why they have that."
*Dr. Stone ending 1: "Life"*
The ending theme starts with Senku sitting by a tree looking up at the night sky, then it switches to a bird flying into a forest and a drop of rain landing onto a puddle.
Now it showed people in Japan walking, on the phone, playing games, on their phones, some random guy dancing, and people cheering inside a sports stadium.
Then it switched to two cities, a rocket flying up into space, a sunflower blooming, and people partying.
It was now showing Taiju, Yuzuriha, Kinro, Ginro, Kohaku, Kaneki, Suika, Gen, and many different equations and a young Senku at the end.
Now it showed Senku by the tree again as he got up and started running towards a village.
*Dr. Stone Ep 2: King Of The Stone World, Done*
The cast thought the ending song was a bit weird but some still liked it.
"Well, that was weird."
"But those people again… we saw them in the opening song and now here. They must be very important if they are in both of the songs"
"Yes hopefully, we will see them soon."
A/N
God damn, this took so long. Well here it is after 2 weeks. I kinda rushed this chapter so the reactions may seem ooc, rushed or just overall bad.
I'll fix this chapter up and re-release it later. And I'm also never going to put a date on when I'm going to be done, since we all know how that went.
But now that I don't have to do so much school stuff I can start writing more and hopefully it won't take as long as it did for this chapter.
Well I'm out bye!
