    Summary

    The moment the system finally activates without errors, the entire team gathers around.

    Everyone stares as even the ones who don’t fully understand the science behind it can recognize the scale of what they’re looking at.

    But Senku doesn’t look at their reactions, instead, his eyes scan the crowd.

    And then he notices it.

    Gen looks bored. Actually bored.

    That never happens, not even once.

    Usually, the mentalist is right there, eyes wide with disbelief, throwing out some dramatic comment about how impossible something looks. Gen’s reactions never get old. There’s something oddly satisfying about watching someone who makes a living reading people struggle to process Senku’s inventions.

     

    Or: Gen doesn't react to his invention anymore. Senku's goal? He wants to see the amazement and disbelief on the mentalist's face again.

    Summary

    "Gen," Senku said, voice lower than usual. "Need to talk. Privately."

    Gen raised an eyebrow, playful mask sliding into place automatically. "Oho? Senku-chan wants a secret meeting? Should I be flattered or scared~?"

    "Look," Senku started, exhaling sharply. "Sapphire's... persistent. She's starting to interfere with work. Keeps showing up during critical experiments. Distracts the team. I need her to back off."

    Gen tilted his head, amused. "So tell her you're not interested. You're good at being direct, Senku-chan."

    "I did. Multiple times. She thinks it's 'tsundere' or some nonsense. Village girls hear too many old romance stories or something." Senku grimaced. "Science doesn't have time for this drama."

    Gen chuckled. "Poor Senku-chan, the heartthrob of the stone world. What do you want me to do? Hypnotize her? Stage a dramatic rejection scene?"

    Senku looked at him then—really looked. And there was something vulnerable in those eyes. Fear? Anxiety? It was so out of place on Senku's face that Gen's teasing died in his throat.

    "No," Senku said quietly. "I need you to pretend to be my boyfriend."

    "Excuse me?"

    Summary

    “Regardless, your mentalism seems to have failed you, Mr. Gen. I assure you, Stanley and I are simply good friends.” Xeno looks over at Gen then, studying the way his legs are draped over Senku’s lap. His eyes find Gen and Senku’s intertwined hands.

    Xeno nods approvingly at whatever he sees. “Not unlike you and Senku.”

    Gen nearly chokes on his own spit.

    The Kingdom of Science has certain assumptions regarding Xeno and Stanley's relationship. Too bad they've vastly overestimated the emotional intelligence of one Xeno Houston Wingfield.

    Summary

    Senku wasn’t the type to believe in urban legends. However, after a forum post leads him to investigate a supposedly haunted lake, he comes face to face with a merman named Gen.

    Gen tries to scare him off, but the scientist isn’t phased. Wanting to study Gen, Senku strikes a deal with him. In exchange for studying him, Senku would break Gen’s ‘curse’. What Senku hadn’t predicted though, was that he would end up caring about more than just his research…
