Ace in the Hole on the Ship of Science (
Summary
Needing Kohaku to infiltrate the harem selection, Senku and the recon team express doubt that she can successfully adapt to the role of a maiden. To help her, Senku needs the materials still aboard the Perseus.
However, the Petrification Kingdom, led by Ibara, has already seized the ship. Kohaku leaps towards the ship, enraged after seeing Ibara break the statues of her comrades, but is stopped by Kirisame. After a brief scuffle, Kohaku yells out "lab", a word not known to the natives, and Soyuz guesses that she is hoping someone is still alive on the ship to hear and understand this message. Gen exploits this tactic in order to also stop the fight. He brings Senku over, but loudly referring to him as "Lab", and pointing out that Kohaku was looking for her boyfriend as they were on a date. Kohaku quickly catches wind of what Gen is doing and plays along. She grabs Senku and kisses him, which shocks both allies and foes. Internally, neither of them found it pleasing, though Gen seemed very amused by this display. Kirisame is flustered by getting involved, and she leaves the scene.
Aboard the ship, it is revealed there is a survivor, Ginro who hides among the cargo, afraid to respond to Kohaku's plea.
