Nirwana [Saionji Ukyo X Reader] [Dr. STONE Fanfiction]

12th Shot: Forever, This One Moment

After everyone had their injuries treated and clothes changed from the dirty one into a cleaner one, they immediately went their way across the land by the sea led by Tsukasa himself. Most of them carried a woven basket filled with dynamites over their shoulder, Gen still driving the steam gorilla–the vehicle finally resembled a normal car in a size of a mini-van.

An elder named Kaseki and Senku reassembled it since the tank was no longer needed because they reached for a truce. So, they stripped off its armor made of carbon (once again, something [First Name] still couldn't believe existed in this stone world) and exhaust pipes. Senku still keeping them to, knowing they would become handy in the future.

[First Name] felt the need to apologize towards Yuzuriha for ruining the blouse she made for her knowing Yuzuriha probably spend much time in sewing it to perfection and she just ripped it without a second thought. It couldn't be helped prior to the emergency situation but she still felt guilty.

"I'm sorry about the dress, Yuzuriha-san." she confessed solemnly, eyes founding the ground more interesting as she didn't have enough courage to face her. However, the brunette reached for her hands–holding it in hers warmly. It made [First Name] lifted her head slowly in confusion.

"It's alright [First Name]-chan! You did it to save Ukyo-kun. I would've done the same thing if something happens with Taiju-kun!" she smiled. "I'll just make you a new, more fashionable one!"

She let Yuzuriha did as she please with her new blouse in return, the design, color, and all–[First Name] could only hope she didn't make it too revealing like Minami's. Amazingly, it didn't even take Yuzuriha an hour or two to completely finished her new clothes. It was similar to her first one, but there were additional purple-colored cloths on the side that act as bindings much like Yuzuriha's dress. It did let her movement a little bit freely because she was free from her sleeves.

"I never knew you had a sister." Nikki voiced out as they keep walking. Tsukasa definitely heard the statement, but he made no move to glance nor look back.

"You'd been protecting her all that time." Kohaku added.

"Why would such a kind man decide to destroy statues?" Taiju asked bluntly. "That's really bad."

"'Really bad'..." Gen laughed nervously, hands never leaving the wheel. "I mean, you're not wrong. I like how blunt you are, Taiju-chan."

[First Name] couldn't help but smiled at their interaction–the tension was quite heavy, however it was no where near hostile nor menacing. Most of the heaviness coming from Tsukasa alone, who never looked back even if they're asking or talking about his sister. Now, she could see how much burden he carried for years–his shoulders are weary, without a doubt it exhausted him at some point. But he couldn't give up–he can't.

"Why did you decide to do something so horrible as purifying humanity?" Ukyo asked suddenly, which made [First Name] couldn't help but looked at him. He was walking by her side, eyes covered by shadow from his hat.
