[Ishigami Senku, seeing the worried look on Chrome's face, also spoke up.]
"Krom."
"I can assure you."
"What you've seen and heard is all false."
Chrome looked at Senku Ishigami and believed his words without the slightest hesitation.
"I know, I've always known."
"Senku, you know me. I may seem a bit slow, but I'm not stupid."
"Those rumors must have been deliberately spread by someone who doesn't get along with you."
[Krom slammed his hand on the table and stood up, saying...]
Chrome trusted Senku Ishigami implicitly, so even after hearing those rumors, she didn't blindly believe them.
"Did...did those people come looking for you?"
"I think it must have happened."
"Yes, someone did come looking for me a week after you disappeared, asking if I had seen you."
"I also answered no. Those people thought they were going to take me away and interrogate me."
"I didn't expect them to leave right after I said no."
"And it was only when that same group of people came looking for me that I found out you were missing."
[Krom recalled that a week after Senku Ishigami disappeared, around this time, two guys came looking for him.]
At that time, Chrome also learned that Ishigami Senku had disappeared, because Ishigami Senku hadn't been in contact with him as much as usual during this period due to the experiment.
Therefore, Chrome didn't take it to heart, simply considering it as Ishigami Senku's experiment entering a crucial phase.
"Um, may I ask how Ishigami Senku disappeared?"
Inside the pizzeria, Krom asked the two people who were leaving.
"The reason is quite simple: Dr. Senku Ishigami stole military secrets and escaped."
After speaking, one of the guys left immediately, seemingly not giving Krom a chance to ask further questions.
"Where have you been these past few months?"
After recalling the events, Chrome asked Senku Ishigami.
"I escaped to a very remote place."
"But I never expected that even after escaping to such a remote and isolated place, I would still be found."
[Ishigami Senku sighed and said, "He was being so careful, even when using the computer and communicating with Mr. Ran."]
[He shouldn't have been discovered by Takagi Soichiro and the others, but since it had already happened, Ishigami Senku didn't want to delve any further into how he had exposed himself.]
"Because you made Gintoki drink the gamma beverage."
"You made me go to the hospital, so you were exposed."
Sakata Gintoki stared at Ishigami Senku on the light screen, completely baffled as to how Takagi Soichiro had discovered his whereabouts.
Sakata Gintoki felt terrible at the thought of drinking the beverage that contained Ishigami Senku's blood rich in gamma rays.
Now, Sakata Gintoki doesn't want to drink juice anymore, and he especially doesn't want to drink anything green, because seeing green things reminds him of the gamma drink he drinks in the light screen.
"If that's the case..."
[After hearing Ishigami Senku's words, Chrome turned his head, glanced at the curtain to make sure no one was outside, and then whispered.]
"You're on the run now, aren't you?"
"Why are you whispering? If you're on the run, it's not just now, it's always been a run."
"Really? Have you seen Big Tree and the others?"
"I've seen him."
"Really? What did they say?"
"No, I just watched them from a distance; I didn't go up to greet them."
"After all, I'm the one who hurt them, and I almost accidentally killed the big tree."
[Ishigami Senku clenched his fists as he spoke.]
Senku Ishigami always remembered that after recovering from his Hulk form, he learned that Taiju Oki had been admitted to the ICU because of him.
[And upon arriving at the hospital, I saw with my own eyes the large tree on the hospital bed and the little guy crying uncontrollably beside it.]
"Is there anything I can do to help you?"
"If it's convenient, I'd like to have a bed to sleep in for a few days."
"That's easy, you can stay in the guest room upstairs."

"Oh, right, there's one more thing."
[Ishigami Senku suddenly thought of a good way to sneak into the university, and this method would depend on Chrome's shop.]
【"What's up?"】
"You'll find out tomorrow."
"Delivery boy."
"Using pizza delivery as a pretext to sneak into the university is not a bad idea, given the current situation."
Ayanokoji Kiyotaka immediately guessed what the other thing Ishigami Senku was talking about was.
"Ding ding ding."
The next day, Senku Ishigami also changed into the employee uniform of Chrome's pizzeria.
[Then, still not entirely sure, Senku Ishigami added a little more decoration to his face to disguise himself, and then rode his bicycle towards the university.]
He easily slipped in, but that was only the first step; the real challenge was getting into the place next.
Once inside the building, Senku Ishigami secretly hoped his plan would work.
"Hey buddy, all five of you have ordered takeout."
Senku Ishigami was secretly pleased to see that the gatekeeper was new and didn't recognize him.
"There's no one left on the fifth floor."
The security guard glanced at Ishigami Senku, then at his uniform; he recognized the uniform.
"Dude, can you pull some strings? Maybe you have connections up there."
"I'll be in big trouble if I don't receive the money. Please, let me go up."
[Ishigami Senku said, taking off his hat and making a troubled expression.]
The security guard was sizing up Senku Ishigami, while Senku Ishigami was also sizing up the security guard.
"Luckily, I was prepared."
Seeing the security guard's indifference, Ishigami Senku decided to unleash his ultimate move.
"If Ishigami Senku is a very talented scientist, then has he concocted a very potent sleeping potion?!"
Elena watched as Ishigami Senku, visible through the light screen, prepared to unleash his killing move.
Ishigami Senku is a very capable scientist, so Elena also believes that Ishigami Senku must have concocted a very powerful drug.
And coincidentally, she was curious about these things, about all kinds of medicines.
"Oh, by the way, I have an extra 8-inch pizza. Here, take it."
"This is a bribe!"
"Ishigami Senku, he... he's that bold!"
"Judging from the appearance of this building, it must be a very important place, the kind where experiments are conducted, and it's off-limits to unauthorized personnel."
"This is bribery, and it's even done with a slice of pizza."
"Too, too, too bold."
Goto Ichiri was shocked to see Ishigami Senku on the screen trying to bribe the security guard to let him go up.
How can there be such a brave person?
"Ruined!"
When Goto Ichiri saw the security guard suddenly stand up in the light screen, he also felt that Ishigami Senku was going to suffer.
The security guard stood up when he heard Ishigami Senku trying to get him to let him upstairs by offering to deliver pizza, and looked at Ishigami Senku with a serious expression.
Senku Ishigami was also preparing to escape.
The security guard used one finger to pry open the pizza box that Senku Ishigami handed him, glanced at the pizza inside, and then gave a wicked smile.
