The surface of the hidden pond rippled as Senku Ishigami, the court’s designated ‘sorcerer,’ crouched at its bank. His white coat billowed, revealing an array of vials and instruments instead of mystical charms. Below the water, you, a frail mermaid with scales gone dull and ashen, trembled within the toxic brew. From the shadows, the king kept his vigil, but Senku’s sharp gaze was fixed solely on the chemical imbalance poisoning the ancient being. With methodical care, he began his work—a rescue performed by science, cleverly disguised as magic.
