The great revival of Yuri Kosaka

It should be as weak as a pickled cucumber.

'Hashida Suzu'... It's such a nostalgic name. Do you know Ms. Suzu? ' After a brief conversation, after Rintaro Okabe mentioned Hashida Suzu, Yugo Tennoji showed a rather nostalgic expression.

But this time, he didn't have a sullen face like before the world line changed, just a little sigh.

'Well, how's that guy doing now? ' Okabe Rintaro, who couldn't understand the difference before and after the world line changed, could only ask in the simplest way.

'It's been nearly ten years, and I took a lot of care from her back then. At least I wanted to take care of her. ' 'Is it suicide...? 'Rintaro Okabe, who had just changed the world line with d-mail, didn't know the details.

But after hearing the word ten years ago, I immediately remembered what Tennoji Yugo said last time, and spoke in a low voice.

'What? !Ms. Ling died of illness!I now live in the house where she used to live. ' Hearing the word suicide pop out of Rintaro Okabe's mouth, Tennoji Yugo, who couldn't understand it, immediately retorted.

It seems that in the memory of Tennoji Yugo in the current world line, Hashida Suzu died early because of an illness.

Although both died in similar years, death from illness and suicide feel completely different.

"Hmm...I see. Did you become sick and die?" The change in the world line caused a lot of chain reactions.

The most important thing is that Aman Yin Suzuha changed from committing suicide to dying of illness, which made the atmosphere in the lab much lighter.

At least the atmosphere was lifted a little higher from the abyssal version of despair just now.

Even though it's still a bit heavy, it's at least a normal kind of weight that can make people barely hold on.

"By the way, Yugo Tennoji in the anime actually lives in the house left by Awanon Suzuha." "What's the secret in it?" "Probably." "Can't you think it's just a simple lack of money?" With one There are topics that can be talked about, and the oppressive atmosphere gradually relaxes, and everyone is not as nervous as before, at least it seems not.

As for whether everyone is still muttering about the scene they just watched, that's all.

It was around this time that Tennoji Yugo drove Okabe Rintaro to his house in his pickup truck, which was the house where Awanon Suzuha once lived.

'This bike is? ! ' Just after getting off the pickup truck, a very familiar bicycle in front of him caught Rintaro Okabe's eye.

After all, he still remembered carrying the bike upstairs and stuffing it into the time machine.

Although it looks old in some places, it has been well maintained and regularly inspected and repaired. Rintaro Okabe is convinced that it must be that one, at least in terms of style and color.

'Ms. Ling used to take great care of this car, so I was reluctant to throw it away. As a result, it was left here for ten years. ' It's said to be thrown away, but if it was really thrown away, it wouldn't be possible to keep it for so long.

Yugo Tennoji apparently regularly restores these two new models of antique machines.

'In the beginning, Ms. Ling and I were just neighbors, but one day there was a fire in my house and it was completely burned, so Ms. Ling let me, who had nothing, stay at her house. ' When he was in the last world line, it may be that the death of Awanone Suzuha impressed Tennoji Yugo so much that he didn't say anything about the situation except for the necessary explanations.

However, because this world line was an ordinary death due to illness, Yugo Tennoji did not avoid the topic and talked about it a little bit.

'Before that, Ms. Ling was always alone? ' Seeing that Tennoji Yugo did not avoid the topic of Awanone Suzuha, Okabe Rintaro continued

asked.

'She doesn't look like she's married. Anyway, she's a very incredible person. Why would she be so nice to someone like me who met him by chance... I once asked her this. ' 'Then she replied with a smile: The flow of cause and effect... People always have to rely on the help of other people to survive, so one day, please help other people too. ' 'Oh, by the way, wait a moment... This is Ms. Ling's thing. Do you know what number it is? ' When Rintaro Okabe was listening to Awanone Suzuha's past experiences, Yugo Tennoji seemed to suddenly remember something.

He took out the world line change rate detector from the house, pointed at the constant number on it and asked.

"When Ms. Ling was lying in bed, she always looked at this number, and always wondered, is this number before or after the change? Have I changed this number?" ' And the numbers on this world line change rate detector have indeed changed a bit compared to what Rintaro Okabe saw before.

Chapter 407 False Calmness

"Compared with the previous world line, does this ending seem acceptable?" Normally speaking, the death of Awanin Suzuha, who was so eye-catching and quite energetic in the Steins;Gate animation, due to illness is definitely unacceptable.

But if you look at the comparison, compared to hanging himself out of despair, Awanin Suzuha, who died of normal birth, old age, illness and death after completing her goal, was not that bad.

"If it was from the first few episodes, I would definitely refute it, but after seeing her previous encounters... you are right." Awanin Suzuha's last letter was too impressive, so It's obviously a bad ending, but it gives others the illusion that it's not bad.

Obviously, in fact, nothing has changed at all between the two of them.

"Hmm... Speaking of which, the Suzuha clan in this world line died at the same time as the Suzuha clan in the previous world line?" Now that she had started talking about this, Makise Kurisu thought about it and suddenly frowned, asked somewhat uncertainly.

"Judging from the conversation with Mr. Visual Tube in the anime... it should be the same, right?" Rintaro Okabe watched it together and didn't get any additional information from Yuri Kosaka, so he answered a little bit. Not really sure.

But because both mentioned ten years ago, he guessed that the time difference between their deaths should not be too big.

"But don't you think it's weird? The Suzuha family in this world line died of illness at that age, but the Suzuha family in the previous world line was only mentally unstable at the same time. If she didn't take the initiative to do that, You should be able to live longer than the Suzuha clan in this world line." "Ah, this... this may have become like Mayuri in the anime, ahem, uh, Mayuri. It’s a fixed matter.” Rintaro Okabe originally seemed to want to stop this topic because it involved the death of Mayuri Shiina in the anime.

But after Mayuri Shiina herself gave him an encouraging look, he put it aside.

"That is to say... No matter when Awanone Suzuha travels back to the past, she will inevitably die in the near future?" Considering that when the time is up, Shiina Mayuri will suffer from normal possible death to sudden cardiac paralysis. have.

The same may be true for Awanin Suzuha. Ten years from now, Awanin Suzuha will die due to various accidents.

"It's very possible..." "..." Because there are precedents in the animation, this possibility is very high.

After all, Rintaro Okabe in the anime already had the impression that the other party would die at that point in time, so it is not surprising that the same thing happened.

'The number of the world line change rate has changed, but it still does not exceed 1%...' Rintaro Okabe in the animation inspected the world rate change instrument that Yugo Tennoji showed him.

Compared to when he used d-mail to cancel his last line command, the world line change rate changed from 0.337187 to 0.409061.

Although the number changed was not large, this was the first time that Okabe Rintaro clearly saw the number on the world line change rate detector change.

'Um?At this time...the Yamanote Line is still running? ' After leaving Tennoji Yugo's house, Okabe Rintaro chose to go to the subway as before.

However, Okabe Rintaro, who was just thinking about the problem near the subway, suddenly felt something was wrong, and the indicator lights on the side also transmitted the sound of a vehicle about to enter.

This confused Okabe Rintaro, who had already assumed that the subway would be suspended today. He could not understand why such a thing would happen.

'Wait...Mayuri! ! ' However, it only felt like something was wrong for a moment.

Realizing that the cycle might have changed, Okabe Rintaro's first reaction was to call Mayuri Shiina.

He wanted to make sure that the same thing as before didn't happen to the other person at this moment.

'Damn it...' However, just like the previous times, now after that fateful time.

Okabe Rintaro couldn't get through the other party's cell phone at all, as if the owner of the cell phone was no longer there.

'Mayuri! ! ! ' Unable to get through on the phone, there was nothing he could do. Rintaro Okabe got on the running subway and returned to the lab with the help of this civilized weapon.

It's just that because the station is a bit far away from the lab room, Okabe Rintaro obviously feels out of breath.

But there was nothing he could do about it. As a physical idiot, Rintaro Okabe could be said to have tried his best.

'oh? ' In the lab room, Hashida Zhi, who was controlling the computer and playing games, made a confused sound.

It seemed that he was startled by the appearance of Okabe Rintaro.

But compared to Hashida Zhi, Okabe Rintaro really cares about Shiina Mayuri.

So he looked around and saw the figure of Mayuri Shiina lying on the sofa.

For a moment, Okabe Rintaro thought that the other party had died as before.

However, the slight ups and downs of breathing made him understand that the other party seemed to be just dozing off, and this gave Okabe Rintaro the motivation to act for a moment.

As soon as his expression relaxed, Okabe Rintaro sat down very tiredly on Hashida's narration chair. "For today's matter, Okabe Rintaro spent countless times and spent countless efforts.

Now that things have happened, I can finally change my course of action a little and take a break.

'What's wrong Okon-Lun? ' 'nothing. 'Rintaro Okabe's weird behavior made Hashida confused, but when he heard that it was nothing, he wasn't so concerned.

After all, Okabe Rintaro's convulsions didn't happen every day or two.

But at the end, when Okabe Rintaro turned his head, he saw the hourglass on the side cabinet.

Looking at the hourglass, he had a not-so-good feeling in his heart, mainly because he didn't think things would end so easily.

"Huh? Is Mayuri in the anime okay?" "It's hard to say... maybe it's just that nothing happened yet?" Seeing that Mayuri Shiina, who was supposed to die at a fixed time, didn't make any movement.

Everyone's reaction was basically the same as Okabe Rintaro's.

But if it ends in such a simple way, even they, as spectators outside the venue, find it impossible.

After all, Awanin Suzuha clearly stated that it needs to enter the world line after 1%, and the world line change rate at this time is still around 0.4.

Chapter 408 Hashida Suzu

'Oh, by the way, Mayushi's cell phone rang just now. Could it be that it was Okaren calling?Because she was sleeping soundly, she was not woken up. ' Hashida Zhi in the animation thought for a moment, and suddenly remembered that Mayuri Shiina had just sounded.

Then looking at Okabe Rintaro's current expression, he guessed that the other party's urgency seemed to be related to this.

Huh~~huh~~ Just as Hashida Zhi said, Mayuri Shiina, lying on the lab sofa, slept very soundly.

Even though Rintaro Okabe and Toru Hashida were talking silently in the room, she showed no sign of waking up from her sleep.

'Ah, ah...heh...' Looking at Mayuri Shiina who had not passed away even after the time passed, Okabe Rintaro's expression became very complicated.

From the outside, it is difficult to tell whether he is crying or laughing at this time.

The corners of the eyes may be raised slightly with joy, but the mouth is slightly pulled down, giving the impression of a smile but not a complete smile.

'Suzuha, will the world change in this way? Will Mayuri... be saved? ' Accompanied by thoughts that Okabe Rintaro himself didn't know clearly.

The camera on the TV screen gradually zoomed in and out on Mayuri Shiina.

Then, with a click, the screen went black.

This episode of Steins;Gate ends and the ending theme begins to play.

"It's over?" "Well, it's over..." "..." Unlike usual times when we would talk about the plot after it's over, today's lab was unusually silent.

This silence is even worse than when Mayuri Shiina died in the anime plot in Episode 12.

"...Tonight, @ch should not be calm." "Probably so." After being silent for a while, Hashida Zhi spoke first as if he wanted to liven up the atmosphere.

This more or less dissipated some of the low pressure in the lab, allowing everyone to relax.

"Ah ah ah, don't be so dull. What are you doing with such a sad face? Come on, drink. How can our Future Mechanical Research Institute be so gloomy!!!" After a while, the pressure just now gradually dissipated in time.

Unable to hold himself back, Okabe Rintaro jumped up, opened his arms and cheered.

"Drink? But isn't what you got Dr. Pepper?" "Why can't Dr. Pepper be wine? Bucket, do you have such a narrow definition of wine?" "You dare to say it, then let's drink with you, come on. Come on." "That's right... We can't be so depressed. After all, it's just animation." Okabe Rintaro and Hashida Zhi began to liven up the atmosphere. After the others looked around, they didn't

There was so much silence.

He picked up the Dr. Pepper that Rintaro Okabe handed him and drank it down like a drink.

"Hmm...Mayuji really can't get used to Dr. Pepper." However, Mayuri Shiina, who drank Dr. Pepper along with the atmosphere, showed a bitter face after taking a few sips. It seemed that she was really not used to pepper. Dr. Taste.

Having said that, the purpose of invigorating the atmosphere has been achieved. Generally speaking, this move really made everyone's expressions change from gloomy to sunny, if not sunny then at least cloudy.

In this way, after everyone made a fuss, they dispersed much earlier than usual.

Judging from the fact that they didn't talk about the plot during the show time and today, they did still care a little.

"Huh?" After everyone except Okabe Rintaro left, Kosaka Yuri also went downstairs, preparing to go back.

But at this time, he suddenly saw a person standing under the streetlight on the side path.

That was Yugo Tennoji. He didn't know why he was not in his shop, but he was leaning against the pole of a street lamp with a cigarette in his hand.

"Mr. Tennoji, are you a smoker?" Because Yuri Kosaka was walking in the direction where Yugo Tennoji was, he asked curiously when he got closer, mainly because he had never seen him in his memory. smokes.

"I used to smoke, but I basically stopped smoking after I was born. It's only at this time that I want to smoke...forget it, I will complain." Tennoji Yugo seemed to be recalling something, but in He smiled a little when he mentioned it.

After hesitating for a moment, he threw away the half-smoked cigarette and stamped out the sparks with his feet.

"Huh? Then why did you smoke again today?" Seeing Yugo Tennoji throwing away the cigarette he had only taken a few puffs on, Yuri Kosaka stood beside him, staring at the cigarette that was gradually dimming. Mars.

"Because I had an idea of ​​​​smoking... but I decided to forget it." Maybe it was because he thought of his daughter who hated the smell of cigarettes, Tennoji Yugo smiled a little.

"That's it." Kosaka Yuri wasn't sure what the other person was thinking, so he just responded casually.

"Is that idiot Okarun living there today?" Tennoji Yugo didn't pay much attention to Kosaka Yuri's reaction, and asked after taking a look at the lights in the lab.

"It should be so. Isn't he like this every week since Steins;Gate was broadcast?" "That's right..." Tennoji Yugo seemed to just ask casually, and after getting the answer, that's it. I just don't know. Why did you start staring at the lights in the lab in a daze?

"If there's nothing else, I'll leave." Yuri Kosaka was in a daze for a while, feeling that it was meaningless, so he said goodbye to Yugo Tennoji and prepared to go home.

"Yuri." "What's wrong?" However, after Kosaka Yuri took two steps, Tennoji Yugo suddenly called out Kosaka Yuri's name.

This made Kosaka Yuri a little confused and turned to look at him.

And there, Tennoji Yugo himself did not look back, his eyes were still looking at the light in the lab, and he spoke softly amidst Yuri Kosaka's doubts.

"I know Ms. Hashida Rei..." "Hmm...huh?!" Yuri Kosaka didn't react to Tennoji Yugo's words at first. After being stunned for a moment, he suddenly realized that the other party seemed to have said something important. matter.

However, even though he said something that seemed very important, he still didn't look back. It seemed that he just wanted to say this.

"Oh~~ It turns out that Mr. Tennoji is also watching Steins;Gate." When the other party suddenly mentioned this at this time, Kosaka Yuri also realized that the store manager must have watched the animation immediately, just like the people in the lab. of.

It sounds like he does have a Steins;Gate video recorded on a VCR in his store.

"It's just to see how boring a work that can put a boring person like me is." "Hey~ Is it so boring?" "Ah, boring, very... boring." After that, Tennoji Yugo Not talking, just standing there like a sculpture.
