The great revival of Yuri Kosaka

"Eh?! Today it's kangaroo meat. Are kangaroos edible?" On the way, Mayuri Shiina looked quite surprised when she learned that Yuri Kosaka bought a bunch of kangaroo meat today.

Let’s not talk about why kangaroo meat is sold in supermarkets here. In Mayuri Shiina’s inherent impression, she always feels that kangaroos are not edible animals.

"According to what is said on the Internet, people eat food from the country of origin quite frequently." "Hey~~~That's it, Mayuji doesn't know about it at all." After briefly talking about some Australian knowledge found on the Internet, Mayu Shiina said The manager seemed to accept the fact that kangaroo meat would be dinner for the night.

"I'm back." The supermarket was not far from the lab. Not long after, the two returned to the lab. Mayuri Shiina opened the door first and walked in very calmly.

"I'm back from shopping too." "Huh? Did Yuri and Mayuri meet on the road? Forget it, it's a blessing anyway." Seeing Yuri Kosaka behind Mayuri Shiina, Hashida Zhi was a little confused. How did the two of them meet?

However, judging from the time, the probability of the two meeting each other was very high, so it was just a casual question.

"Tsk, isn't there any broadcast today? Oh, I'm a little concerned about the follow-up of that TV series..." Next to him, Okabe Rintaro was adjusting the TV channel, which was the same as Yuri Kosaka's original choice. He also tried to watch Loyalty Zang at first.

Unfortunately, the broadcast was suspended this week. The TV screen was not the familiar period drama, but a broadcast of a certain county baseball game.

"Okarun is really awesome. He actually left immediately after giving me some clothes. Fubuki-chan and Maple-chan were very disappointed not to see Okarun." "That's why I left... Tsk, I saw it recently. There are really more and more guys who make strange expressions when looking at me." Although Okabe Rintaro's eyes were fixed on the TV, some of his attention was also on other people. ” Because he sticks to his own style without making any changes, most people who have watched Steins;Gate will be able to spot the striking similarity between Okabe Rintaro himself and the one in the anime at just one glance.

Although most people don’t know it, most people who know it will think it’s just cosplay.

But there are still very few of them, because of some rumors on the Internet, they will secretly observe Okabe Rintaro, and even try to take pictures.

This occasional situation has slightly changed Rintaro Okabe's daily life.

This has also led to Okabe Rintaro becoming less and less fond of dealing with people he doesn't know recently.

"Hey, bucket, where's the pot used for sukiyaki before? I obviously remembered to put it here, but why is it missing?" "That one was packed away by Oka in the closet above. Look, this is it. "It's not bad, so let's continue using this today." Kosaka Yuri took the sukiyaki pot from the cabinet to the sink and cleared it, then put in the kangaroo meat bought from the supermarket today, and then put it in one after another. some vegetables.

"Good afternoon, oh, is it sukiyaki again? Not bad, sukiyaki." Just as Yuri Kosaka was preparing, Kurisu Makise and Maho Hiya Sada walked in from the door.

But what was different from usual was that Makise Kurisu was holding a bag of documents and the like in her hand.

“Hey, Christina, what’s that on your hand?

"Compared with the common sight, Okabe Rintaro was more curious about what was in the bag in Makise Kurisu's hand.

"This? A questionnaire survey from my professor at the graduate school... Really, what's so good about this kind of thing?" "Questionnaire survey?" Makise Kurisu's answer left Okabe Rintaro a little confused. mind.

"Since you are interested, you can also fill out one." Seeing that Okabe Rintaro was interested, Makise Kurisu took out one and handed it to Okabe Rintaro.

"This is really...excessive." Rintaro Okabe didn't know who Makise Kurisu's professor was, but he was stunned for a moment when he saw the title.

Because on this questionnaire, there is only a character with two ponytails sitting on the ground with duck legs, but with a dull expression and a primitive body.

The content of the question is as follows: Please answer whether the character in this picture makes you cute. If so, please write why. If not, please write why.

Chapter 527 Videotape

"...But why would the assistant professor conduct this kind of investigation? Is your research institute, Christina, the place where this kind of research is conducted?" The dull expression of the cute girl on this questionnaire made Okabe Rentaro didn't know how to evaluate it. He didn't understand the significance of conducting this investigation.

After all, Makise Kurisu is a student at a serious university, and the research institute where she works is also a serious university research institute.

"Tsk, this is just Professor Reskinen's personal interest. Damn it, you actually use the professor's power in such a place..." Maho Hiyasada, who came with Makise Kurisu, replied with a headache.

That professor's abilities as a researcher were outstanding, but he was also obsessed with Japanese culture of unknown meaning.

This resulted in the other party often giving very weird topics, and as his students, Kurisu Makise and Maho Hiya Sada were already used to such things.

"This is really... a very interesting professor." "Interesting? Regardless of ability, I can only describe it as weird." "Maho-senpai, if the professor hears this, he will definitely treat you badly. Preaching, let you call him something very mysterious." "So this kind of place is super troublesome." During the conversation between the two, a rough image of the professor emerged among everyone in the lab, but No matter how you look at it, it's not a positive image.

"It's almost time." "Is it almost there? Well, there's still a little time, but I can turn on the TV." While chatting, it was already time to start the weekly Steins;Gate.

So Okabe Rintaro turned on the TV, selected the channel, and then set the recording time in the video recorder underneath.

"Speaking of which, it seems that the recent VCRs have begun to use discs and the like?" Seeing Okabe Rintaro busy at work, Makise Kurisu looked at the VCR and said as if she just realized it.

After all, this kind of video recorder in the form of a video tape is already a very early technology, and other technologies appeared many years ago.

"Don't talk about optical discs. The latest models are already sold that can record videos directly on the hard disk." Hashida Zhi, who is quite familiar with electronic products, added that this is a common sense issue for him. .

"Then, why don't you use that one...Ah, I understand, do you have the same love for this kind of old thing as the Tennoji uncle down there?" Before Hashida Zhi answered, Makise Kurisu Tenreigai had A flash of inspiration occurred, and considering her impression of Hashida Zhi, she guessed with certainty.

"Although there are certain reasons for this...but to be honest, it is more because of the popularity rate." "Popularity rate?" Hashida Toru's words made Makise Kurisu stunned for a moment. She originally thought that she had not thought of it. What a mistake, I didn't expect Hashida to suddenly talk about this.

"Yes, penetration rate. Although technology has indeed improved a lot in recent years, and sales of digital disc recorders and the like are very good, but..." Hashida cleared his throat and spoke in a voice that sounded like he was making an academic analysis report. The tone of voice began to explain.

"According to my survey, the statistical sales of digital optical disc recorders nationwide were around 443 million units the year before last, and 560 million units last year." While speaking, Hashida turned on his computer and found part of the data he found. used to support his point of view.

"In other words, 117 million units were sold a year? In this case, it won't be long before all of them are upgraded to digital disc recorders." "But the TV sales last year were 2644 million units, which set a new record!" " Wow, this is really..." Looking at the data that Hashida Zhi pulled out from the Internet, everyone in the lab showed quite surprised expressions.

Although this is knowledge that I feel I will never need after today, it is still a great experience.

"According to some surveys, about 2644% of domestic televisions are equipped with video recorders, and [-]% of the [-] million... I don't have to say the answer." "That is to say... In fact, the video recorder is in the form of a videotape. still

Is it mainstream? " After a little mental calculation of the data, Makise Kurisu realized that what Hashida said was correct.

Not counting total sales, but only counting last year, compared with the 117 million new digital disc recorders sold, the number of video tape recorders that are still in use is definitely the largest number.

"But why is this happening... In theory, isn't it true that new products sell better as they sell?" Although Makise Kurisu understood this from the data, logically speaking, he was a little confused. After all, the old products Video tape recorders can still occupy such a large market share.

"Ah, maybe Mayuri knows the answer to this!" After listening to the two people's discussion for a while, Mayuri Shiina, who was nearby, suddenly thought about it and seemed to understand something, so she raised her hand and answered.

"Very good, let Mayushi here answer the question for the confused Makise!" As if it was a joke, Hashida imitated the hosts of those quiz shows and handed over a non-existent topic. .

"Video rental stores, it must be because of this. I remember that the business of those video rental stores is very good." "Eh~~ Is it because of this? But when I pass by occasionally, I see more of CD rental stores. Ah." Makise Kurisu is not very convinced, although she does feel that there are still many video rental shops on the street.

But in contrast, there are not a few CD rental shops, but more of them are rental shops that combine the two. There are not many that only operate one type of store.

"It's in the process of transformation. In fact, it can be seen from the fact that so many digital disc video recorders are sold. Although the mainstream is still video tapes, it will transition to the digital age in the future... It's hard to say at this time." "Oh oh oh , the sukiyaki is almost ready." When Hashida was chatting with everyone, Kosaka Yuri was not idle either. He had already prepared everything and put it into the rather large sukiyaki pot to stew.

Because time was limited, the soup base I used was sukiyaki bought in the supermarket, but I bought a relatively expensive brand, so the taste shouldn't be too bad.

The only question was how the kangaroo meat he bought would taste in sukiyaki.

"Huh? Why does the shape of today's meat feel a little strange?" Makise Kurisu, who didn't know it was kangaroo meat, looked at the cut kangaroo tail meat and seemed to be wondering about the raw materials.

Chapter 528 21 Gates of Destiny

"Uncommon meat bought in the supermarket... Makise-san, try it. It must have a different taste." "I always feel a very bad premonition..." After hearing Kosaka Yuri say, Unusual meat, Makise Kurisu immediately sounded the alarm about this sukiyaki.

"What exactly is unusual meat?" Not only Makise Kurisu, but Okabe Rintaro seemed to be wondering what kind of meat this was.

After all, it doesn’t look like common pork, beef, chicken or the like.

"This shape looks a bit like a crocodile... Could it be crocodile meat?!" "Crocodile? Talking like this, maybe it looks a bit... similar?" "No, no, no, it's too different, although I don't I know what kind of meat this is, but it doesn’t look like the meat of a waterway amphibian like a crocodile." Seeing the people next to him starting to speculate about crocodiles, Hashida quickly denied them.

Although Hashida Zhi didn’t know what kind of meat it was, Hashida Zhi couldn’t find any on the Internet, so in his memory he had the impression that crocodile meat was similar to fish meat, similar to frogs.

The meat Yuri Kosaka bought didn't feel that way no matter how you looked at it.

'If we return to the beta world line, Makise Kurisu will die. ' 'Then the hacking begins. ' 'Wait!Hacking………………Aborted. ' Just as they were discussing this difficult-to-guess-the-answer question, this week's Steins;Gate began to play on the TV screen.

After a little talk about last week's plot, the theme song started playing.

"Ah, let's start." "Sit down first, sit down." "Gu, if you don't know what kind of meat it is, it will be a little uneasy to eat." Seeing the animation start to play, several people stopped doing those fancy things. .

But because Yuri Kosaka didn't say what kind of meat was used today, Makise Kurisu looked a little uneasy.

So, she stared at Okabe Rintaro with her eyes, as if she wanted him to try it first.

"Hey, assistant, what do you mean by looking at me? If you want to eat it, of course it will be you, the assistant, first. Don't you know? After all, the assistant should exist to test poison!" Unfortunately, Okabe Rintaro Obviously not wanting to be the first to pick up the napkin, she even thought that Kurisu Makise should be the first to taste it.

"Hey~~ Is Rintaro Okabe so unwilling... Then, Yuri, what did you buy?" Seeing Rintaro Okabe being so unwilling, Mayuri Shiina thought about it, then turned around and tried to Ask Yuri Kosaka himself, who came here to buy the meat.

"Stop! Mayuji, don't let Yurishi answer. If you announce the answer directly, you won't be able to see the change in Okarun's expression." Unfortunately, this move was stopped by Hashida Chi.

Hashida Zhi seemed to really want to see Okabe Rintaro's ghostly expression, and stopped Kosaka Yuri from answering directly.

case.

"But, if it is some kind of strange meat..." "No, didn't Yuri say that it was bought from a supermarket... In other words, at least it can be bought in a supermarket. Legal meat." "That being said, it seems true..." Although Mayuri Shiina was a little worried at first, it was indeed what Hashida said.

Since it is meat that can be bought in supermarkets, there should be no problem normally.

As for whether the meat of any animal is acceptable, that is another matter.

'I know... I know... I know... I know... I know...' After the animation theme song ended, a series of continuous cicada sounds came from the TV screen.

Rintaro Okabe in the animation plot is currently lying on the rooftop under the hot sky, looking at the sky and thinking about something.

'Where's Okabe? ' 'Unknown!I'm very busy! ' In the lab room, Makise Kurisu, who could not find Rintaro Okabe, asked Hashida Zhi, but did not receive any answer.

If you look carefully, you can see that at this time, Hashida has already put on a set of equipment for fighting in the comic market, and is leaving as if he is going to the battlefield.

"Hey, why are you still participating in CM at this time in the animation?" "Hey, have you forgotten that the time in the animation keeps jumping back? They have already participated in CM countless times in the animation. "It seems true to say so. Mayuri-chan in the anime seems to be on her way back from participating in CM every time...cough, cough." Makise Kurisu felt something was wrong as she spoke. After all, Mayuri Shiina herself was next to her, so she coughed twice and ended the topic.

"What kind of meat is this?" While they were discussing the plot, Okabe Rintaro had already tried to take a bite of the meat in the sukiyaki.

The slight fishy smell from chewing made him frown a little, but it was not to the point where he could not swallow it. The taste was also very strange, quite chewy, and he needed to chew for a long time.

In terms of deliciousness, this is definitely out of the question, but in terms of not being delicious, it's actually not that bad.

Rintaro Okabe obviously didn't know how to evaluate this meat.

"Eat it, Oka Rin has eaten it, what do you think of the taste?!" After seeing Okabe Rintaro eating it, Hashida Zhi made an exaggerated expression and tried to ask about the other person's current situation.

"...Ordinary?" After swallowing the piece of meat completely, Okabe Rintaro thought about how the piece of meat made him feel, and said with some uncertainty.

"Is it normal? Oh, by the way, Okaren has already eaten it. Yuri, can you tell me what kind of meat it is." "Hey! Isn't this something you should try before asking?" "Well, anyway. Gang Lun has already eaten it for us, so we can just know the answer directly." "The label in the supermarket says kangaroo." "Kangaroo... hmm? The Australian kangaroo?" "That should be that one. That's right." Because Okabe Rintaro's reaction was ordinary, Hashida Zhi, who was still guessing what kind of meat this was, was stunned for a moment, as if he had not thought of the answer at all.

"Kangaroo, I really can't guess this...why is kangaroo meat sold in supermarkets?" Rintaro Okabe, who had no idea what it was, looked at the sukiyaki on the table again. , let alone he didn’t expect it, he felt that at least [-]% of people would not guess that there would be kangaroo meat in sukiyaki.

After all, kangaroos are exotic animals, and they can usually be seen only in zoos, not on the shelves of the meat section of supermarkets.

'What's wrong with him? ’ ‘God knows, if he suddenly said that he wanted to terminate the hacking... what was his plan? ' On the other hand, Mayuri Shiina and Kurisu Makise in the anime plot are still thinking about what Rintaro Okabe was thinking when he suddenly stopped hacking Sern.

Chapter 529 Some changes

'I heard that the maximum temperature is 35 degrees...' In the anime, when Rintaro Okabe was lying alone on the rooftop thinking about life, Mayuri Shiina came from the entrance.

This made Okabe Rintaro support his body with his arms and prepare to stand up and talk to her.

'The most important thing to prevent heat stroke is to drink enough water. ' When Rintaro Okabe stood up, Mayuri Shiina handed over the prepared bottle of mineral water.

'Are you going to CM today too? ' 'Well, I'll go there later. ' 'Well, be careful on the road... huh? ' Looking at Rintaro Okabe who was sitting in the sun and didn't know what he was thinking, Mayuri Shiina thought for a while and put her hat on the other person's head. "'The sun outside is very strong~~Goodbye, Dudu." "Mayuri..." Looking at the hat on his head and Mayuri Shiina who is about to leave, Rintaro Okabe is there. When the other party was about to leave the rooftop, he called out to stop the other party.

After that, the scene changed and Rintaro Okabe chose to marry Mayuri Shiina.

Participate in this CM together.

"It seems like Rintaro Okabe in the anime can't make a decision." Although Rintaro Okabe in the anime didn't say anything, it actually felt like he said a lot. After all, he was the one who manually stopped his original plan.

"The problem is that I don't want to continue doing anything. If I hadn't been reminded of it in the last episode, I would have almost forgotten it." "Then what would Okaru do in the anime... Sure enough, he would choose to delete it in the end? "Although Rintaro Okabe in the anime was very conflicted at this time, after seeing this all the way down, Hashida Zhi in the audience felt that Rintaro Okabe would choose to delete the original email in the end.

"That's the right choice. I should say the same thing in the anime... Hmm~~ It's really weird, this kangaroo meat." Although Makise Kurisu doesn't know how the plot of the anime will progress next , but she felt that her words would definitely make Okabe Rintaro delete the d-mail.

At the same time, she also picked up a piece of kangaroo meat that Okabe Rintaro said tasted very ordinary, wanting to see what ordinary meat tasted like.

The result is...it's really hard to describe.

The soup of sukiyaki is salty and sweet, and is based on mirin. In theory, it can suppress most of the fishy smell.

Even so, there is still a faint smell that seems to be that of kangaroo itself.

I don’t know if it’s because the kangaroo meat itself is like this, or if it’s caused by being frozen and stored.

Although these flavors have little impact, they do make the taste not so delicious when you eat it. To sum up, it is just okay.

[August 8th] [Every time the d-mail is revoked, Mayuri's death will be delayed day by day] [The beginning is the end of the 17th, and it moves forward with the revoking of Suzuha's d-mail. On the 13th] [Phyllis, Rukako, Moeyu... Every time the cancellation is extended, the day will be extended] [In this world line, death will come to Mayuri on the 14th. Today Before 17 o'clock in the evening, before that...] Although Rintaro Okabe in the anime followed to participate in CM, he was obviously unhappy.

While others were enjoying the CM carnival lively, he watched from a corner as the participants in the distance enjoyed the celebration that was only held twice a year.

What his brain was thinking about was what he had done these past few days, wondering when Mayuri Shiina would meet her end.

Compared with when he first discovered Mayuri Shiina's death, it can be said that Okabe Rintaro doesn't have any drastic mood swings now.

This can't be blamed on him. After all, no matter how cruel the scene is, once he has experienced it countless times, even if he will still react, he will definitely not be able to go back to the original time.

'Oka Ren~~' While Okabe Rintaro was thinking about this, Shiina Mayuri trotted up to Okabe Rintaro with some trophies.

'Did you find what you were looking for? ' 'Hmm~ It was almost sold out, and the bucket share has been successfully secured. Oh, by the way, there are also robot animations that Oka Lun will like. Do you want to check it out? ' '......No, I'll forget it. ' Faced with Shiina Mayuri's invitation, Okabe Rintaro refused casually.

If he had not experienced this series of things, he might have accepted Mayuri Shiina's proposal, but at this moment, he really had no intention of watching robot animations.

'Why?It was obviously hard to come here...' This made Mayuri Shiina feel quite puzzled. After all, it was Okabe Rintaro's own decision to come to CM, but he did nothing after he came.

'I've got some things I'd like to think about. ' 'That's right...if there's any place you want to visit, you have to tell me. ' '…………' 'Are you okay?Want to go back? ' Because he was thinking about his own affairs, Okabe Rintaro didn't seem to ignore Shiina Mayuri's words.

This made Mayuri Shiina feel that the other party's condition was not right, and asked with some worry.

'Ah...cough, what are you talking about? The so-called thing you want to consider is the assassin of the agency in this venue. You have to find a way to strike first. If you act rashly, you may be discovered. We have to act according to the plan until evening. ' Okabe Rintaro, who realized that he had forgotten to reply because of his thinking, calmed down after a moment of panic, and began to speak in the tone he often used before.

'Mayuri doesn't think there is such a bad person~~' Maybe it's because Okabe Rintaro uses a familiar tone of voice from Mayuri Shiina.
