Just as I suspected. A great shadow lurks behind SERN. Most likely the Organization, or one of its puppets.'
What Organization, you chuunibyou nutjob? At least try to be serious some of the time.
The name doesn鈥檛 matter. You remade it? Why...
To send a message to the past.
So you're saying worldlines are independent?
Like trains, maybe.
You should leave.
Why are you suddenly--
...
You raised a flag.
You're right. This one got split too.
I wonder what's causing it.
Fine! Then let's hear alternatives! Don't tell me you rejected my idea without having any bright ideas of your own!?
I think it needs to be something easy to understand. It's an email that regresses through time, so how about Retromail?
So basically, you like to experiment on other people while you watch and cackle at the results! You truly are a mad scientist!
Why you--
Gh...

Well, if it isn't my assistant. What are you doing here?
Hey. When did I become your assistant?
...Mayuri?
No... no!
I'm trying to minimize our risk by choosing an amount that's just right. Stop being so stubborn.
...No, you.
So Lukako shall be a lab mem from this point forth. Any objections?
Here.
Yeah...
...
Such pessimism is unbecoming of a scientist sworn to uncover the secrets of the universe.
I'm telling you to know your limits.
I'm going back!
But what if it fails!?
...Yes.
Whatever. So where are you going now? Take me with you.
What Hououin Kyouma desires is the destruction of all who would call themselves gods, the collapse of their hateful System, and a glorious new age of Chaos. Muhahaha!
I'm not asking Hououin. I'm asking Okabe.
What is it?
'The purpose of the Z Program is to perform time-space displacement experiments by means of high-energy proton-proton collisions.'
The problem is where the IBN 5100 is now.
You've already found it once. That is, if your memories are real.
What?
You haven鈥檛 come here for a long time, you know? Even Hashida stopped coming...
But I chose to believe my mundane senses instead. I should have had more faith in my powers! I won't make that mistake again.
Want some more?
Cup noodles!?
What flavors?
Titor said he had a 'variable gravity lock system'. He can use that to lock onto the Earth's gravity and ensure he arrives somewhere on the planet's surface.
Titor's explanation on that point was vague.
There is no think. Only do!
What, did you read that off a motivational poster? You're like the classic incompetent boss.
The Time Leap Machine, of course. What do we do with it?
...
Welcome, Christina -- codename, The Zombie!
I won't answer to either. Use my real name, Hououin.
Yeah...
Why do I even try?
Ah... Ahhh...
Okabe?
This is Okabe Rintaro. Sorry, but could you mess with the PhoneWave (name subject to change)'s settings a little, please?
#000000
Don't you what me! What did we come here for!? What are you going to do if you scare Lukako away!?
I'm just treating her like a valuable test sub--
Why...
Because... he's still... my father.
We can't just leave it like this! I have to do something!
Okabe...
Now then. Have you learned anything that could help us complete the PhoneWave (name subject to change)?
Hmm...
...
Anyway, it's important to act with discretion. Don't do anything careless.
Yes ma'am. I'm sorry.
Anyway, what in the hell made you think that Urushibara-san was a boy?
It's me. What's the situation?
#000000
That wasn't my first kiss.
W-why you... You're just a cherry boy!
Hello!?
#000000
But I don't understand. You were raised in America, so how are you so familiar with @channel?
You can browse @channel from America. Need I say more?
And all I could do... was watch!
Getting emotional won't solve anything.
You already have your own spoon, apparently.
S-she said that? I'm gonna kill myself five hours from now...
...ckhaah, haahh, haahh, hah...
Okabe? Are you listening?
Because the Earth is always moving.
Right. Rotation and revolution.
What did she say?
Nothing. She just groaned. I wonder what's wrong with her.
Time and space switch places?
Right now, we can move freely through space and into the future, but we can't move even one minute into the past. That becomes reversed.
She's crazy!
#000000
You traitor!
Good job, Hashida-san!
I understand. I had no idea you hate time machines that much. It's almost like an allergy.
...
...
Are you listening?
...What?
You get a phone call, and suddenly you're like a different person.
Anyway, Lukako. I need to talk to your father about--
Wait! Introduce me properly!
Anyway, I'm going to tail her now. You guys--
No! Get it through your thick skull!
Quantum theory. The observer is an important element to the experiment.
There were four of us here when the discharge phenomenon occurred last time. But before that, it occurred when Hashida-san was alone.
Gh--
Stop it, Papa!
As you wish. Where is your father, anyway?
Aomori.
When we first met...
Tell me, Okabe. What do you mean?
Is that the first thing that comes to mind? You really are a mainstream girl.
#000000
Christina! I ordered you to investigate SERN! What have you learned?
I don't remember being ordered, but whatever.
Your praise does you credit, Christina, but I know you're frustrated you didn't think of it first. Muhahahaha!
Anyway, let's see if we can send another D-Mail.
That would explain the riddle of the PhoneWave (name subject to change). If this world is some kind of simulation, then we can disregard the laws of physics.
Escapism? That's unexpectedly chicken of you.
Same here. No, not in the way he's implying.
Idiots.
Continue, assistant.
At least show respect when you're asking a favor...
Relax. Your Time Leap Machine worked perfectly.
O-of course it did.
...
It would be best to leave physical transfer aside for now. Sending data through time is an amazing feat by itself. We should be satisfied with what we've got.
Anyway, we didn't know each other. That's why I ran away instead of calling for an ambulance.
My hero.
Mayuri is...
You want Mayuri to be happy.
Then the PhoneWave (name subject to change) must also produce mini black holes!
It's a miracle that thing has been so stable.
And you?
Eh!? Wh-what!?
It's a hypothesis. Your favorite thing.
So who stabbed me? Don't tell me it was you.
But...
No buts. My answer won't change.
...Christina.
#000000
Are you... crying?
I'm not crying! It's not like I was scared of you for a second there or anything, and I definitely wasn't relieved when you started talking like an idiot again, okay!?
What do you mean, 'again'?
Something like this happened yesterday. You remembered something we didn't. Uh, what did you call it?
You said you haven't seen him in seven years?
Why do you care about my father?
That's... an anti-gravity device!
Don't be ridiculous. That would be the breakthrough of the century.
No, forget about that. How is this related to time travel?
Converting an entire human to data is impossible.
If you're going to complain, then suggest an alternative. A change to the past that would be both trivial and easy to understand. Got anything?
Um...
That must be the reason why the subjects turned into jellymen.
Since the singularity is still closed, the subject is crushed by its tremendous gravity.
W-wait! Fine. Activate the PhoneWave (name subject to change).
#000000
...Ha, haha.
Explain what happened, Okabe.
Hey... what happened to the PhoneWave?
What? You destroyed it. Did you forget?
Shut up, Mongolian Spot!
I don't have a Mongolian Spot! And when did you see my butt, anyway!?
That鈥檚 not what I鈥檓 talking about at all. I鈥檓 talking about your soul鈥檚 power level. But it鈥檚 cute how you try to hide it, @channeler Kurisu.
Do. Not. Call. Me. That.
Then what do we do!?
Calm down.
What the hell did you say just now!?
Got a problem? I asked what, and then you just--
Mayuri! Contact me at once! Okay? At once!
Okabe? You look kind of crazy. What's wrong?
So if we figure out what it is, then maybe we can save her.
Not necessarily.
Why do you ask?
Ah, no, just wondering! There's no hidden meaning, okay!?
...
Why did the IBN 5100 disappear? Which of the D-Mails caused its disappearance?
...
Okabe.
Mission: Impossible!
Whatever. Just go already.
Christina. I understand your desire to deny the truth. It's difficult to imagine that a guy could ever be so cute, but--
Okabe!
But you're not a hypocrite, and that's what I love about you, Christina.
#000000
Besides, Christina, you and she are enemies, are you not? You protect her from me while plotting her demise? That makes you a hypocrite!
You just don't have standards, that's all.
When we send a D-Mail, the world is reconstructed based on the change we made to the past.
We don't know what happens when you time leap.
C-can such a thing exist?
Nothing in principle stops Kerr black holes from existing. It seems inconsistent, but the math never lies.
Go back to the lab, you experiment-loving girl!
Yeah, okay. So that's the thanks I get for going out of my way to help you. I'm gone. You're on your own now.
...
Hey. Aren't you supposed to go 'muhahahaha' or something?
You and the girl... I'll kill you both!
Don't move!
