Hey, part-timer!
Take care of the front.
Okay!
I didn't say that!
You said it'd be more efficient if we took breaks...
Well, you're the one who needs to rest every few steps.
We need to hide from Organization pursuit.
No one's chasing us.
Okabe Rintarou!
What's that?
You want to know?
Normally, it would be top secret,
and I wouldn't be able to just tell you...
Oh, come on!
If you're going to take your sweet time, then put it down!
Endure, assistant.
Then stop making a big deal out of it and just tell her!
Don't be stupid.
This item is of the utmost importance.
If we don't make a big deal out of it here,
then where should we make a big deal out of it?
Is it an IBN 5100?
She found out, Christina!
Where'd you find one?
It was kept at Yanabayashi Shrine,
where I, the mad scientist chosen by God, Hou—
I said, put it down if you're going to take your time!
Makise Kurisu...
Y-Yes.
Who's this?
A part-timer at the CRT TV Workshop...
Um...
Hey! Part-timer!
What do you think you're doing?
Why was she glaring at me?
Because you look like a thug.

Rendezvous
It's really big!
Like a tiger rug!
Or maybe a mattress.
Mayushii is lying on my shirt.
The sight warms my heart!
Okay, let it down slowly.
I know.
Kurisu!
Sorry for coming by so suddenly again.
You can come whenever you want.
You're a lab member, after all.
Yesterday, she said she'd never come back.
You change your mind quite easily, don't you?
I'm not here because I want to be!
You're the one who asked me for help.
So you don't want to come here?
Huh? N-No, that's not it. It's not that I don't like this place.
So, what's in the box?
You want to know?
Normally, it would be—
An IBN 5100.
Seriously? Wow!
Way to go, Okarin!
He does things only an Okarin can!
And that's why we love him—
I don't admire him, though.
A-Anyway, boot it up!
We found it thanks to Mayushii.
Yeah.
You get all the credit for this.
It turned on.
Now you can analyze that program code, right?
It's not that simple...
I don't know how to use this thing.
It predates the Internet,
so I can't hook it up to anything.
For now, I'll need these parts.
You heard the man.
Take care of it, assistant.
I'd like you to stop talking to me like that.
You're my assistant.
N-o-p-e.
Okarin, you go.
Miss Makise probably doesn't know Akiba.
Very well.
Mayuri, let's go!
Mayushii will do her best to show Kurisu around the lab so she'll like it!
So, I'll stay here.
Christina, you...
Don't tell me you've ensnared Mayuri with your feminine wiles as well—
I did no such thing!
Miss Makise seducing Mayushii...
Girls' love is in the air...
Stop imagining those things, pervert!
It's nice for girls to be together, isn't it?
Anyway, why don't you show me around?
Okay!
We'll start with the shower room.
It has a shower...
But sometimes, if you use it for too long, the water gets cold, so be careful!
You mean... you use this?
Yeah, once in a while.
Please promise me you'll never use the shower here again!
It's too dangerous!
Don't look at me.
It's suicide.
Actually, what are you doing here, anyway?
Did he threaten or blackmail you into becoming a member against your will?
Mayushii is Okarin's hostage.
I should call the police.
Wait!
She just said she was your hostage.
That's real evidence.
Not at all.
Mayushii became a hostage on her own!
What does that mean?
I'll be going.
Bye!
I'm pretty sure this should work as a replacement...
Yo!
Think you'll be able to use that IBN 5100?
Don't say that name here!
Collecting parts?
Want some help?
I didn't expect a part-time warrior to be so knowledgeable about PCs.
Yeah, I once knew someone who knew a lot about IBN.
Really?
I'd like you to contact them for me!
It's impossible.
If you refuse, you'll experience the worst hell this world has to offer!
I said it's impossible.
Don't you value your life?
Because, the person I'm talking about is dead.
He died years ago.
I'm sorry.
No, I should be apologizing for earlier.
Did my assistant do something to you?
Nothing.
Like maybe she glared at you first...
I know! She snorted at you!
That's not it.
She hasn't done anything.
Then...
She doesn't know anything yet...
But be wary of her.
What do you mea—
Bombing?
They're broadcasting the fireworks show.
That's today, I think.
Fireworks... Fireworks...
I've heard of those!
You've never seen any?
Where are they? Which way?
Go out that way, toward the river,
and you should be able to see them.
Thanks!
Give me your email address.
A festival?
Fireworks!
Fireworks, huh?
Do you want to go?
Not really...
Oh, Okarin!
Heading home?
Did you find the parts?
I've got them all right here.
I see...
So, you're going to start experimenting.
Interested?
You are, aren't you?
Ah, geez! Just a little, all right?
But I'm not interested in that SERN conspiracy nonsense.
I just want to know the truth.
I'm sorry.
For what?
I'm heading back to the lab.
I see.
Then Mayushii is going home.
Okay.
Kurisu?
Yes?
You'll come again, right?
Yeah.
I'm a member until I return to America.
Yeah!
Bye!
What was that?
You're my assistant, of course you're going to the lab.
She said you're childhood friends.
How did you grow up in the same environment and end up this socially awkward?
Mayuri has always been a bit of a weird one...
I was talking about you!
First message!
Part-Time Warrior
First Message
More than I imagined! Fireworks are great!
More than I imagined!
Fireworks are great!
It never worked again after that, huh?
Oh, I'm borrowing this.
Lab coats always calm me down.
Perfect!
I was right...
You're perfect.
Wh-What's wrong? You're creeping me out.
A lab coat!
In a research organization, a lab coat is the uniform!
I keep telling Daru and Mayuri, but neither of them seems to understand.
You understand, though.
Now, let's both stand with our hands in our pockets!
Hurry up!
L-Like this?
That's right!
This is something only possible for those who spend their lives in research.
The pose of radiant intelligence!
I'll give you that lab coat.
Let us bask in this glory together...
I really do feel like you're mocking me.
Are you hungry?
Shut up.
I haven't eaten since lunch.
Very well.
I'm in a good mood today.
Bon appétit.
Seriously?
Are you dissatisfied?
Of course I am!
Isn't there anything else?
I've got some cup ramen I bought.
But I imagine you wouldn't want it,
being raised in America and—
Cup ramen?
I'll have some cup ramen.
What flavors?
Soy sauce and salt!
I'll have the salt flavor...
and a fork too.
If you don't hurry, time will run out, and you'll lose.
Why not give up?
That's a virus card at the end, isn't it?
I can tell.
You may think that if you'd like.
Then I'll just put this here.
Okay, ready.
You like Dr Pepper, assistant?
I spent seven years in America, after all.
I'd love to drink with you sometime...
Unfortunately, I'm a minor.
I meant someone to drink Dr Pepper with.
That's it?
That's all I meant.
We can partake in the intellectual experience that is Dr Pepper...
Stop trying to look at my card while you're saying that.
All right, I win.
To be honest,
you're not very good at thinking strategically, Okabe.
You only consider your own strategy.
Your opponent's plan, or whether there's a trap or not...
You never think about th—
Wait!
What?
What did you say?
I said you're not good at thinking strategically.
I-It's true, isn't it?
Before that!
You said Okabe, right?
S-So what?
I'm younger than you,
but for someone I have no respect—
No!
My name is Hououin!
How many times must I tell you, Christina?
Call me...
Hououin!
Alternatively...
Kyouma is fine too...
Are you crying?
I'm not crying!
I definitely wasn't terrified by a guy screaming with a scary face,
and I didn't start crying from relief afterward!
That's not what happened!
Daru, why is my assistant crying?
She just told you herself.
And I put this here... What? Huh?
If this goes here, then this goes here...
Assistant.
I'm not your assistant, but what?
Why don't you head back to your hotel for the night?
It's close, isn't it?
Don't worry.
If it doesn't work by morning, I'll head back.
You don't need to talk to your family?
My mom's in America,
and I haven't spoken to my dad in seven years,
so I don't have anyone I need to contact.
A prodigal perverted genius girl, then.
Stop making it even weirder.
Got it...
Got it!
You did it?
Mission complete second!{Engrish}
So what's the result?
I haven't seen anything yet,
but I got the Z-program...
It says 1973?
Yeah...
When was SERN founded?
1954.
When was the IBN 5100 made?
1975.
SERN gave the IBN 5100 a special programming language just for this plan?
That's going too far.
But it's possible.
Once we read this report, we'll know, right?
I'm sure it has nothing do with conspiracy theories.
It's probably just an old particle physics report.
A JPEG? Seriously? Screw you!
I can't copy and paste that!
It's not in French?
Um, "Time Control and Its Destruction of History"...
Oh, yeah. Miss Makise can read English.
Well done, assistant!
Everything you did in America was for this moment!
The hell it was.
Let's see...
In other words, SERN's raison d'être in the 21st century
is to create a utopia spanning the past, present, and future.
A utopia...
Dystopia!
No way!
Anyway, show me the main contents!
Even if you tell me that...
Hmm... For security reasons, this experiment...
That's not it.
Those engaged by the program...
No, that's not it either.
Got it.
The Z-program will experiment
with the possibility of transference through space-time via high-energy proton collision...
Space-time travel...
It's about time travel!
No way!
It's true!
I knew it! SERN's been experimenting time travel for forty years!
Wait!
It's too early to say that.
Program Stage One:
Construction and implementation of the Large Hadron.{K: Does NOT say Collider}
Program Stage Two:
Implementation and tuning of the lifter.
Lifter? What's that?
It was on the news a while back, remember?
The thing they called an ionocraft.
It's floating?
Supposedly, the phenomenon occurs when you run a high voltage through aluminum.
Does that have anything to do with a time machine?
I don't know, but that's what it says.
In other words, they'll use a black hole's power and the lifter.
What else does it say?
Program Stage Three: Animal experiments.
Program Stage Four...
What's wrong?
Human experiments.
"Human is dead, mismatch."
What's that?
Part of an email we found when we first hacked in.
Didn't the rest of it say...
"the details are in Jellyman's report"?
Daru, can you find the report?
I think so, but...
isn't that a bad idea?
If this is real, it's top secret stuff!
After all this, you're scared?
Think about it.
We're up against SERN,
and the report's a top secret thing, hidden for over forty years.
Then you're going to ignore it?
You should go home.
If you learn any more,
you'll be in danger too.
You're a genius with a bright future ahead of you.
Are you worried about me?
Of course I am!
You... You're my assistant.
Thanks,
but I'm not going home.
I'd be too bothered by this to sleep.
You won't regret it, will you?
I won't.
What about you, Daru?
Well, I'm a super hacker.
I wouldn't screw up so badly that they'd catch us for just looking at the report.
Very well.
Then we'll now begin our analysis of the Jellyman's report!
Furthermore, this operation's name will be
Laegjarn's Chest!
Why Norse mythology?
And why does it even need an operation name at all?
Daru, begin the operation!
Right away.
Is this it?
There are fourteen files total.
I'll pick one at random.
Jellyman's Report 10.
Subject: James McCarthy.
American.
Experiment Date: 01/28/2005.
Z-Program 4 Experiment Result:
Human is dead, mismatch.
That again?
It was believed he couldn't survive infinite compression via supergravity,
or passing through the singularity inside the Kerr black hole.
A newspaper article?
Looks like it.
Look at the date!
April 3, 1921.
A man was found dead,
on 14th Avenue, New York, buried inside a wall.
The body of this unidentified man
was found to be soft, like jelly...
What does this mean?
It means that, even if it isn't complete,
they've succeeded in time travel?
Report 8.
Subject: Linda Hill.
British.
Z-Program 4.
Experiment Date: 02/15/2004.
Experiment Result: Human is dead,
mismatch.
October 2, 1972.
The body of a woman was found
in a jelly-like state on a road in Dharmapuri, Tamil Nadu, India.
After being abandoned,
the body was believed to have been hit by a car, destroying the bottom half.
What about this one?
Report 7.
Subject: Michael Lang.
German.
Z-Program 4.
Experiment Result: Human is dead, mismatch.
A Japanese newspaper?
May 24, 1936.
A body was discovered at the foot of Mt. Hiei in Kyoto.
Fourteen of these?
Want to keep looking?
No, that's enough.
Okarin...
I'm going to get something to drink.
He seems pretty shocked.
But why do they turn to jelly?
From the data I've seen,
I believe SERN is focusing their time travel research on the use of Kerr black holes.
That would mean they're cramming 10 grams into
-21
a space of 10 meters cubed and sending it to the past.
-19
It would be like trying to fit this sponge through this hole.
As a result,
the contents gush out.
So, it's really tight.
Yes.
They're forcing something into a really tight spot.
That explanation's really erotic, you know.
What's ero...
Hashida, you pervert!
I think you have a considerable imagination too.
Don't compare me to you.
What are you going to do?
Don't just stand there.
I know it's shocking.
But now that we know this,
we have to reach some sort of conclusion.
Okabe?
Conclusion?
What other conclusion could there be?
We've got Future Gadget #8,
the Phone Microwave (name subject to change).
We'll complete a perfect time machine before SERN!
Then, we'll change the world's ruling structure!
I can't keep up with you.
