Great time travel

Chapter 8, only [-] yen to eat hot pot!
The Grim Reaper, who can summon meteorites to turn the earth into a Shura field, arranges killings and takes people's lives invisible, only pawns the price of [-] yen?

This price... feels like a bit of a trough. Could it be that the god of death is sold as a prank and scare toy?

If this is the case, the guy who uses this thing to play pranks will definitely cry without tears!How unlucky it must be! !

Well, anyway, this Reaper has been sold.Then... How can I eat hot pot with only [-] yen?
Well, for the vast majority of ordinary people, this is indeed a difficult problem to solve.

After all, in Japan at the beginning of the 21st century, five hundred yen was enough to buy a slightly higher-end ramen at best.

However, for Doraemon, who has great powers, this is not a problem at all.

Because, he can use the Japanese yen of this era to buy Japanese goods in the Meiji and Taisho eras through the [chronological vending machine]—of course, according to Japanese prices at the beginning of the [-]th century or even the end of the [-]th century.It was a good time when you could buy a large bag of candy for only one yen, a hardcover Japanese dictionary for two yen, and an imported bicycle for eighty yen!

Therefore, with the [-] yen pawned "Reaper", Doraemon easily bought the best hot pot utensils, hot pot seasonings and smokeless charcoal, as well as beef, mutton, sea fish, prawns, A lot of ingredients including bamboo shoots, mushrooms, potatoes, radishes, vegetables, and tofu.

Of course, there were no supermarkets and convenience stores in the Taisho era, and there were no frozen foods, so these ingredients were fresh and unprocessed.However, with Nagato Yuki's knife skills comparable to that of a senior surgeon in a first-class hospital, it is easy to cut them more neatly than the ingredients in a self-service hot pot restaurant.Uh, by the way, the kitchen knives are also bought from the [chronological vending machine], and the average knife is about [-] yen.

In short, Nagato Yuki shaved the beef and mutton into thin slices like shavings at an astonishing speed, then made mutton rolls and beef rolls, and then cut potato slices and radish slices deftly.His quick movements and sophisticated techniques prevented Wang Qiu, Nan Lixiang, Ah Xu and others who wanted to help at all from intervening.As for Miss Ma Tong, she was concentrating on teasing a little girl with crooked braids.

Eh?What?A little loli with crooked braids?In the SOS group, which is a group of high school students, where did the little loli come from?
Well, this loli is raised by Ah Xu's family—although Ah Xu's parents still refuse to enter the teaching building that seems to be collapsing at any time to hide from the rain, but I heard that there are good things like hot pot inside, Ah Xu My younger sister, referred to as Xu Mei for short, came bouncing around with a cat in her arms.

Therefore, Ma Tong, who can be called the top fanatic lily girl, immediately waved a lollipop weapon that came from nowhere—a lollipop, and rushed towards her with bright eyes, "... so cute little sister... ...Come on, call me sister~ sister~~ As long as you are obedient, sister will treat you to a lollipop!"

Looking at the strawberry lollipops dangling in front of her eyes, the little girl tilted her head in doubt and blinked her eyes: "...Sister?"

While talking, Xumei's upturned shofar braids were still swaying from side to side like foxtails.

"... um... so cute... Ah Xu's younger sister is really cute~ It can't be done... let my sister hug..."

Ma Tong showed an obsessed expression as if he was about to squirt nosebleeds, drooling like a zombie with open arms and pounced on him.

"... um... help... I can't breathe..."

Xumei, who was suddenly subjected to the stunt of "holding a sister in her arms to kill", had to struggle hard in the suffocating and enthusiastic embrace of senior sister Ma Tong.

"...It's okay, let my sister give you artificial respiration!" Ma Tong said seductively with staring eyes.

"...Um...artificial respiration?" The little girl who was still in kindergarten seemed unable to understand such a complicated vocabulary for a while.

"... Let go of my sister! What are you going to do to someone else's sister?"

It wasn't until this time that Ah Xu, who was belatedly aware of it, yelled loudly and rescued Xu Mei from the state of "holding her in her arms and killing her".

And this little girl with shofar braids, after taking a few breaths and calming down a little, began to shake her brother's arm again, with a look of excess energy, "...Ah Xu, Ah Xu... Who are these big brothers and big sisters who I don't know? And what happened to the sister who suddenly hugged him just now? Her expression looked so scary, as if she was going to eat him... "

"...Some of them are... my classmates, and some... Oh, don't shake it... Probably the friend that sister Kasuga knew." Ah Xu introduced intermittently under the shaking attack of his sister, With a helpless expression on his face.

"...Hehe, I'm sorry, little sister, Ma Tong-senior is born with this kind of virtue, she goes crazy when she sees cute things." Wang Qiu also leaned over to have a haha, and apologized, "...Anyway, you'd better Stay away from this strange sister, and be careful that she eats you!"

"...Ah? Eat it? Wow, I don't want it——"

As a result, Xumei, who was still in shock, burst into tears with a "wow" when she heard the words.And Ah Xu also glared at Wang Qiu...

All in all, Wang Qiu and Ah Xu finally calmed Xu Mei down after another round of fuss.

At this time, this cute little loli with shofar braids was humming a nursery rhyme with incomplete tone, while holding a plate of chopped small pieces of fish, and feeding it to the variegated cat named "Shamisen".

"...Hey, brother Ah Xu, I have to say, the name of your cat is really strange? Does it really mean the material of the piano leather?"

After pondering the name of the "Shamisen" for a while, Wang Qiu couldn't help but say with emotion - as far as Wang Qiu knows, one of the very important materials of the famous Japanese traditional musical instrument "Shamisen" is cats. Skin... So, naming a cat "Shamisen" feels like calling a python a leash, a crocodile a leather bag, a koi carp sashimi, and a pet pig luncheon meat. .

——It seems to contain some kind of indescribable, very subtle, terrifying aura that makes people want to complain.

"...Uh, maybe that's what it means! This cat was originally decided by Haruhi Suzumiya. She seemed to say that she wanted to learn how to play the shamisen in college, so now I have to prepare the materials...Finally But it was still left to me to take care of - it feels really troublesome to keep a cat."

Ah Xu replied with a wry smile, smoothing the fur of the cat who didn't know it had been reserved, "...But my sister likes it quite a bit."

Well, anyway, before you get skinned alive, go ahead and munch on the fish and enjoy what little life you have left, Comrade Shamisen!
Looking at the variegated cat who was being patted and fed by the little Lolita, squinting its eyes very happily, Wang Qiu sighed, thinking with pity.

Then, beside his ears, Suzumiya Haruhi's loud and clear voice suddenly sounded, as well as the sound of spoons and kitchen knives hitting each other.

"...Bang bang bang! It's time for dinner! The soup is already boiling! Everyone, hurry up and eat the hot pot! The last one who comes over has to do the dishes!"

——When it rains and snows and the environment is humid and cold, eating hot pot is the warmest, and many people gather side by side, eating happily.

Surrounded by the small brass stove lit with red charcoal fire, the members of the SOS group and the guests held the meat slices with chopsticks, rinsed the soup base, and dipped in the seasonings. They were a little cautious at first, but they relaxed a lot after eating. , First they grabbed a limited amount of beef from each other, and then even started to fight for wine-at first, all the high school students just drank drinks, while Wang Qiu and other adults drank beer and wine.But while drinking, the curious student Haruhi Suzumiya snatched Nan Lixiang's wine to "taste", and then couldn't stop, and in the spirit of "It's better to be happy alone than to be happy together", he gave Mikuru Asahina a hard time. After downing a large glass of dry red wine, she turned her mosquito-repellent eyes on the spot...

After that, even Koizumi drank it half-heartedly...Only Ah Xu and his sister persisted in resisting the temptation of alcohol.

"...The meat is great, and the soup is really good too. It tastes so good." Senior sister Ma Tong drank a bowl of soup and praised repeatedly-most of the soup bases of Japanese-style hot pot are relatively light, and can be drunk directly like noodle soup , "...little sister, you can also have a bowl! Eat more meat to grow taller!"

She graciously served Xu Mei a bowl of hot pot soup, which was full of various meat slices and boiled quail eggs.But sister Xu just sniffed it vigilantly, and pushed the bowl of broth to brother Ah Xu——so Ma Tong showed a very hurt expression on his face.And Ah Xu, who was drinking the broth, said that the other party was completely self-inflicted, "...Who told you to attack my sister like that just now, you scared her out of the psychological shadow, okay?"

"... Hehe, you've been dizzy for a while after looking at cute things, and you always feel that your body is out of control." Ma Tong stuck out his tongue cheekily.

"...Is it similar to a temporary physical disorder? The body acts on its own initiative with thoughts?"

"...Maybe it's like this. People's thoughts can often determine the actions of the body without authorization, even if they don't want to do that."

"...Like the legendary 'uncontrollable' passionate murderer and tram idiot? I can probably understand."

Classmate Ah Xu nodded in a serious manner, but his words were filled with the viciousness of a professional slanderer, "... In a situation like this, we should have called the police, but considering that you are a woman, you deserve preferential treatment, so next time If this happens again, I'd better go to a psychiatrist!"

"...Hey, hello! Classmate Ah Xu! What kind of way of thinking is that!" Ma Tong immediately slapped his chopsticks in annoyance.

At the same time, the torrential rain outside the house gradually subsided, as if the God of Reaper had been wiped out.First, it changed from a downpour to a light rain, and then a ray of bright sunlight pierced through the gloomy clouds and fell to the ground, creating a gorgeous rainbow of seven colors... Looking at such a shocking spectacle full of dreams, in school The people who took refuge on the playground couldn't help cheering for rebirth after the catastrophe.

And in the activity room of the SOS group, the people who were full of wine and food were also looking at the rainbow after the rain, and were filled with emotion for a while.

"... Alas, another catastrophe has finally passed... Although compared with the past, this adventure is neither exciting nor thrilling, and even a bit boring, but after everything is over, the feeling of relief and accomplishment is still there. It's just as enjoyable!"

Looking at the rainbow appearing in the sky, Doraemon raised his wine glass, narrowed his eyes and said sincerely.

"...Oh? So, you've taken part in many thrilling adventures before, right? Mr. Robot from the future?"

Haruhi Suzumiya, who was already slightly drunk, swayed the red wine in the glass and muttered, "...can you tell me about it?"

"...Uh! Of course you can! But if I really talk about it from beginning to end, I'm afraid I can't finish it in three days and three nights! Otherwise, I will pick some key points, those that happened in aliens and other worlds Let’s not mention things for now, let’s talk about the various stories that happened on our earth..."

Then, Doraemon told the enthusiastic Haruhi Suzumiya about the Great Demon Land in Africa, the underground dinosaur kingdom and the remnants of ancient civilization...

"...Wow! Hearing you say this, our seemingly ordinary earth is actually full of incredible secrets! Dinosaurs and remnants of the continent of Mu (Note) live in caves deep underground. In Africa There is a lost kingdom of dogs in the Congo Forest?"

Haruhi Suzumiya was fascinated by the magical adventures of Doraemon and those elementary school students, and almost his whole body was "ignited", "...Oh my God! What a wonderful and exciting story this is!" Doraemon, when will you take me to those places together? Well...Anyway, there is an old saying that goes, "It's better to hit the sun than to choose the day." Since all the members of the SOS team are here, we simply go to lets go!"

——As soon as this statement came out, everyone was shocked!

Note: The continent of Mu corresponds to the continent of Atlantis in the Atlantic Ocean, and the legendary "sunken continent" located in the Pacific Ocean once had a high degree of civilization.

The legend of the Continent of Mu was first derived from the hypothesis of modern Western geographers. It was used to explain some incredible and magnificent artificial relics discovered by navigators on the South Pacific islands where only ignorant islanders existed, such as the stone statues of Easter Island and Nanma. The Megalithic Palace on Taal Island.Scholars believe that this is the masterpiece of ancient Mu continent civilization.In addition, some people have found some suspected testimony in the ancient manuscripts of the Mayan ruins.

However, according to the latest archaeological discoveries in recent years, the popular Mu continent hypothesis has been gradually overthrown, but it has not yet completely gone bankrupt.
