Knock knock!

Shinji opened his eyes and quickly climbed out of bed to open the door.

A familiar face appeared on the display next to the door, and Shinji couldn't help but be overjoyed, and opened the door in a hurry.

"Misato, are you discharged?"

As he spoke, he was ready to pounce on Misato and give Misato a big hug.

"How do you know here?"

"Wait, don't worry. ”

Misato reached out against Shinji's face and moved sideways.

At this time, Ayanami appeared from behind Misato.

"Ayana!"

Seeing those red eyes without waves in the ancient well, it was obviously the first side after regeneration, and Shinji's fiery heart actually cooled down.

Ayanami suddenly reached out and grabbed Shinji's right hand.

There was a sudden cold touch on his hand, and Shinji hurriedly held Ayana's palm with both hands, and said with concern: "Ayana, are you cold? ”

"Ikari-kun. Ayanami called.

"Well, how?"

Shinji sensitively noticed that the cold color in Ayana's eyes disappeared, even though her expression before and after did not change much.

Misato was obviously relieved, and nodded to the side, "It's okay, I've learned to be right." ”

"Based on the ripple characteristics of consciousness, there should be no problem. At this time, Maya, who was dressed in civilian clothes, spoke up.

"Miss Maya, you're here too!" Shinji was a little surprised.

"And me!"

A fluffy little guy suddenly came out of his crotch, hugged Shinji's thighs at once, looked up and smiled, "Ernie-chan, Mali has come to see you too!"

"Welcome, welcome!" Shinji couldn't help but stroke her head.

"With Li checking, I am completely relieved. ”

Misato pushed Shinji away and walked straight indoors, and everyone entered.

Shinji moves out to eat and drink, and Mari, who is cheering, loses his soul and concentrates on dealing with a bag of potato chips and paying attention to the anime on TV.

Shinji came back to his senses, and Misato had already dried half a can of cold beer in his hand.

"Ahh

Misato sighed and slapped the wine jar on the table, feeling so comfortable that every pore of her body was, "This is the true meaning of life!"

"Why, are you worried that I'm not the 'original'?" Shinji said.

"Of course, if you're not you, but something like that," Misato slashed with a knife, "it's better to get rid of it right away." ”

"It is worthy of being a general, and murderous is heavy. Shinji laughed.

At this time, Misato was wearing a crisp military uniform, with a bulging chest, and that overly youthful face, more like a cosplay, than a female officer.

Misato suddenly approached Shinji and looked up and down carefully, "It's hard to trust you like this." ”

"And, you guy......" Misato touched her stomach and asked Maya, "It's only been a few days since you came out, why are you so old?"

Despite already knowing that she had given birth to Shinji, Misato is now in disbelief.

"This ......"

Maya cupped her eyes, "Involved in the complex EVA biochemistry, the occult. In simple terms, the body can directly absorb the nutrients it needs from the LCL solution for cell growth and metabolic consumption. Since EVA is a soulless body, these are instincts of the body. And with the soul of the body......"

Maya pondered for a moment, "It's Shinji's current true state, and self-will can greatly affect the development of the body, which is very mysterious...... The mechanism is also in its infancy due to the lack of samples and data. ”

"That kid ......," Maya looked at Mali to the side again, "and it's pretty much the same." ”

On the surface, she looks about 3 years old, but in fact, it has only been half a year since she had a new consciousness. ”

By this time, Mali had already finished the packet of potato chips and began to concentrate on nibbling on a piece of cake.

"Mali's words are purely foodies. Shinji teased.

"People accidentally ate a little more, I know it's wrong!" Mali couldn't help but pout in protest, his tail still swinging his clothes.

Misato's eyes suddenly lit up, and she couldn't help but step forward and hold Mari in her arms, clinging to her little face.

"Mali is the age of the body, so it's okay to eat more. ”

Lately, she has no resistance to this fluffy little animal, perhaps because the overflowing maternal love has nowhere to vent.

"No, she's already overnourished, and if she eats it again, she'll become a ball. Maya deliberately grimaced, twisting Mari's face in warning.

"Chubby balls are cute too!" Misato reached out to touch Mari's tail again.

"Help!"

At this moment, Mari couldn't stand it anymore, so he broke away all of a sudden, hid behind Shinji, and protested with a small face: "I'm not a pet, I'll be bald if I do this!"

The few of them fought for a while, and Ayanami took the initiative to cook, and Shinji was happy.

Because of the current situation in the city, in the harsh environment of bombing every three or five days and rebuilding every other month, few restaurants can continue. Businesses withered, and the citizens were basically gone, leaving only a few convenience stores to maintain the most basic supplies.

After dinner, Maya and Ayanami left first because they still had work at night.

Before leaving, Mari made a fuss about staying, and Maya thought that she would be bored to go back alone, so she agreed.

Speaking of which, this little guy is quite pitiful, after Zhen Xibo was pitted by Lao Ding, he escaped from death and lived. However, the original driver's identity was gone, so he had to change his name and surname and stay at NERV with a special experimental sample.

If Maya hadn't taken good care of her on weekdays, I don't know what would have happened. Slice research is not enough, and there will be no shortage of blood draws or medicine every day.

It wasn't until Mari showed an ultra-high synchronization rate against the No. 3 beast machine and a strong resistance to mental pollution assimilation during the neural synchronization experiment that she was promoted to a key training target, that is, a reserve pilot.

Maya inherited some of Ritsuko's qualities and was a research freak who was very busy with her work. Of course, I don't have much time to spend with Mali, although Mali is greedy for fun and food, but also afraid of causing trouble for Maya, so she just stays alone in the corner and fiddles with toys or watches anime.

Shinji noticed that Mari was very measured and cute, unlike ordinary children who were willful and reckless, annoying people, and obviously very good at reading people's faces. The bags left over from the snacks will also be packed by themselves, so as not to cause trouble to others.

This is all a manifestation of long-term parasitic fences, and I can't help but feel a little distressed.

"Mali, don't be so inhibited, you can treat this place as your home, after all, I am your teacher. Shinji blinked, hinting at a little secret between the two.

"Home, the kind of food you can eat as you please?" Mali's eyes widened.

“…… Sort of. ”

"Great!"

"Why can't you eat without three sentences?"

"It can't be helped, eating can relieve stress. Mali's ears drooped, and her large, misshapen pupils seemed to be filled with sadness.

"Oh, what's bothering you?" Shinji wondered what kind of pressure this little broken child could have.

"That, the people down there, always look at me weirdly. ”

"No, maybe it's because you're cute. ”

"Really?"

Shinji knew the reason, so he could only nod and coax her.

"Also, this tail is in the way. ”

Mari grabbed the tip of his tail, "You sniff?"

Shinji leaned over, "Fragrant." ”

"It really doesn't smell weird?"

"Nope. ”

"I don't believe it, or you might try it. ”

"This ......," Shinji was a little embarrassed, "I don't control furry's." ”

"What?"

"It's nothing, it's not hygienic. Is there anything wrong with the tail?"

"This bad thing, it's very inconvenient to go to the bathroom, and it's dirty on the toilet just now. ”

“……”

"What kind of expression do you have, I've washed it!"

"Okay. Shinji was very happy.

"And you have to dig a hole to wear it. ”

"Oh, no wonder. Shinji raised an eyebrow.

"You can't lie on your back when you sleep at night, and your tail will go numb when you press it. ”

"Sure enough, it's a big problem. Shinji sneered, "Do you want to consider cutting it off?"

"Cut off?" Mali looked terrified.

"No, it's going to hurt!"
