Shinji looked around and suggested, "It's a little gloomy in the room, let's go out and breathe." ”

So the two of them went for a walk in the street on the ground.

Last night after a heavy rain, the smell of sulfur and ash in the air was washed away a lot.

The ash has been cleaned of the main 🌋 road in the city, but there is still some sludge left on the surrounding buildings. The good news is that the wildfires have largely been extinguished, and the remaining smoke and mist have mixed with the sunset, turning a hazy golden red from the setting sun, and the low-lying areas of the valley are covered with a layer of meat floss.

The two walked aimlessly, Shinji kept looking sideways at Ayana, reveling in the perfect profile, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but raise the ground, smiling like a fool. The two don't spend much time alone, and Shinji cherishes this opportunity.

Under Shinji's naked gaze, Ayana's face gradually turned red, and her fair skin could not hide the slightest expansion of capillaries. Soon, she couldn't resist it, and couldn't help but cry out: "What are you looking at?"

"Look at the fairies. ”

"Laughing at what?"

"I'm with fairies. ”

This kind of earthy love words, Shinji opened his mouth and still kept his face unchanged. Ayanami seemed unable to parry, and her head lowered.

"Ikati-kun, where are we going?"

"You should have time for the evening, right?"

"Hmm. ”

Shinji had already checked Ayana's mission schedule and asked her out when she was free tonight.

"Let's go eat first, do you have anything in particular you'd like to eat?"

Ayanami was silent for a while, tilted his head slightly, and said, "No, Ikai-kun decides." ”

"That's right. Shinji was silent for a few seconds, and then he got the answer in his head, and the skate found a store nearby in the clouds with a good review.

I wanted to eat sushi, but because the seafood was basically extinct, most of the ingredients could not be eaten, so I gave up.

Shinji's hoodie, pants, and even shoes are all skate-bladed variations. The simulated nanomaterial is divided into multiple layers, the inner layer is soft and close-fitting, and the outer layer is extremely strong and wear-resistant, with limited bulletproof effect. Ordinary pistol bullets can still block one block, but rifles can't defend against them. Smart materials can also regulate temperature, absorb sweat and moisture according to body temperature, and be accurate to the perception of every inch of skin. For example, the torso part needs to dissipate heat, while the limbs can be properly insulated.

Shinji also wears a hidden A10 neural sync connector on her head, which functions like the red hairpin that Asuka wears every day. This is the brain-computer interface between the skate blade and Shinji, and the two must pass through a connector to transmit information at the level of consciousness.

If there were AI technologists of the same level in this world, or if strong artificial intelligence existed, Shinji would not dare to use his brain to network so recklessly. This brain-to-brain consciousness communication system is actually very dangerous. No matter how far apart, people can communicate with each other through the thoughts in their minds, which means that the target's brain can be directly invaded through the network for perceptual disruption, memory tampering, brainwashing, and thought control.

Shinji led the way, and the two walked two streets to a small and inconspicuous shop.

"Welcome!"

As soon as the door was opened, the boss got up and greeted him warmly. Shinji saw the scar on the other party's face, and said with surprise, "Boss, why did you move here?"

It turned out to be an acquaintance, and Shinji used to frequented the boss's shop.

"There is no way, the original place has been blown up, and it is still in ruins. The boss said helplessly.

"It's good if people are fine, it's dangerous to open a store in this city. ”

The boss smiled: "Fortunately, the government has given enough compensation." Now that many stores have closed down and run away, I am the only one who survives, and the business is better, and I don't make as much money as I do in other places. ”

After a while, Shinji and Ayanami found a table in the corner and sat down.

Shinji opens the menu, "I'll have a wasabi roast beef with rice!"

Ayanami ordered an appetizing vegetable salad and dropped the menu.

"That's not enough to eat, is it?

So Ayanami added an egg and soy sauce bibimbap. No way, Ayanami is a picky eater and doesn't like to eat meat.

Soon, the boss brought a small charcoal stove, two plates of thinly sliced beef, and some vegetables. The meat slices are fat and lean, already marinated in a simple soy sauce.

Shinji took a slice of meat and put it on the grill, and it sizzled under the red charcoal fire, and a rich aroma came out. When the two sides change color slightly, smear a pinch of wasabi and put it in your mouth regardless of the temperature...... Well, the taste buds explode instantly!

Shinji almost had the urge to burst his clothes, and the ruthless iron mouth ate the barbecue like he was dealing with an enemy who killed his father, and soon served three bowls of white rice.

Because I came early, there was only a family of three in the store, celebrating the birthday of a little girl of three or four years old.

After singing the birthday song, the mother touched her daughter's head and asked, "Meiyi, are you happy?"

"Happy!" said Lori, who had a mouth full of cakes.

"Do you love Mom and Dad?"

"Love!"

"Do you prefer Dad or Mom?" asked Mom continued.

Little Lori pouted and looked at her father and then at her mother, and thought for a while, "I love it more...... Daddy!"

The father was laughing so hard that his eyes were gone.

The mother hugged her daughter in her arms, "Hehe, Mei Yi has a good eye." Mommy loves Daddy too!"

Dad also accosted him: "But you have to love your mother a little more in the future." ”

"Okay—" Little Lori responded with a milky voice.

The scene of a happy family of three, the overflowing happiness almost roasted Shinji.

Ayanami also watched this scene with fascination.

"A very happy family. Shinji spoke.

"Well, I hope they can be happy forever. Ayanami replied.

"Does Ayanami yearn for such a life? For example, to have a ...... Family. Shinji cautiously watched Ayana's reaction.

"I don't know, I haven't experienced it...... Home, what does it feel like to have a home?" Ayanami had never experienced the warmth of home, and even had no sense of self at first, like the walking dead. With Shinji's continuous efforts, the ice in her heart was finally dissolved, bringing her a different color, and under the continuous development, Ayanami finally had some normal human emotions, but there were still some obstacles.

Shinji looked into Ayana's eyes and said, "If you have a home, you will have more bonds, and no matter how hard and tired you are, you will have a reason to persevere." You should be happier this way. ”

"Happiness ......," Ayanami muttered, these were some difficult words. Ayana's life is monotonous and boring, and she doesn't even have any superfluous thoughts other than obeying orders. She wasn't interested in the disturbances of the outside world, so Shinji didn't tell her about SEELE's secrets, the truth of the world, and so on, which only added to Ayana's troubles and did nothing else.

"Happiness is that cats eat fish, dogs eat meat, and EVA fights monsters. If you are satisfied with the person you like, you will be happy. ”

Ayanami thoughtfully.

Seeing that the time was about the same, Shinji got up to settle the bill, and then said to Ayanami mysteriously, "Let's go, take you to a place." ”

So the two drove out of the main city, along the winding road, to a mountainside on the outskirts of the city. Another car was in the distance, and it was a bodyguard sent by headquarters. Shinji and Ayaba's identities are sensitive.,You can't get out of sight under any circumstances.,You always have to report when you go out.。

This is the observation deck with a small pavilion with stone benches for resting. Below the hillside was a man-tall bush of grass, rattled by the wind. This location overlooks the glorious lights of the entire city of New Tokyo, as well as the entire Lake Ashi, and has a very wide view.

Tonight was a good night, and as the ash was blown away by the wind in the other direction, it was possible to see the twinkling lights of the opposite hill. It was a strong military fortress, and the entire mountain inside had been hollowed out and equipped with a lot of heavy firepower.

"Ikati-kun, what are we going to do here?" Ayanami wondered.

"We'll find out in a minute. ”

Shinji is calm and calm on the surface, but in fact, he is a little anxious in his heart, thinking that the other party will not drop the chain.

The two of them sat on the chair and blew the mountain wind for a long time, Ayanami hugged her arms, a little trembling, her body was indeed a little weak, and she really couldn't stand it wearing a thin skirt at this time.

"Is it cold, Ayana?" Shinji was distressed and blamed himself when he saw this, and subconsciously wanted to take off his clothes and put them on her. However, I am also wearing single clothes, which is inconvenient to operate.

So Shinji had to pluck up the courage to pick up Ayanami horizontally, put it on his lap, and held it in his arms, "Wouldn't this be better?"

"Good...... Much better. ”

Ayanami didn't refuse, not even a symbolic resistance, and Shinji's inner villain screamed wildly.

Ayanami almost hid her head in Shinji's arms, and her face was not visible in the dark, but her expression was full of shyness that could not be concealed. So far, the two have only had an ambiguous relationship, and they were limited to holding hands and hugging before. Because Shinji died once, he understood the truth of acting in time while he was dying. If he doesn't take the initiative, with Ayaba's temperament, he will probably be a platonic lover for the rest of his life.

Ayaba's body is very light, and it is the kind of perfect body that looks very thin but has flesh to the touch. Shinji felt like he was holding a freshly made quilt, so soft that he didn't want to let go at all. Under the grinding of the ears and temples, the snort is full of the taste of ayana, which is sweet and very light. This breath rich in girly hormones literally blurred Shinji's consciousness, and his heart began to beat faster under the effect of adrenal hormones.

Suddenly, Ayanami tries to get up and break away from Shinji's arms, but Shinji stops her.

"What's wrong?"

Ayanami looked at the foot of the mountain and said in an inaudible voice, "Below...... Someone. ”

"It's okay, it's so dark they can't see anything. Shinji comforted.

And the two people at the foot of the mountain, the big man leaning on the front of the car observed Shinji and them a few times with high-precision night vision devices, and they were a little impatient, muttering: "It's a big night, these two ancestors actually went here for a date." ”

Another older man in sunglasses sighed: "It's not strange for young people in the rebellious period to do anything out of the ordinary. It's such a wonderful age, I miss my first love a little bit. ”

"You say, are they allowed to fall in love? ”

"It's not something we should do. Just report truthfully and do your job well. ”

On Shinji's side, not only did he ignore the two light bulbs at the foot of the mountain, but instead gave an order to the skate.

So his coat cracked open and turned into a blanket, wrapping the two of them tightly and turning on the heating function. At this moment, both of them were warm.

Ayanami came back to her senses, only to find that her hands were on Shinji's chest, and her bulging chest muscles were hard and full of male masculinity.

As if she had been burned by a red-hot soldering iron, Ayanami quickly retracted her hand and raised her head to look at Shinji quietly, full of silent pressure. It was the first time she had been so close to a man.

Shinji looked at the starry night sky and said casually, "It's okay, it's a deformable material." That's the best way to get the heat, isn't it?"

It seems that this is the case, and Ayanami didn't find anything wrong with it.

"It's time, Ayana, look over there!" Shinji suddenly pointed to the night sky.

Ayaba looked up and saw a streamer of light suddenly streak across the night sky.

"Is it a shooting star?"

"And whatever!"

Then, like the falling stars, countless streamers dragged a bright trail across the starry night sky. Like fireworks, there are also different flame color reactions. There are red, green, white and yellow, spectacular and magnificent, very shocking to the soul.

Shinji injected Ayana's bright eyes, which reflected the meteors in the night sky, and gradually became obsessed.

"It's so pretty......" Ayanami opened her mouth slightly, her eyes wide open, like a curious child.

"It's a rare meteor shower, so make a wish. ”

Ayaami leaned on his shoulder, closed his eyes obediently, and opened them again after a while, "Alright." ”

"Can you tell me what you wish?"

Ayanami shook her head, her brow tingling with a rare look of joy.

"Okay. Shinji was a little disappointed.

"Why didn't Ikati-kun make a wish?"

"This is a meteor shower exclusive to Ayana, and I can't use it anymore if you've used it. ”

"Really?"

"Hmm. ”

Ayanami actually believed it? It's too easy to deceive, isn't it? Shinji felt a little guilty, he was like an uncle who coaxed an ignorant girl.

The so-called meteor shower is actually an artificial meteor shower service ordered by Shinji. Previously, he eliminated dozens of black industry gangs that stole digital currency, and wiped out the other party's virtual assets, leaving many hackers with no money. Under the economic crisis, virtual assets have become more valuable.

Then use these digital currencies to place an order with a space startup, order artificial meteor shower services, and donate the rest of the money to disaster relief agencies.

The moons that release the meteor shower are both 60 centimeters long and wide, about 80 centimeters high, and weigh about 80 kilograms. When a satellite enters a designated orbit, it can release special metal particles in space that are about 1 centimeter in diameter and weigh several grams. These metal particles are hollow droplet-shaped, layered on top of each other like matryoshka dolls, and when they explode and enter the atmosphere, they rub the air and burn to form a meteor shower effect.

Depending on the orbit of the satellite, such artificial meteors can be "staged" on time in any part of the world, and can be observed in a designated area with a diameter of 200 kilometers on the ground. Of course, the space company's services are on file with the United Nations Space Agency, so they didn't raise concerns from the NERV JPN.

"Hopefully this moment will last forever. Ayanami was silent for a moment before whispering something in Shinji's ear.

"Huh?"

"This is my wish. "Ayaami Road.

Shinji's heart was hit hard, and his eyes were hot, and he had the urge to cry.

"Ikati-kun, isn't it boring to be with me?"

"Why do you say that?"

"I'm different from other girls, and people at school don't want to approach me. ”

"No, I'll never get tired of being with Ayana. Tonight is the dream of my life. ”

Shinji said as he moved closer and closer, gradually covering Ayana's lips......
