Chapter Seventy-Two

"You don't have to worry, we won't be together"

Just when Rei Ayanami was stunned, Ritsuko woke up at some point, and the only remaining unbandaged eye looked at her with a playful smile

"You're awake," Rei Ayanami relieved

Ritsuko gently raised her hand holding the hanging bottle, and wanted to touch the hair of the girl sitting in front of her bed, but under her flat gaze, she finally didn't do so, and turned her head away, no longer looking at her

"Li, you won, besides, it's impossible for me and Ikari Hong, don't worry..."

"Finally, I wish you both eternal happiness"

……………………

Shinji Ikari had come out of the cockpit since the last battle with the Apostles had come to an end, and he saw Asuka unconscious, and for a moment, Shinji in the driver's suit had a lifeless face in everyone's eyes. The emptiness of his eyes, the confusion of his expression, if it weren't for the figure stumbling towards the emergency room, maybe everyone would have thought that Shinji was already a dead man now

Passing by the command platform where Ikari Gendo was, Shinji raised his head, his pupils that had lost his luster began to focus, his body couldn't help but tremble, and his black eyes were full of hatred

Ikari Yuantang coldly glanced at his youngest son who was glaring at him in the audience, as if he didn't even bother to speak, and left the combat command room on the elevator

Misato looked at Shinji as if she had changed into a different person, and her heart was full of mixed emotions and she was silent

………………

Three days later

Ritsuko, who was seriously injured in this incident, recovered inexplicably quickly, perhaps in addition to the two women who were treated alone and treated alone, perhaps someone with a heart also guessed a rough idea after witnessing the ability that Ikari Hong possessed

Afterwards, Ikari Hong's whole person was like evaporating from the world, and no one could find a trace of him

Misato Katsuragi, the head of the War Department, is also very depressed these days, when the incident at the No. 3 test site occurred, he should have been there, but because of a series of reasons, he escaped a catastrophe, watching the seriously injured Ritsuko, Ikari Hong, who has always been like his own brother, missing, and Shinji-kun, who he also cares about very much, looks at the vegetative Asuka in the hospital every day in a daze, and does not talk to everyone. The oppressive atmosphere made her almost breathless

In the face of Ikari Hong's disappearance, Ayanami Rei didn't seem surprised at all, and went about her normal rhythm of life every day

The battlefield has not been cleaned after three days, and although the first machine has been successfully recovered, the third machine eroded by the Shotman is like a cold giant corpse lying in a messy city

Ritsuko, who still has bandages on her hands for the time being, and her best friend Misato stand in the open space next to the huge body of the third machine

"You're so lucky," Ritsuko said with a feeling as she looked at Misato, who was not injured at all

"Did Xiaohong help save you?" Misato was in a very low mood, but seeing that Ritsuko, who had been seriously injured a few days ago, was no longer in serious trouble at this time, she couldn't help but ask

Ritsuko turned her head, looked at the very complete No. 3 machine, and said softly, "It's not him"

"Then how can you get better so quickly?"

"Yes Li"

“！！ She too? Misato's eyes widened in disbelief

Ritsuko nodded and said calmly, "To be exact, Rei herself is not entirely human."

Misato was gloomy

"How many secrets are you hiding from me..."

Ritsuko shrugged and changed the subject, "What about Shinji-kun?" ”

Misato, who was watching the NERV staff clean up the battlefield, frowned when she heard this, and then said to herself, "These two brothers are all bastards!" ”

……………………

Third, the city of New Tokyo

"It's suddenly brighter."

Ikari appeared quietly on the deserted streets, and for the previous few days, he had locked himself in the central dogma area at the bottom of the NERV headquarters as if he were in retreat, which is why the two commanders of the NERV and Rei had no worries about Ikari Hong's disappearance

Ikari Hong took out the gray-yellow parchment book from his arms, looked at the four big characters that had changed on it, smiled, and walked slowly on the street where there were few people, the smile on his face became extremely relaxed, and the previous solemnity was swept away

"I really didn't expect it to be this book, it's ridiculous that I used to think it was some kind of cultivation cheats brought in my previous life" Ikari Hong shook his head self-deprecatingly and chuckled, and put the book back in his arms

"But... Why did this book come to me?"

Due to the invasion of the apostles, the once prosperous and lively city became deserted at this time, looked up at the time, and found that it was morning, and touched his stomach that had not eaten for three days, and decided to find something to eat

"What are you going to eat?" muttered Ikari softly, searching the city for a place to eat without a goal

As he walked through an abandoned area of construction on the road, a meow sounded in his ears

When I turned my head, I found that it was a snow-white kitten, this poor little guy curled up in the corner, it seemed that he had just been born not long ago, and his body was only the size of two palms of Ikari Hong

Ikari Hong bent down, picked up the kitten, and said gently, "Can't you find a home?" ”

The little white cat stuck out her tongue and licked Ikaru's fingers, looking at him pitifully

"Looks like I'm hungry," Ikari remembered that Rei and Ritsuko both liked cats

Well... Let's take it to find something to eat first, or what will I do if I starve to death... Ikari Hong thought about it, brushed the hair on the kitten's neck with his hand, and said in a harmonious voice: "If you are lucky, you will be called ...... in the future."

Ikari Hong said that it was suddenly jammed here, and the little white cat was also very clever with two cute little eyes staring at Ikari Hong expectantly

"What's it called... Name or something, I hate it the most" Ikari Hong looked at the little white cat in front of him reluctantly

At this moment, the kitten was lying comfortably on the palm of Ikari Hong's hand, and Ikari Hong squinted and looked at a small thing like a white handkerchief

"Well, let's call it a little towel."

……………

Ikari finally found a small restaurant that was still in business, put a small towel on the table, looked at its small body, estimated that it couldn't eat any fish or other food for the time being, and asked for a bottle of milk to pour in a bowl and put it in front of it

The little towel was a little suspicious when he saw the milk in the bowl, and sniffed it cautiously, but he didn't know that he hadn't eaten for a few days and still couldn't resist the aroma of the milk, so he licked it lightly and began to drink it

"Boss, let's have a salmon sushi," a sweet voice accompanied by a shadow into the restaurant

Ikari Hong was a little familiar with this voice, and turned his head curiously

I saw a young girl with brown hair in a double ponytail and glasses sitting at another table in the restaurant, sitting there in a crisp casual dress, humming a cheerful ballad

The person who came was none other than Mahippo Marie Elantrias, who had been with Ikari Hong that day

After a while, Mary seemed to feel that someone was staring at her, turned her head to look, and when she saw Ikari Hong, she was slightly startled, and then got up with a smile and sat opposite Ikari Hong

"See you again, I didn't expect you to like small animals very much," Mary touched the small towel that was lying on the table drinking milk

"Done?" Ikari Hong was much calmer about this chance encounter

"Hmm," Mary leaned back in her chair and said casually, "I wanted to eat something and went to Nerv to report, but I didn't expect to meet you."

"Finished communicating with the people here?" Ikari poured two cups of hot tea and placed one of them in front of Mary

Mary looked at Ikari Hong with a smile, took a sip of the teacup, didn't say much, and then got up and came to Ikari Hong

"I didn't expect the babies to grow so big..."Mary squinted her blue-green eyes very cutely, and rubbed Ikari Hong's cheeks

The little towel that was drinking milk stopped, and a pair of cute little eyes stared straight at Ikari Hong with a black line

Boom!

"Oops~"

Ikari Hong dissatisfiedly pulled away the white palms that 'ravaged' his cheeks, stretched out his hand and flicked it lightly on the forehead of the girl opposite

Makibo gave Ikari Hong a big roll of his eyes, sat back and rubbed his forehead while being played, and kept muttering "It's so cute, it's so uncute......

Ikari Hong also rubbed his face, and said angrily: "Why don't you tell me how you met my mother?" ”

"Hmm~ I'll tell you when I'm in a better mood" Referring to Ikari Yui, Mary habitually lifted the red glasses on her face

Seeing this, Ikari Hong was not in a hurry, in fact, he had already guessed a rough idea, but no one told him exactly

Mahippo Marie winked playfully at Ikari Hong

"Meow Meow~"

…………………

Mary, who wanted to go to NERV to report, had to follow Ikari Hung like a little tail, and in her words, Ikari was going to Nerv sooner or later anyway

Ikari Hiroshi didn't want to shake it off, and after coming out of the restaurant, he came to the No. 3 New Tokyo City No. 1 Middle School with a snow-white towel to pick up Rei Ayanami and go to Nerv together after school

After the two came to this school slowly, it was the time to get out of school, and Ikari Hong, who was originally relaxed and leisurely, suddenly frowned

I saw that after school, a young man with black hair and black eyes, a dignified appearance, and a good demeanor followed closely behind Rei Ayanami and kept saying something

And Ayanami Rei walked expressionlessly with her schoolbag on her face

Seeing this, Ikari shook his head and chuckled, and walked in the direction of Rei Ayana

Ma Tumo is very happy and depressed today, the reason for his depression is that he was suddenly transferred from the NERV branch in China to the Japanese headquarters, and he was inexplicably arranged to go to school in this middle school, oh my God, I graduated from college a long time ago, okay

But what made him very happy was that there was a fairy-looking woman in the class, although she was still young, but he liked her at a glance, but this girl looked very cold

Just when Ma Tumo was trying to talk to no avail, a smile suddenly appeared on the face of the goddess in his eyes

Ma Tumo thought that the goddess was finally willing to take care of herself, but... Immediately, a smile froze across his face

It turned out that Ayanami Rei saw the figure of Ikari Hong not far away, trotted a few steps to Ikari Hong with his schoolbag and grabbed his arm affectionately, and when she saw the snow-white towel in his arms, her ruby beautiful eyes flashed with a hint of love

"Is the knot untied?"

Ikari Hong smiled gently, and the whole person's temperament seemed to have come out of the previous melancholy, and changed back to the cheerful and optimistic teenager

At this moment, a somewhat discordant voice sounded

"Hello, excuse me... Well, are you Ayana-san's older brother? Ma Tumo walked up, although he was a little suspicious that the face of the young man holding a little white cat in front of him was somewhat similar to his goddess, but looking at the intimacy of the two did not seem to be as simple as brother and sister

"No, it's not, Rei is my fiancée, this is called husband and wife."

Ikari Hong has long been accustomed to the fact that the two of them look a little alike, and smiled kindly at this handsome young man with black hair and black eyes, and at the same time took Li's hand with the ring, and explained with a smile

Ma Tumo's whole person was like being struck by lightning, and he stood on the spot

I saw him muttering vigorously in Chinese Chinese: "It must be a brother and sister who look so similar, right... They look so much like brother and sister, guess right..."

Ayanami Liqiao, who has long been very proficient in Chinese, had a cold face, and looked coldly at Ma Tumo, who kept muttering

Ikari Hong kept smiling, and his tone was still so gentle, but...

Very authentic Chinese popped out of Ikari Hong's mouth

"First of all, there is no blood relationship between me and Rei"

"Secondly... Are you insane? ”
