Chapter 31: Misato's Memories (I)

Early the next morning.

Li's body has almost recovered, so it's time to calculate the time and go to her father to tell her and his promise. This is a very important thing. Looking at the girl who fell asleep again in front of her. Shinji thought for a moment, remembering the photo with the girl in the early hours of the morning, and there was a hint of tenderness in his eyes. Leaving a note, Shinji left the sleeping man and drove to the NERV headquarters.

Shinji's speed has soared to 180. The red Renault drew a strange red light on the highway. But the person sitting in the car was holding the steering wheel with one hand, and the elbow of the other hand was leaning against the window to support his cheeks, looking calm. Although his hands were burned by Yan Zhan Ng yesterday, Shinji had already removed the bandages at this moment, leaving only a thin layer of medicine belt, and it was early morning after all, and there were not too many cars on the highway. Changing his hand to hold the steering wheel, Shinji picked up the phone next to him and dialed it.

Honk...... Honk...... Hello, I'm Misato Katsuragi, and now I'm not at home for something, please leave a message after the beep. Beep......

"Not at home? Isn't Miss Misato resting today? Is it overtime? Forget it, go to the headquarters and say hello. Shinji thought for a moment. Once Misato said to Shinji that if it wasn't something special, don't call her phone, after all, Misato's identity is the head of the Operations Division. It will be a little inconvenient to call the mobile phone. Shinji put down the phone, and as soon as he stepped on the accelerator under his feet, Renault, who was already driving at super high speed, accelerated again, flying like a scorching flame on the highway.

When I came to the headquarters, I took the elevator to the restaurant on the second floor, and sure enough, Misato and Ritsuko were having breakfast there.

"Miss Misato, Dr. Ritsuko. Good morning. Shinji stepped forward and greeted the two beauties.

"Good morning, Shinji-kun. Ahra, why did you arrive so early today? Is your injury okay? Ritsuko picked up the coffee on the table, took a sip and said softly.

"What else. This lazy imp never wakes up so early. I must have come here today for Ali's business. Right? Shin~" Misato shook the beer can in her hand. The other hand reached over and flicked Shinji's forehead. Laughing at Shinji.

"You guessed it. Miss Misato. Ha...... Haha, also, my injuries are okay thank you Dr. Ritsuko. Shinji smiled helplessly. There are black lines hanging all over the head. "I'm here today to ask my father for custody of Laili. I don't know if you've ever been to Leigh's place. Seriously. I can't rest assured that Rei can live in a house like that, which could collapse at any time. I really don't know how my dad became this guardian. As he spoke, he pretended to be angry and snatched the beer from Misato's hand and took two sips.

"Stinky little ghost, dare to rob me of my wine?!" Misato feigned anger and slapped Shinji on the head. She didn't mind Shinji's movements. The two of them got into a mess.

After a struggle, Shinji was defeated and signed an unequal peace treaty with Misato for the price of a case of beer. However, Misato did not take advantage of it. Today, Shinji's breakfast is paid for by Misato. Watching Shinji sit at the table and gobble up. Misato smiled softly. Slowly, she fell into the memory......

I remember it was a weekend morning before the Thunder Angels attacked. Misato, who had just been woken up by the alarm clock, tried to get a can of beer from the refrigerator to relieve her fatigue, but the refrigerator was empty. Yesterday I forgot to buy a new beer because I was too busy. It made her feel uncomfortable all morning.

"I mean, Miss Misato, let's change your taste once in a while." Shinji handed over a glass of milk and said helplessly. "Drinking in the morning is not good for your health." Facing this beautiful woman who has no alcohol and no joy. Shinji has an urge to cry, and the family income is in deficit every month. It's all because she used it to buy wine. It wasn't until the arrival of Shinji, a wealthy man, that the crisis in Misato's life was resolved. At the same time, Shinji is also full of doubts. Misato, who is almost inseparable from her mouth, how can she be in such a good figure. I used to see it myself. Miri's bust is definitely enough for an E cup.

"How do you change it? People are used to it~ Xiao Zhen. Help me buy some beer and come back, please~" Misato's sweet and greasy voice came. It gave Shinji goosebumps and fell to the ground. I had no choice but to go downstairs to the supermarket and move a case of beer back.

Bite. Hiss......

The beer can was opened, and Misato gulped it into her stomach. "Ah~~~cool! ~~~" Sure enough, drinking this in the morning is the best pick-me-up. Looking at Misato's extremely satisfied expression. Shinji's head was covered with black lines again, and there were a few more drops of sweat. Worried, "Miss Misato, you're going to have to drive to work in a while, is it okay to drink?" ”

"It's okay, it's okay. You won't have a problem drinking just one can~".

"Does this stuff taste that good?" Shinji in his previous life also attended a lot of banquets for assassination. I've never drunk champagne or red wine, but I've never touched a beer like this that doesn't have a high degree and is sparkling. Grabbed a can of beer and sipped it slightly, I didn't feel anything, it was a little bitter. Then I learned to put Misato in a big gulp. Before Misato could react. A can of beer has already been eaten by Shinji.

Belch......

Shinji let out a long hiccup. Beat all the water out of the beer. Lip smacking. Except for a bit of wheat aroma, there is no feeling of any of the high-end liquor that I have ever drunk. "Is this also called wine?" Shinji looked at Misato questioningly. Because the degree of beer is not high in the first place. Shinji feels no different from drinking a soda.

"Hey. Gremlin. Don't you know that there is a clear rule in Japan that children are not allowed to drink alcohol? "Misato has a big head. The slightest carelessness allowed this little imp to take advantage of the loophole.

"Children can't drink? Is this kind of soda also called alcohol? Miss Misato. If you talk about small children. You're more like a kid than I am, aren't you? Shinji smiled wickedly.

"Stinky little ghost, beg for a beating!" Misato has tic-tac-toe characters hanging all over her head.

"Wow. I was wrong Miss Miri. Pain and pain...... I don't dare, I don't dare. Shinji begged for mercy while enjoying the good atmosphere of fighting with Misato.

"Hmph, stinking imp. You dare to rob me of my wine. Are you really okay, though? Although the first time I drank alcohol was when I was your age, I was dizzy after just one beer. Are you really okay? Seeing that Shinji had yielded, Misato let him go and asked him about his condition.

"Hmm. No problem, it's no different from drinking soda. Shinji shrugged his shoulders and said he was completely fine.

"That's right. Hee-hee, so be it, I'll rest tomorrow, today you buy more wine and come back, we'll have a good drink in the evening, no one has been drinking with me for a long time. Misato began to anticipate plans for the evening.

"Is that good? Isn't there a rule in Japan that children are not allowed to drink alcohol? Shinji began to laugh at Misato again.

"Haven't you already drunk it? Let's just talk about the two of us. What does it matter? You're not scared, are you? Not to be outdone, Misato said.

"Cut. Isn't it just drinking soda? Come on, come on. After that, Shinji looked back at the calendar to make sure that he didn't have any plans in the near future, but just as he looked at the date, Shinji suddenly noticed something, and a helpless smile flashed on the corner of his mouth. But Miri didn't see it.

After breakfast, Misato drove to NERV, leaving Shinji alone at home, and shortly after Misato left, Shinji, who had already made a plan, also left for the market to buy ingredients. Start preparing for the evening of revelry.

―――――――――――――――――a.tfield――――――――――――――――――

Time flies, busy people are already returning home one after another in the sunset, and Miri is no different. I thought that I hadn't had a good drink with me for a long time, so Misato's speed was exceptionally fast today.

"I'm back."

That same evening. When Misato returns home from work, she sees a table full of food and drink. Peanuts and melon seeds have been placed on the outermost side. Further inside are cucumbers, cabbage and other cold dishes. The innermost circle is filled with a variety of hearty meats and hot dishes, and there is a braised fish in the middle. Under the table, two cans of beer lay quietly. There is also a lot of sake and red wine. with foreign wine.

"Oh my God, Shinji, you did all this?" Misato was surprised, although Shinji was cooking every day, but Shinji's habits Misato knew very well, although there were many patterns, they were all cooking four dishes and one soup. Because Shinji doesn't like to waste food, four dishes and one soup are just enough for two people, and occasionally there will be some leftover that can also be used as breakfast tomorrow. But Misato had never seen a scene like today.

"Welcome back Miss Miri. Miss Misato, didn't you say you wanted to have a good drink? So I made a lot of delicious food, and tonight we're going to get drunk! With that, Shinji opened the first can of beer for Misato.

Although Misato is curious, she can't care so much about food and wine, so she changes into casual clothes and sits down at the table, ready to eat with Shinji and Pianpin.

"I'm moving!" After saying that, Misato excitedly picked up the chopsticks and headed for the braised fish clip in the middle.

"Hmm~ It's delicious~ Shinji-kun, your craftsmanship is really not blown. That's great. For you, it was a clear choice for me to let you live with me. Misato said with a smile as she picked up the chicken steak on her plate and put it in her mouth.

"Of course. If you don't have some good craftsmanship, how dare you take care of Miss Misato? Hahaha. Shinji smiled unscrupulously.

"Hmph, stinky little ghost, I can take care of me, but I'll sue Sù Li. Hee-hee. Misato didn't mind Shinji's joke that he was his guardian. But the current situation is indeed that Shinji has been taking care of himself, the meal is made by Shinji, and the house is also cleaned up by Shinji. A qiē looks so well organized.

"Ah...... That, Miss Misato, there's still some snacks in the fridge, I'll go get them. Shinji saw that Misato had once again moved out the girl who had made him swoon, so he quickly changed the subject and ran away in disgrace. It made Misato laugh out loud.

Two people, a penguin, in a small room, enjoy luxurious food and talk about some funny things that have happened recently. Cans of beer poured down one after another, but neither of them was drunk. In this unpeaceful era, two people with heavy burdens are laughing happily and making trouble. It adds a strong comfort to this tense life day and night.
