Chapter 32: Misato Memories (Part II)

Relaxed time always passed quickly, there was still a lot of food left on the table, and the clock had already reached twelve o'clock. Looking up at the clock on the wall, Shinji had a smile on his face, but the smile was full of helplessness and sadness.

At this time, Misato, who was sitting opposite Shinji, already had a little rosy on her face, and she saw the young man have such an expression. That trace of drunkenness quietly disappeared. "Shinji-kun, you've been watching the time since the beginning, is there anything you care about?" Misato asked.

Shinji looked up at the slightly drunken face on the other side. With a sad smile, the body sitting on the tatami mat lies back. "Miss Misato, don't you wonder why I make so many delicious foods? Because, today is June 6th. It's my birthday. Looking at the ceiling, Shinji spoke out of his mind.

When Misato heard this, while being surprised, the last trace of drunkenness disappeared in an instant. Bowing her head, Misato's eyes flashed with a strange light. Like self-blame, or sadness. "Shinji-kun, I'm sorry." After a brief silence, Misato spoke. "As your guardian, I don't care much about you. I'm really sorry. ”

"No, nothing. I don't mean to blame you, Miss Misato, by saying this. Please leave it unattended. Besides, I never asked Misato-sama about you, did I? So nothing. Shinji sat up and said to Misato, then looked up at the ceiling, after a brief sigh. Shinji closed his eyes and fell into a memory. "I've been alone since my mom left, and I didn't have a decent birthday when I lived with my teacher. Every time it's my birthday, I hope my dad will call me, even if it's just to say happy birthday. But. Ten years have passed. There was no response to the phone around me. Over time, I've gotten used to celebrating my birthday alone, hehe, but today is different, and I feel very happy and happy to have Miss Misato with me today. I want to thank you, Miss Misato, if you hadn't let me move in with you, I might still be alone for my birthday. Shinji smiled and looked up at Misato on the other side.

Once the smile of a teenager was so sunny, but today, Misato sees a trace of sadness in the sunny face. It's a very uncomfortable feeling. For a while, the room became very quiet. It's not so much silence as silence. Misato closed her eyes and thought about what happened to Shinji after she moved in. When the apostles attacked, the boy fought excellently, so that he could live with peace of mind. In his usual life, the teenager keeps his house in good order. It seems that since Shinji came, his own qiē has been on the right track. I used to be sloppy and silent when I lived alone. Loneliness and sadness are covered by the young man's sunny smile. Yes, it was only at this point that Misato really realized that that feeling was called home. We are family.

Determined, as if he had made up his mind, he stood up and leaned towards the boy. Didn't wait for the boy to react. He reached out and pressed the boy's broad chest, and the other hand wrapped around the back of his head, and Misato's shiny lips were imprinted on the boy's forehead.

"Happy birthday, Shinji-kun, this is my birthday present, do you like it?" Misato smiled, a hint of rosy on her face. Shinji was a little stunned by this sudden gift. But it didn't take long to react. The smile on his face also regained the sunshine it had before.

"Hmm. Thank you, Miss Misato. I love it. Shinji replied with a smile, touching the forehead that had been kissed. It turned into that bad look. "But...... Looks like you didn't wipe your mouth, Misato-san, a lot of oily ......."

Misato reacted as well. I've been eating just now, and my mouth is still full of oil. The rosy cheeks were hot again. "Hmph, you stinky little ghost. Where are so many words. As he spoke, he rode on Shinji's body. Pinched his cheek hard. Tickle him. "Wow. I was wrong, Miss Misato, I was wrong. "The two of them were fighting together.

"So. To celebrate Shinji-kun's birthday. Cheers! After a bit of fighting, Misato stood up and sat down at the table. Holding a can of beer, his smiling face looked very excited.

"Cheers!" Shinji raised his glass as well. Laughed.

"Quack. "Quack" fluttered his little paws, signaling his attitude.

The lively aura once again filled the room. The embarrassment and sadness just now gradually drifted away with the noise of the two. Neither of them slept that night, and remained so cheerful until the early morning when they gradually fell asleep due to tiredness and drunkenness. The whole birthday though only two people. Oh, and Pian. But that happy atmosphere, happy words. Charming smiley face. It's all so real and beautiful. That's the happiness that belongs to the family.

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

Misato, who woke up from her memories, looked at the teenager who was still gobbling up in front of her. There was a hint of tenderness in his eyes. The heart was touched. next to your own computer. Misato's jade hand slid slightly. Point the mouse arrow at an essay called the Third Qualifier Life Report. Quietly pressed the delete button.

"So, Shinji-kun. Have you figured out how to talk to the commander about custody? Misato pushed the computer away from the chair that was placed next to her. Picking up the beer again, he said to Shinji.

"Hmm." Shinji swallowed the food in his mouth. "I'm going to let Rei move in with us, so why don't you come to Miss Misato and ask what you mean. It just so happens that our room is big enough for three people to live together. ”

"Staying with us?" Misato wondered, "Isn't our room a two-bedroom?" Could it be that you ...... "Misato's expression became gossipy, and she looked at Shinji playfully. Shinji was covered in hair by Misato's sharp eyes, and he was very uncomfortable.

"What are you thinking, Miss Misato." Shinji narrowed his half-moon eyes, "Isn't there a storage room?" Now it's full of useless stuff. I'll clean up and live. Let Leigh sleep in my room, I'll go to the storage room. ”

"I don't have a problem, but you need to live in the locker. Wouldn't it be too small, are you okay? Misato worries that the separate storage room is not large, and usually Misato puts some clothes that he hasn't worn for a long time, shoes, and some empty wine bottles in it. Now suddenly there are people to live. Not to mention the chaos in the storage room, the space inside alone is a problem, and the small storage room is estimated to be basically unable to put other things after putting down a bed.

"Well, I'm fine, it's enough to have a bed to sleep in, I don't care about anything else. I really don't want Rei to live in a house that could collapse at any moment. As he spoke, Shinji opened his phone and found that happy smile. The corners of his mouth also rose.

"I think you let her move in to catch up with Ali, right? The building near the water gets the moon first, Xiaozhen, don't you say? Misato reached out her elbow and gently touched Shinji's strong chest. The gossip expression crawled all over Misato's pretty cheeks.

"Where...... How can I be, haha...... Hahaha. Shinji, who was exposed, smiled awkwardly. Since Miss Misato is fine, then I'll go to my dad. Dr. Ritsuko, do you know where my dad is? ”

"Well, the commander just had breakfast with the deputy commander, and now he should go back to the office. You can look for it in the command room. Ritsuko took a sip of coffee from her cup, her beautiful eyes slightly closed and said softly to Shinji.

"Well, I'll take a look, thank you, Dr. Ritsuko." Shinji grabbed the can of the drink in his hand and put it in his mouth, then stood up and said. "Then, Dr. Ritsuko, Miss Misato. I'll go first. If nothing else, I'll take Rei back tonight, Miss Misato, please go to the supermarket after work today to buy some ingredients, and I'll make delicious food for you in the evening, Dr. Ritsuko will come along, don't worry, I'll be in charge this time. Shinji smirked, completely ignoring Misato's cannibalistic expression.

Ritsuko also smiled lightly, "Thank you Shinji-kun, but I still have work to do tonight, the battle count of the day before yesterday has been refreshed, I need to do some tidying up, so I can't pass." "As soon as it comes to work, Ritsuko's uncontrollable occupational disease will start to happen again." The synchronization rate of the first machine broke through to 135% in a short period of time, and the driver was able to control it perfectly, and there was no phenomenon of any rampage during the period. Shinji-kun, how did you do that? ”

"Well, I don't know, I just remember that I was a little excited, and then it was like that, hehe. Since Dr. Ritsuko is going to work, then I can only have a chance to eat together next time. Then, Miss Misato, Dr. Ritsuko, you can continue to eat, and I'll go first. With that, Shinji left the two of them and walked in the direction of the elevator.

"That kid is really reliable." Misato put her hands on her cheeks and looked at Shinji's back as she left, with a gentle look in her eyes.

"What? Hooked? "Ritsuko, who has a very low humor coefficient, rarely makes a joke about Misato." Shinji Ikari, the son of Commander Ikari, is not at all like his father, and the two with the same blood in their bodies have very different personalities. In that kind of living environment, he can still maintain such a state and character. Amazing people. Ritsuko's eyes flashed with a hint of strangeness. whispered to himself, "I really envy her." ”

"Envy? Shinji? Misato was a little curious.

"No, nothing." Ritsuko evades Misato's curiosity. "Okay, I'm going to work soon, I'll go back first." Ritsuko picked up the bag next to her and left the restaurant, leaving Misato alone with her curiosity and puzzled head to continue her unfinished breakfast.

Ritsuko, who left the restaurant and returned to the office, called up the number jù of yesterday's first machine, and originally wanted to thoroughly study how yesterday's ultra-high synchronization rate was formed, but she remembered Shinji's words today, and the number jù data in her hand was gradually clicked into Ayanami Rei's data with the thoughts in her mind, looking at the photos on the data, Ritsuko's eyebrows tightened, and finally silently closed the computer. The jade fist clenched tightly and slammed it on the keyboard.
