Chapter 87: Cultural Sacrifice I
"Ahh
On a summer afternoon, Shinji lies on Reina's snowy legs and munches on apples. Since being wounded in battle a few days ago, Shinji seems to have changed from a housewife who does housework every day to a big man who eats and drinks in an instant, isn't it, in order to take care of the injured Shinji, the two girls have skipped class and accompanied their lovers at home together. Even though Shinji still has thick bandages on his arms, judging by his lazy smile now, he enjoys his life now.
"Now, Shinji, preparations for the campus cultural festival will begin next week, can your injuries be healed?" By Shinji's side, Asuka was gently beating his injured arms, because Dr. Ritsuko had specifically told Shinji on the day he was discharged from the hospital that such a massage was essential to quickly restore the reactive nervous system of his arms.
"Well, it's the eighth day, and another week will be fine anyway." Shinji swallowed the apple in his mouth and said lightly. "But when it comes to cultural festivals, what the hell is this for?" Shinji asked as he looked up slightly at Reika's face.
"Campus Cultural Festival. Also known as the Campus Festival, it is a public event that is held every year. Leigh said softly. At the same time, he took a piece of apple from the plate and brought it to Shinji's mouth again. "Generally speaking, during the school festival, the various clubs of the school will carry out different campus activities based on the class. There are mainly stage performances, gourmet restaurants, haunted houses and other activities. In the evening, there will be a masquerade party for the whole school, so you can choose different characters or dress up directly. The on-site layout and content arrangement are completely student-led. โ
"Hey? Li, I didn't expect you to know so much about cultural festivals. Shinji was a little surprised by Rei's nuanced explanations. He never thought that Rei would be so interested in the cultural festival, and even the summer festival some time ago did not see Rei pay such attention.
"Because I've been reading the script of a stage play recently, I'm ......" Leigh's cheeks were slightly red. Said with a hint of shyness.
"Huh? Leigh, do you want to perform in a stage play? Asuka looked at Rei with a hint of playfulness. And Shinji also looked at the girl behind him with the same interested look. The expressions of the two men made Rei's already flushed cheeks hot again.
"Actually......" After a brief moment of shyness, Leigh spoke again. Shinji, you've seen that stage play too. โ
"Huh? I've seen it too? You mean...... Did you give me that script the days ago? Shinji suddenly.
"Hmm. That's it. โ
"Oooh...... That's right. Ha. Ha ha. Shinji smiled wryly, remembering the last time Rei gave Shinji the script. Shinji flipped it twice lightly, and didn't look at it too closely. After all, most of the time Shinji is either at home trying to make more delicious food to satisfy the family's appetite, or training at NERV for a long time to ensure that he is always in a state of preparation. So, Shinji is a little overwhelmed by Rei's words now.
"So, Lei, do you really want to participate in this cultural festival?" Asuka's eyes flashed with little stars, but she was also looking forward to this cultural festival. After all, this was her first time participating in a cultural festival, and she had never heard of it in Germany before.
Rei didn't speak, just quietly looked at Shinji who was still lying on her lap, as if waiting for his opinion. Of course. Shinji must be 100% supportive of Rei's thoughts, and with a gentle smile, Shinji nodded slightly, which also made Rei's eyes that were still a little expectant instantly flash with a look of joy.
"But then again. What kind of story is that? I'm getting a little interested. Asuka tilted her head and looked curious.
"Hmm...... I'll tell you when I choose the show next week. "Shinji bought a sparkle.
"Cut. Who asked you. I'm asking Li. Asuka puffed out her face and turned her head to Rei and asked. Beautiful. That script is still with you, right? Show me. โ
"No, now the script is in Shinji's hands. I don't have it in my hands. Li said lightly.
"Hey? How...... Really, Shinji, you just sue me......" Asuka said coquettishly as she shook Shinji's arm.
"Wow! Painful ...... Tap ah Asuka. "For Asuka's coquettishness, Shinji coped with it in his current state. It's really a bit unbearable.

"Stage play, Crimson War."
"Gourmet restaurant, maid fast food."
"Stage play, Crimson War."
"Stage play, incomprehensible love." โฆโฆ
A week later, in class, Shinji, who had fully recovered his health, held his cheek with one hand, yawned, and looked at the record of Hikaru Togi, the head of the class at the podium. Shinji, who originally thought that the cultural festival would not be held as a sensation, was a little speechless at this moment, because today, when I signed up, the whole class was mobilized. All kinds of votes fell into the hands of the class leader, and after a morning of screening and review, finally, the votes in the class were prescribed to the four most options. They are stage plays that Leigh has been looking forward to. Hikaru Toki's own stage play. Dong Er and the restaurant series that the boys thought of.
"So, that's all for the four items to be voted on, and then I'll briefly introduce you to the basic content of the four themes." After the last round of votes, Hikaru Dong Mu stood on the podium and said lightly.
"First of all, Kensuke Aida's lecture on military theory. The general content is Aita's own compilation of knowledge about modern military affairs. Dong Mu Hikari said slowly.
Boy A: "Military or something...... It seems that it is nerv who is the top beam now, right? โ
Boy B: "That is to say, those weapons of the military have no effect on the Apostle at all, or EVA is more powerful." โ
Girl A: "Eun, if it's Eva, I'm interested." โ
โโฆโฆโ
After Hikaru Dongmu's explanation, everyone discussed their opinions. However, for military matters, everyone doesn't seem to be cold. After all, it's nerv's EVA who is in the limelight right now.
"Please be quiet, and I'll continue to explain what is going on." Hikaru Toki gave everyone a little time to discuss on the podium. Continued with his own commentary.
"Next is the stage play, the incomprehensible love." At this point, Hikaru Dongmu's cheeks turned slightly red. Because this stage play was written by herself. And the content ...... "This is a story about a princess and a knight, and the princess is forcibly married into another country because of internal affairs." Due to the hardships and dangers of the road, the thieves and enemy soldiers along the way, the princess was repeatedly in danger, but at every critical moment, the knight was able to step up, and over time. The princess falls in love with the knight, and together the two of them break free from the bondage of the state, come to a small city with no one to disturb, and start a new life of their own. โ
Girl A: "Sounds so romantic." โ
Girl B: "That's right." I agree with this proposal. โ
Boy A: "Isn't it too warm?" โ
Boy B: "I think so too. But it's much better than the lecture just now. โ
Everyone was still discussing, and in the corner of the classroom, Kensuke was crouching there drawing circles. Judging by his form, he has been hit hard......
"Okay guys, I'll move on to the next project." Hikaru Dong Mu is quite satisfied with the reaction of his classmates. So I moved on to the next project.
"In the back is Suzuhara-san's maid fast food, that is, the female students wear the maid's costumes, and the boys are responsible for the fast food."
"Yes!" Boys.
"Against!" The girls ......
"Uh...... Let's put this aside for now, and let's introduce the last project. A stage play recommended by Ayana-san, the Battle of Crimson. Dong Mu Guang paused and said. The Crimson War is about the struggle between the aristocracy and the commoners in the medieval West. In that country, the aristocratic forces and the commoner forces each appeared a good knight, and they happened to be the playmates of the princess of the country when she was a child, and with the fierce battle between the two forces, the two finally went to the dueling arena because of their different forces, and their purpose was to become the princess's husband and fight each other. However, at the end of the battle, there is a miracle, there is a scene in the stage play where two knights duel with swords, and the final ending is ......" At this point, Hikaru Toki's words came to an abrupt end, and her face turned red with a "pout".
Boy A: "What the hell is the end, squad leader, don't hang our appetite." โ
Girl A: "That's right, hurry up and sue us." โ
Everyone looked anxious, and it seemed that they had higher expectations for this stage play.
"This ...... ...... end," Hikaru Dong Mu squirmed. "At the end, it's the princess and the knight of the sky kissing......"
"Hey!!"
"Hey!!"
"Hey!!"
Rumble!!!
The whole class exploded because of the class leader's words. Everyone began to react positively to this stage play. As far as this vote of students is concerned, nothing appeals to them more than the likes of kisses.
"Sounds pretty good, and the battle scenes, I agree." A girl sitting in the corner raised her hand aggressively.
"That's right, you can see kissing, this kind of thing has to be approved no matter what!" These are the words of a boy sitting in the first row.
"I agree!"
"I agree too!"
โโฆโฆโ
In the next few minutes, almost the entire class agreed, except for Dong Er, who still insisted on the maid's fast food.
"Then, the show is set, stage play, the Crimson War!"
"Oh!!!!" With Dong Mu Guang's order, the entire class boiled again.
"Hehe, Rei, Asuka. Have you noticed that our class has always been so energetic? Shinji, who had been sitting in a daze for a long time, looked at this lively class with a funny look and smiled lightly.
"Hee-hee, because of the appearance of kiss." Asuka sat next to Shinji and grinned.
"Hmm." Rei also responded with a smile. Her show was chosen, and she was naturally very happy. Finally, she can try to play the role she likes and find her long-lost dream in the fairy tale.
"Hehe,It looks like the two of you are also very happy.,I just don't know who is lucky enough to be chosen as the hero this time?" The corners of Shinji's mouth rose slightly, because he knew that the next character selection link was the most intense moment!
