Chapter 60: The Summer Festival (Part II)

"Shinji, is this okay?" Just when Shinji returned to the fitting room after settling the bill, Rei, who was wearing a white kimono, slowly walked out of the fitting room, looking at the holy angelic Lily in front of him, Shinji subconsciously swallowed his saliva.

The white background sets off the skin of Li's sheep fat jade, the light blue orchid at the corner of the clothes and the girl's short blue hair complement each other, with a purple belt, and Li's slender waist is gently lined out. Elegant, beautiful, these beautiful words are difficult to describe the girl in front of Shinji.

"Isn't it pretty?" Seeing Shinji's stunned appearance, Rei turned around and asked softly.

"Ah, no." Shinji came back to his senses, "You look good in this dress, Rei." For a while, Shinji couldn't find any adjectives to describe the girl in front of him, so, after a simple answer, Shinji fell into a sluggish state again.

"Shinji?" Rei waved her hand in front of Shinji's eyes, and finally brought the young man back to his senses again.

"Ah...... Hehe, sorry, sorry, I'm so fascinated, Leigh, you're so beautiful in this dress. Shinji scratched the back of his head embarrassedly and smiled. And Li only blushed slightly. Then he whispered, "Well, buy this." After that, Rei returned to the dressing room and changed back into her original clothes. When Shinji was checking out, Hikaru Tonki came to the counter with a yellow kimono and a few slightly smaller kimonos.

"Ahra, Ikari-kun, Ayana-san. Have you already chosen? Hikaru asked sweetly.

"Ah, thank you, squad leader, if it weren't for your help, we might have missed this summer festival." Shinji smiled politely at Hikaru Toki.

"Where is the word, you are serious." Hikaru Dongmu replied with a smile as well. "Anyway, Ayana-san's kimono is so beautiful, it's going to be attractive to wear on you."

"Thank you, Dongmu. Shinji picked out this dress for me. Lily said softly. The kimono of Tongi is also very beautiful, and the yellow hue gives it a warm feeling. ”

"Hehe, thank you Ayana-san, yellow is my favorite color." A blush was on Dong Mu's bare cheeks.

"Then, as a thank you, I'll hand over the squad leader's bill today." With that, Shinji didn't give Hikaru Toki a chance to refute, took the clothes in her hand and walked to the counter.

"Ayana-san, this ...... Isn't that right? Hikaru said to Rei with some twist.

"It doesn't matter, Shinji is that kind of person, as long as he makes a decision, he basically won't give anyone a chance to refute it." Ayanami and Hikaru Tonki walked side by side towards the counter. "Ever since I met Shinji, he has been like this, whether it is me, Misato-san, or Asuka, his care and the warmth he gives us make it difficult for us to refuse, or we can't refuse. In this regard, even Asuka compromised. ”

"Hehe, it's really domineering and gentle. Is this why Ayanami likes Ikami-kun? Hikaru Dong Mu chatted with Rei as he walked.

"Huh?" Leigh's cheeks flushed slightly.

"I really envy Ayana-san, I can have such an excellent boyfriend as Shinji." Dong Mu Hikaru said enviously. "But I ......" thought of Dong Er's hot-blooded stupidity. Dong Muguang's eyes were in a trance, he had obviously hinted at him like this, why didn't he react at all.

"Hehe, don't worry, squad leader." Shinji, who had already settled the bill, turned around and smiled. "Dong Er's guy is a tendon, if you really like him, ask him out to play, today's summer festival is a good opportunity."

"Huh? Ikari-kun, how do you know? Hikaru Tonki blushed at Shinji's words, she really didn't know how Shinji knew that she liked Dongji, could it be that Dongji sued him? No, Dong Er didn't know how to ...... his feelings for him at all

"Peace of mind, class leader, there are more than 30 students in the class, and the three of us are talking to you except for Asuka. Kensuke, that kid is only interested in DV, and I already have Li, so the only reason is that you have a crush on that guy from Dongji, squad leader. ”

Shinji grinned with grinning through his teeth. His words made Hikaru blush.

"Ikari ...... Ikari-san. Don't make fun of me. Hikaru Tonki was so red from Shinji that she was dripping blood, and after taking the kimono in the bag, she hurriedly bowed and fled the scene, and before leaving, she heard Shinji shouting from behind that she wanted to come out with Dongji today to participate in the summer festival.

"Hehe, I didn't expect that someone would like Dong Er's tendon." Shinji grinned when he saw Hikaru Tonki's back running away in a hurry.

"Shinji, does Toki-san, like Suzuhara very much?" Rei asked softly behind Shinji.

"Ah, I've noticed it since the first time I saw the two of them talking, although it's very subtle, but every time the squad leader and Dong Er talk, I'm a little embarrassed, I guess that's it. Leigh, are you interested? ”

"No, it's just that judging from the behavior, Suzuhara seems to like Misato-san, right?"

"Forehead......" Shinji had a drop of cold sweat on his head, and it seemed to be ...... It's really true. However, Fuyuji and Misato are impossible. It's better to let him discover Dongmu Hikari's storage zài earlier.

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

"We're back." Shinji's voice echoed through the room. After a morning of shopping, Shinji and Rei had already bought all the kimonos for the summer festival and everything they needed to bring on their school trip, and they had lunch on the way, and they also brought back a bento box for Misato, who only had a half-day shift.

"Welcome back, Shin, Lei." Misato's sweet and greasy voice rang out in the living room, and there was also the sound of running on the feet. That's because of the sound of Misato running to greet the two, oh no, to welcome the bento that the two brought back.

"That...... Sister Miri, don't be so excited, right? Shinji handed the bento in his hand to Misato, who looked expectant.

"Hee-hee, people are hungry......" Misato's greasy voice made Shinji feel furyed. Hmm~ It tastes so fragrant, it's beef curry, right? ”

"Ah, I came across a newly opened curry shop on the way, so I went to try it out, and I brought it back to you because it felt pretty good."

"That's it, thank you for your hard work, Xiao Zhen, Li." After saying that, Misato staggered back to the living room again, and in a few moments, the living room sounded the happy moans that Misato only let out when he drank beer.

While eating at Misato, Shinji and the two went to Rei's room together, and bought a lot of things today, and Shinji planned to help Rei pack her luggage for a school trip in the near future.

"Shinji, what's in that bag?" Halfway through the packing, Rei found Shinji putting a bag next to her, but Rei had the impression that she hadn't bought the bag.

"Ah, it's a kimono, I picked one for Asuka when you changed your clothes, and I don't know if she will participate in the summer festival, so I bought it just in case." Shinji packed some of Rei's toiletries into a small suitcase. He explained to Rei.

"Is that so......" Rei thought for a moment, then continued to pack.

"What's wrong Li, do you have any questions?"

"......" Leigh did not speak. He just shook his head slightly.

Huh? What's going on? Shinji was puzzled. But he didn't ask much, girls, there are always some things on their minds.

After packing their luggage, Shinji and Rei went back to their rooms to rest, and the vacation given by Nerv was not common, according to Shinji's plan, a good night's sleep was the king. Shinji, who was relaxed all over, slept until the sunset. It wasn't until Asuka came back that she woke up leisurely.

"I'm back." Asuka's crisp voice came into the room.

"Welcome back to Asuka, Ahra, it looks like you've bought a lot of good things." Misato, who was sitting in front of the TV, smiled as she looked at Asuka with a large bag of things in her hand.

"Eun, because I went out shopping with my blessed seniors, I bought a lot of things before I knew it. Haa~ I'm tired. Asuka stacked the bag on the table and stretched wide. Perfectly curved. "Huh? Aren't Shinji and Ayanami not at home? ”

"Xiao Zhen and Li are both resting in the room, a rare holiday, both of them should be sleeping, right?" Misato replied as she took a sip of the beer in her hand.

"Hey? It's five o'clock in the afternoon, doesn't the stupid Shinji have to get up to cook? ”

"Uh...... Actually, I'm planning to go out to eat together today. As soon as Asuka's words fell, Shinji walked out of the room and explained to Asuka while rubbing her hazy sleepy eyes. Today is the summer festival, and there are many snack bars in the park outside, so I thought it would be more lively for everyone to eat outside. ”

"Huh? Is it a summer festival? Misato looked back at the calendar and realized that today's day was indeed August 15th. Cut...... No wonder NERV will be kind enough to take a holiday, it turns out that today is a summer festival. Misato squinted her half-moon eyes and said with a look of hatred.

"Huh? What are you talking about, Sister Miri? Shinji looked at Misato with a foul expression. I couldn't help but ask.

"Ahh Nothing, nothing, in that case, you should quickly change your clothes and get ready to go. Misato instantly changed her expression and grinned.

"Change of clothes? What to change into clothes? Asuka was puzzled.

"Of course, it's a change of kimono. At the summer festival, children are expected to change into kimonos, and adults usually choose bathrobes. Of course, there are also women who like to wear kimonos. ”

"Kimono? It's the same thing as a yukata? Asuka said. But I don't have a kimono. Mr. Blessing is also true, there is such a festival and even sù sù me. I would like to say why the park is so lively today, because there is such a festival as the Summer Festival. ”

"Huh? Asuka, don't you know about the summer festival? ”

"Well, I've been studying and participating in NERV training in Germany, and I've heard of the summer festival, but I don't know when the summer festival is held. Because no one celebrates a holiday in another country. Asuka spread her hands.

"Oh yes. Hee-hee, then while it's still early, let's go buy one for you and Li. Misato said and stood up from the tatami mat.

"Ah, no need Sister Miri, I've already done it all." With that, Shinji walked back to the room again, took out a bag and handed it to Asuka.

"Huh? Xiao Zhen, what are you? Misato was a little surprised to see Shinji's movements.

"Ah, I ran into Hikaru Togi when I went to the mall with Rei today to buy the necessities for a sabbatical trip, and she told me about today's summer festival, so Rei and I have already bought clothes, considering that Asuka is from Germany, and I shouldn't have any knowledge of this, so I bought her a kimono on my own initiative." Shinji smiled a little embarrassedly.

"Hey~ You're still very careful, stupid Shinji." Looking at the red kimono in the bag, the corners of Asuka's mouth rose slightly, "Since that's the case, I'll accept it unceremoniously." After that, Asuka returned to the house with the bag, thinking that she was going to try on clothes.

"That...... Shin, do you know anything about the Summer Festival? Misato asked with some writ.

"Huh? You know, isn't it just that there are a lot of entertainment facilities and food stalls in the park? Oh yes, there's a fireworks display at night. ”

"Uh...... Where did you know that. ”

"Dongmu Guang, didn't you just say it, I met her on the way. Sister Misato, why do you ask that? ”

"Uh...... In other words, this is the first time you've heard about kimonos today. ”

"Yes, Sister Misato, you're so strange today, what's wrong?" Shinji is puzzled, what's wrong with Misato today?

"Hehe, it's okay, it's okay, Rei should have a kimono too, right? Did you pick it? ”

"Yes, Rei is wearing a white kimono. I picked it too. Sister Misato, something is wrong with you today, is there something hiding from me? ”

"Ah, how, how could it be? Hey. Hey, hey, hey. Misato laughed wryly. Then, I hope Asuka will like the kimono you gave her, okay, you can go and change your clothes, and then go and call Rei, we're ready to go. ”

"Oh, okay, but Misato-san, don't you have to change your clothes?"

"Well, you don't have to wear a kimono. So I can do it just like that. Okay, you can go back and change your clothes. Ignoring Shinji's doubts, Misato pushed Shinji into his room. After closing the door, Misato leaned against the door and let out a long breath.

"Whew...... I didn't expect Xiao Zhen to be really bold, so I gave it to the girl in a kimono. I don't think he knew the point of giving a kimono, right? Misato said in her heart. It's okay to give it to Li, after all, Liz is Xiaozhen's rightful girlfriend, but Asuka ...... She should also not know the meaning of the kimono, otherwise she would never accept it lightly. Do you want to tell them the truth? Misato looked up at the ceiling, and then a gossip smile appeared on her face. Don't sue them, that's fun, hee-hee. ”
