Chapter Thirty-Six: The Girl in Memory

"Sss

The sound of the beer can opening resounded in the quiet room, and after Shinji and the others left, Misato, who had just taken a bath, wrapped herself in a bath towel and leaned lightly on the refrigerator, quietly drinking beer, and after taking a big sip, Misato lowered her head and laughed self-deprecatingly.

"It's ironic." Misato said to herself. "How am I going to deal with him?" After chuckling again, Misato picked up the phone. Dialed a number.

"They've just gone out, and I'm going to leave it to you to protect, please." After a simple entrustment, Misato hung up the phone, "Protect him?" Hehe, who is the object of protection? Misato looked down and laughed again, her eyes full of self-deprecation and remorse.

After leaving the door, Shinji and Rei walked side by side in front, followed by the stunned Fuyuji and Kensuke, if Shinji looked back, he would see that the two of them were walking in a weird way now, waving their left arm forward while stepping out of their left leg, and when they stepped out of their right leg, their right arm would move forward, that is, they walked forward with the same hands and feet.

Because Shinji has a car, naturally few people just walk to the school. Coming to the garage Shinji and starting the car, Fuyuji and Kensuke made it to the back seat with flying speed, and their waists were straight. The face is full of sternness. Rei sat in the co-pilot's seat, the car started, the four of them didn't say anything along the way, Shinji drove the car intently, Rei was looking intently at the scenery outside the window, and the two people in the back seat didn't move as if they were petrified.

Soon, the car drove to the school, and at the school gate, the two people in the back seat quickly got off the station and waited for Shinji to drive the car into the garage, while Rei accompanied Shinji to drive the car in.

"Shinji, what's wrong with the two of them?" When there were only two people left, Leigh asked.

"Hehe, probably because seeing you and I live together, the two of them are a little uncomfortable." Shinji scratched his face with his index finger. smiled at Leigh.

Rei couldn't understand this, but she didn't say much. Accompanied Shinji to get out of the car and walked towards the school together, the four of them met again at the school gate, the two of them still had the same strict expressions, standing straight bodies, heads raised high, I don't know what kind of plane they were doing.

"Shinji-kun, it's time for class soon, I'll go over first, I'll see you later." It's Rei who speaks.,After speaking, he walked towards the teaching building first.,Shinji heard a small detail in Rei's words.,This time Rei didn't call Shinji but Shinji-kun.,That is to say,At present, Rei is not too embarrassed to call herself so intimately in front of others.,But Shinji didn't care.。 After all, it's just a title.,The relationship between myself and Li's two just needs to understand each other.。

Seeing that Rei went to school first, the stern expressions of Dongji and Kensuke finally relaxed.

"Huh......" let out a long breath, and Dongji turned his face and strangled Shinji's neck with his arm, "Shinji, you are too cunning!" Quickly recruit out, what exactly is between you. Dong Er shouted loudly.

"Huh?" Shinji was stunned.

"That's it. I actually lived with Ayanami without a sound, you traitor! Kensuke also rushed up and scratched the itch under Shinji's ribs.

"So so. I didn't live alone with Rei, and the three of us lived with Miss Misato, not what you think. Shinji explained.

"Really...... I envy you so much. The two burst into tears. Facing the two of them who looked like this, Shinji could only smile.

After the start of the class. Shinji leaned on the table again, looking at the scenery outside the window and reading this boring class, while Rei in front of her was listening attentively. Fuyuji diagonally behind is lying on the table looking at the manga he just bought, and Kensuke is playing with his camera on the other side of Fuyuji. Gradually, Shinji fell asleep on the table. He had a dream in which a thin girl stood beside him in the sun.

"Nana, Aotian, you said you wanted to marry me, don't go back." A girl with a black half-double ponytail stood in front of Aotian with her hands behind her back.

"Bing'er? Is that you? Shinji with a surprised face seemed to have returned to the era of Aoten.

"Hmm. I'm relieved to see you so energetic. Bing'er smiled sweetly. But before Aotian could speak again, the picture changed in an instant, a dark snowy night. A bitter cold wind. It was the same girl, but at this time she was lying on the ground, and the white snow under her was dyed bright red. Aotian rushed forward like a lightning strike. "I'm sorry Aotian, I can't wait for you to marry me." The girl's body floated in the air, and her voice was extremely weak. "You have to live a good life." After saying that, he handed himself the black bread that was still a little moldy in his hand. I wanted to catch it, but I found that the distance between me and the girl was getting farther and farther away.

Bell!!!!

"Ahh

Shinji was awakened by the bell for the end of class, and a cold sweat broke out on his head. After taking a few heavy breaths, he slowly exhaled. "Is it a dream?"

"Shinji? What's wrong? Why is your face so pale? Rei heard the movement and turned back to Shinji and asked,

"Nothing. It's just a nightmare. Shinji replied with a somewhat feeble smile after he settled down.

"Is that so?" After making sure that Shinji was okay, Rei sat down and began to prepare for the next lesson. And Shinji was lying at the window looking at the clouds floating in the sky, and he had a lot of thoughts. "Bing'er, are you still used to it over there?" I thought of my friends who used to share weal and butter together, and I thought of Bing'er who was far away. The girl who made his heart ache for the rest of his life.

Rumble!! Rumble!!!

The roar of the engine pulled Shinji out of his memory. Outside the school gate, a blue Renault is driving towards the teaching building at a very fast speed.

After only listening to a squeak and a beautiful tail flick, the car was parked in the parking space accurately. The sound of parking instantly led Fuyuji and Kensuke to the window, "She's coming, she's coming!" Dong Er shouted excitedly. Kensuke also pointed the camera at the car. The car door opened, and Misato appeared in front of everyone's eyes in a professional OL outfit. Crisp white high heels with a short black tight skirt. Her long dark blue hair flowed behind her yellow uniform, and her lips were painted in a seductive red, causing the entire school building to roar.

"Wow, that's handsome."

"Who is she?"

"I heard that he is the guardian of Ikari classmate."

"Nani? Ikari has such a beautiful guardian. Too envious. ”

The entire school building is talking about Misato's arrival, and Shinji has temporarily forgotten her dream because of Misato's stunning outfit. Looking at the glamorous Misato downstairs, she couldn't help but smile bitterly, this is the rhythm of tempting these little wolf cubs to death. As if sensing Shinji's gaze, Misato looked up at the window where Shinji was, and made a triumphant "V". When Fuyuji and Kensuke saw Misato's eyes on their side, they also stretched out their hands to greet Misato.

"Hehe, sure enough, Miss Misato is the most beautiful. Especially since she's the Minister of Operations, it's really amazing. Dong Er fantasized while making a "V" gesture. "Na Kensuke. It's good that Shinji is a kid and not our rival, so it would be nice to have Miss Misato as my girlfriend...... Ahhh ”

"I think you'll have a hard time then, Dongji." Shinji quipped.

"Sir, it seems that you don't know us at all." The two of them looked at Shinji at the same time, their eyes full of disdain.

"Then it's decided, and the peace of the world will be handed over to you, so Miss Misato will be handed over to us!" As he spoke, the two patted Shinji on the back. The tacit understanding between Fuyuji and Kensuke is simply extreme, and at the same time, the same action of the words, the real heir of the shoot is staggering.

Shinji had no choice but to reluctantly accept the enthusiasm of the brothers. After Misato entered the school building, Shinji turned around and sat behind Rei again, chatting with Rei, who was sitting sideways, waiting for the three-way meeting to begin.

a.t.field――

The whole meeting was basically nothing to see, just to discuss the future with the guardian. The process was so boring that Shinji was almost asleep, and if it weren't for Rei and Misato being around, Shinji might have slipped away just five minutes before the start. There was no class in the afternoon after the meeting, but Shinji and Rei still couldn't rest, they needed to go to Nerv to receive spiritual connection and various training, sitting in the cockpit, the LCL solution filled his lungs, Shinji's expression was very calm, if it weren't for the mental connection outside that had been reporting the situation inside, maybe everyone would have thought that Shinji was asleep.

It's so quiet, why is it so safe to sit here? LCL, familiar taste. This feeling is like a mother's embrace. What kind of connection does the first machine have with his mother? Shinji began to speculate.

"Shinji-kun, your synchronization rate has dropped a bit, what are you thinking?" Ritsuko said to Mike from the command platform.

"It's nothing, it's just a little distracted." Shinji replied, and then began to concentrate, and the synchronization rate returned to its original value again.

Ritsuko saw that the synchronization value had picked up, and she also put down her microphone and continued to observe the number on the screen. There was a sound of tapping on the keyboard.

"Hula."

The door of the real yàn room opened, and the person who came was Misato, who had already changed into a military uniform. Standing in front of the screen and looking at the detection number of the first machine, Jù asked. "How's it going, are you still smooth?"

"Well, a qiē is very smooth." Ritsuko picked up her coffee and took a sip. "That kid is amazing, since the battle with the Fifth Apostle, the synchronization rate has increased again. 88.5%, which is already a remarkable number. ”

"Ah, really. This kid is always so surprising. Misato said with a smile. By the way, how was the last battle with the Apostle? ”

"There's no progress at all.,The synchronization rate is more than 100% and you can continue to control it.,More than 120% of the rampage critical drivers are still in a state of soberness.,We can't make any explanation for this.,I also asked Shinji.,But he couldn't say anything.,The only thing that's clear is that Shinji was angry at the time.,I think it should have a lot to do with Shinji's state at the time.,But the last few tests.,No matter how hard Shinji tries, it hasn't exceeded 90%,And it's 90% The post-synchronization rate has become extremely unstable, and now being able to stabilize the dìng at 88.5% is already excellent. Ibuki reported to Misato from the sidelines.

"Yes, we can't rush this matter, and Xiao Zhen is already very good now." Misato laughed again.

"That's right." Ritsuko put down her coffee and picked up the microphone, "Shinji-kun, it's over, you can come up, thank you for your hard work." ”

"Yes."

Shinji, who walked out of the first machine, looked back and took a deep look at the first machine, and didn't say anything more. He left with Misato and his party.

On the elevator, Shinji leaned against the railing and looked at the scenery of the underground city, and asked, "Dr. Ritsuko, where is Rei?" Isn't her machine zero very badly damaged? Where is she now? ”

"Well, Leigh is waiting for me in my office now, I'm going to go and do a physical examination for her in a while, you can wait for her outside." Ritsuko replied to Shinji, and then turned her gaze to Ibuki, who was in the same elevator. "How's the chest armor parts of Machine Zero?"

"The damage was extremely severe. Originally, I was going to change to a new one, but I had to increase the budget, so I was very tight. Ibuki took the notepad, rubbed his forehead with a pencil, and said with a little worry.

Ritsuko also frowned after hearing this, "In this case, we can only wait for the second plane to be shipped from Germany to make it easier." ”

"Machine two?" Shinji raised an eyebrow.

"Why Shinji, don't you know? Misato should have told you. Ritsuko asked when she saw Shinji's appearance.

"Well, I've never heard of it." Shinji turned his head to Misato.

"I'm sorry, Shinji-kun, I've been too busy to mention it to you." Misato folded her hands and said to Shinji. "According to the Vatican Treaty, each country can have three EVA mechs, so the second machine will be shipped in about a week, and the pilot of the second machine is also a beautiful woman."

"Really? I'm really looking forward to it. Shinji said with a smile, not listening to Misato's conversation behind them, and turned to look out the window again.

Slowly, Shinji recalled the dream he had in the morning. In my memory, a thin girl with a half-ponytail, big eyes, and a pretty face appeared. One turned to Shinji and smiled slightly, "Aoten, remember, you said you wanted to marry me." ”

"Bing'er. I'm sorry......" Shinji's eyes darkened. Even if Rei is by Shinji's side, he will think of Bing'er's cunzài from time to time, and even if he is already in another world, Shinji will not forget her, because that is someone he will never forget in his life.

Click. Bite!

The sound of the elevator arriving interrupted Shinji's musings. After getting off the elevator, he and Ritsuko walked in the direction of the office.
