Chapter 21: Winter Er, Sakura, Shinji

Miri's apartment

"Shinji-kun, aren't you going to go to school today? It's the fifth day. Wearing pale blue pajamas, Misato leaned against the kitchen door, brushing her teeth without a figure, lifting her foot and rubbing the itch on her other leg. It's hard to imagine that Misato, who now looks like this, and Misato, who commanded during the battle, are the same person.

"Ah, I don't want to go yet." Shinji is in the kitchen making breakfast for Misato. "I'm going to the hospital today. Sakura had surgery on Monday and now needs someone to accompany her, and the doctor says she can be discharged in another week, so let's go back to class next week. "The Sakura that Shinji is talking about is Suzuhara Sakura, the sister of Suzuhara Winter Er. And the whole thing starts on the second day of Shinji's battle with the Fourth Apostle. The day after the battle with the Fourth Apostle, Shinji began to skip classes. The purpose is to find the hospital where Suzuhara Sakura is. After an argument with Suzuhara Dongji at the time, Shinji thought he could take some time to see Suzuhara's sister, but forgot to ask him which hospital his sister was in. Shinji, who had just fought with Dong Erda, couldn't go back and ask, so he had to bite the bullet and look for it one by one. I don't know if it's a city specially prepared for the battle period or what, but there are more than a dozen large hospitals in the third new Tokyo City. There are countless small clinics. This can cost Shinji a lot of energy. But Shinji's luck was pretty good, after an afternoon of traveling. In the evening, I finally found the target I was looking for in the seventh hospital I found. The hospital isn't very big, and it doesn't look like a top-notch hospital. Facing the hospital with the demolition noise on the side, Shinji frowned slightly. Walking towards the hospital, like the previous six hospitals, Shinji went directly to the inpatient area and asked the nurse's desk.

"Hello Miss Nurse, is there a patient here with the surname Suzuhara? It's a little girl. Shinji asked the nurse in front of him with his signature smile. The nurse couldn't help but be a little fascinated when she looked at the handsome child in front of her. But he quickly came to his senses, and said to Shinji with a professional smile. "Hmm. There is a little girl surnamed Suzuhara who lives here. But it's always his brother who comes to see her, may I ask who you are? "Shinji has implemented it in his heart, and he has finally found it." I was a classmate of his brother Suzuhara Dongji. Suzuhara has been in class lately, and I came to see his sister in his place. Can you tell me that she lives in that ward? ”

Looking at the sincere eyes of the young man in front of her, the nurse lady let go of the worries in her heart and pointed out the location of the ward for Shinji. Walk around two corners. Shinji came to the ward. "Does Suzuhara live here? I'm a friend of Fuyuji Suzuhara. Shinji took out a bouquet of daisies from the necklace that he had already bought. Walked into the hospital room. Looking at the four hospital beds in front of him. Shinji was a little puzzled, couldn't the Suzuhara family even rent a separate ward?

"I'm Suzuhara." A weak voice rang out in the far corner. "Big brother, may I ask who you are?" A girl with a bandage on her forehead and a cast on her left hand and right leg, who looked extremely thin, answered Shinji's words.

This girl with a haggard face and no innocence at about * years old makes Shinji feel more and more uncomfortable when he looks at it. Gathering his thoughts, he put the bouquet in the vase next to him. Shinji said to the little girl with a sunny smile. "Hello little sister, I'm your brother's friend, and my name is Shinji Ikari. Come and see you on his behalf today. How's it going, are you feeling better? Shinji sat on the chair next to the little girl's bed. Well, it doesn't hurt very much anymore, thank you Shinji brother. My name is Suzuhara Sakura. My brother can only come to see me on weekends, and the rest of the days are Sakura alone, so Brother Shinji will come to accompany Sakura in the future, okay? Sakura doesn't want to be alone. As she spoke, tears began to glisten in Sakura-chan's eyes. It can be seen that the little girl in front of her is really lonely, and she has lost her healthy days, and she can only sit on the hospital bed and look at the scenery outside the window.

"Hehe, Sakura-chan, don't worry, when your brother is away, Brother Shinji will come back to accompany you." Shinji said with a smile. Hearing Shinji's words, Sakura finally burst into tears and laughed. "Sakura-chan, it looks like your injuries should heal quickly if you have surgery, isn't there any plan for surgery at home?"

"Hmm. Dad also asked. It's just that the doctor said that the level of this hospital is limited, and it is difficult to come and do surgery for my injury. Dad also asked about the surrounding hospitals. Only the Tokyo Municipal First Military Region Hospital can do it, but ......" said Sakura a little unable to say more. There was another layer of anger in his eyes. Shinji clearly understood something. "Sakura-chan, good. Don't cry. My brother brought you some goodies and you closed your eyes. Sakura was a little curious, but she obediently closed her eyes. Soon Shinji took out a lot of candy from the necklace, which made Sakura, who opened his eyes, smile sweetly, "Good Sakura, don't be sad, don't you have a brother, if the wound hurts in the future, you will eat one." That way, the wound won't hurt. Looking at Sakura-chan's sweet smile, Shinji's inner discomfort was finally eliminated a little.

At night, after putting Sakura to sleep, Shinji leaves the hospital and returns home to sit by the TV, thinking about what happened today while playing the TV.

"How Shinji-kun. Did something happen, you've been on TV for two laps. Lying on the tatami mat, Misato looked at the absent-minded Shinji and asked curiously.

"Huh? Well. It's Miss Misato like that. Shinji thought about it and told Misato the reason for the incident. That's the way it is, so I wondered how I could help Sakura. ”

"It's easy. It would be nice to transfer her to the direct hospital of the nerv in your name. Misato couldn't help but sigh when she heard what happened, and then she gave her opinion.

"In my name?" Shinji didn't quite understand what Misato meant.

"Yes, don't you know? As a driver, you have an official position when you enter the NERV. The rank is a lieutenant, and it's the same level as me. So, as long as you apply, you can directly transfer the little girl from the Suzuhara family to the hospital directly under NERV, which is the First Military District Hospital in the third new Tokyo City. And the technology of the hospital, have you experienced it yourself? I won't say more. However, since it is an individual application, the medical expenses are not covered by NERV. Misato explained to Shinji.

Shinji was also excited to hear Misato's words, it was naturally good to be transferred to the direct hospital of NERV, and for himself, money was never a problem. "So Miss Misato, when will I be able to make this application?" Seeing Shinji's excitement. Misato couldn't help but laugh, "Is there such a hurry?" Hehe. I'm going to help you apply. Just tell me about the hospital where that little girl is. I'll do the rest for you. But ......" Misato's voice instantly became sweet and greasy. "But, as a reward, Xiao Zhen ~ I'm hungry ~"

Seeing that Misato instantly turned into a seductive look, Shinji could only smile helplessly. After suing Misato of Suzuhara Sakura's hospital, he went to cook for Misato. In the process, Shinji suddenly thought of a question, since he was a lieutenant, why did he never see his father pay him?

In this way, the next day, Suzuhara Sakura was transferred to the First Military Region Hospital. And the next day, Shinji came to the hospital again to visit Sakura, and from Sakura's face, it was obvious that the lively breath that belonged to the child had returned to the little girl who had been suffering from illness. For three days, Shinji was in the hospital with Sakura. Read stories to Sakura, eat fruit with Sakura, and put Sakura to sleep. Watching Sakura's condition improve day by day, Shinji's heart was also slightly comforted-

a.tfield――

It's the same today, Shinji came to the hospital as usual. "Sakura-chan, I've come to see you." Walking into the ward, Shinji saw two figures that he hadn't seen for a long time. At Sakura's bedside, Suzuhara Futsuji and Kensuke Aida are standing there. Fuyuji looked back at Shinji with an indescribable guilt in his eyes. "Shinji, brother, you're here. Hehe, today's brother, Kensuke's brother, and Shinji's brother all came to see Sakura, and Sakura was really happy. Sakura smiled happily.

"It's been a long time, Suzuhara-kun, Aida-kun." Shinji broke the ice first. "Aren't you going to class today?"

Dongji was slightly stunned and answered Shinji's question, "Okay...... It's been a long time since I've seen him. I just heard about Sakura-chan transferred here yesterday, so I'm going to see her today. "After returning home last night, I received a call from my father from the research institute, saying that my sister had been transferred to the First Military Region Hospital. And the person who handled the transfer procedures was a lieutenant who had never met before. After learning of this incident, he didn't care about going to school the next day, so he called Ueda to the hospital. After a conversation with my sister, I learned that the one who has been coming to see Sakura recently is Shinji who has been taking a week off.

"Well, Ikati-kun, can you come out with me?" Suzuhara said to Shinji with some sternness, and Shinji shrugged his shoulders and followed. Before Shinji could speak in the open space of the hospital, Suzuhara bowed to Shinji with great respect. "Thank you, Ikati-kun, thank you for taking care of my sister, and, I'm sorry."

"Nothing. Sakura is also responsible for being injured.,And I also like Sakura's child.,I still want to recognize her as a sister.,I don't know if your brother is willing to cut love? Shinji smiled and helped Fuyuji up. Dong Er also smiled with emotion after hearing this. Later, he said solemnly to Shinji, "Ikari-kun, please punch me again, if you don't fight, I will feel guilty for the rest of my life." ”

"Huh? I remember fighting it last time, right? Shinji was a little speechless, and it was estimated that Dongji would still have a lot of bruises on his back after an over-the-shoulder fall last time. But Kensuke next to him opened his mouth to explain for Dongji, "Ikaku-kun, you better fight, he's such a person, if you don't fight, he'll be very uncomfortable." ”

"Well, alright. But beware, my fists are hard. ”

"Yes, please fight with all your might!" Dong Er said sternly. Shinji smiled when he understood, and immediately separated his feet, and a powerful left hook struck Fuyuji in the face with the sound of the howling wind.

Table tennis! Dong Er's whole person flew up in the air, and then fell to the ground fiercely. Kensuke next to him had an expression of disability and closed his eyes. didn't wait for Dong Er to get up. Shinji walked over and held out his hand with a smile on his face. "Then I'll be Sakura's brother from now on, please give me a lot of advice."

"Ah, please advise Shinji-kun a lot." Dongji, who was lying on the ground, was slightly stunned, and then also stretched out his hand and shook Shinji. The three people standing together looked at each other and smiled happily.
