Shinji Ikari is humming a song and cooking, with a smile on his face, as if he is in a good mood! It seems, at this moment, it was waiting for dinner, Asuka sat at the table boredly, watching Shinji Ikari busy cooking there, and then she said disdainfully, "Are you so happy?" It's disgusting to laugh. ”

Shinji Ikari was already familiar with Asuka's words and character, and she didn't pay attention to it at the moment, still cooking there, and Asuka was not taken care of by Shinji Ikari, and she suddenly had a burst of anger in her heart, especially these days ago, Shinji Ikari also handed over a box of lunch to Ling Boli, although she didn't know why, but her heart was on fire, and suddenly she jumped up directly, grabbed Shinji Ikari's ear, and said loudly: "Talk to you!" Dare to ignore me!? ”

"Pain, pain, pain!" Shinji Ikari was stir-frying, and when he was pulled by the ear, he immediately screamed, but he couldn't break free.

At this time, Misato walked out of the bathroom, opened a bottle of beer, and smiled at the two of them, "It's a good relationship." ”

Suddenly, Shinji Ikari and Asuka both blushed, and Asuka directly let go of her hand and said, "Who will have a good relationship with this stupid person?" It's just that he doesn't answer me, I'm punishing him! ”

Misato had actually heard Asuka's words before, and after taking a sip of beer, she said to Shinji Ikari, "You've been in a really good mood lately, and your smile has become more, is there anything happy about it?" ”

Shinji Ikari suddenly said a little shyly: "No, I just think that everything seems to be going well recently, the synchronization rate is too, the school is good, everyone is very good, and I'm very happy." ”

Misato also laughed, and then said, "Is it because Roger keeps pulling you to the bar?" Then again, you're not an adult, and while I can't stop it, it's better not to get drunk. ”

"That, that ......" Shinji Ikari suddenly didn't know what to say, he felt that he had indeed done something wrong by drinking, but he couldn't stop Roger at all, he was poured alcohol by Roger every time, so he didn't know how to answer at all.

At this time, Asuka said with a cold face, "The dish is burnt." ”

"Huh? Yes! My dish! Shinji Ikari immediately turned around and hurriedly put the dish on a plate.

Misato drank in silence, watching Shinji Ikari busy there, and Asuka next to her talking coldly, after a long time, she asked, "Shinji-kun, what do you think of Roger?" ”

Shinji Ikari had already prepared a meal at the moment, and was taking off his apron, and when he heard this, he said, "Uncle is a good person, but he is too ......."

For a while, Shinji Ikari had a headache, and he didn't know how to describe Roger, so he only said half of the words, and Misato seemed to know what he meant, so he continued to ask: "You also know, he is an apostle, what if one day, we need to fight him?" ”

"Why?" Shinji Ikari immediately asked, "Uncle Roger is a good man, and I'm sure he would never want to destroy us humans, so should we attack Uncle Roger as well?" ”

"No, I'm just asking if ......" Misato didn't expect Shinji Ikari to react so violently, but she also knew a little, passive by nature, and Shinji Ikari with a low aura, almost no friends, and Roger's character happened to hit his weakness, although the age difference between the two is relatively large, but the relationship between the two is indeed very good, and even Misato feels that Roger has a tendency to replace his father in Shinji Ikati's mind.

"What if? There's no such if, right? Shinji Ikari asked, still disbelieving.

Misato had no choice but to sigh and say, "Then what if...... Was it your father's own command? Because Roger is an apostle after all, although at the moment he ......"

"No, it won't!" Shinji Ikari immediately showed a very serious expression, he looked at Misato and said, "No, Miss Misato, Uncle Roger would never do that, he is not that kind of person, I can guarantee it!" ”

Misato sighed again and said, "Okay, let's assume that Roger didn't do anything, but because he is an apostle, so in order to prevent any accidents, in order to protect humanity, and in order to never suffer in the future, the commander ordered that we must kill him, so will you do it?" ”

"No!"

Shinji Ikari replied categorically: "If Dad really gave such a bullshit order, then I will definitely not obey it!" I would never do anything with Uncle Roger! ”

"In that case, you are to the commander, no, you don't have to fly the first plane? Got it? You are of no use in front of the Commander. Misato took another sip of her beer, still uttering such cruel words.

"People don't live for what others say is useful!"

I don't know why, after hearing these words, Shinji Ikari's mind was hot, and he blurted out the words that Roger told him, and after saying it, he suddenly realized what he said, but still said: "If Dad really gave such an unreasonable order, even if I don't fly the first plane, I will definitely not obey it!" Uncle Roger is right, everyone has their own life and thoughts, I am not my father's vassal, I also have my ideas and power! The so-called uselessness is just useless to what Dad asks for!? Then I'll make one that works for others, and, and ......"

Speaking of this, Shinji Ikari's face was already flushed, as if he was making some very important decision and determination, and after a long time, he gritted his teeth and said: "If Dad really gave such an unreasonable order, and ordered us to eliminate Uncle Roger regardless of whether Uncle Roger wanted to hurt us or not, then what is the difference between him and the murderer?" Such a dad...... I wouldn't want, no, if he used his words, then he would be useless to me and to us! ”

After these words came out, not only Misato, but even Asuka widened their eyes, and they stared at him as if they didn't know Shinji Ikari, and Shinji Ikari felt strange when he saw it, and when he asked what was wrong, Misato exhaled, put down his beer and said, "It's nothing, I just think it's ...... You've become stronger, Shinji-kun, and when I met you, I was much, much stronger than before...... You're already a man. ”

"Yes, yes?" Shinji Ikari scratched his head a little shyly, as if he didn't know how to answer.

At this time, Misato clapped his hands, laughed and said: "I'm just making an analogy, just a hypothesis, Shinji-kun, as long as Roger is sincere and will not come to make enemies of our humans, then I don't think your father will have to destroy him, to be honest, if there is such an apostle who is kind to us humans, maybe he will become our protector in the future." ”

"Yes, yes!" Shinji Ikari immediately said excitedly: "Just like those previous hero manga anime, such as the superman in the United States, maybe Uncle Roger can really become such a person, but his personality is too ......"

"Ann, la, la." Misato rubbed Shinji Ikari's hair, she looked up at the ceiling and said, "If that's the case, it would be great, but it is estimated that after the future peace, the peace of our humanity, the peace of the apostles, or ...... In short, after the whole world is at peace, Roger will be the hero of the world, and we can live our lives, by the way, and the ocean will also be slowly managed, which is something that our generation, your generation can't see, in the future, one day the sea will turn blue, as I saw when I was a child...... The future, ah......"

For a while, the three of them were a little speechless, after dinner, it was a peaceful and peaceful night, and then they went to sleep, and Shinji Ikari was still wearing headphones, listening to songs and sleeping, when he fell asleep, he suddenly felt something behind him move, so frightened that he almost jumped, and then a voice rang out: "Don't move, just lie down like this." ”

This voice was Asuka's voice, and suddenly Shinji Ikari's body stiffened, and he didn't dare to move at all, and his face became red, so he lay with his back to him.

"You...... Were you happy before? ”

"I, I didn't ......"

"Tell the truth!"

Asuka's voice was heavy, and she whispered again, "Tell me the truth, okay?" ”

"I ...... Yes, it's fun. Shinji Ikari was silent for a moment before he spoke.

Asuka was also silent for a moment, and then asked, "What you said before, even if you don't drive an EVA anymore, you have your own way of living, right?" ”

"Well, yes." Shinji Ikari slowly calmed down, he said: "After getting to know my uncle, I know a lot of things from him, and he seems to have traveled in many places, and told me a lot of interesting things, the most important thing, he is very optimistic, even if he is an apostle, I am a human being, I still feel his optimism and strength, maybe it is infected by him, I am now, I am not afraid of loneliness, even if I don't drive EVA, I have my way of life." ”

"That's good...... Asuka's voice grew deeper and deeper, and she muttered, "But, if I don't drive the EVA, I will, I'll ...... There's nowhere else to go, and I'm no longer of any use. ”

Shinji Ikari was silent and didn't say a word, and Asuka continued: "Because I don't want to be hurt, I want to hurt first, because I don't want to be disappointed, so I don't have much hope, because there is nowhere to go, so I don't want to go anywhere...... I envy you......"

"No, that's not right!" Shinji Ikari suddenly remembered Roger's words, and at that time, his whole body was shocked.

The scene at that time was like this, after Roger showed his strength to break the apostle, he was pulled by Roger to drink, and he asked Roger a question, that is, since Roger is an apostle, why do he help humans like this, and besides, he is an apostle, isn't he lonely among humans?

"Lonely? Hahaha, I don't know what loneliness is, I just know ......"

Roger patted Shinji Ikari on the shoulder hard, then looked up at the sky, and said with little seriousness: "Human life is not to seek comfort, to seek warmth, or to seek security like you, maybe most people are seeking this, but I am not like this, and I think life should not be like this." ”

"So...... If you don't ask for this, then what should you get? Shinji Ikari asked incomprehensibly.

Roger took a deep look at Shinji Ikari and said, "You want to be comforted, you want to be warm, and you want to feel safe, so who do you want to ask for?" If the person you ask gives you, then where does the person you ask for, his comfort, his warmth, and his sense of security come from? Could it be that everyone asks for these things, and then asks for each other, and the negative can be positive? No, someone has to give this, pay to comfort others, pay to give others warmth, pay to give others a sense of security. ”

"My dream is to give dreams to those who have dreams, and to complete them together, so I have countless dreams, I have dreams of climbing the highest mountain, I have dreams of drinking the strongest wine in the world, I have dreams of traveling the whole universe, I will give comfort to all those who need it, give it to all those who need it? Warmth and a sense of security for all who need it! ”

"Shinji Ikari, you are not as cowardly as you think you are, you have the potential to become someone else to rely on, if there is a moment, you feel that you are responsible, no, you should say that, when there is a moment, after you hear what others say to you, you will know what you should do, I firmly believe that!"

At that time, Shinji Ikari didn't understand and didn't believe it, but at this moment, for some reason, maybe it was as Misato said, during the days of his acquaintance with Roger, he became stronger, at least at this moment, he suddenly understood the meaning of Roger's words, he, he didn't want to ......

"That's not right! You can have hope! You've got somewhere to go! You can do no harm! If you don't drive EVA anymore, don't drive EVA anymore...... Come to school with me! After graduation, you can find a job and travel, right! Go on a tour! With Uncle Roger, we will definitely be able to fight the remaining apostles well, and the future will definitely be peaceful, and when the time comes, let's go on a trip together! ”

Ikari Shinji hurriedly said, and his anxious movements even almost turned his head, and suddenly a fist hit him from behind, and he suddenly turned sideways again, and the fist from his back became lighter and lighter, and finally just put it on his back and said: "Stupid Shinji, stupid Shinji...... Will you be so strong in the future? Will you come and help me in the future? Will you come to my aid when I'm desperate, when I don't have anywhere to go? ”

"I ...... I'll help you! ”

"Hmmm......"
