53 News from Ritsuko Akagi
"Hey, you know so well, are you also a fan of theirs?"
Seeing that the black cat told the life stories of Lin Mingmei and Li Lanhua, Shinji Ikari, who found the unexpected joy, blurted out the question in his heart without thinking.
The black cat's footsteps paused slightly, and then he replied vaguely with a little blushing:
"Well...... There's probably no one in this world who doesn't like their songs......"
Then, in order to change the topic, the black cat took the initiative to answer Shinji Ikata's previous question:
"Lux? Klein's words, we've seen it a few times, are on super-large battlefields.
Well...... If you want to meet her, you can add friends with us, and maybe you will have a chance to meet her sometime. ”
"Okay, friend?"
Hearing this word, which no longer has its original meaning for online game players, Shinji Ikari became excited, and playing with "friends" or something, it was as unbelievable fantasy for him as seeing the four singers with his own eyes.
He even thinks that he might be able to see a pop idol with his own eyes when a singer comes to a concert near the city where he lives, but it will be difficult to find someone who can be "friends" with him in his life.
"Well, I'll add friends when I get back.
However, there are too many people who want to add Chu Xuan's friends, so Chu Xuan has turned off the function of adding friends remotely, you tell him your game ID and let him take the initiative to add you. ”
The black cat blinked and replied very calmly, it was like talking to other players in a virtual reality network to her, and she didn't know why Shinji Ikari was so excited, wasn't it just to add a "friend", how he was so excited as if he was about to cry.
- Although in reality, Black Cat is a poor creature with no friends, just like Shinji Ikari, but in the game, she is a famous lonely powerhouse? Chiba's Fallen Saint Black Cat!
Well...... There doesn't seem to be anything to brag about.
"Ah, Shinji, it looks like you're in a good mood and you're still having a good time with the other kids?"
When Shinji Ikari and Chu Xuan and the others moved their things to the place they had their sights, Misato Katsuragi and the others also came back from the management office, and Shigeru Aoba and Makoto Xiang, who were behind the three ladies who were carrying things in large bags and small rolls, were still carrying two large bags, which should have been the tents they rented.
"Miss Miri, five...... The black cat said that after I went back, I wanted Mr. Chu Xuan to add me as a friend and play "Super Robot Wars" with me! ”
Shinji Ikari, who was already happy, immediately told her the good news after Misato Katsuragi, who was the closest to him, and let his "family" share the joy in his heart.
However, Shinji Ikari behaved so exaggeratedly, which made the black cat feel embarrassed, so she deliberately straightened her face and pouted and said to the others:
"Well...... It's just a game together, what a fuss! ”
"Hehe...... Super Robot Wars, in the next week or two, the EVA you are driving will also appear in that game.
And as an official driver, you'll get your own EVA instead of the production EVA...... However, the black cat's body data has not yet been entered into the game, so it can only be piloted in the production model for virtual training first. ”
Speaking of "Super Robot Wars", Dr. Ritsuko Akagi, who is in charge of technology, also jokingly told Shinji Ikari a good news.
- This is indeed good news for Shinji Ikari, who is a very ordinary old human who is quite inconspicuous even in the game, and if he hadn't become the pilot of the first EVA machine, he would not have dared to imagine that he would have the opportunity to drive this unique and exclusive robot one day.
You know, in order to redeem the exclusive robots piloted by famous pilots, you need not only money, but also a certain "pilot level" requirement - because no driver wants to see their own robot being driven into a garbage robot by someone else, even if it is only in a virtual game.
"Eva, if that thing can appear on the battlefield...... Not bad. ”
Hearing the news, even the black cat couldn't help but curl the corners of her mouth, but what she imagined was not the handsome scene when she was driving the EVA, but the envious expressions of the other "friends" when they saw this huge robot with extremely powerful ability, even enough to be called the "ultimate general-purpose humanoid decisive battle weapon".
"Not only that, but the 'apostles' you used to be the best will also appear in the game.
After all, we have now fought two open battles with the Apostles, and the matter of the Third Apostle before that should have been felt, even if only from the perspective of stabilizing people's hearts, we should add this new 'interstellar worm' to the regular training menu. ”
Now that part of the news has been revealed, Ritsuko Akagi Suo also told everyone the rest of the "update content" in advance, and Shinji Ikari only felt more happy and proud after knowing the news - after all, the fourth and fifth apostles have his credit, while Chu Xuan, Misato Katsuragi and the three technical soldiers in the nerv base have chewed some other flavors from it.
But on this occasion, they all chose to laugh it off, and did not discuss the deep meaning behind this move in front of the three children, and besides, those issues are not something that a little person like them should care about, so it is better to leave it to Commander Ikari and Deputy Commander Dongyue to think about, they only need to think about how to have a good time now.
"Alright...... Everything we need for camping has been moved, so what are we going to do? ”
Misato Katsuragi put the blanket and quilt she was holding on the neatly stacked boxes on the floor, and then stretched hard, and asked about the next work in a happy mood.
Just like Shinji Ikari, she was able to talk to Chu Xuan naturally without realizing it, maybe this is the unique contagion of group activities, Dr. Akagi's good intentions were not in vain.
- Of course, in the "class", which is full of all kinds of malice, children like Shinji Ikari, Kuro Cat, and Rei Ayanami still can't escape the fate of being marginalized.
But things may be a little different in the future, Shinji Ikari has made two friends, Kensuke Aida and Toji Suzuhara, and Rei Ayanami and Kurota have formed a "sister" relationship that is even closer than their close friends in the boudoir (scheduled), and even in school, at least they will not be as alone as they were in the past.
"Although it's still early, it's better for us to prepare for the camp first, and then do the ** activities.
How about I set up the tent with Shinji, Kuro Cat, Rei, Aoba, and Akami, and Katsuragi, Dr. Akagi, and Ibuki going to the sink to clean up the cooking utensils and handle the ingredients? ”
Chu Xuan pushed down his reflective glasses and proposed, but Misato Katsuragi's face immediately turned embarrassed, and she objected without hesitation.
"Oh, no, no, I can't do it!
Why don't I change things with Shinji, I'll go and pitch a tent so that Shinji can do some light work. ”
"Don't! Miss Misato pushes this kind of work to me every time when she is at home, so how about you experience my usual 'ease' today? ”
Probably because he found Chu Xuan, the new "backer", Shinji Ikati, who has been silently allowing Misato Katsuragi to support at home, not only dared to say "no", but also exposed Misato Katsuragi's old background.
"Whoa, whoa, whoa...... Shinji! You dare to sarcastically mock me, it seems that I need to make you understand who is the head of the family......"
"Help!"
Although she was very pleased with the change in her heart, Misato Katsuragi deliberately pretended to be dancing with her teeth and claws, and made a gesture to rush towards Shinji Ikari, who also laughed and hid behind Chu Xuan, while Dr. Ritsuko Akagi was very cooperative and stretched out her arm to stop her friend.
In a campsite that is supposed to be full of fun, but even on weekends there are no visitors other than them, the laughter is especially loud, making it a little less deserted**. (To be continued.) )
