Ultraman: What, I am guarding Ultra Father?

I was in such a state, but this guy didn't even look at me. He is such an unromantic man.

Akagi Ritsuko looked at Higashino Kei's shifted gaze, and complained in her heart, but her face remained calm and she said:

"Shinji invited us to his house tonight, saying he wanted to express his gratitude to you. Do you want to go?"

It seems that EVA's specialties include not only EVA, but also the "three-no" girl, the "tsundere" girl, and Shinji Ikari's cooking skills.

Considering the distance between the two houses, it is only a matter of one step.

Higashino Kei thought for a moment and said, "Then go."

……

NERV headquarters.

In a dimly lit restaurant.

Faint candlelight illuminated both sides of the long table.

Ling Nan Ling's inhuman appearance remained the same as always, sitting quietly at the side of the dining table.

The food was already prepared on the table.

Compared to the steak and red wine in front of Gendo Ikari, the table in front of Rei Ayane was filled with a large number of capsule medicines and nutritional supplements.

It doesn't look like something humans can eat at all.

Before preparing to eat, Ikari Gendo saw the girl sitting quietly in her seat opposite him, unmoved, so he spoke:

"Let's eat."

"Yes,"

Ling Bo Ling: "Commander Ikari, my injuries have healed."

"Tomorrow you will go to school first, and then we will set a time to start the piloting experiment of Unit 00."

Ikari Gendo thought for a moment and said, after all, the memories he instilled in Rei Ayanami were for the purpose of piloting EVA.

after eating.

Ikari Gendo stood up and showed care to Ayanami Rei as usual, then waited for Ayanami Rei to smile before turning around and leaving.

"Commander Ikari," Ling Ling's voice called out to Ikari Gendo.

Ikari Gendo turned around in surprise: "What's wrong?"

"Is there anyone in this world who doesn't have an AT stance?"

Ling Bo Ling thought of the man who was responsible for helping Maya prepare the LCL solution, but did not feel any trace of AT stance on him, and a sense of curiosity arose in his heart.

Ikari Gendou said calmly: "Everyone has an AT stance."

Chapter 146 Chapter 145: Dinner, What Are You? (Two-in-one chapter has been modified)

Ikari Gendou said calmly: "Everyone has an AT stance."

"In this world, there are no humans without AT's stance."

"Yes,"

Ling Bo Ling responded and fell silent again.

That person has no AT stance, so he is not a human being.

But he is just like everyone else.

So he is a human, but not a human...

Can't understand...

……

At night, at Misato Katsuragi's house.

Can't understand...

Is this kind of shitty food really something that humans can make?

Smelling the strange smell coming from the pot of soy sauce-colored soup placed in the middle of the table, Kei Higashino began to doubt his life.

"what is this?"

"Gulu~"

Katsuragi Misato took a sip of beer and said as if it was a matter of course, "It's curry."

"It's delicious, don't you two want any?"

Misato Katsuragi saw that Ritsuko Akagi and Shinji Ikari were indifferent to the curry she made, so she couldn't help but ask.

Upon hearing this, Shinji Ikari and Ritsuko Akagi looked at each other and shook their heads.

He also looked like he was declining the offer and wanted to avoid it as much as possible.

"No, curry is too high in calories, and I'm trying to lose weight recently," Akagi Ritsuko waved her hand and refused, "Just something light."

Shinji Ikari gave an awkward but polite smile: "Me, me too."

"Hate it, it's obviously delicious when cooked this way, curry-flavored instant noodles, but I can't make it taste like this."

Misato Katsuragi thought they didn't know how to appreciate delicious food, so she added soy sauce to the soaked ramen, stirring it and tasting it with relish, while not forgetting to show it to Kei Higashino.

"Hitano-kun, look, this is how you stir the curry. The trick is to leave only a little bit of the liquid and then stir it with the remaining hot water."

Kei Higashino glanced at the stirring substance in Misato Katsuragi's instant noodle bucket, and his face suddenly realized something.

“Isn’t this just curry noodles?”

"It's delicious," Misato Katsuragi coaxed.

Miri's pet penguin named Pianpian saw Meili eating so happily and took a tentative bite.

Then, with a look of doubt on his face, Bird Life fell to the ground with a thud.

This……

Kei Higashino looked through the crack in the door at the penguin lying on the ground, unable to get up, and was silent for a moment.

"Well, I'm not used to curry, so I'd rather have a bento."

Seeing this, Akagi Ritsuko's face flashed with regret, and she turned to look at Ikari Shinji:

"Didn't you say you were going to cook tonight? Why did Misato end up cooking instead?"

Ikari Shinji scratched his head and said embarrassedly:

"I'm sorry, the aftermath of the battle blocked all the transportation routes, so I didn't buy any fresh vegetables at the store."

"Sis Misato heard that you were coming over, so she specially cooked a pot of curry..."

Akagi Ritsuko sighed: "Shinji, next time it's your turn to cook, please call me over."

"Sorry, sorry," Shinji Ikari said apologetically, apologizing for what happened tonight: "I'm sorry for the poor hospitality."

"You are excusable,"

Akagi Ritsuko waved her hand casually and took out the magnetic cards of Rei Ayane and Shinji Ikari from her bag:

"Oh, and here's this thing. This is your new card. When you go to the headquarters, stop by her house and give it to Ling Bo for me."

"OK,"

Shinji Ikari calmly took his and Rei Ayanami's magnetic cards and put them casually in his pocket.

Seeing Shinji Ikari's indifferent look, Katsuragi Misato couldn't help but feel curious:

"Ah, having such a legitimate reason to contact Ayanami is a good opportunity. Why, Shinji...don't you like girls?"

"Okay, Misato, stop teasing me."

Shinji Ikari said with a smile that didn't match his age: "Ayanami and I are just colleagues."

Although Rei Ayanami was indeed his white moonlight, in the rewritten world, Ayanami actually likes Kaworu Nagisa, not him.

And he has already made an agreement with Makiba.

So Shinji, who had a chance to start over, didn't want to interfere too much in Aya's life, he just wanted her to have a free life.

But for some reason, whenever Shinji Ikari thought of the agreement with Makiba, he always felt an inexplicable sense of disharmony.

"really?"

Misato Katsuragi said suspiciously.

It is hard to imagine that the word "colleague" would come out of the mouth of a 14-year-old boy.

Thinking about the time when Shinji Ikari lived in her house, he showed the sense of boundaries that an adult man should have.

Sometimes Misato Katsuragi couldn't help but suspect that the person living with her was not a fourteen-year-old child, but an adult of the same age as her.

"real,"

Shinji Ikari is serious and sincere.

There's nothing fun to watch.

Katsuragi Misato couldn't help but feel bored. She accidentally caught sight of Higashino Kei, who was absorbed in eating and watching TV. She squinted her eyes and approached Akagi Ritsuko, whispering:

"Ritsuko-chan, I remember you and Higashino-kun seemed to live together, right? How is he good at that?"

"how to say……"

Ritsuko Akagi rolled her eyes and gave Misato Katsuragi a meaningful look.

Misato Katsuragi seemed to have realized something. She looked at Kei Higashino's body shape and her expression seemed to be regretful.

It also seems to be saying, you are so young and you look so good, why is it that you are no longer able to do it?

Higashino Kei: “…”

He has been very quiet, just to try to avoid making his presence felt so that he can gather information. Why is he being brought up again for no apparent reason?

Fortunately, this somewhat awkward atmosphere for Kei Higashino did not last long.

Ritsuko Akagi received a call and was called back to NERV headquarters because of the news that the road had been repaired.
