"…The development of EVA is the work of many people…"

"The chief scientist is the chief scientist." Xiao Zhen, who was busy in the kitchen, smiled and said flatteringly: "Oh, you can talk to Sister Misato - the noise will be a bit loud when I start cooking here."

As soon as the range hood was turned on, Xiao Ding started cooking.

"You should eat less." Akagi Ritsuko poured a glass of beer. She wanted to be reserved, but then she immediately started to eat with relish: "--If you get fat, Shinji-kun might not want you anymore."

"Ha, ha—that's even better. But Xiaozhen said he likes me like this—it doesn't matter if I'm a little fatter."

"I'm just kidding you—you're 30 years old, and you're still acting like a little girl here—you believe that?"

"Uh... only 29 years old..."

"Haha." Akagi Ritsuko started chatting while drinking, relaxing for a rare moment... "Shinji-kun really suffered a big loss. He chose an old lady as a woman, and he has to cook for her and feed her... Alas."

In fact, Ritsuko Akagi has always wanted to say this: I have to drive EVA and fight to the death.

But she really couldn't say it, for various reasons.

"They're still driving EVAs and risking their lives, while we adults can only watch." Katsuragi, having downed a few glasses of wine, lost his composure. "Ha, come to think of it, sometimes it really is true—what garbage we are."

"Hmph, hmph... But there's good news." Akagi Ritsuko took a sip of wine, leaving a red lip print on the glass, and her guard gradually dropped: "If Shinji-kun fails, within thirty minutes - bang, all humans will go to heaven. Ha..."

"Yeah, that's good news—we don't have to feel so bad." Misato Katsuragi leaned against her best friend. "But listen, we can't let this happen!"

"Of course." Akagi Ritsuko looked at Misato's serious face and said with a smile, "When the Third Angel was fighting Unit-01—you know what? There were hundreds of UN bombers flying in the sky. Why? Waiting to drop N2 bombs. If Unit-01 failed, the entire Third New Tokyo would be blown up. Ten N2 bombs, equivalent to three times the atomic bomb equivalent of Hiroshima, would be dropped from the sky in one batch, capable of ten bombings—saturation-bombing the Angels into the sky."

"...Tsk."

Mizuko was a relatively weak opponent among the Apostles, so a large amount of N2 could solve the problem—the only problem was the ending. But compared to all of humanity and the Japanese—5 Chang immediately made his choice.

"It's okay. I'd risk my life to prevent this from happening." Xiao Ding came up with the last dish and said, "Coconut fish maw and chicken soup—especially suitable for beautifying a beauty like you. You've exhausted yourself too much for humans, and it would damage your beauty—and fortunately, this is rich in collagen. It tastes delicious, please try it. Our Chinese comrades say, 'Nourishment from medicine is far inferior to nourishment from food.'"

"Hey, hey—Ritsuko. When Xiaozhen heard you were coming, she dragged me to choose ingredients for half an hour, and then worked in the kitchen for three hours, just to wait for you. You guy..." Katsuragi said with a bit of jealousy: "Come to our house more often, Xiaozhen has never made these for me."

"If you want, Misato-nee." Ikari Shinji suddenly laughed, looking at Misato Katsuragi at this moment, thinking of Misato Katsuragi who would be willing to take a bullet for him in the future - he said affectionately, "I can cook for you every day."

"Uh...it's good, but you'll get fat."

"Miri-sister is Miri-sister, I know, I will always know."

"...You two are done." Ritsuko Akagi teased, still wanting to eat some dog food while eating, "I didn't come here for anything today, mainly to celebrate with Shinji-kun. But... I didn't expect to become a guest. Ah, our best friends of so many years can't compare to a man's contact for a month. Truly, a man forgets his friends for the sake of a beautiful woman."

"Hey, Ritsuko, don't be like this, I love you too..." Misato Katsuragi wanted to rush over, but was unfortunately blocked by Ritsuko Akagi.

"You're thirty years old now, stop being so cute! --But Shinji-kun." After thinking about the reason for coming today, Akagi Ritsuko still wanted to persuade him: "Have you ever thought about what will happen in the future?"

"Didn't I tell you? Our contract is for one year—after one year, I plan to go to South America..."

"No, I mean, from now on, I'll stay in Japan forever." Akagi Ritsuko tasted the chicken soup handed to her and ate it while she spoke - it tasted really good! This little dog has some skills!

I hope Lao Gou can have one fifth of his ten thousand girls!

"I'm not here to discuss your religious beliefs—quite the contrary, you can do whatever you want. I simply want to persuade you as a friend—stay."

Doesn’t that bit of yellow earth bury people?

"Hmm... let's not talk about that today. Anyway, welcome, Ritsuko-sama—um, first drink, to our friendship in fighting together."

"Uh..." Gulp, two taels.

"Second cup." Xiao Ikari poured himself a drink: "To the wise men who created Unit-01, and the warriors who commanded and dispatched Unit-01."

Gudong, two taels

"The third cup - to your health!" Gulp, two taels.

"Okay, okay—uh, should I toast you too?"

"No need, Sister Ritsuko is a woman after all."

"...What's wrong with the woman?" Gulp! "Cough cough... cough cough cough..."

"Oh, right." Oh, you're blushing? You've been drinking, haven't you? "I heard Sister Misato tell me when she was drunk - you like my father, right?"

"!???!?! Katsuragi Misato!" Suddenly, he sobered up and grabbed the bewildered Katsuragi Misato by the collar. The intellectual beauty's intellectuality was gone, leaving only her beauty.

"Ah? Ah... Oh, Ritsuko, please forgive me. I, I really don't know what I said when I was drunk..."

"Misato was mumbling under her breath after getting drunk. I was also puzzled - I didn't expect it to be true. Uh... I just tried to ask, but I didn't understand." Xiao Ikari laughed awkwardly: "One glass of wine as a penalty, one glass of wine as a penalty... uh. But -"

Shinji Ikari drained his drink before speaking to the blushing Ritsuko Akagi, "As his blood relative, I can't say I'm good or bad to Gendō Ikari. Perhaps I'll never have any contact with him again in my lifetime. However, if you truly have ideas in this regard, I fully support you, Sister Ritsuko. You're one of the few outstanding scientists I've met who's dedicated to practical and significant endeavors. Actually, I only support you as a person, not this matter. Well, I hope you'll keep up the good work."

Xiao Ding is not stupid.

He knows what to do and what not to do. He was screwed so badly last week that he came up with this idea——

Of course, this is what we should do at the beginning of this week!

"?!?!"

"Aha, that's great, Ritsuko—he's all okay with you being his stepmother."

113 You are bad, you are bad, you are really bad

Ah, mom had to leave home for her career and family, and dad had to embrace his career and leave family for mom.

Anyway, to be frank, this "family" has long had nothing to do with Ikari. We dare not delve into what Ikari Yui's inner world is like. After all, "You gave me your love and the world, and from now on I don't know the pain and joy in your heart."

Little Ikari doesn't dare to say "I understand you" because few people can easily say "I understand you" with Ikari Yui's logic - the reason? It's simple: starting from 50 billion years, go play by yourself.

So, let's just say the triangle between Unit-01, Dad, and Ritsuko is up to you. Oh, and if you factor in the mage system, it's a four-corner relationship, mother-daughter love, hahahahaha...

In short, Ritsuko Akagi has officially obtained the recognition of her son.

Xiao Ikari is still giving advice to Ritsuko Akagi.

"Ms. Ritsuko, I'll use the simplest method to deduce this. Based on Vice Commander Fuyutsuki's behavior, and my secret questioning of his shock, I've heard that I look a lot like my mother. Well, you seem to agree." Ikari downed another two ounces of wine. Then, taking a bite of a pickle, he spoke in a serious tone, "So, my father's preferred type is probably dark-haired. Your blonde hair looks beautiful to me, but the teacher said, 'Women dress to please themselves.' You'd better not dye your hair. Oh, and by the way, there are many kinds of beauties. There are those who are refined like you, and of course, there are those who are carefree like Misato-san."

"Hey! What do you mean I'm careless?" Misato Katsuragi threw the beer on the table and, under the influence of alcohol, engaged in a 1vs1 fight with Ikari Ko, eye to eye, nose to nose.

He was drunk and arrogant, trying to use his adult status to overwhelm Shinji Ikari's aura.

"..." It was hard to hold back - Xiao Ikari then kissed the other person's red lips directly.

While the other party hadn't vomited it out yet, and since he had drunk 65% alcohol, his alcoholic smell was even stronger - after quickly kissing Katsuragi Misato's red lips, the beautiful boy gave a manly command, "Stop making trouble, sit down first - ah ah. Where were we talking about?"

“…” Ritsuko Akagi looked at the scene in front of her with a look of surprise.

Didn't the Pig Emperor once famously say that women can't be fucked? —But it's clear that Katsuragi has been completely captivated by this beautiful boy, 15 years her junior?! I...what the hell is this?

"Oh, right. Speaking of makeup—your makeup is very delicate, and your combinations are very harmonious—but it seems that my father doesn't like this style. Ah, although I hate to admit it, after all my research... hehe, I was a scout!—Oh, right. Sister Ritsuko, have you heard of the Tang Dynasty poem 'I only fear that powder will smudge the colors, and write about the beautiful woman's light makeup'?"

"? Chinese poetry?" The two sides called it differently. Akagi Ritsuko said awkwardly: "What did you just say...?"

"I learned Chinese from my Chinese comrades. You Japanese should be able to understand it, right? I heard from my Chinese comrades that you Japanese learned your culture from them."

"Uh..." Your name is really... "That's right..."

Ikari dipped his hand in the water and threw Katsuragi aside. He sat down next to Akagi Ritsuko and wrote 14 Chinese characters in the water: "Here, this is the poem - I heard that Chinese comrades said that you Japanese and Chinese can communicate in writing."

"Uh..." Looking at the poem that Shinji Ikari wrote with water on the dining table, Akagi Ritsuko was really impressed: "You also know Chinese?"

"Well, language is easy to learn—as long as it's between life and death, anything is easy to learn." Ikari, with a bright and cheerful smile like a big boy, pointed at the poem and said, "Although changing your appearance is just my personal opinion, why not give it a try?"

"Not really, I'm used to it." Akagi Ritsuko hesitated for a moment, then felt that it was too embarrassing for two 29-year-old women to be pressed down by a 14-year-old boy. She subconsciously wanted to resist: "Why, Shinji-kun also likes me to wear less makeup?"

"Pinch (no), pinch." Xiao Ikari shook his head, then shook it vigorously: "As for Sister Ritsuko, any makeup is great. But I just said that light makeup might be more suitable for your next action, that's all. Of course, as far as I'm concerned..."

Xiao Ikari glanced at Katsuragi Misato who was standing beside him and suddenly laughed: "The beauty I just mentioned is wearing light makeup like this."

"Hey, what are you talking about?"

"She said you were beautiful - then, Sister Ritsuko, you should think about it. Well, I said too much, sorry, I'll have a glass of wine as punishment..." Gulp, two taels.

Ritsuko Akagi felt a little emotional and agitated in her inner world.

Could it be that all this is just a longing for my mother? Could it be just a desire to surpass her?

Or...jealousy?

——————————————————————————————

"?!?!"

The next day, Maya Ibuki looked at Akagi Ritsuko in confusion as her blonde hair turned black and her usually heavy makeup turned into light makeup.

"What? Is there a problem?" Akagi Ritsuko looked up at her schoolmate: "What's the problem?"

"?! Yeah (no)! Yeah yeah! No, nothing, senpai."

Maya Ibuki quickly shook her head, as if she saw her wife's portrait changed. When she saw Ritsuko Akagi's style, Maya Ibuki was also a little dazed for a moment.

Ever since graduating from high school, I've dyed my hair, right? — Ritsuko Akagi started her day's work. Before that, it seemed like everyone today had a new look at her.

"Well, let's start over. What about yesterday's report on the repair of Unit-00?"

"Here, Senior."

——————————————————————————————

Of course Shinji Ikari knows what he did.

Apart from anything else, at least it showed Riko a clear path.

Secondly, although he might not be able to do anything, he would be very happy even if he could cause a little trouble to old Ikari.

The whole family was very happy.

Because of Katsuragi Misato's extreme protests, Ikari Shinji endured it all night and fell asleep in her arms. Well, it was really a bit uncomfortable - when she woke up the next morning, Katsuragi Misato's mental state was much better.

"Well, I'm going to school first."

"Ah, don't skip class today." Still hungover, Katsuragi Misato lay lazily in bed, "Please, just give me some face..."

"Okay, Misato-san." Ikari Shinji nodded, then asked, "Is there anything else?"

"Ah, it's Japanese custom—it's time to take out the non-burnable trash today. Could you please take it out?"

"I understand, Misato-san—well, I'll be leaving now."

"Okay... uh, put on your coat?"

"It's too hot, forget it. Why, am I allowed to wear my military uniform?"

Xiao Ikari waved his hand gently and left Katsuragi's apartment.

After the second wave, Japan was truly in the heat of summer year-round. It seemed even the cicadas had broken free from their dormancy, chirping non-stop. Ikari shoved his hands in his pockets, unsure of what to expect from an opponent. He had nothing else to do today.

Xiao Ikari was in a good mood.

After class, everyone stood up.

"Hey, Mr. Ikari - what happened?" After class, seeing the upturned corners of Ikari's mouth, several classmates gathered around him.

"Nothing, just remembered something happy." It was mainly because of Little Ikari that Old Ikari saw Akagi's expression, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but curl up. Although he didn't say anything, he inherited Shinji Ikari's soul—some things couldn't be ignored. Even if he said it, he still felt a knot in his heart.

Seeing Old Ikari get humiliated made me feel somewhat happy.

But I have to say one thing - Old Ikari is still "relatively" loyal.

In many versions, she is devoted to Ikari only.

In the official manga, he actually says "I once loved you" to Akagi—Sadamoto Yoshiyuki's version, which Anno adapted for the new theatrical version, and installed on Ikari, who loses to Shikihachi Asuka. It seems many young people prefer this ending, but... well, it's just me.

"What? Is something wrong?"

"Oh, swimming lesson next period—uh, did you bring your swimsuit?"

"Swimming lessons?" Ikari was stunned. He'd come from Siberia and fought in Afghanistan for years. He'd gone on a short trip to South Asia, and he knew how to swim... but the last time he'd swum was when he and Sosuke were hiding in the rainforests of South Asia. The river was filled with all sorts of strange creatures, and he and Sosuke had to hold their breath for two minutes or even longer... because the enemies searching outside couldn't tell when they'd leave.

"Swimming... I really miss it." Xiao Ikari nodded and said, "I don't have a swimsuit..."

"Oh, let's go, let's go borrow one." Yesterday, Ikari Shinji's Little Red Book had filled my head with knowledge, but today, Ikari Shinji called me teacher. Kensuke held Shinji's hand, his camera still in his right hand. "Other classes should have finished their lessons, or else the school would have something similar. As for swimsuits, men don't have to choose the right size like women do, hahaha..."

"How vulgar." Several girls on the side cast contemptuous glances at the boys here.

A few minutes later, a group of boys ran to the locker room to change. Men, it's true, swim trunks are all pretty much the same size. Especially since they're all size 14, that's pretty much it.

“…!? Sensei! —”

Shinji Ikari is a little different.

His body, though pierced by knife wounds and six holes, looked at least as ravaged as a hail of bullets. His back was relatively smooth—Katsuragi hadn't scratched it yesterday, nor were there any hickeys. Not to mention the eight-pack abs, there were knife wounds, rape wounds, burns, and explosions.

The key point is that men can’t hide it more than women.
