At the Linton house, Ayanami Rei looked at Asuka with a cold face, who had just finished taking a shower and was sitting on the sofa drinking a drink. Yes, Asuka did move into the Linton house in the end, while Misato Katsuragi was
It became a place where she would perform rituals.
Asuka's salutes were so special that they filled the whole room. Now it's almost impossible to walk into the room over there, let alone live in it. Asuka said that it's the next door anyway, so it doesn't matter where she sleeps anyway.
There are also vacancies here. The apartments on both sides have the same layout, with exactly three rooms.
"Oh oh oh, are you angry?" Asuka looked at Ayanami Rei with an interesting look on her face, "I understand, it was originally a world between you and that magician, and I disturbed you, so you are very unhappy, right?
.”
“...” Ayanami Rei here did not answer and continued to stare at Asuka.
“Do you like this magician uncle?” Asuka asked interestingly.
“No.” Ayanami Rei said immediately, but after a slight pause, she asked again, “What does liking mean?”
"Huh?" This question made Asuka stunned for a moment, "Aren't you pretending not to know about this?"
“I… don’t know.” Ayanami Rei said.
“Then why are you angry now?” Asuka asked.
"I'm not angry, it's just that I have to prepare dinner for one more person now, which affects my practice." Ayanami Rei said.
"Uh...well, we can take turns about dinner." Asuka said, "I am also...probably...definitely very good at cooking."
That seems pretty certain, but in fact, after living for 14 years, Asuka has never cooked before, and her current cooking experience is zero.
“I refuse, that is my mission.” Ayanami Rei said immediately.
“Hey, you don’t believe me?” Asuka stood up and said unhappily.
“No, that’s my mission.” Ayanami Rei repeated again.
“Hmph, if you refuse, then I’ll give it a try. No one can order me. Anyway, you’re the one cooking today and leave it to me tomorrow,” Asuka said.
“I refuse.” Ayanami Rei said insistently.
"What you said is useless. Anyway, you are following the orders of the magician uncle. If I tell him, there is nothing you can do." Asuka said.
“…” Ayanami Rei was silent for a moment, and then suddenly asked, “Do you… know Linton?”
“Huh?” The sudden change of topic made Asuka unable to follow.
“He knows you.” Ayanami Rei continued.
"What do you mean? Do you care about that?" Asuka said, "I don't know what happened, but I had never heard of his name before today."
“But he knows you.” Ayanami Rei said.
"Oh oh oh, I understand, you have a sense of crisis here, right?" Asuka said with a smile, "I am so famous, it is not surprising that he has heard my name. After all, I am the pilot of Unit 2.
And the No. 0 and No. 1 units piloted by you and the second-generation officer are both original models, and they are not at the same level as the No. 2 units that I have developed for actual combat."
“...” Ayanami Rei was silent again, as if she was not interested in this topic at all.
“Is it really just a doll?” Asuka said, spreading her hands.
“I… am not a doll.” Ayanami Rei said.
“Huh? A little bit self-aware...”
Before Asuka finished speaking, Linton opened the door and came in. Looking at the two people in the living room, Linton was stunned for a moment.
"Ah, you came just in time." Asuka said here, "Anyway, I live here now. Starting tomorrow, this guy and I will take turns taking charge of dinner."
"What?" Linton was stunned for a moment, "Forgive me for refusing."
“Hey, what’s your expression? Are you questioning my cooking skills?” Asuka yelled.
“This is not a question, the main reason is that my Ayanami Rei’s cooking skills are at the peak, and she cannot be compared to some other fish,” Linton said.
"What?" Asuka was stunned for a moment, and then she saw Rei Ayanami's eyes turning around. Although she still looked expressionless, for some reason, she always felt like she was smiling.
“How dare you call me a bastard?” Asuka yelled directly.
"Don't you have any sense of self-awareness?" Linton said, "Have you ever cooked?"
“No!” Asuka said with her hands on her hips.
“Then why do you act like a master chef?” Linton said.
“Because I’m a genius, whether it’s fighting or cooking, I can become the strongest right away with just a little study.” Asuka said confidently.
"Oh... that's okay." Linton nodded, "Don't say I didn't give you a chance. That's it."
Linton waved as he spoke, but before Asuka could understand what was going on, a blue thing flew directly over from the balcony next to him, and Linton caught it in his hand.
"This is my cat." Linton said, "If you can make food that this cat can eat, I will recognize your 'genius' level. If not, you will make everything yourself."
eat."
“Huh? What kind of proof is this? My food is for people, not cats.” Asuka said.
"So I told you to be self-aware. Do you still want me to eat poison that even cats won't eat?" Linton said, "That's it."
"Hey, hey." Asuka said unhappily, and Linton rolled his eyes again with the cat in his hand. Are you trying to poison yourself again? Fortunately, he is a tailed beast, otherwise ordinary cats would have gone to heaven to report.
“Speaking of which, why do we take turns cooking? Shouldn’t you also take turns?” Asuka thought for a moment and said suddenly.
"Me? Children are responsible for doing the work in the dormitory here. If you don't believe me, ask next door. Shinji Ikari is also responsible for cooking." Linton said, "And I told you that I won't let you cook. My Ayanami Rei is the No. 1 in the world."
One, didn’t you make this up yourself?”
“I’ve already prepared this meal.” Asuka slammed the table and said, “Just wait, I’ll make you two open your mouths and shout ‘delicious’!”
"Then I...wait a minute, you almost thought this was a food show." Linton held up his forehead. He didn't know whether Asuka was smoking or not and insisted on cooking. He already had someone here.
The person who cooks doesn't care whether you want to do it or not. He has another thing to deal with now.
"I just talked to Misato, and the debugging of Unit Zero will start soon." Linton suddenly said to Ayanami Rei, "The previously agreed one week time has already arrived, and you will be responsible for your own magic practice after that.
Try Harder."
“Huh?” Ayanami Rei was suddenly shocked.
"Haha? What's going on? Miss Doll is going to be kicked out?" Asuka said with a smile next to her.
Ayanami Rei immediately looked at Linton with a somewhat anxious expression.
“Of course not, who will cook for me when she leaves?” Linton said.
“I can do that.” Asuka said without thinking it was a big deal.
"So I've said that I want you to have some self-awareness." Linton said, "I just mean that the cultivation matters are almost done. There is nothing to teach you in the future. You have to understand it yourself. There is also the practice that I lent you before.
Give me back the gems."
Yes, Linton's main purpose is to get the Bengyu back. Isn't this the second round of testing? The Bengyu has always been on Ayanami Rei's body before, but now the situation seems to be a little wrong. It's better to get it back first, otherwise
I'm really afraid that Rei Ayanami will suddenly become his daughter.
Of course Linton can take back Bengyu at any time, and he can definitely get it if he takes it by force, but he still chooses to talk to Ayanami Rei.
But apparently Linton underestimated Ayanami Rei's reaction. As soon as he finished speaking, Ayanami Rei suddenly trembled all over, as if she was making a difficult decision.
“A gem for practicing, what is that?” Asuka asked strangely, “It’s used for practicing magic? Where is it, let me see.”
Ayanami Rei was a little trembling, but she still took out the Bengyoku, but before she handed it to Linton, Asuka took it directly from the side: "What is this? Why does it glow by itself? This thing..."
“Give it back to me!” Suddenly Rei Ayanami suddenly jumped up and directly held Asuka down. The sudden situation frightened Asuka here.
Asuka is just curious. Obviously Bengyu is not like other gems. It is something she has never seen before. It can also shine. And Asuka doesn't know why she feels like it is attracting her when she sees this thing.
Yes, she just took it over to take a look, but she didn't expect Ayanami Rei's reaction to be so big.
“So this is a very important thing?” Asuka thought for a while, but did not hesitate to hand the Bengyoku to Ayanami Rei again.
"Why does it look like the Lord of the Rings?" Linton raised his forehead, "Okay, give it to me."
"..." Ayanami Rei was stunned again, and said nothing. She slowly handed the jade to Linton, but her hand was still a little trembling.
Linton took Bengyu over and studied it again. Sure enough, Ayanami Rei's change had something to do with Bengyu. Otherwise, he wouldn't have had such a big reaction. This is a famous three-no contestant. So it's like longing for emotions.
Was Bengyu’s deepest wish heard?
Sure enough, I still want to give it a try. This time Linton decided to find someone with a slightly more complicated relationship and see the reaction. Currently, there are two candidates, Misato Katsuragi and Asuka. I haven’t decided which one to choose. Anyway, I have plenty of time.
Not in a hurry.
Just as she was thinking about it, Ayanami Rei, who had just put down Bengyu, hesitated again. After a slight hesitation, she suddenly asked: "Excuse me... what are the benefits?"
“What?” Linton and Asuka next to him shouted in surprise at the sudden question.
