"So I just want some ingredients for dinner, why did that guy keep talking for so long?" Linton couldn't help but muttered as he was sitting in the car going back.
The person he was talking about for a long time was Director Daguan, the director of the Institute of Marine Ecosystem Preservation mentioned earlier. Even if it was just a spur of the moment, Linton said that if he wants to eat Baoshan Feilong Hotpot tonight, he must eat Baoshan Feilong Hotpot, so
After the previous call was restored, Linton directly contacted Ikari Yuantang and said that there was a price for his action.
Ikari Yuantang may still be a little panicked, but when he heard Linton say that the price was a lobster, it was obvious that even he was stunned for a long time and didn't know how to answer.
Of course, NERV still has this right, and Linton's request was naturally met. Since Misato Katsuragi still had to stay there to deal with follow-up matters, people from the Intelligence Ministry took Linton to the Institute of Marine Ecosystem Conservation.
Get paid.
Obviously Director Oseki here definitely disagrees. He felt strange about the sea bream thing last time. Apart from here, there are not many places where there is an environment for breeding marine life. What are you doing with the sea bream?
...Probably not for eating. But this time when he saw Linton's expression picking out the lobster, Director Ozeki suddenly seemed to understand, and he just had to ask, "How many pounds does the boss weigh?"
Director Oseki, who suddenly understood the situation, refused to obey. Of course, it was of no use. After all, it was Commander Ikari's order. So Linton soon got the dinner materials, and also took care of other things here.
Yes. Linton really listened to what he said about Katsuragi Misato's fish farm before. To Linton, this place is a large seafood market, or it is more convenient than a seafood market, with many varieties and no need to pay.
money.
"I'm back... um... why is the atmosphere so sad?" He opened the door happily while carrying the lobster, but a strong sense of sadness came from the room. There were no lights in the whole room, and Ayanami Rei stayed there.
Sitting blankly in the dark living room, he seemed to be in a daze.
Linton looked at the floor in the entrance hall. The shoes on the ground showed that Asuka had also come back, but she didn't see anyone. She was probably in the room, and she didn't react when she heard Linton came back.
"What's wrong? It can't be a quarrel, right?" Linton looked at Ayanami Rei and asked.
"..." Ayanami Rei here did not answer. Of course, this situation is considered normal for Ayanami Rei.
"Anyway, let's take care of this lobster first," Linton said, "I'll have Baoshan Feilong Hot Pot tonight."
Ayanami Rei stood up, took the lobster from Linton's hand, and walked to the kitchen silently.
"Hey, what's going on? You don't even turn on the light in the kitchen. Your cooking skills have reached the point where you can handle lobsters with your eyes closed. Are you ready to perform a touch typing show in front of me?" Linton followed and wanted to turn on the light, but
Just as her hand touched the switch, before she could turn it on, Ayanami Rei suddenly turned around and came to Linton in a daze.
"What's wrong?" Linton asked again.
"I... I don't know what to do, I just feel... uncomfortable." Ayanami Rei said, covering her chest.
"It's hard to be flattered by Xizi?" Linton asked, "So you were scolded by Ikari Yuantang for not being able to start Unit Zero just now?"
"No." Ayanami Rei shook her head.
"Oh, is that because he didn't scold you and felt that he was not needed, so he felt useless or something like that?" Linton asked.
"..." Ayanami Rei was silent again. Although Linton seemed to have said something,... what she cared about more was not this, but Asuka's necklace that she saw before. Yes, since seeing that necklace
, her mind has always been in a state of confusion and cannot calm down at all. This is the reason why she cannot drive EVA.
After that, she didn't seem to care too much whether Ikari Yuantang asked about her or other matters. Now she was very confused, always feeling that she had something to say to Linton, but
I don’t know where to start from.
"Don't think so much. After all, you are the only one besides me who can use magic. It is very important to NERV and Ikari Yuantang. It is not a big deal if you really can't drive EVA." Linton said,
"Be confident. In short, you are very important to Ikari Yuantang. Go and cook."
Linton also casually comforted him, is Ayanami Rei important to Ikari Yuantang? In fact, it is not important at all. To Ikari Yuantang, the only important person is his wife Yui, but Ayanami Rei doesn't know, and she shouldn't have it yet.
Understand this. Of course, she doesn't care whether Linton understands it or not. After all, he is just a cooking tool man. He can just trick the other party into cooking.
Originally, he just wanted to kill Ayanami Rei casually, and then Linton was going to check on Asuka. Of course, the main purpose was to observe whether Bengyu had any reaction. However, just when he turned around and wanted to leave, two hands
Suddenly Linton was hugged from behind. This sudden attack made Linton stunned for a moment.
"What about you?" Ayanami Rei's voice sounded.
"Huh?" Linton was indeed stunned for a moment.
"Am I important to you?" Ayanami Rei asked.
"..." This sudden situation made Linton a little confused about how to answer. To be honest, his first reaction was... it has none of his business. Originally, according to the plot, this guy shouldn't control the commander in the early stage, but he should control the commander in the later stage.
He controls the protagonist, so the current situation is... that he is entangled with himself? After thinking about it, it is true that originally this guy should be influenced by Shinji Ikari and gradually release his feelings, but because of his intervention, it seems that he has been spending too much time with the protagonist.
There is less, so I am more affected by myself?
Then this matter suddenly became a bit troublesome. Linton had no interest in this kind of 14-year-old girl. Although he usually calls me "wife, wife" when joking, this cannot be true. I'm not joking,
The food Ayanami Rei cooks is more attractive than her person, to Linton.
But the current problem is not simply a question of whether to explain it clearly. Linton really needs Ayanami Rei, mainly for cooking. This is where the trouble lies. If he can just break up with her, then
It seems that my hard work in cultivating a cooking tool person was in vain, but if he doesn't explain it clearly, it is not in line with Linton's usual character.
After thinking for a moment, Linton turned around, looked at Ayanami Rei who seemed to be looking forward to it, and directly covered the other person's head with one hand. This was also his recent habit, and Ayanami Rei was here.
When he felt a little relieved, Linton said, "Have you heard our family's motto?"
"Um?"
"Longing is the emotion furthest from understanding." Linton said, "You... don't understand anything at all..."
"Huh?" Ayanami Rei was shocked.
"When you have an unexplained admiration for a person without knowing him at all, you..." Before Linton could finish his words, there was a "dong" sound next to him, and the door of his house was knocked open.
"Here I come!" The voice was obviously Misato Katsuragi's. Linton turned around, and the other party received a full dozen beers this time, six bottles in one hand. No wonder she just kicked the door down. Of course, this guy did
You're not polite, I always come in so directly.
"I heard that tonight... that... um..." Misato Katsuragi's voice became smaller and smaller, because after seeing clearly the situation in the living room, she was keenly aware that something was wrong with the atmosphere.
Looking at Linton and Rei Ayanami, who were facing each other, Misato Katsuragi's expression changed for a while, then she silently put down the beer she was carrying and took out her phone...
"Hey, is it useful to call the police here?" Linton asked, holding his forehead.
"Ah...I almost forgot that all the people have been evacuated and haven't come back yet." Misato Katsuragi said, then she slammed the table, "Even if there are no police, you are not allowed to mess around!"
"You really need to call the police!" Linton shouted.
"We agreed to attack me first before attacking her?" Misato Katsuragi yelled.
"Look at this posture, who is the one being attacked?" Linton also yelled.
"..." These words are quite convincing, because it can be roughly seen that it is Linton who is being hugged by Ayanami Rei here, but Linton is not touching Ayanami Rei's head. Katsuragi Misato
He also yelled directly, "I don't care who attacks whom, you are an adult..."
"It's so noisy!" Halfway through the words, the door to the room next to her opened directly. Asuka yelled at the three of them with an unhappy look on her face, "Can't you just be a little quieter?"
"So there is still someone here? Are you so bold that you dare to attack even if someone is here?" Misato Katsuragi said.
"Huh? What do you, a perverted demon magician, want to do?" Asuka also looked at the situation and said suddenly.
"How big can my nickname be?" Linton held up his forehead, "Anyway, I don't want to do anything. Can I have a normal dinner?"
"No, we can't pretend that nothing happened." Misato Katsuragi said, "From today on, Rei-chan must live at my place."
"No problem, I really haven't done anything, so I have nothing to refuse," Linton said.
"I refuse!" Rei Ayanami said directly.
"Are you determined to attack me at night?" Linton shouted.
"So...what does night attack mean?" Ayanami Rei probably realized that this did not mean fighting at night.
"I don't agree!" Katsuragi Misato also yelled.
"What are these two doing? I really can't stand you." Asuka held her forehead and said, "Forget it, I won't have dinner. Don't call me. Leave me alone."
"What happened to her?" Misato Katsuragi noticed Asuka's change in mood and asked.
"How do I know? Children are trouble," Linton said.
