The third new Tokyo city, a business district.

"Miaoha, I'm so lucky to let Jiaji-san go shopping with me~" Asuka looked in a good mood.

"What, what? This is not a swimsuit counter." Jiaji turned out to be troubled.

"Hey, how about this?" Asuka took out a swimsuit. Split style, red and white stripes, very characteristic of Asuka.

Kaji feels a little embarrassed. "This middle school student is too early to wear it, right?"

As the guardian of Asuka. He felt something wrong.

"Yo! Blessing" Liu Ling, who was shopping happily, saw the familiar ponytail and blue shirt, and said hello. "Alara? Your princess is there too?"

"Oh, Mr. Liu Ling" Asuka had a good impression of Liu Ling, so she reluctantly greeted her, but looked at the somewhat stiff smile. I knew she didn't really want someone to come in now.

"Well, a very attractive choice, swimsuit." Liu Ling touted Asuka's taste-although this kind of swimsuit seemed to him nothing special, "Then I won't bother you two, goodbye~"

Just left so lightly.

"Uh, uh ha ha, it's rare that Liu Ling feels good too, so buy it." I don't know if Jia Chi remembered the fear of shopping with Miri, his attitude suddenly reversed.

"Yeah, it's normal for girls to wear this kind of swimsuit now?" Asuka agreed.

But having said that, the relationship between these two people is really good, just like a real father and daughter.

Why would Asuka suddenly want to buy swimwear? This question is not just that Bhachi wants to know, there must be many people who have doubts about it at this time.

Restaurant contracted by NERV, with outdoor seating.

"Thick—it turned out to be a school trip." Jiaji finally figured out the truth.

There is a school-sponsored trip at the end of each semester. The neon school is really enviable.

"This is a rare opportunity, we must have a good time!" Asuka replied.

"So, where are you going to play?"

"Okinawa-rope! For three days" Asuka replied word by word as if showing off, "Scuba diving is also on the scheduled schedule!"

"Oh, what about scuba diving" Jiaji looked nostalgic. "It's been three years."

"By the way, where did Kaji-sang go on a school trip?"

"Um, we didn't have that kind of activity at that time." Jiachi said frankly.

That's right. At that time, everyone was busy with the reconstruction and revival after the second impact. How could there be time and place to do "study trips".

At night, Shinji & Asuka House.

Penpen is really happy to "Ge You Piao" in the bathtub.

then. It was startled by the sudden whine of the girl.

"Huh?! Can't go on a school trip?"

Sure enough, I had a bad feeling when I learned that the content of the school leave was so rich. Shinji sighed and lowered his head.

"Yes." Misato took a sip of beer. "We must be alert to the invasion of the apostles—they don't care about ‘study trip’ or something."

"I have never heard of such a thing!"

"I told you now." Mili had a tricky smile on her face.

"Who made it!"

"I stipulate it, because I am the person in charge of operations."

"Suck—" Shinji drank tea calmly.

#`O') You, don't sit here and have tea and say something!" Asuka decided to recruit a teammate (boyfriend) to oppose the decision to oppress the driver.

"Yeah, but I thought it would be like this a long time ago." Shinji looked innocent. "Because I thought the content of this school trip was too rich at the time."

"So you gave up your heart a long time ago, right?"

Nodding, nodding.

"It's really useless, the docile man is the most unbearable." Asuka spread her hands.

But this "docile man" is your boyfriend? Miri looked at her jokingly.

"Don't say such things." Zhenzhi protested from the weak.

"Snapped". Misato put down the beer in her hand (how come you haven't finished drinking yet)

"I understand your feelings, but this is no way." Misato said sternly. "You can't let Liu Ling deal with the apostle alone, right?"

"I think it's pretty good." Asuka.

"I don't think there is a problem." Shinji.

"You two"

"Always on standby, on standby, on standby, on standby! Always waiting for the apostle who doesn't know when he will come!" Asuka broke out, "It's not as good as Kid in "The Detective * South", he has to give an announcement before he comes. Great!"

Penpen skilfully wiped himself dry with bath towels, and then passed through the large and small bags Asuka prepared for the school leave.

"Occasionally, take the initiative to find the enemy's location and kill them, isn't it?

Misato smiled bitterly.

Liu Ling also said this sentence-but there is something else behind.

"But judging from the records of each discovery of the apostles, they seem to have appeared out of thin air-do you think someone released them deliberately, using means beyond our imagination?"

Later Ritsuko started crazy research on this technique. So far, he has not found a hiding place for the apostle or a technology that can make such a massive object appear instantly.

"If it could be done, we would have done it a long time ago." Then. Misato's words turned, "This is also a good opportunity, isn't it? Staying at NERV at this time is equivalent to giving the two of you a chance to be alone?"

Misato's expression is like a humanoid "funny" (Of course Asuka and Shinji don't know this expression), she seems to want people to beat her.

Asuka and Shinji steamed themselves again.

————————————————————————————————————————————

Boom-the passenger plane finally rose to the sky.

"Now. I said, Ayanami, are you really okay if you don't go?" Liu Ling asked, looking at the passenger plane going away.

"Well, because Ikura is here." Ayanami stretched out her hand to trap the hair that was flying due to the wind, and pressed it to her ear. The skirt of the school uniform swayed in the wind.

It seems that their relationship is heating up very quickly.

In the end, because of Ayanami and Liu Ling's request, the two of them stayed on standby, and Shinji and Asuka were able to take part in the suspension trip as they wished.
