The Collection of The End

——2015.8.28——】

Third New Tokyo City, bustling street.

Today Rei Ayanami is wearing a kimono with aqua blue background and red lace, dignified and calm, Asuka is wearing a pure black background with gold decoration, noble and arrogant, and Kirishima's real name is pink and white, green and cute.

As for Shinji Ikari himself, he has black lines on a purple background, faintly revealing the meaning of killing.

"I'm sorry, Shinji Ikari, our 'Festival Stall Federation' has reached an agreement to permanently refuse your visit." The fat owner of the dart throwing stall shook his head at Shinji Ikari.

What a strange organization that is! And how did you recognize me?

The fat boss may also think this is a bit strange, so he added: "To be precise, if a boy with black hair and black eyes is surrounded by a girl with long brown hair and green eyes, short blue hair and red eyes, or short brown hair and blue eyes, , we will refuse to do business with him."

"..." Shinji Ikari turned his head and looked at his companions. Okay, everything is fine.

"Of course, if you firmly refuse to admit that you are Shinji Ikari, we will also..."

"No, that's right, it's down there."

Shinji Ikari raised his hand to stop him from continuing and turned back to his companions.

What is being held now is the last of the three festivals, the fireworks display. People who have worked at the previous two festivals are almost replicating them in order to make another profit, making the streets more lively than ever.

But the problem is that Shinji Ikari's reputation for killing people as long as he participates in game stalls has spread, and the result is like this. If nothing else, he catches goldfish, water balloons, rings, throws balls, and throws darts. Stalls like this will never accept me anymore.

As for the name... With Asuka's big mouth, do you still expect it to be kept secret?

"No, it's okay, Shinji-san, if you can't play, you can still eat," Kirishima's real name tried to comfort him: "Look, there are fried noodles, octopus balls, taiyaki, marshmallows, apple candies, kori Cake…um.”

This classmate, please stop talking.

"This kind of thing is natural," Asuka said: "They have to make money in business. Your skills are so good that they can't make money. It's like trying to run away after winning in a casino. You want to be removed. For the arm.”

Can I ask what projects you have been involved in in Germany?

"As long as you are willing to spend money, you will not be rejected." Rei Ayanami said with unclear meaning.

"Hey...whatever, let's not play games, just stroll around and wait to watch the fireworks," Shinji Ikari scratched his head and looked at the stall next to him: "Anyway, since it's a fireworks display, let's buy a mask to wear first. , Sister Misato gave me a lot of pocket money, this time I invite you, what do you want?"

"Hmm...monkey or dog?" "I, I want a bunny, ah no, a kitten." Asuka and Kirishima were hesitant.

"Ultraman." Rei Ayanami said.

"..." Shinji Ikari froze when he reached for the fox mask.

——

"Let me ask you, do you think this scene seems familiar?" The smiling fox hid on the corner of the street and whispered.

"Hmph, your guardian is here to seduce my guardian again." The monkey grunted.

"No, not necessarily. Didn't Mr. Kaji go with Dr. Akagi last time?" Mao Mao disagreed.

"Capsized." Ultraman said concisely.

At the third festival, Shinji Ikari and the others did not directly see acquaintances dating. What they saw was Misato Katsuragi, wearing a light green kimono, looking around as she walked. If everyone hadn't been wearing masks, they would have been discovered.

"I remember that both Misato Katsuragi and Dr. Akagi have no work to do today... Hehe," Asuka chuckled softly: "When the market opens, did Captain Katsuragi bump into Mr. Kaji and go on a date with Dr. Akagi, or did he go on a date with Mr. Kaji and be raped by Dr. Akagi?" If you hit it, buy it and leave it."

You also said you don’t have a side job in Germany?

"I won't participate." Rei Ayanami spoke first.

"Well, I think it should be the latter." Kirishima said by his real name.

"Then I'll beat the former," Asuka raised her hand to poke Shinji Ikari: "What do you think?"

"Hmm..." Shinji Ikari originally wanted to guess just one, but suddenly he had a very strong sense of déjà vu at the scene in front of him: "I think it's neither."

"Aren't you bound to lose? Is there a fourth person?" Asuka said with confusion. She looked up and saw Katsuragi Misato had walked away, "Quick, keep up."

Really, every festival will be followed by someone, how many times has it been...

——

"Damn it! Lost! How could this happen!" Asuka punched the wall with hatred.

"Where's Mr. Kaji?" Kirishima's real name sounded confused.

On the other side of the corner in front were Misato Katsuragi, who was wearing an emerald green kimono, and Ritsuko Akagi, who was wearing a rose kimono. They were walking side by side while laughing and talking, but Ryoharu Kaji didn't even show up.

"Water can carry a boat, but it can also overturn it." Rei Ayanami said.

No, that's not what it means, right? Although it does have the meaning of "causing the boat", it turns out that the "Information Integrated Thought Body" is illiterate?

"Hmph... Okay, I'm willing to admit defeat," Asuka lifted her mask and looked at Shinji Ikari: "But we didn't agree on the bet before, you can raise it now. If it's too much, be careful that I default on it."

So what is the standard of excessiveness? Are you ready to default on your debt?

"Okay then, my request is-"

Bang——!

Snapped! Bang bang!

At this moment, a huge golden firework exploded in the sky, then red, green, blue, spherical, scattered, ring-shaped, flowers, all kinds of fireworks bloomed one after another, almost turning the night sky into day.

At this time, all the visitors at the festival subconsciously stopped to watch, while Misato Katsuragi and Ritsuko Akagi, who had already walked away, were already holding hands.

"————!"

Even when she couldn't hear anything clearly, Asuka was still yelling at Shinji Ikari. Judging from the shape of her mouth, she should be...

Literary Society.

"Damn it! What was the request you made at that time!" Asuka slapped a photo of the fireworks show on the table and looked at Shinji Ikari angrily: "Don't think you can just make it casually if I don't hear it. I reserve the right to default on it at any time. that power!"

That kind of thing has been there since the beginning, right?

"I will tell you about that kind of thing when I remember it." Shinji Ikari selected a few beautiful photos and put them away.

"Well, I don't think Shinji-san will make excessive demands." Kirishima Mana, also a loser, interjected weakly.

"You look like this, you're just afraid that you'll be sold out and you'll help count the money!" Asuka turned around and glared at her fiercely.

"No..." "You..."

"Well, Ayanami?" Shinji Ikari approached Ayanami Rei: "Do you know when the next apostle will attack? No, actually I don't really want to know, I just feel that if this peaceful scene can last for a while longer Enough."

"OK."

The gathering garden, the swimming pool.

Wearing a goose-yellow one-piece swimsuit, Rei Ayanami sat by the pool and stared at the water in a daze.

"Um...Ayanami-san? Do you want some oolong tea?" Kirishima's real name came over hesitantly.

"Yes." Rei Ayanami took the can of oolong tea from Kirishima Mana.

"Great, I was worried..." Kirishima said his real name midway, his foot slipped and he fell into the swimming pool with a thud.

"..." Rei Ayanami reached out and grabbed her flailing arm and pulled her up: "Don't worry."
