Ikari Shenzi did not know what he was thinking. Why did he agree to it? Was this not the trouble he was most afraid of? Why did he agree to be their tour guide?
After all, he was still a student and had to go to school … Well, because of his identity, no matter if it was him, Asuka, or Ling Boli, the three of them did not have to come to school. This was a direct order from Nerv. It did not matter if the three of them came to school or not. However, this was not the reason why he agreed to Roger's request! It was as if … as if Roger had a strange aura that made people involuntarily agree with him and unable to refute him … Or was it because he was too cowardly?
"Uncle Roger, I only took two days off because I couldn't get in touch with my father, so I couldn't take more days off. So, in these two days …"
Ikari Shenzi said to Roger a little timidly. Roger looked at everything on the street with interest. This attitude made Ikari Shenzi sigh, but he did not dare to say anything more.
Through the Soul Chain, Ah Xing's voice was transmitted to the minds of everyone in the Atlantis team.
"… I heard from Ikari Shenzi that Asuka just moved into his house. Based on the time, if the main body of this world is the new movie version, then Ikari Shenzi is now on the Moon. Speaking of which, this is the time when Nerv is at its weakest …"
While walking on the street, Ikari Shenzi briefly explained the names of the streets and the functions of the various buildings. Of course, he did not know how to introduce them. He was not a proper tour guide. Moreover, Roger would pat him on the shoulder from time to time as if they were familiar with each other, which made him feel very uncomfortable. Therefore, it was not much different for him to explain and be a tour guide.
"That leads to …"
While Ikari Shenzi was still explaining meaningless things, Roger suddenly patted him on the shoulder and said, "It's noon, let's have lunch together."
Ikari Shenzi rubbed his shoulder and did not dare to say anything. He replied, "Mm, okay, I brought food too …" Before he could finish his sentence, the lunchbox he took out from his bag was taken away by Roger.
Roger opened the lunchbox and looked at it. He then laughed and stuffed the lunchbox back into Ikari Shenzi's bag. He then said, "Thank you for being our tour guide. I would like to treat you to a meal. The food we brought with us will definitely be delicious. Also, the ingredients are very precious. Consider it our return gift, hahaha."
Ikari Shenzi quickly and politely said, "No, Mr. Roger, actually …"
"Mm? What do you want to say? "Roger looked at Ikari Shenzi.
Anshi Zhensi immediately shuddered. He didn't know why, but he just couldn't refuse. He could only nod his head in agreement …
"Shenzi Shenzi Shenzi" Ah Shenzi Shenzi Shing's, and Shenzi Shenzi's,, and Shenzi Shenzi...
Roger laughed and directly skipped the topic. He then led the group to a small park nearby and sat down on the lawn.
Ikari Shenzi was also a little curious about what this group of people wanted to eat. He was a coward, but it did not mean that he was a fool. Such a group of people suddenly appeared around him and forced him to be their guide. They also looked unfamiliar with New Tokyo. Of course, inexplicably, he could feel Roger's kindness towards him. This was very rare. It was not that people who showed kindness to him were rare, but it was rare for him to feel it because he had always tried to use indifference to isolate himself from the outside world and did not want to feel the outside world. At this time, he could feel Roger's kindness towards him, which was really incredible.
Just as Ikari Shenzi was thinking about something, he looked strangely at a woman in Roger's team. She kept taking out ingredients from a bag that did not look big. No matter how he looked at it, the volume of these ingredients should be bigger than the bag …
But … ingredients?
"Wait, Mr. Roger, don't tell me you want to start a fire here? It's forbidden here … "Ikari Shenzi immediately said, but he seemed to have said it too late. He saw Roger take out a big pot, a shelf, and some tableware, and then lit a fire on the shelf … Speaking of which, Ikari Shenzi did not see where Roger took out so many things. This group of people did not bring any luggage or anything like that.
The woman who took out the ingredients cut the vegetables, organized them, and cooked at an amazing speed. Ikari Shenzi thought he was watching a movie. In just a few minutes, a shelf of delicious food was ready. Just the smell made Ikari Shenzi drool. Although he just glanced at it, he was sure that he saw a lot of ingredients that he had never heard of or that only appeared in textbooks. For example, there was a kind of meat that looked like beef, but it seemed to be very similar to the whale meat he had seen in books …
"Don't look at it, this is indeed whale meat, and it's the most tender part. I heard that you Japanese like to eat whale meat, and whales are extinct, so I specially … bought some Basilosaurus meat. I'm very good at cooking, try it," the woman said to Ikari Shenzi with a smile.
The woman's age seemed to be about the same as Miss Miri's. Her appearance was ordinary, and there were a few freckles on her face, but her smile was very gentle, like a big sister next door. Ikari Shenzi's originally tense mood relaxed slightly. At the same time, he naturally took the chopsticks and bowl the woman handed to him.
Although the woman said that Japanese liked to eat whales, when he was born, there were no whales in this world. Maybe there were still some, but they were definitely not edible, so he picked up the whale meat with his chopsticks. The woman's cooking method was braised whale meat. When Ikari Shenzi ate it, a fresh taste immediately spread. The meat was fresh and tender, and all kinds of flavors exploded on his tongue. He almost swallowed his tongue. It was much better than the food he made himself, no, it was ten thousand times better. He couldn't help but pick up another piece of whale meat.
"And this, and this, this is also not bad, it's specially bought … Eye Demon's brain pulp. Using this soup method to make it, the taste is especially fragrant and rich," the woman smiled as she watched Ikari Shenzi eat. She picked up more for him and said gently.
"Eye Demon?" Ikari Shenzi muttered curiously. Ah Xing, who was beside him, shook his head and then glared at Roger fiercely.
"Indeed, like captain, like member. Even a newbie who has just joined the team for two horror movies has been led astray. Why do you have to say Eye Demon's brain pulp? Just say it's a normal pig's brain or cow's brain, even if it's Roger's brain, it's not bad! Eye Demon, why don't you say Dungeons and Dragons! " Ah Xing lamented in the Mind Chain. Other than two members, the rest of the team members showed a sympathetic expression.
Ikari Shenzi did not pay too much attention to it. Firstly, the food was too delicious. Secondly, he thought he had misheard. He was the type who was most afraid of troubling others and did not want others to trouble him. To put it simply, he was the type who rejected the outside world. Therefore, he began to eat silently. However, he was in a good mood now, so he would occasionally discuss the cooking and ingredients of the food with the woman.
At this moment, Roger, whose mouth was stuffed with food, suddenly muttered, "Speaking of which, Ikari Shenzi, why did you drive the EVA?"
Ikari Shenzi was stunned for a moment. Although the fact that he drove the EVA was not considered a secret, and many people in the school knew about it. Moreover, many people had seen the EVA up close. However, when he was asked, he did not know what to say for a moment. Just like that, he chewed his food and said after a long time, "I … If I don't drive, I can't, right?"
"Is that so …" Roger swallowed his food and drank a mouthful of wine before saying, "Because if you don't drive … the last and only tie to your father is gone, right?"
Ikari Shenzi silently put down his bowl and chopsticks. The woman beside him suddenly showed pity in her eyes. She turned to Roger and said, "Captain, you're doing it again …"
Roger scratched his head. He suddenly patted Ikari Shenzi's shoulder and said, "I'm not blaming you. Actually, I think … this is not bad."
Ikari Shenzi immediately looked at Roger. Roger took a big gulp of wine and exhaled. He looked at the sky and said, "Some people fight to survive. Some fight for benefits. Some fight for honor. Some fight to protect the people or things that are most important to them. Your fight … In order to make your father recognize your efforts, you risked your life to fight. This is not bad, but …"
"But?" Ikari Shenzi's frown loosened. He felt a bit happy, as if he was being recognized. However, when he heard the last part, his heart tightened.
Roger scratched his head again and laughed, "No, it's nothing. Let's eat first. These ingredients can't be bought. If you don't eat, we will all eat."
"Okay!" Although Ikari Shenzi didn't hear what he wanted to hear, or what he didn't want to hear, he was still quite happy at the moment. For the sake of this group of people he had just met, for the sake of this helpless uncle, for the sake of this meal, or perhaps for the fact that his actions seemed to have been acknowledged by others … He felt that being a tour guide today wasn't a bad thing.
On the other hand, Roger and Ah Xing both knew what the latter part of the sentence was …
However, when you know that your father did not care about your efforts or any ties to you, he only treated you as a tool …
What would your heart do?
