In the morning, start with a sentence from Fang Zheng.

"Shinji, it's almost your birthday."

"Why?"

Shinji Ikari, who was serving the meal, couldn't help but be startled when he heard Fang Zheng's words. He was so exhausted that he couldn't remember the date of his birthday. It would be great if he could remember who he was.

"Yeah?"

"That's right, June 6th."

Fang Zheng confirmed that he must have remembered correctly.

"It's the day after tomorrow, how about it? What birthday present are you going to get?"

"This, this is not good..."

Shinji Ikari, who had already gained some masculinity under Fang Zheng's training, actually felt a little embarrassed when he heard this.

"It's just my birthday after all..."

"What does it matter? It's rare for everyone to live together, so it's appropriate to celebrate your birthday."

Fangzheng didn't take Shinji's refusal seriously. Maybe in Japan, Europe and the United States, birthdays are personal privacy. But in mainland China, there is no privacy in birthdays. I remember when I was in elementary school and junior high school, someone in the class had a birthday.

On birthdays, everyone spends money to buy a cake together and then has a great time. We don’t care about birthday gifts or anything else, it’s just cake batter and everyone has fun with each other.

Of course, rich students will also ask their parents to set up a few private rooms and invite their classmates to have a meal. Those who don’t have money don’t care, just having fun and making noise in the class will make them happy. At least in many cases, this is better than simply staying at home.

It would be much more fun to hold a birthday party for you.

There is no such custom in Japan, and Fang Zheng is not a class teacher, but it would be nice to have a birthday party at home to celebrate.

Of course, it also depends on the time and date. Just like the little girls in the Tiandao Palace, if they really count their birthdays, then there are 365 days in a year, and they may have birthdays every day.

Not enough...

"Forget it, mother-in-law. We have defeated the apostles so many times. We should have a celebration party long ago. It happens to be your birthday, so it is convenient to get together. By the way, you also have friends in the class. You can invite a few that you get along with.

Friends come together, since it’s a party, then naturally the more people there, the more convenient it is, what do you think?”

"I agree!"

Asuka, who likes liveliness, was naturally the first to agree.

"Originally, we were going to have a celebration party after we defeated the apostles, but it never happened... I even doubted that the Japanese don't know how to hold parties at all! What do you think? The first qualified person?"

"I don't eat meat."

Ayanami Rei expressed her attitude in just four words.

"How can you not eat meat? It's just because you don't eat meat that you can't grow up!"

Since joining this big family, Asuka has been on the same side as Fang Zheng and has never tired of tempting Ayanami Rei to eat meat.

"Fangzheng, how about we eat the roasted whole lamb you mentioned this time?"

"I'm afraid I can't find the roasted whole lamb, but the roasted suckling pig is fine..."

Fangzheng was also helpless. After the second impact, the world's environment changed drastically. It was summer all year round. You can imagine how many animals died in this abnormal weather. Sheep in Japan were not popular in the first place. He wanted to buy mutton now.

I couldn't get it, so I had no choice but to make do with roasted suckling pig.

If you really can't, it's actually not bad to be a beggar chicken.

Having said that the job was offered, Shinji Ikari would naturally not refuse, so the matter was settled. Who they would invite next depends on them.

After arriving at Nerv, Founder also invited Misato Katsuragi, but...

"I'll forget it. I'm afraid that kid won't be particularly happy to see me."

Regarding Fang Zheng's invitation, Katsuragi Misato hesitated again and again, and finally refused. Ever since Ikari Shinji moved out from her place, the atmosphere between the two has been somewhat awkward. Fortunately, Ikari Shinji is now under Fang Zheng's control, and Katsuragi Misato

We don't have much time to meet each other, so it's not a big deal. But this time, after all, the other person is the birthday girl, and I have to go... It's inevitable that I feel a little embarrassed.

but…………

"You can say the day after tomorrow...wait a minute, I'm afraid it won't work that day, and you won't be able to go either."

"Huh? What's going on?"

"The news I just received from Ritsuko is that the EVA Unit 3 will be shipped from the United States the day after tomorrow, and you will also be responsible for receiving it."

"Unit 3?"

Hearing Katsuragi Misato's words, Fangzheng couldn't help but be startled.

"Have you identified the driver?"

"No."

"Then what should I do?"

Fang Zheng's responsibility is to manage the driver. Without the driver, EVA is just a big iron frame to him. What does it have to do with him?

"Because there was something wrong with the American branch, the No. 4 machine was blown up together with the North American branch, so they wanted to send the No. 3 machine here in advance, and... It has not been determined yet.

The pilot of Unit 4 is tentatively decided to be Asuka."

"Asuka has Unit 2, doesn't she? She doesn't know how to clone."

"No way, this is a deal made by Germany, and we are just following orders."

"Oh I got it."

Hearing what Misato Katsuragi meant, Fang Zheng immediately understood what she meant.

To put it bluntly, it is actually very simple. Originally, the No. 3 aircraft was made in North America and the ownership rights were in the United States. But now, Germany wants to get the No. 3 aircraft. They also want to master two EVAs at the same time like Japan. But Germany obviously does not

There are no spare drivers, so what should we do?

It's very simple, that is to seal Unit 2 and let the pilot of Unit 2 drive Unit 3.

Because the ownership of Unit 2 originally belongs to Germany, so as long as Germany does not relent, no one else can use Unit 2. And Asuka herself is German. If she controls Unit 3, she will actually control Unit 3.

Unit 3 was integrated into the German camp.

In this way, Germany can get North American EVA without spending a penny... It can be called a model of a white wolf with empty hands.

The only troublesome thing is that the procedure of transferring the left hand to the right hand is a little troublesome.

But for Fang Zheng...

"You told me this because you wanted me to convince Asuka."

"That's right."

Looking at Fang Zheng in front of her, Katsuragi Misato also chuckled.

"This is your job, I leave it to you."

"Why………"

After hearing Katsuragi Misato's answer, Fangzheng sighed helplessly.

This is really a problem.

Based on Fang Zheng's understanding of Asuka, after hearing the news, she will definitely accept it happily... What a ghost!

"Why do you want to seal my No. 2 machine?"

Sure enough, when she heard the news brought by Fang Zheng while having dinner that night, Asuka exploded on the spot.

"Why don't we just let idiot Shinji and the first qualified person come in!?"

"It's useless for you to tell me, after all, the decision has been made from above..."

Fang Zheng was naturally mentally prepared for Asuka's blow, so the moment Asuka opened her mouth, he quickly picked up a piece of meat with chopsticks and stuffed it into Asuka's mouth, blocking her next complaint.

Asuka also chewed the meat in her mouth viciously, looking as if she was about to pull out the bones from cramps.

"My lord, you are so ugly!"

Faced with Asuka's complaints, Ayanami Rei ate her food silently. On the contrary, Ikari Shinji looked at this and that with some hesitation.

"Um, Mr. Fangzheng, in this case..."

"I will go to Matsushiro with Asuka to conduct the start-up test of Unit 3. If everything goes well, we should be able to come back in the evening. You can continue to prepare. You will definitely be able to make it in time."

Although she was extremely reluctant, Asuka didn't say anything because Fang Zheng was willing to accompany her. On the morning of the third day, the two of them immediately drove to Matsushiro.

"Unit 3 is really ugly!"

Looking at the black Unit 3 nailed to the cross, Asuka couldn't help but complain. At the same time, she glanced at her pilot suit and her face turned slightly red.

"And this driving uniform is also... ugly enough..."

"Maybe the designer himself is a pervert."

Fang Zheng looked at Asuka's driving uniform and then shook his head.

"So………"

"Wait, I'll go with you."

"Why?"

Hearing Fang Zheng's words, Asuka was stunned for a moment, but she didn't say anything more. She just turned around and walked into the elevator silently. Soon, the elevator door closed and began to rise slowly.

"...To be honest, I never thought that I would live with others."

Looking at the gradually rising scenery outside, Asuka suddenly spoke.

"Yeah?"

"That's right, isn't it tiring to cooperate with other people's emotions? I obviously hate this kind of situation, but once I lose my face, I will be accused by adults of 'Why is this child so disobedient?' etc... But I

Why do you have to be obedient!"

Saying this, Asuka clenched her fists.
