The Collection of The End - Chapter 2009

【—2015.8.17—】

Third New Tokyo City, by the sea.

“I defeated one apostle at sea first, and then another at sea!”

With big sunglasses on her face, wearing a red striped T-shirt and light blue cropped pants, Asuka pointed to the beach ahead and announced loudly:

“Then, as a conqueror, it is very incorrect that you can’t go to the beach in summer!”

Is it weird?

Ikari Shinji, wearing a white T-shirt and beach pants, complained silently beside him.

I don’t know who it was. After watching the fire-off at the Obon Festival, I was eager to go camping in the mountains, but I was choked by the ashes that were not cleaned up, and the camping equipment I prepared couldn’t be wasted, so I decided to When I came to the beach, I bought a new swimsuit on the way, but I didn’t notice that Kirishima’s real name and Ayanami Rei didn’t go to buy together.

Now, do you dare to look at the dark red water and say it again, you are going to swim?

Due to the impact of the second shock, the seawater all over the world has turned reddish. Although the composition is harmless and the fish are not affected, for humans whose vision accounts for 80% of the senses, this color is too similar to their own blood. The liquids are completely inaccessible, and no one will use them even for non-drinking water without multiple filtering them and using chemicals to get them back to blue.

Looking at the entire beach nearby, there are only twos and threes of tourists walking by the seaside, and none of them make a special trip to play. Thinking about it, I know that every time the apostles landed from the sea, even if they didn’t pass by this beach a few times before, they would not be able to. Doesn’t mean it won’t happen next time.

“We should play… uh…” Asuka was a little out of words.

“That…” Kirishima’s real name, wearing a blue denim skirt, took out an inflatable beach volleyball and a pump from her backpack: “Even if you can’t go into the water, there are things you can play on the beach, and, near the sea, The home is also open, and if you are tired, you can go to eat seafood.”

Is this the strength of a senior agent of the Earth Alliance? Always be aware of the needs of the team and observe the available environment around you.

“I don’t play.” Ling Ayanami, who was still in her school uniform, said casually while sitting on the coastal stone pier.

“…” Kirishima’s true name looked at Shinji Ikari pitifully while holding the inflated ball.

“I’ll accompany her, go and play with Asuka.” Shinji Ikari shook his head.

Kirishima’s real name looked at the two of them, nodded lightly, and walked towards Asuka who was not coming to Taiwan.

“What, leave them alone, let’s play.” “But…” “Let’s go.”

“This time, Asuka is messing around, don’t worry about her,” Shinji Ikari walked over to Ayanami Rei and sat down. “I just thought that since the apostles are all from the sea, you must be uncomfortable approaching the sea.”

“Not necessarily,” Ling Ling said, “As long as it is life, it is possible to become an apostle, but the evolution in the sea is faster.”

“That is to say, if you touch the sea water, it may cause the apostles to appear earlier?” Ikari Shinji looked at the red sea that caused some waves.

“No,” Ayanami shook her head, “I just don’t like the sea.”

“It’s rare to hear you express your likes and dislikes outright. No wonder you didn’t want to go when you took plane number 2,” Shinji Ikari smiled, “Okay, I understand, then I’ll try my best not to let you deal with the apostles by the sea or in the sea. .”

“Yeah.” Ling Ling responded, then got up and walked towards the beach.

“Hey, wait, I didn’t mean to make you reluctant this time.” Ikari Shinji hurriedly chased after him.

“Not reluctantly.” After Ayanami replied simply, she walked to a place where it was still damp, but the waves couldn’t reach it, and began to build a sand castle.

“Um…” Ikari Shinji looked at her movements and found that there was absolutely no way to help without a blueprint, so he turned to Kirishima’s real name and asked for a bucket and a shovel to help her.

Originally, I just had the intention of giving it a try, but it turned out to be really coming—as expected of a future senior agent.

“This is… the third New Tokyo City?” After helping Rei Ayanami to build a sand castle, Shinji Ikari finally saw what the calf-high sand castle she built was. It’s exactly the same when you look down from a high place and get the card “Skyscraper”.

“Yes.” Ayanami replied while sculpting high-rise buildings.

Although the sand castle couldn’t make things too detailed, Ikari Shinji could still roughly see the shapes of the streets, shops, trees and vehicles, and Rei Ayanami even carefully pressed out the windows of the building with his fingernails.

This sandcastle city…how should I put it, although it is exquisite, and it is enough to restore, it looks like a three-dimensional modeling of a computer. It is not as full of innocence and imagination as the sandcastle made by real children. It seems-

“No soul?” Ayanami asked.

Can you do whatever you want with a high synchronization rate? …seems to be ok.

“Cough, this is just a sand castle, the requirements don’t have to be so high,” Ikari Shinji tried to smooth the game: “If there is a sand castle competition, it must be the first place.”

“and then?”

“What…then?”

“It’s after winning the competition.”

No, there’s no such award, right?

“Even if the competition wins, it’s just a sandcastle on the beach. No one will take it away and keep it well. In fact, when the water in the sand evaporates, it will collapse on its own,” Ayanami said.

“Well…” I always felt that there were some very serious philosophical issues in these words, and Shinji Ikari didn’t know how to answer for a while.

“So,” Ayanami continued, “instead of waiting for it to crumble into meaningless grains of sand, or to be submerged by the rising tide, I might as well destroy it with my own hands, and at least until it disappears, it is still a beautiful and beautiful building. An award-winning sandcastle.”

…It seems to make sense and something is not quite right.

“Huh? Is this the third new Tokyo city? It’s pretty—”

Bang!

Before Kirishima’s real name praised him, Rei Ayanami raised his hand expressionlessly and interrupted all the tall buildings in the “Third New Tokyo City”, and then destroyed its foundation with both feet.

“Ugh…” Kirishima’s real name knelt on the ground with soft legs, tears flashing in her eyes, and it seemed that she was about to cry.

Ah, I remembered that the “real name of Kirishima in the future” came to find “the real name of Kirishima now” after the “third shock” occurred. The picture of the second shock should be provided.

Shouldn’t – Ikari Shinji look at the wreckage of the sandcastle – it’s the same?

Department of Literature.

“Ha, look what I found?” Asuka picked out a photo: “A photo of someone crying because a sandcastle was destroyed~should be enlarged and posted on the wall~”

“Please, please give me back—”

“I said Ayanami,” Shinji Ikari looked at the farce over there and quietly asked Lingami, “When is the next apostle attack?”

“Do you want the apostles to attack immediately, or let them wait?”

“what?”

“can not.”

“Uh, delay if you can, Kirishima’s trauma needs time to heal.”

“Okay.”

Gathering Garden, Swimming Pool.

Bang! Pasha—

Ayanami, wearing a purple one-piece swimsuit, jumped off the ten-meter platform, a little underwhelmed, and looked like a depth bomb had exploded.
