The old man's answer made Ikari sigh after he was silent for a lot.

"I understand. So, how is Shinji now?"

The old man replied: "When Shinji-kun, he should still go to school with other candidates in school now."

"Let's not talk about other places for now, they are only safe in this third new Tokyo city."

"but……"

Ikari said in a deep voice: "There is not much time..."

The old man nodded and sighed, "Yes, there is not much time left."

"Although the supplies and energy in the third new Tokyo city can still hold on."

"But the people of the Free Federation seem to have lost their patience."

"There is no evidence at present why the dimension beast suddenly began to attack underground."

"But in this kind of place, unless someone wants to die, then only the people of the Free Federation are deliberately guiding the Dimensional Beast."

As he said that, the old man looked at Ikari: "So, Ikari, we must make a decision before all the defense facilities are compromised."

"Otherwise, when the dimension beast really invades the third new Tokyo city, it will be too late."

Ikari pursed her lips, her eyes full of solemnity.

After a long time, Ikari asked without any end.

"Aren't we going to leave with others back then? "

Ikari's words made the old man feel a little silent.

The old man looked at the lake outside the window and sighed.

"If we really left, are you sure Shinji and Rei could be born smoothly?"

"At that time, Wei could produce at any time. Unless we abandon Wei's life and ignore it, do we have any other choice?"

Looking back at the silent Ikari, the old man suddenly laughed.

"And, escaping with you may not be a good thing."

"The situation was so chaotic back then, unless we could successfully escape back to the unified land."

"Otherwise, we can only go to the Free Federation or make a living overseas."

"Not mentioning the situation back then, how low is the possibility of escaping back to the unified land."

"Just the style of the Free Federation will destroy everyone's thoughts of going to the Free Federation."

"After all, no one wants to go to other people's country and let themselves, even their own children, be a cow and horse for the enemies who destroy our homes..."

While Ikari's slowly closing her eyes, the old man comforted her.

"Ikari, our choice back then was the right one."

"The possibility of abandoning Tokyo and going overseas to build a second new Tokyo city is lower than building a third new Tokyo city here."

"And once we go overseas, it means we betray the unification. The result will probably be worse."

"It may be a better choice now. At least, aren't we all still alive now?"

As he said that, the old man looked at the lake outside the window and said firmly.

"And, here, there are things worth our abandoning our lives and protecting..."

"Even if we die, we must not give those things to the Free Federation..."

Listening to the old man's words, Ikari opened the drawer, took out a photo frame, looked at the person in the photo frame, and murmured.

"Shinji...Ri..."

Just as Ikari was muttering the names of two people in the photo frame.

Among the only high school teachers in the third new Tokyo city.

The black-haired boy and the blue-haired girl who were very similar to those in the Ikari photo frame were sitting on the rooftop, looking at the sky made of mechanical walls above her head.

"It's another sinking sky."

The boy looked at the sky, his eyes gradually lost focus, and he didn't know what he was thinking.

But soon, his attention was called back by a cold voice.

"Shinji, the bento is ready."

When Shinji heard this voice, he quickly lowered his head, looked at the blue-haired girl beside him, and nodded in response.

"Well, I'm sorry to you again, Li."

The blue-haired girl named Li shook her head expressionlessly and said.

"It's okay, this is what it should be, because I am my sister. It is my sister's responsibility to take care of my younger brother."

Shinji's expression was a little subtle: "That, Li, I am actually..."

Before Shinji could finish his words, he was interrupted by a loud noise. Shinji was startled by the sound. Rei slowly turned her head and looked in the direction where the sound came.

As Li was watching, in the direction of the rooftop stairs, a girl with glasses in purple, double-low ponytails, and a girl with orange-haired, double-ponytails, and a boy with short white hair and soft smile were looking at them.

Among them, the girl with purple double low ponytails with a dark face and her eyes were full of anger.

"We've found you! Shinji, Rei."

Seeing this girl, Shinji looked helpless, while Rizi said in unison with her expressionless voice.

"Auntie Hippo." *2

"Shut up!!!"

The girl with purple double low ponytail glasses named Mahibo rushed over with a quick step, hugged Shinji, and made Shinji blush.

"Really, Aunt Hippo, don't do this..."

Mahibo said unyieldingly: "I don't care. It's obvious that you let me go and broke the appointment. Now Shinji, you have to compensate me well. I want to replenish Shinji's energy."

The girl with orange hair and ponytails walking through the stairs held her forehead with a headache.

"Shiji energy or something...that kind of thing doesn't exist at all, okay."

"And if you stay with the fool Shinji for a long time, you will be contagious as a fool."

"Auntie Hippo, I've said it so many times, why don't you understand?"

Next to the girl with orange hair and two ponytails, the boy with short white hair replied with a smile.

"This is also impossible, Asuka."

"Aunt Mahjpo was forced to enter frozen dormant due to some accidents."

"Now I finally woke up by chance. Facing this strange world, I will inevitably feel a little uncomfortable."

The girl with orange hair and double ponytails named Asuka was holding her shoulders with a helpless face.

"Although Nagisa Kaoru's words make sense, no matter what, Aunt Mahipo is a classmate of the same generation as Aunt Wei."

"It's a bit inappropriate for her to pester Shinji like this?"

In the peaceful smile of the white-haired boy named Kaoru Nagisa, Mahiba hugged Shinji, who was blushing and looked at Asuka teasingly.

"Ah, what's wrong? Xiao Asuka is jealous?"

In an instant, Asuka roared with a red face and said, "Who, who will eat this guy's jealousy? Aunt Hippo, don't talk nonsense!"

Mahibo's expression gradually looked at Asuka jokingly, and that gaze made Asuka dare not look at him.

After Asuka avoided looking at Mahibo with Mahibo, Mahibo's expression turned into a funny face.

Mahibo directly hugged Shinji's neck and rubbed Shinji's face with his smooth pretty face.

This action made Shinji's face flushed on the spot, and it also made someone furious.

Shinji stumbled and refused, "Mama, Aunt Hippo, don't do this..."

Asuka roared on the spot: "Mahibo, you old lady give me a little bit. Are you not ashamed of eating tender grass or something? That's the son of your best friend!!!"
