I really can't control myself

"Is this the dinner you are talking about?" After a friendly exchange between the scientific research office and Ritsuko Akagi, Linton returned to his temporary residence with Misato Katsuragi.

This place is a high-end apartment, probably a residence provided by NERV for their senior staff. But now it seems that the occupancy rate of this apartment is not high. It was already evening when Linton and the others got home, and there were only two or three houses with lights on in the whole building, and none of them were on the same floor as them.

As for the accommodation, it was indeed pretty good. The room had everything, and it was quite big. It was so big that Linton felt empty even if he lived alone. There were two extra rooms available.

So the question is, shouldn't there be Asuna? Why is Linton the only one?

Yes, Asuna stayed directly in the scientific research room. This can be regarded as a hole dug by Linton himself. I originally thought that Asuna was also helping her with scientific research, such as the manned Poke Ball and the World Core Radar. They were all waiting in line for her to do. Helping her get some equipment and the like were things that Linton thought would be incidental. That’s all.

After Ritsuko Akagi reported it to the superiors, the superiors immediately agreed. It should be Ikari Gendo who made the decision immediately. To him, it didn't matter if Linton's goal was aimed at things over there in the scientific research room, because the really most important things weren't over there at all. In the eyes of ordinary people, the things in the scientific research room may be black technology, but in his eyes, it is nothing, so Linton's condition does not matter at all.

But what's more troublesome is that Asuna herself doesn't know what equipment she needs. After all, this is another world. Although it looks like the earth, it is actually very different from the earth she knows, so this world Asuna also needs to study the level of science and technology before she can know what she wants.

So the proposal became that Asuna temporarily stay in the scientific research room, and Ritsuko Akagi, the captain of the science team, did not object. Linton guessed that on the one hand, she was a little curious about how robots do scientific research, and on the other hand, she might also want to Study the situation with this mercury robot.

Originally, this didn't matter to Linton, but the only problem was... who would cook if Asuna was not here. At this time, Misato Katsuragi suddenly volunteered and said that she was responsible for today's dinner, saying it was a welcome party for the new neighbors.

Linton said that he had not considered what would happen if someone who had clearly stated that he could not cook before wanted to prepare dinner. There were indeed many things that appeared in front of him, but none of them were made by Misato Katsuragi. It's ready-made food that I just bought in the supermarket. I heat it up in the microwave at home and it's the dinner Katsuragi Misato mentioned. And what's going on with the whole row of beers on the table?

"I'm starting!" Misato Katsuragi obviously didn't have this consciousness. As she spoke, she opened a can of beer and took a big sip with a happy expression on her face. "Sure enough, taking a sip of beer after work is too much. Bravo!"

"I said that the task given by your commander is to monitor me. I don't want you to come to my house for nothing." Linton couldn't help but said.

"What kind of surveillance? There is no such thing." Misato Katsuragi said immediately, "What's the matter with coming to your door and giving it for free?"

"Don't you have any sense of self-consciousness? Now a man and a woman are living together in the same room, and you bring your own drinks, a dozen of them. What's the point of giving them for free if you don't come to the house?" Linton said.

"How can this be..." Misato Katsuragi suddenly froze in the middle of her sentence, because she suddenly realized that what Linton said seemed to make sense. She didn't realize the problem before because she didn't have the concept at all. After all, no man she knew could go two rounds under her hands. As the captain of the combat team, she had experience in melee combat, firearms, etc. Professionally trained, special forces level, do you think it would be dangerous for her to go to an ordinary man's home, even if no one else is there?

But Linton is obviously not an ordinary person. For this guy who can pick up an apostle and throw him around casually, Misato Katsuragi certainly doesn't think that the moves against humans are of any use to him. If this is true...

"Forget it, it seems like I can't resist if you really want to do it anyway..." Misato Katsuragi thought of this and suddenly spread her hands and said, "We are neighbors originally, separated by a wall, and you also said that the order from above is to let I'm keeping an eye on you, so you can't avoid contact like this, and I'm on guard against all that trouble."

"Should we just stop pretending? This has reached a situation where a dead pig is not afraid of boiling water?" Linton said.

"Anyway, my side is just a cover. If a 'weird' person like you is not monitored by anyone, it would be too fake. The 'monitoring' on my side is probably just for you to see. The one who is really responsible for passing on information It's the people from the Intelligence Department, you didn't see it just now." Misato Katsuragi said while drinking.

"Actually, you don't need to be so nervous. Do you see what I've hidden from you?" Linton said, "You want to see the time magic. I also demonstrated it on the spot. Do you know why?"

"Because... you are so powerful that you have no worries?" Misato Katsuragi thought for a moment and said.

"Yeah, you said that if an ant knows everything about an elephant, what can it do to the elephant?" Linton said.

"You're really not welcome." Misato Katsuragi took a big sip angrily and said, "I suddenly felt that your perspective on human beings is the same as the apostle's perspective on human beings? From the perspective of those things, we are just Ants, right?"

"Hey, you're a bit insulting. Those apostles don't have any IQ, so they don't have any ants-like thoughts when looking at human beings. Besides, how do you know whether those apostles are human beings in my eyes? Where are the ants?" Linton said, spreading his hands.

"I'm probably sure now that you are really not an apostle anymore." Misato Katsuragi said, "The monitoring also shows that your reaction is not a blue reaction, but you still use the AT stance..."

"Still doubting that, I already said it was magic." Linton said while eating his burger.

"Wait a minute, where did you get this burger? Did I buy this?" Katsuragi Misato asked, suddenly stunned.

"This is inventory, from KFC. It has just been released. Although it has been stored in the space ring for more than eight months, the things in it will not be damaged. The time inside is relatively static." Linton said, "You Want one?"

"Space ring..." Misato Katsuragi held her forehead, "I feel like I suddenly don't recognize this world today."

"Isn't it available at KFC?" Linton asked.

"That's not what I meant, you bastard!" Misato Katsuragi yelled directly.

"So I still miss my niece's cooking." Unfortunately, it's not a low-threat plane, and you can't just go there. Linton could only sigh, "I asked you if there is anyone here who is particularly good at cooking. Please help introduce one. For the sake of our affinity, I can teach you magic..."

"What?" Misato Katsuragi here almost spit out a mouthful of beer, "What did you say? This thing can also be taught?"

"Uh...how weird is this? Why can't it be taught?" Linton asked.

"Are you sure? I can learn?" Misato Katsuragi asked.

"Then I'm really not sure if you can learn it." Linton said, "But you can try."

"You...won't talk nonsense," Misato Katsuragi confirmed.

"I told you that there is nothing to lie to you and you," Linton said.

"Then... what are the conditions for the chef you want?" Misato Katsuragi asked.

"Well... first of all, she must be a beautiful woman, neither fat nor thin, with a good figure and outstanding appearance, and she must be younger..."

"Wait a minute, are you looking for a blind date or a chef?" Misato Katsuragi yelled directly, "I'm asking you to find a chef who specializes in what type of cuisine, Chinese, Japanese, French, etc."

"Hey, this is the minimum standard, okay? The reason why my little niece cooks delicious food is because she is beautiful first. Otherwise, imagine a muscular man like an ape with body hair all over his body. He still cooks for you while wearing a naked apron, no matter how delicious his cooking is, can you eat it?" Linton said.

Misato Katsuragi actually glanced at the kitchen next to her, as if the scene described by Linton still appeared in her mind, but she quickly shook her head to dispel it: "Although what you said makes sense, it is too extreme."

"That's because my pursuit of food is different. If I have to make do with it, I can still fill up my stomach by eating this KFC burger. Even if I don't eat it, I guess I won't starve to death in a few years. But since I can enjoy better things, why should I give up, right? Find a beautiful woman to help cook, and you will feel better while eating." Linton said, "In short... Firstly, I want a beautiful woman, and secondly, I want delicious food. , just these two points.”

"Then..." Misato Katsuragi hesitated for some reason.

"Don't tell me that you are starting to learn cooking now." Linton suddenly saw through the other person's thoughts for some reason and said directly.

"Am I not a beauty?" Katsuragi Misato shouted as she slapped the table.

"I simply think you don't have that talent. For someone who can cook, you can really tell just by looking at her face that she can cook..." Linton said.

"Huh?" Misato Katsuragi was stunned. Before she could understand what Linton meant, a sudden "didi" sound interrupted the conversation between the two. Misato Katsuragi took out her phone and felt a little more awake when she saw the name on it. This was NERV's contact number.

"This is Lieutenant Colonel Katsuragi. What's going on? Oh? Really? Shinji-kun is already awake? That's great. Now? But this way... Okay, I understand."

After the call, Misato Katsuragi put down the phone and sighed again: "This captain is really difficult to do."
