Hansen smiled, gently stroking the girl's soft, lustrous blue short hair.
The gentle caress of divine power made Rei Ayanami, who had just completed her metamorphosis, feel a deep exhaustion. She snuggled into Hansen's arms like a kitten finding its nest, her breathing gradually becoming long and steady.
Hansen bent down, picked up her petite but newly revitalized body, and walked into the guest room.
He gently placed her on the bed and covered her with a blanket.
At this moment, Rei Ayanami's sleeping face was serene and beautiful, with a faint smile still lingering on her lips.
After doing all this, Hansen quietly closed the door and returned to the living room.
However, he wasn't the only one in the living room.
"Oh my, BOSS is so biased."
In a dim corner, a figure leaned against the wall, playing with her loose hair.
Mari Makinami was wearing extremely short hot pants and a tight camisole, her fiery figure faintly visible in the shadows.
Her ample chest rose and fell with her breathing, creating an astonishing sense of pressure.
Her long legs were crossed, and her fair, alluring toes tapped idly on the ground.
She pushed up her red-framed glasses, and the lenses reflected a sharp gleam.
Her blue-green eyes were now full of playfulness, but in the deepest part of that playfulness, there was a hint of fanaticism and urgency, like a wild beast spotting its prey.
"Princess is taken, the honor student is also taken, am I the only bad kid… excluded?"
Mari Makinami whistled, her tone teasing, but her body was taut.
As the most instinctively wild pilot, she had clearly perceived what had just happened.
Although she didn't know how BOSS did it, Rei Ayanami, like Asuka, had completed a leap in life level in an extremely short time!
As a battle maniac who pursued extreme thrills, how could she tolerate her equally matched companions getting stronger one by one while she remained stagnant?
This was even more unbearable than killing her!
Hansen walked to the refrigerator, took out a can of beer, and tossed it to her.
Snap.
Mari Makinami caught it steadily, pulled the tab open with one hand, and took a big gulp.
Some of the liquor flowed down the corner of her mouth, slid across her slender neck, and finally disappeared into her bottomless cleavage.
The fear and tension of the unknown also dissipated by more than half.
"What? You want it too?" Hansen leaned back on the sofa, looking at this wild female leopard with interest.
"Want it! Of course, I want it! I'm practically drooling!"
Mari Makinami made no attempt to hide her desire.
She put down the beer can and, like an elegant and dangerous leopard, walked to Hansen in a few steps.
Then, she made an extremely bold move.
She directly straddled Hansen's thighs, wrapped her arms around his neck, and pressed her entire body against him.
That soft and elastic touch could be clearly felt even through their clothes.
Mari Makinami leaned close to Hansen's ear, her warm breath caressing his earlobe, carrying a faint scent of alcohol and shower gel.
"BOSS…"
Her voice became sweet and seductive, her tongue lightly licking her red lips.
"That feeling, I want to… try it too~"
As she spoke, her fingers drew circles on Hansen's chest, full of teasing intent.
Hansen looked at her pretty face, so close to him.
Unlike Rei Ayanami's cold purity, and unlike Asuka's tsundere passion, Mari Makinami was like an unpredictable wildfire, full of primitive vitality and destructive desire.
"Since you're so honest," Hansen pinched her chin and lightly kissed the red lips she proactively offered, "then I'll satisfy you."
"However, the reward for bad kids can be a little rough."
Mari Makinami's pupils suddenly constricted, then excitedly dilated.
"Couldn't ask for more!"
Boom—!
The brilliant white-gold divine power surged forth again, this time even more violent and fervent than when it was given to Rei Ayanami!
If what was given to Rei Ayanami was gentle nourishment, then what was given to Mari Makinami was like a blazing inferno!
...
...
The next morning.
The rain had cleared, and sunlight streamed through the floor-to-ceiling windows into the dining room, gilding everything with a golden edge.
The dining table was laden with a sumptuous breakfast—
Perfectly toasted bread, sizzling bacon, golden sunny-side-up eggs, and fragrant coffee and milk.
Hansen sat at the head of the table, calmly reading the newspaper.
To his left was Rei Ayanami, wearing pink cat pajamas.
She was sipping milk in small sips, her cheeks flushed, occasionally sneaking glances at Hansen, her eyes full of affection.
Her usually expressionless face now radiated a sense of happiness that made one feel as if bathed in a spring breeze.
To his right was Mari Makinami, wearing Hansen's white shirt.
The shirt's hem barely covered her thighs, and her two long, beautiful legs were brazenly crossed.
She had a look of utter satisfaction, like a cat that had just stolen food and hadn't wiped its mouth, humming a strange nursery rhyme, poking the sausage on her plate with a fork, a subtly ambiguous smile playing on her lips.
And across from Hansen was Asuka, wearing an apron and carrying freshly baked bread out.
Clang—!
The plate was placed on the table with a moderate sound.
Asuka stood with her hands on her hips, her blue eyes practically spitting fire, her gaze sweeping back and forth between Rei Ayanami and Mari Makinami.
"You two! Are you planning to just stay here?!"
Although Asuka had fallen asleep last night, the unique mental link between God-Awakened individuals made her vaguely sense something even in her sleep.
That spiritual resonance, that feeling as if everyone was tied to the same rope...
Especially seeing Rei Ayanami's completely new appearance and that equally familiar aura around Mari Makinami.
How could she not understand what had happened?
Asuka gritted her teeth, feeling sour, like an overturned vinegar jar.
"Report! I was clearly here first!" Mari Makinami keenly caught Asuka's emotions, raised her hand with a smile, and said, "Oh, is Princess jealous?"
"Actually, this feeling isn't bad at all. We're truly a family now, you know~"
Saying this, Mari Makinami even deliberately closed her eyes and pointed to her temple: "Don't believe me? I can hear Princess cursing me as a 'four-eyed pervert' in her mind right now."
"Who, who cursed you?!" Asuka's pretty face turned crimson, like a cat whose tail had been stepped on.
But as Mari Makinami said, when the three of them calmed down, they could indeed feel a mysterious connection between them.
They could vaguely perceive each other's emotions, and even achieve a certain degree of telepathy.
This intimate mental link unexpectedly created an extremely strange sense of harmony in what should have been a tense love triangle.
