Ultraman: It turns out this is the easy mode.

Asuka was very happy.
The emotional value provided by Choi Min-seo was so great that it almost made Asuka feel valued.

Choi Ming glanced at the still-shocked NERV employees beside him and slowly said, "In short, this is Balam's combat power. But don't think Balam is simple. In fact, it's because Asuka piloted it well that it was able to deal with the Angel so easily. A good mecha is meaningless without a good pilot. The power of a mecha ultimately depends on the pilot to bring it to fruition."

As he spoke, he raised his hand and gently patted Asuka's shoulder, his eyes full of certainty: "Asuka, you're an ace pilot."

"Hehe, that's right!" Asuka immediately raised her chin, her pride barely concealed, her nose practically pointing to the sky, her tone full of smugness, "Don't you know who's piloting the Balam? I'm the best!"

The NERV employees around her nodded in agreement, their eyes filled with admiration as they looked at Asuka. They had all witnessed Balam crushing the Angel of Day, and Asuka's driving skills truly deserved the title of "ace."

Similar to Asuka's pride and elation at this moment was Shinji Ikari. These days, he smiled more and more, and his whole demeanor became much more cheerful. Recently, he has been extremely happy, even walking with a light step.

There were many things that made him happy. One was that his mother, Yui Ikari, had returned. Although she was just a phantom, she had always been by his side, giving him a warmth and sense of security he had never experienced before. The other was that Mr. Choi had clearly told him that he would not be involved in the fighting. He would no longer be forced to pilot an EVA, nor would he have to face those terrifying Angels and dangers. He could finally be a normal child, go to school, and live a good life.

And the most important point, which is also the one that makes him happiest and most relieved—that bastard Sextant has been punished!!!
The thought that Rokubungi Gendo could no longer act recklessly, no longer use him as a tool, and no longer do those absurd things that would destroy the world made Shinji Ikari laugh out loud. The repression and grievances in his heart completely vanished at that moment.

Ha ha ha ha! ! !

Awesome! So awesome!!!
Shinji Ikari stood there, his eyes crinkling with laughter, and he even couldn't help but jump up. His joy was genuine and undisguised. He had never been so happy before. Seeing the guy who had always hurt and ignored him suffer, seeing him pay the price for his actions, was incredibly satisfying!
Yui's illusory figure gently accompanied him, watching her son's happy appearance with a tender smile in her eyes—she no longer had to worry about her son being harmed by the Sextans, and she could finally see her son's pure and joyful smile.

Meanwhile, Rokubun Gigendo, stripped of all power and authority after being punished, was in a terrible state—his heart-wrenching screams echoed from his room, piercing through the walls and exceptionally shrill: "Aaaaaaahh ...

The temperature in Sextant's room was terrifyingly high, almost reaching 100 degrees Celsius. The air was scorching, and even a breath made his throat hurt. The walls were slightly hot from the heat. He was covered in sweat, his clothes were soaked and clung to his body, and he looked as if he had been thrown into a steamer, utterly disheveled.

Actually, it was all a misunderstanding—Jerry had been running around the room and accidentally knocked over his air conditioner, breaking it and rendering it completely unusable. Tom came over to help fix it, but after a lot of effort, he accidentally messed up the wiring, causing the air conditioner to not only fail to be fixed but also completely lose its cooling function; even when turned on, it would only keep emitting heat.

Meanwhile, Spike and his companions were leisurely whiling away the time outside Sextant's room.

"Hey, it's a bit hot." Spike took a sip of milk from the jug and felt the air around him getting hotter and hotter. He couldn't help but frown and glance at Sextans' room. Through the crack in the door, he could see a faint warmth spreading inside.

Good heavens! The heat is blasting out, it looks like it's about to catch fire!
Spike paused for a moment, then lowered his head and continued drinking his milk, muttering indifferently, "Whatever, it's not my room anyway." After a couple of sips of milk, he felt too hot, so he reached out and pressed the air conditioner control panel outside the room, trying to lower the temperature to relieve the surrounding heat.

But
The press of the button had no effect; instead, it seemed to trigger a switch, causing the room temperature to rise sharply. The scorching heat almost burst through the door, and even Spike outside the room could feel the heat wave.

The sextant in the room, driven to the brink of collapse by the sudden heat, roared even more shrilly, filled with boundless anger and despair, shouting towards the door: "Aaaaaah! The air conditioner is broken!!! You bunch of idiots!!! The air conditioner is broken!!!! Fix the air conditioner now!!!!"

Spike, who was outside the door, heard his roar, but just lazily raised his eyelids, took another sip of milk, and showed no intention of helping at all—after all, Sextant had done a lot of evil in the past, and in his opinion, he had only himself to blame for his current predicament.

Just as Sextant was driven to hysteria by the high temperature in the room, while Spike and the others were leisurely outside the door, a person was standing not far away, somewhat speechless, silently watching the scene before him—none other than Fuyutsuki Kozo.

Kozo Fuyutsuki frowned, his gaze fixed on Tom, Jerry, and Spike crouching by the door, his eyes twitching uncontrollably. He truly hadn't expected that Rokubun Gigendo, once so high and mighty, manipulating countless conspiracies, would now be "guarded" by a few cats, dogs, and rats, and in such a wretched state. If word got out, probably no one would believe it.

He silently scoffed to himself, his lips twitching, but he couldn't hold back any longer. He stepped forward and asked Spike, "Can I go see him?"

Spike glanced at him, paused in his milk jug, and said nothing. He simply stretched out his paw and gently scratched at the door. With a "click," the door opened a crack.

The next moment.
boom!!!!!
A burst of scalding heat instantly erupted from the crack in the door, enveloping Dongyue Gengzao in an unbearable heat. The temperature was outrageously high, almost burning his skin. With each breath, the scalding air forced its way down his throat, causing him to cough repeatedly and nearly suffocate. Even his eyes were stinging from the heat.

Tsuyuki Kōzō subconsciously took a few steps back, his face instantly turning bright red. It took him a while to regain his balance. Looking at the door that was constantly emitting steam, he remained silent for a few seconds before speaking in a flat tone with a hint of barely perceptible helplessness: "I'll go back first."

The sextant in the room, which was on the verge of collapse, seemed to grasp at the last straw when it heard Fuyutsuki's voice. It immediately stretched out its hand, which was white from being soaked in sweat, and waved frantically toward the door, shouting in a hoarse voice, "No! Fuyutsuki! Don't leave me! Fix the air conditioner for me!"

But no sooner had he finished speaking than Spike glanced impatiently at the door, raised his claws, and slammed the door shut—the Door of Severance! Without the slightest hesitation, a loud "bang" completely shut out the roars and scorching heat from inside the room.

Looking at the tightly closed door, then at Spike who was nonchalantly drinking his milk, Fuyutsuki Kōzō shook his head helplessly, turned, and slowly left—it seemed Sextant would have to bear this ordeal alone. (End of Chapter)
