EVA: Shinji Ikari Returns from the Dragon Clan

Chapter 218 216. I want my mother's love

Ritsuko Akagi looked at the test data of Rei Ayanami in her hand.

Auditory hallucinations…

Could it be a call from the second apostle Lilith?
In the Dogma District in the central part of the underground city, the soulless body of the apostle is calling for its soul to return. After destroying all the apostles, this clone is destined to return to its original body. Akagi Ritsuko naturally guessed the source of the call, but she had no intention of explaining it to Shinji.

Ayanami Rei.

A biological miracle.

Isn't it interesting that Lilith's soul, which was separated by human technology, possessed a human body and formed a human self-awareness like Ayanami Rei?
The body of a human being, the soul of an apostle.

In the final step of the plan.

Lilith's soul needs to return to the body to form a complete second apostle, and then merge with the first apostle Adam. Once the fruit of life and the fruit of wisdom are combined, a true god will be created. At that time, Rei Ayanami's consciousness, which has returned to her body, will most likely interfere with God's decision.

"...God?"

she muttered.

But on the road to this god-making plan, there is an obstructing obstacle.

——The Spear of Longinus.

The next step should be to solve the problem of this spear.

This is what the people above had done before in order to suppress the headquarters, so they had it stabbed into Lilith's body. As long as this spear is there, the second apostle Lilith can be sealed. The origin of this spear was that it was stabbed into the body of the first apostle Adam fifteen years ago, and was obtained by humans during the second impact on the Antarctic continent.

but.

The apostles are the descendants of Adam.

Lilith is a being of the same level as Adam, and was not bred by Adam. She even bred humans, a creature full of barriers between people. She is called an angel just for convenience. If you insist, the first angel who invaded Tokyo after Shinji came here is the second angel in the true sense.

Ritsuko Akagi sat there in a daze for a long time, and she didn't even have time to drink her steaming black coffee until it got cold. It was not until the office door creaked open that she came to her senses.

It was Misato Katsuragi who walked in.

"Ritsuko..."

"Ok?"

"Have you seen that guy Jiaji these two days?"

"Why? Missing your ex-boyfriend?"

Ritsuko Akagi immediately said jokingly.

She was just thinking about Lilith, but when Katsuragi came, she became more interested in gossiping about her friends. It was not uncommon for Katsuragi to look worried, but in the past it was because of the pilots. Now the object of his worry was Kaji Ryoji, which was really rare.

The blonde beauty didn't mind the cold black coffee. She took a sip and continued:

"And didn't you always say he was a bad guy?"

"That's what he said, but his personality is just a little bad. I don't know what he has been doing in the past few days. It's really worrying. So, Ritsuko, do you know his whereabouts?" Misato Katsuragi asked with a frown.

"I don't know. Besides, you don't even know the whereabouts of your ex-boyfriend, and you still ask others. You are such a loser."

"Ahhh stop preaching..."

"What's there to worry about? He often disappears like this before."

"Before, it was before..." Katsuragi Misato muttered, and then she seemed to remember something and asked, "By the way, where did Vice Commander Fuyutsuki go?"

"I do not know."

"There you go again, that tone. Ritsuko, you always hide things from me."

It is because Deputy Commander Dongyue is missing.

Coupled with Kaji's strange attitude a while ago, Katsuragi Misato is so worried now. She is afraid that Kaji Ryoji has done something stupid, but no one in the headquarters knows where he is. He doesn't answer the phone. Really, he is so old, but he still acts like he is running away from home.

Looking at Misato Katsuragi's angry expression, Ritsuko Akagi smiled and continued drinking her coffee.

It’s better to keep it a secret.

If you don’t know so many truths, you won’t be so painful.

Even if they knew, what would they do? Even if Misato found out the truth, what good solution would there be? The blonde beauty was unmoved, and her friend Katsuragi was just trying to stop a chariot with a mantis arm. Although she did not know where Kaji Ryoji had gone, Akagi Ritsuko naturally knew the answer to the question of where Vice Commander Fuyutsuki had gone.

This old man was captured by those people above.

Although the deputy commander was missing from the headquarters, there was not much movement. The headquarters was still working as usual, and they were too lazy to even do the superficial work of covering up where the deputy commander had gone. She also did not see Commander Ikari make any moves, so he must have already reached an agreement with those people above.

Even Deputy Commander Fuyutsuki, who had accompanied Commander Ikari for so many years and was his university teacher, ended up like this.

I don’t know how the commander would react if I were caught.

Ritsuko Akagi smiled at herself inwardly.

Both mother and daughter fall in love with the same person at the same time.

It's really sad.

After her mother died, she even preserved her brain in MAGI as an integral biological computer, dutifully serving Commander Ikari, whom she loved during her lifetime.

And she had not visited her mother's grave for three consecutive years because of the hatred in her heart. She hated it so much that she wanted to fall in love with the man her mother loved. As long as the man showed a little tenderness to her, she would fall into the trap. She also developed an unwarranted hostility towards her "rival" mother.

perhaps.

This is how much I hate my mother.

All the apostles were destroyed. Will he be able to get the desired ending in the end?
Since she was a child, Ritsuko Akagi has lived in an environment where her parents are divorced. She has never felt much family love in her memory. The two of them have been busy with scientific research and have little time to take care of her daughter. However, Ritsuko Akagi is not very sad and is always proud that her mother is a great scientist.

So, after studying hard since childhood, Ritsuko Akagi finally entered the research institute where her mother worked and also participated in Project E.

When she told her mother that she could work with her mother.

Her mother smiled and congratulated her, and gave her a hug, which was a feeling of family love that she had never experienced before. At that time, Akagi Ritsuko felt so happy that her efforts had been recognized, and even her whole body felt light.

Ritsuko Akagi at that time.

I still can't understand the feelings between men and women.

When she was in college, she was always called aloof and a nerd. She didn't have many friends, only Misato Katsuragi and Ryoji Kaji. She accidentally witnessed her mother and Commander Ikari being intimate, and after realizing that her mother liked this man, she asked her mother a question.
"Do you like this man?"

"of course."

"I don't quite understand the relationship between men and women."

"Your cold personality hasn't changed at all. Be careful or you'll let your own happiness slip away." said the mother with a smile.

"I don't understand the definition of happiness. Do you feel happy when you are with this man?"

"of course."

Not long after that, my mother died in an accident.

When Commander Ikari invited Ritsuko Akagi to take over Plan E in place of her mother, Ritsuko Akagi didn't know why she agreed so easily, and later fell in love with this man like her mother, even if it was just her one-sided admiration.

I must be hating my mother, right? I finally had the chance to work with her, but she passed away.

He is already the fourteenth apostle.

Ritsuko Akagi thought.

The time has come to implement the plan.

"So, how are Asuka and Rei?" Misato Katsuragi continued to ask.

"Everyone is fine."

"... That's good... I'll leave first, Ritsuko, you just stay here and work!" She made a childish face. She's almost thirty years old, but she still has such a childish side.

Ritsuko Akagi held a cup of coffee, looked at her back and smiled.

Asuka?

She looked down at the test data.

Asuka has met her own Shinji-kun. The feelings of these young people make Ritsuko Akagi's heart full of emotion, but she knows clearly that she will never meet her own "Shinji-kun".

mom.

Ritsuko Akagi put down her coffee cup.

Could we, mother and daughter, be big fools?
