EVA: Shinji Ikari Returns from the Dragon Clan

Chapter 31 30. Ikari Shinji, what are you fighting for?
Unit-01 and Unit-02.

If you want to be safe, it makes sense to let these two EVAs attack.

Shinji Ikari has been training for more than a month, and Asuka is the ace in Europe. As for Unit-00...if it goes to the battlefield now, it will be just like when Shinji Ikari first piloted Unit-01, it will be difficult to create a miracle.

of course.

Although we are going to attack, we are not going to drive right away.

"Where's the battle video?"

It’s much easier to play with a video.

Shinji Ikari doesn't want to be foolish enough to use himself to test out the attack mode of the Angel.

That kind of thing happened once is enough.

The command room immediately broadcast live footage. The appearance of the new apostle came into view, and everyone's eyes were focused on him.

It was a standard regular octahedron with a shiny blue appearance. Unlike the two previous apostles that had certain biological characteristics, the new apostle was more like a man-made mechanical product of extraordinary craftsmanship. Every part of it was perfectly fitted together to form a complete octahedron. Each side was as smooth as a mirror, and it was impossible to even tell where its core was.

soon.

A tentative attack was launched.

Katsuragi Misato showed a look of pity on her face. She moved away from the screen and pressed the repeat button.

"All the helicopters we sent crashed. The moment they approached, they were attacked by the particle cannons fired by the new apostles. In order to avoid more losses, it seems that we can only use unmanned automatic weapons to test for the time being."

on the screen.

The helicopter tried to fire a few bombs, but failed to attract its attention. When the AT force field was turned on, the apostle would not suffer such ordinary damage. At this time, it suddenly changed its shape, and something like a gun muzzle stretched out. It fired rapidly, like using a cannon to hit a mosquito, and shot down all the helicopters. It was unknown how many pilots survived.

It feels like a fixed aerial turret.

If you want to attack it, you must advance under its bombardment and cannot be hit even once. It is a very difficult task.

This is really a headache.

The attack patterns of the first two apostles are easy to predict.

Now this apostle only has one kind of particle cannon, and it is still motionless. I don’t know if I can get close to it.

Fortunately.

There should be plenty of time.

"A drill suddenly appeared underneath it, and it was using the drill to break through the underground city!" someone said.

"Drill? Will it be fast?" Asuka asked eagerly.

"It is expected to arrive at the headquarters early tomorrow morning."

This... there is not much time left.

But it is true.

So the goal is clear.

There must be something hidden deep inside the NERV headquarters that attracts the apostles. Could it be the royal family in their bloodline? If it is awakened, it can destroy the world? Is there a world tree underneath that is coiled by the black dragon Nidhogg?
Shinji Ikari's thinking diverges.

Maybe I can explore the secrets deep within this headquarters.

He still didn't know how big the entire headquarters area was. It seemed that in order to cover up the secret, it was built into a huge and complicated maze. Authorization was required to enter and exit various places. So far, Ikari Shinji had not tried how deep his ID authorization card could reach. At this moment.

Shinji Ikari noticed the excited look on Asuka's face beside him.

She leaned in front of the screen and stared at the Angel, her beautiful long golden hair swaying with her movements. Why does this girl look so excited... That's right, Ikari Shinji remembered that this girl was a very proud person. She showed her concern for EVA when they first met. Now that she sees the Angel coming, she probably wants to take action and show her style.

"Miri, is it time to attack?" she said as expected.

"Then I'll leave it to you and Shinji-kun."

Under Asuka's influence, even Misato Katsuragi's nervous mood eased a lot.

The female captain smiled, clasped her hands together in a pitiful pleading gesture, and lowered her voice deliberately, making perfect use of the charm of an urban beauty. This look made Shinji Ikari think of his first meeting with Miss Misato.

Then let’s attack.

First, you need to change into combat uniforms.

He and Asuka went to the locker room one after another. There was no one else on the way. Misato Katsuragi and Ritsuko Akagi still needed to stay in the command room, and the follow-up experiment on Unit 0 also needed to be completed. The two of them arrived at the locker room in silence.

While changing clothes, Shinji Ikari remembered the thought he had before.

Since there is an organic soul inside the EVA body.

Well, Unit-01, you are already a mature machine. This time you have to learn how to defeat the Angels on your own. You can't let me, the pilot, do everything for you.

Then he shook his head in his heart to dispel this unreliable thought.

When I walked out of the locker room, I bumped into Asuka who had just changed her clothes. The German girl had already changed out of her school uniform and replaced it with a brand new combat uniform. The beautiful girl was stretching her body wantonly and doing warm-up exercises in the combat uniform. Judging from her skilled appearance, she probably wore this combat uniform often when she was in the European branch.

The fiery red combat uniform burns like a ball of blazing flame.

It seems to be her style color. Ikari Shinji thought about it and felt that Unit 2 should be a similar color. This proud girl's choices in all things are easy to predict.

I thought the silence would continue.

"Hello, Shinji Ikari." Suddenly, it was the voice of the German lady.

As arrogant as usual.

Ikari Shinji looked over there with a bit of surprise.

Although calling him by his name is a point worth complaining about, it is a big improvement over the previous nickname. It seems that...his attitude has improved all of a sudden. Did something happen when he was unaware? Or was it to make him let down his guard?
Asuka was looking at him with her head tilted to the side. Her expression was unclear on her fair and beautiful face. She asked in a very calm tone,
"Didn't you feel any pain when you beat the two apostles before?"

"Of course it hurts."

Shinji Ikari looked at Asuka with an expression as if to say, "What are you talking about?"

Could it be that this girl was in the European branch, flying Unit 2 and had never been injured, so she didn't understand the pain of empathy, and came to him to learn from him? But this sounded like someone who had experienced pain, mocking him by saying that he was happy.

Not quite like it.

What did she want to do by asking these questions suddenly?
"You're still driving even though it hurts? You're such an idiot. What on earth are you fighting for, you idiot?" Asuka lifted her blonde hair in confusion. She strode towards the cockpit of Unit 2, leaving behind a lonely back.

This boy is really strange.

But the apostles come first.

Her last words were, “Never mind, I’m not really curious about this.”
