EVA: Shinji Ikari Returns from the Dragon Clan

Chapter 62 61. Fish Angel Defeats and Envy and I Are Back

There was no time to think about it now.

Unit-01 seized the opportunity and stabbed out the particle knife, trying desperately to pierce the core in its throat before rolling over and ending this endless torture.

Take it.

A high-vibration particle knife that is ten meters long!

Everyone in the command room was staring at the image of Unit-01.

My heartstrings were entangled with this crucial blow.

next moment.

Inside the spinning mouth, the underwater propulsion equipment accelerated suddenly, and Unit-01 moved forward sideways. The particle knife stabbed out with force, like a hot knife cutting butter, touching the red core of the fish angel, cutting a mark, and quickly pressing down.

Final blow.

Red core, smash it!
The fish angel stopped tumbling, and its entire huge body fell downwards. This creature, with amazing recovery ability, was like a vampire's apostle in a horror story. It was finally defeated and fell into the deep sea, and would only see the light of day again during subsequent salvage.

The Apostles have been annihilated!

It really looks like a grand whale fall.

Ikari Shinji thought silently.

Blood was still flowing from its corpse, making the entire sea turbid. At this time, there was an important matter that needed to be dealt with. He and Unit 00 hurriedly took the dead Unit 2 out of the mouth of the apostle's corpse.

In the command room.

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

"As expected of you, Shinji-kun."

"It will take the appearance of Unit-01 to defeat the Angel."

The Kua Kua religion is here again.

Cheers were heard over the communication channel.

The two machines here began to surface with Unit 2.

So much time has passed since the cable broke, and now only the cockpit is still maintaining Asuka's vital signs. It can last for about ten hours, which is enough time, but in order to ensure safety, real-time communication with the pilot inside is still necessary.

Occasionally, the German lady's response could be heard in the communication channel.

Her tone sounded dejected.

Return to the ground.

The transport plane is ready.

The EVA cut off the neural sympathy and the cockpit was ejected. The transport staff were busy, and the three pilots took a helicopter together, preparing to return to the headquarters together.

It’s a pity that today’s holiday is ruined.

Ikari Shinji sighed.

The plane flew at an extremely high speed and returned to the headquarters immediately.

After taking off their combat uniforms and changing back into their original clothes in the locker room, the three of them came to the lounge. Ikari Shinji was bored, Ayanami Rei was eager to try, and Asuka lowered her head. Everyone had a different expression, and you could draw a picture of Jesus' "The Last Supper".

Misato Katsuragi walked in.

The urban beauty looked like she had a headache, and she was rubbing her forehead in distress. It was probably because of the battle with the apostles today, but it was foreseeable that she would have more troubles in the days ahead.
"Shinji-kun, this time it's really thanks to you, you helped a lot."

Finish praising Shinji Ikari.

The exhausted female captain then noticed the German lady in the corner and quickly added,
"Ah Asuka you too."

"..."

Ikari Shinji: “…”

Miss Misato, you are really dancing in her minefield. If she was too busy and didn't notice it, maybe she could get away with it... or it could be worse. But if Asuka is not annoyed by this kind of tone, then he would not be named Ikari today.

obviously.

The German lady immediately became angry and said in a sarcastic tone,

"No, Misato, you are praising the wrong person. The invincible Shinji-sama is much more powerful than me. This way, that top student and I can fight much more easily."

"...I'm going to get busy with work first. I might have to work overtime tonight." Pretending not to hear the other meaning in this sentence, Misato Katsuragi stretched and walked out of the lounge as if escaping.

There were only three pilots left in the lounge.

Asuka leaned her back against the wall and for a moment, regretted the weird thing she had just said.

There are heroes who will come when you cry out.

She thought a little painfully.

But it wasn't himself, but Ikari Shinji.

Moreover, he is everyone's hero, and will attract all the attention. No one will notice her. He is not a hero that belongs to one person. She doesn't want such a hero! It's great that Unit-01 has defeated the Angel again. Unit-02 is probably something that is completely unnecessary. Misato also didn't notice herself at all.

At this moment she wanted to vent hysterically.

But Asuka felt a little disgusted with herself for wanting to escape like this. The jealousy in her words was too obvious. Now everyone knows that she is jealous of stupid Shinji.

——That’s great, she finally doesn’t have to hide anymore!

Do not know why.

Asuka felt that the repressed feeling in her heart was slightly relieved.

But it's still so dull, so dull that it makes me want to die.

So she stared over.

Shinji Ikari noticed her gaze and looked back. He had heard what Asuka and Misato had just said and could understand what Asuka was thinking. This proud German princess, who knew what she had experienced in the past, had such a stubborn character.

Although he had guessed about it over the days, who could have imagined that her character was so serious.

The jealousy in the words just now almost overflowed.

Staring at each other.

The two people stared at each other.

Her thin lips moved hesitantly, as if she wanted to say something.

But in the end she didn't say anything. If she could speak frankly, she would not be that Asuka anymore.

So the usually spirited German lady lowered her head this time, her pretty face no longer had the charm of the past, and she walked out silently alone, without paying any attention to her surroundings. After coming to Japan, she, a German, did not make friends with the people here, so after defeating the fish angel, no staff from the headquarters greeted her.

Looks pitiful.

It really is like a homeless golden retriever puppy in need of comfort. In recent times, we have become friends, and friends should be loyal to each other.

Shinji Ikari felt a little soft-hearted.

He couldn't help but take a step toward that direction, but then stopped.

If the winner now goes to comfort the loser, won't Asuka think that he's being mocked?

Just like what he said before, "Asuka has done well enough", in his own eyes, it seemed to be the truth, but for this German lady, it might not be a good thing. Thinking back, it seemed that he had done some unnecessary things before.

"Ikari-kun."

The girl's voice shifted Shinji Ikari's gaze away from the German lady.

There are priorities.

Compared to Asuka who was sulking in jealousy because he stole the limelight, he naturally felt that the three-no pretty girl who always obeyed him was more important. And friends are of course not as important as good friends, so he immediately looked at Ayanami Rei with red eyes.

"Ayanami, what's wrong?"

"..."

The beautiful girl looked at him expectantly.

Uh.

What does this mean?

Ayanami's rare look made people want to touch her head. Ikari Shinji's fingers were ready to move, and the shameful desire made people want to touch the blue hair like the sea, but he quickly stopped this dangerous idea and thought seriously about why the girl called him.

...You look at me eagerly, and I can't guess what you want me to do.

After a long while, he finally said tentatively,
"I'm back?"
