EVA: Shinji Ikari Returns from the Dragon Clan

Chapter 93 91. Let's go to the hot springs together after this.

Rei Ayanami looked at everything in front of her calmly.

She didn't know why the topic had shifted to herself. Would she be the one to pilot the Unit 2 and fight alongside Ikari-kun?

Sounds pretty good.

But the pilot of Unit 2 would definitely not agree.

As expected, after Akagi Ritsuko said that, Asuka didn't care about whether it was embarrassing or not, and immediately rushed to the cockpit of Unit 2, not noticing the malicious intent in the technical director's words.

"It's still ugly after all. Just bear with it, Unit 2."

The beautiful girl took a look at the bloated body and said bitterly.

There's no way it can be gorgeous this time.

She entered the cockpit.

LCL injection.

Neural empathy.

On the other side, Unit-01 is also ready.

The two EVA bodies will be airlifted to the designated location with the help of a special transport plane. The sound of the transport plane's jet is buzzing, and there is a moment of silence in the communication channel.

Ten minutes later.

Unit-01 and Unit-02 finally landed at the same time.

The two began to implement the battle plan.

Shinji Ikari needs to control Unit-01 to stay on the ground for support, while Asuka needs to control Unit-02. But diving into the magma is not just about jumping in, as that would only cause the convection of the magma to carry you away. You need to be lowered down by a crane.

The crater suddenly became busy.

After Shinji Ikari waited boredly for a long time, the crane capable of bearing the weight of the EVA was finally ready.

Next.

The No. 2 unit will be lifted to the designated location through laser positioning.

At this time, fighter jets flew across the sky overhead, leaving a trail of flight traces. These had never been seen before in the battles with the apostles. After all, with the AT force field, they could not harm the apostles at all. No one knew what these fighter jets were doing here.

"what is that?"

Asuka noticed the fighter above her head.

Akagi Ritsuko's voice came from the communication channel, "The Air Force is on standby, and they will stay there until the end of this operation."

"Are you here to help us?"

Hearing Asuka's cute words, Ikari Shinji couldn't help but laugh in his heart. He thought that this could not be the case. The Angels were in the hot lava this time, and even Unit 2 had to wear protective clothing before going down. What else could these flying air forces do?

Is it possible to drop a bomb and flatten the entire volcano?
"No, they are not here to help, but to clean up the mess." Akagi Ritsuko said calmly as if she was talking about an irrelevant piece of news. "If the capture fails and EVA has not been able to eliminate the apostles, then use bombs to deal with the apostles and eliminate them along with everyone else."

Hear her words.

Even Shinji Ikari felt a little angry.

For a moment he wanted to swear.

But the swear words in Japanese sounded weak and powerless. If he spoke in other languages, no one would understand him. It was completely unable to express his current mood. He could only ask:
"Who gave this outrageous order?"

"It's Commander Ikari."

"..."

That bastard father hasn't done anything naughty for so long that he almost forgot about his existence.

Shinji Ikari was a little reluctant. You were about to kill the enemy, but suddenly a message came to tell you that if you failed, you and the enemy would be destroyed together with the bomb. Are you some kind of terrorists who want to die together? Although this is to avoid greater losses, who would insist on continuing to fight when they know that the rear is so stupid? He immediately said:
"In this case……"

"Don't worry, actually."

Predicting what he was going to say, Akagi Ritsuko said calmly, "With the AT force field and Unit-01, you will be fine, Shinji-kun."

Ikari Shinji: ...

Yes, Unit-01 also has an invincible AT force field.

He wondered if this stupid order was really given by that bastard father. That guy should also know about the existence of the AT force field, but it sounded like an order that could only be given by someone who had no understanding of EVA machines and Angels, and no understanding of the AT force field.

Or maybe someone wanted to capture the apostle but didn't want to take the risk, so they gave such an ignorant order?

but no matter.

Shinji Ikari would keep a note of this. Asuka, who was preparing to dive, was also shocked when she heard the news. They were just about to prepare for the battle, but the rear was thinking about destroying them all if they failed, and they didn't take the lives of the pilots seriously at all.

She felt relieved when she heard that there was an AT force field and she didn't have to worry about the bomb.

Apart from combat, the German lady has never cared much about other things. She is totally unlike Shinji Ikari who would have doubts.

Unit 2 began to enter the magma under the crater.

"Look, look, Shinji."

The pretty girl excitedly controlled Unit 2 to perform in front of him.
“——Step into the water!”

The fat Unit 2 made the move with great effort.

Shinji Ikari didn't see the splendor of this way of entering the water. It was just a simple step with both feet one forward and one backward.

Asuka, who had just completed her entry into the water, was feeling the environment in the magma.

It's so hot.

I feel like I'm sweating and a little sticky.

It's like standing in the sun without air conditioning. I really want to eat ice cream... She couldn't help but complain in the communication channel,
“It feels like taking a hot spring bath.”

"When you come back, you can go take a bath. I know a great hot spring. By the way, Shinji-kun and Rei can come with us then."

It was Misato Katsuragi's voice.

No one knew when the female captain appeared, but as soon as she appeared she said a lot of words full of flags.

——I don’t want to be with the top students.

Frowning, Asuka wanted to say something like this in a fit of anger, as long as Shinji goes with her to the hot spring, it's fine, and that top student should stay alone.

You can't be soft-hearted when dealing with your love rival.

But it seems that guy is alone on weekdays, with only Shinji by his side.

It's not that she can't be merciful and allow the top students to take a hot spring bath together. There's nothing she can do, Asuka thought, she is just so kind. Alas, people really can't be too perfect.

"Magma depth 500."

A report came from the communication channel.

Asuka collected her thoughts and looked around carefully.

The vision in the lava is basically zero. Unlike the previous fight with the fish angel, the vision in the sea is still clear, so if you have claustrophobia, you will definitely get sick. Thinking of what Shinji said before, don't try too hard and take care of yourself, she hesitated and decided to be a little less radical this time.

Well, slightly.

I don't know how much time passed, but it certainly wasn't five minutes.

"Depth 1400."

"We have reached the maximum depth. Do you want to continue diving?"

"Go on." The female captain took over the command temporarily, "Asuka, can you still hold on?"

"of course."

Asuka said unyieldingly.

She couldn't see anything clearly.

But in this situation, we just need to trust the laser positioning, and Shinji is watching on the ground. We can't fail in front of him. We have to prove it to him.

"Exceeded the maximum depth of 120."

"At depth 1780, an unformed apostle has been found."

"Open the capture device."

Unit 2 obediently activated the button, and in an instant something quickly unfolded in the magma, trapping it there like a coffin. There was a click, and the capture device seemed to have really caught something.

"Capture completed, start to float up."

Shinji Ikari, who was waiting bored on the ground, suddenly perked up.

It seems that Asuka completed the task well.

There was no accident this time.
