EVA: Shinji Ikari Returns from the Dragon Clan

Chapter 95 93. Ayanami Rei: Thank you, Asuka

It's Shinji.

The purple-green machine grabbed the steel rope with one hand and grabbed the falling Unit 2 with the other.

Suddenly, a huge feeling of joy rushed up Asuka's throat, and she could hardly suppress the sound of joy in her throat. A girl in love met her lover who came to the rescue. Is there anything happier in the world than this? Asuka never thought that one day she would be happy because of Shinji's arrival during a battle.

In the previous battles, she was very unconvinced.

"Shinji! Why are you here?"

"I'm here to support."

"…Fool."

For some unknown reason, Asuka called out softly into the communication channel.

Shinji didn't understand her feelings at all.

How can you calm down in your relationship if he always comes to rescue her? This bad guy Shinji Ikari is a little too cunning. You have made up your mind to sort out your feelings for him, but he still tries to get close to you and treats you like a child. But even if he does this, you will not find him annoying, but only think that he is cunning and lovable.

I really want to hug you like we did before, she thought gloomily.

"Go up first."

Said Shinji Ikari.

It was really thrilling, Unit-01 almost missed the race.

When they arrived at this position, the Angel and Unit 2 were already tightly entangled together.

The eighth angel that suddenly hatched reminded people of the facehugger in the movie Alien in appearance, and its method of attack was also surprisingly consistent: face hugging. Shinji Ikari still remembered the feeling when watching the movie, which made people feel nauseous...but it still lacked a means of parasitism.

But it was clearly stunted.

Only the head was the size of a normal apostle, the rest of the body was like that of a deformed baby, pitifully small and completely harmless.

The only way to attack.

It's just opening its mouth full of sharp teeth and biting.

Too poor and weak.

Ikari Shinji thought that the smartest thing to do at this time was to escape from the battlefield and escape into the magma, waiting to grow into a complete form before invading again. But the apostles only had instincts and would fight without fear of death.

Waiting for Unit-01 to arrive.

What he saw was that the Eighth Angel, who had just been biting, stopped. He didn't know what method Asuka used to kill this apostle.

It let out a final roar and disappeared in the magma.

It should be over?

No matter how strange its attack methods were when it was fully formed, they have all disappeared now. The unformed apostle is completely free of the pressure from the previous apostles.

I can't beat your complete form.

Can’t I bully you, a little apostle in the fetal stage?
But at this moment, the steel rope of the crane above broke completely, and the fiery red body was falling down weakly. Unit 01 quickly followed it, otherwise if it continued like this, they would just die together.

He quickly grabbed Unit 2.

I just arrived at such a deep place. Although I saw the apostles disappear, I still don’t know the specific situation.

Just in case, Ikari Shinji asked to confirm:

"Destroyed?"

"Oh, that's right. This time I destroyed it all by myself. Do you know how powerful I am now?"

"Asuka is amazing."

He answered helplessly.

The German lady over there immediately became dissatisfied. She said in a sweet and innocent voice,

"Stupid Shinji, stop treating me like a child again."

"Feel sorry."

Shinji Ikari suddenly wanted to laugh.

The overhead crane starts.

The two machines were lifted up by the crane's steel ropes.

Inside the fiery red Unit 2, Asuka showed a pure smile.

Unlike previous times when Shinji Ikari came to the rescue, this time she defeated the Angel completely by herself - although it was an unfinished one, it was worth the girl's happiness. Even if Unit-01 was needed to bring Unit-02 up afterwards, defeating the Angel alone was a victory alone, and it was an achievement that could not be erased.

There were sounds of admiration coming from the communication channel.

Today was a big win for Asuka.

In the command room, Ritsuko Akagi was explaining the tactics just adopted by the German lady:
“It’s thermal expansion and contraction.”

"Pour the coolant in the EVA into the Apostle's body through its mouth. The hot magma outside and the coolant inside it will create a huge temperature difference, completely destroying it from the inside out in an instant."

Physics the easy way.

After listening to this, Shinji Ikari thought this was a good idea.

If I encounter an apostle in a hot environment in the future, I can still try it again. However, the attack modes of the apostles I have encountered so far are not very different, so I guess I won’t have this opportunity anymore.

At this time, the voice of Urban Beauty came from the channel.

"It's finally over. Asuka did a great job this time. I'll take you to the hot springs later."

Katsuragi Misato said with a smile.

She glanced at her friend next to her. The blonde beauty saw that both machines were safe and sound, and her frown finally relaxed.
"Ritsuko, are you coming too?"

"I still have to work overtime."

Akagi Ritsuko refused mercilessly. The female captain shrugged cheerfully, indicating that she had not meant what she said just now, and then she started to call to reserve the location of the hot spring, which was a reward for the pilots who returned victoriously. Alas, Ritsuko couldn't go, so she would take her share of the hot spring.

A few hours later.

In the hot spring.

The sky slowly turned orange, and in the afterglow of dusk, you could still see the peaceful city in the distance.

The battle with the apostles has ended, and the three pilots have come to take a hot spring bath.

Really, even a rival who stayed in the back and couldn't even play has come. Asuka thought as she undressed in the locker room, revealing her fair, fresh, slender figure and her stunning beauty before the blade was sharpened, and she could still recall the battle scenes during the day.

Shinji...

If it's a bento,

Actually, you can also give it to someone who is not your boyfriend or girlfriend.
Asuka thought, Shinji had given her one before, so she could just consider it as a return gift from him.

She suppressed her restless thoughts. The German lady was about to take off her underwear when she suddenly found someone staring at her. She felt creepy for a moment and got goose bumps all over her body. She immediately took a few steps back on the floor and looked over vigilantly.

Is an excellent student.

She was looking at herself.

People scare people, scare people to death.

Asuka was really scared. Why was he staring at her for no reason?

She stared back at him fiercely, but immediately felt guilty. Because when those red eyes stared at you calmly, you would immediately think of the ghost movies you watched late at night, those things that suddenly appeared in the corners and messed up their positions, those eyes that peeped into your life through the window cracks, under the bed, and by the door, which could make people shudder.

Stop looking at me like that...

But the top student seemed to have something to say to himself.

Asuka thought this was rare. She had tried to talk to him when she first came to Japan, but he ignored her, and their relationship became bad. Later, it was because of EVA's driving, Shinji, and especially the slap in the elevator. In short, the two of them are now incompatible... Although this may be Asuka's one-sided opinion.

"What?" she asked.

"Thank you."

The beautiful girl whispered.

Asuka frowned. She would not take all the credit for herself. The German lady was very clear about gratitude and resentment.
"Humph, it was Misato who invited you to the hot spring, so go thank her if you want to."

Ayanami Rei shook her head.

If she wasn't grateful for this, then what else could it be? Asuka couldn't help but become curious.

The beautiful girl with red eyes continued:
"Thank you for defeating the apostle. Ikari-kun doesn't need to face danger."

A vein popped up on Asuka's forehead.

what's up!
This love rival's tone is extremely annoying.

Why do you feel like you are Shinji's girlfriend? She is obviously... the ex-girlfriend is also a girlfriend. But the red-eyed girl's face was full of seriousness, and it was obvious that she was not here to mock. Asuka couldn't help but feel angry and amused for a moment. What? Doesn't this make her look narrow-minded? She had previously thought about not letting her rival take a hot spring bath together.

"Huh, you're an idiot too."

The pretty girl pouted and turned away.

She continued to take off her underwear, and Rei Ayanami also took off all her clothes.

The two looked at each other naked.

Asuka was stunned.

Her figure seems to be better than mine.

Damn it, we are the same age, how did he do it? Asuka took a sneak peek and clenched her fists. She felt that she was a little inferior in this aspect, but she was European and would soon catch up with the top students. Then she would definitely surprise Shinji.

And this guy has too little hair on his body.

Is this the advantage of Asians?

It's all Misato's fault anyway.

Before, I only fed myself with fast food, which was not nutritious at all. The German lady thought, it seems that I will have to cook for myself in the future. Nutrition cannot be neglected during the growth period. If I can grow taller than Shinji, I can use my height to bully him.

"You two aren't ready yet? Come and take a bath."

Misato Katsuragi was already soaking in the hot spring in a hurry. While enjoying the hot spring, she was urging loudly outside.

"Here we go, Misato."

Asuka responded cheerfully.

Hot springs.

She was looking forward to this very much. She heard that the characteristic of Japan is hot springs. She had only taken a few baths in hot springs in Germany and didn't know what the difference was between the hot springs in the two places.

And looking at Asuka's smooth back.

Ayanami Rei, who was following quietly from behind, suddenly said:
"Don't worry about me. Ikari-kun and I won't reach that day."

Until the wedding day.

That's something only a normal girl could do with Ikari-kun.

At that moment, Asuka thought she had misheard something. She stopped and looked back with her beautiful eyes in confusion. Was this her rival surrendering? That would be the best. You should just keep your distance from Shinji in the future. You two should not walk together every day. She gets super angry every time she sees the two of you walking together.

But Asuka always felt that these words were filled with sadness.
"Hey, what do you mean?"

She didn't respond.

Rei Ayanami just walked forward.

It’s time to take a hot spring bath.
