Kei Higashino slowly raised his head and turned into a streak of light and disappeared into the air.

Is the gap in hard power between the two sides so huge?

Misato Katsuragi stared blankly at the white trail left by the giant as it flew away. It took her a long time to come to her senses and she shouted in the combat channel.

"The operation is over. Sagami Bay needs a large number of medical personnel. Please send support as soon as possible from the Self-Defense Forces and NERV Headquarters."

……

Insert the plug dimly.

I don't know when the shaking and roaring outside ended.

Asuka curled up in the driver's seat, staring blankly at the dim joystick, and she didn't come back to her senses for a long time.

He was still muttering to himself, "I won't fail, I won't fail..."

And insert the plug outside.

Kei Higashino sensed Asuka's condition and sighed in his heart.

However, it was not unexpected for him that Asuka would be in such a situation.

After all, this tsundere princess came here with full confidence.

Unexpectedly, he suffered a disastrous defeat in the first battle.

It seems that he was hit hard.

Although Kei Higashino had been a teacher, he was limited to language teaching.

He is really not good at making excuses when it comes to psychological problems.

Only Shinji Ikari can come.

Just as Asuka was about to stand up and forcibly drive Unit 2 through the synchronization rate.

A voice reached her ears.

"Hello hello~ Is everyone inside okay? I'm going to open the door."

"Could it be that the matter of the monster is over? Was it done by the number one or the number three qualified person?"

Asuka was slightly stunned. She originally thought that she was going to die here. After all, when the monster outside bit the No. 2 machine's legs just now, the nerve synchronization transmitted could not be faked.

Although her heart was full of doubts at this moment.

But she is a strong-willed person, so it is impossible for her to reveal her inner self to outsiders.

So after hearing the inquiring voice coming from outside the plug, he immediately adjusted the expression on his face.

But how can I maintain my composure on the surface?

The phantom pain in her nerves still hurt Asuka, and her cheeks twitched involuntarily.

"You come in."

The bolted door is opened.

The glaring sunlight illuminates the environment inside the plug.

The moment I saw the uniform on Kei Higashino.

Asuka didn't reach out immediately, but asked, "Who dealt with the monster?"

"Is it Unit-00 or Unit-01?"

"Neither," Higashino Kei shook his head: "Give me your hand quickly, I'll take you down."

"Who is that?"

Asuka looked slightly stunned, but still extended her hand.

"It was made by a very handsome giant."

Kei Higashino reached out and grabbed Asuka, pulled her out of the plug, then carried her down the rope ladder that automatically extended downwards from the plug and landed on the edge of the cliff.

"A very handsome giant?"

Asuka didn't understand why the guy in front of her specifically emphasized that the giant was handsome.

But after hearing that the monster was not solved by Unit-00 and Unit-01.

Asuka immediately felt relieved, and the look of loss on her face disappeared.

"That's great... I knew it, Unit 2 couldn't even withstand the monster's attack, so how could the prototype and the test unit possibly be a match?"

Higashino Kei: “…”

Is this child so careless?

Asuka noticed the strange look in Higashino Kei's eyes, frowned and said with a hint of disdain:

"Uncle, I've taken advantage of you enough, please let me go."

Damn~ How does this little female ghost talk like that?

Never mind, never mind, she's just a child!

Kei Higashino curled the corners of his mouth, took a deep breath, and let go of Asuka's hand with a little silence.

Looking at the mess around and the insurmountable cliffs.

Asuka suddenly realized how much effort the person in front of her had put in to get here.

Thinking of the hurtful words she had just said, Asuka suddenly felt a little embarrassed, but the words took on a different meaning as soon as they came out of her mouth:

"Since you're the only one picking me up, uncle, please tell me your name."

Chapter 161 160 In the world of adults, there is only interest, no right or wrong

"..."

He even asked for his name, which made Kei Higashino laugh out of anger.

Even now, Asuka still hasn't realized how big a mistake she has made.

He disobeyed orders as soon as he arrived on the battlefield.

If he were a local, he would probably have been slapped in the face by now.

"Buzz~"

Hearing the unique engine sound of a patrol plane coming from below, Kei Higashino smiled.

"Uncle, what are you laughing at?"

Asuka was a little unhappy.

"If I laugh for a while, someone will get into trouble."

Kei Higashino looked at the cliff below with a dim gaze, and suddenly his expression was stunned. At this moment, he suddenly understood Ikari Gendō's plan.

The old guy Ikari Gendo obviously took advantage of Asuka's tsundere personality and used this to kill her and weaken her own team's strength, thus killing two birds with one stone.

Asuka: "???"

"Dongye, I'm here to pick you up,"

The patrol plane carrying Misato Katsuragi flew to the edge of the cliff.

"Long time no see, Misato,"

When Asuka saw Misato Katsuragi, she immediately greeted her with a smile.

However, to Asuka's surprise, when Katsuragi Misato saw her, her expression suddenly turned cold for some reason.

However, the current position of Kei Higashino and Asuka is already dangerous.

Misato Katsuragi didn't get angry immediately, but she didn't give Asuka a good look when facing her.

Asuka didn't understand why they all looked at her like this since it wasn't a good thing that she eliminated the apostles.

Wait for the patrol plane to arrive at the temporary camp.

The tragic condition of the surviving staff and the heavy atmosphere in the camp gave Asuka the answer.

Towards the afternoon.

The busy rescue work is over.

While waiting for the logistics personnel.

Misato Katsuragi took Asuka to a lounge at the transfer station.

"Captain Asuka, why didn't you change your landing direction as ordered?"

"Do you know how much disaster you brought to the people here when you landed in the camp?"

"I simply eliminated the apostles and landed according to the original battle plan..."

Asuka realized her mistake, lowered her head and dared not look at Misato Katsuragi, and her voice became lower and lower.

"Whoo~"

Looking at the girl in front of her, Misato Katsuragi suddenly realized that the girl in front of her was only a fourteen-year-old girl.

Even though Asuka brought disaster to the camp.

However, she used Unit 2 to eliminate the apostles and attract the hatred of the monsters, and accidentally avoided the risk of the Second Front Army being wiped out by the monsters.

From the perspective of a commander, Misato Katsuragi is very clear about the progress of the war and knows that it is impossible to complete it completely.

According to the battle plan, the Second Army's aircraft carrier battle group should have been completely wiped out, but Asuka attracted hatred and diverted the target, delaying the battle until the giant appeared.

However, the aircraft carrier battle group retained two aircraft carriers and six destroyers.

Moreover, even if the landing site was changed and the battle plan was re-formulated, Misato Katsuragi could not guarantee that the remaining ships of the aircraft carrier battle group would not be affected by the battle between monsters and apostles.

On the contrary, she knew very well that the greater possibility was that the entire aircraft carrier battle group was wiped out, without a single ship left.

This is reflected in the fact that the commander of the aircraft carrier fleet went to find her after getting off the ship to express his gratitude to Asuka.

It can be seen that Asuka made mistakes, but also made contributions.

But it is not good to be too harsh on a child.
