"Bang!" Asuka's kick went astray, landing on Shinji Ikari's thigh. The 10-year-old, fresh from an 800-meter sprint, felt his legs limp, let alone his arms. Now, having just caught his breath and flushed, the young boy was no longer the intrepid EVA pilot he once was. Though he had managed to block a crucial kick, Asuka's kick to the thigh sent him reeling back several steps in excruciating pain.

"Pervert, pervert! H! It turns out that Japanese boys, no matter how young they are, are..." followed by a bunch of national discrimination words.

I don't like to hear this. Although we often insult Japanese men as "juice boys", elementary school boys who look like Ikari obviously belong to the dirty category. If you don't believe me, open the search bar and take a look. Basically, they are all playing the role of "submissive".

"Stop... stop it!" A tiger roared, a 10-year-old tiger cub, of course. Ikari Shinji's exasperated look actually startled Asuka, who immediately wanted to kick him.

It's really hard to deal with a beautiful girl who looks pretty and slender on the outside but actually has a female Tyrannosaurus Rex hidden inside her. In fact, his mother Ikari Yui is also this type, and she is terrifying when she goes berserk.

"Look over there!" Ikari grabbed her cheek, and she subconsciously tried to struggle—but it was clear that light was faster than humans. Sunlight beamed down across the Earth, and the reflection of the distant tsunami refracted through the lens onto the retina, then transmitted via nerves to the brain—in that instant, the 10-year-old girl was stunned.

"This is……"

"Tsunami, you're so smart, you should know what to do, right? The earthquake just now was caused by something at least ten meters high." Ikari Shinji took his hand away from Asuka's chin, turned it over and grabbed Asuka's hand: "I'm so unlucky that I have to tell someone like you to run away - run! If you don't run now, you'll die!"

"Eh?! I..."

Asuka, who grew up in a peaceful environment, is not good enough.

That's right, since I didn't need to perform EVA as a child, I didn't receive any special physical training. I also didn't experience my mother hanging herself when I was young, so naturally my mental strength wasn't that strong. I also didn't experience the attack of the Angels, and I was only 10 years old.

So, it's said that Heaven will bestow a great responsibility upon Asuka. She must first divorce her father and drive her mother insane. She must also take Kaji away, useless Shinji, reduce the synchronization rate, dismember the mass-produced units, and disrupt her actions. This is how she must be moved, patient, and increase her abilities.

Seeing the raging tsunami approaching, a 10-year-old girl who had never experienced anything like the above would, of course, be... extremely scared.

"Am I...going to die?" The only constant is her fundamental attribute—intelligence. The problem is, sometimes smart people are just too smart. Asuka taught herself high school courses at ten, so she's well aware of what a tsunami is. Her emotional intelligence might be subpar, but her IQ is maxed out! Asuka's mind instantly raced back to the 1978 tsunami, which killed less than 30% of the 10,000 people who made it to adulthood, while the children were practically wiped out. The 1992 Nicaraguan tsunami instantly killed 2500 people on shore. The 2004 Indian Ocean tsunami, which killed over 150,000 people.

...The path is wrong, and the more knowledge one has, the more reactionary one becomes.

"Run away first! You want to die? I'm not dead yet, so why should I give you a chance?" This was his promise, and in theory, he had kept it. Ikari Shinji had no idea how the situation would unfold; he only knew Asuka was right before him. Seeing her completely limp, Ikari felt that after a few more training sessions, she would return to the majestic, proud female warrior he had imagined.

But you have to get through this level first, otherwise there will be no future.

All this conversation took place in less than half a minute, but the waves had already moved much closer. Seeing that the other person had temporarily lost his ability to move, Xiao Ikari decided to be rude. A princess carry was out of the question, and carrying a sack...it could easily kill someone. Xiao Ikari simply yanked the other person up and carried him on his back.

"Ah?! What are you going to do…"

"What to do? Do what love does——Okay, shut up."

It was a race, exciting, but not thrilling at all. What's the big deal about running 800 meters with a 10-year-old girl on your back? - Of course, actually running to the terrace, to the upper floors, to the hotel, and then upstairs again is another story.

Instead of arriving at the last possible second, Ikari actually arrived more than a minute later. Furthermore, the initial impact didn't strike the building, but instead slammed into some low, old buildings ahead. Ikari ran to the seventh floor, carrying Asuka on his back. It was far more tiring than delivering a package.

Hell~~ Isn't it just a race against a tsunami, and I lost? I've lost to the Earth before, so this is nothing.

Shinji Ikari doesn't take this seriously.

What's the big deal? It's just a tsunami.

Chapter 6 Tied to Shinji

"Waaaaaaaaaaaa!!!—" The elementary school students were all crying, after all, they were not the same age. Xiao Ding was in sixth grade, and there were those who had just started school. You were almost puberty, and there were those who were breastfeeding. There were a lot of tourists, and the adults were trembling before the might of nature, let alone a group of children. On the top floor of the seven-story hotel, everyone witnessed the tsunami's devastating impact, and...

There had been three major tsunamis, with many more to come. All that remained was to wait for the rescuers to arrive. Communications were down, water supplies were cut off, and food was being rationed—everyone began to panic.

Life here is quite exciting.

It might be Ikari who doesn't take the tsunami seriously.

Think about it, the first time I met Ming Ri in my previous life was also in the sea... She is really a woman in the water business.

"Shinji..."

When Xiao Ding first came upstairs, his expression was really comparable:

Emiya Shirou, holding Altria in his arms, races for his life against the Castle of Love; Echizen Ryoma, defeated and enlightened to Ashura, becomes a murderous tennis player; Ozora Tsubasa, thirty heads crippled, a determined player, performs a bicycle kick in second gear; Yamu Yucha, the protagonist becomes a supporting role, a loser and a cuckold.

He was in such a rush, with a pale face, murderous intent, and almost disabled, and yet he acted out the scene of the prince saving the princess, which naturally made people envy, jealous and hate him.

Shinji's classmate A suddenly felt that Ikari was something special, so when Ikari was gasping for breath and nearly died, he came to help take care of his friend. In a sense, this was a key supporting role. Although such key supporting roles usually stopped after elementary school.

"Didn't you say you weren't interested in Asuka?" You see, after everything was settled, the ordinary people's awareness, bravery, wisdom, and so on were all revealed: "This good opportunity can be left to me. Look, I'm a fast runner and half a head taller than you. If I carry Asuka, I'll definitely be back faster, right? Next time there's a good opportunity, leave it to me."

"...That makes sense." Ikari thought for a moment. Running against a tsunami would be quite a challenge. This task should be assigned to classmate A. Asuka probably needs to learn freestyle swimming, diving, and reincarnation right now. But since the other person said that, Ikari immediately responded, "Ah, right, right, you're absolutely right. I felt the same way. Weren't we too impatient back then? Next time I get that chance, I promise I'll give it to you... Whew."

It's truly remarkable that an elementary school student could maintain such excellent physical fitness. It made Ikari wonder if he'd just been transported to another world. But considering he'd just been exhausted, and now he was sprawled on the ground like a dead dog, it took him ten minutes to finally recover. Well, an elementary school student's physique is truly remarkable. If it were an adult, they'd probably be dead, let alone recover.

"Is there anything to eat? I suddenly feel very hungry."

"Yes, yes, yes, the teacher said it's best not to eat or drink too much, otherwise it will be bad for your health..." The good baby is in muttering mode.

"Give it to me, I'll show you a magic trick." Xiao Ikari was delighted. In an instant, a bottle of mineral water turned into an empty one. After a long sigh, Xiao Ikari finally stood up. His heroic act just now hadn't been seen or praised by many. It was really... at least give him the title of an outstanding Young Pioneer, right?

"Ahhh!--"

From the very beginning, the well-educated, refined, gentle, and refined Japanese people around me—these people—had been letting out a constant stream of exclamations and even screams. The tsunami had been coming for ten minutes, but everyone still delighted in the occasional crescendo of exclamations. Some girls even burst into tears—whether feigned or genuine, trying to show weakness or genuinely terrified.

Some traditional wooden houses along the coast were completely destroyed. Boats in the harbor were washed atop sturdy concrete buildings, leaving both sides battered and bloodied. Cars and their drivers, unable to leave in time, began drifting, potentially endangering themselves. Sturdy wooden houses were even being pushed along by the waves, twisting and turning 360 degrees sideways. Even more terrifying, several oil tankers exploded in the distance! Burning oil drifted on the sea, creating a bizarre scene of ice and fire, like the end of the world.

If there were two more people floating in the middle...tsk tsk.

Some women cried and some men vomited.

Ikari sighed.

It's tragic, the death toll seems to be over 30,000—but compared to the apostles, that pales in comparison. Later, the people of the Third New Tokyo were completely displaced, and the second wave of sea level rises every now and then. I don't know if the third wave is coming, but if it does... well, that won't just be solved by global heat and cold sharing like the second wave did—not bad, huh?

In short, the sea water instantly submerged everything around. The observation deck where I was standing was also completely submerged. Fortunately, only the top four floors of the seven-story hotel were not flooded.

"What will happen to my father and mother..." Student A was confused.

"Don't worry, Ryuji - good things will come to those who are lucky." Xiao Ikari is now in a very stable state of mind.

My mother had already agreed to go back to her parents' home several days ago. Ikari Yui's parents' home is in Aichi Prefecture, which is quite a distance from the northeast of District 11. It's not my turn to worry at all. Ikari Yui is lucky enough not to worry about me. "When we can get in touch with each other, we will contact the parents. Don't worry, those who survive a disaster will surely have good fortune in the future."

Although Xiao Ding said soothing words, the people present were feeling more and more depressed.

I escaped, but with such a massive tsunami—who knows what happened to my family? Those who survive a disaster are sure to be blessed later. There's also a saying that goes, "Good fortune never comes alone, and misfortune never comes singly."

"Um..." After struggling for a long time, Classmate A said in a voice even more painful than when he just said "parents": "Shinji-kun, Asuka said that if you recover, she wants to see you first... maybe to express her gratitude, right?"

"No, no, it's my duty. Hey, who doesn't get anxious sometimes in this world? No need." Xiao Ding said it was nothing. "I'm still tired now. Keep in touch when you return to the United States. Bye, bye."

Xiao Ding frowned, feeling that things were not simple - it was all said.

The Asuka of this time and space has never experienced her mother's death or mental pollution, so her mental state is very healthy, even a little too healthy. Simply put, she is arrogant and tsundere for no reason. It seems that no matter what world she is in, this is her personality, and it has nothing to do with the disaster she suffered as a child.

Chapter 7 The reason why Tsundere retreated from the environment

So if the personality is twisted, it must be innate! Xiao Ikari always thought that the other party was a good comrade, but if he wanted to find a wife, he would rather find someone like Ayanami who has a blank expression.

What a nice girl, and she has no mouth!

"Didn't you say you'd go back to America to get a higher education after junior high?" Little Ikari patted the other person's shoulder and said in a very sunny and warm manner, "People are destined to be different. People are divided into different classes, and meat is divided into different layers. Some people are born to be Romans, while others are born to be cattle and horses. Asuka was born with a winner. I suggest that you and I don't be like a toad wanting to eat swan meat, or refuse the courtesy given. Class attributes determine everything. Whether you are close or not is a class difference. Huh... Come on, help me up. We can't stay here for long in this troubled place."

This Asuka is not my Asuka.

The more similar we look, the more uncomfortable I feel.

--------------------------

There are many ways women evaluate men. Some women like looks, others like money. It's undeniable that some women even enjoy being with crossdressers and even film crossdressing videos with their husbands. Of course, some women use the rather strange term "masculinity" when evaluating men.

When it comes to evaluating a man's basic attributes, Soryu Asuka Langley says: He must be manly!

What is masculinity? This is a very interesting question.

Of course, this 10-year-old girl didn't know this manly thing, otherwise, a man would be shot in ten minutes and mortgaged for five years! But in the dim light, Asuka felt that a man should be mature—what kind of maturity is hard to define, but generally speaking, he should be witty, humorous, romantic, and responsible. Heroism and romance are all indispensable.

If the scene just now with Shinji Ikari was not that of a man, then there would be no men in this world.

In this world line, there is no EVA, no apostles, no chance to drive a robot to fight monsters, and no bloody heroes saving beauties.

Asuka feels that Shinji Ikari is her true knight - but this knight seems to be a little discriminatory towards her.

"Ikari Shinji!—Why don't you come see me!"

That evening, Ikari Shinji had just seen off the principal, who had come to ask about his well-being. The principal had taken the opportunity to report his story to the imperial court, hoping to receive a certificate of merit so that District 11 could hasten the funeral and celebration. Ikari Shinji said it didn't matter whether the story was reported or not, as long as the money was in.

For this [Little Hero], the people of District 11 have shown their excellent spirit—

Shoot a video and post it on YouTube.

Shinji Ikari hated this and refused to cooperate—he fled at lightning speed, claiming he was feeling unwell. Little did he know that while he was gasping for air like a dead dog, everyone had already filmed and uploaded this heroic young man, struggling to breathe through the long sprint, to YouTube. Little Ikari, feeling annoyed, grabbed some food and water and went to a corner room in the flooded, bewildered building to fish.

Well... the tsunami is coming, so technically there is no need to go to school tomorrow.

The power supply was cut off, the sun was setting, and Shinji Ikari was reading the comics given to him with the flashlight he was given, when suddenly his door was kicked open.

"...Huh?!" Xiao Ding was stunned for a long time, not knowing what was going on. He glanced at the door - Classmate A made an apology gesture with one hand upright, then turned around and Run... Got it! Good boy, you brought the American emperor here!

"Ah, Asuka... classmate. Hello, hello, it's been a while. I see you've recovered. Seeing you back to health is truly wonderful..."

Xiao Ikari showed a sunny business smile.

At the beginning, Ikari used this kind of smile to deal with Katsuragi. The person in front of him was a shameless 29-year-old shota-con queen, so it was quite easy to deal with her.

"I..." Seeing how much Ikari cared about her, the young girl, young and ignorant, quickly fell for him. Her face flushed, a rare and precious shyness rising. She was so embarrassed that she couldn't even be proud anymore, only a little bit of coquettishness remained. "I'm fine... I came here specially to say thank you... to say: danke! Ich danke dir!!"

Hey, I can't understand if you cut off my mother tongue? You're still a little immature, little tsundere, I... huh?

"It's okay. Helping others is the root of happiness." Xiao Ikari sat up from the tatami, but stepped back a little: "It's just a small matter, you don't have to take it to heart..."

"The Japanese are just too modest, which makes them look so hypocritical."

Bang! The door closed, and Asuka snorted as she entered the darkened room Ikari Shinji had finally found. It was truly a relief that Asuka-sama, for whom the world revolved, had condescended to stay with him.

"Well." The little butt sat down next to Shinji Ikari. He's ten years old and still doesn't know that boys and girls should sit separately after the age of seven? Don't elementary school students need to be more careful about the impact? Although he'll be 11 soon, but you... "Shinji-kun—ah, the honorifics between Japanese people are so strange, I'll just call you Shinji. Then, you can call me Asuka."

"..." Is that so direct? In my previous life, when I was with you for a year, you never spoke to me in such a sweet tone. I... was actually a little touched. Is this the normal version of Asuka? Love it. Not a crazy bitch, that's awesome. "Okay, Asuka."

If this Asuka is in good spirits...

Shinji Ikari almost opened his heart to Asuka...

"Eh!"

Yes! As a German-American with a quarter Japanese ancestry, Asuka said that of course she knew that people in District 11 only call each other by their first names when they are close friends. A surname plus a title is usually enough, so she muddled through the guise of a foreigner and made a connection. As smart as this lady is—

"Shinji—ahem, looking at your weak and effeminate appearance, I never thought you could run so fast with me on your back—you must have practiced for this scene for a long time, right? Idiot?"

Why am I so dumb with my mouth?!

"..." It seems that this Asuka is mentally normal, but her mouth is still not normal. Shinji sighed secretly in his heart and closed the door that was about to open to Asuka again -

The small latch was inserted, the large lock was attached to the chain, eighteen wooden bolts were placed horizontally, and the iron door was closed thirty times! "Ah, yes, yes, yes, yes - Miss Asuka really has a unique vision and foresight. She is worthy of being a genius girl, so smart, Asuka."

Chapter 8: That is my lost youth (Physics)

Maybe a 10-year-old American girl doesn’t understand what being sarcastic means.

After being flattered by Shinji, I subconsciously listened to the second half of the praise.

Ikari thought he really liked Asuka, but it ultimately ended in vain... well, it ended in vain, so it seemed like nothing came of it. Considering that as long as he liked Asuka, he would be a serious lolita fan, so he concluded that he was about to make a decision that went against his ancestors.

There are many reasons why I like Asuka.

Proud, handsome, beautiful—self-reliant, confident, endearing, and so on. But that was the previous Asuka. The previous Asuka shared the joy of success with me, and the pain of failure with me—honestly, this girl truly embodies those four words: a heart higher than the sky! A girl who lives for her heart!

How could such brilliance not attract moths to a flame? Unfortunately, precisely because of this, his ambitions were as high as the sky, but his life was as fragile as paper. He ultimately suffered a mental breakdown, and even after recovering, he seemed even more arrogant and unapproachable. Basically, it was destined to be terrible.

——Basically, it's during the battle... no, it's during the life-or-death struggle that strange emotions arise. Hmm, is it a suspension bridge effect?

Of course, he wasn't hung up in the end. Why would he be hung up when he's already dead?

The Asuka in front of me looks just like Asuka.

This isn't the Asuka that belongs to me.

It wasn't the Asuka who sat screaming in the plug—so, the more similar they looked, the more uncomfortable it was to watch. The more similar their temperaments were, the more explosive their emotions became. The more they interacted, the stronger this strange sense of alienation became.

"Of course~" The American girl, whose emotional intelligence wasn't very high, shook her waist-length hair handsomely before saying to Xiao Ding: "Hey, my dad is the general agent of a multinational company in Japan. He's very powerful. Do you want to go to school in the United States in the future? - Don't thank me, just consider this as my thanks to you."

"Ah, that's not necessary." Xiao Ikari replied calmly.

"...Is it because you don't know English? I can teach you. Oh, and by the way—don't worry about the paperwork, my dad is very capable."

In this world, Asuka seems to have a very good impression of her father, right? By the way, did you know your father is a scumbag? Your mother is old and fading, and I think she's in danger.

"No." Little Ikari shook his head. His English was indeed weak—you want me to go to America? You might as well let me return to China... Doesn't that make sense? Think about it, if this pandemic hits, District 11 might be wiped out in a single wave, and in America, it's even more of a random death function. I've got something to aspire to. I'll take Ikari and the whole family back to China before the pandemic!

There are less than eight years left...this is my own eight-year battle.
