"Miri, you know some things are not our business."

"But I'm in charge of the battle! — Don't you know what the consequences will be?!"

"Of course I know." And I know more than you do now—you don't know about the Human Instrumentality Project, do you? "I'll keep an eye on it—Alas... I have a meeting this afternoon, too, and I don't know how to start it."

"I don't know how to write a battle report for the commander. Could it be that the pilot has problems due to some unknown drug? Ha, Shinji-kun scolded me yesterday..."

"Okay." Interrupting her bestie, Akagi Ritsuko continued, "I have a meeting this afternoon with the Senji Group. My biggest job yesterday was to keep the Senji Group researchers outside the cordon, just like what happened with the third apostle. You don't know how much I nearly lost my voice yelling at them last night!"

"..." It was understandable. Last time, it was the Operations Department who went to fight Zhan Zi's men for the Third Apostle's body. The two sides engaged in a long tussle. Zhan Zi claimed that even though he had no credit, he had worked hard, and even if he hadn't worked hard, he still had complaints—at least he deserved a share of the spoils—and that he could take the apostle's body back for research.

In the end, they didn't get a single hair because the UN represented by the American father said, "Go away and cool off!"

Zhan Zi immediately said: Okay!

But this time they are talking about conducting simultaneous research.

Ritsuko Akagi was battling all night yesterday: Don’t try to be an amateur and lead the experts.

"Ah..." Katsuragi Misato sighed, "This is indeed a bit difficult."

"Oh, by the way, I have something good to tell you."

"Huh? What's the matter?"

"You're getting a promotion, and it's not appropriate for a lieutenant to lead a colonel."

"Haha." Katsuragi Misato sneered and said, "Then where is Shinji-kun's reward?"

"The higher-ups are still researching it. Congratulations, you'll be a lieutenant colonel from now on."

"First Lieutenant? Ah, a promotion from a Lieutenant to a First Lieutenant, what a high rank."

A lieutenant is a colonel; a lieutenant is a captain.

"Stop complaining. It's good to have some promotion."

"This is absolutely humiliating—I'm taking credit away from a child!"

"Don't worry." Akagi Ritsuko took another cigarette and handed it to Katsuragi, but Katsuragi waved his hand to indicate that he wasn't that addicted. Ritsuko then lit it up and continued to blow out a puff of smoke, saying, "Shinji-kun is a Soviet, he has his own rewards. Oh, maybe the Americans and the War Self-Defense Forces will also be involved. Haha, as for snatching things from children... What, Shinji-kun helped you pay off your credit card? You're so tough?"

"He...he said he felt embarrassed to live in my house..."

"Haha, your housing was also allocated by NERV! If you have the ability, you can buy a 200-square-meter house in the center of Tokyo-3 with your own salary!"

"Woo..."

"It seems that although you were tired yesterday, your waist did become stronger. Someone is in the hospital. It didn't become weak last night, right?"

"Ahhh! Master, stop chanting! I have a meeting to attend. I'm leaving now!"

119 Kirishima: Do you think I'd just give it to you for free? ...Slurp!

Mental pollution.

Last week, he died in this place. It's the Ikari family tradition to die inside the plug rather than outside. Ah, Old Ikari was just an outsider who married into the family and changed his surname, but he's still somewhat related to the Ikari family. He didn't deserve to die inside the plug, so he'd just have to die next to the LCL.

Yui Ikari melted alive after being soaked in LCL, little Ikari was "broken" alive after being soaked in the plug last episode, and old Ikari was soaked to death next to the LCL last episode.

Ah, let’s not talk about the Ikari family’s special way of dying.

Shinji Ikari was prepared for mental pollution, but honestly it was like preparing yourself for getting shot.

Next, where was the blow? How severe was it? The physiological reaction to excessive blood loss—that wasn't something you could handle just by being mentally prepared. At best, you could avoid an undignified death. Resistance existed, so Ikari recovered quickly.

"So, Shinji-kun—do you still firmly believe in the inevitable failure of GCism?"

At noon, after a half-hour break, Akagi Ritsuko heard that Shinji Ikari's health indicators had "basically recovered." She immediately jumped out of the coffin! Staring into a pair of panda eyes, she came to Shinji Ikari's hospital room.

The beginning is a heart-wrenching statement.

What is true faith? If you curse the gods and Buddhas in front of your countrymen, they'll at best think you're poorly educated. If you curse Guan Yu, the Holy Emperor, in front of their countrymen, they'll instantly think you're morally corrupt. If you curse their ancestors in front of their countrymen—they'll instantly go into martial arts movie mode.

Anger represents faith. The angrier you are, the purer your faith is. It must be your faith that pierces your soul.

So Akagi Ritsuko thought that poking Ikari at the beginning was the best way to test it out. It doesn't matter if the method is old, as long as it works.

"No, dear, you are wrong. - Because..." The following three hundred words are omitted.

"...Okay, reason has regained the high ground of wisdom." Ritsuko Akagi looked at the test sample report in her hand, and then personally used the optical instrument to shine a light into the eyes of the beautiful boy in front of her.

The scent of a mature woman hit me in the face, as did her curves that were no less impressive than Katsuragi's.

The stepmother's breath blew gently over Xiao Ikari's face, and Xiao Ikari couldn't help but raise his nose to smell it.

Even Ritsuko Akagi was a little surprised.

"It tastes so good." Xiao Ikari took a deep breath. Seeing Akagi Ritsuko's expression of astonishment—"I'm being teased by my godson?"—he said anxiously, "Sister Ritsuko, can you give me a cigarette? Honey, please!"

"..." Kono, damn it! So that's what he meant? Indeed, she'd smoked two packs of cigarettes in one night, and the overtime had driven her to ecstasy. The battle with Zhan Zi's idiot had even made her feel like she was in heaven. Now, hearing her (future) adopted son say that, she exploded to the extreme!

"Pa." A slap landed on the beautiful boy's eight-pack abs.

"Hiss!" Shinji Ikari bared his teeth in an instant, and his whole body looked like he was stabbed.

"There are still some residues." You teased your (future) stepmother! Akagi Ritsuko looked at the beautiful young (future) stepmother in front of her who also let out a breath of foul air, and immediately started the training of the (future) stepmother of bliss: "Your mental pollution is not so easy to clean. Although I don't know why... Is your physical fitness too strong? Your mental ability too strong? But in the future, you are forbidden to do so... Oh, to use your words, you are forbidden to be so "individualistic"! - Did you see it? Did you feel it? It feels like there is a hole in your stomach? - The pain transmitted to you by EVA is still there, even after the insertion plug is removed, which means that your spirit has been severely eroded. The reason why it has not manifested in the flesh is because you haven't reached that stage yet! If EVA has a hole in its stomach, and you also have a hole in your stomach - then you will be close to death!"

"Yes... yes, dear." Little Ikari grinned and nodded repeatedly, his PTSD about to strike again. He could only say like a little bottom: "Dear Sister Ritsuko, please don't be angry, please don't be angry, I was wrong, I was wrong, isn't that enough? - I won't dare to do it again."

"...Humph." You see, that Chengcheng is such a loser! He's pinned down by this beautiful boy in front of him and gets fucked every day - and now, my godson doesn't even dare to get angry in front of me!

"You can be discharged now." After taking a final look at the various pathology reports, Akagi Ritsuko removed her gold-rimmed glasses and said seriously, "Listen, Shinji-kun! You are no longer alone! I believe you know what this means. In the past, whether on the front lines or elsewhere, you were trapped in a life of inertia—but now you have people who love you by your side..."

She lowered her voice. In this ward, there was only the stunning stepmother in a white coat, black stockings and high heels, and the handsome stepson with his upper body naked and his abdominal muscles caressed: "Don't make Katsuragi sad."

Generally speaking, Ritsuko Akagi is a rationalist, an absolute rationalist.

"Yes, dear Ritsuko-sister." Ikari Shinji nodded and said, "I won't make her sad, I won't let her cry... Then Ritsuko-sister..."

"Well, go get an IV, take your medicine, and you can be discharged. Relax for a few days. You don't need to come to work at NERV tomorrow." Ritsuko Akagi made a very intimate gesture, which honestly surprised Ritsuko herself. She gently patted the head of the little bottom in front of her with the medical record in her hand: "Well, I'll take my leave now."

"Ritsuko-sama!"

"? What else? Ah, Katsuragi is on duty tonight, so I can't come back..."

"No, it seems you've been working so hard—please take care of yourself. Your health is the capital of revolution."

"..." For more than ten years, I've never heard your father say anything like "drink more hot water": "Stupid, of course I know, don't meddle in adults' affairs... Hehe, maybe I'm not qualified to say that."

Akagi Ritsuko felt a little better after working overtime, as she touched her short black hair that she had dyed back. But after leaving the ward, she couldn't be happy anymore when she looked at the medical records in her hand.

"..." What are we doing? What have we done? How far do we have to go? ... Her thoughts began to waver again, beyond her rational thinking. But she was immediately pulled back into cold rationality.

Rationalism is the coldest of all. Absolute rationality can even represent absolute cruelty.

"Maya."

"Senior?"

"Go, double this value." Ritsuko Akagi picked up a pen and wrote x2 behind a certain medicine in the infusion injected into Shinji Ikari.

"?! Senior, if that's the case..." Maya Ibuki, a true disciple of Ritsuko Akagi, was surprised at the first glance! - Are you trying to feed an elephant? Even if Teacher Yu Qian's father in the crosstalk came here, he wouldn't be able to withstand this dosage.

"...We are all the cruelest trash adults." Akagi Ritsuko calmly evaluated herself: "If Ikari Shinji-kun wants to blame someone, then blame me... Go ahead."

"...Yes, Senpai."

About three minutes later, Maya Ibuki came over pushing a medicine cart - all the medicines in it were absolutely confidential drugs.

"Take this after every meal. Take this at the same time every day. Oh, and wear this on you at all times. If you feel unwell, take it immediately... Oh, and also carry this on you at all times. This is for when you feel extremely unwell, take an injection."

"?" I'm only just beating Xiao Si, and I'm going to use all this stuff?! Last week wasn't this bad! "Uh... is it really that serious? So much? Are you going to eat it?"

"Very important." The pretty girl with short hair looked at Ikari with a serious expression, and then began to prepare medicine in front of Ikari: "Remember, Shinji-kun! You are very important to us - not just because you are the third most suitable candidate..."

I thought about how Shinji Ikari immediately pressed me and my senior under him to protect me.

Maya Ibuki's hand stopped at the prescription for "x2" while she was preparing the medicine.

Just like Hua Tuo, my hands were shaking as I began to perform the surgery.

"Thank you, Maya-san." Little Ikari showed a bright and harmless smile. The handsome boy was so cheerful, yet so determined. He said: "Don't worry, I know - because I also vowed to fight for the liberation of mankind for the rest of my life... Similarly, I have comrades and friends in NERV. Haha, for you, how could I die so easily? I have to apply for work injury~"

At least you have to give it the final push.

"..." Maya Ibuki cursed herself in her mind as a piece of trash. Her hands were shaking as she took action - I, trash.

"Shinji-kun."

"? Sister Maya?"

"Come on, but it doesn't matter if you don't. If things get tough in the critical moment, there are others you can rely on. NERV exists for this reason—I'll let you in on a little secret. Unit 00 has been repaired, and Unit 2 is on its way. There are other EVAs in other branches too." Maya Ibuki saw that there was no one around and didn't care about NERV's management regulations. She immediately lowered her voice and said to Ikari, "You don't need to work so hard. Ah, these medicines. You don't need to take them unless you feel uncomfortable."

“…”Are you so conscientious?

You are worthy of it, Sister Maya.

"Okay, Sister Maya." Shinji Ikari said to the rare kind person in NERV from the bottom of his heart: "You are so kind, you are so beautiful."

"...Don't joke with adults! Take your hand out!" Unaware that Shinji Ikari was driving a car older than her, and unsure if she understood, Maya Ibuki blushed and grabbed Shinji Ikari's hand. Then she inserted the needle.

“Ouch!——”

"Wrong puncture, try again!——" Humph!

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

Shinji Ikari was covered in wounds—mental trauma that had spread to the flesh. Physical injuries were minor; the contamination from the Angels was the bigger issue. Wearing a hospital gown, Shinji Ikari was discharged straight from the hospital. To emulate Ayanami, who was related to his own mother, Ikari even cosplayed in a bandage outfit.

The smell of various drugs for treating mental pollution wafted from his body.

Ikari was discharged from the hospital with the IV drip in hand. The hospital didn't stop him. After leaving NERV, Ikari planned to go back to Katsuragi's house first—Katsuragi wasn't home tonight.

"Dear Davarishi!"

But there are other big cars!

"? Dear Davarishi, Colonel Maria?" Xiao Ikari found the deputy military attaché of the Soviet Embassy in Japan at his doorstep.

The right hand with the IV drip quickly saluted.

"No, no, no, don't do that, Davarishi—" The other staff members nearby took a picture of Ikari saluting. Maria walked over and gave Ikari a gentle hug.

Oh, come on, she's still so soft and tender in her military uniform, as elastic as Katsuragi. She looks quite old, but her skin is so good, without any white pig hair. She must be very attentive to her skincare routine, right? She doesn't look like a swallow, does she?

"Thank you for your hard work for the liberation of all mankind, dear Davarish." She called me Davarish, so I couldn't help but give her some face: "On behalf of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union and all the Soviet people, I once again congratulate and thank you for your victory over the unidentified alien creatures, and convey Chairman Pavlov's praise and commendation for you."

"This is my fault, Davarishi Maria." Xiao Ikari nodded seriously, then said: "But please forgive me, I am now..."

"Yes, we know you need to rest. But there are some things we cannot avoid doing—we cannot let a true hero down." After gently kissing Ikari on both cheeks, Colonel Maria said politely, "We express our gratitude again and present you with the Order of Alexander Nevsky."

The Order of Alexander Nevsky is awarded to officers from platoon to division level for their bravery, decisiveness, and ability to lead a decisive battle, resulting in heavy losses for the enemy.

"Yes, this is my honor." Xiao Ikari nodded, the IV drip was not finished yet.

"Pah pah pah." There are obviously more people coming this time than last time.

It was obvious that they had broken through the numerous blockades, and the Soviet Union had invested heavily. Two or three other officers from the Soviet Embassy applauded, and a photographer quickly captured the awarding ceremony.

"Dear Comrade Ikari." Maria patted Shinji Ikari's shoulder, holding him with both hands affectionately. "Do you know? The news of your battle has spread throughout the Soviet Union."

The goal has been achieved! Zhan Zi, try to touch me again! Lao Ikari, try to trick me again! (It's easy to dodge an open attack, but it's hard to guard against an arrow from the dark)

"In the Soviet Union, you are a true national hero. We wanted to bring you countless letters from all over the Soviet Union. Countless mines and factories want to be named after you. A Hurricane-class nuclear submarine that is about to be launched will also be named after you!"

Okay, stop it, stop it, the keyboard is leaking all over.

"Yes, this is indeed my greatest honor." Xiao Ding nodded and said in a resolute voice: "I will continue to fight for the cause of communism and the happiness of the liberation of all mankind throughout my life!"

The video recording and photography never stopped.

At 7 pm Soviet time, the news broadcast, after the prelude of "Times · Forward", broadcast an interview with Shinji Ikari.

To be honest, Ikari never thought that his identity as a pilot was indeed blocked by the whole world.

I don't know why Hideaki Anno, a resident of Area 11, actually thinks the UN is superior to the Five Major Gangsters. You say SEELE infiltrated, maybe. But if you, SEELE, can control the UN, then you can also control the Five Permanent Members. If you can control the Five Permanent Members, why are you pretending? I'm laying it all out. I'm going to destroy all of humanity.

Anyone with even a basic understanding of international politics couldn't imagine such a setting that defied common sense. The UN organization NERV could be infiltrated by SEELE, and even the five major gangsters could be infiltrated by SEELE. But—how could the five major gangsters possibly listen to the UN? Let alone a UN-affiliated organization.

So let’s change it here for now.

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

"S-Shinji-kun...?"

After Shinji Ikari was awarded the medal, Maria wanted to treat him to some "hometown food", but Shinji Ikari refused, citing medical advice. When he was about to go upstairs to recuperate, he suddenly heard a familiar voice.
