Shinji Ikari, the pilot of Unit-01 during the Spirit Awakening Era

"Why would you make such a request?" Ritsuko Akagi shook her head. As a rare experimental subject, how could the data not be preserved?

"This concerns the Spirit World. This is an order I just received. These guys have been without any progress for so long, and they come up with such a forceful order right away." Shinji Ikari himself was also surprised that the Spirit World would value one person so much.

"This is truly astonishing, the spirit world... I thought..."

"Don't think that things will only get worse later..."

"So you're really going to do it?"

"We've long since run out of options, haven't we?"

Chapter 190 People from the Demon Realm

"Shut up! We all know what you mean by that!" Fengyuan Honganji looked at the demons in front of him with uncontrollable rage. Everyone knew that they maintained a dangerous balance with humans. Once this balance was broken, the other side would not hesitate to strike first and start slaughtering the other side. This would undoubtedly be the beginning of a full-scale war.

When humanity was at its weakest, monsters made attempts to control it, and even now, many countries are indirectly controlled by monsters. However, these native monsters share a few commonalities: First, monsters also enjoy the civilization established by humans. They need humans to live, and they are unwilling to destroy all of humanity and return to the ancient era of slash-and-burn agriculture!

Second, the human will to resist is terrifyingly strong. If forced killings are carried out, it will be like the idiots in South America. Although they may appear to be doing well on the surface, they are actually caught in a continuous war with guerrillas supported by major powers. Traitors are not putting in the effort, and all sorts of problems arise. The superficial glory cannot solve the fact that they suffer heavy casualties in reality.

The situation became even more serious after news of EVA's massacre of a large number of monsters spread. In some places, it was said that the monsters controlled the area, but amidst the daily explosions and shootings, the low-level monsters were like rats crossing the street, only daring to gather together after nightfall and not daring to go out alone to hunt.

In Japan, the power of yokai and humans is intertwined. Although lower-level yokai suffer heavy casualties at the mountain god festival, truly powerful yokai either escape completely from the start or have various means to save their lives. For example, the Mad Insect Honganji Temple escaped from the mountain god festival area through a pre-prepared cave, so it suffered virtually no losses.

"Have you been terrified by Morishita Yamato? Or by that brat from NERV?" A demon with four eyes stared at the mad Honganji before him. "If this continues, once you're pushed further and further back, and humanity truly adapts to this special era, what will become of you? Do I need to remind you?"

"Heh..." the cat spirit chuckled. "My thoughts are different from yours; you just want to use us." Setting down its tea, the cat spirit glanced sideways at the low-level demon. Because of the spirit world's barrier, powerful demons couldn't cross it. In the end, it was still the locals like them who had to fight against the Japanese authorities and the spirit world. It crossed its arms, a nonchalant expression on its face. "Such low-level rhetoric, don't embarrass yourself. Besides, you're not qualified to represent the demon world, are you? Subordinates of the Underworld."

"Don't push your luck." A strong man slammed his fist on the floor, his face full of anger. His outer garment was taut from his bulging muscles. The demons behind the mother ghost also began to exude powerful demonic energy. They only appeared to be of low level now. After all, it was inevitable that some of them would be weakened if they wanted to sneak over from the spirit world.

"Oh? You think we're being too kind to you?" Akane sneered. The claws it extended scratched several deep marks on the teacup in its hand, and its sharp canines began to slowly lengthen, while its demonic power also began to surge.

Regardless of what the monsters present were thinking, their shadows began to slowly lengthen, and their various true forms began to bare their fangs and claws on the ground. They had come as a whole today, and naturally, when threatened, they also began to erupt as a whole.

"Then... we just ask that you remain neutral when things happen, how about that?" The Four-Eyed Demon looked at them. Their strength had been weakened, and several of these native demons were difficult to deal with even in their prime, so now was not a good time to deal with them.

"Hey...you really think we're fools, that you'd be any smarter than us?" Fengyuan Honganji shook his head. Cooperate with you? Play with fire? Wait until you break in, and we'll be your dogs? It's better to maintain the status quo. What do they care how many of their underlings die?

"Our sincerity remains unchanged. If you have any ideas, please feel free to contact us." - Four-Eyed Ghost

“Yuzaki, I remember that’s what you called me.” A mischievous smile appeared on her face. “I can understand why you look down on the humans of this world. After all, the vast majority of them are so weak and ignorant. If you really think it’s that easy to do, then go ahead and do it.”

These demons are definitely not just at their current strength. They naturally know that, faced with the barrier set up by the spirit realm, the only way these guys can think of is to reduce their strength through self-harm and then sneak over. If they are unlucky and run into the spirit realm patrol team, then they are completely out of luck. So these guys must have some strange intentions, or rather, something they want to get.

Is the Countermeasures Bureau too weak to wield its sword? Or do they think the sorcerers are beneath them? Or has the Onmyoji Bureau become nothing more than a touristy dance troupe of young girls? As for the giant robot in Tokyo-3 and the terrifying power it unleashed during its attempt to fight, that's not it either.

"Understood," the demons nodded and stood up. "You've been given the choice. It will be too late to regret it later." The Four-Eyed Demon left with a harsh remark, then turned and led a group of demons away.

"I can only say that with this level of intelligence, they shouldn't come here and embarrass themselves." After watching the group leave, the Cat Master shook his head. After arriving on Earth, although someone was there to meet them, their actions were quickly noticed because of some unusual behavior.

"This matter has nothing to do with us. This time, your Countermeasures Bureau should be satisfied, right?" Fengyuan Honganji turned his head slightly, looking at a veiled girl and a hairy-looking man behind him.

"I can only say it's barely acceptable. After all, we don't know what choices you'll make later. Consider this a piece of advice: stay away from them, or don't say I didn't warn you when you get splattered with blood." Beneath the veil was the face of Izayama Yomi. The girl stood among a group of monsters, her eyes cold. Normally, these were their targets, but now they were kneeling here, listening to their nonsense!?

"Hey." Fengyuan Honganji chuckled. They called the Countermeasures Bureau, the toughest agency against demons and ghosts, here to avoid being accused of colluding. "Since neither side wants to see the other, let's leave it at that. Goodbye."

The reason they do this is quite simple. As mentioned before, they have already accepted this world and would prefer to maintain the current state where humans, out of fear of their power, grant them certain privileges but do not prevent them from living in this convenient world.

However, these demons from the Demon Realm are a completely different story. They don't care what happens to the human world; what they want is to completely conquer it. They have little interest in how the world is behaving; they just want to conquer it and turn all of humanity into something like "livestock."

This fundamentally conflicts with the interests and demands of the yokai, which is why they chose to stand against the demons. Of course, this doesn't mean the yokai will directly clash with the demons. After all, the demons were right about one thing: humanity is adapting to this era. A war between humans and demons, resulting in mutual destruction, would be the best outcome for them!

"Farewell!" Izayama Yomi stood up, turned and left, the others following her without hesitation. In this world, reputation is earned through battle; the strong naturally attract more followers and support. As Izayama Yomi gained fame through a series of events, her reputation within the Countermeasures Bureau grew ever stronger.

"That little girl is really tempting." A fox demon stared at the spot where Izayama Yomi had left and wiped his mouth.

"If you're so capable, then go for it!" Another person decisively started to stir things up, urging him to hurry up and die without hesitation. That person's sword had chopped off countless monster heads. If you're so eager to die, then go for it.

"Alright, let's not talk about this anymore. Stay alert these next few days. Demons... hey, they're not exactly law-abiding creatures." The cat shopkeeper interrupted the bunch of unreliable guys' nonsense. "They're not just looking for us. We already knew we just wanted to do business properly, but obviously some people don't think that way."

“What else could they think…heh.” Ringo chuckled. “Back then, they didn’t have the guts to face that guy directly, so they could only resort to tricks. They used demons back then, and the funny thing is, just when those demons had gone to great lengths to get over there, there was another holy light aura…tsk tsk, I don’t believe you if you say they didn’t have any ulterior motives.”

"So you think these idiots will be led to go and cause trouble for that jinx?" Ringo's words made Nekobozu stroke his chin. "That's really not good news."

"What's wrong?" Feng Yuan Honganji asked. "You seem to have some information now? Babem must have given you quite a bit of benefits."

“It has nothing to do with Babem.” The cat spirit shook his head. “I made a deal with a girl who was with that unlucky guy before, and sold her that dying dragon egg for twelve million.”

"Hahahaha... They actually bought it? It's only good for eating the egg! Ten million? You think you found money on the street?" A group of monsters paused for a moment, then burst into laughter. Yes, these were a group of self-proclaimed merchants; they had even organized a guild called the "Mysterious Mountain Guild." They naturally knew about the cat spirit's egg; they had even come up with quite a few ways to get it back then.

"The problem is... they didn't just keep the eggs alive until a few days ago, and then... it seems they did something else." The cat shopkeeper sighed. It's impossible for them not to have done something before selling them.

"..." Silence... Shock!

Chapter 191 Yakushiji Ryoko Blocking the Door

"Someone's coming out." From a distance, Miyuki, wielding a sniper rifle, looked through the scope at a seemingly ordinary mansion below. "They got into a Toyota Camry (this time we can't be wrong again)."

"Vehicle registration information is being retrieved." Lu Xi'an quickly brought up the screen and retrieved the data from the internal transportation system.

“The drone has completed tracking and locking,” Marian whispered on the other end. At an altitude of 300 meters, a drone was nimbly following. “Should we send the helicopter up?”

“Not for now.” Yakushiji Ryoko shook her head. “Those old men have been making too many harassing calls already. I don’t want to give them an opportunity.”

“The vehicle’s identity has been confirmed; it’s a vehicle owned by a family member. It took a bit of a detour.” Lucian scratched her face. She had gone through a lot of trouble on the Japanese internet before finally confirming the owner’s identity.

"The Countermeasures Bureau?" This was absolutely surprising news. Yakushiji Ryoko's lips curled up. Sure enough, there were no honest people in this era. Even the Countermeasures Bureau, which was previously considered stubborn to be the most obstinate, had started to play tricks. "Contact the Countermeasures Bureau and request information sharing. Tell them that if they don't tell us, we will launch a direct attack on this chamber of commerce."

“I think you can call the person directly, Milady.” After zooming in on the drone footage, Marian showed it to Yakushiji Ryoko. Thanks to the drone’s high-definition camera, the faces of the people being evacuated were clearly visible.

“The little girl from the Isayama family.” Yakushiji Ryoko smiled and nodded, taking out her phone and starting to search her contacts. She quickly found Isayama Yomi’s number. After all, for the all-powerful Yakushiji Ryoko, her circle of friends was very wide. Especially after stepping into this new circle, she began to find that the social circles in this underworld were much simpler than those in the surface world. As long as you found a few key figures, you could contact many people, just like that little guy from NERV.

"Hello!? Inspector Yakushiji? Is there something you need?" Isayama Yomi, who was holding the Lion King, took out her phone from her pocket after hearing it ring. She was very surprised by the person calling her, but it also seemed to make sense.

During this period, Ryoko Yakushiji's reputation was renowned throughout both the underworld and the legitimate world. Although the Special Affairs Division had not been established for very long, under the leadership of its powerful head, the list of targets it had destroyed was already quite long. Moreover, recently it had clearly begun to expand its targets from ordinary gangsters involved in this area to some strange and unusual targets.

"Let me guess." Izayama Yomi's eyes darted around. It seemed like some things were just too coincidental.

"Oh? You want to guess what I'm thinking? Go ahead and say it." Yakushiji Ryoko liked this energetic girl; she was much more interesting than the girl who always had a lifeless, tense expression.

“I guess the guys from the Special Affairs Section are probably just a block or two away. If nothing unexpected happens, my helicopter with the machine gun pod removed should be right above me, right?” Yomi Isayama said frankly and without any hesitation.

The Countermeasures Bureau, with their strangely imaginative thought processes, had only one thought about the Metropolitan Police Department's foray into the underworld: "Why the hell didn't you do this sooner?! You finally realized you're here, huh? Hurry up!" They didn't care at all whether the Metropolitan Police Department was infringing on their authority; that was nothing compared to slaying monsters, especially not someone like Yakushiji Ryoko who was rich and efficient.

"I must say, she's quick-witted. But you did see it, didn't you?" Yakushiji Ryoko first praised Isayama Yomi's quick thinking, but from the drone's perspective, her vehicle had already driven two blocks away, so logically she shouldn't have been able to see the vehicle hiding in a relatively concealed location along the street.

However, as a martial artist, having good eyesight is the bare minimum; one should even be able to detect things blindfolded. It shouldn't be surprising to Ryoko Yakushiji at all. After all, she had seen the video of Shinji Ikari's five senses training that NERV had used to scare people.

"Yes, so you want to storm in? Could you wait a bit? We just reached some kind of agreement with them." Izayama Yomi said softly, "It's not convenient to talk about the specifics over the phone, sob..." The car Izayama Yomi was in suddenly braked hard. If she hadn't been wearing a seatbelt, she would have hit her head on the passenger seat.

Isayama Yomi frowned and looked up to see that their car had been stopped, but there was no need to worry about fighting, because the person who came was chatting with her on the phone.

"Then why don't we talk about it in person!?" Yakushiji Ryoko jumped out of her bulletproof command vehicle, walked to the side of Isayama Yomi, and tapped on the car window with her phone. "The Suzuki Hotel is right next door, and their partner bar, Kiriya, is pretty good. What do you think?"

"This is fantastic!" Izayama Yomi's face lit up with an interested smile. She hadn't had an easy time lately, with her entire family pressuring her to relinquish her inheritance rights. Only Izayama Mei, whom she was at odds with the most, remained completely uninvolved. So, after her father's death, she couldn't spend a single penny of the inheritance she received. She was living a life of hardship while guarding a mountain of gold. Since someone offered to treat her to a lavish meal, why should she refuse?

"Let's go! I've booked a location!" Yakushiji Ryoko gestured for Isayama Yomi to follow her. "I was just about to call the Countermeasures Bureau and ask for information sharing, otherwise we would have taken care of these guys ahead of time."

"Looks like we've fallen into an ambush, haven't we?" Isayama Yomi wasn't angry. If the Special Affairs Division had actually broken in, she might have killed those yokai sitting next to her, drooling over her.

"No, no, no... I think we missed an opportunity to work together from the inside." Yakushiji Ryoko jumped into the car without any hesitation and then signaled the driver to go directly to the nearest Suzuki Hotel, where they wanted to get to know each other better.

Of course, before getting on the bus, Yakushiji Ryoko had already canceled all the missions. Since the Countermeasures Bureau had an event, she couldn't simply sabotage it.

"Yes, if I had known you were watching outside, I wouldn't have had to endure this so much!" Izayama Yomi stretched her limbs. "How about we turn back now? We should still make it in time."

"To be precise, it's already a bit too late!" Yakushiji Ryoko shook her head. Although her excellent subordinates hadn't received the attack order, they had remained in their original positions, constantly reporting the situation to Yakushiji Ryoko. "Several vehicles have already left, so if we rush in now, we've probably already missed today's most important big fish."

"Oh...this already seems a bit disappointing." Isayama Yomi sighed. "It wasn't a yokai that ran away, but a group of very rare guests." Their previous location was indeed very close to the Suzuki Hotel. After driving for a few minutes, the car turned and drove into the Suzuki Hotel's parking lot.

"Demons? Is that right?" Ryoko Yakushiji smiled. "We only had some suspicions at first, but now it seems the Countermeasures Bureau is moving very quickly. Do we need a body collection service?"

"They didn't even make a move, they didn't even draw their knives. It's quite surprising, actually. These monsters sent us here." Izayama Yomi glanced at the reply on her phone and began to share some useful information.

"Oh? A yokai summoned you bunch of yokai-killing addicts? Have you finally decided to commit suicide?" The information revealed by Isayama Yomi made Yakushiji Ryoko narrow her eyes, scrutinizing the girl before her with suspicion. "What kind of agreement did you reach with them?"

"No, I just witnessed something," Isayama Yomi said quickly. "There are quite a few powerful demons who have weakened themselves through special technology and infiltrated this place. They are contacting the demons here, and it seems they want to do something."

"What are we going to do?" This news came somewhat suddenly. The information provided by Isayama Yomi made Yakushiji Ryoko, who was usually very calm, wary. After all, she was from a department under the Metropolitan Police Department. In a sense, they were not quite the same as the Countermeasures Bureau to which Isayama Yomi belonged. For them, the most important thing was to maintain order and keep the normal operation of society.

"It seems to be the first time we've met, so they didn't explain in much detail, or rather, they said almost nothing useful. They just mentioned that they hoped the monsters would cooperate with their actions to launch a joint attack and destroy the human order."

"Oh? This is really interesting." Yakushiji Ryoko, who had just gotten out of the car, turned to Isayama Yomi, who was about to get out. "Now that you've decided to exchange information with us, I hope you can honestly describe to us what just happened. I'm starting to get interested in these demons who are planning to cause trouble."

"Inspector Yakushiji, you don't need to think too much. The essence of these demons and monsters is the same. If we are strong enough, they will talk to you about order. If we are not strong enough, they will not hesitate to use their power to bully us." Isayama Yomi slung his sword behind his back. "I thought you would talk about these things when you met with Shinji Ikari."

"Oh...no, because if he sees a demon, he probably won't waste words, he'll just attack!"

"That's definitely the right thing to do!"

Chapter 192 appears to be just a routine test.

"Shut up! I don't believe it!" Asuka, dressed in blood-red attire, shouted. She couldn't believe that the guy who was always half-hearted when doing experiments, who would often answer the phone halfway through, talking about things that had nothing to do with NERV, and who would lead random people straight into NERV's core secret area, had shown that in all tests, his attributes almost completely crushed her, who was already a German military pilot!

If it were just about physical strength and combat advantages, Asuka would accept it. But she had already witnessed the fight between Shinji Ikari and that woman covered in dragon scales who had been shuttling between the technical and medical departments for the past two days. The 50mm thick steel plates embedded in the walls of the laboratory to prevent NERV from going berserk were torn to shreds like paper in their hands, and their mutual bombardment could create all sorts of air explosions.

What terrified Asuka most was that everyone present seemed not only unsurprised by the situation, but also incredibly pleased. They all watched the two fighting below with eyes gleaming with excitement. The sheer excitement and joy displayed by both the Onmyoji and the NERV technical staff standing by sent chills down Asuka's spine.

As for the synchronization rate, I already knew before I came that Shinji Ikari and EVA Unit-01's synchronization rate had exceeded 70%, which was almost like Unit-01 had become Shinji Ikari's second body. Someone like me, whose synchronization rate was only half of the other's, definitely didn't want to make things difficult for him in this regard.

Finally! I mean finally! Today is the day of the firearms assault training. Asuka felt that this was a good day for her to finally show off her hard work! Before entering the room, she proudly declared that her marksmanship was pretty good in the German army (she seemed to be too proud to notice the expressions of the technical department members who were about to die laughing).

Then she entered a complex terrain training ground (basically, think of it as an enhanced version of the Call of Duty 4 Modern Warfare training base). Asuka thought it was pretty good that she took down 27 targets in 43 seconds, and Misato Katsuragi also applauded, saying that she was really amazing.

Then Asuka turned around and saw Shinji Ikari surrounded by several construction workers before he set off. They kept telling Shinji not to kick the wall, not to punch the board, and not to use a gun! Shinji had a dead fish-like expression on his face.

Shinji Ikari's thinking was simple: Damn it, what am I supposed to do when my muscle memory just won't kick in? A target popping up in my face, what am I supposed to do? Just smash it down with the butt of my spear! If I had that Thor's Hammer armor, I'd immediately demonstrate to you what it means to be a melee killer, never using a gun (by the way, in my latest Halo Infinite game, I like to wield an elite lightsaber and then fly around slashing people with a grappling hook; swinging a hammer doesn't feel as good as a lightsaber)!

At first, Asuka thought it was like teaching barbarians modern warfare, but after Shinji rushed in, she understood why the engineering department was so focused on instructing him. This guy was sprinting the whole time, completely ignoring the aiming beams, never pausing, firing with ease while sliding and rolling, effortlessly deflecting targets. He completed the entire test in only a third of Asuka's time.

Asuka's eyes widened at this sight. What kind of ground-hugging flight was this? And it even relied on the wall to push off while turning, jumping around the corner without giving the target drones at the corners a chance. It flew directly over their heads and then pulled the trigger to destroy them. If the distance was too close, it just kicked them to finish them off.

Asuka overheard the mournful sighs of the engineering department behind her. Yes, they had to work overtime again. The EVA lab wasn't finished yet. Although Shinji Ikari had been very restrained and hadn't caused much damage, it was still extra work.

"Don't be upset! I'll treat you to milk tea later!" Shinji Ikari said with a smile, comforting the engineering department who had to work overtime, while the group of people were making a ruckus.

"Rei, are you confident?" Misato Katsuragi sighed as she looked at Asuka, who was glaring at Shinji Ikari but was almost completely ignored by him. She knew that Asuka would do many outrageous things to prove herself, and she would try to solve problems on her own. It would probably cause a lot of trouble.

"Hi!" Rei Ayanami had no intention of competing with anyone. Today was just a test, just like many times before. There was nothing else going on, and it didn't have any special significance. However, before entering the arena, Rei Ayanami glanced at Asuka, who was glaring at Shinji Ikari. Misato Katsuragi didn't notice, but Rei Ayanami's eyes turned serious.

"Oh! Rei's data metrics today are excellent!" Asuka soon heard Misato Katsuragi's exclamation.

"What's going on?" Asuka turned around and walked over, glancing at the data. She was shocked. "Huh? The top student actually..." Because there were only a few dozen seconds left, Rei Ayanami's test was almost over in the blink of an eye. "She's just a commoner!" Yes, Rei Ayanami's score was a tiny bit faster than hers today, though only a tiny bit.

"I feel pretty good today." Rei Ayanami expressionlessly placed the rifle in the hands of the engineering staff, then turned and left very naturally.

"Hmm...it seems the test results today were all quite good!" Misato Katsuragi smiled happily. She decided to retract her previous judgment. This was practically a complete ecosystem: use Shinji to provoke Asuka, then use Asuka to provoke Rei Ayanami, and finally Rei Ayanami takes the lead. How could Shinji Ikari not take the lead? Isn't that...perfect?

"You've arrived, right!" Shinji Ikari put down the phone, a smile playing on his lips. He, the "trainee" Spirit Detective, was quite surprised to receive a direct order from the Spirit World. To be honest, after his rebirth, he had only contacted the Spirit World using Honda Shinichiro's contact information as a trial. However, after understanding the situation, the Spirit World's King Yama was quite understanding and granted Shinji an identity, making him a Spirit Detective (Trainee). As for the contact method, Honda Shinichiro's would suffice.

Shinji Ikari understood perfectly well that Koenma was a good person. His actions weren't aimed at diminishing Shinji's potential; he simply wanted to take care of Shinichiro Honda, a friend of the guy who had once saved many lives. As a trainee Spirit Detective, Koenma could shield Shinji from many troubles and provide him with some subsidies. Although the Spirit World seemed to have forgotten about Shinji afterward, never giving him any missions, the subsidies he was entitled to were never reduced.

Although these subsidies are not much, they represent a rare warmth from the lofty Spirit Realm. As long as Shinji Ikari is alive, they will continue to provide them. Even the Bureau of Countermeasures, which pays the most attention to this aspect, usually only provides a sum of money as a condolence payment.

"Ritsuko-nee, one will arrive this afternoon, and Sonoko and the others will arrive tomorrow morning," Shinji Ikari said quickly, gesturing to Misato Katsuragi.

"Is he the promising young man that Asou Yuu was talking about?" asked Mei Isayama, who was munching on a large bag of McDonald's. The key factor that made Asuka feel that NERV headquarters was unreliable and that made her so irritable was that since meeting her, she no longer worried about having low blood pressure.

"Yeah, you're such a cheapskate. You got it from the cafeteria anyway, can't I have one?" Shinji Ikari tried to reach for a hamburger from Mei Isayama. He felt hungry after just a little movement, which made him realize that he was burning calories faster than usual. But to his surprise, Mei Isayama slapped his hand away as soon as he reached out.

"Hmm... just one!" Mei Isayama paused for a moment, wondering if he had acted a little too quickly. As members of a team, they were quite casual with each other, and sharing food was no big deal. But his reaction was strange... Nevertheless, he reluctantly picked one out and tossed the Filet-O-Fish burger, which he didn't particularly like, to Shinji Ikari.

"It seems... you're still quite affected by the dragon's spirit," Ritsuko Akagi interjected. "All the arrangements have been made; we'll discard all the data. Are you sure this is the Spirit Realm's requirement?"

“Yes, at least that’s the order I received.” Shinji Ikari took a bite of his hamburger, then sized up Mei Isayama’s physique—a curvaceous figure, wait… “Mei, what the heck is your physique?”

"Huh?" Mei Isayama was taken aback, then his eyes widened. What the hell? Shinji, you're asking for it again, aren't you?

“You didn’t seem to have this much before…” Shinji Ikari hesitated for a moment, “You have a great physique, don’t you? Look down at yourself, you’re almost as big as Okuni, aren’t you?”

"I think you really want to die." Mei Isayama put down the hamburger bag, rolled up his sleeves, and prepared to fight Shinji Ikari again.

“Ms. Mei Isayama, please don’t act yet. I think I can vouch for Shinji. You should get your body and body fat percentage measured.” Someone unexpectedly spoke up. Ryoji Kaji stroked his chin. Shinji hadn’t said anything and he hadn’t paid attention, but now that he looked at it… it really was true!

"Do we need it?" Ritsuko Akagi looked at Mei Isayama beside her and examined her carefully. "It really is. It shouldn't be the effect of the clothes."

"Huh?" Mei Isayama tilted his head, looking at Shinji Ikari and Ryoji Kaji suspiciously. Were these two guys really looking for death?

"It seems you've been quite affected. Take a deep breath and think it over carefully," Shinji Ikari offered earnest advice.

"Hiss... Huff..." Mei Isayama closed his eyes and took a deep breath. "He seems to have become much more irritable. I need to get used to it. Dr. Ritsuko, thank you for your help."

"Great!" Ritsuko Akagi's lips curled up. Isn't that wonderful?

Chapter 193 Urameshi Yusuke

"It's been a while, and you've gotten so strong!" When Yusuke Urameshi saw Shinji Ikari, he punched Shinji in surprise. It had been several years since they last met, back when Shinji and the others didn't even know Mei Isayama. The three of them had originally planned to team up.

“So you’re not the only one who’s been transformed,” Shinji Ikari said with a smile. Unlike Shinji, Yusuke Urameshi still has a mother who cares about him very much. Yusuke Urameshi decided to exorcise spirits with Shinji and the others in order to earn money to help support his family.
