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

"We're coming right away!" With that, Yakushiji Ryoko gestured for her subordinates to follow her. Since she had been notified, how could anyone else possibly interfere?

"You bunch of thugs, how dare you lay a finger on me!" By the time Shinji Ikari hung up the phone, a row of thugs had already been pinned to the wall. Mei Isayama glared fiercely at the few thugs in front of him who looked miserable.

"We just want to make some money!" One of the thugs, who could still speak, swallowed a mouthful of blood with a miserable expression. He felt as if he had swallowed a few of his own teeth.

"Is that so? Let's talk to the police later." Shinji Ikari frowned. He and Mei Isayama exchanged a glance. They both sensed a fluctuation of spiritual energy, as if some kind of battle had taken place? And it wasn't some petty thug's affair like what they were seeing now.

“Sonoko, your happy time may be coming to a halt.” Shinji Ikari frowned as he looked at his phone, offering no further comment. “It seems things aren’t so simple. Mei, your condition is unstable right now. Stay with Yuu and protect them. Once the police arrive, head to the hotel.”

“Since something has happened, I’ll have them turn off the power and close the park early under the pretext of power overload. It should take about ten minutes.” Sonoko Suzuki nodded without hesitation, coming up with an idea that slightly surprised Shinji Ikari.

"Good idea, can you handle it?" Shinji Ikari nodded. This amusement park might become a thing of the past after today. If they could clear the area, then perhaps things would get interesting when they started fighting later...

"Let's call and let them know." Sonoko Suzuki reached for her phone and dialed her grandfather's number.

"Aren't there quite a few people from NERV here? Is there anything we can do?" Ryoko Sakaki reminded her. Ritsuko Akagi was busy in the lab today because she had just received the samples.

Misato Katsuragi was taken away by Ryoji Kaji to have a drink, so she didn't come this time either. The NERV employees were basically doing their own thing and had no organization whatsoever, so it would be difficult to get them to play any role.

“A large-scale mobilization would attract too much attention, and it would take them too long to get their equipment back.” Shinji Ikari shook his head. “Besides, this is New Tokyo, and NERV has to consider the thoughts of the leaders in Tokyo to some extent. They can’t act too recklessly.”

"I understand." Ryoko Sakaki nodded. Now that she was being groomed by the Totsuki Group, she began to understand the meaning behind many of the intricacies of the situation. She also began to realize the vortex her boyfriend was in and the terrifying forces he was connected to. Now that Shinji Ikari had mentioned it, Ryoko understood.

In fact, NERV members, who are essentially armed and independent, are still citizens of their country after work. It's fine for them to travel around. However, if they put on NERV uniforms, take various equipment, and come to New Tokyo, the Japanese government will have to ask Gendo Ikari what they want to do. It's the 21st century, do they still want to go to Kyoto? If they want to go to Kyoto, they should go to Kyoto.

"I'll go check it out first. You guys retreat to the hotel first." Shinji Ikari nodded and gestured to his companions. The situation did seem a bit off; the fluctuations in spiritual energy were not only not stopping, but were becoming increasingly intense.

"I hope Shinji won't be in any danger." Ran Mouri asked instinctively as she watched Shinji turn and leave.

"No need, Shinji is strong! Very strong! He can jump up seven or eight floors in a flash, Ran-neechan, have you forgotten?" Conan said with a grin, but he also turned his head slightly and pouted. Although he was a little dissatisfied at first, as time went by, he generally had a lot of fun, especially when Ran was holding him on the falling tower.

"Yes, Shinji is very strong, you don't need to worry about that. And... if there really is a problem, there's someone even stronger here." Ryoko Sakaki reached out and patted Conan's head, saying with a grin. Conan's entire mouth twitched. What do you mean by that...?

Having escaped, Shinji Ikari had few concerns left. With the rest of the people under Mei Isayama's protection, he felt reassured and took the shortest route towards the location of the spiritual energy burst. Yes, Shinji Ikari leaped onto the rooftops in two steps and began running across the rooftops of the buildings. He even jumped over a speeding roller coaster, adding a bit of fright to the riders.

"Damn it..." Ya Hui, whose McDonald's uniform was tattered in several places, stood in front of a mother and daughter. With her bare hands, she knocked down several people and quietly released some of the captured people, signaling them to run away quietly. However, unexpectedly, some of the children completely ignored her and started running wildly while screaming. Things started to go wrong at this point.

"So you better behave! You still can't..." The demon grinned maliciously. Although he didn't know what was going on, before he could finish his sentence, he suddenly felt a dizzying sensation. When he came to his senses, he had already bounced twice on the ground and then crashed into the front of a car in a starfish shape.

"Should I say you're good, or how could you be so careless?" Shinji Ikari continued to mock him while his attacks never stopped. He knocked and kicked all the thugs away. It seemed that the only one who could be considered truly powerful was the demon that Shinji had ambushed.

"Thank you very much. If you want to be sarcastic, please feel free to do so." Ae accepted Shinji Ikari's reprimand quite frankly.

“Go back and write to Mr. Sadao Masao. You've embarrassed him. Ask him to give you special training, both in martial arts and in bed.” Shinji Ikari placed his hand on Ae’s shoulder, who was clearly being suppressed by the other party. He circulated his energy through her body. Seeing that Ae was very calm, he simply teased her again.

"Yes... I will convey your suggestion." Ae glanced at him. That Maou Sadao was really difficult to deal with. Had she and Raiko really not thought of a solution? No... they had, but it was useless, at least it seemed useless...

"Alright!" Shinji Ikari raised an eyebrow, "You old fox, huh?" He turned and walked towards the demon, who had now revealed his true form. He grabbed the car and threw it over the demon's head. "I'll explain what happened in a bit."

"It can be summed up in one sentence: they're kidnapping people." Ya Hui stood up. "It's like someone needs someone to do something."

"That's great!" Shinji Ikari listened to what Ae said, looked up at the demon that was swinging a car around trying to hit him and was charging towards him. "Looks like something is really going to happen! Have they all been rescued?" Shinji Ikari watched the demon, which was at least five or six meters tall, rush towards him without dodging or avoiding it, and simply walked over slowly.

“No, the ones in front were sent away directly. I rescued the last batch,” Aya took a deep breath. She had no doubt about Shinji Ikari’s fighting strength. Her manager was very strong, so Shinji Ikari, as his friend, could not be weak. A lion’s friend can only be a lion.

"Oh...that's really good news." Shinji Ikari jumped lightly, as if to stretch his body, and then suddenly disappeared without a trace.

Upon seeing this, Ae's pupils suddenly contracted. This was not some kind of magic. At such close range, she did not sense any spiritual energy fluctuations. Therefore, the only remaining possibility was that Shinji Ikari's movement speed was too fast, exceeding Ae's visual perception.

"Tsk..." Shinji Ikari appeared in front of the demon, spitting out a mouthful of saliva. His physical strength was still lacking; he even felt a slight strain in his leg tendons and muscles. It seemed his training intensity was still insufficient. Feeling his physical strength had improved, Shinji tried out some of his past "practical techniques," only to find that he was overthinking things, and his body couldn't handle it...

"Playing tricks!" The demon was startled by Shinji Ikari's sudden appearance, but in the next instant, he reacted and immediately used all his strength to smash the car he was holding down on Shinji Ikari. "Watch me flatten you!"

With a gentle clench of his fists, crimson light erupted from Shinji Ikari's fists, and then in the next instant, "Is that so! Perfect, I also want to beat you up!" In the next instant, countless crimson trails flashed on both sides of Shinji Ikari's body! Like a crimson meteor shower piercing the night.

The car that was heading straight for Shinji Ikari was blasted into shape by the barrage of punches, and instead slammed into the demon. The metal body of the car slammed into its face, distorting its entire face! But the punches didn't end there; instead, they continued to bombard it relentlessly until Shinji Ikari unleashed a final uppercut, sending it flying into the air!

"So strong..." This demon knocked her down in no time, but it clearly didn't want to offend her shopkeeper, so it was just pressuring her to hand over the people behind her! But this didn't prevent Ae from having a clear understanding of the demon's fighting strength. The opponent wasn't just strong; no matter what moves she used, the opponent could easily break them. It had a lot of combat experience, but now it had been directly beaten to the sky by Shinji Ikari?

"I'll tell you something..." Amidst the terrified gaze of the demon kicked into the sky, Shinji Ikari emanated holy light, which began to rapidly compress and swirl in his hand. "What you fear has returned!" A Spirit Gun was launched by Shinji Ikari with a flying kick, exploding into a shockwave that struck the demon directly in front of it. In just a moment, it engulfed the entire car before exploding in a burst of light, completely shattering the demon.

"Those fireworks... were really scary!"

"The park event has to be abruptly canceled today, so it seems reasonable to set off the closing fireworks ahead of schedule?"

"really."

Chapter 203 Ryoko Yakushiji Takes Over

"Thank you!" Sadao Maou's face was very ugly, but he still thanked Shinji Ikari first. In any case, Shinji Ikari saved Ae once. He never expected that things would go so wrong. He had actually arrived just now, but he did not participate in order to protect Ae's pride. However, it was not a loss to see that Shinji Ikari was stronger than before.

"It's nothing, I just happen to have some free time. Looks like some trouble has come knocking." Shinji Ikari threw the group of thugs together. Some of them had just escaped while Shinji was fighting with the helpers sent by "that person" among them, but they were beaten up by Ae, who was holding back her anger. Now they were all obediently squatting on the ground with their heads in their hands, ready to defend themselves.

"Yakushiji Ryoko has already deployed helicopters to track them. If we make it in time, we should know what these guys are up to." Shinji Ikari glanced in the direction of the night, where the lively sounds of the amusement park had begun to noticeably subside.

Shinji Ikari felt his phone vibrate at that moment, took it out and glanced at it. Ryoko Sakaki had sent him a photo. They were already having a buffet at the nearby Suzuki Hotel for their late-night snack. They were a bunch of girls who weren't afraid of gaining weight.

"Do you need any help?" Maou Sadao glanced at Ae beside him, feeling that he couldn't stay out of it.

"Perhaps you can help us clear up our doubts first. Who is it, and what kind of idiot is planning to mess with us?" Shinji Ikari pointed to a few thugs lying on the ground, who had been beaten to the point of begging for mercy by Ae. Despite this, they were still stubborn.

“It’s nothing.” Walking up to the thug, Maou Sadao grabbed his hair, pulled his head up, and his eyes gleamed with a strange light. “Tell me, what is the purpose of your visit here?”

"We're from the Fushan Society. We received orders today to come to this event, harass people, and then extort ransom." The thug spoke honestly; that was all they knew. Sadao Mao patiently questioned each of them, but when he asked the fifth person, they received a slightly different answer.

"We received orders to come to this amusement park, rob some people, extort some ransom, but send them somewhere else." The confused thug revealed news that sent chills down the spines of the other thugs around him. They never expected that their superiors would think this way. Undoubtedly, this behavior would be pursued relentlessly, and it was indeed a matter of life and death for them.

Sadao Maou smiled. This was the answer he wanted. These brats had better be prepared. Sadao Maou's anger wouldn't dissipate easily. He hoped they were ready.

"So... oh! The big shot is here too." Yakushiji Ryoko finally arrived. Her subordinates had just taken the other thugs away from Isayama Mei's group, and now, hearing that Ikari Shinji was in this direction, they rushed over. On the way, her subordinates were stopped by many people reporting that their companions were missing, which made Yakushiji Ryoko immediately realize the gravity of the situation.

Shinji Ikari's news made her feel that the situation here was connected to the demon from before. Although the demon was blasted into pieces by Shinji Ikari's Spirit Gun, with Shinji Ikari of NERV, Aya of the Countermeasures Bureau, and the endorsement of a big shot, it was practically irrefutable evidence.

"That's basically it. The guy over there is furious because his subordinate got tricked by the other side. Make arrangements, preferably so he doesn't have to do it himself," Shinji Ikari said softly. Although the anime is a slice-of-life comedy, this isn't an anime. In another world, the ruthless Demon King is decisive and ruthless. Shinji can't guarantee that his thoughts are really the same as in the anime, especially the setting that fear gives him power, which is deadly. (By the way, Kazuhiro-sensei's fanfiction perfectly captures the concept of the Demon King... just kidding... light-speed escape!)

Therefore, if possible, Shinji Ikari would not want the Demon King to take matters into his own hands. After all, their values ​​are different, and the Demon King's small act of revenge might result in thousands of lives. At that time, the Demon King would gain a massive amount of fear, and Shinji Ikari does not know what the Demon King will do after regaining his power. Naturally, he does not dare to gamble.

So he hinted to Yakushiji Ryoko that he should avenge the Demon King, but absolutely not let the Demon King personally intervene. Naturally, this troublesome request earned him a glare from Yakushiji Ryoko, who poked Shinji Ikari in the chest, saying, "You owe me one!" Then she had her underlings take away these clueless fools whose minds had been broken by the Demon King's magic, who were now answering every question—for her, this was the best way to break through.

"I'll let you know if there's any news." Yakushiji Ryoko took the captured man and prepared to take him back for interrogation. Based on what this guy was saying, it was clear that the other party had more than just ulterior motives. Even someone like Yakushiji Ryoko, who was used to big events, felt a sense of impending doom.

“Alright!” Shinji Ikari said goodbye to Ryoko Yakushiji.

"The human world is truly filled with hypocrisy and cowardice. Even someone like you has to bow down to ordinary people. How boring!" Sadao Maou looked at Shinji Ikari. Shinji's act of handing everyone over disappointed him. He hadn't expected that someone he had high hopes for would turn out to be such a timid and hesitant person.

“My view is slightly different from yours,” Shinji Ikari said with a smile. “The rules protect the vast majority of the weak, and my not breaking them doesn’t mean I’m doing nothing, does it?” Shinji’s lips curled up into a very strong smile. “Let’s go try the buffet at the Suzuki Hotel! Consider it your late-night snack after working overtime all night.”

"This is great!" Raiko, who brought Ae the clothes, exclaimed. "The buffets at every Suzuki hotel are famously delicious! Let's go!" Raiko and Ae exchanged a glance. Shinji Ikari hadn't kept their conversation with Ryoko Yakushiji a secret from them.

Sadao Maou wanted to hear, and he could always hear. Shinji Ikari clearly needed the help of Raiko and Aya, so he let them all hear clearly. Therefore, he had no intention of hiding anything, and at least won the Demon King's goodwill through honesty.

"Hmm... I'm actually a bit hungry after moving around a bit." Ae nodded and then looked at Maou Sadao, "Manager, can we have your grilled meat tomorrow?"

"You've already had the lavish buffet at the Suzuki Hotel, and now you want to eat my barbecue too?! You're being way too greedy!" Maou Sadao glared at the two girls in front of him, annoyed.

“That’s different! One is a treat for us by our dear store manager after our hard work, and the other is a big meal for us by Shinji Ikari, oh no, I mean the young lady of the Suzuki family! The concepts are different!” Raiko smirked, clearly not intending to let Sadao Maou off the hook.

"The store manager isn't short of money, is he? If not, you can borrow some from me. I still have..." Unconcerned, Ya Hui pulled open her coat and took out a small wallet. Surprisingly well-endowed, she let her store manager admire her lace lingerie.

“It’s not that we don’t have money…” Maou Sadao sighed. These two girls are such a pair of clowns. They even drag Chihiro along when they’re at the shop. The three of them! It’s so hard for me. “Fine, let’s go. Tomorrow it is.”

"Oh!" Lai Zi happily high-fived Ya Hui, who was somewhat reluctant.

"Hey! I knew you guys were coming as soon as I saw the McDonald's truck outside. I saved you a seat!" Ryoko Sakaki grinned and pointed to a booth behind them. Perhaps because of the carnival next door, many people had suddenly left and come here to grab a bite. Of course, quite a few men and women also decided to eat and then burn off some energy. So, the Suzuki Hotel suddenly became incredibly busy, and all the rooms were fully booked half an hour ago.

"Okay! Nomura, put the stuff here!" After calling out, Raiko and Ae dragged Maou Sadao to get the food, one on each side. The shop manager couldn't possibly do any work, and the ladies couldn't possibly carry bags, so Nomura Katayama, the only one left, became the hardworking bag carrier.

"Oh!" Nomura Katayama wasn't angry; the girl had put in more effort than him! But right now, the person Maou Sadao valued most in the shop was none other than him, the honest and hardworking chef. There's a difference between relying on skill and relying on capital.

"Eat up!" Ryoko Sakaki pushed several plates in front of Shinji Ikari. The presentation was excellent, with a base of medium-rare steak, some sashimi and fried food, a large bowl of sea urchin rice, and a fruit platter. The dinner prepared for Shinji was designed to whet his appetite.

“We just took what Ryoko ordered!” Kurosawa Rei, who had already finished eating, looked at Ikari Shinji with a mischievous grin. “Sonoko has already booked rooms for us, so don’t be too busy tonight~” The old driver’s teasing was so intense it felt like a car wheel had rolled across his face.

"Just now, I saw some kidneys. Didn't you give Yuu some to nourish her? Rei-nee?" Shinji Ikari said that he wasn't worried about the speed of the car, as the old driver was fine and his wife was right next to him, so he wasn't afraid of a car accident.

"But speaking of which, I'm so envious. Why can't I eat and drink like Mei-nee?" Sonoko looked at Mei Isayama, who had gone to get some more sushi and stir-fries, with a helpless and envious expression. Isn't the point of eating at a buffet to enjoy the pleasure of having a big appetite?

"As long as you get a little more active, you'll be fine. If you'd like, come to my shop sometime, and I'll train with you!" Mei Isayama said with a smile, then glanced at Conan out of the corner of his eye. Hmm, being with him, you can't go without training...

Chapter 204 Zi Donghui is missing

"Let me tell you, I just went to the restroom and I really noticed that some people are incredibly lucky!" When Mei Isayama came back, he said to the table full of people, "A little girl was chatting with her brother. It seems that they won tickets in a raffle when they came to eat at the buffet tonight, and all three of them won."

"Huh? I remember there were only three raffle tickets as the grand prize! This is really lucky." Sonoko Suzuki was taken aback. When she came in, the hotel manager had specifically introduced this to her. Sonoko Suzuki was a little tired from playing and just wanted to focus on eating when she heard that they had prepared several raffle tickets, and the biggest prize was a free meal voucher or something.

"Three cards, not bad luck." Shinji Ikari nodded. What seal! He had just been pinched by Ryoko Sakaki because he was complaining that Ryoko Sakaki had taken away the greatest pleasure of eating at a buffet. After finishing the dishes that Ryoko Sakaki had prepared, Shinji Ikari was definitely full.

"That's not all. When they left, I saw that the three of them were carrying an Eternal Emperor." Mei Isayama pointed at Shinji Ikari.

"Huh? Eternal Emperor? Sonoko, do you sell cosplay costumes at your amusement park?" Shinji Ikari looked at Sonoko Suzuki with a surprised expression.

"I think she was referring to the prizes I won here, the figurines." Maou Sadao from the next table suddenly chimed in. Judging from the contents of his plate, he seemed to be planning to pick something out to add some interest to his menu. He quickly spotted something. "Katayama, write this down. See if you can recreate it when you get back. The ingredients seem cheap, but it tastes good. That little girl almost won both of my figurines. I changed the result."

"Such terrifying luck?!" Shinji Ikari was completely shocked. This wasn't just good luck; it was the goddess of fortune herself! He wondered if there was a madman in the world who used a long sword to draw blood all day long.

"However, her relatives seem to have a very similar aura to the one you fought," Maou Sadao remarked. "I warned her, and afterwards, for some reason, they seemed to avoid the places where those bastards raid people."

"Is that so..." Shinji Ikari's lips twitched. Then, sitting by the window, he noticed across the street that a boy seemed to be arguing with a low-ranking police officer. But the sight of the boy made Shinji pause. "Ayato Kanna? I'll go over there." Shinji put down his knife and fork and told Ryoko Sakaki beside him. Ryoko knew who Ayato Kanna was, so she also put down her knife and fork and followed Shinji out.

"Ayato Kamina? Who is this older brother?" Conan was very curious. He had been very excited listening to Shinji Ikari's story, but it was clear that Shinji Ikari didn't intend for him to get too involved in this matter, which made him feel very uncomfortable.

"So am I crazy, or are you crazy?! Nearly 20 citizens have gone missing! And you're telling me there's no need to investigate?!" At the same time, Yakushiji Ryoko's investigation ran into trouble. The prisoners she had just brought to the detention center encountered trouble from two sides. On one hand, a lawyer claiming to be their lawyer came to bail them out.

This is not a problem. Yakushiji Ryoko has plenty of ways to deal with these scoundrels. Anyone who wants to get someone out of her hands must not have thought through what a difficult task this is. Her team members are already discussing whether to put a sack over the lawyer's head and give him a good beating when he leaves.

Then, at that moment, Ryoko Yakushiji unexpectedly received a call from higher-ups in the Metropolitan Police Department, ordering her to release the people immediately. What followed was no longer her concern; all she had to do now was immediately release these innocent people whom she had illegally arrested.

"Fine, if you want me to release them, then send me an official document." Enraged, Ryoko Yakushiji used her trump card. Such a formal, written order was absolutely impossible in the Metropolitan Police Department's upper echelons, but generally speaking, anyone who reacted this way and refused their superior's request would likely be blacklisted.

However, Yakushiji Ryoko was already an outlier, so she wasn't worried at all. Recently, after gathering these troublemakers from various departments, she herself became a kind of flag bearer.

"You'll regret this!" As expected, the other party didn't have the guts to issue an official document directly, but Yakushiji Ryoko was certain that it wouldn't be long before they used the same method against her, because she also didn't have an officially issued arrest warrant, and the only demon was killed by Shinji Ikari, so now it was a bit like there was no way to prove anything.

"Take everyone out and send them to our safe house, then get all the relevant evidence as soon as possible." Ryoko Yakushiji decisively gave the order. If they didn't leave quickly, it might be too late for them. She took out her phone and quickly sent the situation to Shinji Ikari.

He also added his own assessment: after the incident with the Ghost Group, all the black gloves and white gloves have now figured out some things. There are some forbidden zones they'd better not step on, but it's impossible for them to resist the huge profits within those zones. So these guys haven't learned any lessons at all. Instead, they've started to learn how to block things. If Shinji Ikari wants to save someone, he might have to act quickly, because she's probably already being watched.

"Shinji!" Ayato Kamina noticed Shinji Ikari running across the street from the hotel and immediately shouted at him, "This policeman not only doesn't help, but he also wants to take me away. I suspect they're in cahoots."

"Officer, please show me your police ID. Inspector Yakushiji is nearby." It was noted that the officer's first instinct was to reach for his weapon at his waist; a reaction not typically seen in patrol officers.

“Young man, this is my police ID. He just told me that a friend of his has gone missing, so I want to take him to the station to give a statement. We need to file a report so we can mobilize resources to investigate.” The man, who appeared to be a police officer, pretended to reach for his belt, but his hand was already on the butt of his pistol. “Whoosh…”

Without a word, Shinji Ikari kicked him in the stomach. He fell to the ground and felt his entire chest and abdomen go numb. He also lost all feeling in his arms. Forget about reaching out to fire a gun, even breathing was a very difficult thing for him.

"So what happened?" After kicking, Shinji Ikari continued to question Ayato Kamina, while taking out his phone to look at it. He frowned; this was really interesting. The other party was actually starting to play the official game.

“Miko Shito and I came to the amusement park together. She went to the restroom and then I haven’t seen her since. The amusement park just said that they closed early because of a power problem. I asked their staff, and they searched all the restrooms, but they couldn’t find Miko.” Ayato Kamina said with a troubled look, “She has no reason to leave me behind.”

"Well done, you went on a date with someone and got lost, you're something else!" Shinji Ikari teased Ayato Kamina first. In Shinji's vague memory, if Haruka Murasaki's attitude towards Ayato Kamina was conflicted, then Megumi Murasaki was just one step away from making a move. The two of them had developed feelings for each other after spending almost every day together, but neither of them made a move. (And here we have to mention that blue-blooded girl who confessed later on. That was almost a heartbreaking plot. He killed his girlfriend, whom he had just started dating! Tsk tsk, what kind of screenwriter is this? Did they run out of razor blades at home?)

"No, we're just friends, we just hung out together..." Ayato noticed Shinji tapping his watch, and awkwardly touched his face. It was 10:30 at night, and this didn't seem like a very convincing explanation...

"How long ago did she go missing? Did you notify TERRA?" Shinji Ikari didn't press the matter; finding her was the most important thing right now.

"Two hours ago, I tried messaging her and calling her, but there was no response." Ayato Kamina glanced at his watch to confirm the time. "I've already notified her sister."

"That means they've already notified TERRA." Shinji Ikari stroked his chin. This matter is a little troublesome. As mentioned before, NERV and TERRA maintain a subtle distance from each other, and neither side intends to have close interaction. After all, for the Japanese government, what they probably least want to see is close interaction between NERV and TERRA, two armed UN organizations.

"Go to the lobby of the Suzuki Hotel and wait for Captain Haruka Shito. Just consider this matter as having been handed over to someone else." Shinji Ikari sighed. NERV was already in a difficult position in New Tokyo, and now that TERRA's staff were most likely involved, it was even more impossible to mobilize them.

"Really? You know where Megumi Shito went?" Ayato Kamina grabbed Shinji Ikari's arm, his expression extremely anxious.

"We already had a fight with them tonight. It's possible that it wasn't just Haruka Shito who got captured. We were just waiting for news, and now it's time to go and have a good look at them." Shinji Ikari's answer was very simple, and he had already made all the decisions. "As for where to meet them, I think this guy lying on the ground trying to escape can give me a good suggestion, don't you think?"

"..."

Chapter 205 Eternal Emperor!

"Here you go!" Nagase Nagisa, or rather, the dashing Yasha, stopped next to Shinji Ikari after an exaggerated tail-whipping spin, and tossed a box that Rei Ayanami had been watching over to Shinji with a grin.

Rei Ayanami declined to come to the amusement park with Shinji Ikari today. Her reason was simple: she didn't like noisy environments, and sitting in Ryuji Danma's shop seemed to help him attract business, so why not?

So, after Shinji Ikari called Rei Ayanami, Rei Ayanami relayed the message to Ryuji Danma, who was finally able to have a meal. Upon learning of this, Ryuji Danma immediately dropped what he was doing and prepared to go and get that item for Shinji.

"Get back to work!" Nagase Nagase kicked him, it was time for the good wife to step in, "I packed the stuff myself, I'll take it to Shinji Ikari!"

As the mainstay of their shop, Danma Ryuji is responsible for any slightly complicated repairs. The staff sent by NERV are basically inexperienced and can only help out as apprentices. They can't work independently yet, so they can't do without Danma Ryuji. If Danma Ryuji goes to deliver things, they'll have to close down for the night. That's why Nagase Nagisa's inner personality decisively stepped in to take over the task.

Former Berserker Angels executive "Yaksha" is here! (Reporting!)

"What a beautiful older sister!" Sonoko Suzuki looked on in surprise. She was wearing a simple work uniform (except that the words "Rampaging Angel" on the back had been replaced with "Ryuji Motorcycle Shop"), with her chest open. She took off her helmet and tossed her head, revealing Nagase Nagase with long hair. She proudly tossed the box in her hand to Shinji Ikari.

"Looks like your skills haven't gotten rusty from being a good wife!" Shinji Ikari was unaware of the incident where Yasha and Ryuji Danma had picked up baseball bats and beaten up all sorts of monsters and demons. He simply looked Yasha up and down, whose eyes were slanted and whose demeanor was completely out of place.

"Stop talking nonsense, change your clothes, someone's waiting for you." Yasha lit a cigarette, his face full of pride. "Miss Suzuki, if you can convince your family to give us a discount on parts, I'll take you for a spin?" Yasha raised his chin at Suzuki Sonoko and said with a smile.
