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

"Okay, let's start training then!" Himuro Kirie happily took Mimori's hand, preparing to take her to a place to train.

"Shall we go now?" Himuro Mimori seemed to have noticed something, but it was already too late...

"Oh..." Himuro Mimori, her limbs hanging limply at her sides and swaying in the wind, responded with a distressed expression. It was truly a hardship for a child under one year old to be forced to practice martial arts!

"It seems like Kirie really likes Mimori." Although Ryoko Sakaki didn't dare look up, she already understood what had happened just from listening. After Shinji Ikari put away the Divine Mirror, Ryoko Sakaki said softly. No matter the time, the warm affection between family members is one of the most touching emotions.

Shinji Ikari was laughing so hard he was panting. He had a deep understanding of Kirie's strict temper. He had been beaten into a pulp by a furious Kirie Himuro. How could the pretentious Mimori Himuro possibly have a good outcome in her hands?

"What are you laughing at!" Ryoko Sakaki kicked Shinji Ikari as she stood up, and rolled her eyes at him. "Your colleague is still resting in the room next door. Aren't you going to comfort her? What did she just see that scared her like this?"

“Eh… actually, what I saw was Mimori’s arm.” Shinji Ikari stood up. Ryoko Sakaki was right to remind him; they had to check on Asuka’s condition. “But Mimori spends every day with Kirie Himuro, so it’s only natural that she has Kirie Himuro’s aura on her. Besides, Asuka isn’t even used to Kirie Himuro’s aura yet, so it’s only natural that she would be affected by it.”

"Understood! Understood~" Shinjiro Ikari kissed Ryoko Sakaki on the cheek, and then ran into the next room before Ryoko Sakaki could kick him.

"Is it over there?" Katsuragi Misato crossed her arms. Although the height of summer had passed, she hadn't changed back into her heavier autumn/winter clothes. So, in the chilly atmosphere where her breath could condense into mist, she felt a bit cold even while wearing Kaji Ryoji's coat.

"Asuka, what's wrong with her?" Shinji Ikari looked at Asuka, who was huddled in a corner with her arms crossed and not saying a word. Although her eyes were not stiff and were still lively, and she had not lost consciousness, there was no doubt that she was not in good condition. It was the first time she had come into contact with the aura of the evil god. Just the aura alone caused Asuka to have many hallucinations. This was also why Ryoji Kaji called out Misato Katsuragi's willingness.

“Let me talk to her,” Shinji Ikari said with a smile, casually placing a can of coffee he had grabbed before entering in front of Asuka.

“Alright! You guys should have plenty to talk about with people your age.” Kaji Ryoji nodded, then pulled up Katsuragi Misato, who was about to say something. “We’re going downstairs to help clean up the mess. You can take care of things here.” Then the two of them slipped away without looking back.

"I don't need your pity..." Asuka buried her head in her arms. What kind of illusion was she seeing? Death? No, death was not scary to her. As the pilot of EVA, she knew, and had known for a long time, what she might face. Death was really just a small problem.

"Why should I pity you? You're beautiful, smart, and highly educated. Do you know how many guys treat you like a casual snack for dinner?" Shinji Ikari said with a smile.

"Disgusting." Asuka's knuckles turned slightly white, though she didn't care about such things.

"It's just a natural physiological urge, which means you're very attractive!" Shinji Ikari said with a smile. "My father is Gendo Ikari."

"The son of an official..." Asuka's comment was very direct.

"But I earned my own tuition and living expenses. A second-generation official? Is anyone as miserable as me?" Shinji Ikari retorted.

Asuka remained silent about this, turning her face away from Shinji Ikari.

"A father who never cared about me, and whose funerals I even had to arrange myself—would I really call him 'Dad' if we actually met?" Shinji Ikari's eyes narrowed slightly. "My mother, Yui, is missing. In that respect, we're somewhat alike..."

"..." Asuka looked at Shinji Ikari but didn't say anything.

“She disappeared during an experiment conducted by my father!” Shinji Ikari said softly. “That’s all the information I had. After that, because it was classified, all related information was destroyed, including all the photos of my mother. You know what? I don’t even have a single one.”

"!" Asuka was somewhat shocked by what Shinji Ikari said. "Your mother seems to be from NERV as well, so?"

“There’s nothing to say…” Shinji Ikari looked at Asuka. “I can’t just tell you to be strong, but being depressed won’t solve anything.”

"What are you investigating with Misato Katsuragi?"

"Oh, very perceptive."

"Count me in."

What question are you seeking an answer to this time?

"My mother..."

"understood."

Chapter 212 The Order from the Spirit Realm

"This is truly rare!" Shinji Ikari looked at Botan, who had handed him the task, with a very surprised expression. "This is the second time she has given me a task, isn't it?"

“Little Yama didn’t want you to get involved.” Peony scratched her face lightly. “It involves a lot of things between the Spirit World and the Demon World, but you’ve almost figured it all out yourself, and considering Yusuke’s current fighting power…”

It's not that Yusuke Urameshi isn't strong in combat, but before being shocked by Toguro's brother, he had a relatively strong confidence in his own strength. This made the Spirit World somewhat sigh, as they hoped he could be even stronger.

The fighting power that Shinji Ikari had previously displayed had shocked the Spirit World, especially the holy light aura emanating from him, which had attracted the attention of the Spirit World. With Sensui Ninja as a prime example, no one wanted to miss out on the next practitioner of holy light aura.

The Spirit World was very satisfied with Shinji Ikari's growth rate. According to their estimates, with a period of accumulation, Shinji Ikari might be able to reach the level of Shinobu Sensui in his early years. Yes, the Spirit World had more trust in him than Shinji Ikari himself, but Koenma resisted.

In my opinion, Shinji Ikari was just an ordinary person who accidentally inherited some power. Even though his potential was growing stronger, his combat strength was far from what the Spirit World expected. Until recently, Shinji's strength began to grow rapidly, almost explosively. After careful consideration, Koenma decided to put Shinji into the next mission, since in the turbulent Japan, having only Yusuke Urameshi seemed insufficient to shoulder the responsibility.

Therefore, Koenma now needs Shinji Ikari's power to be involved as well, to stabilize the undercurrents that have been brewing due to the lack of strong suppression for too long, which is crucial for the Spirit World.

"Can you just say it directly? I believe Yusuke's mission is similar to mine, so you should have already read it once, right?" Shinji Ikari looked at Botan in front of him and pursed his lips. Although he could roughly guess that the reason why Koenma hadn't greeted him was due to some special reason, the way he was acting like, "Now that you've been promoted, you should hurry up and get to work," was really not likable.

"Eh... that makes it all feel so ceremonial!" Botan hadn't expected Shinji Ikari to suddenly make such a request.

"Then... let me guess?" Since Botan had said so, Shinji Ikari felt he should give face to the little devil who had taken care of him, so he stood up and began to watch the videotape.

Every time I take on a mission from the spirit world, there are always a lot of troubles. I found an old video recorder in the corner, plugged it in, and connected the signal adapter cable. Only then was the matter almost over. I sat down cross-legged in my small room again. Ryoko Sakaki next to me had almost finished half a cup of milk tea.

"Sure." Peony blinked her eyes. She was also looking forward to Shinji Ikari's prediction. After Shinji displayed his holy aura, the most surprised person was none other than Koenma himself. Koenma had previously sent people to assess Shinji's abilities when he was only eleven or twelve years old. They could only be described as mediocre, even slightly inferior to Shinichiro Honda back then. After all, Shinji's physical abilities were really not that great at the time.

"The spirit world should know about this too. I've joined several similar exorcism organizations on Earth to make money." He took out a very old remote control, pressed it twice, but there was no response. He shook it, opened the back cover, and then removed the batteries, thinking he wouldn't use it immediately. "So I do have some connections on Earth. And in my recent missions, I've discovered that the so-called advance team sent by the demon realm seems to be contacting local demons and antisocial individuals."

"Oh! The intelligence is very accurate!" Peony clapped her hands. Shinji Ikari had spoken of the core of the Spirit World's worries recently. Clearly, the Demon World wanted a chaotic human world so they could more easily infiltrate.

"But... these unlucky guys just happened to end up in Japan. If they had gone to those chaotic countries in South America or Africa, who knows what the outcome would have been." Shinji Ikari inserted the batteries and pressed a few buttons. Great! Still no response! Probably broken? He sighed and walked to the VCR, intending to operate it manually.

"But in fact, these people are no ordinary elites. A police elite led by an excellent lady, along with the countermeasures bureau's encirclement, only managed to capture a few unlucky ones who couldn't escape. Through interrogating these unlucky ones, we learned some of their possible plans." Shinji Ikari shook his head. Images began to appear on the television screen, with the same style as before, the animation as stiff as a game screen from the NES era, accompanied by the voice of Koenma, slowly explaining the current information.

"And what's worse is yet to come. It's clear that their collaborators include people within the government, and they've explicitly begun putting pressure on these organizations." Shinji Ikari watched the scene being described. Yes, it wasn't just Yakushiji Ryoko's family that was being pressured by the government. The Countermeasures Bureau and the Onmyōryō, two organizations closely connected to the government, were also subjected to strong suppression. The jujutsu practitioners didn't pay much attention to the government, but the Jujutsu Association itself was relatively loosely organized and lacked the strong enforcement power of the former two.

The most outrageous thing is that even the Totsuki Group, which has been busy spreading the "Himuro School" recently and has not been involved in this matter at all, has received a warning from the government. This has made Senzaemon Nakiri not only dissatisfied, but also very vigilant about this matter. It is clear that something big is about to happen.

"So this time, the main force has become a few clueless young people going to venture into the lion's den to save this wretched world, right?" After watching the video, Koenma gave Shinji a serious warning. The person they were investigating was Kenzo Suigane, a former victim of the demon incident who had now colluded with demons. The Spirit World now directly suspected that most of the remaining members of the "vanguard" were trying to open a passage to the Demon World.

So there's nothing more to say now. The spirit world has only one order: destroy any possible passages, eliminate all demons, and all humans who collude with demons.

"Eh..." Peony scratched her face with a wry smile. She didn't know how to respond to Shinji Ikari when he said that. After all, what Shinji Ikari said seemed to be true. Shinji Ikari and Yusuke Urameshi were just two rookies. Although their strength was not bad, it was obviously a bit heartless to send them to the Spirit World like that.

"But don't worry, Yusuke will go, and so will I..." Shinji Ikari squeezed Ryoko Sakaki's hand, who was gripping his tightly, and smiled confidently. However, he turned to Botan and said with a serious expression, "But please tell Koenma that you should strengthen the patrol of the barrier. This is probably just the beginning, and there are definitely other demons and monsters ready to follow up at any time."

"I will convey it!" Peony said with a serious expression. Shinji Ikari's judgment actually matched the Spirit World's judgment very well. They also understood that what Shinji Ikari said was indeed a very serious predicament. The entire human world was facing the threat that the other side was constantly sending advance teams to try to find a foothold. After that, whether it was trying to open the passage to the Demon World or destroying some deadly facilities, it would become a nightmare for mankind.

"Well, I have nothing else to say." Shinji Ikari removed the videotape from the VCR. He had initially planned to use his spiritual power to destroy the tape, but after hesitating for a moment, he put it aside. It was, after all, his first official mission from the Spirit World, so it had a bit of sentimental value.

"Well then, Shinji, I'll take my leave now. Yusuke should be almost ready too. It seems he'll be traveling with a companion. Do you have anyone else coming along?"

"How can we get more subsidies if we go together?" Shinji Ikari looked at Botan with curiosity. If there were subsidies, Isayama Mei, who was probably already at his limit, would probably go. But if there weren't enough subsidies, Isayama Mei probably wouldn't want to go either.

"The subsidies that are due will be given, but if you die in battle..." Peony's smile was rather awkward.

“No problem, if we can’t beat them, we can always run away, right?” Shinji Ikari said with a smile. “The Spirit World should have already obtained their location by now.”

"This is a map." Botan handed a blank sheet of paper to Shinji Ikari. Ryoko Sakaki also curiously leaned over, because it really did look like a blank sheet of paper. Shinji Ikari readily handed the blank sheet of paper to Ryoko Sakaki beside him, satisfying her curiosity.

"It's a blank sheet of paper!" After looking at it for a long time and examining it under the light, she still couldn't make out anything. She looked at Shinji and Ikari with curiosity, "So is there some special way?"

“Every Spirit Detective leaves their own spiritual frequency in the Spirit World! And this is how you use it.” Shinji Ikari’s lips curled up as he reached out and took the paper. He released his spiritual energy, and the entire paper instantly seemed to catch fire, but the clear patterns on it began to appear. While maintaining the input of spiritual energy, Shinji Ikari pulled out a map and quickly started writing and drawing on it, rapidly transferring the information from the map to his own map.

"Is this a security measure?" Ryoko Sakaki craned her neck to look at the map that Shinji Ikari was writing on. Shinji had marked it with a lot of information that she couldn't understand at all.

“Yes, the information from the Spirit World is plentiful. Kenzo Suigane is a coward. After hearing that another person using Holy Light Aura has appeared…” Shinji Ikari winked at Ryoko Sakaki with a hint of smugness, successfully earning an eye roll from his girlfriend, and then said in a cold tone, “This traitorous dog is naturally terrified of death. He hired a lot of people to try to save his dog’s life.”

"If that's the case, then he didn't need to arrest so many people." Ryoko Sakaki looked at Shinji Ikari and frowned slightly. As a participant in the amusement park event, Sonoko Suzuki became depressed after returning to the hotel that day, and even Ayato Kamina later went to comfort her for a while.

Although Sonoko Suzuki forced a smile so as not to worry everyone, Ryoko Sakaki felt guilty just imagining that such a thing had happened at the fair because of her. Fortunately, Shinji Ikari rescued everyone, otherwise Sonoko Suzuki might have carried this huge shadow for the rest of her life.

"Demons... are man-eating, and if Suigane Kenzo really wants to do something, then these humans are excellent sacrifices." Shinji Ikari sighed. He had seen far too many of these kinds of messes back when he was working with Sensui Shinobu.

This is also why Sensui Shinobu developed that strange worldview in a certain sense. Because most of the time, when facing these demons and monsters, humans are in a position of absolute weakness. After witnessing all sorts of tragic scenes happening before his eyes, Sensui Shinobu naturally believed that he was an envoy sent to protect all humans. This was his mission and his justice!

Then these demons discovered the flaw in Sensui Shinobu's mind and exploited it specifically...

"...A ritual?" What Shinji Ikari said surprised Ryoko Sakaki, but also felt it was perfectly reasonable. However, this sense of entitlement was filled with a chilling feeling upon closer examination.

“Yes, all kinds of rituals, sacrifices, summoning, offerings, and even prayers…” Shinji Ikari sighed. “To put it bluntly, it’s about using others to pay the price for yourself.”

"How disgusting!" Ryoko Sakaki stuck out her tongue. "Go for it! Kill them! I approve!" Ryoko Sakaki patted Shinji Ikari on the shoulder and shouted.

"Understood!" Shinji Ikari nodded. His wife had already given her approval, so what else was there to say? Let's get him! "I'll contact Mei Isayama. If there are no unforeseen circumstances, we'll prepare to set off immediately," Shinji Ikari said, turning to Botan.

"Okay! But you shouldn't have given Yusuke Urameshi that motorcycle." Botan picked up her oar and got up to fly away. She wasn't just going back to the Spirit World to report; she might even be going to act with Yusuke Urameshi when she returned. However, she immediately stopped her oar and complained to Shinji Ikari.

"What happened? Did you drop Yusuke?" Shinji Ikari asked curiously. "I don't think so. I saw him take you back that day, and he rode quite steadily."

"Hmph! That's just your imagination!" After saying that, Peony turned around and flew away, as if to avoid some bad memories.

"Is there really nothing between her and Yusuke Urameshi?"

“Yusuke has Keiko now, so there’s probably nothing left.”

"Oh really?"

"Just like I have you."

"Pah! That's indecent!"

Chapter 213 Yusa Emi

"Ryoko's cooking skills are getting better and better! This bacon is almost as good as those master chefs!" Isayama Mei took a bite, looking at the long cheese strands and the fresh and slightly sweet taste in her mouth, her eyes were full of great satisfaction.

It's not surprising that Mei Isayama felt that way. Ryoko Sakaki's rice balls weren't the simple, low-budget versions of those in Japanese anime where you just wrap a sour plum in cold rice, shape it into a triangle, and wrap some seaweed on the outside.

In the morning, Ryoko Sakaki would add some chopped luncheon meat, black pepper, a little salt, white sesame seeds, and a little melted lard directly to the rice. After mixing it well by hand, she would wrap it with cheese and random fillings such as pork floss, salmon (cooked and crumbled), bacon, and salted egg yolk, then roll it into a ball and shape it into a triangle.

You thought it was over? Not at all. Ryoko Sakaki then tossed the rice balls into a shallow frying pan with a thin layer of butter to toast them, while brushing them with a sauce made of soy sauce, ketchup, oyster sauce, and honey. Not only did it give them a nice color, but it also smelled incredibly delicious. As a taste tester, Ryuji Danma kept saying how hot it was, but he still ate four of them before being chased away by Nagase Nagase (who had also eaten four). Rei Ayanami even ate two different fillings, which was quite unusual for her, and she seemed to prefer the ones with plum filling, which had a slightly sour taste.

The method is not as complicated as you might imagine. All the ingredients are readily available, and the cheese and soy sauce are free. It's homemade, but it does require a little care, especially in controlling the heat. It needs to have a slightly charred aroma without being burnt. This control requires a certain level of culinary skill.

"It seems you've become a complete glutton after the fusion." Shinji Ikari sighed and called out to Emi Yusa, the otherworldly hero who had been stretching and had worked hard to earn a lot of money since arriving at the black market, to come and have a bite to tide him over.

"No need. If you really want to, could you lend me your NERV employee card? I'll grab a bite at McDonald's." Yusa Emi stretched her limbs. She had to admit that after living with Isayama Mei, she had actually started to think that women were really troublesome things, which was somewhat impolite of her.

"Come and have a bite before you leave. It would be a huge loss to leave without eating any of these delicious rice balls." Mei Isayama, who had already snatched the tray of rice balls from Shinji Ikari, offered them to Emi Yusa to choose from, or rather, to draw a blind box before leaving.

"Then I won't be polite!" Yusa Emi rolled up her sleeves, grabbed one in each hand, and took a big bite. "Oh! It smells so good, it's delicious!" After saying that, Yusa Emi looked up and down at Mei Isayama and Shinji Ikari in front of her. "How come you two aren't fat! If I ate this delicious food every day, I would definitely be as big as a ball by now!"

“That’s why moderate exercise is so important!” Mei Isayama said with a smile. It’s amazing that she’s not prone to gaining weight. Nagase Nagisa, on the other hand, was worried about gaining weight because she ate too much.

"Thank you for the hospitality, Mr. Shinji! Here's my work card!" Yusa Emi extended her hand to Shinji Ikari. She went to McDonald's at least once a day, and in the eyes of Raiko and Ae, she was quite a formidable rival...

"Here you go!" Shinji Ikari didn't say much, and directly handed his work card to Yusa Emi, so that she could go to McDonald's and get a free meal, and also keep an eye on Sadao Maou's condition today.

“You might not be able to come; I have to watch the shop today.” Mei Isayama, chewing on a rice ball, gestured to Emi Yusa with his cleaned motorcycle. “I have to go on a long trip, and there are a few tough issues that need to be dealt with, so I’ll probably have to look after the shop for the next few days!”

"Wasn't I the one minding the shop before?" Yusa Emi said, "I just believed your lies!" After moving here with Maou Sadao, she was looking for a job and a place to live. While searching for a rental, she found a recruitment notice posted in front of this building: "Recruiting salesperson, base salary of 1 yen per month, sales commission, free accommodation and three meals a day."

Then Yusa Emi foolishly knocked on the door and asked. At that time, Isayama Mei, who was wearing a yukata and sweeping the floor, looked incredibly reliable, completely unlike the Isayama Mei who was now showing her a cheerful smile. In the end, the base salary was increased from 10,000 yen to 12,000 yen, and meals were not provided (actually, Isayama Mei bought groceries and cooked for himself, or went to eat with them).

Yusa Emi wanted to cover her face when she thought about it. She had inexplicably signed a ten-year contract. If it weren't for the decent income and the fact that she could use Shinji Ikari's card to eat at McDonald's every day and keep an eye on Sadao Maou, it would have been a job that matched her major in a way.

"Okay, stop! If I'm all alone, I probably won't have time to cook for myself." Yusa Emi nodded, indicating that she understood. She knew what Shinji Ikari and Mei Isayama were doing, and it was an action worthy of respect. Even if they wanted some money, it was only right! After all, even heroes need to eat!

Having experienced adventures herself, Yusa Emi understands this kind of life very well. Heroes can't survive on reputation alone. Food costs money, equipment maintenance costs money, and buying various items costs money, and the better the items, the more expensive they are! So in a sense, Yusa Emi is the person who has the most say about this kind of life.

"Anyway, this is troublesome! Oh! Is this a meal prepared for us? Thanks, Ryoko!" Mei Isayama happily took a bag of rice balls sealed with plastic wrap, put the bag of rice balls into her backpack, and then pushed out her motorcycle. Shinji Ikari had already pushed out his heavy motorcycle.

As their strength increased, they gradually carried less and less equipment. Now, they mainly carried things for breaking through barriers and providing first aid when necessary. If they encountered a life-threatening situation, having these items could really save their lives.

"Let's go!" Shinji Ikari rolled his eyes. Mei Isayama, who was originally a cool and aloof noblewoman of a samurai family, has now become somewhat carefree after the fusion. Even though she has shown obvious restraint after I reminded her, the change from before is still quite significant.

"Then let's go! By the way, are you interested? We can go together next time!" As Isayama Mei mounted his motorcycle and put on his helmet, he said to Yusa Emi, who stayed behind to watch the shop, "You said it yourself, that person's recovery speed is still amazing. You also need some battles to recover your strength."

"..." Yusa Emi looked at the two people in front of her and silently shook her head. "Let me think about it. We'll talk about it in detail when you come back."

“Okay!” Meiichi Isayama pulled the scooter, and her Kawasaki H2R engine roared loudly, lifting the front of the scooter and shooting off. Shinji Ikari and Ryoko Sakaki exchanged a glance and nodded slightly. The rest of the persuasion was naturally left to his capable wife!

Shinji Ikari suddenly thought it was pretty good regarding Mei Isayama's stroke of genius. Although Yusa Emi was now completely outmatched by Sadao Maou, who had regained some of his power, before she was weakened during her transmigration, she was on the same level as Sadao Maou in terms of combat strength. She just didn't have Sadao Maou's special physique. The Demon King's ability to absorb fear as his power should already be at the rule level. In a sense, Sadao Maou probably possessed a kind of divinity or even godhood related to fear.

The fact that Yusa Emi could chase and slash him before she transmigrated demonstrates her combat prowess. However, unlike Sadao Maou, she doesn't have the ability to directly absorb emotional energy to restore her combat strength. Her holy magic energy cannot be replenished in this world; she only has a reserve of technical knowledge.

However, even this knowledge is extremely valuable. Moreover, Shinji Ikari felt that even if she couldn't use the Holy Aura, it didn't mean that her body couldn't use the power of this world. After all, Shinji Ikari himself was simultaneously cultivating the Aura of the Undefeated School and the spiritual power of the Holy Light Aura.

"Those two are finally gone!" Ryoko Sakaki stretched lazily, revealing her somewhat sexy figure. However, this action seemed to irritate Emi Yusa, causing her to give him a deadpan look.

"Isn't Shinji Ikari your boyfriend? Why are you so at ease when he goes on his adventure?" Yusa Emi shook her head, covering her face. Actually, she and Sakaki Ryoko were quite close; after all, whenever Sakaki Ryoko came over, she would definitely cook. And whenever she cooked, Isayama Mei would always take her out for a free meal.

This way, we can save money, and on the other hand, we can also cultivate a good relationship with this woman who seems to have a story and is not afraid to express her hostility to Maou Sadao. At the very least, we can find out her background and get some benefits from Maou Sadao.

However, what was unexpected was that Sadao Mao seemed to be very familiar with her and didn't care what she said or did at all. At most, he would make a few sarcastic remarks about her getting free meals from NERV every day. Yusa Emi was no pushover either, and she retorted. The two of them were practically performing a free two-person comedy show, which made them seem like a pair of bickering lovers. This made Raiko and Ae regard her as a formidable rival (which seemed to be true in every sense).

"Yeah, but isn't trusting your boyfriend the bare minimum? Shinji isn't the kind of person who's stubborn. What do you think they ride super heavy motorcycles for? Just to get away faster."

"...That's a really ridiculous reason."

Chapter 214 Meeting

On the road leading to the mountains, two motorcycles sped along one after the other, and soon arrived at the meeting point sent by the spirit world: a small, deserted restaurant in the mountains, run by two elderly people with gray hair.

"Hey! The fried noodles here are really good!" Yusuke Urameshi waved to Shinji Ikari. Looking at the several plates lying around, it was clear that Yusuke Urameshi was right.

"Now that you've eaten and drunk your fill, it's time to get to work? Let me introduce you. This must be Kazuma Kuwazono? I've heard of him." Shinji Ikari glanced at the pompadour-haired, horse-faced boy beside him. He was a very loyal young man, but in the world of Yu Yu Hakusho, he had caused a great disaster. His Dimension Slash had cleaved through the barrier that the Spirit World had painstakingly erected. Before the Great Demon Unification War, who knows how many powerful demons had taken the opportunity to infiltrate the human world? The manga didn't mention it, but were there really none? Shinji Ikari didn't dare to take the gamble.

"Ah! Looks like I'm a big shot now! Ah... Hahaha! Hahaha!" Sangyuan Kazuma said with a smug look on his face. Obviously, for young people like him, the feeling of making a name for themselves was something that made them happier than anything else.
