Pirate's Bizarre Adventure

Sincerity is a must-win.

The same is true for sarcasm.

Everyone was dumbfounded.

Misato Katsuragi seemed to have thought of something and looked at Shinji with complicated eyes.

A good child was corrupted by someone who was out of touch with reality.

Asuka came back to her senses and slammed the table angrily: "Hey, hey, hey, what's with your attitude?"

manner?

Classics require an attitude, right?

Shinji was determined to make it happen, and continued: "That's my attitude. If you don't like it, you don't have to watch it."

"Who likes to look at you!" Asuka went crazy.

Shinji: "Ah, yes, yes~"

"Will you please speak properly? I'll hit you if you do this again." Asuka said word by word.

Shinji: "Ah, yes, yes~"

Asuka: ...

She had never had such an experience before.

joke.

When would a boy of the same age dare to talk to her like this?

Asuka's face puffed up: "I'm warning you, don't talk like that!"

Shinji: "I'm warning you, don't warn me."

Asuka: ???

"Alright, alright, why are you making things so tense?" Seeing this, Kaji Ryoji had to laugh and come out to smooth things over: "But it's not quite what I expected, Shinji-kun. I didn't expect you to be such a lively person."

Shinji: "Have you heard about me?"

Kaji Ryoji said: "You are very famous in our industry. You were able to activate EVA in actual combat without any training. Not only that, you defeated the apostle in your first battle."

"No, no, it's just a coincidence." Shinji scratched his head.

This is just a humble remark.

But after his sarcastic tone just now, it sounded weird when he said it again at this time.

"Match is also part of strength. That's your talent." Ryoji Kaji seems to be very interested in Shinji.

After checking the time, he stood up with regret: "I still have some things to do, so I can't accompany you for the time being."

"Who wants you to accompany me? Didn't you follow us on your own?" Misato Katsuragi waved her hands as if she was chasing away something dirty.

Kaji Ryoji: "How indifferent! After all, we once lived under the same roof."

"what!"

"You're kidding!"

After accidentally hearing the big gossip, Shinji and Asuka both looked as if they had seen a ghost.

Misato Katsuragi covered her head in pain: "I can't hear it, I can't hear it, I can't hear it!"

"There's no point in running away, this is reality." Kaji Ryoji blinked, "Then, excuse me for going first."

……

……

The sea waves are rolling.

The waves are rushing.

stern.

Kaji Ryoji leaned against the mast and asked Asuka, "What do you think of Shinji?"

Asuka said without thinking: "Asshole, I get angry when I see him."

"Don't say that. He is a third-level tester, but he has achieved a 99% synchronization rate in his first contact with EVA. As a pilot, you should understand what this means."

Ninety-nine percent.

almost impossible.

But it really happens in reality.

Asuka didn't know what to say for a moment.

Kaji Ryoji then said: "Not only that, you should have heard of that rumor as well."

"What rumor?" Asuka asked knowingly.

Kaji Ryoji: "Regarding the rumors about the second personality, of course, no one said that it was not a second personality at all, but an apostle, an apostle living in his body."

"Apostle? No wonder I thought that guy looked a bit hateful." Asuka snorted coldly: "Don't let me catch him, or I will make him pay."

"Hey, hey, hey, please forgive me. You must have a good relationship." Kaji Ryoji said with a smile: "The pilots of Unit-2 and Unit- are having conflicts and infighting. What are you thinking?"

Asuka: "Don't worry about it. I know what to do."

After a pause, he continued, "After all, Unit-0 and Unit- are just prototypes and experimental models manufactured during the development process. The fact that he can synchronize with the machines without any training, and even achieve such an outrageous synchronization rate, is entirely due to the machine itself. It cannot prove how excellent his own qualifications are."

Kaji Ryoji scratched his face, not expecting Asuka to judge Shinji's qualifications from this perspective, and couldn't help but say: "Let's not talk about the reasons for the machine, but the record of our third qualified person is solid.

Whether it was the Water Angel, the Day Angel, or the Thunder Angel, he successfully completed the mission in three battles and three expeditions. "

Asuka was still unconvinced: "So what? If it were me, I would definitely be better than him."

She said confidently: "Unit 2 is built for actual combat. It is the world's first real EVA, the official model, and the strongest!"

Sometimes you can't be too sure.

It’s easy to set a flag if it’s too full.

As Asuka had just finished speaking, she lost her balance and almost fell off the fence.

Fortunately, Ryoji Kaji was quick enough to grab Asuka's arm.

However, his expression was also ugly: "Explosion? How could an explosion happen out of nowhere!"

Look at each other.

The two men quickly left the deck.

Follow the sound and find the way there.

However, at the bow of the ship, the frigates on both sides were burning with strange purple flames.

"Could this be... the apostle?" Asuka said blankly.

Then his eyes lit up: "Opportunity——"

Ryoji Kaji was busy with other things and didn't check for a moment, so he didn't notice the eagerness on Asuka's face.

When he finally turned his attention back and tried to look for Asuka, he found that the beautiful girl in the dress had disappeared.

Three big question marks appeared above Kaji Ryoji's head.

Could it be that?
He smiled bitterly and looked somewhere.

……

【Alert! All units please keep a distance from each other.】

[Avoid the impact. Repeat. Avoid the impact! ]

[Wait for the captain's instructions, don't act rashly! ]

There is a noise in my ears.

The captain strode into the observation room and asked, "What happened? Why didn't you report the situation to us?"

The first mate who arrived here first said, "The Cymblin has sunk, and the Titus Andronicus has lost contact. Captain, our situation is not good."

The captain held up the telescope, his face full of bewilderment: "Damn it! What on earth just happened?"

The first mate hesitated: "I think it should be with ..."

The words were not finished.

Just then, Misato Katsuragi ran into the lookout room: "Hello, Captain, I'm here to help."

She looked at the two of them and said, "By the way, do you want a countermeasure for the unknown enemy intelligence?"

"Stop talking nonsense! We are in the middle of a battle. All irrelevant people please leave."

Katsuragi Misato was unmoved and said, "Just think about it, this must be an attack by the Apostles. What did I say before? If you encounter a situation that the fleet cannot handle, the command will automatically be transferred to me."

"Alright, alright, you don't have to say any more. Who said we can't handle it?" The captain refused to admit defeat and ordered, "All fleets, attack!"

Misato Katsuragi: "I've already said it - conventional weapons are useless against the Apostles."

The old captain frowned and said, "Stop talking nonsense!"

Hearing this, Katsuragi Misato shrugged. Even if you teach someone a thousand times, they won't learn it.

Teach people by doing it once.

I'm afraid that once this stubborn old guy has seen the power of the apostles, he will give up the hope in his heart.

……

At the command, all fleets began to attack.

However, the launched torpedoes could not catch up with the ghostly figure in the sea.

Kaji Ryoji had been observing the battlefield, muttering to himself with a complicated expression: "It's obvious that this kind of attack will definitely not be able to penetrate the AT force field."

After a pause, he continued, "By the way, why are the apostles here? Is it because of Unit 2…"

There are so many questions in my mind that I want answers to.

Kaji Ryoji looked at the ship in the distance and said, "Asuka, Asuka, your little thoughts are too obvious, but now is the time to allow you to be willful, please."

……

Asuka happened to meet Shinji who was hanging out in the cabin.

"Why are you here?"

"Never mind, it's not important..."

"Anyway, you stay here honestly and don't run around. I have something to tell you."

After she finished speaking, the girl ran down the stairs in two or three steps, leaving her personal belongings along the way.

Shinji: ???
He sighed.

I just feel that Asuka is too self-conscious.

It's easy to lose friends by doing this.

He bent down and picked up a random relic that the girl had left behind.

Shinji could faintly feel the heat and fragrance emanating from it, and his face blushed unconsciously.

"While it's hot! Hurry up while it's hot!"

Shinji suddenly came to his senses and silently said in his mind: "Ahem, what are we going to do while it's hot?"

"You're pretending to be me, right? How could you hide anything from me?"

Shinji tried to cover up his mistake by saying, "Don't get me wrong, I just... I just wanted to help Asuka put away her clothes. If they were picked up by a passing sailor, it would definitely cause a lot of trouble."

"What do you think of the sailors serving in the fleet? Perverts? Apologize to all the sailors in the world!"

Shinji: "I'm sorry, I was wrong. I will reflect deeply on it."

After a pause, he continued: "But I really picked it up to avoid trouble, please believe me!"

"Oh, yes, yes, I believe it."

"By the way, that girl is changing into her combat uniform downstairs. She hasn't made any movement for such a long time. Could something have happened? Why don't you take a look?"

Shinji:!!!
He stammered, "That...is not good..."

That's what it says.

This boy's body was very honest and he unconsciously stuck his head out.

Then he heard a scream.

"satyr!"

Shinji quickly retracted his head.

No matter how beautiful the scene was, it would definitely not be erased from his mind in a short period of time.

The girl, who had changed into her combat uniform, blushed, and it was unclear whether she was angry or embarrassed.

Taking a deep breath, she finally calmed down and whispered with great ritual: "Asuka, prepare to fight!"

As she spoke, she seemed to have thought of something, and took out another combat suit from her backpack, quickly ran upstairs, and handed it to Shinji.

"Hey, you have to come along too."

Shinji didn't react for a moment: "Huh?"

Asuka looked impatient: "I'm telling you to come along too! Watch me pilot the EVA with your own eyes."

She crossed her arms and said, "When the time comes, we'll know who's more capable."

"What's there to argue about? " Shinji didn't quite understand Asuka's thoughts.

However, Asuka seemed to be fighting him, and said with her hands on her hips: "Stop talking nonsense and change your clothes quickly."

As soon as he finished speaking, he actually got started.

"Alright, alright, I'll change. It's not proper to touch me." Shinji was shy after all. He had never seen such a situation before. Before he could even start to attack me with words or say something sarcastic, he was hit by a straight shot from Asuka.

Then he discovered a big problem - the combat suit didn't fit him perfectly, at least the one Asuka gave him was obviously a women's one.

Covering the protruding breastplate, Shinji's expression was very ugly.

Asuka ignored the order and ordered the injection plug of Unit 2 to be ejected.

"Okay, stop talking nonsense and get down quickly."

Shinji: "We don't have Miss Katsuragi Misato's permission yet, how can we..."

"That's fine." Asuka waved her hand and said, "But let me be frank. While you admire my superb driving skills, please don't disturb me."

Shinji said 'Oh'.

"LcL solution injection."

"Start booting."

“Start connecting the nervous system.”

"Remove the restriction lock."

"Start syncing."

Asuka seemed like a different person, calm and capable.

A series of commands were input, and the cockpit of Unit 2 suddenly changed.

However, it is not a familiar scene.

Red lights flashed everywhere.

Asuka turned back angrily: "Didn't you agree not to get in my way? You were thinking in Japanese just now."

Shinji: ???
"Empty your mind and think in German."

Shinji blinked and said, "I don't speak German."

Asuka sighed, as if resigned to her fate: "Forget it, there's nothing much to say to an idiot like you...Think about switching languages, and use Japanese as the standard."

She input the command again, and the cockpit finally returned to calm.

Asuka rubbed her hands together and gave the order: "Unit 2, attack!"

……

Brush brush!
Torpedoes flew and cannons fired.

However, due to the existence of the AT force field, conventional weapons cannot cause effective damage to the apostles.

In the observation room, Katsuragi Misato was watching anxiously, saying countless times: "In this situation, only EVA can have a chance of winning. Let my pilot go, the kids will definitely take care of that apostle."

"Stop talking nonsense, I'm not dead yet and I don't need the protection of a child!" The captain was stubborn and obstinate.

Just as he finished speaking, the canvas on the deck of the ship transporting Unit 2 was suddenly lifted up.

The captain was stunned for a moment, then reacted: "Damn it, who activated that giant robot?"

He wanted to give the order to stop Unit 2 from attacking.

Misato Katsuragi grabbed the microphone and said excitedly, "Don't worry about this old man, Asuka, let's go!"

"You must be joking! All EVA pilots are under our jurisdiction. You are not allowed to mess around!"

"What are you talking about? Is there any need to go through the formalities at this time?"

The captain and Misato Katsuragi had a big argument.

……

The cockpit of Unit 2.

Shinji: "First, we need to consider the energy problem, and be careful not to fall into the sea."

"I get it, you're so long-winded!" Asuka said disdainfully, "If you can think of a problem like this, why do you think I can't?"

As the girl was speaking, she suddenly exerted force with her feet.

Unit 2 stepped on the ship as if it were stepping on a floating board, moving forward all the way.

"There is a backup power supply on that ship. Let's charge it first, and then kill the apostles in the sea!" (End of this chapter)
