Shinji Ikari returns from Warhammer

The second time I came, I felt a little familiar.

Shinji Ikari pressed the doorbell as usual, but there was still no sound.

Shinji Ikari had no intention of using a wire to pry open the door like he did last time. He put his hands in his pockets and looked sideways at the incandescent light at the stairs behind him, as if he was drifting away.

"It's been half a month, and you haven't thought about repairs?" Shinji Ikari lowered his eyes.

Recalling the dirty and messy feeling he had when he first came to Ayanami Rei's room, he couldn't help but think of Katsuragi Misato.When he first stepped into the house, he almost fainted from the smell of rotting food mixed with beer and fermentation.Misato Katsuragi is also careless and has extremely different living habits.He usually loves to drink beer and throws it away, which seems to be even worse than Rei Ayanami's.

But for some reason, Shinji Ikari suddenly thought of the blue-haired girl huddled in the corner of the swimming pool with her knees in her hands during the physical education class yesterday.

His heart tightened slightly.With a soft creaking sound, the metal door opened.

It was still a dark room, and Shinji Ikari rubbed his nose the moment he entered the door.To be honest, it doesn't smell very good.

The girl's body odor is mixed with the musty smell caused by rain and humidity, as well as the smell of sweat and blood.When Shinji Ikari stepped into the door, the sink that was once piled with dishes and chopsticks was empty this time, but there was a row of unwashed clothes piled on the washing machine.

There were piles of white socks with yellowing soles, and light-colored socks with stains on the bottoms were piled together with coats and school uniforms. The garbage bags at the door were filled with blood-stained bandages.The master bedroom...oh, the master bedroom is surprisingly clean.

Shinji Ikari squinted his eyes slightly to adapt to the dim light in the room, and his long eyelashes drooped slightly.He saw the neatly arranged clothes on the bed, which he should have prepared to change into, but this time he did not see the rosary he gave her.

"Ikari Shinji?" An ethereal voice sounded behind him.

The girl's unique voice made Shinji unmistakable, but he didn't turn around.Because the moment he stepped into the door, he heard the sound of water coming from the direction of the bathroom, and it was naturally self-evident as to what Rei Ayanami was doing.

If it was for another girl, he should open the bathroom door politely and ask her politely if he could take a shower together.

But he might not be interested in Ayanami Rei, or her skinny and slender figure... Ikari Shinji thought to himself, then picked up the underwear on the top of the neat clothes and put them on the bedside table next to him.

"Put your clothes on first." Shinji Ikari said.

With the rustling sound coming from behind, Shinji Ikari looked at the window sill, and there was actually a handful of gardenias in this dark room.

The flowering period has long passed, but it is still alive, which makes Shinji Ikari a little surprised.

When she turned around, she saw Rei Ayanami wiping her head with a white bath towel, wearing only the white underwear she handed to her and a pair of white socks.

"Huh? Why are you still wearing socks?" Shinji Ikari rubbed his nose, and the cold aura he had deliberately created was instantly broken.

As the old saying goes, if you want to be more naked, put on a pair of socks.Shinji Ikari looked at Ayanami Rei in front of him, "Good guy, I didn't expect that a young girl like you would actually understand the ambition of the sex embryo so well."

"Because it's in the bathroom." Ayanami Rei answered.

Shinji Ikari was about to say something, but he saw the rose rosary hanging on her right wrist.Obviously she hadn't seen it just now, but it turned out that she was taking it with her while taking a shower.

"Do you want to take it back?" Ayanami Rei also noticed his gaze.

"There's no reason to take back a gift you've given me. Misato Katsuragi asked me to give you a new security card. There are a lot of spies lately, so don't be fooled by some strangers."

"Yes." Ayanami Rei walked to Shinji Ikari, picked up the school uniform on the bed and put it on.

After thinking about it carefully, Shinji Ikari realized that he had only seen Ayanami Rei in school uniforms and combat uniforms. She seemed to only have school uniforms, and suddenly he felt that the girl in front of him was a little pitiful.

"Ayanami-san."

"What?" Ayanami turned around.

"Are you hungry?"

Ayanami Rei was stunned. As if in response to Shinji Ikari's question, her stomach rumbled several times, which was extremely disappointing.

"Let's go to the fourth area to eat. And your room needs to be ventilated. Mushrooms are almost growing." Shinji Ikari took the last school uniform jacket and threw it in front of Ayanami Rei. He stood up and opened the window.Crossing his arms with his chest, he leaned back and looked at the scenery outside.

Holding the clothes in her arms, looking at the profile of Shinji Ikari, and recalling the moment when she was violently pulled out of the cockpit in the test site, Ayanami Rei suddenly felt something.

She felt like that was her brother.

PS: I am the real heroine Asuka, today is Crazy Thursday.Now I have 50 V, watch me blow the idiot author’s head off!

Chapter 26: You are not allowed to fight with your comrades on the battlefield.

The 190th school district has many food-related facilities and has the most restaurants in Hakone.Legend has it that delicacies from more than [-] countries around the world can be found here.

Compared with Rei Ayanami, who was silent with her hands folded on her belly, Shinji Ikari was obviously an acquaintance here. He greeted the friends passing by skillfully, took out coins and bought the roses sold by the white girl on the roadside. The street vendor gave flowers to the young proprietress in an apron, and even said goodbye with a smile.

Many people noticed Ayanami Rei, who was leading behind Shinji Ikari, and asked jokingly about her identity, wondering if she was his little girlfriend.

The reason why I added the word "little" in front of my girlfriend is because Shinji Ikari doesn't look like what he should look like at his age.And the girls of the same age he led naturally pale in comparison.

But when Shinji Ikari faced the teasing from these uncles and sisters, he stopped Ayanami Rei's shoulder and said with a smile, "Guess what."

Ayanami Rei clenched her palms slightly, her whole body tense at this moment.She instinctively put her hand on her chest, as if she could feel the heartbeat inside.She didn't know why her heart was beating so fast, but she instinctively looked sideways at Shinji Ikari's side face, which was so close.The boy's smile was faint. Under the warm white light, she seemed to be able to clearly see the undetectable fuzz on Shinji Ikari's cheeks, and his skin seemed transparent.

"It doesn't really look like it, but since it's Ai, it should be a matter of time." The uncle from the seafood restaurant next to him said with a smile.Compared with those booing guys, as an old man, he could see clearly.You can also see the little girl's restraint and panic at the moment when Shinji Ikari put his arm around her shoulders.

According to his understanding of Shinji Ikari, to this extent.Try your best to break through her defenses, and you can take it today.

Shinji Ikari touched his face and said, "Of course not. I'm fine, but the girl's reputation is more important." After saying that, he took Ayanami Rei into the seafood shop, "Boss, do you have any big products? "

"If you open your mouth, there must be one." The boss smiled and touched his apron. He guessed wrong this time.But coming to business is the most important thing.

As he spoke, the boss took out two strange giant shrimps with orange-yellow shells from the tank and said, "If the giant rhino shrimps are enough, I only get less than ten here a year."

"Then just these two in front of you, are there any more?" Shinji Ikari nodded.

"Then let's have the cedar sticks again. It's crispy and delicious."

"Today we will have a meal of glutinous rice and vinegar hot pot. Let's get two boxes of sea urchins. I want the top quality. You can take the rest of the boss."

"As usual, let's get some oysters and starry sky abalone. Listen to uncle, you're absolutely right to eat more. I'll treat you to these two, and finally I'll get you some white spiny shrimps to stuff into the squid."

“A new way to eat it that I have never tried before.”

"So you are absolutely right to come to my place! Ga~ga~ga~"

Ayanami Rei tugged on the skirt of her school uniform. Shinji Ikari seemed to notice her nervousness and patted the back of her hand with a smile.

"The boss is from Seris Hainan. It's normal that his accent was a bit strange just now. Although he looks fierce, in fact, his favorite cartoon is Crayon Shin-chan."

"No, I mean it's okay to say so much." Ayanami Rei actually wanted to say more than that, but in the end, only a few simple words came out.

"Of course, every time Misato is in charge of cooking, I come here to eat something first. Then I go to the Japanese restaurant over there to pick something out."

Half an hour later, Shinji Ikari was sitting in the private room of the first seafood restaurant.They didn't have to wait too long. The beautiful girl in cheongsam rang the bell in the private room. On the white ceramic tableware in the dining car was the seafood dinner ordered by Shinji Ikari.For Ayanami Rei, who only eats fast food and the headquarters canteen, the exquisiteness is better than any dish she has ever tasted.

The waiters also brought their own prepared soul dipping sauce, and helped Shinji Ikari and Rei Ayanami set it up in the middle of the big sandalwood table. After arranging the seasonings and various cut and plated fresh food, they solemnly put the chicken on the table. The dregs and vinegar hot pot with a lump base was placed in the center. After doing all this smoothly, it was like they came quietly, and then retreated quietly, leaving only Shinji Ikari and Rei Ayanami.

Shinji Ikari seemed to know Ayanami Rei's concerns. He took the lead in picking up a piece of sea urchin, put it on the oyster, took a deep breath, and then took the lead to devour it.

"This is to celebrate your discharge from the hospital. The ingredients are not quite complete, so I'll make do with it." Shinji Ikari said, "Let's move! Let's move!"

This is no longer a matter of compromise. Ayanami Rei looked at the dazzling array of dishes and Shinji Ikari who was enjoying his meal.The dishes in front of her were undoubtedly luxurious to her.But for Ayanami Rei, she didn't have any appetite.He just took out the lettuce next to him and chewed it gently.

"That guy Misato, cooking is really bad. Even fast food can be made into dark dishes. Have you ever tried instant noodles mixed with curry sauce? I was forced to take a bite." Shinji Ikari muttered non-stop. , but suddenly heard a light voice coming from across the seat.

"Ikari-san, do you hate me?"

Shinji Ikari suddenly raised his head and looked at Ayanami Rei, who was sitting motionless across from him.

"Why do you ask that?" Shinji Ikari said.

"Because of you, you seem to be extra cold and impatient with me." Ayanami Rei lowered her head, her long eyelashes drooping.

Ayanami Rei recalled that there was Shinji Ikari who was studying along the way. He seemed to have a smile on his face for every girl, whether it was an older grandmother or a young girl.Just like in the eyes of the girls in the class, he is a perfect boy who is elegant and polite.

But I don't always have a good look towards her alone.

"According to the rules of the Sacristans battlefield, knight partners on the battlefield cannot have personal feelings. Secondly, have I ever said that I hate pretentious girls?" Shinji Ikari said.

As for why there are such battlefield rules, it’s a long story.Behind every outrageous rule, there is an even more outrageous story.

At this time, Ayanami Rei finally heard Ikari Shinji's answer, and saw the young man in front of him put down his bowls and chopsticks, and there seemed to be no emotion behind his smiling face.

"I don't know what your suspicions about me are, or how I should treat you in your heart. Speaking of which, you are my comrade, and I am naturally concerned about your safety. But something like this is so confusing. It’s best not to bring emotions to work, and it’s best not to bring them to the battlefield.”

Shinji Ikari didn't know if Ayanami Rei in front of him heard what he said, but she did nod lightly towards him.

"That's very good." In a flash, Shinji Ikari showed his bright smile again, "Come and try this starry sky abalone, it's very good for girls. Don't be shy, you will know after you try it."

Chapter 27: The pull of the soul

Almost all the dazzling seafood was destroyed by Shinji Ikari alone.Ayanami Rei just finished eating the roll of lettuce, and then boiled the mushrooms and vegetable platter to complete today's lunch.At this moment, both sides were surprised by the other's appetite.

After drinking and eating, Shinji Ikari and Rei Ayanami's cell phones rang at the same time.

Shinji Ikari glanced at Rei Ayanami, who was sitting across from him. He turned on his phone first and saw an unreceived text message written on the shining standby screen.

[First Lieutenant Ikari Shinji:]

[The restart experiment of Unit Zero will be carried out two hours later. 】

[Please arrive at the first testing site with the third team members at the designated time and be ready. 】

【Your loyalty is here, MAGI. 】

[PS: Lunch has been prepared for you. 】

Shinji Ikari looked at Rei Ayanami, who was sitting opposite. At this time, she also raised her head and looked at him.

"Just in time, we've eaten. Let's set off."

Ayanami Rei took out a wet wipe and wiped the corners of her mouth without any objection.

…………

…………

Slowly descending along the long and narrow elevator, Rei Ayanami followed Shinji Ikari into the huge gray building.

This building is located in a prominent position inside Hakone, in the core second district, but its style is very different from those church-like buildings.

The entire NERV headquarters actually has a very strong religious flavor. The offices are all located in a church-like building with spires, bell towers, marble sculptures, and huge mosaic glass windows.But this building is as plain as a piece of white rock, surrounded by white Roman columns. The ceilings are extremely high, giving people the feeling of a temple. It is not overshadowed by those exquisite church-style buildings because of its simplicity.

But Shinji Ikari only glanced at it from a distance, because that was the central dogma area.Even with his own authority, he is not allowed to set foot in it.

[Hello, Lieutenant Ikari.The Central Dogma District office area is now open to you.The express lane has been opened for you. Please take the direct lane No. [-] with the members of the third team. 】

The mechanical female voice of the MAGI system brought the two people back to reality from the sacred solemnity of the medieval church.Shinji Ikari put away his security card and motioned for Ayanami Rei to follow him.

The test site where Unit Zero was originally located was the second test site.

However, the damage caused by Unit Zero when it went berserk at that time was too exaggerated. Although it was quickly rushed down and repairs were completed, there was no safety test yet.Let’s use the first testing ground where Unit [-] is located first.

At this moment, Shinji Ikari, together with Misato Katsuragi and Ritsuko Akagi, stood in front of the glass of the control room, looking at the huge yellow machine in front of them.Rei Ayanami has been loaded into the cockpit, and with the connection to the spinal cord system, she has successfully sunk into the body of Unit Zero.

"Rei, can you hear me?" Ritsuko Akagi's voice sounded in Ayanami Rei's ears.

"Yes." Ayanami Rei's unique voice sounded in the control room.

"Okay, the auxiliary voltage is normal, the body functions of the qualified person are normal, the psychological pressure value of the qualified person is within the normal range, and the connections of various interface systems are normal."

Perhaps because of the experience of his first rampage, this time the inspection of Unit Zero was particularly careful, after making sure that all operations were normal.Ritsuko Akagi finally spoke.

"Very good, now start the restart experiment of Unit Zero. Now start the first connection." Ritsuko Akagi gave the order.

"The main power supply is plugged in normally. The operating voltage has exceeded the critical value."

Reports from technicians at each link indicated that everything was normal in the first stage.But this is not beyond everyone's expectations.Because the last rampage was not in the first stage, but what happened in the second stage when linking with Unit Zero.

The reason for the rampage has not yet been found.This is also the psychological shadow of many technical personnel.

However, they couldn't help but look at the third qualified person standing aside, Captain Ikari Shinji.If he was around, even if Unit Zero went berserk again, he would be able to complete the suppression again.

After receiving the reply from the technical staff at this link, Ritsuko Akagi nodded.

"Start the second phase of the link." Ritsuko Akagi gave the order.

At this time, all the people working looked stern and started working in an orderly manner.

"Start linking the pilot and Unit Zero."

"The circuit is connected and everything is normal."

"The pulsation and resonance are normal, and the synchronization rate is normal."

At this time, in the cockpit of Unit Zero, the scenery in front of Rei Ayanami changed from the original red cockpit to a mosaic shrouded in white light, just like the warm white world surrounded by AT positions, and finally formed the scenery in the external test site.
