Shinji Ikari returns from Warhammer

But when she turned her head, she saw Shinji Ikari also had a serious look on his face, "She can't drink."

"I thought drinking was like this. Misato was always in this state when she was toasting with you at home." Ayanami Rei replied with a calm expression.

"But she drank beer, my friend." Shinji Ikari reminded him kindly, and then silently counted three numbers in his heart, one, two, two point three, two point four, two point five... Finally Ayanami Rei closed her eyes, Falling sideways...

"I knew it would be like this." Shinji Ikari sighed, "You will really suffer from drinking in the future."

Shinji Ikari patted the back of Sakura Suzuhara's hand, which was lying on his back, and signaled her to get up now.Picked up Rei Ayanami and placed her on the lounge chair next to her.He took out a new bath towel from the brown cabinet next to her and carefully covered her body.

Now only Hikaru Toki and Sakura Suzuhara are left.

"I don't blame you, Rei Ayanami doesn't know much about the standards in this area, just take a nap." Shinji Ikari turned to comfort Hikaru Toki.

"Really, haha..." Dong Muguang sat awkwardly next to him. As he drank half a glass of fruit wine, the chill caused by the night wind was all dissipated.

"Don't you need to wake Asuka up?" Suzuhara Sakura asked.

"There's no need to wake her up specifically for this. Tomorrow, everyone remember not to expose the fact that she stayed in my room overnight. Asuka is easily shy."

Dong Muguang admired Shinji Ikari's calmness. It was obviously you who opened the quilt, but it seemed to be for Asuka's sake.He told lies in a serious manner and was not ashamed when his lies were exposed.With a refreshing smile, he invited them to watch the night view and have supper.If Asuka had one-tenth of Ikari's determination, she would not worry about gains and losses, the past and the future.

"Actually, I never thought that one day I would watch the night view with you like I do now. After all, you didn't even come on a school trip." Dong Muguang said suddenly.

"We were attacking the apostles at that time." Shinji Ikari explained.

"That's not what I mean. It's just that I feel that we are actually very far away. The only connection apart from the classmates is Asuka, the middleman... When did it start?"

Because of Suzuhara Sakura's presence, Hikaru Toki didn't speak too directly, but Shinji Ikari understood that she was referring to the ambiguous relationship now.

"It's probably fate." Also because of the presence of Suzuhara Sakura, Shinji Ikari could only answer this way.

At this time, the night wind ruffled the surface of the lake, and layers of ripples appeared in the silver water.Dong Muguang tightened his bath towel, and there was a hint of coolness in the night breeze.Perhaps under the influence of alcohol, Dong Muguang was more talkative than usual.

She stood up and leaned on the glass railing, looking in the direction of Mount Fuji. She became quiet for no reason, and her heart slowly fell back to its original position.After so much time, she was still in a very distant dream, feeling that there was a distance between her and reality, neither close nor far.

The late night snacks and drinks disappeared quickly. The boys and girls drank and laughed. Sometimes they talked about interesting things in the class while the cups were clinking. When they talked about happiness, Suzuhara Sakura would also intervene in the conversation. According to her words, she and everyone The fate also started very early.

"What would you do if Rei-chan and I didn't bother you?" Suzuhara Sakura asked with malicious intent.

"I can chat, read newspapers, and express my life plans." Shinji Ikari answered.

"Are you really not going any further?" Sakura Suzuhara lay on Shinji Ikari's back again, like a sloth.

"Hey! Before we talk about this kind of topic, would you like to ask for the opinions of the person involved?" Hikaru Toki shrank back, wrapped himself in a bath towel, and stared at Shinji Ikari and Sakura Suzuhara like a cat that didn't want to cooperate.

Suzuhara Sakura pursed her lips in disgust, "Hikaru-chan, you are just too old-fashioned. You won't be able to capture a man's heart like this."

"I won't talk to you about this anymore." Dong Muguang abruptly changed the subject again. The night wind also made her a little cold, so she turned around and waded into the hot spring pool.

The comfortable water temperature instantly dissipated the original cold air. Hikaru Toki let out a comfortable sigh, turned around, poured a handful of water in the direction of Shinji Ikari and Sakura Suzuhara, and shouted, "Come in, the hot spring is very comfortable."

Shinji Ikari walked into the bath. Like Hikaru Toki, he was just wrapped in a bath towel.But before he could fully dive into the water, a palm-sized black shadow hit his chest straight. Shinji Ikari caught it, and it turned out to be a leather boot.

"Take off your clothes for me, Nissan." Sakura Suzuhara sat on the edge of the hot spring pool and raised her left foot towards Shinji Ikari.

Shinji Ikari walked up to Suzuhara Sakura and squatted down. He couldn't help but reach out and hold her ankles. He lifted Suzuhara Sakura's feet and placed them on his legs. He untied the thin straps of the delicate leather shoes tied around her ankles. , then gently took off the leather boots from her feet and threw them on the floor.

Suzuhara Sakura's feet became even more slender after taking off her leather boots. The pantyhose were tightly stretched on her soft and plump feet. The soles of the pantyhose were soaked by the water in the hot spring pool. They were tight. It stuck to the slightly sunken soles of her feet, and the protruding toes on them looked like a row of light red petals.

The big toe is plump and well-proportioned, and the other four toes gradually become shorter in sequence. The little toe is like a grape, covered with transparent stockings and exuding an attractive luster. Use your fingers to twist the five crystal-clear toes.The fleshy red heel looks like the tender flesh of a newly ripened navel orange, but it is also soft and slippery, forming an indescribable arc when viewed from the side.

Suzuhara Sakura's pantyhose-wrapped legs were gently raised, and Shinji Ikari ran his hands up her smooth thighs, then slowly took off her pantyhose... red tie, black skirt, and then to the end When he took a step forward, he threw a bath towel to her.

"The next step is up to you." Shinji Ikari said.

"Ah, I hate men who give up halfway." Sakura Suzuhara muttered softly with her head wrapped in a towel.

However, following Shinji Ikari's gaze, she could see that Ayanami Rei, who had been sitting on the recliner, suddenly woke up and was sitting up from the recliner, holding her head.

(I can’t write any more. Maybe Urahata will watch the group vote when the time comes)

--------

--------

When Asuka woke up early in the morning, she was still upset about her inability to drink.

"I didn't say anything nonsense last night, did I?" In the restaurant, Asuka and Shinji Ikari, who were holding plates and selecting food, walked together and asked him in a low voice.

"No, do you still have any influence on last night?" Shinji Ikari picked up a small bowl of goose cubes and put it on the dinner plate. He was going to eat rice with goose soup in the morning.

"It seems to have some impression." Asuka thought carefully about it. Something did happen last night, but her will was very unstable.When I'm about to fall asleep, I only remember my friend's voice. What - she looks brave and confident on the outside... You need to help her more, Asuka is a perfect girl... Ignore her typical hard words and soft heart, and get closer to her heart. ...ahhhh...

To actually come to the door late at night specifically for her own business... Thinking of this, Asuka looked at Hikaru Toki who was already seated, and her proud heart melted instantly.

"Hikari-chan is such a kind person." Asuka sighed.

"Let's finish our meal early. We have to go to Hakone later." Shinji Ikari said.

There are many things that can be called Hakone, including the Hakone headquarters of New Tokyo City [-], the Hakone Mountains, and Hakone Hot Springs.Asuka guessed that she was going to the Hakone Mountains, and the mission mentioned in the text message was probably related to it.

Two hours later, a simple silver van drove out of Hakone Onsen and headed deeper into the mountains.

At this moment, Asuka finally felt like carrying out a secret mission.He and Rei Ayanami were sitting in the back seat. The driver in the front seat was a master wearing a Hakone hot spring uniform, and in the passenger seat was Shinji Ikari, who was sleeping with his arms crossed.

A huge black shadow appeared in front of it. It seemed to be an abandoned mine. The scale was no less than the entrance to the current headquarters in Hakone, but it was much simpler. It was made of pure steel without any modification, as if it had been abandoned for a long time.

Asuka knew that there once was a huge copper mine in Hakone, a wonder of world art hidden hundreds of meters underground.It is said that the winding passages built by humans are more than 300 kilometers long, and there are extremely spacious caves inside. However, this copper mine was abandoned as early as the last century.

But it looks like it has been reactivated.

As the van drove into the entrance of the mine, Asuka's eyes suddenly went dark. Until her vision gradually adapted to the darkness, the driver had already parked the car.

"Please follow me." The black owl-like combat personnel appeared straight back, and the leader, the second lieutenant with a bar and a star on his shoulder, said to the qualified candidates who got off the car.

Their bodies are strong and their eyes are sharp. Their military uniforms are obviously different from those of Hakone's security department, and they have a certain sense of luxury.Their collars shone with cold silver light, but the military emblem was green. If you look closely, you can see that they are a pair of sun flag emblems wrapped by the wings of Japan's national bird, the green pheasant.

"Self-Defense Forces?" Asuka recognized it, but hasn't her NERV always had a bad relationship with the Self-Defense Forces?

The leading second lieutenant glanced at Asuka and said nothing more.Instead, he led the way to the elevator entrance, bowed slightly and said, "Please."

If the original surface was just a rough mine, Asuka's vision suddenly became clearer as the elevator descended.Until she saw the three short and fat machines in the huge underground cave.

In fact, in the eyes of Shinji Ikari, he is not short at all, let alone fat, but Asuka, who is used to seeing EVA, suddenly sees these machines, but she is used to seeing the nine-foot-tall Jade Kirin Lu Junyi, and suddenly sees the 1.4-meter Wu Dalang. Feel.

Maybe even more exaggerated than this.

Asuka looked at the old god beside Shinji Ikari. Although she couldn't figure it out, she knew that Shinji Ikari must understand what happened.

-------------Chapter Dividing Line---------------

"Codenamed Typhoon Beast, its official name is the first-generation Strategic Self-Defense Force's mobile weapon dedicated to combating large individual threats, called AKASIMA." Shinji Ikari put his hands behind his back and looked at the behemoth in the test site below, "Since the EVA landed After the world stage, all forces covet this weapon that can compete with the gods. There are countless people who have imitated it, but only the Strategic Self-Defense Force’s imitation is the most successful!”

"Why?" Asuka couldn't help but ask.

"Because it is the technology delivered to us by your NERV, and this is the basis of our cooperation." A familiar clear female voice sounded from behind.

Asuka was just a little stunned when she saw the giant in front of her, but when she heard the familiar female voice, Asuka frowned deeply.

A new figure walked out of the elevator behind her again. The girl wearing a blue and white combat uniform took off her helmet gracefully. Her burgundy eyeshadow was shining. You could see that she had dressed up carefully before she appeared in front of her. in front of.

"Kirishima's real name, we were classmates before." The girl smiled and reached out to Asuka.

Asuka said that she doesn't care about Shinji Ikari's previous girlfriends.In her opinion, those Yingying Yanyan were just A, B, B, D before her appearance, used to set off her arrival.Will you pity the weak? Asuka has always ignored losers.

The combined threat of those ex-girlfriends is not even as great as that of their own penguin, Ping Ping. Although this comparison is insulting to Ping Ping, in Asuka's opinion, that is the case.From beginning to end, the only girl she considered her rival was Rei Ayanami.

But Kirishima's real name, a classmate with whom he has almost no interactions with others in this class, is special.Asuka was more annoyed by her senses than seeing her as a rival.

She has a very similar face to Ayanami Rei, and even her voice is exactly the same.Arrogant and arrogant at heart, Hikaru Toki even privately said that her smile was very similar to his own, and that she and Ayanami Rei both had their birthdays on the same day... It was almost like they were imitations that randomly cut out some of the characteristics of himself and Ayanami Rei. , Asuka didn't like her the first time she saw her.

If Asuka's attitude towards those ex-girlfriends is that of flowers supporting the princess, Ayanami Rei's attitude is that of an opponent, and Kirishima's real name's attitude is that of disgust.

Especially now, when she reaches out her hand condescendingly towards him like a hostess, she is even more disgusted.

But Asuka, you can't lose in terms of aura!Asuka puffed up her chest and held the extended right hand, "Asuka, the second most qualified person, is the exclusive pilot of Unit [-] of NERV Europe."

Asuka stared at the green eyes across from her with blue eyes, thinking to herself, did you hear that, a qualified person of a small organization that is not worth mentioning, the level gap between you and me is still very big, work hard, little one. Guy.

But I don’t know if Kirishima didn’t understand Asuka’s hint, or if she ignored it completely. After saying hello to Asuka, she smiled and hugged Ayanami Rei who was standing next to her, “Long time no see, Rei-chan!”

"Well, long time no see." Ayanami Rei accepted Kirishima's real name's hug with an expressionless face.

Asuka stared at Ayanami Rei with wide eyes, without any emotion of rejection or disgust on her face. How could you do this? !Now that the enemy has reached the door, you actually let me fight alone. Asuka turned her head and stopped looking at them.

However, after hugging Rei Ayanami, Kirishima's real name smiled and explained the content of this mission to everyone.

In the past 14 years since EVA was first released, all countries have wanted to own their ultimate war weapon.The end of the Apostles may also mean the beginning of the civil war, and with the cooperation with NERV, the desired technology can be exchanged.The Self-Defense Force decided to formally form this special force, so it launched a large-scale selection process for qualified candidates.

The report of the Marduk Agency has revealed that the people who are most adaptable to the neural control system are not adults but children, so all candidates are between 7 and 14 years old. The once global selection of qualified candidates is still a challenge for many people. The memory is still fresh.According to the plan of the Self-Defense Forces and the Ministry of Internal Affairs, this special force will take shape within a year. The next question is whether these aircraft can really be put into actual combat, which also needs to be verified by qualified pilots.

"Compared to us qualified candidates who have just been selected, you pilots from NERV headquarters are battle-tested and are the testers we dream of." Kirishima's real name was not stingy about the EVA pilots from their headquarters. Members praised.

"I have a question." Ayanami Rei, who had been silent all this time, suddenly spoke.

"Well, you tell me." Kirishima's real name smiled and looked at Ayanami Rei, who looked very similar to himself.

"You call AKASIMA's pilots qualified, are they the same as EVA's qualified?" Ayanami Rei looked at her.

"Same," Kirishima's real name nodded, "To be precise, our method of selecting qualified candidates is the one used by the Marduk Agency, that is, people who can adapt to this neural control system. Qualified candidates are not rare. , all the students in the class were qualified as pilots, and all members of our Large Threat Individual Combat Mobile Force were also qualified, but there were very few excellent pilots."

"Sometimes it doesn't necessarily mean that NERV pilots are better. In my opinion, your results are just like that. It's just that you are more fortunate than other qualified people to become EVA pilots and fight against the apostles." The voice. sounded from behind.

Asuka turned around with some displeasure and saw an equally familiar face, "Musashi, seriously speaking, we are also classmates." The young man wearing a blue suit of qualified candidates stretched out his hand towards Asuka.

Kirishima's real names are Musashi and Keita. They were all transfer students who transferred to the Third New Tokyo Municipal High School at the same time. They were also among the first batch of pilots of the Strategic Self-Defense Force.

Of course, for Asuka, she only has a vague impression of Kirishima's real name, Shinji Ikari's ex-girlfriend.

"I'm sorry, it's not like some stinky fish or shrimp that I haven't heard of can say hello to me." Asuka smiled, facing the hand extended by the classmate from the next class, her attitude was very cold, with her arms folded across her chest, a little There was no thought of saving face for him.

Asuka's character is somewhat self-centered. Although she hates Kirishima's real name, he is very friendly and she will not act too cold.But the rubbish qualified person who jumped out of nowhere in front of him brazenly said that the pilots who had fought against the apostles were not as good as them, and Asuka would certainly not give him face.

Especially the AKASIMA002 label on the other person's chest made her even more displeased.Does such a humble guy deserve to be the second most qualified person like himself?

As expected, Musashi was still a young man, and it was a bit embarrassing to be choked like this.He glanced at Kirishima Mana and Ikari Shinji who were standing not far away, snorted coldly, and then looked at Asuka, "I thought what would happen if you, as the driver of NERV, came here and faced the senior leaders of both sides? A heroic hero. Unexpectedly, she turned out to be just an arrogant little girl."

Asuka raised the corners of her mouth and ignored him completely.

How about letting your strength speak for itself? "

"Do you want to compete with me, a piece of junk like a pilot?" Asuka raised her eyebrows, and then a sarcastic smile appeared on her lips.

"Anyway, we want to test whether these machines can really be put into actual combat, so it would be better to have a real battle." A sarcastic smile appeared on Musashi's lips, "Or are you afraid? You are worried that your paper tiger nature will be broken if you poke it. .”

"I will tear your mouth apart." Asuka said, then looked at Kirishima Mana who was standing not far away, "It's okay, Kirishima-san."

Kirishima's real name was a little embarrassed, "This is against the rules, and I don't care."

"There's nothing wrong with that. That friend is right. After all, it's all about testing whether these machines can really be put into actual combat, so a real battle would be the best." Shinji Ikari raised his head and looked at the center higher up. The man in black military uniform in the command room said, "No problem, General."

The man standing behind the glass smiled and made an OK gesture towards her. Asuka briefly made eye contact with the second qualified person named Musashi, and took the elevator to the steel platform in mid-air.This is obviously a testing ground modeled after Hakone, even the landing platform is the same.

The female mechanical voice from the evacuated test site came out on the radio to inform everyone. The researchers responsible for the final debugging stood up, trotted away, and took the elevators located in various corners to the aerial platform.

A few minutes ago, there were people coming and going downstairs, but now it was all empty, leaving only Asuka and Musashi who spoke provocatively.

"Is it really okay?" At this time, Ayanami Rei, who followed Shinji Ikari to the central control room at the top, was a little worried. "This is Asuka's first time flying this new machine."

"We made AKASIMA using the technology provided by NERV. Its cockpit and operation panel are basically the same as those of EVA." Kirishima's real name said with a smile next to him, "But Musashi must be being clever and want to Stepping on Soryu-san shows his value."

The second half of Kirishima's real name has not yet been spoken. Otherwise, if it was just a test, why not challenge Shinji Ikari?

"But don't underestimate our pilots. Musashi has been running in with AKASIMA for half a month in advance, and he is more familiar with how to control the aircraft than the second most qualified person." The man who was standing behind the glass just now walked over and looked in front of him. Shinji Ikari said, "Would you like to guess who will win?"

The thin-faced man in front of me looks ordinary, but his iconic glasses and deep and powerful voice indicate that the person sitting at the scene is the representative of the Strategic Self-Defense Forces-Tsurumaki Kazuya-there are rumors that he is. Can represent the entire military department.

This big shot is also a general himself, and he has the deepest relationship with Ikari Gendo. He has been dealing with NERV ever since he had to admit that EVA had to fight against the water apostles after they failed in the initial battle.

Among the highest echelons of the military, he may be the one who knows the Evangelion best.

"It's no fun just guessing about winning or losing." Shinji Ikari said.

Tsurumaki Kazuya was stunned, "Do you want to bet something?"

Shinji Ikari smiled, did not answer any more, and just opened his palms to Tsurumaki Kazuya.

At this time, Asuka entered the cockpit, and she was not used to it not being filled with ionized LCL liquid.But the familiar operation page in front of her helped her regain her composure.

She was a little nervous at first, because she and Ayanami Rei thought that after all, it was a strange machine and they might not even be able to figure out how to control it, let alone how to win.
