Shinji Ikari returns from Warhammer

Maybe her lifespan may not be as long as Ayanami Rei's. Ritsuko Akagi smiled, as if she wasn't too afraid.

Five days later, perhaps the Red comes, and all old life forms disappear.But it may also be the same as the eleven apostles' attacks in the past, and there will still be a calm tomorrow after getting through it.

Ritsuko Akagi feels that she is lucky because most ordinary people do not know that the end of the world is coming.

The atmosphere at No. [-] New Tokyo Municipal High School is quite joyful.Because the end of this month marks the arrival of the six-week summer vacation.

"Good morning, Shinji-kun. The teacher said that your homework can be delivered late." Hikaru Toki greeted Shinji Ikari and Asuka who appeared at the door together.

"Humph, that's how it should be!" Asuka raised her eyebrows, "If you still use that old-fashioned perfect score system, Japanese education is really hopeless."

Asuka skillfully sat down in front of Dong Muguang and put down her schoolbag.But what she didn't notice was that her friend was frequently looking at Shinji Ikari behind her.

Dong Muguang took a deep breath, her thoughts were confused.

After that day, she thought that her relationship with Shinji Ikari was just an ordinary classmate.Even if they meet again one day, it will only be as friends, classmates, or the relationship between bridesmaid and groom.

But the aunt who has not arrived yet makes Dong Muguang think of some possibility.

I obviously thought about it over and over last night and came up with the wording, but when I saw Shinji Ikari, I didn't even say a word of the lines I had conceived in my mind.

Dong Muguang looked away, what should he say.She instinctively touched her belly, always feeling a little warm inside.

--------

Ayanami Rei's soul continues the unique soul setting.

Ayanami Rei's body——

There are still many settings or guesses about Ayanami Rei's vegetarian diet.

It is said that Rei Ayanami is a vegetarian, respects life and does not eat meat or fish.

Some people also say that Ayanami Rei's body is defective. If she eats flesh and blood, it will cause the gene chain to break and the gene to collapse.And Ayanami Rei's ability to swallow arms and complete her body like an apostle and EVA is evidence of this.

I continue this setting here.

Ikari Yuantang once told Rei that your body is wrapped in an AT force field.And this sentence itself is nonsense, because according to the EVA setting, everyone's body is like this.But when this sentence appears here, it feels like it can be slightly over-interpreted.

Because Ayanami Rei's body itself is unstable and must be wrapped by a force field. The TV version has to go to Akagi Ritsuko's for recuperation every once in a while, and occasionally has to soak in the breeding cabin.

In the new theatrical version, they will even collapse and die naturally.

Of course, this is the setting for Rei Ayanami in the current world, and it will be different in different worlds.In other world lines, Ayanami Rei has given birth to a child. I will find some pictures and post them if I find some time.

[-]: Waltz of the Outsider

The early morning sunlight shines through the old-fashioned wooden windows onto the rough blackboard, and the smell of sweat permeates the entire classroom.

The extremely smart Mediterranean teacher stood on the podium, holding a piece of chalk and loudly said, "The second year of junior high school is a critical period. Don't think that you can relax during the summer vacation. The task of connecting the past and the next is very important. Don't go back to school and forget about everything." If I can’t do it anymore, I’ll cry again and go to the teacher or classmates for tutoring!”

Teacher Yamanaka’s voice was loud and clear, but the hearts of the students in the audience were not here.Although it was only a six-week summer vacation, it made everyone happy.I have already started planning what to do in these six weeks so as not to waste this youth.

Teacher Yamanaka pushed up his old-fashioned black round glasses with some helplessness.He also came from his student days, so he naturally knew the thoughts of these classmates.What he didn't expect was that Dong Muguang, the squad leader he had always been proud of, was also absent-minded.

Although he was sitting upright in the third row, as a veteran teacher with more than ten years of teaching experience, he could tell at a glance that the other person's mind had long been elsewhere.Probably it has something to do with the driver in the class. When he sees the other person's eyes, he always drifts towards him intentionally or unintentionally.

But isn't Hikaru Toki a friend of Asuka's classmate? Although Mr. Yamanaka is older, he still has a gossipy heart.

Dong Muguang wasn't sure at first, but it wasn't until she suddenly felt dizzy when she got up this morning that she realized a possibility. So throughout the class, she would touch her belly through her shirt from time to time, imagining how to do it. Conversation with Shinji Ikari.

In this regard, she still quite trusts Shinji Ikari, because he does give people a very reliable feeling.At this moment, all she could think about was what to do if there really was one. To be honest, she didn't really want to get rid of it, but it didn't seem to be a good idea at her age.

More importantly, she wanted to hear Shinji Ikari's opinion.

Once again, Dong Muguang instinctively looked in the direction of Shinji Ikari.The boy still held his chin with one hand and looked outside attentively, looking at the flying skirt of the beautiful girl from the tennis club in a white dress.Dong Muguang suddenly realized that he was now standing at a crossroads in his life.

If he really confesses, according to Shinji Ikari's style, he will definitely take responsibility.

Do you really want to be with him for the rest of your life?

To be honest, Dong Muguang has never thought about this.Although there was an accident, it was just the result of relieving psychological pressure. After it was over, they were still just ordinary classmates.

Shinji Ikari really didn't bother him as he said.But for some reason, Dong Muguang felt a little disappointed.

The bell for the end of get out of class had just rang, and Dong Muguang took a deep breath and stood up on his own initiative.When she turned around, she saw that Shinji Ikari's seat was already filled with people.

"Ikari-chan, please write this classmate record."

"Where are you going to play during the summer vacation, Shinji-kun? My home is in the mountains of Lake Ashi and there is a small island in the lake. Mom has always asked me to invite you to come and play."

"Ikari-kun must have more important work to do. Fighting against exaggerated monsters like the apostles... He's so powerful, he's like a hero."

"But there must be some leisure time. My island in the lake is in Third New Tokyo, so it won't affect work."

"Ah, it's still the same, boring." Asuka's sarcastic voice sounded next to her.

Dong Muguang was shocked, and suddenly turned around to see Asuka, who was sitting in front of him, holding a lunch box and sitting over, "It's almost summer vacation, and it's not the mating season. Look at this group of people. , I just want to stick to that idiot."

"But since the breakup after taking office, Ikari-chan hasn't dated a new girlfriend for half a month. It seems that she also wants to study hard." Dong Muguang said.

Speaking of this, Asuka laughed out loud, "Do you think this is the return of his prodigal son? This is just the result of my little trick. This time it is just a small punishment but a big warning to make him calm down. Don't always rely on yourself. As a driver, he acts recklessly and looks down on the efforts of others.”

"That's it." Dong Muguang didn't ask further questions, just smiled and nodded.As a good best friend, she knows Asuka's character well.If she wanted to say something, she would naturally say it in a showy tone at this time.And if you don't want to say anything, asking questions will only make you anxious.

"Your tempura seems to be delicious. Give me a piece. And this thick egg roll seems to be good too... Is there anything you want to eat? Today's chicken breast rolls are on sale. It's still pretty good." Asuka enthusiastically wanted to exchange lunches, but Hikaru Toki just smiled and shook his head, "No, my appetite isn't very good today, so I'll just have to work harder on you."

"What? It's obvious that I'm taking advantage but you say it's because of your hard work. I really don't understand you. Forget it, I'll take these two things away and return them to you when you have an appetite that day."

Dong Muguang smiled, and then instinctively touched his belly again.

It wasn't until school was over in the afternoon that Dong Muguang finally found an opportunity to talk, but just when she got up again, she was about to step forward and confess the matter.Out of the corner of his eye, he saw a flash of white skirt, and Dong Muguang smelled the light fragrance of the girl.

It was Ayanami Rei. She didn't know what the two people were talking about at the door.I only saw Ikari Shinji nodded slightly to Ayanami Rei, then turned and walked towards the door.

There was no other way, Dong Muguang's state of mind was unexpectedly calm.

Then you can only go by yourself.

--------

--------

It rains lightly and is misty.

Third New Tokyo City Public Cemetery, Shinji Ikari looked at the familiar tombstones, and he did not expect to revisit his old place.

[This is what the Lord, who judges righteously, will give me on that day. 】

[Not only was it given to me, but also to all who love His appearing. 】

【----Toji Suzuhara-----】

Shinji Ikari watched Rei Ayanami, who was wearing school uniform, place a handful of snow-white jasmine flowers in front of the tombstone.

Speaking of my first impression of her, she was still the little girl who only knew how to sit in that dark dormitory, covered in pain.Rei Ayanami is like a ghost walking through Tokyo. Although she is also in this city, the colorful city of Tokyo has nothing to do with her.

Every time I think of Ayanami Rei who lived in the damp and dark place, I feel a little distressed.She seems to only appear in three places: Hakone, school, and dormitories, like an earthbound spirit bound here.She rarely left that room when she was not on a mission. Her room was full of garbage and littered clothes. There was only one window in the room that was covered by curtains. So when he first saw Ayanami Rei, Shinji Ikari felt that she They are wild flowers and weeds that may be trampled to death by passers-by at any time.

Now she knows a lot of things, including some basic common sense of life.At least she knew to bring a bouquet of flowers when she came to pay homage to her classmates, even though she only brought her favorite jasmine flowers.

However, Shinji Ikari still didn't know why Ayanami Rei suddenly wanted to come to worship. Shinji Ikari remembered that Ayanami Rei and Suzuhara Toji didn't seem to have any intersection.

"Maybe I should have brought a flower pot. It would be too pitiful to pull out the flowers." Ayanami Rei said, "Jasmine is very fragrant and beautiful when it blooms. If I hope to plant it next to me when I die, When they bloom next year, the whole cemetery will be filled with fragrance.”

Shinji Ikari raised his eyebrows and stood next to Ayanami Rei, "There's no need to go to such trouble. There's no need to plant new ones. Jasmine itself is a plant that can be cut. You can live a lot if you insert it into the soil now."

"That's good." Ayanami Rei knelt down and stroked the flowers.

Shinji Ikari stood behind her, "Although the flowers fall, they are still beautiful. If the buds are always there, they will never wither." He patted her head and said, "Are you worried that you will die?"

"No, I'm just a little sorry." Ayanami Rei said softly.Shinji Ikari stroked Ayanami Rei's head, because he knew that Ayanami Rei would not lie and could not deceive himself.

She is not afraid of death because she knows that death is not the end for her.Another self will appear.But since she doesn't have her own memory, can she still be by Shinji Ikari's side?

But if it was Shinji, he would also save her.

"Well, I'll go back first." Ayanami Rei said, and Shinji Ikari nodded slightly to her.

Ayanami Rei walked past the girl, and Shinji Ikari lowered his eyes and looked at the little girl in front of him.Black leather boots, white taffeta socks, Audrey Hepburn-style little black dress and exquisite beret, she looks like a little princess jumping out of a fairy tale book.

At this time, the girl was holding a bouquet of snow-white lilies in her hand. She seemed more like she was here to pay homage to Ayanami Rei.

"Are you here to see your brother too, Mr. Shinji?"

Suzuhara Sakura looked at Shinji Ikari standing in front of her under the misty rain with her hands in her pockets, and she felt quite like Yuan Ting Yue Zhi.There was a trace of surprise in her eyes. Could it be that the other person was really her brother's friend during his lifetime, otherwise she wouldn't remember him so clearly.

"I miss him a little bit." Shinji Ikari looked at the rainy lead-gray sky melancholy, but in his heart he was thinking crazily about what day it was.

It wasn't until he saw the flowers and wooden plate in Suzuhara Sakura's hand that he suddenly realized it.The fire-welcoming activity in front of the elf stream.

The Japanese have a unique view of life and death. They respect death after rebirth. The Japanese treat life with a loving and cherished attitude.Japanese people often compare cherry blossoms to human life. At the same time, Japanese people believe that the soul is immortal.It is generally believed that the human abilities of life and death cannot cross the completely opposite boundaries in any case, and become two interconnected stages in a process of change: life is the beginning of death, and death is the continuation of life.

Today Japan has the highest cremation rate in the world.Japan started the custom of cremation very early.This country has a unique belief in fire.

In areas such as Tokyo, a traditional event called "Elf-ryu" is held every July and August.Floating flowers and offerings in the ocean to send away souls is also a way of spreading fire.

Today should be the process of welcoming the fire, burning the peeled hemp stalks, and offering melons and fruits as extradition to the elf horses.After a while, the fire will be spread. At that time, you will go to the tombstone to take out the soil or the ashes of the vegetation after the burning. Just like the first day of welcoming the fire, you will light the fire on the hemp pole and ride on the smoke to return to other worlds safely. .

Suzuhara Sakura was happy to see Shinji Ikari appear here, because she really began to believe that Shinji Ikari and her brother were good friends.Even if you think about it rationally, this is almost impossible.

"Why does the inscription not mention the pilot of Unit [-]? This is also an honor. If you are worried that it will affect your life, don't worry. Suzuhara Toji has obtained the status of a hero, and the rampage of Unit [-] is not his responsibility. ."

"That's not the case. Because my brother, it seems possible, doesn't really want to drive EVA. He said that he is not as brave as he thought. If he had a choice, he hoped to transfer this right to his friend Aida Kensuke. "Sakura Suzuhara said.

"That's it." Shinji Ikari stayed by her side and burned the hemp stalks together.White smoke curled up, completing the process of igniting the fire.

"So my brother still admired you when he was alive." Suzuhara Sakura said softly, laughing involuntarily.Shinji Ikari stretched out his hand and touched Suzuhara Sakura's head. Suzuhara Sakura probably didn't understand what Shinji Ikari was talking about, but she still let him touch her head meekly.

"Speaking of which, is there any gift you want?" Shinji Ikari touched Suzuhara Sakura's head.

;Gift?Suzuhara Sakura was in a daze.The gifts that Shinji Ikari mentioned could be big or small.It ranges from an ordinary remote control aircraft to a Black Hawk helicopter flying across the sky.

She believed in Shinji Ikari's ability, and even at the initial funeral, she, as the younger sister of Toji Suzuhara, was supposed to be the funeral director, but because of her caution, she let Shinji Ikari be the funeral director.

Part of it is like what Shinji Ikari said, if he were to be the mourner, the people displaced by the three battles caused by Unit [-]'s rampage would not be angry with the little girl.Part of the reason is that Suzuhara Sakura wants to get in touch with the Ikari Shinji her brother talks about.

What kind of person is it that makes my brother miss him so much?

Regarding the gift from Shinji Ikari, she thought about it for a long time and shook her head: "I don't want anything."

Shinji Ikari nodded and stood up.Just as he was about to leave, someone grabbed his sleeves from behind. Shinji Ikari lowered his eyes and saw Sakura Suzuhara staring at him with bright eyes.

"If it's a gift, can we come together for the next fire passing ceremony?" Suzuhara Sakura's eyes flashed.

"Of course, I'm honored." Shinji Ikari smiled and rubbed Suzuhara Sakura's little head.However, she was already wearing a beret, but she was just rubbing the beret.

But suddenly, his movements stopped.This beret did not match her clothes, but it was this beret that reminded Shinji Ikari.

When he traveled through the Dirac Sea of ​​the Night Apostle and came to another parallel world, he seemed to see a girl who looked very similar to her, standing on the Ship of Hope.His eyes glanced over, but he was sure it was her.

Shinji Ikari stared at the childish face of the girl in front of him again.In terms of appearance.Sakura Suzuhara over there must be at least ten years older.

In other words, the parallel world over there, on the timeline, may be many years after your own.And what happened there will probably happen again here.

[-]: Dong Muguang’s personal opinion

The specious world, many years later, has changed.

From this, Shinji Ikari can determine that among the four directions at the intersection, the one directly ahead represents a new world that is very similar to his own world.So where do the other three directions lead?

However, Shinji Ikari's memories made Suzuhara Sakura slightly misunderstood.She took the initiative to take off her beret, then took Shinji Ikari's right hand and placed it on her head again.

Gently stroking the soft hair and looking at the well-behaved girl, Shinji Ikari couldn't help but squat down and pinch her cheek.

"You're so good. Toji is lucky to have such a lovely sister like you." Shinji Ikari smiled and took Suzuhara Sakura's hand and walked out of the cemetery.

While watching Suzuhara Sakura leave, Shinji Ikari stood quietly at the door of the cemetery, "It's very cute, isn't it? But today is indeed a very heavy and difficult day for her. She can still smile, she still has a smile in her heart. very powerful."

To be honest, in the few times they met, this Suzuhara Sakura gave him a very good sensory impression.

"Sakura is a strong child, but sometimes her twisted nature is revealed. Shinji-kun, please be careful."

"Huh? You seem to know her very well." Shinji Ikari glanced sideways at the quiet Hikaru Toki next to him.

She slightly lifted her wind-blown hair, tilted her head and met Shinji Ikari's eyes gently, "It's just a feeling, a feeling. But women's feelings are always very accurate, even girls are no exception. "

Shinji Ikari noticed the gypsophila in Hikaru Toki's hand, and he also came to pay homage to Suzuhara Toji.Speaking of Suzuhara Toji, a famous gangster in the school, during his lifetime, except for his good friend Kensuke Aida and the monitor Hikaru Toki, everyone stayed away from him intentionally or unintentionally, especially the girls.In several swimming lessons at school, the girls teased Suzuhara Toji for his dirty eyes, but in fact, Suzuhara just sat on the lawn at the edge of the sports field and watched Shinji Ikari race, and did not look towards the second place where the girls were. The balcony on the first floor looks out over the swimming pool.

But after his death, many people remembered him.After thinking about it carefully, Shinji felt that Suzuhara Toji was a person with great deviations in behavior and heart.
