Shinji Ikari returns from Warhammer

"All four targets were crushed in an instant. I didn't even see the trajectory of the attack clearly." Kitakami Midori bit his lip unwillingly, "When the time comes, I must watch the slow replay of the battle."

"It's really hard. I almost thought I was doomed." The muscular man wiped his cold sweat in fear, but in an instant he smiled at Shinji Ikari, "But this third boy, compared to What Kaji said is even more interesting."

"This is Unit [-], Shinji Ikari who has returned from the Negative Universe. With his power and character, could it be that he has been upgraded from ANIMA to an apostle?" Ritsuko Akagi frowned slightly, but immediately looked in the direction of Misato Katsuragi. , she believed that she knew the third boy better than herself.

Katsuragi Miuchi took off her dark red sunglasses expressionlessly, showing no joy or anger.Until a few seconds later, the corners of his mouth slightly raised.

She knew that Shinji Ikari said this to herself, but there was no need for her to explain it to others.She was still giving post-war orders to everyone in the command room with high spirits.

At this time, in the conference room with broken walls and glass, Makiha came to Shinji Ikari's side and asked, "After 14 years, do you and Misato still have such a tacit understanding?" Makiha was a little curious next to him. ask.

Only she and Ritsuko Akagi could see the tacit understanding between Misato Katsuragi and Shinji Ikari.There was obviously no conversation, but the battle plan was completed with clear understanding.

"Fourteen years, it's just a moment to me." Shinji Ikari said calmly.

"It's true, you just opened your eyes." Makiha didn't understand the meaning of Shinji Ikari's words, "But Misato-chan still believes in you, which surprises me. Her Royal Highness may not be the only one who has been worried about Wang-chan in the past 14 years. , to say the least, you are too indifferent to Her Highness the Princess, in fact..."

Shinji Ikari automatically blocks Makiha's words. She is too verbose. Sometimes I really don't know what her true identity is hidden in her heart.A girl with an aunt's heart, or an aunt with a girl's heart?

Shinji Ikari didn't care about this, but quietly checked for information about the future through the temporarily granted secondary authority (MAGI).

Three 10 minutes later—

The wreckage of the four artificial apostles has been salvaged, and the four most important broken energy cores have been recovered.At this point, Misato Katsuragi declared that the mission was over.Although our damage was very serious, judging from the results of the Ship of Hope's first active attack, it was considered impeccable.

Members of the combat department withdrew from the scene and handed over the post-processing work to the logistics force. The main personnel evacuated from the bridge of the combat ship and formed a team in front of the deck.In terms of work flow, the combat state will not end until all personnel have exited the battle bridge.

And the character that cannot be avoided is the third boy, Shinji Ikari.

The question of his placement, and the power he holds.Should he be readmitted, or should he still be regarded as an uncontrollable factor that may destroy the world?

"Of course we have to accept him. After all, he is just an innocent child, but his placement is a big deal." The African-American woman with braided braids applied colorful eyeliner in the mirror, "But we said no. After all, it still depends on the boss’s arrangements.”

Everyone's attention turned back to Misato Katsuragi at the top. Whether it was Shinji Ikari's former commander and guardian, or now the captain of WILLE, it was she who ultimately made the decision.

Misato Katsuragi had already decided in her heart.

At this time, they finally saw Ikari Shinji's figure again, which was the picture displayed on the screen in front of them.

A young man standing leisurely in front of the window of a broken conference room.Behind him, the purple Unit-[-] stood quietly behind him. Although it was in a still state, its face looked like a god who might be resurrected at any time.

"Thank you for your hard work, Shinji-kun." Misato Katsuragi suddenly appeared in the projection.Or rather, a picture of all the people on the battle bridge.

The past and the future are looking at each other across the screen at this moment.

At this time, Misato Katsuragi actually took off her iconic dark red sunglasses, and her cold bare makeup made Shinji Ikari miss Misato in her hometown.

"The next arrangements for you are still very troublesome, because your identity is too special. Most people don't want to see you pilot Unit [-] again, but your performance just now is obvious to all, so..."

"Stop it, I hate self-righteous idiots." Shinji Ikari's voice was clearly transmitted inside the battle bridge, "Misato-san, you are the same as an idiot in my heart now."

Katsuragi Misato's eyes widened. Not only her, but everyone had a similar expression.

An extremely ominous premonition arose in Misato Katsuragi's heart. The reason was that even though Shinji Ikari in front of her said this, he still did not hide the sarcasm on his lips.

It was completely different from the bad words he used to say out of anger and shirk of responsibility. He just expressed his inner thoughts.Then, her uneasiness almost hit her completely in the next moment, and Shinji Ikari composed his words calmly.

"Don't treat me as one of you just after joining forces for a short time. Comrades are not cheap things like this." The corner of Shinji Ikari's mouth once again raised his usual coldness, "Including me and my Unit-[-] without authorization Your battle plan should have caused you trouble in the first place. But for Misato's sake, I will temporarily allow you to overstep this time."

"But now you..."

"There is no but, I need to see for myself what this world is like, and I cannot just listen to one side's words. What's more, as a first impression, the feeling you gave me is not a good one." Shinji Ikari He said calmly, "In the final analysis, it is just an internal struggle between human beings. Don't talk nonsense. No one can be considered a righteous party until the dust settles."

Perhaps these words were sarcastic, but they were indeed very powerful words, and Katsuragi Misato's uneasiness was completely hit.

But at the same time, another kind of emotion arose in Misato Katsuragi's heart, which was joy.Looking at Shinji Ikari who has the ability to think independently, I feel a sense of accomplishment that "I have a daughter in my family who has grown up."

"Next, I will go to NERV to have a look. There is a guy there who I find interesting." Shinji Ikari turned around and walked closer to the shadows, and the color on his body seemed to be gradually fading away.

But he seemed to have thought of something again. He walked back to the screen with an unhappy face and pointed at the camera, "Also, stop being the Riddler. If you keep hiding it and not saying anything, I will kill you." All the heads of those scumbag assholes will be smashed!"

A few minutes later, a loud sound that ripped through the air was heard in the Indian Ocean. Unit [-] and Unit [-], which were originally preparing to launch a surprise attack on WILLE, suddenly returned because the target of their operation suddenly disappeared.

The black-red aircraft looked up at the Fleet of Hope that had taken off again and soared over the Indian Ocean. Nagisa Kaoru turned to look to the west: "Farewell Shinji-kun, I look forward to meeting you again."

Third New Tokyo City, Hakone.

"Can Hakone still be called Hakone now?" Aoba Shigeru sat in the helicopter and looked at the huge ravine torn apart by the force disciples.From the ground to the underground world, "one-third of the headquarters facilities were damaged, and the central dogma area was exposed. This was something we never dared to think about before."

"The entire Third Tokyo City was also severely affected. Think about how to explain it to the people." Sitting next to him, Kenzaki Kyouya also recorded the damage, "But it's great to be able to survive."

At this time, inside Hakone, inspections are still going on.

"The underground world is now destroyed."

Riding the only elevator shaft that could still be used, Ritsuko Akagi led the development department officials to the underground world. "But fortunately, with the existence of the Third Boy, we may not have to face the day when it is activated."

The underground world covering an area of ​​[-] square kilometers is devastated, with patches of precious forest trees falling down, and the trees that are still standing upright are still burning.The mountains and rivers were even worse, they were completely destroyed.Hundreds of meters long black ravines crisscrossed the ground, deep into the mud. Every trace carried the afterglow of the apostle, as if it had been plowed by a giant burning plow.

The underground world was originally a human ark to prevent the destruction of the world. It preserves the ecological environment on the earth, and the seeds of animals and plants from all over the world are still preserved in No. 17 next door.

"The damage to EVA Unit [-], as well as the invisible loss caused by activating beast mode, have exceeded the limit of cell division. It will take a long time to fully recover."

"Fortunately, MAGI can still be transplanted, and we can start transplanting tomorrow." Maya Ibuki said.

"But we can't transplant here." Ritsuko Akagi sighed, eyes full of reluctance.Hakone is not only the hard work of her mother's five people. As the older of the second generation, Ritsuko Akagi also participated in the production of Hakone, the underground supermarket dedicated to the Apostles.

"It is only a matter of time before it is ordered to be scrapped." Hitomi Kaga, the first class of technology development at the Technology Development Department of NERV Headquarters, said.

"There is no other way. We can only activate the backup second command post first." Ritsuko Akagi pressed her eyebrows.

"Do I have to use it even if I don't have MAGI? Isn't it too inconvenient?" Ibuki Maya nervously grabbed her sleeves. She couldn't imagine her life without MAGI.

"Inform the logistics department to clean it up. It will be used in the afternoon." Ritsuko Akagi said.

"The chair is small and the sensor is slow. It's very uncomfortable to work there." Ibuki Maya was still a little reluctant.

It is rumored that the technological level of the underground world of Hakone is at least 20 years ahead of normal civilian technology, but only those who have worked here truly know that the deviation is more than 20 years.

We will soon be moved to that antique-style second command post, and no one can stand it.

"It's good to have useful ones, don't complain." Ritsuko Akagi said, "The evolution of the apostles is getting more and more perfect. I can't believe how exaggerated the next three apostles will be."

"But we still have a third boy." Ibuki Maya hugged the tablet and followed Ritsuko Akagi closely like a little tail.

"But Shinji Ikari is not a god, and as humans, we are still too weak." Ritsuko Akagi said.

The universe is based on the concept of time.Originally, time had no past and no future.It is humans who rely on this axis. As long as time itself is stacked, there will be no problem even if the time is disrupted.It's just that in imaginary space, time does not stack.

Even though he said this, Shinji Ikari didn't understand it at all.He just knew that after he went to the parallel world for three hours, he returned to his home world in just a blink of an eye.

Just presented in a naked state.

Shinji Ikari didn't feel any shyness. He simply changed into his regular clothes and returned to the dormitory.He also got the news that he was about to move to the dormitory, and to be honest, he was equally reluctant to give up.

But there is no way. The headquarters facilities are seriously damaged, but even so, they can still be used if needed.The real problem is that the defense system is now paralyzed, and the 21st defense layer has been completely penetrated. As a fortress city against the apostles, the word fortress can no longer be used.

There was no movement when she returned to the dormitory. Misato Katsuragi was still directing the rescue work. Like Ritsuko Akagi, she had too much reluctance to leave Hakone. Even if she had to leave, she still wanted to work harder to rescue him.Although it can no longer be used as a command post, it is still absolutely qualified as a logistics base.And Ayanami Rei seems to have something else to do, so she will postpone it for the time being.

Of course, Shinji Ikari knew that Asuka was there, but because the unknown fifth-qualified person piloted Unit [-] to attack the apostle, and even used a special mode that she could not activate, this once again put her into an unpleasant situation. In emotions.

After Shinji Ikari rarely went to the kitchen and shouted several times to no avail, he simply washed up and returned to the room, closing his eyes.

Half an hour later, he heard a rustling sound, as if someone was approaching his room, or even approaching him.

[-]: The shape of the heart, self-awareness

At this time, there is only Asuka, and only Asuka, otherwise, how could she still be the Powerpuff Girl?

Even with his eyes closed, Shinji Ikari could feel Asuka gently opening the sliding door and standing next to his bed. He could even clearly feel her eyes scanning his body.

Just when Shinji Ikari was thinking about whether he should pretend to be asleep, or open his eyes and say in surprise, "Why are you here?" or grab her with a lewd smile on his face, "Little beauty, this will be you." I delivered it to my door myself, don’t blame my brother for being cruel, Jie Jie Jie!”

"Get up if you're not asleep." Asuka kicked Shinji Ikari who was lying on the quilt and said impatiently.

"Not yet, I'm just thinking about something." Now there was no need to think about which way to expand. Shinji Ikari sat up from the bed, "How do you know I'm not asleep yet?"

"I thought you were asleep, but I couldn't sleep, so I just wanted you to stay with me... I couldn't sleep either!" Asuka crossed her arms and looked impatient.

Shinji Ikari could sense the twitchiness in Asuka's heart, but he didn't expose her, "It's okay, I was a little excited when I came back. I'll fall asleep after a while, it's okay."

Asuka hummed and said nothing.She was just upset at night and wanted to harass Shinji Ikari, but she had no idea what to do specifically.

"Have you brought a controller? I bought two new cassettes. Since I can't sleep... why not play games?" After a long silence, Shinji Ikari suggested.

"...That's fine." Asuka agreed without any hesitation.

Shinji Ikari put on his pajamas, and the two of them sat side by side in the room, opening New Super Mario Bros. U like a show off, and the same scent of shower gel wafted from the side.

Later, Asuka recalled that night when the air conditioner was turned on to the lowest, and felt that they did not do anything meaningful. Misato Katsuragi was too busy in Hakone, Ayanami Rei did not come back, and the cat girl with glasses did not come, and the two of them were side by side. Sitting together playing the deluxe versions of "New Super Mario" and "Street Fighter".

He sat cross-legged next to him and struck out ruthlessly, showing no mercy at all. He dragged his teammates to death with a stuck angle.Sometimes they discussed games and sometimes they sang songs, ranging from pop music to silly jokes. Sometimes Shinji Ikari explained to Asuka the division of Hakone's 23 wards, but she turned her head away uninterested, mocking that she was going to be reduced to logistics anyway. Base stuff has no value.

Asuka thought back and realized that sometimes her unintentional words might actually become a prophecy in the future.

She tilted her head as if she was aware of it. At this time, Shinji Ikari was fully focused on the screen, and his body exuded a shower gel scent similar to her own.Naturally, she rested her head on Shinji Ikari's shoulder.

Then the handle slipped from my hand.

Shinji Ikari turned his head and looked at the girl leaning on his shoulder, supporting her downward-sliding head with his hands. Only then did she realize that the guy who didn't want her to sleep had fallen asleep first.

He adjusted her bangs, and the light on the screen shone on her face, making Shinji couldn't help but kiss her beautiful lips.

But at this moment, Asuka suddenly opened her eyes.What emerged from her eyes was displeasure, anxiety, confusion, and ─ irritation.

"Sure enough, I am still different from that top student. She is just different. She is unique, right?" Asuka stared straight into Shinji Ikari's eyes.

what happened again?Why did it suddenly involve Ayanami Rei?Shinji Ikari was stunned.He has talked to a lot of girls, but he has never seen a girl who was as startled as Asuka.But his instinct made him gently stroke Asuka's hair, "But Asuka is also unique."

However, Asuka didn't agree with him at all.After breaking free from his arms, he turned around and left.

After Shinji carefully exited the game, he quickly went up and found that Asuka had returned to her room and the door was closed.

He looked helplessly at Misato Katsuragi, who was leaning in front of the refrigerator. She had just opened a can of cold beer in her hand. He didn't know when she came back or how long she had been looking at her.

"People always don't care about what they own." Misato Katsuragi sighed softly, pretending to be deep, and then handed the empty beer bottle to Shinji Ikari, "You are also a fan of the authorities."

"How do you say that?" Shinji Ikari was confused.

"What else can I say?" Misato Katsuragi looked deeply at Shinji Ikari, "Obviously the conflict was caused by the wrong position of the bride."

As for Asuka, what she wants is the kind of family-like care that Shinji Ikari treats Ayanami Rei, rather than the lust that arises simply because of her own body.For Rei Ayanami, she wanted a simple, pure, materialistic kiss from Shinji Ikari to Asuka.

Misato Katsuragi had been busy all day and was too lazy to explain to Shinji Ikari. She believed that Shinji Ikari would be able to figure it out after he sobered up.She went to bed first.

Currently curled up in bed, Asuka looked at the scenery outside the window and made up her mind to leave the annoying Misato, the annoying First Girl, and the annoying idiot Shinji when they moved to the new dormitory.

Asuka is Asuka and doesn't need to rely on anyone.She clutched the suture-strewn doll tightly, determined once again.

Until she heard a rustling sound coming from behind, and someone approached her room.No need to think about it, it must be Shinji Ikari chasing him.

Even with her eyes closed, Asuka could feel Shinji Ikari gently opening the sliding door and standing beside her bed. She could even clearly feel his eyes scanning her body.

But Asuka didn't think like Shinji Ikari did before, so she decided not to pay attention to him.These few times made her realize clearly that Shinji Ikari was the source of her pain, and she finally made up her mind.

But he didn't call out, but just lay beside her and fell asleep.Asuka was a little angry, turned around and couldn't help but kicked him, "If you want to sleep, go back to your room, it stinks." When Asuka complained like this, the boy opposite opened his eyes suddenly.

The moment their eyes met, she was speechless.Seeing this, Shinji Ikari gently pulled her into his arms and kissed her forehead.

Sometimes coaxing a girl is as easy as coaxing a sow. Either you give her a hammer to calm her down, or you just hold her down, or you give her warmth.Of course this is a multiple choice question.

Asuka squirmed in Shinji Ikari's arms for a few times, and finally lay down in Shinji Ikari's arms and stopped moving as if resigned to her fate.Shinji Ikari knew Asuka's tsundere-like mood. Sometimes her resistance was not resistance, but just a move she made to hide her true thoughts.

He resisted the urge to move his hands wildly, but he still fell asleep first.

After waiting for a long time, Asuka heard the slight snoring of the boy next to her. She approached Shinji Ikari expressionlessly and wanted to pinch his nose to wake him up again, but in the end she gave up the plan.

She thought about it, but finally chose to sit in front of Shinji Ikari and slowly take off her dress.Biting his lip, he showed a victorious expression.

----------

----------

Under the blue sea surface is a pure ocean without any form.

There are no living creatures, only floating blue and white combat uniforms, slowly drifting in the water with the waves in the form of losing their owners.

"Where is this?" Shinji Ikari asked as he watched this scene.

"This is the ocean, my combat uniform, and Li's combat uniform. It's obviously my world, but I've never seen it before. It seems like a foreign feeling?"
