I don’t know how many times fireworks exploded in the night sky, and Dong Muguang also fell asleep in the festival celebration. Until she was half asleep and half awake, she vaguely heard the rustling sound. When she opened her eyes, When he opened his eyes, he saw a slender and childish figure.

It was Suzuhara Sakura. She came in from the door wearing a white bathrobe, and the lights in the room were still on.

"Ah, Sister Hikaru? Are you asleep?" Suzuhara Sakura tilted her head and looked at herself, "Did I disturb your rest?"

This familiar sense of déjà vu made Dong Muguang feel as if he was still in a dream, unable to distinguish between illusion and reality.

"But you forgot to turn off the light. I've already taken a shower over there. I'll turn off the light now. Can we sleep together?" Suzuhara Sakura said. As she spoke, she untied her bathrobe and closed it. The light moved closer to him and turned into the bed.

Dong Muguang nodded drowsily, she always felt like she had forgotten something.But nothing seems to matter. She just wants to sleep now. She is really too tired now.

In her sleep, she dreamed that she was a dragon warrior holding a sword, and was challenging the dark lord Nicholas Shinji who lived in the Upside Down Mountain. He had an invincible spear, and she had to charge up before the energy tank of his ultimate move was full. Eliminate him.But the idea was simple, but the execution was difficult. The blood volume of the big demon king in front of him was completely bottomed out. It was not until his new friend, the magician Sakura Suzuhara, joined the battle that the situation was slightly reversed.

"What a messy story." Dong Muguang sighed and opened his eyes.

It was still that hotel room. The warm morning light shined on his face through the white gauze curtains. Dong Muguang felt sore all over, but he did experience a tragic battle last night.

[-]: Flying to the Starry Sky, Asuka and Rei Ayanami

She felt hair getting into her nose, itching and making her want to sneeze.

Vaguely, it seemed that the skin-to-skin contact had a rather unfamiliar touch.Dong Muguang couldn't help but hugged the quilt tightly and covered his face. The fragrance of soft essence immediately hit his nostrils, that was——

...the smell of lavender.

Although it was just a very ordinary physical contact, Dong Muguang was extremely well prepared due to his body instinct, but——

"...Uh huh huh, I want to eat, cream cake...!"

A childish voice sounded in the quilt, and Dong Muguang suddenly opened her eyes. She felt the same as usual, but her burden seemed different.

Gently pulling open the white silk quilt, you can see Suzuhara Sakura's face and right shoulder exposed from the quilt.

His gaze went down from her scattered brown hair, all the way to her hazy sleeping face full of peace and comfort, her slender neck and delicate skin on her shoulders - her whole body was curled up in Shinji Ikari's arms.

The actions of rubbing her body just now and pressing her face to her chest were all done by her.

"What on earth happened last night?" Dong Muguang looked at the scene in front of him with dumbfounded eyes.

After the sound of Hikaru Toki getting up early, both Suzuhara Sakura and Ikari Shinji woke up faintly. The former may have just woken up, while the latter may not hate the current state, so he kept his current posture unchanged.

"Good morning, Hikaru-nee." Suzuhara Sakura opened her sleepy eyes.

"Good morning... I didn't mean good morning, why are you here." Dong Muguang asked with a red face.

"I asked you before going to bed yesterday if I could sleep together, and you agreed. I'm a little afraid of the dark. I can't sleep alone. I have to hold something or be held by something."

"But last night..."

"What did you do last night? What are you worried about, Sister Hikaru? There was nothing last night, or is it that Sister Hikaru is expecting something to happen?" When Suzuhara Sakura raised her wet eyes and begged, Domu Hikaru couldn't help but Blushing and looking away.

Sakura Suzuhara stood up from the bed, her immature body without any clothes exposed in front of everyone.Dong Muguang's eyes couldn't help but move down, and looking at the messy sheets and quilts in front of her, she felt that what Suzuhara Sakura said was true.

But even so, the postures of Sakura Suzuhara and Shinji Ikari in the morning, as well as the current atmosphere, were too ambiguous.

Suzuhara Sakura puffed up her face, "Don't you believe it, Hikaru-nee? I'm still a virgin. If you don't believe it, I'll show it to you..."

"No, no, no, no, no, I believe, I believe, I believe, stop it!"

Hikaru Toki quickly wrapped the silk quilt around Suzuhara Sakura's body, especially covering her separated thighs. At this time, she pressed her eyebrows helplessly.And when Hikaru Toki didn't notice, Suzuhara Sakura blinked at Shinji Ikari, "Forget it, I won't bother you, I'm going to take a shower." Then she spread out her bath towel, jumped up from the bed, and casually put on the hotel slippers. Then he walked towards the bathroom next to him.

As Shinji Ikari's eyes moved towards him, Hikaru Tomu wrapped himself tightly in the quilt shyly, "It's all your fault."

"It's just a kid, it doesn't matter." Shinji Ikari came to Hikaru Domu and put his arm around her shoulders.

"Are you really a child? If you look down on today's children, you will only suffer."

Shinji Ikari blinked at Dong Muguang, "Would you like to take a shower?"

"What, ah!" Before Dong Muguang could react, her exclamation came from the room, and Shinji Ikari picked her up by the waist like a princess, and then strode toward the bathroom.

----------

Location at latitude 0 in the Pacific Ocean; a maritime launch platform belonging to NERV.

The cruise ship sailed towards the light at the end of the sea with a white water mark. The lights there were transparent as if a palace were floating in the sea, and the operating offshore launch platform made a huge roar.

Asuka looked up through the observation window at the top. The last light was in the center of her field of vision, surrounded by blue-black seawater. A glimmer of light seemed to be projected from an upside-down well in the sky. This offshore platform Asuka shuddered at the moment when she was completely submerged in darkness, like she was sinking into a well.

"If I were a bright moon, I would definitely survive the dark moon that was as dark as black jade." Vaguely, as if from a very far away place, the voice of a girl singing came from.

Asuka didn't know where the sound came from. It seemed to be in her ears, but it also seemed to come from outside the world.

Soon, the clear voice belonging to Misato Katsuragi brought her back to reality.

"It is now August 2015, 08. According to the calendar, it has just passed the beginning of autumn. We are on the sea launch platform. The sea is quiet and the equipment is normal. Tonight we will implement the 'US Plan'. I am the commander of this plan, Misato Katsuragi. "Misato Katsuragi was wearing a military uniform, scanning everyone with sharp eyes, "This time, it will be a key node for us humans to fight against the apostles."

Asuka clenched her fists and everyone nodded.

"Although you have all seen the information in the document, only now will you know all the details. Listen carefully, and remember that the cooperation between you can ensure success." Misato Katsuragi was wearing combat uniforms in the observation cabin. The warriors stood with their hands behind their backs and looked solemn. "It is completely different from the last battle against the Sky Angel or the Grave Angel. The stage of this battle will be in space 35800 kilometers above the ground."

"This time's target is by no means inferior to the Sky Angel and the Graupel Angel. The length of its wingspan even exceeds the specifications of the Sky Angel. Most human weapons are not enough to hurt him, so ordinary weapons are not effective against him. Invalid. So you will wear the most special G-type equipment." Misato Katsuragi opened the big screen and an electronic drawing was unfolded on the screen. "G-type is the most special equipment. It has a set of ballistics attached to the right shoulder. The computing system is used to correct various errors during the sniping process. Because it is in space, MAI cannot provide support, so it needs to be equipped with a full set of auxiliary ballistic computers."

Even though he said this, both Shinji Ikari and Rei Ayanami were strangers.Because when fighting against the Thunder Apostle, this extremely rare set of G-type equipment was taken out once.

Therefore, the real target of Misato Katsuragi's explanation is Asuka, although it is not necessary, because they have already decided on Rei Ayanami as the number two auxiliary combat candidate.As for this matter, everyone could vaguely guess it.

"Because it is a space operation, the error tolerance rate of this plan is extremely low, and there may even be only one chance of success. We still don't know the specific capabilities of the target apostle. The Soviet Union used N2 aerial bombs to bomb the surface of the apostle to attract his attention. Until then The time is your chance to take the stage." Misato Katsuragi said, "We are now announcing the roster for this space operation. Commander Misato Katsuragi, and deputy commander Ritsuko Akagi, are responsible for engines and fuel supply. Candidate for space operations, No. [-], General Shinji Ikari Pilot No. [-] as the vanguard for frontal combat, No. [-], Rei Ayanami, pilots No. [-] as the cover, and No. [-], Asuka serves as a reserve..."

Asuka clenched her fists, her nails almost digging into the flesh of her palms. She could no longer hear clearly what Misato Katsuragi said next.

Although no one spoke, she could vaguely guess that she would lose the election.The so-called No. [-] candidate is just nice to hear and soothes my emotions.

Why are you piloting the No. [-] machine to fight against the enemy? Just based on your recent record of losing your temper?No kidding, Asuka!Even if the puppet system drives Unit [-] to the sky together with Unit [-], it won't be your turn!

"Report, I have a problem." Ayanami Rei raised her hand, "I cannot carry out this battle plan."

The entire scene suddenly fell silent. Misato Katsuragi frowned and stared sharply at Rei Ayanami, who had a calm face. "What's your problem? The first qualified person."

"I am not feeling well and cannot complete this battle plan." Ayanami Rei said.

Have a physical problem?Misato Katsuragi looked suspicious, you and Shinji Ikari and the others shared a tub of ice cream this morning, why is there a problem?

But since Ayanami Reito said so, Katsuragi Misato is not Ikari Gendo, so it is impossible to force qualified people to pilot EVA in combat.Then he looked at Asuka, whose face was full of astonishment. "Since the first qualified person is unwell, the second qualified person, Asuka, will take his place and provide auxiliary cover work. I will send you the specific mission details next, please remember …”

Asuka couldn't hear clearly what Misato Katsuragi said, and her heart was completely hit by this sudden surprise.She looked straight at the ethereal Ayanami Rei, standing straight on the spot, as if all this had nothing to do with her.

If it were her before, according to her personality, she might have refused arrogantly, and she would have refused.But now, Asuka took a deep breath and nodded towards Misato Katsuragi.

"Promise to complete the mission." Asuka looked solemn. This was the first time Misato Katsuragi had seen Asuka showing such an expression.

Misato Katsuragi scanned the faces of several qualified candidates, including Rei Ayanami, who had an ethereal temperament, Asuka, who had a solemn expression, and Shinji Ikari, who was in a state of confusion. "Okay, that's it, disbanded."

Ayanami Rei nodded, then turned and walked towards the MIGHTYQ bridge deck.When he was about to reach the stairs, he saw a red figure quickly passing behind him, "...Thank you, thank you." Asuka lowered the brim of her hat and walked quickly past Rei Ayanami.

Ayanami Rei tilted her head, then looked at the full moon in the distance.

On the MIGHTYQ bridge deck, Asuka punched the railing.

She took a deep breath and wondered why she couldn't even say a normal thank you. Asuka, you need to change your arrogant personality and be more frank!

Asuka sat on the ground and looked up at the stars. She was about to go up to the sky and continue to be the driver of EVA. Suddenly she felt that the world was so beautiful and the stars were so bright. She really wanted to breathe more fresh air here...

At this time, down below, the huge project is nearing completion.

"The predetermined position of the offshore launch platform has been fixed, and the wind speed is the wave height, so there is no problem."

"Restart after three 10-minute countdown. Propellant, filling is complete."

Engineers who were once part of NERV are now busy at work.At this time, in front of the deck of the bridge, the silver moonlight gently leaned on a black figure.

Shinji Ikari was gnawing on Mari, leaning on the railing with his arms, looking at the people working in the distance.A huge sense of familiarity came over me.

He had indeed seen a similar scene. In a parallel world, the WILLE organization led by Misato Katsuragi was preparing to go to space to retrieve Unit [-] launched into space by SEELE.But when their work was coming to an end, they arrived at the watchtower at the southern end of Itoman City, and their plans changed.

The huge silver moon emerged from the dark clouds again, and the mighty moonlight please write on this deck.

——At the same moment, engineers in the distance were busy carrying out final work.

"Three 10 minutes, the fuel refill will start to maintain 100%."

"There are no obstructions on the northern launch track and conditions are good."

Shinji Ikari turned his face sideways and saw Asuka poking her head out from the stairs below. Her eyes passed over her body, and after scanning the entire bridge deck, she handed the ice cream in her hand to Shinji Ikari.

"Here, eat." Asuka looked at herself, then handed another ice cream to Ayanami Rei, "And yours."

"……Ha ha!"

Shinji Ikari laughed out loud for a moment, in order to deliver ice cream to Ayanami Rei, but he had to wait until he was there.Then, with the attitude of giving ice cream to everyone, she delivered the ice cream to Ayanami Rei. This kind of arrogant behavior of going around in a big circle without bothering was something only Asuka could do.

Can't she just say thank you? Is it so difficult to say thank you?

"Eat yours, why are you laughing!" Asuka gave Shinji Ikari a vicious look, then opened the ice cream box first, took out the plastic spoon inside, and started eating it in big mouthfuls.

"Speaking of which, we can see the super moon tonight. This is also the second full moon of the year." Shinji Ikari said.

A huge sound traveled through the dark night sky. Asuka raised her head and saw a huge black shadow approaching at low altitude.A giant transport plane carrying EVA passed over the heads of the three people.

"It's so fast." Asuka murmured.

[The pilot who received the order please transfer to MK. After the transfer is completed, it will enter the final launch phase. 】

The female voice of MAGI's mechanical system came from the radio. Shinji Ikari waved his hand towards Ayanami Rei, "We're leaving first. Asuka will treat you to sukiyaki when we get back."

"Stop talking so much, let's go!" Asuka kicked Shinji Ikari's calf hard from behind.Finally, he waved his hand towards Ayanami Rei, turned around and jumped down the two-meter-high stairs.

At this time, in the maritime command room, the staff of the combat department were carrying out the final work in an orderly manner.

"The pilot of EVA Unit [-] has arrived and is heading to the control room."

"The temporary library and fixed system have been checked and everything is normal."

"The socket connection is completed, the power conversion is completed, and the internal voltage reaches the specified value."

Insertion pin is ready, core unit is calibrated and all is well. "

"Received, resume countdown." Misato Katsuragi nodded and announced the start of the battle.

[Countdown resumes, all people on the ground are evacuated. 】

[Countdown resumes, all people on the ground are evacuated. 】

[Countdown resumes, all people on the ground are evacuated. 】

On the bridge deck of the MIGHTYQ, a mechanical female voice sounded on the radio. Rei Ayanami pushed her hair behind her ears and quietly looked at the black shadow in the distance. The launch pad under the night sky was like a tower standing on the sea. Magnificent giant.

The bright fire light rose, and the strong air waves blew Ayanami's blue hair, and she watched intently as the two rows of figures flew towards the distant starry sky.

One Seventy-Nine: Fight against the Bird Angel Aral

"The tracking team reported the current positions of the two aircraft." Ritsuko Akagi asked.

"POD1 has reached the combat altitude and entered the predetermined orbit; POD2 had a problem when it was put into orbit and the altitude was not high enough." Shigeru Aoba answered.

"Received, switch to backup plan, POD1-[-] will conduct frontal combat first." Ritsuko Akagi said.

"Understood, POD2 will provide direct support and transfer to sub-plan No. [-]." Aoba Shigeru replied.

"Understood, the US operation will begin now." Hyuga Makoto replied.

"Understood, POD1 passes the critical point of the route and enters Area 88; POD1 starts and enters the final combat orbit." Maya Ibuki answered.

In the pitch-black space, two orange-red light spots, one behind the other, seemed to be the remnants of summer fireworks, approaching the target location at a speed that could be described as snail-slow from observation.

But in fact, their speed is not too slow. They are soaring upward at the first cosmic speed. They can be described as lightning-fast light on the ground.But if it is a space battlefield, it is a bit obscure and bleak.

But if it is only to this extent, it will still not be able to reach the target apostle, and the acceleration caused by the gravity of the planet will eventually cause it to fall.

But new light has emerged.

"The first stage is full engine ignition and combustion begins."

"The first stage propulsion device separated, confirmed the separation, and checked the electronic equipment system. Everything is normal."

"Roger, combustion set to automatic, second stage full engine ignition."
