Chapter 2011: Endless August (5)

【—2015.8.24—】
The third new Tokyo city, "Golden Voice" karaoke room.
"[Flowers, there will be a time to scatter~]"
"[Dream, there is no end to it~]"
"[In this case, the soul (tears)~
"[Where will it belong again~]"
Ikari Shinji held the microphone and stared at Rei Ayanami and Kirishima's true name in a stunned chorus.
This almost identical timbre and intonation, if you close your eyes, you can't tell who is who.
However, this kind of voice and tone did not belong to any of them. Specifically, Ayanami's voice was more emotional, while Kirishima's real name was a lot more indifferent, and they belonged to the product of mutual accommodation.
And if you just look at the current situation, it's hard to imagine that they are actually coercioners and coercion targets - well, it's actually the trouble caused by the "petty bourgeoisie".
This time, singing karaoke is part of the "School Trip Plan" formulated by Asuka.
Although the plan itself is a nonsense, the details of the plan are still very organized, and a good match is made according to large-scale events, small-scale events, indoor activities and outdoor activities - except that she did not know that the Obon Festival and the Mid-Autumn Festival coincide at first, The next day, he hurriedly made up for the moon viewing party with the excuse of "the fifteenth moon is sixteen rounds".
Today's plan is "activities that cannot be done at school or at home", namely karaoke and bowling games - after all, the assembly garden will not provide students with such facilities that are basically unused.
Oh, by the way, the song Ayanami and Kirishima sang is called "Garden of Gathering", shouldn't it be the school song?
"[Even if time seems to be eternity, it has passed~]"
"[We are still like mirrors in our hearts, and we will definitely call each other~]"
"[I believe deeply, bond~]"
"[I believe in something called "destiny"~]"
After the song was sung, Rei Ayanami simply put down the microphone, while Kirishima's true name waved and bowed with a very intoxicated look.
No way... Ikari Shinji can only give her face and applaud.
"Well, cough!"
Asuka stepped onto the stage, squeezed Kirishima's real name down, and cleared her throat with all her might.
Ikari Shinji is very eye-catching, and he didn't stop his hand. Looking at the face of this specific environment, I will applaud you...
"[Take me to the moon~]"
"[Let me play with the stars~]"
"[Let me see with my eyes~]"
"【Spring of Jupiter and Mars~】"
Uh-huh? This song doesn't match your style, it's soft and sweet, thanks to this genius driver who can handle it.
Ikari Shinji glanced at the screen, "FlyMeToTheMoon", okay, simple and straightforward.
But just when Ikari Shinji was about to continue to enjoy it, Asuka turned around and cut the song as if it was unbearable.
"[Interpreting the globe like a riddle~]"
"【We can go anywhere~】"
"【I pray for the heartbeat of expectation every day~】"
"[Who fulfilled this wish for me?]"
"..." Well, that's her style, Ikari Shinji digs out her ears that are a little uncomfortable because the voice suddenly becomes louder and louder.
"Sunny Day Good Mood"? This song is so fitting.
"Okay, it's your turn," Asuka finished singing, walked off the stage and handed the microphone to Shinji Ikari.
"No, I don't need it, I'm not very good at this." Ikari Shinji tried to decline.
"That's not good, it's a game after all," Asuka raised her eyebrows: "Or you can just abstain and admit defeat."
…etc?
So today's plan is not "karaoke" and "bowling match", but "karaoke and bowling match"?
admit defeat...
"Come on, come on, Shinji-san." Kirishima's true name, who didn't know the situation at all, clenched his fists and encouraged Ikari Shinji over there.
Ling Ayanami is of course very aware of what happened here, but for some unknown purpose, he also said, "I want to hear it."
It is impossible to admit defeat!
Ikari Shinji snapped Asuka's microphone.
A moment later, the bowling alley.
"Pfft hahaha-"
Asuka was holding the bowling ball in her hand, but she suddenly began to laugh at Shinji Ikari.
No, think of something obvious, okay?
"I said I'm not good at singing!" Ikari Shinji glared at her: "What's so strange about a boy who doesn't change his voice singing a girl's voice! What a laugh!"
"Hahaha...Oh no, I can't help it when I think about it." Asuka covered her face and continued to laugh.
"Really..." Ikari Shinji decided to ignore her and instead picked up a bowling ball and threw it towards the track.
Boom, gurgle, snap.
Killed three in total.
"Well, I think Shinji-san's song is very good." Kirishima's real name tried to comfort Ikari Shinji, and after saying this in a panic, he also threw the bowling ball.
Knock down two.
"Okay, okay, you are so stupid that I don't even have the heart to laugh," Asuka shook her head, raised her hand and threw the bowling ball out in a standard posture.
Ten, clear the field.
Hmm... It's a pity, if it was Ayanami, it should be able to do it too, but ten is already the limit.
Ikari Shinji subconsciously looked at Rei Ayanami while thinking about it, and then realized that...
She packed a bowling ball into her carry-on backpack.
...?
【—2015.8.31—】
Literary Society.
"I announce that this 'school trip' is a complete success~" Asuka said loudly after sorting all the vacation photos: "Everyone can cope with the new semester with plenty of energy!"
No wonder you're the only one with energy...
"If the information that Shinji-san is good at female vocals gets out, it must have nothing to do with me," she added.
It's weird to believe you.
But it doesn't matter, if Suzuhara Toji, Aida Kensuke, or anyone else laughs at this, they will directly push back with "I am an EVA driver".
After that, maybe they were really tired, Asuka and Kirishima Maname quickly said goodbye and left, leaving only Ikari Shinji and Ayanami Rei to clean up the club classroom—of course, it was mainly Ikari Shinji who did it.
"I said Ayanami," Ikari Shinji casually asked Ayanami Rei while cleaning up the messy club classroom, "When is the next apostle attack?"
"Now." Ayanami replied.
"Oh, so..." Ikari Shinji was stunned: "Now? Where? Let's go back to headquarters immediately."
"Here." Ayanami zero bent over to open her backpack and took out the bowling ball.
It's not a "bowling ball" anymore, it's an odd sphere covered in twisted black and white stripes with three black holes on it.
Almost at the same time as it appeared, Ikari Shinji's "duel plate" appeared on his left arm, and the information of the "miniature apostle" also emerged:
[The Winged Dragon of the Sun God Spherical Body: Attack Power: ? Defense: ? 】
"Hey..." Ikari Shinji pressed the deck, wondering if he should draw a card: "That, Ayanami? You finally decided to trigger the third shock? But isn't it inconvenient to be here? Let's go back to the underground fortress first. , closer to Eve."
"...Are you an idiot?" Rei Ayanami quoted Asuka's classic speech, and then seemed to want to give him a blank look, but failed to make a corresponding expression: "Although this apostle has just been born, if it is allowed to devour matter in the outside world, It's going to get bigger and harder to control, and even EVA won't be able to beat it, so it's going to be dealt with here in advance."
"Then..." Ikari Shinji had a bad premonition: "What is the solution to not driving the EVA?"
"Let it swallow you." Ayanami raised her hand and threw the "bowling ball" over.
"etc?!"

Gathering Garden, Swimming Pool.
wow.
Rei Ayanami, who was wearing an orange one-piece swimsuit, climbed up the ladder from the swimming pool, walked wetly to Shinji Ikari, who was staring at the laptop screen, and touched his head, then turned to leave.
...what is she doing?
