Chapter 2003: The City of Demonic Mist in the Dead World (18)

—2015.7.8—
Gathering Garden.
"Hey, did you see that?"
"What?"
"What are you pretending to be stupid? That foreigner."
"Ah, did you mean that transfer student?"
"Yes, yes, she seems to be called 'Sou Liu·Asuka Langley', beautiful, good grades, all-round sports, if-"
"If only I were dumb."
"…really."
Ikari Shinji looked at Suzuhara Toji and Aida Kensuke, who were arguing with the girls in physical education class, and quietly moved away from them.
There is no other reason, simply not wanting to talk about classmates behind their backs, definitely not worrying about being retaliated by Asuka in the back.
If it wasn't for the need to participate in group activities to increase the strength of the AT force field, he would rather go to the Literature Department to ask Ayanami to borrow books.
Although Misato Katsuragi's schedule does not include any hints about the increase or decrease of the value that should be fully recovered after each battle, Shinji Ikari himself has summed up a rule. Basically, the itinerary for completing group activities will be increased, and the completion will be completed The itinerary for solo activities will not change.
This kind of increase or decrease sounds a bit conflicting with the concept of "the wall of the heart". After all, participating in group activities is to communicate with others. You should take the initiative to let go of your guards. It is impossible to increase the AT force field, but think carefully, if you are not keen Socializing, just treat it as a task, it makes sense: participate in group activities → meet social needs → no longer want to communicate with others → the thickness of the heart wall increases.
The AT force field is an amazing thing.
As for Asuka, the No. 2 pilot who is full of "stupid", "Miss Ben" and "I'm a genius" has to come to class. I got the corresponding degree certificate", probably because Kaji Ryoji also has a "cultivation system" exactly like himself and Ayanami Rei.
But because of this, going to school is completely a "task" for her, so while ensuring the completion of the "task", she can act recklessly.
For example, when she introduced herself on the first day of her transfer, she said:
"I'm not interested in ordinary qualified people! If any of you are humanoid apostles, followers of the outer gods, agents of the Earth Alliance, and reincarnators from other worlds, you are welcome to come and play with me!"
Is there something wrong with German child culture? And there seems to be a particularly weak identity mixed in.
Maybe Asuka planned to use this kind of shocking remarks to calm the whole class and make people afraid to strike up a conversation, but she obviously underestimated the enthusiasm of the second-year class A classmates.
- Are aliens in the M78 nebula okay?
—I am the incarnation of the Sapphire Apostle, and now I need a fund to repair the body that was penetrated by the EVA!
- When will the time traveler stand up and shiver!
-what? Has my identity as a humanoid apostle reincarnated in a different world, favored by the outer gods, and joined as a dual agent has been exposed?
- You put this stack of Buffs!
So, publishing the 2nd grade declaration in the middle school 2nd grade classroom of per capita superpowers will only have this result.
At the end of that day, she angrily chose a seat in the first row and threw the back of her head to all her classmates.
Well, even in this state, he has to become the focus of everyone's attention, as expected of a genius driver.

Community Building.
"President, today-"
"Welcome back, Master~"
Bang!
Ikari Shinji slammed the door and looked up at the club's door number.
"It is indeed a literary club, why is there Ayanami wearing a maid outfit? I must be too low-eyed in the AT force field."
Ikari Shinji shook his head and reopened the door.
"Welcome back~Master~" Rei Ayanami, the maid outfit, was still there.
Um... No, although the voice and appearance are very similar, but the hair color and eye color are wrong, Ayanami has blue hair and red eyes, she has brown hair and blue eyes - wearing a white wig on her head.
Ikari Shinji looked at the depths of the club classroom over the maid Ayanami, and as expected, he saw Rei Ayanami who was sitting quietly reading - the normal version.
"Hey, President, where did you get the maid?" He smiled at the girl who was very similar to Ling Ayanami, and walked into the Literature Club to bring him to the door.
Perhaps it was an illusion, he felt that the girl wanted to run away.
"She came to me and wanted to join the literary club." Lingami Ayanami said in her usual tone.
"Shouldn't 'you' tell her that this is the uniform of the Literature Club?" Ikari Shinji turned to look at the "maid outfit Ayanami": "Is it okay to mess around like this?"
Although some words are inconvenient to speak directly, but for the sake of 100% synchronization rate, he believes that Ayanami can understand:
Is this the "Information Integration Thinking Body" doing something again? We have a lot of secrets, can we let outsiders know about it?
"It doesn't matter," Ayanami replied, "Her name is Kirishima's real name, second-year Class C."
It doesn't matter which one is it? It's okay to let her hear it or not to say important information here?
"Well, hello..." Ikari Shinji tried to greet the girl whose name was Kirishima's real name.
"She is an agent sent by the Earth Alliance, her real name is 'Kishara', and her code name is 'Blue-Eyes White Dragon'." Lingbo Ling added.
"..." Ikari Shinji's outstretched hand froze.
There is probably something wrong with the guy in charge of substituting the agent's number!
"She has been trained as a secret agent since she was a child, and she was admitted to the Garden of Gathering with full formal compliance procedures, just to spy on the intelligence after NERV started EVA to deal with the apostles, so that the Earth Alliance can build its own 'EVA'," Ayanami continued to break the news with a calm expression: "She has a one-way connection with her superiors. After the fifth apostle was defeated, she received an order to approach us. The time limit is one year. During this period, she tried to enter the field of vision of NERV, and there was no specific task. Free play, if you can test drive the EVA or even get the driver's status, it's best, for the sake of confidentiality, her superiors will contact her again after a year."
This secret work is really well done... No, with the information integration thinking body, the secret work is meaningless at all.
"That is to say, she can only spread the information after a year? And if she is caught in the process of spying on the information, there is no rescue plan at all?" Shinji Ikari looked up and down Kirishima's real name: "The father What would you do with spies?"
"Break down into LCL solution."
"Hey! We have to soak in it all day!"
"Then chop it up and feed the pigs."
"Where does NERV raise pigs! And petty bourgeoisie, shut up!"
Hmm... Ikari Shinji looked at Kirishima's real name, who was shivering while holding the tray: "In other words, you caught a spy and took her as a maid on the condition that you don't hand her over?"
"Well, because cleaning the club classroom is troublesome," Ayanami said, "What other ideas do you have?"
I think the bunny girl's words... blah blah, I didn't think of anything!
"..." Rei Ayanami looked up at him: "Kirishima-san's appearance and voice are 73% similar to mine, but she has a positive and cheerful personality and likes to chat with others. There is a 99% chance that she is going to go after you when the Earth Alliance Agent System is activated. of."
"It's ridiculous, can't I like the quiet type of girl?"
"You are a good person."
"…"
"Pfft." Kirishima's real name was amused.
—2015.7.22—
"You actually have club activities!?" Asuka yelled in Ikari Shinji's ear.
"This... the schedule was originally just 'going to school', and it didn't say that I had to go back to training immediately after school." Ikari Shinji raised his hand to dig his ears, but he just touched his head under Asuka's sharp stare.
"No reason! Since the apostles start appearing, they won't stop. As EVA pilots, we can't be slack in the slightest, and we must be ready to fight the next apostle at any time!" Asuka lowered her voice slightly: "I am an EVA pilot. Talented drivers, you are training every day, but you all go to play club activities and play house games? Are you an idiot!"
"Your attribute improvement must not be high..." Ikari Shinji whispered.
"Ah?! What did you say?" Asuka almost pressed her nose to Ikari Shinji's face.
"I said...then I'll ask Ayanami for leave today and go back early." Ikari Shinji took a half step back.
"Hmph, it's none of my business whether you go to training or not?" Asuka tilted her head.
I get it, she was new here, and there was no peers to communicate with in the base, and she felt very lonely.
"Really, is it because there is no one to compare during the training, can't it reflect the excellence of the genius pilot?" Ikari Shinji complained: "Alright, alright, I'll be the background board."
"Hmph, it's good to know, take my back as the target of catching up, oh hehe~" Asuka smiled and covered her mouth with the back of her hand.
Is this saying "I approve of your qualifications as my partner"?
Although it is easy to understand, it is very tiring. If the synchronization rate between myself and her can be quantified, it should not exceed 20%.
"The club building is behind the teaching building, let's change our shoes first—"
Asuka opened the shoe cabinet briskly, and then a love letter fell on the floor.
"..." She was stunned for two seconds, and began to step on those letters: "Damn! No self-knowledge!"
"Well... the Andromeda alien, the future man twenty years later, the strongest superpower on Earth, a traveler from another world," Ikari Shinji read the signature on the envelope: "Isn't this quite in line with your requirements? "
"It's just some fools who admire Miss Ben and can't see her identity clearly," Asuka took out her shoes and put them on: "You won't understand the troubles of a beautiful genius girl."
"How do you say it..." Shinji Ikari opened the shoe cabinet, and there was an envelope about twice as much as Asuka dropped from it: "I quite understand."
"..." Asuka pointed her finger at him, stunned.
"It's all your fault," Ikari Shinji said quickly, "Most of them are because I have a good relationship with you, and they asked me to go out for a heads-up."
"Who, who has a good relationship with you, just as an excellent genius driver senior to help the weak junior." Asuka tilted her head.
Once again, although it is easy to understand, it is very tiring.
—
Community Building.
"Oh, the literary club, it really fits Ayanami's style, wearing thick glasses and reading tomes that no one understands." Asuka commented while looking at the literary club's sign.
This impression is too stereotyped, and EVA drivers are not nearsighted.
"By the way, let me tell you in advance..." "Hey~ top student~ I'm in~"
Before Ikari Shinji could finish speaking, Asuka pushed open the door and walked in.
"Huan, welcome back, Lord, Lord?"
bump!
"#￥%@!" Asuka jumped out of the door suddenly, slammed the door shut, and made a bunch of inexplicable gestures to Ikari Shinji with a twisted expression.
"Ah, don't be surprised, it's normal to have a maid in the literary club." Shinji Ikari pushed open the door and walked in.
"?" Apparently also frightened, Kirishima Zhenna, who was wearing a maid outfit, was holding a tea tray and staring at the door. Seeing Shinji Ikari walking in, he expressed his doubts with his eyes.
"Don't be nervous, that's the pilot of the second plane." Ikari Shinji comforted.
"..." There seemed to be a little light in Kirishima's real name's eyes, but it quickly went out: "I, I'll go get some tea."
Are you thinking about missions even now? How on earth did the Earth Alliance agency let a little girl of the same age be so determined to help them?
But it is a pity that she has now fallen into Lingami Ayanami, no, it has fallen into the hands of the information integrated missing body, I am afraid that she will continue to gain hope and despair in the future.
"Haha, yes, the literature club should have maids, it's a tradition." Asuka finally prepared herself and walked in a little hand in hand.
Which country's tradition?
Speaking of which, since Asuka transferred to another school, it was the first time that she had had a private contact with Ayanami. They were one in the first row and one in the back by the window. One was happy and the other was quiet. Although they had been in the same space for a long time, they were completely different. There is no communication, and I don't know what the first sentence is.
"HELLO~" Asuka said in broken English to Ayanami Rei, who was reading by the window: "You are the pilot of Unit 0, Ayanami Rei? My name is Asuka, Soryu·Asuka Langley, the pilot of EVA Unit 2. Driver, get along well in the future."
Such a stiff greeting, full score is 10, 2 can't be more.
And Ayanami's subsequent response can also be guessed, most of which are "if there is an order, I will follow it".
"Then sign here." Ayanami took out a piece of paper and handed it to Asuka.
"What is this..." Asuka picked up the piece of paper: "'Application for admission to the literary club'?"
"Um."
"No, why should I join this inexplicable society? A lot of people begged me to go, but I didn't go."
"You said before that you should get along well."
"I mean getting along well as an EVA pilot—"
"The pilot of the first machine is also a member of the literature club."
"What does he have to do with me?"
"All EVA pilots joined the literary club, and you refused to join."
"Yes... yes, so what's the matter."
"You were lying when you said you should get along well."
"Huh? I'm not—"
"Then sign here."
"Do not…"
"lie."
"Wow, it, can't I sign it..."
Ikari Shinji rolled his eyes towards the roof, I don't know if Asuka is lying, but you are obviously bullying.
"Three...Master...Please use tea." Kirishima's real name came out of the cubicle and poured tea for the three of them. She looked at Asuka who was gritting her teeth while filling in the department's application form, and then asked Shinji Ikari. eyes.
The synchronization rate is not enough, I don't know what you want to ask, but I can roughly guess how you got caught by Ayanami...
Ikari Shinji nodded to her: "It's hard work."
"...?"
