Chapter 22 Recovery Training

In the middle of the night, Shinji fiddles with a HK_USP (UNIVERSAL_SELBSTLADE_PISTOLE) under a lamp, and Misato Katsuragi has this type of gun. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

Since being bitten by a dog, Shinji has learned from the pain and understands that he does not have the aura of the protagonist, and his life is extremely fragile, and maybe an accident will be hanging. So I found this plastic gun (the body of the gun is a polymer material) that I have bought for several years and has not used it, in case of emergency. HK_USP is light and easy to carry, and the bullet is 9mm caliber, which is also a common gun for military and police in various countries.

Despite his injuries, Shinji didn't even bother to take sick leave, and ran to school happily. To meet Rei Ayana, of course. After a year of study and life, Shinji's image in the class has changed from a squishy boy to an infatuated teenager.

Since he was slapped by the goddess, he didn't even dare to say anything to Rei Ayana, peeking at people pitifully all day long, and not preserving to other women, if it weren't for Rei Ayanami's aura being too terrible, he would have been bullied by his female classmates a long time ago. Of course, it is inevitable to suffer from the envy and jealousy of many girls, after all, Shinji has a good face and is still infatuated.

The love of young boys and girls is the simplest, they like someone at that time, they will not look at how much pocket money they have in each other's pockets, they will not pay attention to what brand each other is wearing, they will not inquire about how big a house each other's family lives in, and they will not check each other's grades...... At that time, the relationship was not so much impurity, just looking at the looks.

Shinji was able to break the ice and say a few words to her, showing that this silly child would smile even if he was in pain.

"Oh, sir, what are you looking at so distractedly?" As soon as I heard this weird Osaka accent, I knew that it was Suzuhara Toji.

"Then you don't need to ask, of course it's Rei Ayana. Kensuke Aida, a candid photography enthusiast, also came to join in the fun, and when he said Rei Ayaba's name, he specially lowered his voice.

Although defeating the third apostle, the Water Angel did not hurt Suzuhara Toji's sister Suzuhara Sakura, but the class is more open and easy to deal with the personalities of the two of them, especially Shinji also intends to befriend them, so they naturally become a group.

When the bell rang at the end of the first class, a roar of sports car engines hit the window, and students came to the window to watch. With the sound of the tires, the blue sports car made a beautiful tail flick and asked to stop in the parking space, showing extraordinary ride, uh driving skills.

The car door opened, and a beautiful woman in a white professional suit came down, and the onlookers suddenly howled wolf.

"Miss Misato! It's Miss Misato! Hey, look here!" Toji Suzuhara shouted while waving his hand. Kensuke Aida was busy fiddling with the camera and photographing Misato Katsuragi's mature and moving figure. Misato Katsuragi was very childish on the surface, and she also waved in response to Shinji's greeting, waving her scissor hands and sticking out her tongue to show a mischievous smile, so the boys' cheers became enthusiastic again. As Shinji's guardian, this is Misato Katsuragi School's regular attendance at parent-teacher conferences.

"Shinji, you kid is so lucky to be able to live in the same room with a beautiful woman like Miss Misato. Toji Suzuhara muttered with a look of envy, jealousy and hatred.

"yes, it would be nice to do less housework. "You don't know how sloppy this glamorous beauty is in her private life, and she can drink a refrigerator of beer a day, Shinji complained in his heart.

"Cut, you kid doesn't know the blessing in the blessing...... If I ......," so Toji Suzuhara fell into a YY face.

Noon, meal time.

"Ayana, this is a vegetarian bento and vegetable salad I made for you. Shinji looked shy, he had done it early in the morning with his injured arm bracing.

Rei Ayanami was surprised, "Hmm...... Thank you!" took the bento and accepted Shinji's kindness, I don't know if it was an illusion, Shinji seemed to see a flash of shame on Ayana's face.

"Wow, Shinji is so gentle, he actually cooks by himself, and it's rare for a man who can cook. "Toji Suzuhara is talking big again, and the girls are whispering in groups of three or two.

"They're injured at the same time, it's really a 'bandage couple', hahaha......" Kensuke Aida also coaxed, and the class was filled with a happy air.

"How do you know I like vegetarian food?" Rei Ayanami asked.

"Call me Shinji, Ayana, and I'll call you Rei too, okay?"

"Hmm. ”

"I knew that my understanding of you was innate. How's it for you?" Shinji is not ashamed.

"Delicious...... I can't eat that much, though. ”

"It's okay, if you can't finish eating, I'll solve it, I'm going to recover and protect you quickly. ”

After a while, Rei Ayanami watched Shinji gulp down her leftovers, and there was an inexplicable feeling in her heart, warm, swollen, and full......

The days of recuperation were peaceful and fulfilling, and Shinji and Rei's relationship had a breakthrough, and she was smirking all day long, and even Misato Katsuragi couldn't stand it. But because I can trust Ayanami Rei every day, it's not bad to eat the bento that Shinji prepared easily.

Soon, July arrived, and the time for the fourth apostle was in the early part of the month, and the time was short.

Early on the weekend morning, Shinji and Misato Katsuragi came to the NERV headquarters for training.

On the escalator, "Sister Misato, does the EVA driver get paid?" Shinji asked suddenly.

"Uh...... Yes, Shinji, are you short of money? Why do you ask this?" Misato Katsuragi replied awkwardly.

"Then why didn't I get it?"

"Since you are a minor, the salary card is managed by the guardian. Don't worry, I can give it to you tonight if you want. ”

"How much money do you have every month? I don't have much money left in my card, and I'm running out of money. ”

"What?! Last time, you still had so much balance, where did you spend it?"

"Well, it didn't cost much to buy groceries, mainly for high-end restaurants to take out, and it cost tens of thousands of dollars to upgrade Xiao Q's hardware, which is already the biggest monthly expense, electricity bills. "That's right, the power consumption of the equipment in Shinji's room is comparable to that of a small computer room, and the monthly electricity bill may not be enough to cover Misato Katsuragi's salary.

Misato Katsuragi didn't expect Xiao Q to eat so much money, "Then you will be disappointed, although EVA drivers have a special status in NERV, the basic salary is actually not much, mainly in terms of benefits." ”

"Huh?"

"Yes, the basic salary is at the same level as mine, plus housing allowance, living allowance, seniority allowance, special allowance for dangerous positions, special allowance for dangerous areas, and combat allowance, the annual salary is about more than 10 million (yen), wow! Misato Katsuragi looked frustrated after estimating.

"That's so little, that's my money. Shinji muttered.

"Shinji, this is probably the highest level of treatment for NERV, don't be too little. NERV has legal privileges, free education, lifelong health care for the whole family, and access to the highest level of medical care......"

"These points don't help me, okay. First, I do not sin; Second, I don't have to go to higher education anymore; Third, aren't you the only one in my family? ”

Misato Katsuragi felt a warm heart after hearing this, and her efforts were finally recognized by Shinji and regarded as her closest family member.

"Alright, alright, don't complain. As an operational commander, ensuring your safety is always a top priority. After the economic collapse, there are not many people in the country who have such good welfare, and most civilians are still struggling to get enough to eat, let alone the displaced. Let's work together, as the savior who saves this world, you have to work hard, now your task is to train well......" Misato Katsuragi comforted Shinji by pressing Shinji's shoulders, and she had a set of them.

"No, I'm going to ask my dad for a raise, or I'll stop driving an EVA. If you don't beat the apostles, you will only be paid, a million dollars is enough, and the cost of a shell is only the cost, how much ammunition you have to waste each time. Shinji said bitterly, as if the wasted taxes were all his, so he could only point the finger at Lao Ikai.

"Haha, you little money fan!" Misato Katsuragi said with a headache.

"Katsuragi, is Rei's first machine still frozen?" Shinji asked as he changed his name.

"Yes, it's frozen since the last rampage, and the second start experiment has not been arranged, and Leigh's body hasn't recovered well. You're worried about ......" when it comes to work, Misato Katsuragi's tone becomes serious.

"It seems that I will have to fight alone in the face of the Fourth Apostle. Don't worry, I don't have any premonitions of danger this time, and it should be easy to deal with. Shinji said lightly.

"Does it really matter?"

"No problem, my hunch is more accurate than your women's sixth sense. Shinji laughed.

"That's good, and the high-vibration particle axe you want will be delivered next week. Do melee weapons really work?"

"Well, ranged weapons will be blocked by the AT force field, unless the two sides are very close to cancel each other's AT force field, why do you need ranged weapons at that time?"

"That's too, so the Technology R&D Department prioritized the development of melee weapons. ”

As the two spoke, they arrived at the training room where Ritsuko was.

"Then, Ritsuko, Shinji will leave it to you. Misato Katsuragi shook off her long hair and left.

"No problem, good morning, Shinji, come over here. Ritsuko said.

"Good morning, Dr. Akagi, you're beautiful today. This is ......" in which the personality has a sweeter mouth.

"Hello, I'm a technical lesson.,Ibuki Maya in charge of EVA.,Please advise.。 Maya Ibuki said.

"Hello, please advise! Miss Ibuki is so young, she looks like a girl in my class. "The Maya of Ibuki seems to have a tender face, and she is Ritsuko Akagi's younger sister, and the two seem to have an unspeakable lily...... Ahem.

And the work clothes of the female staff of NERV are also tasteful, with short skirts and tight white pants, and uniforms to tempt MAX!

"Haha, Shinji-kun is really good at pleasing girls, this is your special combat uniform, the locker room is over there, you can enter the training laboratory after changing, Ritsuko-senpai will guide you, come on. By the way, you can't wear anything in your combat suit, otherwise it will affect nerve conduction. Maya Ibuki said a little shyly.

"Wait, Shinji, your wound is almost healed, but you still have to untie the bandage and wash it, otherwise the powder will not dissolve into the LCL. Ritsuko Akagi said.

So Ritsuko untied the bandage on Shinji's arm with her own hands and began to scrub it with medical alcohol. So close to Ritsuko, Shinji smells a smell of tobacco mixed with a faint perfume.

"Uhhh

Ritsuko was depressed, "Don't be so squeamish boys, you'll be fine soon." ”

"Oh good...... Dr. Akagi, have you known my father for a long time?" Shinji began to inquire about gossip.

Ritsuko's movements slowed down, "Of course, it's been more than ten years. ”

"No wonder Lao Ikari sacrificed Hue to treat you as a confidant. Shinji thought, "Oh, what kind of person is my father in your eyes?"

"Commander Ikri is a great leader. Ritsuko replied meticulously.

"Oh, what is he like outside of work?"

"This ...... I don't know what happened to Commander Ikari's life. Ritsuko's mouth was really tight, and her movements suddenly accelerated.

"I know that his heart is harder than anyone else's, and his own flesh and blood can be discarded and reused, not to mention outsiders ......" Shinji meant.

"Okay, that's it. Ritsuko obviously didn't want to discuss the topic, "This kid is not as calm as he seems, and he seems to have a lot of resentment towards his father." She thought.

"There's another wound ......," Shinji couldn't help but blush.

"Oh?" Ritsuko flipped through the medical records, "Take off your pants then." "She doesn't have any taboos about patients.

"I ...... Let's do it yourself. "Shinji still has to be cheeky.

"Are you sure you can?"

"No problem, just wash it. ”

"Oh well. ”

Ritsuko left the room, "Shy, that's what a normal teenager would be." Ritsuko breathed a sigh of relief.

After a while, Shinji's pain was heard in the room again, after all, it was the most vulnerable and sensitive part of a man.

Ritsuko saw Ibuki's face flush, "What's wrong?"

"Ah...... It's okay, senior. ”

After some tossing, Shinji finally entered the insertion bolt again and began training with the EVA simulator.

"Insert the plug and inject the LCL solution...... There is no anomaly, and the synchronization rate is as high as 52.7%! The last data was 41.5%. Ibuki was surprised.

"It's amazing, according to common sense, counting the gain of the driving suit, it doesn't progress so quickly, and it took Li months to barely operate, this kid was born to drive an EVA. Ritsuko helped her glasses and said. "Shinji, how do you feel?"

"I don't feel good, I will cough half to death when I inject LCL, and I am estimated to cough half to death when I discharge LCL for a while......"

"I'll get used to this later. LCL solution is designed to protect the driver's life and maintain the neural connection with EVA. Through the cushioning effect, the driver is protected from impact injuries in the same way that amniotic fluid protects the baby. Ritsuko explained.

Shinji secretly plugged the data cable into the connector in the driver's seat, so that Xiao Q invaded the EVA body through the physical connection, and cracked the EVA control system inside and out, but it took a little time.

"I have a few questions for Dr. Akagi about EVA. "Curious baby Shinji began to ask, after all, he hadn't had a chance to meet Ritsuko since he defeated the water angel last time, and he was delaying time by the way.

"Say it. ”

"EVA is an artificial human biological weapon, isn't it?"

"EVA is essentially a living organism, and that's right. ”

"EVA and Apostle can both expand AT force fields, are they homologous?"

Shinji's question went straight to the key point of secrecy, and Ritsuko was stunned for a moment before answering, "You need to get a sample of the apostles to get a definitive conclusion." ”

"What does EVA eat?"

"EVA doesn't eat, and its energy comes from LCL nutrient solution. ”

"Does EVA need to be excreted?"

"What?"

"I mean EVA as an organism has to have metabolites, right?"

Ritsuko's face was full of depression, and she said impatiently: "There are very few biochemical metabolites in EVA, and only a little bit of it is excreted through the pores. ”

"Huh, doesn't that have an anal urinal canal like a human being?" Shinji asked rhetorically.

Ritsuko had already clenched her fists and said angrily, "No." ”

"Ah, isn't the EVA meat very sassy? Like a shark, it can only excrete nitrogenous metabolites through the surface of the body, and the meat will have a strong smell of urine. ”

"That's not true, sharks only keep a lot of urea in the blood in order to maintain high osmotic pressure......" Ritsuko has been unconsciously led to a crooked rhythm, after all, she is a participant in the EVA program, and the flesh and blood of the body have long been strange.

"Oh, so does EVA have a gender? Can it be reproduced through sexual reproduction?"

"EVA doesn't have a reproductive system, so gender doesn't make sense. ”

"How do we control EVA?"

"The central nervous system of the driver and EVA is connected to the LCL as a medium, so that the body can be controlled by the driver's mind. ”

"Is there a lifespan limit for EVA...... Why does it only last for 5 minutes after a power outage instead of being marked by total energy...... Is the output power of any activity of the body constant...... What does EVA's meat taste like, and can it solve the meat problem......" Shinji asked a series of questions.

"Ritsuko-senpai, we don't have much time to train. Ibuki reminded with an embarrassed look that if she couldn't handle Shinji's strange question.

"Alright Shinji, it's training time next. Ritsuko looked exhausted.

"This is the location of the socket for the armed building, the ejection exit, the recovery site of the mech, and the backup power supply, you have to remember ......" Shinji felt that he appeared in a holographic simulation of the ground, and after Ritsuko's explanation, Shinji's ability to remember was revealed, and he passed it all at once.

"Very good, next is shooting training...... Aim at the image of the water angel, aim at the red core, and shoot ...... Next ...... "Then came the boring repetitive training, just like Shinji did in a virtual reality game, which he was already familiar with.

Ritsuko has free time and calls Misato.

"Misato, how do you get along with Shinji?"

"He?Shinji...... It's been a year since I transferred schools, and it's still the same. I don't have any friends, I don't like to go out, and I like to stay at home and do my hobbies. Except for the teacher, no one called him, and his personality was a little withdrawn, which may be related to autism. ”

"Autism?"

"Yes, I'm more or less troubled, but he's getting closer to Ayanami in the past few days, and he should be on a good side. Originally, according to his character, he wouldn't take the initiative to make friends, which is really rare. Ritsuko, has Shinji caused you trouble?"

"It's nothing, it's funny, I always have a sense of powerlessness in the face of this child, and it feels a little nerve-wracking to deal with him, but he doesn't look like his father at all in the face of girls, and his mouth is very likable. ”

"Yes...... Is it?" On the other end of the phone, Misato was thinking that it must be Mishap. "Ahaha, in fact, this kid sometimes speaks unscrupulously, that's because he is out of society, in fact, he doesn't have any scheming, he asks what to answer, he won't hide his emotions, and he even cried to me last time he was beaten by Li, and he was as coaxing as a child. ”

"You know him well. ”

"After all, I took him like a nanny for a year. ”

"Thank you for your hard work, then, goodbye!"

"Goodbye. ”

"Hopefully I'm thinking too much. Ritsuko put down the phone and said.
