Chapter 21: The Fall

"Asuka is to Mr. Crowley, what kind of storage do you have?"

Crowley and Shinji Ikari, who were sitting near the top of the mountain with mineral water bottles, were taking a final break, ready to wait for a while and go straight to the top of the mountain. Although this can be called a barren mountain range, but fortunately, due to the improvement of human living standards, the rich people who come here for vacation have also repaired this thousand-year-old pavilion, and even in order to avoid the cold, this small pavilion has been made into a glass house with very strong glass, so that even some mountaineering enthusiasts can hide here when they encounter heavy snow, and wait until the end of the university before leaving.

Smelling the rotting smell of the wood, Shinji Ikari didn't understand if it was the so-called antique, but he still felt a good smell.

"Ah Xiang, of course it's my daughter."

The effect of the thermos cup is still very good, it is close to twelve o'clock at noon, but when the cup is opened, the tea brewed in it is still hot, and Albert is also chatting with the third qualified person for the first time, what kind of child this only EVA driver has been so far, he is completely unclear.

"But...... I've heard that Asuka isn't your biological daughter......" Shinji Ikari who suddenly realized that he was probing someone else's ** felt a little embarrassed, but if he ended this problem directly, I'm afraid it would be even more embarrassing.

"Well, I don't have any children, Asuka didn't have Crowley's original name, her original name was Granger, but her mother is mine...... Senior, maybe it should be considered a sister, right? When I first started working, he took good care of me. Although she passed away due to some accident, I received a will left by her while she was still alive, and gave me this child. Albert took a sip of hot tea and tilted his head out the window, as the snow that had stopped seemed to begin to fall from the sky again.

"Well, Mr. Crowley, do you love Asuka?"

"I love her very much, everything I have in this world can be handed over to her......" Anyway, as long as I can find my way home, I can't take anything in this world with me, Albert laughed at himself slightly, "She's the closest person in the world, I'm the headmaster of Hogwarts, and she's the princess of Hogwarts." ”

Why Principal? Shinji Ikari couldn't help but complain in his heart, "So ......"

"But, you know," Albert, who could see Shinji Ikati's thoughts, said to him very strictly, "My mother told me since I was a child that I was a boy, so I had to be poor and strict in order to become a qualified adult in the future, and girls had to be cared for as princesses." Shinji Ikari-san, your father, Commander Ikati, I'm afraid he thinks the same way, that's why he asked you like that, right? ”

"Then go back!"

Hearing Albert say this, Shinji Ikari remembered what his father had said to him on the first day he came to NERV. Strict requirements? Isn't it my father's fault? Is this how all the boys in the whole world are raised?

Shinji Ikari seemed to have dissolved the knot in his heart a little, and he remembered the scene when he was praised by his father for the first time, "It turns out that my father doesn't love me, but that boys must be treated like this?" ”

"Alright, let's continue to go out, before the snow falls, reach the top of the mountain, and take the cable car down the mountain."

Toot toot toot!

I was about to push the door open, but the phone rang.

"What's the matter, Misato, is that girl rolling down the mountain again? You can help her deal with it a little, and Shinji Ikari and I will wait a little longer and go down the mountain. Seeing that it was Misato Katsuragi, who stayed at the hotel, brought the phone, Albert subconsciously thought that Asuka had mischievously turned herself into a snowball from the mountain and rolled down to play. Anyway, the clothes are very protective, and no matter how naughty she is, she won't get hurt.

"Not really, Mr. Crowley, I'm afraid our vacation is coming to an end. Just after a call came from Tokyo, a new apostle appeared. ”

“……？” Seeing that Albert, who was originally a smiling face, suddenly turned into indifference, Shinji Ikari was a little puzzled.

"Well, I know, come down with Shinji Ikari right away, you call Asuka, she also has a portable phone on her." Hanging up the phone, Albert sighed, "Shinji Ikari-san, it seems that we can't get to the top of the mountain and take the cable car down the mountain." ”

"Apostles?"

"Well, now, grab my hand!"

Shinji Ikari honestly grabbed Albert's hand, but unexpectedly Albert's hand was really warm, but his own hand was as cold as ice.

"Hold on!" After saying that, Albert stomped his foot, and four pairs of small turbine engines slowly popped out of the soles of his shoes, "The fastest path down the mountain is to go straight straight!" Your shoes also have the same function, so you have to hold my hand, and for you, this power is too great and will make you lose control and spin in the air...... Initiate! ”

With a chirp, the two of them turned into trapeze artists and flew towards the hotel at the foot of the mountain.

"Leigh! Come and see! There! ”

Hidden behind snow-covered bamboo leaves next to a cliff, Asuka and Rei Ayanami quietly observe the pandas that are still feeding in winter, and Asuka takes out a small camera to take pictures of the pandas.

"Isn't it cute?" Watching the panda pull off a piece of bamboo and slowly put it in his mouth, Asuka's eyes were almost shining.

"Yes." Although Ayanami Rei replied in a small voice, her eyes did not leave the panda, this tenacious life has existed on the earth for millions of years, and when she first saw the panda from the tree when it was born, it was not much bigger than a mouse, Ayanami Rei did not believe it at all.

"Hey, the phone is vibrating...... Leigh, I'll go and answer a phone call first. Asuka whispered, hunched over to the side.

"What! The apostles appeared? It was clearly set to be a 7-day holiday, but you had to return the next day? What a disappointment! After listening to Misato, Asuka complained dissatisfied.

"I'm sorry, but there's no way around it, after all, if there's an emergency, you'll have to go back. However, if you can solve the apostle quickly, as long as it is within this 7-day vacation, you can continue to come back for vacation. Katsuragi Misato smiled, but her eyes revealed sadness, this time the huge apostle that appeared in space had already aimed at the third Tokyo city, if the apostle's aT force field was fully opened, plus the huge mass formed by the increase, the entire third Tokyo city could be razed to the ground, but she had to rush to the 'death penalty' with her three children, maybe as long as the three children stayed here, she could live a smooth life like this.

"Okay, okay! Let's go back! Hanging up the phone, Asuka angrily walked towards Rei's position.

However, the panda is still calmly eating bamboo, and before you know it, the snow that has fallen heavily has submerged the footprints left by Asuka before.

"Where's Leigh?"

There were no footprints on the ground, and there were vertical cliffs hundreds of meters deep all around, but Rei Ayanami disappeared out of thin air.

A bad feeling surfaced in Asuka's heart, "Rei! Where are you? ”
