(I'm Shell X1...... ）

The first thing I can do in the face of unexpected changes is to confirm as much as possible the situation I am about to face.

It's true that the secrecy of this kind of thing will be very high, but if you don't inquire into the body itself, but confirm the time, method, and driver of the test, you can at least get some information, right?

I took it for granted, and then I naturally hit a wall in a row.

"Even if Makoto Ito says so...... Uncle Ben still doesn't know."

After raising the topic to the level of brotherly righteousness, even Shinji Ikari, who usually looks rude, but is actually quite easy to talk to, is a little unhappy.

"Don't say that Uncle Ben won't care about these things from the beginning - what kind of new body pilot is Uncle Ben's dick, not to mention, no matter how close Uncle Ben and Daddy his relationship is, these things, Bastard Daddy didn't have the intention and need to tell me from the beginning."

"Yes...... But ......"

"It's nothing, it's taboo to be too talkative and have a lot of tongues in the gang"

Looking at Shinji Ikari's appearance, maybe if he doesn't agree next, this guy will be going to cut people with a knife.

"Hmph...... Useless male mantis ......"

When Shinji Ikari left, Serra, who had been silent at my signal, finally finished marking the title of the teenager.

Is it a male praying mantis? Not...... It seems quite a formidable name, but ......

"Hmph...... This kind of storage is only worthy of being eaten as nutrients after completing one's mission. ”

"Ahhh......h That's a bit of an exaggeration...... Then again, do you want to play with an EVA in Sierra Sierra? ”

Regardless of whether this guy's words are true or not, it's an indisputable fact that I didn't get the information I needed from his mouth, and besides, this guy's tone of being the biggest in the world and the second in the world really makes me a little unhappy.

"Ahhh......h As...... How's it going to be with the health teacher? ”

"Ritsuko Akagi...... The woman...... I'm afraid it's even more leaky. ”

Well, of course, that's just the mouth, right? Judging from the woman's appearance when she saw Ikari Gendo, I am afraid that as long as the uncle wearing sunglasses beckons, this health care teacher who is flooded with spring tides will strip off his ass and rush up.

Sure enough, it was not in vain that I guessed that when I asked Ritsuko Akagi, who was in the command room about the EVA driver synchronization rate test, I still got a formulaic smile.

"Makoto-san...... Why did you suddenly become interested in such a thing? ”

"That...... It's just a little curious, and the new mech is okay, but it's ...... This time the test ...... Also, what kind of driver will it be......"

"It's the type that Makoto is interested in, I believe it...... You won't be disappointed. ”

"Huh?"

When pressed again, Ritsuko Akagi refused to say even a superfluous word, and at best only gave me that kind of smile that made people stay away.

The type that would interest me? Is it the test method or the driver? If it's a test method...... Is it nine shallow and one deep or an old man's cart?

"Makoto-kun, your head...... Did someone knock it out? ”

"Huh? How do you know...... By the way, last night, the vicious woman named Asuka not only hit me on the head with a stick, but also tied me with a belt, you ......"

"Ah, do you want me to help you get revenge? So ......"

The girl's face was smiling with a chill.

"How about a different way tonight, with a leather whip and a candle?"

…… So, which side are you on?

"So...... How about the officer who lives with Makoto? ”

Unlike Zhixian, the current Xuzi is putting himself in my shoes to help me think about solutions.

"Misato Katsuragi? Maybe she'll know yes, but ......"

……

"How is it tested?"

When I found Misato Katsuragi next, I was amazed by the results.

"Didn't you help Ashford School Park make a request?"

"Huh?"

Ashford Academy...... Request?

Well, I do seem to have mentioned to Shinji Ikari that the Knightmare test would be conducted on the ground facilities of this No. 1 Middle School...... Hmm, wait?

Drunkenness does make people lose their memory, and if my memory is not wrong now, then, last night, when she drank to the end with Misato Katsuragi, this woman did mention that "Kinghtmare and EVA will fight to test the performance of the body".

"In fact, it can't be said to be confrontation, after all, the two sides belong to different camps, and if there is really any damage, it is really not conducive to the current situation."

Misato Katsuragi during working hours is always a strict and serious female officer, but judging from the way she is constantly rubbing her calves, it seems that Miss Katsuragi is a little impatient with her current job, that is, supervising the restoration of a large computer located underground?

“…… Ahhhh......h In short, I plan to take advantage of the next Apostle attack to complete the test including the third machine and the Knightmare, and the object of the test is naturally the Apostle itself, and if you gather two high-end mechs, there should be no problem in dealing with that kind of guy......"

Ha?

Although Misato Katsuragi had her own guess before she said this, this is not what I guessed...... It's really different.

As a testing machine, it may be reasonable if the object of the requisition is BETA, but as soon as you come up, you will face the same level, or even more powerful apostles...... Is that really okay?

"If there's a problem, the three EVAs on standby can also be dispatched at any time, and I believe that Ashford School Park won't let its own testing machine go wrong, right?"

Not...... Rather, in my opinion, it should be the drone "Lancelot" under the control of Lelouch who accompanied the test machine to complete the test, right?

In other words,No matter which school park the next apostle appears in,The enemies that will be faced will be four EVAs and at least two Kinghtmare,Such a lineup,I'm afraid it's no problem to directly enter the underground BETA lair of the Bailing Hiiragi School Park.。

Anyway,Speaking of the White Ridge Hiiragi School Park,In the past,I seem to have been asked to participate in the battle against the BETA counterattack.,But so far,There's still no news from there.。

"Bailing Hiiragi School Park? I've heard that it's been in a bitter battle recently.,A large number of fortress-level BETAs have appeared among the enemies.,Don't talk about counterattacking at the moment.,Even the guardian school is quite a problem......"

"Fortress class?"

Indeed, I have heard of this kind of beta that is said to be quite powerful, and it seems that it is a powerful being that can only be fought against by using the most high-end mechs.

"Ah, I guess there were one or two of them every few days, but recently, the number and frequency of stronghold-level betas have increased, and the number and level of beta as battle clusters have also increased......"

Misato Katsuragi sighed while taking advantage of her position to order the staff who were debugging the computer program to project the Fortress-class BETA directly on the small screen of the mini computer.

"The development of a new mech is also a last resort, after all, in addition to the apostles, even the BETA has gradually begun to bring a lot of threats to the first middle school, such as this kind of fortress-level BETA, the use of the base's defensive firepower can no longer cope with it, and every time you can only dispatch EVA to rekill the ......"

Ah, the big guy up to 60 meters, even if you bombard it with missiles or artillery, I'm afraid it won't help, right? What's more, I heard that even the ninth-generation Kinghtmare can only do things like "breaking through the shell of the fortress-level beta in one hit".

I shuddered at the thought of being attacked by something like this, just to think about being attacked by something like this, with its massive pincers and ferocious jaws, and the fat tail with a sharp needle-like pattern.

Well, even if it is the size of a tactical aircraft, as long as it is bitten or attacked with a tail pin, the most heavily protected cockpit will be destroyed in an instant, right? So......

"So,I heard that even the Bailing Hiiragi School Park has recently begun to study new mechs.,And,There's already a preliminary result.,But,Even if it's researched,The Bailing Hiiragi School won't waste time doing this kind of test.,It's going to be put directly into the battlefield, right?"

“……”

Obviously, in the Bailing Hiiragi School Park, I was treated quite unfairly by a female teacher named Xiangyue Xihu.,But,Now,I'm starting to worry about those girls who are fighting bravely at the forefront all the time.。

"Hmm...... Then, when the situation on the IS Academy is stable, we will send a few IS to help fight......"

WITH IS'S ATTACK POWER, EVEN IF IT CAN'T DEAL LETHAL DAMAGE TO SUCH A HUGE FORTRESS-LEVEL BETA, WHEN DEALING WITH A LARGE NUMBER OF SMALL SPECIES, THE FIREPOWER COVERING A LARGE AREA CAN BE QUITE EFFECTIVE.

I believe that the Bailing Hiiragi School Park will not refuse such assistance, right? If I can use this to make that Xiangyue Xihu change my opinion of me a little, maybe it can have an unexpected effect.

"Then again...... As the pilot of the No. 3 plane, what the hell is ......"

"Oops...... Is the boy still breathless? ”

I don't know why, the woman Misato Katsuragi actually showed a meaningful smile.

"Someone must have gotten the news from someone who came to ask me, right? However, if I sue you now, I will lose my mystery......"V
