"Shinji, are you alright? Shinji! ”

In the middle of the communication line, Misato Katsuragi's call rang again, and although Shinji Ikari wanted to say yes to her, the rather real pain coming from his body made him speechless for a while.

And when he finally breathed a sigh of relief and realized that it was not his body that was hurt, Misato Katsuragi, the "cohabitant" and "guardian" on the other end of the communication line, asked someone next to her about the condition of the first machine.

"How's the damage?"

"No problem, you can continue!"

Anyway, Miss Misato only lives with him because of his duties, Miss Misato, her father, the people in the base, and ...... The scary man with the reflective glasses cared about Shinji Ikari as the "third qualified person", as the pilot of the first plane, and as the "savior", not any other Shinji Ikari.

"Uh...... Uhhh ”

Shinji Ikari gritted his teeth and tried to prop himself up, and as his body continued to rise, his gaze naturally fell to the vicinity of the left hand that supported his body, and happened to find something between the index and middle fingers of Hatsuki's left hand that shouldn't be there.

"Ah......h

With the resolution automatically zooming in, Shinji Ikari recognized the two who were lucky enough to dodge the huge palm of the first machine...... Or maybe he moved to the gap between those two fingers in time, so as to avoid the fate of being photographed into two small cakes, and now he is hugging a good friend who is trembling together.

- Of course, it wasn't Shinji Ikari's best friend, but Shinji Ikari did "know" the two of them, because the two teenagers who didn't go to take refuge and suddenly appeared here were his classmates.

Today, when everyone knew that he was an EVA driver, the man with the big glasses was the most enthusiastic of his classmates who surrounded him and asked him this and that; And the one in the tracksuit, with his sleeves rolled up, kept staring at him behind the bespectacled boy with a very unfriendly gaze, as if he had some grudge against him.

Although Shinji Ikari knew that the reason why those people were so enthusiastic about him was only because they were interested in the mysterious robots that had not yet appeared in Super Robot Wars, he still had a fluttering feeling for a moment, and felt that being close to becoming an EVA pilot didn't seem to be all a bad thing, but he didn't expect his classmates to witness such a bad performance of him.

"Shinji's classmates?"

"Why in that kind of place!"

At this time, in the command headquarters, the supercomputer "Three Sages" quickly called up the simple information of the two teenagers, Misato Katsuragi and Ritsuko Akagi were quite surprised and annoyed by the appearance of these two, only Chu Xuan and Black Cat, who were familiar with the "plot", were still expressionless as usual.

But...... Has the maintenance of the "original plot" reached this level in this world? So the "human completion plan" ......

Just when everyone's attention was focused on the sudden incident on the huge screen, Chu Xuan quietly pushed down his reflective glasses, and slightly divided part of his mind to think about other things.

On the battlefield, the Fifth Apostle, who was in desperate pursuit of the first plane, had already flown over the small hill and blocked the sunlight above the first plane.

Then the two whips of light flashed, which stood out in the shadows, but the first machine did not choose to flee when it was time to escape, but quickly grabbed the two thermal tentacles drawn by the Fifth Apostle.

"Oh no, with those two kids here, Shinji can't dodge!"

In the headquarters, Misato Katsuragi really hated it, but the accident had happened, and she could only change her battle plan helplessly now.

"Rei, go and hold back the apostles, Shinji protects those two ......"

"Nope! Rei, take advantage of the opportunity to seize the tentacles of the first machine, and use the high-vibration particle knife to directly attack the Apostle's S2 trap! ”

At this time, Chu Xuan, who had been silent, actually overstepped his authority and gave an order for the Minister of Operations, Misato Katsuragi, and what was even worse was that in order to prevent Misato Katsuragi from changing the order, he also covered the other party's mouth.

"Uh-huh!"

Misato Katsuragi struggled angrily, constantly trying to attack Chu Xuan behind him with his elbows, heels, and the back of his head, but was lightly defused by Chu Xuan, who was proficient in various martial arts and whose physical fitness was far beyond that of ordinary people.

Whether it's Misato Katsuragi or the others in the command department, they know the result of the battle between the first and the fourth apostle, the fourth apostle knew that he was going to die, but he chose to die with the first one, if the fifth apostle also played the "romantic" self-detonation in the same way, Shinji Ikari and Rei Ayanami sitting in the EVA should not be injured, but the two teenagers "outside" will definitely be wiped out.

- Even though the two bear children died entirely on their own, Misato Katsuragi still couldn't save them because of this.

But now she was restricted by Chu Xuan's movements, and her mouth could only make a "hmm" sound without anger, although the others in the command were surprised by Chu Xuan's sudden move, but no one came to stop him, and many of them lowered their heads weakly.

In any case, NERV is also a military organization, and in a military organization, Chu Xuan's approach is undoubtedly the most correct, as a "colonel", even if he takes the command of Captain Misato Katsuragi without authorization, it cannot be counted as a "subordinate offense", but can only be regarded as an act of ultra vires - and it is the kind with good reason.

Perhaps Senior Colonel Chu Xuan did have to accept punishment for his ultra vires after the fact, but his impromptu decision would also be rewarded by his superiors; And although Captain Misato Katsuragi will not be punished for asking the first aircraft to protect the civilians for retreating, everyone knows that her superiors will never appreciate her "humanitarian spirit".

To put it mildly, a single plate of armor on Eva's body was worth more than the lives of the two teenagers, and even if the technologists who had never seen blood were allowed to vote, most of them would have voted for the elimination of the Apostles first-time, especially if they didn't have to make the correct but rather cold-blooded decision themselves.

Let alone...... The Fifth Apostle may not have blew himself up this time?

In the complicated sight of everyone, the EVA Zero machine piloted by Rei Ayanami quickly approached the Fifth Apostle from behind with two tentacles firmly grasped by the first machine, and the two hands went around the sides of the Fifth Apostle respectively, and stabbed the high-frequency vibrating particle knife held in the backhand fiercely.

"Woo-ah-ah...... Eye! I'm going to be blind! ”

Extremely bright sparks continued to burst out between the high-frequency vibrating particle knife and the unusually hard S2 mechanism, blinding the eyes of the pair of good friends who were admiring the ambiguous "sandwich" formed by two giant robots and a giant monster up close.

The black cat first discovered this abnormality in the small video window in the corner of the huge screen, and pointed to the two good friends who covered their faces in surprise, as if they couldn't bear to look directly at the philosophical battle scene in front of them, and asked in confusion:

"What happened to those two people?"

"Eyes flashed with sparks, civilians without any protection are vulnerable to all kinds of injuries on the battlefield."

Misato Katsuragi, who had already been let go by Chu Xuan, replied with a very gloomy face, and casually glanced at Chu Xuan fiercely, but Chu Xuan used his weird flat glasses to reflect her gaze.

Indeed, even if the Fifth Apostle did not blow himself up, the two bear children on the battlefield were likely to suffer various injuries including strong light, strong sound, high temperature, high pressure, poisonous gas, and radiation, and even the fist wind brought by the fist and foot exchange between EVA and the Apostle could directly blow them away and cause them to crash into a hard object.

Even if the last two children survived the battlefield safely, it couldn't hide the fact that Chu Xuan didn't care about their lives at all—of course, Chu Xuan didn't think about covering it up.

Everyone should bear the corresponding responsibility for their own actions, some of them cannot be shirked if they want to, they can only bear it themselves, Chu Xuan is like this, and the same is true of the two bear children. (To be continued.) )
