"It's finally starting to wake up." Zero Guan looked at the first machine in the distance in amazement, and with a wave of his hand, the mass-produced EVA that was being beaten by the giants of light fell to the ground in an instant. He then took the Giants of Light and began working on all production EVAs.

"The first machine after awakening should be able to rescue Rei Ayana, thus triggering a third shock. In that case, I don't have much time left......"

Active awakening is more terrifying than passive rampage, the first machine roared in the sky, her eyes bloomed with a violent red flash, at this moment, she is not just a combat weapon made by high technology, but more like a living, living species.

The next moment, the first machine launched an attack on the Twelfth Apostle Force Angel, and in an instant came to the side of the Force Angel, clenched his right hand into a fist, and slammed into the opponent's door.

Bang-bang-bang-bang-

The AT force field appeared again, and the fist of the first machine hit it, and in the sound of impact, layer after layer of golden force field shattered, and the fist approached the target little by little. Although the Force Angel is still replenishing the AT force field, the distance between it and the first machine is still rapidly decreasing.

Seeing this, the force angel's body suddenly scattered, and the human body re-transformed into twelve scarlet ribbon tentacles, stabbing towards the first machine like a knife wheel.

However, the blood ape tentacle that had caused great trouble to EVA was completely unable to threaten the first machine at this time, and at the moment when the ribbon tentacle stabbed over and the AT force field dissipated, the right hand of the first machine grabbed a ribbon tentacle and pulled it to the side hard.

Boom - !!

The figure of the Angel of Force was forcibly pulled by the first machine, and his body involuntarily moved in the direction from which the force came. The tentacles that had been waved before were also out of direction as a result. At this moment, the first machine rushed up with a stride, kicked the power angel down, straddled it fit, and hit it like raindrops with his fists.

I don't know if it was blinded, but the Force Angel didn't use the AT force field for defense. Instead of using the light technique to fly and suppress its first machine, he manipulated the dancing ribbon tentacles to kill the first machine from behind. Seeing this, True Hippo naturally wouldn't let it get his hands on it easily.

She quickly rushed forward, and a "Ultra Cut" cut off the four ribbon tentacles on the spot, and stepped on the four ribbon tentacles with her own feet, and then, she extracted a powerful force from the red timer, converted it into a paralyzing beam, and carefully shone it on the force angel.

In this short period of time. The sharp ribbon tentacles had already cut several wounds on the body of the first machine, and the body was simply a blur of flesh and blood, red liquid continued to gush out, and some of the restraints that bound the power of the first machine simply fell down, revealing the flesh and blood texture inside.

Even so, the first machine is still beating the body of the Angel like crazy, completely ignoring its own embarrassment, that's all. The white bony object protecting the core was once again opened, and the red, spherical core was exposed in front of the first machine. It's just one step away. Rei Ayanami will be able to save it.

"Wow~, it looks like a docile child is really scary!!" True Hipo stood together, watching the first machine beat the Angel of Force.

"Strange! The first machine has obviously begun to awaken.,Why hasn't the left arm returned to the way described in the plot?,Is Shinji Ikari's will not strong enough? ”

In the distance, Zero, who was renovating a mass-produced EVA, pondered strangely.

"If that's the reason. Then let me add some spice to him, just to pass the time. Smiling mischievously, he concentrated his energy, and his power instantly penetrated the protection of Shinji Ikari by the first machine, and transmitted the effect of the illusion into the mind of Koshou.

Thereupon. The first machine, which was beating the Angel of Force, stopped moving without warning, as if it had run out of power, and was dead and motionless.

"What's wrong?"

"The pilot of the first plane has an unknown abnormality, and the signal tracking is abnormal, so it is impossible to know the situation inside." The technician quickly reported the results of the supercomputer analysis to others in the operations command room.

Hearing this, Ritsuko Akagi subconsciously said, "What's going on? Could it be that the Twelfth Apostle also has the ability to erode EVA bodies? ”

Misato Katsuragi said solemnly: "It shouldn't be, it's Shinji who has a situation there." ”

"What the hell is going on?"

Just when the NERV operations command room was in a state of suspicion, it was a different scene for the person concerned, Shinji Ikati.

A white expanse......

There is no color around except white.

"Here...... Where is it? I remember it...... I'm fighting the Twelfth Apostle! Shinji Ikari looked at the unfamiliar surroundings in confusion.

“…… Shinji...... Shinji...... Real, stupid Shinji! Don't wake up yet! ”

"Hey, someone is calling me, the voice is so familiar...... It's ......"

Bang - !!

Before Shinji Ikari could call out who his voice was, a sharp pain came from his stomach to the nerves in his head, and he woke up in pain.

When you open your eyes, the first thing that catches your eye is the cool, clean floors, familiar furnishings, and rooms that smell of "home".

"This is ......"

Shinji Ikari propped up his upper body with his hands on the ground and looked around in a daze.

"Ah, you idiot? You don't even know your own home anymore? I'm too dazed to sleep! Okay, hurry up and eat, I'm going to be late for school! ”

A white and tender palm appeared in front of his eyes, and he shook it back and forth, attracting Shinji Ikari's gaze to see a familiar beautiful face.

"Asuka? You're not dead!! Shinji Ikari instantly woke up from his daze, his eyes widened, and he looked at the pretty girl in front of him in disbelief, and his heart was filled with excitement.

"Ah~!"

Asuka crossed her hands on her hips, and her beautiful pretty face was covered with frost, "Stupid Shinji! I actually dreamed of letting Miss Ben die, believe it or not, I complained to Aunt Wei! ”

"Aunt Yui? Who's that? ”

"Don't you even recognize your own mother? Okay, okay, I'm going to complain. With that, Asuka picked up the schoolbag on the table next to her. Turned around and ran out of the room.

"Mom? What the hell is going on? Shinji Ikari was full of question marks at this time, and when he saw Asuka running outside, he subconsciously got up and chased after him.

At this time, he realized that the clothes he was wearing were not combat tights, but a white short-sleeved shirt with a pair of trousers underneath. It's exactly what he wore when he first arrived in the third new Tokyo city.

What the hell is going on?

Running out of the room in confusion, Shinji Ikari was stunned as soon as he walked out of the door.

At the door stood a beautiful woman with short brown hair, dressed in white loungewear, holding a plate of freshly made breakfast in her hand, smiling at the two people who ran out of the room. At the dining table not far behind her, Gento Ikari sat in a chair with a newspaper in his hand.

"Mom...... Mother ......" Shinji Ikari looked at Ikari in a daze, and for a moment he didn't know what expression to use to face the scene in front of him.

"Ah, what's wrong with Shinji? Fever? "Yui Ikari put down breakfast. Walking up to Shinji Ikari, he reached out with concern and gently touched his head.

"Mom's ......"

Feeling the warmth coming from the top of his head, the breath of his mother in his nose, Shinji Ikari couldn't help but squint his eyes, tears swirling in his eyes, and finally slipped down silently.

"Why are you crying, Shinji, what's wrong with you?" Ikari half-squatted down in a panic. Took Shinji Ikari into his arms and patted him lightly on the back, "It's okay." It's okay, you've got your mom by your side. Shinji, don't be afraid, Mommy will protect you! ”

This warm feeling, this happy feeling, is really a mother!

The voice of motherly love sounded softly in my ears. That gentle tone made Shinji Ikari want to cry even more, wanting to tell Ikari the pain he had experienced before......

"Yui, how many times have I told you, don't spoil Shinji too much. Look, he's about to be raised as a girl by you! Ikari put down the newspaper. Looking at this side with a cold face, although there was not much concern for Shinji in his words, the worry in his eyes could not be concealed.

"Mom, I'm fine......"

"The stupid Shinji is not ashamed, and he has to be coquettish in Aunt Yui's arms when he is so old." Asuka carried her schoolbag in one hand and made a grimace at Shinji Ikata.

"It's okay." Ikari gently wiped the tears from the corners of his son's eyes, and pushed him to the dining table to sit down, "Eat breakfast, I'm going to be late for school." ”

"Ah, by the way, there's no time left!" Asuka reacted suddenly, grabbed a loaf of bread from the plate, then took Shinji Ikari's hand and ran towards the door.

"Huh? Huh? Wait a minute...... My school bag. ”

"It's so unseemly! The personality is not as good as the girl's Asuka. Looks like I'm going to have to make a plan to work out and train Shinji! Looking at his son's lifeless appearance, Ikari Gendu felt anger in his heart for no reason, and pushed his eyes with his middle finger, "Well, it's called the 'Shinji Cultivation Plan'." ”

"Ah, raise or something, husband, you're really ......"

Involuntarily being pulled away by Asuka, Shinji Ikari hurriedly found that he was carrying a schoolbag similar to Asuka in his other hand for some time.

"It's—oops!"

was so stunned, when passing around the corner, he suddenly bumped into a girl in a sailor suit, and the two fell together at once.

"I'm sorry...... I'm sorry...... I don't- huh!! Shinji Ikari subconsciously apologized, but when he saw the other party's appearance, he couldn't say any more.

"Ayanami ?!!"

The girl who fell to the ground had short water-blue hair, and was rubbing her forehead and knees in pain, and the corners of her slightly shriveled mouth looked so pitiful.

The joy of being lost and regained, as well as other indescribable emotions, came to my heart, and Shinji Ikari couldn't help but be stunned for a while.

It turns out that Ayanami can have so many moving expressions......

"Stupid Shinji, what are you doing!" Asuka was dissatisfied and yelled at Shinji Ikari who was drunk, and actually played ambiguously with a girl in front of herself, and she was a little bolder!

"Well, I'm just, just...... Ah, yes, I'm sorry! "For no reason, there was a burst of weakness, and then. Shinji Ikari hurriedly apologized to Rei Ayana.

"Oh, it's okay, it's okay." Rei Ayanami hurriedly stood up from the ground and waved her hand repeatedly, with a hint of blush on her face in embarrassment.

The anger on Asuka's face grew heavier and heavier, looking at the two men and women who were in a hurry. She sensitively felt that there seemed to be a big crisis in her position.

Something has to be done, I !!

"Stupid Shinji, let's go!" Just do it when you think of it, Asuka pulls Shinji Ikari who is still stunned, and runs towards the school like a gust of wind.

"Wow, Asuka let go, I can't breathe...... Out of breath! ”

If meeting Ayanami around the corner is like an encounter in a strategy game scene, then what Shinji Ikari encounters next is a standard school comedy life movie.

Here, Asuka is his classmate, and he has attributes such as childhood sweetheart and mixed race. The other two of the stupid trio are also there, the class president girl is also there, Misato Katsuragi has become his homeroom teacher, and Rei Ayana, who he just met, is a transfer student, and the seat is in the empty seat next to Shinji Ikari.

Shinji Ikari naturally talks and chats with Rei Ayaami, and then is attacked by his childhood sweetheart Asuka in the gloating eyes of Kitomo.

And then......

Shinji Ikari, who has a posture of "I'm a big winner in life, I want to open a harem", invites Rei Ayanami to his home as a guest in Asuka's angry gaze that almost condenses into substance. Here, Rei Ayanami is no longer a three-nil girl. but a gentle, lively and cheerful girl, therefore. She easily agreed to Shinji Ikari's invitation.

In the end, the three of them went to Shinji Ikati's house, and saw the gentle Yui Ikari and the cold face, but in fact, he was thinking about the development plan for his son in his heart......

In this way, Shinji Ikari's previous life and experiences are all erased, and pain and helplessness are replaced by warmth and happiness. The fighting and bloodshed were also washed away by the daily slapsticks, EVA, the Apostles, the NERV...... These experiences are as if they were just a vivid dream, and there is no trace of them in reality.

After that, Shinji Ikari's happy and troubled daily life unfolds, and two beautiful girls with different personalities, Rei Ayanami and Asuka, circle around her. From time to time, the two friends make small mistakes with themselves and do some stupid things. Now that you have a confidant and a confidant, are you still dissatisfied with personnel?

As the days go by, happiness and joy are the main themes of life, and Shinji Ikari no longer seems to have the need to be nostalgic for his previous life.

"Happy Birthday!!

On this day, all the people related to Shinji Ikari came to his house and set up his home to look like a queue. On the other side of the candle-lit cake, everyone looked at him with a smile.

Was everything before really a dream?

Or ......"

It's in a dream now.

Looking at these smiles, Shinji Ikari thought in his heart for no reason.

Suddenly, a voice appeared in my heart.

"So you're satisfied, aren't you?"

"What?"

"Isn't this world exactly what you want?"

“……“

"Do you have any other grievances?"

“……”

Shinji Ikari didn't speak, and stood there quietly.

And while he was thinking, the people around him were still smiling happily, and several of his peers were holding carefully wrapped gifts in their hands. They didn't seem to see Shinji Ikari thinking, showing different movements and expressions from the birthday party, just smiling and looking at today's little birthday star.

Shinji Ikari didn't notice this.

He was just asking himself.

There are no apostles in this world, no EVA, and no need to worry about a third shock that could happen at any time, neither Ayanami nor Asuka are in danger of dying at any time, and they are still by my side, living an ordinary and happy life.

The gentle mother is by his side, and his father, who seems to be cold but cares about him, is also by his side, this home is what he has always dreamed of.

Misato Katsuragi as the head teacher, Ritsuko Akagi as the head teacher, and Komasasu Fuyutsuki, the principal...... This world, it's really great!

However......

Shinji Ikari always has a kind of unwillingness in his heart!

Why do you feel unwilling?

What do you feel unwilling about?

He didn't know.

He only knows that there is always an unwilling emotion in his heart that controls him, making him feel more and more unreal about the ordinary happy life, as if the surrounding world is just a stage carefully arranged by others, Mom, Dad, Ayana, Asuka, Suzuhara Toji, Katsuragi Misato, Ritsuko Akagi, Fuyutsuki Kozen, these people are all actors, all of them are acting with themselves, living the life they want to live.

"Human beings can only survive by forgetting their memories, but there are also ...... that cannot be forgotten"

"People grow up on their own, only children rely on their parents, learn to be self-reliant, Shinji......"

The words of his former father echoed in his ears, and his voice became louder and louder......

At this time, the actions of the people around him were clearly reflected in his eyes, and Shinji Ikari faced these things that he was unwilling to face in the past for the first time.

“…… I see! This is called a real dream!! Shinji Ikari reluctantly looked at everyone in front of him, tears quietly rushed out of his eyes, blurred his vision, and bowed suddenly, "Thank you!" I finally got it! ”

"Papapapa――――――"

Everyone laughed and danced their hands.

Ikari Shinji burst into applause, and when he opened his eyes again, everyone around him was gone, and it was pitch black, and a misty white light shone from above and slowly descended.

Looking up at this white and beautiful light, Shinji Ikari gently spread his arms and greeted the arrival of the light in a welcoming posture, and a smile gently tugged at the corner of his mouth.

"Wait for me, Leigh, I'm here to save you!!"

The next moment, the light poured into Shinji Ikari's arms, and the white light suddenly bloomed from his body, and in an instant, the black around him was completely expelled. (To be continued......)
