Happy times are short-lived, but they can be remembered for a long time, and the good mood gained from the weekend of the hike will keep everyone on the hike relaxed and happy for the rest of the week. Welcome to the reading

Under the influence of this positive emotion, Shinji Ikari has also greatly improved the synchronization rate with Eva Hatsuki, and his driving skills and combat skills have also made great progress.

Although Rei Ayanami has improved during this time, her potential seems to have really been tapped, and the improvement is far less than that of Shinji Ikari, a newcomer, and she has finally been surpassed by Shinji Ikari a little bit in terms of synchronization rate.

However, whether it was Rei Ayanami herself, Chu Xuan, or Dr. Ritsuko Akagi, who was in charge of technology, they didn't seem to care about this.

Rei Ayanami continued her training mission as usual, neither lazy nor diligent; Chu Xuan cared about Rei Ayaba's psychology as always, but he didn't make any requirements for her ability; Ritsuko Akagi still grasped the progress of various research work step by step, and the conversation with Chu Xuan when she was alone one night did not seem to have any effect on her.

-- Actually, everyone is like this, except for Shinji Ikari, who has become much more cheerful and positive, the people who participated in the hike have not changed, their mood has improved, and their work efficiency has improved, but this does not mean that their deeper "inside" has changed.

After all, they just went to the mountains to play around in the pretense in a very ordinary way, and they didn't encounter anything strange during the camping period, so it was strange that even the "inside" would change.

"Colonel Chu Xuan, the mecha you applied for has been sent to Gnaku, please have time to take a look at it over there in the maintenance class."

On the afternoon of June 5, Chu Xuan, who had already begun to actually participate in a number of research projects led by Ritsuko Akagi (which did not include projects with a high level of secrecy such as "dummy~system"), received good news from his "top boss".

"I know, then I'll go first today."

Chu Xuan agreed without raising his head, and began to finish the work at hand.

The reason why he can be so ** is not because of his high military rank, but because his scientific research ability is as high as his command and driving ability, so he can get special treatment in the technical department that respects knowledge and scientific research strength.

And the ordinary researchers of NERV don't say that they can come and go when they want, they are actually no different from ordinary workers, they have to go to work on time every day, but they often do not leave work on time, and it is a common thing to "be voluntarily" worked overtime until late at night, and annual leave or something is just a beautiful fantasy.

"By the way, this is Rei and the black cat's new ID card, please bring Shinji's ID card with you, right?

In addition, please take back their old cards and hand them over directly to the Internal Affairs Department. ”

Before Chu Xuan left, Ritsuko Akagi remembered another thing and put a small white bag like an envelope on his desk.

Chu Xuan waited for the computer to enter the shutdown level before opening the envelope and looking at it, there were only three hard ID cards inside.

On the following Monday, Shinji Ikari in the "original plot" visited Rei Ayaba's apartment for the first time under the pretext of sending a new ID card, and enjoyed the killing plot brought by the protagonist's aura in the apartment, but now he has no chance at all.

It's better to say that let Chu Xuan send a new ID card to Shinji Ikati, does this mean that even if the role is changed, that plot will be realized?

“……”

Chu Xuan put the three ID cards back in the envelope, then pushed down the reflective glasses with an expressionless face, nodded lightly at Ritsuko Akagi, and then left the research room.

When he arrives at Gnaku, all three of them are training as usual, with Shinji Ikari and Rei Ayanami piloting real EVAs, and only Black Cat is using the virtual training system.

"Colonel Chu Xuan, you're here."

After seeing Chu Xuan, Misato Katsuragi walked over from the screen that monitored the driver's training status and took the initiative to say hello to him.

"I came to see my MS.

In addition, this is Shinji's new ID card, so remember to hand over the old card to the Internal Affairs Department after you hand it over to him. ”

Chu Xuan took out Shinji Ikati's new ID card from the envelope and handed it into the hands of Misato Katsuraghiro, seemingly determined to give up the "kill and die plot" that might appear.

But this is also a matter of course, after all, Chu Xuan is not a or ** who likes boys.

"Thanks, I'll tell him to hand over the old card to the Internal Affairs Department when Shinji comes out."

Misato Katsuragi took the new ID card from Chu Xuan, and by the way, handed over the task of handing in the old card to Shinji Ikari herself, and then she turned her head to a corner of Gnaku.

There's a newly added mech kit with a green "Angular Triple Speed" that's half the height of EVA fixed on it.

"MS-06S, equipped with MS for ace drivers and commanders, has a certain improvement over MS-06F...... But it's just a big road.

But how can we use the higher-level Gundam or other mechas, which are held like treasures by various development agencies? ”

Misato Katsuragi smiled self-deprecatingly, then turned around and asked Chu Xuan very seriously:

"Senior Colonel Chu Xuan, have you really decided to fly that kind of body that is impossible to break through the Apostle's AT force field?"

"Yes, while that MS isn't of much use right now, it can also serve as a cover and draw the attention of the apostles.

And at the key point of the battle situation, even if it is just the 'last straw', it may change the final result. ”

Chu Xuan straightened his back and replied solemnly, while Misato Katsuragi nodded expressionlessly.

"Given your track record in Super Robot Wars, I'm sure you can do it, but I don't take you into account when I make my battle plans.

In the same way, you don't have to take my command and go around the battlefield with your camera yourself to help Shinji and Rei - but don't order them to change their plan of battle after the battle has started if you don't have to, okay? ”

Misato Katsuragi said the words that she had probably prepared a long time ago, and it seemed that in order to avoid another conflict with Chu Xuan in the future, she had also made up her mind.

Although it is really unpleasant to have a guy who is free under his command, and that guy has the right to change his orders at will, Misato Katsuragi really doesn't feel that he has any self-esteem in front of Chu Xuan - if the higher-ups of nerv knew that Chu Xuan's command ability was so strong from the beginning, I am afraid it would not be her turn to "point fingers".

Therefore, she could only give up her dignity and choose to tolerate the existence of Chu Xuan, the "prison army".

"No problem, I will respect your commander-in-chief, and I will not overstep my command unless necessary, but I want to gain battlefield command."

Chu Xuan pushed down his reflective glasses expressionlessly and put forward his own request.

Katsuragi Misato hesitated, if she lost the command of the battlefield, then her role would only be to draw up a battle plan and command at the strategic level, and it was impossible for Chu Xuan not to participate in these two aspects, so what was the point of her existence? Why don't you just let Chu Xuan command it?

Although Misato Katsuragi is not in love with the position of power, for some reason, she wants to be able to be the apostle herself.

If you can't drive EVA yourself, then do you command those who drive EVA yourself.

So......

No matter what, she has to stay in this position, even if she is completely overridden by Chu Xuan, she has to be cheeky to stay in this position!

"So...... Those children will leave it to you from now on. ”

Misato Katsuragi, who was a little hot-skinned, solemnly bowed 90 degrees to Chu Xuan and said very earnestly, but even if she lost the power to directly command the EVA driver, she still did not say anything angry about resigning again.

Just ...... For the kids who have to drive EVA to fight the Apostles! (To be continued.)
