"Miss Misato, the girl on the submarine is the second qualified!"

As Mithril's assault submarine "Son of Dannu" slowly sailed into the military port of Nerv, Shinji Ikari saw Asuka standing in the wind at the highest point of "Son of Dannu" with her hands crossed in front of her.

Although the beautiful European girl with the long brown-red hair was just standing there with her head held high, Shinji Ikari's intuition made him realize that maybe this genius beautiful girl was not as easy to get along with as he thought, maybe ......

More difficult to get along with than a black cat.

"......, why do you keep secretly looking at me out of the corner of your eye, do you want to die once?"

The expressionless black cat sensed Shinji Ikari's voyeurism, so she squinted her eyes and faintly intimidated this "dishonest" guy, and her two red pupils moved to the side of her slender eyes, which appeared more evil than usual, and also emitted a vicious light.

"Yes, I'm sorry......"

Shinji Ikari shuddered in fright and quickly withdrew his gaze.

Are you kidding! Is the new one scarier than the black cat? Can you still drive EVA happily!

Before the submarine could come to a stop, Asuka jumped onto the gangway and was the first to step on solid ground.

Then she walked directly to Misato Katsuragi and Chu Xuan without hesitation, and took the lead in greeting Misato Katsuragi after approaching:

"Miss Misato, we finally met directly."

"Hello Asuka, welcome to the NERV headquarters."

Asuka and Misato Katsuragi seem to have known each other, probably through the Internet or video communication in advance.

Then she moved her gaze to the people behind Misato Katsuragi, but her expression was relatively normal when she only looked at Chu Xuan, and when her gaze swept over the three "peers" one by one, her face showed a little ...... Expressions of dissatisfaction or disdain.

The black cat, who had long known Asuka's arrogant personality as the only one in the world, secretly pursed her lips, and then she lowered her eyes slightly. I don't bother to look at the "pride" of that guy to continue to interpret what "tsundere" is; Rei Ayanami still couldn't understand the complex meaning of Asuka's subtle expression, so she was still able to observe the other party calmly and calmly.

Shinji Ikari, who is very sensitive to this kind of contemptuous gaze like a black cat, was stabbed by Asuka's sharp eyes and involuntarily shrank his neck. And immediately avoided the other party's gaze, but he could feel it even if he didn't look at it. The girl, who was more glamorous and noble than all the women he had ever seen, must have had a look of mockery and contempt in her eyes.

It was the gaze he was used to, but for some reason, Shinji Ikari suddenly felt a sense of unwillingness in his heart, so he raised his head sharply again, and just collided with Asuka's eyes that seemed to be looking at garbage.

“！”

Tomorrow Xiangleng for a while, and the kid on the other side, who was full of "**silk" breath at a glance, still had the courage to look at her, which she really didn't expect. But she immediately sensed her weakness, and immediately glared back with a more ferocious gaze, until the other party fled with his tail between his legs, and then retracted her gaze contentedly.

Then she straightened her back. Very ladylike asked Misato Katsuragi with a helpless face:

"Miss Misato, who is this gentleman?"

"This is Senior Colonel Chu Xuan whom I mentioned to you, from the China Branch.

Like me, he is in charge of the guardianship of the qualified in addition to his own job, so I will come to greet you this time. ”

After Misato Katsuragi finished speaking. Asuka's expression didn't change at all, it seemed that she had already guessed that the man with facial paralysis and glasses with very obvious characteristics was Chu Xuan, but her reserve as a genius didn't allow her to take the initiative to greet Chu Xuan.

- This guy must have learned from Misato Katsuragi that Chu Xuan was the "Colonel Chu Xuan" in "Super Robot Wars", and he also knew very well that she didn't have much chance of winning in front of "Colonel Chu Xuan", so he put on such a polite and thoughtful attitude. Instead of recklessly provoking or even challenging Chu Xuan.

"Miss Langlei, hello, I'm Chu Xuan."

Chu Xuan pushed down his reflective glasses expressionlessly and took the initiative to say hello to Asuka.

"Hello Mr. Chu, it's a pleasure to meet you.

Am I a Shibo? Asuka? Langlei, just call me Asuka. ”

Asuka smiled implicitly, and then took the initiative to hand her right hand over - but not in a handshake gesture, but in a kissing gesture.

According to the traditional Western etiquette, Chu Xuan should kiss the back of the lady's hand, and this must bow to Asuka; However, in traditional Chinese etiquette, men have absolutely no reason to bow their heads to women other than their elders - even in the face of the queen, there is a fig leaf of "motherhood in the world", and bowing to the wives and daughters of superior leaders will be considered unethical.

If Chu Xuan refuses to kiss the hand because of sexism, then he has fallen into the trap of Asuka; If he wants to be a gentleman and doesn't care about bowing his head to Asuka, he also falls into Asuka's trap.

But this trap is definitely not bowing to a woman or something, if Chu Xuan shows a gentlemanly demeanor, then Asuka will be inferior to laugh at him with this point again, and the trap that Asuka carefully hides is actually ......

"The recipient of the hand kiss should be a married lady, and it would be rude to give this to a young girl."

Chu Xuan said this indifferently, and at the same time, he held Asuka's outstretched fingers straight with his waist, shook it twice with just the right amount of force, and then let go without hesitation.

“……”

After the "conspiracy" was discovered, Asuka's face immediately turned red, it seemed that she was still very confident in her little trick just now, maybe as soon as she saw Chu Xuan's always expressionless poker face, she subconsciously thought that Chu Xuan must be the kind of person who has a very high IQ and a very low EQ, and it is absolutely impossible for her to be proficient in etiquette?

Not...... It seems that Chu Xuan had just said to the black cat, "On the surface, it seems that a little wooden will be more beneficial to his actions", but he didn't expect that a genius beautiful girl would fall into the pit he dug in advance so soon.

"Yo ~ Misato, long time no see."

At this time, a "literary middle-aged" with braids on the back of his head, a stubble on his face, and a loose tie relieved Asuka - but it is not appropriate to say that he is middle-aged, although he looks like a raunchy prodigal uncle, but his actual age should be less than thirty, but the presence of slag makes him look a little more mature.

"Why are you here too? You're in charge of Europe! ”

When Misato Katsuragi saw the unruly man, her eyebrows immediately raised, and even if she spoke with anger, she couldn't help but show a gritted teeth, as if the prodigal had abandoned her from the beginning.

"There's a special order, I'll go first, and I'll go back to you later.

Hello, Senior Colonel Chu Xuan, I am blessed with good governance, and I ask you to take care of me in the future.

Other than that...... You're not the only one who knows how badly she sleeps, Shinji-kun Ikari. ”

"You're going to die for me! Don't show up again! ”

The prodigal son, who claimed to be blessed with Ryoji, simply coped with Misato Katsuragi, then greeted Chu Xuan exquisitely, nodded to the three beautiful girl drivers, and left an ambiguous message to Shinji Ikari, and finally in the roar of Misato Katsuragi, Shi Shiran got into a black bulletproof car that seemed to be specially to pick him up.

Carrying an army-green metal suitcase in his right hand, and handcuffing the handle to his right wrist, it seems that the contents of the box are very important.

Because...... The mercenary officers who got off the submarine after Blessedr Ryoji, dressed in different uniforms from the Nerv, kept staring at the suitcase with rather complicated eyes until Blessor Ryoji got into the car and ran away.

――They must be suspecting that the real important thing in this mission is not the EVA 2 and its pilot, but the suitcase in Ryoji's hand.
