It's too late to start thinking about improving your image now.
"You really don't understand girls' feelings at all. I knew there was a reason I disliked you in the first place," Asuka retorted, though she felt a sense of relief.
Yalin remained the same as always, which reassured her.
"Are you sure you want to bring up old grievances with me?" Yalin smiled.
"Forget it, let's not bring up what happened before, or it'll never end," Asuka said guiltily.
Ultimately, the bigger problem was her.
"But what about the First Child? Did you secretly raise another one after you came to Japan?" Asuka thought of Rei Ayanami and instantly became righteous and even quite angry.
What's so great about Rei Ayanami that made Yarin abandon her to become her guardian?
As a genius who graduated from university at the age of fourteen, her conditions were no better than those of the mysterious Rei Ayanami.
"What do you mean by secretly raising one?" Yalin was both amused and exasperated.
"I have my reasons for what I have to say about Ayanami."
Then, looking at the indignant Asuka, he sized her up and down and casually said, "Besides, she's much cuter than you."
The girl immediately bristled upon hearing this; it was the thing she couldn't stand to hear the most.
The initial urge to hug him turned into the urge to choke him.
This guy is even more infuriating than before.
"You're getting worse and worse at judging people," Asuka retorted, revealing her true nature.
When the fleet commander's adjutant appeared, he invited Yalin into the command room.
After the handover with the Pacific Fleet was completed, Asuka continued what she had been doing before, forcibly pulling him away.
This left Kaji Ryoji, who wanted to get to know Yarin, speechless, and he didn't disturb the two.
In terms of factions, he and Yalin were not on the same side.
However, Kaji was not entirely loyal to Gendo Ikari; he also had his own goals, so he had no objection to Yarin.
......
"This is my own EVA, isn't it cooler than Unit-00?" Asuka said proudly, quite confident in this regard.
If it weren't for Ayrin's favoritism, Rei Ayanami would never have been her match.
"Indeed, she's quite good. The only downside is that she doesn't have any impressive achievements to show for it." Yalin smiled. Asuka's personality is too easily inflated, just like a pufferfish, and she needs to be nipped in the bud from time to time.
However, compared to her original proud, twisted, and almost disease-like state, Asuka is undoubtedly much more normal now.
"Just wait, so what if he's an apostle? I can defeat him just as easily."
Asuka said confidently, then glanced at Ayrin sideways.
"Besides, Unit-00's achievements definitely have your influence; otherwise, that candidate who looks like a doll could never be so powerful."
She didn't know Rei Ayanami well, but she knew Ayrin all too well.
"I did play a part in it," Yalin said without trying to hide it.
“Teach me, otherwise this is simply not fair,” Asuka said immediately, her eyes lighting up.
No matter how outstanding she is, she is powerless in the face of biased refereeing.
Under the same conditions, she had no reason to lose.
"You really are stubborn. This kind of personality will cause you a lot of trouble sooner or later." Yalin shook his head. This was only after he had tempered you; otherwise, you would be even more extreme.
Asuka was surprised to hear this, stared at Yalin intently for a moment, and then said nonchalantly.
"Aren't you here? Even if problems arise, you won't stand idly by."
So you're treating me like a safety net, huh?
Yalin was speechless. Although that was indeed the case, this was too blunt.
"I was right, wasn't I?" Asuka smiled affirmatively when he didn't refute her.
She has always been proud, and because of her past experiences, she is unwilling to rely on or depend on anyone.
Yalin was the only exception.
Even if she fails, the other party will still try to save her as always.
"What you said is true." Yalin really couldn't stand by and watch Asuka repeat the same mistake.
"Hmph~" Asuka smiled triumphantly upon seeing this.
Just as she was about to say something, Yalin's gaze locked onto the depths of the sea.
The apostle's aura emanated from the seabed and began to move towards the location of the blessing.
Now that the fish has taken the bait, the bait should belong to him.
......
Kaji Ryoji stayed in his room, gazing at the vast ocean.
As a triple agent, he faced immense pressure, which was masked by his seemingly carefree attitude.
"This thing is really troublesome. Hopefully, the journey will be safe and sound."
Kaji looked back at his suitcase, his usual nonchalant attitude gone.
If the things inside aren't handled properly, they could wipe out humanity prematurely.
Even with Lilith at NERV headquarters as the target, Adam's apostle was lured there.
However, if any apostles approached during the journey, they would also notice the presence of Adam's embryo.
One wrong move and we might be on the run.
He kept his eyes on the suitcase, constantly watching his surroundings.
dong dong!
The knocking on the door caught Jiaji's attention.
He hid the suitcase, opened the door discreetly, and found it was Yalin.
“Mr. Kaji, there’s no need to be so tense. Being constantly on edge can easily lead to accidents,” Yalin said with a smile.
"The mission is of great importance, so of course I can't be at ease. But with Commander Ya here, there's really no need to worry too much." Jia Zhi's eyes flashed, and then he smiled.
Very few people in NERV knew about the Adam embryo, including the vice commander in front of him.
Some even suspect that Seele's ability to so easily hand over the Adam embryo is inextricably linked to the other party.
However, a problem arises: Gendo Ikari's task is to hand over the item to him.
If Yalin makes a request, will he agree or disagree?
At least on the surface, there is no reason for Jia Fu to refuse.
"Don't overestimate me. I'm just an ordinary person who did what I was supposed to do," Yalin said casually.
Afterwards, the two entered the room, and Yalin and Kaji chatted about all sorts of things, just like ordinary friends.
Yalin didn't even ask about the Adam embryo, which kept Jiazhi on high alert, yet somewhat helpless.
This is a waste of time; it's better to get straight to the point.
A moment later, Yalin said goodbye, and Kaji paused for a moment before seeing him out.
He then immediately checked the suitcase and breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that there was nothing wrong with it.
Then I wondered what this deputy commander was trying to do.
......
“This shape is quite unique.” Yalin looked at the Adam embryo and gave a meaningful smile.
When did the blessing begin to create the illusion that he wasn't using illusions?
As for what's in the briefcase, it's naturally a replica meant to surprise Commander Ikari.
Otherwise, without any crucial items, the opponent might resort to extreme measures.
"Everything is in place, it's time for the world to dance."
Volume 1: Chapter 104: School-Live! and the Quintessential Quintuplets (Please refresh)
On the seabed, a fish-shaped apostle, hundreds of meters long, was rapidly approaching the Pacific Fleet.
It sensed Adam's presence; it was a more intense and authentic aura than that of the Third New Tokyo City.
Therefore, they abandoned their original destination without hesitation and headed towards the Pacific Ocean.
It will not give up as long as it can return to Adam, no matter where it is.
"Asuka, move to the vicinity of Unit 2 and prepare for battle."
On the deck, after teaching Asuka the secrets of breathing training, Yalin said this.
"An apostle attack?" The girl was stunned for a moment before realizing what was happening, and her face lit up with excitement.
It was finally her turn to show her skills. If a mere apostle dared to attack, she would make sure it never returned!
"Want to come along?" In her excitement, Asuka didn't forget to extend an invitation to Yarin. "Unit 2 definitely won't refuse you."
Even if Yalin's entry into the cockpit causes interference, it doesn't matter. Even with the hidden danger of decreased synchronization and the perilous situation at sea, she can still easily suppress the apostles and regain her title as an ace pilot.
Rather, this is how her abilities are better showcased.
"Don't be too reckless," Yalin advised.
Asuka's personality is typical of someone who speaks boldly when things are going well, talks nonsense when things are going badly, and remains silent in dire situations.
"Don't underestimate me." Asuka was a little disappointed after being rejected, but she was still excited and rushed towards Unit 2.
Yalin then went to the command room to remind the friendly forces.
Regardless of their attitude, the other party is at least there to provide support, so it's best to minimize the losses as much as possible.
"Does Commander A mean that an apostle will attack the Pacific Fleet next?"
