Rei Ayanami ignored her and continued flipping through the book until she paused on a certain page and smiled.
Upon seeing this, Asuka glanced at it, then her face darkened.
The book contained a photo of Ayarin and Rei Ayanami standing in a forest with fallen leaves, making a gesture of giving an eggplant, their smiles quite jarring.
Asuka was immediately envious, since she was the one who arrived first, both in terms of knowing each other and being her guardian.
Why did Yalin develop such a deep connection with this doll?
If she had known this would happen, she should have come along in the first place.
"Don't think I'll give up just like that, there's still a long time to go (one) bell crying s!i Wu Jiu 〒 罒 (^ nine) Dad." Asuka felt a mix of emotions, but she still persisted.
Rei Ayanami tilted her head, staring at Asuka with a puzzled look. Then, in a fleeting glance, she spotted a familiar figure, her eyes immediately brightening. She quickly gathered her books and stood up.
"What do you want to do? I'm an expert in martial arts." Asuka instinctively adopted a fighting stance to prevent Rei Ayanami from launching a surprise attack.
Rei Ayanami ignored her and rushed straight to the entrance, burying her face in Ayrin's arms to feel his breath and warmth.
"Lin, I miss you."
Rei Ayanami said seriously.
After being separated for some time, she found that her longing for Yalin had not lessened, but had become even more intense.
She once asked the class monitor, who confidently asserted that it must be love.
The fluttering in my heart can be described in the same way; there's no need to hide it.
Asuka turned around and stared at the scene, completely dumbfounded.
Is this first eligible candidate really that proactive despite his seemingly indifferent demeanor?
Upon hearing this, Yalin gently ruffled Rei Ayanami's hair, sensing the longing in her heart.
He was gratified that Rei Ayanami was now emotionally indistinguishable from a human.
Asuka waited anxiously for a few seconds, her thoughts becoming chaotic.
Damn it, she wanted to do that too, but someone beat her to it.
Rei Ayanami is indeed a formidable opponent.
"Is that enough?"
Ten breaths later, Asuka spoke, her tone full of bitterness.
As the two separated, he darted in and hugged Yalin tightly.
It's not scarcity that's the problem, but inequality; she also needs to replenish her Yalin energy.
......
In the living room, Yalin gave each of the two girls an ice cream to calm them down.
Due to the impact of the second wave of the pandemic, Japan experiences summer all year round, so these chilled items are always kept in the refrigerator.
"According to the Dead Sea Scrolls, the next apostle is the Angel of Music, which requires two EVA units to fight in sync to defeat."
Yalin's words made Asuka stop taking small bites of ice cream, and she had a bad feeling.
"You two will need to train together in the coming days to fight against the apostles."
"No need, I can defeat this mere apostle on my own."
Asuka was quite resistant to the idea of teaming up with Rei Ayanami, so she immediately rejected it.
After defeating the Fish Angel, her confidence soared to unprecedented heights, and she no longer believed she could lose.
"Don't blame me if you end up with your head stuck in the ground and are made to look ridiculous in front of the whole world.
Volume 1: Chapter 106: Lilith's Soul and Instinct (4k)
"What a sorry sight! I thought the rumors were just gossip." Kaji entered the ward carrying a suitcase and smiled at the weakened Gendo Ikari.
The fact that it turned out this way due to an accident made him suspect that there might be something more to it.
Gendo Ikari ignored the teasing remark and focused his gaze on the briefcase, his previously depressed mood dissipating considerably.
If the Adam embryo were to be implanted with this progenitor of the apostles, it would not only gain the key to becoming a god, but would also evolve in the direction of an apostle.
Given the restorative abilities of the Adam-lineage apostles, what difficulty would it be for him to mend his incompleteness?
Although Gendo Ikari believed that Yui Ikari wouldn't care about his disability, if he had a choice, he would still want to return to being a normal man.
"This thing even attracted the apostles along the way. Luckily, I left quickly, otherwise it would have been troublesome." Kaji noticed Gendo Ikari's gaze and said jokingly.
"You're really obsessed with this thing, but the committee isn't very satisfied with your physical condition."
He specifically ordered that if you are truly unable to take charge, Yalin will be the one to implement the completion plan.
Gendo Ikari was already prepared for this and was not surprised.
It's not surprising that Seele issued a warning, but it was just a warning; the other party wouldn't resort to a mutually destructive approach unless absolutely necessary.
Moreover, they already had Adam's embryo, so the rest of the plan was no longer up to them.
For now, let Yalin have his moment in the spotlight. While Gendo Ikari recovers from his injuries, he also needs time to fuse the Adam embryo.
......
After being persuaded by Yalin, Asuka still stubbornly insisted on her own way, but in reality, she was terrified of the ending where she would be upside down by the Angel.
Her pride wouldn't allow her to be in such a humiliating situation.
Teaming up with Rei Ayanami is quite difficult to accept, so it can only be considered a last resort.
Therefore, Asuka intensified her training in the following period, preparing to face the music angel in the best possible condition.
Even though she was widely loved and admired by her peers at school, she didn't care at all.
Every morning, I throw away the love letters in the shoe cabinet as if they were trash.
All day long, I'm thinking about how to fight the music angels and how to show my heroic spirit.
No matter what the beautiful girl does, her thoughts are constantly being interpreted in different ways. Asuka's serious expression led her classmates to believe that she had experienced a heartbreaking separation in Germany.
Therefore, they did not give up and made progress wave after wave, like moths drawn to a flame.
This annoyed Asuka so much that she complained to Yalin, "Are all these people idiots? They said they didn't want to, but it's like they didn't understand."
There were even disgusting idiots who tried to take pictures of me without my knowledge, but they didn't succeed before I smashed their cameras.
This stalking and filming behavior constitutes an invasion of privacy. If it weren't for the fact that they were classmates, Asuka wouldn't have simply destroyed the camera; she would have gotten the other person arrested.
It's obvious she doesn't have a high opinion of these classmates. However, considering Rei Ayanami is there, the two can keep each other in check.
Asuka also had her own agenda, unwilling to completely expose her jealous and competitive side to Ayrin. It would be ideal if she could resolve Rei's problem privately.
Although the chances of success are extremely slim, we should still give it a try.
Yalin listened with a smile to Asuka's coquettishness, offering no comment on her actions.
Although the two did not get along and had friction with each other, they were also getting to know each other better in the process, which was better than being complete strangers and not caring about each other.
When the angel of music arrives, the apostle will always force the two to cooperate, and the understanding at this moment will play a significant role.
The subsequent invasions by the apostles will surely come one after another.
The fast pace and the pressure of being an apostle might just turn the two into comrades, thus fostering a harmonious relationship.
With the combat power of Unit-00 and Unit-02, they are more than capable of facing the upcoming Angels.
As for Unit-01, there's no need to force Shinji Ikari to fight.
After all, Gendo Ikari has already fallen and won't be making an appearance anytime soon. Right now, Yarin is in charge of NERV headquarters.
......
Time flies, and in the blink of an eye, the music angels arrive.
The members of NERV were not nervous about this Angel, and allowed two qualified pilots to appear in Unit-00 and Unit-01.
On the surface of the Third New Tokyo City, Asuka watched the Angel of Music with eager anticipation. Even though she knew from Ayrin that this Angel's situation was special, she had confidence in herself.
"I'll go first, you cover me," Asuka said to Rei Ayanami. Without waiting for a reply, Unit-02 grabbed the replica of the Spear of Longinus and leaped over.
Rei Ayanami remained calm, continuously firing her positron rifle at the Music Angel, dutifully providing cover.
Yalin had once said that she wanted to get along with Asuka, so she didn't care even though Asuka kept picking on her.
Not to mention on the battlefield, the two are teammates fighting side by side. If Asuka is confident, she will naturally support her.
After being bombarded with bullets, the Music Angel instantly deployed its AT field, focusing its attention on Unit-00.
Asuka didn't miss the opportunity and swung her spear down without hesitation.
The AT field, appearing like ripples, lasted only a moment before being breached, splitting the apostle in two from its center. The immense pressure turned the ground into ruins.
He then stepped back, staring intently at the music angel, poised to strike.
According to Yalin's intelligence, this apostle will soon split into two different individuals, and its regenerative ability is quite astonishing.
Only by simultaneously addressing and dismantling its dual cores can it be completely eradicated.
Asuka has been constantly training her reaction speed in order to achieve this goal in a very short time.
The Spear of Longinus pierced the core of one of the individual angels of music the instant it split apart.
The Yellow Music Angel's defenses were breached in an instant, its core shattering instantly.
This made Asuka's lips curl into a smile, and she prepared to keep up the good work.
However, upon seeing this, the other one immediately sped away in another direction, giving Asuka no chance for a double kill.
He is clearly also an expert in kite flying.
This froze the smile on her face, and she angrily retorted, "This is too despicable! If you're so capable, let's have a one-on-one fight!"
What happened to the apostles' lack of wisdom?
However, her indignation did not last long before she discovered that the yellow music angel, whose core had been shattered, was recovering from its injuries at an incredible speed, with even its broken core healing in an instant.
In just a few breaths, it recovered to its peak and pounced on Unit 2 again.
Even with the Spear of Longinus, Asuka could easily suppress her opponent, but it wasn't a long-term solution.
