Ultraman grunts? Call me Space Policeman outside!

"How could this be!"

"Then... what should we do..." Shinji looked at Rei Ayanami, who was still bleeding, clenched his fists, and his mind raced as he tried to think of a solution.

He is no longer the avoidant person he used to be; when faced with problems, he thinks about how to solve them.

Should she persuade her father not to let Lingbo continue participating in the battle?

Given his father's personality... he'll probably agree verbally, but he'll still let Lingbo participate in the battle later.

"I'll give it a try," Xia Shu said, scratching her head.

He now knows a bit about the organization's inner workings, and with his years of experience, he can tell that someone like Rei Ayanami, who has congenital emotional defects, is most likely a product of cloning technology.

This girl was probably created as a tool.

The current situation... seems to have already established basic emotions, and the key to igniting those emotions is Shinji.

Even if it is a cloned product, as long as it has emotions, it is a human being.

"Mr. Natsuki, do you have a way?" Shinji looked up at Natsuki beside him, his tone pleading, "Please, please help Rei!"

"Silly boy, I'm not the kind of person who would just stand by and watch someone die." Natsuki said with a smile, rubbing Shinji's head as he listened to Shinji's plea.

He would have saved Shinji even if it wasn't Shinji's request.

If such a girl suffers serious injuries and becomes a burden, she will likely be discarded and other clones will be activated instead.

“Although my current level of healing is practically non-existent, it’s not impossible to try if it’s just to save one human being,” Natsuki said, taking control of Shinji’s body.

Shinji closed his eyes, and when he opened them again, they were now tinged with a golden light.

"I...I'm fine..." Rei Ayanami seemed unwilling to burden Shinji with too much trouble, and spoke in a soft voice.

"It doesn't matter."

“Regrets from childhood can trap a person for life.” Natsuki, who has extensive experience in raising children, said, placing her hand on Rei Ayanami’s open wound.

If Shinji were to experience the feeling of his loved one dying in front of him, he probably would never be able to get over it.

However, the situation Shinji is likely to encounter next is not so simple. It is highly probable that the injured Rei Ayanami will be abandoned, and then an identical clone will appear in front of Shinji, with no memory of Shinji whatsoever.

That situation was too cruel for both the boy and the girl.

"What...are you going to do?" Rei Ayanami asked, looking at Shinji as he placed his hand on his injured abdomen and felt a warmth through his combat suit.

"It provides energy for your cells' metabolism, accelerates the hematopoietic function of organs, and speeds up cell division and repair... That's roughly the principle."

“You can also think of it as healing you,” Xia Shu said, focusing intently on controlling her energy.

If I were younger, treating someone's injuries wouldn't be so complicated. With the few skills I learned from the Silver Cross of the Land of Light, I could heal her in a second.

Under Natsuki's intervention, Rei Ayanami's abdominal bleeding was quickly stopped, and the wound gradually healed.

This miraculous scene left Rei Ayanami somewhat stunned.

Ikari-kun... he actually possesses such power?

"Great, the bleeding has stopped!" Shinji Ikari said with a sigh of relief and a smile.

The blood had stopped seeping from under Rei Ayanami's white combat suit, and her face was no longer pale, but had returned to a fair complexion with a hint of color.

"The wound... has healed." Rei Ayanami felt the pain in her body being replaced by warmth, and looked incredulously at Shinji Ikari, whose eyes had lost their golden light.

A miracle happened right before her eyes.

"Why?" she asked blankly.

Shinji also came to his senses, and seeing the confusion in her eyes, he didn't know how to answer for a moment.

"This... is a secret." He really didn't know how to explain his current state for a moment.

For a human being to be one with an alien giant... has absolutely nothing to do with science.

"Ikari's secret..." Rei Ayanami understood that Shinji didn't want to talk about this topic for the time being, so she nodded. "I understand. I will keep this secret for Ikari."

Upon hearing this promise, Shinji smiled and helped Rei Ayanami up from the ground.

"Thank you... What should I say next?" Rei Ayanami asked.

She didn't know how to respond to people's thanks.

"After thank you... it should be 'You're welcome'..." Shinji turned to look at Rei Ayanami's delicate face. He wanted to say that he should reply with "You're welcome" at this moment, but when the words were on the tip of his tongue, he felt that there was a better answer.

“No, in times like these, just smiling is enough,” he said.

Under the moonlight on the grass, the blue-haired girl in the white combat suit nodded silently after hearing this. She tilted her head slightly, looked at the boy who had just saved her, and a beautiful smile appeared on her lips.

Shinji Ikari stared blankly.

The blush of young boys and girls speaks louder than a thousand sweet words.

......

This battle against the Fifth Apostle, the Thunder Angel, ended in victory.

NERV lost a number of defensive structures, and the map needed to be redrawn due to the impact of the battle on the terrain, but these were minor issues.

Gendo Ikari has ways of getting funding.

Meanwhile, on the other side of the world, in Germany, in the afternoon.

NERV Third Branch, German Branch.

"This is truly astonishing. The mysterious giant has once again helped us eliminate the Apostles." The man, wearing a blue shirt and with his long hair tied back, lay on the rooftop outside the base, enjoying the sea breeze and watching the sun slowly set.

Kaji Ryoji, 31 years old

He had just received a message from NERV's Japanese headquarters, and he hadn't expected such a bizarre situation to occur there.

"Mr. Kachi!"

Suddenly, a girl's shout came on the wind, and Kaji Ryoji raised an eyebrow upon hearing it.

Can they really be found even if they run all the way here?

"Ah, found it!"

"Mr. Kaji!" The girl waved and called out when she saw Kaji Ryoji lying in a hidden corner.

Her long orange hair was styled into pigtails that cascaded down her back. She wore a beige dress and red leather shoes. Her face combined European features with Eastern delicacy, making her look like a princess.

Soryu Asuka Langley, 14 years old, pilot of EVA Unit-02

"Have you packed your bags yet, Asuka?" Kaji Ryoji rubbed his head as he sat up from the ground, turned around to look at Asuka running towards him, and asked with a gentle smile.

"All packed up~"

“Apart from my personal belongings, everything else has been sent to NERV headquarters,” Asuka replied, then asked, “We’ll arrive in Japan tomorrow with Unit-02, right?”

EVA Unit-02 was a machine created purely for combat purposes and was assembled at NERV's Third German branch.

Soryu Asuka Langley Soryu was the exclusive pilot of EVA Unit-02 and the Second Child, a pilot selected early on.

Rei Ayanami is the first Child, Asuka Langley Soryu is the second Child, and Shinji Ikari is the third Child.

"That's right. You'll be piloting Unit 2 to fight the Angels in Tokyo-3 after that."

"How about it, are you scared?" Kaji Ryoji said with a smile.

He is a member of the NERV organization's special inspection department and also Asuka's guardian in Germany. He has a dashing and charming demeanor.

"How could that be?" Asuka tossed her long orange hair behind her head and said confidently, "Unit-02 is the strongest; it can defeat any Angel, no matter what kind!"

The girl was very proud of her abilities.

But then he suddenly changed the subject.

"Of course~ even someone as powerful as me feels fear." Asuka leaned closer to Kaji Ryoji, her tone playful. "That's when Mr. Kaji needs to transform into a prince charming and rescue me~"

Upon hearing this, Kaji Ryoji immediately felt a sharp pain in his head.

During his time as guardian, the child had developed some dependence on him, but the 31-year-old man truly had no interest in children.

Just think of it as coaxing a child.

"Really? That's good, as long as you're confident," Kaji Ryoji said with a smile.

"However, the pilots at headquarters are also very excellent. The third child piloted Unit-01, which single-handedly destroyed the fourth Angel."

"Just now, we joined forces with Unit-00 to eliminate the Fifth Angel."

Although they were in Germany, news within NERV was shared. After hearing a series of news related to Unit-01, Kaji Ryoji also became curious about Shinji Ikari.

Of course, he was unaware of the abnormality in Shinji Ikari.

"But the report from headquarters clearly states that the mysterious giant destroyed the Fifth Angel." Asuka felt a slight resentment when she heard Kaji Ryoji praise the other pilots.

"Only one apostle was truly destroyed by them."

"Even though we're leading 1-0, I'll be able to overtake them soon once I get there," Asuka said, hands on her hips, puffing out her cheeks.

Kaji Ryoji smiled helplessly when he saw the expression on her face.

“Okay, okay… I believe Asuka will definitely shine,” he said.

This kid is a qualified driver, but he lacks care and attention.

"Although it sounds perfunctory, I'll forgive it since it's Mr. Kaji." Asuka's expression changed faster than flipping through a book, and she laughed again.

Then, she turned her gaze to the sea and said confidently to the setting sun, "Wait for me, Third New Tokyo City, I will definitely wipe out all the Apostles."

Chapter 109 The Past That People Don't Want to Mention

It's evening in Germany, but it's still late at night in Japan.
