Ultraman grunts? Call me Space Policeman outside!

"That depends on whether his feelings for his wife are really that deep."

"After we revive Yui Ikari tomorrow, everything will be much easier," Natsuki said as she walked.

Shinji felt a surge of emotions upon hearing these words.

"Tomorrow... will I be able to see my mother?" Shinji asked in disbelief.

His mother died when he was three years old, and he doesn't even remember what she looks like.

My intuition told me that my mother must be a very gentle person.

"Yes, I can," Xia Shu promised him with a smile.

"That's...great!" Shinji said, his heart filled with anticipation.

This period of his life felt like a dream to him.

My life, which was originally gray and drab, has now been enriched with color.

......

By the time I got back to the apartment, it was already evening.

Shinji stared curiously at the pile of cardboard boxes at the apartment entrance, then took out his keys to open the door.

At the same time, I wondered to myself, could it be that Miss Misato ordered the package?

As soon as the door opened, a sharp voice rang out: "What do you mean all you have here is beer and frozen food?!"

"NERV's operations director can't cook?!"

Then came a rather guilty voice.

"Well... Shinji hasn't returned yet, so let's make do for now, ha... hahaha..."

Upon hearing the door open, Misato Katsuragi, who had been feeling guilty, seemed to have found a savior.

He rushed to the door without even putting on his slippers, looked at Shinji Ikari, and said with a sigh of relief, "Shinji! You're finally back!"

"Dinner, please!" she said earnestly, pressing her palms together and bowing.

Although she is nearly thirty years old, her personality is almost like that of a child.

"Huh? So you live here too?" Asuka came over when she heard the voice, poked her head out, and said with some surprise when she saw that it was Shinji.

"That's the question I should be asking," Shinji said, his lips twitching as he looked at the two figures, one large and one small, in front of him.

Chapter 125 New Training

"Shinji was the first pilot to stay here with me."

“And Asuka will be living here from now on.” Misato Katsuragi explained as she and Asuka sat in chairs in the living room, watching Shinji cook.

EVA's drivers are all problem children, so it's easier to take care of them if I keep them by my side.

Of course... it's hard to say exactly who takes care of whom.

"Am I going to live with this idiot forever?" Asuka watched Shinji's retreating figure, her expression shifting.

Suddenly, the tip of his nose twitched.

I smelled a fragrance.

This guy... he's definitely got some skills when it comes to cooking.

"It seems... not entirely impossible." She crossed her arms and looked at the dishes Shinji had brought out, feeling less resistant to the idea of ​​living together.

Listening to their conversation.

Shinji picked up a towel and wiped his hands, saying with a helpless expression, "Why didn't anyone ask for my opinion?"

The two of them made a decision without even talking to each other, even though they were also members of the family.

"You...didn't you promise to cook for me?"

"Isn't this perfect?" Asuka stood up, pointing at Shinji with a smug look on her face.

Shinji paused for two seconds: "Wandering."

"What's wrong with you? You look so unwilling."

"Living with a beautiful woman is a great honor, isn't it?" Asuka said, hands on her hips, seeing that Shinji's expression hadn't changed.

Asuka is extremely confident in her looks.

Hmph, this guy got off easy.

"Ahem... Anyway, welcome." Shinji looked her up and down for a while, only then realizing that this kind of life was something he had never dared to dream of before. This girl, as delicate as a princess, was indeed very beautiful.

However, Shinji, who is determined to change the world and protect the dreams of others, believes that everything else can be put on hold for now.

"That's more like it."

"Well... I'll start eating!" Seeing Shinji's shy expression, Asuka smiled triumphantly, sat down again, and awkwardly picked up her chopsticks, mimicking Misato Katsuragi's words.

......

The three-bedroom apartment originally consisted of a master bedroom, a secondary bedroom, and a storage room.

After Asuka moved in, Shinji and Asuka had a small argument about who would sleep in the second bedroom and who would sleep in the storage room, which was eventually resolved by voting.

The two-to-one vote in favor moved Misato Katsuragi, who originally slept in the master bedroom, to the storage room, while Shinji's room remained untouched.

Misato Katsuragi protested, but her protest was ineffective.

"Miss Misato, you didn't ask me anything more about Mr. Natsuki." Shinji lay in bed, recalling their conversation that evening, and was slightly surprised that Misato Katsuragi hadn't asked him much.

I was quite interested in the secrets about myself before.

"I guess your father said something to her."

“For her, knowing that you are safe and sound, and that we can continue to fight the Apostles together, is probably enough,” Xia Shu said, sitting in a chair in the room and looking at him.

“I see…Miss Misato is indeed a good person.” Shinji said, recalling his experiences after arriving in Tokyo-3.

"It's getting late, I need to contact Hikari ahead of time."

"Shinji, I'll borrow your body for a bit." Natsuki said, and his illusory figure floated back into Shinji's body, taking over Shinji's body.

I sat up in bed, raised my right hand, and looked at the bracelet on my right wrist.

"Mr. Hikari, is that the... blue giant I saw in my dream before?" Shinji asked curiously.

“The number one scientist in the universe.” Xia Shu said, injecting a piece of energy with a special frequency into the crystal in the center of the bracelet.

Hikari told him the correct way to contact him last time.

This time, I won't use the eight-point light wheel as a doorbell.

Soon, Hikari received the signal, and a burst of golden light flew out from the bracelet, converging to form Hikari's image.

"Oh! It's happening!" Shinji exclaimed in Natsuki's mind as he watched this miraculous scene unfold.

"Yo, Hikari." Natsuki greeted Hikari.

It's been a while since we last contacted the Land of Light.

"What is this...?" Hikari stared at the "Shinji" in front of him for a moment, stunned.

Why has Natsuki turned into a child again after all this time?

“Something unexpected happened.” Natsuki noticed Hikari’s confusion and explained, “For some reason, I became one with this brave boy.”

"I see." Hikari nodded after hearing this.

A life form of light from an advanced civilization merges with an ordinary human being.

This is nothing new in the Land of Light.

After all, the Ultra Brothers basically did it all.

“What is the purpose of your contact with me this time?” Hikari asked.

He knew that Natsuki usually wouldn't contact him unless she was free.

"The situation is roughly like this: I need you to help me revive a human using life solidification technology..." Natsuki told Hikari about what had happened since he came to this world, including his conversation with Gendo Ikari today.

Given Natsuki's current skill level, reviving Yui Ikari using solidified life force would be quite difficult; it would require precise manipulation.

Having Hikari perform this operation remotely for him is clearly the safest option.

"As a reward, I got this for you." With that, Natsuki pulled out a briefcase from under the bed.

Hikari's eyes lit up when he saw the Adam embryo inside.

This is truly a rare and unusual item.

“This life form is indeed very unique.” As a scientist, Hikari was immediately inspired to conduct scientific research.

He considered that thing called the AT position to be of great research value.

“Thank you, this item deserves a spot in the Space Science and Technology Bureau’s collection room,” Hikari said to Natsuki.

"Don't mention it."

"Just don't forget to help me resurrect this child's mother tomorrow," Natsuki said.

“This is very simple,” Hikari said, then suddenly remembered something.

"By the way, the bracelet's quest system is no longer of any use to you, so I'm going to change the mandatory system into one that you can choose yourself."

"Skip the task step and go directly to the training section."

The previous mandatory tasks were a necessary measure taken because Natsuki might treat the tasks as a vacation.

But now they all realize the importance of this mission, so there's no need for that anymore.

He believed that Natsuki would try her best to regain her strength, after all, the threat from the Absolut clan had not disappeared.

As the saying goes, every Ultra Warrior can grow on Earth. Seeing Natsuki choose to become one with the boy, Hikari knows that he is also finding his former self.

"No need for that stupid choice-making task?"
