People who are interested in comics will never die in the Shura field

A moment later, Asuka came out of the bathroom wrapped in a bath towel.

"I'm so tired! All the energy I built up last night is used up so quickly! I just want to die!" Asuka complained to the sun.

Chapter 505: Hello, my name is Mari Makinami

On the way to school, everything went exactly as Asuka had predicted. Yamabuki Hanajin got a 100% head-turning rate. Not only men, but even women couldn't help but turn around to look at this girl's incredibly voluptuous figure.

"Humans are such shallow creatures. I've said it so many times, this is a fire storage bag! It's a fire storage bag, not a chest at all. Believe me or not, I'll perform a fire-breathing act right here in the street!" Yamabuki Hanajin couldn't help but complain.

Asuka quickly covered her mouth; if someone heard what she was saying, it would be even more inexplicable.

Rei Ayanami asked curiously, "Could I examine this fire storage bag? I'd like to have one too."

"Can you two just behave yourselves? I'm almost at my limit." Asuka stared at the two people in front of her.

Upon arriving at school, her pair of plump fire-storing bags immediately caught the eyes of all the boys.

Asuka has already attained enlightenment, so she had long anticipated this kind of scene.

But the most outrageous thing is that some guys actually came up to chat them up.

"Asuka-san, may I ask who this girl is to you? Could you introduce her to me?" The boy, his face flushed, didn't dare to look Yamabuki Hanajin in the eye.

Asuka pulled out an iron rod from somewhere: "Get lost if you don't want to die."

The boy ran away crying.

My first attempt at striking up a conversation failed completely.

However, all the other guys regarded this guy as a hero. You actually dared to go and chat him up in this situation. You're too brave, bro.

It's obvious she's not an ordinary girl.

"By the way, where are your hands and tail?" Asuka suddenly remembered that Yamabuki Hanajin's hands and tail were not human-like at all. But when she looked back, she found that Yamabuki Hanajin's hands had become ordinary human hands, and they were chubby and cute. His tail had also been hidden away.

As soon as she entered the classroom, the class monitor walked over with a troubled look and asked, "Asuka, who is this girl?"

The class monitor is also a very cute-looking girl.

“It’s alright, let her stay here! I’m worried about her leaving my sight,” Asuka said.

As for the reason, you'll know once you look at the boys who have gathered around.

The class monitor slammed his fist on the desk: "Everyone, get back to your seats. Do you hear me?"

However, boys at this age are naturally very mischievous, and it's impossible for a class monitor to keep a girl in check.

Just then, the homeroom teacher came in again.

This is an elderly gentleman in his fifties who almost suffered a stroke after seeing the Yamabuki Hanajin.

I've never seen such an outrageous person in all my years.

Biology no longer exists.

However, in the end, the homeroom teacher still let Yamabuki Hanajin sit in the last row of the class, so Yamabuki Hanajin simply lay down on the desk and fell asleep.

Just as the first class was about to end, Asuka and Rei's phones suddenly rang. It was Misato Katsuragi calling to say that there was something very important and that they needed to return to headquarters during lunch break.

"Seriously, what's going on? Could it be that a new Apostle has been discovered?" Asuka thought to herself.

The number of Angels is dwindling. If we could eliminate all the Angels, everyone could return to a peaceful life. Every EVA pilot dreams of returning to a peaceful life.

Time seems to fly by, and before I knew it, it was time for my lunch break.

Yamabuki Hanajin was fast asleep, lying on the table, when he felt someone gently tugging at his arm. He couldn't help but look up and found Asuka staring at him.

"get out of class is over? Or is it lunchtime?" Yamabuki Hanajin asked with a face full of curiosity.

"It's lunch break time. If we get orders to go back, would you like to come with us?" Asuka asked.

"Having lunch at NERV headquarters sounds like a good idea," Yamabuki Hanajin thought, recalling the beef stew with potatoes she had last time.

I didn't get to eat any until the very last moment.

And so, the three girls arrived at NERV headquarters in a private car.

The two of them initially thought something serious had happened, but when they returned, they found the office completely empty. Checking the time, they realized lunchtime had started just ten minutes earlier.

In other words, these people all went to work.

Indeed, for ordinary people, cooking rice is the most important thing.

"Since everyone has gone to eat, let's go eat too." Asuka led Yamabuki Hanajin directly to the restaurant, which had been damaged earlier but had been repaired.

Today's lunch was also very plentiful.

"Do you spend most of your budget on food?" Yamabuki Hanajin asked curiously.

"Maybe!" Asuka actually wanted to retort as well.

Just then, Misato Katsuragi sat down with her own plate.

"You three are here? Perfect timing, let me introduce you to someone." Misato Katsuragi greeted a bespectacled woman in the distance.

This is a very cute woman, sunny and cheerful.

When Yamabuki Hanajin saw this person's face, the person opposite her seemed somewhat surprised.

"Hello everyone, my name is Mari Makinami Illustrious. I am a pilot of EVA, currently piloting Unit-03."

The other party's self-introduction surprised everyone present. How did an extra qualified candidate suddenly appear out of nowhere?

“I may look young, but I’m actually a bit older than all of you.” Mari smiled and ruffled Rei Ayanami’s hair, her eyes quite deep. “From today onwards, we’re teammates fighting side by side. Please take care of me.”

Mari extended her hand to Rei Ayanami and Asuka respectively.

The two girls, somewhat bewildered, extended their hands and shook hands with Mari.

Yamabuki Hanakami couldn't quite figure out the other person's age.

According to the established setting, Mari should be one or two years younger than Yui Ikari, which means she is a whole generation older than Shinji Ikari.

There are interactions between Mari and Yui Ikari in both the manga and anime, and Mari's twin tails were even designed by Yui Ikari.

But in the finale of the new theatrical version, it seems that Mari is dating her senior's son...

That is, Shinji Ikari.

This is intriguing.

Did Mari Makinami fail to win over Yui Ikari back then, and now she's pursuing Yui's son? Isn't this plot a bit too explosive?

Moreover, Mari Makinami doesn't look old at all.

Asuka's explanation is "the curse of EVA," which states that anyone who has piloted an EVA will experience some kind of change in their body, the most obvious manifestation of which is that their body will not age.

Could it be that Mari Makinami piloted an EVA at some point in the past? There is no other explanation besides this one.

At that moment, Mari suddenly leaned closer and stared at Yamabuki Hanajin: "Is this little girl the one mentioned in the report? A god? Or something else? Anyway, she scared those old men in the higher-ups half to death. Want to get to know her?"

Chapter 506: You Can't Imagine the Benefits of Having an Aunt

Yamabuki Hanajin reached out and shook hands with Mari. When Mari saw Yamabuki Hanajin's chest, she was instantly stunned.

Mari raised her hand shakily: "May I ask why this place is so big? Has it mutated? Or are all gods like this?"

"I've explained this so many times today, this isn't a chest, it's a fire storage pouch," Yamabuki Hanajin couldn't help but repeat over and over again.

Even so, Mari couldn't help but compare herself to herself.

The difference between the two is like being bitten by a mosquito and being on the Himalayas.

The two sides are not evenly matched in terms of combat strength.

"What does 'fire storage bag' mean? Is it a code word among young people these days?" Mari couldn't help but ask.

Misato Katsuragi had become accustomed to Yamabuki Hanajin's unreliability.

"Don't worry about her. Even if she turns into a slime tomorrow, it's not a big deal." Misato Katsuragi was more concerned about Mari's identity.

This person was from the same era as Gendo Ikari, so why would he suddenly appear under my command? What's wrong with his thinking?

Mari Makinami saw right through Misato Katsuragi's thoughts.

"My presence here is really nothing special; it's just a power game among those old men. Humans are humans after all, and the rifts will never change. I thought that with all those old men dead, these newcomers would bring about some changes, but it seems... haha, I was overthinking it." Mari couldn't help but mock the old men in the higher-ups.

You should know that the people of this world are best at courting death.

And they also engage in all sorts of crazy and self-destructive acts.

The original Seele was wiped out in one fell swoop by Yamabuki Hanajin turning into Shin-chan. Although the new group abandoned the Human Completion Project, they began to worship the new god, hoping to communicate with the gods in their mortal bodies.

Yamabuki Hanajin inexplicably became the god worshipped by these people, but of course, this didn't matter to Yamabuki Hanajin.

I've played all sorts of gods.

"They sent me here mainly to keep you in check. Now you have three EVAs in your hands. If these EVAs were to rebel, the consequences would be unimaginable." Mari Makinami said these chilling words with a nonchalant air.

It's important to understand that ordinary armed forces are on a completely different level compared to EVA. Once they learn to use the AT field, they can become virtually immune to all physical damage from humans.

Most importantly, EVA has now been converted to nuclear power, greatly improving its endurance. Unit-01 and Unit-02 even have the S2 engine, which can store energy indefinitely when necessary.

It is no exaggeration to say that the combat power of a single EVA is greater than the total military strength of a small country.

These old men simply couldn't trust such exaggerated power in the hands of Misato Katsuragi alone.

However, it turns out that their judgment of people was extremely poor.

“How could I possibly control you? I came here to have fun. It seems that this request isn’t difficult to fulfill,” Mari said with a smile.

From the perspective of those in higher-ups, Mari Makinami and Yui Ikari were senior and junior classmates, and the two had a very good relationship.

Gendo Ikari and Yui Ikari are husband and wife, and he should have a good relationship with Mari Makinami as well.

In this way, Mari Makinami might be able to form a separate party, thereby dividing the power held by Misato Katsuragi.

Their plans were shrewd and ambitious, but they forgot that the most difficult thing to control in this world is the human heart.

There is a thick wall of the heart separating people.

It's impossible for one person to understand what another is thinking; one can only make a rough guess.

Therefore, their plan was doomed to fail.

Besides, what do true power players talk about strategy? I'll just slap you across the face. Do you submit? If not, keep hitting me until you submit.

This is Yamabuki Hanajin's principle of conduct.

"By the way, how is that child doing now?" Mari asked, changing the subject to inquire about Shinji Ikari.

This is also the most troublesome problem for Misato Katsuragi right now.

“Shinji… his temper became very volatile for a while, and he even hurt people. To calm him down, I gave him a month-long leave to go out and have some fun. He hasn’t contacted me for half a month now, and I don’t know how he’s doing out there.” Misato Katsuragi said with a bitter expression.

She originally intended to treat Shinji Ikari as her son.

Unfortunately, Misato Katsuragi doesn't seem to have the talent to be a mother; she almost turned a perfectly healthy child into an autistic person.

In fact, Misato Katsuragi did treat Shinji Ikari with a mindset of using him at first, but as time went on, she inevitably developed feelings for him.

This feeling is hard to explain; Misato Katsuragi leans more towards familial affection.

By putting herself in Shinji's shoes, she gradually came to understand his difficulties.

It has to be said that it's quite remarkable that Shinji Ikari has managed to stay mentally intact until now.

If it were someone else with a more fragile mental state, they might have gone crazy at this point.

The same question can elicit completely different opinions from a fourteen-year-old and a thirty-year-old adult.

For example, exam scores.

For a fourteen-year-old student, failing an exam is probably a huge deal.

But for a thirty-year-old adult, final exams? Forget about it.

Between the ages of fourteen and thirty, one experiences many things in life, gradually matures, and slowly finds one's direction in life.

Therefore, in the original timeline, apart from Rei Ayanami who has no emotions, Asuka and Shinji Ikari took turns breaking down.

You collapse, then I collapse, then you collapse again.

However, in this new theatrical version, fourteen years later, the twenty-eight-year-old Asuka shows a maturity completely different from that of fourteen years ago. She can firmly face any problem, calmly analyze any situation, and provide the most perfect solution.
