The Collection of The End - Chapter 2010

【—2015.8.22—】

Third New Tokyo City, Katsuragi House.

“[Every audience, this is the final scene of the summer Koshien. The rivalry Mingqing Academy team and the Sumi Industrial team are fighting against each other. The score between the two sides is very tight!]”

“[The next star pitcher Kazuya Uesugi and star hitter Akio Nitta fight directly. If Uesugi can strike out Nitta, or Nitta hit a home run, the result of the game will be instantly clear. What will be the result?”

Hmm… I feel like everyone outside of the third new Tokyo city is living in peace, high school students will hold a baseball game in August or something.

Ikari Shinji sat cross-legged on the sofa, watching the baseball game broadcast on TV with the mentality of a layman.

However, because the host’s ability to incite the atmosphere is a bit strong, he is also a little curious about the result of the game.

What a strikeout, what a home run, to be dramatic, shouldn’t the batter get the ball after the home run and get blocked just before fourth base?

Drip-drip-

Ikari Shinji looked down at the phone, and took it to his ear to connect: “Hey—”

“[Ready to go!]” Asuka shouted over the phone.

“Huh?” Ikari Shinji looked at the clock on the wall: “It’s only four o’clock, and the summer festival stalls haven’t been set up yet, right?”

“[I just want to go early and go shopping in front of everyone,]” Asuka replied, “[The last Obon Festival wasn’t fun at all!]”

Who’s to blame? What are you doing following Kaji Ryoji and Katsuragi Misato?

state! “[Home run—!]”

On the TV, the batter hit a long lob that flew high, and the host also shouted in cooperation.

“[Are you still watching TV?]” Asuka obviously heard it, and her voice instantly increased an octave: “[Hurry up and gather! If you arrive, I haven’t arrived yet! Just wait! If I arrive, you haven’t arrived yet! Just wait!]”

“…?” Ikari Shinji looked at the call end notification on the phone in confusion: “What did she just say?”

“[Tatsuya Uesugi catcher hits a home run! He completes the lore just as Nitta is about to reach fourth base!]”

Well? Did you say it? I’m pretty good at being a prophet.

Shinji Ikari blinked, raised his hand to turn off the TV, turned his head and shouted to the back room: “Sister Misato? Asuka told me to go out. If I don’t have a suitable kimono, I can go in casual clothes.”

“Wait—right now—” Misato Katsuragi’s voice came muffled.

Out of respect for single women, Shinji Ikari seldom came to Katsuragi Misato’s house, but this time he came to ask her to help prepare clothes for the summer festival.

Although according to common sense, he should go to Ikarigendo to ask for it, but when he called him, he was rejected. After a while, Katsuragi Misato, who was next door, knocked on the door and asked him to choose a celebration costume for him.

Say he is a good father, he refuses to answer the phone, say no, he knows exactly why he is calling, tsk…

Whoops, the bathroom door was pulled open, and a penguin swayed out with a towel on its head.

“Hey, Penpen~” Ikari Shinji waved to greet Katsuragi’s pet.

Because the Antarctic was smashed by a meteorite, the penguins became a tropical species… outrageous.

“…” When the penguin named Kapian passed by Shinji Ikari, who was lying on the edge of the sofa, he tilted his head to look, his eyes suddenly flashed red, and he said, “[Don’t worry, Asuka hasn’t gone out yet.]”

Boom! Ikari Shinji fell directly from the sofa.

The penguin’s speech is not outrageous, but what is outrageous is that it is speaking in Ayanami’s voice.

Uh… think about it, it doesn’t seem so outrageous…

“Are you an apostle?” Ikari Shinji reached out and hugged the penguin and lifted it up.

“Gah?” The red light in the penguin’s eyes disappeared, revealing an innocent expression.

click.

“Here, try on your yukata,” Katsuragi Miri came out with a yukata in white and black as the main color: “I didn’t have a chance to give it to that bastard, I thought it would be a waste.”

“…” Everyone else blew themselves up, so don’t ask for details, Ikari Shinji put down the penguin, got up to take the yukata, and looked at Katsuragi Misato in a neat military uniform: “Uh, Sister Misato, do you still have a mission today?”

“I’m not as leisurely as you. Before the apostles came, all kinds of preparatory work had to be done,” Katsuragi Miri straightened her hair: “But this time, we may not have to wait for the apostles to attack us. .”

“We want to take the initiative to attack the apostles?” Ikari Shinji wondered.

“That guy Ritsuko is annoying, but he’s really good. This time he found an apostle who was hatching,” Katsuragi Miri replied, “We have to step up our investigation and determine the plan, whether to kill it in advance or capture it. It is biased towards capture, after all, we haven’t caught a living apostle yet.”

…Dad’s job of keeping secrets is really good.

However, Ayanami’s situation is a special case, and there will be no second “information integration thought body” to help the apostles maintain their human form. This capture operation has been determined to fail before the implementation.

“I’m going to the underground fortress first, you guys don’t play too late.”

“Well, be careful on the road.”

Third New Tokyo City, shopping street.

When the members of the literary club gathered at the appointed place, the air was quiet for a while.

Although the boys and girls are wearing well-fitting kimono yukata, but the color is…

Ikari Shinji, white with black, Asuka, red background with green decoration, Ayanami Rei, white background with blue decoration, Kirishima’s real name, white background with white decoration.

Four people have three sets of driving suits, which can be regarded as bumping shirts in a sense.

Of course, only Asuka and Ikari Shinji were embarrassed, Ayanami Rei didn’t respond, and Kirishima’s real name obviously didn’t know the reason for their big eyes.

“You two, can you be a little creative?!” Asuka preempted.

“Are you too embarrassed to talk about us?” Ikari Shinji retorted.

“This was chosen by Commander Ikari,” Ling Ling replied flatly.

“I like red myself! That’s why the No. 2 machine is red inside and out! I have no problem wearing red! Do you see the color of your clothes is the same as the mecha?” Asuka akimbo.

Damn, she was actually taken over by her…

“Ah, um, the festival is about to start, and it’s too late for everyone to change their clothes. That’s it, everyone will wear different clothes next time…” Kirishima’s real name persuaded weakly.

“Really, forget it, this genius driver doesn’t have the same knowledge as you guys, this time—”

Asuka was halfway through speaking, she suddenly widened her eyes and dragged Shinji Ikari and Rei Ayanami to the side of the road.

again? But didn’t Sister Miri work overtime?

Ikari Shinji looked in the direction Asuka pointed, and then saw Ryoji who was blessed in a red and black yukata and Ritsuko Akagi in a gold and blue yukata, one tall and handsome, the other a little bird.

Hiss… tsk.

Literary Society.

“Ayanami, can you sense the apostle embryo that NERV found? When will it mature and attack?”

“September 1st.”

“Hey? Tomorrow? No? The holidays are just over, can you delay the hatching?”

“It’s okay this time.”

“…this time?”

Gathering Garden, Swimming Pool.

Pasha!

“Hmm…” Ikari Shinji tilted his head to look, “The big red swimsuit doesn’t quite match Ayanami’s temperament.”
