Gathering Garden, Literary Club.

After about a month of recuperation, Shinji Ikari returned to school. Asuka had to be hospitalized for recuperation due to a severe overdraft. Kirishima's real name was fine, but because he expressed his feelings too clearly that day, I heard that he was coming today.

After going to school, she skipped club activities because she was too shy and couldn't adjust her mentality. As for "Makiha", she didn't join the literary club at all.

Therefore, there are only two people in the club classroom today: Shinji Ikari and Rei Ayanami.

The girl with blue hair and red eyes sat by the window and read quietly. This almost unchanged scene gave people an inexplicable sense of peace of mind, Shinji Ikari thought while drinking the tea he poured.

To be honest, it is obvious that we have arrived at a world line that we have never seen before, but the surrounding environment looks almost the same as before.

This is mainly because the "Third Impact" occurred in a "closed space" and had minimal impact on the outside world, and there is no way to verify that "Eve" can no longer start the "Planet Life Reshaping Program".

At the same time, the halo-shaped Sixteenth Apostle only appeared in the outside world for a moment, leaving almost no image data. It was passed around as a weird story like a UFO for a while, and then the heat passed.

And the EVA mass-produced machines that replaced it were numbered in groups of twelve. Because their appearance was so similar to that of the Sixth Apostle—looking like fish with arms and legs—no one suspected it.

Ordinary people would just sigh, well, NERV defeated the apostle again.

Shinji Ikari didn't know how Dilian and NERV were arguing. The other party's point of view seemed to be:

The purpose of manufacturing those mass-produced EVAs was just to avoid putting eggs in one basket. It was a backup plan to deal with the possibility that NERV would be defeated by the Apostles. It had no intention of attacking NERV and replacing it.

In addition, they labeled the captured Kensuke Aida as a "super agent" who could control the mind and was trained in the Assemblage Garden, and accused him of sneaking into the military headquarters to plot evil.

Naturally, the NERV side will not admit it: it is simply ridiculous. The so-called evil plot is to control the EVA mass production machine to attack its own base camp, right? If you did not arrange an attack plan in advance and a channel that can quickly reach the third New Tokyo City, how could you be arrested?

Can an attack be successfully launched by affecting just a few people?

In terms of the overall negotiation situation, since the Earth Federation was indeed in the wrong and Yui Ikari was stirring up trouble internally, the NERV side was in a very dominant position. In the end, it seemed that a lot of contracts were signed at an advantage by the Earth Federation Military Headquarters. However, this was not the case.

What he can know as a driver.

As for the Ground Alliance military side, it seems that out of a desire to die rather than suffer, they detained Kensuke Aida and refused to allow him to leave. They also completed the transfer procedures. Needless to say, those people must have taken a fancy to him. "It's okay."

The ability to "disappear from others' sight" is prepared to be cultivated into an agent.

As for Suzuhara Touji, who lost one friend... he was actually the first one in the "Idiot Trio" to be single. During the time when Shinji Ikari was hospitalized and Kensuke Aida was detained, he somehow got into trouble with the squad leader.

Mu Guang got together and went to the rooftop to eat lunch together every day to show their affection.

If Shinji Ikari had to guess, the little girl Sakura Suzuhara definitely played a huge role in promoting this relationship.

I don’t know if there is anything to promote myself... Shinji Ikari glanced at Rei Ayanami by the window again.

Not only is it not promoted, it is even hindered.

Although he was alone with the girl he liked, he was not very excited. The main reason was that there was a third person.

Due to Ayanami Rei's special identity, it is almost impossible to get rid of this information-integrated thought body. Moreover, because it can talk, it cannot be treated as a kitten or puppy. The most troublesome thing is that Ayanami seems to trust it very much.

, sometimes if you find it interesting and can retell it directly, it will be very embarrassing.

"Um, Ayanami?" However, no matter what, he could not waste the rare time alone. Shinji Ikari thought hard and finally found the topic: "If you have kept your memory, shouldn't you have read all these books?

"

"Some are," Rei Ayanami replied, "Some will have new content."

"Huh?" Shinji Ikari expressed difficulty in understanding.

"Classic masterpieces basically remain unchanged. The ones that will change are modern works, such as this "Detective Conan"." Rei Ayanami showed the cover of the book in his hand: "Perhaps it is because of the time in its story.

It has never been pushed forward. Every time a 'triple conflict' occurs, there will be some new content."

"That's really amazing. Can its author also retain his memory?" Shinji Ikari asked.

"Not only can't it be done, but it's also forgetful." Ayanami Rei's tone showed a rare hint of dissatisfaction, and his red eyes revealed a bit of murderous intent: "Even if the character's facial makeup, tool person, and background are transformed because of the long length,

You can’t change the basic settings.”

"Compared to, for example?" Shinji Ikari swallowed.

"For example, the childhood sweethearts Hattori Heiji and Toyama Kazuha, who refused to let go even if the back of their hands were stabbed with a knife after falling off a cliff, were actually stabbed by passers-by who came out of nowhere. The most disgusting thing is

Isn't this just a tool to promote the relationship between the two, Hattori Heiji is actually really moved." Rei Ayanami tapped the ridge of the book with her fingers and glanced at Shinji Ikari: "This is the extra content of this reincarnation. I was originally there.

I’m thinking about throwing an apostle at the author’s house next time I reincarnate, but I can only give up now.”

Sending a razor blade can no longer express the anger of readers, can it? The unknown author, please take care of yourself.

By the way, she should...not be talking about me...

Do you think so?

If you object, you cannot use the sword of the previous dynasty to kill the officials of this dynasty!

You are not that good either. If Asuka or Kirishima take the initiative to confess to you, can you reject them immediately?

That's impossible...

Ha, man.

It sounds like you are not the same!

Huh? Wait, now there is a new question. If there is an information-integrated thought body causing trouble on Ayanami's side, how should we deal with these messy split personalities on our side? Out of respect for Ayanami, I have to do it before formally confessing.

Find a psychiatrist and get rid of all these guys?

…

…

There's no point in pretending to be dead!

Shinji Ikari had no time to care about the chaos in his mind hall for the time being, because Rei Ayanami asked an extremely sharp and fatal question, and he had to change the topic if he didn't intend to answer it directly.

"Uh, throwing apostles at the author's house?" Shinji Ikari tried hard to change the subject: "Can things like apostles be controlled? Except for Nagisa Kaoru."

Ayanami Rei blinked and turned back the slightly dissatisfied expression he had just shown: "No."

"That is?" Shinji Ikari wiped his sweat in his heart. It was obvious that Ayanami saw his intention to change the subject, but he did not intend to delve into it for the time being.

"If you're well prepared, you can influence where they appear to some extent."

Rei Ayanami stood up, rummaged through the large bookcase on the side, pulled out a thick notebook with a black cover and handed it to Shinji Ikari.

"Uh... what is this?" Shinji Ikari took the book and tried to identify the cursive characters on it: "DEATH..."

"[Dead Sea Documents.]"

"!"

Shinji Ikari's hand shook and he almost threw it away.

According to NERV, this is a "prophetic book" that came at the same time as "Adam" and foretells the fate of mankind's destruction. But in fact, it was casually stuffed in a bookcase by "Eve", which doesn't seem to be the case.

important.

Is this something I can watch?

"You can see it, because it has already happened." Rei Ayanami, who had returned to the window, replied.

"..." Shinji Ikari looked up at her.

Did you say that since this is the first world line you enter, you can’t read minds?

"Because you have doubts written on your face."

Fine……

After all, the guy with the Information Integration Thought Body is here, so it’s easy to read expressions.

Shinji Ikari lowered his head and opened the notebook in his hand.

He originally expected to see some vague prophecies written in it, expressed in grammar and vocabulary that were difficult for ordinary people to understand, leaving everyone confused.

But in fact, the content in the notebook is very simple and easy to understand, and looks like a primary school student's journal:
