Chapter 161: You call yourself a fetal angel?

Asuka finally got a chance to breathe a sigh of relief.

"Yamabuki!"

Asuka looked at the giant dragon in front of her, her eyes shining.

"It's me, you go up first. Leave this to me," Yamabuki Hanajin said to Asuka through telepathy.

The high-temperature protection material has been damaged, and if Unit 2 continues to remain under the magma, it may suffer further damage.

"Can you handle it by yourself?" Asuka asked with great concern.

"No problem." Yamabuki Hanajin said confidently.

After several encounters with the apostles, she had gained a basic understanding of their abilities. Although these apostles were very strong, they were still no match for the creatures in mythology.

The fetal angel was hit by a dragon's breath, but the injury didn't seem serious, and it had already swum back from the volcanic crater abyss.

Asuka piloted Unit 2 upwards, and the Angel, like a giant squid, charged towards Unit 2.

Instantly, many magic circles appeared around Yamabuki Hanajin, and all sorts of magical raindrops rained down upon her.

The dragons in the world of Dragon Maid are not only physically strong, but also possess incredibly powerful magic.

Thor is an outstanding figure among the younger generation.

The fetal angel was bombarded with all sorts of magic and was treated like a grandson, only able to stay far away.

"Is this the power of magic? It's incredible!" Ritsuko Akagi's eyes lit up.

This force, which was completely contrary to science, caught the attention of the female scientist.

"I advise you not to make a move on her. After all, we don't know what she's thinking. If she gets angry, she could destroy the entire world in a few hours." Misato Katsuragi trembled slightly as she watched the dragon fighting the Angel.

This is a power that is currently beyond the reach of humankind.

Not only in terms of military strength, but also in terms of intelligence, which is something humans are proud of, there is a huge gap.

Ritsuko Akagi nodded. She was just curious, not really stupid. No one would provoke a dragon under normal circumstances.

By this time, Unit 2 had surfaced from the lava, thankfully without any major damage.

Suddenly, the lava in the crater exploded.

The dragon burst through the volcano and soared into the sky, its giant claws still clutching the apostle's corpse.

"Whoosh!"

With a flick of her wrists, Yamabuki Hanajin tossed the apostle's corpse in front of the crowd.

"The battle was over so quickly?" Misato Katsuragi swallowed hard, not expecting the power difference between the Angel and the Dragon to be so great.

The entire battle lasted less than a minute.

"No, the apostle isn't dead yet, its core hasn't been destroyed!" Ritsuko Akagi shouted.

The apostle, now only half a body, began to regenerate.

Suddenly, the dragon swooped down from high above, snatched out the core, and crushed it to pieces with a casual flick of its wrist.

The apostles were completely annihilated before they even had a chance to resist.

"In the end, will we still have to rely on other creatures to protect humanity?" Ritsuko Akagi asked gravely.

It seems that the EVAs created by humans cannot completely fight against the Angels.

In the previous battles, if it weren't for the sudden intervention of mythical dragons, this world might have already been destroyed.

Yamabuki Hanajin in the sky transformed back into her maid form and landed on the ground.

"Crisis resolved, retrieve the apostle's corpse." Misato Katsuragi immediately ordered her subordinates to collect the half-shaft of the apostle's corpse.

Humanity's greatest crisis right now is the Apostles, and to better understand them, we must study them.

Even the corpses of apostles are of great research value.

"How are you? Are you hurt? Are you scared? Was I cool just now?" Yamabuki Hanajin looked at Asuka with narrowed eyes.

"Hmph, not handsome at all. Don't forget what you said, you'd cook for me when we get back tonight." Asuka didn't dare look at Yamabuki Hanajin, pretending to look at the scenery around her.

"Alright, alright, I'll cook for you. But, was that cooking competition you mentioned earlier for real? I remember you can't cook, right?" Yamabuki Hanajin stared at Asuka.

Asuka coughed awkwardly, "Nobody is born knowing how to cook. If I can't, I can learn. Ayanami, you were completely useless in this battle. You even missed when throwing a knife."

Rei Ayanami nodded: "It was indeed my mistake. However, the cooking competition will continue. How about we have our duel in ten days?"

"Ten days later? Oh ho! So you can't cook either." Asuka looked at Rei Ayanami with a mischievous grin.

“Ten days is enough time to learn,” Rei Ayanami said, looking at Asuka defiantly.

A strong sense of tension arose between the two.

"Alright, alright! Let's put this argument aside. We agreed to go for a hot spring bath after work, right? Would you two ladies like to join me?" Misato Katsuragi asked as she walked over.

Asuka's eyes lit up at the mention of hot springs.

Rei Ayanami nodded.

"Then why don't you two hurry up and change your clothes? I'll be waiting for you at the command room door," Misato Katsuragi said with a smile.

After the two girls left, Misato Katsuragi walked up to Hanako Yamabuki and said, "Don't forget what you promised me. Help me talk to Shinji Ikari; he's on the verge of a mental breakdown. Don't you know magic? Do you have any magic that can calm someone down?"

Yamabuki Hanajin suddenly snapped her fingers: "I know! I have a brainwashing magic that turns people into idiots. Once I turn them into idiots, their emotions will stabilize!"

"Please, have some decency," Misato Katsuragi retorted.

I sent you here to save people, not to cause trouble.

"Didn't you hire a professional psychologist? I'm not a psychology major," Yamabuki Hanajin retorted.

“But outsiders see things more clearly. We’re all caught up in this, except you. You’re the only one who can help that child. In return… how about trying to go on a date with me?” Misato Katsuragi struck an alluring pose.

"Sorry, I'm not interested in a 30-year-old woman."

"I'm not even thirty yet, you bastard!!! Seriously... you specifically target teenage girls... don't you have any conscience?" Misato Katsuragi questioned.

"As long as I have no conscience, my conscience won't hurt." Yamabuki Hanajin said indifferently.

I fed my conscience to the dogs a long time ago, because it's too dark for even dogs to eat.

"Since you're begging me like this, I'll reluctantly go and counsel this young boy who's still going through puberty." Yamabuki Hanajin spread her wings and flew towards Shinji Ikari.

At this moment, Asuka and Rei Ayanami had already changed their clothes and come out.

"Alright! Let's go soak in the hot spring together!" Misato Katsuragi led the two little girls toward the hot spring not far away.

……

At this time, Shinji Ikari was still in a state of self-isolation.

He couldn't find his own direction at all, like a kite with a broken string, which could fall from the sky at any moment.

"boom!"

The door was suddenly kicked open.

"Young man? Feeling withdrawn? Get up and have some fun!"

Chapter 162: Asuka: Yamabuki, let's...

Shinji Ikari did not show any violent tendencies in his daily life; in fact, he was quite cowardly and would not fight back even if someone beat him up.

He likes to obey other people's opinions, and he will apologize immediately if he finds that others are unhappy.

He has always lived like this.

This is how he survives.

"Miss Maid... how did you get here?" Shinji Ikari was somewhat flattered.

"Do you think I came here willingly? I only came to comfort you after Misato Katsuragi begged me. Life is full of fun, what's there to be upset about?" Yamabuki Hanajin said, standing there without a care in the world.

Anyway, I'm not the one who has experienced hardship.

Shinji Ikari held the teacup in both hands and apologized softly, "I'm sorry..."

"Here's what I'll do. Do you find piloting an EVA really painful? Then quit. Go do what you love. Go see this beautiful world. You can come back a month later if you want to pilot an EVA. Don't worry about that, I'll talk to Misato. If you don't want to pilot an EVA, then go pursue the life you want. Nobody will force you."

“But… if we don’t fight… everyone…” Shinji Ikari knew he was cowardly and liked to run away, but if he didn’t step up, someone else would have to.

Of the eighteen apostles, only eight have emerged so far.

Humanity's crisis is not even half over.

"What are you thinking! You've never been a hero who saves the world. You're just an ordinary middle school student. Even if you don't go, there's Asuka, Rei Ayanami, and me! There will be many more pilots in the future. What you need to do is simple: go see the outside world, decide which path you want to take, and then come back and tell me."

"Your deadbeat father is gone, no one will force you anymore. Also, go out and see the world, you might meet someone who likes you. Okay, that's all I have to say, they're waiting for me to go to the hot springs, bye bye!" After saying that, Yamabuki Hanajin hurriedly spread her wings and flew towards the hot springs.

Shinji Ikari was left staring blankly at the broken window.

Why didn't you use the door?!

……

"I'm back! Did you all miss me?" Yamabuki Hanajin fell from the sky and jumped into the hot spring, splashing a lot of water.

Rei Ayanami, Asuka Langley Soryu, and Misato Katsuragi are all wearing swimsuits.

This vivid and enticing scene makes one's mouth water.

"Come here and let Mom see how well my good daughter is developing!" Yamabuki Hanajin hugged Asuka tightly, kneading and pinching her.

"Hey! Don't touch me like that! You're clearly bigger than me..."

"How can self-inflicted pain compare to the joy of helping others?" Yamabuki Hanajin looked at Asuka in her arms, who was wearing a one-piece swimsuit, and her joy blossomed.

"Cough cough cough!" Misato Katsuragi coughed twice forcefully, showing no regard for the presence of outsiders.

"How's it going with what I asked you to do? Is Shinji feeling any better?" Misato Katsuragi asked.

“He resigned,” Yamabuki Hanajin replied earnestly.

Misato Katsuragi tilted her head, not understanding what that sentence meant.

"Resigned... which means..."

"Shinji Ikari wants to see the outside world. So he resigned and will come back in a month. If he changes his mind after a month, he will become an EVA pilot again. If he doesn't want to be an EVA pilot anymore, then congratulations, he has finally escaped his misery," Hanajin Yamabuki said with a smile.

Misato Katsuragi rushed over and grabbed her neck: "You make it sound so easy! If Shinji Ikari leaves, who will pilot Unit-01? Shinji Ikari is the only one who can pilot Unit-01 right now. No one else can match Unit-01. If he really chooses to leave, then a third of our fighting force will be wasted."

"So what if it's a waste! It has nothing to do with me anyway! If you choke me again, I'll fight back!" Yamabuki Hanajin shrugged.

Misato Katsuragi slid weakly into the hot spring and started blowing bubbles.

She felt that her time as commander was coming to an end.

Shinji Ikari's situation is complex and cannot be resolved simply by resigning.

The higher-ups have been watching this boy closely and want him dead.

With no other option, Misato Katsuragi took out her phone and called Ritsuko Akagi, asking her to have professional bodyguards secretly protect Shinji Ikari's safety, hoping that Shinji wouldn't disappoint her and would come back on his own after he came to his senses.

"Alright, we've soaked in the hot springs, it's time for us to go home. I promised to cook for you, so no matter what I make, you have to eat it." Yamabuki Hanajin picked up Asuka like a kitten, and the two of them instantly appeared in the sky and disappeared.

"Is this the power of magic?" Misato Katsuragi smiled wryly. "When will I be able to become a magical girl?"

In the faraway world of Madoka Magica, Cupid sneezed.

Yamabuki Hanakami already knows what dish to make.

"Asuka, now it's time to witness a miracle." Yamabuki Hanajin grinned mischievously.

Asuka stared intently at the plate in front of her, wondering if this jerk would concoct some kind of weird food for her.

The plate was opened, revealing a strange piece of roasted meat with a skewer of bones in the middle.

"This is……"

"My tail meat. It's only for those you like to eat!"

Asuka carefully cut off a piece and took a bite.

Seems pretty good.
