"Well, even after eating so much, you still remember to look for home."

At this time, Akagi Ritsuko's trembling voice came from the headset:

"Tono, another monster has appeared in the Third New Tokyo!"

It was not difficult to hear it from Ritsuko Akagi's anxious and fearful tone and the exclamations coming from the command room from time to time.

At this moment, everyone in the command room must be in panic.

"receive,"

Higashino Kei replied, his face full of calmness.

After all, when monsters appear, they always have the ability to absorb light beams, which is somewhat unsolvable.

It is normal for Ritsuko Akagi to have this reaction.

I just don't know what kind of evolution Thunder Angel will bring to Bemonstan.

I'm so envious~

Kei Higashino sighed in his heart, and while connecting his mind with Bemundstein, he stretched his hand into the void.

Soon, Bemonstein, who was lying in a drowsy sleep in the Third New Tokyo City, began to shrink rapidly, contrary to his usual behavior.

Then it disappeared into thin air.

Chapter 154: 153: A Wall Separated

Kei Higashino, who was at the observation deck of Futagoyama Fortress, had a small fat eagle with sky-blue feathers in his hand.

"You enjoyed your meal. I have a lot to do tonight."

Higashino Kei's gaze lingered on Behmonstan for a moment, and he murmured, "Go back."

Bemenstein, who was half asleep, turned around and turned into a stream of light and merged into Kei Higashino's left shoulder.

"The apostle lost all traces of life, and the monster disappeared!"

This news was reported by Hinata Makoto.

For a moment, everyone in the field command room looked at each other in confusion and silence fell.

I can't believe there is a monster behind the scenes.

"Da da~"

At this moment, the sound of leather shoes stepping on the ground broke the silent atmosphere in the field command vehicle.

When Ritsuko Akagi saw that it was Kei Higashino who walked in, her eyes couldn't help but reveal a questioning look.

Kei Higashino didn't say anything, but just quietly made an OK gesture.

Seeing this, Ritsuko Akagi breathed a sigh of relief, but she did not let her guard down.

"Before the monster returns, the maintenance department must quickly repair the armor layer. Misato, I'll take Tono and Maya to do the cleanup."

"Coordinating the evacuation efforts and the two pilots will be left to you."

"what?"

Katsuragi Misato came back to her senses and scratched her hair frantically. Even though she had a thousand words to say,

But he could only watch Akagi Ritsuko and her men leave.

Not long after, orders were issued layer by layer.

The equipment of various departments of Erzishan Fortress was also quickly dismantled and evacuated in an orderly manner.

After the record of the follow-up work is completed.

Kei Higashino got into Ritsuko Akagi's sedan and prepared to go back to Ritsuko Akagi's house together.

Ibuki Maya came over.

"Maya, is there anything else?" asked Ritsuko Akagi.

"I……"

Ibuki Maya wanted to say something but stopped herself because she didn't know what identity she should use to talk to Kei Higashino.

She came to work at NERV because she admired and liked Ritsuko Akagi.

I thought Kei Higashino would be a good junior, but unexpectedly, he turned out to be my love rival.

Although Ritsuko Akagi had already said that Kei Higashino was just her junior and the relationship between them was pure.

But how can there be any pure relationship between a single man and a single woman in the same room?

Looking at Kei Higashino sitting in the passenger seat, Ibuki Maya felt very complicated.

In recent times, one could even say that she was almost on the verge of collapse due to these complex emotions.

Now I have finally mustered up the courage and decided to face this relationship.

But when the words came to her lips, she didn't know how to start.

"It's okay, I just want to ask, what are you going to do when you get back?"

"It's the middle of the night,"

Higashino Kei felt that Ibuki Maya's question was a bit strange:

"Of course I'm sleeping. Aren't you tired?"

"Sleep, is that so?"

Ibuki Maya looked as if she had expected it.

It seems that it's time to end this twisted relationship.

Higashino Kei looked puzzled: "What else?"

Look at the huge difference in body proportions between Ritsuko Akagi and Keina Higashino.

Although Ibuki Maya has decided to completely let go of her feelings for Akagi Ritsuko, she still can't help but feel sorry for her senior.

"Dongye-kun, please be gentle."

Higashino Kei was completely confused: "What do you mean, be gentle?"

"It's nothing, be safe."

Ibuki Maya shook her head, threw down the two boxes, left these words, and turned and ran away.

Looking at the two boxes in his arms, Kei Higashino fell silent.

No, the gifts also include Lan Elf and Wangzai QQ Candy.

Or has the condition worsened?

Because it was dim inside the car, Ritsuko Akagi could not clearly see the words on the things in Kei Higashino's arms. She only knew that there were two packaging boxes that looked like medicine.

"What did Maya send you?"

"I don't know, what is it used for?"

Kei Higashino pretended not to know and handed over the two boxes.

When Ritsuko Akagi saw the handwriting on the box, her face suddenly turned red with embarrassment. After a moment of silence, she pretended to be calm.

"I'll teach you when we get back."

no……

Kei Higashino was slightly stunned, but the meat was already in front of his mouth, and as a man, there was no reason for him not to eat it.

"Then trouble you."

……

at the same time.

NERV headquarters command room.

Deputy Commander Dong Yue watched the replay of the apostle being killed by the monster on the screen and sighed softly:

"This time the apostle was killed by a monster. I'm afraid the next quarter's funding will be cut significantly.

Without additional funding, our plan... Ikari, how do you plan to solve this problem?"

Ikari Gendo watched the replay on the screen calmly: "It's nothing more than owing a few favors."

"Don't worry about the funding issue, I will take care of it."

Deputy Commander Dong Yue felt relieved upon hearing this:

"As I get older, my body can't compare to that of a young person. Just leave the base's affairs to me."

Wait for Deputy Commander Dongyue to leave the command room.

Gendo Ikari slowly picked up the phone on the table and dialed the number.

"I'm going to owe you a favor again this time."

"Well~"

A calm voice came from the other end of the phone: "Since you don't plan to pay it back anyway, don't say these polite words."

"Have you received the stuff?"

"Got it," Ikari Gendo responded.

"That's good," the man on the other end of the phone continued, "This is the second impact data they requested under the Information Disclosure Act.

I have mixed in false information. Given their personalities, after seeing this information, they will probably secretly prepare countermeasures.

The Marseille Islands issue will probably be suspended in the next two days."

Ikari Gendo thought for a moment and said, "Thank you for your hard work, Kaji."

"It's so rare to hear you say that," Kaji Ryoji smiled. "By the way, do you need my help with that plan?"

"No, Ritsuko is there to take care of JA's affairs, that's enough,"

Ikari Gendo directly rejected Kaji's help: "Please bring the things back to me as soon as possible."
