The Collection of The End

——2015.8.24——】

Third New Tokyo City, "Golden Throat" Karaoke Hall.

"Flowers will eventually fall apart]"

"Dreams always have no end]"

"In that case, soul tears

"Where will it go again?"

Shinji Ikari held the microphone and watched dumbfoundedly as Rei Ayanami and Kirishima Mana sang together.

With such almost identical timbres and intonations, if you close your eyes, you can't tell who is who.

However, this voice and tone do not belong to any of them. To be specific, Rei Ayanami's voice has more emotion, while Kirishima Mana's voice is a lot more indifferent, which is the product of mutual accommodation.

And if you just look at the current situation, it is hard to imagine that they are actually the coercers and targets of coercion - well, in fact, it is the trouble caused by the "petty bourgeoisie".

This karaoke session is part of the "school trip plan" formulated by Asuka.

Although the plan itself was nonsense, the details of the plan were still very organized, with a good mix of large-scale activities, small-scale activities, indoor activities and outdoor activities - except that she didn't know that the Bon Festival and the Mid-Autumn Festival coincided with each other at the beginning. , and the next day he hurriedly used "the moon on the fifteenth day is sixteen round" as an excuse to make up for the moon-viewing party.

Today's plan is "activities that cannot be done at school or at home", namely karaoke and bowling games - after all, the Assembly Garden will not prepare such facilities for students that they rarely use.

Oh, by the way, the song Ayanami and Kirishima sang is called "Assembly Garden. Could it be the school song?"

"Even though it seems like eternity, time has passed]"

"Our hearts are still like mirrors, and we will definitely call each other]"

"Believe deeply, bond]"

"Believe deeply in the thing called "destiny"】"

After singing the song, Ayanami Rei simply put down the microphone, while Kirishima Mana waved and bowed with a very intoxicated look.

There was no way... Shinji Ikari could only give her a round of applause.

"Well, cough!"

Asuka walked onto the stage, squeezed out Kirishima's real name, and made a point of clearing her throat vigorously.

Shinji Ikari raised his eyes and kept moving his hands. For the sake of this specific environment, he just applauded you...

"Take me to the moon]"

"Let me play among the stars]"

"Let me see with my eyes]"

"Spring on Jupiter and Mars]"

Uh-huh? This song doesn't match your style. It's soft and sweet. It's a shame this talented driver can handle it.

Shinji Ikari glanced at the screen and said, "lymetothemoon, okay, simple and straightforward.

And just when Shinji Ikari was about to continue enjoying it, Asuka turned around and cut the song directly as if she couldn't bear it.

"Interpreting the globe like a riddle]"

"We can go anywhere]"

"Praying for the heartbeat of expectation every day]"

"Who fulfilled this wish for me?]"

"..." Well, this was her style. Shinji Ikari took out his ears, which were a little uncomfortable because the sound suddenly became louder and noisier.

"In a good mood on a sunny day?" This song really fits the occasion.

"Okay, it's your turn," Asuka finished singing, walked off the stage, and handed the microphone to Shinji Ikari.

"No, I don't need to. I'm not very good at this." Shinji Ikari tried to decline politely.

"That's not possible. It's a competition as promised," Asuka raised her eyebrows: "How about you just give up and admit defeat."

……etc?

So today’s plan isn’t “Karaoke” and “Bowling Game” but “Karaoke and Bowling Game”?

Give up...

"Come on, come on, Shinji-san." Kirishima Mana, who was completely unaware of the situation, clenched his fists at Shinji Ikari to encourage him.

Of course, Rei Ayanami knew what was going on here, but for some unknown reason, he also said, "I want to hear it."

It is impossible to admit defeat!

Shinji Ikari snatched Asuka's microphone away.

A moment later, the bowling alley.

"Pfft hahahaha——"

Asuka was weighing the bowling ball in her hand, but suddenly she started pointing at Shinji Ikari and laughing.

No, what comes to mind is obvious, okay?

"I told you I'm not good at singing!" Shinji Ikari glared at her: "What's so weird about a boy who hasn't changed his voice singing a girl's voice! Why are you laughing!"

"Hahaha... Oh no, I can't help but think about it." Asuka covered her face and continued to laugh muffledly.

"Really..." Shinji Ikari decided not to care about her, and instead picked up a bowling ball and threw it towards the track.

Boom, grunt, bang.

A total of three were knocked down.

"Well, I think the song Shinji-san sings is very nice." Kirishima Mana tried to comfort Ikari Shinji. After saying this in a panic, he also threw the bowling ball.

Knocked down two.

"Okay, okay, you are so stupid that I don't even have the heart to laugh," Asuka shook her head, raised her hand and threw the bowling ball in a standard posture.

Ten, clear the place.

Hmm... What a pity. If it was Ayanami, he should be able to do it, but ten is already the upper limit.

Shinji Ikari subconsciously looked at Ayanami Rei while thinking about it, and then discovered...

She packed a bowling ball into her carry-on backpack.

...?

Literary Society.

"I declare that this 'school trip' is a complete success," Asuka said loudly after putting away all the vacation photos in categories: "Everyone can face the new semester with plenty of energy!"

That's weird, you are the only one who is still energetic...

"If information spreads that Shinji-san is good at female singing, it must have nothing to do with me." She added.

It would be strange to believe you.

But it doesn't matter. If Suzuhara Touji, Aida Kensuke, or anyone else laughs at them, just say "I'm an EVA pilot" back.

Afterwards, perhaps because they were really tired, Asuka and Kirishima Mana quickly said goodbye and left, leaving only Ikari Shinji and Ayanami Rei to clean up the club classroom - of course, it was mainly Ikari Shinji who took charge.

"I'm talking about Ayanami," Shinji Ikari asked casually to Ayanami Rei while cleaning up the messy club classroom: "When will the next apostle attack?"

"Now." Ayanami Rei replied.

"Oh, it turns out..." Shinji Ikari was stunned: "Now? Where is it? Let's go back to the headquarters immediately."

"Here." Ayanami Rei bent down to open her backpack and took out the bowling ball.

It is no longer a "bowling ball", it is a strange sphere covered with twisted black and white stripes and with three black holes on it.

Almost at the same time it appeared, Shinji Ikari's "Duel Disk" appeared on his left arm, and the information about the "miniature apostle" also emerged:

Winged Dragon of the Sun God·Spherical Body: Attack Power:? Defense:? 】

"Hiss..." Shinji Ikari pressed the card pile, not knowing whether to draw a card for a moment: "Um, Ayanami? You finally decided to trigger the third impact? But isn't it inconvenient here? Let's go back to the underground fortress first. Well, get closer to Eve."

"...Are you an idiot?" Rei Ayanami quoted Asuka's classic speech, and then seemed to want to roll her eyes at him, but failed to make a corresponding expression: "Although this apostle has just been born, if it is allowed to swallow matter in the outside world, , will become larger and larger and difficult to control, and even EVA will not be able to defeat it by then, so we must deal with it here in advance."

"Then..." Shinji Ikari had a bad premonition: "What is the solution without driving the EVA?"

"Let it swallow you." Ayanami Rei raised his hand and threw the "bowling ball" over.

"etc?!"

The gathering garden, swimming pool.

Wow.

Wearing an orange one-piece swimsuit, Rei Ayanami climbed up from the swimming pool along the ladder, walked wetly to Shinji Ikari, who was staring at the laptop screen, touched his head, and then turned and left.

...What is she doing?
