Immortal Soul of Steel

Chapter 430 Harmony in the Third New Tokyo City
The old man's answer left Ikari silent for a long time before he sighed.

"I see. So, how is Shinji doing now?"

The old man replied: "If Shinji-kun is speaking, he should still be in school with other candidates."

"Let's not talk about other places, just in this third new Tokyo city, they are still safe."

"but……"

Ikari said in a deep voice, "Time is running out..."

The old man nodded and sighed, "Yes, time is running out."

"Although the materials and energy in the third new Tokyo City are still sustainable."

"But the people of the Freedom Federation seem to have lost their patience."

"At present, there is no evidence to prove why the dimensional beast suddenly started to attack underground."

"But in this kind of place, unless someone wants to seek death. Then the only possibility is that people from the Freedom Federation are deliberately guiding the dimensional beast."

As he said that, the old man looked at Ikari: "So, Ikari, we must make a decision before all the defense facilities are breached."

"Otherwise, it will be too late when the Dimensional Beasts really invade the Third New Tokyo City."

Ikari pursed her lips, her eyes full of seriousness.

After a long time, Ikari asked a question without beginning or end.

"Isn't it a better choice for us to leave with others back then?"

Ikari's words made the old man a little silent.

The old man looked at the lake outside the window and sighed.

"If we had really left, are you sure that Shinji and Li would have been born smoothly?"

"At that time, Wei could give birth at any time. Unless we abandon Wei's life, do we have other options?"

Looking back at the silent Ikari, the old man suddenly smiled.

"Also, running away with them is not necessarily a good thing."

"The situation was so chaotic back then, unless we could escape back to the unified mainland."

"Otherwise, we can only go to the Free Federation, or go overseas to make a living."

"Let's not talk about the situation back then, how low is the possibility of escaping back to the unified mainland."

"Just the style of the Freedom Federation will kill everyone's desire to go to the Freedom Federation."

"After all, no one wants to go to someone else's country and let themselves, or even their children, be used as cows and horses for the enemy who destroyed our home..."

As Ikari slowly closed his eyes, the old man felt relieved.

"Ikari, our choice back then was correct."

"The possibility of abandoning Tokyo and going overseas to establish a second new Tokyo city is lower than establishing a third new Tokyo city here."

"And once we go overseas, it means we have betrayed the unity. The result may be even worse."

"It might be a better choice to be like this now. At least, aren't we all still alive now?"

As he spoke, the old man looked at the lake outside the window with a firm gaze.

"Moreover, here, there are things worth giving up our lives to protect..."

"Even if we die, we must not hand over those things to the Free Federation..."

Hearing what the old man said, Ikari opened the drawer, took out a photo frame, looked at the person in the photo frame, and murmured.

"Shinji... Rei..."

Just when Ikari was chanting the names of the two people in the photo frame.

In the only high school teacher in this third new Tokyo city.

The black-haired boy and blue-haired girl who were very similar to those in the photo frame were sitting on the roof, looking at the sky formed by the mechanical walls above their heads.

"It's the same sinking sky again."

The boy looked at the sky, his eyes gradually lost focus, and he didn't know what he was thinking.

But soon, his attention was called back by a cold voice.

"Shinji, the bento is ready."

Hearing this voice, Shinji quickly lowered his head, looked at the blue-haired girl beside him, and nodded in response.

"Well, sorry to trouble you again, Li."

The blue-haired girl named Li shook her head expressionlessly and said.

"It's okay, it should be, because I'm an older sister. It's my older sister's responsibility to take care of my younger brother."

Shinji's expression was a little subtle: "Well, Rei, I'm actually..."

Before Shinji finished speaking, he was interrupted by a loud sound of Duang~, and Shinji was startled by the sound.Li turned her head slowly, looking in the direction where the voice came from.

Under Li's gaze, in the direction of the rooftop staircase door, a girl in glasses with purple double low ponytails, a girl with orange hair and double ponytails, and a boy with short white hair and a soft smile were looking at them.

Among them, the girl in glasses with purple double low ponytails has a dark face and eyes full of anger.

"I found you! Shinji, Rei."

Seeing this girl, Shinji showed helplessness, while Rei said in unison with a blank expression.

"Auntie Makiha."*2
"To shut up!!!"

The girl with purple double-low ponytail glasses named Makiha rushed over, hugged Shinji, and made Shinji blush.

"Ma-Ma Hiba-san, don't be like this..."

Shinji persevered and said: "I don't care, it's obvious that you guys let me go and broke the appointment. Now Shinji, you have to make up for me. I want to replenish Shinji's energy."

The girl with orange hair and twin ponytails walked from the stairs and held her forehead with a headache on her face.

"Shinji's energy or something...that kind of thing doesn't exist at all, okay?"

"And if you stay with the idiot Shinji for a long time, you will be infected as an idiot."

"Aunt Mahiba, I've said it so many times, why don't you understand?"

Beside the girl with orange hair and twin ponytails, the boy with short white hair replied with a smile on his face.

"There's nothing you can do about it, Asuka."

"Aunt Makoto was forced into cryogenic hibernation due to some accidents."

"Now that I finally woke up by chance, I will inevitably feel a little uncomfortable facing this strange world."

A girl with orange hair and twin ponytails named Asuka pulled her shoulders helplessly.

"Your words, Nagisa Kaoru, make sense, but no matter what, Aunt Makiha is a classmate of the same generation as Aunt Yui."

"It's somewhat inappropriate for her to pester Shinji like this?"

In the peaceful smile of the white-haired boy named Kaoru Nagisa, Makiha embraced the flushed Shinji and looked at Asuka with a teasing smile.

"Ah, what's the matter, is little Asuka jealous?"

For a moment, Asuka blushed and roared: "Who, who, who would be jealous of this guy? Auntie Makiha, don't talk nonsense!"

Makiha's expression gradually looked at Asuka playfully, with that gaze, Asuka dared not look at him.

After Asuka avoided looking at Makibo, Makibo's expression turned into a funny face.

Shinji put his arms around Shinji's neck directly, and rubbed Shinji's face with his smooth pretty face.

This action directly made Shinji's face turn red on the spot.It also directly made someone blow their hair.

Shinji staggered and refused, "Ma-Aunt Shinami, please don't be like this..."

Asuka snarled on the spot: "Mahiba, you old woman give me a little bit, don't you feel ashamed of old cows eating young grass? That's your best friend's son!!!"

With a funny face on his face, Makibo returned: "Wouldn't that be better?"
