Third New Tokyo City, suburban forest.
vi——vi——vi——vi——
Just after noon, the blazing sun scorched the earth, rising waves of heat that distorted the vision, and the continuous chirping of cicadas made people even more anxious.
In this environment, the students wearing assembly school uniforms and sun hats looked out of place.
"Today, the activity of the Literary Club's 'Study Trip' is to catch cicadas~" Asuka announced loudly, holding an insect catching net: "These noisy things have seriously affected the literary club's creative progress, we have to catch them all!"
Why do we need to catch cicadas in literary club activities?
Are we creating anything?
How to catch all the cicadas in the city?
Shinji Ikari was carrying the transparent box containing the bugs and tried to complain but couldn't decide which sentence to say first, so he turned to look at Rei Ayanami.
"Captain, what should we do after we are caught?" Rei Ayanami raised his hand and asked.
Wake up, you are the president of the literary club.
"Well, I heard they can be eaten..." Asuka turned to Kirishima Mana: "Can you do it?"
"Ah...this...I can give it a try..." Kirishima answered hesitantly.
Don't try!
"Generally speaking, activities similar to catching insects will send the trophies to the Insect Research Club," Shinji Ikari started to stop the topic from developing in a bad direction. "What is the name of the president of that club? The abilities of qualified candidates seem to be related to insects. , but he’s on vacation now, and cicadas only live a week, so…”
"Should it be coated in flour and fried until golden?" Asuka answered very naturally.
"Should, let, live," Shinji Ikari glared at her: "We have no place to store such things."
"If they are released, then why should we catch them?" Asuka pouted.
I still want to know!
"Catching insects is part of summer vacation." Rei Ayanami replied.
"Yeah!" Kirishima nodded repeatedly, as if he was afraid that he would be arranged to blow up cicadas.
"Well, okay," Asuka seemed to have given up on eating them: "Then let's compete to see who can catch the most! I must be the first!"
What's the comparison...

After agreeing on the meeting place and time, Asuka ran away with the insect net and Kirishima hesitated slightly, then walked in the other direction with the insect net and box.
I really don’t know what’s so fun about this. I haven’t even started writing my homework yet. Shinji Ikari scratched his head and turned to look at Ayanami Rei: “Ayanami, are you ready…”
Ayanami Rei was holding an insect net and cautiously approaching a nearby tree that was emitting the chirping of cicadas.
Why do you look like you're enjoying it? Is she serious?
Shinji Ikari silently shut up and followed Rei Ayanami.
If you think about it carefully, although she is a "humanoid interface of an information-integrated thought body" or an "incarnation of Eve", she is still an ordinary fourteen-year-old girl who grew up from a human baby.
She usually trains and studies step by step. Although she is taciturn, she must also be yearning for the entertainment activities of her peers, right?
This time, while Asuka was messing around, it was just the right time to experience it.
vi——vi——vi——
What was a bit strange was that even though Ayanami Rei had already brought the net to the cicada that was constantly chirping, it still seemed completely unaware and could not fly.
Ayanami Rei looked at it for a few seconds, then suddenly put down the net and opened his mouth to try to swallow it.
Then Shinji Ikari rushed over in two steps, held his face and pushed him back.
"Ah." Ayanami Rei looked at the cicada that was flapping its wings and flew away after being frightened, and blinked, seeming to feel pity.
"What are you doing?" Shinji Ikari glared at her.
"When describing a person who is good at talking, he would say 'there is a cicada in his mouth'." Rei Ayanami replied.
"You even said you were 'describing' it! When you are too busy, you would say 'I want to borrow the cat's hand'. Do you really want to borrow it?"
"You can try it."
"..."
I was wrong. I would get angry with anyone who told me she was an ordinary girl.
It's not that she doesn't know human common sense, but she doesn't regard common sense as a "code" for action, but as a "reference". When no one asks her to use the "code", she will naturally do things that violate "common sense" "Things.
After all... the apostle would try eating a cicada to see if his eloquence would improve without losing anything.
There must be something wrong with dad’s education methods!

Literary Department.
"Here, here are all the photos from this 'school trip'. Anyone who wants them can take them. If any of them are popular, I can print more." Asuka, wearing a dress, announced that the event she planned was a complete success. Afterwards, a table was spread with photos taken at festivals, fireworks displays, and other various events.
Hmm... Shinji Ikari picked up the photo from the "Summer Cicada Hunting Activity" and looked at it.
The proud Asuka and the awkward Kirishima put their arms around each other and showed their insect boxes filled with cicadas to the camera, while Ayanami Rei and herself returned empty-handed.
Of course this is not the case. If she wanted to catch them, Ayanami could catch all the cicadas in the entire forest. After all, those cicadas were too stupid to fly.
After thinking about it, the reason may be that the "Apostle", a predator at the top of the food chain, entered the "hunting state" - that is, he picked up the insect net, which caused the cicada at the bottom of the food chain to be suppressed and did not even dare to escape. Able to wait for death.
And when the human being, who was also at the top of the food chain, stopped Ayanami's "predatory behavior", the cicada thought that there was a fight between the predators, so she took the opportunity to slip away.
"Oh, isn't this the day at the beginning of the holiday when you lost 2-0?" Asuka looked over and said, "Not only can't you catch insects, but you can't catch fish either. It's really too bad."
When is the competition?
After the cicada catching activity, fishing was next, and this activity basically confirmed his idea about "predators". Ayanami was very standard in making nests, baiting and fishing, but not even half of the fish was hooked. , perhaps in the eyes of the school of fish, this is an apex predator showing off with food, and no one will go to the tiger's mouth to snatch food if they don't want to die.
And in order to prevent Ayanami from getting angry and going directly to the river to fish for fish - this may be very low - he has been staying by her side, but naturally he has gained nothing.
However, due to Asuka's habitual bleating and hyperactivity, she hardly caught any fish. Instead, Kirishima Mana caught a bucket full of fish. Is this the strength of the maid?
"The summer vacation is coming to an end soon, and it's almost time for the apostles to launch an attack," Shinji Ikari poured cold water on Asuka, who raised her tail: "We are the pilots, there is no need to focus on unimportant things."
"Really, why is it the same as what Mr. Kaji said..." Asuka muttered and turned away.
"Apostles..." Rei Ayanami, who was reading a book, looked up: "Do you want the apostles to attack immediately, or do you want them to wait?"
"If you can, just wait a little longer. Asuka is too noisy and hasn't calmed down yet." Shinji Ikari replied casually,
"good."
"Eh? Can you..."
"cannot."

The gathering garden, the swimming pool.
crackling——
Rei Ayanami, who was wearing a light blue one-piece swimsuit, entered the water upside down and floated like a dead tree.
－－－－－－Digression－－－－－
The last chapter was just bragging...actually there are only two chapters in 4K...but [formerly a fat man] directly offered a reward of 5,000 if you want to read it...
Forget it, add some dry stuff and some water, squeeze in eight chapters with 2K, and finish it as soon as possible.
I changed the chapter name to make it easier to skip if you don't want to read it.
