Flag 3.0:
Keima wakes up in the morning a bit surprised by Asuka being close to him. He quickly jumps away from the couch, and Asuka. He also notices she was holding one of his PFPs in her hand, and played through most of the game. Keima stealthily takes the PFP out of Asuka's hands.
"Odd… How would she know to pick those choices, and wind up on the proper story path, I see… This makes rational sense, however, she doesn't know she set herself up for a bad route, by using the clichéd responses," Keima admits, noting Asuka has very low skill in playing dating sims.
Asuka wakes up slowly, and sees Keima is already attentive on his PFP. She slaps him across the face in annoyance. She is still desperately trying to get his attention.
"You could have at least said good morning to me, or is it I don't matter enough, you egocentric ass," Asuka says, as she slaps Keima again.
"Ah… Asuka seems angry with him, Elsie, shouldn't you help your brother," Shinij says, looking to her, worried about Keima.
"Not at all, brother has things under control," Elsie says, as if knowing what Keima's actual plan is.
"I'll have you know, I really don't fully care for any girl from the real world, after all, my world is that of the dating sims, and there, I am a god," Keima says, with a calm smirk, as he adjusts his glasses.
"You spineless prick! You think you are so great, don't you, well, I'll prove you that I am better than all those cheaply made 2D mary-sues of characters you happen to like, especially today at Nerv," Asuka says angrily, then calming down, once Misato wakes up and enters the room.
"2D… cheap… Mary-sue," Keima says, with a pained expression, as he suddenly went blue with depression. Keima did not foresee that things would change at this point. Hm… It is obvious now, more than ever she likes me… but that comment… I refuse to want to conquest someone so very… this girl is insolent for having said that about the dating sim girls I have conquered! How dare she question my realm of true ideal, which many others strive to achieve in the way I have.
Elsie worries about Keima's sudden change in mood, as everyone eats breakfast. Misato asks Keima about his mood change, to which Keima simply replies "nothing". Asuka obviously knows what she said to him must have bothered him, and Shinji out of respect, did not want to say a thing.
After the breakfast of toast, tea, and other traditional Japanese foods, Misato walks to the car with the other four young ones following along. Keima is crammed into the back row, sitting between Elsie and Asuka. Shinji is on the front row, next to Misato. Misato drives off quickly, in a reckless manner, heading into the Geofront. The car, along with its passengers, is being moved by an automated ramp downwards.
Elsie looks to the sides, and is amazed to see a whole subterranean lake, with a giant pyramid, and land. Everything inside the Geofront appears to look like the inside of a half a sphere, from where the ground ended, until its center. The areas around the sphere also seemed to emulate the sky and day time. Asuka looks to the sight along with Elsie. Keima completely ignores the interesting aspect of the Geofront, to focus on the PFP.
"Yes… I would pick that option over the other one," Keima says to himself, as he presses a button on his PFP.
The PFP screen shows a girl dressed like a princess smiling towards the screen. Keima smiled, and read the text to himself. He shed a single tear, as he manages to raise an arm up in excitement. The good ending was achieved, and now Keima could finish the walkthrough to Royal Picnic 3. He smiles with glee as he types out the walkthrough, and attempts to post it online. His expression goes pale when he sees there is no signal.
"What kind of world is this! There is no Wi-Fi of any kind, not even a one bar signal, my walkthrough writing is all in vain, when I get back, I am likely to have another backlist, which I hate," Keima says with a sigh, then looking to everyone else, who was confused about what Wi-Fi is. He has a small sweat drop thinking that he blew his cover.
"I see, sounds like you were living in South Korea before your parents died, huh," Misato says, looking to Keima and Elsie.
"Why yes, we were there for a while, and you see, I get commissioned for making walkthroughs of games, and a large fan base, as well as the title of God of Conquest," Keima explains.
"That is why, I refer to my big brother as Divine one," Elsie adds with a smile.
"That has to be the most ridiculous thing ever, idiots actually commission for that kind of thing," Asuka says to him, in a mocking manner.
"Asuka… You shouldn't be mean to him about it, I mean, at least he has a purpose of his own," Shinji says, wanting to defend Keima this time.
"Who asked for your opinion, Shinji," Asuka says, as they all arrive in Nerv.
Keima walks along with Elsie and Misato, who are now infront of a blonde haired woman in a labsuit. Keima avoided making any kind of eye contact, and Elsie stood next to him, acting cutely.
"And who are these two, Misato," The woman asks, as both Asuka and Shinji leave elsewhere.
"These two are my relatives, Keima, and Elsie Katsuragi, I'm their biological Aunt, and their parents died recently, Dr Akagi," Misato explains.
"I see, well, since you have a bit of pull here, Misato, I might as well have their IDs made by Maya," Dr Akagi looks to Keima out of curiousity, seeing him not even once look around, or listen to anything from outside while on his PFP.
"What is that thing the boy is holding," Dr Akagi asks, looking to the PFP suspiciously.
"It's not a thing, it is a PFP, or Play Field Personal, and all I do, is play games with it, nothing more, especially with the lack of Wi-fi," Keima explains, a bit annoyed by her questioning.
"I see… then I have nothing else to ask then," Dr Akagi says, as she walks off.
She must certainly fall under the scientist type arch-type of minor characters. They very inquisitive, and meant to explain things in the sci-fi genre, but sometimes end up being the villian or a hindrance, whichever she is, I cannot be exposed to her for too long, otherwise my PFP will give me away as not from this world.
Alarms suddenly went off, as people began to run towards the command terminals. Misato drags Keima along by the hand, while Elsie follows. They all look to the screen, as the Magi system identifies a new angel.
"Blood Pattern Blue, it's an angel," Dr Akagi declares in a nervous tone.
"It's the 8th angel, Sahaquiel," A bearded man says, looking to the screen, with both his hands covering his chin and mouth, in a just as planned pose.
"Commander Gendou, we will have the Evangelion units mobilized to deal with it," Misato says, looking to him.
Keima looks up to see the large screen, and the three evangelion units out on the field. He isn't normally fond of sci-fi genre, but had to make an exception for this world. He smiles, as he watches the three evangelion units create a giant AT field of energy to stop a giant purple mass from falling onto the ground. That thing, Keima assumes to be the angel Gendou mentions. Keima notices the red mecha, or evangelion, is under Asuka's control.
Rei struggles as she holds the angel's massive A.T. Field in place with her own evangelion unit, which is a large golden, one eyed giant. The angel's core is spinning around quickly, and Asuka's knife strikes to it miss. Shinji manages to stop the core from spinning, despite Asuka's refusal for help. Asuka ends up realizing she is not able to take care of that angel on her own. With both Rei and Shinji's help, Asuka lunges the knife into the core. The 8th angel let out a ear piercing screetch as it then explodes into blood, and figures that look like humanoids with trumpets along its back, die into stillness.
Keima is feels a surprise from what he witnesses, and admits to himself, that this world is interesting. He notices Asuka's mood change as well, from the communications between her and the other pilots. Keima asks Dr Akagi about Asuka, wanting to know more of her past.
"Oh, you want to know about her, I will let you know, on one condition," Dr Akagi says, walking with Keima to the break room.
"And what would that single condition," Keima replies following along.
"I want you to hand over that PFP of yours, for some research of mines," Dr Akagi says, with a smirk.
I'm lucky I have more than one PFP. I am guessing this is my only chance to acquire the final piece that will allow me to see the ending. I am almost there already, I just need to trigger a long cut scene filled with emotion.
"Fine, just give me the information I need already, and it is yours," Keima says, as he removes the game and memory stick from his PFP.
"Very well, listen well, this kind of information is normally personal, but her mother died during development of Evangelion Unit 02," Akagi says to him.
"That big red mecha, why would someone die from making that," Keima asks, looking to Dr Akagi.
"Well, her mother… took her own life, no one in Nerv knows exactly why. For now it is assumed she snapped under pressure of producing the thing, and the worst part is, Asuka saw her mother take her own life," Dr Akagi then says, as she leaves.
"The hostile attitude, the tragic past, and the need for attention and praise, it all makes sense now, I can see the ending now," Keima says, as he adjusts his glasses.
Elsie follows Keima from a distance, knowing what was about to happen. She had cloaked her own presence with the magic of the hagoromo around her neck. Keima makes his way to where Asuka was exiting the evangelion unit, along with the two other pilots. Rei looks to Keima out of curiousity, and to the empty space, where Elsie was being cloaked. Elsie has a surprised look, noticing that Rei was vacantly staring towards her for a brief moment. Rei blinked as she and Elsie makes eye contact, and then leaves the room. Shinji leaves the area rather quickly to go change out of his blue and white skintight pilot suit, or plugsuit, as Keima noticed them being called by staff members of Nerv.
"There you are, so what did you think of that," Asuka says, with a smile, noting that Keima did not have his PFP out.
"It was amazing… I didn't expect you to be that good of a pilot of a mecha," Keima says, looking to Asuka, making eye contact.
"Don't patronize me! I know I screwed up, I couldn't beat that thing alone, I had to depend on that idiot Shinji, and the stupid doll, Ayanami," Asuka says in frustration.
"But still, you were the one to finish the job, that should count for something," Keima says as he approaches Asuka.
"It means nothing, if I can't be first! I have to be first, I cannot accept anything else," Asuka says about to tear up.
"You shouldn't put too much pressure onto yourself! Don't you think your mother wanted you to be happy, and not to fall under the same condition that lead to her demise and doom," Keima says, looking into her eyes, noting they were even more aggressive now.
"Who the hell told you about that!? How dare you talk about my mother, you know nothing about her, and," Asuka is about to start crying, and she punches Keima on the chest.
"Nnn… I asked the Doctor here, and well, I know enough to know the pain you are feeling, I lost my mother as well, and I'm the only one my little sister can depend on," Keima says as he rests his hands on Asuka's shoulders, as he acts and emulates his emotions.
"Still, this gives you no right to go asking others who know nothing of how I truly feel," Asuka says as she cries.
"I love you just as you are, so please, stop trying to put too much pressure onto yourself, ok, for not just your sake, but for mines, my little sister, and everyone else who cares about you," Keima says as holds Asuka closer to his self.
Keima is surprised as Asuka suddenly kisses him by bring his face close to hers, by using her hands. Keima could feel the plugsuit, and her physical body pressing against his, as they kiss. Elsie takes this opportunity to take out a giant capture jar. From out of Asuka's back, the loose soul begins to be expelled from Asuka's body. Elsie opens the top of the capture jar, and points it towards the loose soul. The loose soul struggles to get free from being captured, until it inevitably winds up in the jar.
"Loose soul captured! This was a good capture, divine one," Elsie says, as she looks to Keima, with a smile.
"She is going to forget, like all the others, isn't she," Keima asks, looking to Elsie, seeming a bit bitter about it.
"Yes, divine one, after all, we can't stop until you capture all the loose souls, otherwise, that collar will explode if you abandon your role," Elsie explains.
"I see, then it is true what they say, the path of a Conqueror is a lonely one, however, I am resigned to this fate, since I have the realm of dating sims under my rule," Keima says as he lets go of Asuka.
Keima left with Elsie, noticing that Asuka simply went blank after the kiss. He sighs, and looks to the side, walking with Elsie. Rei is currently in an elevator with both of them, heading upwards. She does not say a single word to either Keima or Elsie, who are currently in the same room as her. Odd, she couldn't have seen all that happen… I doubt it though, if anything, I can have Elsie handle getting rid of her memory. Elsie also notices Rei, feeling uneasy about her, and the looks she was giving both of them.
"I saw… the thing you took from the second child," Rei simply states, as she walks off as mysteriously as she speaks devoid of emotion once the elevator door opens.
"Elsie… it's just as a suspected, we have another obstacle to our conquests here," Keima states, as he notices Elsie chase after Rei right away, with her broom up in the air. There was a loud thud at the moment Elsie caught up to Rei, and Keima looks to Elsie in surprise.
