The white-haired girl looked back at Shinji with a puzzled expression, not understanding what he said. On the other hand, Shinji smiled at her and continued to speak.
”Your life span is not long. It’s because your body is deteriorating fast. Do you understand me so far?”
She nodded her head in silence, but Shinji kept his eyes on her as he continued.
”Then your life will be prolonged if you solve your physical problems. However, it is impossible to do it properly. We have to do something like remaking your entire body.”
Freri stands behind Shinji as he speaks, and the white-haired girl looks up. She sees the long, thin, spade-shaped tail that extends from Freri’s lower back, usually hidden, swaying from side to side, but all she knows is that it is another race that must be defeated. So the white-haired girl just nods her head.
(She really only knows the bare minimum of what she needs to know. Even if I told her I would change her body, she wouldn’t understand.)
Her true feelings are easily seen in her emotionally aware and overly honest eyes. She didn’t understand what it meant to remake her body, and her eyes were saying “What’s that?” To the people who are willing to cooperate with him, Shinji, who usually gives polite explanations, changes his direction to a simple one.
”If you cooperate with us, we will help you. What I want you to do is to make a black hole again. Then I’ll make sure you don’t die. How’s that sound?”
”Accepted. Happiness.”
The white-haired girl nods her head in response to Shinji’s question, her face expressionless and the only emotion in her eyes is joy. She does not understand what is involved in helping Shinji. But because she does not want to die, she cooperates. That was all.
Now, all Shinji wants from the white-haired girl is to make a way to the base in Tenshou Country. And at this rate, she cannot be expected to be an asset from the other side. So, he would rather take her with him, in case he is attacked from behind when he defeats the other clones or the original. Leaving her behind might be safer for Shinji and the others.
[Freri. All we need for “Corruption” is the original of this child, right?]
[I’ll take care of her first. We’ll find a way to go directly to Tenshou Country with Iris. Shinji takes care of the other things]
Shinji stands up in front of the white-haired girl, who stares back at him with innocent eyes. Freri squats down to replace Shinji and wipes the white-haired girl’s mouth clean with a handkerchief. The white-haired girl is quiet and does as she is told, and looks as if Freri is taking care of a big child who needs a lot of help.
[You look like a parent and child...]
[I’m just educating her. I don’t treat her like a child]
[I know. I’m just making a joke. If you’re going to educate her, you’re going to have to teach her how to talk to me. It’s hard for me to talk to you the way I do now]
[...this is good enough]
The reason why the white-haired girl seems to be attached to Freri is because she was suddenly released from the brainwashing-like education and has no one else to rely on. Freri takes care of the white-haired girl because she is of use to her. Shinji’s jokes are also made because he understands this relationship.
[I’ll leave the detailed education to you so you can do whatever you want]
[Hmm]
After hearing the brief understanding, Shinji leaves the room. There are still countless things to consider. Shinji’s mind is occupied with thoughts to increase the success rate of rescuing his foster parent as much as possible.
