Anila kept nagging until Hoshino Yui saw Zero before she finally stopped. Asuka, on the other hand, seemed to have gotten used to the woman's talkative nature and obediently held the girl's hand, nodding repeatedly, though it was unclear whether she actually understood what she was saying.

"Wow, that was pretty quick. Looks like it was resolved smoothly?"

"Yes, thanks to you all, otherwise I might not have known that I had done something wrong for a long time."

Zero raised his hand and greeted them in a nonchalant manner, but Hoshino Yui's attention was not on him, but on Hikari and the First Generation wearing a cape next to him.

"As long as the result is good, no matter what."

Hikari, acting like someone who'd been through it all, patted Hoshino Yui on the shoulder, as if comforting her or perhaps reminiscing about something. The girl thanked him, then looked at the First Generation. Before she could speak, the First Generation spoke up:

"Nice to meet you, Ms. Hoshino. You can call me Man. I've heard of you many times, but it's great to finally meet you in person."

"I'm flattered... Compared to the Ultra Brothers, what's my problem?"

The first generation smiled gently, and then, without delay, got straight to the point:

"Actually, I came to find you on behalf of Ace. Ever since he met you, he has been talking about bringing you to the Land of Light to teach you how to use your power. But he just happens to be away right now, so I came to ask if you would be willing to come over when you have time."

"Huh? Really...? Of course I'd love to! To be honest, in my world, the Ultra Brothers are my childhood heroes!"

"Really? I think everyone would be happy to be able to give your childhood courage."

The first generation didn't care how their deeds were transmitted to other universes, nor did he care in what form those deeds were spread. In his view, if their existence could give courage and enthusiasm to the weak, that would be excellent.

The First Hokage smiled and took a step back, giving up his seat. He had clearly said what he wanted to say and left the rest to Zero and Hikari to discuss their personal matters. Seeing this, Hoshino Yui nodded, took out a specially made large invitation, and handed it over, saying:

"Actually, I came to the Land of Light today to discuss my upcoming marriage with Sagitali. I'd like to invite some friends over. If you have time, you can come and visit. Also, I'd like to ask you to help me find out where the new generation is. I can't find anyone by myself."

"Oh my god! Really? You two are getting married at such a young age?! Especially Hoshino, you're not even a hundred years old yet."

Zero picked up the invitation and immediately called out, perhaps because the girl's intense light power made him subconsciously treat Hoshino Yui as less than human. However, Hikari calmly retorted:

"Zero, have you forgotten that Ms. Hoshino is human?"

"...Yeah, haha~ Anyway, congratulations!"

Zero scratched his head awkwardly, then chuckled and patted the girl's shoulder a few times, changing the subject. Hikari, on the other hand, examined the accompanying spatial wormhole with great interest and added:

"I will help you get in touch with the new generation, because many of them have mentioned your name in light of what you did in the past, Ms. Hoshino."

Home is where the heart is: Chapter 637 As your mother, I have a responsibility to you.

Hoshino Yui went back in time and changed some things, and this could not be kept from the Land of Light, since Zero was the one who experienced it firsthand.

However, because Hoshino Yui had a good way of doing things, Hikari only reminded her not to interfere with history too frequently after bringing up the matter, and did not delve too deeply into it.

"Leaving aside the other members of the new generation, Grigio is in the Land of Light. Would you like to go and see her?"

Zero crossed his arms and gestured to Hoshino Yui. It was one thing if the others had just experienced some changes, but Grigio suddenly appeared as a soul. Although Asahi said it was her sister whom she knew, it still really startled everyone present.

"Let's meet before we leave, but before that, Hikari-senpai, do you know any quick ways to give Asuka the ability to shrink instantly?"

“Miniaturization? No problem. I’ve seen Asuka’s test report. There is indeed a way to do it, after all, it’s based on you, Ms. Hoshino.”

Hikari gestured to the girl's body. The power of Unit-01 that he had brought back earlier had been thoroughly studied. Unit-01's power was a variant of the power of light, but in the end, it was still a kind of light. Asuka was born from Unit-01, so she naturally also possessed the potential of light.

"We could try removing the anti-radiation device from Asuka and letting her bathe in the power of plasma sparks, thus directly converting her into light. This way, she could gather most of her power and transform into a human like us."

Hikari spoke casually, but Zero, standing nearby, was startled:

"Wait a minute, this doesn't sound very reliable. Hoshino's light has already taken shape, so she's naturally fine, but Asuka..."

"Haha, Zero, don't forget, Asuka has already been exposed to Absolut's Spark Tower radiation. Her body is stronger than you think."

Unit-04, instead of listening attentively to Zero and Hikari's discussion, looked at Hoshino Yui and asked:

"Doesn't Mom like how I look now?"

"How could that be? It's just that your daily life has become more convenient after you gained the ability to shrink. You know I have another body, don't you want my other body to hug you too?"

"want to!"

"That's right. Although it may not change so quickly, I hope you can be less negative. As your mother, I will always be by your side and I will never dislike you."

"..."

Asuka nodded silently, and then was pulled by Hoshino Yui and flown towards Hikari's research institute.

"Let's do it in my research institute. The data will be more accurate that way. Also, the alien race bathing in plasma sparks is a good record sample. After all, so far, only our Land of Light has evolved into the form of light."

Zero followed enthusiastically beside them, watching the two flying together with their distinctly similar styles, and said with a smile:

"Hey, Hoshino, when are we going to have a match? I finally mastered the Ultimate Glowing Form a while ago."

"Sure, let's spar after my wedding. I've gotten a lot stronger from my past adventures."

Hoshino Yui happily agreed, and the four of them flew into Hikari's research institute. Inside the brightly lit institute, there were many screens that the girl couldn't quite understand, and there were also samples of the Zeta Riser and Ultra Medals nearby.

Following her senses, the girl looked over and saw the medal on Unit-01, which seemed to have been thoroughly studied by Hikari.

"Alright, I've opened the dome of the research institute and also activated a filter to weaken the radiation of the plasma sparks. Let's proceed step by step."

Hikari quickly set up the equipment beside her, and Hoshino Yui looked up at the sound and could see the artificial sun, the Plasma Spark Tower, not too far away.

"Asuka, come on, are you ready to remove the protective layer? If you feel uncomfortable, tell me immediately. Don't push yourself, okay?"

Asuka has always worn special protective equipment to shield herself from direct radiation from the plasma spark tower, but now that this equipment is being actively deactivated, Hoshino Yui is honestly a little nervous.

"Yes, I'm sure I can succeed."

"...That's not what I meant."

Asuka seemed completely oblivious to Hoshino Yui's meaning, but Hikari gave the girl a reassuring gesture, indicating that with real-time monitoring in place, no unexpected situations would arise.

The girl sighed, patted Asuka's head, and then turned off the device.

"Well……"

Upon first experiencing the radiation of the plasma spark, a powerful and infectious force began to surge into Asuka's body, actively stimulating her physical body to begin evolving. The power of the plasma spark even far exceeded Asuka's own evolutionary abilities.

The crimson armor was gradually being stained by white light. Asuka had actually experienced this feeling once before. On her home planet Absolut, the radiation from the more brutal artificial Spark Tower, even after special treatment, caused pain several times more intense than today.

Thanks to her previous experience, Asuka's body quickly adapted to the illumination of the Plasma Spark Tower, and her huge flesh and blood body began to instinctively move towards the form of light. The whole process went much more smoothly than Hoshino Yui had expected.

After Asuka's light subsided, Hikari casually handed her a Zeta Riser and said:

"I've recorded the method for transforming into a human inside. Try activating it; it shouldn't be difficult."

Taking the sublimator, Asuka subconsciously glanced at Hoshino Yui. After a moment of silence, the girl finally realized what was happening:

"What's wrong? Are you afraid of failure? It's okay, just try it with confidence."

"No, it's just... I don't know what to make it look like. Mom, can I have some ideas?"

The girl paused for a moment, but still nodded in agreement.

"Um, okay."

As she spoke, Hoshino Yui emerged from the cockpit, floating in mid-air and standing in front of Asuka:

“This is what I look like, then this is what I look like as a man, and this is what Sagita looks like.”

Asuka's appearance gradually changes, transitioning from the look of a young girl to that of Sagita. Hoshino Yui wanted Asuka's appearance to be inspired by both of them.

"I see."

Asuka nodded, staring intently at the girl's body, and pressed the Riser. Light spread across her body, then gradually contracted, transforming into a petite human form that appeared before Hoshino Yui.

Home is where the heart is: Chapter 638 Sunrise and Beautiful Sword

Hoshino Yui's male form, like Sagitali, has black hair. Perhaps referencing this, Asuka's form also has black eyes and black hair, but her face has a mixed-race look, making her seem more like Sagitali.

only……

"It looks a little smaller than I expected."

The girl reached out and hugged the little girl, who looked no more than four or five years old, her expression slightly subtle. The human figure constructed by Little Shimmer looked older than it.

"Mommy~"

"Okay, when we get back, I'll introduce you to your other mother and your little shining sister. We'll live together from now on."

Hoshino Yui touched Asuka's hair. This child seemed to be genderless, perhaps because she wasn't affected by the pilot during her evolution? At least in her simple examination, she found neither male nor female characteristics.

"Asuka, didn't you differentiate into different genders?"

"Why differentiate by gender? Is it necessary?"

"..."

This sudden question surprised Hoshino Yui for a moment. She really couldn't say for sure. Strictly speaking, it didn't seem necessary. Moreover, with EVA's evolutionary ability, if a direction was chosen, it should be able to quickly construct a suitable gender.

"Okay, whatever makes you happy."

Having decided to stop dwelling on the issue of gender, Hoshino Yui no longer cared. After all, the only reason she made Asuka take on a human form was to make it easier to live with her. Perhaps for Hoshino Yui herself, the human body was an obsession, but for Asuka, it was just a useful incarnation.

"Hahaha~ Hoshino, in the human world, wouldn't you be considered pregnant out of wedlock?"

"Pfft... Zero! If you can't speak properly, then don't speak!"

Zero's sudden remark completely overwhelmed Hoshino Yui, causing her to feel a rare surge of shame and glare at him fiercely. This reaction from the girl naturally made Zero happy as well.

If Unit-01 hadn't already raised its fist the size of a clay pot, Zero would have given you a good beating.

Hoshino Yui glared at Zero, who was switching forms and running away, but ignored him. Instead, she hugged Asuka and bowed to Hikari.

"Hikari, thank you for your help, otherwise it would have been quite difficult."

"It's alright. Rather than that, could I collect a little more power? Your Unit-01 seems to have evolved again."

"Sure, sure, it's no big deal."

After lingering at Hikari's research institute for a while, Hoshino Yui carried Asuka back to the insertion bolt and left alone, heading towards the training ground that Hikari had pointed out to him.

Asuka was sitting in the girl's lap, looking around, and even got up to touch the pair of neural connection devices on the girl's head.

"Mother."

"what?"

"Can I let my mom drive like this too?"

Asuka's words made Hoshino Yui subconsciously turn her head, meet her gaze, and ask, somewhat unable to contain herself:

"After you regained consciousness, didn't you dismantle the cockpit?"

"It's been taken down, but it can be put back together."
