Kaiju Slaying For Death And Profit Ch 37
Good evening y'all, sorry for taking so long. And for not putting up the poll for the next side story.
Boy this last week was a complete shitshow on my end.
Blegh.
But you're not here to hear me complain. I have chapter! Fresh off the press, as it were.
It may be a little rough. I've done several editing passes and I think it's presentable.
A thing to keep in mind, to those who will feel this is out of character for Asuka. You'd be correct for canon Asuka, but this Asuka has had ups and downs, and has been thoroughly humbled. Not to mention, she has not had the same experiences that shattered her canon self. And has, through hard experience, been forced to grow, both as a Pilot and a person.
Just something to keep in mind while reading the chapter.
Okay, longwinded explanation over. Have chapter, I hope you enjoy.

Asuka stared at the ceiling in the besieged fortress of tidiness and cleanliness that was her room, in Misato’s mess of an apartment.
She liked the woman, but by God, Katsuragi Misato was a complete mess.
She truly didn’t know what Kaji saw in Misato.
With a start, Asuka realized it had been months since she’d thought of the man.
Yes, before arriving in Tokyo-3, Asuka had done her best to use the feminine whiles of her genetically superior, young and nubile body to charm the dreamy older man. But after arriving…she’d been so preoccupied with everything.
With making up for the utter failure that was her debut fight.
With catching up to the big oaf.
With becoming a better pilot.
It had left her no time whatsoever to think about pursuing her amorous goals.
She had to be the best, the greatest hope for mankind, before she could pursue the next step on her journey of being an adult.
Except…except Shinji was there already.
Shinji was widely recognized as the best Pilot at NERV, not only in overall ability, but by the number of Angel kills notched in his belt, with Asuka a distant second.
With the showing the Sixth put up on his own debut battle, Asuka may well have been relegated to third place as far as piloting ability went.
By what she’d witnessed two weeks ago, it wasn’t only in their abilities as a Pilot that Shinji had succeeded where Asuka had failed. The way the analyst, whose name she later learned was Ibuki Maya, had all but worshipped him, the way she moved against him…it showcased familiarity.
That was far from the first time they…no, what they were doing hadn’t merely been fucking, Asuka knew what that looked like.
What Asuka had seen was not the first time they made love.
And then there was Rei!
So, even in that realm, Shinji had beaten Asuka.
Except…Asuka had literally stopped trying, she hadn’t pursued Kaji since shortly after landing in Japan. She hadn’t even thought of Kaji in months, beyond occasionally wondering what his new job as liaison between NERV and NATO entailed.
Juxtaposing her completely forgetting about the man she supposedly loved, against the care, and tenderness, and possessiveness she saw as Shinji and Rei and Maya made love together…well, maybe she hadn’t truly been in love with Kaji as much as she thought she’d been.
Maybe she hadn’t been as much of an adult as she thought she’d been.
Maybe he hadn’t been wrong when he’d called her a child, at least, not as much as she’d thought he’d been.
Asuka found this realization far from welcome.
She wanted…no, she needed to talk to someone, get some help working through her thoughts and the confusing mess of her feelings on the subject. But who?
Certainly not Misato, the woman was under enough pressure from her job that the moment she got home she put herself into a drunken stupor.
Hikari was out, she’d just go on a rant about Shinji being indecent.
Which left…which only really left Rei.
But…wasn’t it shameless to try and speak to Rei about her and her boyfriend’s amorous relationship with Maya?
But…But Asuka had no one else. And Rei…Rei was one of the few people who even tolerated Asuka.
Plus, how would she even breach the subject? ‘Hey, I couldn’t help but see you and your boyfriend fucking the cute analyst, how did he manage that, pray tell? Think he could give me tips?’
Asuka huffed and turned over so she could bury her face on her pillow. Ugh! That would never work!
Or, well, that was Rei, that was probably the only way it would work.
But…but just showing up to their apartment would be so awkward.
And trying at school wouldn’t work, both Rei and Shinji had taken a sabbatical from school to recover from the last Angel attack. Though, considering what Asuka had seen Shinji doing with his legal guardian…
Asuka shook her head, feeling her face heating up and rubbing her thighs together as she remembered…Maybe she could go to Shinji’s apartment and ask to speak with Rei?
Asuka stopped squirming and jumped to her feet on her bed.
No! She was thinking too small! She wasn’t some blushing squirming maiden! She was Asuka Langley Sohryu!
Asuka Langley Sohryu did not crawl into someone else’s apartment and beg! Asuka Langley Sohryu charged through the opposition! Asuka Langley Sohryu used her superior intellect, genetics, and immense good looks along with her impeccable intellect to get what she wanted!
In short! First thing tomorrow morning, Asuka Langley Sohryu would go on the warpath!

I groaned as I came, resisting the urge to shove Maya’s head down and grind her nose into my pubes. I did end up pushing her a couple inches further down my shaft, reveling in the wet heat of her mouth. The little nerd was drawing geometric patterns on the underside of my cock with her tongue as she sucked.
Which, if I wasn’t busy filling her mouth with my semen, I would probably find funny.
Convincing Maya to file the paperwork to give Rei and I a short vacation from school was absolutely the best idea ever.
I had spent that entire time with one of my girls either kneeling between my legs, bent over a table, chair, or couch, bouncing on my lap, in the shower with me, or just sitting on my leg while we cuddled. The muscles of my back and shoulders unclenching for the first time in…I did not know how long, the feeling of stress sloughing off me was indescribable.
My dick stopped throbbing, but that didn’t mean Maya stopped her ministrations, the suction stothe sensation almost making me go cross-eyed.
“Y-You’re incredible, Maya.” I groaned, as she popped off my member, then met my eyes and opened her mouth to show my semen coating her tongue. She then closed her mouth and noisily swallowed, until she could open her mouth to show it was empty.
My cock twitched, I had literally superhuman endurance and virility, but without sexual calibration, I was not completely capable of immediately rising for another round.
Morning blowjobs were the best.
I pondered the deep things in life as I caressed Maya’s cheek and ran my hand through her hair. My heart doing utterly unmanly things as she nuzzled into my palm and kissed my wrist while looking adoringly up at me.
“I made breakfast.” Rei said, stepping into the room. She blinked, took one look at Maya’s position relative to me, then tilted her head. “I don’t mind joining, but the food will get cold.”
I chuckled as Maya giggled. “We can continue after breakfast.” I said, standing up and stretching, secretly enjoying the way that Rei’s and Maya’s eyes ran over my body as I did. “Guess I’ll toss something on, we should probably air out the room a bit.”
Maya blushed. “Can’t we just light a candle or something?”
I snorted. “It’s not like people on the street will smell your love juices.”
“Mister Shinji!” She whined, and I planted a kiss on the top of her head.
“Breakfast now, pout adorably later.” I chuckled, giving her cute derriere a light spank, then put on some clothes.
I’d do the whole ‘be naked all the time’ thing, but the security detail might get suspicious if I closed the curtains all the time.
They didn’t seem to mind me doing that in my bedroom, and intermittently with the rest of the apartment, but better safe than sorry.
Breakfast was somewhat overcooked omelet, too crunchy bacon, and slightly burnt toast. A vast improvement over Rei’s previous attempts. I gave her proper praise and headpats.
I was trying to determine what I should do with the rest of the day, by which I meant deciding on the order that ‘be balls deep in my girls intermittently throughout the day’ would happen, when the door banged open. “Okay ya big oaf! Rise and shine we’re doing an activity!”
I vanished my laspistol back into my pocket dimension and scowled. “Asuka, what the hell?”
“You can’t just be shut up in your apartment for two weeks!” Asuka declared, placing her hands on her hips in feminine disapproval. “It’s not healthy!”
“The fuck I can’t!” I growled.
“You need some sunlight you doofus!”
“The sun is a deadly laser! It gives skin cancer!”
“We have sunscreen!”
“What am I a woman!?”
“You’re coming with me! That’s final!” Asuka declared.
“The hell I am! I have a legal guardian and everything!” I said haughtily. “Maya, tell her what’s what!”
“Have fun!” Maya said with a wave and a cherubic smile.
“Et tu, Maya!?” I gasped at her sudden betrayal.
In my distraction, Asuka had wrangled Rei, prompted her to grab my hand, then pushed the much more petite girl toward the door, forcing me to keep pace. “We are going out and having fun! No more brooding in your apartment!”
“But I like brooding! It’s practically all I do!” I denied.
“Too bad! Have some sunlight!”
“HISS!”

Here we observe one of the famed cat cafés of Tokyo. The native titular animals prowl around, seeking to beguile the common migrating guests, so the guests would shower them with praise and affection, while the overseer watches ready to protect her charges.
Yet today it seems the overseer is outmatched. She watches, yes, but frozen by the sheer presence of the pack of apex predators that have entered her domain. If they were to choose to become belligerent, there is nothing she can do to them, and she knows it.
However, the cats are unfazed. They, perhaps correctly, understand that even if they are not the apex predator in this situation, they can still have the upper hand through cunning and correct target management.
Look there; the Redheaded One sits sullenly in the booth, without a pussy to her name. The cats instinctually know that this one is a hugger, one who will squeeze them tightly in a desperate outlet for her overbearing yearning for affection. Perhaps one of them would go to her later once she has calmed down, but for the moment they give the redhead a wide berth.
The Big Burly One sat opposite her, a pussy resting on his lap. The cats can sense that this One, the largest and most dangerous of the four, was the Leader and sent a single representative to appease him. While their finely honed senses push them away from a clear and present danger, they still understand that avoiding him completely would invite destruction.
The Freckled One, a classic example of the girl next door sat next to him, stroking the pussy on his lap. Normally, the cats would rain affection on this girl. One that clearly overflowed with affection and could even be seduced into sneaking them treats. On a normal day, a trio of cats would happily surround her, bodies purring like a motor engine of contentment. Yet nature is a curious beast, the cats can sense there is something wrong with the Freckled One. They can smell the mental wounds that afflict her and thus give her the space she needs to heal, happy to let her come to them.
Finally, the Pale Blue-Haired One. An odd case, with a coloring that spoke of mutation, or the sledgehammer that was manmade bioengineering, at its natural state this would repel the cats. Her inhumanity and stillness would blare out to the cats like a siren. But humanity is infectious, and this specimen has been taken under the wing of the Big Burly One and thus has undergone extensive rehabilitation. So, the cats pile onto her, seeking to aid the current Apex Predator in his endeavor of injecting humanity into the inhuman, their excitement for guests all overflowing onto the only safe target, drowning the Pale Blue-Haired One in pussy. The sheer amount causing the girl to flush bright red from overheating, but she cannot resist the affection, and thus, fails to defend herself from the impending heat stroke.
Marvelous.
And now, we transition to the Overseer. To get a more immediate and intimate reaction to the proceedings.

Misao did not know what to do, her seven months working at Neko Haus Cat Café had not prepared her for the saviors of mankind to come through the door and ask for a booth!
“No fair!” The redheaded foreign Pilot said in flawless Japanese. “How come your side gets all the cats, stupid Shinji!?”
“I’m just built different.” The male Pilot, Shinji said, petting the fat tabby cat laying on his lap and setting it to purring.
“I don’t speak cat.” The normal looking girl said.
The blue haired Pilot made a noise.
“You okay in there, Rei?” Shinji asked.
“It’s a little warm, but I don’t dislike it.” Rei said, not moving.
“No fair!” The redhead repeated. “When I tried picking one up they all scratched me!”
“You’re just too intense, Asuka.” The normal girl said.
“Teach me Hikari!” Asuka begged.
“I…Okay look, Shinji is just relaxing, and he’s really warm, a cat wandered over that liked that and jumped on his lap. Easy enough.” Hikari explained. “Rei…Okay Rei is just weird, no offense.”
“None taken.” Rei assured her.
“She is also warm, but she uhh…she’s pretty still, and that lured cats to her, I guess.”
“I am calm!” Asuka yelled angrily.
Shinji snorted. “You sure are Asuka. You sure are.”
“What’s that supposed to mean!?” Asuka snapped.
“With how calm you are, I wouldn’t be surprised if you die of a heart attack before you reach your thirties.” Shinji said blandly.
“Why you!”
As the argument devolved into shouting, Misao tried to work up the nerve to go to the table and deliver their drinks.
Rei gained a few more cats before she managed.
“E-Excuse me?” She whimpered, the argument cutting out immediately the instant she arrived. “Y-Y-Y-Your d-drinks?”
She felt her face heating up, why did she have to embarrass herself before the literal heroes of the whole world by stuttering!?
“Yes, thank you.” Shinji said with a smile that made Misao swoon, her face feeling like it was actively burning.
“So uhh, three coffees and a hot chocolate?” Misao asked.
Shinji raised his hand. “Hot chocolate here.”
That surprised Misao, she’d have expected the hot chocolate to go to one of the girls.
“Why the hell would you come to a café and ask for hot chocolate?” Demanded Asuka.
“Well first, you dragged me here.” Shinji said, changing the way he was petting the cat and making it purr louder. “And second of all, coffee tastes like distilled regret, why anyone would drink it willingly is beyond me.”
“Mostly the caffeine.” Rei said, sipping her coffee.
“Speaking of cats,” Shinji said out of nowhere. “Where’s Kaworu?”
Asuka sighed. “Out volunteering at soup kitchens and helping old ladies with their groceries or some shit.”
“Wow Asuka, that sounded like you almost tried.” Shinji said in a deadpan.
“Hey, that was an exact quote from his handler!” Asuka defended.
“Wow that…that’s actually pretty sad.” Hikari murmured.
Shinji grunted.
Misao dragged her feet as long as she could but nonetheless walked out of earshot of the conversation. She continued to weigh tables, eventually relaxing enough to almost forget that the Evangelion Pilots were at the café, drinking coffee and hot chocolate and petting cats.
And arguing, Shinji and Asuka seemed to do that a lot.
Suddenly something changed, Misao didn’t see what, but Hikari looked ready to cry and was motioning as if to stand.
“No!” Asuka yelled, then ran to the nearest cat that hadn’t piled onto Rei and picked it up, much to its very vocal indignation. It yowled and hissed and scratched Asuka as it attempted to squirm out of her grasp, Asuka bore its hostility stoically just long enough to drop the cat onto Hikari’s lap, where it immediately stilled, its back arched and hackled raised as it hissed at Asuka.
“There!” She said with a triumphant smile. “You’re not allowed to leave while a cat is on your lap, Café rules!”
Shinji scowled. “I…don’t think that’s actually a rule though?”
“Shut up, you’re not helping!”
As the two continued to argue and Hikari settled back down as she pet the cat that was making itself comfortable in her lap, she turned to Kinzo, the owner of the café. “What do we do? That’s not a rule in this café but...”
“This is what you do.” Kinzo said confidently as he grabbed a permanent marker and walked to the sign that listed the rules of Neko Haus Cat Café, and wrote the rule that Asuka had made up on the spot, along with the line ‘Eva Pilot enforced.’
He also walked to the table, spoke quietly for a few seconds, then stepped back and took a picture, before returning to the counter, holding the small portable camera as if it held a priceless treasure. “This will make a wonderful poster.”
Misao blinked.
This is why Kinzo was in charge, the man just knew what to do.
He was a genius even.
At the table, Hikari made a high-pitched sound. “Asuka! It’s purring! It’s purring! Eeeeeeee!”
Misao felt her heart go out to the pouting, catless redheaded Pilot. She was far too wound up for a cat to feel comfortable approaching her.
At the table, one more cat joined the pile on Rei, who collapsed under the weight and thumped onto the table.
The cats did not leave.
Shinji sighed.

Asuka sat in Shinji’s apartment, she cradled the foreign soda she had been given, her heart hammering as Maya gently coaxed what the day had entailed out of Rei. Shinji had gone to his room to take a shower.
Rei made her report, her delivery livelier than when Asuka had first met her, more animated, she still needed to be led into giving the right details, but she no longer spoke like a robot. Just like someone that wasn’t very good at speaking.
The phone rang, and Maya went to pick it up, she didn’t come back for several minutes, her voice floating to them from deeper in the apartment.
Asuka felt her heart attempting to hammer out of her chest as she searched for the right words to use.
“Wait a little longer.” Rei said quietly.
“Eh?”
Rei looked at her without shifting her expression, she spoke just as softly. “Wait a little longer.”
Not understanding, Asuka kept her silence, after the longest minute in recent memory, Rei fiddled with something under the table before placing a remote on the table and saying. “Okay, we’re good to talk now.”
Asuka blinked. “What?”
“Shinji has suborned the surveillance we’re under. You looked like you wanted to talk about something important, so I wanted to make sure we had enough footage for a natural loop. We can’t abuse it, but we should be able to have a conversation without too much worry.”
Asuka blinked again. “What?”
“You wanted to ask me something?” Rei continued, unphased.
Asuka’s mouth flapped open and closed, her heart hammering as she felt her face turning hot. She then took a deep breath and set her face in a scowl. “I saw what you and Shinji and Maya did, at NERV HQ’s infirmary.”
Rei’s stare remained even and unphased. “And?”
Asuka closed her eyes. “And…I…I don’t know.”
“You don’t know?” Rei asked, tilting her head.
“I didn’t plan for anything after I said that.” Asuka admitted, forcing herself to speak. “I…I want it. What you three have. I want it, and I don’t know how to get it. And I…I want to know how to get it. I thought I wanted Mister Kaji but, but I haven’t thought of him in months so I guess I didn’t want him as much as I thought I did, but then I saw you and Maya, and Shinji, and, and…and I want that, I want to not feel so alone anymore, I want to feel wanted, and enjoyed, and desired, and loved, and…”
Asuka was very surprised when Rei sat on her lap, straddling her and crossing her arms behind her head, Rei’s breath tickling her lips and nose. Her ruby eyes spearing into Asuka’s. “So…you want to join us?”
Asuka’s mouth flapped like a fish, her face bright red. “I…I don’t know.”
Rei hummed. “I like you, Asuka.” Asuka twitched as Rei touched her cheek, then ran her palm down her neck and over her clothes, around her breast as she began to caress her belly and hips, the contact making not entirely uncomfortable things to happen in Asuka’s stomach. “You’re fiery, and pretty, and you take good care of yourself. I do think you’d make an interesting expression when you orgasm.”
Asuka choked.
“But I’m not sure.” Rei said, slipping her hand underneath Asuka’s shirt and caressing her skin directly. “I wouldn’t mind, but you’d need to submit.”
“S-Submit?” Asuka asked, her hands having taken a hold of Rei’s wrist, but she couldn’t bring herself to push the pale girl away.
“Yes.” Rei said, her lips having gotten tantalizingly close to Asuka’s. “You wouldn’t just be with me, or with Maya, or with Shinji. You’d be with all of us, and Shinji is in charge.” Asuka hissed as Rei’s soft, cool palm settled over her breast. “He gives Maya and I a lot of latitude, a lot of freedom. But both Maya and I understand instinctively that what he says goes. You lack that instinct, you want to have your way no matter what, Shinji would eventually be forced to correct you, and he would, but you would resent that. That would cause friction.”
Asuka found herself scowling, Rei’s hand on her tit all but forgotten. “Do you think me a child!?”
“No, I think you are stubborn.” Rei said flatly. “Stubborn and willful, this has served you well, but Shinji is much more stubborn than you are, and he is significantly more willful. You cannot control him, the best you can do is steer him. Only through submission can you guide him. And I don’t know if you can do that.”
“I can do anything!” Asuka growled, then hissed as Rei’s hand tightened on her breast.
“This isn’t a decision you will make lightly, or because you want to win an argument.” Rei chastised. “There is a place for you here, with Shinji, and Maya, and me. It is a warm place, a happy place, a pleasurable place. But it is not a place you can bend and break to fit you.”
Asuka gasped when Rei closed the distance between them and pressed her lips gently against Asuka’s, making her eyes go wide. She opened her mouth in surprise and found Rei’s tongue slipping between her lips to poke and prod at her own tongue.
Her heartrate spiked, she felt the organ trying to jump out of her ribcage as her stomach roiled with a new feeling, one of relief and soaring hope. Clumsily, hungrily, she went to kiss Rei back, but she pulled back, leaving Asuka’s lips tingling, feeling a heady mix of hunger and frustrated denial. A whine slipping past her lips.
“There is a place for you here, Asuka.” Rei repeated. “And for Hikari, and Kaede, if they want it. There could even be a place for Ritsuko, if she were less proud. But you can only claim your place here if you are willing to submit. Shinji and Maya and I will give you much love, and you won’t have to want to feel desired, you will know you are, Shinji lets Maya and I know he desires us often, and Maya and I let each other know the same.” Rei leaned forward and daintily licked Asuka’s lips. “I do think that it’ll be good for you, Shinji will give you everything you need, like he gave it to me, and to Maya. So think about what it is you want, and if it’s the same as what you need, and come claim your place, but don’t make us wait too long, okay?”
With that, Rei extricated her hand from beneath Asuka’s shirt and sat down at her chair again. “Maya is coming back. I’ll explain things to her later. For now, act like we didn’t discuss anything important, I’m about to stop the device that interrupts the surveillance.”
Before Asuka could say anything, Rei pressed the button, then took a sip of her soda.
Asuka was left frustrated and with her face feeling very hot as Maya came back.
“Sorry! Work.” She said by way of explanation. “So, what happened after you fell over because of all those cats?”
“Well.” Rei said, cool as a cucumber. “Shinji started removing cats until he could help me up, he then put several of the cats on him so they wouldn’t feel left out.”
The rest of the conversation was a blur. Asuka did eventually make her short way to Misato’s apartment, made some small talk with the drunk older woman, and navigated around the garbage bags enough to get to her room.
Once there, she closed the door, went to her bed, plopped herself face down, buried her face tight against her pillow, and squealed while kicking her feet like the schoolgirl she was.
