EVA: Shinji Ikari Returns from the Dragon Clan

Chapter 117 115. The truth gradually revealed

After chatting with the teacher in the office for a while, we finally agreed on Shinji Ikari's future school.

The further studies seminar ended.

The two people came out and started chatting. Akagi Ritsuko looked a little surprised.
"Shinji-kun, you actually chose this kind of school for further studies. Do you plan to go to university in the future?"

"Yes, otherwise I always feel like something is missing."

In another world, he is studying in college.

Unfortunately, there is no Kassel Academy that specifically recruits half-bloods, only the apostles that keep coming. But in life plans, academics are a very important thing. His initial idea was to skip a grade and complete his studies quickly, but now that Rei Ayanami is here, skipping a grade or something can wait, at least until the apostles are defeated.

That day shouldn't be far away.

"After all, the apostles are certainly important, but after defeating the apostles in the future, we still have to return to normal life, right?"

Ikari Shinji continued.

At this time, he noticed that Akagi Ritsuko seemed absent-minded about what he said, and couldn't help asking:
"Isn't that what Ms. Ritsuko thinks?"

"…Me too, of course."

It's a bit insincere.

Ikari Shinji thought.

It seems that defeating the apostle does not mean that everything is over. He has already recognized this reality. He does not know what will happen to the pilots at that time. Seeing that everyone is so secretive, it is definitely not a good thing.

After returning to the classroom.

It was Asuka's turn at the discussion.

When she was in Europe, she had already completed her studies and was admitted to university, so there was no need for any further education seminars. Misato Katsuragi came here just to go through the motions and help Rei Ayanami solve this issue.

"Shinji-kun, Asuka and I are going too."

The radiant Misato Katsuragi came over to say hello, and then went to the office with Asuka.

She is dressed very beautifully...

Shinji Ikari only now discovered some small details that he had not noticed before. It seemed that Akagi Ritsuko had dressed up for his promotion seminar today, a bit like the last time she dressed up to celebrate Katsuragi Misato's promotion to major. Her curly hair dyed golden flowed down her smooth forehead like waves. The blonde beauty had a tiny black mole at the corner of her eye, and she probably wore light makeup. He couldn't help but seriously compliment her.
"Ms. Ritsuko is dressed very fashionably today. Thank you very much."

"Thank you. I appreciate the compliment."

Ritsuko Akagi covered her mouth and smiled.

She wanted to wait for Misato Katsuragi to come out, and then leave with her friends.

The two boys who were trying to show their affection to her disappeared after Katsuragi Misato went to the office. It was really realistic. Speaking of which, Suzuhara Sakura has been receiving more and more letters recently.

I haven't seen that little girl for a long time.

The name "Shinji-niang" was only mentioned in letters, and after not hearing it in real life for a long time, it felt strange. Ikari Shinji was thinking about the letters he had written to Suzuhara Sakura before, and his intuition suddenly reminded him that someone was watching him, so he immediately looked back.

It's Rei Ayanami.

The two men looked at each other.

The last time he looked over, the girl nodded at him, but Shinji Ikari hesitated because of the thought in his mind and did not respond. The girl probably noticed this, so this time she looked over in confusion and asked him what his plans were for tonight. But at this time, Ritsuko Akagi was right next to him, so he could not respond, not to mention that he had not figured out the idea yet.

Noticing his gaze, Akagi Ritsuko sighed.
"Your relationship with her is getting better and better." Ikari Shinji nodded.

If we use more ambiguous words, he and Rei Ayanami are now in a relationship where they hug each other and sleep in the same bed. But there is one thing that he can't ignore. Thinking of the previous idea, he hesitated for a while, and finally spoke:
"I have a question that I hope Ms. Ritsuko can answer."

"Oh?"

She raised an eyebrow, "Tell me about it."

"I recently saw a photo of my mother and found that Ayanami looks a lot like my mother," Ikari Shinji paused, "What is the relationship between Ayanami and me?"

Maybe it would be better to ask the girl directly about this question.

But she would probably not say anything, like she didn't answer last time. So he chose to ask Ms. Ritsuko, who had answered his questions so far, though most of the time she only said part of it and kept the rest to herself, like a riddler.

Ritsuko Akagi stopped.

"Ayanami..."

She muttered something and sighed.

This is a very difficult question right at the beginning, Akagi Ritsuko thought. If it was other questions, she could still talk about it, but everything about Ayanami Rei is a secret among secrets. Even the prototype of this clone... Is it really okay to let Shinji know all this now? Maybe it would be better to leave the decryption work to others.

"Ms. Ritsuko, is this a secret that cannot be told?"

he asked considerately.

If that was the case, Shinji Ikari would not have continued to ask.

"That's not the case, I just don't want to talk about anything related to her."

I can't say whether I hate or dislike Rei Ayanami.

It was more like Asuka's disregard.

The blonde, who was ignoring the clone girl, sighed and said, "Ask Vice Commander Fuyutsuki. He'll tell you if you ask him."

Do not know why.

Ms. Ritsuko's words made Shinji Ikari feel like he was completing a mission in a game.

This NPC told you that she couldn't complete the task and you had to find another NPC to hand in the materials. However, Deputy Commander Dongyue? He had a good impression of the old man because he always looked kind and they would have a good conversation when they met. But would the old man tell him the truth? He was the deputy commander. From Miss Ritsuko's affirmative tone, it seemed that the old man knew everything about him even more than she did.

Akagi Ritsuko added:
"Don't worry, there won't be any problems even if you two go to bed together."

In terms of genes.

As the first person in charge, she already knew that Shinji's genes were being eroded by Unit-01. Moreover, Akagi Ritsuko suddenly thought that it would be a good choice for Rei Ayanami to be with him, but she didn't know how Commander Ikari would react at that time.

Shinji Ikari was very embarrassed.

He really wanted to say that it was not what he thought, Miss Ritsuko, but when the words came to his lips, he had to admit that he did have such thoughts about the girl.

As for spiritual platonic love or something like that, just let him go.

Ikari Shinji suddenly breathed a sigh of relief.

For a moment he thought he could go home, but things were obviously not over yet. But at least tonight, he could still go to the girl's place.
