EVA: Shinji Ikari Returns from the Dragon Clan

Chapter 134 132. Stagnant Corridor
The synchronization rate of Unit 2's pilot has dropped.

It should have been a confrontation between the two, but Rei Ayanami was still thinking about what happened before. In the report on the synchronization rate of the three people in the cockpit, Asuka's synchronization rate dropped slightly, and she noticed it at that time. The more you trust EVA, the higher the synchronization rate will be, and vice versa, the lower it will be, so she kindly said:

"Eva is the mirror of your own soul..."

"What a ridiculous thing to say."

Asuka, who was in a bad mood, interrupted her and said with her arms crossed,

"I don't want you to tell me about the synchronization rate. I just want to ask you, what did you mean by what you said at the hot spring last time?"

Asuka originally thought that it was her rival's surrender, but now she realizes that it might just be to let her down. It's too cunning. Could this doll-like girl be the type who looks innocent on the outside but is actually scheming?
There was a determination in her tone to get to the bottom of things.

This scene seemed like a replay of what happened between the two of them in the elevator long ago.

Rei Ayanami fell silent.

That day at the hot spring was after I defeated the Eighth Angel. Now I am the Tenth Angel. Thinking about it carefully, it has been two or three months since that day. I have developed to this point without realizing it.

That day will never come to pass with Ikari-kun.

Really sorry.

"…I don't have much time left."

Ayanami Rei whispered.

This was the first time she had confided her true feelings to Asuka, not to Ikari-kun who was whispering in her ear by the bed. If Ikari-kun knew about this, she didn't know how he would react.

I hope that Ikari-kun can live a warm and happy life even after losing me.

The German lady frowned.

"Hey, top student, are you suffering from some terminal disease?"

"..."

Ayanami Rei shook her head.

In the corridor at night, the incandescent lights of the hospital illuminate the white floor tiles. It is very quiet here. The voices of the two people talking echo in the corridor. The cold moonlight outside flows in and falls on Rei Ayanami's black school socks. There is a hint of inexplicable sadness on her slender body.

Asuka didn't get an answer, so she kept chasing after him.
"What happened then?"

The love rival still shook his head.

Asuka tutted in dissatisfaction. Facing such a stubborn guy, she had no good way. As for slapping him again... forget it. Her brows were twisted into a ball. What kind of terminal illness did this guy have? He didn't even want to talk about it. As pilots, it was no problem for them to invite the best doctor in the world.

When she was in Europe, she enjoyed the best medical services.

"Don't want to talk about it? Then leave it at that."

Then the German lady seemed to have thought of something, "So, you think you won't live long, so you're thinking about not being together with that idiot?"

Rei Ayanami fell silent.

Seeing her rival acquiesce, Asuka was actually amused by her thoughts.

These two people have become a couple now, and all kinds of intimate little actions can be seen under her nose. As a result, this guy still thought that he would never reach that day. When will that day be? Maybe the two of them have done many, many unsightly things behind her back.

It makes me sick just thinking about it!
Disgusting!!! "Well, that's it."

Asuka snorted coldly and turned to leave.

Finally, she understood the meaning of the words that day in the hot spring. Everything was clear and she no longer had any doubts. Next, she should let go of the person she loved and return to her normal life. She might be sad and upset, and her heart might be broken, but Asuka believed that she could make it through.

It's just a mere Shinji.

She still had Unit 2, so how could she possibly do something stupid and self-deprecating like Shinji said? She tried to raise her neck to prevent the moisture in her eyes from gathering, and strode forward.

But Rei Ayanami called her from behind.
"and many more."

"what happened again?"

Asuka turned around and pretended to be normal, but she didn't expect that Ayanami Rei's next words would immediately ignite her anger.

"I hope you can continue to stay with Ikari-kun." The girl said softly.

"…Are you planning to leave Shinji to me after you die?"

Asuka suddenly felt humiliated. What was this? Was it the pity of the winner to the loser? You two were so in love, so you used Shinji up and dumped him on her? Was her place a recycling station? And Shinji didn't like her, so what was the point of giving him to her?
“——What a joke!”

Asuka became angry.
"I don't need you to give in at all, don't underestimate me."

As soon as she finished speaking, she felt guilty. What the hell was going on? She was just taking her anger out on this guy. There was no point in getting angry at him. Asuka knew the main reason for her sadness, which was that Shinji didn't like her. Other things only made her more angry and sad.

If this guy doesn't live long...

In other words, Shinji will be alone again.

Then she will... Thinking of this, Asuka felt disappointed with herself again. She actually felt a little secretly happy from the bottom of her heart. This secret joy was so natural, but it was too humble. She didn't want to be like this. She was the most powerful trump card.

Not reconciled.

I am so unwilling to accept this.

How could you still have fantasies about Shinji after he told you that he didn't like you? You should have cut it off right away. Asuka thought to herself with gritted teeth, her heart seemed to be burning. She had never met such a person since she was a child. After flirting with you, she was still your lover for a week, and in the end she told you innocently that he didn't like you and liked another girl.

He is indeed a bad guy.

The German lady turned around and left, trying to leave a cool back. After learning the so-called truth, her mood did not improve, but worse. Her rival in love pitied her and even wanted to give her the person he liked as alms.

Ayanami Rei looked at her back.

Did I screw up... The pilot of Unit 2 really likes Ikari-kun, why would she reject him? After all, in the end, she is the one who is most likely to accompany Ikari-kun. It turns out that I still don't understand normal people's emotions. I have come this far with Ikari-kun and have done all kinds of intimate things, but there are still many things I don't understand. What a failure.

Finally she asked:

"You're not going to visit?"

"Don't go!"

Asuka left this sentence without even turning back.
