EVA: Shinji Ikari Returns from the Dragon Clan

Chapter 135 133. Asuka Returns to Normal
There was a squeak.

The door of the ward was pushed open.

Ikari Shinji looked over.

It was Rei Ayanami who walked in. Shinji Ikari, who was lying on the hospital bed in boredom, immediately felt the pain in his body go away and gave her a happy smile. The girl carefully sat down in a corner of the bed, then opened the lunch box she brought, and the aroma of the food inside filled the air.

"Ikari-kun, does it still hurt?" asked Rei Ayanami.

"It's OK. I'll be discharged from the hospital soon."

She handed over the lunch box and chopsticks.

Shinji Ikari took it and began to enjoy the meal made by Rei Ayanami. It was mostly vegetarian, with little meat, but he still ate it happily. After all, when you are in the hospital, there is nothing happier than having a girlfriend who comes to visit you every day and cooks for you.

He finished his meal quickly and returned the lunch box and chopsticks.

In these two days.

Shinji Ikari was lying on the hospital bed doing nothing.

The only consolation was that Rei Ayanami would come to visit him every day after school. The girl also thoughtfully prepared meals for him. Although Shinji Ikari's physical mobility was not seriously affected, she seemed to treat him as a seriously ill patient and was so attentive that even feeding him was no problem.

Although he could have lived a life of ease and comfort under the care of the girl, Shinji Ikari still didn't have the courage to do so and always ate by himself.

After dinner, Rei Ayanami would stay with him until the evening.

I heard that the three EVAs were still being repaired, and the progress was only satisfactory. Even the training of the pilots was temporarily suspended. Now the girl spent all her time with him after school. Ikari Shinji thought that this should have been the best time for the two to further develop their relationship, but unfortunately he was in the hospital.

The nurses will not come at this time unless the call bell is pressed.

Pity.

It's not easy to do those things here.

But just being with this girl is also a lot of fun. He put away his lustful thoughts, held the girl in his arms, and sniffed her hair. After getting used to the smell of LCL, he could no longer smell the blood, only the girl's own fragrance. I never get tired of seeing Rei Ayanami in her school uniform, but I also want to see her in other clothes from time to time.

His hand mischievously reached out to Rei Ayanami's belly, feeling the girl's warm body temperature. The air conditioning in the ward was turned on very high, making it comfortable.

This moment did not last long, as footsteps were heard outside the ward.

somebody is coming.

The two sweet people had to separate temporarily.

"——Brother Shinji."

What appeared outside the ward was a cute little face.

The person who came was Sakura Suzuhara.

It has been a long time since I met this little fan girl. In the past, they communicated through letters. When I saw her, Ikari Shinji was stunned for a moment, but then he immediately reacted and waved to her and smiled.

"Why are you here?"

"We're here to visit."

The voice that answered the question was that of her brother Suzuhara Touji, followed by Kensuke Aida and class leader Hikaru Toki.

It was a bit strange that I should not have told my classmates about my hospitalization these two days. I just asked for leave from school. I don’t know where they heard about it, but they came to visit me. Although it was a bit unexpected, it was normal for classmates to visit me.

Hikaru Tomoki followed at the back and took a look at the environment in the ward. Then she quickly noticed Rei Ayanami standing quietly. She couldn't help but ask:

"Hey, is Ayanami-san already here?"

"Ah."

Rei Ayanami nodded slightly. Even though she was the class monitor, the lively Hikaru Tomoki couldn't be friends with Rei Ayanami. On the contrary, she usually had the best relationship with Asuka who acted like a big lady.

Kensuke Aida asked:

"When will you be discharged from the hospital, Shinji? Do you want to hold a discharge celebration party?"

"I'm almost well now. I'll be discharged from the hospital in the next two days. Please spare me the celebration party."

Shinji Ikari said with a wry smile.

Celebration or something... He is not the little girl Suzuhara Sakura. When the little girl Suzuhara Sakura heard his answer, her originally cheerful look immediately collapsed.
"Eh? You're not going to have a celebration party? I still want to play with Shinji-nii."

"There will be plenty of opportunities for that kind of thing in the future."

He touched Suzuhara Sakura's head.

The little girl then became full of energy again.

The ward soon started chatting. Seeing that Shinji Ikari didn't look seriously injured, the others didn't do anything considerate to take care of the patient or let him rest more. Instead, they shared interesting things that happened in the school recently. The atmosphere was suddenly lively. Ayanami Rei next to him didn't interrupt much, but just looked at him quietly, with a soft look on her face.

Chatting and chatting.

At this time, Dong Mu Guang suddenly said:

"Asuka has been very sad lately."

The female class leader started with these words, and for some reason she looked at him with extreme suspicion, "She can't even eat, and she's listless when doing anything. Could it be that you, Ikari-san, have upset her?"

Shinji Ikari was also a little embarrassed.

But how should he explain this to his classmates? Emotional matters are too complicated. He had no choice but to admit the crime first, "It should be me..."

"It's you after all! No matter what, you have to coax the girl into submission."

Dong Mu Guang, who worked hard for her best friend, said with regret.

Before Ikari Shinji could say anything, Suzuhara Touji immediately curled his lips and said, "Class leader, you are such a hassle. Who cares if that young lady is hurt or not?"

"So you, this guy..."

There was a commotion over there, and the attention shifted away from the culprit, Ikari Shinji, and instead began to be directed at Suzuhara Touji, who did not understand girls' hearts at all.

Asuka...

He sighed inwardly.

Two days later, Shinji Ikari was finally discharged from the hospital.

There was no so-called discharge celebration, just going to school again as usual.

He also saw Asuka. What's worth mentioning is that Asuka seemed to have returned to her normal state, turning back into the proud German lady. Even when she saw him and Rei Ayanami on the road, she didn't show any strange color on her face. It only took her a few days to get over the sadness, which was not as serious as the squad leader Hikaru Tomoki said.

Shinji Ikari originally thought that she was upset about something, but it turned out that he was just thinking too much.

Maybe I should have explained this to her earlier.

he thought.

However, there are still many changes, such as Asuka is no longer with them on their way to and from school every day. Now he can have intimate interactions with Rei Ayanami openly. When Shinji Ikari and Rei Ayanami are riding the train, they look like a loving couple.

It's a new week already.

And the two commanders finally returned from the distant Antarctica.
