EVA: Shinji Ikari Returns from the Dragon Clan

Chapter 189 187. Wonderful Night (I)

When Shinji Ikari saw Asuka, he couldn't help but doubt whether everything he saw was real.

The always proud girl now looked like a broken doll in a toy store. She no longer had the domineering temperament of a young lady. On the way here, he had imagined how decadent Asuka would become. At most, she would be in a daze, sleeping after eating and eating after sleeping. But she couldn't be as terrible as she is now.

"Anyway, I leave it to you."

The woman from the Intelligence Department said,
"After guarding her for so many days, I can finally let her go. Living upstairs is not an excuse. This apartment is so dusty that it's uninhabitable. You can't even find a hotel to stay in if you go out. The apartment upstairs still has water and electricity. You can use whatever you want inside. Here is the key."

"Hey wait." Shinji Ikari said quickly, "Can you give her a bath?"

The woman glanced at him with a half-smile, then shook her head firmly.
“I never work overtime.”

After saying that, she turned and left.

No, sister, you are almost overflowing with the resentment of a corporate slave. Is this really okay? I'm not saying this is bad, but I'm really worried about the mental state of your colleagues. Are all the people in the Intelligence Department like this? Ikari Shinji complained in his heart. It seems that there are people from the Intelligence Department following him all the time, but they are all hiding it very well... Maybe the passerby who accidentally met his eyes was someone from the Intelligence Department.

The apartment where Asuka is temporarily living is basically without water and electricity.

Her clothes were scattered on the dark bathroom floor.

Shinji Ikari originally wanted to give the clothes to Asuka, but after picking them up, he realized that his idea might not work, because the clothes on the ground smelled bad and were covered with a lot of dust and dirty water. If Asuka wore them, it would be even worse.

He searched the apartment.

"I don't even have a change of clothes..."

As a last resort, Shinji Ikari chose to call Misato Katsuragi.

He kept the present situation short.

A few minutes later.

"Is that so?" Katsuragi Misato said seriously on the other end of the phone, "I'll be right there."

There is still some time before Miss Misato comes.

Ikari Shinji found a relatively clean blanket in the apartment and covered Asuka's naked body with it. He then hugged the girl and planned to move to the upper apartment where there was water and electricity.

During this process, Asuka did not move at all.

Like a dead fish.

Although her eyes were still blinking from time to time, she seemed completely immersed in her own world.

As soon as he went out, Shinji Ikari felt like he was holding a hot potato.

It's really hot. Think about it, you are holding a naked beautiful girl, and she is in her current state and can do whatever she wants to you. If someone sees you, you can't explain the suspicion on yourself even if you have eight mouths. Fortunately, there is no one else in this broken place except the woman from the Intelligence Department. Ikari Shinji carried Asuka to the apartment upstairs smoothly, and this time no one jumped out to ask him what he was doing.

The Intelligence Department's apartment is also simple, with air conditioning, a refrigerator, a sofa...

He turned on the air conditioner.

Asuka seemed to wake up a little after being stimulated by the cold air, but Shinji Ikari soon realized that it was his own illusion because she was still in the broken state.

Then the phone rang.

Miss Misato is about to arrive. A blue Renault sports car rushed to the bottom of the apartment building. The sun was shining brightly outside. Ikari Shinji put Asuka, who was like a dead fish, on the sofa, and then hurried down to guide Katsuragi Misato up. There were beads of sweat on the forehead of this urban beauty. It seemed that she rushed over as soon as she heard the news about Asuka.

"Where's Asuka?"

As soon as she got off the car, she looked aggressive, like a parent about to teach her child a lesson.
"Ms. Misato, what do you want to do?"

Shinji Ikari had to stop her.

"Need I say more, Shinji-kun? Of course I'll give her a good scolding. Seriously, it was just a drop in synchronization rate, but she almost died."

Do not know why.

When she said this, Misato Katsuragi's eyes suddenly became a little moist.

"Then don't go in..." Ikari Shinji shook his head, "I don't think Asuka wants to hear this right now, what do you think, Miss Misato?"

"……Too."

Katsuragi Misato was stunned. Does Asuka really want to see her now? She has never felt Asuka's mood in these days. As a temporary guardian, she has completely failed in her duty. She suddenly lowered her head in despair. "I'm afraid she doesn't want to listen to my preaching. I'm sorry, Shinji-kun, I find that I don't dare to see her, so I can only ask you."

She opened the trunk, took out a bunch of stuff and handed it to Shinji Ikari.

Ms. Misato is such a nice person.

Ikari Shinji thought.

But now he was in trouble. He had originally planned to ask Katsuragi Misato to help give Asuka a bath, but it seemed that even she couldn't do it, and even chose to "trust Shinji Ikari". In the end, she only left Asuka's spare clothes and some daily necessities, and drove away in the sports car.

Shinji Ikari returns to the apartment with his things.

Asuka was still lying on the sofa, staring at the ceiling with lifeless eyes, not saying anything, and not reacting at all. He sighed and took out the food left by the kind-hearted person in the refrigerator. He was really kind-hearted. He prepared to cook a meal for Asuka to eat first. Don't worry about saying anything to her about Unit 2 now, she might starve to death if she doesn't eat something.

I was hungry for two days.

You can't have big fish or meat, you have to cook something light.

Shinji Ikari quickly put the porridge on the fire and started to cook. The rice would take a while to cook. He had to prioritize things. He first solved the problem of Asuka's body smelling bad. If Miss Misato didn't work, how about looking for Asuka's friend, Hikaru Toki? But he didn't know where the class leader's house was, and he didn't know what the landline number of Hikaru Toki's house was... Shinji Ikari really wanted to go back and beat himself to death at noon. Why didn't he ask more questions at that time?

It's too late to go back now.

Shinji Ikari was really afraid that if he left, Asuka would die here today.

…How about doing it yourself?

Even though this was not the right occasion, Shinji Ikari felt his mouth dry for a moment when he had this thought. If he gave Asuka a bath, he would be on the side of the scumbag. But this was an emergency. Do you understand emergency hedging? Is this considered emergency hedging? In short, the law must be on his side. Shinji Ikari firmly believed this.

Moreover.

He also hoped that Asuka still had some sense of shame.

Does this young lady really want him to give her a bath?
...It seems that this is not necessarily the case.

Ikari Shinji felt that his life was full of dilemmas. He had been in this dilemma before. Friends should be loyal to each other, but he had been betrayed by loyalty. Could a person fall into the same trap twice?
"Hey, Asuka, listen up, you stink so bad, I'm going to give you a bath."

Shinji Ikari said, staring at her.

But Asuka still looked like a broken doll. At this moment, this awful young lady should have fiercely called him a pervert, and then gone into the bathroom and taken a bath herself!
Ok.

Just assume she agreed.

Besides, she likes him, doesn't she? Thinking of this, Shinji Ikari felt even more depressed. It seemed that he was really going to fall again this time. Logically, he should stop here now, regardless of whether Asuka was rotten or not, tell her about Unit 2, and then leave directly. But something like a bud in his heart was stopping him. This girl once said that his eyes were so beautiful, and she liked him from the beginning to the end. Can you bear to abandon her like this?

Loyalty really (expletive) has caused me so much trouble.

He no longer hesitated and carried the girl into the bathroom.

It was a white plain like moonlight, with two long legs as white as white jade, completely different from Rei Ayanami's style. Several times, Shinji Ikari felt that he was wandering on the edge of scum. Even Xiaozhen asked him whether he was a beast or worse than a beast. This was a difficult choice. But as soon as he saw Asuka's lifeless eyes, all those charming thoughts disappeared. After the girl's body was washed, Shinji Ikari put a bath towel on her and wiped her whole body clean. The bath towel could only barely cover the color of the girl.

He found the spare clothes, panties, and bra that Misato Katsuragi brought, and put them on Asuka one by one.

Shinji Ikari felt like he was playing some kind of dress-up game for beautiful girls, but this must be the worst dress-up game for beautiful girls in the world, because the heroine didn't react at all, not even a blush on her face.

Is the whole person broken?

Even if she blushed to prove that she still had a sense of shame? Ikari Shinji had to admit that he underestimated the impact of losing the identity of Unit 2 pilot on Asuka.

Finish all this.

It's almost dusk outside.

If he lost his position as the pilot of Unit-01... He couldn't imagine it, but Shinji Ikari would never be completely ruined like he is now. It's just that he was being superior and ignorant of other people's suffering. Shinji Ikari knew this clearly.

The porridge is ready.

He tentatively scooped up a spoonful of porridge and placed it next to Asuka's mouth, but she didn't even move. She had completely lost the desire to eat, not even the rice...

How to feed her this?
Shinji Ikari had to start worrying.
