EVA: Shinji Ikari Returns from the Dragon Clan

Chapter 196 194. It is embarrassing to recognize the wrong girl
It was around six in the morning when Shinji Ikari woke up.

The sun outside was rising slowly, not too bright in the bedroom. Asuka was still sleeping, and he felt half of his body was a little numb. Fortunately, the strong physical fitness of the mixed-blood quickly made him recover, but his consciousness was still a little fuzzy. At this time, his sinful hands habitually rested on the girl's body in his arms, from the lower abdomen to the chest, and the touch of his fingers was feeling the soft beauty.

But soon.

Ikari Shinji was shocked.

Because he found that the girl's figure was different from the past, the size was different, why did this place shrink a little? He thought subconsciously, and then remembered that he slept with Asuka last night, not Ayanami Rei.

Fortunately, Asuka was still soundly asleep.

"..."

He felt guilty and pulled his hand back. As long as no one found out, it wouldn't be a crime! Anyway, it wasn't his fault. He was just half asleep.

Shinji Ikari calmed himself down a little and tried to get up from the bed.

The straps of Asuka's bra had slipped off her shoulders, and because of his previous action, the beautiful half circle was exposed to the air. He wanted to pull his body out from under her, but was afraid of waking up the girl, so he had to move little by little. It took him several minutes to get out of bed and put on last night's clothes.

He washed up a little.

There are still some ingredients in the kitchen.

Shinji Ikari made breakfast and wanted to leave and go back to his apartment. But when he thought about Asuka's reaction if she woke up and didn't see him, he hesitated. So he sat down in the living room and turned on the TV, turned down the volume, and waited for Asuka to wake up.

"...Shinji..."

It was already noon when Asuka came out of the bedroom rubbing her eyes.

Her clothes were disheveled, she hadn't even cleaned them up, and she exuded an inexplicable nervousness. She stopped looking for Shinji Ikari after seeing him on the sofa in the living room.

Shinji Ikari looked at the TV and said to her,

"The meal is ready. I'll take you back to Miss Misato after you finish eating."

Rare.

She obediently went to wash up.

At the dinner table, probably because it was not night but broad daylight, Asuka's actions were not as casual as last night. At least she did not insist on him hugging her. She just kept her body very close to him and stared at his face blankly from time to time. After being frightened by her stare for the Nth time, Ikari Shinji finally finished his breakfast with difficulty.

"Why are you looking at me like that?"

"I just wanted to see you. This should be an honor for you, Shinji."

"..."

What else could he say.

Then he cleaned up the kindhearted man's temporary apartment.

The two walked out of here.

The sun was shining brightly, and the entire Third New Tokyo was filled with a golden glow. Asuka was walking side by side with him in a dress, and Shinji Ikari was carrying the things she had taken with her when she ran away from home, plus some clothes to change into, and packed them in a bag. These things had not been washed yet, and were in a mess in the bag.

"It's so hot." Asuka complained, "Shinji, how far do we have to go?"

"almost."

"You said the same thing three minutes ago."

"It's really almost time... Yeah, we're almost at the train station."

"It's still so far. I don't want to walk anymore. How about you carry me on your back, Shinji?"

"Would that be hotter?"

"Too……"

Asuka suddenly lost her temper.

The two chatted on the street. The weather was so hot that Asuka didn't want to get close to him. She was very afraid of the heat. If she walked around in her underwear in the apartment, it wouldn't be a big deal just for Shinji to see, but now on the street, she couldn't be as unrestrained as in the apartment.

Fortunately, the journey is not far.

Soon they arrived at the door of Misato Katsuragi's apartment.

The female major, who was a social animal, had already gone to work. The door was closed. Asuka took out the key from somewhere and opened the door of the apartment. Ikari Shinji handed her the things he had been holding and then prepared to go back. He still had to go to class today. He didn't ask for leave from the school, so he had to go to the headquarters for training as usual after class.

Seeing his quick and decisive action, Asuka was stunned for a moment and asked him:
"Won't you come in?"

"No, I have to go back."

"……go back…"

Asuka grumbled in dissatisfaction, then she thought of something.
"Wait for me a moment."

She ran into the apartment in a hurry, and Shinji Ikari stayed where he was obediently, but he soon regretted it because Asuka soon ran out in a hurry again. The moment she came out, Shinji Ikari smelled a strong scent of perfume. Before he could think about it, Asuka gave him a big hug, stepped on his foot hard, made a face, and angrily closed the door of the apartment.

Then he sniffed the smell on his body. It was the smell of perfume that Asuka got from somewhere. Mm, it was lavender, and the fragrance was so strong that he couldn't help but remain silent.

How can I go back?

Are you betting that Ayanami's sense of smell is impaired?

Asuka's move was a bit too mean, Ikari Shinji smiled helplessly, thinking of it as a punishment for rubbing the wrong place this morning. He walked towards home, Ayanami Rei must still be in the apartment at this moment, thinking of what happened with Asuka last night, Ikari Shinji inexplicably felt a sense of guilt for his immorality.

The sun outside is getting hotter.

Shinji Ikari hurried back to his apartment.

Seeing the familiar door, he subconsciously moved more slowly. Even the movement of inserting the key to open the door became slower. The door opened with a slight click. As soon as Shinji Ikari entered, he saw Rei Ayanami sitting in the living room, staring at the door. Her beautiful eyes lit up when she saw him coming back.
"Have you had breakfast, Ikari-kun?" "...Not yet."

Ikari Shinji said guiltily.

Otherwise, would he say something like, "Haha, I already had breakfast with Asuka this morning, so the breakfast you prepared for me, Ayanami, is wasted?"
Ayanami Rei came closer.

At the moment, she looked like a Japanese wife in a TV drama welcoming her husband back home. Regardless of the story behind it, she looked extremely virtuous, the only thing missing was a “Master Shinji.” But soon she sniffed, and a hint of doubt appeared on her pretty face.

On you.

It smells like her perfume.
Shinji Ikari suddenly remembered this song that his former roommate liked to hum.

"When we were about to come back, Asuka sprayed perfume and played a prank."

He said it honestly.

Yes, this is Shinji Ikari's solution.

Sometimes a girl being too obedient is also a happy trouble. Ayanami Rei really believed his words and didn't bother about this at all. Ikari Shinji felt that even if he made up a random excuse, he might be able to get away with it, but would he still be considered a man in that case?
But it’s not over yet.

At this moment, Rei Ayanami suddenly pinched the clothes on his chest.

Ikari Shinji: “…”

——It’s fatal.

——Don’t let it be your hair.

Shinji Ikari felt dizzy when he thought that Asuka might have left hair on his clothes. This is completely different from the nature of perfume. There is often such a plot in urban love movies in TV dramas. The wife who is waiting for her husband to return home smells the perfume on her husband and becomes suspicious, but the husband says it is just a business social event. Until one day, the wife finds another woman's hair on her husband's suit, which triggers a series of events... Help! It must not be hair!

Rei Ayanami smoothed out the wrinkles on his clothes with her hands and asked curiously:

"Ikari-kun, what's wrong?"

"……fine."

Shinji Ikari breathed a sigh of relief.

"I'm going to take a shower and we'll go to school together later."

"Yes, Ikari-kun."

He quickly found his clothes in their room.

After entering the bathroom, taking a shower and changing clothes, Ikari Shinji thought for a moment, then quickly put the clothes he had taken off into the washing machine to wash, and by the way checked to see if there was any hair of Asuka left behind.

--No.

It seems that the young lady whose hair easily flares up has no habit of shedding.

Ikari Shinji was thankful.

So he and Rei Ayanami finished breakfast and spent time together as usual. They went out and took the train. The girl didn't ask him what he and Asuka did last night. Shinji Ikari didn't know whether he should tell Rei Ayanami everything that happened last night in detail. After all, it always sounded a bit perverted. It was just that occasionally, when he looked at the calm profile of the girl with short blue hair, he felt a strange feeling in his heart.

Is it true that Ayanami... won't be jealous of Asuka?

The school routine continues.

No one was absent from Class 2-A today.

When Asuka, full of energy, walked back to school, it did not cause much commotion. For the girls, it was just the return of the young lady at the top of the social network; but for the boys, it was the return of the devil who ruled the school, and there was wailing in the crowd.

Only Hikaru Toramaki, Asuka's good friend, looked at her in surprise.

What a miracle doctor!
Mitsuru Doraki couldn't help but look at Shinji Ikari with admiration.

You know, it's been less than a day since she gave the important task to Ikari, and in just one night, Asuka has recovered her former spirit. Isn't this a miracle doctor? I just don't know how Ikari did it. She imagined a lot of plots in her mind, and suddenly blushed.

We can't sleep together...

Dong Mu Guang quickly dispelled that thought.

Impossible, impossible, doesn't Ikari have Ayanami? He can't be unfaithful to Asuka, right? Besides, based on her understanding of her friend Asuka's arrogant personality, Asuka would definitely not accept such a thing.

The school session will soon be over.

After class, the three drivers came to the headquarters.

Headquarters.

In the lounge.

Ritsuko Akagi was a little surprised when she saw Asuka in good shape.

Asuka was so withdrawn a few days ago, but now... Anyway, it's a good thing that she's back. And Asuka even proposed to rejoin the training.
"Do you want to test the synchronization rate with Unit 2?" asked Ritsuko Akagi.

"Ah."

"Have you recovered yet?"

"All right."

Seeing Asuka nod, Ritsuko Akagi reluctantly felt relieved.

The pilot of Unit 2 has already put on a fiery red combat uniform. The girl's figure is like a burning, energetic flame. All she has to do next is enter the cockpit to test the synchronization rate.
