EVA: Shinji Ikari Returns from the Dragon Clan

Chapter 199 197. Asuka, you are very mean now

"How is the German branch being rebuilt now?"

"We're still looking for a location." Hearing Asuka's question, Makiba sighed, "But maybe there won't be this branch in the future."

"No... there must be a branch in Europe, right?"

"Who knows what the people above are thinking." The bespectacled woman pushed up her glasses with her hand. "But the apostles will all be wiped out one day, and then these branches will have no meaning to exist, right? I am staying at the Japanese headquarters now, continuing to study the EVA machine, and I don't think there is anything wrong with that."

When talking about Germany, she didn't look sad at all, and seemed to not care at all. She definitely had many more acquaintances there than Asuka, but she still looked so carefree, and even Asuka had to admire her. However, Asuka suddenly thought of something. As the former director of the Science and Technology Department of the German branch, could this girl have known the truth about the accident of Unit 2's experiment?
But why hadn't he told me this since I was a child? Was this some kind of confidential matter?

Asuka looked over with suspicion.

Makiba asked her:
"what's wrong?"

"No, it's okay."

"This doesn't look like everything is alright. Any questions?"

"It feels like you're hiding something from me."

"Of course." Makiba raised her eyebrows, "There are always some secrets that cannot be told to others, like you, Princess. You must be hiding something from me right now."

"No."

"Then neither did I."

Asuka pouted at her.

Makiba gave her a gentle smile and looked down at the time on his watch. "It's almost time. I have something else to do. I have to leave first, princess."

"Stop calling me princess."

"No, that's just a nickname. But I can't agree to that."

The girl with glasses waved her hand.

After saying hello.

She walked away. But Asuka stopped and stared at her back. For Makiba, it didn't matter whether she was told the truth about Unit 2 or not. After all, if she knew it was a pre-selected one, it might be difficult for her to hold on until now.

Asuka was still thinking about this matter even after leaving the headquarters and arriving at the train station.

At the tram station.

The other two drivers were also here.

The platform was empty, with only the three drivers and a few staff members from the headquarters. Normally, Asuka would have walked away from the two and waited for the next train before going back. She had been doing this since Shinji Ikari and Rei Ayanami got together. But this time, she did not plan to wait for the next train. Instead, Asuka took the initiative to walk towards the two.

what?
Bulb?
She didn't think she was a light bulb. She didn't get along with them before because she thought they were just an eyesore. But Shinji, it would be great to have beautiful girls hugging him, right? When Asuka thought of this, she felt unhappy and even had a slight stomachache.

As for Shinji Ikari, he didn't know whether he was happy or not, but when he saw Asuka coming towards the platform, he immediately knew that he was in trouble.

"Asuka?"

"I want to take a ride, what's wrong?"

"…You can sit if you want."

He was holding Rei Ayanami's hand, and the two were very close to each other. This should have been a beautiful picture of youth, but Asuka suddenly broke in and broke everything. After seeing the two holding hands, she glared at him in dissatisfaction, but even though Asuka stared at him fiercely, Shinji Ikari had no intention of letting go. It was not until they got on the train and sat down on their seats that Rei Ayanami wanted to read a book, and Shinji Ikari let go of her hand.

Asuka sat next to him on the train.

One left and one right.

The body fragrance of the two girls reached Shinji Ikari's nose, but the smell of LCL liquid was blocked because he was used to it. But he could only sit upright. In the past, he and Rei Ayanami had never been openly ambiguous on the train, so this was not a big problem. If they wanted to do it, they would start at the apartment. It was impossible for Asuka to follow him to his apartment.

only…

In the days ahead, Asuka would have to keep going with him, right? Ikari Shinji was a little worried.

He is now a little confused about how he feels about Asuka.

As for friends, it was obvious that they had crossed the line last night. It wouldn't be a problem even if they went straight to the last step. However, if they really went to the last step, Asuka might not just stare at him, but would actually take some action. As for lovers, it didn't seem to be that serious, and he already had Rei Ayanami. Logically, he should have made things clear with Asuka like he did last time, but something in his heart was stopping him - now Shinji Ikari really felt like a bad guy.

"Shinji, when do you think the next Angel attack will be?"

Rei Ayanami was reading a book nearby, and he was chatting with Asuka.

In a trance.

They returned to the time when the three of them had just met.

But this time the tram was rattling loudly, and there were only three of them in the entire carriage. It was no longer as lively as it was at the beginning.

"Itchy hands?" he asked.

"Yeah. After all, the synchronization rate is so high, I want to give it a try."

"I don't know if you ask me." Ikari Shinji sighed and said without any hope, "I just hope that next time there won't be any weird moves. It would be best if we could have a real fight."

The apostles are becoming more and more weird.

Anti-AT force field, parasitism...

He missed the apostle he had when he first came to Tokyo. It would be nice if all the apostles were this simple. Now Unit-01 can fight two without any damage. "Without those moves, the frontal combat capability will be much stronger, right?"

Asuka stretched as if to relieve her physical fatigue, and the girl's beautiful curves were generously displayed in front of him, reminding him of the Aries-like girl's body last night. Now the girl in a dress looked even more attractive than when she was naked. She continued,
"Aren't the apostles becoming more and more powerful?"

"That's true." Ikari Shinji thought about it seriously, "Then there will be some weird moves, and they can be easily broken."

“I don’t know how many there are.”

Asuka complained weakly.

The road ahead is long.

Shinji Ikari felt the same as Asuka at this moment. No one knew how many Angels were left. Christmas was next month, and after Christmas there was New Year. Hopefully they could be dealt with before the New Year. The air-conditioning in the train was turned up high. Asuka yawned, her face a little pale. As they chatted, she rested her head on Shinji Ikari's shoulder, showing a sense of closeness without any distance, and she didn't care about Rei Ayanami next to her.

If he glanced at Ayanami Rei, Asuka would say something or do something to make him turn his gaze back.

"By the way, Shinji."

"Ok?"

"I haven't returned your shirt yet."

"shirt?"

"Well, have you forgotten? You lent it to me during the heavy rain, but then I forgot to return it to you."

Heavy rain...

After Asuka said this, Ikari Shinji vaguely remembered that time when Asuka came to his apartment soaking wet, he seemed to have given her one of his white shirts as temporary clothes. At that time, he had just arrived in Tokyo and had not bought many clothes for replacement. He kept wondering when Asuka would return it to him. Hasn't she returned it yet? Ikari Shinji didn't care about the clothes anymore, so he said,

"Then give it back to me when you get to school tomorrow."

"That's too slow."

Asuka leaned on his shoulder and said lazily,

"…I'll go to your place tonight and give you the clothes."

"..."

Shinji Ikari's scalp tingled.

Oh my god, there’s an ambush here.

Rei Ayanami, who was reading a book next to him, stopped turning pages and pricked up her ears. Shinji Ikari had no time to pay attention to Ayanami's expression at this time. His mind was spinning frantically.

"It won't take long, give it to me tomorrow."

"It would be better to return it to you Shinji as soon as possible."

"Isn't it inconvenient for girls at night?"

“Very convenient.”

"Tomorrow."

"tonight."

"…Actually, Ayanami lives with me now."

"..."

Asuka's pretty face immediately turned ugly.

The corners of her mouth twisted slightly, revealing a terrifying expression. Of course, she didn't know that Shinji and the honor student were already living together. She thought that the two of them were still living in their own apartments. Although she had been prepared for this, when Asuka heard this, her heart shrank tightly, and she felt suffocated. Why could Shinji and the honor student progress so fast? She had also thought about living together before!

Asuka stopped talking.

The shirt and the like will not be returned tomorrow, the day after tomorrow, or ever!

She was in a bad mood and wanted to stand up and not sit next to Ikari Shinji as a punishment. But when she stood up, Asuka's face turned pale. She held her stomach and arched her back like a shrimp in pain. Her fingers tightly grasped Ikari Shinji's arm, as if she was grasping a solid guardrail and dared not let go easily.

"Asuka, what's wrong?"

Shinji Ikari quickly supported her.

Even Ayanami Rei, who had resumed turning pages of her book, looked over curiously.

"…I came early." Asuka said weakly.

What's coming?
Of course it’s the menstrual period.

She had a vague premonition before, and had wanted to take this opportunity to go to Shinji's apartment that night, but in the end she couldn't go and her period came, it was really a double whammy.

Right.

She had been hospitalized for half a month before, and then she ran away from home. She had been hungry for several days and had irregular diet. It was natural for her to come early. Ikari Shinji and Ayanami Rei looked at each other. The train was about to arrive at the station. They couldn't just leave Asuka here, could they?

Asuka.

You are despicable now.
