EVA: Shinji Ikari Returns from the Dragon Clan

Chapter 200 198. My house is quite big, so you can come here when you are tired of playing...

The tram arrived at the station with a bang.

The door opened, and Shinji Ikari helped the girl who was having her period to slowly walk down the platform.

"Can I still leave?"

"should."

Asuka answered.

She then let go of her hand and took two tentative steps, but soon her posture became a little strange because of the pain, as if her foot was off balance, and she felt a subtle sense of disharmony. She could get home by walking this way, but she didn't know how much pain she would have to endure on the way. Asuka seemed to not care about the pain and walked alone towards Misato's apartment.

Shinji Ikari would not feel at ease if he let her go back alone.

"I'll take Asuka back."

He said to Rei Ayanami.

When he said this, Ikari Shinji felt that he was really sick. How could he talk about sending another girl home in front of his girlfriend? Unlike the last time, this time he did it in person. As expected, Rei Ayanami nodded in agreement. However, this time, Ikari Shinji did not rush over to help Asuka, but looked into Rei Ayanami's beautiful eyes.

Even if I can't explain the feeling in my heart.

But it is undeniable that he has a slight liking for Asuka.

This is something Shinji Ikari gradually came to realize.

As for Asuka, it goes without saying that the situation has developed to this point only because of Rei Ayanami's unconditional love for him, and she is even fueling the flames. Ikari Shinji knows this clearly. Even if he and Asuka really did something adult, I'm afraid the girl will accept it calmly and continue to accompany him obediently as usual.

But even if Ayanami herself accepted it, it would still be extremely unfair to her.

"Ikari-kun?"

"…fine."

Said Shinji Ikari.

It's going to be a messy relationship again. He sighed in his heart, if only he could ignore it and be a complete bad guy, then he wouldn't have to worry so much.

He walked towards Asuka.

It seemed that what Shinji Ikari said on the train about living with Ayanami had annoyed her. Asuka was not willing to be supported by him. As soon as his hand touched hers, she shook it off. She stared at him with her beautiful almond eyes. The girl walked forward with a pale face. Shinji Ikari had no choice but to walk with her. But soon Asuka ran out of strength. After walking only a few dozen meters, she found a roadside electric pole to lean on just after leaving the train station.

"Can't walk anymore?"

"Humph."

"Let me carry you back."

Even with support, Asuka probably couldn't walk very well. Ikari Shinji ignored her struggles and carried her on his back. Asuka was a little bit noisy at first, but she immediately became quiet after she was on his back.

Like grabbing a cat by the scruff of the neck or something.

But the cat was quiet for a while and then started to do strange things on his back, like adjusting the seat to make it more comfortable, blowing quietly in his ear and so on. Shinji Ikari felt like he was walking on a snow-covered road with her on his back, surrounded by lush green trees, with one foot deep and one foot shallow - of course this was just an illusion, because the ground under his feet was hard concrete, and there were all kinds of closed shops around. The weather was not too hot, but it was not cold either.

She hummed against his back, the girl's slightly raised breasts pressed against his back, feeling exquisite.

Think about it carefully.

In addition to the first kiss, the first girl he carried on his back was also Asuka. As for Ayanami, she stayed in his arms most of the time. And if it was Ayanami Rei who was carried on his back, he wouldn't have to be so formal as he is now. His hands could naturally do whatever they wanted in the girl's clothes, just like he did on countless nights.

Asuka is not light in weight.

But if it were an ordinary person, they would not be able to walk for more than a hundred meters carrying such a big person. However, Ikari Shinji carried it for a long time without complaining or getting tired, and he didn't even stop in the middle. After resting for such a long time, Asuka seemed to have recovered some strength and asked him curiously on his back:
"Aren't you tired?"

"Fortunately."

"I didn't realize you're so strong, Shinji."

As she spoke, she pinched the muscles on his arm with her fingers, her eyes sparkling, like a cat that caught some fun fur ball. But Ikari Shinji knew that this was not something to be praised, but just relying on the extraordinary physical fitness of the mixed-blood.

“It’s itchy,” he said.

“…What is it?”

Having said that, Asuka still stopped her movements obediently. She naturally crossed her hands and placed them on his chest. The girl's cheek was very close to him, and she stared at him intently with a very hot gaze. At a certain moment, she attacked... Asuka suddenly kissed his cheek, and there was a moist coolness there.
"It's a reward," she explained. "Shinji, you have to be grateful."

"Yeah, thank you very much."

"Not thoughtful enough!"

Asuka yelled.

After shouting like that, Asuka's strength was too great, and probably affected her stomach. She immediately became weak again. She leaned on Shinji Ikari's back for a long time, and whispered,
"It wasn't intentional."

"what?"

"I originally wanted you to take care of me, and you could go to your apartment. But I didn't expect that you and the top student already live together, so now you can't go back with her." Asuka said this, smiling, "But this is not bad, it just disturbs you two!" "... You are gloating."

"I'm just such a stingy guy, isn't it okay?"

"Go, go, go."

This is a question of death.

Shinji Ikari had no choice but to nod helplessly, indicating that Asuka was right, and she nodded with satisfaction.

The two walked towards Misato's apartment towards the sunset.

The boy carried the girl on his back while walking on the street, whispering and chatting. It was a beautiful scene of youth. The few pedestrians on the street smiled at the two of them, probably because they were thinking about their past youth. Ikari Shinji was familiar with this route. After all, he had been here several times, although he had rarely been to the apartment. He carried Asuka up the stairs. Misato's apartment was not high, and they soon arrived at the front door.

When Ikari Shinji was about to put her down and go back, Asuka suddenly asked:

"You won't come in this time? I might faint at the entrance as soon as I enter, and then I won't be discovered until Misato comes back at night. It's so pitiful just to think about it, and all this is Shinji's fault for being indifferent to such a beautiful me..."

"I can't be so unlucky..."

But since she had said this, Shinji Ikari had no choice but to go in.

This was the second time he had entered Miss Misato's apartment. The first time was when Katsuragi Misato was celebrating her promotion, and everyone was there, but this time it was just him and Asuka alone. He carried Asuka in on his back, and when he was about to take off his shoes at the entrance, a small black shadow suddenly appeared in the corner. It didn't look like a cat or a dog. At first, Shinji Ikari was stunned, but then he realized that it was Miss Misato's pet.

It's the penguin PENPEN.

It probably heard the door open and came to welcome Asuka back. Seeing that she brought a stranger - or maybe not a stranger, Ikari Shinji had met it once before. The penguin soon stood there stupidly, like an animal doll in a toy store.

"I know. I'll give you food."

Asuka waved her hand perfunctorily.

Penguin looked at her, then looked at Shinji Ikari, and called out twice for her perfunctory tone, but after hearing Asuka's words about giving him food, he still walked away reluctantly. Shinji Ikari couldn't help but laugh twice when he saw this funny scene. After putting his shoes in the entrance, Asuka returned to the apartment and quickly ordered him to do things without any hesitation - Shinji Ikari suspected that she let him into the apartment because she was targeting him as a laborer.

He first placed food for the penguins according to Asuka's instructions.

"How many spoonfuls?" he asked.

"Watch it."

Ikari Shinji hesitated.

It's better to give more spoonfuls than less.

So the penguin called out to him with gratitude - God knows how Shinji Ikari could see gratitude on a penguin's face. At this time, Asuka had already entered the bathroom with a sanitary napkin. She came out after a while and even changed her clothes. There was a hint of blush on the girl's cheeks.

"Let me cook," he said.

“Remember to make a serving for two.”

"I'm going back later."

"It's me and Misato." Asuka leaned against the kitchen door and laughed at him, her lips opening and closing in a pink hue from the pain. "Shinji, what are you thinking about?"

After hearing what Asuka said, Ikari Shinji knew that he had misunderstood, and he didn't feel embarrassed, so he quickly went into the kitchen to start cooking. Asuka watched Ikari Shinji cooking in the kitchen, but because she was on her period, she didn't plan to help.

Of course, even if there was, Ikari Shinji would tell her not to help.

Take care.

Asuka should rest now.

But as soon as she returned to the room, she felt empty inside when she thought of Shinji Ikari outside. She didn't know what to do. Even though her stomach still hurt, she stood up and walked around the room inexplicably. Finally, she came out somehow, wanting to stay here and watch Shinji Ikari.

The food is ready quickly.

The rice was still in the pot waiting to be cooked. Ikari Shinji washed his hands and was about to leave when Asuka called him.

"Hey Shinji, what are your plans for the future?"

"future?"

Ikari Shinji thought about it.

"After defeating the apostles, I will continue my studies normally and then go to university. After graduation, I haven't decided what kind of job I want to do yet."

As for the Human Completion Project?
Kaji Ryoji is nowhere to be seen. Ikari Shinji doesn't know where he is. He is said to be a vanguard, but the headquarters has been calm during this period. Maybe it's not the most critical time yet?

"It's not about something so far away. It's about the top students."

Asuka frowned and asked,
"Have you thought about what's next?"

The penguin in the corner of the apartment glanced at the two people who had fallen silent, cackled twice, and continued to eat its meal.
