EVA: Shinji Ikari Returns from the Dragon Clan

Chapter 203 201. Power Angel, Attack
Asuka's period didn't last long.

In the next few days, there was no need for Shinji Ikari to send her home, but a girl was forcibly inserted into his and Rei Ayanami's daily routine of going to and from school.

Fortunately, he and Rei Ayanami had already lived together in that small apartment, so the main show didn't start until they got back, and their daily interactions as a couple weren't affected too much. Besides, this was just a return to the state they were in when the three of them first met.

"So boring, so boring."

Asuka often complains like this.

The improved synchronization rate gave her confidence, but her arrogant look had also changed. This German lady seemed to have shed a layer of impetuous outer coat and became a little calmer. Even if she complained, it was just talk. She didn't really hope for a few apostles to fight her like before.

One time when Rei Ayanami was not around, she suddenly said,

"Hey Shinji, I feel like my eyes have changed a bit lately. Are they going to become like yours?"

"What's the change?"

So Asuka moved her face closer.

Shinji Ikari could see the fine hairs on her face, which shone slightly golden in the light, and her big beautiful eyes were so close, like a mousse cake waiting to be tasted in the window. If it were someone else, they might have a heart attack because of her beauty, but Shinji Ikari just observed calmly, ignoring her tempting actions - Asuka looked like she wanted to kiss him - to be honest, he didn't notice any changes in her eyes at all.

"I can't tell. Have you told Ms. Ritsuko?"

"She did." Asuka sighed, "She couldn't tell either. She just said that my left eye's vision had deteriorated a little."

"Overusing your eyes?"

Ikari Shinji asked.

She glared at him and said, "No."

Staring at people like this every day, wanting to kill people silently with her eyes, maybe this is why her eyesight has deteriorated. Anyway, it is impossible for her to become a golden eye like him. Ikari Shinji pondered in his heart, but Asuka's body had been eroded by the apostles, so it was hard to say whether the reason for her eyesight deterioration was because of this.

But she is full of energy now and has no reason to worry.

It seemed that Shinji Ikari's pretense of being confused annoyed her, and Asuka soon stopped pretending and kissed him directly. It was said to be seduction, but in the end it was just looking for an opportunity to kiss him. Could he be a robot whose favorability would increase every time he kissed? It would take at least 15,000 kisses for his program to go wrong.

In short, she struggled for a while before letting go of Shinji Ikari.

Of course, Asuka was still the devilish German lady at school, and hadn't changed much from before. She never took the initiative to approach him and Rei Ayanami at school. Ikari Shinji knew that she was trying to avoid suspicion, after all, he and Rei Ayanami were a couple recognized by everyone at school.

Students of this age group like to make fun of their close friends.

Although Ikari Shinji can handle it, he will get annoyed if it happens too often. However, due to their identities as pilots, they initially wanted to make trouble, but after a few times, they probably realized something and stopped doing it. But if Asuka were to be involved, the love triangle would probably instantly become a hot topic among students.

This day is still a peaceful day.

It was a rare occasion that the school let us end classes early, so we had a whole extra class period.

When they heard that the class was dismissed early, there was a commotion in the classroom, and then the students began to think about how to use this free time. Before Ikari Shinji could decide whether to go to the headquarters early, stay in the apartment for a while, or go out shopping, his two friends Kensuke Aida and Touji Suzuhara came over with a little tail behind them.

It's Sakura Suzuhara whom I haven't seen for a long time.

"Brother Shinji."

She called sweetly.

The little girl was wearing a floral dress and had two braids, looking very well dressed. I hadn't seen her for a while, and I felt that she had grown up a lot and looked a little strange.

But the communication between the two quickly broke through this sense of strangeness.

"Ying? Why are you here suddenly?"

Ikari Shinji asked.

Since Suzuhara Sakura didn't have any communication tools, he and Sakura communicated through letters - Suzuhara Fuji was the middleman - in the last letter, Ikari Shinji didn't find that Suzuhara Sakura had the intention to come to see him. He couldn't help feeling strange when he suddenly saw her.

"After all, we haven't seen each other for a long time. I missed you, Brother Shinji, so I came here suddenly. Is it a surprise?" Suzuhara Sakura's face was filled with a happy smile.

"Yeah, it's a surprise."

Ikari Shinji smiled back.

After all, she is a little fan who has always liked him, and compared to letters, face-to-face communication can easily bring people closer. Even though he decided to go back to the apartment with Ayanami Rei for a while, Shinji Ikari still chatted with her patiently. So Suzuhara Sakura soon talked about a lot of trivial things in life, a length that could not be contained in two or three letters.

Shinji Ikari probably understood why she came to see him.

She even boasted about how hard she had been studying recently, but fearing that Shinji Ikari wouldn't believe her, she glanced at her brother.

Suzuhara Touji quickly praised his sister.
"Sakura has been working really hard lately."

"It's not good to try too hard, Sakura, are you making sure to get enough rest?"

"Of course, Shinji-nii."

Suzuhara Touji was a little upset.
"Really? Shinji-nii keeps yelling, and I'm still here."

"Don't be jealous, bro."

While they were talking, Rei Ayanami stood silently beside Shinji Ikari. It was then that Suzuhara Sakura noticed that he and Rei Ayanami were standing very close to each other. Such a beautiful older sister standing next to Shinji Ikari, it was obvious that they had a special relationship. When she came before, the two of them were just ordinary classmates, why did it feel like they were making rapid progress now?
Suzuhara Sakura had a bad feeling in her heart. Could it be that Shinji was kidnapped during the time she was studying hard? Why didn't my brother tell me this?

"Hey, what does Ayanami-sister want to talk to Shinji-sister about?"

"She's just waiting for me." Ikari Shinji replied.

"What is the relationship between Shinji-nii and her? A couple?"

"Yeah, yes." He nodded.

I thought he would at least be shy for a while, but I didn't expect Shinji Ikari to admit it so openly.

“…I see.”

Suzuhara Sakura was stunned.

This! Is! Not! Possible! Ah!
She yelled in her heart, then lowered her head in frustration.

How could this happen? It's only been a few months? Can't you wait a few years until you grow up a little? No, it doesn't matter. Even if you have a girlfriend, you might break up in the future. Although it would be very unfair to Sister Ayanami. She tried to force a smile and raised her head, but it looked more like a sad face.

Although Shinji Ikari knew that she was sad, he found it inexplicably funny to see Sakura Suzuhara forcing herself to smile.

"Okay, don't be sad." He touched her head and said comfortingly.

"Ah."

Suzuhara Sakura looked depressed.

At this moment, Shinji Ikari suddenly felt a strange gaze coming from a distance. He looked over and met Asuka's eyes, who was chatting with Hikaru Tomoki. The young lady's eyes were filled with an inexplicable meaning - do you even want to tease little girls? Shinji Ikari didn't understand what she meant, but he always felt that Asuka's eyes seemed to be condemning him.

"Hey Shinji, what did you do to my sister?" This is Suzuhara Touji who seems very angry.

"Nothing." He said helplessly.

"You're kidding!"

"This is none of Shinji's business, so please don't mess with me, brother."

Suzuhara Sakura drove her brother away.

Being interrupted by her brother, her original sad mood disappeared a lot, and she just wanted to pull her brother away as soon as possible, but she didn't notice that there was not much anger on Suzuhara Touji's face, and he was just joking with his friends.

how to say.

Sakura, there's no chance of your liking me.

Even Suzuhara Touji knew about this, as did Miss Misato... I won't say more, the more I talk about it the sadder I get.

The sadness of the little girl came and went quickly, and soon Suzuhara Sakura regained her usual lively spirit. It is unknown whether she has given up the idea of ​​dating her idol. Of course, Ikari Shinji has no way of knowing what this little girl is thinking. He just acts as a qualified tree hole, listening to her talk about daily fun things with a smile on his face, giving her the highest emotional value.

Until about ten minutes had passed.

After realizing that she had delayed too long, Suzuhara Sakura immediately apologized.
"Ah! I'm sorry, Shinji-nii, for taking you so long to listen."

"No trouble, I'm very happy to chat with you, Ying." He smiled and said, "If you can't finish what I want to say in this letter, you can always come and chat with me."

"Thank you! I'll go back first."

"See you."

Shinji Ikari looked at the small figure of Suzuhara Sakura leaving.

I always feel that this child will become a great person in the future.

he thought.

But after this little episode, it was too late for him and Rei Ayanami to go back to the apartment, so they had to go to the headquarters in advance. Shinji Ikari didn't complain, after all, the person he was chatting with was Sakura Suzuhara, his little fan. He said goodbye to the two friends and walked towards the train station with the girl.

The two soon arrived at the tram station.

After waiting for a few minutes, Asuka caught up with them from behind and squeezed in between the two of them with a cold face. She had gotten used to the atmosphere between the three of them in the past few days and didn't feel embarrassed at all. At this time, the train arrived at the station with a bang, and the announcement came from the radio, and the three of them got on the train together.

Suddenly, it seemed like the peaceful life when the apostles first arrived.

However, such a peaceful life cannot last long, and everyone is aware of this. As soon as he sat down on the tram, his mobile phone suddenly rang, echoing in the empty carriage.

The voice came from Misato Katsuragi, and she informed the pilots of a piece of unfortunate news.

"It's the Apostle," she said. "Please come to the headquarters immediately."

"Yes!"

Said Shinji Ikari.
