EVA: Shinji Ikari Returns from the Dragon Clan

Chapter 24 23. First intimate contact

Such obvious hostility.

Shinji Ikari was a little confused.

He thought to himself that he had been working diligently in Tokyo for so long, never absent or late, and was extremely harmless. If there was an award for the best office worker in Japan among drivers, he would definitely win it. How could he have any conflicts with this girl in Germany? Where did her inexplicable hostility come from?

There is no love or hate without reason in the world. Many times you just don’t find the reason.

He immediately thought of something.

...I'm afraid we can only be pilots together.

Rei Ayanami came to thank him for this reason, so it is reasonable for him to have a conflict now. But what kind of conflict can there be in the identity of a driver?

Could it be possible that she was jealous of me for taking care of two apostles single-handedly?

Such nonsense.

Will anyone really rush to do it?

"If I hadn't said that just now, you would have been hurt," he asked.

"would not."

Asuka retorted fiercely, showing no sign of guilt at all.
"You were so clumsy that you blocked the spot. Otherwise, I would have unloaded the force and nothing would have happened."

In this kind of situation, each person has his own reasons.

But Shinji Ikari would not gamble his chance on someone else at that time. You know, Rei Ayanami was not far behind him. Who would gamble on the kindness of a stranger?

"What about third-rate EVAs and fourth-rate pilots?"

"Evangelion Unit-2 and Unit- were merely prototypes and the first experimental machines in the development process of EVA, but my Unit- is different. It was built for actual combat. It has thoroughly improved its combat capabilities based on those two third-rate machines. It is the world's first true Neon Genesis Evangelion." Asuka said confidently.

"As for you?"

She snorted coldly.
"I've heard that you're the second-generation who didn't get any selection and became a pilot thanks to your father, right?"

This guy actually thought he got in through the back door.

Shinji Ikari was stunned for a moment when he thought about it. He thought about it carefully and found a problem. If he ignored the inexplicable qualified person, he might be seen as a person who relied on connections to drive Unit-01. At the beginning, he thought it was a scenario where a father worked hard for many years and brought his son to enjoy the good life. How did it become like this... It seems that there was no selection, and he just drove Unit-01.

If there really is a selection, it would make those serious people feel that all their efforts are in vain...but isn't there anything like that?

"How about it, now you know who is at fault?"

"——I wonder how many apostles you have killed?"

"..."

The scene suddenly fell silent.

This time.

But he is a general.

No matter what the reason is, as an EVA pilot, you still have to rely on your combat performance to speak for yourself.

“Are we going to decide who is better by numbers? This is why I came here. Just relax and prepare to fail.” The girl with long golden hair in front of him took a deep breath and suppressed her emotions.

But this obviously angered her.

She came closer in an instant and suddenly gave a malicious smile.

Alarm bells were ringing in Shinji Ikari.

He keenly noticed that Asuka hooked her foot towards him in a despicable manner. He would probably fall flat on his face if she continued this action. This guy must be trying to make a fool of himself.

Shinji Ikari is not someone to be trifled with.

No matter how talented you are, you can't bully others like this. He didn't want to bother with the other party, but this bullying has gone too far. He immediately used his mixed-race physical fitness to fight back.

This is like stirring up a hornet's nest.

then.

Soon the two men started fighting back and forth.

Until Katsuragi Misato couldn't help but call for a stop. She had been waiting to see the joke, and when she encountered this violent chemical reaction, she could only try to smooth out the wrinkles on her forehead.
"Really, both of you, stop it."

"Ms. Misato is too biased. It was obviously my side that was attacked first." Ikari Shinji stated the facts calmly.

even though.

In the end, it is the other person who falls.

But the beautiful urban beauty didn't care about these things. She firmly suppressed the two dissatisfied opinions, held their hands, and asked the two to shake hands symbolically to complete the meeting etiquette. "Anyway, you have to get along well in the future. This is an order, and you can't refute it. Also, what should you say after shaking hands?"

"Ms. Soru, please give me your guidance."

"You too, please give me some advice."

Both of them looked calm on the surface.

I just don't know what I'm thinking.

After playing house, Misato Katsuragi went to start the car, and there was another person at the scene who was finally noticed by Asuka.

Blue hair.

Red eyes.

She immediately turned her attention to the three-no girl hiding quietly at the side. Asuka, who unilaterally believed that the two were her companions, immediately transferred her anger to others.
"This should be the other qualified candidate, right? He looks like a nerdy top student. Hey, let's get along well from now on."

You don't sound like you want to get along well.

As expected, Rei Ayanami ignored her.

Instead, he just looked at the book in his hand, as if it was the most precious treasure in the world.

After trying to probe Ayanami several times, even such a proud girl had to give in to Sanwu's lack of reaction. She snorted in disbelief and said stubbornly,
"Humph, just like a puppet, meaningless."

Fortunately.

This driver from Germany was not so bad as to attack Rei Ayanami.

"Let's go, it's time to go back."

The car starts.

This unique welcome is finally coming to an end.

Silence fell in the car.

Even if Misato Katsuragi wanted to say something to ease the atmosphere, it would be completely destroyed immediately without her noticing.

Finally, she dropped Ikari Shinji and Ayanami Rei off on the avenue near the apartment, and then drove Asuka away. Ikari Shinji guessed that the urban beauty still had to go to the human resources department to complete all the formalities.

From now on, that guy will be my colleague.

But it's okay.

Asuka has finished her university courses, so she definitely doesn't need to come to school. I guess I can only meet that girl in the headquarters in the future. This is acceptable, after all, no one can stand being with a slightly annoying colleague every day.

Unless Misato Katsuragi does something weird again.

Thinking of Miss Misato's usual style of doing things, Shinji Ikari suddenly felt a little uncertain.

It shouldn’t be that serious.

Compared to this.

It's time to teach Ayanami how to cook.

He and Rei Ayanami were walking on their way back to the apartment.

"Have you bought the ingredients?" asked Shinji Ikari.

“I bought some.”

Then you don't need to go to the supermarket to buy it again.

Otherwise it would be wasted.

Compared to before, at least Ayanami can respond to the conversation now, instead of not even knowing whether she has heard it or not. When she walks on the street, she is more lively than before.

The two soon arrived in front of the apartment.

Shinji Ikari looked up at the house number above.

402.

Well, I need to make a note of this.

The house number of Ayanami Apartment.

Then he followed Rei Ayanami and watched her push open the door.
