EVA: Shinji Ikari Returns from the Dragon Clan

Chapter 25 24. On the preparation method of glowing dishes
Push the door open and enter.

Rei Ayanami's apartment was as simple as he imagined.

It was a spacious but extremely monotonous room with very sparse furniture, just a bed, a set of tables and chairs, and a refrigerator.

The first thing that can be confirmed is.

…has not been cleaned.

On the trash can in the corner, there were some bandages that had not been dealt with yet, and there were bloodstains in some places.

Perhaps on a certain quiet night, Rei Ayanami stood in such a position, expressionlessly changing her own bandages. In horror movies, she would be the so-called bandage ghost, beautiful, scary and creepy.

There is no decoration here.

Rather than a home, it is more like a temporary residence.

If it weren't for the fact that Shinji Ikari and Rei Ayanami had been going to school together for some time and it was certain that the apartment she lived in was in this direction, even though he was mentally prepared, he would still not be sure that this was Rei Ayanami's room.

The room has a great view.

But it feels very much like her style.

There were even some women's underwear on the table that had not been put away in the drawer. Shinji Ikari just glanced at it and politely looked away, but he soon noticed a pair of brown glasses with broken lenses on the table.

It looks familiar.

They look exactly like the glasses some jerk is wearing.

"this is……"

Forget it.

He had no intention of asking further questions.

It’s better not to ask about that disgusting guy, otherwise the atmosphere will definitely be ruined.

"Commander Ikari's." But Rei Ayanami rarely took the initiative to explain. She said lightly, "During the experiment, Commander Ikari broke his glasses in order to save me. I kept them."

Put it this way.

The injuries that Rei Ayanami had suffered before were probably caused by that experiment.

I don't know what kind of dangerous experiment it is. Judging from the experience of Unit-01, it should be phantom pain at most. However, Shinji Ikari doesn't know much about this and can't express any opinion.

Would that father do such a thing to save someone?
impossible.

It’s not that he thinks he is biased, but Shinji Ikari doesn’t think he would do anything so well-intentioned. Of course, this idea is also partly due to the bad relationship between father and son.

and many more.

Could it be that Rei Ayanami is that bastard's illegitimate daughter?

This absurd thought flashed through his mind, but Shinji Ikari quickly dismissed this outrageous idea because the two people looked nothing alike. People who had seen them would never doubt that Rei Ayanami and Commander Ikari were related by blood. Instead, he himself looked a bit like a smaller version of Commander Ikari.

Shinji Ikari quickly found an explanation.

Before I came, Ayanami Rei was the only EVA pilot. Which researcher wouldn't treasure the only sample? It was normal for her to attach so much importance to it.

The hiccup passes.

The two people quickly came to the kitchen.

Looking at the clean appearance of the kitchen, there is only a thin layer of dust in some places where no one has used it. It seems that Ayanami listened to herself and no one practiced secretly.

Shinji Ikari demonstrated it first.

Wearing an apron, he only took a small amount of ingredients to prevent waste and cooked quite simple home-cooked dishes.

The meal after cooking was not glowing.

After all.

There is no such thing as food that is so delicious that it glows in this world.

"Well, did you remember it?" he asked.

Ayanami Rei nodded obediently.

She took the apron handed to her by Shinji Ikari and put it on properly.

Followed by.

She began to cook. Her movements were so clumsy that it made people worried, but she followed the instructions without any surprising ideas, so no matter how well the food was cooked, it tasted okay.

I have a new respect for Ayanami.

Shinji Ikari was the first to try it.

It’s really okay.

Looking at the three-no girl wearing an apron.

Beautiful and full of life, completely different from her previous temperament of wearing school uniforms.

Men are usually like this.

When seeing a beautiful girl, one would foolishly imagine what it would be like when she cooks for him. Even Ikari Shinji is no exception. Moreover, he is now teaching her how to cook. He couldn't help but sigh.
"I feel like you, Ayanami, are very suitable to be a housewife, like a good wife and mother."

The girl's face is hidden to the side.

I guess he was still expressionless as usual, but at this moment——

"You..." Ayanami Rei's words had a rare ups and downs, and her tone was filled with a hint of inexplicable emotion, "...what are you suddenly saying..."

Um? ?

Are you angry? Not really.

At first, Shinji Ikari thought he had misheard. He didn't know how to describe the girl's emotion. Should she be considered as feeling embarrassed by his praise?

Does this sentence still sound like that Ayanami Rei?

The Ayanami Rei who was not interested in worldly things, the Ayanami Rei who could survive only on dew and flowers. He had been with this girl for almost a month, and if their relationship was put in the game, the progress would probably have only moved a little bit, but now when he praised her as a good wife and mother, she had such a big reaction.

This doesn't fit with Rei Ayanami's setting at all!
Has she never been praised in her life? Besides, only traditional women would be praised as a good wife and a loving mother. Compared with her beautiful figure, this is too plain.

Ikari Shinji smiled.

He repeated his words maliciously.

"I say, Ayanami, you are very suitable to be a housewife, like a good wife and mother."

She stopped talking.

Shinji Ikari didn't dare to go any further.

The two of them completed the cooking teaching in silence. He looked at Rei Ayanami's face and remembered another thing - Unit 00 was about to start.

In other words.

We will be able to fight side by side soon.

I don't know how Rei Ayanami performs in combat.

If that doesn't work, maybe I have to split my attention to protect her. No, this idea of ​​mine is a bit too arrogant. She has been training for so much longer than me, maybe it was Ayanami who protected me at that time.

The next apostle.

When will the current peaceful daily routine be disrupted?
Thinking about it this way, that German girl with blonde hair and blue eyes came at the perfect time.

soon.

Teaching is over.

After confirming that the girl would not cause a fire or hurt herself, Shinji Ikari felt relieved.

When we said goodbye at the door.

Rei Ayanami followed him for a distance. The sun was still shining outside, casting a large ray of light in the corridor of the apartment. Two people walked out from the dim shadows. The light shone on her, making her look brighter in her uniform. At this time, Rei Ayanami finally spoke,

"Next time, Ikari-kun, let's have a meal together with everyone."

Look at her like this.

Will you invite everyone you know by then?

However, this "we" sounds less lonely. The feeling of loneliness is really unpleasant. Ikari Shinji thought inexplicably, and he put this sudden thought behind him and nodded.
