EVA: Shinji Ikari Returns from the Dragon Clan

Chapter 38 37. Good Friends with a Clean Heart

Asuka asked for leave.

I heard he'll be back next week.

Shinji Ikari only discovered this the day after the dinner. Normally, Miss Misato would take the initiative to explain the reason for this matter, but this time she was very secretive and did not mention it. It seemed that it was some private matter that was not easy to talk about with others.

He goes to school with Rei Ayanami every day.

The girl seemed to talk more. I don't know when the air conditioner on the train was replaced with a new one. It made me feel drowsy and wanted to fall asleep. Even the unbearable heat disappeared. I also ran into a few students from the same school on the way. After seeing the uniforms they were wearing, they whispered something over there. I guess they were gossiping.

After arriving at school.

The teacher brought some news which I didn’t know whether it was good or bad.

"A three-way talk?"

The so-called three-party interview in Japan is an interview between the student, the student's guardian and the teacher.

The discussion will mainly focus on the student's grades for this semester, whether he or she plans to apply to a public or private high school, the grades required by the target school, etc.

In short, it can be understood as the meaning of parents' meeting.

That's right too.

He is now at the age...

But Shinji Ikari is a pilot, so normally he can just say hello to the headquarters and not have to participate in this kind of thing, but the teacher seems to be having a headache, and it seems that he must go through the process. Today is Friday, and I will use the weekend to talk to the parents, and then the interview will start next week.

Guardian...

Shinji Ikari considered whether or not to tell that bastard father.

Say.

It must be said.

He is not some rebellious teenager.

Whether to come or not is the bastard father's business, but it is his business without even saying anything, and this kind of responsibility must be clearly divided. Of course, he can't just rush up and say that there will be a three-way talk next week, do you want to come? If so, this peaceful mode of getting along might be immediately broken.

During the free time between classes.

He also sought the opinions of delinquent teenagers and military enthusiasts.

"Is it possible that you can't solve this kind of thing by yourself?"

"of course."

"Shinji what are you talking about?"

The two people looked at him as if he were a fool.

Seeing Shinji Ikari's hesitation, they seemed to have guessed something, which was nothing more than that his relationship with his family was not very good, so they tacitly did not ask why he wanted to solve the problem alone.

Instead, they proposed another highly feasible suggestion.

"Come to think of it, you could ask Miss Misato for help."

"Yes, yes."

The two spoke casually.

You just met yesterday.

Were you captured so soon?

Shinji Ikari ignored the two guys' little thoughts. That bastard father would definitely not come, so he might as well just get away with it. Even if he couldn't invite the parents next week, the school would probably not do anything to him as a driver.

Finish talking about this.

Shinji Ikari wanted to return to the classroom, but two people stopped him, acting like they were interrogating a criminal.

"Wait, Ikari-san."

"Yes, wait a moment."

Don't you usually call Shinji? Why are you suddenly so serious today?

Shinji Ikari asked with some confusion.
"Ah...what's wrong?"

"Excuse me for a moment. I have a question that I want to ask since yesterday."

"please say."

"——How far have you and Ayanami-san progressed?"

Both of them stared at him.

what.

Sure enough, it came.

Shinji Ikari knew this was waiting for him. Ever since Ayanami sent the invitation to these two people, he had a premonition that something like this would happen. That girl had no idea of ​​the lethality of this thing. If she said something like "Do you think Ayanami-san would do this?" again, she probably wouldn't be believed at all.

"Oh my friend."

"Will a friend invite a friend's stranger to his home for dinner?"

"Maybe...right?" Ikari Shinji said hesitantly.

"..."

"Do you think we will believe this nonsense?" Dong Er asked.

"surrender."

Shinji Ikari raised his hands and immediately pleaded guilty. He changed the term to a relative term.

"Should we consider ourselves good friends?"

"..."

Two people stared over.

There was absolutely no sign of guilt on his face.

The three of them stared at each other until the bell was about to ring, but the stare didn't end. There was nothing they could do but end the confrontation as soon as possible.
"Dong Er, do you think he can be trusted?"

"Normally I wouldn't believe it."

"He should be a single man who is on the same side as us. Why don't we ask him to make a promise?"

"Promise not to betray us?"

“…No guarantees.”

The eyes of both of them suddenly lost all their luster, and their bodies lost support and fell to the ground like a beach of slime.

A bit too exaggerated.

"Are you okay?" Shinji Ikari asked perfunctorily.

“We are no longer on the same side.”

The two people said in a trance.

Shinji Ikari scratched his forehead in worry, and waited until the two adolescent boys recovered before returning to the classroom together.

On the road.

He remembered something that he had been concerned about for a long time.
"Speaking of which, speaking of Ayanami, what was she like in the class in the past?"

"Not even close." was the answer.

“It feels like world-weariness, but it’s not quite like that.”

Dong Er, on the other hand, gave an ambiguous answer.

It seems so.

Ayanami has changed a lot since her initial appearance.

Shinji Ikari returned to the classroom with a mood that he wasn't sure if it could be considered happy, and continued to think about how to handle the parent-teacher meeting. Since he couldn't solve it himself, he could only ask the headquarters how to handle it.

I don't know how the two girls, Rei Ayanami and Asuka, handled this matter.

As for Asuka who will be back next week, it should be Miss Misato who will take care of it.

What about Ayanami?
It must be Miss Misato too.

Should I ask him to take care of this matter as well? Shinji Ikari was still thinking about this matter until he entered the headquarters.

This lack of state was soon noticed by the person in charge, Ritsuko Akagi. She drank a strong and fragrant black coffee, looked like she had stayed up too late, and wore her usual white coat. The person in charge with blonde hair and teardrop mole asked casually in the chair in front of the computer,
"What's wrong? You look distracted?"

"It's about the three-party talks."

"Ah..." She suddenly realized, "Yes, it's time now. When are you going to tell the commander about this?"

"Ms. Ritsuko."

Ever since the blonde beauty agreed to teach him last time, the relationship between the two has become pretty good.

He also changed his address to the more intimate Miss Ritsuko.

"Can you help me convey this to him?" Ikari Shinji thought for a moment and finally said tentatively, "Or, if he can't come, I wonder if Ms. Ritsuko can do me a favor?"

She was startled.
