EVA: Shinji Ikari Returns from the Dragon Clan

Chapter 42 41. Unit-, Departure
It's already the third day since Miss Misato left.

The train rumbled along, like a snow train that would never stop, just like this peaceful everyday life.

Cool air blew into the car.

Shinji Ikari was sitting with Rei Ayanami, while the German girl was standing alone, holding the ring and staring blankly. Asuka was very skilled in carrying her schoolbag on her right shoulder, without the discomfort she had when she first arrived. It seemed that she had integrated into campus life.

There were clearly still many empty seats around the carriage.

She stood like a fool,
Miss Misato is gone, and Asuka should be living alone now. Looking at her look like a young lady, it must be difficult for her to take care of herself. I don't know how she has been spending the past few days.

The three remained silent.

Ever since Asuka joined the commute, it was like this in most cases. Occasionally, she would take the initiative to chat with Ikari Shinji. She had no awareness of being a spoiler and would always butt in. Anyway, they were colleagues and the last fight was a burying of the hatchet, so let's just keep it like this. After a while, I got used to it.

The good news is.

After eating a meal with Ayanami.

Asuka, who was always grateful for what she had received, no longer targeted the top students. At this moment, she was staring at the scenery outside the train, and the clanging sound of the rails made the atmosphere even quieter.

She suddenly asked,

"Aren't you curious about what happened that day?"

Was it the love letter and the flag words that were torn up in the shoe cabinet a few days ago?
Ikari Shinji nodded and replied:

"I'm a little curious."

"Why then?"

"Will you give me an answer if I ask you?"

"No way." She snorted.

"If that's the case, then what else is there to ask?"

It turns out he was here to play a trick on me.

he thought.

And at that time, the words "I'm so sad" were clearly written on your face. You were so sad that you had to cover it up with anger. You looked like a poor golden retriever who was abandoned and in urgent need of comfort.

Rei Ayanami watched their conversation quietly, with her beautiful face expressionless as always. She almost never participated in their conversations, and only responded when Shinji Ikari spoke to her explicitly. It was estimated that the relationship between the two girls would not improve in his lifetime. He imagined the scene of the two girls holding hands, but he couldn't imagine it at all.

If I really saw that kind of scene, it would be like the world was destroyed.

At this time the tram came into the station.

The speed gradually slowed down.

Suddenly, the three of them were shocked at the same time, as if the tram had hit something.

The conductor on the platform blew a sharp whistle in a hurry to drive away the crowd over there. Shinji Ikari looked out the window of the slowly slowing train and saw that the busy crowd seemed to have stopped their unconscious movements day after day. Dozens of faces all stopped and stared in the same direction.

When getting off the tram.

At the place where the cordon was set up, someone was cleaning up the scene. The three people saw a bright streak of blood flowing quietly. This color seemed to put a pause on daily life.

"Someone jumped the tracks."

"The train is delayed again. What a nuisance."

Such complaints were heard from the crowd near the platform.

Shinji Ikari noticed that Rei Ayanami's eyes were fixed on the red. The red blood was reflected in her red eyes, like a pool of red water, which looked very contrasting. He remembered that Rei Ayanami seemed to be a vegetarian and didn't eat meat at all. He didn't know how much of a shock it would have on her mind to see the accident scene.

"Ayanami?"

The girl shook her head and followed him without saying anything. He looked at Rei Ayanami worriedly. This bloody scene might have a severe impact on her. He could only hope that she was okay. After all, even if he wanted to comfort her, he didn't know how to comfort her.

this accident.

The previous quiet atmosphere turned into an extremely depressing one. If it continued like this, I might suffocate to death.

Both girls seemed to be immersed in what happened before.

Asuka walked forward in a dull manner. At this moment, Ikari Shinji realized that he seemed to have overlooked the girl next to him. She also saw the accident scene, but seemed to have just glanced at it and walked away, not caring at all. In this respect, she is much better than Ayanami. He thinks the blue-haired girl can learn from her...

The German lady walked for a while and suddenly stopped, as if talking to herself, and asked a question that sounded incomprehensible.
“When does a person grow up?”

It’s better not to learn it.

what the hell.

Is this the problem you've been struggling with these days?

He thought that this question sounded like the secretion of adolescent hormones, which caused people to question their own existence and the existence of the world. Overthinking would lead to nihilism. At this time, they should be thrown into the mountains to take a week-long survival course, and fight with American black bears with bare hands without anything on their bodies.

So Shinji Ikari ruined the atmosphere by responding with a sarcastic remark.
"As long as you keep saying this, you will never become an adult."

"Humph!"

Asuka glared at him and stormed off.

It's better to be angry than to keep dwelling on what just happened, but it seems that I didn't get a satisfactory answer. Don't you really want to consider getting some psychological counseling? There doesn't seem to be many psychologists in this department.

Shinji Ikari looked at her back.

She has completed university, is the ace of the European Air Force, and is even the pilot of EVA No. 2, but she is still immersed in such questions... Thinking about the last time I asked myself why I was flying EVA, perhaps this girl is much more fragile than she looks. She is such a proud princess.

If I knew there was a bomb buried underground, I don’t know if I would still be able to think about these things every day.

Sometimes not knowing anything is a blessing.

He was truly moved.

There is a lamentable barrier between us.

but.

The mood-breaker was finally driven away.

Now it was finally just him and Ayanami, and Ikari Shinji felt that his sarcastic remark was really right. The two lonely people walked forward in silence. Sometimes, just walking together is the best companionship.

"Dududu-"

It was as if the pocket watch of time had stopped.

The mobile phone on his body suddenly rang. Shinji Ikari stopped, and the blue-haired girl beside him also stopped and cast her red eyes at him.

He answered the phone.

It was Miss Misato's voice.

"——Shinji-kun, there was a problem during the meeting, and we need Unit-01 to be dispatched."
