EVA: Shinji Ikari Returns from the Dragon Clan

Chapter 54 53. Ocean and Marine Biology Research Base

After giving your name.

The man with the temperament of a gigolo started talking to himself.

"The sea..."

“I am also interested in the sea.”

"When I was a child, I saw the color of the sea. It was very beautiful back then," Kaji Ryoji sighed. "Now you can only see it at special bases."

It is indeed very beautiful.

Ikari Shinji thought so.

In another world, he often saw the sparkling sea surface flashing with dazzling light when flying around the world to carry out missions. But the sea there was blue, beautiful and colorful, otherwise he would not have chosen the sea now because he wanted to find a place to relax after training for too long.

such a pity.

this world.

Not only are there no beautiful flowers, but even the beautiful sea has disappeared.

Another thing that's a bit strange is.

This man must have a better acquaintance with Asuka.

But he didn't chat with the German lady much. His attention was almost entirely on him. He was even given a chance to look at the sea. It felt like he was the only one being taken care of...

"Is it beautiful?" Ikari Shinji asked.

"Yes, fifteen years ago, it was a wonderful view."

This seemed to bring back memories for the other person.

The man's eyes seemed lost.

"When I was little, my favorite thing was to walk barefoot on the beach with my close friends and catch crabs and octopuses that stayed on the shore because of the tide. Nowadays, few people know the names of these marine creatures. It's really worth remembering."

"Where were your companions at that time?"

He was stunned for a moment. He didn't expect Shinji Ikari to ask this question.

The cowherd-like man rarely stopped smiling.
“They’re all dead.”

"After all, a lot of things happened in the middle, and they weren't good things. The children might have nightmares if they heard about it at night, so I won't tell you."

There seemed to be something heart-wrenching lurking in his words.

The German lady rudely interrupted this atmosphere.

"Mr. Kaji is so cunning." Asuka crossed her arms and said dissatisfiedly, "Besides, I'm not a child."

"Yes Yes."

Kaji Ryoji smiled and did not refute, but continued,
"You are all EVA pilots, you are not children, you can be proud of it. Especially you, Shinji-kun, I have always heard of your great name in Europe. You have not received any training, but you can activate the third qualified person of EVA in actual combat. You are a super genius."

Asuka next to her looked a little unhappy.

Shinji Ikari thought to himself, aren't you trying to provoke the German lady's emotions? You are here to cause trouble on purpose, right? If she just snorts and turns away, it will be consistent with her character.

"Where."

He replied politely but awkwardly.

"So, want to go?"

"go?"

"You can see the blue sea, the marine life research base." Kaji Ryoji blinked and smiled, "I have connections there, so it's okay even if I take the girls with me."

Go to the sea?
And Ayanami... oh and Asuka.

Shinji Ikari couldn't help but glance at Ayanami Rei who was eating silently. She had a low presence and hadn't participated in the conversation since the beginning. It seemed like it would be nice to watch the sea with such a beautiful girl.

But this person is a little too familiar, like a male version of Miss Misato.

What's more, this style of behavior.

Inexplicable.

Shinji Ikari thought of Ritsuko Akagi not long ago. Is this a gift for meeting her?
Asuka over there.

At this time, she was the first to refuse.

"I don't want to go. What's so good about that?" The German lady snorted coldly and smiled mockingly, "Let this childish idiot and the top student go."

And why did they invite this stupid Shinji specifically? How come I was just invited as a byproduct?

Asuka swallowed these words silently.

Say the words.

Wouldn't that reveal that I'm a little jealous of his popularity?

Just when Kaji Ryoji wanted to say something, a female figure came over and interrupted the conversation. It was Katsuragi Misato. Ikari Shinji and he both saw the appearance of this urban beauty, but Asuka on the opposite side did not notice.

The cowherd-like man suddenly asked,
"Asuka, I heard that you and Katsuragi are living together? Has her sleeping habits improved recently?"

"Still the same."

Asuka was obviously excited when talking about this, and even Shinji Ikari couldn't help but think of her previous complaints, but this was a bad timing, and she really started to complain.
"You sleep in a shabby manner and are sloppy. You also make me eat fast food every day..."

Not finished yet.

A knife-handed blow hit her lightly on the head.

Asuka turned around angrily, obviously she had rarely been treated like this before, so she was very angry. But as soon as the blonde girl turned around, she saw the owner she had spoken ill of.

"..."

Terrible.

What is it like to be caught saying bad things to the person involved twice?

Fortunately, he didn't agree this time.

But Shinji Ikari was about to laugh out loud in his heart, as this was something he rarely did. After all, Asuka would explode at the slightest provocation, while Ryoji Kaji could act like a simple adult and perform such a prank.

really.

Asuka turned her face away and was angry.

"Ah, Katsuragi, long time no see."

Kaji Ryoji greeted cheerfully.

Misato Katsuragi's face didn't look very good, with a look of disgust as if she had encountered something dirty.

She said with a headache, "I really hope that today was just a nightmare, and I didn't really see you in reality. Really, nothing good will happen if I get involved with you."

The two adults present looked like they had a lot in common;

“I don’t think so.”

Jiachi left a frivolous smile.

He also had no intention of chatting with the urban beauty in front of the children.

"I'll just take the first step."

He said again,
"Shinji-kun, the invitation just now is still valid."

Kaji Ryoji waved his hand.

Turn around and leave.

This man has always had a smile on his face since he met him. The "sleeping posture" of Miss Misato mentioned just now is such an ambiguous word that is also worthy of attention.

This person...

Could he be Miss Misato’s boyfriend?

Shinji Ikari couldn't help but think.

No, looking at how miserable Misato Katsuragi usually looks, it doesn't look like she has a boyfriend now. At most, he's an ex-boyfriend.

"invite?"

The female captain came over.

Shinji Ikari conveyed to her what Ryoji Kaji had just said.

Since Asuka is not going, then it will be just him and Ayanami on the ocean trip. As for whether the beautiful girl will agree to go with him, Ikari Shinji has not even considered this issue.

This sea.

You can still go and have a look.

"Is it okay?" Ikari Shinji added, "Let's go see the ocean."

At first, the invitation and sudden kindness from a stranger always make people a little wary and polite, but since the person is someone Miss Misato knows, all I need to do is ask her opinion.

"It's his kindness anyway, so just accept it."

Katsuragi Misato nodded, "You guys must be tired of training all the time, so I'll give you a little break. I can still make the decision on this."

Done.

The urban beauty stared at the impatient German lady beside her.

She said with a smile,

"By the way, Asuka, you have to go too."
