EVA: Shinji Ikari Returns from the Dragon Clan

Chapter 84 82. Ayanami Rei's past is blank (3k words)
You don't need to drive an EVA to be happy.

In other words.

For Rei Ayanami, only by driving EVA can she be happy.

But she and the German lady obviously have completely different personalities, so why is she still obsessed with driving the EVA, especially since she told him before that she was fighting for the bond with everyone.

Shinji Ikari was a little confused by this.

Everyone has an important reason to drive the EVA, except me, who simply wants to protect this place from being destroyed, just for the heroic spirit in my heart.

On this girl.

What kind of secret is hidden?

Although he wanted to hold the soft Rei Ayanami until the end of time, the two of them couldn't lie on the cold floor forever. After standing up, Shinji Ikari should take the cello and leave. As for doing bad things to the beautiful girl, looking at the pure and ignorant red eyes, he still extinguished this thought.

Today my hand touched the girl's belly.

As soft as cotton.

Not very content.

But that’s it for now. As for the rest, he thought that day should not be far away.

The next afternoon.

In the headquarters.

While passing by Unit-01, Shinji Ikari visited his partner for a while.

The purple-green giant still stayed quietly in the orange-red pool, like a sculpture that would never move. The EVA machine was similar to the Angel. How was Unit-01 built? With the current level of human technology, how could it be built? He had a vague guess in his mind.

At this time, Shinji Ikari recalled last night, when Rei Ayanami had a negative attitude towards his plan to cut the Gordian knot.

But this is such a messy relationship.

It’s better to break it off early.

After confessing to Rei Ayanami, at least the guilt he felt wouldn't be so strong anymore.

After all.

We have to resolve Asuka's issue once and for all.

That beautiful tsundere girl, whose pride on the outside is just a disguise. She is delicate and fragile on the inside, and once she falls in love with someone and gets a response, she will start to make crazy demands.

——Shinji Ikari has begun to feel the heaviness of her body.

Come to the office.

The technical director with blonde hair and teardrop mole was working as usual, drinking black coffee. The densely packed data on the computer screen was dazzling.

After she finished her work and took a break, the two chatted for a while.

Shinji Ikari got straight to the point and asked:
"I want to see Asuka's information, is that okay?"

He made a bold request.

Even though he was the commander-in-chief's son and the pilot of Unit-01, it did not mean that he had the authority to access these materials. These permissions were only available to internal staff, so he could only ask for help from Ritsuko Akagi, with whom he had a good relationship.

"Asuka?"

The usually talkative blonde seemed to have thought of something wrong. She showed a caring smile on her face, "Okay, Shinji, are you interested in her?"

"I'm just a little concerned about her past," Shinji Ikari replied.

Just agree to help.

I thought about it.

He added,
"And Ayanami's..."

"I'm afraid hers won't work." Akagi Ritsuko immediately shook her head and said, "It's not that I don't want to give it to you, but there's no information about Rei."

"Blank?" he couldn't help but ask.

How could it be possible that a person’s information from birth to the present is completely blank?

There was only one possibility, that was someone deliberately erased Rei Ayanami's past information. He thought that there must be something fishy going on, and there must be some secret. Unfortunately, he was not a famous high school detective, and he could not become big or small. What was happening now was not a murder case involving three choices, so he could not unravel the mystery and find something.

And in this department, there is authority to erase data.

Probably only the commander and the deputy commander.

The loneliness in Rei Ayanami, the idea that she can only drive EVA, and her unusual appearance with blue hair and red eyes, I always feel that she is exploring some incredible truth.

But Shinji Ikari had no regrets about this.

"Yes, it's blank. Why, are you getting along well with her recently?" The blonde beauty asked in a casual tone facing the computer.

"Yeah, very good."

"That's it..."

There was no emotion in her tone, but Shinji Ikari felt that the person in charge seemed to be paying too much attention to his relationship with Rei Ayanami. Ritsuko Akagi fiddled with the computer and brought up a file interface, where Asuka's headshot was very prominent.
"Take a look, this is Asuka's information."

Shinji Ikari browsed through it curiously.

The family situation of this German lady was even worse than he had expected.

Her mother became mentally ill due to an experimental accident and hanged herself in the ward, and then her father remarried. The detailed information revealed her past in all its bloody glory. It was natural for a German girl who had no love from her father or mother in her childhood to develop such a character.

Asuka and him.

The two people's situations are somewhat similar.

Shinji Ikari remembers his mother, who seemed to have died in an experimental accident.

And the time of Asuka's mother's death anniversary... Thinking about it this way, he understood something that he couldn't figure out a long time ago - Asuka left for two or three days shortly after arriving in Japan and defeating the apostles. At that time, she must have returned to Germany to pay tribute to her mother.

Such a loveless girl.

How can I stop her from liking me?
He is not a professional psychologist who can relieve people's emotions. He can only think of a way to prevent Asuka from breaking down after being rejected. But as a lifeline, how can a person who is in the water be able to swim out by himself?
I originally thought I had it all figured out.

After reading the information.

Shinji Ikari asked another question, this time about serious matters:

"Ms. Ritsuko, when will the EVA body swap experiment begin?"

"Well... that's not urgent. Before we start, we still need to test the synchronization rate of you using only your bodies without the help of combat suits." Akagi Ritsuko took a sip of coffee and said absentmindedly, "Besides, Unit 00 has just been activated not long ago. Although it has completed a battle, it still needs to test various data."

She knew in her heart that the puppet system was not actually ready yet.

Clone.

If Shinji and Rei get closer and closer... The blonde thought about this and sighed in her heart. If these two people knew the dark truth of the puppet system, that Rei's other clones were used as consumables for pilots, they would definitely not be able to accept it.

Shinji Ikari on the other side nodded after listening.

Speaking of EVA, he thought of Unit-01, the AT stance consistent with the Angel, and the biological tissue under the purple-green armor. Some truths can no longer be ignored.

hesitated.

Shinji Ikari finally asked the question.

"Actually, the EVA machine is a copy of the Apostle, right?"

Ritsuko Akagi was stunned for a moment, but she was not too surprised that he had guessed the truth. In fact, as long as the drivers paid a little attention, they would find these things. Even many staff members had a premonition in this regard.

——Except for a naive friend who was immersed in revenge against the apostles.

"That's right. EVA is a humanoid weapon created by copying an apostle. However, with our current level of human technology, we can only copy a simple body. It needs a soul to activate."

"So if there's no soul, it's just a pile of dead meat."

The blonde said meaningfully.

Uh-huh.

Would you like to listen to what you are saying?

Shinji Ikari thought to himself that this head of the technical department, who was a doctor in biology, actually believed in religious things like souls. However, since even things like traveling through worlds happened, perhaps such metaphysical things really existed.

The words of the soul...

These drivers are the so-called souls, right?
The pilots control the EVA body, and the pilots' souls control the body. This metaphor is quite apt, but what about the machine soul in Unit-01? For some reason, Shinji Ikari felt that he had fallen into some misunderstanding. It was all because the blonde beauty in front of him always liked to speak vaguely.

Riddlers and the like always like to leave their words half-answered.

But after that.

Ritsuko Akagi has already started to care about other topics.

After checking the biology homework she assigned and confirming that Shinji Ikari had studied hard, she nodded with satisfaction.

It's time for Shinji Ikari to leave too.

He said something and turned and walked out of the office.

"You should be loyal, Shinji-kun." Looking at his back, the blonde beauty over there suddenly made a joke. She said in a calm tone, "Of the two girls, Rei is not quite suitable for you. I am more optimistic about Asuka."

Ikari Shinji almost stumbled.

I don't know if he saw a ghost or was dreaming, but he heard Ritsuko Akagi joking again. However, he only likes Rei Ayanami, and it is absolutely impossible for him to be with Asuka.

Shinji Ikari replied helplessly: "It's not what you think."

Then left here.

After coming out, he was about to go to the lounge.

Someone called him from behind.

"Hey, Shinji."

The crisp voice is Asuka.

She was wearing a white floral dress, red Mary shoes, and her eyebrows were neatly drawn straight. This was a completely different dressing style from her previous ones. The beautiful girl seemed to have dressed up specially today and looked very eye-catching.

Is it finally here?
Shinji Ikari guessed that she would pester him.

But as long as the two of them are not alone in such a small space, the German girl's appearance and attitude will be very normal. Asuka has become accustomed to using that arrogant look as a shield in daily life... She is obviously just a fragile girl who calls for her mother when she sleeps.

This is in broad daylight.

Even if she liked it, she couldn't do anything.

After confessing everything to Rei Ayanami, he is now in a very peaceful mood, and he can even talk to Asuka in a relaxed manner.

Shinji Ikari asked with confidence:

"What do you want from me?"

"Date." The pretty girl invited cheerfully, "Shinji, let's go on a date this weekend."
