EVA: Shinji Ikari Returns from the Dragon Clan

Chapter 98 96. Goodbye, Ikari Shinji

Shinji Ikari was a stranger to this woman with twin ponytails and red glasses, but the same was not true for the beautiful girl next to her.

Asuka thought, oh no.

that's terrible!

She really didn't expect to meet someone she knew in Europe here. If it was Mr. Jiaji, it would be fine, as he didn't know much about her. But this woman was different. She was her guardian since she was a child. When she was in Germany, she and this guy with glasses had some incompatibilities, especially because this guy always liked to tease her.

Anyway, nothing good will come of being associated with this woman.

After seeing the two of them.

The strange woman's eyes lit up.

She walked quickly over to the two drivers, and Akagi Ritsuko had no choice but to follow.
"Hey, Princess, long time no see. Isn't this our invincible air force ace, the most powerful princess?" The strange woman wearing red glasses spoke with a bang. She showed a sincere smile and then gave the German lady a big hug. "Asuka, how are you doing in Japan recently?"

It seems that he is an acquaintance of Asuka.

So Shinji Ikari speculated that this woman should be from the European branch.

But none of this mattered. Instead, he noticed something else that was more worth noting: when Asuka was in Germany, did someone call her "princess"? He had thought Asuka was very similar to the princess in Frozen. It was not surprising that she loved ice cream so much that she had the ability to control ice and snow. But she was actually called a princess. It was a bit exaggerated. As expected of Asuka.

But Asuka's face immediately blushed.

If there was no one around, she would definitely accept this title proudly, princess or something, she thought this kind of praise was not exaggerated for her. After all, when she was in Germany, as the only pilot, she had such confidence with excellent ability.

But now, in front of Shinji, it's too embarrassing to be called like this.
"Don't tell me you're talking about princess, you bespectacled girl."

The proud German princess said with a look of dissatisfaction.

The girl with glasses in front of him scratched her head in confusion. She seemed to see something she couldn't understand, and her smile became a little confused. "Even when we were in Germany before, you didn't refute this title. It seems that you have changed a lot, princess."

"Anyway, don't call me that for now."

Asuka could already feel the strange look from the boy next to her.

Her earlobes turned red, and she was so embarrassed that she wanted to find a corner to hide, just like the fat man in combat uniform before. How should I put it? Young people always like some names that sound very handsome and gorgeous. Now she feels like her dark history has been exposed, and in front of the person she likes.

Oh my God! What on earth did she do wrong?

That's why she felt that nothing good would happen if she got involved with this girl with glasses.

The two continued to reminisce about the past.

Fortunately, the topic this time was very normal, just asking each other about how they were doing recently, and there was no point in making Asuka too angry.

At this time, Akagi Ritsuko suddenly spoke up to remind:
“玛丽小姐… … ”

"Is it okay? I just met someone I know and chatted with."

The girl with glasses called Mary didn't even turn her head and had no intention of stopping to talk to Asuka. She chatted happily with the German girl with a smile, and glanced at Shinji Ikari from time to time.

It seems like everyone is paying attention to me.

Ikari Shinji thought.

He didn't interrupt either.

It's understandable that acquaintances want to reminisce about the past. It should be fine after a while. If I leave Asuka behind and go alone now...

A few minutes later.

The reminiscence finally ended.

But the woman named Mary did not leave with the blonde beauty.

She turned her eyes from Asuka to Ikari Shinji, staring at him closely. Her focused eyes made Ikari Shinji wonder if he had put on his clothes backwards today. He looked over and saw that he was still wearing a white shirt and black trousers. But there was a gleam of curiosity under her red glasses, as if she had discovered something interesting.

So she quickly moved closer in an instant, rushing to his side like a rabbit, and the body of the woman in the white coat was extremely close to him.

"Hello, what's the matter?"

Ikari Shinji asked.

There was no answer. The girl with glasses suddenly sniffed his body like a puppy. Her cheeks and neck were very close to him, and there was an inexplicable body fragrance. After a few seconds, she seemed to confirm something important.

"It tastes very good, it's LCL, as expected, you are also a pilot."

Shinji Ikari couldn't help but feel uncomfortable with the presumptuous behavior of the older sister wearing glasses who came up to him to smell him. People always feel unhappy when their safe distance is violated by others. He thought that this girl was more familiar than Miss Misato when he first met her. But soon he didn't have to endure this strange behavior because the girl with glasses was pushed away.

"Hey Princess..." she complained.

I haven't sniffed it carefully yet.

Asuka had already pushed her aside forcefully.

The pretty girl couldn't stand seeing other women around Shinji. She stood between the two of them like a hen protecting her chicks. Asuka said viciously,
"Stop sniffing around and talk to me properly."

"strangeness……"

After returning to her normal state from her impolite look just now, the girl with red glasses lifted her chin and thought for a while, as if she was puzzled by Asuka's reaction. Her purple-green eyes looked very curious about this - Shinji Ikari only noticed the color of her eyes at this time.

"Princess, why are you so protective of him? What is your relationship?" "...Friends."

Asuka stammered in response.

If it was some time ago, she could openly say that they were a couple, but they just broke up; of course, if Shinji wasn't here, she would have the audacity to say they were good friends, but Shinji was here. In short, there were various reasons, so she finally chose the ambiguous word "friend".

And Shinji Ikari was still thinking about the identity of the pilot... but he was recognized so easily.

I've been soaking in LCL all day and it's almost pickled into me.

There was a faint but lingering smell of blood on Shinji Ikari's body now, which even the last time he took a hot spring bath could not get rid of the smell. He was not surprised to be recognized, but judging whether it was the driver by the smell on his body did remind him that this was also a solution.

"Friend? Are you really not jealous?"

"certainly not."

The conversation over there is still going on.

After a few words back and forth, Miss Mary brought the topic back to Ikari Shinji, "Hey boy, I already know who you are. You must be the third qualified candidate. Let's introduce ourselves to each other."

Introduce yourself...

Shinji Ikari did not refuse.
"Hello, I'm Shinji Ikari, the third qualified candidate. Thank you for your guidance."

"I'm Mashibo Marie Irantrias, the head of the technical department of the European branch. Please give me your guidance."

The two men stretched out their hands and shook them.

The handshake was brief.

At this time, Shinji Ikari was about to pull his hand back, but he immediately found that his hand was being held tightly by the other party and would not let go. Makiwa Mari on the other side said in a cute tone with a long tail sound,
"I was not sure just now. Long time no see, Shinji-kun~"

"haven't seen you for a long time?"

Ikari Shinji asked sharply.

He was sure that he had no memory of this woman in his mind. Someone with such a distinct personality would definitely leave some impression after spending some time with her.

"Oh, yes. I held you in my arms when you were a child."

Makiba looked very sad, but that expression was too fake, obviously fake, "It seems like you forgot about me, how sad."

"How come I don't know about this? And please let go of your hand and stop pestering Shinji."

A certain girl was gritting her teeth nearby.

"Princess, you didn't care about this before, did you?"

The words say so.

But she finally let go of her hand.

Shinji Ikari was speechless and complained. Relatives and elders whom you only met once when you were a child, or maybe even when you were in your cradle, are now more than ten years later and you have grown up. Who would still remember them?

But what she said... means that she is someone who is familiar with my parents.

But this Makiwa Mari doesn't look very old, so that's why her personality is so unstable. Is she really from the same generation as her parents?
He couldn't help asking:
"Miss Mary, you and my parents..."

"I met them in college. I have a pretty good relationship with your mother."

mom.

Shinji Ikari was stunned for a moment. This term was quite far-fetched for him.

After all, that person died in an experimental accident when he was a child, and combined with the time he spent in another world, it seems that we haven’t seen each other for about ten years, and there will never be a chance to see each other again in the future.

"When I was graduating from university and going to study in Europe, I suddenly heard the bad news."

Carefully observing his facial features, the woman in red glasses suddenly sighed. At this moment, she looked a bit like a steady elder.
"You look so much like her."

After all, they are mother and son.

He thought that it was a certainty that they looked like him. It seemed that all elders would always say "This child looks just like his parents" when they visited their children. It was a very common compliment. Ikari Shinji had originally planned to ask about his parents' stories during their college years, to find out if Ikari Gendo, the jerk father, had been such a jerk since then.

But the chat lasted too long, and the blonde beauty who was waiting to get off work nearby could no longer wait.

Akagi Ritsuko looked at her watch and urged,
"Miss Mary, if we continue chatting, I'm afraid we won't have enough time."

"Oh? Is it almost time?" Makiba said with a bit of regret, "Then let's talk next time when we are free. I still have to go and hand over the work."

"Ok."

"Well, goodbye, Ikari Shinji-kun."

She nodded and smiled, calling him by his full name.
