Ikari Shinji's Harem Comedy Daily Life

Chapter 26: Lovely Wife

Uh... what the adults said is true. It is indeed true that throughout Pachelbel's Canon, the cello is just paddling along.

But this paddling isn't in vain. The violin is the soul, the viola sets the rhythm—and I, the cello, set the tone! No matter how joyful, how exhilarating, or how unbridled the violin sounds, you must follow my tune. In the words of the cattle, "However you roam, you must revolve around me."

Only those who've played together know how awkward it can be. The more people there are, the more awkward it gets, mainly because... the synergy isn't there. It takes hours of practice, serious syncing. You're constantly testing others' rhythm and pitch, and while it might sound okay, you're actually testing the waters of being off-key. You see everyone tapping their feet, but that's because without rhythm, it's unreliable.

but.

Ikari and Ayanami never had this problem.

That evening, when Ikari Yui returned home, she was greeted by the aroma of cooked food and the sounds of melodious music. She had gotten off work early and was looking forward to going home to have some fun, but unfortunately, Ikari didn't come to the door to greet her.

There is a little bit of sadness and emotion.

"Shinji?" Turning around and walking to Ikari's door, Yui quietly waited for the music inside to end. Then she knocked on the door: "Rei? - I'm so glad you're playing together again? Has Shinji come to terms with it?"

"Ah... Mom." Little Ikari put down the bow in his hand when he saw Ikari Yui coming home. He asked, "Thank you for your hard work. Welcome back - do you want to eat? Oh, by the way, I'll prepare something for you..."

"No, no, you guys keep going." Ikari Yui made a pushing gesture and took off her old coat and hung it up. The young wife walked over to her son and adopted daughter. She smiled and said, "It's a little strange, though. Why are you two playing Pachelbel's Canon together? Um...are you practicing alone?"

"Yes, for one thing, Rei is helping me with my rehabilitation." Ikari nodded and said, "Secondly, this is just a routine part of the school festival. The class monitor is asking Rei for help, so I guess the school doesn't have any good programs to show off. It doesn't matter anyway—we're still short of two people, and I really can't think of anyone in school who can help."

"Ah~ How about this." Ikari Yui suddenly became playful and took out a spare school uniform from Rei's clothing cabinet. She held it in front of her body and tried it on. The usually gentle and elegant young woman now acted as playful and cute as a young girl. "How about Mom come help? Hehe, it seems like we can get away with it~"

Skirt, six'nine?#?④?nine"three:⑥"one'③,five'"..."

Uh...

You know what, this isn't impossible. The Ikari family is known for their baby faces, but... this is too scary.

Ikari Yui has always been a scary woman.

Just thinking about how terrifying this woman was is terrifying. For her son, she willingly allowed her soul to be trapped inside EVA-01. Even after the sun's destruction (which would take about five billion years), the EVA would continue to wander the universe as proof of humanity's (Ikari's) existence. But the price: her soul would be forever trapped inside EVA-01, unable to regenerate. A conscious vegetative state, a veritable sea of ​​despair—all for her son.

Maybe I'm ignorant, but I've never seen a woman more cruel than this one.

When this woman started taking care of her husband and children, it was really...

"Stop... stop..." Xiao Ding covered his face and quickly stopped his lovely mother: "Um... Mom, we are still live streaming here."

"? Uh, live?"

"Well, it's just practice anyway, what if I make some money?" Xiao Ikari pointed to the computer next to him, then looked at the number of people watching the live broadcast: "...Oh? Mom, congratulations - everyone says you are really cute. Probably... more than 10,000 people say you are cute..." Wait, I'm going to block some Dogecoins!

"……?!?!ah!"

With a scream, Ikari Yui turned and ran away.

"...She's really cute." Ayanami looked at little Ikari, then looked in the direction of Ikari Yui who ran away: "Shinji-san, mom said I look a lot like her. Do you think I'll become like mom in ten years?"

"Hmm..." After thinking about it, that's not bad: "Maybe."

"Really? That's good." Ayanami smiled and put away her violin: "That's it. Well...get used to your live broadcast, let's go comfort mom. It's a little embarrassing indeed-"

"……it is good."

Ayanami and Ko Ikari packed up their instruments, quickly turned off the live broadcast, and went to Ikari Yui's room to see their mother.

The house had two bedrooms and a living room, one large and one small, and they were quite extreme, one 22 square meters and the other 12 square meters. Ikari Yui was squeezed into the smaller room. At this moment, his wife was lying on the bed like an ostrich, her face buried deep in the pillow.

It's so embarrassing, I hope you won't be socially disgraced?

"Mom?——We're coming in." After knocking on the door, Ikari walked in front, and Ayanami pushed him from behind: "Um, are you tired?..."

"Shinji-nii—apologize."

"Forget it, Shinji doesn't need to apologize for this." Ikari Yui was very responsible. It would be even better if the blush on her face could go away. "Ahem! This is indeed my responsibility. I didn't see it clearly just now, and it was so rude in front of the child! It's the mother's fault."

"...No, it's my fault." Ayanami and Ko Ikari quickly admitted their mistake and decided not to cause trouble for Yui Ikari at this time.

"Huh." He felt a little more confident, after all, the two kids across from him were so servile. "What's going on? Is this the latest trending YouTube?"

"Uh, yes, and not really." Xiao Ikari actually didn't find the right position for himself, but it didn't matter.

Those who seduce others with their beauty will love them later when their beauty fades, and love later will end their kindness—a full-screen face won't get you far; an interesting soul is rare. Xiao Ding didn't intend to continue livestreaming; he just wanted to make a fortune quickly—and then buy Bitcoin. If I remember correctly, pharmaceutical stocks saw a sharp rise when the epidemic first broke out, so I'll keep a record of that.

When the time comes, you will be able to have a blast taking advantage of these two leveraged bonuses.

But that was in the future, and my memory is very vague. Ikari explained that he was still the manager of Shincho in 15, and Ikari Yui sighed.

"Well, it's a good thing we're abroad - otherwise it might be bad." What Ikari Yui didn't know was that her family of three was being presented in a strange way to certain groups on the other side of the ocean. Including the cute scene she just had -

Although everyone in the world knows that beauty is beauty, and this is evil; although the five colors make people blind, and although all beauties turn into skeletons - but everyone likes it very much.

Being good-looking means having a future.

Xiao Ding originally wanted to take the talent test - to make a fortune by becoming the wealth code of Volaf in District 11.

But in the end, he solved the problem with his looks—of course, it wasn't just his looks that mattered.

Chapter 27 Ayanami: Was I so miserable last round?

Theoretically, there is only abstract time in the world, but humans have enriched time with numerical values ​​and specific meanings; theoretically, there was no electronic language in the world before humans, and it was humans who appeared and created it.

Similarly, love does not exist in the world. Even after the emergence of humans, it is not innate. What is innate is desire.

Just as humans gave meaning to time, they gave this abstract desire a new name; just as humans invented electronic language, they invented it to provide convenience for themselves.

After saying so many high-sounding things, let’s talk about something vulgar - actually it’s not vulgar, it’s just that some people make it vulgar - 14 years old, a teenager.

He was full of life and in good health. By the second game, he could already bring Katsuragi, who was twice his age plus a year, to his knees and beg for mercy. Such a strong young man, already accustomed to the pleasures of life—the daily suffering he endured was immense. Fortunately, Ikari was mentally unstable.

Physically normal, mentally abnormal—it's hard to say what's going on. You said Ikari Yui and Ayanami around you aren't easy to take down. Isn't there that nymphomaniac Katsuragi over there? Just like Guda-sensei from Diablo 3 or the giant bird from the Monster Hunter series. She'd be a great target for practice in multiple playthroughs... So, will Katsuragi kill me?

However... because of the carnal issues last week, which brought me a serious emotional debt and very painful consequences, Katsuragi is fine with maintaining his usual cheerful and cheerful life.

Really getting started... My mind is about to explode. Of course, whether my mind explodes or not is irrelevant, now my body is about to explode.

"Shinji, are you okay?"

The next day was Wednesday, and when I woke up that morning, my shameless neighbor Katsuragi came over and shamelessly asked for my meal! ——But considering that I always paid my meal ticket on time and in excess, I didn't mind him.

"You don't even have to live on campus when you go to college." Her mother had already gone to work. Ayanami said she wanted to make big news by stealing her brother's bicycle, so she went to school first.

I don't know if he went to battle with Asuka.

Ikari stayed behind for various reasons—he had to clean up the dishes, and it was obvious that Katsuragi, the big salmon, couldn't do that. Well-fed and well-drinking, Katsuragi lazily laid back, "Look at you. You don't look like a female college student on active duty. Your parents gave you money to go to school, but you spend your days either sleeping or drinking, and you come over here to harass the younger male neighbor who's a junior high school student. You look like this, wearing these sloppy clothes, and dressing like a scoundrel; you're just idling around all day, and you're always drinking—what can you do in the future?"

"...Uh, Shinji, do you want a bride?" Looking at what happened to Ikari today, Katsuragi looked awkwardly at Ikari's back as he washed dishes, lowered his head and hesitated for a moment, then asked weakly.

"I don't want it at all!" The Japanese words came out one by one. After washing the dishes, Ikari came back to his senses and wiped his hands: "Why marry her home? To worship her as an ancestor? - Oh, have you considered joining the harem?"

"Your vision of a harem is nothing more than a gathering of elderly people." Katsuragi pointed out the problem directly. He looked around and saw no one was around. He had just confirmed that Ikari Yui had boarded the bus, and Ayanami had sped off on her bicycle. So, he lowered his head and said in a seductive voice, "Don't you want to..."

"Not at all!!" It was fine at ordinary times, but at this time, Xiao Ikari always thought of the Riddler version of Katsuragi. Taking a deep breath, Xiao Ikari said: "Dear Miss Katsuragi Misato, you are very disappointing to me now, do you know that?"

"Uh... Hey, it was just a joke, there's no need to make such a big deal out of it..." Katsuragi was also a little angry.

"I'm not an adult yet, do you want to have some social influence? (Second round experience) If your life is confined to this little thing, do you, a 20-year-old female college student, still have a future? - How are you going to live your life from now on? If I, a junior high school boy who has tasted the marrow and is addicted to sex, make unreasonable demands on you, are you going to fall into depravity with me? At 14, I have no salary, no future, my family is in financial difficulty, and I need to work hard - dear Miss Katsuragi Misato! If you want to have sex, sure, no one will refuse a beautiful girl like you. Let alone 20, you are 30 this year. When I was 14, you would also be very attractive. But - if I have enough money, I will keep you in my golden house in the form of living together - maybe not a golden house, just a house with enough living space for you and me to live together. But you don't have to work or go out in the future, you just need to live a casual life of making shit."

"Uh... Mr. Shinji, you're right, your PUA sounds quite attractive." Katsuragi savored it for a moment, then savored it for a moment, and finally felt a little disgusted. He teased Ikari, "I'm waiting for that day. If you become financially independent that day, remember to keep me as your mistress. I won't have to go out to work. Remember to add me to your harem. Is there such a good thing? Hahahaha..."

"Is there anything else? No problem, I'm going to school. Remember to close the door and put the key in the designated place." Xiao Ikari walked to the door and put on his shoes.

"Oh, okay, okay, I get it."

————————————————————————————

Xiao Ikari went to school.

Normally, there's no room for another one. Between extreme physical need and extreme psychological fear, he feels like he's going to become a psychopath if he doesn't change something. If Kaworu Nagisa stood in front of him today, he'd probably be completely different than he was last week...

Completely different ways of dying. Last time it was fresh squeezing, this time it was probably lingchi - a violent mood.

Of course, the world no longer revolves around him.

This wasn't the time he was driving EVA in the second game—this was a normal world. On the morning of June 24, 2015, Ayanami rode her bicycle to school, leaving a trail of dust all the way.

She also often has a dream.

In my dream, he was the gentlest, the most beautiful. He was the one who saved me, the one who silently sacrificed. It truly felt like from now on, you were my ordinary self, my blizzard, my poverty, my glory, and for the rest of my life, my entire existence was yours.

Unfortunately, he died in the end, on the eve of dawn.

In the second round, Ayanami once said: Happiness can only be found in dreams.

The current third-rounder Ayanami Rei finds it extremely difficult to understand this strange mood. Having grown up in a normal environment, she's been relatively mentally normal except for the orphans of her parents four years ago, when she was adopted by Ikari Yui. Her silence is simply a function of her personality, not a result of a lack of human activity or androids.

Ayanami in the third round was quite puzzled - why was I so miserable in the second round?

Chapter 28 Ayanami Riki

Of course, what was even more puzzling was the girl's subtle thoughts—she felt that she and this cousin… had such a strong bond. If she wasn't suffering from a Chuunibyou, then the bond was incredibly strong. But even if she was suffering from a Chuunibyou, this Chuunibyou was still as captivating as a movie. Just wait and dream every night, and it was much more engaging than watching a TV show—though after watching it four times in four years, I was getting a little tired of it.

It’s okay. I can just read some boring light novels to clear my mind and still enjoy reading them before going to bed at night.

My brother was really awesome last round!

It's during this round that she seems to be a bit mentally unstable. Although she's hinted at it many times, Ayanami in the third round isn't sure if her chuunibyou dream is real.

Anyway, I like it.

Before meeting Asuka, she had always thought that her dream was just a case of her middle school syndrome. But it was not until she met Asuka that she felt a little excited, a little terrified, a little stunned, and mostly confused.

I dreamt about this red-haired monkey. As for the connection between this monkey and last week... no comment, eight languages. He's been persecuting Shinji from last week, and I don't know why, but he's just persecuting him first. A complete sadist.

Last week, he actually dared to fight with me in the elevator - that means I was indifferent last week, otherwise it would definitely not be me who couldn't get out of the elevator.

Of course, that doesn't matter, what's done is done. The main thing is that last week's brother was... so miserable. It was obvious that he was trying very hard to get along with Soryu.

But this guy called Soru is really good at pushing things too far. The more her brother treats her, the more her sadistic tendencies become—this kind of red-haired monkey must not be tolerated! The most important thing is...

The older brother in the second week longed for Sōryu just as he longed for himself.

Ayanami's personality has always been very normal.

At least this week...

Ayanami's hand reached into her schoolbag, as if looking at something. A gleam of light flashed in her eyes, and she murmured in the classroom: "Soryu, your opponent is me!"

There were many memories from last week, but this time around, Ayanami knew certain things wouldn't be the same. Firstly, on June 22, 2015, that fateful day, nothing strange happened. This Earth was a very materialistic place. She hadn't awakened any superpowers, and it didn't seem like Shinji had either.

Old Ikari, who had a terrible relationship with Young Ikari last week, didn't appear this time. Yui Ikari, who disappeared last week, is happily alive this time. Yui Ikari doesn't have a high level of education, and she didn't see Vice Commander Fuyutsuki this time.

Katsuragi... Katsuragi...

I had seen Katsuragi, then 16, when I was 10, and I couldn't compare that 29-year-old "auntie" to the 16-year-old girl full of youth. But looking at her now, they really are similar in personality, and now I see - Asuka has indeed appeared.

Ayanami thought a lot.

Early that morning, she came to the literature club where she was the only one there.

Since there was no one around, she just waited for someone here.

"Hey, top student literature girl?" There was a knock on the literature department door. A voice that wasn't hostile but sounded very unpleasant came through. The red-haired girl knocked on the literature department door and walked in. "I heard you called me?"

"Yeah, you're early." With about 30 minutes left before class, Ayanami was a little surprised she'd arrived so early. She'd left a note and gone upstairs, meaning Asuka had arrived at school around the same time. "Well, for the school festival, each class will be performing a program—Shinji and I have already thought of one... Can you play the violin?"

In my "impression", Asuka can do it.

"Huh?" Asuka was stunned for a moment, but then she understood. "You guys want to play an ensemble? You... a literary girl can understand that. But Shinji? Him? He can... well, you're right."

In the "impression", Shinji Ikari is the most artistic of the three pilots - he plays the cello really well and deserves applause (actually there are some minor problems).

"Shinji-san has a strong musical talent. According to mom, Shinji-san has been called a genius by his teachers since he was young. He plays the cello as if he has practiced for ten years, and he is not like an ordinary child at all. He is also very accomplished in piano - but due to family changes, he did not continue to receive guidance from famous teachers. However, Shinji-san has never stopped practicing for ten years." Ayanami Rei was very proud when talking about Shinji Ikari.

"If you're willing, Soryu-kun, I invite you to join our ensemble."

"?"

In her "dream," Asuka felt like her relationship with this "honored student," "connected," "first," "first suitable candidate" wasn't very good. She even cut him off in the elevator. Ummm, pretty childish.

But it seems to be because of Shinji Ikari - motherfucker! Scheisse, my heart hurts!

"Thank you for the invitation." Asuka felt that it wouldn't be a good idea to make things too awkward, so she found a chair and sat down. Observing the literature club, she asked Ayanami, "From your attitude yesterday, I thought you really disliked me. I never thought you would invite me to such an event."

"I called you here because I need you."

"...? Huh? What do you mean?"

“Because no one else can do it.”

"Hmm..." Actually, this sentence is not bad. Others can't do it, but only I can do it. It can be regarded as a kind of affirmation of ability. But this sentence is quite uncomfortable to hear: "How should I put it? Let me think about it."
