EVA: Shinji Ikari Returns from the Dragon Clan - Chapter 228 226 Shinji-kun, you are so cruel

My nose was filled with the scent of Miss Misato's shampoo.

Very similar to Asuka's.

Shinji Ikari sat on the ridge of the field without feeling dirty, and Misato Katsuragi half leaned in his arms. He thought that Miss Misato would stop crying soon, but women might be made of water, and she didn't stop crying for a long time. She cried and cried, and her ten fingers seemed to be exploring something she once had, wandering on Shinji Ikari's chest.

A woman's body is quite soft.

At this moment, as long as he put his left hand, which had nowhere to put, there, he could easily embrace Miss Misato in his arms.

His intuition told him that Miss Misato, who was half leaning in his arms, was longing for comfort. This was when she was most vulnerable, and it was also the best time to take advantage of Miss Misato, not to mention that it was such a remote place, with only the two of them here. He only needed to hold Miss Misato and obey her, even if he didn't do anything, he could get some wonderful results.

But Ikari Shinji was very rational, so rational that he even thought he was a little cold-blooded. He knew what to say to knock out the woman who was longing for comfort and put an end to everything. He had faced similar situations in the past, but he couldn't bear it every time. But this time he made the choice without hesitation.

"Ms. Misato, it's me."

The voice sounded so clear, but it was indeed the voice of a boy named Shinji Ikari, and not anyone else.

As expected, Misato Katsuragi paused.

Her soft body suddenly became hard, the woman's crying gradually became softer, and her fingers retracted. After realizing that she was seeking comfort from a ten-year-old child, Misato Katsuragi felt a huge sense of shame in her heart for a moment. She thought she was already a mature adult, but once she encountered a hug that could make people relax, she couldn't help but turn into a child again.

She finally suppressed her sadness temporarily and turned into the mature female major again. During her previous crying, perhaps she regarded Shinji, who was half hugging her, as her father's shadow and sought some kind of substitute.

It's finally over.

Shinji Ikari couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

The breeze at night was a little cold, and the sky was dark. Asuka was probably still lying in the hospital, and Rei Ayanami was preparing dinner in the apartment. He didn't know when Miss Misato would cheer up and drive him back. And he was worried if he left Miss Misato alone here.

Shinji Ikari withdrew both of his hands, and Misato Katsuragi half leaned on him. It took her a while before she sat up straight and slowly left his arms.

"…Shinji-kun…you are so cruel." After a long while, Katsuragi Misato said something without any context, and then immediately apologized, "I'm sorry."

"fine."

Ikari Shinji shook his head.

It’s weird.

Katsuragi Misato wiped her tears with the corner of her clothes. The makeup on her face was smudged and looked a bit ugly. She probably noticed this and took out a mirror from her pocket to touch up her makeup. But after a few minutes, her face looked no different from usual.

She didn't seem to mind the crying and hugging.

"Let's go, Shinji-kun." "Yes."

Shinji Ikari took the recorder and returned along the path they had taken. The Renault sports car was still parked there, and Misato Katsuragi looked a little tired. Shinji Ikari was really worried that she would get into an accident due to fatigue. Of course, even if there was an accident, he would be fine.

The embarrassing scene before was still lingering in her mind. Even if Misato Katsuragi felt bored while driving, she had no intention of chatting with Shinji Ikari. Even though it was just a woman's instinctive desire for something around her in her weakness, it was different when she thought about Shinji.

After the same long journey, she sent Shinji Ikari to the door of his apartment. In the dark night, there was a warm light on inside, as if someone was waiting for him to come back.

Shinji-kun forgot to turn off the lights when he went out?Misato Katsuragi was a little confused.

In her memory, Ikari Shinji still lived alone in an apartment not long after arriving in Tokyo. However, this impression was soon broken - probably hearing the sound of a car stopping, Ayanami Rei, who was preparing dinner, came out of the apartment. She was still wearing an apron, and her beautiful red eyes looked over with a little curiosity.

Misato Katsuragi was stunned.

Li...she must have come here temporarily to help with cooking, right?

As she looked over, Rei Ayanami, who was wearing an apron, nodded slightly to her, and then looked at Shinji Ikari. What kind of good housewife is this? Rei's virtuous temperament would make even Misato Katsuragi ashamed. So what's going on? Living together?"Ms. Misato, you must be tired, right? Please drive slowly and be careful on the road."

Shinji Ikari said seriously.

Misato Katsuragi in the sports car was still a little confused.

It shouldn't be possible.

Are these two kids living together... then what about Asuka?Thinking of Asuka, Misato Katsuragi remembered one thing. The girl was hospitalized today. That meant that when she returned home tonight, her apartment would be dark and she would have no dinner. Even the penguin was probably still hungry, cackle-cackle-cackle-cackle-cackle-cackle-cackle-cackle in the dark apartment.

Not only today, but also for many days to come.

My already depressed mood became even worse now.

But Ikari Shinji didn't know what she was thinking. After returning to the apartment, he put down the recorder first. The dinner prepared by Rei Ayanami was almost ready. She made both breakfast and dinner today, which made Ikari Shinji feel a little embarrassed. After the food was served, he couldn't disappoint the girl's kindness, so he could only taste it well.

After dinner, Ikari Shinji took charge of washing the dishes and cleaned up everything. Then he went to the balcony of the apartment with a recorder.

This is what Kaji Ryoji is going to give him.

The information about the Human Instrumentality Project was completely open to him.

"Shinji-kun, when you hear this, I'm afraid I can't come back..."

Kaji Ryoji's voice came from inside.
