I participated in the development of EVA

Just as Ikari Fumihiko was about to escape, he was grabbed by Ibuki Emi.

"Don't wait. I'm worried that if you wait, I don't know how long it will take. I'm calling to ask now."

Fumihiko Ikari had no choice but to take out his cell phone and call Yui Ikari.

"what's up?"

Ikari Yui's voice came from the other end of the phone, and Ikari Fumihiko was a little surprised.

How come Ikari Yui, who usually goes around in circles before getting to the point when she calls on the phone, suddenly became so straightforward?

"I would like to ask about the arrangements for Unit-00 after the construction of Unit-01 begins."

Ibuki Emi reminded him.

"Staffing arrangements."

Before Ikari Fumihiko could repeat this sentence, Ikari Yui's words came from the other end of the phone.

"I have already made arrangements for this. Please tell Huimei not to worry about it."

"okay."

"Anything else?"

"Gone."

As soon as Ikari Fumihiko finished his reply, Ikari Yui hung up the phone.

Ibuki Emi said in surprise: "Something is wrong."

"Something is wrong indeed. Today's behavior is too straightforward."

142. Suspicion

"What big thing happened?!"

Ibuki Emi looked at Ikari Fumihiko.

Ikari Fumihiko shook his head.

"Don't you know how out of touch I am?"

As he said this, he had a guess in his mind.

It should be Dongyue Gengzao who has come——

In fact, he could never understand why Fuyutsuki Kozo, who had the light and shadow photos of the mysterious giant in his hands, did not provide them to the United Nations.

Instead, he went to Seele to find Ikari Gendō and threatened him to tell the truth by exposing the photos.

Fear of Seele's power?

Normal people would ignore the harm done to their relatives and friends for the second time, right? ?

Uh--

Well, Dongyue Gengzo needs to consider his daughter's safety.

He felt that this possibility was unlikely. No matter how he looked at it, it didn't seem like the father and daughter knew in advance that the other was still alive.

Then there is only one possibility.

Kozo Fuyutsuki suspects that there is a mastermind behind the second impact in the United Nations, so he doesn't know who to hand the evidence to, so he decides to investigate the truth on his own.

Ibuki Emi didn't notice anything unusual and complained in a helpless tone.

"That's not called being closed, that's basically being isolated."

"You heard the conversation just now. Is there anything else?"

"I've already told you that the driver is alive and well, so why don't you stay and do your job?"

"I have other things to do."

Knowing that Ikari Fumihiko was lying, Ibuki Emi could do nothing about it. Who made her so unlucky to have such an inhuman team leader? ?

"Are you still training today?"

Ikari Fumihiko wanted to shake his head to deny it, but he changed his mind when the words came to his lips.

"We need to see Li's physical condition first. If conditions permit, we can have a second training session."

He glanced at the surroundings and thought for a moment before speaking again.

"Talk to the minister and see if we can move to a larger venue. It's fine for walking training here, but it's a bit difficult to perform larger movements."

For humans, the space here is very large, but for EVA it seems a bit small.

"You should communicate this matter."

"Then let's do this for now."

Fumihiko Ikari was a little worried about discussing this matter with Yui Ikari. If he was dragged over to meet Kozo Fuyutsuki, he didn't know what identity he should use to face Kozo Fuyutsuki.

Ibuki Emi didn't know any of this, she just felt speechless about Ikari Fumihiko being lazy.

"You really are constantly refreshing my understanding of how lazy a person can be."

Fumihiko Ikari defended himself stubbornly.

"The minister obviously has something important to deal with, so it's a bit awkward for me to call him now."

"Well, that's all! I won't hinder you from going to see the pilot."

"Uh--"

After wanting to make a few excuses, Fumihiko Ikari finally gave up.

Although the two of them didn't know each other intimately, they understood each other very well, and it would be difficult for Emi Ibuki to deceive them no matter how hard she tried to hide it.

"You go ahead and do your work. I'll come back as soon as I can."

Ibuki Emi waved her hands helplessly.

Just as Ikari Fumihiko was walking out, he happened to meet two people.

These two people are...

Ikari Gendō and Fuyutsuki Kozo.

No!

This is too coincidental-

Ikari Fumihiko was so surprised that he stopped where he was for a moment.

"Are you Ikari Fumihiko?"

After hearing Fuyutsuki Kozo's question, Ikari Fumihiko thought about it and decided to interact with the other party as an outsider.

"Professor Dongyue, long time no see."

He had no idea when he had met the other party, and could only guess from the fact that when he first met Fuyutsuki Kana, she said that she almost became Fuyutsuki Kozo's graduate student in her previous life.

These words were ambiguous and could be interpreted as polite remarks even if the two had never met before.

Fuyutsuki Kozo naturally didn't know what Ikari Fumihiko was thinking.

"It's been a while. I remember the last time we met was five years ago. At that time, you represented the freshmen and gave a speech at the opening ceremony."

Ikari Fumihiko had no idea of ​​this and was about to find an excuse to leave when Ikari Gendō suddenly spoke.

"This project is in charge of Team Leader Wen Yan. Let him take you on a tour."

Farming in winter may be unexpected.

"You are truly a genius. You have the ability to lead a team to conduct scientific research at such a young age."

His impression of Ikari Fumihiko still remains from five years ago, when he was a student with strong learning ability.

"You're overly flattering."

Ikari Fumihiko paused for a moment, then spoke again.

"I have other things to do, so let Huimei take care of the tour."

Ikari Gendō did not try to keep Ikari Fumihiko.

Kozo Fuyutsuki did not know the relationship between Fumihiko Ikari and Kana Fuyutsuki, so naturally he had no reason to stop it.

Fumihiko Ikari called Emi Ibuki over via the phone.

Ibuki Emi was a little surprised to see Fuyutsuki Kōzo.

"Uncle, I didn't expect to see you here."

As he spoke, he stole a glance at Ikari Fumihiko.

Your father-in-law is here, why don't you stay and behave yourself -

This is an opportunity to get extra points!

There were some unexpected things during the winter farming season.

"I really didn't expect to meet you here."

My daughter has only two close friends, and both of them are connected to this mysterious organization.

Ikari Fumihiko ignored Ibuki Emi and slipped away while the two were talking. On the way to the ward where Ayanami Rei was, he took out his cell phone and sent a message to Fuyutsuki Kana.

【The professor is coming.】

[My father?]

【right. 】

[Did you meet?]

After a pause, Fumihiko Ikari had just finished editing his reply when he received another text message from Kana Fuyutsuki.

[It didn't expose our relationship, did it? ]

Ikari Fumihiko felt somewhat uncomfortable when he read the content of the text message.

I really don't understand. They are not children. They are just in love. Why do they have to act like they are having an affair and be afraid of others knowing about it?

At the same time, I also noticed one thing.

Recently, it is the main personality that I have been communicating with.

I suppressed my anger. There was no need to create conflict over such a small matter.

【No. 】

[That's good. I haven't figured out how to tell my father about us yet.]

Originally, the topic should have been touched upon, but Fumihiko Ikari still couldn't control his emotions.

[What's wrong with saying this? Why not just say it directly? ]

Kana Fuyutsuki changed the subject.

[My father, is he okay? ]

Faced with Kana Fuyutsuki's concern for Kozo Fuyutsuki, Fumihiko Ikari had no way to continue asking and could only explain the situation to stabilize Kana Fuyutsuki's emotions.

[Nothing, Ikari Gendō is taking him to visit the second experimental area.]

Please help me take care of my father.

【Um. 】

Faced with Fuyutsuki Kana's request, Fumihiko Ikari naturally would not refuse, but he still took the opportunity to ask a question.

【How should I face him? 】

After waiting for a while, there was no response from Fuyutsuki Kana.

Although he was not by the other person's side, he could feel at this moment that the other person was sending messages to Ikari Yui and Ibuki Megumi, reminding them not to reveal the relationship between them.

Is dating me such a shameful thing?

I really wanted to ask this question, but in the end I deleted the edited content.
