153. Deserved Treatment

The camp director glanced at Ikari Gendo and Fuyutsuki Kozo who were talking, then glanced at Ikari Yui who had no intention of taking charge, and finally fixed his eyes on Ikari Fumihiko. Although Ikari Fumihiko didn't seem interested in taking charge, he had to find someone among the crowd to make the decision, so he found the organizer of the camping trip as written in the report.

"Hello, Dr. Wen Yan, may I bother you for a moment?"

"what's up?"

"I came here to ask you where the tent is set up."

"I have no experience in this area, so you decide. Well, it'd be best if it's closer to the lake."

"Ok."

After recording the message, the camp leader immediately started to ask.

"The barbecue chef is ready. You can choose to barbecue yourself or let the chef prepare dinner."

"Prepare an extra grill for those who are interested. Oh, and do you have any fishing gear?"

“Fishing spots have been arranged at the lakeside.”

After a pause, the camp director added another sentence.

"There is a changing area next to the fishing spot. There are various swimsuits and spare clothes prepared for you. Sorry... time is limited, so we can only use the tent instead."

Fumihiko Ikari was a little surprised that so much was prepared in just one hour.

"nothing."

however--

This is not over yet, the camp management continued to speak.

"There is a gun storage and access point in the other direction. If you are interested, you can go deep into the woods to hunt accompanied by professionals. There are wild animals such as wild boars, wild wolves, wild rabbits, wild deer, etc. There are professional butchers among the staff who can slaughter the prey on the spot and hand it over to the chef for cooking."

Is this high society?

He was just surprised before, but now Fumihiko Ikari was amazed.

Before he could say anything, the camp director continued his story.

"It will take a while for the sightseeing yacht to arrive. It will take about half an hour."

I'm just camping for one night, I don't want to develop this place into a tourist attraction...

There's really no need to prepare so much.

At this time, Ayanami Rei asked timidly.

"Wen Yan, why do stars appear?"

"Wait until after sunset."

After Ikari Fumihiko finished speaking, the camp director spoke with an apologetic look on his face.

"Sorry, I forgot to prepare the telescope. I'll notify the logistics staff to send it over."

Ikari Fumihiko thought it was a bit too much trouble, but then he thought, the resources being wasted now come from Seele, so saving is aiding the enemy! ? So he nodded. Of course, the most important thing is that he has never used an astronomical telescope to view the starry sky above his head, so now that he has the opportunity, he naturally wants to experience it.

Now his thoughts have changed a little, from initially bringing Rei Ayanami out to play to now playing by himself.

When the camp director was talking to Fumihiko Ikari earlier, he deliberately raised his voice, so that everyone who had not walked far away had a basic understanding of the camp situation through their conversation.

Ibuki Emi couldn't help but sigh.

“It’s really luxurious.”

Ikari Yui shook her head.

“This is the treatment we deserve, and it wouldn’t be excessive even if we were to exaggerate a little more.

Don't think about those things. There is only one thing you need to do now. Don't think about anything else. Relax and enjoy this rare vacation in three years."

Ibuki Emi nodded when she heard this.

Gazing at the lake surface rippling with the breeze, the scenery was beautiful but not rare, but it made her intoxicated. In the past three years, her life had been filled with nothing but steel and concrete, EVA's flesh and blood, and human cries. Sometimes she would wonder in a trance whether she was living in purgatory.

After a moment, she woke up with a start.

"Shouldn't you take over this burden?"

Yui Ikari pretended not to hear anything and continued trying to distract Emi Ibuki.

"I don't know when the next time will be, uh - you might have more chances."

Halfway through his speech, he looked at Ikari Fumihiko and Ayanami Rei.

Ibuki Emi looked over and nodded in agreement.

"really."

Then he looked towards the temporary toilet.

"I have to go to the toilet."

Ikari Yui looked surprised.

"Emi, you've changed! You've become cunning."

Although she noticed the cunning smile hidden on Ibuki Emi's face, she could not shirk this reason.

He could only helplessly take over Shinji Ikari.

Ibuki Emi curled her lips.

"Not as cunning as you."

After saying that, without even pretending, he walked straight towards where Fumihiko Ikari was.

Ikari Yui glanced at Ikari Shinji in her arms, and then looked at Ikari Fumihiko.

He walked over immediately.

It was already getting dark, obviously not a good time for hunting, so Fumihiko Ikari brought Rei Ayanami and Ritsuko Akagi to the fishing spot.

Not only can you kill time by fishing here, it is also a good place to watch the sunset.

The shift in the earth's axis has caused a large number of disasters and also caused changes in Japan's climate. There are no seasonal changes throughout the year, and the climate is always frozen in summer. The geological structure has also changed, making earthquakes that were frequent in the past become rare.

Bathed in the beautiful sunset, the breeze takes away the slightly stuffy air, making the body and mind relax unconsciously.

It really is a good time.

Rei Ayanami's attention was drawn to the sinking and floating fishing float, the scenery around her that she had never seen before, and the birds flying in the sky... There were too many things she wanted to record in her mind.

"There will be many more opportunities in the future. Don't be so impatient. Calm down and feel it slowly."

"Ah."

Rei Ayanami responded, but remained unchanged.

Because everything around her has the same attraction to her.

As for Ritsuko Akagi?

Now he is no different from a fool, still immersed in his mother's approval.

Ibuki Emi came over.

"You really are enjoying yourself."

"When we're out having fun, of course we should enjoy ourselves as much as possible. Do you want to try it?"

"No, when I was a kid I went fishing with my cousin. If I hadn't let go quickly enough I would have been caught by the fish."

Ikari Fumihiko couldn't help but burst out laughing.

"It's okay. I'm here. I'll get you back from the fish."

"Then it's settled."

Ibuki Emi came here just to join in the fun, mainly to find a place to enjoy the evening breeze.

"Don't look at me like this, I'm a good swimmer. If I dive in, I won't be able to float up for several days."

Ikari Fumihiko's words made Ibuki Emi laugh.

"Indeed, it normally takes at least five days for a person who drowns to surface."

At this time, Ikari Yui spoke to Ikari Fumihiko.

"I'm going to the bathroom, Fumihiko, please help me hold Shinji."

Ikari Fumihiko had previously noticed how Ikari Yui was trying to trick Ibuki Emi, so how could he be fooled now?

"Of course you can, but I'm fishing and I might hurt Shinji if I'm not careful."

After a pause, he pointed at Ikari Gendo and another person who were talking not far away.

"You should hand the child over to his father! Well, the staff here can also do it."

Ikari Yui felt a little disappointed that her trick didn't work.

The reason why she always asks someone to hold Shinji Ikari instead of herself is not because she thinks Shinji Ikari is a burden, okay! A little bit, holding a child doesn't allow her to do many things, but mainly because she wants to play a prank, and she enjoys the pleasure of a successful prank more than enjoying the natural scenery around her.

"This is your nephew."

"This is your son."

154. I was typing when a sudden power outage made me depressed

"Can you do this? Fumihiko, look, Huimei has caught another fish."

Facing Ikari Yui's ridicule.

Fumihiko Ikari also began to doubt his life. No matter how he changed his position or fishing gear, no fish would take the bait.

On the other hand, Ibuki Emi and Ayanami Rei always have fish to bite the bait.

Fumihiko Ikari silently put away his fishing rod.

"What? Not fishing anymore?"

Ignoring Ikari Yui's ridicule.

Lying silently on the chair pretending to be dead, Ikari Yui smiled even more happily now.

Ibuki Emi was also laughing beside her.

He couldn't stand it and said something to Ikari Yui.

"You you on the line!"

"I'll go up, I'll go up."

Ikari Yui placed Ikari Shinji on the lying Ikari Fumihiko and picked up the fishing gear beside her. Not long after, a fish took the bait. Although the fish ran away and Ikari Yui was almost caught, it was just an accident. After changing to a small fishing rod, Ikari Yui was even more ferocious than Ibuki Megumi, and a fish would take the bait almost as soon as she cast the rod.

Fumihiko Ikari was starting to doubt his life as he watched from the sidelines.

"Why? Why can't I catch any fish?"

After handing Ikari Shinji over to Ikari Gendo without giving up, he returned to his seat and picked up the fishing gear.

After fishing for two hours, if Rei Ayanami hadn't asked him to help pull the rod a few times, Fumihiko Ikari would have been the only one among the group who didn't catch any fish.

Following the camp director's reminder, everyone gathered around the dining table.

"why?

how come?

Why?

I don't understand……"

Looking at Ikari Fumihiko who was doubting his life, Fuyutsuki Kozo asked curiously.

"what happened to him?"

Ikari Yui replied with a smile.

"Just now, he was the only one who could fish. None of us knew how to fish. But we all caught fish, except him. No matter what he did, he couldn't catch any fish. No, there was no fish biting the hook from beginning to end."

Dongyue Gengzo also looked incredulous.
