I participated in the development of EVA

The more you say it's nothing, the more problems there are.

"I'm just thinking about the battle simulation system."

"Oh."

Ibuki Emi responded suspiciously, and only then realized that there seemed to be something wrong with Ikari Fumihiko.

As for what's wrong, I can't quite put my finger on it.

If she had to say something, it was because her woman's intuition told her that Fumihiko Ikari was worried about something.

After thinking about it, I added one more sentence.

"If you have anything on your mind, you can tell me. Um, is it about Kana not letting you and Professor Dongyue recognize each other?"

Fumihiko Ikari flatly denied it.

"No."

He also didn't know why he had to hide the fact that they broke up.

"I'm going for a rest."

"Oh."

Ikari Fumihiko didn't say anything, and Ibuki Emi was helpless. At the same time, she was wondering in her heart whether she had encountered something unspeakable again. This kind of thing has happened too many times, just like the last time.

Ikari Fumihiko greeted Ayanami Rei.

"I'm going to take a rest. If you don't wake up by noon, don't wait for me. Just go eat with Huimei."

"Lei knows."

Then he walked into the office and went to the lounge. He lay on the bed, tossing and turning, unable to fall asleep.

There is obviously no feeling, but I still miss him.

I clearly don't understand it, so there's no need to make it too clear.

Inexplicably, his brain was still stuck in a dead end, trying to figure out whether his attachment at the moment came from the body or the spirit. He hoped it was the latter, but the scene of the two of them being affectionate together surged in his mind like waves. Apart from that, there seemed to be nothing worth remembering.

I tossed and turned, trying to rest but couldn't fall asleep.

So he got up and left the lounge.

Everyone outside was busy with Unit 0. They didn't go to the command room, but just told the security guard at the door.

"I'll go to the Lingbo Project Team to check on the situation. If anyone wants to see me later, tell them to go to the Lingbo Project Team to find me."

"Yes."

The newly developed LCL medicine with a special ratio has a calming and sleep-inducing effect.

Came to the treatment room of the Lingbo project team.

"Get ready. I want to practice liquid breathing using a potion I recently developed."

"Yes."

After waiting for a while, the staff brought him a black combat suit specially made for him.

There is not much difference between men's and women's combat uniforms, except that the protection of key parts is thicker.

After changing into combat uniforms, I entered the incubator...

wrong!

This is the equipment used to treat Rei Ayanami, and should be called a treatment cabin.

As the LCL liquid was injected little by little, it soon submerged it. The auxiliary effect of the combat suit was very obvious, making liquid breathing not much different from normal breathing, just a little more strenuous. If someone had not done liquid breathing training, it would take some time to adapt. He had done similar training many times.

After the lcl is filled, relax your body and mind, and let your whole body float in the lcl.

As he inhaled and exhaled more and more special LCL liquid, he inexplicably felt the breath of Rei Ayanami in the treatment cabin.

It doesn't seem to be a taste, and it doesn't seem to be a smell.

It was a strange feeling that was different from the other two, as if Rei Ayanami was right beside him.

I didn't pursue it further because the medicine was working.

My eyelids became heavier and heavier, and the suppressed tiredness burst out.

When he woke up, he found himself lying on a bed in the intensive care unit, still wearing his black combat uniform.

This was not surprising. The effect of the drug must have not yet worn off and he had reached his limit and was taken out of the medical cabin by the staff.

Normal people can't soak in LCL liquid for a long time like Rei Ayanami. No! If you want to soak in LCL liquid for a long time like Rei Ayanami, you need to do a lot of training, or the performance of the combat suit's auxiliary breathing should be enhanced. However, it is difficult to make any breakthroughs in this area of ​​technology.

I glanced at the data displayed on the monitoring device next to me. Some of the content was difficult to understand, but the part that I could understand was all within the normal range.

It’s okay...there’s nothing wrong with my body.

Just as I was about to unplug the testing line on my body, a nurse came in hurriedly from outside.

"Team Leader, how do you feel?"

"I didn't feel anything unusual."

Having dealt with similar things before, he naturally knew that this was just a normal inquiry.

The female nurse didn't say anything. She took a look at the monitoring equipment next to her and confirmed that there was no problem with the data. Then she removed the detection line connected to his body.

"what time is it?"

I took out my phone and took a look. The nurse reported the time.

"Three fifteen in the afternoon."

Fumihiko Ikari nodded, picked up the neatly folded clothes beside him and went into the bathroom. It was not until he changed his clothes and left that he noticed something.

Last night's overdraft seems to have been restored! ?

Now my body is no longer tired from overdrawing, and my energy and spirit have returned to their peak state.

isn't it?

Why didn’t I know before that this thing also has the effect of nourishing yin and replenishing yang?

He was greatly surprised.

I went to the office and got the information on the new medicine, not because I wanted to know the ingredients, but to remember the information.

If I'm short of funds in the future, I'll package this thing and sell it.

He returned to the Unit 00 project team to learn about the situation. During his absence, nothing noteworthy had happened. He then went to the cafeteria to eat something to fill his stomach. The LCL liquid was indeed enough to provide the body with the nutrients it needed. As long as he didn't do strenuous exercise, he didn't need to eat at all. It was just that the feeling of having an empty stomach was a bit uncomfortable.

Ibuki Emi was surprised when she saw Ikari Fumihiko.

"What have you been doing? How come you look so energetic? It seems like the dark circles under your eyes are gone."

These words attracted Ikari Yui's attention.

Just as Ibuki Emi said, although Ikari Fumihiko's dark circles did not completely disappear, they had become much lighter. The spirit he displayed now was very different from that in the morning, and he felt like two different people.

Fumihiko Ikari did not hide anything.

"I just thought that the new medicine has the effect of calming the nerves and helping sleep, so I tried it just now."

"What new potion?"

As soon as she finished speaking, she realized that there are some things that cannot be said, and Ibuki Emi immediately changed her words.

"I haven't had a good rest recently, can I try it too?"

Although the dark circles under my eyes have become less severe recently, they still need careful makeup to be concealed.

Ikari Fumihiko glanced at Ikari Yui.

Ikari Yui immediately nodded in understanding and answered on behalf of Ikari Fumihiko.

"It's the same potion your grandfather used."

169. At least let me know, otherwise it will seem like I am idle.

Ibuki Emi was not surprised because she had already figured it out when she asked what potion it was.

"Can I try?"

"can."

Ikari Yui responded, and then said something to Ikari Fumihiko.

"Prepare one for me, too."

She naturally wouldn't miss it if it could eliminate dark circles and restore her energy.

Ikari Fumihiko shook his head.

"It should be used in conjunction with liquid breathing."

Ikari Yui nodded.

"When I have time, I'll try it too."

Ibuki Emi mentioned it positively.

"Take me with you."

Ikari Yui smiled with evil amusement.

"I'm going tonight, are you sure you want to follow?"

"Uh--"

Ibuki Emi hesitated immediately, and it took her a while to make up her mind.

The medicine can be used at any time and the decision-making power is in your hands. If you miss it this time when camping, you don’t know when the next time will be.

"Forget it tonight."

The smile on Ikari Yui's face became even brighter.

"Why? Isn't it convenient tonight?"

The ambiguous tone immediately attracted the attention of people around.

Ibuki Emi remained unmoved.

“It’s really inconvenient.”

"Why is it inconvenient?"

"My period is coming."

Ikari Yui was completely stunned by Ibuki Emi's words.

Time passed quickly and before he knew it, it was already half past four. Fumihiko Ikari didn't pay attention to the time, but was just paying attention to Rei Ayanami's training.

However, Ibuki Emi reminded him from the side.

"It's time to get ready. It's almost five o'clock."

Under normal circumstances, Ikari Yui would definitely have said something to stop them and would not let them go until at least 6:30 in the evening. However, considering Ikari Fumihiko's situation, she didn't say anything.

"Training ends at five today."

The others didn't know that Ikari Fumihiko, Ayanami Rei, and Ibuki Emi were going camping, so they were surprised to hear what Ikari Yui said.

Why does today end so early?

however……

Ikari Yui didn't explain, and no one dared to ask.

Ibuki Emi did the same and subconsciously glanced at Ikari Fumihiko, as if asking how you convinced Ikari Yuide.

Ikari Fumihiko also did not explain anything.

"Then I'll go get ready."

The main thing was to inform Akagi mother and daughter about this matter and to be prepared. I went to the office, took out the phone, and called Akagi Naoko.

"what's up?"
