I participated in the development of EVA

Some people couldn't stand the strong smell of disinfectant, and didn't want to disturb Fuyutsuki Kana's rest.

Ikari Fumihiko originally wanted to leave immediately, but he returned to the house as soon as he walked out, and helped Fuyutsuki Kana take off her clothes and cover her with a quilt. During this time, Fuyutsuki Kana woke up, but she was too tired, so she opened her hazy eyes and looked at Ikari Fumihiko, mumbled something inaudible, and fell asleep again.

I returned to my dormitory, too lazy to take a shower, so I took off my clothes, lay down on the bed and fell asleep.

The next day I slept until ten o'clock and was woken up by the doorbell.

"Who?"

"it's me."

The voice coming from outside the door was Eri Akagi's.

After opening his eyes and looking at the clock, Fumihiko Ikari was a little surprised that Eri Akagi had made such a big mistake in her work today and did not wake her up on time.

"Well, I'm up... Go prepare breakfast and a change of clothes first."

"Everything is ready."

After getting up and opening the dormitory door, Ikari Fumihiko asked in surprise.

"Why are you so late today?"

"I was derelict in my duty."

Akagi Eri tried her best to maintain her smile.

Feel sorry--

I was really rude to think that you would become more diligent!

Before going to bed last night, she had confirmed that Fumihiko Ikari was staying overnight in Kana Fuyutsuki's dormitory, but when she went there this morning, she found that Kana Fuyutsuki's dormitory was empty. After asking her colleagues, she learned that Kana Fuyutsuki had already gotten up and gone to work, so she thought that Fumihiko Ikari was more diligent today... She never expected that Fumihiko Ikari returned to his dormitory to rest at night.

If the Human Resources Department hadn't called to inquire about the situation, she wouldn't have known that Fumihiko Ikari hadn't gotten up yet.

The base is short of staff, so she is not only the personal assistant of Ikari Fumihiko, but also works other jobs part-time, but the personal assistant position of Ikari Fumihiko has a higher priority.

"Nothing, just a good rest."

"Hurry up - you've been eating for over an hour."

"Late? Do we still have standard working hours here?"

"No, everything depends on self-awareness."

Ikari Fumihiko nodded in agreement.

Conscious, haha...

If that's true, why did I receive a warning from higher-ups when I just didn't want to work overtime that night?

You are so humorous.

"really."

After breakfast, I took a shower and changed into clean clothes.

Picked up the phone and took a look.

[Sorry, I was really tired yesterday.]

[In that case... then show some sincerity in paying with your flesh! ]

After waiting for a while without receiving a reply, Fumihiko Ikari couldn't help but sigh in dismay.

This is too busy...

As soon as I arrived at the laboratory, I saw Emi Ibuki, who was hooked to an IV drip, operating the computer with one hand, and her face was still pale.

isn't it...

You are just a worker, why are you working so hard when you don’t even get paid?

I really want to die early and be reborn early——

Uh, okay.

Dedicating your life to the continuation of human civilization is indeed your goal.

The people in this world... are really fucking sick.

I originally planned to ignore it, but finally I walked over.

"You need rest."

"No need, I know my body."

"You don't understand."

After that, he ignored Ibuki Emi and said to a team member, "Call the medical department and take the person back. Remember to give her a sedative or something so that she can have a good rest."

The member looked at Ikari Fumihiko and then at Ibuki Megumi in embarrassment. Both were team leaders and he couldn't afford to offend either one.

But in the end, a trade-off was made.

Fumihiko Ikari is her direct supervisor and her position is higher than that of Emi Ibuki.

Medical personnel arrived shortly after receiving the notification and took some effort to pull Ibuki Emi away from her work station.

Looking at the busy figures in the laboratory, he felt inexplicably depressed, and had the urge to wave his hand and say, "Take a day off today."

In the end, I suppressed the impulse and devoted myself to my work.

Others have already gone to work despite being sick, and I would feel guilty if I continued to slack off and hold them back.

In this way, a day passed by unknowingly.

He was exhausted both physically and mentally after a day of hard work, but he still forced himself to come to Fuyutsuki Kana's dormitory.

Kana Fuyutsuki was busy all day again today.

He glanced at Fuyutsuki Kana, who was still so tired that she fell asleep without even taking off her clothes, and then glanced at the text messages received on his phone.

[I'm going to go back and take a nap. I'll wait for you to come back and call me... I must watch the movie I mentioned before today.]

Watching the movie is secondary; the important thing is the desire to respond to Ikari Fumihiko.

Love is not a one-man show, only a two-way effort can last. These past few days, it has been Ikari Fumihiko who has been accommodating and giving, while Fuyutsuki Kana has been drained of energy by the heavy work and unable to respond. If there was a deep relationship between the two, this would not be a problem, but they have only known each other for about a week, so what kind of feelings can there be between them?

016. To die in the front line of scientific research is the lofty ideal of scholars

Fumihiko Ikari was just about to take care of Kana Fuyutsuki like he did yesterday, but as soon as he started to take action, she opened her eyes.

"I'm going to take a shower first..."

I forced myself to stay awake and get up to take a shower.

Tired?

Very tired, all I can do now is sleep.

But she knew that their relationship was at a critical juncture. If they let the relationship continue to grow cold, it would almost come to an end. After all, Ikari Fumihiko was absolutely superior in terms of status, knowledge, age, and personality, while she was at an advantage and disadvantage in terms of age. If she did not take her attitude more seriously, Ikari Fumihiko would most likely be snatched away by someone else.

"Okay, you're so tired that you can't even open your eyes...don't force yourself."

"It's not comfortable to sleep with your body dirty."

Fumihiko Ikari is a little worried about Kana Fuyutsuki's current condition, and he also needs to take a bath.

"Then let's take a shower together."

"Ah."

Fumihiko Ikari first took a quick shower under the rain and then hid in the bathtub. He couldn't stand the temperature of the shower water used by Kana Fuyutsuki.

The two of them did nothing during the bath.

It's not that I don't want to, but... After soaking for a while, Kana Fuyutsuki fell asleep in Fumihiko Ikari's arms. He sighed with some heartache and helplessness, helped her dry her body, blew her hair, and carried her to the bed. Fumihiko Ikari didn't have the heart to torment Kana Fuyutsuki, and he was indeed very tired, so he found a comfortable position and fell asleep.

When I woke up, I found that Fuyutsuki Kana was missing, leaving only a sticker.

【There is an emergency surgery that requires my participation. 】

I feel a little lost.

I arrived at the laboratory more than an hour early after breakfast, and the first thing I did was to find Ibuki Megumi who had escaped from the medical department again.

The condition has improved significantly and he no longer needs intravenous drips.

Wouldn’t it be nice to have a few more days of rest?

and also……

Aren’t you tired?

I used to stay up until about 11 o'clock every night before getting off work, but now I come to work at around 7 o'clock.

Really sick.

"Are you stupid? If you want to work, you can just get a computer in the medical department and work secretly behind my back. There's no need to come to the lab, right?"

Ibuki Emi was obviously stunned for a moment, and then her expression became a little sick.

“Dying on the front line of scientific research is the lofty ideal of scholars.”

Hearing these words, I knew that Ibuki Emi was a little mentally unstable.

"Didn't you take your medicine today?"

"The drugs will inhibit my thinking ability and affect my work efficiency."

What about work efficiency!

I think it's the sudden death efficiency——

The medical department was called to bring Ibuki Megumi back to the hospital. This time she did not resist and cooperated very well with the medical department. It was obvious that she was inspired and ready to work in the hospital.

It seems like I've said too much... Never mind!

If something really happens to a person in the medical department, emergency treatment can be provided immediately.

He wanted to slack off, but everyone around him was working frantically, which doubled the psychological pressure on Fumihiko Ikari.

Ugh--

Try to work harder to finish the current work as soon as possible. The next stage will mainly be collecting experimental data, which should be easier.

After being busy until returning to the dormitory at night, looking at Kana Fuyutsuki who was as tired as a dead dog, he suddenly came to his senses.

Wait a moment……

I'm just painting a rosy picture for the capitalists?

Push yourself!

Once you accept this assumption, every day in the future will be as physically and mentally exhausted as today, and only sudden death at work can bring you relief.

Just imagining the future plot, a piercing chill suddenly surged from the bottom of my heart.

The next day, I went straight to the head of the R&D department, Yui Ikari.

"There are huge problems with our current work system, and we must pay attention to it and develop a scientific system."

Ikari Yui shook her head and asked back with a strange look on her face.

"Should the medical department be included in this? You really go to great lengths to fall in love."

"No, I really think this sick system will cause big problems."

Seeing Ikari Fumihiko's serious expression, Ikari Yui put away her previous lazy expression, "You have changed a lot in this period of time. You never had such thoughts before, and you would not use your position to be lazy. Forget it, let's not talk about this... In fact, I know very well that the current work system is a bit sick. It is completely buying time at the cost of human lives, but the current situation can only be like this...

We had no choice at all.

Conventional weapons developed by current technology can do no harm to the unknown creatures discovered in Antarctica. They can only be defeated with the help of EVA's power.

If Plan E cannot be completed before the Third Impact, the end of human civilization will inevitably be frozen at that moment.

For the fate of all mankind, we can only do this...

If you want to change all this, then you should work harder on research and development than you do now! Only by developing EVA can we have the energy to breathe. "

Listening quietly to Ikari Yui's words, Ikari Fumihiko was speechless for a moment.

He understands and knows all these principles, but he lacks a sense of involvement in this world.
