I participated in the development of EVA

Without any accidents, Unit 00 started up smoothly.

The chains did work, and this time the employees did not resist as much as they did yesterday when the order to remove the restraints was given.

"how do you feel?"

When Rei Ayanami heard Fumihiko Ikari's question, she naturally knew that he was asking about the impact of the chain.

“It just feels a little heavier.”

"It's good as long as it doesn't have any impact."

After a pause, Fumihiko Ikari spoke out the direction of today's training without waiting for Rei Ayanami to ask.

"Rei deployed the force field horizontally."

"Yes."

He waited for the force field to expand horizontally before speaking again.

"Lower your altitude and take control of Unit-00 and stand up to take a look."

The reverse deployment of the at force field looks very grand, but in fact it is essentially no different from the normal deployment, except that one is deployed vertically to serve as a shield, and the other is deployed horizontally to serve as a pedal.

Rei Ayanami did not hesitate. She immediately lowered the height of the force field and controlled Unit 00 to stand on it.

Unit 00 seemed to have mastered flying, hovering in mid-air.

This scene surprised and unbelievable to everyone. They really didn't expect that the AT force field could be used in this way.

Ikari Yui was the first to come back to her senses.

"Is this the reversal?"

"Correct."

“It’s a little different from what I imagined.”

"What do you think the reversal will look like?"

Ikari Yui hesitated for a moment before speaking.

"It's a different form of the force field. In short, it's not another application like it is now."

Ikari Fumihiko made an argument.

"In my conception, the reverse deployment is like this. It can be used as a pedal in battle. Well, it is a bit difficult to deal with air combat scenes, but it should be no problem to change direction in the air."

Ikari Yui nodded without comment and said nothing more.

Fumihiko Ikari originally wanted to let Rei Ayanami try jumping, but the training ground was a little too low for Unit 00.

If he really jumped up, he would probably hit his head on the ceiling.

"The venue is a bit small, otherwise we can test the feasibility of using the force field as a pedal to move."

Hearing what Ikari Fumihiko said, Ikari Yui nodded in agreement.

“This venue is really a bit insufficient now.”

After pondering for a moment, Fumihiko Ikari thought of a scene from an anime he had watched before traveling through time, and immediately gave follow-up instructions to Rei Ayanami.

"Use the force field to pave the road, and try walking around the training ground."

Rei Ayanami nodded and started to move, but judging from her focused expression and the fact that Unit-00 almost fell several times, it was a bit difficult for Rei Ayanami to control the force field and Unit-00 at the same time. However, Rei Ayanami's talent was truly terrifying, and she adapted to it after a morning of training.

When the afternoon training began, Rei Ayanami was already very calm.

However, the training ground is too small to start further training. Now Unit 0 looks like a gorilla trapped in a small cage, which will touch the border if it stretches its limbs a little.

"Can we change to a bigger scene?"

Ikari Fumihiko was naturally asking Ikari Yui this question.

Ikari Yui is also aware of the current situation and believes that they should indeed move to a larger training ground, but there is simply not enough space inside the base.

"I will report this situation to the top management."

192. You have few friends, but you have many harems to conquer?

The day passed quickly.

In the next few days, Ikari Yui did not come again because she was busy with the matter of changing the location of Unit 00.

Time unknowingly came to the last day of 2003, the biochemical protection procedure had been lifted, and Rei Ayanami regained her freedom.

"You haven't forgotten what I said, have you?"

Fumihiko Ikari always felt like he had forgotten something recently, and only realized it after Emi Ibuki reminded him.

He had forgotten about the New Year's bonfire party.

There's no way, New Year is not the Spring Festival, so naturally he doesn't take it very seriously.

"How is that possible? Who do you think I am? Since I promised you, I will definitely not break my promise."

The only thing to be thankful for is——

He was afraid that he would forget about this, so he approved the life assistant in advance.

Ibuki Emi looked at him suspiciously, obviously not believing him, but she didn't say anything.

"I'm glad you didn't forget. It's the last day now. When are we leaving?"

Ikari Fumihiko glanced at the clock.

It is ten o'clock in the morning.

"Afternoon."

"Ah."

Ibuki Emi responded.

"I'm going to use the bathroom."

Fumihiko Ikari went to the bathroom under the pretext of having to pee and called Eri Akagi.

"How are the arrangements for the bonfire party going?"

"It has been arranged. When will you be there?"

"afternoon."

"Okay, I will report this situation to the camp."

"Ah."

Ikari Fumihiko responded.

"Excuse me, do you have any other instructions?"

After thinking for a while, he asked.

"are you free?"

"Are you inviting me?"

"Correct."

Although it is not the Spring Festival, he will never have the chance to celebrate it in the future, so he can only celebrate this New Year as the Spring Festival. Since it is the Spring Festival, the more people and the more lively it is, the better.

"I am honored to receive your invitation, but..."

"Why? If you're busy, forget it."

Are you kidding me? Three years! Three years—

Eri Akagi has lived here underground for three years. Although the living conditions here are good, she still misses the feeling of the evening breeze blowing across her body.

Now that she finally had a chance to return to the surface, how could she let it go! Moreover, she was spending the New Year outside.

"No, I'm not busy."

"Then you are just what?"

"Mom said that girls should be more reserved when facing a man's invitation."

Ikari Fumihiko shook his head, thinking that the other party was worried about the fact that they were alone together, and that he would use his status to do something to her, so he immediately told her about his plans.

"Don't worry, I have invited quite a few people to this New Year's bonfire party. It's not just one man and one woman."

Although Akagi Eri secretly breathed a sigh of relief, she did not show it.

"No, I trust your character and have never had such concerns."

Fumihiko Ikari is indeed very outstanding, but he is not her type.

Therefore, for a moment just now, she was indeed worried that Ikari Fumihiko had some bad intentions towards her by inviting her to the bonfire party. If that was true, with Ikari Fumihiko's status in the organization, not only would she not be able to resist, she would even have to take the initiative to clean herself up, pack herself up and send herself to his door.

Revolt?

She didn't want to wake up one day and become the subject of an experiment.

Fumihiko Ikari did not know what Akagi Eri was thinking, nor did he try to understand her inner intentions.

"That's good, then."

After a brief chat, he hung up the phone and contacted Akagi and her daughter again.

"I'm organizing a New Year's bonfire tonight."

"Oh."

Naoko Akagi just responded, and couldn't tell what the other person was thinking.

As a last resort, Fumihiko Ikari could only ask again.

"Are you and your daughter going?"

"can."

This Dr. Akagi is really difficult to communicate with.

Ikari Fumihiko shook his head secretly.

"I'll let you know then."

"it is good."

Finally, I called Ikari Yui.

"what's up?"

Ikari Yui has been busy discussing the new training ground with the top management recently and had long forgotten about the bonfire party.

"Today is the last day of 03."

After hearing this, Ikari Yui finally reacted.

"Oh, I see. Just let me know when you're leaving."

"That's fine."

Just as he was about to hang up the phone, Ikari Fumihiko couldn't help but ask a question.

"How's things going with the new venue?"

"The plan has been finalized. We have planned an area in the cave to be used as a training ground. We are installing equipment now. It will take at least a month to complete."

Ikari Fumihiko was a little surprised.

He had never had any idea about this void, but now after hearing these words he realized that the space inside was even larger than he had imagined.

Thinking about how I had to drive in and out before, I felt relieved.

Seeing that Ikari Fumihiko had been silent, Ikari Yui asked.

"Is there anything else?"

"Gone."

After hearing this, Ikari Yui hung up the phone immediately.

Fumihiko Ikari returned to the command room.
