I participated in the development of EVA

Seeing that Akagi Eri was so professional and even did warm-up exercises before going into the water to prevent leg cramps while swimming, he immediately breathed a sigh of relief and stopped paying attention to Akagi Eri.

All right--

The main worry is that I won’t be able to control where my gaze is, causing my hormones, which had originally calmed down, to become agitated again.

When Fumihiko Ikari was about to go find Emi Ibuki and Rei Ayanami, the two of them had noticed his return and immediately walked out of the water. Rei Ayanami took the iced cola from Fumihiko Ikari's hand and drank it with a refreshed look on her face, while Emi Ibuki glanced at Eri Akagi before her eyes focused on Fumihiko Ikari.

"Why have you been gone so long?"

Ikari Fumihiko explained casually.

"I didn't notice it just now. I only realized it when I went to get the Coke. She didn't follow me, so I went to ask her."

"Oh."

Ibuki Emi responded without comment, then glanced at Ikari Yui and his wife.

"You've been gone for so long, I'm a little tired, I want to get some sun now, can you help me put on some sunscreen?"

When Ikari Fumihiko heard this, he subconsciously glanced at Ikari Yui and his wife.

"Not so good……"

There was a reason why he didn't eat the meat that was served to him. He was mainly worried that his body would react to the stimulation. It would be fine if there were only two of them, but it would be too embarrassing in front of so many people.

He spoke again with some difficulty.

"Let Li help you wipe it."

Ibuki Emi wanted to say something and continue her offensive, but when the words were on the tip of her tongue, she realized what Ikari Fumihiko was worried about.

He immediately changed his words.

"Let's go on the yacht."

Ikari Fumihiko was shaken.

There are many people at the lakeside, but it is more private on the yacht.

Ibuki Emi didn't give Ikari Fumihiko time to speak, and directly pulled Ayanami Rei onto the yacht docked on the shore.

Seeing this, Fumihiko Ikari hesitated for a moment, but still followed.

Even if you don’t want to eat the meat right before your mouth, you can still look at it. At least it can satisfy your craving.

The three of them came onto the yacht.

The staff drove the yacht out of the dock and docked it in the center of the lake, drifting with the waves.

Ibuki Emi was lying on a sun lounger on the yacht deck, applying sunscreen. Before long, only her back was left uncoated. At this time, she glanced at Ikari Fumihiko who was glancing at her.

"Help me wipe it?"

Fumihiko Ikari glanced at Rei Ayanami who was drinking Coke next to him, hesitated for a moment but couldn't help it.

"Ah."

He responded, and then added another sentence to hide his embarrassment.

"Let me wipe it for Li first."

Ibuki Emi immediately chuckled.

As if to just go through with the job, Fumihiko Ikari applied sunscreen on Rei Ayanami's back. His movements were as quick and perfunctory as possible, and then he came to the side of Emi Ibuki.

Seeing this scene, Ibuki Emi's smile became even more pronounced.

Then he lay down on the sun lounger and said something in a lazy voice.

"I'm a little tired and too lazy to move. Can you help me untie it?"

Fumihiko Ikari swallowed his saliva to moisten his gradually drying throat, reached out to unbutton his swimsuit, and took in her smooth and fair back completely. The silly idea of ​​cupping appeared in his mind again. Well... he would use this silly idea to suppress the surging hormones.

As he was immersed in the smooth touch, Ibuki Emi suddenly spoke.

"She told me about your breakup with Kana."

She said this because she felt that if this layer of window paper was not broken, it would be difficult for the relationship between the two to go any further.

196. As expected of you——

Ikari Fumihiko's hands trembled.

It's not that I feel ashamed about being dumped, as every adult has experienced a few failed relationships, but I realized the reason why Ibuki Emi said this.

Now he is not ready yet and doesn't understand what love is. Without this understanding, he is worried about repeating his previous experience.

I didn't know what to say, so I just agreed casually.

"Oh, is it so……"

Ibuki Emi thought for a moment before speaking again.

"We talked about it during a casual chat earlier."

Of course this was a lie. In fact, after that contact, she and Kana Fuyutsuki never contacted each other again.

It’s not that I don’t want to contact you, it’s just that everyone is busy and I can’t find a reason to contact you.

of course……

Another part is that what I am about to do is a bit immoral.

All the words she had prepared in her mind were stuck at this moment, and she didn't know what to say for a moment.

At this time, Ikari Fumihiko was a little confused and didn't know what to say. He even lost the idea of ​​taking advantage of her. He remained silent for a long time. Ikari Fumihiko applied sunscreen on her back and was about to get up and leave when Ibuki Emi put on her swimsuit, turned around and looked directly into Ikari Fumihiko's eyes.

"Wen Yan, let's go out together."

She knew she was a little anxious.

But the last time she talked with Fuyutsuki Kana about older mothers and Ikari Yui's son who was about to turn three, it made her realize one thing.

I am no longer old and don’t have that much time to waste.

She is the same age as Ikari Yui. She is 26 years old this year, and will be 27 today. In three years, she will be 30. And Ikari Fumihiko will be 26 in another three years. Of course, there is another reason that makes her so anxious. The enemy may attack at any time, and the third impact may happen at the next moment. She does not want the moment of extinction of human civilization to come, and she has not even had a serious relationship.

I don't want to face the end of the world alone.

When Ikari Fumihiko heard this, he stopped.

Sighed.

"I'm not ready yet."

"what to prepare?"

"Start the next relationship."

Ibuki Emi didn't say anything, but just looked at Ikari Fumihiko with an expression of confusion.

Ikari Fumihiko continued speaking with a serious expression.

"I'm a little confused. I don't know what it means to love someone."

Ibuki Emi had also thought about this question, so she gave the answer directly.

"Love is an impulse between two people, not something that can be understood by one person's thinking."

The reason why I have this feeling.

Naturally, it was the realization he gained from his random thoughts during that period of time after he failed in the competition with Ikari Yui for Ikari Gendō.

"……is that so?"

What Ibuki Emi said did make sense, and he couldn't find any reason to refute it.

Love is indeed something that is born between two people.

Just looking at Ibuki Emi in front of him, what was restless at this moment was not his heart, but his hormones.

He only knew that his current thoughts were a bit extreme.

Hormones are part of love, there is no need to split them into two concepts.

After all, the so-called love at first sight is simply about beauty.

Ibuki Emi took a deep breath.

"Whether this is true or not, we can find out by just verifying it."

Ikari Fumihiko didn't know what to say for a moment, but since Ibuki Emi was a girl and had already taken the initiative, he naturally couldn't avoid this situation.

"This is not fair to you."

"Love is a blind impulse. There is no such thing as fairness or unfairness. As long as I feel it is worth it, that is enough."

Ikari Fumihiko still has feelings for Ibuki Emi, otherwise he wouldn't have taken her to every activity. He even considered pursuing her, but he was a little worried that he would repeat the same mistake so he didn't take any further action. He wanted to understand what love is, and he felt that only by understanding what love is can he avoid failure again.

In fact, it doesn’t matter to him whether he loves or not, because he really doesn’t understand it.

He hesitated for a moment before speaking.

"I don't know whether I like you or not."

He is not the kind of person who would do anything to achieve his goals, so he spoke out his true feelings.

This was also the first time that Ibuki Emi experienced such a thing. For a moment, she didn't know what to say. However, since things had already been said to this point, there was naturally no reason to back down.

After staring at Ikari Fumihiko for a while, he asked again.

"do you hate me?"

"it's OK."

Ikari Fumihiko answered straightforwardly.

"Although not hating it doesn't mean I like it, but I can feel it..."

She paused for a moment before speaking again in an affirmative tone.

"You have a crush on me."

"really."

Ikari Fumihiko was certain that he had a liking for her, but he knew in his heart that this liking was probably due to a man's natural liking for beautiful women.

“That’s called love.”

Even though she said this, Ibuki Emi didn't know whether it was right or not.

After all, she has no experience in this area.

Fumihiko Ikari was speechless and couldn't find a reason to refuse.

"Then let's try dating."

"That's right—"

At this moment, the genders of the two seemed to have swapped. Ibuki Emi now looked more like a male than Ikari Fumihiko.

Even said it.

"Isn't it just a relationship? You won't suffer any loss if you try."

Such words.

Ikari Fumihiko smiled bitterly and shook his head.

"Why do I feel like you are trying to trick me?"

"What's your trick?"

Ikari Fumihiko agreed, which made Ibuki Emi bolder.

While speaking, she glanced at Ikari Fumihiko's lower body. She wanted to say some more private words between lovers, but she caught a glimpse of Ayanami Rei drinking Coke beside her, so she swallowed the words back. At the same time, she was not ready to confess herself right now.

Fumihiko Ikari naturally noticed Ibuki Emi's gaze and immediately understood what she didn't say. However, considering the presence of a little child like Ayanami Rei, Fumihiko Ikari naturally would not say such words on his own initiative.

Ibuki Emi moved her body slightly to the side to make some room, and signaled with her eyes that Ikari Fumihiko should sit over.

Ikari Fumihiko hesitated for a moment but finally sat down. He had already agreed to the other party's confession, and now that they were boyfriend and girlfriend, it was natural for them to be closer.

"Are you too tired from work? That's why you want to date me and push the work onto me."
