I participated in the development of EVA

The person who first suggested watching a movie was Ikari Yui, and now the person who is ruining the atmosphere the most is also Ikari Yui.

Fumihiko Ikari glanced at the time and it was already past seven o'clock.

"It's time to go have dinner."

In fact, he didn't care about the time. He just sensed that it was time for dinner from Rei Ayanami's hungry eyes, so he took out his cell phone to check the time.

Everyone packed up their things and walked out of the cabin. It was already completely dark outside.

"Let's light the bonfire."

Ikari Fumihiko immediately gave an order to the camp supervisor.

"Yes."

As the bonfire was lit, the majestic flames illuminated the night sky. The electric lights that illuminated the night sky were turned off, and the surroundings suddenly became darker. The light provided by the bonfire was far less bright than the electric lights. However, this place was close to the lake and in the forest. After the sun went down, the temperature dropped to a relatively low level even in summer. With the heat provided by the bonfire, Ikari Fumihiko, Ayanami Rei, and Ibuki Emi, who were wearing bathrobes, did not feel cold.

Everyone gathered around the dining table, eating the dinner prepared by the chef.

wrong--

There was one person among the group who did not eat the ready-made dinner. That person was Akagi Eri. After eating a simple meal, she started to grill the meat herself. The reason for this action was not that she was interested in cooking, but that she was worried that if she missed this opportunity, she would never have the chance to come out again in the future, so she cherished every minute and every second of the present.

After all, she is not Ibuki Megumi, and she has no personal relationship with Ikari Fumihiko. They are just ordinary superiors and subordinates, and she herself is just an ordinary grassroots staff member of the organization.

After dinner, Ikari Yui completely replaced Ikari Fumihiko and became the real organizer of the event.

He gathered everyone around the bonfire and danced to the music.

This made Ikari Fumihiko breathe a sigh of relief. He was still thinking about how to liven up the atmosphere during the meal, and Ikari Yui's help finally helped him out.

Everyone came out to celebrate the New Year, so naturally they had no resistance and just danced to the rhythm.

Only Gendo Ikari was a little out of place, but in the end he was pulled up by Yui Ikari and jumped up.

Although everyone was still young, they rarely exercised on weekdays. They were tired after playing for a while, so they went back to their rooms to take a shower, and then went back to the cinema to watch a movie. Of course, Ikari Yui's original plan was to take turns telling ghost stories around the campfire, but it was vetoed by Ikari Fumihiko, so they decided to watch a movie instead.

With the precedent of the dinosaur movie, Yui Ikari carefully selected a popcorn movie.

It was almost eleven o'clock when we finished watching the movie. We were all too busy at work and had limited energy, so we had to give up the plan to spend the last minute of 2003 together.

After everyone separated, Fumihiko Ikari noticed that Eri Akagi did not return to her bedroom, but went outside with an astronomical telescope, obviously going to spend the night in the tent. He just paid attention to her for a glance and then paid no more attention. There were a lot of security guards here, so Eri Akagi would not encounter any danger while camping outdoors. At the same time, he didn't know what to talk to Eri Akagi about.

After returning to the room, he tried for a long time to suppress the idea of attacking Ibuki Emi at night.

but……

Not long after he lay down on the bed, there was a knock on the door. He thought it was Ikari Yui who wanted to talk to him about something, but after opening the door, he was surprised to find that the person who came was Ibuki Megumi.

Now she took off her casual clothes and put on her bathrobe again.

Although his hair was blow-dried, it was still obvious that he had taken a shower before coming here. Besides that, he also exuded the scent of shower gel.

The blush on her face looked very alluring.

Ikari Fumihiko swallowed subconsciously to moisten his increasingly dry throat. He was not a fool and naturally knew what Ibuki Emi was thinking after seeing this scene.

"Um... the hair dryer is broken..."

Ibuki Emi found an excuse for her appearance here that was totally untenable.

"It's okay, nothing's broken here."

Ikari Fumihiko pulled her into the room. When their hands touched each other, he could clearly feel that Ibuki Emi's body became stiff due to tension at this moment. He did not rush to do anything, but followed Ibuki Emi's excuse and took out a hair dryer from the cabinet to blow her hair. He had blown Fuyutsuki Kana's hair many times before, so his movements were not unfamiliar and could even be called skilled.

Although I knew this was not a good idea, I still subconsciously made comparisons in my heart.

Ibuki Emi's hair is smooth, beautiful and of very good quality, while Fuyutsuki Kana's hair quality is a little worse, a bit thin and dry.

"alright--"

After a while he finished blow-drying her hair.

"Thank you. Then I...I won't disturb your rest..."

I was mentally prepared before coming here, but it's obvious that Ibuki Emi is now starting to back off.

There is no reason to let go of the meat that is right in front of your mouth.

"The TV signal has been restored, and I found a good TV series."

Ibuki Emi glanced at the TV series that was not turned on, and knowing that this was just a routine of Ikari Fumihiko, she still nodded with blushing cheeks.

When he went back to the room to take a shower and change clothes, Ikari Fumihiko was a little curious when he saw the TV. He wanted to know what the Japanese video channels usually broadcast. Although he did not find the expected programs, he learned that some radio stations outside had not resumed operations. Therefore, his words just now were not completely a trick on Ibuki Emi.

I turned on the TV and randomly found a radio station that was playing on TV.

As for what the TV series was about, neither of them paid attention and just played the chorus of life together.

Only after he actually got the hang of it did he realize that he had not overestimated it, and Ibuki Emi was indeed a girl before.

This surprised him greatly, and it was a little hard to believe that Ibuki Emi had never done this at the age of 26. He was delighted but also a little regretful. If he had known this would happen, he would definitely not do it. However, he naturally could not back down since he was halfway through. There was nothing he could do because he did not have much experience in this area and could not see in advance that he would not be able to do it.

The next morning, Fumihiko Ikari was awakened by the incessant ringing of the phone. He picked up the phone tiredly and answered it.

"Happy New Year."

After saying this, Ikari Yui got down to business.

"It's already so late, why aren't you here yet? It's time to go back——"

"No way... starting work on the first day of the new year?"

With Ruanyu in his arms at the moment, he had no intention of going to work at all. Even though he had been busy for so long last night, he didn't have the energy now.

201. You came out alive

As an experienced wife, Ikari Yui immediately noticed something unusual from the tiredness revealed in Ikari Fumihiko's words.

I wanted to hang up the phone directly, but in the end I couldn't resist my curiosity.

"Emi was at your place last night?"

If I don't ask, I'll feel uncomfortable.

Ikari Fumihiko hung up the phone without replying.

[Even if you don't tell me, I can still know it! ]

After taking a look at the text message, he threw the phone aside carelessly.

After locating and retrieving the surveillance video, he got the truth and contentedly arranged for everyone to return to the base, leaving only Akagi Eri to take care of Ayanami Rei.

When I woke up, it was almost noon. We lingered for a while before getting up to eat.

It started again after dinner.

If it weren't for the remaining rationality reminding them, the two of them would not leave the room for the whole day. No... they would leave the bed.

After accompanying Rei Ayanami to dinner, the two returned to their room.

I completely forgot about the time and was woken up by the phone again in a daze.

"Are you done yet? Didn't I say I didn't want to work on the first day of the new year..."

He was totally confused.

Ikari Yui was speechless.

“It’s already number three.”

"what?"

Hearing this, Ikari Fumihiko's brain froze a little. Isn't today the first day of the new year? How come it's already the third day?

"It's okay even if you want to rest for one more day. I won't say anything. Just think of it as your annual leave. But...if you continue like this, I'm worried that your body won't be able to take it and you'll die in bed."

Ikari Yui said it very bluntly.

His mind cleared up a little, and he switched his phone to the main interface and took a look at the calendar.

2004年1月3日下午14点37分。

"what?"

He let out an unconscious "ah" and his brain became clearer.

"No way? It's been three days?"

"It's been almost four days..."

Ikari Yui's tone revealed helplessness, worry, and amazement.

"If I don't call you now, will you not stop until one of you dies?"

"Uh--"

He didn't quite know what to say.

Lingering on for nearly four days was indeed a bit too much.

Of course, if he didn't have the evidence of the mobile phone calendar, but only looked through his hazy memory, he would still think it was January 1st.

No wonder my legs felt weak and my body felt hollow during dinner.

It's been three days already.

As I was expressing my feelings, a plot from the original novel flashed through my mind. When Katsuragi Misato was dating Kaji Ryosuke, they stayed in a hotel for a week. During that time, just like him now, except for eating and bathing, all the time was spent in bed. When I saw this plot before, I just thought it was exaggerated, but now I understand that this is the advantage of youth.

"Uh what? Come back here quickly, don't let me pass."

Ikari Yui was really worried that if she continued to let things go like this, Ikari Fumihiko would die in her friend's belly.

"Uh……"

"Stop it, speak human language!"

"understood."

He knew that he couldn't go on any longer, otherwise he might really die in his bed.

Just after he put down his phone, Ibuki Huimi came up to him, and he couldn't control himself and responded again when she asked for him.

After finishing, he got out of bed to take a shower, but his legs were so weak that he almost couldn't stand. Fortunately, Ibuki Huimi had already entered the bathroom and didn't see this scene.

At this moment he was really a little scared.

After entering the bathroom, before he could say anything, Ibuki Huimi asked.

"Was it Ikari Yui who called just now?"

"Ah."

Ikari Fumihiko responded and then deliberately mentioned something.

"If she hadn't told me, I wouldn't have noticed that today is already January 3rd."

"what?"

Ibuki Huimi was also a little confused, and was obviously also in a daze and didn't pay attention to the time.

"What? Isn't today the first?"

He asked the same question as Ikari Fumihiko had asked before.

Ikari Fumihiko replied with certainty, "No, it's already afternoon on the 3rd."

It took Ibuki Huimi a while to digest this shocking news, but she was still a little bit unbelievable that the two of them were so absurd.
