I participated in the development of EVA

This time, Fumihiko Ikari did not refute.

"Then I'll call Ikari Yui right now."

"Aren't you too anxious? She should be resting now, right?"

Ikari Fumihiko raised his head and glanced at the clock.

It is almost twelve o'clock in the morning. There are no urgent projects at the moment, and most of the ordinary employees have already gone to bed.

Of course this refers to ordinary employees.

"She doesn't go to bed so early."

Even though Ikari Fumihiko didn't say this, Ibuki Megumi knew it well. In the entire E-Project team, except for Ikari Fumihiko, who rested before midnight most of the time, it was normal for the other management to rest at one or two o'clock in the morning. During the tense period before the completion of the construction of Unit 0, they would stay up for several days in a row after taking a break.

The reason I said that just now was just to maintain my dignity as a woman.

As soon as the call was dialed, it was answered by Ikari Yui.

"What happened?"

Fumihiko Ikari called so late at night, and Yui Ikari took it very seriously.

She asked anxiously without waiting for Ikari Fumihiko to tell a lie.

"Is Unit-00 experiencing a new malfunction?"

"No."

Ikari Fumihiko first denied Ikari Yui's guess, and then to prevent her from having wild thoughts, he told her the truth directly.

"I want to arrange two assistants for Huimei to share the work. I hope you can recommend a few suitable candidates to choose from."

Ikari Yui was silent for a long time, obviously left speechless by Ikari Fumihiko.

Is this what you're calling me about in the middle of the night?

I finally squeezed out some time to see my son and his husband being intimate, but you ruined my plans!

In the past, she and Ikari Gendo were extremely busy every day and did not get enough rest, so they had no energy to be intimate. Even if one of them was not so tired, they would give up being intimate because they felt sorry for the other. It was only now that they discovered the method of debugging the potion to quickly restore energy that they regained interest in being intimate.

At this moment she really wanted to yell.

Did you know——

Under what circumstances did I answer the call!

In the end, this question was not uttered.

"it is good."

She replied hastily through gritted teeth and hung up the phone without even waiting for Ikari Fumihiko to reply.

Ikari Fumihiko looked at his phone and his expression became strange.

Ibuki Huimi asked curiously.

"What's wrong with you?"

"I think I called at the wrong time..."

"She's in a meeting?"

"Ugh—it's worse than that."

"What's worse than having a meeting interrupted?"

Ibuki Huimi obviously didn't react.

Ikari Fumihiko replied awkwardly.

"nothing."

He didn't want to say it, but Ibuki Huimei's curiosity was aroused.

"What the hell is going on? Stop talking halfway."

"Uh... um..."

Ikari Fumihiko hesitated for a moment before telling the truth.

"When she hung up the phone ... I heard a gasp."

"what?"

Ibuki Huimei didn't react at first.

"It's just the sound of panting..."

Halfway through her speech, she finally realized that after nearly four days of madness, she was no longer a novice who had never experienced anything.

His expression immediately became strange.

"This... this is really... terrible..."

After a long while she finally stammered out a reply.

The originally normal atmosphere became ambiguous at this moment, and Fumihiko Ikari could no longer hold back.

"These jobs have been piling up for several days, and it won't make a difference if they pile up overnight."

After receiving the hint from Ikari Fumihiko, Ibuki Huimi blushed a little and nodded shyly.

Ikari Fumihiko was a little worried that Ibuki Megumi would not be able to accept it, so he proposed a compromise.

"Then stay in the lounge here and rest tonight."

"Ah."

Ibuki Huimi responded slightly.

There is no difference between the lounge and the dormitory. The basic facilities are all there, except that the single bed is a little awkward.

The next day, Ikari Fumihiko, Ayanami Rei, and Ibuki Huimi just returned to the Unit 00 project team from the cafeteria.

Ikari Yui threw a list to Ikari Fumihiko with a gloomy face.

"These people are in a relatively stable mental state and have strong ability to handle affairs."

Then he added through gritted teeth.

"Don't call me in the middle of the night unless it's something important!"

Seeing the strange look on Ikari Fumihiko's face, even Ikari Yui couldn't hold back and blushed. She had obviously realized that Ikari Fumihiko had heard what she was doing during the phone call last night. Now she was shy and very angry at the same time, but she knew in her heart that if she made a fuss about this kind of thing, the situation would become even more embarrassing.

Therefore, she could only suppress her anger, pretend that she noticed nothing and turned away. She needed to calm down for a while.

"She actually held back. I thought she was going to beat you up."

Ibuki Huimei breathed a sigh of relief when she said this.

If the two of them really started fighting, she really didn't know how to deal with it. Fortunately, Ikari Yui was more rational.

Ikari Fumihiko touched his nose a little embarrassedly. What happened yesterday was not intentional on his part. It was just a bad coincidence. However, when he noticed that Ikari Yui's face changed just now, he was already prepared to be beaten. He did do something wrong in this matter. As long as Ikari Yui didn't go too far, he could tolerate it.

210. My goodness, you only look at people’s legs, right?

"Um--"

Ikari Fumihiko responded awkwardly and then changed the subject, which was really a bit awkward.

"Come and take a look at this list."

Ibuki Huimi took the list and flipped through it.

They are all internal staff of the Unit 00 project team.

"It's about the same as the one I had in mind."

After a pause, he asked for Ikari Fumihiko's opinion.

"How many do you want to find?"

Ikari Fumihiko really wanted to say that the more the better, and it would be best if Ibuki Megumi did nothing, but in his heart, Ibuki Megumi would not accept such an arrangement.

"It's fine as long as I can get off work at eight or nine every day."

No specific number was given, only the requirements were stated.

Ibuki Emi's thoughts are similar to Ikari Fumihiko's.

"Then let's just hire one for now."

After saying that, he looked through the list carefully again, and after a while he circled a person with a pen.

"This is the guy."

Ikari Fumihiko took a look and felt that he looked familiar. He must have seen this person often in the project team, but he was not familiar with him specifically.

"Well, you can do whatever you want... To be honest, I'm not familiar with these people."

Ibuki Huimei really wanted to say something.

These people are the elites of the Unit 00 project team. They belong to the internal management of the project team, your direct subordinates, and are like confidants. Yet you are not familiar with any of them.

In the end, he didn't say it out loud. Fumihiko Ikari was indeed the kind of person who didn't care about such things at all.

Others all want to hold power tightly in their hands, but Fumihiko Ikari doesn't seem to care about the power in his hands.

Then the doorbell rang.

"Come in."

A person walked in from outside. It was the person that Ibuki Huimi had previously selected.

"Team leader, deputy team leader, the preliminary preparations for starting the experiment have been completed."

I didn't react when I saw the photo, but when I saw her long pink hair, her beautiful round legs, and her slender calves tightly wrapped in over-the-knee socks, I realized that she exuded a youthful and beautiful aura.

No wonder the name Yae Kiriko looked so familiar, it turns out that she is the person who has been in charge of the work of the shrine maiden.

its not right--

Wasn't this person a member of the project team before?

I looked down at the file and found out.

Ever since Yae Kiriko was asked to dress up as a shrine maiden last time, her files were directly transferred from other projects.

"You talk to her, I'll go over first."

Ibuki Huimei responded.

Yae Kiriko was confused, but then she realized that she was going to disguise herself in shrine maiden clothes again.

No! Again?

I really only worked as a shrine maiden for a day, no! A few hours, while doing odd jobs.

Please! Let me go——

The shrine maiden costume does look good, and many people say it suits them, but she really doesn't know how to be a good shrine maiden.

It seems that it is really necessary to receive professional shrine maiden training.

In an ordinary company, she would be able to refuse such unreasonable demands, or even quit directly. With her diploma, she would have no trouble finding a new job. However... in this company that shoulders the fate of the global human race, she has to compromise no matter how unwilling she is. No... it’s not that she has to compromise, but she has to compromise on her own initiative.

Since joining the research institute after the Second Impact, she has only one thing left in her life: to do something for the world.

As long as she can contribute a little to this world, let alone just playing the role of a witch, even if she succeeds in becoming a bluestone for others to stand on and is trampled on at will, she will have no regrets.

After Ikari Fumihiko left, only Ibuki Megumi and Yae Kiriko were left in the office.

"Don't be nervous. I kept you here just to ask if you are willing to be my assistant."

The reason she chose Yae Kiriko was that she had strong working ability, and secondly, she felt that Yae Kiriko was a relatively clean person without a complicated background, and she didn't seem like someone who would cause trouble behind the scenes.

Yae Kiriko was a little dazed.

"Aren't you asking me to play the role of a witch?"

Although she was resisting the job of a guest shrine maiden, she felt a little disappointed after hearing what Ibuki Huimi said.

Ibuki Huimi was a little surprised. Is this kid addicted to playing the role of a shrine maiden?
