I participated in the development of EVA

She was also wearing pajamas, and they were very conservative ones, which naturally did not attract as much attention as Rei Ayanami's limited edition loose pajamas.

The most important thing is...

The pajamas that Ibuki Megumi usually wears are more adult in style. Even today's conservative pajamas are of adult style. The pajamas that Ayanami Rei wears are printed with cute patterns and are like a princess dress. They look very girlish. This set of pajamas is completely opposite to Ibuki Megumi's usual image.

236. Lubricant

Fumihiko Ikari's eyes were fixed on Ayanami Rei, while Megumi Ibuki blushed a little and looked a little at a loss. She was obviously embarrassed that Fumihiko Ikari discovered that she was wearing such childish pajamas. After all, she was already in her twenties, but she was wearing pajamas that were so girlish.

Rei Ayanami blinked her big eyes and sat there blankly, not knowing what she was thinking about.

Fumihiko Ikari was a little uncomfortable with this situation. He would take a shower directly after returning to the dormitory on weekdays. Of course, the key point was that he didn't have the habit of wearing pajamas. Li in the dormitory naturally didn't prepare pajamas. He couldn't just come out wrapped in a bath towel after taking a shower, right? Although Li was just a child in his eyes and didn't treat her as the opposite sex, he still had to pay attention to some things.

How about sleeping separately?

This thought just flashed through my mind and was immediately dismissed.

If it's just one or two days, then sleeping separately is fine.

But he planned that in the future, if it was not necessary, he would not let Rei Ayanami rest in the medical cabin.

This was the decision made in the afternoon when the clone's hair and nails were trimmed. However, a similar idea had already been in her mind. It was just that Rei Ayanami was completely unable to leave the medical cabin at the time and had to receive treatment every day. Otherwise, her body would collapse into the most basic form of life because the AT force field would not be able to maintain its human form due to the rapid cell division.

Now it is not necessary to receive treatment every day, and naturally some changes need to be made.

I have such thoughts without any irresponsible reason. I just think that family members should live together. It can also be understood that I don't want Rei Ayanami to live too lonely.

The reason why it took so long to implement was mainly because we didn’t know how to arrange it.

If we had not suddenly realized that there were hidden dangers in LCL, this matter would have continued to be delayed until we moved into a large enough dormitory in the future.

Ibuki Huimi is a careful person. Unlike Ikari Fumihiko, she thinks a lot outside of work.

"I knew you didn't prepare pajamas in advance."

"Ah."

Ikari Fumihiko responded, then looked at Ibuki Megumi expectantly.

Ibuki Huimei did not disappoint him. She did not say, "I thought of it, but I was too busy to remember it." Instead, she took out a pair of men's pajamas from the closet.

"Are you sure this is for me?"

There's nothing wrong with the style of the pajamas, but the color is a little too masculine.

It's really too pink——

"This is the only pajamas that fits. There are no other colors."

Seeing Ibuki Huimi's misaligned gaze, Ikari Fumihiko knew that the other party was definitely doing it on purpose, and then shook his head helplessly.

He was not averse to these little pleasures in life.

I took the bath towel and walked into the bathroom. Without paying close attention, I saw Rei Ayanami's clothes thrown in the basket beside me while she was taking off her clothes. I don't know who picked out a pair of pure white panties with a teddy bear pattern for Rei Ayanami. After thinking about it, I felt that it should have been done by the female nurse who had been taking care of Rei Ayanami. Apart from thinking that the style was a little cute, I didn't feel anything special about it.

Compared to what I saw today, none of this is worth mentioning.

Even if he had not experienced the baptism of the incubator, he would not feel anything. Except for some improper thoughts about Ayanami Rei at the beginning of the time travel, he now just regards Ayanami Rei as a child.

He knew that Rei Ayanami wouldn't mind having her clothes mixed with his, but after a slight hesitation, he put the clothes he took off on the other side.

Just as I turned on the shower to rinse my body, there was a knock on the bathroom door.

"what happened?"

"Hurry up and wash, Li needs to go to the bathroom."

It was Ibuki Eimi’s voice.

Ikari Fumihiko was only slightly embarrassed before responding.

"I've closed the shower curtain, let her in."

We will experience many similar things in the future, and it is impossible to avoid them perfectly every time. Instead of being embarrassed today, it is better to adapt quickly.

Ibuki Huimi felt that this was inappropriate, but she did not raise any objections.

She didn't want to create a situation where Fumihiko Ikari had to choose between her and Ayanami Rei. Besides not wanting to put Fumihiko Ikari in a difficult position, she was also a little insecure and didn't dare to take the risk.

"Ah."

He answered and opened the bathroom door for Rei Ayanami.

The sound of the shower falling on the ground immediately reached my ears, and I subconsciously looked in the direction of the shower.

The shower curtain did not become translucent after being wetted by water.

Therefore, there was only the sound of water and no human figures were visible, which made her feel relieved.

People outside cannot see inside, and people inside naturally cannot see outside, which makes the situation less awkward. However, she soon discovered that she was the only one who could not adapt to the current situation. Fumihiko Ikari did not stop taking a bath, and Ayanami Rei did not care that Fumihiko Ikari was taking a bath right next to her and sat on the toilet very naturally.

Just as she was stunned, the voice of Ikari Fumihiko came to her ears.

"Emi, pass me the shampoo."

Although there is a storage rack in the bathroom, the dormitory was designed for one person and the space reserved for the bathroom is very limited, so the storage space is not large. Now the storage rack is full of Ibuki Huimi's bathing products, and all those he uses are placed on the lid of the toilet sink.

Ibuki Huimi handed the shampoo to Ikari Fumihiko, then walked out and closed the bathroom door.

Because she could tell from Ayanami Rei's embarrassed posture that the other party was so nervous that she couldn't pee because of her presence.

Standing outside the bathroom, looking at the closed door, silent.

It wasn't until I heard the toilet flushing that I reacted.

What’s the matter?

Why do I feel like I'm the outsider who doesn't fit in?

He sighed secretly and stared at Rei Ayanami in silence again.

Rei Ayanami is indeed very cute, but no matter how cute she is, it can't change the fact that she suddenly broke into her life and ruined their world of two.

Not long after, Fumihiko Ikari finished his shower, changed into his pajamas and came out. He no longer had that initial embarrassment he had when he came back, and he looked much more natural. This was because while he was taking a shower just now, Ayanami Rei was going to the toilet nearby, and he realized that there was no need to be so restrained, after all, Ayanami Rei had even wet her pants before.

Feeling the somewhat awkward atmosphere, Fumihiko Ikari knew that this arrangement would make it difficult for Ibuki Huimi, but there was nothing he could do about it.

Of course, he didn't just leave Ibuki Huimei to adapt on her own. He knew that he had to act as a lubricant between the two of them, but he hadn't figured out how to do it. After all, it was the first time he encountered such a situation. The only solution he could think of was to move to a bigger house to reduce the conflict. However...

Due to current limited conditions, the plan of replacing the house with a bigger one cannot be implemented.

"Okay, it's getting late, let's go to bed."

237. Relationships need adjustment

Ibuki Huimi looked at the double bed next to her.

It's not crowded for two people to sleep, but for three people... well, it won't be crowded either. After all, Rei Ayanami is just a child now and doesn't take up much space.

The main worry is how to arrange the three people.

Ayanami Rei didn't think about anything. She just saw that neither of them went to bed to rest, so she waited there too.

Ikari Fumihiko also struggled for a while before he figured out how to arrange it.

"I sleep on the outside, Huimei sleeps in the middle, and Li sleeps on the inside."

As I said this, I was also considering whether to replace it with a bunk bed, or remove the sofa to make some space for an extra bed.

Under the arrangement of Ikari Fumihiko, Ayanami Rei went to bed first, while Ibuki Megumi lay down on the bed reluctantly only after Ikari Fumihiko pulled her down.

Perhaps it was really awkward, Ibuki Huimi spoke not long after she lay down.

"I checked today and found no family dormitories. Those family dormitories were first built by people who needed them and converted them privately."

In fact, this was not what she wanted to say at first. She wanted to say that she was going back to her dormitory to rest, but she was worried that this would backfire, so she changed her mind temporarily.

“I asked the minister about this as well.”

After a pause here, Ikari Fumihiko repeated Ikari Yui's joke.

"Shinji is sleeping in the toilet."

"what???"

Ibuki Huimi was a little confused when she heard the news. After a while, she asked back uncertainly.

"Shinji, is he Yui's son?"

"Correct."

"This...this is also..."

For a moment, Ibuki Huimi didn't know how to comment on Ikari Yui's behavior. After a long time, she said something with difficulty.

"Uh, is this really a biological child?"

"If they are not your biological children, you won't do this, right?!"

"Well, it seems to be true."

Ikari Fumihiko did not explain. It was just a joke. There was nothing he could do. Ibuki Huimi's expression was too interesting, so he didn't want to explain. Of course, the most important thing was that he was not in the mood to explain. After all, the two were in the stage of passionate love. He had a beautiful girl in his arms. He wanted to do something, but because Ayanami Rei was right next to him, he could only suppress these thoughts.

Unlike the two people who felt uncomfortable, Ayanami Rei did not feel anything unusual.

She doesn't understand many common sense, let alone the relationship between men and women. Well... well, although some documentaries involve "spring is here, and it's time for the beasts to do that thing", she obviously doesn't understand the meaning at her age. No! To be precise, she doesn't pay attention to this aspect, she just watches it for the novelty.

"Li can't sleep."

She was used to resting in the medical cabin, and suddenly had to switch to normal sleeping. Although it was not the first time, it still made her feel a little uncomfortable.

It's like a fish out of water.

Feeling the gazes of Ibuki Megumi and Ayanami Rei, Ikari Fumihiko felt a little overwhelmed, not knowing how to deal with the situation.

But soon, something mentioned in a novel I had read before flashed through my mind.

Uh--

In this situation, it seems appropriate to tell a story.

What story is this?

"Once upon a time there was a mountain without a name. In the mountain there was a temple. In the temple there were an old monk and a young monk..."

Ibuki Huimi was a little surprised that Ikari Fumihiko could tell stories. She had never experienced such a thing before. She listened attentively, but she didn't realize that Ikari Fumihiko did not play by the rules at all.

The same goes for Rei Ayanami.

"The old monk is telling a story to the young monk. What story is it? Once upon a time there was a mountain with no name. There was a temple in the mountain..."

When Ibuki Huimi heard this, she felt something was wrong.

"You're not repeating the same old monk telling the young monk stories over and over again, are you?"

Fumihiko Ikari was also helpless. Although he had many stories in his mind, after all, he had watched many anime dramas in his previous life, so it was possible for him to reproduce them one-to-one, but he didn't know how to turn these plots into stories. The story that he remembered most deeply in his mind was this little story that was a variation of the story of the three monks and was specifically used to fool people.

"Uh... Congratulations, you answered correctly."

Then he explained again.

"I have been busy studying all this time, and basically have not come into contact with any stories. I just heard this little story of teasing when others were playing around."

Ibuki Huimi can understand Ikari Fumihiko's situation. Her current achievements are closely related to the elite education she received since childhood. When she was young, she recalled that in addition to various tutoring classes, she also attended various interest classes. The only thing that could be considered lucky was that her parents did not regard her as a tool for class transition, so she did not receive "bride" training since childhood.

Fairy tales that are familiar to the public, such as The Little Mermaid and Snow White, are very far away from her.

Ikari Fumihiko felt that the atmosphere was a bit awkward, so he immediately said something jokingly.

"How about I tell you a math problem? Math classes always make people sleepy in school."

Ibuki Huimi glared at Ikari Fumihiko unhappily.

"Can you stop being so boring? I remember I have a videotape. Let's play a movie."

Naturally, Fumihiko Ikari had no objection to this proposal, and he immediately turned on the TV and played a movie.

The three of them lay on the bed and watched.

At first, Ikari Fumihiko didn't react, but after watching for a while, his expression became strange.
