I participated in the development of EVA

Ibuki Huimi was the first to come to her senses and asked with an unnatural expression.

"Do you want to continue?"

Fumihiko Ikari continued to turn up the volume of the TV and then proved his attitude with his actions.

By the time the two of them finished washing up and appeared in the restaurant, the others had almost finished eating.

The two of them subconsciously glanced at Fuyutsuki Kana, and were relieved when they saw that there was nothing unusual on her face.

"You two are so slow in taking a shower! We're almost done eating."

Ikari Fumihiko gritted his teeth and replied.

"Emi, I was delayed a little while putting on my makeup."

Apart from this reason, I really don’t know how to explain it.

I don't know whether it was intentional or not, but the only empty seat at the table was the one next to Fuyutsuki Kana. Ibuki Huimi definitely couldn't sit next to Fuyutsuki Kana at this time, so Ikari Fumihiko had no choice but to bite the bullet and sit next to Fuyutsuki Kana, and Fuyutsuki Kana sat next to him.

Kana Fuyutsuki looked calm and there was nothing unusual about her, and Fumihiko Ikari breathed a sigh of relief.

Until the waiter brought their breakfast, Kana Fuyutsuki was still chatting with Yui Ikari beside her.

After breakfast, everyone prepared to set off.

At this time, Fumihiko Ikari asked Ikari Yui.

"We're going to explore the water park area today, right?"

"Well, what happened?"

"Emi and I don't have any swimsuits prepared. Do you have any money? Emi and I will go buy swimsuits later."

Ikari Yui didn't say anything, but looked at Fuyutsuki Kozo beside her.

The itinerary for this outing was arranged by the other party.

"There's a place selling swimsuits over at the water park..."

Fuyutsuki Kozo stopped mid-sentence and said, "Well, that store is run by foreign goods. If you want a swimsuit, you have to pay for it."

After hearing this, Ikari Yui immediately understood.

What Fuyutsuki Kozo meant by saying that is...

I don't have any money either.

Ikari Yui looked at Ikari Gendo.

Ikari Gendo spread his hands helplessly, "I don't have the currency used in the outside world now."

Ikari Yui was worried.

"How about making a phone call and having someone send it over?"

Kana Fuyutsuki coughed dryly, attracting everyone's attention.

"Don't bother. I'll buy you swimsuits."

Ikari Fumihiko and Ibuki Megumi instinctively wanted to refuse, but Fuyutsuki Kana did not give them a chance to refuse.

"No use refusing, that's it! If you really don't want to spend my money, then pay me back after the deed is done."

Ikari Fumihiko did not agree, but asked Ikari Yui a question.

"Can't you arrange for someone to send the money over?"

Now, except for Fuyutsuki and his daughter, and Ikari Gendo and Akagi Ritsuko who have been out, the rest of the people have no ID and naturally have no bank accounts, so they can only ask someone to send cash over.

Ikari Yui really wanted to find a reason to refuse so that she could see more fun, but she was worried that Ikari Fumihiko would get angry and just not go.

But after hesitating for a moment, she was ready to struggle.

"It's really a waste of time to just wait here. How about... let Kana pay for it first, and I'll have the finance department transfer the money directly to her account?"

Ikari Fumihiko naturally knew what Ikari Yui was thinking. After glaring at her, he was about to say something when Fuyutsuki Kana spoke first.

"Alright, we're all acquaintances, not strangers. Don't delay your trip because of this. Don't say anything... It's settled!"

Things had come to this point, and Fumihiko Ikari nodded helplessly.

Everyone got on the bus and returned to the marine reserve.

The water park and aquarium are connected together. You can enter the water park through the aquarium, or you can drive or take a boat there.

It seems like there are many choices, but in fact there is only one choice.

We walked through the aquarium and were so tired that we didn't have the heart to play in the water park. As for taking a boat? It hadn't been purified yet, and the smell was choking the nose if we got a little closer. It might not be useful to wear a gas mask when taking a boat, so the only remaining option was to take a car.

257. If you don’t do it, you won’t be wrong

As the car passed through the light red sea water, there was a flash of sadness in everyone's eyes.

In this post-catastrophe world, what can best awaken people’s memories is not the ruined cities, but the red ocean.

There were only two people who were different.

Rei Ayanami has not experienced the second impact, nor has she seen the world before the catastrophe, nor has she experienced the torture of the destruction of her relatives, friends, and everything she knows. Naturally, she cannot empathize with everyone else. She is just confused because the ocean is different from that in the documentary. No one has specifically explained all this, so she thinks it is just a bloody ocean in the world.

The world was already like this when she came into the world.

After all, Fumihiko Ikari is not from this world. No matter how much he knows or understands, he cannot empathize with those who survived the Second Impact.

Faced with the sea water that was still light red in color after treatment, he was only shocked by the horror of the second impact.

Everyone was a determined person and quickly came back to their senses from the silence.

The water park exuded a dilapidated atmosphere. Some employees were cleaning up the ruins. One could vaguely make out the well-known entertainment facilities such as the Ferris wheel and roller coaster, but there were almost no intact buildings. After driving for a long time, the bus stopped in front of the only well-preserved building, which looked like a swimming pool.

Different from the dilapidated atmosphere of the surrounding areas, this place has gathered a lot of people, not employees, but seemingly tourists.

Not only that, there are also some scattered shops and stalls.

"In addition to donations, the main source of income for Dr. Watanabe's team is this swimming pool and marine fish farming. Well, the aquarium is not open yet, and this one is semi-open."

No one cared about this.

It is impossible to accomplish anything with just passion. After all, even if there is no need to pay salaries, people still need to eat, and treating seawater and repairing buildings all require financial support.

Everyone entered the swimming pool. Although it was a holiday today, there were not many people in the swimming pool.

This is the suburbs, and it is already quite good to have such a flow of people. If we want to further increase its popularity and attract people from the city center, we have to wait until the aquarium, a special facility, is open to the public and the Neihu Sea is purified. Only then will people be willing to leave the city center and come to the suburbs to play and relax.

Naoko Akagi was a little surprised.

"I thought there were only us and no other outsiders."

Ikari Fumihiko was equally surprised.

With so many people, aren’t the top executives afraid of accidents?

He was relieved to see that Ikari Gendo had no reaction. This was most likely a test of everyone's loyalty by the top management.

As for the tourists in front of us?

The vast majority of them are members of the organization, of course it is also possible that all of them are members of the organization.

The person who tempts may be yourself.

It could also be Fuyutsuki Kozo, or Ikari Yui's father, or Akagi's mother and daughter.

He didn't care about it. No matter what arrangements the top management made, there would be no problem as long as he didn't do anything unnecessary.

Ikari Yui replied in a calm tone.

"It's not good to be lively——"

"Nothing, just a little surprised."

Naoko Akagi didn't care about the number of people. Just like what she said, she was a little surprised to see so many people present. At the same time, she also realized that this might be a test from the top management. As for who they were testing and what kind of arrangements they had made, she didn't care either. Anyway, she came out to fulfill her mother's duties and had no extra thoughts.

"Let's go to the swimsuit store together."

Ikari Yui suggested this.

She hadn't been out for a long time and wanted to go for a walk.

No one has an opinion.

The swimsuit shop is set up in the swimming pool. The shop is quite large and has a wide variety of swimsuit styles, which makes people feel dazzled.

Of the three men in the team, except for Ikari Fumihiko who randomly picked out a pair of swimming trunks, Ikari Gendo and Fuyutsuki Kozo were just standing at the door of the store waiting.

Ibuki Huimi had long been accustomed to playing someone else. Her eyes were fixed on those swimsuits with fashionable styles and less fabric. However, she quickly came to her senses and randomly picked out a plain and conservative swimsuit. If they were the only ones in the swimming pool, it would naturally not matter what they wore. However, there were many unfamiliar outsiders inside.

When she was about to leave, she noticed Rei Ayanami wandering around the store and immediately asked her.

"Did Rei bring a swimsuit?"

"Li brought it."

Ikari Yui walked around but didn't see any style she liked, so she followed Ibuki Megumi, and Fuyutsuki Kana did the same.

Fumihiko Ikari took a closer look when checking out.

The currency used by Kana Fuyutsuki was a new style, which was slightly different from the style he knew from the information, but it was generally similar to the records in the information. Although the design was not bad, it still gave people a feeling of being hastily made. If it was not in a hurry, why continue to use so many old coin designs.

They went shopping in the nearby shop and bought some miscellaneous snacks before going their separate ways to change into their swimsuits.

After coming out, Fumihiko Ikari was a little surprised by the swimsuit styles of Yui Ikari and others.

Except for Kana Fuyutsuki who was wearing a swimsuit that looked very fashionable and had less fabric, the styles of the others were relatively conservative.

Ok……

What surprised him was the swimsuit worn by Kana Fuyutsuki, because this swimsuit had accompanied him through many lonely nights.

He subconsciously touched his nose a little embarrassedly and shifted his gaze to Ibuki Huimi.

The swimsuit she was wearing was too conservative in style and looked a bit rustic, making her the perfect foil to Kana Fuyutsuki's beauty.

Not only Ibuki Megumi, but Akagi Naoko and Ikari Yui also became supporting roles. Only Akagi Ritsuko was able to compete with her with her youthful aura. Of course, for special people, the most conspicuous among the girls is Ayanami Rei. The children's swimsuit on her body makes her look more cuter than ever.

Everyone was either a married woman, had a boyfriend, or was still young. They had no desire to compete for beauty and did not care that Kana Fuyutsuki was dressed more beautifully than themselves.

There are various water entertainment projects in the swimming pool, and the crowd has no plans to disperse.

Gathering together to experience different projects one by one, Fumihiko Ikari originally thought that something would happen during the period, but after playing for another day, nothing happened. Fuyutsuki Kana also completely ignored the two of them, which made him doubt whether the test he guessed existed, but he was still sure that there were definitely many members of the organization mixed in the crowd.

On the way back to the hotel on the bus, Ikari Yui suddenly leaned over to Ikari Fumihiko and said something.

"Stop imagining things and enjoy your trip! You may never have another chance like this again."

Ikari Fumihiko didn't know what Ikari Yui was trying to say, so he just responded.

"Oh."

Ikari Yui glanced at Fuyutsuki Kana who was sitting in front of her, and felt that the other party might not be able to hear her, so she explained in a low voice.

"Once your identity information is made public, and you appear in the eyes of outsiders like this, outside forces will swarm around you like flies and try every means to get close to you."

Only then did Ikari Fumihiko react.

When he visited the aquarium on the first day, he kept feeling strange as to why no force took the opportunity to approach him. It turned out that his personal information had not yet been known to the outside world.

258. Get ready to go home

"When will we go back?"

"It's not easy to get a chance to go out and have fun, so I have to stay a few more days."

Ikari Fumihiko knew that Ikari Yui was obviously going to indulge herself one last time this time for the first time, so he didn't say anything else.

He had no objection to being able to be outside.

After all, only when you are outside can you wake up in the morning to bask in the sunshine and see the starry sky at night. However, the climate in Japan has remained in summer, resulting in hot temperatures.

"Oh."

The response was calm, but the heart was not so calm.
