I participated in the development of EVA

Although Naoko Akagi still has her charm and good figure, she doesn't look like she has given birth to a child. No, she is the only one busy at the scene.

But before he could speak, Akagi Naoko said something without even raising her head.

"Don't bother me, I don't need help and I don't know what you should do now."

Ikari Fumihiko had no choice but to resort to feudal superstition.

"Go and invite Yae Kiriko--"

Basically everyone present was transferred from the Unit 00 project team, and when they heard the name, they knew what Fumihiko Ikari was going to do.

Yae Kiriko has become numb. During this period of time, she has changed from a researcher who only worked as a shrine maiden part-time during college to a shrine maiden who only wants to do research. Now she can hardly tell whether her main job is a researcher or a shrine maiden. She didn't have this problem before, but since she met this superstitious boss, her life has become like this.

Now, not only does the EVA construction project ask her to serve as a guest researcher, but uh... apart from the witch, other project teams also look for her whenever they want to do something superstitious.

This kind of job is easier than being a researcher, but it is really shameful.

Every time she wanted to shout...

Who came up with this prayer process for Kuchikamzuki? Quick - stand up, I want to help you with your blessing!

275. A visit from a senior executive

The verification did not take too much time, and Gendō Ikari got the answer from Professor Yamaki and the prototype.

It's OK to get out of the program, at least...

Professor Yamaki had no problems using it.

This conclusion made him even more desperate.

If there was a problem that deviated from the procedure, there would be a solution to the problem, but now he couldn't find the problem and saw no hope of saving his wife.

He returned to the Unit-01 project team and sat in his chair, not even noticing that his son Shinji Ikari was not there.

The gloomy aura emanating from his body became increasingly intense.

After a long time, he raised his head and first looked at Akagi Naoko who was still busy.

"Not okay yet?"

Every moment that passes now is extremely painful.

Naoko Akagi shook her head.

"No."

Not getting the answer he wanted from Naoko Akagi, he looked at Fumihiko Ikari again.

"Is there really no other way?"

Ikari Fumihiko looked into his eyes and felt that Ikari Gendō's gaze at this moment was like that of a drowning person.

"No."

When Ikari Gendo heard this answer, he felt older, as if he had lost his soul. His eyes became scattered, and only when he fixed his gaze on Unit-01 did there appear some ripples in his eyes.

In this way, everyone accompanied Ikari Gendō, and several hours passed before their eyes in a flash.

"Team leader, what do you think of the arrangements for the minister's son now?"

The person who came was the one who was previously arranged by Ikari Fumihiko to take care of Ikari Shinji.

This problem should be solved by Ikari Gendō, but at the moment, he is emitting a low pressure atmosphere, making it impossible for others to approach him.

Faced with this problem, he was really embarrassed. Now that Ikari Gendō ignored it, he couldn't just ignore it.

Leave it to Ibuki Huimi to take care of?

Now that Ibuki Megumi is not making a fuss, it means that she still doesn't know the specific situation. Now handing Ikari Shinji over to her care is clearly telling Ibuki Megumi that something has happened to Ikari Yui. Given their relationship, she will definitely come to check on the situation. Ikari Fumihiko had previously stopped her from coming in because he didn't want her to be involved in this incident.

"You can take care of it for the next few days."

The female employee was a little embarrassed.

"Can……"

"If he asks about Minister Ikari, tell him that mother is busy lately."

"Ok."

Ever since this female employee asked for instructions on her work, Fumihiko Ikari suddenly had more things to deal with.

"Team leader, you see everyone has been working non-stop for nearly fifteen hours."

"You arrange for a few people to be on duty, and the rest of you go and rest."

"Ah."

In addition, some other trivial matters were dealt with.

When Fumihiko Ikari finished his work, only Naoko Akagi and Gendo Ikari were left in the command room.

Ikari Gendo sat there as usual, staring at Unit-01 in a trance.

Naoko Akagi is still busy in front of the computer.

Ikari Fumihiko ignored Ikari Gendō and Akagi Naoko. He wanted to go back to the dormitory but didn't know how to explain the situation to Ibuki Megumi, so he decided to spend the night in the lounge.

[Things are a bit troublesome here, so I won't go back tonight. 】

Sent a text message to Ibuki Emi.

Ibuki Emi, who had been anxious all day, immediately called back.

Listening to the noisy ringing of the phone, he hesitated for a moment and hung up the call. Since he didn't know what to say, the best solution now was to not answer the call.

After hanging up the phone, he replied with a text message feeling somewhat guilty.

【inconvenient. 】

Not long after, Ibuki Emi sent a text message.

【What happened to you? 】

【can not say. 】

【Did something happen to Wei? 】

Ikari Fumihiko sighed and didn't reply to the message. Mainly because he didn't know how to reply. Ibuki Megumi was not easy to fool.

When I woke up the next day, I found Naoko Akagi resting on the sofa in the office. However, her sleeping posture was not very good. Her hip skirt had gone up to her waist, revealing her evil safety pants. Although Naoko Akagi is old, judging from her skin condition and figure, she looks like she is in her thirties. You can't tell at all that she is in her forties. I don't know if she takes good care of herself or is just naturally beautiful.

Fumihiko Ikari thought it should be the latter.

After looking at her for a few seconds, he withdrew his gaze from her graceful hip curve and left the office immediately to avoid embarrassment. However, he did not notice that Akagi Naoko's face was flushed at the moment. She only pretended to be asleep to avoid embarrassment. After he left the office, Akagi Naoko immediately sat up from the sofa and tidied her messy clothes.

As soon as I walked into the command room, I saw Ikari Gendo still sitting there like a wax figure, maintaining the same posture as yesterday, with bloodshot eyes.

Everyone in the command room breathed a sigh of relief when they saw him appear, but he retreated again because the atmosphere was too solemn, and almost bumped into Akagi Naoko who had calmed down and rushed over.

"Uh--good morning."

Compared to Ikari Fumihiko's poor psychological quality, Akagi Naoko was much stronger and responded as if nothing had happened.

"morning."

Then get down to work.

In order to ease the embarrassment, Fumihiko Ikari randomly picked a topic and asked a question.

“When will the program be upgraded?”

"I don't know when the changes will take effect and when they will be completed. Of course, if the whole process still has no effect, I can't do anything about it."

"Oh."

This was pretty much what he had expected.

When Naoko Akagi announced the failure of the rescue, it was the end of the incident. The top management would not allow Gendō Ikari to continue to drag a large group of people like this, especially since they included Fumihiko Ikari and Naoko Akagi, two core members of the R&D department.

Three days passed as Gendō Ikari worked without sleep. During this time, he conducted six tests outside the program, but all ended in failure.

And this is the seventh and final time.

"If it doesn't work this time, I will have no other options."

Ikari Gendo has only drunk some water these days, and now he is relying on his faith to hold on with one breath, and this breath means that Akagi Naoko is trying again.

Naoko Akagi pressed the Enter key, activating the escape procedure after the seventh debugging.

After waiting for a while, there was still no response, not even any fluctuations in the numerical values.

It is clear……

This time the result was the same as the previous six times.

It also announced that...

Rescue failed!

Naoko Akagi terminated the program and put away the computer.

"Feel sorry."

After saying that, he walked out.

She had already done everything she should and could do, and there was no point in staying any longer.

Ikari Gendō looked at Ikari Fumihiko, obviously hoping that he would try connecting again.

Before Ikari Fumihiko could speak, a man who walked in from outside spoke first.

"That's it—

Ikari Gendō."

Ikari Fumihiko had no impression of the visitor, but the person who could appear in the Unit-01 project team at this time and directly address Ikari Gendo by name was obviously from a high-level position.

"Captain Ikari, you've worked hard. You can go back and rest. There are still many things that need your attention."

16:54:22

276. Really?

Fumihiko Ikari did not ask about the identity of the visitor because there was no point in asking. Even if the other party told him the name, he would not have any impression of it.

"You handle all matters concerning him and Shinji?"

The visitor responded.

"Yes."

Fumihiko Ikari didn't say anything else and left the Unit-01 project team directly.

After three days, I returned to the dormitory for the first time.

When Ibuki Huimi and Ayanami Rei saw him come back, their eyes lit up, but the next moment Ibuki Huimi's face turned cold.

"Li, go back to the room and rest first."

Although Rei Ayanami was somewhat reluctant, she still turned around and went back to her bedroom.

Only then did Ibuki Huimi question Ikari Fumihiko.

"What happened?"

Although the incident has now been settled, the matter is still confidential and Fumihiko Ikari doesn't know what to say.

Seeing that Fumihiko Ikari didn't say anything, she expressed her guess.

"Did Wei do the same thing as Grandpa?? How is she now?"

"She didn't make it out."

Ibuki Emi's face suddenly turned as pale as paper.

"Didn't come out?"

"Correct."

Ibuki Huimi staggered and almost fell, but fortunately Ikari Fumihiko reacted quickly and caught her in his arms, preventing her from falling.
