I participated in the development of EVA

It was not until they arrived at Ikari Yui's grave and there were no outsiders around that he spoke again.

"In any case, if there are more facilities around, your life will be more colorful in the future. Maybe you will have a chance to fulfill your dream and open a game company."

ha?

When did my dream become to start a gaming company?

The point is obviously to live a life of luxury and debauchery! Setting up a gaming company is just a means to achieve that life of luxury and debauchery.

Of course, Ikari Fumihiko only thought about these truths in his heart and did not dare to say them out loud.

wrong!

The life of extravagance and decadence can be described.

After a year of settling down, Ibuki Huimi no longer had the initial sadness she had felt when she paid tribute to Ikari Yui again. She calmly placed the bouquet of flowers in front of the grave, observed a moment of silence, and then continued her chat with Ikari Fumihiko.

"Of course, the premise is that the enemy will not appear so early."

There was no change in her tone when she said this, just like when she fainted from excessive grief at the funeral of Ikari Yui when she just died, and now she was just observing a moment of silence in front of Ikari Yui's tombstone. No matter what time it is, it will be settled by time, the fear of the Third Impact; the worry about human civilization; how many years she can live... these are the same.

After all, it has been four years since the second impact, and even the fifth year is about to pass by.

This is true for Ibuki Megumi and Ikari Fumihiko as well.

When he first crossed over, he was full of worries, as if the Angels would attack at the next moment. Even though he knew it would take more than a decade for the Angels to attack, he still felt like he would turn into orange juice at any moment. Now, what Ikari Fumihiko is most concerned about is not when NERV, an important organization in the original work, will be established, or how to stop the human completion plan, but...

"There are no clues yet, but I don't think the enemy will appear in the short term..."

After a pause, he expressed his thoughts again.

"Well, let's have a baby."

This is not the first time he has proposed this idea, he proposed it a year ago.

Ibuki Huimi is still worried that if they have a child, the child will be selected as a reserve pilot, and she doesn't want the child to come into this world and suffer.

It's not that the two of them cannot provide material support for the child, but the environment is unstable. Although the sky is clear now, the enemy may attack in the next moment, and the world will be destroyed and mankind will perish. Even if the enemy can be defeated, there will definitely be devastation... She still can't understand what kind of mood Ikari Yui was in when she chose to give birth to Ikari Shinji.

It is also impossible to understand why Fumihiko Ikari is so eager to have a child.

She just wants to maintain the status quo now. Unless the enemy has been defeated and the world is stable, she will not consider having children.

Of course, these words cannot be said directly.

"It's not appropriate now, let's wait a little longer."

Ikari Fumihiko sighed. Ibuki Huimi had given this answer half a year ago, and the answer now is still the same.

"What exactly are you worried about?"

"The enemy could attack at any time. It's too dangerous to have a child now."

Ikari Fumihiko really wanted to say something.

The enemy will attack in 15 years... that is, in years. Are you ready to consider having children when you are almost years old? However, Emi Ibuki would definitely not believe such unsubstantiated words.

Apart from sighing, he really didn't know how to deal with this problem.

In fact, he couldn't figure it out. The world would end in ten years, and this was obviously not a good time to have children. Why was he so obsessed with having children? Did he think that the family would be complete only if he had his own offspring? Or did he want to prove to himself that he was different from his father in his previous life and could become a qualified father? Or did he want to fulfill his grandfather's wish in his previous life?

Ibuki Huimi looked around Ikari Yui's tombstone and saw that there was no need to clean up, so she stood up and prepared to leave.

"Let's go back."

"Ah."

Ikari Fumihiko responded.

As soon as the two turned around and walked out, they saw Ikari Gendo.

This was the first time he had seen Ikari Gendō since they parted at Ikari Yui's funeral, but he had more or less paid attention to Ikari Gendō's whereabouts over the past year. After he sent Ikari Shinji to live with relatives in the countryside, he did not get together with Akagi Naoko, but had been busy in the outside world doing something unknown and had never returned to the research institute.

Ikari Gendo first glanced at the bouquet of flowers in front of the tombstone, then nodded to the two of them.

Ibuki Huimi snorted coldly with some dissatisfaction and dragged Ikari Fumihiko out.

Over the past year, Ibuki Megumi has complained to Ikari Fumihiko many times that her husband, Ikari Gendō, has not paid as many tributes to Ikari Yui as she, an outsider.

Although Ikari Fumihiko nodded in agreement, he understood in his heart.

When one person is displeased with another person, whatever the other person does is wrong.

Ibuki Megumi still blamed Ikari Gendō for Ikari Yui's death, thinking that it was Ikari Gendō who did not take good care of his wife that caused the accident. Of course, this is because the plot in the original novel where Akagi Naoko fell for Ikari Gendō did not happen, otherwise Ibuki Megumi would not just be unfriendly to Ikari Gendō now, but would be certain that Ikari Yui was killed by the adulterous couple of Ikari Gendō and Akagi Naoko.

After all, according to the original plot, Gendo Ikari and Naoko Akagi got together shortly after Yui Ikari disappeared.

Ibuki Huimi already had a prejudice against Ikari Gendo, so when she encountered this situation, she would naturally think of the worst.

In fact, even if Ibuki Megumi didn't drag Ikari Fumihiko out now, with Ikari Fumihiko's personality, the most he would do is nod and say hello to Ikari Gendō.

"He still has a conscience. I thought he didn't even remember his wife's death anniversary."

Ikari Fumihiko didn't say anything but just listened to Ibuki Megumi's disparagement of Ikari Gendō.

Compared to the matter of Ikari Gendo and Ikari Yui, he was more concerned about how to convince Ibuki Megumi to have a child.

282. For ordinary people, it seems that they are all the same

When the two returned to the base, Rei Ayanami had already gotten up and was waiting in the living room for them to take off their formal attire and change into casual clothes.

The three of them then left the dormitory and walked towards the cafeteria.

"It's been a year, and Li doesn't seem to have changed at all."

Halfway through the walk, Ibuki Emi suddenly said this.

Fumihiko Ikari subconsciously glanced at Ayanami Rei next to him. Just as Ibuki Megumi said, although a year had passed, time seemed to have stopped for Ayanami Rei. Generally, girls around ten years old are in puberty, but Ayanami Rei's physical data remained the same as a year ago with almost no change.

“It’s probably because of late development.”

He responded casually.

On weekdays, most of the documents are handled by Ibuki Huimi, but many important secrets will not appear in the form of documents, so Ibuki Huimi has not been exposed to secrets related to Ayanami Rei.

Ibuki Huimi didn't say anything else, but she had her own guess in her mind. She thought that this must be a genetic defect of the cloned human. She also knew that Ikari Fumihiko would not tell anything. The reason she asked this question was to make Ikari Fumihiko pay attention to this point, so as not to cause any problems to Ayanami Rei due to momentary negligence. Although Ayanami Rei disturbed their world of two people, after all, the two of them had been together for a year and had more or less some emotional foundation.

She didn't say it out loud, but since they had been together for so long, Ikari Fumihiko could naturally feel the worry in her heart.

however……

This is not because of any hidden dangers in cloning technology, but the curse of driving EVA. The body is being affected by EVA's AT force field and is becoming an apostle. Of course, longevity can also be considered a curse.

Compared to a curse, he felt that this was more like an evolution.

A transition in the level of life.

Uh……

Ok!

Longevity is a curse in some ways. One has not changed, but the things around him that he cares about and is familiar with are all gone before his eyes. If a person has a bad mentality, he will definitely go crazy. No, no matter how good his mentality is, as long as he is still a human being, he will definitely go crazy.

But this is not the fault of longevity, but the short life of the things around us.

If everyone has the same lifespan, then there won't be such a problem? No, it would be more appropriate to say it's a problem.

He didn't have any good solution to this problem, so he could only let the situation develop.

Ayanami Rei listened to the conversation between the two and also paid a little attention to her own physical condition. However, there were no peers around her to serve as a reference, and no one to teach her about this aspect, so naturally she didn't have any worries in this regard. Of course, if she knew that she could eat more food in one meal after her body developed, she would be worried about it.

After breakfast, the three of them went to the director's office together.

Ikari Fumihiko and Ibuki Huimi were dealing with documents on their desks, while Ayanami Rei was watching a documentary alone.

EVA driving training has long reached a bottleneck and there is no need to cooperate in collecting any data. In addition, the disadvantages of LCL liquid have not been resolved. For safety reasons, Fumihiko Ikari modified Rei Ayanami's training plan half a year ago, from training every day to training once a week. If the top management had not disagreed, he would even want to send Rei Ayanami to school.

Rei Ayanami's duty when she was born into this world is to pilot EVA to save the world. Normally, she should focus all her attention on piloting EVA, but he does not want Rei Ayanami's life to be filled with endless training.

Of course, he can still distinguish the priorities of things.

If there was still room for improvement in training, he would naturally not do this.

After all, Rei Ayanami will be on the front line fighting the enemy in the future, and strength is the greatest guarantee of her life.

Before the documentary was finished, Ritsuko Akagi walked in from outside. Compared to a year ago, Naoko Akagi had grown a lot, her body was fully developed, and she looked much more dull. When Rei Ayanami, who was watching the documentary intently, saw Ritsuko Akagi's arrival, her expression fell.

It's not that there is any hatred between the two, but that Ritsuko Akagi is now one of Rei Ayanami's private teachers.

He would take time out during holidays to teach Rei Ayanami all kinds of knowledge. She could easily handle things that required rote memorization. However... as the teaching progressed, Rei Ayanami was tortured by mathematics and had to use the Ayanami Network to cheat. However, as a clone of the external brain, she was naturally not good at things that the original body was not good at. This caused the Ayanami Network, which was mysterious for modern science, to often crash.

"No, Li can live well without math knowledge."

Rei Ayanami's cry did not cause any ripples, and what needed to be faced still had to be faced.

In order to prevent her from escaping, the teaching was placed in the director's office, under the supervision of Fumihiko Ikari.

Ritsuko Akagi took out a few papers and placed them in front of Rei Ayanami.

Rei Ayanami was looking at the math test with a bitter face, and she had a pitiful expression on her face, looking like an abandoned little animal. Ritsuko Akagi took out a thick book and sat aside to read it. Maybe he didn't know much about it, Fumihiko Ikari felt that Ritsuko Akagi's life was very empty, and there was nothing but studying. He had the impression that every time they saw each other, she was studying.

Considering that it is already 05, in the original work, Ritsuko Akagi is already old enough to go to college.

He couldn't help but ask.

"Ritsuko, you should be going to college this year, right?"

Ritsuko Akagi did not take her eyes off the book, but still responded.

"Yes, I was admitted to the university in the second New Tokyo city."

Tokyo, once a megacity with a population of tens of millions, has been rebuilt, but due to its limited population it has been split into two cities, New Tokyo 1 and New Tokyo 2. Of course, in terms of scale and population, it is more appropriate to call it a town rather than a city. This is still a situation similar to that of the capital of Japan. The rest of the areas are even worse, from which we can see how great the damage brought by the second impact was.

Since becoming the director, Fumihiko Ikari's knowledge of the outside world is no longer completely blank. He knows that the Second New Tokyo University is already the best university in Japan at this stage.

Of course, what he cared about was not Ritsuko Akagi's academic performance.

"Did you make any friends?"

"I guess so..."

Ritsuko Akagi thought of the outgoing guy in school.

Although she didn't say the name, Ikari Fumihiko already knew who she was thinking of.

Misato Katsuragi.

A very impressive character in the original work.

Of course, what impressed me most was not the label of father love on the other party, nor that the other party was the only one trying to open the door to Shinji Ikari's heart, but the words in the movie version, "Go——! ! Shinji-kun, not for others, but to realize your own wish." It awakened Shinji Ikari.

Although this almost triggered a complete third impact, at least that scene did move Fumihiko Ikari who was in front of the screen.

Of course, only in front of the screen...

If I really lived in this world, I would definitely hate Misato Katsuragi for this.

It was not until now that Fumihiko Ikari realized that he had overlooked a serious issue.

Is this the old timeline or the new theatrical timeline?

Uh--

Ok!

For ordinary people, there is not much difference between the old and new versions, and the later stages are all in purgatory.

16:58:26

283. You Need a Complete Childhood

Whether it is the old version or the new theater, any aliens passing by will be frightened and have psychological trauma, stay away from the earth, or be so scared that they flee from the nearby star field overnight.

Of course, the premise is that this alien is not the mastermind behind the scenes.

Fumihiko Ikari withdrew his attention from the messy thoughts in his mind and thought about whether he should take the opportunity to get close to Ryosuke Kaji.

Right now Ryosuke Kaji is just a student and has not yet become a double agent, so he cannot play a role for the time being.

Uh--

He hesitated for a moment, but decided that he couldn't keep getting by like this, and he had to struggle no matter what.
