I participated in the development of EVA

He really couldn't figure it out.

Previously, in order to increase the probability of catching fish, the staff had released a large number of fish fry into the lake. This place can be called a fish pond, but even so, not a single fish could be caught.

I want to find a computer to look through the Three Sages System data, but...

In order to prevent hacker intrusion, the underground base is not connected to the outside world in any form. Even on weekdays, when entering external data into the database, tools such as disks are not used. Instead, it is entered manually bit by bit. Of course, a series of strict audits must be carried out before manual entry.

Maybe I've become accustomed to a busy life, and now that I have some free time, I feel a little uncomfortable.

After taking a look at the yachts in the lake, he endured it.

As time gradually approached noon, the two of them went to the bathroom on the yacht to wash up, changed into casual clothes, and then left the yacht and returned to the hotel.

"How was it, did you gain anything this time?"

Ikari Fumihiko responded without blushing or beating his heart.

"Ah."

He waved to the waiter and gave an order.

"Bring out the fish I caught."

"Yes."

The waiter came out with a bucket of fish. The number was not exaggerated, but not too small either, and the fish were of different sizes.

Naturally, these fish were prepared in advance by the waiter after Ikari Fumihiko came back. When he was instructing the waiter to prepare the fish, he even thought of a story in his previous life about how he couldn't catch any fish, so he bought fish of all the same size to show off at home, but was exposed by others. So he deliberately instructed the waiter when selecting the fish that they should not be of all the same size.

Misato Katsuragi didn't feel anything, but Ritsuko Akagi looked surprised.

"Did you really catch this?"

Faced with the questioning of Akagi Ritsuko, who knew him well... No! She didn't know him well, but was questioned by Akagi Ritsuko, an acquaintance of his, Ikari Fumihiko couldn't hold back and responded with a guilty conscience.

"Ah."

The two of them had been camping together so many times, so naturally he would go fishing every time, but he always came back empty-handed.

It became clear after seeing this situation, but Ritsuko Akagi did not expose Fumihiko Ikari.

"Then let someone prepare it and eat these for lunch."

"Ah."

Ikari Fumihiko responded and then asked another question.

“Is it grilling outside or inside?”

Both of them looked at Katsuragi Misato.

"Let's go indoors. It's too hot outside. If we light a fire, we'll be half dead. It's better not to do that just for a meal. Well, let's go outside to barbecue when it's cooler at night."

Ikari Fumihiko gave an instruction to the waiter.

"Do as Ms. Katsuragi says."

"Okay, please wait a moment."

Seeing this scene, Misato Katsuragi felt more and more that Ikari Fumihiko's identity was not simple. It was not because of the awe shown by the people around her, but because she felt that it was impossible for a talented girl like Akagi Ritsuko, who had excellent academic performance, to be obsessed with a scumbag second-generation, even to the extent that she knew that the other party had a girlfriend, but still couldn't cut off her feelings for him.

Before they met, she thought he was a handsome guy, or a cool old man, but after they met, she couldn't understand.

This person just looks ordinary, doesn't he? There's nothing special about him.

Where does such great charm come from?

17:09:40

302. At least it can add some fun

The three of them sat on the sofa in the hotel lobby. Fumihiko Ikari thought for a moment and decided to find a topic to break the silence.

"Are there any popular movies on the market recently?"

Ritsuko Akagi wanted to join a research institute after graduating from university to help her mother complete her research, so she focused all her attention on studying.

“I don’t pay attention to that.”

Misato Katsuragi shook her head.

"Recently, a movie about aliens invading the earth and being defeated by humans using an electronic virus became inexplicably popular. Since then, the entire film market has been filled with popcorn movies about humans fighting aliens. The content of this theme is really empty. It's fun to watch one or two, but it's boring to watch more."

Without waiting for Ikari Fumihiko to speak, she continued.

"The trend of fighting aliens has finally passed, and now it has become a theme of humans fighting mythical creatures. The content is no different from fighting aliens. It's just a change of soup but the substance remains the same. The editors who wrote those plots didn't use their brains at all and just changed the aliens into some mythical creatures.

correct!

Whether it is aliens or mythical creatures, their appearance is not much different from the legendary giants. These directors and screenwriters really have no talent at all. They only know how to use hugeness to express the insignificance of human beings and the power of the enemy. "

Although she survived thanks to the protection of the storage chamber, she fainted when the impact occurred, so she did not see the First Apostle who was like a giant of light.

Therefore, no abnormality was noticed.

When Ikari Fumihiko heard this, he subconsciously thought more about it.

Has the outside world already noticed the existence of the Apostles on Earth? Is it planning to use the movie to give all of humanity a heads-up?

Uh--

I'm overthinking this, it could just be a coincidence.

He felt that he knew too much inside information, which made him a little sensitive.

Ritsuko Akagi added.

"Actually, those movies aren't that bad. They contain a lot of useful expertise."

She was wholeheartedly devoted to her studies, but could not resist Misato Katsuragi's enthusiasm and was dragged to watch many movies.

Ikari Fumihiko thought for a moment and waved to a waiter.

"Are there any new movies coming out here?"

“Yes, all the movies that have been released and are about to be released are prepared.”

Misato Katsuragi was a little surprised.

isn't it?

There is even such a thing?

Fumihiko Ikari and Ritsuko Akagi did not react much. The latter did not care about these things, whether they existed or not. The former knew how powerful the Seele force was. Not to mention just getting some film, it was not impossible for them to even start a war between the big powers.

"Pack up, I'll go over to watch a movie this afternoon."

"Yes."

Fumihiko Ikari previously talked about movies simply to find a topic, but now he has the inspiration to convey a message.

Find a movie similar to The Truth and invite Ryosuke Kaji to watch it with me in the future.

Wouldn't this be too obscure?

The top management really can't guess what he wants to do, and I guess Ryosuke Kaji may not be able to understand it either?

Uh--

He was also helpless. If he wasn't more subtle, he wouldn't be able to hide it from the higher-ups. But if he was too subtle, he was worried that Kaji Ryosuke wouldn't realize it.

Forget it, take one step at a time.

Whether it will succeed or not depends on God’s will.

Lunch was soon ready. Fumihiko Ikari and Ritsuko Akagi ate the ready-made food directly. Misato Katsuragi tried to grill the fish herself but soon gave up because the food she made was too hard to swallow. She also understood why the two didn't grill the fish. This looks simple but actually requires a lot of skills. She then followed suit and started to eat the food prepared by the chef.

In the afternoon, the two followed Ikari Fumihiko to a private cinema.

Fumihiko Ikari took a quick look at the list of movies with synopses written on them. It was just as Misato Katsuragi had said before, the core of the movies were all the same, either humans fighting aliens or humans defeating mythical creatures. Although the core of dozens of movies was the same, the story frameworks were different. He soon chose a movie in which humans committed suicide by destroying an ancient seal, causing an evil Titan to awaken and destroy the world.

This movie happened to be released recently, and Ritsuko Akagi and the others had not seen it yet.

Although Misato Katsuragi complained about the monotony of the plot, she started to watch it seriously as the story progressed.

Looking at the scenes in the movie that focus on how ordinary people escape from such disasters, Fumihiko Ikari's previous speculation emerged again in his mind. The increase in the number of movies with these two themes may really be giving ordinary people a vaccination and subtly teaching the audience how to escape from such disasters.

As he was thinking this, he felt someone tugging at the corner of his clothes. He looked over and his eyes met with Ritsuko Akagi's.

Even though Ritsuko Akagi didn't say anything, he knew that she had the same idea as him.

He was not surprised by this. Ritsuko Akagi was a smart person and knew about the existence of EVA, so it was not difficult for her to realize this.

After the movie ended, Misato Katsuragi turned her attention away from the movie and glanced at Ritsuko Akagi next to her, her eyelids twitching suddenly.

no--

Others haven't even taken action yet! Why did you take the initiative to stick to them?

She couldn't help but sigh sadly in her heart.

Hey!

Even if you can't control yourself, at least be reserved! This way, even if you are cheated on, you can at least make the other person cherish you a little more.

Of course, this is how she felt, but she would not really watch Ritsuko Akagi jump into the fire pit.

Although she wanted to continue watching some newly released movies for free, she was a little worried about this situation. After the next movie, Naoko Akagi was already lying in the other person's arms.

"Ritsuko, let's go out to the lake and get some sun."

Ritsuko Akagi didn't want to go. The sun outside was too strong today. Sunbathing was not a pleasure at all, but rather putting herself in a steamer.

"Wait until the sun sets a little bit..."

Before she could finish her words, she was dragged away by Misato Katsuragi.

The two of them came to a corner where no one was around, and Katsuragi Misato spoke sadly, "Did you eat all the words I said before with the grilled fish? It's fine if you weren't on guard... but why did you get so close to him? Even if you wanted to get close to him, you should at least be more reserved. Even if you can't make him cherish you, it can at least add some interest. Uh! No... I'm so mad at you."

"no……"

Ritsuko Akagi wanted to explain, but didn't know how.

She had felt the same judgment in Ikari Fumihiko's eyes before, so when she saw humans wailing under the destruction of monsters in the movie, she subconsciously worried about the future of mankind and the fear of the second impact. She was just a smarter college student, not an old man who had experienced the vicissitudes of life, nor an absolutely rational robot. She would naturally seek a sense of security when she was panicked, so she got closer to Ikari Fumihiko before.

But how could I tell Misato Katsuragi about these things that involve so many things? Even if I could, it wouldn't be of any help. It would only pass the panic in my heart to another person, making another person panicky and anxious.

17:10:36

303. Mostly the same

Looking at Akagi Ritsuko's hesitant look, Katsuragi Misato just felt that she was being stubborn and sighed secretly, wondering how such a smart person could become so confused.

She was about to say something when Ritsuko Akagi spoke again.

"Some things cannot be said, you will understand them later."

In her opinion, EVA has such a huge body, and the enemies she will face in the future should also have the same body size as EVA. When it appears, the efforts made by everyone in the research institute over the years will no longer be concealed and will be known to the world. At that time, Misato Katsuragi will know what Fumihiko Ikari has shouldered for this kind of world.

He took a deep breath and added.

"He invited us here this time probably because he was under too much pressure and simply wanted to have some fun."

Akagi Ritsuko spoke so mysteriously that Katsuragi Misato was a little confused.

Is this because the poisoning is too severe? Or is there something else going on?

"Forget it. Like you said, I don't know a lot of things, so I won't comment on them. But there is one thing I must say. I hope you understand what you are doing and don't do anything stupid."

Ritsuko Akagi took a deep breath and nodded solemnly.

"I know."

"hope so……"

At this time, Misato Katsuragi couldn't tell whether Ritsuko Akagi really understood or was just trying to fool her.

The two did not really go out to bask in the sun. The sun was so strong that it seemed as if it would roast people. Instead, they went to the entertainment hall.

Time soon came to evening, and the sky and the earth became dim.

Fumihiko Ikari watched a movie for the whole afternoon, and the two of them played in the recreation room for the whole afternoon.

When the three met again, it was already completely dark, but the weather was still a bit hot and humid, so they did not have a barbecue outside, but instead had a simple meal in the restaurant. Then the three of them separated again. Fumihiko Ikari returned to the screening room, while the other two held astronomical telescopes, admiring the starry sky above their heads in the evening breeze, and they also set up a tent in the open space outside.
