I participated in the development of EVA

I definitely can’t talk about driving EVA, there is only one thing I can talk about.

"Playing games."

"what?"

Misato Katsuragi was stunned. This device that sounded so high-end turned out to be a gaming device.

"No way? It's a waste to use it for playing games! At least it should be used for human-computer interaction——"

"Human-machine interconnection is actually not difficult, but the current network infrastructure is not good enough. It will have to be developed to 5G before there is hope."

“Is there no way to miniaturize the equipment?”

"Such a sophisticated device cannot be completely portable no matter how small it is. It can only be connected through the Internet. Compared with human-computer connection, it is more difficult to play games with this device."

"No way? Aren't games just pixels? This thing shouldn't be difficult to make, right?"

Ikari Fumihiko understood.

Misato Katsuragi understood "playing games" as using the neural connection device as a game controller to play games.

"You have the wrong concept."

"???"

"When I say playing games, I mean playing with the human world. Well, basically it means creating a virtual world and playing in it."

Now Misato Katsuragi understood but was also confused.

“Creating a virtual world??”

"Yes, in theory, as long as there is enough computing power, it is entirely possible to create a real world. The neural connection device is the key to this world, which is probably..."

Misato Katsuragi waved her hands hastily and interrupted Ikari Fumihiko's next words, "Stop talking, just hearing the concept makes me feel that this thing is very complicated. Even if I grow another brain, I may not be able to understand it. You should talk to Ritsuko about this topic! She will definitely be very interested. Uh... Ritsuko can't understand it at this stage, right!?"

"I guess you can understand that? Uh, well... this is a little embarrassing."

17:20:34

323. Are you blackmailing her?

Misato Katsuragi cannot understand technology, but she can continue this concept to imagine the future.

"What kind of world do you want to create? Science fiction or fairy tale?"

"fairy tale?"

"It's about making fairy tales like the seven dwarfs."

Ikari Fumihiko joked.

"You want to play a dwarf?"

"No! It's Snow White."

"I see! Are you trying to create a world where the seven dwarfs and Snow White have to tell stories?"

After he finished speaking, Fumihiko Ikari regretted it. It was okay to say such dirty words to Ibuki Megumi, just as a little romantic interest between lovers, but it was obviously inappropriate to make such a joke with Katsuragi Misato.

But the words have been spoken and there is no chance to take them back.

Misato Katsuragi was stunned for a moment, but didn't care and just continued speaking along with what Fumihiko Ikari said.

"It's a pure love story with the Prince Charming, not with the seven dwarfs, nor with the hunter."

Ikari Fumihiko couldn't help but complain.

"No, I didn't mention hunter just now, did I? Why did you add hunter in?"

Misato Katsuragi said this with a look of despair on her face.

"I opened a collection of dark fairy tales out of curiosity, and the first story unfolded in this way. Either the hunter imprisoned Snow White because of her beauty, or the seven dwarfs imprisoned Snow White. Although the Prince Charming rescued Snow White in the end in both stories, it was just the beginning of another tragedy."

Misato Katsuragi didn't think that way, and Fumihiko Ikari breathed a sigh of relief.

"Well, it's certainly dark enough."

"In the book, Little Red Riding Hood was bitten to death when she first encountered the Big Bad Wolf. The author even noted that wolves don't eat food alive."

"No... How old were you when you read this book? Did it not leave any psychological trauma?"

"Just last year, I don't know who put this book in the school library. I won't talk about it anymore. It makes me sad just thinking about it. Can such a fairy tale be made?"

"Yes, whether it is a fairy tale or science, the only difference is the way of presentation. There is no essential difference."

"This is amazing! When the research and development is successful, can you let me experience what it feels like to be Snow White?"

"You can, but...will you choose to eat the poisoned apple?"

"Uh... probably not. Fairy tales are short stories. If they are too close to reality, there will be no room for imagination."

Misato Katsuragi is indeed simple. The two talked for a long time about the concept of the virtual world. Fumihiko Ikari became dry-mouthed, but Misato Katsuragi kept talking tirelessly. In the end, Fumihiko Ikari just became a listener.

Soon it was time for lunch break.

After lunch, Fumihiko Ikari said something to Misato Katsuragi.

"Go back to your room later, I'll go down and talk to him."

"I don't have much experience in this area, but... you will be exposed like this, right?"

When she said this, Misato Katsuragi's face turned slightly red. After hesitating for a moment, she still gritted her teeth and said another sentence.

"How about I leave a hickey on your neck? Uh, not a real kiss, but just draw one with lipstick."

"It's okay, I just need to take a shower and change my clothes."

"Can you fool people with something so simple?"

Ikari Fumihiko hesitated for a moment, but still opened his mouth to explain.

"It's okay, I brought my own props."

"Then please."

"Ah."

She returned to her room alone, took a shower and changed into loose and casual clothes, revealing the strawberry mark on her collarbone, which was planted by Ibuki Huimi last night.

Misato Katsuragi was a little curious.

"Why is there a purple spot on your neck?"

Ikari Fumihiko did not explain and directly changed the subject.

"You'd better change your clothes from inside to outside, so that the flaws will be smaller."

"But I didn't bring any change of clothes."

"It's okay. I'll have someone send it to you later."

"Ah."

After sending Katsuragi Misato back to her room, Ikari Fumihiko got up and walked downstairs. When he arrived at the hall, he first saw Akagi Ritsuko sitting on the sofa flipping through an English book, while Kaji Ryosuke was sitting silently in the hall, apparently watching TV. As soon as he came downstairs, he attracted the attention of the two.

He called the waiter over and gave him some instructions.

"Send a set of clothes to Misato."

"Yes."

Ritsuko Akagi looked at the purple marks on Fumihiko Ikari's neck and seemed to want to say something but stopped herself, which made him a little surprised.

Misato Katsuragi, who was wearing sexy clothes, didn't understand any of this, but Ritsuko Akagi, who was usually devoted to her studies, actually knew what this mark was.

No... these two people were switched, right?

Ryosuke Kaji hesitated for a moment, but still came forward and asked almost subconsciously.

"Where's Katsuragi?"

"I'm tired and sleeping in my room. What's up? Junior Jiazhi, what do you want from my girlfriend?"

"Uh... no."

Just as Fumihiko Ikari was about to say something, Ritsuko Akagi spoke at this moment.

"Come here with me."

"Ah."

The two of them walked outside the hotel to avoid Ryosuke Kaji.

"You wouldn't take advantage of someone's misfortune and threaten Misato to do something like that, would you?"

From the look on Ritsuko Akagi's face just now, Fumihiko Ikari realized what she wanted to ask. Perhaps it was because he had developed a habit of teasing her all the time. When he was alone with Ritsuko Akagi, he always couldn't help but want to tease her a few words to make her cold face break down. However, when the words came to his lips, he finally swallowed them back into his stomach.

"No, who do you think I am? You're blackmailing me. This is what Huimei left last night."

Uh……

The last supplement seems a bit redundant.

"It's better not to,"

"Please! Where is the trust between people? It's not the best, it's really non-existent. Didn't you notice that I can walk without any hesitation? If that kind of development really happened, I would just lie down in my room and rest."

Looking at Akagi Ritsuko's slightly red face, Ikari Fumihiko immediately realized that he had said unnecessary words again.

He immediately changed the subject.

"What has the Jiaji done during this time?"

"No, although he won't give up, he looked very anxious this morning and kept wandering around. After lunch, he seemed to have accepted his fate and sat in the living room watching TV. The plan must have succeeded. He probably won't continue to pester Misato. Even if he still wants to, he won't pester her like he did in the past."

"To be on the safe side, I'll go talk to him alone."

"okay."

The two returned to the living room.

Fumihiko Ikari came to Ryosuke Kaji.

"You're free anyway, why don't you go watch a movie with me!?"

Naturally, Ryosuke Kaji would not refuse.

"it is good."

He contacted Ritsuko Akagi in order to obtain information about Fumihiko Ikari, and now that he has the opportunity to contact him in person, he naturally would not miss it.

The two came to the cinema and Fumihiko Ikari selected a movie.

He didn't speak until halfway through the movie.

"By the way, I just heard from Misato that there is a mysterious department in the United Nations that recruits many university tutors?"

"Well, there is such a thing."

17:20:44

324. Fate is like this

"What do you know about this department?"

Kaji Ryosuke shook his head.

"I don't know, I just heard that there is such a department."

He wasn't lying, he really didn't understand.

"Oh."

Ikari Fumihiko didn't really want an answer, he was just hinting.

Kaji Ryosuke asked tentatively.

"How come you also received an invitation?"

"I don't know. I've been too busy with research lately. If Misato hadn't mentioned it, I wouldn't have known that such a department existed."

"You have developed a groundbreaking technology like the Neural Connection Device. You must be researching something really amazing, right?"

Fumihiko Ikari knew very well that if he told the truth at this moment, Ryosuke Kaji would definitely not see the sun tomorrow, and even Misato Katsuragi would be implicated.
