I participated in the development of EVA

"Can you not leave..."

Separation is the correct choice, but correct is not necessarily right.

"That's it... I approached you in the first place because I wanted to save my life and my grandfather's life. Now that my goal has been achieved, I have no reason to stay with you anymore."

"..."

Ikari Fumihiko knew that this was a lie, but he also felt that Ibuki Megumi didn't want to make the separation too sad.

For a moment he didn't know what to say.

There was another luxury car parked on the side of the road, and through the window a familiar yet somewhat unfamiliar figure could be seen.

It was Professor Yamaki, whom I had not seen for a long time.

Compared to the past, he now has some of the decadence that is only found in old age.

Ibuki Huimi walked over and got into the car.

It was just like watching the plane soar into the sky and disappear into the blue sky.

The car merged into the lane, speeding up, and soon disappeared at the end of the road, heading to an unknown place.

"Minister, we should go back."

"..."

Ikari Fumihiko didn't say anything, he just silently withdrew his gaze and got into the car.

Rei Ayanami's expression was less expressive and her emotions were relatively weak, but she was not heartless. She handed over the half-drunk Coke in her hand.

Although Fumihiko Ikari was moved, he didn't want to show his weak side and let Rei Ayanami worry about him.

"You're already halfway through this, can't you just get a new bottle?"

“This is the last bottle.”

"Well, I accept your sincerity."

Under Rei Ayanami's reluctant gaze, Fumihiko Ikari pretended to take a sip.

"No way! You actually drank it all before giving it to me?"

“There’s still half left!”

"See for yourself."

Rei Ayanami took the Coke and felt the size.

“There’s still half left.”

"But when I drank it just now, there was none at all."

Ayanami Rei took a sip in confusion.

“There are some left.”

Fumihiko Ikari repeated the same trick twice, and the remaining Coke finally went into Rei Ayanami's stomach.

444. No Bedwetting (Part )

"This time, it's really gone..."

Looking at the dazed Rei Ayanami, Fumihiko Ikari couldn't help but laugh, and the feelings in his heart were diluted a lot.

Before I knew it, the sky had just begun to brighten, and now when I returned, it was gradually getting dark.

The car drove quickly on the cement road and soon returned to the institute.

When we returned to the dormitory, there were two fewer people as they went out, which made the originally crowded space become empty.

When I entered the master bedroom, I found that there was no trace of Ibuki Megumi's life there, and everything related to Ibuki Megumi had disappeared.

If it weren't for the familiar smell lingering in the air, it would be as if Ibuki Huimi had never appeared in his life.

Just when I was feeling empty and sad, Rei Ayanami walked in holding a quilt.

"Will you stay?"

Fumiyan Ikari couldn't help but smile.

"You can move in and sleep here, but I've made it clear in advance that you are not allowed to wet the bed."

Ayanami Rei did not feel shy or angry about this, but responded calmly.

"Ah."

Normally, Rei Ayanami bathed with Ibuki Huimi, but now it was Fumihiko Ikari who bathed with Rei Ayanami. Fumihiko Ikari had already gone through the personal tests of near-maturity in the incubator, and he had no psychological barriers or special feelings about it, but he still decided to teach Rei Ayanami how to bathe alone.

It's okay now since Rei Ayanami is only in her teens, but as her body starts to develop slowly, it would be somewhat inappropriate for them to take a bath together.

They were supposed to watch TV together after taking a bath, but he was not in the mood for that now.

After thinking for a while, he took out the game console that he hadn't touched for a long time, and played a somewhat boring game with Rei Ayanami's company.

When it was time for dinner, Saori Hashimoto called.

"Minister, are you going to eat at home or come to the cafeteria for dinner?"

Although the game was boring, Fumihiko Ikari didn't want to move at this moment.

"Let's eat at home."

"Should I go over and make it for you, or should we eat the food here in the cafeteria?"

Ikari Fumihiko didn't care.

"You don't need to ask me about these things from now on. Just follow the arrangements."

"Yes."

Not long after, Saori Hashimoto came to the dormitory with a basket of vegetables and started preparing dinner for Fumihiko Ikari and Rei Ayanami in the kitchen.

"We have already done."

"Ah."

The two came to the dining table.

Just by looking at it, you can tell that Saori Hashimoto has received professional cooking training. After taking a bite, the taste is only slightly worse than those made by the chefs in the cafeteria, and better than what Ibuki Megumi usually cooks.

After eating a little, I lost my appetite due to my mood.

After putting down his chopsticks, he looked at Saori Hashimoto who was waiting on the side, and remembered that her sister was still unconscious.

"By the way, has your sister started treatment?"

Previously, he had never known how to deal with this matter to avoid misunderstanding, so he had been waiting for the other party to speak and then go with the flow. However, he did not expect that Saori Hashimoto still hadn't mentioned it for so long. If this incident had not happened today, he would have wanted to find something to distract his attention and would definitely not have mentioned it on his own initiative.

Saori Hashimoto's body stiffened slightly.

Noticing this, Fumihiko Ikari knew that the other party must have thought that he was hinting for her to stay with him in bed.

However, Fumihiko Ikari really didn't mean that.

He sighed inwardly, it was because of this worry that he had never mentioned this matter.

“I haven’t got a number yet.”

"Go see Dr. Ito tomorrow and ask her to help arrange it."

Saori Hashimoto responded somewhat stiffly.

"Ah."

There was no thanks, no gratitude, and it was obvious that this was treated as a transaction.

He helped to rescue her sister, and she stayed with Fumihiko Ikari as his lover from then on.

Ikari Fumihiko knew that the other party would have such thoughts, most likely because he had received hints from the American consul, or because he felt that he had nothing else to use as a bargaining chip except his beauty.

"Okay, clean up the dishes and go back to rest."

Saori Hashimoto was stunned again.

He was obviously surprised that Ikari Fumihiko would let him go back, but he immediately reacted.

Although Ibuki Emi is gone, Ayanami Rei is still here.

This is to wait until the two of them are alone before taking action.

Thinking she had guessed what Fumihiko Ikari was thinking, she cleaned up the dishes and returned to her dormitory.

She went to the bedroom and took a look.

Lying on the bed was a woman who looked similar to her, whose figure was out of shape due to lack of exercise, and who was unconscious. This person was her sister.

Yukino Hashimoto.

Unlike her, who has some European ancestry and you can tell she is mixed-race just by looking at her, Yukino Hashimoto looks more like an Asian and doesn't look like a mixed-race at all.

"Yukino, that adult has already promised me that he will arrange the best treatment for you, and you will wake up soon."

She sat on the edge of the bed and talked incessantly.

"The outside world has also recovered from the shock. When you wake up, you can continue to pursue your dream and become a world-renowned pianist. The whole world will be intoxicated by your piano playing and cheer for you. After that, you will meet a handsome prince, walk into the wedding hall under the attention of the whole world, and live a happy life."

As she spoke, the icy aura on her body melted away, and an intoxicating smile unconsciously blossomed on her face.

But this beautiful smile did not last long and disappeared.

She looked around in panic. This was just a single dormitory with limited space. If Ikari Fumihiko came to collect her sincerity while Rei Ayanami was asleep, there would be no place for her sister. Even if her sister was unconscious, she didn't want her sister to be contaminated by the world. It was enough for her to live in the dark alone. At the same time, she was also worried that Ikari Fumihiko would attack her unconscious sister.

She did not dare to disobey Fumihiko Ikari's wishes and sent her sister to the Hyacinth Project for treatment in advance.

The room is so small that there is only space for two adults.

There is also a bathroom and a wardrobe.

The bathroom is definitely not suitable, so the only option is the wardrobe.

I made the bedding for my sister in the closet and put her in there. I also prepared some noise-canceling headphones so that I could have my sister wear them if Fumihiko Ikari really came over for a night raid tonight.

"One night, as long as we get through this night, everything will slowly get better."

She repeated this sentence for a long time.

Then I realized that I should have prepared in advance.

She washed her body carefully, more carefully and thoroughly than ever before. This was her only bargaining chip and the only valuable thing.

After making sure that there was nothing missing, she changed into her best clothes and tried to make herself look more beautiful.

Then he lay on the bed like a corpse, quietly waiting in front of his phone, giving his body away as a gift.

Her beauty had gotten her into her current situation, but it was also what had kept her alive with her comatose sister during the chaotic post-Second Impact period.

18:02:08

445. Is this too selfish?

Her beauty saved her life, but she still had to go through that dark and turbulent period.

Saori Hashimoto's most profound impression of that period was that people became less human, as if hell had shone into the world.

The world...

It turns out to be so dirty.

Until now, she still can't forget those hunting entertainments where humans were treated as livestock.

Whether adults, children or the elderly are there, they are just consumables for people's entertainment.

I don’t know when, I fell asleep, and in a trance, I heard the cell phone ringing.

I was shocked and picked it up to take a look in panic.

It wasn't someone calling, it was the alarm going off.

not coming?

She was in a trance for a moment.
