I participated in the development of EVA

"Uh……"

Seeing Ikari Fumihiko's embarrassment, Akagi Ritsuko reacted.

"So, the blame for the artificial god project being passed is ultimately yours."

"Uh, don't be so serious. I am also a victim in this matter!"

Akagi Ritsuko hesitated.

Since the words "Humanity has no choice" came from Fumihiko Ikari's mouth, and he was able to have such a thorough understanding of the crisis of the apostle invasion, would Fumihiko Ikari really not prepare anything! ?

“Is this really a misunderstanding?”

Fumihiko Ikari was helpless. He tried to complain, but as he was complaining, he was misunderstood.

“That’s a real misunderstanding.”

She believed it was a misunderstanding, but began to suspect that Fumihiko Ikari had other plans.

"Then what have you prepared?"

"No."

18:07:50

455. Trust

"If you don't want to say it, forget it."

Ritsuko Akagi obviously didn't believe it.

Ikari Fumihiko sighed and did not argue.

The world's misunderstanding of me is so deep that it has reached the point where nothing can clear it up.

"It's almost time, I'll go back and clean up."

"Intern, it's not time to get off work yet, you are skipping work."

Ikari Fumihiko responded with a middle finger.

Ritsuko Akagi didn't even turn her head, she just raised her right hand and raised her middle finger casually.

Fumihiko Ikari was stunned for a moment. He never expected Ritsuko Akagi to do such a thing.

"I'll wait for you here, or I'll go back and wait for you."

Ritsuko Akagi paused for a moment before speaking.

"Here."

"Then hurry up."

Ritsuko Akagi made an OK gesture.

Ikari Fumihiko withdrew his gaze and came to the huge hole in front of the platform. Looking down, the hole was nearly ten meters deep.

The metal frame is full of busy people and various mechanical equipment. Compared with EVA, the proportion of biotechnology in the Three Sages System is much smaller.

In addition to the members of the Three Sages project team, the on-site staff also include some non-staff investigators.

Just like what he said before, it's not that he didn't want to inspect, but the official structure of the Three Sages System was too complicated, with too many components to inspect it all. Of course, the most important thing is... Thousands of cameras have been deployed here in advance, and the entire process is supervised by the 02 Three Sages prototype. In addition, there are also professional inspection technicians.

There was only one thing he had to do.

When an accident occurs, we will step in to resolve it, just like when EVA was building the project.

This huge project, which involved thousands of technicians, seemed shocking at first glance, but for him, who had participated in the manufacture of two EVAs, it was not a big deal.

At least the Three Sages System doesn't look as impressive as the gigantic EVA.

I sat back on the sofa and no accidents happened for a long time.

In fact, this is normal. After all, the most basic employees here are graduate students from top international universities. Well, there is only one exception, an intern who got in through the back door.

"How about it?"

Ritsuko Akagi changed into a slightly cool summer outfit, wore not-so-high high heels, and put on delicate makeup.

The whole person looked less capable than in daily life and more feminine. They looked like two completely different people. The first time he saw Ritsuko Akagi dressed up carefully, Fumihiko Ikari was a little doubtful whether Ritsuko had gone to school or just learned makeup for several years.

"You're lowering the average educational level here."

Ritsuko Akagi obviously did not expect Fumihiko Ikari to say this. She was stunned for a moment and then angrily responded.

“I graduated from graduate school!”

"Huh? Really? Why did I remember that you just graduated from college?"

"Your brain is rusty."

After a pause, Ritsuko Akagi added.

"Oh, yes! There are indeed people here who lower the average educational level."

Ikari Fumihiko had a bad feeling.

Before he could change the subject, Ritsuko Akagi spoke up.

"You've lowered the average level of senior management in the R&D department."

"Uh……"

Fumihiko Ikari was speechless as all the senior executives in the R&D department were professors.

If it were before he traveled through time, he would have been speechless at this moment, not knowing how to refute. But now, he was stunned for a moment before he reacted.

"Professor is not a degree, it is a job title, and a PhD is the highest degree."

"Ah……"

Ritsuko Akagi snorted coldly.

"Tough talk."

Although professor and academician are not academic degrees, they are a high honor.

Fumihiko Ikari himself does not have any honors to show off. Apart from the title of Director of the NERV R&D Department, his greatest honorary title is Genius Doctor.

How could he admit defeat? He immediately retorted.

"I am just carrying the burden for all mankind. Otherwise, with the research results I have achieved, an award that surpasses the Nobel Prize could be established in my name in a minute."

Ritsuko Akagi admitted that what Fumihiko Ikari said was true, but she knew better that if she really admitted defeat, Fumihiko Ikari would definitely stomp on her face and complain.

"Ha ha……"

A 'haha' is worth a thousand words.

"Little girl is superficial. Only those who stand in the light are heroes."

"Ha ha……"

Still, a 'haha' speaks louder than anything else.

Ikari Fumihiko was helpless. How did this little girl suddenly become so powerful? In the past, she could be rebuked with just a few words!

"During the years you were in college, you took the elective course "The Study of Yin and Yang", right?"

“I learned all this from you.”

"Uh……"

This time, Fumihiko Ikari was really defeated and choked.

Akagi Ritsuko chuckled smugly.

"Aren't you going to get ready?"

Ikari Fumihiko replied unhappily.

"Let's talk about it when we get back. I won't be like someone who leaves his post during working hours."

"Ah."

Ritsuko Akagi chuckled and didn't respond.

I stayed at the scene for a while and only got up and prepared to go back to the dormitory when it was almost time for dinner.

"It's not time to get off work yet."

Fumihiko Ikari gave Ritsuko Akagi a cold look and said, "It turns out you didn't say anything just now because you were waiting here!"

Ritsuko Akagi quickened her pace to catch up.

"Are you leaving like this without notifying the on-site assistant?"

Fumihiko Ikari was too lazy to reply to Ritsuko Akagi.

The three assistants assigned by NERV to him were not just pretty faces, each of them had strong abilities to handle things. He didn't need to tell them anything about this little thing, if they really encountered any unsolvable problems later, they would contact him or Akagi Naoko depending on the situation.

"Really? So petty? You made me so angry before, but I didn't say anything at that time."

Ikari Fumihiko replied with a helpless look.

"I'm not that petty, it's just that your question is too low-level. I'm too lazy to answer you. They are not just pretty girls. I don't need to give any special instructions for such a small matter."

"It's really tiring to be a subordinate."

"Fuss."

"You are obviously lazy. Mother always explains everything in detail and does almost everything herself."

Having worked together for such a long time, Ikari Fumihiko was of course aware of Naoko Akagi's rigorous and overly serious work style. "That's because your mother treats all her subordinates as apes whose brains haven't fully developed yet. She doesn't trust their ability to do things, so she does that. I'm different. I believe in the ability of each of my subordinates to do things, so I will naturally delegate power to them."

"I think it's better for mothers to do that. It's less likely to cause problems. You're too lazy."

Fumihiko Ikari didn't actually lie.

He truly believed in the capabilities of the research institutes under him. After all, these people were different from him. They were all scholars with real talents and knowledge.

"Your mother is only suitable for project development, but she is only suitable for managing one project. I want to manage the entire research institute. If I learn from your mother, I will contribute to the sudden death rate in this world within a month, just like my previous team leader who died before he could accomplish his mission."

18:08:02

456. I always want to stop updating at the beginning of the month.

Ritsuko Akagi thought about it and realized that it was true.

NERV is a global organization. If Fumihiko Ikari, as the director of the R&D department, does everything himself, he will soon make an outstanding contribution to the world's sudden death rate.

"Well, you have a point."

Fumihiko Ikari and Ritsuko Akagi started chatting.

"When are you going to become a regular employee?"

"It doesn't matter whether you transfer or not, right?"

"You're stupid! The salary of an intern and a regular employee is definitely different. Once the rules and regulations are clarified, Nerv will definitely make up the current salary. The sooner you become a regular employee, the sooner you can get the salary of a regular employee. In the future, when you really need to buy a house or a car, you can also bear less loans."

Ritsuko Akagi was speechless.

"Is it really okay for you to think about this all day long?"

"Why not think about this? We workers can't just not fight for our own rights and sympathize with the capitalists, right?!"

"Didn't you say before that we gathered here to save the world and protect human civilization!?"

"I'm sorry, I shouldn't have joked about your physical development."

"what?"

Even though they have been together for a long time, at this moment Ritsuko Akagi still can't keep up with Fumihiko Ikari's train of thought.

"If it weren't for this, you wouldn't be allocating too much nutrition to your breasts now."

Ritsuko Akagi realized that this was saying that she was stupid, but instead of getting angry, she laughed and even puffed out her chest, causing ripples of emotion.

Ikari Fumihiko took a glance, then looked away, holding his forehead helplessly.

He could understand Ritsuko Akagi's current state. She did have a sense of mission when she was first given the mission, but no matter how lofty the mission was, it had a time limit. Most people could not always break away from reality and focus on lofty ideals. When ordinary people joined NERV and learned about the future destiny of mankind, their minds would definitely be full of how to save the world. After a long time, they would refocus on the trivialities of life.

After feeling pleased with herself, Ritsuko Akagi actually didn't quite understand why Fumihiko Ikari said that she had no brains.
