I participated in the development of EVA

In fact, with Naoko Akagi's status, she could have received the same treatment, but she disliked this way of dining as it wasted time and did not adopt it.

Fumihiko Ikari, however, enjoyed this treatment which he had never had in his previous life.

While he was eating his breakfast leisurely, the mother and daughter had already finished their breakfast quickly and got up to leave.

Naoko Akagi glanced at her daughter imperceptibly, then left without saying anything.

In the past, Akagi Ritsuko would definitely not notice her mother's subtle and easily overlooked behavior. Now, she not only noticed it, but also understood what her mother was thinking: Why are you eating so fast? Why don't you seize the opportunity to spend more time together!? She suppressed the bitterness in her heart and followed her mother's pace.

stay?

Stay to explore the answer to that philosophical question?

Now when she saw Ikari Fumihiko, there were only two things she could think of.

One is Ikari Fumihiko's boldness and determination to resolve world crises as one of his life goals, and the other is the philosophical questions that linger in his mind.

After seeing Akagi mother and daughter leave, Ikari Fumihiko secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

If Ritsuko Akagi really stayed, all he could do was discuss philosophy with her to kill the budding goodwill. To be honest, he really didn't want to discuss this topic a second time. After all, he was not a pervert or a creepy old man. He would be so excited that he could hardly control himself when talking about this topic.

After the Akagi mother and daughter left, Akagi Naoko did not chat with her daughter along the way and seemed very indifferent, but in fact she felt that her daughter was shy for not staying.

If it weren't for Ikari Fumihiko's help in clearing up the misunderstanding, Akagi Ritsuko would have definitely regarded this as her mother's indifference to her. After she had a better understanding of her mother, the pain that had been accumulating in her heart disappeared, and she felt as relaxed and happy as if she had untied a heavy shackle, of course, the premise was that she had not met Ikari Fumihiko.

Her inner thoughts can be summed up in one sentence. She hates philosophy.

After that, Naoko Akagi said nothing, nor did she help her daughter again. She just immersed herself in scientific research. It was not that she didn't want to, but that she didn't understand.

Ritsuko Akagi stayed with her mother for the whole morning, but still had to bite the bullet and go to the supercomputing center in the afternoon.

There was no other way. Her current job was to be Ikari Fumihiko's assistant. Thinking of this, she wished she could travel back to a day ago and give herself a few slaps when she volunteered to her mother. Well, she should have been slapped so hard that she would have a concussion. Why was she so young and so lustful? Wasn't it better for her to stay with her mother and learn knowledge? Why did she have to discuss some bullshit philosophy?

When she arrived at the supercomputing center, she did not go to see Fumihiko Ikari, but quietly inspected the project.

She muddled along like this for nearly two weeks, and her legs became visibly stronger.

Only after the dismantling of the machine on his mother's side was completed and the final assembly stage had begun on this side did he have to appear in front of Fumihiko Ikari.

Looking at Fumihiko Ikari who was chatting with his mother.

She wanted to rush over to interrupt the two and warn her mother that Ikari Fumihiko was an evil philosopher, but she couldn't say such words to anyone else, let alone to her mother. In addition, she thought of her mother's current situation. With her mother's character, if her heart was not filled, she would easily become a tool for others to steal the Three Sages System, and she would even lose her life.

Although these remarks came from Fumihiko Ikari's mouth, she knew that he was not just being mysterious.

perhaps……

As long as I don't be deceived by Fumihiko Ikari and make that philosophical question invalid, my mother won't be troubled by this philosophical question like me.

wrong!

What if he succeeds and uses his mother to force me to submit?

"You don't want to lose your mother's care, do you?"

And if he really walked with his mother, he would call him father...

She felt so tired. What sin had she committed to end up in such a twisted situation?

Both Ikari Fumihiko and the other person were not paying attention to Akagi Ritsuko, who was having a lot of inner drama nearby.

"How are the preparations at the mass production factory going?"

This part is almost completed and everything is going smoothly. According to the monitoring of the three sages, there are no deteriorations in the assembly work. Fumihiko Ikari then asked about the mass production of the prototype.

"I didn't pay attention to the specific situation over there."

Like Akagi Naoko and Ikari Fumihiko, both focused their attention on the official machine of the Three Wise Men.

Ikari Fumihiko's Chinese assistant spoke up.

"Everything is ready at the mass production factory. As long as this is successfully started, the 02 prototype can be put into mass production."

Ikari Fumihiko nodded.

There are only two days and three sages in the world now. 01 has been disassembled and assembled into a formal machine, and the construction of the formal machine can be controlled by 02.

After the official machine is completed, the 02 prototype can be used as the mother body and put into the subsequent mass production of the Three Sages.

He glanced at the scattered crowd around. These people were holding video recorders, filming everywhere and recording the details of the situation here. These were not the media that wanted to report, nor were they spies who wanted to steal information. Instead, they were various forces within NERV who were attracted by the final assembly work of the official machine. Basically, all the forces that were capable of knowing the intelligence of the official machine had sent representatives to check the situation.

18:09:49

463. Wage Recovery Program

It took about two hours to complete the final assembly.

The white assistant came over.

"Minister, the official machine has been assembled and can now begin the first start-up test."

Fumihiko Ikari glanced at the three main control brains exposed. Although they were now assembled, they had not been packaged for easy adjustment.

"Then let's get started."

"Yes."

Thousands of people were involved, and a prototype machine was used to monitor the entire process. The official machine started up smoothly, self-checked well, and operated smoothly. Most of the people on the scene cheered for the successful completion of this huge project, and a few people who knew about the Apostle Crisis cheered for the improvement of the overall strength of mankind.

Only Ikari Fumihiko and the Akagi mother and daughter looked calm. Ikari Fumihiko and Akagi Naoko believed in the capabilities of the prototype, while Akagi Ritsuko was so distracted from the beginning that she had no energy to pay attention to the situation here.

With the final packaging completed, the supercomputing center was no longer different from the front-line combat command room in Fumihiko Ikari's memory.

At this moment he felt the urgency of the apostles' attack again for the first time in a long time.

Even in a trance, I even saw on the big screen the image of the third angel surviving the violent explosion of the N2 mine, and the image of Unit- running wild and devouring the Angel of Power.

The completion of the official machine is like a signal.

The renovation project of the entire research institute also began, and everything was moving closer to the original.

Nerv also began to fulfill its original promises one by one.

All the grassroots employees left the artificial light, got rid of the life of the mole who didn't know the change of the sun and the moon, and went to the ground, basking in the sun again after nearly seven years. Just like Ikari Fumihiko and others, some people were so excited that they shed tears. They stayed under the scorching sun despite the high temperature, and the excitement only faded away when some people started to suffer from heat stroke.

In the following month, there was a change almost every day.

After the grassroots employees moved into the spacious and comfortable ground-level employee dormitories, their staffing and benefits began to be implemented. Not only did everyone receive a salary, but Nerv also paid back all their previous salaries.

After receiving this large sum of money, most of the grassroots employees took the compensation and went to the yet-to-be-built Third New Tokyo. It was not that these people did not want to go to the more prosperous Second New Tokyo, but there were too many people and eyes, and for the sake of confidentiality, these grassroots personnel were only allowed to go to the Third New Tokyo, which was under construction.

After receiving a large sum of money, even Fumihiko Ikari couldn't help himself, and followed the crowd with Rei Ayanami to the Third New Tokyo City.

This was his first time to the Third New Tokyo City. He had thought it would be rather desolate and without any supporting facilities. But when he arrived, he was surprised to find that there was a well-developed commercial street. Compared with the Second New Tokyo City, the buildings were a little simpler, but there were all kinds of goods, and some simpler entertainment venues were also available.

At this time, Saori Hashimoto spoke up and Fumihiko Ikari began to explain.

"The higher-ups have been dragging their feet on fulfilling their promises in the past, in order to build these supporting facilities so that these grassroots workers can have a place to spend their money after they receive their due remuneration, and a place to vent their long-suppressed emotions. Otherwise, no matter how good the welfare benefits are, they are just empty talk."

Ikari Fumihiko nodded.

In addition to Hashimoto Saori, the life assistant, a Chinese work assistant also came along and she added a sentence.

"The construction period is too short, so we can only make such a simple arrangement. We will improve it bit by bit later and turn it into a commercial street that is no worse than the First Street of the Second New Tokyo City."

Apart from buses, there are basically no private cars on the streets.

Saori Hashimoto didn't know much about the Third New Tokyo under construction, so her tour guide this time was a Chinese assistant.

“This block is open to the interior only for now.”

After hearing this, Fumihiko Ikari also understood why no security was arranged to accompany him when he went out this time.

Because this street is under nerv surveillance.

Compared to the Second New Tokyo, he felt a different atmosphere here. The Second New Tokyo's commercial street was prosperous everywhere, while the Third New Tokyo's commercial street could only be described as frenetic. This frenzy was not only caused by the thousands of grassroots employees pouring in, but also by the mental outlook of these grassroots employees.

The enthusiastic crowd, waving money, walked into every shop within sight.

Buy everything you need and don't need.

This was an emotion that had been suppressed for nearly seven years, and it broke out when life finally returned to its familiar state, and they began to spend lavishly in retaliation.

It was as if he wanted to make up for what he had lost in the past.

The most popular businesses are small marble shops, real estate sales departments and car dealerships.

The popularity of marbles surprised Fumihiko Ikari. He didn't know why so many people loved to play it. He could actually understand the popularity of real estate and cars. Not to mention the grassroots employees who had lived underground for nearly seven years, even he, who went outside from time to time to get some fresh air, had an urge to escape from the research institute.

wrong!

To be precise, it’s not about escaping, it’s about staying away.

They had grown tired of the air blown by the life-support systems, the corridors that were always lit during the day, and the crowded dormitories that needed lights even during the day.

For them, driving in traffic jams is a journey of spiritual exile.

Normally, whenever a big leader like Ikari Fumihiko appeared in a place, he would immediately attract everyone's attention and become so noisy that one could hear a pin drop. But now, no one noticed his existence at all, and the surroundings were so noisy as if everyone was roaring. Influenced by the surrounding atmosphere, not only Ikari Fumihiko bought a lot of useless things, but also his two assistants.

Only Rei Ayanami was not affected.

She looked around with curiosity and drank bottle of Coke.

and also……

"bathroom."

Even if she has the apostle gene, she will still feel the urge to go to the bathroom if she drinks too much Coke.

Ikari Fumihiko shook his head and said with a wry smile.

"Others go shopping, but when it comes to you, it's like going to the toilet."

After coming back from the bathroom, Ayanami Rei replied expressionlessly.

“There’s also a beverage store.”

"Drink less! Don't really walk all the way down here and visit all the toilets on this street."

Although Rei Ayanami didn't think there was anything wrong with visiting all the toilets on the street, this was Fumihiko Ikari's instruction and she would not resist.

"Ok."

He responded somewhat dejectedly.

Ikari Fumihiko did not show any mercy.

"Please pack this and this for me and send them back to the base."

"Yes."

All the shop owners in this block are members of the logistics department of the NERV organization. As a result, although Fumihiko Ikari and the other two bought a lot of things, they are still empty-handed. Not only them, but all the grassroots members also enjoy this treatment. However, most people will only use this treatment when they can really afford it.

Walking on the street, immersed in the fanatical atmosphere around him, Fumihiko Ikari couldn't help but sigh.

"Is this considered a salary recovery plan for NERV?"

No one answered.

Rei Ayanami didn't understand. Hashimoto Saori and the Chinese assistant didn't dare to express their opinions on such matters. Given their status and position, they needed to be careful with their words and actions. Some of the words that Fumihiko Ikari said casually would change their nature once they came out of their mouths.

18:10:02

464. This is a trust issue, continue to add another chapter

After walking around, except for Rei Ayanami, the other three were still not satisfied and felt like they didn't want to leave.

When playing here, you can put aside the oppression brought by the apostles' attacks, and your tense brain will relax due to the relaxed atmosphere.

This is what they think and do.

Until sunset, the neon lights on the street came on, and a man dressed simply came up to Fumihiko Ikari and his three companions.

"Minister Ikari, it's getting late. For your safety, we should go back now."

Only then did Fumihiko Ikari and others come to their senses.

"What a bummer."

The only person who dared to complain so blatantly was naturally Ikari Fumihiko.

The four returned to the parking lot under the 'protection' of several passers-by dressed as people, got into a luxury car, and left the commercial street.

It was not until this moment that Fumihiko Ikari realized something.
