I participated in the development of EVA

"How do you answer?"

"No answer, just restore the network. Unless the experiment needs to continue, then reply with 'uncertain'."

After a pause, Naoko Akagi seemed to react.

"Doesn't she usually ask you for this kind of thing? Has she already discovered it..."

The more he spoke, the more anxious his voice became.

Fumihiko Ikari was helpless.

Ritsuko Akagi is not a fool. You showed it so obviously the last time you went out, how could she not see it? Only you didn't realize it.

Of course, I can only keep these words to myself.

He shook his head.

He pretended to be ignorant and said something to comfort her even though he knew the truth.

"It's probably because she was rejected last time she asked me for help. Now she's probably angry."

Akagi Naoko replied in a low voice to herself.

"It would be better if I didn't..."

Fumihiko Ikari thought about it and finally made accurate mental preparations for Naoko Akagi.

Although this matter is difficult to face, he is not prepared to engage in an underground love affair, or act crazy and stupid to take advantage without taking responsibility.

"Actually, even if she knew, it wouldn't matter..."

Before he could finish his next words, he was interrupted anxiously by Akagi Naoko.

"No...well, I mean...I'm not mentally prepared yet."

"If we don't take that step, things like this will only drag on for longer..."

"Just give me some time to prepare myself mentally. Don't be so impatient."

Ikari Fumihiko sighed. Although he had no experience, he knew that this kind of thing could only be done gradually over and over again, and not pushed too hard at once.

"……All right."

He was about to delete the text, but found that the message had already been sent.

"Uh, the message was accidentally sent just now."

Naoko Akagi panicked immediately, "She will definitely realize that something is wrong..."

Ikari Fumihiko was also panicked for a moment, but he calmed down after coming to his senses. It was too late to retreat now.

"fine……"

I'll panic with you.

20:04:41

597. This is the powerful adaptability of human beings

"Now...how should we deal with this?"

"fine……"

Halfway through his speech, Fumihiko Ikari realized that now was not the time to say everything was fine.

Give advice.

Ok……

I don’t have this kind of experience!

"Nothing. If she asks or sends you a message again, just pretend to be confused and ask back: 'What's wrong?' Try to be as calm as possible."

"Is this okay?"

"She didn't have any clear evidence. She was just guessing at best. Besides, this is just a very common message. If you want to give a reason, you can lead her in the direction of the experiment's phased success. Let her think that you only replied to the message because you were happy at the time."

After hearing this, Naoko Akagi was still panicked, but her emotions calmed down a little.

Ikari Fumihiko added another sentence.

"I'll go restore the network first, and I'll rest with you later."

This rest is naturally not a proper rest.

There was no way. There was almost nothing on the project team's side. Apart from doing it, he really couldn't think of anything else that could allow the two of them to interact.

As for the body?

He is already studying whether soaking LCL in wolfberry can enhance recovery effects.

Well, let me check the relevant information later.

Uh……

Well, he just couldn't find another way to spend more time with Naoko Akagi, so he was ready to sacrifice his body to buy time for himself and find other ways to spend time with her. In short, he was worried that if he didn't do something, Naoko Akagi would realize that he didn't love her.

Naoko Akagi was unable to escape the news her daughter had just received, so she began to waver in her heart, not knowing whether she should let this feeling continue.

There was no need for a control room to restore the network, so Fumihiko Ikari took out his cell phone.

He directly sent a command to the Three Sages System to restore the network, and at the same time carried Naoko Akagi back to the lounge.

Seeing this scene through the surveillance video, the corners of Zhao Shuo's mouth twitched, and he was a little worried that Ikari Fumihiko would die of exhaustion if he continued like this.

This time, it was Fumihiko Ikari who took the initiative throughout the whole process at the beginning, while Naoko Akagi was half-hearted and a little awkward, but... later on, the rhythm returned to the situation of endless demands. Although Fumihiko Ikari did not know Naoko Akagi's specific thoughts, he could guess some of it. Naoko Akagi was using this to avoid reality.

He had another experiment the next day, so this state wouldn't last long, so he wasn't afraid...

however.

Another seven days of excessive indulgence.

He was in pain and happy at the same time. What hurt him was not his drained body and mind, but that he was too depraved. What made him happy was not the interaction, but that the depravity made him forget all the annoying things in reality. It was for this reason that he would cooperate with Naoko Akagi to degenerate together. This was exactly in line with the saying that it takes two to tango.

Whether it was last time or this time...

This is not a problem of one person, but a problem of two people.

Uh……

His body really couldn't take it anymore, so he found an excuse and prepared to recover.

"…Are you not going to conduct any force field tests?"

Naoko Akagi was stunned for a moment, then hugged Fumihiko Ikari.

"I want……"

Fumihiko Ikari's body responded instinctively, but halfway through he realized that Naoko Akagi was a little abnormal.

The anomaly was not endless, but Naoko Akagi seemed to have lost interest in the experiment.

This must be... an illusion! ?

Right now, Naoko is just avoiding the issue of how to face Ritsuko.

Taking advantage of the break, Ikari Fumihiko asked tentatively.

"Naoko, to what extent do you think the current backup machine force field has been improved?"

Naoko Akagi didn't reply and seemed to be asleep.

"..."

Was she also too exhausted? That's why she fell asleep so quickly?

As soon as this thought popped up in Fumihiko Ikari's mind, it was rejected. Compared to this, he felt that Akagi Naoko was most likely pretending to sleep. Faced with this situation, he could only bury his doubts in his heart temporarily and got out of bed. His overly weak and overdrawn body made Fumihiko Ikari feel uncomfortable and he even walked unsteadily.

He gritted his teeth and lay down in the rest cabin, using LCL to speed up his recovery.

When I woke up again...

Then he found that Naoko Akagi was also in the rest cabin.

Maybe it's because they used the rest cabin too many times, their bodies gradually adapted to liquid breathing, and there would be no problem even if they didn't use rest suits during daily rest.

He did not get up from the rest cabin, but replaced the LCL fluid.

The process of LCL fading away and then replenishing woke Naoko Akagi up. She opened her hazy eyes and then moved closer to Fumihiko Ikari's arms.

Ikari Fumihiko stopped talking quickly.

"…Let me recover for a while."

Only then did Akagi Naoko stop her subsequent actions and responded lazily.

"Ah."

The lcl liquid wrapped the two people's bodies again.

Under the effect of the potion, the two people who had just woken up fell into a deep sleep again.

When he opened his eyes again, he found that Akagi Naoko was gone. He panicked for a moment, worried that Akagi Naoko had gone to seek death again. However, his brain calmed down the next moment. If Akagi Naoko had gone to seek death, he would not have woken up naturally, but was forcibly awakened from his rest by Zhao Shuo and others.

As soon as I got up and left the rest cabin, I saw Naoko Akagi sitting in front of the computer desk with nothing on.

If it were in the past, Ikari Fumihiko would definitely not be able to control himself, but now he is very calm and there are not too many waves.

Such is the adaptability of human beings.

He was also naked. He walked up and stood behind her. He was afraid of another accidental discharge of the gun so he didn't dare to do anything too ambiguous.

"looking at what?"

"I was just a little bored and took a look."

Now Naoko Akagi seems to have recovered from her previous loss of control.

Ikari Fumihiko glanced at it.

Naoko Akagi was reading a paper he had written before on the at force field.

He put a white coat on Naoko Akagi.

"Put on something so you don't catch a cold..."

"Ah."

"Just watch first, I'm going to take a shower."

"Ah."

After taking a shower, Fumihiko Ikari returned to the living room. Naoko Akagi was still looking at the paper seriously.

He sat down and took out his mobile phone to search for some research related to LCL.

The current situation is completely different from the original. He did not make various restrictions like Seele did and block human technology. He only restricted the research on quantum computers and immortality surgery for his own safety, and also allowed all internal scholars of NERV to participate in the research related to the Apostles. Therefore, after two years of development, the relevant research results are so many that he is shocked.

What shocked him most was the latest research direction related to LCL.

The relationship between humans and lcl fluids.

20:04:51

598. Is driving EVA no longer enough for you?

“I just found these.”

Naoko Akagi stood behind Fumihiko Ikari at some point, her plump and round breasts almost pressing down on him.

Ikari Fumihiko just replied casually.

"Want to see it together?"

Unexpectedly, Naoko Akagi actually responded.

"Ah."

"Then use the computer to read it."

Fumihiko Ikari came and sat down in front of the computer. He thought Naoko Akagi would move a stool over, but he didn't expect her to sit directly in his arms.

Now he understood.
