I participated in the development of EVA

Then I thought of the time difference.

It's noon here, but it's still evening over Asuka's place.

[What time is it over there? Why did you just finish training? ]

【You haven't answered my question yet! 】

After complaining a bit first, Asuka explained the situation.

[It’s 9pm here. The addition of the second-generation aircraft caused the last training to last an hour longer than expected. Please answer me quickly... What is the situation with the second-generation aircraft? ]

Fumihiko Ikari glanced at Naoko Akagi under him.

[Can we talk about it tomorrow? ]

[Isn't it noon at your place? Why do you have to wait until tomorrow? ]

[Well... I haven't slept for more than 20 hours. I'll answer your question after I take a break.]

[Idiot, are you looking for death? ]

【I am your adoptive father.】

[Go to hell - I have never admitted such a thing, just go to hell. ]

【it is good. 】

Fumihiko Ikari put away his phone and said something to Naoko Akagi.

"Okay...we can get started."

"Shall we go somewhere else? It's too easy to be exposed here."

As Akagi Naoko said this, she stood up and walked out. Ikari Fumihiko sighed helplessly.

"Ok."

The two men moved the battlefield to a camp they hadn't been to for a long time.

In order to make their whereabouts look less suspicious, they had no choice but to bring Ayanami Rei, who was watching Animal World, along.

In this way, Rei Ayanami went from watching TV at home to watching TV in the camp.

In addition, after arriving at the camp, Fumihiko Ikari arranged for a camp staff member to go fishing by the lake, so that when Ritsuko Akagi asked about it, Fumihiko Ikari could say that he had been fishing for the whole afternoon.

The two of them tossed about like this from one o'clock in the afternoon until almost dinner time.

After receiving a notification from the intelligence team that Misato Katsuragi and Ritsuko Akagi were returning to the villa, Fumihiko Ikari and Naoko Akagi separated.

Naoko Akagi put on her clothes and returned to the underground base early.

Fumihiko Ikari and Rei Ayanami stayed in the camp.

He couldn't help but complain as they separated.

"This is like a spy meeting."

Naoko Akagi is still the same old thing.

"Wait a little longer. I'll confess to Ritsuko at a suitable time."

Fumihiko Ikari has heard this sentence too many times. He wants to take the initiative to break the deadlock, but he is worried that he is too radical and Naoko Akagi will not be able to bear the stimulation and commit suicide like in the original book.

Without waiting for him to say anything, Akagi Naoko left a message.

"Ritsuko will be back soon, I'm leaving first..."

People fled the room in a hurry.

Fumihiko Ikari sighed, went to the hall, lay on the sofa and watched Animal World with Rei Ayanami.

"You've watched this documentary many times, right?"

"Ah."

"Aren't you tired of it yet?"

"I want to know more about this world. Only when I know enough, I can know what I am protecting."

"Then I'll have someone shoot a movie for you in which Coke is attacked by the apostles. Well, this should be able to further stimulate your potential."

Hearing this, Rei Ayanami was stunned for a moment, then said something in a daze.

"Yes, if I can't stop the apostles, Coke will disappear from this world..."

As she thought about it, her expression became serious.

He paused and spoke again.

"I will definitely protect Coke!"

"Aren't you supposed to protect the world? Do humans and I have become appendages of Coke?"

"Yes, it is to protect Wen Yan and Coke!"

"Aren't humans still just appendages of Coke?!"

Seeing Rei Ayanami's conflicted face, Fumihiko Ikari thought for a long time but couldn't guess what she was worried about.

Just when he was about to ask Rei Ayanami what was bothering her, the door to the hall opened and Ritsuko Akagi walked in wearing fiery high heels, black stockings, shorts and a short shirt. This outfit showed off Ritsuko Akagi's hot body to the fullest, and even he couldn't help but look at her a few more times than usual.

"Where's mother?"

"She felt bored and went back early."

In order to avoid talking too much, Fumihiko Ikari changed the subject.

"Where's Misato?"

"She was tired from shopping and didn't come with us."

Fumihiko Ikari knew that Misato Katsuragi was not tired, but was creating opportunities for Ritsuko Akagi.

20:17:35

642.Traveler Passive

Fumihiko Ikari almost couldn't hold back his expression, but luckily he reacted in time and activated the facial paralysis mode.

What is this all about...

Isn't it obvious that you refuse?

All he felt was a headache.

Akagi Ritsuko is the daughter of Akagi Naoko, he can't make things too extreme, otherwise how can they get along in the future! ?

At this time, he could only hint at it in a tactful way.

"If you want to find Professor Akagi, go back to the project team! She should be over there."

"If you don't go back, the experiment can't continue. Well... For me, it doesn't matter where I stay."

It seems that Akagi Ritsuko didn't hear the subtext of these words, or maybe she didn't think too much about it. Ikari Fumihiko thinks it should be the latter. Akagi Ritsuko treated the polite refusal as a normal conversation.

After all, she had just graduated from school not long ago. Ritsuko Akagi wanted to take the initiative, but she was worried that Fumihiko Ikari would think of her as a loose woman.

She sat on the sofa nearby, watching TV with all her might, and explained again.

"Speaking of which, I haven't been here for a long time. The last time I came here was a few years ago."

Fumihiko Ikari felt helpless.

"Yep."

“At that time, we also camped together to watch the stars.”

"Ah."

Ikari Fumihiko still just responded, but he also thought of some things in the past.

He did have many memories in this camp, but it was a forced choice. Under Seele's control, he had no other choice but to come to this camp to relax. And the choices he was forced to make, he couldn't tell whether he had been looking for an opportunity to kill Seele because of these experiences or the Human Completion Plan.

He felt the former was more likely.

Unfortunately……

Seele, this group of old silver coins, are too cunning. The Three Sages System cannot search for the information of those humans who complete the neighborhood committee members. In this situation, only Nerv's full cooperation can catch the top leaders of Seele. However, Seele has Longinus, a special metal closely related to the apostle technology, in his hands, and Nerv will not give him any information about Seele.

"By the way, I remember someone said that you seem to have a fear of deep space?"

Fear of deep space?

Uh……

Ikari Fumihiko was stunned for a moment before he realized that this was because he had mentioned the Dark Forest Law in order to pretend to be perfect, and he had added a setting for himself that he was afraid to look up at the sky.

This setting had long been forgotten by him, so there was naturally no question of following it.

"It's not a phobia, it's just that due to some things, I don't want to look up at the sky."

"why?"

"because……"

Oops……

The topic was brought up accidentally.

Ikari Fumihiko reacted and stopped talking.

"Why did you stop talking... Is it something confidential?"

"That's it."

Ritsuko Akagi remains enthusiastic.

"I really can't understand why a person could feel scared under such a bright starry sky."

Ikari Fumihiko couldn't help but speak again.

"It is because it is too dazzling that it is frightening."

After hearing this, Ritsuko Akagi reacted.

"Too bright? Are you worried that alien civilizations will suddenly visit Earth? Just like the sudden Second Impact?"

"That's it."

Ritsuko Akagi has a similar personality to Naoko Akagi, or rather, she has been imitating Naoko Akagi and has lost her true self.

I like to discuss some profound topics.

“Is there really an alien civilization in the universe?”

"If not, it will be even more terrifying."

"Even scarier?"

"In the vast universe, only Earth has given birth to civilization. Just thinking about it is chilling."

Ritsuko Akagi nodded, not quite understanding.

"So the existence of humans is an experiment? No, the apostles are also part of the experiment."

"Correct."

"If that's the case, what did the being who created humans and the apostles want to explore by conducting this experiment?"

Hearing this, Fumihiko Ikari thought of the setting of the gods in Marvel.

"The light of wisdom is the nourishment for the birth of gods."

"The earth is the breeding ground for gods?"

"Based on the premise that humans are the only civilization in the universe, the answer should be this."

"What if there are other civilizations?"

"The universe will most likely be a dark forest."

Naoko Akagi really couldn't understand the meaning of the "dark forest" in this sentence.

"Dark Forest?"

"That's a cosmic sociological hypothesis I proposed. You'd better not understand its details."
