I participated in the development of EVA

17:09:03

300. Yesterday my relatives came over so I missed one chapter. I will make up for it now.

The day passed quickly, and early the next morning, Misato Katsuragi and Ritsuko Akagi left the dormitory.

There is no bus directly to the Institute of Artificial Evolution from the Second New Tokyo, but the institute has a purchasing department in the Second New Tokyo, and Ritsuko Akagi always takes a special car here when she goes out and comes back.

After getting off the bus and arriving in front of the purchasing department building, Misato Katsuragi's eyes widened immediately.

"Is this really just a purchasing department? It's too big!"

Ritsuko Akagi only told Misato Katsuragi that she and her mother lived in a dormitory of a research institute, and did not give much information about the research institute.

"Ah."

"Are you sure your mother works in a private research institute, not a scientific research center, given this scale?"

"It says Research Institute in the name."

As they talked, they came to the gate.

Ritsuko Akagi swiped her card to pass through the access control system, and turned around to swipe the card for Misato Katsuragi as well, but was stopped by the guard.

"One card per person, no one else can swipe it on your behalf."

Seeing this situation, Misato Katsuragi became nervous.

Ritsuko Akagi was only slightly embarrassed, then she came up with a solution. Although she did not have the right to bring people through the access control, she was able to call a special car.

"Miri, wait here for a moment."

"Uh... ok."

Not long after, Ritsuko Akagi came out in a car.

"Come up."

Misato Katsuragi got into the car and felt a little restrained when she saw the driver driving in front of her.

"Your mother has a high status in the institute, right?"

Although Ritsuko Akagi really wanted to show off how powerful her mother was, she could not reveal inside information due to confidentiality regulations. She could only suppress the urge to talk and didn't even say a word. Because if there was a leak, not only would she be punished, but her mother would also be implicated. Of course, the most important thing was that she was carrying a monitoring device.

Knowing the existence of EVA, if she wants to continue her studies abroad, she must carry these monitoring devices with her.

In addition, there is human surveillance.

She didn't like to talk much on weekdays because she knew in her heart that if she leaked any important information, not only would she die, but the person she was talking to would also die.

Seeing that Ritsuko Akagi did not answer her, Misato Katsuragi was not angry, nor did she ask any further questions. The previous strict security made her understand that Ritsuko Akagi did not want to say it, but she could not say it.

Is this really a private research institute? !

She had some doubts and wanted to say something, but finally kept her mouth shut.

The special car went all the way to the camp.

She was shocked as soon as she got off the car. She was not shocked by the size of the camp, but because she found that the security guards here were equipped with guns.

Is it necessary to be so exaggerated???

Are you sure this is a private research institute... and not a military base? ?

She originally wanted to teach the scumbag a lesson, but at this moment she nervously held Akagi Ritsuko's hand. No matter how she behaved in the original work, she is now just a little girl who has just been admitted to university.

Misato Katsuragi was stopped again.

"Private territory, no one without a card is allowed to enter."

Just as Ritsuko Akagi was about to explain something, she heard a familiar voice coming from not far away.

"Let her in."

Looking in the direction of the voice, I saw Fumihiko Ikari.

Ritsuko Akagi is not Naoko Akagi herself, so she naturally does not have the authority to bring people in and out. For Fumihiko Ikari, this is just a matter of words.

The guard knew Ikari Fumihiko's identity and responded immediately.

"Yes."

Then the access control was unlocked.

Misato Katsuragi swallowed when she saw this scene.

Seeing this scene, he understood in his heart that although this man looked young, about the same age as himself and Ritsuko Akagi, he was either the second generation or a big boss, and definitely not the worker as expected. Ritsuko Akagi could allocate vehicles at will by relying on her mother's identity, which showed how high her status was. But even so, Ritsuko Akagi did not have the authority to bring people through the access control.

But the other party just said one sentence and the guard opened the door.

When Misato Katsuragi was about to back down, Fumihiko Ikari recognized her at a glance.

"Hello, I'm Fumihiko Ikari."

Although she was a little scared, Misato Katsuragi would not really leave Ritsuko Akagi alone.

"Hello, I'm Misato Katsuragi."

Ritsuko Akagi thought of what Misato Katsuragi said yesterday, and subconsciously looked around but did not see Ibuki Megumi or her mother.

"Are we the only three camping together this time?"

Ikari Fumihiko didn't think much about it and just replied casually.

"Emi didn't come because of something, and your mother can't leave her for the time being."

After returning to the dormitory last night, he asked Ibuki Megumi and Ayanami Rei if they wanted to come.

Ibuki Megumi only brought the change of clothes she had prepared for him but did not come along. Ayanami Rei originally planned to come along but changed her mind when she heard that Akagi Ritsuko would also be there. This time she just wanted to meet Katsuragi Misato and pave the way for future contact with Kaji Ryosuke, so she did not force it. The only person he did not invite was Akagi Naoko because he thought she was too busy.

Akagi Ritsuko and Katsuragi Misato looked at each other.

You see! I was right yesterday... Today is the situation.

At this moment, Ritsuko Akagi also felt nervous.

It shouldn't be... right?

Ikari Fumihiko didn't notice the strange expressions of the two people, and just spoke to himself.

"You came here so early, you must not have had breakfast yet, right? I asked the kitchen to make arrangements when I came here just now. Just a simple breakfast in the morning. Oh, right! What are you having for lunch? If you want to grill yourself, I'll have someone prepare it in advance."

Seeing that Ritsuko Akagi did not respond and seemed to be struggling with something, in order to avoid the other party from noticing the flaw, Misato Katsuragi had to take over the conversation at this time.

"Okay, I've never tried outdoor barbecue before—"

At this time, Ritsuko Akagi also came to her senses. When she heard that Misato Katsuragi was going to grill meat by herself, she wanted to persuade her to give up the idea. She had tried to grill meat by herself before, and the taste could only be described as indescribable. From then on, she realized that grilling only looks simple, but it is not easy to make delicious food. However, she gave up when she saw Misato Katsuragi's eager expression.

"Okay, I'll have someone arrange it. By the way, do you want game or a normal meal?"

"Game?"

"Yes, there are pheasants, hares, wolves... these. Well, there seem to be black bears in this forest. Of course, if you want to hunt by yourself, you can. There are hunting rifles here. "

The first part of the sentence was fine, but when she heard the second part, Misato Katsuragi was stunned.

You want me, a girl, to hunt a black bear with a shotgun?

There are shotguns here...

It’s too outrageous!

After saying this, Fumihiko Ikari realized that he had said the wrong thing. Although these words might be attractive if said to the same sex, they would be inappropriate if said to the opposite sex.

Just as he was thinking about how to save the situation, Ritsuko Akagi spoke up and helped him out.

"Just prepare normally. Um... hunting is too dangerous. Let's go to the lake to fish for some fish later."

"it is good."

17:09:16

301. If I want to touch you, I have to step over my body.

In fact, Fumihiko Ikari had not thought about how to get along well with Misato Katsuragi. After thinking it over again and again, he decided not to try hard to please Misato Katsuragi. It would be easier to invite her next time if he behaved more naturally.

So he just talked to the camp director about the lunch arrangements, and then said something to the two of them.

"I'm going fishing, you two can do whatever you want."

I took a set of fishing gear, found a cool place and started fishing.

Misato Katsuragi dragged Ritsuko Akagi to the lakeside and talked to her in a low voice.

Fumihiko Ikari did not try to please the two of them and remained as calm as usual. Ritsuko Akagi regained the confidence to comfort them.

"Look... I've already told you, he's not that kind of person."

"What do you mean it's not? This is a trick of playing hard to get. Think about it carefully. If he just wanted to come here to fish, why didn't he call his girlfriend or anyone else, but only called the two of us?"

Ritsuko Akagi wanted to continue to defend herself, but she couldn't find a suitable reason to refute for a while.

"..."

The fact that Ikari Fumihiko only invited two people over was indeed very strange. Just as she was thinking about it, she wondered what she should do if Ikari Fumihiko really deceived her in the same way as Katsuragi Misato said.

Misato Katsuragi patted her chest and forced herself to muster some confidence before saying something comforting.

"Don't worry, I'm here and I won't let him succeed..."

In order to show my determination, I subconsciously wanted to add, 'If he wants to harm you, he has to step over my body', but when the words came to my lips, I felt that something was wrong with them, so I didn't say them out loud.

Akagi Ritsuko didn't know what to say. No! She was in a state of confusion.

"Since we're already here, let's enjoy ourselves. By the way... Ritsuko, is there a place selling swimsuits here? It would be a shame not to go and enjoy such beautiful water. Um, Ritsuko, haven't you been here before? Why don't you tell me in advance so I can bring a swimsuit with me."

"There's a place over there that specializes in swimsuits."

"Ritsuko, can you swim? If not, I'll teach you."

"meeting."

The two came to a swimsuit store and each picked out a swimsuit. When they left, Misato Katsuragi subconsciously paid for the bill.

"All swimsuits here are provided free of charge. If you like, you can take them away."

"No way? How big is the industry behind the research institute where your mother works? Why are they so generous?"

"..."

Seeing that Akagi Ritsuko didn't reply, Katsuragi Misato understood that this was another question that could not be answered, and she couldn't help but mutter it in her heart.

what?

The confidentiality regulations are so strict that you can tell at a glance that this is not a legitimate organization.

She was worried that now that it was free, the bill would be sent to Ritsuko Akagi's mother, so she did not change her swimsuit.

After changing into their swimsuits and putting on slippers, the two left the swimsuit store.

Before we even got close to the lake, we saw a yacht that looked very expensive docked at the pier.

Misato Katsuragi once again raised her assessment of the financial strength of the forces behind the research institute.

It's really generous.

"Can we get on the yacht over there, too?"

"Well, yes."

"free?"

"Correct."

"It's not like it's free now, but all the expenses will be charged to your mother later."

Akagi Ritsuko shook her head.

"No."

Misato Katsuragi immediately became excited.

"What else is there to say? Let's go up and take a look now."

The two of them were playing on the yacht. Fumihiko Ikari fished for a while and then retreated to the hotel to enjoy the air conditioning. Although it was almost the end of the year, due to the movement of the earth's axis, there were no four seasons in Japan and it had always been midsummer. Even though it was cooler by the lake, someone like him who sat in the office for a long time still couldn't stand the stuffiness.

Absolutely not. I was annoyed after fishing for two hours without catching any fish. I even had the urge to pump the water.
