I participated in the development of EVA

"You're sweating so much, why? Are you hot?"

"Kind of."

Seeing the miserable state of Kaji Ryosuke, who had been pestering her, Misato Katsuragi couldn't help but want to laugh. You rascal, where is your usual ability to pester others? Why are you so scared?

Ritsuko Akagi didn't feel anything. This camping trip was proposed by Misato Katsuragi, and Ryosuke Kaji was usually very polite to her.

"Then let's rest in the hotel after we get off the bus. Um, by the way, Misato, you guys haven't had breakfast yet, right?"

Perhaps in order to increase her persuasiveness, Misato Katsuragi took over the conversation directly.

"Wen Yan, I want to eat Western food."

Ikari Fumihiko shook his head secretly, thinking that Katsuragi Misato was being a little too deliberate.

"okay."

The car stopped quickly, and the camp manager and hotel staff stood on both sides of the door to greet the three people.

"Prepare four breakfasts. Um, what do you want to eat?"

"casual."

"You look at the arrangements."

Ikari Fumihiko spoke to the camp director.

"Four French breakfasts, then."

"Okay, please wait a moment."

Normally, they should sit in the lobby at this time, but Misato Katsuragi didn't know what to talk about with Fumihiko Ikari in order to show their intimacy without being discovered, so she started talking after entering the lobby.

"It'll take a while for breakfast to be ready, why don't we go watch a movie first."

This is exactly what Fumihiko Ikari wants.

Even if Misato Katsuragi didn't bring it up, he would have brought it up.

"it is good."

The four of them came to the cinema, and Fumihiko Ikari chose a movie about a human being who committed suicide by breaking a seal and releasing an ancient giant, which almost led to the destruction of the world.

But obviously, this is too obscure.

Ryosuke Kaji has been using Misato Katsuragi as a cover. His attention seems to be on Misato Katsuragi, but in fact it is focused on Fumihiko Ikari. He doesn't care what the content of the movie is playing. Even if he paid attention... he and Fumihiko Ikari don't have that tacit understanding. After all, this camping trip was nominally for Misato Katsuragi to see her boyfriend, not for Fumihiko Ikari to deliberately want to see him.

Fumihiko Ikari didn't care about this. He would just take Ryosuke Kaji to watch this type of movie a few more times today to leave an impression on him.

Misato Katsuragi was a little more cautious, but perhaps out of misfortune, she did not act too intimately, but just leaned a little closer to Fumihiko Ikari.

After watching a movie, breakfast is ready.

Even if the French food is prepared according to Fumihiko Ikari's taste, it is still a bit difficult to get used to due to different eating habits.

During this time, Misato Katsuragi kept talking to Fumihiko Ikari about some interesting things that happened in school.

Fumihiko Ikari responded calmly and was thinking in his mind what movie he should take Ryosuke Kaji to see next, and what he should do afterwards so that Ryosuke Kaji would understand his hint without arousing suspicion from others. Before he knew it, breakfast was almost over, and at this moment, Misato Katsuragi said something shocking.

"Well, Ritsuko, please look after Kaji for a while. Fumihiko and I haven't seen each other for a long time, so we want to go back to the room and talk in private."

The meaning of these words is already very clear.

If it weren't for Ikari Fumihiko's strong concentration, he would have been defeated by now.

isn't it?

Do you have to be so fierce! ?

Katsuragi Misato seemed to be worried that Ikari Fumihiko would show his weakness, so after saying this, she didn't give anyone time to react and pulled Ikari Fumihiko towards the second floor of the hotel.

After walking up the stairs, she seemed to feel that this was not enough and added another sentence.

"Oh, by the way...Ritsuko, don't wait for us at lunch."

Good guy...

Ritsuko Akagi suppressed the twitching of her lips and responded in the calmest tone possible.

"Ah."

Ryosuke Kaji stood there in a daze. This was not a disguise; his true feelings were revealed.

Initially, he pursued Misato Katsuragi in order to get close to Ritsuko Akagi, but after persisting for a few months, he did have thoughts about Misato Katsuragi other than the mission. It took him a long time to come back to his senses, and his heart was only in pain for a moment before returning to normal. For him, investigating the truth of the second impact was more important than love.

Ritsuko Akagi spoke only after she saw Ryosuke Kaji come to his senses.

"Do you believe it now?"

"I won't give up so easily."

Ritsuko Akagi was speechless. Why was Ryosuke Kaji so stubborn?

"What are you waiting for? Wait for their child to be born and call you uncle?"

"Well...even if we can't be together, we can still be friends."

If it were someone else, Ritsuko Akagi would have thought that these words were just an attempt to save face, but it was different for Ryosuke Kaji.

"Miri really has no feelings for you."

"I know, but isn't that what love is?"

Ritsuko Akagi shook her head, and saw her own shadow in Ryosuke Kaji, but Ryosuke Kaji was braver than her. That's not right... It is brave to actively pursue love, but it is not brave to pursue someone who has a boyfriend. She knew that this behavior was wrong, so she did not reveal her feelings, but just wanted time to bury it all.

322. Mysterious Department

inside the room.

“Isn’t it necessary to go to this extent?”

Misato Katsuragi shook her head.

"I could sense that he had some agenda in approaching me."

"It's normal to be tempted by beauty, right?"

“It shouldn’t be this.”

"Uh...Okay, I'm a little curious, why didn't you contact the school leaders about this?"

"I have contacted him, and the director has also talked to him, but it's no use." Katsuragi Misato sighed, and spoke again with some helplessness, "After such a turbulent time, everything is in ruins now, college students are a scarce resource, and that guy's grades are not bad. As long as he doesn't do anything too outrageous, the school won't give him too severe a punishment.

I really had no other choice but to come up with this bad idea.

Sorry to trouble you."

Ikari Fumihiko smiled wryly in response.

"nothing."

If Ibuki Huimi knew that a single man and a single woman were alone in a room, it would be difficult to explain even if there was nothing wrong.

Misato Katsuragi naturally knew what Fumihiko Ikari was worried about.

"I thought about it earlier. This is your territory. He doesn't know if we are in the room or not. We will stay under surveillance later."

"Let's go now. There is a meeting room on the second floor."

"it is good."

Walk out of the room and into the conference room.

Only after he was back under surveillance did Fumihiko Ikari feel at ease. Although the turbid will remain turbid and the clear will remain clear, it is better not to have unnecessary tests of trust.

The atmosphere was somewhat awkward as the two looked at each other.

"Have you ever thought about what you will do after graduation?"

Misato Katsuragi shook her head.

"I haven't thought about it yet. I'll see how things turn out. I'm probably going to find a job in a company that matches my major."

Ikari Fumihiko was a little surprised. In the original novel, wasn't Katsuragi Misato a member of the First Division of the Tactical Operations Bureau of the NERV Headquarters? Why did she now want to be an ordinary office worker?

After a pause, Misato Katsuragi spoke again.

“It is also possible to go abroad and work for the United Nations with my mentor.”

"The United Nations?"

"Well, to be more precise, it is a mysterious department under the United Nations that was established not long ago. The instructor didn't tell me what it does specifically."

A mysterious department under the United Nations that was established not long ago? Nerv was established at this stage?

wrong--

It should be the predecessor of nerv.

In the original work, NERV is composed of the Institute of Artificial Evolution and this department. Of course, it is also possible that the Institute of Artificial Evolution was merged into this department.

While he was thinking, Katsuragi Misato seemed to open up and asked again.

"Oh right! Do you have any inside information about this? If the benefits are good, less work and more money, I will set joining this department as my future life goal."

After hesitating for a while, Fumihiko Ikari spoke.

“I can probably guess a little.”

"Oh?"

Misato Katsuragi had just asked casually, but she hadn't expected that Fumihiko Ikari actually had news.

"I can't tell you the specifics, and I don't know if it's right or not."

"I heard from other students that many instructors in the university have accepted invitations from this mysterious department. Haven't you?"

After hearing this, Ikari Fumihiko understood.

The mysterious department may have already sent me an invitation, but the message was intercepted.

"I really don't have this. Maybe I'm not qualified enough?"

"impossible!"

Misato Katsuragi denied it straightforwardly, and then she spoke again to explain her understanding, "It's been half a year, and there are still a lot of people on the Internet discussing the neural connection device you developed. According to the selection criteria of that organization, if you are not qualified, there will be few qualified people in the country. Maybe you have been too busy recently, so you didn't receive any invitation."

"That may be the case, but even if I really receive an invitation, I will not go."

"Hmm? What's wrong with that organization?"

"As soon as I heard about the United Nations, I knew that the internal forces must be complicated. I am not good at these things. It is better for me to stay in the institute and continue my research."

Misato Katsuragi wanted to give up the idea, but she couldn't help but ask.

"Do you think joining that organization at this stage will earn you more money and provide less trouble?"

Ikari Fumihiko pondered for a moment.

Under the current circumstances, this department should focus on investigating and training relevant talents. According to the original work, Misato Katsuragi should be assigned to a tactical-related department after joining.

“It should be similar to going to college.”

"Then I'll find a company to intern at first and see how it goes. If that doesn't work out, I'll contact my mentor and join that department at the United Nations."

"Ah."

After finishing the topic, silence fell again.

Misato Katsuragi had no choice but to find another topic.

"Can I ask you a question?"

"Tell me what you want to say."

"Which device have you developed that can really enter other people's dreams?"

"Well, to be more precise, it's just a concept similar to dreams. I explain it as a dream just to make it easier to understand."

"This is too awesome!"

"well enough."

"Besides entering the dream, what else can I do?"
