I participated in the development of EVA

Ikari Yui!

After Akagi Naoko was rescued, should Ikari Yui save her?! ?

He had neither too much nor too little contact with Ikari Yui, so he didn't feel too much emotional burden whether to save her or not.

Therefore, the result of this issue is based on interests.

With the power currently in the hands of mankind, it doesn't matter whether the original plot is guaranteed or not. After hesitating for a moment, he decided to leave it alone, because this is the safest way for him and the world.

Then he thought of another person, that is, Soryu Kyoko Zeppelin in Unit 02.

That is Asuka's mother.

Compared to Ikari Yui, he wants to rescue this woman more, but the problem with Unit 2 is not whether to rescue her, but whether she can be rescued... Unlike Akagi Naoko and Ikari Yui, Asuka's mother Kyoko was so worried about Asuka that her soul was split into two halves, and the half that escaped has been dead for several years.

Forget it, these things... let's wait until everything is settled.

Just as he was thinking about this.

On the other side, Misato Katsuragi went through an intense psychological struggle in the bathroom before walking out wrapped only in a bath towel, but she didn't expect that Fumihiko Ikari had already left.

This made her stand there awkwardly for a long time, feeling like a fool for being so conflicted for so long.

The original clothes had been thrown into the washing machine, so she could only wrap herself in the bath towel like this, but fortunately there was no one in the room, so she didn't care too much. However, she quickly realized that they were going to have dinner together later, and she couldn't keep wrapping herself in the bath towel like this, so she rummaged around again, and found a lot of photos of Fumihiko Ikari from the closet.

She really didn't expect that Ritsuko, who usually looked cold, actually had such a side to her.

I looked around in my closet for anything I could wear as underwear, and the only thing I found was combat uniforms with a certain degree of adaptive functionality.

When she was thinking about trying it on...

At this moment, Ritsuko Akagi walked into the room from outside and saw Misato Katsuragi who had untied her bath towel and still had water stains on her body.

A sentence popped into my mind.

"Miri, are you trying to get me involved?"

"..."

756. Little Genius Misato

Misato Katsuragi originally thought that in her current state, Ritsuko Akagi would suspect her and think that something had happened between her and Fumihiko Ikari. She was about to explain, but she didn't expect Ritsuko Akagi to say such words.

"????"

Sense of participation?

After being stunned for a moment, she finally reacted.

"What a sense of participation! I'm not as perverted as you!!"

"Then what are you doing in my closet?"

"Of course I have nothing to wear..."

"No clothes to wear?"

"My clothes got dirty before, so I came here to take a shower and change clothes."

"The clothes are dirty? You have done it before..."

Akagi Ritsuko stood there in disbelief.

Seeing this, Misato Katsuragi weakly defended her innocence.

"Ritsuko, tell me... is it possible that I just chose to take a shower and change clothes because I was nervous and sweating too much? It's not because something happened between me and the director."

Ritsuko Akagi ignored her explanation and analyzed it with forced calmness.

"That's not right! The Type 02 prototype didn't respond just now. Could it be that my mother didn't notice? This kind of thing has to happen in front of my mother?"

"Ritsuko, don't be like this... I'm a little scared..."

After a pause, Misato Katsuragi hurriedly defended herself again.

"Look, there's no marks on my body... nothing really happened. Otherwise... let's talk about the issue of participation."

She felt that it was too difficult for her at this moment, and she was a little afraid to continue helping.

These people are too difficult to please.

Only then did Ritsuko Akagi come to her senses.

"Really not?"

"Really not!"

"Then why did you come here to take a shower?"

It’s because you guys are all too difficult to please!

"I...I...I'm tired, so I'll take a shower to cool down."

"What about the clothes?"

"My clothes were dirty, so I washed them. I was just looking through your closet to find something to wear. I really didn't want you to feel involved..."

Ritsuko Akagi breathed a sigh of relief, her sanity returned, and she began to analyze the situation seriously.

"The situation has changed. We can temporarily put our previous plan on hold, but...if this record is really used in the future, we can take the sense of participation into consideration, which should be able to play a certain auxiliary role."

Auxiliary role?

Did the "assistance" make you more determined and weaken my resolve?

Complaints aside, at this moment Misato Katsuragi was more worried about Ritsuko Akagi's current mental state.

"Uh...I'll...consider it..."

"I was serious."

"Uh...okay..."

"If my clothes and bed don't work, you can try mother's."

"Uh...okay..."

Could you please not raise my acceptance level so high all of a sudden... I don't recommend sacrificing one's looks, but that doesn't mean I have no sense of shame!

wrong!

The focus now is...

If I really did that, I would definitely be stabbed eighteen times in the back and die from suicide!

"How about... let's just do it all at once! He's pretty weak right now, I'll help you hold him down while you go on stage yourself."

Ritsuko Akagi asked back subconsciously.

"If you don't tell me, will my mother be unable to accept this when she wakes up?"

Didn’t refuse…

You haven't given up yet.

Misato Katsuragi thought about it and realized that moral kidnapping could only dispel the desire of Akagi and her daughter to commit suicide, but it could not resolve the emotional problems among the three of them.

Uh……

wrong.

Why should I worry about the emotional entanglement between the three of them? This is their private matter.

Of course, she was just complaining in her heart. If she really didn't care about Ritsuko Akagi, she wouldn't agree to help. After all, helping would mean sacrificing herself.

She looked at Ritsuko Akagi with a serious expression.

"Ritsuko, I want you to think about this."

"What are you thinking about?"

"After your aunt is rescued, can you really let go?"

Akagi Ritsuko's expression was obviously much gloomier. After a moment of silence, she spoke: "My mother has suffered too much to raise me after the Second Impact. I can't become a stumbling block to her happiness... Besides, I am still young and have a lot of time. There will be many opportunities in the future. My mother...she is different..."

"It's no different. With the current level of medical technology, as long as you don't want to die, Auntie can live for a long time. Besides, isn't your happiness important?"

After saying this, Misato Katsuragi finally realized that by saying this she seemed to be pushing her best friend into the fire.

I want to persuade them to break up, but I don't know how to start.

Let alone the big box of photos hidden in the closet, it was enough to show how deeply Ritsuko Akagi was obsessed with Ikari Fumihiko. She had told Ritsuko Akagi more than once in the past that if it really didn't work, she should just find someone else and not hang herself on the same tree. However... after saying so much, didn't Ritsuko Akagi still not let it go! ?

Not to mention……

Even now, Ritsuko Akagi still has some thoughts in her heart.

She couldn't help but sigh in her heart.

If you can't do it yourself, how can you convince others to agree with you?

When she chose to be with Ryosuke Kaji, she thought that she could shift her gaze away from the shadow in her memory and focus on the person in front of her. However... her gaze was still on the shadow in her memory, even when she was doing that kind of thing. It never stopped, and she even felt more and more empty inside.

Speaking of which, Ritsuko's current situation is better than hers. At least the person who makes her unable to take her eyes off is not her biological father, and he is still alive.

After being silent for a long time, Ritsuko Akagi spoke again.

"Mother is more important..."

"Alas! You are putting pressure on your aunt by doing this."

"???"

"If she could accept it calmly, why would she make such a choice?"

"..."

Misato Katsuragi was also confused, but after thinking for a while, an idea flashed through her mind.

"wrong!"

"What's wrong?"

"How did you know about the matter between my aunt and the director?"

"Felt it, and he's admitted it."

"What if he's lying to you? What if you feel wrong too?"

“Ah? That shouldn’t be…right!?”

"What if?"

Ritsuko Akagi stood there blankly, thinking about this possibility.

After thinking about it, an idea flashed through her mind.

The strength of EVA's AT field is related to the driver's inner heart.

If Katsuragi Misato's hypothesis is true, Ikari Fumihiko's lies and his mother's disappearance are all part of a driver training program tailored for him.

is it possible?

It is indeed possible!

Although artificial gods are said to possess divine power, their true power cannot be unleashed unless the driver is competent.

This does make sense...

But, is all this really a training plan for myself!?

She had some doubts.

wrong!

She was unwilling to believe that someone close to her would do such a thing, and she also felt that all this was too real and didn't seem like a conspiracy.

20:49:24

757. It’s too late for me to move now, right?

Seeing Ritsuko Akagi's dazed expression, Misato Katsuragi reacted.
