I'm not a Pokémon succubus.

hiss......

Apollo and Athena looked at each other across the screen and both gasped.

After following Sakaki for so many years, they had never seen Sakaki look so servile and begging.

You know, even Du and Qinglu don't take their big boss seriously, and he has only ever obeyed Chihong in his entire life!

Aixia... Could it be that she is really a big shot on the same level as Chihong?

"hiss."

"..."

The two of them were silent, and secretly decided in their hearts that if they really had the opportunity to deal with Aixia in the future, they must not offend him.

"Okay, I'll find time to contact Aisha later to discuss this. Even if he's unwilling to come and give the lecture, we still need to finalize the course plan. You two go ahead and prepare, and Athena will help Apollo prepare. This concludes today's online meeting."

"Yes."

"Okay, thank you for your hard work, boss!"

Apollo and Athena hung up the video call with mixed feelings.

Sakaki sat in his office chair and sighed deeply.

"How should I bring this up with that kid..." He was a little distressed.

He had never been weak to others in his life, and had worked hard all the way up to where he is today. From being a bug catcher in the Evergreen Forest to becoming the Dark Emperor of the Dark World that ruled over two regions, he had never asked anyone for help. Who would have known that today he would be troubled by asking Aisha to give a lecture to his subordinates, and he didn't know how to start the conversation.

Although Sakaki has always been very good to Aisha, he has been giving her benefits that she deserves and shouldn't have.

But he had no intention of repaying a favor. It would be more accurate to say that repaying a favor was exactly what Sakaki hated and was most unwilling to do.

"hiss."

"Knock, knock." There was a knock on the office door.

"Enter."

Sakaki immediately put away the distressed expression on his face and once again put on his classic bossy expression that said "keep away from strangers" and was full of oppression.

However, when he saw the person who pushed the door open, Sakaki's cold expression suddenly collapsed, and he could be called a master of changing his face.

"Silver, silver."

Calling his son's name, Sakaki gave a stiff smile as he looked at the young man in black clothes and red hair who walked into the office.

In fact, Sakaki is not a faceless person or an iceberg. He will smile when he encounters something worth being happy about in his daily life.

but......

Sakaki was never sure how to smile at Gin.

Of course he couldn't show that kind of cold smile when dealing with his enemies and subordinates, Yin was his child.

But that gentle smile... Sakaki felt embarrassed again.

Therefore, the expression on his face at this moment was quite strange. If Qinglu saw it, he would probably hold his stomach and laugh out loud.

"what happened?"

Sakaki was anxious and concerned, saying, "Why did you come here so suddenly? What's wrong?"

"Did something happen?"

Sakaki asked the same question three times in different ways.

Although he is not young, Sakaki does not have much experience as a father.

Yin and he had been separated since childhood. The father and son only recognized each other a few years ago, and only a few months ago did they put aside their past grudges and live together again.

It's not just Yin who has never felt the love of a father and the warmth of a family.

Sakaki, who lost his wife at an early age, had long forgotten how to get along normally with his family, let alone how to educate and care for his children as a father.

All he could do was show some clumsy concern and give Yin some material compensation.

"......fine."

Sensing Sakaki's thoughts, Gin was silent for a moment and shook his head.

As a child who has been wandering around alone since childhood and making a living by stealing, Yin, who has experienced the warmth and coldness of human nature, is able to see into people's hearts better than ordinary people.

He could feel Sakaki's concern for him, and he could also realize Sakaki's guilt and feelings towards him.

Silver is not a heart of stone.

Otherwise he wouldn't have gone to the hospital to meet Sakaki at that time.

During this period, Gin saw everything Sakaki did.

He witnessed with his own eyes that his father decisively gave up the old Rocket Team's position in the dark world for his own sake and devoted himself to the white business.

He knew all about Sakaki's hard work.

He also knew that Sakaki did this just to make himself feel that he was not the child of a criminal.

Yin was very touched.

therefore......

He felt that this broken father-son relationship could not be repaired by Sakaki alone.

I...should also do my bit!

"that."

Yin scratched his head, feeling a little nervous and uncomfortably speaking, "Actually, I heard your conversation with someone else outside just now."

"Ok?"

Sakaki was stunned, and subconsciously looked around the wall of the office and frowned.

"Is the office soundproofing so poor?"

"No." Yin shook his head and said, "I have a unique way..."

"what."

Sakaki was stunned, and then a strong feeling of guilt arose in his heart.

He had learned about Yin's experience from Du and Bilan.

When Sakaki thought of what his son experienced in his childhood, his heart felt like it was being pricked by needles.

"Uh."

Seeing the flash of guilt in Sakaki's eyes, Yin quickly changed the subject, saying, "What I mean is... if you don't know how to ask Coach Ai for help, perhaps I can help and try to contact him for you."

Yin, who usually speaks little, spoke a lot at this moment for the first time.

The stuttering sentences also reveal the boy's inner nervousness and shyness.

"..."

Sakaki was silent.

He looked at Yin, his eyes reflecting the red-haired boy, flickering with strange emotions.

Gin was afraid that Sakaki would not accept his help, so he said anxiously, "I just want to help you..."

Pursing his lips, Yin called out the name.

"Father......"

"Uh!"

Sakaki's hands shook and he almost dropped the folder.

"what happened?"

Silver asked blankly.

"I'm sorry." Sakaki's expression was dull. He raised his hand and placed it on his chest, saying, "This name is not good for my heart."

"Uh?"

"In that case, then I'll leave this matter to you." Sakaki smiled, and this time his smile was extremely natural.

It's not the time to treat an enemy with a cold and ruthless sneer.

It's not the kind of aloof smile you have when you're dealing with your subordinates.

But it is a gentle and calm smile when treating family and people you love.

"Ah."

Silver nodded vigorously.

"I believe that Coach Ai will definitely not refuse!"

After saying that, Yin ran out, and his impetuous look actually looked a bit like Ajin.

Sakaki watched his son leave in silence for a long time, and then the corners of his mouth unconsciously rose.

He raised his hands to cover his face and let out a low laugh.

Can't help it.

This time I really can't help it.

Yin, called him "father".

Compared with the interactions between the father and son before, today's conversation, which was short but full of warmth and care for each other, can be said to be a great success.

"Very good......"

Sakaki breathed a sigh of relief and a genuine smile appeared on his face, which almost scared Manatori to death when he came to close the door for him.

"Ok?"

Standing at the door, Zhentori recalled the scene he had just seen with a look of horror on his face.

She has been Sakaki's secretary for so many years, but when has she ever seen her boss smile so kindly like an old father?

"It's bad, I won't be silenced, right?"

Zhenniao was worried.

......

Sakaki wasn't the only one who had the idea of ​​having Aisha give lectures to his subordinates.

After watching Aisha's video, Du, who was also in Changqing City, had the same idea.

"Sheba."

Leaning against the window, gazing at the clear blue sky of Changqing City, Du expressed his thoughts to his colleague on the other end of the phone.

"I plan to have Ai Jun go to the Investigator's Headquarters and give a lecture to the new Investigators who have just joined the company and are undergoing professional training."

"lecture?"

Shiba sounded puzzled on the other end of the line.

However, although he looked like a rough guy, he was actually not stupid, but very smart. He figured out Du's purpose at once.

"Are you planning to have Ai Jun teach them how to build a team and develop their own unique tactics around their own team?"

"Ah."

Du nodded and said, "I don't expect too much, but if ten, no, five out of a hundred new investigators can learn even a little bit of what Ai Jun does, it will greatly improve their combat effectiveness, and the combat effectiveness of the entire team, and they will be able to carry out their missions more safely."

"Um......"

Sheba's voice was low.

He knew that although Du insisted on justice, what was important to him was never the completion rate of the mission, but the survival rate of the investigators.

"Furthermore, Ai-kun is a master of both indiscriminate wild fighting and wild training." Xiba added, "There are no stupid trainers who can pass the Investigator exam and eat government food. Ai-kun's teachings will at least teach them something useful."

In this way, the survival rate of investigators on missions will be much higher.

"Yeah." Du nodded and said, "That's what I mean."

"How to say."

Sheba inquired.
