Elf: I am the adopted son of Sakagi

After the last incident, Mercury found that Uncle Sakaki seemed to have a change in mentality.

It was like letting go of some knot in his heart, and seemed to place some kind of emotion on him.

We dine together every day without hesitation. Even if there is a reservation for a gym challenger, the assistant will notify us to postpone it.

There were more conversations at the dinner table, and the atmosphere was not as depressing as before. Uncle Sakaki no longer looked cold and looked much more kind.

This empty villa finally feels a little like home.

Uncle Sakaki also introduced him to his hand-held elves one by one, but this time he used the word "son" instead of "adopted son".

The elves who heard this were stunned for a moment, but they quickly reacted and changed their previous cold style and shouted happily.

Why don't you stop laughing?

It's really scary to laugh.

But the biggest change was that of the giant needle wasp that had threatened Mercury before. He folded his wings, dug the stinger on his right arm into the ground, lowered his body, and let out a low cry.

Mercury, who can read poison spirits, heard clearly what the giant needle bee wanted to say, which was to express his apology.

Mercury is not a real child, so he obviously knows how to deal with this situation. He very thoughtfully praises the giant needle bee's protective behavior, and then extends it to the giant needle bee's handsome appearance and strong strength.

This operation can make even cunning humans laugh, let alone simple-minded elves.

After all, who would have thought that a five-year-old child carries the soul of an adult inside his body.

The Big Needle Bee was embarrassed by the praise and chose to turn his back to sharpen his gun to maintain his image, but looking at his actions, he seemed to be in a good mood.

But things always have two sides.

While mercury is being accepted, it also carries pressure that it didn't have before.

Uncle Sakaki made his training requirements more stringent.

"Huhu...Uncle Rhinoceros, I'm really in trouble. I can't run anymore. Let me...rest."

The horned rhinoceros watched Mercury collapse to the ground without any image, panting heavily, and the stones he was supposed to throw stopped in his hands, and he yelled a few words helplessly.

This is today's exercise program, avoidance exercises, also called life-saving exercises.

As an elf trainer, the first thing you have to do in a battle is to protect yourself.

The human body is still very fragile. If you catch any attack or aftermath from an elf, you may be injured or even killed. You must be sensitive to incoming attacks.

Mercury also understands the importance of this training, but Uncle Sakaki's elf strength is too terrifying.

Even though it was only the initial stage of training, those pebbles pounced on him as if they had eyes. The child's fair skin was covered with small red dots.

Sonic Bat also felt uncomfortable. As the elf of Mercury, he also participated in the training.

Although compared to Mercury, Super Sonic Bat had dodged most of the attacks, but even the remaining ones caused a big bump on his head.

But not everyone is in a bad mood.

Nidoran, who was watching the show and snorting, was obviously in a good mood.

There is nothing happier than watching others train and watching yourself.

If there is, then only the seniors and seniors in the university in the past life who ate watermelons and blew small fans while watching the military training of freshmen could surpass them.

"Stinky boy..."

Hearing the sneers, Mercury finally lost his patience with his anger and was no longer tired. He straightened up and walked towards the Nido family on the side.

Nidoran thought Mercury was going to deal with him, so he ran away some distance and made a face.

Unexpectedly, Mercury didn't even look at him when he passed by, and walked straight to Nidoking and Nidoqueen. Nidoran, who was still smiling playfully, felt a haze in his heart...

"Uncle Nidoking, Aunt Nidoqueen, I want to discuss something with you."

?

Nidoking and Nidoqueen looked at each other, then nodded, signaling Mercury to continue.

"Nidoran is not young anymore, and he is still following Nidoran's sister all day long. It is not okay to continue like this. Children must win at the starting line!"

"When I went to Tokiwa Forest to play a while ago, I met a Nidoran. That kid had already mastered the double kick and corner collision moves, and was suppressing himself from evolving just to accumulate more in the Nidoran stage. energy in order to evolve to have higher potential.”

"Other people's children have worked so hard, and Uncle Nidoking and Aunt Nidoqueen are so strong. Surely they don't want Nidoran to be just an ordinary elf in the future, right?"

Nidoqueen's heart didn't fluctuate much. It didn't matter to her what happened to the child, but Nidoking was different!

Nidoking has a strong fighting spirit. When he hears that other people's children are working so hard, his own cub is still idle all day long. What if he can't find a partner due to lack of strength in the future?

This total, the more I thought about it, the more wrong it became, and my face turned bright and dark.

Looking at his father's expression, Nidoron knew something was wrong. He was about to run away, but Nidoking grabbed Destiny by the scruff of his neck.

Mercury moved his gaze to Nidoran, who was unable to move, and said with a slight smile: "Uncle Nidoking, don't be anxious for now. Look, I happen to be training, so I can let Nidoran join in. , I’ll keep an eye on him for you.”

"Nido!"

Nidoran finally figured it out. Mercury's ultimate goal was to drag him into the water with him. What a vicious scheme!

But Nidoking had been convinced by Mercury's words. He nodded seriously and placed Nidoran next to Mercury, indicating that they would train together later.

Nidoran's face instantly turned gray.

Today, Mercury and Nidoran are both losing.

……

In the study room of Sakaki Mansion, a virtual screen unfolded.

On the screen was a man wearing small round-framed rimless glasses and a white coat. The only thing that impressed people was that he had a rare aquiline nose.

Sakaki stared at the man on the screen and asked, "Dr. Fuji, how is the construction of the genetic research institute going?"

"I'm sorry, Sakaki-sama."

The doctor named Fuji showed an embarrassed look to the sponsor who provided the research funds, "There are too few available manpower in the institute at present. Most of them are just researchers and assistants. It is difficult to hire real experts. The progress is slow." It’s really hard to push.”

"Is it a technical reason or a financial reason?"

"Technology...technology! If there is one more authoritative scholar in the field of genetics, we should be able to make smooth progress." Facing Sakaki's question, Dr. Fuji wiped the sweat beads on his forehead and responded. .

thump.

thump.

Sakaki's fingers tapped on the table regularly.

The atmosphere suddenly became depressing, and Dr. Fuji across from him was so frightened that his breathing almost stopped.

After a while, Sakaki finally spoke, "Do you have any recommendations?"

"Huh... ha, there is only one doctor who specializes in genes. I remember only one person, who was my classmate in college. That is..."

"Ok?"

Sakaki's sudden low pressure caused Dr. Fuji to quickly say the rest of the sentence, "Xia... Xia Bo! But he has become a gym leader now. I don't know if he is willing to join!"

"Uncle Xia? I understand. I will arrange for people to do the invitation. I hope Dr. Fuji will not disappoint me after Uncle Xia arrives."

"By the way," Sakaki suddenly seemed to remember something, "Adjust the research plan and prioritize the research on poisonous elves to see if there is any way to create a method to remove poison."

"But wasn't the original plan a fusion test of water, fire and electricity? If the plan is temporarily changed..."

Seeing Dr. Fuji hesitating and looking embarrassed, Sakaki glanced sideways and scolded: "Is there a problem?"

"no problem!"

"Well, let's do this this time."

Hanging up the video call simply, Sakaki looked at Guren City circled on the map on his desk, thoughtfully.
