After 'saving' Orion Switcher, Shin got back to his apartment. As a 'normal' high school student, he lived alone, away from his family. That was his background story for his current persona. Shin's apartment was just a typical, small 1LDK apartment. Every appliance in his apartment was screaming bachelor live. The only luxurious item inside was a powerful gaming PC for his newfound hobby of gaming.
He straightly teleported to his bed and sighing loudly, "What a tiring day."
He lazed around on his bed and then suddenly woke up and remembered that he needed to do something else. "Ah... I forgot to tell Hiden about the matter regarding his kid."
He searching his jacket, trying to find his phone to make a call. Just as he found his cellphone... Hina's phone, someone knocked on his door. He teleported to his door and opened it, "Yes...yes... wait a sec, I'm opening it!"
Behind the door was standing a beautiful girl with a pair of glasses on her high nose. The girl was only in her early 20s, with long black hair in a ponytail. She wore a black formal business suit and slim-fit black trousers.
Shin then smiled at the girl and greeted her, "Hina~... you come at the right time."
"Master." Hina bowed respectfully to Shin. She gave him a box then said, "Your new phone."
Hina was another person deligated to assisted Shin. While Seiji acted as his aide inside the school, Hina would help him on his life outside the school.
He needed two people to assist him, not because he was a handful person but for both of his aides. Other than more free time for rest, they both needed time to deal with other matters. Seiji needed time to deal with his school problem and his training as a new recruit of Damage Control. While Hina needed time to do her other missions.
"Thanks! Also..." He looked outside his apartment and asked Hina, "Do you get here by car?"
"Of course, Master. While I do can use my power to teleport, It is too tiring for me to constantly using it."
"Great! Then drive me to Hiden's office."
=====
After a while, Shin and Hina arrived at the Hiden Intelligence HQ building. Both of them walked to the front office. Then Shin asked the front office lady, "Hi, Onee-san. Can I talk to your CEO?"
The front office lady looked weirdly at Shin for a moment and then assumed a formal look while asking Shin, "Do you have an appointment with our President?"
Shin looked at Hina, who stood behind him and asked, "Do I need to have an appointment first to meet Hiden?"
Hina just nodded at Shin's silly question and did nothing more.
"Tch... what a headache." Said Shin rudely.
The front office lady looked at him again and thought, 'Who this rude boy?! He talked so rudely about our president! Hmph... I will call security to kick him out!'
Just before the lady could call the security, Shin smiled again at her and then asked politely, "Then could you just tell him that Shin would like to meet him."
Seeing his wide charming smile, the lady forgot her urge to call security and blushed. She then replied shyly to Shin, "O... Okay. Please wait a minute."
She then called someone on the phone before the call was redirected directly to the president. Bewildered by the sudden development, she told her boss on the matters nervously. "Mister President, someone asked to meet you... His name is Shin... Eh... Ah, yes, yes..."
The lady seemed shocked when the president abruptly mad at her because she let the guess wait for so long. The charismatic and calm elder suddenly turned angry, which was never happened before. After recollecting her thought, she turned to Shin again and informed him, "Please wait a minute. Mr. President is on his way here."
"Why he is doing something so troublesome. Whatever, let's wait here."
Shin then sat on the lobby chair, waiting for Kurenosuke's arrival. The office lobby was vast and clean, with white and blue accents everywhere. There were a lot of people entering and exiting the building could be seen from where he sat. He could also saw some androids that were almost indistinguishable from normal humans walking around. If not for the weird headset replacing their ears, no one could tell the differences between them and humans.
From the first glance, people could saw how well and prosperous Hiden Intelligence is. It was the best artificial intelligence developer in the Country. Besides artificial intelligence, Hiden Intelligence and ZAIA Enterprise were leading contributors to developing Japanese technology.
Not even five minutes later, Hiden Kurenosuke arrived hurriedly to greeted Shin. He was a respected elder man with a neat business suit. Every one of the Hiden Intelligence's employees bowed respectfully when he passed them.
He was an intelligent and wise man, so he did not welcome Shin overly respectfully under the watch of other people's eyes. "Hello, Shin-kun, Hina-kun, sorry to make you wait for so long. Let us go somewhere quiet so we can talk peacefully."
"No...no...no... you are too POLITE Hiden-san. Please lead the way. Let's go, Hina." Replied Shin while also sending a message to Kurenosuke to stop acting too polite to him. They then left the lobby to went to Kurenosuke's office.
Not long after they left, the front office lady then asked her senpai, "Say senpai, do you think that boy is President Hiden's hidden son?"
Her senpai looked at her weirdly and then retorted, "What nonsense are you spouting about?!"
"Or maybe he is a successful young businessman?" She kept saying her guesses to her senpai.
"Why are you asking these questions?"
"He is handsome and cute, also potentially a rich boy. Maybe I should be asked his number when he comes out?"
The senpai, tired from listening to her co-worker nonsense and then ordered her to stop talking, "Stop day dreaming and do your job!"

IN HIDEN KURENOSUKE'S OFFICE
After closing the door and locking it, Kuronosuke turned around to see Shin sitting in his chair. He did not feel angry at the boy's act. Instead, he bowed respectfully to Shin and said, "I am sorry for my subordinate behavior if she is disrespectful to you, Shin-sama."
"Don't mind the small matter, Hiden." He waved at Kurenosuke's apology while he went to the coffee station to make himself a cup of coffee. He looked at Kurenosuke and then said, "Sit down. Do you want coffee or tea?"
"Master..." Hina wanted to remind Shin that this is Kuronosuke's office and not him. Her stiff personality could not tolerate Shin's rudeness to the host. Even though she knew that Shin had that privilege to act so.
But before she could finish her word, Kurenosuke stopped her quickly.
"Hahaha... It is okay, Hina-kun. It also thanks to the Master's help that Hiden Intelligence becomes this big."
"Yes. You need to relax a little bit and smile a lot, Hina, hahaha." Shin told Hina jokingly. "You are too stiff for your age. If you frown all the time, you will have wrinkles on your face, you know?"
After satisfied teasing his aide, he then sat on the sofa across from Kurenosuke. A second later, his demeanor changed drastically and turned serious. "About the matter regarding your kid. I already asked the guys up to let the matter slide. But you have to remember that I won't tolerate any misbehavior from him. If he abuses his new life, then..."
"Do not worry, Shin-sama. Soreo is a good kid and only has eyes for the greater good. He also requests this matter because he just wants to raise my grandchild Aruto properly." Kurenosuke reassured Shin to not worry about his son's actions.
"Ah... I see. That's good" His face turned soft after hearing Kurenosuke's word. "I remember that your daughter-in-law passed away when she delivered the baby."
A somber atmosphere permeated the office at the topic. Shin then decided to change the subject of discussion. "Anyway, how about your project? What its called again? Humandroid?"
=====
After an hour of chatting, Shin decided to get back home. Kurenosuke asked his secretary type Humagear, to accompanied Shin and Hina from his office to the lobby.
Not long after Shin exited his office, someone or instead a Humagear entered his office along with a one-year-old boy on his arm.
"Father." Greet the android to Kurenosuke.
"Ah, Soreo. How is your new body feels?" Asked Kurenosuke to his son, Hiden Soreo. He looked so sad at his son. He was sad because his son was no longer a human and happy that he could spend more time with his son. His grandson also could grow with the warmth of a parent.
