After retirement I became a guardian of troubled youth

Hikaru Ueno was handcuffed by two policemen and was taken from one small room to another.

Sitting on the table in disorder, shaking his legs, he turned his head suddenly when he heard the movement, and the bored expression on his face was swept away.

He jumped off the table and jumped up to Ueno Hikaru like a little rabbit.

The kid obediently stood half a meter away from him, smiled sweetly with his eyes bent, and opened his arms expectantly towards him.

"Brother!~"

Hikaru Ueno was stunned for a moment, and was in a trance for a moment.

It always feels good - I haven't heard this voice for a long time.

Soft as if acting like a baby, but also with the clarity and vitality of a teenager.

At the moment he was stunned, the kid on the opposite side puffed up his cheeks and threw himself into his arms.

Ueno Hikaru pushed back a step with inertia, and took advantage of the momentum to hug Ranpo.

Luanbu rubbed against his arms, looking up at him.

Hikaru Ueno looked at him and said, "You're thinner."

Luanbu was stunned for a moment, pursed his mouth, and the strength around his waist increased a little, and he muttered softly against his heart: "It's not because you're not here."

Hikaru Ueno pressed his upturned hair, and still said in a calm tone: "That's not the reason why you don't eat well."

Luanbu snorted, struggled twice and squeezed out of his arms.

He looked up at Hikaru Ueno and said angrily, "You don't even want me! I don't want you to be my brother!"

Hikaru Ueno: "...Oh."

Ranbu's eyes widened, he snorted heavily, and turned his head to ignore him.

The little policeman who was watching became a little cautious when speaking: "Well, please come and register your information first, and you can leave after confirming your identity."

Luanbu refused in seconds: "No!"

"I don't want to be your younger brother." He turned his head and made a face at Ueno Hikaru, then turned his head back again.

Brother policeman: "Well, I'm sorry, I would like to trouble you both to cooperate with our work..."

He glanced at Hikari Ueno, who was still unresponsive, and said, "I don't want to continue to register information! You keep him locked in there!", turned around and left.

The remaining policeman brother and Hikari Ueno looked at each other in blank dismay.

Hikaru Ueno and the policeman looked at each other for about two or three seconds, and felt that the time was almost up, so he leaned over and said sorry to the person, then turned to chase after Chaos.

The little policeman scratched his head, looked down at the empty information registration form in his hand, then looked at the two people who had walked away one after the other, and sighed.

He hesitated, and walked to the door.

The pair of brothers were still talking while walking, and when they were about to reach the gate of the police station, the kid in front turned around and shouted something, and then ran directly across the road.

It is not uncommon for him to see this kind of situation before. There are always some people whose family relationship is not particularly harmonious, and it is not uncommon for them to make a lot of noise in the police station. These two are already considered good.

He flicked the registration form in his hand and sighed again.

"I have to fill them in myself."

While muttering, the little police officer sat down at the table, picked up a pen, tapped twice on the registration form, and then stopped.

Those two people... what are their names?

They don't seem to have mentioned their names?

Staring at the blank application form, the little policeman fell into deep thinking about the world and life.

But judging by their performance, they are real brothers.

right?

It's very similar.

Ueno Hikaru followed Ranpo out of the police station. Along the way, he saw the children shouting and dancing in an extremely vivid performance, and he couldn't help but praise sincerely: "It's amazing."

Ranpo raised his head proudly, as if even the cat's tail was about to stand up.

He patted himself with pride: "Of course, you can't live without me."

Hikaru Ueno patted his head and said, "But—"

"I know, you're going to find your mission target this time, right?" The kid pointed at the dessert shop opposite and waved his hand generously, "Go ahead, I'll wait for you there."

The corner of the mouth under the collar raised a little, and there was a rare gentle smile in the cold voice: "Okay."

The information fed back from the bracelet shows that Zhongye's soul is undergoing a second negative fluctuation.

According to the design effect of this bracelet, if you collect three strong negative fluctuations, you can ignore the one-month deadline and analyze the soul state of the binding object in advance to determine what kind of situation the other party belongs to.

Ueno Hikaru walked a few steps into the corner, remembered something, and suddenly turned back.

Luanbu was still standing on the spot looking this way, met his gaze unexpectedly, and averted his eyes hastily.

Hikaru Ueno walked up to him, bent down, and said softly, "I miss you very much."

I think of you every minute locked in the ice.

Luanbu was stunned for a moment, his eyes widened a little, and under Ueno's gaze, he suddenly laughed and said, "Of course."

"I'm your younger brother, who do you think I miss!"

The child's raised hair swayed in the wind, looking very happy.

……

When Ueno Hikaru teleported to Chuya's side, a certain angry and sad child was squatting pitifully beside the street lamp, grabbing a white fluffy puppy, wanting to grab the puppy The bald posture.

Hikaru Ueno took a step forward and saw the child's expression clearly.

His eyes were red, and he looked like he was about to cry.

But the actions of his subordinates were not ambiguous at all.

I don't know who I took that plush puppy for.

Xiaozhong also tugged twice again, as if sensing something, he looked up and met Hikaru Ueno's gaze.

Hikaru Ueno crouched down and opened his arms towards him.

"Sorry, I'm late."

The days in winter are always short, and it is still a sunny afternoon when we go out, and the sunset has covered the sky at this moment.

Xiaozhong also saw him, sniffed, and the tears that had been holding back burst out instantly.

He sobbed and threw himself into Ueno Hikaru's arms, crying miserably, and his speech became intermittent: "I, I thought I would never see you again QAQ"

"No." Ueno Hikaru patted the child on the back.

"No matter where you are, I can find you back."

Zhong also raised his head and looked at him carefully, his blue eyes were full of expectation: "Really?"

"real."

Xiaozhong also buried his head in his chest, and whispered: "Then, then you must remember to look for me."

Hikari Ueno stroked his head and promised, "I will."

The children's tears came and went quickly, and after getting this promise from Ueno Hikaru, Xiaozhong also stopped crying very quickly, only occasionally sobbing twice.

It looks very cute.

Hikaru Ueno unconsciously pinched the child's tear-stained cheeks and rubbed them gently twice.

Zhong also made a cute sound of unknown meaning.

Hikaru Ueno paused, stared at him for two seconds, and rubbed him a few more times.

Xiaozhong also tugged at his wrist, sniffed, lowered his head, and whispered, "No more."

Ueno Hikaru: "Okay, stop rubbing. Go home."

And rubbed it again before withdrawing his hand.

He took Xiao Zhongya, picked up the plush puppy that Zhongya had just thrown to the ground, and led the child to the corner.

The child's face couldn't feel better, much better than the clay figurines he made in the hole before.

In other words, there is simply no comparison.

According to unscientific research, pinching children's faces is addictive.

It's cool to pinch your face for a while, and it's cool to pinch your face all the time.

Before the teleportation, Ueno Hikaru couldn't restrain himself, and stole the kid's cheek again.

soft.

Just very comfortable.

Zhong Ye: "No."

……

The clothes were not bought, and there were a bunch of episodes in the middle.

The children in Zhongye were not happy.

He sat sullenly on the edge of the bed, rubbing the stuffed dog vigorously.

Hikaru Ueno glanced at the dog that was about to be crumpled into a ball.

He cut to the chase: "Who took you away?"

Chuya stopped rubbing the dog, lowered his head, and said a name aggrieved: "Edogawa Ranpo..."

Hikaru Ueno was stunned: "Random steps?"

Zhong Ye tugged at the dog's ears, and nodded without saying a word.

After a long silence, he whispered: "He is good or bad."

……

The good and bad Edogawa Rampo entered the dessert shop, ordered a cup of milk and a small cake for himself, and sat down at a place by the window with a good view.

After a while, another kid who was younger came in and sat across from him.

The child stared at him for a while, then suddenly said: "He is very kind to that child."

Ranbu sullenly took a bite of the cake, biting the fork in his mouth, and mumbled, "...I know."

After a while, he hummed again.

As soon as Xiu Zhi laughed, he was stared at.

He waved his hands innocently.

"I'm not his target." He blinked.

Luanbu didn't speak, and took a few sips of milk.

"He should come to you soon." Xiu Zhi glanced out of the window, "By the way, I left you a little surprise."

Luanbu was not surprised: "I know."

He bit his fork: "He won't believe it."

"He must know that it's you and not me."

Xiu Zhi laughed, and wanted to say something, when suddenly a man in a suit and leather shoes came up behind him.

The man stopped beside him and bowed respectfully to him, "Young master, it's time to go home."

The expression on Xiu Zhi's face disappeared for a moment, and then it changed into that smile again.

"Okay, I know."

He stood up, waved towards Luanbu, and said, "See you next time."

Luanbu stared at him, frowning.

"you--"

He wanted to say something, but stopped suddenly, and finally watched the boy leave behind the man without saying a word, and got into the black car parked outside.

Luanbu pinched the end of the fork and spun it around on the empty plate.

Forks and plates screeched, and the guests next to them cast dissatisfied glances.

Another figure stopped beside the table.

Luanbu raised his head, looked at the person with a smile, and opened his arms happily towards him.

"You come to pick me up!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the smile on his face disappeared instantly, and his eyes turned to the child behind Hikaru Ueno.

The orange-haired kid shrank behind Hikaru Ueno, grabbed his arm, carefully poked out half of his head to look at him, shook his head, and said, "It's not him."

Ueno Hikaru touched the child's head affectionately and said, "I know."
