After retirement I became a guardian of troubled youth

According to the next development in the story, the "little black cat" in his hand should stop being angry first, become shy, and then reluctantly agree.

Then Ueno Hikaru could say tolerantly that he forgave him and didn't need him to be responsible for himself, but only wanted him to keep a distance from himself in the future.

Then this matter became, and his future life could still become peaceful and peaceful.

Anyway, this is the story of the three children.

But the story of this little friend seems to be different from those three people.

After he was stunned for a moment, he seemed to become even more angry.

He didn't care at all whether he was responsible or not, so he just threw him at him.

Well.

Hikaru Ueno turned his head to avoid it, and grabbed the smaller kidnapper with his other free hand.

After being caught by him once, the children become smarter and learn to hide hidden weapons in their sleeves.

But unfortunately it is of no use.

He took off the new kidnapper and threw it with the other two.

Hikaru Ueno looked at the struggling young man, puzzled, and asked sincerely, "Why do you want to obstruct my work?"

The boy snorted coldly like last time, as if he didn't bother talking to him.

Hikaru Ueno distressed: "I hope you won't do this next time."

This time, the soul of the deceased floated over slowly, looking at the two of them with a smile, with a kind expression.

The young man caught a glimpse of the old man out of the corner of his eye, and was stunned for a moment, his struggling movements slowed down unconsciously.

"He has passed away." Hikari Ueno reminded, "It's just the soul."

He repeated what he had said last time: "My job is to take the souls of the dead."

The boy stared at him silently.

The old man floated a little closer, looked up and down the boy hanging upside down, stroked his beard and asked Ueno Hikaru with a smile, "You don't know him, do you?"

Hikaru Ueno was startled slightly, looking at the speaking soul.

The old man pointed at the boy, with a gentle and kind smile in his voice: "He is a very famous kid in Bingsheng."

"The fights are particularly fierce, but the people are actually very good."

The boy's body froze, and suddenly he lost even the last bit of struggle.

"In the eyes of those adults, this child may be a vicious and undisciplined bad boy."

The old man also hung upside down with him, stroking his hanging hair in this posture.

"But in fact, he often comes to give things to us old guys who are left alone."

"Some people were taken up and down the stairs and across the road by him..." the old man said, and he suddenly laughed. "I fell ill on the way, and it was the hospital where he sent me."

He shaved the boy's tall nose, turned over, and looked at Hikaru Ueno: "Don't think he is so fierce to you now, but he is actually a naughty kid with a very kind heart."

Hikaru Ueno didn't know how to respond, so he replied vaguely: "Hmm."

He looked down at the impatient boy, and found that the boy's ears were turning red little by little.

Quietly, secretly, she was extremely shy by herself.

Hikaru Ueno stared at the red ears for a few times, and felt that this child was a bit like it.

He straightened the boy and pressed him to the ground.

Worried that the opponent would strike again as soon as he came over, Hikaru Ueno pressed his shoulder and waited for a while, but did not dare to let go directly.

But unexpectedly, the boy really stood there obediently, motionless, with his head bowed and his ears still red.

Ueno Hikaru let go of his hand in relief, but at the same time he was a little surprised.

"Let's go." The old man rolled up his sleeves and urged him instead.

He narrowed his eyes and smiled, pointed to the top of his head mysteriously, and said in a low voice, "Those old men said they were waiting for me up there."

Hikaru Ueno watched the old man suddenly look like a child, and pursed his lips.

"Are you looking forward to meeting them?"

"Of course." The old man came over and patted him on the shoulder, "Little friend, you don't have friends, do you?"

Ueno Hikaru really thought about it seriously and shook his head.

The old man sighed: "I knew it. When you have friends, you will know this feeling."

Hikaru Ueno felt a little uncomfortable listening to his tone, and added: "I have a younger brother."

He paused, wanting to emphasize something, and added: "Three."

The old man let out an "oh shit" and laughed "haha".

He didn't say anything else, urging Ueno Hikaru to take his soul.

Ueno Hikari raised his sickle under the gaze of the young man, and swiped across the half of the old man.

The old soul gradually fades and disappears.

The old man suddenly spoke again at the end and said, "You need to spend more time with them."

"They're definitely looking forward to it."

"Crash." The soul disappeared in the sound of waves lapping on the shore.

Hikaru Ueno lowered his head, stared at the sickle in his hand, and said a belated response: "They are doing well."

Would not expect to meet.

Just like now, he actually doesn't expect to meet those three children.

Knowing that they are all doing well, Hikari Ueno is already very satisfied.

As for whether to meet or not.

It doesn't seem to matter.

"Hello." The boy who had been standing silently on the side suddenly called him.

His voice was originally cold, but because of the voice-changing period with a little hoarse feeling, it sounds better.

Hikaru Ueno was stunned for a moment, then retracted his sickle and looked up.

He hesitated and asked: "...Are you really the god of death?"

Hikaru Ueno nodded.

The boy still looked at him suspiciously.

Hikaru Ueno stood there silently, letting him look at him.

After a while, Ueno Hikaru saw that he hadn't spoken, pulled his collar which was cut by him, and nodded politely.

"Then I'll go first."

Life in the world is actually not very interesting, so Ueno Hikaru has recently returned to his old career.

Of course it is not the "old business" of carving small human heads and bodies.

It is the "karma" he has cultivated since the chaos period-cooking.

At present, it is mainly small desserts.

Making desserts is a great way to kill time.

And it's easy to handle when you're done.

There are many children in Bingsheng, and the folk customs here are simple and honest.

He went out for a walk with a box full of desserts, and when he came back, there were basically only boxes left.

It is very convenient.

When he received the task today, he was baking a cake.

After careful calculation, it is almost time now.

The boy's lips moved, as if he wanted to say something.

But at the same time, Ueno Hikari had disappeared in place.

The young man froze for a moment, stared down at the two kidnappers, one small and three kidnappers on the ground, and was silent for a while, then silently picked up the kidnappers, turned and left.

……

Hikaru Ueno thought so.

Now that it has been confirmed that he is the god of death, and he has also learned about his work.

Then that bad boy who is kind in nature will no longer come to trouble him while he is working.

This is indeed the case.

In the next month, Hikari Ueno's work returned to normal, and everything went smoothly.

Seeing the end of the year is approaching.

At such an important moment, even the god of death in the underworld would have to celebrate it a little.

Although it doesn't seem necessary.

But after all, it is a sense of ritual that has persisted for so long.

So on the afternoon of December 12, Ueno Hikaru went out and went to a supermarket closest to where he lived.

By the way, the house was allocated to him by the Eye of the Underworld.

But what Ueno Hikaru did not expect was that not "harassing" him during work does not mean that he will not be at other times.

He walked around the supermarket, and when he went out with shopping bags, he was blocked by this familiar black-haired delinquent boy.

The boy held a kidnapper and looked like he was coming to fight with him.

Ueno Hikaru looked at him, was silent for a while, and said, "I don't have work today."

The boy was also silent for a while, and said awkwardly: "I know."

Hikaru Ueno stared at his shopping bag, hesitated for a moment, took out an empty red envelope from it and handed it to the boy, tilting his head: "?"

lark:"……"

With a cold face, he refused bluntly: "No."

Hikari Ueno was puzzled.

The customer who was about to come out was blocked by two people at the door. He lifted the curtain and looked out with an unhappy expression, and opened his mouth to say something.

Then he shut his mouth the moment he saw the boy at the door clearly, and retracted with an unnatural expression.

After a while, his submissive voice came from behind the curtain: "No, nothing, I'm not in a hurry, you guys talk slowly."

Hikaru Ueno: "..."

lark:"……"

The boy poked his waist with a crutch.

Ueno Hikaru shrank to the side reflexively, and looked over blankly: "?"

The boy shook his head to the side and said, "This way."

He took two steps, saw Ueno Hikaru standing still, frowned and added: "I have something to say."

Hikaru Ueno walked obediently and followed behind him.

The boy kept taking him to a nearby small park with no one there before stopping and looking back at him.

There are swings and slides for children to play in the park, and a thin layer of snow has fallen.

There are also precarious snow hanging on the treetops behind, as if it will fall down when the wind blows.

The boy stood in the snow scene behind him, raised his eyes and looked at him.

Hikaru Ueno asked, "What do you want to say?"

As a result, the person who proposed to talk first fell silent, as if hesitating and didn't know how to speak.

Ueno Hikaru had nothing else to do today, so he stood patiently waiting for him.

After a while, the young man hesitated and opened his mouth. He asked, "Last time you said... that you will be responsible when you see your face. Is that true?"

When he asked this question, he was still glancing at Ueno Hikaru's face which was covered under his collar again.

One glance after another, cautious and blatant.

Ueno Hikaru "?" under his gaze, and thought for a while before realizing that this kid still remembered the excuse he casually mentioned last time.

Of course it's just a story, how can there be such a strange rule in the world of Huangquan.

What's more, looking at the entire Huangquan world, there are very few faceless gods of death except Hikari Ueno.

The remaining "few" basically feel that they look "too much like a god of death".

He shook his head, and said truthfully, "Actually, it's not necessary."

But the boy didn't seem to believe so.

He frowned unhappily when he heard this, as if he felt that Hikaru Ueno was wronging himself by saying that.

Hikaru Ueno pondered.

The old man also said last time that this child is actually kind in nature.

So he should also be a very responsible child.

If this matter is really believed by him...

Hikaru Ueno didn't care about this, whether he explained it clearly or made a mistake, it didn't matter to him.

But looking at the young man's appearance, he felt that if he insisted that the other party should not be responsible, then the child would probably not give up easily.

Yes, it's hard to persuade.

After all, he also lived with three children, so he still has the ability to make judgments.

So Ueno Hikaru hesitated for two seconds, and chose the latter in order not to entangle the other party for too long.

--keep mistake.

He nodded under the young man's "scrutinizing" gaze, and said, "You can take responsibility if you want."

Sure enough, the boy asked him almost without thinking: "What do you need me to do?"

Ueno Hikari responded almost without thinking: "Don't bother me in the future."

This is an answer that kills two birds with one stone.

But the boy's slender and beautiful eyebrows frowned even more.

It seems that he is not satisfied with this request made by Hikaru Ueno.

Hikaru Ueno was a little helpless and asked him, "How do you want to be responsible?"

The young man raised his eyebrows and turned the kidnapper in his hand: "Follow your rules."

Hikaru Ueno: ...We really don't have this rule.

He pondered for a moment, and chose to follow the rules of a certain three children.

"Let me live in your house." He paused, "Raise me for a month."

Although the boy was still unhappy, his brows that were almost together slightly stretched.

Well, is this satisfactory?

Hikaru Ueno tilted his head.

The boy looked at him and confirmed, "A month?"

Ueno nodded.

No more is necessary.

The boy looked at him for a while, then nodded, letting him follow him.

Hikaru Ueno held the undelivered red envelope in one hand and the shopping bag in the other, and followed behind him.

……

The boy took him to a large Japanese-style house.

He lives alone, the house is empty, not to mention the figure, even the furniture and daily necessities are pitifully scarce.

The young man pushed the door open, led him to the yard, and suddenly stopped and looked back at him.

As if he just remembered, he stared at the tree behind Hikaru Ueno and asked him, "What's your name?"

"Ueno Hikari."

After he finished speaking, he paused, and asked the other party out of politeness: "What about you?"

The boy withdrew his gaze, and said quickly, "Kyoya Hibari."

He seemed very uncomfortable introducing himself to others. When he said his name, he had a strange expression and his voice was a bit unnatural.

Hikaru Ueno nodded: "Kyomi."

When he came out of the supermarket, it was getting late, and when Hibari Kyouya brought him here again, it was almost dark.

Today's last round of moon quietly hangs in the sky.

Ueno Hikaru looked down at the red envelope still in his hand, stepped forward, and handed the red envelope to Hibari Kyouya.

"Happy New Year."

Hibari Kyouya froze for a moment, and his expression became even more uncomfortable.

He grabbed the red envelope and whispered back: "Happy New Year."
