After retirement I became a guardian of troubled youth

Xiao Kaito didn't say a word the whole time, and angrily and carefully helped Ueno Hikaru treat the wound on his back, and by the way, he lifted up all his long hair that was in the way, covering the face of a restless brother Shinigami.

His brother Death God, who knew he was wrong, stopped making any noise, and let him play with him silently, humming softly from time to time because of being touched and hurting the wound.

There are not many bandages in the house.

Hikaru Ueno's wound cracked this time, and he used up all the remaining bandages.

Kaito knelt on one knee on the edge of the sofa, tied a bow around his waist, and poked him there hard.

Hikaru Ueno grabbed the pillow and snorted again.

Kaito pouted and stood up.

It's not that he wanted to poke the opponent's waist on purpose, it's really... other than here, he has no other place to attack.

The large and small wounds on his back were too hideous, and he was terrified when he applied medicine to people, let alone poked them.

He bent down, lifted Ueno Hikaru's hair, and asked fiercely with a small face, "Do you dare to do this in the future?"

Hikaru Ueno shook his head obediently.

"Knowing that I was injured, I ran out to mess around." Kuaito Kuaito was still angry, and pinched the tip of his nose, "What an important matter that made you come to the living room and toss yourself like this ?”

Hikaru Ueno blinked slightly, concealed part of the point, and explained: "Waiting for you."

In his voice, there was a sense of powerlessness after injury, and in order to "please" a child who was still angry, he deliberately lowered the volume.

It sounded like she was being wronged and acted like a baby.

Kaito's hand shaking his hair trembled, he sighed helplessly, and seemed to be directly laughed at by him in the end.

Hikaru Ueno looked at him carefully and asked, "Are you not angry?"

"I'm angry. I'm going to the next door for dinner, and you just lie down here and reflect on yourself." Kaito straightened his face again, ignored the pile of things on the floor, and left him on the sofa.

Hikaru Ueno let out a "hmm", nestled in the pillow and watched the child leave, stood up from the sofa with his hands propped up, and picked up a copy of "Chocolate, I Do This" thrown under the coffee table.

This was accidentally dropped when making chocolates before. Both of them wanted to pick it up after finishing it, but in the end they just forgot there after finishing it.

It wasn't until Ueno Hikaru was lying on his stomach just now that he inadvertently turned his head to look.

Good guy, scared him all over.

He didn't know whether Xiao Kaidou had read the book, after all, the kid didn't act like he had discovered it.

But with the observation skills of this little magician... such an obvious book, he shouldn't be unable to discover it.

He hesitated holding the book, and pushed the book under the sofa.

What if Kokaito was really so mad at him that he didn't notice this thing at all.

Hikaru Ueno sat on the sofa, crossed his hands on his chin, lost in thought.

If the chocolate is really discovered, he has to find a way to prepare another "little surprise" for the children.

Well, it might be an "apology gift" by the way.

After all, no matter what form he appears on the scene, Kaito will definitely be angry because of his "not caring about his body".

Today it's just going from the bedroom to the living room, it's that fierce.

Tomorrow he will go directly to school, maybe a certain kid will want to break up with him directly.

But he doesn't seem to have anything to give now.

Ueno is distressed, trying to think about what else he can do now, and what he has now.

Almost every option was passed for various reasons.

Hikaru Ueno crossed his hands on his chin, and was silent for a moment, thinking about the last thing he had.

——…He couldn’t give Xiao Kuai Dou his four older brothers?

……

Xiao Kaito was probably worried that he was messing around again, and it didn't take long to go to the next door to eat.

When he opened the door and entered, he happened to meet Hikari Ueno who was sitting on the sofa.

The child raised his eyebrows, his gaze carried a look of scrutiny.

Hikaru Ueno's thoughts stopped, and under Kaito's gaze, he tilted his body little by little, and lay down on the sofa again.

Looking just as well-behaved as when he left.

Xiao Kuai Dou walked to the edge of the sofa with a dull face, and asked, "What did you want to do just now?"

Hikaru Ueno immediately shook his head and cast a sincere look at the child.

He really didn't want to go anywhere.

It's just……

"I'm tired, sit down for a while."

"...Oh." Xiao Kuaidou looked indifferent, "Then why don't you continue to sit?"

Ueno Hikaru grabbed the pillow and thought about it, tilted his head to look at him, and said tentatively, "Would you be happier lying on your stomach?"

Kuroba Kaito...

Kuroba Kaito had nothing to do with him.

He didn't quite understand why the relationship between the two of them seemed to be completely reversed now.

It seems that Ueno Hikaru is the naughty ten-year-old kid, and he is a "parent" who worries about every day until his head goes bald.

Kaito's parents couldn't take it anymore, and after sitting on the sofa and letting them rest for a while, they directly helped Ueno Hikaru back to the bedroom.

Of course, back to Kaito's bedroom.

Kuroba Kaito is very worried about Ueno Hikaru now.

Who knows if this guy will toss himself on a whim in the middle of the night.

He can only cut off all possibilities in the embryonic stage.

In the middle of the night, Xiao Kaidou curled up in his arms and grabbed his collar, as if he was still asleep.

Hikaru Ueno felt the boy's breath gradually becoming long, hesitated for a while, and tentatively spoke softly, asking, "Do you mind if I go out tomorrow?"

Although Xiao Kaidou had almost fallen asleep, his brain still seemed to be thinking about his injury. Hearing this, he shrank into his arms and said clearly, "No!"

It didn't sound like he was asleep at all.

Hikaru Ueno: "..."

If he behaves better tomorrow and acts like a spoiled child, will the children forgive him?

……

As it turned out, by the next day, it wasn't easy to say who forgave anyone.

In order to give the children a complete surprise, the homeroom teacher did not let the parents into the classroom directly, but asked them to wait outside the door.

The parents were also very cooperative, standing in two rows outside the door without saying a word, only a few tall ones couldn't bear the curiosity, and secretly tiptoed to look into the classroom through the high window.

Hikari Ueno in a wheelchair and Mr. Nakamori standing behind him are two special cases in the neat queue.

Hikaru Ueno sat at the end of the line, and happened to be able to see a little bit of what was going on in the classroom through the back.

But he doesn't want to wait and see now.

Hikaru Ueno was holding two pieces of exquisitely packaged chocolates in his arms, holding his hands together, putting them on his lap obediently, staring at the floor tiles with his head down, expecting and nervous.

Of course, more nervous.

He was afraid that a certain kid would be very angry when he came to school like this.

Hikaru Ueno pinched his fingers and took a deep breath.

He silently recited in his mind the plan of "asking for forgiveness" that he had been thinking about all night.

In short, the core is two key words: acting like a baby and pretending to be good.

He is not sure whether Kaito Kuroba will eat or not.

But Ueno Hikaru himself is quite good at this.

In the past, no matter how much trouble certain children caused, as long as they pretended to be obedient and coquettish, Ueno Hikaru would not be angry with them immediately.

——Although on the surface, he may still have a cold and fierce appearance.

pretend to be good.

behave in a spoiled manner.

Hikaru Ueno recited it silently in his heart again, and looked up at Mr. Nakamori.

The parents in front were already in a little commotion, and it is estimated that it is almost the time agreed by the teacher and them.

Now is the second class for the children today, which happens to be mathematics, and the mathematics teacher of the children also happens to be their class teacher.

Many children sat obediently in their seats, straightened their backs and concentrated their attention.

Of course, it is undeniable that some children learned about today's "surprise" in advance, so they plan to perform well in front of their parents.

However, obviously, there are well-behaved ones, and naturally there are not so well-behaved ones.

Although such children are very few, they are particularly eye-catching in this class.

While Hikaru Ueno was looking at Mr. Nakamori, Mr. Nakamori who had been peeking into the classroom just now happened to be looking down at him.

Hikaru Ueno looked at him, and suddenly felt a little subtle in the man's eyes...

embarrassment?

He frowned slightly, and was about to ask what was going on, when he was suddenly interrupted by a roar in the classroom.

The roar came from the children's math teacher.

The voice is loud and clear.

And it didn't say anything.

All the parents waiting at the door heard this clearly.

even.

Hikaru Ueno, who was hard of hearing, covered his ears silently, thinking, the class in the entire corridor probably heard the honking.

The overly clear "Kuroba Kaito!!!" lingered in the corridor, accompanied by repeated echoes, which could not dissipate for a long time.

Ueno Hikaru hesitated for a moment, and asked Mr. Nakamori: "He is usually at school... Isn't he very good?"

Why make the teacher so angry.

Mr. Nakamori scratched his head in embarrassment and said, "I don't know either."

Although he had indeed watched the whole process just now, it was really inconvenient to explain this matter to the family members of the person involved.

He hesitated for a moment, pointed to the back door of the classroom, and asked, "Why don't you take a look for yourself?"

Hikaru Ueno frowned slightly, nodding his thanks.

Mr. Nakamori waved his hands again and again, pushing him towards the back door of the classroom.

Hikaru Ueno raised his eyes and looked inward, taking in most of the classroom.

This "receipt" just happened to receive the key content.

Little Kuaidou was sitting on the cabinet in the last row of the classroom, with one leg stepping on the edge of the cabinet, and the other leg hanging down naturally, shaking slightly, looking very uncomfortable.

With an almost mischievous smile on his face, he looked like a...

A bad boy who was common in Bingsheng before Ueno Hikari.

A bit ruffian, but with a bit of sunshine and vitality unique to this age.

Sunshine and vitality.

Hikaru Ueno pinched his brows lightly.

I suspect that I already have a thick filter for this kid.

After all, there seems to be no child whose "sunshine and vitality" looks like this.

In the classroom at this time, feathers were flying one after another, almost covering the entire classroom like heavy snow.

There is a semicircular shell with four petals on the ceiling.

Obviously, these feathers fell from the two huge balls.

And the culprit of this incident was naturally a certain kid Kaito Kuroba who was smiling happily at this moment.

"That..." Mr. Nakamori hesitated for a moment, really didn't know what to say, so he could only continue to shut his mouth in embarrassment.

The other parents also saw this scene through the windows and doors, and they were all stunned by this eclectic kid.

Ueno Hikaru, Ueno Hikaru's expression is a little hard to describe.

A minute ago, he was still worried about how he would save Kaidou after he got angry.

After 1 minute, he began to worry about how he would explain it to himself for Xiao Kaidou.

In Kaidou's narration after returning from school every day, he has always been a good student with excellent academic performance and getting along well with his classmates.

From time to time, I do a magic trick for the students to adjust the boring study life, and deepen the friendship with the students by the way.

But now it seems.

Hikari Ueno did not know about his academic performance.

He is not sure about whether he gets along with his classmates or not.

But Kaito Kuroba had indeed told him "truthfully" about the "magic transformation".

And this magic is still big and dazzling.

The day when Kaito Kuroba becomes the great magician that attracts the attention of the whole school is just around the corner.

Hikaru Ueno smiled, raised his hand, and pushed open the back door.

A certain misbehaving child is completely exposed in front of him now.

Hearing the sound of the door opening, Kuroba Kaito turned around suspiciously.

Just happened to meet Ueno Hikaru's eyes.

The boy's unrestrained smile suddenly disappeared, and his body shook as if he had been greatly frightened, and he fell directly from the cabinet.

Hikaru Ueno's heart tightened, and he wanted to get up subconsciously, and then he thought of something, and his movements suddenly stopped.

Fortunately, a certain kid who is a future great magician can respond in a timely manner, his body is flexible enough, and his motor nerves are developed enough.

The moment his body turned upside down, he suddenly lifted his calf to hook the partition of the cabinet, and then put his hands on the ground.

A very handsome turn over, jumped up directly.

It should be like this.

But Kid Kaito accidentally forgot in his desperation that there were still feathers he had just shed on the ground.

So a certain kid who hadn't finished playing handsome swayed and sat directly on the ground.

There was uncontrollable laughter in the classroom.

Xiao Kaidou propped his hands on the ground, maintaining his "poker face", actually feeling very embarrassed.

With a smile on his face, he couldn't stop secretly glancing at Hikaru Ueno.

With this glance, he met the young man's half playful and half sullen eyes.

So the "poker face" and the "curtain ceremony" were all forgotten in an instant, and Kaito quickly got up from the ground, ran to the side of the wheelchair, grabbed the armrest on it, and looked at Hikari Ueno pitifully.

"……elder brother."

It's a simple word, and it feels like being called out thousands of times by a child.

Some are cautious, some are coquettish, some are begging, and it is still at the end...

Vaguely brought a little gas.

Hikaru Ueno: "..."

Feeling helpless, inexplicably guilty, he pursed his lips and rubbed the child's hair.

No parent or student could have imagined that today's surprise could be such a surprise.

Of course, including the teacher who was still angry at this time.

She had made a lot of plans for today, including the meeting between parents and children, including the exchange of gifts, as well as lessons and games together.

but!

Now, all her careful planning has been ruined by the troublemaker Kuroba Kaito from the first step.

She squeezed the chalk, took a deep breath, tried to calm down her anger, and then withdrew a stiff smile to smooth things over and asked the parents to sit with their children.

And shut a certain pair of brothers out.

She is well aware that now the brothers need some adequate "alone time" to work out their entangled conflicts.

But these are family affairs, what does it have to do with her mediocre math teacher?

She put on a smile, calmed down, and looked at other students and parents in the classroom.

Then I saw the feathers all over the ground at a glance.

and two cracked balls on the ceiling.

Math teacher cracked.

She opened the door and shouted outside: "Kuroba Kaito!!! Come in and clean up the classroom!!!"

"..."

After three seconds of silence, she was embarrassed to find that there was no one in the corridor.

And a certain pair of brothers who urgently need to deal with conflicts are now strolling on the school playground.

Of course, Kaito Kuroba pushed Ueno Hikari who was in a wheelchair.

The atmosphere is a little awkward now.

For a while, neither of them made a sound.

The main reason is that they are both angry at the other party for being misbehaving, and feel a little sorry for their own misbehavior.

Ueno Hikaru was pushed by Kaito for a while, silently raised his hand, and handed the piece of chocolate that he had been holding in his arms to the boy behind him.

The wheelchair stopped suddenly.

Hikaru Ueno held up the chocolate and found that the other party hadn't received it for a long time, so he couldn't help feeling a little worried.

He was about to look back, when the chocolate in his hand was taken away suddenly, a warm embrace came from behind, wrapping around his shoulder through the wheelchair.

The boy's head was resting against his neck.

The cheeks where the hair brushed were a little itchy.

Ueno Hikari tilted his head slightly uncomfortably, and the boy's helpless chuckle came from close by his ear.

"Brother." Kaito said like a spoiled child.

"Ok?"

"I'll be good in the future, and I won't make trouble casually." Kuai Dou paused, and then said, "Be good too, don't make me worry so much, okay?"

He turned his head to meet Ueno's eyes.

The boy's clear sapphire blue eyes overflowed with sincerity.

Hikaru Ueno narrowed his eyes unconsciously, feeling that the bright color seemed to have been swaying to his heart, floating gently somewhere.

He rubbed the boy's hair and said, "OK."

Kaito smiled with his eyes bent, tore open the package of chocolate, and pushed a piece to Ueno Hikaru's lips.

"Come, let's taste it together~"

Hikaru Ueno blinked, and opened his mouth to meet the boy's expectant gaze.

The chocolate slides into the mouth and gradually slides away.

A little bit of bitterness and full of sweetness exploded on the taste buds.

The sudden taste began to spread from the tip of the tongue, sweeping the whole soul in an instant.

Hikaru Ueno was stunned for a moment, then suddenly opened his eyes wide, and the light in his pupils moved slightly.

It seems that someone threw a stone into the ancient well, which caused waves.

Kaito broke off the second piece and put it in his mouth, leaned down, and asked him vaguely, "Is it delicious?"

There was a smile in the boy's eyes, reflecting the clear sunlight and the shadow of Ueno.

Ueno Hikaru and Kaito looked at each other, and together they bent their eyes and nodded heavily.

The tip of the tongue carefully touched the softened piece of chocolate, and the familiar and unfamiliar taste was once again overwhelming.

He said very quickly and softly: "It's delicious."

It seems that I am afraid of letting that taste out of my mouth.

- very delicious.
