After retirement I became a guardian of troubled youth

No matter how many strong men there are, no matter how muscular they are, they are still just ordinary people, and they must be incomparable to Mr. Death.

Hikaru Ueno kept in mind the prohibition of the Underworld, and he didn't really attack them during the whole process, but deftly resolved everyone's offensive, and then used his strength to make them retreat.

The focus is on the psychological oppression that he can easily bring to the other party.

The ten bodyguards brought by the victorious man were almost instantaneous. When all ten of them were forced to retreat and hesitated to step forward, Ueno Hikaru still stood where he was, without even moving his feet, not even breathing. Neither has any change.

Only the long hair hanging behind was lifted up by the wind during the fight, slid an arc in the air and fell obediently.

"Clap clap clap."

The man applauded and stood up, signaling the ten people to return to their original positions.

Hikaru Ueno's eyes fell on the man, and he asked coldly, "I passed?"

The man nodded with a smile, approached him, and praised him without hesitation: "Of course, you are the best person I have ever met so far."

Hikaru Ueno didn't respond.

After being silent for a while, he seemed to feel that it was impolite to say nothing, so he nodded and said "hmm".

The man froze for a moment, then laughed, and said, "He's also the most confident person I've ever met."

"I just wanted you to temporarily serve as my guard during this meeting, but now..." The man looked at him with a smile, his iris-colored eyes showed undisguised admiration.

He took the initiative to send out an invitation: "I hope you can establish a long-term escort relationship with me."

"I heard that you have a younger brother. I will be responsible for all your living expenses, including food, clothing, housing and even your brother's studies. How about it?"

Hikaru Ueno hesitated: "No..."

The man froze, frowned, and asked, "Are you not satisfied with such a condition?"

Hikaru Ueno frowned slightly, thought for a while, and asked, "Does he have to go to school?"

He doesn't understand these rules in the world.

In the Underworld, the newly born Grim Reaper does not need to go to school, and there is not even a school there.

The man laughed, as if he had expected what he was worried about: "I will let him get the best education and protection, just like my son. You don't have to worry about him being bullied at school."

"No."

Hikaru Ueno said: "He's very smart..."

He paused, and said seriously, "It's the kind of intelligence that can educate teachers."

The man froze for a moment, then burst out laughing, patted Ueno Hikaru affectionately on the shoulder, and said, "Then he and Xiuzhi must be very compatible. My son is also very smart, but school education is a must. Think about it carefully." .”

"As an older brother, you should be responsible to your younger brother."

Hikaru Ueno shook his head: "I can't decide."

Man: "You're an older brother."

Hikaru Ueno seeks truth from facts: "But he is more powerful."

man:"?"

The more powerful kid suddenly pushed open the door of this room, followed by another kid.

The two turned their heads to look at the past at the same time, the man walked forward with a smile, bent down and picked up the child behind Luanbu: "Xiu Zhi, why are you here?"

Sitting in the man's arms, the boy turned his head to look at Hikari Ueno, then pointed at Ranbu, and said, "This brother bullied me."

Ranpo widened his eyes in astonishment, felt aggrieved in an instant, grabbed Ueno Hikaru's sleeve: "I didn't!"

The two adults asked at the same time: "How did he bully you?"

"He ate all my candied oranges!"

"He forced me to eat sour candies!"

After the two children finished speaking at the same time, they looked at each other and made faces.

Hikaru Ueno: "But you smell like grapes now."

Mr. Tsushima: "Isn't the orange candy you're holding in your hand?"

Ranbu: "..."

Xiu Zhi: "..."

"Bad boy! You still want me to eat orange candy!"

"Brother smelly! You even ate my glucose!"

The two children turned their heads away at the same time and let out an angrily "hum".

Hikaru Ueno: "..."

Mr. Tsushima: "..."

Ueno Hikaru: "Sorry, I was wrong, he is not very smart."

Random steps:? ? ?

Mr. Tsushima: "Well... it seems that Xiuzhi is also."

Shuji:? ? ?

"He is the only one who is obviously stupid!"

"A little bit~"

"..."

Ueno Hikaru was silent for a moment amidst the two children's "little slightly slightly", bowed to each other, and said, "I will trouble you about going to school with random steps."

Mr. Tsushima nodded: "Don't worry, Xiuzhi just skipped a grade again, so you can let them be classmates."

He looked at Xiao Luanbu and asked, "Your brother should be eleven or twelve years old, right?"

Before Hikaru Ueno could speak, the two children said in unison: "I don't want to go to school!"

The two children who were quarreling just now reached an agreement in an instant.

Shuji: "The little kids in school are stupid."

Ranpo: "The teacher is also stupid."

Shuji: "What you teach is meaningless."

Ranpo: "It's obvious, but everyone doesn't understand it!"

Xiu Zhi: "Yes! You're so stupid!"

Mr. Tsushima smiled: "Look, let me say that they get along very well."

Hikaru Ueno nodded heavily.

So even if the two children were reluctant, they still went to school "hand in hand" on the Monday that turned around.

At first, Mr. Tsushima wanted Ueno Hikaru and Ranpo to move directly to live with them.

The villa of the Tsushima family is very big, not to mention the two of them, even twenty more can live in it.

Moreover, the decoration of the villa is exquisite and luxurious, it is simply a dream paradise.

But Ranbu didn't agree with anything.

Of course, Xiu Zhi disagreed with everything.

The two little friends were always surprisingly consistent in such matters.

Hikaru Ueno didn't care about this, not to mention the living environment of Tsushima house, which was strange and twisted for him, a cave dweller.

So as soon as Ranbu acted like a baby, he immediately rejected Mr. Tsushima's invitation, and after explaining the security work for the next day, he took Ranbu back to their previous home.

Mr. Tsushima took advantage of the rest day to help Ranbu complete the admission procedures. On Monday morning, a low-key luxury car parked downstairs of their house.

When the car arrived, Ranpo, who was wearing a cute and cute light brown school uniform, was waiting for Ueno Hikari to come back from buying breakfast.

He flicked his shoulder strap with his head down, "Crack, crack, crack." Playing it again and again was a joy.

Then the black car stopped in front of him with a swish, the rear window was lowered, and a familiar and annoying child's head poked out of it.

When the child saw him, without saying a word, he stuck out his tongue at him and made a face.

Luanbu stared wide-eyed, and said angrily, "You're childish!"

Then he returned the grimace intact.

"Alright Xiuzhi, call me brother."

Xiu Zhi immediately turned around, looked at the man in the car, and snorted: "I don't want it!"

Luanbu became interested, grabbed the car window and shouted with a smile: "Brother!"

Xiu Zhi: "...a little——"

He just "slightly" halfway, suddenly put away his expression, put on a cute and cute look, raised his face, smiled sweetly with his eyes bent, and softly called out: "Brother~"

Random step: "yue."

After Yue finished, I felt that someone had strangled my destiny by the back of my neck.

"Don't make trouble." Ueno Hikaru gently pinched his neck.

Random step:! ! !

He turned his head abruptly, and gave the cute and cute kid Xiuzhi a hard look.

Mr. Tsushima in the car opened the door for Ranpo, and Hikaru Ueno held the child and put him beside Xiu Zhi.

Ranbu reluctantly kicked his calf, puffed his cheeks and wrinkled his nose at Xiuzhi.

With a picture book spread out on his lap, Xiuzhi looked at him with a smile: "Brother is so cute."

Random steps: "!"

"Humph!"

Mr. Tsushima and Hikaru Ueno had other jobs. Before getting out of the car, he pinched Xiuzhi's soft cheeks and gently asked: "Xiuzhi should be good at school today. I will pick you up after work."

Shuji: "Okay~"

Ranpo's hand reached out from the car window and grabbed Hikari's arm.

"I want you to send me too!"

Hikaru Ueno rubbed his head and looked at Mr. Tsushima.

Mr. Tsushima smiled and said, "Starting tomorrow, I will give you time to send him to school."

Hikaru Ueno nodded, and said to Ranpo, "Okay."

Ranbu: "Yeah!"

He smiled with his eyes bent, shook Ye Guang's arm, and said, "Then it's settled, you will send me to school every day from now on!"

Hikaru Ueno nodded, "Okay."

The Tsushima family has a lot of status in the local political, military and financial circles. Ueno Hikaru followed Mr. Tsushima for a day, and rushed to meetings, large and small, from morning to night.

Mr. Tsushima himself is indeed very capable, and his speeches are incisive and well-received.

At the end of the day, after all the meetings were over, he took Yeguang to a hospital with the best medical conditions in the local area.

On the first day he learned about the situation of the two, Mr. Tsushima used his contacts to transfer Ranbu's parents who were still in a coma to this hospital.

But today he brought Yeguang here, not because Ranpo's parents regained consciousness.

It's because they completely lost their vital signs at 11:54 this morning.

Hikaru Ueno looked down at the bodies of the husband and wife covered under the white cloth, remained silent for a while, then raised his eyes to his colleague leaning against the window, and the young and handsome couple standing cautiously beside the colleague.

The husband held his wife's shoulders and patted them gently. The wife lowered her head and clasped her hands together.

Mr. Tsushima asked from the side: "Do you want to tell Ranpo?"

The wife's soul bit her lip and shook her head beseechingly.

Hikaru Ueno looked at the couple, moved his lips, and uttered a word: "Yes."

"Luanbu is not a child who knows nothing. He has the right to know about his parents."

The wife covered her face, unable to hide the tears overflowing from her soul.

The husband looked up at him, his eyes moved, as if he wanted to say something.

Hikaru Ueno said softly, "Can I trouble you to go out for a while?"

Mr. Tsushima nodded and quietly backed out.

Hikaru Ueno turned his gaze to his colleague.

The colleague swallowed his saliva and disappeared silently.

Hikaru Ueno asked the couple: "What's the matter?"

"Can... help us take care of our children? Ranpo is different from ordinary children, sometimes you have to treat him like an adult...he likes to eat desserts and snacks, but he can't eat too much, he doesn't like to eat Sour and bitter...Birthday is October 10st, I hope you can remember that every year on his birthday, you will give him a detective cake, that is, the top layer of the cake is painted with a detective villain on the top of the cake ..."

The husband babbled a lot.

He is usually not a talkative person, but at this time he seems to be unable to stop. One by one, the things about Luanbu came up from the depths of his memory. In the end, it was his wife who pulled him, and the husband suddenly came back to his senses. He managed to squeeze out an apologetic laugh.

Hikaru Ueno shook his head and said, "I remember it all." Then he looked at his wife.

His wife looked at him and didn't speak for a long time.

Ueno Hikaru did not urge, just stood there, waiting quietly.

After a long time, the woman cautiously said with a trembling voice, "Can you... let my child live well?"

Hikaru Ueno stared at her slightly.

"I... nothing else. I just want to make random steps, be happy, and live longer." She raised her eyes, looked at Hikari Ueno cautiously, and asked tentatively, "Is it okay?"

Hikaru Ueno didn't speak, and shrank his fingertips hidden in his sleeves.

"First, sir—"

"I'm sorry, it's time." The god of death who had just left suddenly appeared and interrupted his wife's words.

Grim Reaper looked at Shang Yeguang and said, "I have to take them away."

Ueno nodded.

"Sir—" his wife called him again.

Hikaru Ueno didn't respond, and lowered his gaze.

The god of death held the couple's shoulders and took them away together.

From the last moment before leaving this world, the god of death suddenly looked over and took a deep look at Ueno Hikaru.

That night, Mr. Tsushima took Ranpo to the hospital.

The child was calmer and calmer than they had imagined. Wearing a black suit, he and the two adults took care of their parents' funeral in an orderly manner.

Cremation, burial, contacting relatives and friends of the deceased, holding a funeral...

Hikaru Ueno watched the 11-year-old child calmly handle everything, as if he had changed into a different person overnight.

His parents were right, Ranpo is not like a normal kid, and sometimes, you need to treat him like an adult.

But he was still a child after all.

On the night when everything was settled, a child in black sat hugging his knees by the window, with his head buried between his knees. After a long silence, he moved a little bit to Ueno's side and grabbed his clothes.

Hikaru Ueno: "What's wrong?"

The child was silent for a while, then said sullenly, "Sleep with me."

Hikaru Ueno froze for a moment.

"Sleep with me!" The child's voice was a little louder, with a crying voice, "Mom will sleep with me every night and tell me bedtime stories!"

From seeing Ranpo in the hospital to now, this is the first time Ueno Hikaru has seen him cry.

Burying her head in his arms, hugging his waist, tears soaked her clothes.

The grievance and sadness in the crying almost overflowed.

Ueno Hikaru sat there blankly and let him hold him, at a loss.

In the middle of the night, the child was tired from crying and fell asleep in his arms.

The moonlight from outside the window shone in, enveloping the little figure.

After an unknown amount of time, someone knocked on the window suddenly.

"Dong dong."

Hikaru Ueno was startled, recovered, and looked out the window blankly.

A boy-like Grim Reaper floated outside the window, looking a little embarrassed.

This god of death, code-named 1126, is the latest batch of new gods of death.

The new god of death is not responsible for harvesting souls and other tasks, but is responsible for the official death of Kakino Hikaru to pass the task.

The person in charge of Hikaru Ueno's mission this time is 1126.

Ueno Hikaru and the young Shinigami met their gazes, let go of their random steps lightly, and went out through the window.

"That..." 1126 lowered his head and stuffed a note into his hand.

"This is a warning from the Eye of the Underworld." He murmured,

"Let you finish the mission within half a month."
