After retirement I became a guardian of troubled youth

After that "big surprise", Kid Kuroba Kaito probably did settle down for a while.

Hikaru Ueno secretly asked Aoko several times while the children were not paying attention.

Kid Aoko always tells him that Kaito is very good lately.

Ueno Hikaru gradually felt relieved and stopped asking.

As for academic performance.

Kaito and his Shinigami brother never care about these things.

Facts have proved that Kaidou children who also don't care about these things are because they have enough strength, so they don't care.

Hikari Ueno didn't understand, but he was quite happy.

Take the children to eat chocolate ice cream when the weather is still cold.

double ball.

Starting from March 3th, Kaito and his school have a spring break.

The two-week vacation brought the children a lot of joy.

Children always have a lot of tricks. Three or four people get together and play for a whole day, leaving all the adults in the family behind.

But occasionally, these "lonely" adults will still be remembered by them.

For example, some special moments that require "far travel".

A novelist that Kaito Kuroba likes very much will hold a book signing event in Tokyo today.

The signing event will only be held in Tokyo, Kaito wants to experience it anyway, and ask for an autograph by the way.

In the afternoon after learning the news, he tortured him... for 2 minutes before Hikari Ueno let go.

When making dinner afterwards, Ueno Hikaru also reflected on why he always agreed to some children's requests so easily.

He thought for a while while cutting the fish on the chopping board, and finally he could only attribute it to the fact that a certain Kaidou kid was really good at it.

Oh yes, although Kaito children have an unspeakable fear of fish, but because the Nakamori father and daughter like this kind of thing very much, when the four of them have dinner together, they will occasionally eat fish.

……

Hikaru Ueno put the prepared breakfast on the table and turned to open the door for Nakamori and his daughter.

With his messy hair on his head, Kaito yawned with his head up, saline eyes glistening in the corners of his eyes, he walked to the dining table with half-closed eyes, and pulled out the chair.

Aoko Nakamori rolled up today's newspaper and tapped him gently on the head, asking when he fell asleep last night.

Mr. Nakamori advised Ueno Hikari to watch Kaito carefully.

Something like "children at this age are growing their bodies, and if they don't get enough rest, they will become dwarfs in the future".

In short, while reminding Hikari Ueno, he also frightened Kaito openly and secretly.

However, Xiao Kaito, who firmly believes that he will be 180 tall in the future, never accepts him.

Hikari Ueno, who doesn't need to sleep at night, doesn't like this very much.

Mr. Nakamori's persuasion was fruitless, he sighed worriedly, sat down beside Aoko, and opened a can of beer.

Kokaito tapped his newspaper with Aoko to perform magic tricks, and stuck out his tongue to advise Mr. Nakamori to "drink moderately when you are old".

Mr. Nakamori immediately exploded, holding Kaito's head across the table, wanting to teach some ignorant bastard child a lesson.

Ueno Hikaru looked at them helplessly, lowered his head to avoid being affected, sandwiched the fried egg into the slice of bread, and took the first bite of breakfast.

This is their daily routine.

Simple, ordinary, and happy.

This is the life Hikaru Ueno has always wanted to experience.

After all, with great power comes great responsibility.

He doesn't aspire to how great his brothers are, and he doesn't care if they "make it big."

As Mr. Tsushima once said.

He only hopes that the teenager can be healthy, safe, happy and joyful.

add one more.

He hoped that teenagers would always be teenagers.

Something cool suddenly stuck to his face, Hikaru Ueno was stunned for a moment, then regained consciousness in a trance, and looked at Kaito.

The kid was holding a can of iced Coke and was looking at him dissatisfied.

"It's time to eat, what are you thinking about?"

Hikaru Ueno shook his head and chuckled, and put the cold back of his hand against Kaito's cheek.

Then he laughed again when he saw the child being iced for a while but didn't dare to show it too obviously.

A tooth for a tooth.

He knew that his body temperature was lower than that of ordinary people.

But that doesn't really matter.

This is his world, he wants to live here and live here.

As for what other people think of him...

Well.

As long as his younger brother treats him as family, he doesn't care much about the rest.

He rubbed the kid's messy hair and told him to eat quickly.

The signing session starts at ten o'clock in the morning, if it drags on, they will be late.

Kaito puffed up his cheeks, let out a long "Oh—" and accelerated his eating speed.

After dinner, Mr. Nakamori sent Aoko to a hobby class, and then he had to go to work.

Ueno Hikaru and Kaito packed up the table together, and drove to the signing event in Tokyo.

Although the injury on his back has been healed, Kaito still has lingering fears about his previous two situations, and he won't let him use his ability again.

Therefore, they usually choose the normal way of travel now.

Ueno Hikaru was not a means of transportation adapted to human beings at the beginning. When he got out of the car for the first time, his face became even paler, and he was unable to walk while holding on to Kaito's shoulder.

He savored it.

I feel that this is no different from those messy entertainment facilities that accompanied Xiuzhi back then, even more excruciating than that.

After all, this time is long.

Kaito was terrified by Ueno Hikaru's miserable look at that time.

Of course, it later became a rare shortcoming that Brother Death can laugh at.

However, after riding more times, Hikari Ueno gradually got used to it, and now the discomfort reaction is very small.

It made Xiao Kaito "regret" for a long time.

From Ekota to Tokyo, and then transferred from the station to the signing event.

The two of them went out at eight o'clock, and it was just after ten o'clock when they arrived.

The venue for the signing was very noisy, and the host was already standing on the stage holding a microphone.

This well-known novelist is very popular, and he only held the only signing event in Tokyo. Of course, there are many fans at the scene.

Many of them came from far away from other cities.

There are even some unfamiliar and familiar Osaka accents.

Ueno Hikaru and Kaito almost stood on the outermost layer because they had finished coming.

Kaito raised his head and looked around, curious about this place.

The host on the stage tried the sound test, and the loudspeaker made a sharp sound.

Ueno frowned and covered his ears.

The venue also fell silent in an instant.

Kaito stretched his neck and stood on tiptoe to look around for a while, curled his lips, and tugged on Hikari's clothes.

Ueno Hikaru looked down at him, guessed what the kid meant before he even opened his mouth, hugged him up, leaned close to his ear and asked, "Can you see it?"

Kaito nodded vigorously while holding the book, and turned his head to show him a big smile.

Ueno Hikaru also rolled his eyes.

The well-known novelist is Yusaku Kudo, who is famous all over the world for his rigorous and readable mystery novels.

Kaito has always enjoyed his stories, especially the one that just came out recently.

It is a story about a famous detective and a magician phantom thief.

On the basis of reasoning, many more wonderful magical elements have been added. Magic makes this story bizarre and reasonable.

There is no real protagonist in this story, and there is no winner between the magician, the thief and the famous detective in the end.

At the end of the story, the two jumped up and down the lighthouse together, and below them was the deep sea reflecting the moonlight.

Many people are asking about the true ending of this story, about the final fate of the two people.

But in the face of these problems, Mr. Yusaku Kudo just laughed them off.

He said this ending was the best ending for the story.

The story about the strange thief and the famous detective is far from over, and their future fate is unpredictable.

However, Yusaku Kudo will no longer write a sequel about them.

The mature and elegant man put his index finger to his lips.

"It's a secret."

It caused a large group of little fans below to scream.

Mr. Yusaku's little fan Kaito turned his head away and "cut" to express his disdain for his colleagues.

Kaito's favorite character is naturally the unrestrained and mysterious magician and phantom thief.

The story of the strange thief not only fascinated him, but also provided him with a lot of new magic inspiration.

This is also the reason why he wanted to come and see what he said this time.

Mr. Yusaku Kudo, who can write such wonderful stories and create such plump characters, must also be quite accomplished in magic.

After the question-and-answer session, a long queue formed in the arena, a bunch of people holding books and waiting for autographs. The long queue turned several corners in the middle, like a fast gameover snake.

Kaito was led by Hikaru Ueno to stand in the second half of the line, looking around at other booths.

The original works and various peripherals are displayed on the large and small stalls.

Suddenly, Kaito's eyes lit up, he pulled Ye Guang, and pointed to a certain stall.

The stalls were filled with small figurines, among them Kaito's favorite magician Phantom Thief.

Xiao Kaito shook his hand, looking at him eagerly like a baby.

Hikaru Ueno tilted his head, looked away, and asked, "Want?"

Kaito nodded vigorously.

Hikaru Ueno was a little embarrassed: "But now we are queuing."

"It's okay!" Kaito pressed the book into his arms, smiling brightly, "I can go there by myself!"

Hikaru Ueno thought for a moment, then nodded in agreement.

In their family, such a thing as "adults manage money" is not very established.

Whether living with the past four children or Kaito, Hikaru Ueno is able to allow children to achieve financial freedom within their ability.

Hikaru Ueno watched Kaito running to that booth, turned his gaze, and suddenly found a kid on the other side going there.

A little boy who is about Kaito's age and looks a bit like Kaito.

Ueno Hikaru couldn't help feeling interested, and stared at the child for a while longer.

The people behind pushed his shoulders, urging him to move forward a little.

Ueno Hikaru responded, looked away, and obediently followed the person in front.

Then he turned his gaze back again.

In just a few seconds, the two children had already bumped into each other.

They stood in front of the booth, stared at each other for a few seconds, and then said "Ah!" at the same time.

Looking surprised and a little bit happy.

Probably because I accidentally met peers who are more compatible with each other.

The two children are not introverted, so they quickly chatted together.

The arena was in a mess, and Hikaru Ueno couldn't hear what the two of them were talking about.

But judging by their expressions, the two children were very happy, leaning against the side of the booth and chatting enthusiastically, as if they had forgotten their original purpose.

Hikaru Ueno felt relieved and raised the corners of his mouth, as if he was infected by those two children and became a little happy.

The person behind pushed him impatiently again.

"Well."

Ueno Hikaru looked back a little sorry, and went forward to catch up with the team.

Speaking of noisy venues.

The tall and thick man in the back is a big part of this "noisy".

He was already close to Hikari Ueno, and he was still talking on the phone with a loud voice, which made Hikari Ueno feel that he would be deafened by this person from time to time.

Holding the book in his arms, Ueno Hikaru sighed helplessly, secretly used his ability without telling Kaito, and added a protective film to his ears to filter out too noisy sounds from the outside world.

Anyway, he doesn't need to listen to Kaito now, it's better not to listen to these messy voices.

This time, Ueno Hikaru didn't let the person behind him urge him to catch up with the team in front of him in time, and then turned his head to look at the two teenagers who had a good conversation over there.

The result... I don't know if I don't look at it, but I was shocked when I saw it.

The two children who were chatting enthusiastically when they looked back last time, now they are arguing in full swing when they look back this time.

Hikaru Ueno looked blank: "..."

He didn't quite understand.

Is it true that children's friendships come like lightning and go like hurricanes?

Hikaru Ueno looked around, but didn't find any adult who seemed to be the child's parent.

The person behind happened to push him forward again.

This time Ueno Hikaru didn't use him to push, and went out of the team by himself.

The two children were arguing fiercely, and they seemed evenly matched, and it was difficult to tell the winner in a short time.

Before Hikaru Ueno tried to persuade the fight, he listened to a brief passage and figured out why the two children were arguing.

simply speaking.

It's just tearing each other apart.

Kaito Kuroba is a fanatical fan of the magician Kaito, while the kid on the opposite side is a loyal fan of the famous detective.

Thus, a fierce quarrel of the century kicked off.

"A thief is just a thief no matter what!"

"What kind of detective is he, but he's just a picky guy who follows behind the phantom thief!"

And so on.

The two children argued for a while, and Kaito suddenly took out the playing cards that he always carried with him.

The child on the opposite side snorted coldly and watched his performance with his arms crossed.

This battle situation seems to have entered a white-hot stage.

Started to do it.

Hikaru Ueno stood by the side, watching the deck of playing cards dexterously flipping in Kaito's hands, admired it for a while, and decided that he would not try to persuade the fight.

"Magician Thief" and "Detective" fight, can that be called a fight?

It must not be possible.

Apparently, the other onlookers who gradually approached thought so too.

They watched Kaidou curiously playing flower cutting in the air, and from time to time let out a burst of neat exclamation.

The playing cards were spread out on the table, Kaito smiled and started his magic show.

So there was another burst of surprise.

Hikaru Ueno looked on and felt very proud.

But the kid detective on the opposite side is obviously different.

With a serious expression on his face, he watched this small magic show seriously, not letting go of a single detail.

Hikaru Ueno looked at it and felt that this kid was also quite cute.

If he wanted to, he could actually understand Kaito's magic tricks.

After all, he is the god of death who has lived for such a long time, and he is not in the same rank as ordinary people.

However, compared to the "manipulation", Hikaru Ueno wants to experience this kind of surprise and fun, especially the appearance of Kaito when he is performing magic tricks.

Confident, happy, highly contagious.

This kind of kid who doesn't care about the charm of magic at all, but only cares about magic itself.

Still quite rare.

A magic is done.

Kaito grinned and took out the King of Hearts that was still in his hand a second ago from the clothes hat of the kid opposite.

The crowd applauded and applauded.

The kid on the other side snorted coldly, pulled out the card from Kaito, and exposed his tricks calmly and confidently.

The crowd applauded and applauded again.

Kaito was stunned for a moment, staring at the child in surprise for a few seconds, his eyes suddenly lit up with the desire to win.

A set of more complex and beautiful magic tricks is presented in front of everyone.

This time the little detective was lost in thought, but he still gave an answer.

The crowd... the crowd feels like it's getting tired of being amazed.

Kaito was naturally unconvinced, and showed the third set of magic tricks.

This time, Detective Xiaoming took a little longer to think.He rested his chin, stared at Kaito and the deck of cards in his hand, thought for a while, and opened his mouth to say something.

However, the boy's next words were interrupted by a sudden scream.

The surrounding crowd was startled by the sound.

The two children looked at the source of the sound vigilantly at the same time.

The crowd around the two people gradually dispersed, and the scene that caused the screams happened to be presented in front of the two children.

A rough man lay on the ground with a painful expression, and a young girl stood not far away, covering her mouth and staring wide-eyed in surprise.

Obviously, it was the girl who yelled that sound just now.

Mr. Yusaku Kudo has also left from the signing office and came to this man.

He calmly checked the man's breath and asked the people around him to call the police.

Then Yusaku Kudo raised his head and looked at the two children who were surrounded by the crowd just now.

The two children recovered from the shock.

He waved at them.

Hikaru Ueno was startled, but before he could react, he saw that the little detective had already run to the side of the great writer.

Standing together, one big and one small, Ueno Hikaru suddenly discovered that the two people looked very similar.

Obviously a father and son.

The next second, someone tugged at his sleeve.

Hikaru Ueno looked down, meeting Kaito's eyes.

The kid had already put away the playing cards, and put one hand in his trouser pocket to pretend to be cool, but his mouth was tightly pursed, and his expression was rare and serious.

He awkwardly told Ueno Hikaru that he wanted to go and have a look.

Hikaru Ueno thought for a while and asked, "Are you going to continue competing with that boy?"

Kuroba Kaito muttered something vaguely.

Ueno Hikaru didn't fully understand, but in short, he disliked the words of the little detective.

But a certain kid was disgusted with his mouth, but his body leaned towards him honestly.

Ueno Hikaru followed him and looked at the dead man.

He was slightly taken aback, and suddenly felt that this person looked familiar.

It seems to be... the man standing behind him when he was in line just now.

This place is not very far from the police station, and soon the siren sounded outside the door, and several policemen pushed the door in, leaving everyone behind and settling them down.

"Hey, detective~" Kaito poked a certain kid who was resting his chin in thought, and called him rudely.

The kid looked over anxiously.

"Would you like to have a competition?" Kaito asked in a low voice, "See if only a detective can solve such a mystery."

Hikaru Ueno and Yusaku Kudo looked down at the two children at the same time.

The kid detective squinted his eyes and snorted coldly in a childish voice.

"I can't ask for it."
