After retirement I became a guardian of troubled youth

The remaining third of the zoo is visited by three people together.

Of course, this time it didn't become a mess like when I was a child.

But after all, there are Nakahara Chuya and Dazai Osamu.

A little confusion is inevitable.

For example, arguing about whether a certain silly little bird bouncing above their heads looks like the other.

Or if Hikaru Ueno was not paying attention, one of them almost entered the enclosure to dance with the elephant.

Or, naively grabbing the same marshmallow, and then in the process of fighting, the whole marshmallow fell into the pool and disappeared.

Anyway.

Osamu Dazai: A certain slug is hopeless, why not just donate it to the zoo.

Nakahara Chuya: If it wasn't for my brother, the ambulance would have come to this zoo long ago.

Hikaru Ueno: Reunited after a long absence, the younger brothers are still very close.I am in a good mood and very happy.

With very different moods, the three boarded a taxi home at sunset.

Nakahara Nakaya opened the car door very naturally, watched Dazai Osamu suddenly appear from behind Hikaru Ueno with a calm face, and got into the back seat first.

Then he took him out with a blank face.

Ueno Hikaru looked at this scene and thought it was amazing.

Obviously, Zhong is also a section shorter than Xiuzhi.

But in fact, when Chuya mentioned Shuji, it took no effort at all.

It seems that what he is carrying in his hand is not a big living person close to 1.8 meters, but just a roll of small bandages.

He pulled the small bandage out of the back seat and flung it back to Hikaru Ueno.

Nakahara Chuya leaned halfway on the car door, gave Osamu Dazai a dispensable look, and raised his eyebrows casually, as if he had long been used to such things.

"Brother, sit first." He tugged Ye Guang's sleeves, and his behavior looked very decent.

It's the kind of gentlemanly feeling that can easily attract little girls.

It feels like a mature boy.

Hikaru Ueno rolled his eyes and got into the car without any excuses.

Nakahara Zhong also raised his hand, placed it on top of his head, and then logically followed him into the car.

In the next second, Zhong Yuanzhong also seemed to be pulled by something suddenly, and he leaned back and let the door open again.

Osamu Dazai loosened his collar, adjusted his own collar slowly, and bowed into the back seat.

Even if there is a huge disparity in strength.

He still has the strength to pull people off.

What's more, it is still a small Central Plains.

Then he got caught too.

Hikaru Ueno was sitting in the car, watching the two people chattering in front of the taxi after "you sing and we come on stage".

The driver in front was panicked by the two of them, and couldn't help turning their heads to look, as if they were afraid that they would fight right here.

It is impossible to really fight.

But it's really embarrassing for adults to do such childish things.

Ueno Hikaru thought for a moment, and decided to maintain the precarious "mature" appearance of the two younger brothers, and put a hand in front of them, preventing the two immature youths from further movements.

Osamu Dazai reacted first, grabbed the hand and looked at Hikari Ueno, blinked pitifully, and said, "Brother, I want to sit with you."

Zhong Yuanzhong also snorted coldly and pulled his hand away.

So he looked at Nakahara Nakaya and Ueno Hikaru and waited for him to express his attitude.

But he waited for a long time, but only waited for the other party's slightly red side face.

Osamu Dazai immediately climbed up the pole, pointed at Chuya and said to his brother, "Look, he doesn't want to sit in the back!"

The aggressive method, which was not intended to be used, came in handy instead, and Zhong Yuanzhong also looked serious: "I think!"

He turned his head and looked at Hikaru Ueno, and was silent for a moment. Then when he spoke again, his voice suddenly choked up: "I haven't seen you for many years."

"I've been looking forward to the day when I can meet you again..."

He didn't hold Ueno Hikari's hand like Dazai Osamu, but the naturally hanging left hand was still inadvertently touching the back of Ueno Hikari's right hand.

So at that moment, Ueno Hikaru felt his slight tremor very clearly.

For a long time, the great sense of loss that I expected to fail again and again seemed to be transmitted through that little tremor in an instant.

Ueno Hikaru's heart trembled unconsciously.

Subconsciously, he clasped Chuya's hand with his backhand, and gently brought him to his side.

Zhong Yuanzhong also staggered in his direction, and one of the outstretched legs happened to be half-kneeling on the back seat impartially.

He slightly turned his face towards Dazai Osamu, as if inadvertently, revealing a little smile from the corner of his mouth.

Dazai Osamu: "..."

It may be because Nakahara Chuya behaves too much like a violent fighter who doesn't use his brain very much.

and so.

He often forgets.

A certain guy who used to be a pure martial artist has been "taught and taught" by him and Ranpo intentionally or unintentionally for more than ten years, and has become a...

A scheming boy.

After Osamu Dazai received the ostentatious and mocking smile from a certain scheming martial arts school, he immediately hooked the corners of his mouth sarcastically, stepped forward, and very intimately lifted Nakahara Chuya from the back seat " Help" up.

"Everyone hasn't seen each other for a long time, why can you sit in the back alone with your brother!"

Nakahara Chuya: "You came earlier than me."

"Then first come, first served—"

"So after all, my brother and I have been apart longer than you."

Osamu Dazai shifted his target to look at Hikaru Ueno, and burst into tears: "He is the brother you want to see so much, don't I?"

Ueno Hikaru looked at the expressions of the two of them who hesitated to speak, as if he was a bit embarrassed.

Zhong Yuanzhong also made the decision for him, and it was justified: "You know the way, you have to sit in front and show the driver the way."

"No." Dazai Osamu didn't care at all, but Naihe had a thicker skin, "I want to sleep in the back seat!"

Zhong Ye: "?"

Chuya Nakahara was stunned, Osamu Dazai bent down and grabbed the forearm of Hikaru Ueno who was looking at the two of them who were speechless for a moment.

The young man tried his best to resist the pulling force around him, with an expression of ready to cry, he groaned, "I'm so tired after walking around with my brother for a whole day today."

"I haven't had a good rest because of..." He lowered his voice, blinked, and yawned, with some normal saline glistening from the corners of his eyes.

Hikari Ueno's gaze softened visibly.

Osamu Dazai whispered, "I want to sleep on my brother's body."

"Actually, I... haven't slept soundly for a long, long time. Ever since my brother was gone..."

His voice became lower and lower, the sleepiness and fatigue in his eyes became more and more obvious, and the drooping eyelids trembled slightly, as if trying to hide some unspeakable emotions.

Osamu Dazai knew that Hikaru Ueno couldn't stand his younger brother acting like a baby and pretending to be pitiful.

And after the reunion, he took this to the extreme.

Sure enough, within two seconds, Ueno Hikaru immediately softened his heart, held his wrist, and turned his gaze back to Chuya.

Zhong Ye, who was standing quietly beside him, raised his eyes and looked at him, his eyes were full of longing.

Hikaru Ueno: "..."

It's dying.

Let anyone go to the front, he felt his conscience was severely condemned.

At this time, the driver in the front seat watched silently for a long time, and finally couldn't hold back and opened his mouth.

"What, why don't you three... sit in the back together?"

He pointed to the empty seat next to him, with a somewhat indescribable expression: "This co-pilot doesn't necessarily have to be seated."

Hikaru Ueno was taken aback and looked at the driver.

The driver was startled by his stare, and he grabbed the steering wheel, "Yes, yes."

Hikaru Ueno: "...Thank you."

He looked at the two "big friends" beside him who became a little embarrassed at the same time.

Hikaru Ueno began to reflect.

Do I trust my brothers too much, so that I often lose my ability to think.

He has never experienced such a thing as three people sitting in the world together, so it is understandable that he couldn't react for a while.

But these two...

Hikaru Ueno raised his eyebrows.

Nakahara Chuya & Dazai Osamu who simply don't want to be with each other: "..."

The two looked at each other, as if they suddenly regained the tacit understanding in the "double black" era.

Nakahara Chuya cleared his throat, walked around to the other end, opened the car door very naturally and sat down next to Ueno Hikaru.

Osamu Dazai had finally and completely entered the car, with his hands obediently placed on his knees, his head bowed and he remained silent.

The car started slowly.

Hikaru Ueno sat on one left and one on the right, two eloquent big friends who suddenly became dumb, obediently like two large animals waiting to be punished.

Hikari Ueno looked to the left.

Facing the eyes that were as wet as a big dog in Shang Zhongyuan Zhongya, there were a bunch of heart-wrenching emotions such as longing, apology, depression, and heart-wrenching emotions.

Hikari Ueno looked to the right.

Facing Osamu Dazai's kitten-like pitiful eyes, there is a little bit of awkward guilt hidden inside, a little bit of uncontrollable joy of fulfilling his little wish, and more fatigue.

The words that had been sorted out in my mind disappeared in an instant.

Hikaru Ueno was silent for a moment, then sighed.

One left and one right, the rain and dew rubbed the heads of dogs and cats.

Forget it, let them make trouble if they like.

Should my younger brother be spoiled soon?

The two people who had rarely reached a reconciliation looked at each other quietly.

What was written in the disgusted eyes was "For my brother's sake, I'm reluctant to be with you."

The inscription on the corner of the raised mouth reads "Okay, it can barely be regarded as a long-lost 'happy cooperation'."

The zoo is not close to where they live.

These two places are almost divided into two directions of Mihua Town.

When the journey was just over halfway, Osamu Dazai seemed to be really tired, his head was biting, and he seemed to be in danger of hitting the front seat like this at any time.

Hikaru Ueno raised his hand to help him block it a few times, but the last one couldn't bear it, and directly adjusted his posture so that Xiu Zhi could rest comfortably on his body and finish the rest of the sleep.

But not long after this posture was adjusted, Hikaru Ueno suddenly felt his left shoulder sink.

Turning his head to look, Zhong Yuan Zhong also leaned on his shoulder, with his eyes closed, as if he was also asleep.

The car was driving quietly on the remote street with no cars, and the sound of gentle breathing came from both ends, a kind of long-lost peace that belonged to the world, quietly gathered.

……

After arriving home, the two of them maintained the superficial harmony for the time being, and they didn't make any noise like they did when they got in the car.

After all, they are all adults, and at critical moments, there will still be a sense of propriety.

It is not good to have this kind of "big riot" too many times a day.

Yi really made his brother anxious and was thrown out of the door.

Hikaru Ueno didn't know the twists and turns in the hearts of the two, he just thought that they were really "reconciled as before", and he didn't hesitate when going to bed, and directly agreed to their request to share the bed.

Although it is a bit cramped for three people to share the same bed.

But after all, today is the first day of reunion.

Anyway, only this one night.

Squeeze is nothing.

Ueno Hikaru understands that children lack a sense of security.

After all, he "walked away as soon as he said so many times" so many times, and this last time he walked away for such a long time without any news.

No matter who you change, at the beginning, I'm afraid you have to "guard against death" for fear that he will disappear if he doesn't pay attention, and even become a little worried about gains and losses.

Hikaru Ueno felt that he could understand the mood of the two of them at the moment.

But that doesn't mean that he can understand why these two people can still fight after falling asleep with him in the middle.

Shuji pressed Ueno Hikaru's chest with his hand, pushing Chuya's face.

Chuya's leg pressed against Ueno's and kicked Shuji's knee.

Hikaru Ueno still does not need to sleep now.

But he's used to "tranquil" evenings where he can "completely relax".

But the current scene really made him "uneasy" and "unable to relax".

Hikaru Ueno exhaled lightly, carefully moved the limbs of the two people away from him, and stared at their sleeping faces in silence for a while.

After hesitating for a long time between "letting go" and "trying to suppress", he chose the former.

Hikaru Ueno was convinced.

After all these years, they must have found the way of being together that works best for each other.

It's not convenient for him to intervene.

He picked up the quilt that had been kicked to the ground a long time ago, and covered the two of them again.

Hikaru Ueno turned around and walked lightly to the next room.

As for the hustle and bustle of this room in the second half of the night.

That's up to the two of them.

……

Early the next morning, Ueno Hikaru stepped on the rising sun to prepare breakfast for his two younger brothers who had spent most of the night.

Chuya Nakahara and Osamu Dazai slept in the next room, but they really maintained a relative balance.

You are pressing me, I am pressing you, in short, it is safe for the time being, no one side can win.

Until a sudden bell rang.

Osamu Dazai, who was sleeping inside, finally won with this slight advantage.

He also drove the dazed Zhong Yuan Zhong out of bed to open the door.

This morning, Akai Shuichi was planning to check the status of that "former cadre".

After all, it was a rumored "heinous" existence. Even though a superficial agreement had been reached, he was still a little worried, so he found an excuse and came to investigate the situation.

He was holding the "too much" curry in his hand, waiting at the door, secretly guessing who would open the door.

In fact, it is more likely to be Hikari Ueno.

But Osamu Dazai is not impossible.

"click".

It was the sound of the door lock opening.

Okiya Subaru collected himself, put on his customary smile, and prepared to greet the neighbor who opened the door with a cordial greeting.

Then his cordial greeting stuck on his lips.

The curry in his hand almost flew directly towards the person who opened the door.

The eyes of the young man inside the door were still hazy from just waking up.

It was also because of this that the fierce aura that was almost contained in his bone marrow leaked out.

Okiya Subaru tensed his muscles reflexively, and looked at the man.

Not Hikari Ueno.

Not Dazai either.

His pupils shrank suddenly.

Of course he remembered the face.

This is also the face that the intelligence officers of the FBI repeatedly told him before coming to Japan.

Current cadre of port mafia.

In the Central Plains.

Osamu Dazai's former partner.

According to the intelligence officer.

Together, these two people have enough power to suppress all organizations.

but.

Okiya Subaru stabilized his mind.

Since this one is here now.

That means, like Osamu Dazai, he should maintain his "superficial innocence" for Hikari Ueno.

Okiya Subaru's Adam's apple rolled, thinking about what opening line to use to open the situation.

In the next second, the hand holding the pot suddenly lightened.

The curry he brought was overturned into the air, and in a series of "clangs", it was all dedicated to the fertile soil in front of Mitsuka Ueno's house.

Nakahara Chuya, who suddenly woke up after the "conditioned reflex": "..."

Okiya Subaru was shocked by the opponent's "playing cards illogically": "..."
