After retirement I became a guardian of troubled youth

After dealing with the Crown incident, when the four of them went home in a police car, the time passed by one o'clock in the morning of the next day.

This time, in order to prevent the three young children from quarreling in front of the police uncle, Ueno Hikaru took the initiative to go to the co-pilot.

As expected, the three sat together in the back row, except for a few words of bickering at the beginning, the journey was surprisingly quiet.

The car stereo plays a soothing melody, the street lights along the way cast warm yellow light, and the streets are quiet and soft at night.

Hikaru Ueno looked away from the window, and looked at the three people in the back seat through the front rearview mirror.

Luanbu was in the middle, with Nakaya and Dazai Osamu on one left and one on the right, and the three of them leaned together, as if they had all fallen asleep.

The policeman who was driving smiled and asked him softly, "Is it very happy?"

Hikaru Ueno was slightly startled, and realizing what the other party was asking, he also curled the corners of his mouth and nodded.

Just looking at the peaceful scene of three people sleeping together quietly makes people feel very happy.

He raised his hand and gently touched the cheeks of the three people in the rearview mirror with his fingertips, his eyes softened.

Suddenly, Osamu Dazai in the back opened his eyes, raised his eyelids, and looked through the rearview mirror.

Hikaru Ueno was caught off guard and met his gaze in the mirror.

In the next second, all the vigilance in the young man's eyes disappeared, and turned into a smile in his eyes.

Osamu Dazai smiled at him, closed his eyes again, tilted his head slightly and rubbed the backrest behind him, finding a more comfortable position.

Like a cat going from vigilant to lethargic.

Hikaru Ueno's heart skipped a beat, and his drooping fingertips shrank slightly.

cute.

He stared at the rearview mirror, thinking blankly.

……

When they were about to reach the place, Chuya and Osamu Dazai sat up one after another, looking out the window with clear eyes, as if they had just woken up.

Only Luanbu in the middle seemed to be really asleep, curled up motionless in the center of the back seat, even if the people on the left and right sides opened the door and got out of the car, there was absolutely no intention of being woken up.

Even because the back seat became empty, the whole person lay down and curled up more comfortably.

Edogawa Ranpo is fundamentally different from Dazai Osamu and Nakahara Chuya. He has never been "tortured" by Mori Ogai. He has a regular schedule since childhood. Unless there are special circumstances, the number of times he stays up late is very small.

So, regardless of whether the two on the left and right were pretending or not, he was really sleepy.

This is why Edogawa Ranpo chose to sit between these two people at the beginning.

If Dazai Osamu and Nakahara Chuya were allowed to lean together, Edogawa Rampo was sure that he would definitely not be safe on the way home.

When the two of them got out of the car, he woke up in a trance for a while, and then fell asleep again.

It was vaguely like someone leaned in half of his body from the outside, gently stroked his hair, and whispered to him to get up.

Luanbu snorted, grabbed the hand that was messing around his head and pulled it closer to his arms, unconsciously raised his cheek and rubbed it against the person's arm twice, then continued to sleep.

Hikaru Ueno was held in his arms with one hand, and rested on the back of the back seat with the other hand, looking helplessly at a certain "children" who seemed unable to wake up.

He stared at the chaotic sleeping face with downcast eyes and hesitated for a moment, then gently pulled out his hand, carefully hugged him, hugged him directly with the princess, and fished him out of the car.

Luanbu leaned against his shoulders, and rubbed against his arms, grabbing the fabric of his clothes on his chest.

It is not a problem for Hikari Ueno, who is 180 tall, to pick up a person of the height of Ranpo and Nakaya. In addition, he is already thin. Hikari Ueno carried him all the way to the house, and even felt that he was in his arms. It weighs nothing.

Ueno Hikaru couldn't help but hugged the person in his arms a little tighter.

It seems that this can add a little more sense of reality.

Dazai Osamu and Nakahara Nakaya accompanied her all the way, and put Ranpo in the room opposite Yeguang's room on the third floor.

When Ranbu was put on the bed, he seemed to be a little bit reluctant, he snorted a few times with a muffled nasal sound in his sleep, and grabbed Ueno Hikaru's clothes more tightly.

It seems that in a dream, I am eager for the people around me not to leave.

At the moment of being grabbed, Ueno Hikaru was stunned for a moment, subconsciously did not break free, but followed the opponent's strength and sat down beside the bed.

One side of the bed sank slightly, and Luanbu turned over towards him as if attracted, and curled up, getting closer to Ye Guang.

The hand that had been holding on to Hikari's clothes happened to fall down because of the change of posture.

The first half of the knuckles of both hands overlap.

Cold and warm temperatures echo each other in intimacy.

As soon as Ueno Hikaru retracted his fingertips, his whole hand was suddenly grabbed by the other party.

"Don't go, brother~" the young man said softly.

Hikaru Ueno looked up in astonishment.

The young man still had his eyes closed, his breathing was slow, and he looked like he was in a deep sleep.

It seems that the actions and words just now are just the projection of dreams in reality.

Ueno Hikaru hesitated for a moment, and gently brushed the broken hair on Ranbu's forehead.

What did he dream about?

Hikaru Ueno couldn't help thinking about it.

own to leave?

"Don't go anymore, okay..." Luanbu suddenly asked vaguely again.

Then the grip on his hand suddenly loosened.

"...I'm not leaving." Ueno Hikaru gently pressed the hand that had been clenched against Ranbu's forehead.

Although he knew that the other party who was sleeping soundly could not hear these words at all, he still responded in a low voice.

Luanbu lay beside him quietly, as expected, without giving any reaction.

Hikaru Ueno stood up, looked down at him for a moment, then turned and walked towards the door.

"Have a good dream." Before opening the door, he wished softly.

……

Outside the door, there are Chuya Nakahara and Osamu Dazai who are very worried about him.

Two people occupied one side of the door, expressionless, like two door gods.

Ueno Hikaru panicked for a while.

As if I just did something sorry for them.

At the same time as there was a slight sound of closing the door, the two "Mr. Door Gods" raised their heads at the same time and looked at Hikari Ueno.

Osamu Dazai glanced at the door a few times and asked with his mouth, "Is he asleep?"

Hikaru Ueno nodded and stroked the hair of the two of them.

"It's getting late, you guys should go to bed quickly."

He took the two of them all the way back to their own room, then sent them to bed intimately, helped them cover the quilt, and then left quietly.

Every time he goes out, he will bestow such blessings on the other party:

"Have a good dream."

……

Perhaps it was because Hikaru Ueno's blessing was really effective, or it might be because of the "chic good night kiss" with a fingertip on his forehead. In short, it was rare for Osamu Dazai to have a particularly peaceful sleep that night.

Not disturbed by messy dreams, this kind of sleep makes people want to last until the end of life.

This caused him to be in a trance when he woke up at noon the next day.

Until Zhong Yuan Zhong also slammed on his door and carried him directly from the bedroom to the dining room.

Hikaru Ueno put down his "breakfast", stood behind him naturally, and helped him straighten his messy hair.

Then in the next second, another fluffy head appeared beside him.

Edogawa leaned over his head in random steps, his eyes were bright, and he seemed quite looking forward to it: "I want it too!"

Ueno Hikaru agreed, and walked behind him to help him cut his hair.

Then I asked by the way: "When are you leaving today?"

Luanbu: "?"

The person in front of him froze, turning his head to look at him in a little surprise.

Hikaru Ueno looked at him with some doubts: "What's wrong?"

Luanbu said directly: "I won't go!"

He puffed up his cheeks, looked a little angry, pointed at the "Double Hei" who was watching the play next to him, and said, "They didn't leave, why did you drive me away?"

Another cat-type young man is pitiful and confident: "I just arrived here this morning!"

"Hmm..." Ueno Hikaru was still a little confused,

"But you're going back to work."

Ranbu's eyes widened: "They don't need it!"

Zhong Yuanzhong also took the lead in disregarding the relationship: "I am on vacation."

He threw out such a sentence, and obediently buried his head in eating, with a state of indifference to the world.

Of course, Ranpo could guess the origin of Chuya's "vacation", so after a second, his spearhead completely turned to Osamu Dazai.

Osamu Dazai seemed to feel his ferocious gaze only now, looked up with half a piece of bread in his mouth, and blinked innocently: "I'm here to work~"

That tactful ending, no matter how it sounds, seems to be showing off and provoking.

Edogawa Ranpo snorted: "Work? Why haven't I heard of it?"

"...Well." Osamu Dazai finished the bread slowly, drank a few mouthfuls of milk, and then explained to him, "It's a secret commission from the president, and no one else knows about it."

Of course Edogawa Ranpo knew he was making it up.

The commission of the detective agency has never been handed over to others by the president behind his back.

The term "the pillar of the whole society" is not in vain.

"Really?" He looked at Osamu Dazai meaningfully, "But I remember before Dazai you..."

He just started a sentence, and the content was already guessed by Osamu Dazai.

He raised his voice slightly, and cut off Luanbu's words just in time: "Ah! That's right, I remembered~"

While talking, Osamu Dazai pointed his mobile phone at the knife in front of his eyes, and said seriously: "The president just sent me a message this morning, asking us to be together."

On the phone interface is a text message that looks very real.

Ranpo nodded, and readily accepted Osamu Dazai's remedy.

It was rare for him to be so sincere.

He will keep the unspeakable black history of a certain person in the port mafia period longer~

The two reached an agreement, but Ueno Hikaru became a little confused: "Is that Kudo Shinichi important?"

"Very important." The two said in unison, and then looked at each other.

Dazai Osamu explained: "He is a key link in our fight against a certain criminal organization."

Zhong Yuanzhong also raised his head and glanced at them, then silently turned off the phone.

Unfortunately, he just received a temporary overtime message from Mori Ogai.

Make him free to talk to one of the organizations over here.

Zhong Yuanzhong also thought about it, and felt that he was not free recently.

To discuss cooperation with the other party at this time, isn't it just to leave a loophole for someone to pick it up and shake it in front of brother.

"Then he is... in danger now?"

Luanbu: "That's right."

Ueno frowned, a little worried.

"Don't worry, brother, there are many people around him who can provide him with shelter."

……

On the other side, Edogawa Conan, who was the center of the conversation between the three, tightened his coat tightly and sneezed.

The teenager sitting opposite him and eating chocolate ice cream smiled.

Conan glared at him immediately.

The boy on the opposite side spread his hands innocently: "I just think it's a little strange."

Conan sneered: "Coincidentally, I also find it very strange."

"Your school released people so quickly, did they want to throw you out a long time ago?"
