After retirement I became a guardian of troubled youth

Irie was squatting in the ruins, the collapsed walls covered the sun above his head, casting a bleak shadow around him.

The two people standing directly in front of him stared down at him, casting a darker color on the shadow.

He squeezed the note with the address in his hand, and sighed sadly.

He really shouldn't believe the promises of these people.

He had promised well before he went upstairs, but when he came down again, it was as if he had already entered another world.

He pushed up his glasses, looked up at Hikari Ueno, and hid the hand holding the note behind his back.

"You broke the agreement, I can't give you the address."

Chuya Nakahara: "But that address is in your hands now."

"What are you doing!" Irie was alert for a moment, straightened up and stared at him, "Do you want to snatch it?"

Zhong Yuanzhong didn't make a statement, and turned his head to glance at the people around him.

To be honest, if it wasn't for his elder brother being present, he would have done it the moment this man appeared in the ruins.

But brother is here.

So, he wants to be a good person.

Hikaru Ueno noticed his gaze, pondered for a moment, and said, "It's not impossible."

Zhongyuan Zhongye: "?"

Irie Masaichi: "?" Did he really go to another world?

Nakahara Chuya: "Then I will steal it."

When his voice fell, the person had already arrived in front of Irie Masaichi, bent over and stared at him with lowered eyes, and the two of them were almost close to each other.

Zhong Yuanzhong also stretched out his hand and hooked his fingers in front of him.

"Take it out."

Irie was swallowing his saliva one by one, and flinched back.

"It's impossible for me to give you this address." He looked around the ruins pointingly, "It's too dangerous."

Zhong Yuanzhong didn't even look at the chaos. He raised his eyebrows, stretched out his hand directly to him, picked him up from the ground, and explained to him calmly: "It's not us who are in danger, but the mastermind behind this incident."

Irie sighed, supported the wall and stood up expressionlessly, lowered his head and looked at Nakahara Nakaya, and muttered softly: "So it's even more impossible for me to let you confront him head-on."

Hikaru Ueno: "Why?"

Irie spread his hands, and the note disappeared at some point.

"Everything must be done by the right person, and the most perfect ending will be achieved with the highest efficiency. The two of you are not the best solution for this matter, and you should not move in this round."

Zhong Yuanzhong also sneered: "Are you treating us like pawns?"

Irie blinked and said solemnly, "No, I just picked the most understandable metaphor."

Hikaru Ueno: "Who is the best solution?"

"Well," Irie touched his chin and put away his fingers one by one while talking, "I have a certain understanding of the incident in Yokohama, I have a certain understanding of supernatural powers, and I also have a certain understanding of the mastermind behind the incident." A certain amount of understanding...and you have to be a wise fighter, not too irritable..."

He raised his head, looked at Hikari Ueno, and gave his own conclusion: "Sure enough, the most suitable one is——"

Chuya Nakahara interrupted him with a straight face, half-believing: "Osamu Dazai?"

Irie snapped his fingers and smiled brightly: "Exactly."

He cast his eyes on Zhongya Zhongyuan and said with emotion: "As expected of 'Double Black'."

Zhong Yuan Zhong also's expression froze in an instant, adding a bit of embarrassment to his already unhappy expression.

Hikaru Ueno was curious about this new term: "Double black?"

"Ah," Irie Masaichi explained enthusiastically, "It's the combination name of him and Osamu Dazai."

"Speaking of which, 'Double Black' was—"

Nakahara Chuya forcefully interrupted his memory: "Red through Yokohama."

Hikaru Ueno: "?"

Irie turned his head away: "Pfft."

"It happened a long time ago." Zhong Yuan explained awkwardly, "That guy and I tried a lot of jobs to make a living. For example, that...idol or something."

When he said the last few words, his voice suddenly became much weaker, making it difficult to hear clearly.

But who is Hikari Ueno?

The former Mr. Death certainly captured the keyword very accurately: "Idol?"

"... Ang." Nakahara was also embarrassed for a while, worried that Hikaru Ueno would ask again, and grabbed his arm, "You can ask him about the specifics of this matter at that time. This is his idea."

Seriously, he tapped Jiang Zhengyi with his chin, and forcibly brought back the subject: "This matter is more important now."

"Oh." Ueno Hikaru nodded obediently, and made a silent note, planning to ask Osamu Dazai in the future.

He was always particularly interested in the past lives of his brothers.

Don't want to miss even a little bit of information.

What's more, the more important thing of "being an idol".

Nakahara Chuya asked Irie Masaichi: "That's why you went to the detective agency for help?"

"At that time?" Irie shook his head, "I didn't know who the mastermind of this incident was at that time. I was just..."

"I just want to avoid you."

"But you are in our hands now. What Dazai and the others will do is another matter. If you really don't want to tell us where that person is hiding," Zhong Yuan stepped on the broken wall beside him, snapping his fingers , "I don't mind using violence."

Irie took two steps back and looked at Nakahara Nakaya with a troubled expression on his face.

After a while, he sighed, and suddenly reached into his pocket.

Zhong Yuan also raised his eyebrows, staring at his every move.

Ueno Hikaru was a little surprised: "Agreed?"

Irie Masaichi didn't answer, took out his phone and glanced at it, and then suddenly heaved a sigh of relief.

He shrugged, with a very innocent tone: "There is no way, you are all going to use violence against me."

"I'm very timid and afraid of pain."

Zhong Yuanzhong also laughed, and reached out to him: "Then bring it."

Irie nodded obediently, and looked into his pocket with the other hand.

The next second, he was taken aback suddenly, and his expression immediately became extremely nervous.

"It's over..." Irie muttered in a low voice, frantically rummaging through every pocket on his body, and even patted himself on both sides from head to toe.

Zhong Yuanzhong also frowned: "Lost it?"

Irie nodded pitifully with a mournful face.

Zhong Yuanzhong was also a little impatient: "Dictation."

Irie flinched: "I, I don't know where that is..."

"You don't remember what you wrote yourself?"

"You just said you knew who that person was."

"I, I only know who he is..." He wrinkled his nose, looking like he was about to cry in a panic, "What should I do?"

Chuya Zhongya: "Tsk."

"you--"

"Ah!" Irie Zhengyi suddenly opened his eyes wide and interrupted him.

Zhongyuan Zhongye: "?"

Irie Masaichi: "I found it~"

As he said, he flicked his empty left wrist, and there was a black and white note in his palm, which was slightly shaken by the wind.

Irie smiled, and handed over the note, his voice still serious: "Sorry, I surprised you. A little trick I learned from a friend."

"It's a rare opportunity, so I just want to try it."

Zhongyuan Zhongye: "..."

He pulled the note, and left Ueno Hikaru without looking back.

Hikaru Ueno looked back at him reluctantly, and asked curiously, "Did you learn it from Kaito?"

Irie stood there, blinked his eyes, and smiled without saying a word.

——I learned it from him ten years later.

It has been ten years since the bazooka malfunctioned, but he has learned a lot.

Like this little magic trick.

Another example……

He turned on his phone, glanced at the time, and whispered, "Just right."

At the same time, a text message popped up.

"Thank you Masaichi~

from Osamu Dazai

Don't let the elder brother spend more than 24 hours alone with any younger brother.

For world peace (bushi).
