After retirement I became a guardian of troubled youth

Hikaru Ueno didn't know what the kid Chuya Nakahara meant by "cooperation".

But he guessed, it must be different from himself.

The ruins were blown up in a mess, and he is still at the lowest point of the ruins.

Under normal circumstances, trying to find this "cooperative" boy who hides from everyone is almost like looking for a needle in a haystack.

But fortunately, the boy still has the bracelet he put on in advance.

The bracelet not only has the function of soul monitoring, but also the function of positioning and self-repairing the host. It is almost the most powerful trinity machine in the underworld.

However, in the world of Huangquan, this thing was once unsalable until production was discontinued.

The one in Hikaru Ueno's hands is already out of print.

After all, no matter how powerful this thing is, it is useless to Death.

The only use is as a decoration.

At that time, Ueno Hikaru was forcibly sold by a newly born little god of death who didn't know him yet, and he didn't expect that it would come in handy one day.

He closed his eyes, sensed where the bracelet was, and walked over there.

The kid is really fast, but he has already run a long way in two to three minutes.

Hikaru Ueno made an estimate.

It takes about a second to catch up with him.

There was a little more approval in his eyes.

He is a very talented kid.It is completely different from Ranpo and Xiuzhi.

Hikaru Ueno unconsciously incorporated the logic of this world and thought about it carefully.

If he can be properly trained, this child will become a very good track and field athlete in the future.

The kind of all-round athlete who is not only good at running, but also good at other sports, shocking the world.

Hikaru Ueno hoped that he would not need to take away the soul after a month.

Chuya Nakahara, a future athlete, should not die in such a natural disaster.

But what is more important now is that he has to find the future athlete first.

During this moment of thinking, Zhong Yuanzhong has already run a lot of distance.

Hikaru Ueno curled his fingers, and a dodge appeared in front of the boy who was still running forward while avoiding with the help of the surrounding walls.

Zhong Yuanzhong also noticed him, his pupils shrank suddenly, and the whole person had already rushed up due to inertia, and bumped straight into the body of Shang Yeguang.

Ueno Hikaru subconsciously raised his hand to hold the opponent's figure.

As a result, the next second, the boy began to struggle violently, and his body began to tremble, as if he had encountered something extremely terrifying, and he couldn't control himself and wanted to stay away.

Hikaru Ueno frowned slightly, relaxed a little, and still held the boy's arm.

"Don't run away, listen to my explanation."

Zhong Yuanzhong also calmed down, looking up at him with a sullen face.

"I signed a contract with you," Ueno Hikaru considered the words, "I will observe you for a period of one month, if—"

Before he finished speaking, the child struggled again, more violently than before.

Ueno Hikari was worried that his body would be hurt during the pulling, so he subconsciously relaxed his strength.

The result was this relaxation, the child directly pulled out from under his hand, stared at him, and quickly took two steps back to the side.

Then, in the next moment, his body sank suddenly, and he disappeared in front of Hikaru Ueno again.

Hikaru Ueno was stunned for a moment, and took a second look at the place where he disappeared.

It was a pit, I don't know how deep it is, and I don't know how to get there.

Hikaru Ueno: "..."

The terrain here is quite complicated.

He was silent for a while, then reluctantly used the function of the bracelet again, and went directly to the other end of the hole to wait.

The other end of the hole was not far from here, and within a moment, a small, disheveled head poked out of the hole. When he saw him, his blue eyes flickered and his hands loosened, and he wanted to shrink back.

Ueno Guangyan quickly grabbed his shoulder and lifted the child up.

He learned to be smart this time, and instead of trying to appease the other party and explain to others, he directly knocked the kid who kept kicking around and knocked him out with a knife.

After being in confinement for a long time, he had forgotten that the god of death can "hands and feet" his task objects.

The kid Zhongyuan Zhongye gave him a last look, and fainted unwillingly.

Hikaru Ueno looked around here and found two ropes.The kid recovered quickly, and woke up again in the middle of looking for the rope. Ueno Hikaru didn't give him a chance to struggle, and gave him another shot as soon as he noticed that he woke up.

When he stunned the child for the first time, he paid more attention, worrying about the bad influence it would have on others.The result was obviously not, and the kid woke up quite quickly.

So for the second time, Hikaru Ueno stepped up a bit.

It directly made him faint in the end.

Finally refers to——

Ueno Hikaru found a small broken house and a small broken bed that could barely lie on the outermost part of the ruins, and then tied the child to the end of the bed with the two ropes.

The explosion swayed from the center in circles, and the impact on the outermost layer was not too great. Many residents here still had time to evacuate, leaving only a group of dilapidated empty buildings.

In order to prevent any obvious damage to the child's skin, he also specially found a few rags to wrap it up.

As expected, except for the few seconds when Zhong Yuan was stunned when he just woke up, the rest of the time has been tossing.

Anyway, it won't wear too much if it is padded, Ueno Hikaru didn't persuade him, and quietly leaned against the table with one missing leg, watching him toss.

The sky after the explosion was already gray, covered with a thick layer of soot.

Hikaru Ueno watched him toss and turn from gray sky to dark, and finally calmed down, with a pair of big blue eyes open, staring up at him, and twisting his bound hands from time to time.

He waited for a while, and asked under the vigilant eyes of the boy like a small animal: "Is it all right?"

The boy froze for a moment, his eyes were a little more bewildered.

Hikaru Ueno nodded and said, "Okay, then I will start to explain."

The boy stared at him without saying a word.

So Ueno Hikaru slowed down his speech, and without emotion, he said again what he had said to that soul before.

"So, I hope you will cooperate with me this month."

Ueno Hikaru paused, looked into Nakahara Chuya's eyes, and said, "If you agree, just nod."

Zhong Yuanzhong also nodded.

"Then be good." Ueno Hikaru relaxed a little, and stepped forward to help him untie the rope.

Even with a cloth on it, it couldn't stand his tossing and tossing. When the rope was untied, the child's wrist was already red. He nodded and said, "Punishment."

Zhong Yuanzhong was also seriously puzzled: "Why?"

Ueno Hikari replied solemnly: "You are not good."

Nakahara Chuya: "..." and then "Oh".

As if a little unhappy, he lowered his head and stared at the floor silently.

Hikaru Ueno looked at him for a while, and felt that he must have accepted the status quo, so he felt relieved, got up and asked him, "Is there anything you want to eat?"

The child must have been hungry for a long time, and he had consumed so much just now. Hikari Ueno estimated that he must be hungry, and planned to prepare something for him.

The cooking skills he learned before were only shown once in front of Ranpo, and he was forced to return to the Underworld. After that, he never even saw any vegetables in the world.

He was also a little curious about whether his skills would regress after so long.

He had already looked at it when the child was still unconscious. Although the water and electricity here had been cut off, there were still usable dishes.

There may be leftover vegetables or something in other rooms.

Hikaru Ueno intends to search for a wave.

Zhong Yuanzhong didn't look at him, and shook his head.

This reaction was expected, Ueno Hikaru: "Then I will do it casually."

If Zhongyuan Zhongye really gave him the name of the dish, it would be more difficult.After all, in a place like this, getting anything to eat depends on luck.

After he finished speaking, he turned and left.

After walking out for two steps, Hikaru Ueno paused, feeling a little uneasy suddenly.

Although Nakahara Chuya seems to have become very obedient now, but it is not sure whether this "obedience" is pretended by him.

Xiuzhi and Ranpo also always pretend to be very obedient, and do some things that are not obedient at all.

Especially Xiu Zhi.

In order to prevent problems before they happen, Hikaru Ueno turned around, went back to the room, and opened the door.

Zhong Yuanzhong also happened to be lying on the side of the shattered window, half of his body had already leaned out of the window, and when he heard the movement, he suddenly turned his head to look over.

Caught off guard and Hikari Ueno met their eyes.

Hikaru Ueno: "..."

Zhongyuan Zhongye: "..."

Nakahara Chuya's expression instantly became stiff, hiding some obvious embarrassment and regret.

He lowered his head, avoiding Hikari Ueno's sight, and slowly climbed down from the window sill, as if he was still vaguely reluctant.

Hikaru Ueno: "...cooperate?"

Zhong Yuanzhong also stood by the window, not saying a word.

"Then I can only tie you up again."

Zhongyuan Zhongye still didn't say a word, just moved towards him silently.

It seems to be showing favor, and it seems to be self-defeating: you tie it up.

Hikaru Ueno had no choice but to tie him to the bed again.

Zhong Yuanzhong also opened his big eyes and looked at him obediently for a few seconds, then lowered his head.

Ueno Hikaru made sure that he would not slip away again, and went out to search for food with confidence.

He picked up a lot of things back.

Cabbage, radish, onion, ginger and garlic, and a plate of chopped celery.

They are not what Luanbu likes to eat.

Hikaru Ueno found a big bag from a certain house, and stood at the door with these things in his hands, thinking for a moment, then pushed the door open.

He's not sure if the child likes to eat these things, but they have more time, so they can try it slowly in the future.

In the next second, there was a "bang", and a small round thing shot straight at him.

Hikaru Ueno reacted quickly, turned his head to the side, and the hand that was not carrying the bag pinched the "hidden weapon".

He glanced at the hidden weapon.

It's a little cork.

Hikaru Ueno frowned and looked into the room.

Zhong Yuanzhong didn't know when he had broken free from the rope, and was sitting cross-legged on the ground, holding an opened bottle of wine in his arms.

Hikaru Ueno: "..."

Although he has no concept of the various laws of this world, he is also a person who has raised children after all.

He still knows that people under 20 are prohibited from drinking alcohol.

Although Ranpo and Xiuzhi have more or less contacted a little bit.

After all, Mr. Tsushima cannot do without this thing in his daily life.

But the 20-year-old Hikari Ueno, who has lived hundreds of times, has never touched this thing.

He didn't quite like the taste of the drink.

But he saw that Zhongyuan Zhong was also holding the wine bottle, and for the first time today he looked a little happy...

I think this kid seems to be related to this thing.

Ueno Hikaru poured out the bottle of wine calmly with an attitude of neither support nor objection, and then threw the bottle into the trash can in the next room.

When I came back, I calmly "introduced the law" to the children in Zhongye.

Zhong Yuanzhong also nodded, obedient and obedient.

Ueno Hikari rubbed his head.

Then, by the way, he patted the ash off his head.

No electricity and no water may be a big problem for ordinary people.

But for Mr. Death, it is not a problem at all.

He stacked the dishes to be fried one by one on the plates, added oil and salt, and with a light tap of his index finger, the three plates vacated, spun in mid-air, and landed firmly in front of Ueno Hikaru.

Zhong Yuanzhong was also attracted by him, so he came here.

Hikaru Ueno drew a circle under the three plates with his index finger, and finally tapped lightly in the center, making three "chi chi chi" sounds, three clusters of flames rose one by one, and dragged steadily under the three white plates, like Three red lotuses in full bloom.

Zhong Yuanzhong also opened his eyes wide, and got a little closer.

The child probably likes these bright things very much. As the dishes on the plate became more and more cooked, he also approached a little bit, and finally almost reached Ueno Hikaru's side.

Ueno Hikaru pretended not to notice him, and made the fire a little brighter with no expression.

The child couldn't hold back, and sneaked a few glances at him, then cautiously stretched out his hand, and quickly poked the fire closest to him.

The red flames reflected in the blue eyes, appearing transparent and bright.

Xiuzhi and Ranpo once set the school's flower bed on fire for some unknown reason.

The fire was not small, and both of them suffered minor injuries that time.

Since then, Ueno Hikaru has remembered a rule.

Children are not allowed to play with fire.

He glanced at Nakahara Chuya, and quietly moved the three plates to his side.

As a result, the kid probably became addicted, and then followed him to rub against him, or secretly poked the fire again and again.

Hikaru Ueno: "..."

With a flick of his finger, the three plates suddenly switched places with each other.

The kid was startled, took a step back, stared at the plate vigilantly for a while, and then stared at him for a while.

Hikari Ueno felt relieved and continued with peace of mind.

Observe the state of the ingredients.

It didn't take long for the child who just jumped out to come back, still looking at the three fires with a pair of big eyes, and stretched out his fingers.

The only difference is that he is a little more careful than before.

Hikaru Ueno was convinced that the method of avoiding him was useless, and the moment Chuya's fingers approached, he suddenly turned up the fire.

His fingertips were burned unexpectedly, Zhong couldn't hold back, he snorted softly, then withdrew his hand abruptly, running farther than last time.

This time, the children did not come to try again.He stood by the bed, staring down at his red fingertips, looking aggrieved.

After the cooking was finished, Hikaru Ueno put the food on the three-legged table and looked back at Chuya.

The kid was still staring at his fingertips with an aggrieved face.

He stepped forward helplessly, held Chuya's fingertips, and performed a small healing technique.

The aggrieved expression on the child's face was a little less.

Hikaru Ueno didn't let go, gently squeezed his fingertips and asked, "Would you like to touch him next time?"

Zhong also shook his head again and again.

Ueno Hikaru patted him on the head, took him to the table and sat down, ready to eat.

The chopsticks were at hand, but a certain kid grabbed the edge of the table and stared at the three plates of food without touching the chopsticks, and stretched out his hand to the nearest plate of food.

It seems that I want to grab and eat like this.

Hikaru Ueno: "..."

Startled, he grabbed the child's hand, stuffed the chopsticks into his hand, and began to teach him how to use chopsticks again.

Ueno Hikaru looked at Chuya clumsily holding the chopsticks to eat the food, feeling a little strange at the same time.

The two kids he met before were extremely smart, and the kids he met before hadn't spent much time with them at all, so for a kid like Chuya who was completely different from Ranpo Xiuzhi, let him He felt a little curious.

He gradually discovered that the child seemed to know nothing but dialogue and the instinctive "see him run".

Obviously it looks about the same age as Xiuzhi.

There are still children in this world who "know nothing" more than him.

Hikaru Ueno suddenly raised the idea of ​​introducing Nakaya to Ranpo.

……

I don't know how Luanbu has been during this time.

While staring at Chuya eating, he began to think wildly.

Thinking wildly, Mr. Death seems to never do this kind of thing. Most of the time when he has no tasks, he is in a daze or pinching villains.

If you have time this time, go secretly to meet those two children.

The kid Zhongye ate up all the food on the table, jumped off the chair, hiccupped, and covered his mouth.

He was stunned for a while, then looked blankly at Hikaru Shangye, with puzzlement in his eyes, and a little...

"I'm done." That's what it means.

The corner of Ueno Hikaru's mouth hidden under his collar slightly bent: "It's normal."

Zhong also opened his mouth: "... hiccup~"

The ending sound also turned because of his panic.

Hikaru Ueno: "..." The arc of the corner of the mouth widened a little.

The kid got angry, squatted down at the foot of the bed, hugged his head and ignored him, and let out a "hiccup" after a while.

In order to maintain the child's self-esteem, Ueno Hikaru didn't go to him, washed the dishes, cleaned up the house, and filled the bathtub with warm water.

At the foot of the bed, the kid finally finished hiccupping, turned his head to look at him quietly, and quickly turned his head back after noticing Hikaru Ueno's gaze.

Ueno Hikaru raised his eyebrows slightly, stepped forward, and poked the child's shoulder.

Chuya slowly turned his head to look at him.

"Will you take a bath by yourself?"

Zhong Ye tilted his head: "?"

Ueno Hikaru: "Well, that won't happen."

He had seen it before in the cat-covered book, saying that taking a bath would deepen the relationship and intimacy.

Hikaru Ueno wanted to try it out at Ranpo, but for some reason, the kid always disagreed.

The explanation given by Mr. Tsushima is "shy", and said that Shuji has been like this since he was very young.

This kind of extremely intelligent child will have a private consciousness much earlier than other children.

Unable to experiment, Ueno Hikari is more or less a little regretful.

He blinked, and looked at Zhongya.

"Want to try?"
