After retirement I became a guardian of troubled youth

Nakaya was put into the bathtub by Hikaru Ueno, soaked his body in the water, poked half of his head out of the bathtub with both hands, and stared at him the whole time, looking very well-behaved.

There were a few little yellow ducks in the bathroom cabinet that had been there for a long time. Ueno Hikaru cleaned them thoroughly with his ability, and threw them into the bathtub.

Three wobbled away, and two more floated beside Nakaya.

When Hikaru Ueno was applying shampoo to the child's head, a certain child who had been quiet and motionless glanced at him quietly, withdrew one hand, and "lurked" past from under the water.

With a soft "crash", the little yellow duck floating on his left was hooked in front of him.

He lowered his head, trying to see the little yellow duck clearly, but when he lowered his head, the foam from his hair hit the little yellow duck.

The little yellow duck rolled around in the water.

The kid in Nakaya was taken aback, and regardless of Hikaru Ueno's attitude, he directly opened his hands to catch the spinning duckling.

then.

"Gah-"

The sound from the duck toy echoes in the space with a long aftertaste.

Nakaya shook his hand and threw the little yellow duck out.

The splash of water wet Ueno Hikaru's hair in front of him, and the little yellow duck landed on top of his head very well.

With a "crash", before Hikari Ueno could react, Nakaya had retreated to the other end of the bathtub.

The child squeezed his hands together and looked at him from bottom to top, looking a little scared.

Hikaru Ueno didn't move, the water droplets dripped along the hair on his forehead, and hit the floor with a "slap".

The little yellow duck opened a pair of black peas eyes, opened its mouth and landed firmly on top of his head, looking at the child Zhongya who abandoned it mercilessly.

A certain child silently stared at Hikari Ueno for several seconds in a state of fear and regret, and then...

"Pfft." A laugh came out.

Hikaru Ueno raised his eyebrows, pinched the little yellow duck on top of his head to take it off, and said very calmly amidst the melodious "quack", "You know how to laugh."

Central Plains also choked.

"fine."

Hikaru Ueno put the little yellow duck back into the water, and flicked the duck's butt expressionlessly.

The little yellow duck rushed towards Zhongye like a sword off the string, stopped halfway due to the resistance of the water, and approached him unsteadily.

Hikaru Ueno waved his hand, and the other little yellow ducks approached Nakaya who was curled up on the edge of the bathtub from all directions.

Zhongye: QAQ

Hikaru Ueno: "It's okay, just play more if you like."

As if echoing him, the little yellow ducks swayed and danced beside Xiao Zhong.

Xiaozhong also pulled the water beside him, trying to drive those little yellow ducks away, and said aggrievedly: "I don't like it."

Hikaru Ueno nodded, and tapped lightly on the water surface, and the annoying little yellow ducks disappeared instantly.

"Like it, or don't like it, you have to say it like this."

Hikaru Ueno looked at him, and fished a handful in the water casually.

The kid came directly to him from there.

"It's 'coordination.'"

Whether Zhongye's own feedback matches the soul feedback sent by the bracelet is also one of the important contents of the test.

Zhong also nodded in agreement, and the foam on the top of his head swayed and swayed.

Hikaru Ueno looked at him for a few seconds, dipped a bit of foam, and touched the tip of the child's nose.

Zhong also tilted his head and looked at him for two seconds, then wiped his own head, and then poked a paw of foam on the tip of Ueno Hikari's nose.

Hikaru Ueno looked at Chuya who was smiling: "..."

Very good, very consistent with the state of the soul.

It was already late after taking a shower, and the clothes Nakaya was wearing belonged to the children of this family.

Most of the children in their family are already very big, and the smallest clothes they picked out were still too big for Nakaya, and they were baggy, looking like a child who stole an adult's clothes.

The child himself was still kneeling on the bed, looking at Hikaru Ueno with an innocent look on his face.

When you take a shower, you will inevitably splash yourself with water.

Especially in the second half of the journey, the children in Zhongya suddenly let go for some reason.

As a result, the front of Hikaru Ueno's clothes was almost soaked.

He dried himself under the curious eyes of the child, then found another towel, put it on Zhongye's head, and rubbed it up, down, left, and right a few times with light movements.

Nakaya followed his movements and shook his head back and forth, left and right, not knowing what hit him again, and laughed while shaking his head.

The children have short hair, and it dries within ten minutes after wiping.

Ueno Hikaru once wanted to "dry" Ranpo's hair, but was strongly rejected by the child.

After that, it became a routine to wipe people's hair.

The hair texture of the two children is not the same.

In comparison, Luanbu is probably a little tougher. After washing my hair, I always get up in a very perverted manner the next morning.

Hikaru Ueno stared at Chuya's hair a few more times, and subconsciously imagined what the child would look like when he woke up tomorrow morning.

Well, kind of cute.

Zhong also noticed his gaze, covered his head, his gaze poked out from the gap between his arms, and looked up at him.

Hikari Ueno patted him: "Sleep."

It's getting late, it's time for the children to go to bed.

Chuya nodded obediently, lowered his arms, and started to stare at him.

Hikaru Ueno: "..."

Zhong Ye: "..."

"..."

"..."

Time passed little by little, and a blurred crescent moon appeared behind the gradually dissipating dust.

"not tired?"

Zhong also shook his head.

Then not long after, he suddenly fell forward.

Hikaru Ueno quickly stretched out his hand to cushion it to prevent him from knocking somewhere.

He waited for a few seconds, but his head in his palm didn't move.

He waited for a few more seconds before a faint grunt came up.

Ueno Hikari straightened him, covered him with a quilt, and sat on the head of the bed with his knees bent.

Does this kid not even know how to sleep, or is he still instinctively wary of him?

The bracelet glowed with a faint and soft light in the middle of the night, Ueno Hikaru looked back.

Stand up.

It doesn't matter which one it is, it will disappear with time.

What he needs to consider now is how to live in the next month.

Definitely not in this place all the time.

Children at this age need to acquire a lot of knowledge, communicate with others, and make friends.

But in such a desolate place, none of these can be done.

Hikaru Ueno went out before dawn.

When they were with Ranpo, at first they would worry about money, but for Hikari Ueno now, money is no longer a problem.

He found a place in the city that was suitable for him to work with ease.

It's just that the escort agency he found seems to be much bigger than the previous one.

Their headquarters is in the most conspicuous building in the city, which looks magnificent.

The receptionist was much more formal than the other side, with black suits and big sunglasses, and a gun in his hand.

That's the only difference from before...

This intermediary agency didn't even have a foreword, and it "tested" him at the door as soon as it came up.

Moreover, the strength of the tester is much stronger than before.

They have guns after all.

Hikaru Ueno quickly stepped forward, unloaded their guns one by one, broke the barrels directly, and then politely put them back into the hands of these people.

For two rows of testers, it only takes a few tens of seconds to do this for everyone.

He walked around all the stunned black suits, stepped up the steps, turned to look at these people, and asked, "Did I pass?"

The black suit standing in the middle looked up at his gun, then looked down at the gun in his hand, and suddenly howled into the black walkie-talkie hanging on his chest.

Talking upside down and talking incoherently.

Anyway, Hikaru Ueno didn't understand what the man was shouting at all.

But generally it went very well, and he met the head of the institution in a candle-lit room shortly thereafter.

The boss looked a little old, a little thin and small, but it was obvious that everyone was in awe of him.

Ueno Mitsutomo bowed and explained the purpose of coming concisely: "I need money."

As soon as the voice fell, those black suits in the room jumped out again, and shot at him with a "chug chug".

Ueno Hikaru reluctantly accepted their wave of human body strokes, and at the same time had time to ask the other party: "Do you want to test again?"

The old man didn't respond to him, and raised his hand after a while.

The black suits stopped attacking.

Hikaru Ueno stood where he was, patted his sleeves, and asked, "Is it over?"

The old man looked serious and looked fierce, and asked him, "How much do you want?"

Hikaru Ueno thought for a moment and said, "Look at it."

The old man's eyes suddenly became more fierce, and the hands on the chair trembled.

He stared at Hikaru Ueno, gritted his teeth and said "yes", and reported the number to the people behind him.

Ueno Hikaru frowned slightly: "These?"

He was silent for a while, looked at the old man's expression, and said, "If you can't afford it, you can pay less."

The old man's expression turned black instantly, and he snorted heavily, telling the people behind him to bring the money immediately.

The boss of Port Mafia has never been wronged like this in his life.

He now desperately wants to know what this ignorant bastard is.

Attack the headquarters while he annexes other organizations and sends out the main force.

And he was alone, so he didn't pay attention to them at all.

The point is... this bastard still thinks they are poor!

This is a stupid thing that can only be done by people who look down on their port mafia.

Before leaving, she even asked him what he wanted him to do.

The boss replied angrily: "You'd better hide far away and don't let us find you."

He stared viciously at the back of him carrying the suitcase and leaving.

"For 4 hours, I want to see all the information about this person."

"Yes."

With fire in his heart, he took a few heavy breaths, and the more he thought about it, the more angry he became, and he spat out a mouthful of blood with a "wow".

The fire rushed straight to the top of the skull.

After this mouthful of blood, the not-so-young head of the port passed out directly.

There was a turmoil inside the port mafia.

On the other side, the small dilapidated house was peaceful for a long time.

Hikaru Ueno teleported back after walking not far away, and the timing of his return was just right.

When the box was put down, Nakaya got up sleepily and looked at him blankly.

The kid's hair is indeed messy, but it's much better than messy hair.

Ueno Hikaru stepped forward, helped him comb his messy hair, and asked him what he wanted for breakfast.

The child lowered his head halfway, let him play with his hair obediently, tugged at the hem of his clothes, and said, "...anything is fine."

Ueno nodded, and chose to get materials nearby.

Fried eggs with boiled eggs.

The children in Zhongye had a great time eating.

Ueno Hikaru couldn't hold back and ruffled his hair.

Xiaozhong also stuffed his mouth full, and raised his head in a daze: "?"

Hikaru Ueno praised him: "You are very good."

He is more obedient than the two children he met before.

The super well-behaved kid Chuya smiled sweetly.

After eating, Hikaru Ueno decided to go out to find a separate place to live and do some shopping by the way.

Maybe you can also consider the matter of going to school in Chuya by the way.

It's not a problem to live here all the time, it's not convenient to do anything at ordinary times.

Ueno Hikaru gave Nakaya a few words, and teleported away directly.

He didn't react suddenly until he was brought to the door of a room by the real estate agent.

I have been thinking about it for a long time, and it seems that I have acquiesced in a premise.

That is, after one month, he will not take away the soul named Chuya Zhongyuan.

Hikaru Ueno hesitated for a moment, then nodded to the doubtful eyes of the young man next to him, and stepped into the door.

Regardless of the result after one month, at least during this period of time, he wanted Zhong Ye to have a normal life.

Like every other little kid.

The whole process of buying a house was exceptionally smooth.

After all, Hikari Ueno is rich.

After the matter was finalized, Ueno Hikaru hesitated for a second between taking Nakaya directly and filling the refrigerator, and chose the latter.

However, just halfway through the supermarket, Hikaru Ueno suddenly felt a huge fluctuation from the bracelet.

Chuya's soul is experiencing strong negative fluctuations.

Simply put, he is in a bad situation, or in a bad mood.

Without the slightest hesitation, Hikaru Ueno directly kept all the things in his hand, and teleported to Chuya with an orange under the shocked gaze of the fruit shop owner.

---

Not long ago, the kid from Zhongye sat on a chair and decided to "run away from home" for the last time after experiencing a tough psychological struggle.

He knew that this Reaper was a good Reaper and treated him very well.

But Zhongyuan Zhong also decided to follow his instinct to "escape" for the last time.

He climbed to the window just like last night.

This time no one suddenly came back to catch him.

Xiaozhong also smoothly climbed to the ground along the pipe next to the window, and ran away in a random direction.

But he didn't run very far.

Zhong also was not familiar with this area, so he ran into a dead end.

When he turned his head and wanted to go back outside, there were already children standing behind him.

There are about eight or nine of them, and they look about the same size as him, but they are all bigger than him.

Xiao Zhongye was already a little smaller than his peers, but now that he was surrounded by them, this "smaller circle" became even more obvious.

A group of children were cursing and shoving the "newcomer". After pushing and pushing, they started fighting.

Zhong Ye moved first.

He shot out a second before one of the children touched his neck, instinctively pinched the neck of the boy who was taller than him, and then kicked him out.

The children around him stood still for two seconds, and then they all rushed up in a swarm, howling.

……

When Ueno Hikaru arrived at the scene, what he saw was the somewhat embarrassed kid Nakaya, a strange kid lying around his feet.

One of them stood at the entrance of the alley, and the other stood at the end of the alley, looking at each other silently amidst the wailing of a group of children.

Immediately afterwards, another child's voice came from behind.

"Don't run away! I'm calling someone over!!!"

Hikaru Ueno turned his head when he heard the sound, and met a group of half-grown children.

This group of children looked about the same size as Luanbu, and perhaps some of them were a little bigger than Luanbu.

The children are probably all newborn calves who are not afraid of tigers, such as a certain Zhongye kid who looks cute but is actually completely disobedient and sneaked out many times.

Hikaru Ueno glanced at him, then at the litter of children rushing towards him.

Calmly cast out the scythe.

The little kids scattered and disappeared in a blink of an eye.

Hikaru Ueno put away his sickle, turned to look at Chuya Nakahara.

The kid was cautiously stretching out his fingers, poking at the crumbs of the stars that were about to disappear.

Hikaru Ueno pinched his restless finger and looked down at him: "Running around?"

Zhong also twitched his fingers back, but did not twitch, lowered his head, and whispered "no".

Ueno Hikaru was helpless for a moment, stared at him for a while, and gently touched the wound on his forehead.

The child subconsciously took a breath, shrank back, and said "it doesn't hurt".

Hikaru Ueno: "Does it hurt?"

Chuya: "...um."

"It doesn't hurt?"

"……pain."

"Go back first."

Ueno Hikaru did not intend to help him completely heal this time, children always need a long lesson.

He held Chuya's hand, walked around a bunch of children on the ground, and walked to the previous residence.

Zhong Ye let him lead him, keeping his head down all the way in silence.

One came in the door and sat down, but the child still bowed his head and said nothing.

Hikaru Ueno looked at him, examining the wounds on his body one by one.

He thought about it, and felt that although it was wrong for the kid to run away, there was still something worthy of praise.

So Ueno Hikaru patted his head and said, "Good job."

Zhong Ye looked up in astonishment.

Hikaru Ueno explained: "We won."

Just great.

And very handsome.

Although he didn't see it.

The kid's eyes lit up, and he was obviously a little happier.

Hikaru Ueno looked at him, suddenly remembered a certain scene from the past, squatted down, and looked at Nakaya.

"Would you like to huh?" He imitated what Luanbu said at the time, and gently blew on the child's forehead a little clumsily.

A childish sentence was clearly uttered in a clear voice:

"He flew away in pain."

Xiaozhong also looked at him blankly, blinked, and said, "Yes!"
