After retirement I became a guardian of troubled youth

81

The blond girl who brought him here before was also standing there, with a look of anxiety, as if she wanted to push the door in immediately, but she didn't dare.

Hikaru Ueno stopped in front of her.

The girl raised her head in surprise, her anxious expression immediately turned into panic.

"Well, wait, wait a minute. You can't go in!" She said hastily, and took a few steps to stop Hikaru Ueno, "I haven't told the boss that you're here yet..."

Even in a hurry, she kept her voice low, as if she was worried about disturbing the people in the room.

Hikaru Ueno was a little surprised: "You didn't tell him?"

The girl nodded, bit her lips, and explained in a low voice: "Boss told me before that if it was you who came, just bring you to him. But now he is talking to someone else..."

Hikaru Ueno took her words and said affirmatively: "So it's not convenient for you to judge."

The girl nodded, frowning.

"It's nothing inconvenient." Hikaru Ueno glanced at her indifferently, looking past her to the door at the back.

"He probably forgot to tell you."

The girl looked blank: "What?"

"If those two people are inside, I can go in anytime."

"what?"

After Ueno Hikaru finished speaking, before she could react, he had bypassed her and pushed the door open neatly.

The conversation between the three people inside the door was terminated in an instant, and they looked this way in surprise, and then changed into an indescribable expression in the next second.

Zhong Yuan also stood up subconsciously, a look of helplessness flashed across his face.

The girl who was blocked behind said "Hey" twice, walked around to the side, and immediately froze when she saw the situation of the three people in the room, and did not dare to speak out.

Hikaru Ueno glanced at the three of them calmly, his eyes fell on Mori Ogai, and he asked coldly, "Can I join?"

Mori Ogai smiled, stretched out his hand to him, and made a "please" gesture.

His expression had returned to normal shortly after Ueno Hikari first appeared.

"Of course," Mori Ogai said calmly, "I've been waiting for you for a long time."

"Really?" Hikaru Ueno tilted his head and walked into the room under his gaze.

The girl who was still standing outside the door was hinted by the eyes of her boss, and frightened, she quietly closed the door and slipped away as fast as she could.

Osamu Dazai quietly tugged Nakahara Chuya and pushed him back onto the sofa.

The two of them were already sitting far away, almost at the two ends of a sofa, and adding Ueno Hikaru in the middle was more than enough.

Hikaru Ueno looked down at them and sat down between the two of them.

Mori Ogai handed him a cup of tea in a natural manner, but Osamu Dazai replaced it with boiled water.

Mori Ogai didn't react when he saw this scene, he just asked Ueno Hikaru: "What do you want to know?"

Hikaru Ueno didn't speak.

After a long silence, Osamu Dazai asked pitifully, "Does my brother want us to avoid it?"

Hikaru Ueno came back to his senses, glanced at him, and shook his head.

He looked at Mori Ogai with a calm tone: "Three questions."

Ueno Hikaru was originally a person with indifferent emotions, because the anger generated by the other party's words in an instant also gradually dissipated in the long silence.

What's more, when you think about it carefully, he is actually not qualified to express his anger.

Just like Kyouya, Chuya and Shuji who are sitting next to him are the result of their self-selection in the past ten years of growth. He has not witnessed those times with his own eyes, so he has no right to ask questions, let alone interfere. .

It's like he promised Tsunayoshi Sawada.

He will respect their own choices.

Then just feel bad.

They're going to be hard, they're going to hurt, they're going to bleed.In the life path they choose, there may not be a "safe" direction.

But compared to "peace", their own unique life is more valuable.

Their safety should not be guaranteed by giving up their persistence.

Hikaru Ueno squeezed his fingers, lowered his eyes to look at the glass in front of him.

His figure was reflected in the clean water.

He glanced at himself and made a promise to himself.

He'll keep his brothers safe, he'll stand behind them and watch them go down the path they've chosen, and he'll rejoice in what they've accomplished.

This is what he should do as a brother.

He is the "guardian" of the "children".

Hikaru Ueno raised his eyes and looked at Mori Ogai opposite.

The other party was also looking at him, with a calm smile on his face as always, revealing the confidence that everything was under control.

"Of course." Mori Ogai said, "Which three questions?"

Hikaru Ueno: "The first one is Chuya Nakahara and Osamu Dazai."

Mori Ogai smiled, this is a problem within his presupposition.

"I will respect their own choices. Whether they stay here or leave here, I will not interfere. However, if they choose to stay, they must follow the regulations of the port mafia."

Hikaru Ueno didn't nod or shake his head, and asked the second question directly: "Second one, me."

Mori Ogai was slightly startled, his smile deepened, and he said calmly: "Before you came in, we have already made an agreement. I will give you half a month."

Obviously, this is still a problem within his assumptions.

Hikaru Ueno raised his eyebrows, motioning for him to continue talking.

"Within half a month, completely solve your problem. If you can't, I will use my own method."

Hikaru Ueno pursed his lips, and before he had time to react, his sleeve was suddenly tugged lightly by the person around him.

He turned his head and met Dazai Osamu's eyes.

The young man raised his head slightly, with rare seriousness in his eyes: "Don't you believe us, brother?"

"……Believe."

"Don't worry, half a month is enough." Dazai Osamu blinked at Ueno Hikaru, as if comforting him in turn.

Ueno Hikaru bent his eyes a little helplessly and rubbed his hair.

Mori Ogai: "Then, the third question?"

Hikaru Ueno looked at him, pondered for a moment, and said, "It's a request."

Mori Ogai: "?"

Hikaru Ueno said calmly: "After half a month, fight with me."

Mori Ogai: "???"

He was visibly taken aback.

Hikaru Ueno explained seriously: "I thought about it, but I'm still very angry."

"But I chose to entrust them to you in the first place. So," he paused, "let's fight."

Mori Ogai: "..."

There was a bit of bitterness in his smile, and he nodded helplessly: "Yes."

Osamu Dazai next to him couldn't hold back, lowered his head, and let out a chuckle.

Nakahara Chuya stretched his hand from behind Hikaru Ueno, and pinched his ear gently.

Mori Ogai noticed the small movements of the two people, and there was a little playfulness in his eyes, and he pretended to be serious and asked Hikari Ueno: "Is there anything else?"

Hikaru Ueno shook his head, "I'll find you in half a month."

He got up and left with the two of them.

When he opened the door, Mori Ogai who was standing next to the sofa suddenly called out to him.

Dazai Osamu and Nakahara Nakaya continued to walk forward, and their figures became smaller and smaller.

Hikari Ueno turned his head and looked at Mori Ogai.

Mori Ogai's voice is very soft: "For human beings, being 'different from ordinary people' is itself a mistake."

"I'm using their abilities, but I'm also helping them find more of their kind."

Ueno Hikaru turned around, faced Mori Owai, and stared at him seriously for a moment.

"Thank you."

"But, that's just what you think it is."

After speaking, Hikaru Ueno closed the door, turned and left.

At the end of the corridor, Osamu Dazai and Chuya Nakahara were waiting for him.

Mori Ogai stared at the heavily closed door for a long time, and suddenly laughed happily.

——Indeed, besides port mafia, there are other "similar" that are more suitable for them.

—

On the way back to the residence, the two secretly looked at Hikari Ueno many times.

It wasn't until he was about to reach the destination that he finally couldn't hold back, tugged at his sleeve, and asked, "Brother, aren't you angry?"

There was a little cautiousness in the gaze cast from bottom to top.

Hikaru Ueno was dazed for a moment, as if seeing those children from many years ago.

He shook his head.

"I respect your own choices."

Osamu Dazai took the initiative to ask, "But?"

Hikaru Ueno froze for a moment, hesitated for a moment, and then answered his words: "But I will still worry about you."

"You are in danger, I can't help, I don't even know..." Ueno Hikaru stopped suddenly, and didn't continue talking.

"It's okay." Nakahara Zhongya stood on the other side, pressed his hat, and muttered softly, "Anyway, you'll be here all the time."

Before Hikaru Ueno could respond, a loud voice suddenly came from not far away: "Brother!"

The energetic Edogawa Ranpo stood at the top of the stairs and waved vigorously at him.

Behind him was Kaito Kuroba, who was still yawning with his head raised.

Hikaru Ueno smiled and looked up at the dilapidated small building in front of him.

This is the room they lived together many, many years ago, until today.

Yes, anyway, from now on, he has been around.

Ueno Hikaru stepped forward and caught Edogawa Ranpo who rushed over.

—

Ueno Hikari knew that Kyouya was still a little awkward.

From when he was still on the helicopter, he could feel that the atmosphere of the other party was different from before.

He also knew that Gong Mi had a way of self-regulation. At this time, if he insisted on intervening, it would have negative effects.

So Ueno Hikaru originally felt that it was impossible for him to see the other party in the past few days, and he was still a little bit disappointed.

But to his surprise, when he returned to Mi Hua, Gong Mi was waiting for them at home.

Not only Ueno Hikaru, but several other people were also shocked for a while.

It is not very surprising that Hibari Kyoya is at home. After all, his tolerance for "clustering" has been expanded to 6 people with the joint efforts of the whole family.

But Kyouya Hibari sitting in the living room waiting for them to come home was very, very, very surprising.

That's Hibari Kyoya!

Edogawa Ranpo and Osamu Dazai leaned over in shock to check if he was real, and Kaito Kuroba smiled and leaned beside him jokingly.

Even Zhong Yuanzhong showed a surprised expression, looking at him like a rare species.

Kyouya Hibari was tossed around in the middle by three people, his face darkened a little bit, then he snorted coldly, left them and went to the second floor by himself.

But obviously, everyone can see that he is not unhappy at all.

Leaving may be because...

I'm afraid I can't help but laugh along with these fools.

While eating, Osamu Dazai waved his chopsticks triumphantly, saying that he and Chuya had no more secrets in front of his brother.

Hibari Kyouya snorted softly, knocked his chopsticks together with his chopsticks, and grabbed his crab meat expressionlessly.

Kuroba Kaito looked unnatural for a moment, then changed the topic with a smile.

——I need to find a chance to let my brother know that I am Kaitou Kid.

he thought so.

Edogawa ranpo glanced at him, showing a knowing smile.

Then he suddenly put down his chopsticks, called "brother" twice, and looked at Hikaru Ueno with bright eyes.

Hikaru Ueno: "What's wrong?"

"I have a commission from another city this weekend, brother, come with me~"

As he spoke, he made eye contact with some people present.

This is the "one-day privilege" he fought for before, and it is urgently needed until now.

Hibari Kyouya who was excluded: "..."

Why hasn't he heard of it?

Of course Ueno Hikari would not reject his younger brother.

He nodded and said "yes".

There are [-] more days until the weekend.

There are still 14 days until the end of the half month.

Osamu Dazai bit the crab leg in his mouth, showing a meaningful smile.

Then Zhong Yuan, who was disgusted, hit his head with his chopsticks.
