After retirement I became a guardian of troubled youth

Ranpo Edogawa took Hikari Ueno away on Friday night in order to make the most of his 24 hours with his brother, as well as some other little secrets.

He said that he wanted his brother to accompany him to deal with the commission, but in fact, of course, the main purpose was to have fun.

That night, Edogawa Ranpo first took Uenohitsu to a famous local food street for a walk.

I also took dozens of group photos and sent them to the younger brothers who stayed at home, making them envious.

In the evening, I stayed in the hotel provided by the client, a standard double room.

It was replaced by Edogawa Ranpo into a double room.

——What happened to your twenties?Sixty wants to secretly sleep in the same bed with his brother!

Said the childish master detective.

Of course, it is impossible to be sneaky secretly.

After all, this sentence was used to show off to the younger brothers during the remote video.

At that time, Ueno Hikaru was helping him prepare warm water in the bathroom.

When he hung up the phone, Hikari Ueno just happened to come out of the bathroom.

Edogawa jumped out of bed in random steps, jumped happily in front of Hikaru Ueno, and gave his brother a hug.

Then he was directly carried into the bathroom by his brother.

Edogawa was stunned, his clever brain allowed him to understand the other party's intention in an instant, and unparalleled panic rushed into his heart.

The master detective took a step back, hugged himself in fear, and met Hikaru Ueno with a slightly hurt look.

He was strangely silent for a while under his brother's gaze, then shook his head vigorously.

"No need, I can take a shower by myself!"

Ueno Hikaru bent his right arm, with a soft towel on his forearm, tilted his head, looked at him blankly, and asked, "Don't you want to experience childhood?"

Edogawa opened his mouth in Luanbo, also a little dazed, subconsciously responded: "But my childhood—" There is no such thing.

Halfway through his words, he reacted suddenly, his eyes widened in an instant.

Edogawa Ranbu shouted three times in succession: "Ah! Brother! Who is it!"

Hikaru Ueno was puzzled and asked him in confusion, "Who?"

Edogawa puffed up his cheeks, pointed to the bathtub behind him, and asked in a soft voice with a look of justice, "Who did you bathe for?"

Too much!

He questioned and thought.

My brother actually bathed other children himself!

Pro, self, wash, bath!

That was clearly a treatment that none of them had experienced before.

How could it be like this!

Hikaru Ueno blinked, as if he didn't understand why he reacted so violently, but he answered truthfully: "Chuya."

Edogawa Ranpo: "?!"

Edogawa Ranpo: "!!!"

scheming!

A scheming guy!

He snorted, pushed Ueno Hikaru out of the bathroom angrily, and then slammed the door shut with a "slap".

Hikaru Ueno, who was left behind for unknown reason, stood outside the door, remained silent for a moment, and knocked on the bathroom door.

"what happened?"

Edogawa hummed twice, opened the door, closed his eyes and shouted at him: "It's late!"

Hikaru Ueno still didn't understand: "What?"

"Give me a bath! It's late!" Edogawa Ranpo snorted, turned his head away, "If you didn't cherish it when you were young, you will never have another chance in the future!"

Hikaru Ueno stayed for a while, then realized, he hesitated and said, "Well... At that time..."

"Don't listen, don't listen!" Edogawa covered his ears in disorder, and made a childish grimace at him, "You can wash it for Chuya alone in the future! Humph!"

After he finished speaking, he closed the door again.

Hikaru Ueno stood outside, looking at the glass door in front of him dumbfounded, and knocked lightly twice.

"What are you doing?" Edogawa Ranpo responded quickly, his voice was close at hand, obviously he was still behind the door and did not leave.

Hikaru Ueno thought for a while and said, "Then call me if you have any questions."

He has always listened to his younger brothers, Edogawa Ranpo wanted to take a bath alone, of course he would not force his way in.

The people inside did not respond, and after a while, the faint sound of water came.

It fell on the tile floor with a crackling sound, like a child pinching a mineral water bottle in anger.

Hikaru Ueno rolled his eyes and walked back to the bed.

[My brother is so cute, what should I do? ]

……

Edogawa Ranpo stayed alone in the bathroom for a long time.

When he came out, there was a layer of hot steam around him, his cheeks were tender pink, and the ends of his hair were still dripping intermittently.

A certain "kid" who was not stingy held the glass door and looked at Ye Guang from afar, then "hummed" forcefully, and sat down on the other side of the bed.

Hikaru Ueno looked at his stubborn back with a smile, took out a new towel, and gently put it on the young man's head.

Edogawa Ranpo shook his head without saying a word, he didn't know whether he wanted him to wipe his hair or not.

The smile in the corner of Ueno Hikaru's mouth could not disappear, he rubbed the wet hair of the kid in front of him through the towel, poked his head from behind him, and asked him with a smile, "Would you like to wipe it for you?"

Edogawa grabbed the corner of the towel in random steps, turned his head away as if he didn't want to see him, but pouted and mumbled "I think".

The voice was very low, as if there was a little movement coming from several walls indistinctly.

Hikaru Ueno pursed his lips, pretending to be embarrassed, and said, "I can't hear you well..."

He thought for a while, let go of his hand, and asked tentatively, "Then, no more?"

Edogawa turned around in a hurry, stared at him with wide eyes, grabbed his hand and pressed it to his head, and shouted outrightly: "Yes!"

Ueno Hikaru looked at his little expression, and finally couldn't help laughing out loud, and gently brushed his hair while responding.

Ranbu squinted his eyes like a cat, and leaned into his arms.

While wiping his head, Ueno Hikaru suddenly remembered something, and asked casually, "Ranbu."

The kitten in his arms snorted twice contentedly: "Huh?"

Hikaru Ueno asked casually, "Do you have any identity that I didn't tell you?"

After all, in that parallel world, Ranpo and Chuya belonged to the same camp.

It was hard for him not to have some associations.

As a result, he just asked casually, but got a strong reaction from Chaos.

The kitten in his arms raised its tail for a moment.

Luanbu grabbed the towel, turned to look at him, with round green eyes, and asked him in turn: "You don't believe me?!"

He looked like he was heartbroken.

Hikaru Ueno was stunned for a moment, and was a little flustered for a moment: "No, I just...just asked."

"It's not a random question!" Luanbu raised his chin, "You just suspect that I'm with them! I wouldn't work for that kind of guy!"

"Hmm." Hikaru Ueno grabbed the other side of the towel and looked at him helplessly, "Sorry..."

Luanbu looked at him like this, suddenly bent his eyes, and smiled slyly: "Then you have to make it up to me~"

Ueno Hikaru also reacted, smiled helplessly, nodded, and asked him what compensation he wanted.

Luanbu opened his arms, eyes curved, and acted like a baby: "I want my brother to sleep in my arms!"

—

On the other side, the beautiful and mysterious Mihua Town.

In a certain house, two handsome young men huddled together in a room, staring at an old note on the window.

One of them was probably staring impatiently. He poked the person next to him and asked in a low voice, "Hey, is it really useful?"

"Of course." The person next to him moved to the side in disgust, and responded in a low voice, "It's fine if you don't believe me, don't you even believe my brother!"

The expression of the person who asked the question changed, apparently feeling that the person next to him was somewhat unreasonable: "No..."

Before he could utter the words behind, the paper on the window sill suddenly changed.

A sudden gust of wind blew against the window, but the note was blown even though it was through the glass, and it turned over and fell on the window.

In the next second, a strange purple flame suddenly lit up, spreading inward from the four corners of the note, gradually engulfing it in its entirety.

The expressions of the two became serious at the same time, staring at the note a little nervously.

After a while, the purple flame disappeared, and the note dangled back onto the windowsill.

At the same time, a vague figure appeared behind the window.

The man was wearing a black cloak, and other than the general outline, other details could not be seen clearly.

He raised his hand and knocked on the window.

One click, two clicks, three clicks, like some kind of code.

The two people in the room looked at each other, one of them bumped the other with his shoulder, and said confidently, "Chuya, you go."

Zhongyuan Zhongye: "..."

He glanced at Osamu Dazai with a complicated expression, got up silently, stepped forward, and opened the window.

A gust of cold wind poured in instantly.

Hiding behind, Osamu Dazai tightened his clothes, shivered, and urged in a low voice: "Hurry up, Chuya! It's so cold!"

Zhong Yuanzhong also turned his head and gave him a look.

The head of the blurry figure outside moved, as if he lowered his head and looked at them.

Then, an indistinct voice came over: "What's the matter?"

"I have business with you." Nakahara Nakaya glanced at Osamu Dazai, and continued as the two had agreed before, "About Hikaru Ueno."

The figure was silent for a while, motionless, then suddenly shook twice like a convulsion, a little excited: "He promised to come back?"

The two were stunned at the same time, and suddenly raised their heads to look at the figure.

Osamu Dazai asked coldly, "Have you contacted him before?"

The figure remained silent for a long time before saying: "There are not enough people here, I need him."

Osamu Dazai snorted coldly, laughed, and responded briskly, "Okay."

A deep coldness flashed in his eyes, but his voice remained unchanged: "Then come over tomorrow night, and we will hand him over to you."

The figure flickered twice and asked, "Really?"

Osamu Dazai: "Of course."

The figure stopped making any noise, and floated motionless outside the window for a while before moving again.

It raised its hand again and knocked on the window three times.

Boom, boom, boom.

Another gust of cold wind rushed into the room.

Immediately afterwards, the window slammed shut.

Zhong Yuanzhong also stepped back quickly to avoid being hit by the tip of his nose.

Osamu Dazai grabbed the piece of paper, twisted it twice, and smiled inexplicably, his eyes darkened.

Zhongyuan Zhong also looked at him, was silent for a moment, and then asked, "Tomorrow night?"

"Hmm." Osamu Dazai let go of his hand.

The piece of paper fluttered in the air twice and disappeared bit by bit.

"Let Luanbu stay with brother for one more day."

Zhong Yuanzhong also responded and looked away.

He turned around and left the room with Osamu Dazai.

Behind the two of them, Ueno Hikaru's room was quiet, and nothing seemed strange at all.
