「遠征軍,凱旋歸來⸺!」163Please respect copyright.PENANAOehZdKe0lT
163Please respect copyright.PENANARvsMmP60gE
號角響起。跟著兵團成員一起低頭穿過外壁城門,如雷的歡聲差點把我震下馬背。空氣清新,三天前只有砂礫的道路被灑滿梅花瓣。興奮群眾溢出兩側房舍,有些還爬到屋頂平台上,應該是不想被衛兵的白盔遮蔽視線。雖然我不是本地人……本世界人,「莎島」皇都的郊區景色,卻莫名能夠滿足鄉愁。163Please respect copyright.PENANA97mwidwy1r

喝采的面孔目不暇給,連我的道謝聲都被淹沒。搖搖晃晃行進好一會兒,隊伍終於走上內城的鋪磚馬路。見到遠處的堡壘以及聳立的主塔,我想起這輩子的神奇際遇。意外被召喚到這個陌生世界,沒有記憶又身無分文,還以為會死在那裡。想不到,接連出現的巧合和貴人讓我順利過關斬將,像是冥冥之中自有安排,我甚至還得到某種力量⸺扭轉人生、顛覆法則的力量。163Please respect copyright.PENANAX4rsjENsV6

念出咒文,四周的木製房舍瞬間變成砌磚高樓。塗著金漆的尖翹屋脊是市中心才有的高等精靈風格,代表皇室殿堂就快到了。我用力量「跳過」冗長的遊街橋段,準備直接上宮領賞。攻略「魔京」當時,也多虧這個能力,我才沒有被遠到哭的路途耗盡力氣。簡陋野營實在很難睡。163Please respect copyright.PENANAdjbmtRo65i

純種精靈王緩慢的祝禱詞讓典禮儀式更加乏味。幸好,他的女兒⸺擁有人族性格與精靈美貌的混血公主「諾伊‧希芙」⸺也在旁邊,雀躍的表情看起來跟我一樣迫不及待。不過……再這樣跪下去腳就要麻了,反正,那個能力似乎沒有限制……163Please respect copyright.PENANAauzZ7PMQij

希芙用鑲著金絲的白手套摟著我的臂膀。淡淡的酪香、微尖的耳朵、束腰馬甲上面那一對……更上面那對堅定的眼神,依舊深深吸引著我。說來老套,我倆確實一見鍾情。一島之主也無法拆散這個羈絆。163Please respect copyright.PENANA8PYzza70nJ

掌聲環繞下,我被未婚妻緊緊抱住胸口,隔著皮甲都能感受到她的心跳。四目相對,喜悅的淚珠滑下透紅的臉頰,我想將之抹去時,不小心碰觸到那對未嘗禁果的雙唇。163Please respect copyright.PENANAso4GsiJKvZ

暖爐裡的灰燼被朝陽點亮。掀開棉被、坐起身,我看著希芙的裸肩嘆氣。操弄時間的力量偶爾會自動暴發,上次正巧停下魔王的劍鋒,這次卻偏偏給我跳過重點。163Please respect copyright.PENANACM6I9IQj9H

睡眼惺忪的她依偎在我背上。肌膚的觸感、溫熱的吐息,讓錯過初夜的煩悶稍微平息。沒關係,我們還有一生可以共享。163Please respect copyright.PENANAKXVcqEyQ9O

心甘情願被那副調皮笑容牽著走,我試著放鬆心情,跟她一起用過早餐,來到主塔對面的魔導院。進入私人研究室,關上門後,只見她在堆滿書籍雜物的地板中間放了一張椅子,端著一頂佈滿顆粒的奇異圓盔,向我走來。163Please respect copyright.PENANAba1vj4qv1P
