「現在你們不用煩惱地點囉,就不打擾你們了,我也趕著回去見我可愛的親愛的,因晚歸讓伴侶擔憂這般沒品的錯誤,我這種紳士可做不出來。」468Please respect copyright.PENANAIIhSRb9nej

小提琴家一面道一面轉身離開,臨走前似是想到什麼又轉過頭來:468Please respect copyright.PENANAB1oqE7984l

468Please respect copyright.PENANAbJNwAo1VPc
對這令人感到莫名其妙的表演者,藍髮青年聽了他所言的話語根本摸不著邊際,只是看著手上意外得到的折價券,思忖著這該怎麼處理,隨後那兩張紙就被金髮青年不客氣地直接抽了一張拿去看。468Please respect copyright.PENANAihIbpdVlyj

「本月壽星蛋糕吃到飽……?司洛利,你要去吃嗎?」468Please respect copyright.PENANAMyAmP9Mwzj
468Please respect copyright.PENANAmkyKgXrEL6
司洛利挑眉,將僅剩一張的券子放入外衣口袋,「殿下對糕點有興趣?」468Please respect copyright.PENANA1ji2OAY8cn
468Please respect copyright.PENANAexGIQnkHOU
「沒有,可是生日就是要吃蛋糕吧?」再說,他們兩個也不曉得要做什麼,比起在街頭閒逛,去蛋糕店看看說不定是不錯的主意。468Please respect copyright.PENANAKrRa2Btb4e
468Please respect copyright.PENANAwn3FnQjIyP
於是行程就這麼決定,吸血鬼王子也不管下人心中所想為何,拉了人就依照券子背面地圖所繪的方向前行,壽星只得無奈地遵從命令,讓人不由得懷疑生日的到底是誰?468Please respect copyright.PENANABXBu5MgP0A

深紫和桃紅交錯的拱門,類似色的彩料在表面暈染出如同波紋一般的奇異圖樣,約有兩層樓高的外觀讓它即使是位在街尾仍舊醒目,拱形最上方則標示著它的店名,這間蛋糕店不若一般店家規規矩矩地排列在一扇扇的門後,而是獨立開來自己佔了一塊地,特立獨行的格局讓人不想注意也難。468Please respect copyright.PENANAaurUoTWw72
468Please respect copyright.PENANAFrV27ZhXg9
而從側邊望,當然是看不到牆面等物,僅能見到矗立在那兒的拱門,但由正面卻可窺見店內的樣貌。468Please respect copyright.PENANANLSHDoF5rg
468Please respect copyright.PENANAFEkRdPtHIC
司洛利望著這家獨樹一格的店面,思忖著經營這間店的業者要嘛就很有錢、要嘛就是把一切都賭在這家店了,畢竟商店街內格式統一的店家,他們政府為了規劃方便,多少都會給予輔助,而像這樣的店便不會有。468Please respect copyright.PENANAocYjgmLJ5N
468Please respect copyright.PENANAbBq1CRUFiT
先前沒有看過這家店的印象,大概是最近新建的吧。468Please respect copyright.PENANAQX5WkzIr6F
468Please respect copyright.PENANAZGa5WhcL7A
阿爾法則是沒想這麼多,但他抓著司洛利進入其中後就不禁擰眉。468Please respect copyright.PENANA2PBiD6EQsz
468Please respect copyright.PENANATqM3Zqyv2S
室內不似一般位於羅坦赫拉勒的店面般黑暗,而是燈光大作,且隨處可見光鮮亮麗的配色,即使和當地居民的生活習慣反其道而行,這間店的人流卻是絡繹不絕,櫃台前擠滿了各年齡層的女子和少數男性,從多數人沒戴眼鏡這點看來,這應該是一間有連接到他國的分店──雖稱之為分店,但這種店有所區分的只是各國進入的出入口,不管從哪扇門進來,最終都會通往此處、不同入口進入的也看不見亦或無法進入連結他處的出口,同樣是空間魔法的傑作。468Please respect copyright.PENANAHaG0K4Oiqf
468Please respect copyright.PENANA2c6SZkyvrh
通常這類的「連鎖店」都只會建設於十個以下的國家,正常人是不會一次將好幾十個甚至破百個異空間給串在一起的。468Please respect copyright.PENANAjOJ6lcrOiE
468Please respect copyright.PENANAiSQkQGhGPB
而這間店選擇建於羅坦赫拉勒,很顯然是因為這是一家以女性為主要顧客的店面,這點無論從配色或各種甜點造型的裝飾都看得出來。468Please respect copyright.PENANALJhF49ENfH
468Please respect copyright.PENANAbH0GchhZJK
整個空間充斥著純血夜行者最厭惡的光、以及自己最排斥的女人,阿爾法馬上就後悔前來的決定。468Please respect copyright.PENANAuFT8pCXhCV
468Please respect copyright.PENANAdorLdMZZRZ
看出自家主子的心思,司洛利順勢提議:「既然殿下有所遲疑,那麼我們還是回宮較為妥當。」468Please respect copyright.PENANAnVjkc3y5I5
468Please respect copyright.PENANA0NEIcxxxL6
「不要。」阿爾法一秒回絕這個建議,將折價券交給一旁走來走去的薑餅人侍者,「既然都來了,你就給我吃完生日蛋糕再回去。」468Please respect copyright.PENANAIUj2tzP9zC
468Please respect copyright.PENANAdLzg0wHSe4
語畢,薑餅人就領著兩人前行,深入與他們格格不入、洋溢著少女般粉色氣泡的空間。468Please respect copyright.PENANATDJZfniLY9
468Please respect copyright.PENANAHvLMzIUNvr
468Please respect copyright.PENANANruRglVz1Q
468Please respect copyright.PENANAxjXdz7EuAV
這兒的內部十分寬敞,整體色彩對夜行者而言太過刺目,座位與座位之間用小包廂區隔開來,薑餅人拉開雪色簾幕,示意他們進入其中一間兩人坐的包廂。468Please respect copyright.PENANAxOPbxIcqS9
468Please respect copyright.PENANAqAaSfzYFEo
座椅的材質是如棉花糖般柔軟的紅沙發,阿爾法坐下後,就注意到桌上擺了一張紙,「壽星居然還有專用的使用說明書?」468Please respect copyright.PENANAzkTyxMXnaJ
468Please respect copyright.PENANAZ5unWHLDt0
司洛利一聽也感到有些奇怪,「請問殿下,上面寫了些什麼?」468Please respect copyright.PENANAw1BjnwT0mp
468Please respect copyright.PENANAWK87p22Pzp
「一行規則,還有『完成全部事項可得到本店特別禮物一份』的註解。」阿爾法將紙攤到司洛利面前,「大概是完成一項之後,才會顯示出另一項吧?」468Please respect copyright.PENANA3usFZYL60w
468Please respect copyright.PENANA8bW0J8rDNQ
藍髮青年湊過去看了看,「第一項是……『吃蛋糕』?」468Please respect copyright.PENANAaljjnQ2AV9
468Please respect copyright.PENANAbDf6jF2r7d
話音甫落,一盤蛋糕就憑空落下,阿爾法及時接住才沒砸在正靠近桌面中央端詳紙張的司洛利頭上,「這家店的服務也太爛了吧!」468Please respect copyright.PENANAgyBTTcYFd0
468Please respect copyright.PENANAnUJwNS9q8P
「所以在下先前就說過了,不慶祝什麼生日、打道回府也無妨。」468Please respect copyright.PENANA65EITXAxzV
468Please respect copyright.PENANAF2eGE9ljxZ
司洛利接過那盤蛋糕,少許奶油點綴表面,巧克力脆片鋪滿整塊糕點,中央的夾層也是滿滿的巧克力醬,他瞄了幾秒就放到桌上,朝對面的人問道:「殿下您有品嚐的意願嗎?」468Please respect copyright.PENANABp3WKI1DeJ
468Please respect copyright.PENANAm1JJb0TPCN
「沒有。」468Please respect copyright.PENANAxw6dVMRpRa
468Please respect copyright.PENANAigIVSKRVgL
阿爾法瞥了一眼就別開目光,他對這種看起來甜膩得要命的食物半點都提不起勁,光它的外觀就令人退步三舍。468Please respect copyright.PENANAQZF3hzTeBk
468Please respect copyright.PENANAcIWwlJH2bc
司洛利也遲遲沒有拿起置於一旁的叉子,如果是提拉米蘇那類的還好,偏偏它看來就只是巧克力蛋糕,對甜食沒興趣的兩人皆沒有進食的意願,盯著那盤蛋糕不知該如何是好,最後還是司洛利切了一小口放入嘴裡。468Please respect copyright.PENANA6xliYfXwbh
468Please respect copyright.PENANArEjq5VEz1k
出乎意料地、居然是苦巧,香濃的氣味從味蕾蔓延開來、入口即化,也沒什麼甜味。468Please respect copyright.PENANA4nrSNmO5Vc
468Please respect copyright.PENANAaPzzxNNSRn
咀嚼入腹後,司洛利對拿著紙的阿爾法提問:「這算是吃過了,殿下,第二個項目呢?」468Please respect copyright.PENANAKkqa9mBEtd
468Please respect copyright.PENANAXBsqgn185u
「再來是……嗯、出現了,第二條是『許願』。」468Please respect copyright.PENANABHNPh0PsZI
468Please respect copyright.PENANArqrXaFJOzk
「跳過,在下沒有能夠實現的心願。」468Please respect copyright.PENANAQAxZUmG7M6
468Please respect copyright.PENANAQayeO2pVJN
「欸?不行啦,」阿爾法指著白紙黑字說道,「它沒變化,換一個。」468Please respect copyright.PENANAqXrWotcD8q
468Please respect copyright.PENANAy6OK1Wx0Hh
「那麼,請殿下幫在下吃掉那盤蛋糕吧。」468Please respect copyright.PENANAYQ0O72MQLR
468Please respect copyright.PENANAmSKrXfL3hH
「喂……!」468Please respect copyright.PENANAHWxy8OgafZ
468Please respect copyright.PENANApTcw5m71X0
阿爾法本想反對,不過司洛利已經笑容燦爛地將僅吃了一口的蛋糕推到他面前,他也只得心不甘情不願地拿起叉子,好在這東西不像它外表看來那麼甜。468Please respect copyright.PENANA0Ler64S192
468Please respect copyright.PENANAfTmHTg5LDN
這樣算不算是某種意義上的間接接吻?──藍髮青年有些心不在焉地想。468Please respect copyright.PENANAZtGHhE44JA
468Please respect copyright.PENANAXzN6JxjgUt
在食用完畢後,餐具就消失不見,阿爾法看著再次浮出的新規則,低喃著「這什麼鬼」而後站起身,拉開他們身側看似牆壁實際是披著帷幕的拉門,探出去張望,「跟上面說的一樣耶,司洛利,你過來。」468Please respect copyright.PENANApgWNWpNm9t
468Please respect copyright.PENANAhokUcGBfA5
下人依主子的話走近,豈料在他剛穿過帷幕、什麼都還沒看清楚就感到有人從他背後用力一推,尚未反應過來就感覺自己掉入了一團冰冷的軟綿物體中。468Please respect copyright.PENANA8T7aZci5wu
468Please respect copyright.PENANA06SMRRyisu
幾秒後他從那裡面爬出來才得以呼吸,司洛利撥開黏在眼皮上的一片溼潤,才發覺這竟是一池半融化的奶油,濃稠的奶味浸滿全身,頭髮及肌膚全沾滿白花花的奶油,染於臉龐的部份有些液化地順著臉部線條滑下,他本想伸手撇去,可連衣物都被這片白攻佔,最終金眸只能聚焦在上方帶著笑的阿爾法。468Please respect copyright.PENANARopR8nJuXJ
468Please respect copyright.PENANAni5AUFg80R
「是上面寫『把壽星沾滿奶油』的哦。」阿爾法一臉的事不關己,將紙張遞了出去,證明他所言不假,「所以才不是我的錯。」看這人的樣子,那塊蛋糕顯然不合胃口。468Please respect copyright.PENANAUfSySi0nwW
468Please respect copyright.PENANAGdQ2EnPtNp
「那殿下也陪在下一起吧。」468Please respect copyright.PENANAwlv1h59jO7
468Please respect copyright.PENANAlVnsbnXK1t
司洛利話剛出口就伸手抓住阿爾法的褲管,用力一拽就將整個人給拉了下來,笑容滿面地看著被突然吞下去的奶油嗆得咳嗽連連、處境變得和他相同的自家主人。468Please respect copyright.PENANAIVrmmFbnEU
468Please respect copyright.PENANAAamlRrljTg
不過,很快司洛利的惡趣味就轉為感到不妙的心態,對方因為嗆到而泛紅的臉、以及抹去嘴角白液的動作、還有哀怨地瞪著他的紅眼,都讓他覺得再看下去事情會往不太妙的方向發展。468Please respect copyright.PENANAM4ygcUo7eq
468Please respect copyright.PENANArv2ARDGrOt
「司洛利,」阿爾法突然啟口。468Please respect copyright.PENANAhsC0sxk3bl
468Please respect copyright.PENANAGQmF7Pn9xu
「是的?」468Please respect copyright.PENANAUv6lGxCPeS
468Please respect copyright.PENANAjMYWSL8eWr
「生日快樂。」468Please respect copyright.PENANAWkqovfwXBj
468Please respect copyright.PENANAxhjZRhCd8S
藍髮青年伸手抹去金髮青年頰上的白痕,笑道:「謝謝,殿下今年也乖乖過生日吧。」468Please respect copyright.PENANATYweJa9crG
468Please respect copyright.PENANAqrAwM349rQ
「才不要。……喂,這些奶油怎麼辦?」468Please respect copyright.PENANApmAkVJt4fY
468Please respect copyright.PENANAlWaejz3Yz5
「殿下的部份,在下會幫您清乾淨的。」468Please respect copyright.PENANAUgHsGm86NX
