「看來你準備回歸冒險生活啊。」85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhdvPTgx7KS
店員小姐笑著走近了正在擦拭武器的我。85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5pao5VWbfK
85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡugVPPki1uq
今天沒有去上城區跑腿。85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt3AQPAKadq
一來是因為正在下雨，二來是畢竟剛賺到了一筆錢，不妨給自己放個假。85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJZTEQzXily
85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzVBdJ76RjF
心血來潮之下，打開了久未整理的倉庫，第一件映入眼簾的事物，是一柄手槍。85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRFuxfmFrZX
當年還是冒險者的時候，我闖進了瑪依瑪依島（マイマイ島）遺跡的武器庫翻箱倒櫃，這柄手槍就是其中一件戰利品。85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJcDVWtQyRO
我從未使用過它。只不過看它外型挺漂亮的，便帶了回家收藏。85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4hILXqM4iH
它跟我的過去一樣，很快已被人遺忘。85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBiTRbMce0I
85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyAPSasIG6e
但偶爾，塵封的記憶中也會迸出一絲火星。85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOgrLNuSApP
於是我花了一個下午，仔細刮開它表面的鏽跡，試圖找出什麼。85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhI8lfXcVfc
85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMkuu4Yo1Sk
「嚴格來說，這是退休生活的一部分。85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEcZmMxY0JY
等錢賺夠了，我就會回到屬於我的角落裡。」85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBv5o7mFMw3
85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMLhMuyyIIT
下城區結實不透光的天花板常被居民詬病，可也有一個好處：85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyvDHE5BBW4
不管下多大的雨，下城生活都一如往常。85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPEPhfOVJsO
雨水打在遠處的木質建築上，發出浠浠瀝瀝的聲音。85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhKJN2Mm7Nw
85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj9BvKfstyP
午後是我最為親切的時間。85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDXmfehxiwg
正午的繁囂已過，也還沒有到熱鬧的晚飯時間，咖啡館裡只會有零星幾個客人。85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7LQXao5hNk
85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOmJWMtTYGV
「您確定你那角落是屬於你的嗎？不久前，你的房東還在碎碎念你何時要繳清租金呢。85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZgl8mQonjk
我說，既然你都開始接起委託了，怎麼不加把勁買套房子呢？85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4bYM4AAZAD
我知道有人正急著出讓喔。」85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU41w6gONob
85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7xGiaBfB7X
店員小姐是個喜歡聊天的人。在她那邊，能接收到許多情報。85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYSVW5eFi6y
雖然大多數是經過修飾的。比如，她說正「急著出讓」的房子，至少要比市值貴上一成，或者裡面大部分管道都會不定時冒煙。85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1Cr5TuTdmZ
所以現在就算她說得再動聽，我也只會動動眉毛聊作回應。85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXTgpM3l45D
85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrfuGnvO9n7
平時要是還有別人，她應該就會轉去哄騙其他呆子了。85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDVOiwGAFJc
可是沒有。於是她走到吧檯，倒出了一杯淺紅色的果汁，遞到了我的面前。85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX5vmRrZX3V
85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ95oZDv8E2c
「這杯算是我請的吧。當是您回歸冒險生活的賀禮。」85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtrawCioy8w
我本想細說退休生活與冒險生活的分別，但想了想，辯這種經也沒意思。85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoyEp4HnI6R
於是我接過玻璃杯，仰頭一飲而盡。85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡORqnBmrMSH
85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj23NSsFWKN
細嚐之下，跟平時喝到的普通果汁有種細微的分別。85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNBXetjMdxK
果味新鮮香濃。雖然調配師可能經驗尚淺，尚未能把握協調味覺的精髓；但總體而言算是不錯的。85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqIRvsQ2Hxr
一般果汁多是從下城批發商那進的貨，並不難喝，然而喝久了也就這樣。85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡthcwKBfz2I
85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡulmecK5qou
轉頭一望，店員小姐的職業假笑下似乎隱隱有一絲期待。85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRdKMhvorD0
85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡADZgOxSKfX
「妳調的？」85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsAeqshRzIY
「……是的，怎麼樣？」85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4sApCc8Xav
「生意差到終於進不起貨了嗎？」85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHo1MSDQqL9
85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa4jygKzd8M
她的表情一下就垮了下來。85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXFNbvgYnfr
85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9IyJhNV6w1
「開個玩笑。還不錯。85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTwHxie8DXS
沒有那種甜味劑和合成色素混出來的味道。85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgzWVOPANpx
水果是當天現摘的吧？」85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm181RaTQCU
85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKpheMGetrI
她點了點頭，笑容這才又回到了鬆垮下來的臉上。85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ6GSjFxjAH
至於這是職業還是不職業的笑容，就不得而知了。85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWc5X2xnrJC
85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkjhuxndsTF
「您挺有眼光的嘛。要不要試試本店的高級果汁？85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlPTtobLfIV
當然，這杯就不是免費的了。」85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0fqwtNCh6h
「高級果汁跟普通的有什麼分別？」85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ98SuYWUAGl
85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5pfmEh3kx7
當年還是冒險者時兩種都喝過了不少，但除了價格和顏色之外實在沒有細究兩者的區別。85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxkF126LXHV
85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlZSbNdXaLT
「一般果汁由我以蘋果，甜橙，萊姆，葡萄等鮮果調整而成。雖然也是上上之選，但比起高級果汁可就黯然失色了。85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4pBCj0JPWQ
高級果汁從選材開始就絕不馬虎，分別採用了蘋果，甜橙，萊姆，葡萄；並由高級調酒師人手精心調配，堪稱絕品。更激動人心的是，高級果汁的價格僅僅是一般果汁的兩倍！85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhOclYAF2Kk
鑑於本店的優良傳統，哪怕到了一把銅製萬年筆要價幾千萬G的年代，我們仍堅持絕不加價。」85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbIZOuixsB7
85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhCrIAMkQir
她邊說邊斟，只見亮藍色的果汁填滿了杯子的一半後便絕不寸進，就如一名守禮的紳士。85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhA7iB2dwpb
85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2pEqYzjZMQ
「……那高級調酒師比一般調酒師差在哪？」85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHAUrZHUIdM
「這個嘛，因為本店奉行精簡原則，暫時這兩個職位由一人擔當。85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx5JX0LgKhB
同時這人也是本店最有人氣的前台店員。」85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmO9m8eIwrA
85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcMY0MkVpS0
看了看四周，咖啡館前台除了她之外空無一人。85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSP5wHmNZ6b
我沒好氣地接過了僅有半杯的果汁。85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXjtY4Ka96X
85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ90VfPVfsyK
「妳是怎麼想到要兼職調酒師的？」85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6w20vfzDAu
85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnQdvYLx916
這個女孩從我搬來下城區起就在這工作了。85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtmufZPnLE3
回想起來，她好像跟誰都能聊得起來，但似乎也沒幾個人跟她走得很近的樣子。85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNFvXiKT39Z
85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡakBU65oAQA
「那你幹嘛要接委託？不還是因為窮嘛。85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsb00NzBcEO
我多賺點錢，店主省下那點進貨錢，皆大歡喜不是嗎？」85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfK9Tybo83K
85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6Ta3OyyY96
店員小姐毫不客氣地說穿了我的經濟狀況。85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzLFqQR6DYK
不過比起她平時的職業假笑，我還是喜歡現在這種交流方式。85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUYelKoAcqD
85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnTv3Nm0reY
「那，妳存夠了錢之後想要幹嘛？85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4uKqGJJ8v9
跟我一樣青年時就退休嗎？」85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡncfo7SIEHY
85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEHtjs4aVX5
我看著放在桌上，擦得鋥亮的手槍。85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2Z2vmSMjAu
擦拭多時，冰冷的金屬上多少吸收了一些人體的溫度。85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMmxWwAdUke
……不論怎麼說，想在這個時候就退休還是不簡單啊。85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfQDOUsikoc
85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpCvbX8Tu1L
「……想要把這家咖啡館接下來自己幹。」85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzxyRJfzO78
「啥？」85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlzSQGQFoKW
85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTeJPOctsyK
她給出了我意料之外的答案。85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡApl2FraKld
85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1l8g7neOsI
「說是夢想也好，還是事業也好，我想要接手這家咖啡館。85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZKvQkiiTYf
老闆身體不行了，有意在幾年內回鄉養老。85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPlx1OJpu6D
要是那時候我還沒存夠錢買下店面，這家咖啡館就要倒閉了。」85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8CdchgvGgh
85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfvzm2LEnh3
店員小姐背對著我，望向立在內側店門上的木製招牌。85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaPUgDHfmzW
85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2H6MA7pgsc
「非要這家不可嗎？85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRv8bG3ogL4
如妳所見，下城區負擔得起下午茶的人可不多。也就只有我這種上流客人了。85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHlkx8xFA2N
真要開店的話，再存點錢開在上城區也許更好喔。」85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX3CwdXh4re
85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYhFLS97P9I
我呷著僅餘的一點高級果汁，仔細觀察她的反應。85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBdV181lkB1
還是跟先前的普通果汁一樣，除了新鮮和青澀之外嚐不出什麼。85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa8m5ib2KGC
不過，最重要的果然是——85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlzD0QbCXOe
85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1TxUN4uvd4
「那你怎麼不多存點錢在上城區租房子？85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1VP3LCSqQh
我就是喜歡這裡，不行嗎？」85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMylnSjtqA2
85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiYYIHyHmBJ
店員小姐冷冷地頂了回來。85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXiJfFuHYwK
她的理由無關經濟也無關管理，毫無道理可言。85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡloL8MyBWOi
但，最重要的果然是熱情吧。85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU08NLifGfZ
85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ28saS47CSB
反正是買的，大不了當房子住，也不至於沒有客人就會虧欠租金。85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKfDnz8aFP9
85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtoZa5TBa6J
「那我索性也合伙吧。85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiMyygFnXeC
我也不想從此少了一個下午休憩的場所。」85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFwzVgesd4o
85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwB0rx3w4ht
店員小姐又露出了平時罕見的驚訝表情。85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFHv6G01yXw
今天來這咖啡館真的來對了。85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGeGlclS041
85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0tMiFg8xZV
「……你哪來的閒錢？不是說連退休生活都要暫緩了嗎？」85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡszJ1n0eeYU
85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMxXH5Q5icQ
她雖然不太相信，但語氣中帶著一點點期待。85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv8rMLKDDwO
85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNYAfEm6YBx
「有什麼辦法，多接點委託就是了。85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnBje2jLUAz
妳不也是為了賺那點中介費，不惜推銷那種狗都不要的垃圾房子嗎？」85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpfovevOagt
85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe9a7tUgEci
之前不明白為什麼她老是在哄騙人買東西，現在總算知道她努力的理由了。85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ82bRPNTKcB
既然如此，那我也來出一分力吧。也免得她又去禍害別人。85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeDQ786ChuX
85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTL3s7HD2YX
「連你也不要，那看來真的是狗都不要了。」85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1xVn8jQImJ
85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡklXqZxwtra
店員小姐嘆了口氣，撕掉了貼在看板的售房告示。85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTOjzO6NGAz
這話聽起來好像有什麼問題，可我一時又說不出來。85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0RJyuLKza4
85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVslKAkuCWi
「……既然決定要合夥，那就告訴你我的名字吧。85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgv6nNpgJXU
我叫澤妮亞（Zennia），要記住喔。」85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCxhKom3kdp

85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW76oOjoKc1
今天的委託是探索無限迴廊中層。85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1rDceuyDOv
跟衝天塔一樣，無限迴廊也是埃米爾界為了緩解資源短缺問題而修建的人造建築。85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpJdg30vdwT
但比起成功通往異世界的衝天塔，無限迴廊現在更像是深不見底的大坑，裡面堆滿了魔物。85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd5hfaQO1Vr
85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzkwfznBddp
然而，也不是沒有找到有用的資源。85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9iZhDBNAfV
就如對阿高普路斯主權問題和新世界開發的爭議一樣，四國簽署了君子條約，決定互不干涉。85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhijuxLy64H
但這協議君子之餘，還有點粗暴——誰先找到的，就是誰的。85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0w3vduJtuT
85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfmwigIKL5P
因此，我接下了摩根市政府的探索委託。85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJwKf6dUvaB
雖然西國在勞工問題上頗遭詬病，但西國人有句話：只要你不是西國人，在西國就是人上人。85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXfkASeXLiI
他們對外人，比對自己人好多了。85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwJXZqByHBX
85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLMBmwimEBV
說來奇怪，本來早前連前往南國的路都覺得難走，現在穿過步伐沙漠卻沒有一點不適。85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6jn1sCyFyk
我攫著一點錢，跟無限迴廊的門衛握了握手。85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwZ72BK0Gbf
門衛掂了掂份量，沒有多說什麼，便把我引到了通往中層４１樓的電梯。85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDbk95tHEEO
85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTuNRom9SvC
無限迴廊淺層已經被徹底開發，變成新冒險者的訓練場了，那邊沒法找到什麼有價值的東西。85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNPQYvGCSYx
但從４２樓開始就不同了。85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnTCoFHLrJE
我輕易找到了委託者要求的石板，用油布包好，並放進背包的防震夾層。85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpUYcG5tA8S
接下來就是我的時間了。85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRPeVllr6u4
85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9PimapDtWT
中層的魔物多種多樣，但總體跟地表上的差異不大。85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuRbPuteeuJ
但在這個動物權益保障局管不到的地方，那些野豬野牛可要遭殃了。85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoPqOzktVnp
85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrncGkT0yqP
我手槍上膛，獵刀出鞘，四處查看有什麼生物可以加入下城咖啡館的新菜單。85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG6tmLYgDzr
85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkuPDt7YwQW
比如遠處的那頭牛就是一個不錯的目標。85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8mz3chbXWE
牠跟牛牛草原的牛群顯然有血緣關係；但眼神兇狠，動作迅捷，遠勝於牠的同種。85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC0YkzXTepO
看來無限迴廊的環境不只鍛鍊了冒險者們啊。85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKzXyYdJhIn
85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT5eDgiifvJ
我抬手射擊，子彈出膛，火光準確無誤地打在了魔物的眉心。85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk3BRwFLnNI
雖然如此，魔物卻只晃了晃，額頭滲血，目光狠狠地盯著尚在冒煙的槍口。85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkGh5cQn2yW
85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ94PZ1YlPsA
——上次戰鬥已經是多久之前的事了呢？85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaQG7ozH2CH
多年的沉澱使我心靜如水。我彷彿一個第三者，指揮著身體躲閃魔物的猛攻。85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIQZrliuuDH
但是槍法和身手明顯衰退了。以前長槍短炮是我四肢的延伸；但現在我甚至記不清彈夾裡還有多少發子彈。85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6nxHYsDkHT
85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS8yLVMgHEf
糾纏良久，魔物渾身是血，而我也被逼到了牆角。85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWR3fifCV9b
牠突然後退兩步，並發出震耳欲聾的咆哮。85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡop0qEELMNQ
85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSZvI1gCr7S
即使在耳鳴之中，我仍清晰地辨認到這是衝鋒的先兆。85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9cLbZURJMc
魔物畢竟是魔物，並不會隱藏自己的殺著。85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3B0LL6ndiF
85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqgvZ0LMPA5
我微微蹲伏，往側面一退，左臂支地，右手緊持尖刀。85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiR491rhgTI
魔物如鐵鎚般砸在了牆上，泥石灰塵滾滾而下。85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPCfqBIzJSR
早已準備就緒的我如同獵犬般搶到身下，一刀就刺進了魔物的喉嚨，順勢一拖，割開了一個大口子。85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuunwpShc4z
85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd4VJdoZAjD
我放開刀柄，著地打滾，以防魔物垂死的掙扎。85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAsbZ2NiisX
魔物龐大的身軀只扭動了幾下，隨即前肢跪倒，再也起不來了。85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9oPmXNghpc
85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGxrdnT7Hmb
我擦了擦額上的汗，開始驗收戰利品。85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjwDOmqPfgo
牛角是要帶走的，也許能製成酒杯；至不濟也能當成裝飾。85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdLF6WbP98Z
牛肉只能挑珍貴的部位割下。雖然可惜，但剩下來的肉就便宜了別的魔物了。85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGD9DtwOa9h
牛皮太重了，再說血淋淋的背回下城肯定會被動物權益保障局當成偷獵者看待。85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxXbx25sctz
85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw40ADF6Gag
理想十分美好，可我實在不是一個有經驗的獵人。85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbo6Up5xTFl
除了牛角勉強算是取了下來之外，別的部分被我戳得滿是坑洞，但仍切不下完整的一塊。85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnyTkkos7tf
好牛肉都被糟蹋了。85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡac7VQl9C4y
85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy2VQibSise
眼見血腥氣愈來愈濃，魔物腳步聲愈來愈多，我只得隨意割斷幾塊牛肉，拋下剩下的部分落荒而逃。85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjOVTwebAjF

晚上，正在打掃門面的澤妮亞盯著我血淋淋的麻布包問道。85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc9TBjv3uH5
85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9yTP7ujRNj
回去下城區並沒有出門時那麼容易。85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNhxnlwQzG9
即使戴上了手套，我還是被魔物的血濺得一身都是；要是堂堂正正通過吊橋的話肯定會被盤問。85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjEX6AyMzEP
幸好西軍騎士們十分好說話，只要錢給足了，他們絲毫不在意我跟他們一起走騎士團專用通道入城。85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcewSlCYPFW

澤妮亞略有點狼狽地接住了我拋出的小袋子。85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡABsgqt9nfX
我也不管她的回應，徑自扛著布袋走進廚房。85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD1ro7TlyVW
85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhU9JLyGJTj
雖然我廚藝不精，但我所割下的畢竟是牛肉最為柔嫩的部位，還是可以一吃的吧。85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0IEWTDiCtU

「冒險者講究的就是拿得起放得下。85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmJKhGUpLxh
命還在，錢就還會來。倒是妳趕緊存起來錢買下咖啡館才是正經。」85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDiCBIL5Vgl

牛肉被獵刀戳得稀爛，都沒有高級牛肉的賣相了。85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcm51sDV1Tr
好在只是一頓簡餐，隨便烤出焦香就好。85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiwScH26lyW
85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡObENkctNMd
「…………那些委託，很危險吧？85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9IFxXwO3hp
你身上的這些血……」85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡczknnJ5hoP
85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZz3a8O4kZT
聽見澤妮亞的聲線略有點顫抖，我只得回過身去。85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjo7bAOWMxi
當初妳推委託給我的時候可不是這樣說的。85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1f6gi3s5IE
85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPN8wA0ob52
「妳要吃嗎？」85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD5OueYOR2i
「哎？」85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb093wZK3zk
85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrsQFJt8DLh
再糾纏於現在的話題也是無濟於事。85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgRAB9O3I3y
倒不如趕緊把心思轉移到別的地方，比如吃飯。85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ63UGpbVNF9

牛排做得硬不奇怪，做得生也不奇怪，神奇的是外面硬，裡面生。85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDmZOoppjE3
我跟澤妮亞相顧無言，默默吃飯。85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfzpjwoiVeZ
85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlt9FStEdVN
「看來我暫時是幹不了駐店廚師這行啦。」85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFR0vMoLuY6
85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG8zH65c2DP
我仰頭喝下一口高級果汁（免費），不無感慨。85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ38tzKNQXPS
85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMAgJSsCDj3
「……也就是你日後還有此打算嗎？」85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgYl10rQUZa
她婉轉地表達了她對這頓飯的不滿。85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTRM5OZb6m4
85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQcwPEednH1
「當然了。我可是一直都想把冒險生活遇到的珍奇魔物送到每個下城人的餐桌的。85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP4mVDGKxhu
飄流水鄉的貝殼，海底洞窟的海龍，好吃的品種多著呢。到時候這家店肯定客似雲來。85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx2W2M0IEL8
不過當年負責野炊的不是我就是了。」85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpo2ffVO6Bd
85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqtiUENKDZ2
我吹的牛把澤妮亞唬得一愣一愣的。85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpI9hGmEPxD
其實海底洞窟那個呼吸都有困難的環境，哪兒能生得起火。85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2ADjcFF8UP
85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNWrQo6k1x1
「……這些聽起來都是珍稀物種啊。煮了吃沒問題嗎？」85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9NAAAipqiv
「塔尼亞世界的珍稀物種關我們埃米爾界什麼事？85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxQMZxW4XCG
再說，那可是在次元洞窟。吃光了再去另一個次元就好了。85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ98BiYjLms4
那邊動物權益保障局可管不著。」85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡImEePXsUD8
85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3bv4uMnUQf
我們相視一笑，碰了碰杯，把剩下的果汁一飲而盡。85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDOr3gn5FAG
即使前路難測，但這一刻，我們都在為了自己而活。85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjT94XGgGCv
85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHM8LptB6U2
我曾經有過迷失路途的時候。85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaFextfwEYI
為了力量，為了財富，尋覓的盡頭，還是更長的尋覓。85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5jF18t6UQf
直到鯨魚離開了這個世界，一切都戛然而止。85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡznIxAUN36w
85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDAigMZCYbs
在下城區冰冷的床鋪上，我數著自己得到了什麼，又失去了什麼。85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRvpm4iVuWS
我對世界一無所知。對世界上活著的人一無所知。85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmEPS4pj5zc
我的冒險不是為了自己，也不是為了別人。只是在追尋不存在的東西。85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPJmP1Dxiti
85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWRhLQuSKFD
我舉著蒼白的旗幟，卻以為掌握了世界。85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQwjoLwL6wV
85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZaeCu3LXMR
但是，即使目標從一開始就錯了，旅程也不會沒有價值。85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCy469dpDzc
那些曾被我拋棄遺忘的知識，如今就像深埋塵土的黃金般發著光芒。85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf2F0xCOGX7
85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwC5NngtlCf
我從未如此感覺到我的靈魂存在於此。85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk4eMEILEgP
我正憑藉自己的能力，為另一個靈魂帶來希望。85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI3bILXJ0Pm
就如阿伊恩薩烏斯那個占卜師說的，冒險者的靈魂會散發光輝。85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoSvB6s8vB6
85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXUAYi1qL27
即使在睡夢之中，我仍在計劃明天的行程，對未來充滿期待。85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnBR3yQIiL9
85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5PIeMcoQn3
直到我們一大清早就在搶廁所用為止。85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSkkqvoBux8
下次在食用野味之前，真該先搗碎一枚解毒果實一起煮的。85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡslmYrv5ORe
