：別被外表給欺騙了
269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY1uYDNZRYu
「發生什麼事了！」哈吉爾一聽見湯花急切的叫，不顧二郎還在更衣室內大喊著叫他回來，直直衝進泡湯區。269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFP57A5exlt
269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWG99AsJZuf
憑著聲音衝破霧氣來到淋浴區，哈吉爾低頭，深怕看到不該看的東西只敢盯著地面，卻看到趴在地面的和梨，不禁睜大了眼。269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxHGxirxaaU
269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv0BqEBBD3x
「和——」269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKE27SFSVCV
269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJT0h9HTORx
「你來得正好。」湯花指著泛著漣漪的池子那頭，「和梨是被那隻怪物傷成這樣的，你去看一下。」269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqoK7Y4DKQG
269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuyusvpSr1N
起初看到光著身子的和梨時內心還閃過片刻的羞澀，哈吉爾隨即注意到她身上不規則的瘀青及傷口，心情轉為擔心，然而在聽到湯花的話語後，他內心便是一把火衝上來。269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL8WKpcTg8V
269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuZrn8q2PS1
即使毫不猶豫地將腳尖轉向了，他仍不忘確認，「妳有看到怪物長怎樣嗎？」269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6h7Y5dMiLF
269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlxc1e87lOO
「本體在水裡，我沒看到，只有看到透明觸手縮回去了。」269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdH6C5o7Iw2
269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5EnOyS4ehU
接著便是一陣無人開口的寂靜，哈吉爾遲遲沒有過去，似乎是在思考著什麼，畢竟貿然行動可是討罰怪物時的大忌。269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPtYeHPTd4u
269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn5E1Gd7V3C
直到二郎從更衣室裡追出來才打破現場的沉默。269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTQZk2XhVyl
269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWbi7q29etW
「怎麼回事？」他把剛才費了數十秒才找到的乾淨浴巾扔給湯花，後者立刻將其鋪蓋在和梨身上，「池子裡有怪物。」269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzf1vuXxZaF
269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOUEXqoPV7S
二郎認識的怪物種類並不多，水中生物就更少了，他只能聯想到不久前在河裡遭遇到的怪物。269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRII1OZnV2o
269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCI8GBsY9QJ
一不注意就會奪取同伴性命的怪物。269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK1eGCPkGYD
269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡimSw1nZzNo
腰際的兩把武士刀在衝刺的步伐間碰撞著，哈吉爾聽見身後開始了疾速腳步聲，當陣風從身旁越過，他一把拉住對方，「二郎你等一下！」269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4nfVQeqdn4
269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0yDe2U8bhj
「妳先帶著和梨離開這裡。」哈吉爾先是轉頭對著湯花喊道，見對方搭著和梨的肩踉蹌離開，他這才鬆開手對二郎解釋，「你不知道是什麼怪物吧？貿然過去太危險了。」269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkGTCzcp1bm
269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqUgSSoocz8
「難道要在這裡等牠自己上岸嗎？」二郎左手將刀鞘握得更緊些。269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3gdYuCqh24
269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTe8an4LLBq
「我大概有點頭緒，你能幫我個忙嗎？」269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKvPmhuopab
269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ39FBMf0cbc
說是幫忙，倒不如說是什麼都不要幫。269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRluDl79k6O
269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEBRBcBPyyF
這就是哈吉爾的要求——提輕腳步到池子邊待命，什麼事都不要做，等他下一步指示。269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt3qplAVCmK
269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMwfAqnWoew
二郎有些不情願的在池邊等候著，他看得出來水裡有個巨大影子，但溫泉水並非清澈透明、加上空氣中的霧氣濃厚，他仍舊看不清怪物的樣貌。269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWDQGr2L2w7
269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7XQrfbzzSZ
從影子的輪廓來看，至少這次的怪物比迷加歐烏的體積小多了，剛才一聽到怪物在水裡而繃緊的神經這才鬆懈下來。269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMJx2dzt7LN
269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡskL3VrnYn6
至於哈吉爾，他持續盯著池子不敢大意，身子慢慢退到淋浴區，向後伸手隨意打開了蓮蓬頭，水聲嘩啦嘩啦冒出，令遠處的二郎一頭霧水。269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhI9ERqGk9V
269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM4c8NxOzUH
「嗚嗚……嗚嗚嗚嗚……」269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZAB6GAtJr6
269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLIKK763Vkf
果然！哈吉爾眯眼，他的猜測似乎沒錯。269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz2envrMK3u
269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuixdgthDnJ
看二郎聽見哭聲差點要問些什麼，哈吉爾立刻在嘴前比出食指要他安靜。269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFozHpBEawh
269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbDLK5S6Edq
「嗚嗚……」哭聲持續著，迴盪在整個池畔，越來越大聲、越來越清晰。269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh27mV24TYN
269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiakUEodqhT
過不了多久，兩個人都看見水中浮出許多泡泡，一個小女孩跟著浮出水面，她的背朝上，整個臉浸在水裡載浮載沉，根本與屍體無異。269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡce09Dtm7gh
269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡorEtWJAl7e
臉都泡在水裡了，哭聲打哪來的啊。二郎克制住出聲吐槽的慾望，遵從指示安靜在一旁看著。269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6Vg2hGQK2q
269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtI5rgeOu7v
「二郎！這傢伙是初階的魚型怪物，只敢在人落單的時候行動，牠現在以為只有我一個人在這裡！」哈吉爾喊道：「那個小女孩是牠身體的一部分，是誘餌，碰到的話應該會被電到！」269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJxwfXE3ExX
269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsXy8fPgQa3
那我要怎麼做？二郎聳肩並將兩掌朝上邊搖頭，他的刀肯定會導電的。269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTUc8JEsz5H
269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDWcBvEukie
哈吉爾迅速環視四周，雖然白霧茫茫視野狹窄，他還是隱約能看到大致上的室內結構。269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHs7H67ftXk
269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKrWKheJJ3G
「有了。」他指向角落一個圓形池區，那裡有一尊比人還要大的魚型石像坐鎮，滾燙泉水正從魚嘴巴不斷流出，「你砍得斷它嗎？」269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ90FEKQW8qc
269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGnWZ7ZTwiq
二郎頭搖得可快了。269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOv3ay6bcFO
269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoj1gtvnoMx
要他砍竹或砍再硬的怪物都行，畢竟他總能從較脆弱的關節處下手，但要他砍一尊巨大石像？他的手可能會先斷掉。269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡePIQuCYu5M
269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgBQ19o689U
「不要緊，我會輔助你！總之只要把石像扔到水裡，怪物受到驚嚇應該就會衝出水面了！」269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvmCvTJ5Mm0
269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡikDPPm1TRx
在哈吉爾解釋的同時，哭泣聲依然持續著，「嗚嗚嗚……」或許是怪物感到困惑，牠假扮成小女孩的誘餌從水裡滑動，慢慢飄向哈吉爾的方位。269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzTCx4eKcUP
269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTdHUiZFP0W
還能有什麼辦法？二郎根本不認得這怪物，如果哈吉爾不在的話他應該會直接跳進水裡把怪物給斬了。269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOGAdV2DMjc
269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPhi9KfrGzE
他就只是晚個幾秒從更衣室裡衝出來，就看到受傷的伙伴，連怪物本體的模樣都沒見到，那他也只能夠聽哈吉爾的了。269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMFtbGAgK6I
269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz4Lm4wpjHZ
二郎只好認命點點頭架好準備姿勢，哈吉爾也同時聚精會神地把魔力集中在二郎的刀鋒。269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1IK0zHQpJn
269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqGJTVH0ae9
淺藍與深藍的光暈交錯環繞在刀身，斬擊的瞬間，石像彷彿被藍色雷射光從中剖半。269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoLmQM8bhi6
269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjHNBc6GKJC
有哈吉爾魔法加持的攻擊有股說不上來的輕盈感，二郎不知道如何形容這種感覺，這跟他自己施魔法時截然不同。但時間不容許他慢慢感受這一切，石像順著斜切面滑落，二郎伸腳一踹將笨重的石塊踢入池中。269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQwXEjXsEF9
269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvjSGNTLgHJ
撲通——！水池濺起三尺高的巨大水花。269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4rWTDvIeo6
269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWgV0E9BaZW
就像翹翹板一樣，這邊石子一落進，另一頭就有個什麼跟著水花嘣了出來。269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxWzOwjhURQ
269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO1hgYMykcN
那是一條長著兩腳的魚，大概像隻大型犬那麼大，頭頂上釣竿繫著的小女孩誘餌此時縮了水，成了個手掌大皺巴巴的巫毒娃娃。269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqLaRHQvLHo
269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtLwjeiqZcr
「二郎，趁現在！」269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ275JsEOobe
269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOxq1J76FhP
隨著橫向銀光劃過的是一道斬開空氣的短音，濃稠的血噴濺四周地面，甚至一些紅色在水裡擴散。269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSeWo86RSVa
269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTJYZ5KpAXB
魚怪受了傷，牠發出淒厲尖叫的血盆大口長著兩根尖銳獠牙，兩腳像青蛙般長著蹼，土綠色的鱗片並不討喜，跟牠的醜陋長相一樣。269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeJeIRmf9Rl
269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0gepqH5NCV
那聲音過於尖銳，兩人一時半刻甚至無法動彈。269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp4GMGQMhOo
269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMU14Wl1nK2
隨著魚怪物的尖叫聲擴張，牠頭頂釣著的誘餌小女孩再度膨脹成一般孩童的大小之後，如蜥蜴斷尾一樣連接的觸手從中切斷，留下一個逼真的假人墊後。269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq1jElKW5p1
269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM8fqcaVbjM
通往更衣室的門沒有關上，眼看魚怪物就要逃走了，哈吉爾單手朝前一揮，毛玻璃門立刻拉上。269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9fIhnAKlE7
269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4ZmnzuMdTn
哐啷！！！269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ30ijAR70SO
269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzNjSUuJ9Fy
一點用也沒有，怪物衝破門讓玻璃碎了滿地，留下一滴又一滴的血痕在地上。269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnj3dG6WgpL
269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHf1ZLJckIi
「呀———————！」269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2VgKS6O7Ac
269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNNtQyAZfxE
女性尖叫聲從破裂的門內傳來，二郎與哈吉爾這時從方才的聲波攻擊中解放，追了上去。269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzqU1FSC6Hp
269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡittMzt1zGX
沿著血跡，穿越女更衣室來到大廳，那一坨又一坨的稠狀液體連接到了大門，而大門一樣被撞破了大洞，不規則的洞口邊緣一樣沾滿血跡。269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwI22LzufFu
269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB6bZ266XUO
牠逃走了。269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn3FD3GIRTZ
269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo8EN62bS87
「你們明明有兩個人，為什麼還讓牠逃了？」269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ455ZKy9sT3
269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡagq6Oh6eRe
責備的話語從不遠處傳來，二郎不禁瞪大了眼，「妳說什麼？」269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpCazotJpO4
269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJMEZX5EhHp
當他轉過身發現湯花就站在牆邊，身上沒有一絲戰鬥過的痕跡，內心是一把火燒了起來。269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgi1GCttDsw
269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVx0JBuRel2
身處大廳的湯花只發出稍早前的一聲驚聲尖叫，就任由怪物逃走了。269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNl3jjQsy8h
269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTl5kJNbqtO
「對對對！我們是讓牠逃走了沒錯，那妳看到怪物衝過去怎麼不試著去攔一下！」269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq6LpI76xqC
269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ62Vx7y1xlX
二郎怒吼著準備繼續嗆聲，哈吉爾從身旁衝到牆角的舉動卻打斷了他，「和梨！」269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAucFOvhMgr
269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqvnz00EMyj
「外傷我等等幫妳處理，有沒有哪個部位特別痛的？妳能說話嗎？」哈吉爾眼珠子迅速掃視傷者從頭到腳每一個部位，聽來穩重的嗓音帶點不明顯的顫抖。269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNnKJ4tikmi
269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZO5LfpD7uO
當這畫面入了眼，二郎也沒什麼心情跟湯花吵下去了，更何況……269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIDt98jPhCd
269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCdkvDCbY5z
和梨被帶到牆角看似大廳內最安全的位置坐著休息，衣服也已經穿上了——湯花剛才忙著照顧她。269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrz5Zs7PXol
269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3i2vJogS5F
就算本人個性再怎麼討人厭，這都是事實。269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcytAUnY34D
269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1EbehbxWtx
和梨沒有開口回答哈吉爾，只是一臉鬱悶地搖搖頭，不過大家還是鬆了口氣。269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU4vJgzXJOH
269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg5SOoOGD4N
「那怪物怎麼辦？要追嗎？」二郎問，「把和梨傷成這樣的怪物出去在大街上跑不太妙吧？」269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCWh3EnS7Vz
269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5ScDft1XiH
「這一帶很多冒險者會專程來泡湯放鬆，讓他們處理就好。」湯花直盯著被破壞殆盡的兩扇門與沿路血漬，不免大嘆氣，「我還需要你們留下來幫我善後。」269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDnsTihPnSA
269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKTae1pyVOK
「憑什麼啊！我們根本連溫泉都還沒泡到！」269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡamwz8a1WBu
269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnZyw6fRCNA
「我會退錢給你們，這樣可以了吧？」269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsSMHiy6foc
269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUL65PIdccw
這顯然已經不是錢不錢的問題了，湯花的態度就是會讓人不自覺咬牙，二郎根本就不想再待在這裡。269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz43QCo5CYv
269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡstJYgXoOus
「哈吉爾你留下來照顧和梨，我去追怪物。」269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcMlzvPLRTE
269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡowJ2HNc23w
「二郎，抱歉，這次我也贊同不用追。」微皺的眉頭配上淺笑，哈吉爾的表情有些無奈，「那個怪物等級非常低，離開水面基本上活不了太久的。」269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEu7Q3sPzpR
269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkhrFWGste6
「等級很低？」269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHmdb7si9Fm
269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuDtWmcXKt0
這下換二郎皺眉了，疑惑目光頓時投射到滿是傷痕的和梨身上，只見她注意到視線後身體抖了一下。269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLT2fONnUfg
269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡePcKAtuPSJ
臉上原本的憂鬱再加三分，最後她直接把臉埋進白色浴巾裡頭。269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk73aCPV7r4
269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp5cX92ICGx
「對啦！我就是弱到爆啦！這身傷全是我自己在逃跑的時候滑倒摔的啦！嗚……」269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡntFt8Ld73u
269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbBFg98liCp
手臂、手肘、膝蓋、腳踝與腳趾，那些擦傷與瘀青確實是人跌倒時會受傷的部位，而且池區地滑，外加地面磚塊是有突起小顆粒的材質。269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡorvMli3NyG
269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3k1nlEVm0y
其他三人頓時說不出任何話，場面一度尷尬。
