放學時間,伸一再次來到學生會室的門口。他停在門口前,吞一下口水,不敢進去,因為門的後面,就是新的開始,同時意味未來他會牽涉在奇怪的事件中。

艾倫降落在主人的肩膀上,對他微笑。
127Please respect copyright.PENANAydMcdsnqw4
127Please respect copyright.PENANA7MpicMZSLa
「去吧,伸一。」
127Please respect copyright.PENANAXVyUQ2slRm
127Please respect copyright.PENANAoW18S9v3VR
伸一深呼吸,打開門。
127Please respect copyright.PENANAPKAzdusLx2
127Please respect copyright.PENANAWzbbLONPxp
「歡迎加入The Empire!」
127Please respect copyright.PENANAiOi235mBgi
127Please respect copyright.PENANAgQS7mq7daI
愉悅的氣氛充斥整個房間,跟伸一預想的有極大反差。伸一呆了,不懂反應。在講台上,他們都是嚴肅的,現在他們居然全都變成小孩子,在開派對。桌上海量的點心和零食,就是最佳證明。
127Please respect copyright.PENANABclJCAE6v1
127Please respect copyright.PENANAkaTkaLgtv8
「來,先坐一下。」美娜將他拉到沙發前,讓他坐好。
127Please respect copyright.PENANARqScyWdDwC
127Please respect copyright.PENANAXjdSnAkhjp
「要不要一包?」阿光的手疊在伸一的肩膀,遞上一包特大洋蔥片。伸一點頭,收下了。
127Please respect copyright.PENANAyD8JGvwLqi
127Please respect copyright.PENANAeGbxRF8Q1P
「艾倫,過來這邊。零食已經為你準備好了。」美美和其他守護甜心也在好好招待新來的甜心。
127Please respect copyright.PENANAvsOiVDPMT1
127Please respect copyright.PENANAUeJdmyJAmZ
「嗚啊呀——許多食物啊!」艾倫盯著桌上的點心,垂涎三尺。
127Please respect copyright.PENANALLGL0xyq3C
127Please respect copyright.PENANA4f5AmxVnHF
「那我們快點開動吧。」布魯斯已經伸手去抓杯子蛋糕,但路克一下手刀把他的貪玩之手斬開。
127Please respect copyright.PENANAQ9klRNkN6F
127Please respect copyright.PENANAjW9oi6On9R
「請再等一下!」
127Please respect copyright.PENANAkMryZpbaMY
127Please respect copyright.PENANAPTk2y84c60
「……為什麼會在派對?」伸一只能吐出這問題。
127Please respect copyright.PENANApG55ki9AZv
127Please respect copyright.PENANAG8q3IL7agn
「在歡迎你啊,」大輔道:「歡迎你成為The Empire的Pawn!這學年多多關照。」
127Please respect copyright.PENANA4s9dJK55Fo
127Please respect copyright.PENANAVdMMib3Dti
「多多關照!」其他人和守護甜心異口同聲。
127Please respect copyright.PENANA3gqhJycrPQ
127Please respect copyright.PENANAiPbiAJ0D2M
「……嗯。」伸一在沒其他能給的反應之下,默默點頭了。
127Please respect copyright.PENANAcqiCaTfNKP
127Please respect copyright.PENANAzogRkwlVow
六個人和六隻守護甜心坐下,開始點心派對。
127Please respect copyright.PENANAJHySYtPp7o
127Please respect copyright.PENANA74C5r1odHM
「很久沒試過這樣了,」翔太拿著一片曲奇餅,吃得津津有味:「工作一直都很多,都沒時間坐下輕鬆一下。」
127Please respect copyright.PENANAWVel8TaAJx
127Please respect copyright.PENANAIKiEKiwq4q
「那個……昨天那件事怎樣處理?」伸一問道。
127Please respect copyright.PENANAg6hzBDwguC
127Please respect copyright.PENANAaj2hg7ePDW
「先暫且別管,現在先享受當下!」阿光拍拍他的肩膀,叫他別擔心。
127Please respect copyright.PENANAKIL4wzmrNe
127Please respect copyright.PENANAZWf79P0lhE
「我不客氣了。」
127Please respect copyright.PENANAIKKmSxj10T
127Please respect copyright.PENANAQBCIlosEB1
「喂!我先看中這個的啊!」
127Please respect copyright.PENANArMwheoynn2
127Please respect copyright.PENANAT8vIABRVTm
「這跟我無關!」
127Please respect copyright.PENANAHUnfVG32sF
127Please respect copyright.PENANA5dUu4PqgNR
「啊——」
127Please respect copyright.PENANADGAodCF1bB
127Please respect copyright.PENANAGLaqXcshrG
「艾倫,要不要一點茶?」
127Please respect copyright.PENANAxJEqVpLvsa
127Please respect copyright.PENANAXoOGjtnPwK
「好的。謝謝。」
127Please respect copyright.PENANAty9Yt9O5gx
127Please respect copyright.PENANAahrEJLndWE
看著守護甜心們有說有笑,像是有生命的指頭娃娃在零食之間移動,伸一不禁會心微笑。這是艾倫誕生多年來,第一次近距離接觸其他守護甜心。以前縱然會碰到同類,但也不過於點頭、打招呼。艾倫這回的笑容,是他一生中見過最燦爛的。
127Please respect copyright.PENANArHVaR0Z6T6
127Please respect copyright.PENANAcIDsmPDDWx
事實上,伸一也覺得自己這回的笑容很燦爛。他一手抓起大量洋蔥片,一口吃下去,滋味無窮,比家中更好。
127Please respect copyright.PENANAFwoXmg3GK3
大輔看著伸一:「Pawn,明天早上開始我會帶你認識我們的工作,知道嗎?」
127Please respect copyright.PENANAltBHHOmtLg
127Please respect copyright.PENANAWi7MoRmozH
「嗯!」
127Please respect copyright.PENANATJyBlPsqkP
127Please respect copyright.PENANA2qw8RCqCxb
「放心。這會跟阿光之前說好的一樣,我們不會要你做太多工作,不會為難你。」
127Please respect copyright.PENANAdg5sWbQuwH
127Please respect copyright.PENANAXVoIE7Vdew
「多多指教了。」伸一微笑。

魔姬和雙胞胎兄弟再次在辨公室會見聖母。
127Please respect copyright.PENANAJNESH0csTd
127Please respect copyright.PENANAWXv69QKHcj
「聖母好。」
127Please respect copyright.PENANAJuNcNfFNHp
127Please respect copyright.PENANAXO8ruVWDMP
房間陷入一片沉默,聖母仍然背對他們,讓陽光將她變成一團影子。
127Please respect copyright.PENANA81P2txZWhd
127Please respect copyright.PENANAxMsVpzvCgb
「……聖母?」京介首先發言。
127Please respect copyright.PENANASMJC3Dg1K0
127Please respect copyright.PENANAVHjQ0xt9pH
「京介,聽聞昨天你擅自出動了?而且你輸了。」
127Please respect copyright.PENANAlpoZ2EQzWa
127Please respect copyright.PENANAJTCyN3dqlI
面對聖母的質問,京介停頓幾秒。
127Please respect copyright.PENANABanmREQs8W
127Please respect copyright.PENANAncSVTNpF8M
「聖母,這是為了收集更多心靈之蛋。請原諒我。」
127Please respect copyright.PENANAMrOybechRB
127Please respect copyright.PENANAsVokZVpeTv
聖母沉默不言,並單手提出一隻發出淺藍色螢光的蛋。蛋在掌心中,發出吸引眼球的光芒。
127Please respect copyright.PENANAqbk7jwlyL9
127Please respect copyright.PENANAILBMNdLea4
「發動。」
127Please respect copyright.PENANA6beHPgYHXY
127Please respect copyright.PENANArIzZaeGAwJ
「Lazer!」
127Please respect copyright.PENANA6rIyqX2qEs
127Please respect copyright.PENANAqBOVgjtXzP
聖母細語後,蛋說出單字,並射出一道鐳射光。幸好京介反應快,踏步避開。鐳射打在背後的牆上,留下一個燒焦點。
127Please respect copyright.PENANAogj8DhgByb
127Please respect copyright.PENANAvxS8wvf6U4
「真不愧是所有實驗品中的精英,閃得很快。」
127Please respect copyright.PENANAQDaHuuB5dT
127Please respect copyright.PENANAussUY7ROjn
京介的腳軟了,坐在地上,手心不斷冒汗。總介馬上扶起他,看看他有沒有狀況。
127Please respect copyright.PENANA7ctKAOUBs1
127Please respect copyright.PENANAl26m098IPA
「這次只是警告,下次不要了。」
127Please respect copyright.PENANAAR9jTYw9yB
127Please respect copyright.PENANAYGoNx8M4E8
「……是的。」京介猛烈點頭,他臉色蒼白,受驚了。
「為了確定你有真心反省,這段時間你不准參加任何任務或訓練。聽到嗎?」
「……是。」
「聖母,難道這就是最近在研發的新型武器蛋?」魔姬問道。
「是的。我手上的雖然只是Alpha版,但威力不錯,我相當滿意。」
聖母轉轉手上的武器蛋,淺藍色的蛋殼在陽光下有寶石一般的光芒。
127Please respect copyright.PENANA62elP7Dp1K
127Please respect copyright.PENANAJT1KQD3qdw
「記住,Genesis是一體的,不准有個人主義。聽到嗎?」
127Please respect copyright.PENANA64TvNJXEGn
127Please respect copyright.PENANA2VY2dr6GqK
「我們當然知道,聖母。請你放心。」總介回應。
127Please respect copyright.PENANAWso2YcXjk6
127Please respect copyright.PENANAowoCRAQMKZ
「很好。」聖母十分滿意。

另一天的早上,伸一跟著學生會在校園內東奔西撲,學習學生會基本工作,之後課堂又開始上層次與小學差天共地的課程,好不容易才支持到放學。
127Please respect copyright.PENANA6QTSz0J0Mw
127Please respect copyright.PENANApwL6a4ioCj
「我……來……了……」伸一喘著氣,打開學生會房門。
127Please respect copyright.PENANAT30DWbGR9Q
127Please respect copyright.PENANAfb7S8BHaBx
「伸一,今早辛苦了。」美娜繼續掛上公主式的笑容,而其餘人早已到齊了。
127Please respect copyright.PENANAJBBQJNoF6a
127Please respect copyright.PENANAMWc0v8ymhH
「嗯……」伸一疲倦地點頭,旁邊的艾倫只能苦笑。
127Please respect copyright.PENANA7IeEUjQLQl
127Please respect copyright.PENANACLqBN0TkUC
「不過現在不是休息的時間。來,快坐好。我們終於知道對手是誰了。」早乙女拍拍旁邊空置的沙發位,要伸一過來坐。
127Please respect copyright.PENANA10BMdgv2Wm
127Please respect copyright.PENANAduwD7ANzeQ
「對手?」伸一有點不理解。
127Please respect copyright.PENANAgO3WI9sD1W
127Please respect copyright.PENANAiJUAZ0nLf0
「嗯,那群抽取他人心靈之蛋,將別人弄得奇奇怪怪的人。」阿光點頭。
127Please respect copyright.PENANAgR072saUp2
127Please respect copyright.PENANApmdxMCbDxo
伸一腦光一閃:「啊!我記得那些蛋上有一個六角星圖案,我記得它們代表的是……」
127Please respect copyright.PENANAnd5kqfbt1f
127Please respect copyright.PENANA5K4KSJCpFM
「不用猜了,」大輔道:「是Genesis財團。」
127Please respect copyright.PENANAigVEAKWmb9
127Please respect copyright.PENANAqRdB1TTpBE
他將一張角落印有六角星的文件放在玻璃桌中央。英文字Genesis呈斜體,清楚地寫在六角星旁邊。
127Please respect copyright.PENANADdReYPhYAG
127Please respect copyright.PENANArKOecxY6By
「Genesis?聽說這財團的實力和Easter不分上下的啊!」翔太對於事件涉及Genesis財團感到意外。
127Please respect copyright.PENANA82byF23LMu
127Please respect copyright.PENANALw3Cy9c7By
「Genesis財團的業務遍佈全球,包含多個範疇。超市、娛樂、房屋……你能說出來的,他們大概都有涉及當中。」早乙女道。
127Please respect copyright.PENANA5viQFRf8rM
127Please respect copyright.PENANAfYD3CcKBT3
「包括零食嗎?」布魯斯問。
127Please respect copyright.PENANA3G4hDkZQ5E
127Please respect copyright.PENANAVKNGIjPu16
「對。昨天的包裝杯子蛋糕,出產商就是Genesis。」凌兵回應。
127Please respect copyright.PENANADUy1DhwG9l
127Please respect copyright.PENANAM8jR1QENmh
「噢!」
127Please respect copyright.PENANAbFMEpjm4bs
127Please respect copyright.PENANA2iTrdPj3DX
「說起娛樂,他們最近好像在興建賭場和遊樂場,」阿光又說:「我記得它們分別叫Genesis Galaxy和Genesis Garden。他們是要對抗DreamEgg Land嗎?」
127Please respect copyright.PENANA9AA63BUuF3
127Please respect copyright.PENANAsmvzsXSkfw
「啊——我和翔太上星期到DreamEgg Land一遊,裡面的遊樂設施的確令人靈感大開。」小筆合上眼睛,回憶那時的樂趣。
127Please respect copyright.PENANAj8lAuYTJE8
127Please respect copyright.PENANAeIrWVzWr9Z
「嗯!票價雖然貴了點,但值得去。」連主人也和議。
127Please respect copyright.PENANA9C8alEMhIV
127Please respect copyright.PENANAjVDdl52Jw3
「咳咳——我們可以不談零食或娛樂嗎?」
127Please respect copyright.PENANAZk0pl6NQCN
127Please respect copyright.PENANAPl4bmHbjIS
早乙女只是提高一下聲量,就讓所有人和守護甜心都住口,回到正題去。
127Please respect copyright.PENANADOeL5C9kGJ
127Please respect copyright.PENANAxU3CpBzaCz
「……剛剛說到,Genesis踏足的範圍非常廣闊,但我萬萬想不到現在他們竟然會碰守護蛋。」
127Please respect copyright.PENANAEwImQaXvNs
127Please respect copyright.PENANAYXgDz1wNsF
「但是…….為什麼?為什麼他們會知道我們的存在?」路克問道。
127Please respect copyright.PENANADExykXXpI9
127Please respect copyright.PENANAKX5Z3xjNoL
「那個叫魔姬的少女似乎也十分清楚我們的特性,但我們感覺不到她有守護甜心。」凌兵補充。
127Please respect copyright.PENANAxeS5jI56cZ
127Please respect copyright.PENANA3n1U3qYPOz
(魔姬……)伸一的腦海一直重複這二字咒語。
127Please respect copyright.PENANA82FbZvUhXD
127Please respect copyright.PENANAAHcJ9fILD8
「那真的很奇怪呢,他們的目的是什麼?」美美搖頭,近期種種的事令她腦袋爆炸。
127Please respect copyright.PENANAVkGUYtj8zE
127Please respect copyright.PENANAGZuFjDuAYN
「再談下去也沒有用。我們只能繼續留意他們的動靜,」大輔道:「Genesis先說到這裡為止。我們討論下一個議題,而本次議題,和伸一你有很大關係。」
127Please respect copyright.PENANANl1y3zNDoR
127Please respect copyright.PENANAij25JbnUmv
「啊?」
127Please respect copyright.PENANAxV4DwKJEKI
127Please respect copyright.PENANAg1XK29Glly
「說白一點的話,就是你的項鍊。」
127Please respect copyright.PENANA01zNcZAB99
127Please respect copyright.PENANAGcr6Unuyu0
「……!」
127Please respect copyright.PENANAzIcEBVlG94
127Please respect copyright.PENANAKEDvqzYuhU
伸一低頭,伸手托起項鍊上的Hope Sphere。它在水晶燈的光芒閃出一點光輝,光並不刺眼,光度剛好令人舒服,如同掌上明珠,希望的水晶球。
127Please respect copyright.PENANAI0SXuzE10p
127Please respect copyright.PENANApBVTflR8Rq
「這個?他只是爺爺的遺物而已。」
127Please respect copyright.PENANAi9RRMzoMek
127Please respect copyright.PENANAvXbAy18w32
「不過在上兩次的戰鬥,它發亮了,之後你能夠甜心變身,Story Writer的力量也因而穩定。我覺得不是巧合。」
127Please respect copyright.PENANAdc4oDLOMBY
127Please respect copyright.PENANATZLFSZ3sCH
「嗯。那時候,我覺得我和小筆完全同步,能隨心所慾地使用力量。我是第一次有這種感覺。」翔太道。
127Please respect copyright.PENANAOEob6F7ZwB
127Please respect copyright.PENANAd4RpI2QIux
「真的嗎?」
127Please respect copyright.PENANA2rpP4E0gub
127Please respect copyright.PENANAus3Jfdj2aR
伸一再次看著Hope Sphere。裡面的反轉世界彷彿有另一層令人反轉的威力,寄託了爺爺的靈魂。
127Please respect copyright.PENANADFvUUelP0U
127Please respect copyright.PENANAwYHnpwrZMu
「伸一,我們可以看看嗎?」大輔伸出手。
127Please respect copyright.PENANAQRkOfBz8CW
127Please respect copyright.PENANA88Rgp4iRZC
「不。」伸一握緊它,退後一步。
127Please respect copyright.PENANAAtWfEIiROo
127Please respect copyright.PENANAAxYbd8bNfH
「我們不會做什麼,放心。」
127Please respect copyright.PENANAdcmK15Fw9o
127Please respect copyright.PENANA0EZx7XRHqr
「不行。」
127Please respect copyright.PENANAiXmq4XlJLn
127Please respect copyright.PENANAlhKNkSoLxh
「只是看一下。」
127Please respect copyright.PENANArfAHzNuZlr
127Please respect copyright.PENANAsvOC4HNnfp
「不行就是不行。」
127Please respect copyright.PENANAqbYvAaFXHZ
127Please respect copyright.PENANAPMjJnF5EvI
「他不行是可以理解的,畢竟這是爺爺留給他的,十分貴重。」美娜希望大輔不要迫他。
127Please respect copyright.PENANAsoJQnPaEJB
127Please respect copyright.PENANArZ2y8qiVtn
「對啊!不要強迫人!」
127Please respect copyright.PENANA0lNrOfu32S
127Please respect copyright.PENANAxPpKjzeakN
「……說的也是,」大輔點頭:「它有名字嗎?」
127Please respect copyright.PENANAbECemORD8j
127Please respect copyright.PENANAqiQ1cFOjhn
「Hope Sphere。」
127Please respect copyright.PENANAtWsTfgpTTx
127Please respect copyright.PENANAhVkQ3GE4tB
「Hope Sphere……」大輔重複默唸幾次:「既然不能除下去檢查,那希望你能盡量戴上它去戰鬥。多來幾次變身,說不定可以知道它是什麼。」
127Please respect copyright.PENANAQmZ8ToNQ4z
127Please respect copyright.PENANAk8DbbxqyFd
「……好的。」
127Please respect copyright.PENANAuCNN0XCIY2
127Please respect copyright.PENANAZrMfK9QHdi
伸一垂下Hope Sphere,Hope Sphere在燈光下閃出星光。
