「啊啊啊啊啊!!那個瘋子!!」297Please respect copyright.PENANAoQPeb3r3Ie
297Please respect copyright.PENANAYtzH4c1HqQ
和梨猛力推開木板,從木桌激烈碰撞後斷裂的殘骸下蹦了出來,拍掉身上的灰塵及木屑,「不過就一個徽章而已發這麼大的脾氣,怕被拆穿當初就不要說謊啊。」297Please respect copyright.PENANAmxHvJ5uo7x
297Please respect copyright.PENANA91NftgLSqs
「就是愛慕虛榮啊,我們村子可一堆這樣的老頭。」二郎從沒受到波及的二樓走下樓梯,全場只有他一個躲上去。297Please respect copyright.PENANANGbLHSTP9H
297Please respect copyright.PENANAbXUKfFOrCu
「哼,虛榮?誰在乎他多厲害。」297Please respect copyright.PENANA6DOxkkNDtL
297Please respect copyright.PENANAunPDwuApqA
「妳啊,不就是妳先問他徽章的事情。」297Please respect copyright.PENANAxwJSuDn417
297Please respect copyright.PENANAbNvVpMeZci
「我只是好奇啊,而且他是藍色的不也是中級?這樣夠強了還隱瞞幹嘛。」和梨此時才注意到一旁收拾東西的老闆娘與哈吉爾,「啊,我們也來幫忙。」說完便開始將損毀的東西集中。297Please respect copyright.PENANAMb579i5GR2
297Please respect copyright.PENANAAsH3TUEaV9
「你們剛啟程沒多久吧?」老闆娘事發當下也在場,有看到和梨秀出她的寶寶徽章,「在這個冒險者氾濫的年代,徽章幾乎等於冒險者的尊嚴地位。或許你們在家鄉時沒這種感覺,但我做餐館的真的看太多了。」297Please respect copyright.PENANAnlRyCAQYtD
297Please respect copyright.PENANAY6GxMOnS9T
要說沒有發覺肯定是騙人的。297Please respect copyright.PENANAifELTfheIw
297Please respect copyright.PENANAWW8VpEsOGf
和梨也冒險了一個多月,她總有注意到人們總是在談論最高級別的金色徽章——皇家騎士團的身分證。二郎就不用說了,自己當初連被稱為「寶寶」都覺得是種恥辱。297Please respect copyright.PENANAThWxK4kCmH
297Please respect copyright.PENANAmC3sOCDjII
哈吉爾的堂哥肯定也是如此,中級並不是值得拿來炫耀的級別,倒不如藏起徽章對外謊稱自己有多厲害,才能引起他人的崇拜。297Please respect copyright.PENANAZYvO6V6hkj
297Please respect copyright.PENANANSTRWjPl5B
「連優秀的拉夫一族也是如此,而自從夏沐·拉夫進入皇家騎士團後,這個現象更是病態。」297Please respect copyright.PENANAkEEZGnfQat
297Please respect copyright.PENANAgqMAUcDuxx
老闆娘飽含不捨的眼神投向哈吉爾,卻已不見他人蹤影。不過不打緊,那名老顧客心情不好會去哪裡她都知道。297Please respect copyright.PENANAz89vAyTUXX
297Please respect copyright.PENANAhyWQRcdOpd
她盯著另一個方向的陽台入口,因為視線死角看不見人,斜射在地的人影卻露了餡。297Please respect copyright.PENANAyRseCM6rKn
297Please respect copyright.PENANAdu1JuixGHi
「因為如此,年輕一輩的孩子們似乎把冒險當成義務,不想去冒險的人們會被閒言閒語,但我不希望他們的意願被扼殺。」297Please respect copyright.PENANAknqBlpBIAh
297Please respect copyright.PENANAS84KQvCzIj
明明人們就是為了能夠擁有更多選擇才努力增廣見聞、充實自我的,為什麼事到如今,成了更優秀的魔法師反而失去選擇的權利呢?297Please respect copyright.PENANA1S2Co0EOzG
297Please respect copyright.PENANAGtebRMYmyq
不僅僅是老闆娘對孩子的不捨,這也是哈吉爾對於現況的無奈。
297Please respect copyright.PENANAmlQmYYo9nA
木片與殘骸、玻璃碎屑與壓扁的鍋具。297Please respect copyright.PENANAO9rEgwaUlF
297Please respect copyright.PENANArlp1kC1NiA
只要他手指輕輕一揮,要操控這些復位輕而易舉,可是人生卻沒這般輕鬆。297Please respect copyright.PENANAeccYlzUiQm
297Please respect copyright.PENANAb7bhsc7qRi
本來以為自己已經對眾人的期許免疫了,沒想到堂哥一出現,心情再度跌落谷底。297Please respect copyright.PENANAuZbOviM0T3
297Please respect copyright.PENANAeRzKGzRt7P
哈吉爾偶爾會在心情不好時來到這裡,儘管餐館生意興隆,這個陽台倒是沒什麼人會過來。297Please respect copyright.PENANAYd1NOHrxBD
297Please respect copyright.PENANACvoFk6TH4T
畢竟這位置視野極差,眼前只有一棵大樹擋著,看景沒有、要看啄木鳥或小蟲子倒是可以發現幾隻。297Please respect copyright.PENANAZ8Jkq28528
297Please respect copyright.PENANAcctJsu69HT
「不想離家的原因,我可以問你嗎?」297Please respect copyright.PENANAamSsMaxJIj
297Please respect copyright.PENANAi2x79wet3A
凝望樹皮放空的目光回神,哈吉爾轉頭,和梨正從步出陽台。297Please respect copyright.PENANAYJGghVqd0h
297Please respect copyright.PENANAFonTDiMrZ4
不是平常那種不經思考的問句,和梨這次問話時的眼神很真誠。297Please respect copyright.PENANAwqlOuVynhV
297Please respect copyright.PENANAtzzlBL7572
不過這種問題該怎麼回答?哈吉爾思考半晌,仍舊想不出個所以然。297Please respect copyright.PENANAY8Ke8wmJw4
297Please respect copyright.PENANAZGB3bhdAro
想與不想之間一定要有原因嗎?297Please respect copyright.PENANABadI7NBNa4
297Please respect copyright.PENANAgJIIZ2A2F8
「我的故鄉有個每年都會派首席畢業生出航的習俗。」297Please respect copyright.PENANAdFl3Ftt6Ie
297Please respect copyright.PENANAL0MFwJUDW4
在哈吉爾保持沉默的這段時間裡,和梨決定把自己的故事搬上檯面。297Please respect copyright.PENANAfjDH6XbQuo
297Please respect copyright.PENANAiGPBdUIZfN
「我這屆的首席跟你一樣,並不想出航,所以韋斯特他……他才會把機會讓給我,我只是想知道為什麼。」297Please respect copyright.PENANA8s7BeheTvw
297Please respect copyright.PENANABbJOyhcgLM
身為聰明的人,哈吉爾飽讀詩書、充滿文學素養與氣質,不過從外部吸收知識和探索內心是兩碼子事。297Please respect copyright.PENANAmj3V3CXGz0
297Please respect copyright.PENANAbc5Kws2yKs
「我不知道……」他低著頭,「抱歉,我不知道怎麼形容。」
297Please respect copyright.PENANAnR2kVMvjCb
「跟你一樣,很聰明什麼都會,也是被大家寄與厚望。」和梨走近,平時充滿活力的語調這次放得輕柔,「韋斯特,也就是我這屆的首席,他說過他想永遠待在大家身邊。」297Please respect copyright.PENANAr2ukMIM6IF
297Please respect copyright.PENANAMwZbCikec5
話語至此便在哈吉爾心中引起一道共鳴。297Please respect copyright.PENANANVhcca8osQ
297Please respect copyright.PENANA8hDCLyYuzT
沒去外地居住過不代表不諳世事,哈吉爾知道成為冒險者必須承擔相對應的風險,他也知道這個社會絕對沒有表面那樣單純。297Please respect copyright.PENANAwrNZytnbRg
297Please respect copyright.PENANATnDqFXAaF0
不然為什麼好朋友伊卡姆·恩札這麼討厭皇室?儘管他不像政治魔人那樣咄咄逼人,而是什麼也不說,但他肯定經歷過什麼。297Please respect copyright.PENANA5EFWr8NjD2
297Please respect copyright.PENANA1Pg1JGX3Ic
哈吉爾也曾和餐館與觀光招待所的老闆娘聊過,她們雖然常常接觸到外地冒險者,但以冒險者身分二度來到這裡的人屈指可數。297Please respect copyright.PENANAE3kYKswNEA
297Please respect copyright.PENANAXxiCcD3dsd
反正到最後都會放棄——就像這裡的一些老魔法師一樣——那一開始就待在原地也何嘗不是一種好選擇呢?297Please respect copyright.PENANAQLjSHO6ZGQ
297Please respect copyright.PENANAe6jzqyzys6
「韋斯特那樣說,搞得好像我不想待在大家身邊一樣欸,真是的。」和梨貌似回想起對話當下的心情,嘟起了嘴,「我愛我的家鄉,總有一天我也一定會找到越城之翼回去。」297Please respect copyright.PENANAaimrutopNg
297Please respect copyright.PENANAy0Edkeftvb
「那妳為什麼會想要出航?」哈吉爾不懂。297Please respect copyright.PENANAeRN2xOgN9B

「奈列多摩的文明停滯了很長一段時間,你知道我們文明大躍進是什麼時候嗎?」297Please respect copyright.PENANAkUYOaRbdmd
297Please respect copyright.PENANAwCAeEsMzVZ
仔細思考與和梨對談過的空島相關內容便能發現其端倪。哈吉爾心裡有個底,與和梨所公布的答案一致。297Please respect copyright.PENANAaveJ2DezV3
297Please respect copyright.PENANATMXXuowYor
「是卡斯狄奧帶著納爾拉蒂特的文明回來的時候。」297Please respect copyright.PENANAY6Uyoe0lIa
297Please respect copyright.PENANAoQzGZ1v0Yb
若不是他,空島上農作物的收成不會如此豐收、許多行動敏捷的動物也獵捕不到,更重要的是——因為他,島民才能在最少犧牲的情況下逃離島上怪物的魔爪。297Please respect copyright.PENANAw9tdYplNPf
297Please respect copyright.PENANA2vimU4dslA
即使卡斯狄奧被這裡的人們視為罪犯,他仍是和梨心目中的英雄。297Please respect copyright.PENANA21QOhHqwvS
297Please respect copyright.PENANAF2n6Wype5Q
「我才不是因為想離開家才想出航勒!我是想讓大家過上更好的生活才那麼拼命的好不好。」297Please respect copyright.PENANACdz5JJAud9
297Please respect copyright.PENANAgzXVGzffp3
說出崇尚理想的和梨彷彿閃閃發光,至少在哈吉爾眼中頓時變得很耀眼。297Please respect copyright.PENANA14NmVQoIvl
297Please respect copyright.PENANA0wf9D9SPoo
他突然想起堂哥嘲諷自己的話——該對這個世界做點貢獻。297Please respect copyright.PENANAxeSdaCHe4A
297Please respect copyright.PENANA85nyNLpDJN
「……我想我只是害怕改變。」297Please respect copyright.PENANArmhYMpViRe
297Please respect copyright.PENANALINljJXBkv
「什麼東西?」297Please respect copyright.PENANAgBYdJLYCkQ
297Please respect copyright.PENANAOGTOLIjfI0
「不想離家的原因。」哈吉爾低語,「去外面學習新魔法回來幫助柯吉梅什麼的,我沒有過這種偉大想法。只是想著會不會出去個幾年,等回來時大家都變得不一樣了,我好像是害怕這個。」297Please respect copyright.PENANAnANX5T8ZBp
297Please respect copyright.PENANAWPIJFQh3xQ
哈吉爾不知道自己為什麼會這麼想,他天生就是如此多慮,就好像明明從沒被石子絆倒過卻對石頭退避三舍一樣。297Please respect copyright.PENANAZi58vFeYar
297Please respect copyright.PENANAzGmuI4tmlH
忽然覺得自己是不是很自私,想到這,哈吉爾在意異性眼光的憋慫習慣又出現了。他扭扭捏捏地撫著後脖頸,「呃,也不全然是害怕啦,這有什麼好怕的。」297Please respect copyright.PENANA6KxjnIK2Yb
297Please respect copyright.PENANA2DR0d41sZZ
他還在思考接下來該怎麼挽回自己顏面,突然頭頂上一股溫熱拉回他的思緒。297Please respect copyright.PENANAo1PziPOV2J
297Please respect copyright.PENANAawGKSlJIun
和梨正墊起腳尖,伸長手努力搓揉高自己快一顆頭的哈吉爾頭頂。297Please respect copyright.PENANAJ1os8f7c1H
297Please respect copyright.PENANAfqRDxkAijZ
「害怕又沒什麼好丟臉的,人都會害怕啊。」和梨說地一副理所當然,動作也像在安撫狗狗,只是比一般人粗魯了些,「我心情不好的時候只要被這樣摸頭就會平靜一點了。」297Please respect copyright.PENANAGM3nadNFuB
297Please respect copyright.PENANAYhdPmCbNhI
溫暖沁流入心,透過手掌把那份溫柔毫無保留地傳遞過來。297Please respect copyright.PENANASmaG13cND8
297Please respect copyright.PENANAA0ucAu5WGe
哈吉爾的心情真的平復許多。297Please respect copyright.PENANAZLFu8tsKjP
297Please respect copyright.PENANAPsprzias3d
但不知怎地,他低頭看著和梨專注的模樣、看著她清澈明亮的黑眸、看著那抹稚氣的微笑時——心情又有些躁動起來。297Please respect copyright.PENANA7FnvBwNDTt
297Please respect copyright.PENANAKDYS3C1ZNL
他只好把頭越沉越低,直到對方收手為止。297Please respect copyright.PENANAZjAQta96Cq
297Please respect copyright.PENANAP86I4rrn4u
「我終於能稍微明白韋斯特為什麼不想出航了,謝謝你啊哈吉爾。」和梨就像是解開了困擾已久的謎題,長嘆一口氣後對著空氣嘀咕,「啊啊~不過到底在怕什麼啦,其他人會改變,我們也會啊,又不是改變了就不是原本的自己了,真是的……」297Please respect copyright.PENANAq77SVMT7Mn
297Please respect copyright.PENANAJDvt593JVz
「啊,我不是在針對你哦。」這白目終於發現自己的自言自語有些不妥,「好啦好啦,既然你都這麼坦誠地告訴我原因了,我再繼續纏著你就太不識相了,對吧?」297Please respect copyright.PENANAOCFwwOHbsT
297Please respect copyright.PENANArpov2HbNJI
和梨仰起頭,對自己如此成熟的舉動感到驕傲,她真希望二郎在這,肯定也會對她刮目相看的。297Please respect copyright.PENANAwk6tpfUcsV
297Please respect copyright.PENANAC8VSitZ54T
一臉神氣地用鼻子呼出氣流,輕拍哈吉爾的背要他不必在意,「我會去找其他魔法師的,這段時間打擾你了。」297Please respect copyright.PENANAUo6uoLVXVJ
297Please respect copyright.PENANAZ0hHZp29ew
「不用找了。」297Please respect copyright.PENANAH1VWUKSRJc
297Please respect copyright.PENANAiyz9fKePF7
突如其來的一句讓和梨左顧右盼,想看看是哪個混蛋又要來阻止她找尋夥伴,直到對方再度開口,她才確信那句話是出於隔壁人之口。297Please respect copyright.PENANA1Bf2dqTyuJ
297Please respect copyright.PENANA9kdr7uHM2z
「我……」297Please respect copyright.PENANAhXezykV1MM
297Please respect copyright.PENANAgAmgE9GkMf
和梨一臉難以置信的樣子,只見哈吉爾猶豫了片刻,不時眨眨深邃的眼眸子。297Please respect copyright.PENANAuHRTQWoXXR
297Please respect copyright.PENANAwrd61VuVpY
「我跟你們一起。」297Please respect copyright.PENANAuZnMEQzyds

作者雜談:297Please respect copyright.PENANAhCi7BfQ8bi
昨天晚上我躺在沙發上快睡著,突然間來了一個不到一秒的劇烈晃動。297Please respect copyright.PENANACtYRRazgkm
「地震!」我媽說。她就坐在沙發另一邊。
而我也在半夢半醒之間回她:「地震!」
隨後不到一分鐘我就睡著了。
現在想想哪天真的大地震我應該也是睡著來不及逃跑的那個XD297Please respect copyright.PENANAwpEtcRf8zH
