沙卡美在洞穴裏修煉了很長時間，從來也不覺得餓或者渴。若然不趕快練成明鏡的境界，曼賈就會殺死她愛的所有人。257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5WQKPb9Qxq

「哈！哈！」她站在池裏不停向瀑布揮刀，水比冰更冷，卻澆不熄她的鬥志。257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5UKqEgUgPw
257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡowBZh8fMMM
既然母親每天揮一千下刀，為了超越母親，她要每天揮二千，甚至三千下刀。257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqsxf7DVkKM
257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJAYz1EuJzk
她堅信追尋之物就在努力盡頭。257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp6VQU6vXan
257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX4p5KwLOBD
受多少苦也不要緊，她不受苦的話其他人就會受苦。257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVvIQYIp46r
257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCWYbrKDrZn
「哈！哈！」在無盡的揮刀過程裏，她的思緒漸漸飄向遠方。257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3PdtVkjkyC
257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUv2RbjcLpe
保護一切或捨棄一切才能達至明鏡的境界？人總會失去些事物吧？她失去了賴鐸，失去了利華特，她保護不了他們。257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuKH7rAMmAw
257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR1HNT0tYVE
母親有達到明鏡的境界嗎？母親捨棄了她和在帝國的一切，算滿足條件嗎？散播悲傷的明鏡是明鏡嗎？大概不是。257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlzxns6qgbP
257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiz58KmNWvG
那張紙僅是謎面，她要領悟明鏡的真諦。257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnqhWrp66p0
257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIWqs8OxOru
另一邊廂，岡原、小娜和貝吏刻唐等人來到沙卡美所在的房間前。257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfinXKpWh8n
257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRaN2ETDtwi
「如果陛下清醒的話就幫她戴面具，如果昏迷的話就帶她出去再治療她，清楚嗎？」岡原問手拿著面具的小娜。257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg5OQkgUZEl
257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKyLQFv6Gcu
「嗯。」小娜點頭。257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgd66Levyb4
257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtM0jEG9VLv
「好。各位，準備好了嗎？」岡原對牆壁伸出手掌。257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtEkncWlKEc
257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGpIeByDB6V
「準備好了。」「準備好了。」「準備好了。」貝吏刻唐和魔法部隊成員一同瞄準牆壁。257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUO7ii4Y6ig
257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP4tdLemX5i
「鮮物都・加瓦治！」257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQt8T2UTfIK
257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAbaL7vYDp4
咒語擊中牆壁，牆堅隨即化為一團灰塵。眾人精準控制過咒語有效範圍，使咒語只消除房間的牆壁257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ42FgPrWKYG
257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVx7FDJsFqY
鐵門因為牆壁消失而倒下，他們看到沙卡美正坐在椅子上。257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyu0KgVe2Yt
257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwU0E5ALxoB
「沙卡美！」小娜上前檢查她的狀況，「她昏倒了！」257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbYhkGMy2TQ
257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1J9JlwvGXv
小娜抱起沙卡美，運起魔力離開基地，其他人亦隨她回到地面。257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWBactECvlu
257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCCV8UK3xhB
「沙卡美！醒醒！」小娜檢查她的呼吸，隨後聽見她在「呼呼」地小聲叫。257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrAuS87xUyH
257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRjTq5FgPmg
「小娜！陛下狀況怎麼了？」貝吏刻唐走到旁邊問小娜。257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHIhJjEWbs7
257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡadFrkSXxQK
「她在睡覺。」發現白擔心一場的小娜向貝吏刻唐露出無奈的表情。257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeNzWcKDs78
257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf64ihhqovM
「睡、睡覺？」貝吏刻唐不太相信。257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY4qyErHxpF
257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2eYTBW29Ht
「桌上有個碎掉的水晶球。我猜可能是他們想用它來操控沙卡美，但沙卡美毀了水晶球。」小娜脫下防毒面具，「她一定累透了，給點時間她休息吧。」257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWLRnCm91eu
257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0ksdUl87re
貝吏刻唐脫下面具，「我們要想辦法回皇宮。這可是另一個大陸的最西邊，又沒有紅圈......」257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLXh6hlmUoK
257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrrKkCtFEm3
「回去也要好幾個星期，我們身上又沒有錢......」小娜嘆了一口氣，「不過哥對打獵相當熟悉，所以我不怕。」257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ65KEJbzqWK
257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2ojlFOAspD
在學習魔法的數十年裏，貝吏刻唐經常背著小娜在森林裏打獵，小娜就在籃子內欣賞他的英姿。257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGwSgCMDKKo
257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ61oT6LZlUE
「各位！」貝吏刻唐呼叫在草原上看星的魔法部隊成員和岡原，「不如我們先去找些食物吧！」257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSXwXN4Z4Ks
257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiwJPBs7I6P
「那邊有森林。」小娜用天文學知識得出方位，指著東邊的森林說：「而且還在東邊，我們在森林裏打獵，休息一晚，到早上就馬不停蹄——人不停足地趕路。」257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwRvvKJpXKD
257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV1dfPOKi6o
「贊成！」「贊成！」魔法部隊成員紛紛舉手支持。257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSQqyD9IVtI
257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa2LiAKmvQ8
小娜背起沙卡美，跟其他人慢步前往森林。257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbYNDUiySZp
257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9g68ydmx0T
「沙卡美，相信我們，沒有妳我們也不會輕言放棄。」
257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFied8LkR9N
說來神奇，沙卡美遺傳了壞人的優點和好人的缺點。她如賴鐸強悍卻不如他暴戾，如巫女擇善固執卻不如她處變不驚。擇善固執不一定指缺點，但從她的情況看，一旦錯了方向便很危險。257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡufLC62DYQb
257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo2WpYcFipT
明鏡到底會帶她去哪裏？掌握了明鏡她就能殺死曼賈嗎？257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2F10baUj7w
257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR1efWs3Pxd
她離失控僅有一步之遙，每當看到刀上的黑色火焰就不斷自責。她深信力量該用來保護而非傷害人，卻經已好幾次傷害了人。257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw1Uajv91Oa
257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq0Fbm5WKfH
從無到有，從紅到藍，從藍到金的火焰象徵著何物？金色火焰代表她的戰意燃燒到最高點嗎？257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8XsEE1dcYG
257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNBlHqTUnUw
她對那把武士刀一無所知，連它的名字也不知道。無知的她就算進入明鏡境界也是會輸。257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbThiUWAZOi
257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXEMHcHAVkW
她煞停揮刀的雙手，走到池邊放下刀，用之前突然冒出來，放在石上的毛巾抹頭。257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIwOF77BLhA
257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqYlqLW3zET
頭和臉都抹乾淨，她拿起刀盯著滿佈水珠的刀身。257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡawYQz63weO
257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPtTaqO8OzS
「刀......有兩把。」257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAJa2CJw26H
257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWMj8GQ4hxf
她忽然想起那把一直被遺忘，自開始揮刀後就被放在石頭邊的脇差。她撿起它，手執兩把刀的她很迷惘。257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnn9pXKJkkc
257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn7lthukAPN
「我一定對你有期望才會叫你出來......」她舉高握脇差的左手抬頭，「告訴我，你想我做甚麼？」257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFVG0xoix6i
257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1l2ok0pgDS
脇差和武士刀冒出紅色火焰，一塊巨石出現在她面前。257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt1uhfcfD8M
257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbuxdLwxuPQ
她放下手，對兩把刀說：「我明白了。我試試看。」257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFBMBtMBYmQ
257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbj0u6OygDD
她跑向巨石，跳起劈向巨石，「哈啊啊啊啊！」257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCUu2wIfBu4
257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIHsC9Y2dKV
巨石被劈成三部份，她望向武士刀，留意到刀身在發紅光。以往刀身不會發光，最多只會被火焰纏繞。她望向脇差，也是同樣狀況。257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7hyXU8HJmE
257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡooCmfazoWr
沒必要走上和母親一樣的路，她要開拓出屬於她的路。257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAj5qOfzIxX
257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZjLvTpa9AZ
紅光蔓延到她手掌、手腕、手臂、肩膀、身軀、雙腿和頭，她整個人都在發光。257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMVssIVBJdW
257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqEb0U11x2Z
她正對其中一條石柱，身體微微傾前。257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdP2gSreUMy
257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ23lvxTLqNk
「啊！」257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFSXvyeoLVD
257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8JDaFSt9MY
她向前想兩刀劈斷石柱，卻承受不到速度之快而在石柱前摔倒。257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTgrTXgoEVY
257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKhQnPTIDgs
情況就像背著重物絆倒，想向後拉自己起來卻被重物壓下去。257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡch4u0D5Xay
257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOH0KKjeYZg
「痛痛痛......」雙刀和身體的紅光消失，火焰也熄滅，她放下雙刀靠著石柱坐下。257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqkCu04k9AR
257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ57PBWCyQy3
「希靈格・利卡巴。」她治好擦損的雙手，嘆了口氣。257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCWa5Tie7jz
257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5ZIj6fmRMw
「我果然還是不夠成熟。明明大家都在等我，我卻讓他們失望......我該怎麼辦......」257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwtSL2kH2jK
257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLK4BH6mRSh
她抱膝，頭貼在手上當枕頭休息。257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3hMbsLu1kI
257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzVhVCvYTbe
「明鏡......拾棄一切......保護一切......我......」她找不到謎題的解答。257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUEImPf1L7T
257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtvUMgT9xc3
在全身都閃著紅光時，她以為終於領悟到要訣，怎料只領悟到殘酷的現實。257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkPuv4Udl5f
257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbIbVpSsvu4
要找到欠缺的東西，便先要明白自己欠缺了甚麼。257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡplwfBTu3fc
257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBCBhko37yD
「我到底需要甚麼？沒有人會教我，只有我才想到。」她望終有一天會開竅，「我是不是早就知道但不願面對？到底是怎樣？」257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB8IV8bQN6G
257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ390BtTDt19
很痛苦。257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDCXQxUlNSi
257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY4cVe3rYej
「哪條才是正確的路？沒有——」257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUIEUjWiyL4
257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmaToqYzsHv
她腦海一片空白，那些抱怨的句子彷彿沒存在過。她拿起雙刀回到瀑布，又再揮刀。257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPJthw0xKqw
257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfq4qHSKkCN
謎底根本不重要，解開謎底並不是終點，是其中一個里程碑。既然如此，她做她認為正確的事就足夠。
