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。238Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE5uWSv1frQ

「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。238Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRfKre8rAdk
238Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsPza3NxD6k
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。238Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQHreyWVzHP
238Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp7gl4kNjC5
她堅信追尋之物就在努力盡頭。238Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ40Fbbdde8s

受多少苦也不要緊，她不受苦的話其他人就會受苦。238Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN979iImCGv
238Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVhuWbvDXet
「哈！哈！」在無盡的揮刀過程裏，她的思緒漸漸飄向遠方。238Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJpcC6fMTGG
238Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfBs9zR7aet
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。238Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkPly1OP2Ih
238Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDIsj0Ogfbm
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。238Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQntqVnAMoM
238Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkzoj185QOg
那張紙僅是謎面，她要領悟明鏡的真諦。238Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPgiOSsOCMH

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。238Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFEG3Dc0tfG
238Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5CwkDwRw6u
「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。238Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe0UvopyiB4
238Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDKvSbUKOmr
「嗯。」小娜點頭。238Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUsfndOo9JP
238Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlGAMGHbDT7
「好。各位，準備好了嗎？」岡原對牆壁伸出手掌。238Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ37Xl97sdr2
238Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGK65T41DFF
「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。238Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6NFL9VbDvN
238Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcOHh6xqmkR
「鮮物都・加瓦治！」238Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1EHfO5VLrI
238Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡExac7gXuuM
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238Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4RjwPz4Jlu
238Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXutJehG299
鐵門因為牆壁消失而倒下，他們看到沙卡美正坐在椅子上。238Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH4RtcaYv9F
238Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQzMqstoTDx
「沙卡美！」小娜上前檢查她的狀況，「她昏倒了！」238Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIoKfPWFxR1
238Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc2L2XaoViF
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。238Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOCA8L7a3cI
238Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7eKEDJ2is5
「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。238Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTJDUVgdoZN
238Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZzVOgw79i6
「小娜！陛下狀況怎麼了？」貝吏刻唐走到旁邊問小娜。238Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4VYY0HMbJ9
238Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7m1oCNqvd3
「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。238Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPcnUxuxAIW
238Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW8qVUa7TQ1
「睡、睡覺？」貝吏刻唐不太相信。238Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaTNDpTSdPz
238Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDoVCWCK9VF
「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。」238Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6tx1M44OvR
238Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbtrMQJdCpE
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......」238Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMe5T7q6BRS
238Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ0PVLdhnyz
「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。」238Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN4yrr5gy4Q
238Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuafdpvZkcM
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。238Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡioDGRheDJZ
238Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr3egWahvXJ
「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！」238Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7Ijk0aTsd6
238Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgdemR8ggnT
「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。」238Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy255CcqLBO
238Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCdCwkpe6Hd
「贊成！」「贊成！」魔法部隊成員紛紛舉手支持。238Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkXxF8aPi0e
238Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnijxgtLqMN
小娜背起沙卡美，跟其他人慢步前往森林。238Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh8DxeZ0icq
238Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUZBdxbLMug
「沙卡美，相信我們，沒有妳我們也不會輕言放棄。」
238Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTakSRwM1JK
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。238Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡucF6kct4Vx

明鏡到底會帶她去哪裏？掌握了明鏡她就能殺死曼賈嗎？238Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKdNmHmM13b
238Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBdPvsGB64V
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。238Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGBEl1OJSZV
238Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZAP2k5Uo0M
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？238Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT7zsBfNM8w
238Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSCnORWUnB4
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。238Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLLf65raDza
238Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMasNgh0b7d
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。238Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmtbPIZhd5r
238Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ35Gd6vD4lz
頭和臉都抹乾淨，她拿起刀盯著滿佈水珠的刀身。238Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeHFhqFj9zJ
238Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa7ZmBoUiVb
「刀......有兩把。」238Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAJI6zdfFwi
238Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKWLjge6xoP
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。238Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNGBkJhrjfM
238Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6XKnQJX2Hz
「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？」238Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZUfVStwcgS
238Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp9GlJHr5H8
脇差和武士刀冒出紅色火焰，一塊巨石出現在她面前。238Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnRW9n3cGDl
238Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEfddqOi4C3
她放下手，對兩把刀說：「我明白了。我試試看。」238Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIBvnjXT6uD
238Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzkihK8Q6MF
她跑向巨石，跳起劈向巨石，「哈啊啊啊啊！」238Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3Q6ZAlIUUu
238Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiMVgb0mmu9
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。238Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvH3C4lG8HT
238Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5VxgG8WpYj
沒必要走上和母親一樣的路，她要開拓出屬於她的路。238Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeKFtgZzD8x
238Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXeusWoddjt
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。238Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl7QzIED2sl
238Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGlaZhaK3xX
她正對其中一條石柱，身體微微傾前。238Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSObyMpOUmm
238Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu6W3j6VCEy
「啊！」238Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwTEnKkpwWC
238Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5l4uuPCoNm
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。238Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7xSGURM1DW
238Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpUPmyUhlSD
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。238Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpWHwry4Bnw
238Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLxGjXUPKhK
「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。238Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFd4ey5VQ1T
238Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqR3tA66SN9
「希靈格・利卡巴。」她治好擦損的雙手，嘆了口氣。238Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuVWLTjlLj2

238Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK9NJiQ8Nd2
她抱膝，頭貼在手上當枕頭休息。238Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3WiAZRAYxT

「明鏡......拾棄一切......保護一切......我......」她找不到謎題的解答。238Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf4EkOydVL0
238Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA1jwsnpp3F
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。238Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv0BBlObeWV

要找到欠缺的東西，便先要明白自己欠缺了甚麼。238Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPxLOUuAYgZ
238Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvngiXNrGBc
「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？」238Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6E82aZIG95
238Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOmL0ijztWJ
很痛苦。238Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSLkgpMqHae
238Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo42W5nqZCd
「哪條才是正確的路？沒有——」238Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmopMJhBxjP
238Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnHAuTZkPDU
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。238Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy1B8s6hrrR
238Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDZY3wG7uc8
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。
