「看來你準備回歸冒險生活啊。」103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMRmfRLVpKR
店員小姐笑著走近了正在擦拭武器的我。103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2QBdjK1F4l
103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjy6UTwdJxo
今天沒有去上城區跑腿。103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcYkCBFzf3S
一來是因為正在下雨，二來是畢竟剛賺到了一筆錢，不妨給自己放個假。103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxliGXANENk
103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzuuAE6GdMe
心血來潮之下，打開了久未整理的倉庫，第一件映入眼簾的事物，是一柄手槍。103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPdlLb7pYLK
當年還是冒險者的時候，我闖進了瑪依瑪依島（マイマイ島）遺跡的武器庫翻箱倒櫃，這柄手槍就是其中一件戰利品。103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOxr6LKYkuu
我從未使用過它。只不過看它外型挺漂亮的，便帶了回家收藏。103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1SWWzE29tV
它跟我的過去一樣，很快已被人遺忘。103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW08R6x1wWc
103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwazXG5HMTA
但偶爾，塵封的記憶中也會迸出一絲火星。103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT2QPWudPkF
於是我花了一個下午，仔細刮開它表面的鏽跡，試圖找出什麼。103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkUV1QZKGIf
103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzCRcYv8PU3
「嚴格來說，這是退休生活的一部分。103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNE1eo02BrE
等錢賺夠了，我就會回到屬於我的角落裡。」103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0FIF11dOLg
103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA8sqGeot9d
下城區結實不透光的天花板常被居民詬病，可也有一個好處：103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtU21EYuRlB
不管下多大的雨，下城生活都一如往常。103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSVnToudki0
雨水打在遠處的木質建築上，發出浠浠瀝瀝的聲音。103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMTRoPhffZR
103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsoBMp5tKYS
午後是我最為親切的時間。103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGggghS3Tsz
正午的繁囂已過，也還沒有到熱鬧的晚飯時間，咖啡館裡只會有零星幾個客人。103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIG109AWSdH
103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQncNd9h1vf
「您確定你那角落是屬於你的嗎？不久前，你的房東還在碎碎念你何時要繳清租金呢。103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFyKrNFjNNi
我說，既然你都開始接起委託了，怎麼不加把勁買套房子呢？103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoH6e7Tvf5m
我知道有人正急著出讓喔。」103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHvhSPScjV8
103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOgMLih09DC
店員小姐是個喜歡聊天的人。在她那邊，能接收到許多情報。103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCyCujyMhqt
雖然大多數是經過修飾的。比如，她說正「急著出讓」的房子，至少要比市值貴上一成，或者裡面大部分管道都會不定時冒煙。103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpZltsaqtKH
所以現在就算她說得再動聽，我也只會動動眉毛聊作回應。103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkVqEbsD7Ek
103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9kXXrtJxP4
平時要是還有別人，她應該就會轉去哄騙其他呆子了。103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV04yYO10Og
可是沒有。於是她走到吧檯，倒出了一杯淺紅色的果汁，遞到了我的面前。103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUxb0d81CrG
103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVsrYneFChv
「這杯算是我請的吧。當是您回歸冒險生活的賀禮。」103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0RJeppy6V2
我本想細說退休生活與冒險生活的分別，但想了想，辯這種經也沒意思。103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtWoDNbQH9h
於是我接過玻璃杯，仰頭一飲而盡。103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdzRt9ZpAAR
103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0i4V2NKFc3
細嚐之下，跟平時喝到的普通果汁有種細微的分別。103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjanl3MUeF8
果味新鮮香濃。雖然調配師可能經驗尚淺，尚未能把握協調味覺的精髓；但總體而言算是不錯的。103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdXCNmtW87y
一般果汁多是從下城批發商那進的貨，並不難喝，然而喝久了也就這樣。103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVhWxqIXAZp
103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS8vEQbn7yp
轉頭一望，店員小姐的職業假笑下似乎隱隱有一絲期待。103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKF6pLFWigZ
103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfDTvrCk6ly
「妳調的？」103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEBHNx5a2rg
「……是的，怎麼樣？」103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH5c3774jbR
「生意差到終於進不起貨了嗎？」103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnWFzieKYnl
103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAjW8lVMDsI
她的表情一下就垮了下來。103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPd1X7C0aqm
103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2v21ZD2EwT
「開個玩笑。還不錯。103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2XiDXtnTil
沒有那種甜味劑和合成色素混出來的味道。103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiFc21TusC0
水果是當天現摘的吧？」103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt8B5x0dfOW
103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyg60F6ARM4
她點了點頭，笑容這才又回到了鬆垮下來的臉上。103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC3AD2tRhYP
至於這是職業還是不職業的笑容，就不得而知了。103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtaDo40ycaO
103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFIl7PjYl2G
「您挺有眼光的嘛。要不要試試本店的高級果汁？103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj7jP8zUo3u
當然，這杯就不是免費的了。」103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBR6DVw9tfr
「高級果汁跟普通的有什麼分別？」103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpuV2lt9ujV
103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUtgR9OyTkE
當年還是冒險者時兩種都喝過了不少，但除了價格和顏色之外實在沒有細究兩者的區別。103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqobaWsXssr
103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyJ9LpuEjxV
「一般果汁由我以蘋果，甜橙，萊姆，葡萄等鮮果調整而成。雖然也是上上之選，但比起高級果汁可就黯然失色了。103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBRqb5uBUwq
高級果汁從選材開始就絕不馬虎，分別採用了蘋果，甜橙，萊姆，葡萄；並由高級調酒師人手精心調配，堪稱絕品。更激動人心的是，高級果汁的價格僅僅是一般果汁的兩倍！103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEIjKezeyWF
鑑於本店的優良傳統，哪怕到了一把銅製萬年筆要價幾千萬G的年代，我們仍堅持絕不加價。」103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlRhMhv7Op8
103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIvqEgMgieZ
她邊說邊斟，只見亮藍色的果汁填滿了杯子的一半後便絕不寸進，就如一名守禮的紳士。103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfjg9HkhARl
103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡctgfJ8BiNO
「……那高級調酒師比一般調酒師差在哪？」103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡStRqm6oJeV
「這個嘛，因為本店奉行精簡原則，暫時這兩個職位由一人擔當。103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNzRQVaS8jQ
同時這人也是本店最有人氣的前台店員。」103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUO2NzleHjd
103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ91jOuFJQqu
看了看四周，咖啡館前台除了她之外空無一人。103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡznF7OozJxI
我沒好氣地接過了僅有半杯的果汁。103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiE0H1rGkyn
103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqCh3oMTzfA
「妳是怎麼想到要兼職調酒師的？」103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY5Xy8KgxW5
103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMWNtUFYklD
這個女孩從我搬來下城區起就在這工作了。103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSS3vMgU0PO
回想起來，她好像跟誰都能聊得起來，但似乎也沒幾個人跟她走得很近的樣子。103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4ptIlp3SP1
103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡan1IRALYJh
「那你幹嘛要接委託？不還是因為窮嘛。103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6ha89vx8YY
我多賺點錢，店主省下那點進貨錢，皆大歡喜不是嗎？」103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGNaRHM2uzM
103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1sgMsqnrAO
店員小姐毫不客氣地說穿了我的經濟狀況。103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVrrTdVa7oS
不過比起她平時的職業假笑，我還是喜歡現在這種交流方式。103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPixXGXLnCP
103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡch6gXuTysV
「那，妳存夠了錢之後想要幹嘛？103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR4ryJrOx4Y
跟我一樣青年時就退休嗎？」103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡabE2sfsev8
103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeZ2mQbrDX9
我看著放在桌上，擦得鋥亮的手槍。103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8Mwyr7ZAVD
擦拭多時，冰冷的金屬上多少吸收了一些人體的溫度。103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZNgPz7o2dm
……不論怎麼說，想在這個時候就退休還是不簡單啊。103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtnWh4dZlOF
103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrhyHqDYLNE
「……想要把這家咖啡館接下來自己幹。」103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlPvDuGjryv
「啥？」103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKOSxemN9eu
103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBnHqUBpkU4
她給出了我意料之外的答案。103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNWlN003qxB
103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPr6zDvemzg
「說是夢想也好，還是事業也好，我想要接手這家咖啡館。103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwtLEzAZGPY
老闆身體不行了，有意在幾年內回鄉養老。103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvjFc3Byweu
要是那時候我還沒存夠錢買下店面，這家咖啡館就要倒閉了。」103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTzbSjGjW3Q
103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwkIkdSujcU
店員小姐背對著我，望向立在內側店門上的木製招牌。103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡawpuD9JMzd
103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLuzIi3GSRL
「非要這家不可嗎？103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSvBFKgdHYH
如妳所見，下城區負擔得起下午茶的人可不多。也就只有我這種上流客人了。103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEpr1mHfsIa
真要開店的話，再存點錢開在上城區也許更好喔。」103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOknUayoECC
103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo50tso0Yi5
我呷著僅餘的一點高級果汁，仔細觀察她的反應。103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡivEUYHR6hN
還是跟先前的普通果汁一樣，除了新鮮和青澀之外嚐不出什麼。103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJFokQ48wHP
不過，最重要的果然是——103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd1mdSWuPVG
103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9BsDI7qnRQ
「那你怎麼不多存點錢在上城區租房子？103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbhRCv3Z2cW
我就是喜歡這裡，不行嗎？」103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYHPNsXD7oX
103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ1km6Tkez9
店員小姐冷冷地頂了回來。103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu3dkzDIuf8
她的理由無關經濟也無關管理，毫無道理可言。103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqfBs9tNHyP
但，最重要的果然是熱情吧。103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF80DAjg71n
103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcoREzwNSMo
反正是買的，大不了當房子住，也不至於沒有客人就會虧欠租金。103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZDajJBLUFN
103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4XSNtIvCbm
「那我索性也合伙吧。103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqEhYyGRQpg
我也不想從此少了一個下午休憩的場所。」103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLXCKFkrdqP
103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFhueoPCEtT
店員小姐又露出了平時罕見的驚訝表情。103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv1Ii6fXksl
今天來這咖啡館真的來對了。103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡItuvbBDCNq
103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSzLkLyPrYG
「……你哪來的閒錢？不是說連退休生活都要暫緩了嗎？」103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYF0U0WkQLm
103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡALIYi82yAO
她雖然不太相信，但語氣中帶著一點點期待。103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMACvsd4pGs
103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQqLV4j8E9z
「有什麼辦法，多接點委託就是了。103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHtLPLiXWVd
妳不也是為了賺那點中介費，不惜推銷那種狗都不要的垃圾房子嗎？」103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtmUuO8313L
103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtcAqB4oaYg
之前不明白為什麼她老是在哄騙人買東西，現在總算知道她努力的理由了。103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmiLFP5GEno
既然如此，那我也來出一分力吧。也免得她又去禍害別人。103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSwvrJoCPrl
103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4cNDt7BTnC
「連你也不要，那看來真的是狗都不要了。」103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFxQ5Ul4lYm
103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsFWkviMlhQ
店員小姐嘆了口氣，撕掉了貼在看板的售房告示。103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDhzh4swc6G
這話聽起來好像有什麼問題，可我一時又說不出來。103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwTdPIVnF3P
103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqvJNrAIJeq
「……既然決定要合夥，那就告訴你我的名字吧。103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMrvJ6JsFF3
我叫澤妮亞（Zennia），要記住喔。」103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXaYYAp9T9Y

103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdb8FzfIqqe
今天的委託是探索無限迴廊中層。103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxndGmSNgkK
跟衝天塔一樣，無限迴廊也是埃米爾界為了緩解資源短缺問題而修建的人造建築。103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw8G58g49hp
但比起成功通往異世界的衝天塔，無限迴廊現在更像是深不見底的大坑，裡面堆滿了魔物。103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVTuLQioD0F
103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIK2EZH8Bnx
然而，也不是沒有找到有用的資源。103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4Qb3e8c4vo
就如對阿高普路斯主權問題和新世界開發的爭議一樣，四國簽署了君子條約，決定互不干涉。103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoJZnXL84cl
但這協議君子之餘，還有點粗暴——誰先找到的，就是誰的。103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8tYkXCy9rE
103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcntJ2lwctN
因此，我接下了摩根市政府的探索委託。103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhfnEcVO7TM
雖然西國在勞工問題上頗遭詬病，但西國人有句話：只要你不是西國人，在西國就是人上人。103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdy8qJ4tpLV
他們對外人，比對自己人好多了。103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpyOAEtS32z
103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaPVEN6c6WJ
說來奇怪，本來早前連前往南國的路都覺得難走，現在穿過步伐沙漠卻沒有一點不適。103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVkAjpewtNw
我攫著一點錢，跟無限迴廊的門衛握了握手。103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwi3WOtBKdw
門衛掂了掂份量，沒有多說什麼，便把我引到了通往中層４１樓的電梯。103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCYCcKML4DC
103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFmcHS5YLaK
無限迴廊淺層已經被徹底開發，變成新冒險者的訓練場了，那邊沒法找到什麼有價值的東西。103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqbL7bO0nT4
但從４２樓開始就不同了。103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTSuvYoYjpl
我輕易找到了委託者要求的石板，用油布包好，並放進背包的防震夾層。103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtYZcTYyFTR
接下來就是我的時間了。103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUE3GC8q4xz
103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnnsBxK05EB
中層的魔物多種多樣，但總體跟地表上的差異不大。103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVwa2UPKO0k
但在這個動物權益保障局管不到的地方，那些野豬野牛可要遭殃了。103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4ULi5kQqHA
103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUl88UhxaNm
我手槍上膛，獵刀出鞘，四處查看有什麼生物可以加入下城咖啡館的新菜單。103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7LbetWV32J
103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsp81EBUUEV
比如遠處的那頭牛就是一個不錯的目標。103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ33ZpD353sG
牠跟牛牛草原的牛群顯然有血緣關係；但眼神兇狠，動作迅捷，遠勝於牠的同種。103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzCeWXN7yRv
看來無限迴廊的環境不只鍛鍊了冒險者們啊。103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTiAX8aQWwl
103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQRj9aRSQTG
我抬手射擊，子彈出膛，火光準確無誤地打在了魔物的眉心。103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0uSYbpGFiz
雖然如此，魔物卻只晃了晃，額頭滲血，目光狠狠地盯著尚在冒煙的槍口。103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf728PIrZzb
103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ027ZQlD3rI
——上次戰鬥已經是多久之前的事了呢？103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPryJJiuaXw
多年的沉澱使我心靜如水。我彷彿一個第三者，指揮著身體躲閃魔物的猛攻。103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVmaRyb5Bgh
但是槍法和身手明顯衰退了。以前長槍短炮是我四肢的延伸；但現在我甚至記不清彈夾裡還有多少發子彈。103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYo8DasOYYz
103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5VrhHX9TG9
糾纏良久，魔物渾身是血，而我也被逼到了牆角。103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ84SlWYBFIT
牠突然後退兩步，並發出震耳欲聾的咆哮。103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ25ix8MieDu
103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlyEitjqHO6
即使在耳鳴之中，我仍清晰地辨認到這是衝鋒的先兆。103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSsegmlFics
魔物畢竟是魔物，並不會隱藏自己的殺著。103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBfgcBa5z4w
103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD0WzX1llRy
我微微蹲伏，往側面一退，左臂支地，右手緊持尖刀。103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNZNXpvrfeQ
魔物如鐵鎚般砸在了牆上，泥石灰塵滾滾而下。103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0rE29iV8gq
早已準備就緒的我如同獵犬般搶到身下，一刀就刺進了魔物的喉嚨，順勢一拖，割開了一個大口子。103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6zZz3tQ0lz
103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7O8oSTLcKu
我放開刀柄，著地打滾，以防魔物垂死的掙扎。103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGc9YImMNfO
魔物龐大的身軀只扭動了幾下，隨即前肢跪倒，再也起不來了。103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU1OgvMOi4E
103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfTISm7VwtH
我擦了擦額上的汗，開始驗收戰利品。103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNdmYj421KC
牛角是要帶走的，也許能製成酒杯；至不濟也能當成裝飾。103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVHSvTEFDjy
牛肉只能挑珍貴的部位割下。雖然可惜，但剩下來的肉就便宜了別的魔物了。103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNScacTuUdz
牛皮太重了，再說血淋淋的背回下城肯定會被動物權益保障局當成偷獵者看待。103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuDYWIvBHgd
103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe9Rsg2MVcq
理想十分美好，可我實在不是一個有經驗的獵人。103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzOTtC5pcNv
除了牛角勉強算是取了下來之外，別的部分被我戳得滿是坑洞，但仍切不下完整的一塊。103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVlKa88Aaqh
好牛肉都被糟蹋了。103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7koecV1lJm
103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyyb1qSjhJK
眼見血腥氣愈來愈濃，魔物腳步聲愈來愈多，我只得隨意割斷幾塊牛肉，拋下剩下的部分落荒而逃。103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU2p6IWZz2D

晚上，正在打掃門面的澤妮亞盯著我血淋淋的麻布包問道。103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3AV6O4WLuH
103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSXa3x2VjNI
回去下城區並沒有出門時那麼容易。103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSvDfg33vwY
即使戴上了手套，我還是被魔物的血濺得一身都是；要是堂堂正正通過吊橋的話肯定會被盤問。103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR7sKldE6e6
幸好西軍騎士們十分好說話，只要錢給足了，他們絲毫不在意我跟他們一起走騎士團專用通道入城。103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8m1aXcdCxZ

澤妮亞略有點狼狽地接住了我拋出的小袋子。103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡws5UPAhE9c
我也不管她的回應，徑自扛著布袋走進廚房。103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrhMtHqXnhO
103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzRQlmMvFre
雖然我廚藝不精，但我所割下的畢竟是牛肉最為柔嫩的部位，還是可以一吃的吧。103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVPq080dXJf

103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcvvmkuWIgl
聽見澤妮亞的聲線略有點顫抖，我只得回過身去。103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYlcUxxZ1dG
當初妳推委託給我的時候可不是這樣說的。103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy5rWGvmmnN

103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ92kNhWcyS2
