「喂小絮,你剛才是不是想跟伊琳諾說什麼?」459Please respect copyright.PENANAll7nCMhpHI
在蕾蒂雅和伊琳諾都回到各自房間之後,艾薇亞拉住我說道。459Please respect copyright.PENANA6jI0ELsYP6
「本來是的……不過感覺她不會相信,就沒說出來。不是什麼大事。」459Please respect copyright.PENANA5cYlibqWyY
艾薇亞喔了一聲,似乎沒打算再追問下去。459Please respect copyright.PENANA82DFD1UV4A
「那……你覺得她有沒有介懷我剛才多嘴?」459Please respect copyright.PENANAUcgCxY8Nvm
「認識妳一段時間之後就習慣了,妳總是在不合適的場合說不合適的話。」459Please respect copyright.PENANAN8AyfLxFrq
被刺中的艾薇亞臉上一紅。459Please respect copyright.PENANAgUuJSxRqV0
459Please respect copyright.PENANAlct28G9D2O
「那該怎辦?」459Please respect copyright.PENANAXdOnInuvvr
「我們現在去看看她吧。要是她不開心就陪她一會,沒什麼反應就東拉西扯一些話題讓她分心。」
459Please respect copyright.PENANAlrCf2Was7X
少女點了點頭,我帶著她上樓敲了敲伊琳諾的房門。459Please respect copyright.PENANAD7CUpBosC8
459Please respect copyright.PENANA6haMZmC121
「沒鎖,進來吧。」459Please respect copyright.PENANAEdwCUfXmvo
「伊琳諾…………呃,妳在幹什麼?」459Please respect copyright.PENANAFZPsJWPzQl
雲石地板上放滿了黑魔法素材和像是機械零件的金屬塊。459Please respect copyright.PENANAFazjk0GxeP
伊琳諾看著一柄被拆開的火鎗若有所思。459Please respect copyright.PENANA5sIcsuSJ14
459Please respect copyright.PENANAAGUZtZgi6h
「這是……火繩槍?」459Please respect copyright.PENANAtHAtOxNPTp
「是轉輪槍。妳和小絮君繳來的新式武器。」459Please respect copyright.PENANAOw8herA046
「妳跟蕾蒂雅要來的?」
459Please respect copyright.PENANAyITzzU34zj
伊琳諾點頭回應我的問題。459Please respect copyright.PENANA58mQ51pMrh
說起來我也想過要一把便於攜帶的火器,不過一直沒開口要。459Please respect copyright.PENANAk6rNJPgazQ
459Please respect copyright.PENANAvLAe0saATW
「呃,伊琳諾,我記得妳是個魔法使?魔法使們不是不喜歡依賴機械器物的嗎?」459Please respect copyright.PENANAnVD0kAATuK
沒見識過伊琳諾使用槍械的艾薇亞問道。459Please respect copyright.PENANAsTD52lAkhU
「……時代不同了。魔法師在人們心中本來代表著崇拜和敬畏,可是現在魔法漸漸常見,人們也從畏懼魔法師變得開始考慮怎樣超越魔法師。我們需要增強自己的能力,才能不被時代淘汰。459Please respect copyright.PENANAYApd5Y9R2q
我選擇借助器物的力量。而且,我本身就喜歡機械類的東西。459Please respect copyright.PENANASD7Jt39bSj
……老一輩的魔法師都不這樣想。特別是學院裡有數十年歷史的魔法師家系。」459Please respect copyright.PENANAOuluWIgD6c
459Please respect copyright.PENANAQ8pnIMIpRx
艾薇亞顯然是有聽沒有懂,她找了處沒被金屬塊佔領的地方坐下。
459Please respect copyright.PENANALhQqKbA4VZ
「妳在維修……不,改良這玩意?」459Please respect copyright.PENANAfIpsNFpiNX
我被她說得有點興趣,於是開始發問。459Please respect copyright.PENANA31mCRPgS63
459Please respect copyright.PENANAszSsgO8VH8
「是的。跟古老的火繩槍不同,這新槍不需要點火,而以撞針發射子彈。因為去除了引燃火藥的麻煩,槍機的設計更為緊湊,以及──你靠近點看看,這轉輪設計有什麼特別?」459Please respect copyright.PENANAuAFFDgndHS
伊琳諾指向扳機旁的轉輪。459Please respect copyright.PENANAEPFDcQvHM3
「……我可看不出來,還是妳說明吧。」459Please respect copyright.PENANAxfc9u81Y6t
「轉輪裡可以塞進多於一發的彈藥。現在扣下扳機之後,轉輪就會把下一發子彈推到槍管,也就是──現在的火器已經可以連射了。再也沒有開完一槍之後被敵人靠近任人宰割的事情發生……好吧,發生機率會減少一些,但已經很棒了,不是嗎?」459Please respect copyright.PENANAQwkFPv8EgY
其實我只聽懂了可以連射這句。459Please respect copyright.PENANAVj1kQ1ud4X
459Please respect copyright.PENANAHwRy3FVLCw
「不過畢竟新式器械沒有傳統魔法體系那麼多年的歷史。而且特別是這些槍支是大量生產的,用料並不是非常優秀……於是我在魔學院拿來的魔法金屬就有用處了,可以拿來替換掉槍機免得它在重要時刻生鏽卡住。」459Please respect copyright.PENANAJnMhJhvq8F
459Please respect copyright.PENANAClrMMTpacc
「啊,伊琳諾……妳懂用刺刀嗎?」459Please respect copyright.PENANASS4JEJ0lLk
艾薇亞突然發問。459Please respect copyright.PENANArqXOjkpETN
她指著槍支前端安放的刺刀。459Please respect copyright.PENANAU459SrfMsU
為了在面對衝鋒時能夠即時反抗,火鎗前端都裝有刺刀,必要時可以當成長矛使用。不過這女孩子就算有刺刀大概也沒有體力近身搏鬥。
459Please respect copyright.PENANAJHsP1qCoZM
459Please respect copyright.PENANAEry3c4UdeH
「……不會。乾脆去掉好了,能更輕一點。」459Please respect copyright.PENANAAL7C6bWb2K
「真可惜。在騎士受訓時我接受過運用長矛的訓練,要是妳想學我可以教妳。」459Please respect copyright.PENANAO4kzt5utqt
459Please respect copyright.PENANAXpXoOpr050
「啊……我突然想到,要是把魔杖塞進刺刀的位置會怎樣?」459Please respect copyright.PENANAuMQXlTfi2P
看見刺刀只是粗略地架在槍管上,我感覺塞進什麼都不會影響槍械運用。459Please respect copyright.PENANADcZW3rkHF3
艾薇亞噗的一聲笑了出來,伊琳諾倒是在認真考慮。459Please respect copyright.PENANAPbPcfL7E19
459Please respect copyright.PENANAMNR7SE87OW
「……說不定可行呢。把魔杖握柄削掉,只把尖端的寶石套進去,那應該能兼任魔杖的職務……只是不能帶回學校上課就是了,會被罵死。」459Please respect copyright.PENANAu5bPVe1T4w
好吧,似乎魔杖不一定需要魔杖的外型。459Please respect copyright.PENANAQxs8akaDsM
459Please respect copyright.PENANAkvcc0Awvtm
「被妳這麼一說我也想要一把了……妳以前用的手槍還要不要?」459Please respect copyright.PENANAQ1Jqn1dSIf
「小絮君想要的話,我再製一把改裝轉輪槍給你好了。明天就能造好。」459Please respect copyright.PENANACy6JapSkyf
「啊,不用麻煩了……這些金屬很貴吧?」459Please respect copyright.PENANAVRRP5Cg9da
「魔學院的倉庫堆得放不下。這些魔法金屬其實是學生做的功課,不過除了特別優秀的被買去造武器之外,別的都堆在倉庫沒人要……」
459Please respect copyright.PENANAWxaLcrHnhv
「那,拜託妳了。艾薇亞要不要一把?」459Please respect copyright.PENANAkrejbzz35y
「啊,免了……想到要填裝,維護我就頭痛。我還是喜歡用劍。」459Please respect copyright.PENANAvzB7uSfoey
459Please respect copyright.PENANAUyPkaStTAr
* * *459Please respect copyright.PENANAysdg6ztHJb
459Please respect copyright.PENANAcDX6l99Mel
在閒談了一段時間後,天色已經黑了下來。459Please respect copyright.PENANA5vw1HqkSeN
在見識到伊琳諾徒手把魔法金屬製成槍機之後,我開始思考惹到魔法師的後果。459Please respect copyright.PENANAqINLMxoj3Z
除了沒有魔杖在手之外,她差不多已經調整好整把火鎗。459Please respect copyright.PENANAcxCATOHZHR
459Please respect copyright.PENANALNp3ZI7iwi
「……騎士團差不多來到了吧?」459Please respect copyright.PENANA3M6n6jCf6B
忽然,伊琳諾看著時鐘問道。459Please respect copyright.PENANAZYZzvDpQrI
「……啊,差不多了。」459Please respect copyright.PENANAydXxfnv6LI
艾薇亞不甚熱衷地回道。459Please respect copyright.PENANARABeba6gaW
「……我留在這幫小絮君改裝手槍。我不下去了。」459Please respect copyright.PENANANO498Be2wX
459Please respect copyright.PENANAQrUK8gRAfB
459Please respect copyright.PENANAfiUTvlu9pu
「為什麼妳們好像不想看著騎士團的樣子?」459Please respect copyright.PENANAvhBGCEItBM
我向她倆發問。459Please respect copyright.PENANAS4G5g8Gdsh
「並不是不想看見啦……只不過,來的肯定是我的哥哥,他……實在是比較有活力。」459Please respect copyright.PENANA0mz1qN2YK3
艾薇亞苦笑說道。459Please respect copyright.PENANALCEmy93hAS
……等等,她的哥哥?459Please respect copyright.PENANA3kmaqWYbSe
就是吩咐騎士在我胸口刺上一刀那個人?459Please respect copyright.PENANAe3VREb5oaq
459Please respect copyright.PENANA3aOKHJILKa
「……他是騎士團成員?」459Please respect copyright.PENANAiyHrGBgyQO
「是團長。雖然蕾蒂雅沒說,可是要說到騎士團的精銳,那來的必定是他。」459Please respect copyright.PENANAkViRSKiHiD
「……那,他叫什麼名字。」459Please respect copyright.PENANAOkHaRqpTKC
我暗摸小刀的動作沒被艾薇亞發現,她面無表情地問答我的問題。459Please respect copyright.PENANAHf2LvDCDeD
「塔維斯.賽林,我的第二個兄長。」459Please respect copyright.PENANA4SmOXes86J
「呃,第二個?」459Please respect copyright.PENANA6px96Cvjip
「小絮君不知道嗎?艾薇亞有兩個哥哥啊。雖然都相處得一般……」459Please respect copyright.PENANAQku1AhraQT
「實際上還有一個妹妹……不過和大哥相比,他算是跟我比較說得來的家人。」
459Please respect copyright.PENANAViT6QnCemG
459Please respect copyright.PENANAlKRklDhNDi
「他是怎麼樣的人?」459Please respect copyright.PENANAAxE0JPT8RU
「小絮君,你把艾薇亞的冒失和正義感乘以三再變成男人,就是她的二哥。」459Please respect copyright.PENANAkznbMSQKeD
「……也就是三倍的呆笨,不看場合發言,暴力,智商低下和沒常識?……喂別捏我的臉!」459Please respect copyright.PENANAjQ1BwdNUDD
459Please respect copyright.PENANAxHtxSzXXSc
459Please respect copyright.PENANAEVsUTKrUcr
459Please respect copyright.PENANAMTnyPDiFjy
最後只有我和艾薇亞兩人走到大廳迎接。459Please respect copyright.PENANAxflgyFc5Vg
正門站著六名騎士。站在最前面的人有著跟艾薇亞稍微相似的臉。459Please respect copyright.PENANA1elzpyN2eO
如果記憶沒錯,三年前派人滅口的人應該是賽林家長子,而不是這個騎士團團長。459Please respect copyright.PENANAbFSPxbAehn
不過他有可能也知道內情,我在試探他口風的同時必需小心。459Please respect copyright.PENANAfkUOwne4GH
459Please respect copyright.PENANAkcRiuJngFN
「晚上好,塔維斯兄長。」459Please respect copyright.PENANA0EzDFBEEnu
「晚上好。」459Please respect copyright.PENANAsE3JaZz58N
我跟著艾薇亞打招呼。459Please respect copyright.PENANAHDy8J0G1Ww
459Please respect copyright.PENANAP3qV9ot7yv
「艾薇亞晚上好。這位怎麼稱呼?」459Please respect copyright.PENANALBdeAlfsXX
「啊,他叫米利恩.賽……」459Please respect copyright.PENANAz9J0yIzGnx
「咳咳,直接叫小絮就好。」459Please respect copyright.PENANA6jTaqQYk31
我暗地伸手一拍艾薇亞。459Please respect copyright.PENANAS3W3rtiXi0
她擅自給我取的偽名使用了賽林這姓氏。459Please respect copyright.PENANAnQ5CNfm8PX
瞞得過別人,可瞞不過妳的家人好嗎?459Please respect copyright.PENANASDDnnGoVxA
459Please respect copyright.PENANAttUw29uXxK
「在下是近衛騎士團團長塔維斯.賽林,很高興認識你。459Please respect copyright.PENANAvx83jNSNOy
先問一下……小絮,你是不是重視禮節那類人?」459Please respect copyright.PENANAoF94ucj052
「不是。」459Please respect copyright.PENANANjp9yrOXFy
我微笑答道。459Please respect copyright.PENANAuMDV6EaVsY
「呼,那各種禮儀可以免去了吧?實話告訴你,我最不耐煩貴族見面時一定要做的那套規矩了。」459Please respect copyright.PENANAJJtXuLxKLL
459Please respect copyright.PENANAJGHj8mQStv
「請放心,我不會說出去的。」459Please respect copyright.PENANA2tWcOuZLwH
我依然微笑著說道。459Please respect copyright.PENANA3rGwkMRQim
「……哥哥的習慣早就天下皆知了。」459Please respect copyright.PENANA1BTSc0M9zw
「少來說我,艾薇亞妳不也一樣嗎?家裡就我們兩個性格最像,過不慣家裡的貴族生活,選擇以騎士的身份為王國出一分力……459Please respect copyright.PENANAm5I4W7KdIv
說到這個,艾薇亞妳的進度真快啊。受訓至今三年,竟然已經做到我起步頭十年的成就。現在還反過來指揮我了,唉,有個強悍的妹妹,感覺真複雜啊。」459Please respect copyright.PENANAkh7u9xoGvE
459Please respect copyright.PENANANPA0qL0gJs
「啊,指揮……?指揮工作不是……」459Please respect copyright.PENANAvcwol65Zz9
「妳忘了蕾蒂雅不方便在別人面前表露身份?」459Please respect copyright.PENANAEvZHd33eIX
我又拍了拍她,提醒她蕾蒂雅的身份。459Please respect copyright.PENANAbIsHDSr5AC
459Please respect copyright.PENANAcD3PtIqy69
「好吧,那哥哥你不服氣嗎?反過來被妹妹指揮的感覺。」459Please respect copyright.PENANA7QZDKqsNYu
「哪有。妳知道我最喜歡把指揮之類要動腦筋的工作推給別人。」459Please respect copyright.PENANAespLS9w83k
「……這點你的妹妹也……疼!」459Please respect copyright.PENANA4xxOC3dAe6
屁股被拍了一下。459Please respect copyright.PENANA8s83yGFMie
459Please respect copyright.PENANACKX80Ihum4
「哈哈。小絮,我和她都是這樣的脾氣,小時候還常常打架呢。459Please respect copyright.PENANAatOLBTAkHS
不過畢竟我是男生,年紀大了,逐漸就不能對女生還手了,她看我不還手也不好意思再打下去。」459Please respect copyright.PENANAM0p3hJB0le
「她會不好意思?……喂!我可沒那麼紳士,我可要還手了?」459Please respect copyright.PENANAlZGn7Aqv7U
說話的同時後頸又捱了一掌。459Please respect copyright.PENANAvFbXDAJ9UT
「哥哥,我有點私人問題要處理。請帶你的人到二樓就宿。」459Please respect copyright.PENANACWAQjB36rz
459Please respect copyright.PENANAzmNabNvcCF
* * *459Please respect copyright.PENANADjhL38Ygz1
459Please respect copyright.PENANAp0JsQQtKsz
「嘻嘻,我就知道小絮不會還手。」459Please respect copyright.PENANADcVx79a2M1
「……免得打髒我的手。就當被蚊蟲咬了幾口好了。」459Please respect copyright.PENANARRc5mKJKer
「跟你說啊,哥哥就是因為不愛回嘴,我才不打他的。」459Please respect copyright.PENANAbk6foa03B1
459Please respect copyright.PENANAr1cDHSq2GE
爭執的結果是艾薇亞無傷獲勝,而我臉上吃了一巴掌,腰間三拳,小腿兩腳。459Please respect copyright.PENANAFc01ayT0Yr
跟以往比起來,不論是下手還是頻率都比以往輕。459Please respect copyright.PENANAldbodQv25n
459Please respect copyright.PENANAwXKKNL6Qrx
現在我和她坐在三樓的咖啡廳。459Please respect copyright.PENANAD19ducclxm
雖然服務生在行動前已經疏散,但果汁和糕點還是有留下一些。459Please respect copyright.PENANAcTTnN4tbfp
靜謐的夜裡,在微光中品嚐糕餅的滋味很奇妙。459Please respect copyright.PENANAdiAbDuXTCd
459Please respect copyright.PENANARmQO3FAfCw
而且,身邊坐著那個笨蛋女。459Please respect copyright.PENANA0bCsYshELZ
女性的髮香連同蛋糕的小麥香氣混進鼻子,感覺……算了,我還是不要去想。459Please respect copyright.PENANArqGQZvV6UO
認真的喜歡上了這個笨女孩這種事,怎麼可能說得出來。459Please respect copyright.PENANAZzTq74wfpQ
459Please respect copyright.PENANAbxL8wzngWW
「……我給伊琳諾拿些甜餅。」459Please respect copyright.PENANAGzdTrv7Zlu
「啊,我也去。」459Please respect copyright.PENANA4N6H2t0Fim
……沒能甩掉她。459Please respect copyright.PENANAWUYBGU1ejp
嗅覺的刺激令心情絮亂。459Please respect copyright.PENANAUBiOtTsA4t
伊琳諾好像忙得連門都沒有打開,只叫我們把糕點放在門口。459Please respect copyright.PENANAwIKPaMXdBl
459Please respect copyright.PENANA6DxYbbieOS
於是我們又回到了咖啡廳。459Please respect copyright.PENANA8n1ONIm3yz
……我寧願她揍我一頓,讓我斷掉幻想。459Please respect copyright.PENANAAMnwQEN5nF
459Please respect copyright.PENANAluvpjVqaNk
「小絮。」459Please respect copyright.PENANAO45pSrJ82e
「……什麼事啊,笨蛋。」459Please respect copyright.PENANAzSAUzlsgPD
心跳加速的時候,只好用刻意無禮的語氣拒絕交流。459Please respect copyright.PENANAObIz0U4WOQ
「光源不足的時候你的臉好像可愛一些。」459Please respect copyright.PENANA4Bq41kpGTF
「嗯,就像妳那男性化的臉被黑暗遮蓋時,妳也會稍微順眼一點點的。」459Please respect copyright.PENANAQE2PzLWbKs
腹部只捱了輕輕的一拳。459Please respect copyright.PENANAqz5vsDKVOC
如果是平時,她早就把我整個人抓起摔在地上。459Please respect copyright.PENANAOu8vRjU8k7
459Please respect copyright.PENANAkorPaNaNkQ
「你就不能說我也可愛嗎?」459Please respect copyright.PENANAkqmHDwRCda
「我騙妳沒問題,但妳自欺欺人有用嗎?」459Please respect copyright.PENANAwUxoV67oHX
「小絮你才是啊,自欺欺人有用嗎?459Please respect copyright.PENANAq3K5KHAfrj
雖然嘴還硬著,但你早就軟下來了吧。」459Please respect copyright.PENANAESQcBiseu4
459Please respect copyright.PENANAyR3K4OBS4L
她大概說的是內心軟下來,而不是說什麼別的地方。459Please respect copyright.PENANA7PgZU4Ewqr
「雖然……那個人在我心裡還是很重要,但我感覺開始有跡象走出陰影了。459Please respect copyright.PENANAkJwvD033cQ
在跟你待在一起的時候,感覺很愉快。」459Please respect copyright.PENANAIs08eypwnu
「……跟誰在一起?」459Please respect copyright.PENANABtNHAbMXU2
雖然明知,還是故問。459Please respect copyright.PENANA5SgXsb6749
「你又忘了?算了,你反正也不認識。459Please respect copyright.PENANAUHKkoG8gfn
那個對我不太溫柔的男生啦。雖然他跟你有些相似,但……我覺得分別愈來愈大了。」459Please respect copyright.PENANA5Wz9kqNGRF
……還真有點啼笑皆非。459Please respect copyright.PENANA1oMlRV6FjY
不過也好,談論這種話題時,我不會有額外的生理衝動。459Please respect copyright.PENANAvsUJHd1M5D
459Please respect copyright.PENANAEEDZ8H5x7b
「……什麼分別啊。」459Please respect copyright.PENANA8VRHoDAPd2
「你比他要更溫柔一點。就像剛才打架,我想他至少會還一兩下手。而且,最重要的是……你不會一聲不吭就離開我。」459Please respect copyright.PENANAvcOmVjpmaT
「……卡羅琳小姐也是。伊琳諾也是。為什麼要對我說?」459Please respect copyright.PENANAwsp1KeoLIr
「廢話,你是男生啊。」459Please respect copyright.PENANA1H3JQ8VgZS
「……妳哥哥也是男生,也不會離開妳。跟他說去。」459Please respect copyright.PENANA0tOxNQcbKf
459Please respect copyright.PENANAl0oj6XR4jj
艾薇亞臉上掛著微笑,好像在說懶得跟我說下去了。459Please respect copyright.PENANAS8FXNZUXNh
她伸手摟住了我,把臉靠在我的肩上。459Please respect copyright.PENANAc9npzBGNXf
459Please respect copyright.PENANACPlLjYd2jh
「……我快要大叫非禮了啊?」459Please respect copyright.PENANAWqdzks7Zxu
「叫啊,我看大家相信是我非禮男生呢,還是你非禮女生。」459Please respect copyright.PENANAhv4kTsKdHj
459Please respect copyright.PENANA1sVqk6xfIo
艾薇亞整個人就像小貓似的粘纏在我身上。459Please respect copyright.PENANAKYhJkkz9gu
我把身體盡量貼近椅背,但我每退一點,艾薇亞就進一點。459Please respect copyright.PENANA2gtGYS3fI3
滲進鼻子裡的不只是髮香,還有體香。459Please respect copyright.PENANA5yXg28X5iM
隔著衣服,仍然感受到她身體的柔軟白嫩。459Please respect copyright.PENANAOSWswWuMjD
459Please respect copyright.PENANA7WzBbucQwn
「我感覺自己喜歡的就是小絮你這樣的男生。」459Please respect copyright.PENANANO6cbYZPMr
「……為什麼?喜歡被逗弄的感覺?」459Please respect copyright.PENANAvQRT7gGGqG
459Please respect copyright.PENANA2rDBVhWUNp
我自覺已經盡可能地對她不友善了。459Please respect copyright.PENANA08DMEI22O5
……「盡可能」其實也只不過是偶爾說幾句逗她的話。459Please respect copyright.PENANAhBFUnDCng8
如果我真的能狠下心腸,在她抱上來的時候一把推開她就是了。459Please respect copyright.PENANAEYos2YSMrf
459Please respect copyright.PENANAz1lfBaqwhw
「雖然看上去不可靠,可是小絮是會陪伴我到最後的人。459Please respect copyright.PENANAWkbFKFwUZt
雖然你極力掩飾,但我知道的……你是最珍視我的男生。」459Please respect copyright.PENANAiLnZzON6CC
459Please respect copyright.PENANAGiHMJXTSOU
無言而對,只好伸手撫摸她的頭髮。459Please respect copyright.PENANAB9vRzmjjfz
「我覺得我這類人是無法討人喜歡的。說不定妳很快就會後悔。459Please respect copyright.PENANAd5w3AQPCGR
說實話,我不喜歡自己。不喜歡自己自然也不懂喜歡別人。」459Please respect copyright.PENANAn56TjEkwmZ
「你只是不懂而已。你是喜歡我的。459Please respect copyright.PENANApJcAArFoho
你一直在保護我,也不捨得傷害我。哪怕在戰鬥的時候。」459Please respect copyright.PENANAkYRLs5t9Hr
459Please respect copyright.PENANAg8Q5J0R3ph
……為什麼這種時候她突然變得那麼敏銳。459Please respect copyright.PENANAd81EhNzpNp
「……說不定我只是一直比較孤單,為了不想忍受這痛楚,才會對別人好來留住別人。」459Please respect copyright.PENANAEkoD2CyNKQ
「那我已經被你留住了。你不會孤單的。」459Please respect copyright.PENANAuxB93h5dJb
「……妳的心靈很寬廣,妳懂得了解和包容身邊的人。459Please respect copyright.PENANAhYjFi8BAPS
當初我就是被妳這點吸引住的。所以才會來到妳身邊。」459Please respect copyright.PENANAgJn4wjgDX1
459Please respect copyright.PENANAv9bWtkS2a4
艾薇亞臉上露出神氣的表情。459Please respect copyright.PENANA1H9ibEIh6U
她把自己這項特點視為驕傲吧。459Please respect copyright.PENANAey2L2pbzeV
459Please respect copyright.PENANAWxYTYA6lNd
「坐下來,我想跟妳談談我的事。」459Please respect copyright.PENANAdNp6kFFzSZ
我抱起了艾薇亞,把她扶到她本來的座椅上。459Please respect copyright.PENANAg76YxxXEug
459Please respect copyright.PENANAcbuA1Cxzuo
……不自覺地被她引出了心底的話。459Please respect copyright.PENANAdB3vQOLSij
只要小心一點言辭,應該不會有什麼問題吧。459Please respect copyright.PENANARKXk0STQ3q
459Please respect copyright.PENANAHnyvrcbEoZ
「我討厭自己。我覺得自己會為身邊的人帶來不幸。459Please respect copyright.PENANAgItiim2BDM
即使我無意傷害別人,對我親切的人依然會因為我遭遇不測。」459Please respect copyright.PENANAnD8xBGmbhV
姊姊在密林中遭受圍攻的一幕浮現在記憶中。459Please respect copyright.PENANAD4amJDPXcM
459Please respect copyright.PENANAxO3wXenOKM
「那個曾對我很親切的人,我曾經猜疑過她。459Please respect copyright.PENANAL2PICJrcne
就因為一個陌生人的離間。459Please respect copyright.PENANAKzsK7lz4xX
就因為沒有血緣關係這種緣故,曲解了別人的心意。459Please respect copyright.PENANAd5kO7OMCho
多疑又自作聰明。我這樣評價自己。」459Please respect copyright.PENANAJtJ1RWRg2f
459Please respect copyright.PENANAz4CAdfY8MS
艾薇亞表情溫和的在聆聽。459Please respect copyright.PENANA8wVEbYpOoq
看著她這樣的表情,我覺得真正呆笨的其實是自己。459Please respect copyright.PENANATH99V2ZtYV
459Please respect copyright.PENANAYgqFijRrmn
「自此之後我不再信任陌生人,但我當時仍然不清楚自己會帶來惡運。459Please respect copyright.PENANAwRhKSEpmBe
我試圖鍛煉自己的力量來防止厄運降臨,可是沒有效果。459Please respect copyright.PENANAHtUyfyBFML
這次好幾個家庭被我帶進絕路。」459Please respect copyright.PENANAXJUY0rD1Z3
我極其含糊地帶過了三年前的事件。459Please respect copyright.PENANALodHlyJ2SR
459Please respect copyright.PENANA9uvJQTVL8w
「小絮。人是不會帶來惡運的。459Please respect copyright.PENANAjeie4ygvwQ
你想想,你所經歷的不幸是因你而起的嗎?」459Please respect copyright.PENANAM7ZOjK5l2a
……這得問妳哥哥。459Please respect copyright.PENANAYzdMJsQhqc

「那就是了。你只不過是當時在場,而又未能阻止而已。459Please respect copyright.PENANA4x62ukhOzK
就像我和伊琳諾──你沒為我們帶來惡運對吧?」459Please respect copyright.PENANA6vGy1EeTnH
459Please respect copyright.PENANAQOSewZlPww
伊琳諾是沒有,可是妳已經被我連累一次了。459Please respect copyright.PENANAnsg6HNewOB
不過這不能說出口。459Please respect copyright.PENANAibwFGBpDqm
459Please respect copyright.PENANAppPTTGtXI3
「……是沒有。」459Please respect copyright.PENANA8NboSM7oy1
「那就把惡運這種論調拋到一邊。我,不,我們擁有力量保護身邊的人。459Please respect copyright.PENANAMJI5WQojV3
小絮。你自己就不只救過我一次了,你還沒有自信嗎?459Please respect copyright.PENANAItE2tVZbTq
就算還沒有自信也不要緊。我會幫助你的,無論任何厄運降臨,我都相信我們能合力打破。」459Please respect copyright.PENANAdj43s6kbWd
「……我個人是比較希望不會有厄運再次降臨。」459Please respect copyright.PENANABHSgngbDaC
459Please respect copyright.PENANAzZo0LwINKU
艾薇亞剛才橡皮糖似的黏人,現在卻在握拳站立,一副很有信心的樣子。459Please respect copyright.PENANAVWVR81F6Fm
……兩種都很適合她。459Please respect copyright.PENANApzeYjqgNvL
459Please respect copyright.PENANA0rue0tPeMp
「我當然也希望啦,但即使不幸發生,我也不會害怕。459Please respect copyright.PENANASkg4aNVGEf
……嘻嘻,我知道到時小絮會保護我的。」459Please respect copyright.PENANAVXYC7kyl0c
「……在能力範圍以內,也許會。」459Please respect copyright.PENANAjItlHAIVpN
「你的嘴巴總是跟內心意見不一。459Please respect copyright.PENANAmXCudiyuIq
但你也總該承認,你是喜歡我吧?」459Please respect copyright.PENANAPlNW0q2JxQ
459Please respect copyright.PENANAkPB4xWAMVj
我也像她一樣站起身子,然後伸出雙手,微微使力捏住她兩邊臉頰。459Please respect copyright.PENANAZhYcraSGGA
「假如再漂亮一點我會考慮。」459Please respect copyright.PENANAPK19Szp79i
「變態!」459Please respect copyright.PENANAhZfkZGLEXs
她一腳踏上了我的腳面,然後一巴掌掃倒了我。459Please respect copyright.PENANAlb35tcRX33
459Please respect copyright.PENANAaqhuaK9rX6
* * *459Please respect copyright.PENANAQnbWTDkDQc
459Please respect copyright.PENANANdfH79CaY2
「小絮君,昨晚睡不夠嗎?」459Please respect copyright.PENANA72sa0OXeFp
「不知道是不是作了關於艾薇亞的夢,害我一整晚心神不寧。」459Please respect copyright.PENANA78CksnIFr8
「作夢會有巴掌痕跡嗎?」459Please respect copyright.PENANAuwsXsrAnYI
「為了確認是夢還是現實,我摑了自己一耳光。」459Please respect copyright.PENANAX18v7NMDx6
「……那還真用力啊。」459Please respect copyright.PENANAGgguXzQBgr
459Please respect copyright.PENANAqzqwpf1xQT
清晨,與穿著睡衣在走廊散步的伊琳諾聊天。459Please respect copyright.PENANAdA7e7InDhx
艾薇亞既然和我待到同樣時間才睡,她肯定還沒醒。459Please respect copyright.PENANA143V4dEwp1
我從伊琳諾手裡接過她改造的短鎗。459Please respect copyright.PENANA8j6HWjC1l3
459Please respect copyright.PENANAz6hzi8v2z5
「昨晚並沒有多少時間,所以我只更新了輪機。459Please respect copyright.PENANATIS4X6cxTz
不過已經可以保證一千發以內不會炸膛或者卡彈了。」459Please respect copyright.PENANAenGMnir0mL
「謝謝。妳有好好睡嗎?別為了幫我弄得自己失眠。」459Please respect copyright.PENANAErrhOOWNyL
「你看我能夠自然醒來還起得比你早就知道了。」459Please respect copyright.PENANAd7hNwvIhkh
459Please respect copyright.PENANANUsEMICm9V
為了不驚醒飯店內的人,我跟伊琳諾跑到室外試練射擊。459Please respect copyright.PENANAlvwVMXVdP2
在指導了握法和瞄準之後,她把一些子彈塞到我手裡。459Please respect copyright.PENANADrDhH1mnfi
459Please respect copyright.PENANA6zg02UGj8T
「該真正試一槍了。放鬆手腕,不要跟槍支拚力氣……459Please respect copyright.PENANAthAWjWm1MG
不要弄亂呼吸,開槍前手不要抖。」459Please respect copyright.PENANAHPZvN6OMoK
459Please respect copyright.PENANAeIjUWkmFDO
數次射擊之後,我總算是能擊中目標物了。459Please respect copyright.PENANA1GyginRwN0
第一次開槍的反震差點令我下意識地用腕力壓低槍支,幸好伊琳諾不停叫我放鬆。459Please respect copyright.PENANAEoqBSdbT9w
手槍的轟鳴聲頗為響亮。不過,比起伊琳諾日前用的那把已經好多了。459Please respect copyright.PENANAejhyogwQcr
而且威力和實用性都不低。可以成為劍與魔法以外的第三種工具。459Please respect copyright.PENANATKoiUWEqeN
459Please respect copyright.PENANAGZwh1DILMv
「小絮君,該去叫醒艾薇亞了吧?」459Please respect copyright.PENANAYo0PtTLAhO
「嗯,我試試對她的枕頭來一槍。」459Please respect copyright.PENANAt40zcyZRaN
「即使這樣她也未必會醒的。還是我來吧。」459Please respect copyright.PENANAxYUGig1KeX
459Please respect copyright.PENANA5eAcxR1lwB
即使明知艾薇亞在睡,伊琳諾還是很有禮貌地輕輕叩門。459Please respect copyright.PENANAeqnLjaBrGF
房內是睡姿不佳的艾薇亞,抱著羽毛枕很舒服的樣子。459Please respect copyright.PENANATRc8TbR49s
不妙,有點可愛啊。459Please respect copyright.PENANAfS68NH5cdY
459Please respect copyright.PENANApo5knzVyri
「起床啦。」459Please respect copyright.PENANAncXqPpZlr1
毫無回應。459Please respect copyright.PENANAqxeQOxmw6s
伊琳諾像是早知道沒有效果一樣聳了聳肩。459Please respect copyright.PENANAzV3p4sTECq
「小絮君,學著點。」459Please respect copyright.PENANAuDMWoJbYpr
伊琳諾用髮絲在她腳底輕輕搔弄。459Please respect copyright.PENANAp8MxO6QTi3
459Please respect copyright.PENANA9kyphC42Of
「嗚哇!」459Please respect copyright.PENANA7wrVFOxEiV
艾薇亞雙腳快捷無比地縮進被窩,上身反射性地坐直。459Please respect copyright.PENANAkvRpbZezLQ
「起床啦。」459Please respect copyright.PENANA1HolfZcnnA
伊琳諾仍然毫無表情地說道。459Please respect copyright.PENANAvmqJPtTPpT
459Please respect copyright.PENANAS4eIq0DMUe
「啊……距離集合還有多少時間?」459Please respect copyright.PENANAOeGGY7nwO1
「一小時。」459Please respect copyright.PENANA5VzWVjcIVx
「喔。」459Please respect copyright.PENANAT8ihVH8Qns
然後艾薇亞又一臉滿足地倒在床上。459Please respect copyright.PENANAOprff0IWHT
459Please respect copyright.PENANALhFXkJPQta
……這傢伙沒救了。459Please respect copyright.PENANA4tIVEECLXY
我們只好先一步到達大廳,看見正在喝紅茶的蕾蒂雅。459Please respect copyright.PENANASfotwrUNIK
459Please respect copyright.PENANAIwe6n1lGNj
「早安。」459Please respect copyright.PENANAQNvYTLTNaN
「早安,伊琳諾。」459Please respect copyright.PENANAPfhPdnxAGH
明明我也有說早安,但她只回應伊琳諾一個人。459Please respect copyright.PENANAtxdJA0m9Kz
459Please respect copyright.PENANAw2rRn4BNir
「……妳就不用整理下自己的裝備嗎?」459Please respect copyright.PENANAEY52epctpY
「我沒裝備。優秀的暗殺者不用裝備就能幹活。」459Please respect copyright.PENANAaGtEeaw7iH
「……那妳那柄鐮刀和鋼翼呢?」459Please respect copyright.PENANAkcZjuRoU0C
「它們不是裝備。」459Please respect copyright.PENANAAYjBk0XAHu
459Please respect copyright.PENANAaLOooV1Mcc
我有點懷疑她是不是睜眼說瞎話,但的確每次都不知道她從哪兒拿出東西,戰後又是不知道她藏到哪兒去了。459Please respect copyright.PENANAMR55ndQKXn
459Please respect copyright.PENANAtXqAB8ySzp
「比起我,你先顧好自己吧。你還在用那柄小刀嗎?」459Please respect copyright.PENANA4Br5fJOp7T
「……是的,怎麼了?」459Please respect copyright.PENANAK1OKMZT6i3
「我警告過你了。你要繼續用是你自己的事。」459Please respect copyright.PENANAepuGifxMHX
「……小刀被下過咒這件事?這咒應該根本不是針對我下的,唯一能對這把刀下咒的人根本沒必要對我使用咒術。」459Please respect copyright.PENANAaY6ZBSucwZ
「你愛這樣想是你的事。希望你不要又要昏倒進醫院。」459Please respect copyright.PENANAdWWq9ym8Q6
459Please respect copyright.PENANAHBiMctJEGn
蕾蒂雅的這脾氣我知之甚稔,也就沒有回嘴。459Please respect copyright.PENANAI7kTHv6zg2
清點一下現在的裝備。459Please respect copyright.PENANAmHw3lrHjNr
背上一柄長劍,腰間掛著左輪短槍,以及藏在腕底的小刀。459Please respect copyright.PENANAMbwVU0mxC1
槍和小刀都是簡便且不顯眼的武裝,但背上那把長劍對暗殺者而言特別礙眼。459Please respect copyright.PENANAngCTlmwWoX
好想能用魔劍。本來打算再試試召喚的,但蕾蒂雅在旁邊就算了。459Please respect copyright.PENANAQPiHlbprZP
459Please respect copyright.PENANAuwPCl0X5Ij
「今天傭兵團隨時都可能會來。為了不打草驚蛇,伏擊隊伍都佈置在飯店裡面,直到確認大門閉鎖時才各自組成防線。459Please respect copyright.PENANAfo3t5TMRKc
等所有人進入飯店內部之後,小絮在大門待命準備閉門。當他們進入地下室範圍,或有人警覺到陷入包圍時馬上閉鎖。459Please respect copyright.PENANAA5F21zq4Xg
萬一他們在進入飯店前就察覺到異常,那就改為追擊戰。與沿路監視的騎士團配合,務求逮捕全員。459Please respect copyright.PENANAEIDcxIOtfn
……請把作戰內容跟沒睡醒的成員再說一遍。解散。」459Please respect copyright.PENANAeaSzsp7bs2
459Please respect copyright.PENANAEfIOjA1Ci3
把作戰內容跟艾薇亞說明只花了三分鐘,但把她從床上弄下來花了至少半小時。459Please respect copyright.PENANA4RRCBUxGI9
前二十五分鐘是髮絲搔腳和賴床不起的死循環。459Please respect copyright.PENANApRvMwatnAJ
最後五分鐘是我失去耐性,用拇指用力在她腳底按壓,和因此遭受的處刑時間。459Please respect copyright.PENANAQTLBb85e1z
459Please respect copyright.PENANAJQwnaqPX09
「好過分啊,腳底還在酸痛……」459Please respect copyright.PENANAeyRbSOqwBH
「我差點被妳打得頭骨都要碎了也沒抱怨。」459Please respect copyright.PENANADKF6XDo8XW
「你自找的!」459Please respect copyright.PENANARnEcaZWbIg
459Please respect copyright.PENANARuafIc6DJC
我懷疑這女孩會不會有一天直接把我打死。459Please respect copyright.PENANA06N6yu5sEL
伊琳諾的說法是,不用懷疑,那一天必定會到來。459Please respect copyright.PENANAWrpx77GSUp
459Please respect copyright.PENANAR2XfSUwALB
「……傭兵團已經出發了。奧契多本人,兩個專業傭兵,和五個芬納家的親信。按照預想的路線前來。」459Please respect copyright.PENANAoF6jLiQDco
蕾蒂雅面前放著施了魔法的地圖。459Please respect copyright.PENANAYsC3YZpITP
佈滿了黑點的路線正一個個變紅,這大概是在崗哨視察的騎士團用作通知蕾蒂雅的手段。459Please respect copyright.PENANAqtKZDPHCvy
萬一他們想逃回來,也有這些崗哨的人中途截擊。459Please respect copyright.PENANAZ5B2xSqZGx
459Please respect copyright.PENANAtEe5xziPDy
我隱伏在大門旁的裝飾物後面,只要推開裝飾,距離大門只有一步之遙。459Please respect copyright.PENANAJYBRBBse9I
伊琳諾站在二樓的扶手旁邊調整槍支。459Please respect copyright.PENANApBJEYb7emk
艾薇亞兄妹和騎士們則都待在地下室設伏。459Please respect copyright.PENANAnmvjPvnQYg
459Please respect copyright.PENANAcSPXSa9kvn
大門慢慢地被打開。459Please respect copyright.PENANAZ68zMuvz8g
我屏息靜氣,伊琳諾也躲了起來。459Please respect copyright.PENANAFObkdZb4aU
第一個走進來的是奧契多。459Please respect copyright.PENANAgNX9oPjhnk
上次在黑暗中看不清他的樣貌,現在看來,感覺像是不修篇幅的青年。459Please respect copyright.PENANAhPpqKV968D
因為鬍子刮得比較隨便的關係,也許實際上比看起來要年輕一點。459Please respect copyright.PENANAgWR3wyC8Db
459Please respect copyright.PENANAx27pYIY66C
「魔學院的人都走了嗎?」459Please respect copyright.PENANAxIXRS1tA2f
「應該都走了吧,外面的使魔都撤掉了。」459Please respect copyright.PENANAtkN4TLEMeP
「為什麼他們突然全跑了?我們的地下室被發現了嗎?」459Please respect copyright.PENANAxcq4uDlGlk
459Please respect copyright.PENANAdNdyZYZlS0
外面的人三三兩兩地步進飯店。459Please respect copyright.PENANATkyFFGHhnt
合共八人都進來了,暫時還沒被發現。459Please respect copyright.PENANAGpW2ya3bx1
459Please respect copyright.PENANADRh0XWsBOm
兩個傭兵呼喚著幾個人名,大概是被我和伊琳諾做掉的人吧。459Please respect copyright.PENANAm2jYRvUI7e
「沒人回應啊……」459Please respect copyright.PENANAn4zv56pSxD
「地下室隔音很優秀的,大概只是聽不見吧。奧契多老大,進去看看情況吧?」459Please respect copyright.PENANA6K48zIHNwH
459Please respect copyright.PENANAuALtAzlayh
奧契多不自然地四處張望。459Please respect copyright.PENANAf0seX2MIvJ
「啊……沒事,你們先去。我看看周圍。」459Please respect copyright.PENANA3ZkrKhiHUM
459Please respect copyright.PENANAf4PeTCnrXb
其他七人雖然有點疑惑,但還是走近了地下室。459Please respect copyright.PENANATgVDVwAreF
只有奧契多四處遊移,但就是不靠近地下室一步。459Please respect copyright.PENANAFlb4UWUzRb
不能再等了,現在就得鎖門。459Please respect copyright.PENANAWmhjKzFH2l
459Please respect copyright.PENANAOcTBIYTgc9
我一把推倒了面前的架子,快步搶到門前。459Please respect copyright.PENANAT92W1DWiUC
「我就知道……!」459Please respect copyright.PENANAUQsGmMI1Zd
奧契多箭步向大門衝去。459Please respect copyright.PENANAJk73tDtIoR
我雙手使力猛拉大門。459Please respect copyright.PENANAEnx50xTgnf
459Please respect copyright.PENANAOSdhhku2W0
「讓路!」459Please respect copyright.PENANA9QmmRPfueR
「嘖!」459Please respect copyright.PENANA6mJHE89ujV
背後風聲響起,奧契多已經奔到身後舉起拳刃。459Please respect copyright.PENANAYIjbRATBIV
要是繼續關門的話必需雙手齊使,加上背對敵人──459Please respect copyright.PENANAcoqBd9ucFb
459Please respect copyright.PENANA82x36Tzz5s
在他一刀劈下之前,我頭也不回地用背向後一撞,右手肘錘撞向對方。459Please respect copyright.PENANArO9eYEUG4F
不過這僅僅讓他沒劈下拳刃,他另一隻手一把推開了我,衝出了大門。459Please respect copyright.PENANAuHxZUq21Vv
459Please respect copyright.PENANArdwuknwboO
「不妙……!」459Please respect copyright.PENANAOB0l61tY6Z
我也趕緊衝出大門,但只看到他遠去的背影。459Please respect copyright.PENANAK15w0RCT1b
我用力緊緊拉上大門,在鎖上門鎖之後回頭一看,奧契多早已連影子也不見了。459Please respect copyright.PENANATkxNmxujcM
459Please respect copyright.PENANA1InD0HU5OZ
「不是回城的路……」459Please respect copyright.PENANAZtGFdiuoqo
他並沒有原路退回,而是向著山林荒野之類的偏僻地方跑。459Please respect copyright.PENANAZ06RtgDMVz
那麼崗哨的騎士根本抓不住他。459Please respect copyright.PENANAc4aICAYC2p
459Please respect copyright.PENANAm8QBKdyTZQ
「乘還沒跑遠……!」459Please respect copyright.PENANAAVQhPJBLaR
雖然危險,但我還是決定孤身追縱。459Please respect copyright.PENANA0ZS2JEBIQe
459Please respect copyright.PENANArqJMuvGj3P
飯店本身處於城中偏僻的地方,回到市中心的路只有一條。459Please respect copyright.PENANAUXJdHzGSQb
既然他不選擇這條路,那就只能躲在郊外。459Please respect copyright.PENANAN4PbTN03bO
正常來說這是個不錯的選擇,但,459Please respect copyright.PENANAyCKXQBzXoU
459Please respect copyright.PENANAGVjcj6YjWk
「碧眼,偵搜──」459Please respect copyright.PENANARxR3OLrDaI
要逃過魔眼使的追縱,最好的方式反而是在人堆裡藏。459Please respect copyright.PENANAER62TNNd30
轉成碧綠色的魔眼捕捉住了人類的氣息。459Please respect copyright.PENANA9QmlJpu6yE
459Please respect copyright.PENANAmUqrbWnVjl
生物的存在會無意中干擾世界的魔力運轉。459Please respect copyright.PENANAllCTaIcSbc
只要還活著,人類就仍處於魔力的循環系統。459Please respect copyright.PENANAJ6DIMHulch
因此,呼吸進食等等活動廣義均可被稱作魔法。459Please respect copyright.PENANAVomV74fWkv
只是常人眼中的魔法往往反而是那些召風喚火,破壞平衡地從大氣中提取魔力的舉動,才被稱為魔法。459Please respect copyright.PENANAMm12vZhPFQ
459Please respect copyright.PENANAHKbvG1pkNy
轉化魔力以干預現世的魔法原本被稱作外源魔法,而以自身魔力運行的則是內源魔法。459Please respect copyright.PENANAuWTqIrrvTj
不過因為內源魔法實在平凡淺顯,世人都漸漸把外源魔法直接稱為魔法,甚至包括伊琳諾之類的正統魔法師。459Please respect copyright.PENANA155GBsdm7D
459Please respect copyright.PENANAVS4LP0c1FY
但我小時候學到的不同。我的家族主要是精於內源魔法,外源基本只是略通一二。459Please respect copyright.PENANAHi8PbUHWuH
我的魔眼和魔劍屬於內源,而黑燄紫霧則是外源。459Please respect copyright.PENANAirsKt3S0D0
蒼藍的魔眼能夠穿透障礙察知人類本身,而碧綠的魔眼則是看穿大氣。459Please respect copyright.PENANAIaMJ0K61L0
即使沒有靈敏的嗅覺,我仍能從周遭大氣的循環發現人類的活動足跡。459Please respect copyright.PENANAjI4XV7RDpA
459Please respect copyright.PENANAUOtWDnlnRg
追縱到了樹林。459Please respect copyright.PENANAjPXkvnXvof
他跑得並不遠,似乎是確信我們之中沒人能追到這些。459Please respect copyright.PENANAKHMGyJOKTv
我解除了魔眼,以肉眼從遠處觀察奧契多的身影。459Please respect copyright.PENANAhqcu8d6brh
459Please respect copyright.PENANANBK1GYhIpd
……他在偽造足印。459Please respect copyright.PENANACWEnT1sXZB
大概是想把被足印引來的追兵在樹林中引開吧。459Please respect copyright.PENANAnbUKOnGHyH
459Please respect copyright.PENANATrOp36pgnv
但很遺憾的是,樹林是我的主場。459Please respect copyright.PENANAqhCCMDQmpz
459Please respect copyright.PENANAgNC0J68cxt
「造得好逼真啊,不過下次如果能不在追兵面前偽造腳印就更完美了。」459Please respect copyright.PENANAuRyWtzB0Ku
我單手抓住樹幹穩住半身,下身穩穩坐在樹枝上。459Please respect copyright.PENANARiLeSaQZPN
459Please respect copyright.PENANAOSFyzVqXGw
「不用等到下次,你閉上眼睛數一百聲再來抓我,我保證你絕對發現不了。」459Please respect copyright.PENANAjjViic4KxG
「因為我沒數到十你就幹掉了我對吧?」459Please respect copyright.PENANAgUFY9t1VML
「還要數到十?小子你真有自信。」459Please respect copyright.PENANAGlZ8PxMJtY
459Please respect copyright.PENANAuJmsDZuUH4
他似乎不怎麼慌張的樣子。459Please respect copyright.PENANA28V6mar1n9
「雖然你追上來了,但你的同伴似乎沒跟上啊。我用不用找棵顯眼點的樹把你掛上去,讓你的同伴找到這兒時能順利替你收屍?」459Please respect copyright.PENANAsEzoU8YwaP
459Please respect copyright.PENANAM4F7LTreyP
「我不依賴同伴。不像你要賣掉同伴才能獨自逃生。459Please respect copyright.PENANAuze58pDRU9
你明明感覺到有埋伏,為什麼不早點大聲示警,讓同伴也能一起跑啊?459Please respect copyright.PENANAgWKGUjlMhe
是不是怕沒同伴在裡面拖延時間,伏兵就會馬上出來追你?」459Please respect copyright.PENANAS7essYPBww
459Please respect copyright.PENANAWdJQMC87zk
「我不明白你為何認為他們是我的同伴。我是傭兵,而他們還沒付今個月的報酬。按道理,我還該向你們討回賞錢。459Please respect copyright.PENANAQCJlJmeScY
還有,只要他們還在裡面,你就要先鎖門才能追我。就算你現在追到了,你的同伴也已經不可能來救你了。要怪就怪你自己為何不跑慢點,偏要追上我。」459Please respect copyright.PENANAqC0lN6Tsx3
459Please respect copyright.PENANAovYZbTKp7j
「你認為我能追上來但不能對付你?」459Please respect copyright.PENANAh5ICgOIegH
「下來試試看吧。」459Please respect copyright.PENANARB4UEoIPa5
459Please respect copyright.PENANAOJ53GITA84
我抽出長劍,從樹頂連著劍風一躍落地。459Please respect copyright.PENANArDPXNTf4IZ
奧契多沒有硬接跳躍揮擊,他側身躲開,然後從拳套上彈出尖刃。459Please respect copyright.PENANAHgX3Lvs1uj
我低頭躲過瞄準額頭的三記刺突。459Please respect copyright.PENANA3NyddAICou
459Please respect copyright.PENANArzBAFfpgu0
「小鬼,失算了吧?」459Please respect copyright.PENANAmMr3vGmqgQ
我翻轉長劍想要刺穿他的手臂,但劍尖被某種硬物擋住了。459Please respect copyright.PENANAHqg0cnVNxp
「花樣挺多。」459Please respect copyright.PENANAahdpHg0iQZ
459Please respect copyright.PENANAO1pUMOzpHP
看不清楚他袖下藏著什麼東西。459Please respect copyright.PENANAVQpsNZmlr4
大概是護套護腕之類的東西吧,他用的拳刃因為不方便迴護自身,因此他預先穿上了防護裝備。459Please respect copyright.PENANA3Dda74OQyC
但他雙臂轉動靈活,不像是戴上了重裝護甲的樣子。459Please respect copyright.PENANARxY1aPwkbF
459Please respect copyright.PENANAA56F52uxTa
摸不清楚對手底細,我退後兩步,左手罩住一把大氣魔力捏成球狀。459Please respect copyright.PENANAmB0wTOu9lG
對準奔近而來的敵人,成形的黑燄脫手飛出。459Please respect copyright.PENANAtv0rI9wgLA
敵人一閃身就躲過了,而且用拳刃架住我繞向側面的偷襲。459Please respect copyright.PENANANJ33qrmrF9
459Please respect copyright.PENANAxky25Fawjf
我連刺數劍,敵人除了用刃身擋架之外,有時還故意以前臂擋劍。459Please respect copyright.PENANAZeC4un2AXg
但刺向上臂的攻擊他一律躲避。459Please respect copyright.PENANACsV2X9bal8
由此看來他的護手應該只防前臂。459Please respect copyright.PENANAVGN0hcdSGy
想到此處,我向後一躍然後向天拋出長劍,雙手齊施連發黑燄。459Please respect copyright.PENANAKr5ylwan43
459Please respect copyright.PENANAFmkLJYcJLO
每一發炎彈都被對方躲過,但密集的火雨也讓敵人無法近身。459Please respect copyright.PENANASzZcmw7YZf
「小子,你就愛這樣浪費魔力嗎?你就算拖延時間,也沒人會來幫你!」459Please respect copyright.PENANAfN9HKBG02m
我不作回答,右手抄起從空中掉落的長劍。459Please respect copyright.PENANAWlbb2UuHHl
459Please respect copyright.PENANAvOHQBOqemv
眼見火網消弱,奧契多正面一刀刺來。459Please respect copyright.PENANAXZkL1dlq1p
我左手朝正面敵人放出一顆火球,但被對方用前臂打散。459Please respect copyright.PENANAA5ECcFM6MZ
我一躍跳上小樹,但他一刺不中,乾脆直接一刀劈斷我身處的樹幹。459Please respect copyright.PENANAHEfBJaaOv3
他獵鷹般的眼睛瞧著快要摔落的我,準備在我失去平衡時把我一刀兩斷。459Please respect copyright.PENANAHBuNmZtfv8
459Please respect copyright.PENANAdwc2ZhXXM5
「這,這煙是…?!」459Please respect copyright.PENANAHvIB0ebm1v
但,黯紫的煙霧蓋住了他的視線。459Please respect copyright.PENANADNKsjjPoUB
我發出火雨本來就不打算擊中對方。這兒是樹林,無論我射向哪兒,都會打中易燃物。459Please respect copyright.PENANAsO5vubf8zg
雖然魔力形成的火燄消退頗快,但仍足夠點燃煙霧。459Please respect copyright.PENANAl56TYqgcPQ
459Please respect copyright.PENANAwQd7Wj6ZJ1
紫霧罩住了附近一帶,而我則早已跳到另一棵樹上,睜開蒼藍的魔眼盯緊霧中的敵人。459Please respect copyright.PENANAGT2Q68KlCA
459Please respect copyright.PENANACMlQcvvcoS
他沒有失去理智地亂揮刀,而是在數刀不果後背靠樹幹,以防我的偷襲。459Please respect copyright.PENANAxyDYXSxeBk
同時拳刃橫胸護住要害,準備在我現身一刻就即時反擊。459Please respect copyright.PENANA6GGuNV1BPO
這在面對近戰時是很不錯的應對方式,然後我緩緩地掏出了手槍。459Please respect copyright.PENANAiDm4chRCqL
459Please respect copyright.PENANAEtaaUOJQxS
蕾蒂雅說要活口,那就別打頭好了。459Please respect copyright.PENANAUScVSqe0py
槍口火光響起,呼嘯飛出的子彈擊中了拳刃,把刀身打成兩截,尚有餘力的子彈還貫穿了他身後的樹幹。459Please respect copyright.PENANAEYrkV4q7lL
我隨著子彈飛身躍下,槍響很好地蓋過了我的聲音。459Please respect copyright.PENANAYzLeZCxH4T
459Please respect copyright.PENANAKljMbiwZ7V
長劍直指右上臂。459Please respect copyright.PENANAnn6jpRX9FV
不料仍是噹的一聲,劍尖依舊沒刺進去。459Please respect copyright.PENANAQGpF3CiqUF
同時失去刀刃的拳套上突然冒出了鋼刺,反手刺向我的手腕。459Please respect copyright.PENANALLUrsHbn5V
在我縮手避開的一刻,奧契多一把奪過我的長劍,繼而踢飛我的手槍。459Please respect copyright.PENANAlWF9sVrfE0
459Please respect copyright.PENANAhNBBB711Mu
在極近距離,奧契多長劍一撩插向我的胸膛。459Please respect copyright.PENANAKjHV4gwLRx
兩把武器都已失去的我就算仍能使用魔法,在這瞬間也凝聚不了魔力。459Please respect copyright.PENANAzXT4vvoENc
在這臉貼臉的距離要躲更是無從說起。459Please respect copyright.PENANASRA2sTBFZl
我精心計畫的突襲已經把自己逼進死地。459Please respect copyright.PENANAMH0D4nYQD3
──他是這麼認為的。459Please respect copyright.PENANAIC0Scxn8KS
459Please respect copyright.PENANApoQbuS4OAm
「有沒有人告訴你,我最信賴的武器不是劍也不是槍?」459Please respect copyright.PENANA0Raj4DRGDo
他的長劍距離我的胸口尚有一點點距離,但他持劍的手已經停下。459Please respect copyright.PENANAWtIPF3GW6j
因為我的小刀已經貼上了他的脖子,只要稍一用力,在他能刺出長劍之前就會被殺。459Please respect copyright.PENANAVdwoBvbx2a
459Please respect copyright.PENANAgq3kHZUWWq
「你早猜到了我的護手是活動式的?」459Please respect copyright.PENANAktYhQdmg3s
「不。不過我還不會因為你不用上臂擋劍,就以為那邊沒防護。459Please respect copyright.PENANAEfx9AvsM5u
至於剛才是我主動拋劍給你的。這距離用長劍還不如用短刀,你想要就拿去。」459Please respect copyright.PENANAKa33Fniekd
「……好吧,投降,投降。」459Please respect copyright.PENANAFl6t6LChy4
他乾脆地拋下了鎗劍。459Please respect copyright.PENANArL4VsrdQYR
459Please respect copyright.PENANAQltX5Yq6d3
我邊監視著奧契多,邊用腳挑起長劍,反手握住劍柄。459Please respect copyright.PENANALXWHq1S5w5
他舉高雙手站定不動,似乎完全不打算反抗的樣子。459Please respect copyright.PENANA57973Z3vhB
459Please respect copyright.PENANA85ddFsOGD8
「……跟我回去飯店。」459Please respect copyright.PENANAZZM7LWFVT2
「讓我確認一下。你們沒打算要我的命吧?」459Please respect copyright.PENANAs1QvtUrTa5
「只要你聽話的話。」459Please respect copyright.PENANAdZV8JfoRzO
我雙眼盯緊他的手腳,雙手掏出繩索鎖住他的雙手。459Please respect copyright.PENANAVp33aUV7Fc
459Please respect copyright.PENANAy3EdMTtJyk
「……我袖子裡還有把短刀,打算在你想殺人時彈出來拚命的。你不嫌棄就拿去吧。」459Please respect copyright.PENANANEK7p04MLC
「……你袖子裡塞那麼多東西不嫌重嗎?」459Please respect copyright.PENANAVgnoTNyJQz
「想要命就不能嫌重。」459Please respect copyright.PENANA7C0RvCtXPS
459Please respect copyright.PENANAXslUbaAKdk
我翻出他藏著的短刀,不過沒有收起而是直接塞進他腰包。459Please respect copyright.PENANAv0Mk62c88A
459Please respect copyright.PENANAdn3KvWcpn2
「說實話,你要是敢拚命,說不定能跟我拚個同歸於盡。」459Please respect copyright.PENANA8l1wxkSpxr
「拚掉你的命能得多少錢?」459Please respect copyright.PENANAND5b0qjwqP
……對了,我忘記了他是個傭兵。459Please respect copyright.PENANAS3MVYexMji
459Please respect copyright.PENANAQzZcR03Y99
「我的命一文不值。」459Please respect copyright.PENANA9oHZ5ucBdz
「那還是給你帶回去的好。小子,我不殺我而是活捉我,也就是我有利用價值吧?說不定跟你回去還能多賺一筆呢。」459Please respect copyright.PENANAWrQ76aQTgK
「……你還打算在帝國手裡撈錢嗎?」459Please respect copyright.PENANA8fKOqpsGOz
「廢話。不是說了芬納家還沒付我的酬勞嗎?不肯付,我就賣了他們換錢。我可是很心安理得的。」459Please respect copyright.PENANAxGUX4o51gK
459Please respect copyright.PENANAuG543XacS0
……傭兵真是不得了的職業啊。459Please respect copyright.PENANAeUxDplXKRD
「順帶一提,小子,跟你的雇主說,只要錢夠了我就會辦事。只收現金,除此之外別無它法。嚴刑拷問也好,威脅軟求也好,別想我溜出什麼有用的東西。」459Please respect copyright.PENANA1JakenxoXy
「……我沒有雇主。你還是自己親口說吧。」459Please respect copyright.PENANAEAZUHNfzfk
459Please respect copyright.PENANAlLf1DS5pG3
他臉上表情變了一變。459Please respect copyright.PENANAyITwRLmZ2z
「沒有雇主?你不是傭兵,也不是王國僱員?」459Please respect copyright.PENANAov0QZPRpeu
「都不是。」459Please respect copyright.PENANAInd3hS7P6i
「跟芬納家有仇怨嗎?」459Please respect copyright.PENANADT2eC44B6b
「說不上有。」459Please respect copyright.PENANAOlWJf0e3Gg
459Please respect copyright.PENANAURD8q3JLNT
奧契多像是看到鬼似的瞪大眼睛。459Please respect copyright.PENANAnFMGttLj8r
「那你為何跟我拚命?」459Please respect copyright.PENANAe5QKrxcLoN
「……說不上來。」459Please respect copyright.PENANA8JMukCe25O
459Please respect copyright.PENANA3shN95g7jE
老實說,我幫助王國一方是因為艾薇亞。459Please respect copyright.PENANAGRU63VRink
但艾薇亞一沒有要求我幫忙,二就算我不冒險追擊,也沒人會怪我。459Please respect copyright.PENANAH3lLCR6pci
459Please respect copyright.PENANAVdGTIhhzlg
「難怪我打不過你,你這瘋子。」459Please respect copyright.PENANAFu7zj3Cc9j
「你比較瘋,為了錢什麼都能幹。」459Please respect copyright.PENANAkZrRPxeD4Z
「我好歹是為了錢,你呢?什麼都不在乎?」459Please respect copyright.PENANAZBNLRj3m60
「……還是有東西在乎的。你就當是為了在女人面前有面子好了。」459Please respect copyright.PENANAS9oZD6V6Hu
459Please respect copyright.PENANAuVCheD8lMj
但那不是艾薇亞。她本來就不介意這種事。459Please respect copyright.PENANAEVHYczImCK
奧契多聽到了之後像是完全釋疑了,伸手拍拍我的肩膀,說著I know that feel。459Please respect copyright.PENANAP0GF52dXcs
459Please respect copyright.PENANAgMMJZSqYIt

459Please respect copyright.PENANAGhG5m7TeY2
蕾蒂雅跟奧契多在房裡談了好一會才出來。459Please respect copyright.PENANAiSESc2U05R
他出來的時候已經解了繩結,一臉輕鬆的樣子。459Please respect copyright.PENANAlTBCxYUpmm
459Please respect copyright.PENANARCJo6ikTLM
「她要你幹什麼了?」459Please respect copyright.PENANA4nLNHsptJG
我忍不住好奇問道。459Please respect copyright.PENANA7zAckJFQIx
「原來只是要回去演戲,把芬納家的人引到這兒來讓你們一網打盡。459Please respect copyright.PENANABOgu5RwMC5
我還以為是什麼刀山火海的苦工呢,原來只不過是出賣僱主。」459Please respect copyright.PENANAtNXGBlLzmV
459Please respect copyright.PENANAK2IfuOfpRU
「……那,報酬呢?」459Please respect copyright.PENANAAX12jV2hBV
「我就隨便提了原價兩倍的酬傭,那女孩一口就答應了。王國什麼的果然財大氣粗啊。話說小子,我打算回到芬納家那邊之後,先向他們要本月酬金。」459Please respect copyright.PENANA32NWrVRdjU
他很自然地跟我攀談起來。459Please respect copyright.PENANATlVZTugfJy
只要不跟他牽涉什麼財帛糾葛,當當朋友大概也沒問題吧。459Please respect copyright.PENANA3xZxBmrvjv
459Please respect copyright.PENANAwuuI3A0Yqw
「好詐啊。出賣別人前還要再敲一筆……別人不給怎麼辦?」459Please respect copyright.PENANAI7P6xLf5zM
「那我出賣他們就更心安理得。」459Please respect copyright.PENANA4G3LwCYo7T
「那他們給了呢?」459Please respect copyright.PENANAKauihbdhlp
「你放心,那我也不會良心不安的。」459Please respect copyright.PENANAXrYCodsNVu
459Please respect copyright.PENANAgihscl4Iem
他陽光的笑容讓我出了一身冷汗。459Please respect copyright.PENANAnPDwmbv9Jw
「……那不妨礙你賺錢了。」459Please respect copyright.PENANAyMpjn960yM
「喂小子,日後要不要也當傭兵啊?我脫離芬納家之後就很缺跟班了。」459Please respect copyright.PENANAZ8u4U5ICoy
「當你的同伴不知道哪天就會被賣,所以免了。」459Please respect copyright.PENANAisbNlgddtj
「哈,你還是那麼看得起自己。只不過是提鞋沖水的跟班,還想攀上老子的同伴?」459Please respect copyright.PENANAwBlt6htYae
459Please respect copyright.PENANATtNR6xBfJU
他爽朗地笑著離開。459Please respect copyright.PENANA0eLsoY5yFC
撤回前言,還是不要跟他做朋友比較好。459Please respect copyright.PENANAos3T8hy7Kw
459Please respect copyright.PENANAFXlMDrRPx6
「小絮君,你說服他幫忙了嗎?」459Please respect copyright.PENANAReCNtVNOIq
回過頭來,眼前是伊琳諾的綠髮。459Please respect copyright.PENANAI0WCjDRY5H
因為她比較矮小的關係我得低頭看她。459Please respect copyright.PENANApm8QXOyTce
459Please respect copyright.PENANAfRCEvoUpY4
「是啊。只要提醒下利益關係,這人就知道該跟誰合作了。」459Please respect copyright.PENANA26YC3hTY8U
「你口才原來也不錯嘛。」459Please respect copyright.PENANAHos7A4fmCX
459Please respect copyright.PENANARux0RV4Bvw
「嗯哼……說謊,你剛打過架。」459Please respect copyright.PENANAO6fPCvCL7J
艾薇亞忽然也冒出來了。459Please respect copyright.PENANAuyY4Z1uUW2
她作勢在我身上嗅著。459Please respect copyright.PENANAD8zihxr9QL
459Please respect copyright.PENANAHS79xDOLIi
「你的手槍開過火。衣服的焦痕是你的黑焰造成的。雖然沒有傷痕,但身上也有一兩處擦傷的地方。」459Please respect copyright.PENANALMDamccrdh
這女孩別的不太懂,戰鬥方面倒是很敏感。459Please respect copyright.PENANAFLmpCCgmzy
「……幹嘛要說謊啊,小絮君。」459Please respect copyright.PENANAFkF4krsUpn
459Please respect copyright.PENANAWM2jLtQKzX
大概是不想別人擔心吧。459Please respect copyright.PENANAVjpNoxkgis
不過有人會擔心嗎?我還是不要想好了。459Please respect copyright.PENANA00PUfrzYkV
459Please respect copyright.PENANAzCtaFTmynO
「我沒說謊啊。說服人不一定要靠口才,武器也能代替說話的。」459Please respect copyright.PENANANHcQrgw3HH
我笑著辯解。459Please respect copyright.PENANAurSw568dwZ
不過似乎不被兩人所接受,兩名女性都皺著眉看我。459Please respect copyright.PENANAclo2Y8x2gv
459Please respect copyright.PENANAsltYGOufjh
「艾薇亞還有一星期就要參與授勳典禮了。你受傷來不了怎麼辦啊?」459Please respect copyright.PENANAlM2atXWeBG
「不用擔心,就算我死了她也會把我的屍體拖來的。她難得有機會在我面前神氣一次。」459Please respect copyright.PENANAdcWMOdq3cO
「……小絮,我在猜你在想什麼,我能說出來嗎?」459Please respect copyright.PENANAgRY1VSlc1x
艾薇亞面帶擔心地問道。459Please respect copyright.PENANAaFIpo2PHYk
459Please respect copyright.PENANA5hXl9SmVD2
「不用猜了,我來告訴妳。當時情勢只有我一人才能追上。要是抓不住他,作戰就算失敗了啊。」459Please respect copyright.PENANAu5chg61nDG
「小絮,作戰失敗了對你有影響嗎?」459Please respect copyright.PENANAYXK2joNpp0
「……」459Please respect copyright.PENANASWIPacdLl7
她應該想問跟奧契多一樣的問題。459Please respect copyright.PENANATFTbbPUBaD
459Please respect copyright.PENANAqR3u9bjQ5g
「我會被蕾蒂雅罵……應該吧。」459Please respect copyright.PENANAQrq34DxNuA
「小絮君,我也大概猜到了……典禮在即,你想為艾薇亞多添一份功勞?不……還是因為艾薇亞討厭芬納家各種各樣的行為,所以才……?」459Please respect copyright.PENANAbql5BkqLKu
「我不是這樣想……伊琳諾不開心,其中一個起因是芬納家釋放魔物,所以你想為她出氣?」459Please respect copyright.PENANAJ39uMMUxSe
459Please respect copyright.PENANAUhjgWtfy3X
兩人都猜測我是為了另一人出頭。459Please respect copyright.PENANAj3TEJrmUyi
在我看來,兩者都佔一部分吧。459Please respect copyright.PENANANNwu7KIm9e
459Please respect copyright.PENANAsjtRAygHPl
「我不能看他不爽所以才追他嗎?」459Please respect copyright.PENANAbsrLk0SCfR
「你真的看他不爽就不會跟他閒聊了。」459Please respect copyright.PENANAOamt2wwT6y
伊琳諾迅捷地揭破了我。459Please respect copyright.PENANAQc6i7HmGKD
459Please respect copyright.PENANAJzXunrithY
「好吧,妳們都猜對了一些……」459Please respect copyright.PENANAE7Yufs6VBb
「不准再這樣!」459Please respect copyright.PENANA4277jDTMa0
沒等我說完,艾薇亞就對我喝道。459Please respect copyright.PENANAAsgVV75dSU
459Please respect copyright.PENANA0O3s2PlsQB
「沒錯。為了一些錦上添花的事冒險不值得。」459Please respect copyright.PENANAE7EQtkO0kM
伊琳諾也在幫嘴。459Please respect copyright.PENANAXNMt48ZP8r
459Please respect copyright.PENANAwbrNhT01Ki
大概我是認為,自己的命比這點錦上添花的事更不值錢吧。459Please respect copyright.PENANAU81wNO30lt
因為別人的一句話,甚至都不用請求,我就去為此拚命。459Please respect copyright.PENANAC12gWpa0cO
甚至都沒去打算討別人的歡心。459Please respect copyright.PENANAID53GRmUgM
說不定真如那個傭兵所說,我是瘋子。459Please respect copyright.PENANAdNgTbdtQ5z
明明我覺得自己大部分時候還是比較正常的。459Please respect copyright.PENANAOvDa14IsLA
