2161年1月15日,早上七點,仙境大樓,四層497Please respect copyright.PENANAicNhq6bXtU
497Please respect copyright.PENANAYhVg0MusCC
497Please respect copyright.PENANAb5eXcGFBSE
神與畜第十五幹部──安琪.懷特,小名檸檬,今年四歲,睜開了她的琉璃色雙眼。497Please respect copyright.PENANATyxsxltnzg
497Please respect copyright.PENANAr6ew0CAxgt
打從會說話起,檸檬就是自己一間房,甚至,自己一層樓。乖巧的她從床上爬起,幫貓咪娃娃蓋好被子後,走去浴室。497Please respect copyright.PENANAzd8rCDaW48
497Please respect copyright.PENANASboITCgAuV
她盯著鏡子中的自己,拆下額頭、手臂、膝蓋上的繃帶,大大小小的傷口怵目驚心,難以想像一個四歲的孩子會有這種傷,但就像沒有痛覺般,檸檬給傷口重新上藥、纏上新的繃帶。497Please respect copyright.PENANARlndi9Nzl3
497Please respect copyright.PENANAMDV3SYwyK1
不用大人幫忙就能打理自己。梳洗完畢,檸檬離開房間,一抵達三樓,就看到她的姑姑──神與畜第二幹部──葛蕾絲.懷特在做早餐。497Please respect copyright.PENANA9ZPKCcrbcO
497Please respect copyright.PENANAGzrGviFW48
497Please respect copyright.PENANARzqEqNaeZP
「早安,檸檬!」497Please respect copyright.PENANAKkPkwGVLfN
497Please respect copyright.PENANA6ceENkshwm
497Please respect copyright.PENANAFi6kuG8ZJR
葛蕾絲熱情地和她打招呼,檸檬也禮貌回應:「早安。」497Please respect copyright.PENANAejlF5bNQPP
497Please respect copyright.PENANAVZZHjdMHWj
「牛奶在桌上,我幫妳倒好了。」497Please respect copyright.PENANAKUVenHJxeC
497Please respect copyright.PENANA3lAm4skEcd
「謝謝。」497Please respect copyright.PENANAly0yRZX3pf
497Please respect copyright.PENANACv58SkvAmc
「親愛的,有想吃什麼嗎?」497Please respect copyright.PENANAQoKOmjWgUO
497Please respect copyright.PENANAuSH7Yt23fK
「謝謝,我自己來就好。」497Please respect copyright.PENANAg0Ee81S5SP
497Please respect copyright.PENANAxIGIWWSu0o
說完,檸檬踩上專屬的凳子,自己烤麵包,把草莓果醬抹在兩片吐司上。497Please respect copyright.PENANAiyhPFuI8Nt
497Please respect copyright.PENANAquZmf2m0th
葛蕾絲摸摸她的頭。以上這些動作,都沒有人教過檸檬。這孩子的學習力十分驚人,很多東西都是一看就會。497Please respect copyright.PENANAuaOBWe0uLd
497Please respect copyright.PENANAi723ZQnrJU
「爸比今天回來嗎?」497Please respect copyright.PENANAOGcu2PhGV0
497Please respect copyright.PENANA7dUt6Phfo9
「嗯,沒意外是今天。」葛蕾絲告訴檸檬:「但時間很晚,估計妳已經睡了。」497Please respect copyright.PENANARFyNCVqCiI
497Please respect copyright.PENANAuo0RWkfsWK
「……嗯。」497Please respect copyright.PENANApU3E0a26g9
497Please respect copyright.PENANAC6oGJWOyns
話題結束,檸檬安靜地吃早餐。葛蕾絲在內心讚嘆遺傳學的強大,檸檬的個性和里奧簡直如出一轍,尤其面無表情的部分,根本一模一樣。497Please respect copyright.PENANAKqmn77ztu6
497Please respect copyright.PENANAAI7VROehmq
497Please respect copyright.PENANAI2d7pETtLO
「早安,葛蕾絲姊。」497Please respect copyright.PENANAMebtb4fC4s
497Please respect copyright.PENANANrc37lQ56x
497Please respect copyright.PENANAuS4sqT5ogn
另一個人也來到三樓。一看到對方,沒有表情的檸檬睜大她琉璃色的眼睛,呼喚:「大貓咪。」497Please respect copyright.PENANAvnwT9LKJaP
497Please respect copyright.PENANAlxMImWbJlD
「早安,檸檬。」497Please respect copyright.PENANAn1igOsZYYW
497Please respect copyright.PENANAJxhy3gXaIu
神與畜第七幹部──江云格摸摸她的頭,溫柔一笑。他已經不是那隻畏首畏尾的貓,四年過去,江云格舉手投足都和一般人類無異,也是檸檬的頭號保姆──被她稱作大貓咪。497Please respect copyright.PENANAf4roFPHcz8
497Please respect copyright.PENANA4nsiuSdMVM
「云格,今天也是老樣子嗎?」葛蕾絲問。497Please respect copyright.PENANADxTSZlJTni
497Please respect copyright.PENANArfwQh2g4ML
「是的,麻煩妳。」497Please respect copyright.PENANAETBei2GCl8
497Please respect copyright.PENANA1bADXWPhki
「小事,鮪魚沙拉我閉著眼睛都會做。」497Please respect copyright.PENANAiHS6Q1iGRb
497Please respect copyright.PENANAq4MPn8ltNX
江云格喜歡魚,至於檸檬,她的喜好很麻煩──她喜歡甜食,甜到發膩的最好,有時會在白開水裡偷加糖。神與畜的大家不允許她吃太多甜食,尤其是尼可拉斯,被抓到就死定了。497Please respect copyright.PENANAyOIvIWIS9K
497Please respect copyright.PENANA0HTfugt4cu
「檸檬,今天也去訓練嗎?」江云格問。497Please respect copyright.PENANAX1CbaG5mln
497Please respect copyright.PENANAj5JfL5X1sN
「我能不去嗎?」檸檬反問。497Please respect copyright.PENANAsJA95jTxsy
497Please respect copyright.PENANA4zd560Ebm1
「我想,尼可不會允許。」意識到自己問了廢話,江云格改口:「傷還好嗎?」497Please respect copyright.PENANAcRW6m71E3r
497Please respect copyright.PENANA3cc9pYchAV
「還沒好。」檸檬摸著額頭上的繃帶,「我痛習慣了,沒關係。」497Please respect copyright.PENANA87FAmOe1Oe
497Please respect copyright.PENANASn7OMzYtow
有點心酸。江云格私心不希望檸檬去訓練場,因為尼可拉斯──檸檬那可怕的醫生哥哥──為了訓練檸檬,下手毫不留情。也多虧尼可拉斯,檸檬的身體機能突破小孩的極限,已經能上場殺敵。497Please respect copyright.PENANAx5r32MoLve
497Please respect copyright.PENANA5Ly65WOqal
「我吃飽了。」497Please respect copyright.PENANAx0u0zU5K3b
497Please respect copyright.PENANAniXeCsvAMN
早餐結束,檸檬自己收拾餐具,準備前往一樓,「姑姑、大貓咪,待會見。」497Please respect copyright.PENANAYZIeEus7bn
497Please respect copyright.PENANA6POP05Rw8x
不帶猶豫,檸檬來到一樓的健身房,看到神與畜第八幹部──謝綠,及第三幹部──李博洋在裡面。謝綠是健身房的常客,每天六點準時報到,正在做滑輪下拉。檸檬始終不明白,謝綠那雙細細的手腳,怎麼能舉起這麼重的東西?497Please respect copyright.PENANAQfHWRysBv8
497Please respect copyright.PENANAXYrCyQw7cF
497Please respect copyright.PENANAeNYUmisbqv
「早安,檸檬!」497Please respect copyright.PENANAKDjKSJGu6r
497Please respect copyright.PENANA1cxRuBXOk6
497Please respect copyright.PENANAN5F2nDennG
謝綠停下手邊動作,衝著檸檬燦爛一笑。她已經不是那個閉俗的謝氏閨女,四年過去,她卸下古裝、胭脂、髮簪,一身休閒的運動裝與清爽馬尾,如今也是名優秀的神與畜。497Please respect copyright.PENANABzasL7GitI
497Please respect copyright.PENANAqgpwOKG7eu
「格格起床了嗎?」每次見到檸檬,謝綠第一句都問這個。497Please respect copyright.PENANAc9jviaS5ZM
497Please respect copyright.PENANAytR8WVfIfB
「起來了。」檸檬回答:「在吃飯。」497Please respect copyright.PENANAquloy2uFij
497Please respect copyright.PENANAOg0LYICiUI
「一定又是鮪魚沙拉,就叫他換口味了。」497Please respect copyright.PENANAtQGTcdiV4b
497Please respect copyright.PENANAtwHl5glgoF
謝綠碎念著。檸檬的目光移向跑步機上的李博洋,「博洋早安。」497Please respect copyright.PENANAqtjWEntE8W
497Please respect copyright.PENANASfo9aQbyid
497Please respect copyright.PENANAG7TcLJAmET
「早安,等我一下喔。」497Please respect copyright.PENANAVlpWdrppdM
497Please respect copyright.PENANA9LnU5tGf17
497Please respect copyright.PENANAZ6AD1HkxzS
李博洋從跑步機上下來,用毛巾擦掉身上的汗。他今年二十一,四年過去,不知不覺也成年,外表沒太大變化,個性卻沉穩許多,每天督促自己進健身房、和謝綠一同訓練,希望各方面都能提升。497Please respect copyright.PENANAADkluf6nnZ
497Please respect copyright.PENANA0ohIoYGh7W
「尼可已經在等妳了。」李博洋問檸檬:「準備好了嗎?」497Please respect copyright.PENANA0mQwQO8N2P
497Please respect copyright.PENANAbruZgdJSIW
檸檬點頭。497Please respect copyright.PENANAiw84IAvlZk
497Please respect copyright.PENANAiCtJEd3LEl
「祝好運,檸檬。」謝綠表示:「先以不增加新傷口為目標吧。」497Please respect copyright.PENANAJFkW20IW15
497Please respect copyright.PENANAgrL2EIbJDw
檸檬點頭,下一秒,李博洋將她送進白色空間,所謂的訓練場就是這裡。497Please respect copyright.PENANAtxncgQgfEk
497Please respect copyright.PENANAMivK5Unucd
披著醫師袍的尼可拉斯.克里斯托多羅普洛斯──神與畜第十幹部,在白色空間裡抽菸。和李博洋同年的尼可拉斯也已經成年,相較於沒改變的李博洋,尼可拉斯的臉頰線條變得俐落許多,沒有了青少年的稚氣。因為銀白色的頭髮一邊剃短,一邊長瀏海,加上一堆耳環、唇環、眉環,看起來真的就像……披著醫師袍的流氓。497Please respect copyright.PENANAw9laXWjWbi
497Please respect copyright.PENANAj7MBuqd5q5
497Please respect copyright.PENANAEUaJMqQETZ
「妳今天想練什麼?」497Please respect copyright.PENANAmUQRsGT203
497Please respect copyright.PENANA1n1ft57eAv
497Please respect copyright.PENANAQ3EinshCdd
尼可拉斯吐了口菸,邊說:「老子今天心情好,給妳自己選。」497Please respect copyright.PENANA86l2lEM6Te
497Please respect copyright.PENANA446ABRcSLb
從對方的表情,檸檬完全無法理解「心情好」在哪裡。從她最早的記憶,哥哥都是這副兇樣。497Please respect copyright.PENANA8iG4dHyaje
497Please respect copyright.PENANA77ecOpaxjM
「閃躲。」檸檬自己說。497Please respect copyright.PENANAGSgMPkUwnx
497Please respect copyright.PENANAGJDM9vKKub
「閃躲?哈!」尼可拉斯猖狂一笑,「妳瘋了,上次閃躲訓練妳差點死掉,忘了嗎?」497Please respect copyright.PENANAvqtk18gcMO
497Please respect copyright.PENANA6LrD91eT4P
「『不擅長的東西更要練習』。」檸檬表示:「你自己說的。」497Please respect copyright.PENANAv7Ic0smqFh
497Please respect copyright.PENANAzhHSg3NhQ1
「好,很好。」497Please respect copyright.PENANA6tRBFdXbTp
497Please respect copyright.PENANANU5mwBmfQL
尼可拉斯把菸扔到地上,下一秒,他瞪大橘色的眼睛、露出蛇一般的虎牙,白色空間剎那被上千條橘色的封鎖線圍繞,白色的字寫著「March Hare」。497Please respect copyright.PENANAKTft3uXBeO
497Please respect copyright.PENANATMoHiXxBmt
「……!」497Please respect copyright.PENANAlGYCM2lxvk
497Please respect copyright.PENANAuJyUq6UbZM
剎那,一條金屬製的鐵軌出現在檸檬腳下,她立刻反應過來、往左一跳,一列橘色的火車從檸檬一旁,沿著鐵道飆飛而出;還沒落地,又一條鐵軌出現在她背後,另一台火車以傾斜的角度衝出來,檸檬及時閃避。497Please respect copyright.PENANA5vtokAKOuY
497Please respect copyright.PENANAnn8zXihGAT
「再來!」497Please respect copyright.PENANA851gzB5jta
497Please respect copyright.PENANAjUt3ayddWE
尼可拉斯大喊,第一台火車以非常不科學的離心力,轉向檸檬所在的位置。檸檬雙腳一瞪、跳到空中,但來不及──第三條鐵軌出現,又一台火車憑空出現在檸檬左方。身在空中的她來不及反應,人當場被撞飛出去。497Please respect copyright.PENANA85ElvLw6Ev
497Please respect copyright.PENANAm1V8RjXSVv
「……!」497Please respect copyright.PENANAI5r8WlguOG
497Please respect copyright.PENANAl0UwObLffS
一灘血濺到地上。檸檬趴倒在地,想起身,尼可拉斯卻一腳踩到她背上,害她的下巴又撞到地板。497Please respect copyright.PENANAgRBUgELvzu
497Please respect copyright.PENANAEOTflXC5GV
「爛死了!才過幾秒鐘!」497Please respect copyright.PENANAoDGNKzV27g
497Please respect copyright.PENANAmkB8lgKywO
尼可拉斯沒在手軟。他狠狠踹了檸檬兩下,「遇到真正的敵人怎麼辦?打算這樣等死!?」497Please respect copyright.PENANAlusWKyPokG
497Please respect copyright.PENANAoxXrDTJsBM
「……!」497Please respect copyright.PENANA9vrKVFDUGk
497Please respect copyright.PENANAVpQCEvAc95
手上的指甲彈出長針,檸檬向上一揮、攻擊尼可拉斯的小腿。雖然被閃掉,但尼可拉斯因此遠離自己,讓檸檬能站起來──額頭的傷口已經裂開──她擦掉臉上的血,琉璃色的眼睛瞪著尼可拉斯。497Please respect copyright.PENANARb82SZbwvK
497Please respect copyright.PENANAhALaxqzcYz
「怎麼?恨我嗎?」497Please respect copyright.PENANA0fF8WXkbBy
497Please respect copyright.PENANARJDuXYEaGK
尼可拉斯囂張一笑,同時,他想起被自己害死的賴雪檸。497Please respect copyright.PENANAruqIEM6tFy
497Please respect copyright.PENANAINml3oQisH
「我這哥哥,生來就是讓妳討厭的!」497Please respect copyright.PENANAUiNVhdxrY0
497Please respect copyright.PENANAzbeDjopcbo
他讓這孩子沒有母親,他沒有資格被檸檬喜歡。497Please respect copyright.PENANAEVQK83CVfh
497Please respect copyright.PENANAel8CNAdPyL
497Please respect copyright.PENANApwTxlN7HsG
「有本事,就靠自己的力量活下來!」497Please respect copyright.PENANATXOtakJyd8

497Please respect copyright.PENANAgniWltT7SE
497Please respect copyright.PENANABnvGE0BDr9

醫務室裡,神與畜第九幹部──派翠克.雷蒙在幫檸檬療傷。雖然很慘,但派翠克發現檸檬全是外傷,骨頭一根都沒斷,內臟也沒受損,真不知道怎麼打的。497Please respect copyright.PENANAir7BZMnZay
497Please respect copyright.PENANABSdtwXB5i1
「我幫妳消毒,有點痛,忍耐一下。」497Please respect copyright.PENANAK9yBZIM17v
497Please respect copyright.PENANAQdyIhcARAP
派翠克細心地幫檸檬處理傷口。別說喊疼,檸檬一點表情變化都沒有,這讓派翠克不禁納悶:尼可拉斯怎麼忍心把一個四歲小孩,磨練到連受傷都不會哭的程度?對象還是自己的妹妹。497Please respect copyright.PENANAkdWlQCzNrN
497Please respect copyright.PENANA6GSCZJ03D4
因為外表是白絃賦予的,時光沒有在派翠克身上留下痕跡,也能明顯看出,他已經習慣神與畜的生活,醫療的知識技術大幅精進,能幫尼可拉斯處理很多病患。497Please respect copyright.PENANACNyJOjNxk4
497Please respect copyright.PENANAMo5Rv8rrTI
也是他們交往的第四年。497Please respect copyright.PENANARac5iw4iH9
497Please respect copyright.PENANAaNySi6fmcF
「……派翠克。」497Please respect copyright.PENANAHq6L9ppep4
497Please respect copyright.PENANAgJsrcteIiE
檸檬突然叫他的名字。派翠克回應:「嗯?」497Please respect copyright.PENANAz7wgg3QlXR
497Please respect copyright.PENANA52wxp3YoNu
「你為什麼會跟他在一起?」檸檬咕噥:「明明是那麼討厭的人……」497Please respect copyright.PENANAQfm2EgPBJ9
497Please respect copyright.PENANAkpAsAJI30p
還以為是什麼嚴肅話題。派翠克笑了笑,回答:「因為我喜歡和他待在一起,而且,他對我很溫柔。」497Please respect copyright.PENANAnFzqlJRaKF
497Please respect copyright.PENANAikEVjS3JeF
「溫柔?」檸檬以為自己聽錯。497Please respect copyright.PENANAosrCtlXYn0
497Please respect copyright.PENANAOCkSI9WoqH
「嗯,他是故意對妳苛刻,其實他很溫柔。」派翠克回憶:「四年前,我們第一次見面時,他也像這樣幫我包紮傷口,我印象很深刻。」497Please respect copyright.PENANAFDZATZJLOV
497Please respect copyright.PENANAOtRLmij9M1
「四年……我出生的那一年?」497Please respect copyright.PENANAxjnh5pWkLw
497Please respect copyright.PENANAu2ZyUQAVob
派翠克點頭,「不只尼可,這四年,大家都變了很多。」497Please respect copyright.PENANAwwlMCKjyGH
497Please respect copyright.PENANAULCEdlhMUN
「怎麼說?」497Please respect copyright.PENANAtIfJsmnlZE
497Please respect copyright.PENANA3Z8Q8YrVWa
「以前,博洋比較優柔寡斷、晴煬比較戰戰兢兢、MIO比較心不在焉、謝綠和江云格比較安靜、尼可的脾氣比較好……」派翠克說:「現在,大家都習慣神與畜的生活,加上水果塔覺醒,個性都越來越鮮明了。」497Please respect copyright.PENANAf7IyVAUO9J
497Please respect copyright.PENANA4vRbcmxZQq
「很難想像。」檸檬說:「我以為,是因為你們夠強,才能任性。」497Please respect copyright.PENANAAkVBABQ3GR
497Please respect copyright.PENANAYAJerWSzd7
「這也是原因。」派翠克微笑,「大家都經歷過『弱』的階段,只是檸檬沒有看到。」497Please respect copyright.PENANAnktfaMyEm4
497Please respect copyright.PENANAmptzf1X06c
「……。」497Please respect copyright.PENANAQs9hbWqwUL
497Please respect copyright.PENANA3Hm1uFgxV2
「慢慢來,沒關係。」派翠克摸摸檸檬的頭,「雖然很辛苦,但妳的起步比我們都早,只要每一步扎實地走,遲早會變強的。」497Please respect copyright.PENANAW656MKs5SA
497Please respect copyright.PENANA2tEDrvFZKF
「嗯。」497Please respect copyright.PENANA0T3ceob589
497Please respect copyright.PENANACPseAKa87W
「我幫妳抹了防水藥膏。」派翠克問:「妳等等要去洗澡嗎?」497Please respect copyright.PENANA1YcBjTFzJ0
497Please respect copyright.PENANABWg7JTwAhe
「我想先探望那傢伙,他還好嗎?」497Please respect copyright.PENANAGF67OFn1g8
497Please respect copyright.PENANAOxI3tGkaVr
「剛吃完藥,睡著了。」497Please respect copyright.PENANABh2x0jIRi8
497Please respect copyright.PENANA1WFjfDoj80
走去裡面的病房,一名亞麻色頭髮、臉上有雀斑的少年正在睡覺。他是尼可拉斯前陣子撿回來的十二歲少年,本名羅俊,因為不願意將A型機器人的技術交給Platinum而被迫害,最後選擇自殺。497Please respect copyright.PENANAwAimr5TRlq
497Please respect copyright.PENANApoBpy4QHvk
「他會加入我們嗎?」檸檬問派翠克。497Please respect copyright.PENANAIIiten6vGE
497Please respect copyright.PENANA1Lk8QmUMJy
「宇維少爺還在考慮。」派翠克說:「他不是水果塔後裔,但我們在他的血液中發現蜘蛛糖,這樣的人不能讓他在外亂跑。」497Please respect copyright.PENANAKoRc5yRwPd
497Please respect copyright.PENANAaFQhR2DSZE
檸檬看著少年身上的棉被,很明顯,下半身沒有東西,他的雙腳不見了。497Please respect copyright.PENANAMGrlGg8adk
497Please respect copyright.PENANAHOKufzRTQJ
「他的腳怎麼辦?」檸檬問:「只能坐輪椅?」497Please respect copyright.PENANAsYrBTUpUbc
497Please respect copyright.PENANA1qOnHit7h2
「等完全康復,他會做一雙機械腳給自己。」派翠克聳肩,「拭目以待。」497Please respect copyright.PENANAjRNj4Vvxn1
497Please respect copyright.PENANAwzhUKh2Q38
既然羅俊在睡,檸檬就不打擾他、和派翠克道別,人前往一樓的澡堂。派翠克給她抹的防水藥膏來自希波克拉底一脈,即使帶傷,抹藥後也可以泡澡。當檸檬走進大浴場時,看見神與畜第四幹部──MIO,正單獨泡在自己的木製澡盆裡。497Please respect copyright.PENANA3Il8sJgy2p
497Please respect copyright.PENANAFmAXPxcqMm
497Please respect copyright.PENANAHtpDANozwM
「哇!是檸檬耶!」497Please respect copyright.PENANA9s9TX8ObN0
497Please respect copyright.PENANATsvkn86ekC
497Please respect copyright.PENANAkpnfKkEUeM
看見同樣(?)是小孩子的夥伴,MIO非常開心。她的澡盆在冒煙,水溫能把青蛙煮熟。497Please respect copyright.PENANAlN72JJqxCv
497Please respect copyright.PENANAbCtTWtoFmK
「妳今天也被尼可打嗎?」MIO拋出很不友善的問句,不帶惡意。497Please respect copyright.PENANAxN26ccZrbL
497Please respect copyright.PENANA6LEPUidtBR
「嗯。」497Please respect copyright.PENANAFLD3zGE1qm
497Please respect copyright.PENANAnOPIhDh4Jk
「看起來好痛喔,不要緊嗎?」497Please respect copyright.PENANADcnRhKiHmU
497Please respect copyright.PENANALTmWteMkjo
「沒關係,我習慣了。」497Please respect copyright.PENANAeDYasjHVWS
497Please respect copyright.PENANA3yPshTaTjd
清洗完自己的身子,檸檬走入浴池,讓身體泡到浴池中,舒服的水溫讓身心放鬆不少,她如釋重負般地吐了口氣。497Please respect copyright.PENANAxwapuFuc3K
497Please respect copyright.PENANArS8mOPmylt
「MIO。」檸檬突然叫她。497Please respect copyright.PENANAiIxDgEmWx6

「嗯?」497Please respect copyright.PENANANbwoOQx1up
497Please respect copyright.PENANAXpLBSKOrfU

497Please respect copyright.PENANArjTitQeLU0
「才沒有!MIO一直都很厲害!」MIO停頓,「唔,也是有沒那麼厲害的時候啦!因為記憶沒恢復。」497Please respect copyright.PENANAXDxwNb9uNj
497Please respect copyright.PENANA42YxgQgmfQ
「記憶?」497Please respect copyright.PENANAoVAGIwradD
497Please respect copyright.PENANAfjyO2Qh3rJ
「MIO曾經想不起媽媽的事,現在不會了!」MIO燦爛一笑,露出可愛的牙齒,「MIO現在,可以在夢裡見到媽媽喔!博洋也會在,我覺得很幸福!」497Please respect copyright.PENANA4flnFJU1gR
497Please respect copyright.PENANA3aQWqo07z4
「夢……」497Please respect copyright.PENANAtlsfdbAFyD
497Please respect copyright.PENANAQDsbvkzThR
尼可拉斯曾解釋水果塔給她聽。身為懷特,檸檬至今都無法和第一代水果塔「白兔」共鳴,大家都找不出原因。497Please respect copyright.PENANAU2AwXRsmC2
497Please respect copyright.PENANATGx8NyGx9l
「我從來,沒有夢過爺爺。」檸檬失落地說:「所以我才這麼弱。」497Please respect copyright.PENANAEQfp5YZj8G
497Please respect copyright.PENANAAr54ZoVwTv
「因為檸檬還太小了!」MIO安慰她:「小綠也沒有,她還是強得跟妖怪一樣。」497Please respect copyright.PENANARJRvKeVGEV
497Please respect copyright.PENANAzOgjOp4E9s
這倒是。檸檬心想。這麼多年,謝綠始終沒和她的祖母──第一代水果塔「笑臉」共鳴過,但她的實力有目共睹,絲毫不比大家差,強弱的關鍵並不在此。497Please respect copyright.PENANAckZBuGJI2X
497Please respect copyright.PENANAi1vmfJlYYG
「檸檬以後一定會很強!」MIO跟她說:「因為我們大家都很強!」497Please respect copyright.PENANA60XaNNg2vO
497Please respect copyright.PENANAVWk41JRRfv
「真的嗎?」檸檬反問:「我也能跟大家一樣?」497Please respect copyright.PENANA76ii2VVu5o
497Please respect copyright.PENANA9hNakoNAm5
「真的!」MIO從澡盆伸出她的右手,比了一個讚。497Please respect copyright.PENANA3y9wrDunpb
497Please respect copyright.PENANA2g8s0OU5xm
「謝謝妳,MIO。」497Please respect copyright.PENANAg0NpCbo8LE
497Please respect copyright.PENANAZpu15IUnE1
雖然不懂MIO的邏輯,但聽到如此純粹的鼓勵,檸檬心裡暖暖的,露出今天的第一抹微笑。497Please respect copyright.PENANAnSgxQ6kq1T
497Please respect copyright.PENANAmcTWjdo8yS
剩下時間,MIO的話題都圍繞著李博洋,但和MIO一起洗澡、聊天,對檸檬而言是放鬆的時光。兩人一起離開澡堂、一起去三樓、一起打開冰箱、一起喝牛奶、一起發出舒服的「哈!」聲。497Please respect copyright.PENANAkEjrDblBqY

497Please respect copyright.PENANAWn6fe2DTrD
「妳們兩個在幹嘛?」497Please respect copyright.PENANAcbhel0VTof
497Please respect copyright.PENANAD8HwuqSjkF
497Please respect copyright.PENANA4S2rj7jw4D
與此同時,桃紅色頭髮的人也來到三樓。神與畜第十二幹部──赫密士看著頭髮一長一短的兩個小鬼,用他一貫的超快語速問。497Please respect copyright.PENANAdWucMSwFYV
497Please respect copyright.PENANA8HTvcRWK26
「赫密士!你要喝牛奶嗎?」497Please respect copyright.PENANAXEAWTWXaLQ
497Please respect copyright.PENANApOawAe60me
MIO記憶恢復後,不安分的行為減少許多,這幾年和赫密士的關係修復不少,不像以前總是針鋒相對。497Please respect copyright.PENANAM4wzyco1lJ
497Please respect copyright.PENANA5lJEi6lgEl
「才不要我不喝小孩子的東西。」赫密士厭世地說。497Please respect copyright.PENANAtQLEXQTzYd
497Please respect copyright.PENANAKjegB1UAln
「可是,博洋也會喝牛奶呀!」MIO反駁。497Please respect copyright.PENANAtCvJhAd3G4
497Please respect copyright.PENANA3uvXCNPYq3
「他跟妳都是小孩。」赫密士表示。497Please respect copyright.PENANAfnEUTfFGsN
497Please respect copyright.PENANAAEIKP8LTVl
「葛蕾絲也會喝,小綠也會喝,云格也會!」MIO鼓起臉頰,「他們都不是小孩!牛奶才不是小孩的東西!」497Please respect copyright.PENANAiHm5MUjVbO
497Please respect copyright.PENANAhPTzqMcv3Q
赫密士懶得跟她辯,「行行行妳老大妳贏了妳說了算。」497Please respect copyright.PENANAQItrjt2R1f
497Please respect copyright.PENANAhoszPjWvFa
MIO比出勝利的YA,很高興自己贏了這場辯論。497Please respect copyright.PENANAxdsTF0nB5n
497Please respect copyright.PENANAFavawJrRGZ
「赫密士,你在找可樂嗎?」看赫密士打開冰箱,檸檬大概知道他在找什麼。497Please respect copyright.PENANA01bBw3K9kR
497Please respect copyright.PENANAUiFBL2DHeJ
「對啊我明明還有一瓶奇怪跑去哪了?」找不到東西,赫密士很煩躁。497Please respect copyright.PENANAs8QSaW1jFK
497Please respect copyright.PENANA14lDepUe1b
「被小綠喝掉了。」檸檬回憶:「我昨天看到。」497Please respect copyright.PENANAQk3aK4GOUZ
497Please respect copyright.PENANAY9M4dLYv01
「該死的綠眼怪明明自己有錢卻老是喝我的東西我要找她算帳!」497Please respect copyright.PENANA9MFFI1ArPW
497Please respect copyright.PENANA48WbPfjMLr
狠甩冰箱門,赫密士怒氣沖沖離開,跑去八樓找謝綠理論。497Please respect copyright.PENANAn22VlSk9V3
497Please respect copyright.PENANAUweqbH8yS7
「MIO也要去找博洋了!檸檬拜拜!」497Please respect copyright.PENANAxgsaXGM1rC
497Please respect copyright.PENANA47Xhhk7LWu
洗好澡、喝完牛奶,MIO也跟檸檬道別。看看時間,九點四十五分,檸檬也決定回房;要是被尼可拉斯發現她十點前沒睡,肯定又要被打。497Please respect copyright.PENANASwzkrm4yaB
497Please respect copyright.PENANAmG1f5ZWBXo
「……?」497Please respect copyright.PENANAcIpj8PW21Z
497Please respect copyright.PENANAeZmRP61e7C
回到四樓,檸檬發現自己房間的燈是亮的,走近一看──一個男人躺在她的床上,貓咪娃娃被拿來墊背,整理好的棉被也變得亂七八糟。檸檬露出厭煩的表情,問床上的人:「你為什麼老是來我房間?」497Please respect copyright.PENANAxSyBYJVaaO
497Please respect copyright.PENANA0Os11nzEOX
497Please respect copyright.PENANAiOYT80i6yX
「想和妳增進感情啊。」497Please respect copyright.PENANAV3me7YeKEd
497Please respect copyright.PENANAdGBcacLwUK
「小、檸、檬。」497Please respect copyright.PENANAdWWoIe7d7s
497Please respect copyright.PENANA5ZYc7QDg74
497Please respect copyright.PENANA8rT6sqXX3A
躺在床上的神與畜第五幹部──李晴煬,只有他會這麼稱呼檸檬。四年過去,他還是那副帥氣的成年人外表,氣質比以前更吊兒啷噹。他慵懶一笑,拍拍旁邊的位子,示意檸檬過來坐。497Please respect copyright.PENANAd7R2OHPSXD
497Please respect copyright.PENANAx8F944D7He
「請從我的床上下來。」檸檬不領情,她警告李晴煬:「不然我就──」497Please respect copyright.PENANAGOyrgkxIEZ
497Please respect copyright.PENANARs9xzQzsZn
「妳就什麼?叫江云格來?還是尼可拉斯?」李晴煬打斷檸檬的話,「真可怕,小小年紀就會威脅人,可惜,本大爺不怕妳說的那些人。」497Please respect copyright.PENANAtXoUF5OWTn
497Please respect copyright.PENANAhsW8uoJHrs
若問檸檬最討厭誰,檸檬的答案不是尼可拉斯,而是眼前的李晴煬。她不會形容,李晴煬給她的感覺就是很不舒服,讓人不想靠近。497Please respect copyright.PENANA3xp5tyUzvk
497Please respect copyright.PENANAACWFxRYriI
「怎麼不說話了?小檸檬。」497Please respect copyright.PENANAQMLp84ggjK
497Please respect copyright.PENANAl9cVODSmQp
偏偏,李晴煬總是主動來找自己,檸檬不知道他想幹嘛,這讓她很困擾。497Please respect copyright.PENANAivIPXdxTqX
497Please respect copyright.PENANAegpjCrTcex
「本大爺說要和妳增進感情,可不是謊話。」497Please respect copyright.PENANA2Rit2e1Xwv
497Please respect copyright.PENANAwyqAwTJWi3
語畢,一條黑色的汙泥從地上竄出、揪住檸檬的後領。她來不及反應,人就被汙泥拉到床上,躺到李晴煬旁邊。497Please respect copyright.PENANAJEOvkiu4Ed
497Please respect copyright.PENANAPr2SrgJLK8
「這才像話!」李晴煬露出惡魔般的得意微笑,摸著檸檬的頭,「乖孩子,乖孩子。」497Please respect copyright.PENANAWXS2xvMWLo
497Please respect copyright.PENANARG9pOt4wJ0
「……。」497Please respect copyright.PENANA86z6h33B4t
497Please respect copyright.PENANA1yU9NzzrBy
檸檬覺得很不安,現在的姿勢很尷尬──她整個人靠在李晴煬的胸膛。她知道,憑自己現在的實力,絕對無法擺脫李晴煬,不喜歡這種任人宰割的感覺。497Please respect copyright.PENANA0Y0yTjCd90
497Please respect copyright.PENANA19ZZqSGpgv
「小檸檬,妳有共鳴過嗎?」497Please respect copyright.PENANAlOAgnXUYW9
497Please respect copyright.PENANAI9DOjNE0ec
李晴煬突然問她。檸檬乖乖回答:「沒有。」497Please respect copyright.PENANAajaX7b36nt
497Please respect copyright.PENANAQWcz4lZBCE
「從來沒有?」497Please respect copyright.PENANAHv8xtVJAA6
497Please respect copyright.PENANArwVDMvW4Nm
「從來沒有。」497Please respect copyright.PENANACkUmAc5GYx
497Please respect copyright.PENANAl619Jn1uuT
「嗯……傷腦筋。」497Please respect copyright.PENANAZnJJUHnsDi
497Please respect copyright.PENANAtKtvlzQ3Cy
李晴煬戴著那副白色耳機。他戳了戳太陽穴,「妳沒有經驗,這件事能跟妳討論嗎?嗯……」497Please respect copyright.PENANAFesj81BuZj
497Please respect copyright.PENANAC03OnFIsXI
「我沒興趣。」檸檬表示:「請你從我的床上下來,或者,讓我從這裡下去。」497Please respect copyright.PENANAHoLTbQ3OqC
497Please respect copyright.PENANAGK1zasLlW1
「讓妳知道是不是太早了?嗯……」497Please respect copyright.PENANAI6NKZJQb3F
497Please respect copyright.PENANAZqzNDBdrja
李晴煬繼續思考,顯然,他沒把檸檬的話聽進去。檸檬放棄掙扎,就這麼躺在李晴煬旁邊,等他的下一步。497Please respect copyright.PENANAqPryS2cYnX
497Please respect copyright.PENANAiyAgasnJDC
「算了,妳夠聰明,一定能聽懂我在說什麼。」497Please respect copyright.PENANAhj25tIL7DU
497Please respect copyright.PENANAbx9e6csUEf
思考完畢,李晴煬決定告訴檸檬:「本大爺最近一直在共鳴,對象不是我爺爺,是別人。」497Please respect copyright.PENANAbbbz5cKbcG
497Please respect copyright.PENANAtjBthR4zsb
「別人?」話題成功勾起檸檬興趣,「難道是,艾莉絲?」497Please respect copyright.PENANAvndUOb4u2Y
497Please respect copyright.PENANAHqrJG9gxu3
「不,」李晴煬說:「是陌生人,我隱約感覺,對方在西南方。」497Please respect copyright.PENANAptWuz4zB5m
497Please respect copyright.PENANAxazDi5awcB
「……?」497Please respect copyright.PENANAwa1wdMzjQD
497Please respect copyright.PENANAXnL1S699R7
不是第一代水果塔,也不是艾莉絲,就是和自己有特殊連結的對象,好比李博洋與MIO、謝綠與江云格、尼可拉斯與派翠克。別說李晴煬,連檸檬都很好奇,能跟他共鳴的人會是誰。497Please respect copyright.PENANADPcYzk4btF
497Please respect copyright.PENANAKyTeR5SV5c
「哪,小檸檬。」李晴煬的紅色眼睛看著她,「要不要,跟本大爺去看看?」497Please respect copyright.PENANAHtiAYXy5II
497Please respect copyright.PENANANWiwK5yNfn
「……。」497Please respect copyright.PENANAD2N44BqoVd
497Please respect copyright.PENANAUbrYVaMJ9c
理智告訴檸檬不可以,大家不准她隨便外出,她每天都得很早起床,但有股力量在跟理智拉扯──有個壞孩子在她體內,生活需要一點叛逆。497Please respect copyright.PENANAZSCt8avkYB
497Please respect copyright.PENANAcVbv7UKrzL
「不要的話,本大爺就自己──」497Please respect copyright.PENANAeNshQF1Du8
497Please respect copyright.PENANAXHO9aKAVom
「我要去。」497Please respect copyright.PENANAsJyucMmSmO
497Please respect copyright.PENANAh0ItgoCje4
那一瞬間,檸檬似乎明白自己排斥李晴煬的原因──他們非常不同,彷彿活在兩個世界,彷彿光譜的極端值,彷彿磁鐵的正負極,卻也被彼此吸引,擁有對方沒有的東西。497Please respect copyright.PENANAXBmhwnw9AV
497Please respect copyright.PENANAUXTRaQKZhs
「你說要增進感情,」檸檬琉璃色的眼睛看著他,「一起去,感情才會變好。」497Please respect copyright.PENANAEN34SQ432X
497Please respect copyright.PENANAsCTjNphaFG
老實說,李晴煬沒想到檸檬會答應。偷偷帶檸檬出去,別說尼可拉斯,想到可以讓江云格──那隻把謝綠搶走的貓──困擾,李晴煬就覺得值得,太有意思了。497Please respect copyright.PENANApnSIclQzf7
497Please respect copyright.PENANAEQXuKQ3mee
「噓,我們要小聲一點。」497Please respect copyright.PENANAGXNbU4mlTT
497Please respect copyright.PENANAKwrH2DIUTV
要瞞過江云格的耳朵不容易。江云格是貓,聽力和視力是一般人類的七倍,但李晴煬不是省油的燈──他開啟封鎖線,將房間變成與世隔絕的空間後,李晴煬背起檸檬、打開落地窗,直接從四樓的陽台跳出去。497Please respect copyright.PENANAF8pLUGbfVT
497Please respect copyright.PENANA6MtXCRpjSC
「……啊。」497Please respect copyright.PENANAgz4tc5tzLl
497Please respect copyright.PENANAy9odjHRRe4
「怎麼?」497Please respect copyright.PENANAeLgCNn3C5Z
497Please respect copyright.PENANA1r5YsQYvBL
「我忘記說,爸比今天回來。」497Please respect copyright.PENANAwq3UknP8dz
497Please respect copyright.PENANAYSLaLWn7Eo
「哈!里奧大哥也在,越來越刺激了。」497Please respect copyright.PENANAZimwq4IQrU
497Please respect copyright.PENANABMJwhwbtnj
李晴煬才不怕,他可是惡魔──有著紅玫瑰與白玫瑰的惡魔。他帶著天使(Angel)穿梭於大樓,在月光下閃爍血色,譜出一部惡魔聖經。
