2161年2月19日，早上八點，黑教堂，北棟498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfVzZzxztYl
498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8wU6J4W7cG
498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ915LYC6C0n
不需要鬧鐘就自動睜開眼睛，梳洗完畢的檸檬打開衣櫃，發現除了媽媽的衣服，還有一件用塑膠套罩著、屬於她尺寸的黑色教袍。498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv7zhovINBA
498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqVvZPpd6mI
他們想讓檸檬受洗、成為薩拉凱爾教的一份子──檸檬早就有心理準備。她乖乖換上那件黑色教袍，掛上金色的十字架項鍊。498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpT7LZOMcoz
498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvserFyWG4D
「扣、扣。」498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDfHr17Qstp
498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPJ2PvzCuQV
八點半，一分一秒不差，敲門聲。檸檬打開房門，她的小舅舅──賴冰河正站在外面，依然是那張嚴肅的臉，與教袍格格不入的深藍色頭髮。498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnXWjqEpQvF
498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡefVoqSK2IY
「早安。」498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuFz1SMEZew
498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb4wFD6USZ5
基於禮貌，檸檬向他打招呼，但賴冰河沒有說話，只是瞥了她一眼，然後冷漠轉身、邁開步伐；檸檬本就不期望賴冰河會回應自己，只能默默跟上去。498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu9yXnHabuf
498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVdXfoGjDi4
498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVZ9IDZODLt
「還真冷漠啊。」498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtEZgoz76iW
498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF3nJ0pkucd
498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ24pK9HJJMg
羅笙的聲音突然在腦中響起。檸檬左看右看，整條走廊只有她和賴冰河兩人，驗證了羅笙昨天所說──不論距離多遠，他們都能用蜘蛛糖的頻道溝通。498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo168FNl4Yf
498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡladKutyv2g
「你昨晚沒經過我允許，就讓我睡著了。」498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1jAesmrtaC
498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPNBIGGsjq7
想到自己竟然連睡眠都被控制，檸檬用頻道控訴羅笙：「我不喜歡這樣，請你適可而止。」498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdkLBe7cT4l
498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC9dxUFFbnX
「小天使，妳該慶幸我只是讓妳睡著，不要跟我鬧脾氣。」498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLgu9TjleZK
498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBxtGF0GeUK
聽聲音，檸檬就能想像羅笙那高高在上的表情，她真的好想揍人。498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHAhfiGMbUM
498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk65VHwntm1
「機會難得，要不要試用我昨天給妳的人事資料？」羅笙突然說：「賴冰河是什麼樣的人，妳不好奇嗎？」498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmkWcxpAwpc
498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9uzTmCqkI4
「……。」498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIk9zj7N1ch
498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCNuQfiID4v
早上梳洗時，檸檬就想通了──蜘不蜘蛛無所謂，她現在的首要目標是完成任務，檸檬不介意借力使力，使用羅笙賦予她的蜘蛛糖。498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWN5mB42mXf

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnFa2oiPJry
腦中傳來機械口吻的女人聲線，檸檬盯著賴冰河的背影，神奇的是──所有和賴冰河有關的資料，都用綠色的文字顯示在旁邊。她一邊走，一邊快速瀏覽這些資料，看看有什麼特別之處。498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlnoIB5jOxC

其他條目都很正常，直到最後一個──檸檬滿頭問號地瞪大眼睛。最後更新時間是昨天晚上，也就是說，昨晚賴冰河送檸檬回房後，立刻上網查了這些。498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz6LxxVdfLB
498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXO4La5vao6
檸檬用頻道問羅笙：「為什麼有『網路搜尋紀錄』？」498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe9k6FF4iBV
498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnS9IgbeJ7I
「別小看它，那非常有用。」羅笙回答：「人類會對人類說謊，但對網路不會。搜尋紀錄能判斷對方在想什麼、策畫什麼、在意什麼。」498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtPRLQaJsTq
498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiByKWirUk0
看著賴冰河嚴肅而挺拔的背影，很難想像他正為「如何和外甥女打好關係」這種事煩惱。既然會特定搜尋，自己應該沒有被討厭……吧？498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrvq4GGIBQi
498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTpnCNpTvGL
就在這時，檸檬發現走在前面的賴冰河在用手機，她的資料也同步更新：498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZjSlcQ5PwL

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRgretCn5v9
──沒錯，就是現在，賴冰河正在不知所措，因為他不知道怎麼跟檸檬搭話。長相兇惡的人竟然在煩惱這種事，檸檬覺得有點好笑。小舅舅並不可怕，也有笨拙的一面。498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH3ahH7qAbA
498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9K8Dgnezdf
「早安，冰河叔叔。」498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡczxnobmsxK
498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuK22P0uMLr
一名同樣穿黑色教袍、年紀約二十出頭的男子從轉角出現，朝氣勃勃地和賴冰河打招呼。498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX1RPGbMASg
498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDQ0BFyBuqM
「咦？這位莫非是……？」498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhrU29uhGZp
498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC6VM7v5UV0
男子發現跟在賴冰河後面的檸檬。檸檬微微鞠躬，禮貌地自我介紹：「早安，我是安琪。」498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4U80X756O1
498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbF5SgaM1hU
「啊！我想起來了，是雪檸姑姑的女兒！」498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1d5ySx959B
498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4j3mOVRyem
除了賴梓柔，只剩另一個人會稱雪檸為姑姑。男子也向檸檬自我介紹：「我是賴梓威，薩拉凱爾教十二使徒之一。之後好好相處吧，安琪。」498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf3lEtTJonu
498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ21ADl07i2n
賴梓威的笑容很爽朗，一副鄰家大哥哥的長相，怎麼看都是教養好、腦袋好、個性好的完美男友人選。檸檬開啟分析系統，審視著賴梓威的資料。498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcY2I6Cx3Xx

……好吧，人不可貌相，看起來忠厚老實的賴家少爺，興趣竟然是變裝癖。希望賴梓威不要知道李晴煬現在變成什麼樣，他會吐血。498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQgGQBvBlvd

「冰河叔叔負責照顧這孩子嗎？」498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡca2U88bNoq
498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoTE9nSmclA
賴梓威是繼賴霜原後，第二個敢和賴冰河聊天的人，這讓檸檬更加確信自己的猜測，賴冰河只是臉兇，人其實不壞。498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEmYgbuMzYC
498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXFU2FVgr7r
「嗯。」498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡngusDH1NIv
498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnVYLVHhTwz
賴冰河的回應很冷淡，賴梓威習慣叔叔的說話方式，繼續用開朗的聲音跟賴冰河聊天：「真難得，我以為冰河叔叔這禮拜，都要忙著打遊戲。」498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3VFw1yloqw
498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQefsz3R3X4
「這是你爸的命令。」賴冰河嘆氣，「他說我是全服第一，這次活動可以放掉。」498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYlYUw5nt4B
498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqJTuF61Q2n
「哈哈！爸爸每個禮拜，都會去官網看排名。他知道叔叔一直都在榜上，叔叔超厲害的！」498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVjFq7VGhj9
498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9DgeMXQedB
賴梓威和賴冰河聊得很愉快，一旁的檸檬意識到：教主一家的感情很好。不論賴霜原對賴冰河、賴冰河對賴梓威、兩位舅舅對死去的賴雪檸……他們的階級觀念沒有謝氏嚴重，家人之間能像這樣聊聊遊戲、關心生活、知道對方的興趣嗜好，關係非常親密。498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5JEfa5A5x4
498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmeA6OfceIj
那麼，賴梓柔是怎麼回事？498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSqaoPr4Y7C
498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCizDhR6R0t
賴梓柔對家人的厭惡，不是裝出來的。她為什麼討厭薩拉凱爾，甚至不惜與神與畜聯手？難不成，有問題的不是這個家，而是賴梓柔？498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYWiRoKzccx
498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPqQ3Tu8m68
「不過，想想也真划算。」498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTIzgD9Pe5u
498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSNdkLbDWE7
賴梓威突然這麼說。檸檬回神，發現賴梓威用那雙清澈的眼，向自己投來一個真誠的目光。498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDgZhSJ5aAP

心臟彷彿漏了一拍。那一瞬間，檸檬覺得賴梓威很可怕──他還是那副雙朗的笑容，聲音依然朝氣勃勃，可是，他不覺得自己的話有什麼不對，這種理所當然的態度讓檸檬毛骨悚然。498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡloip6LP3Sf
498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM61qR8VAD9
498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUiVkA6Acwq
為什麼？498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeNNwO7njQU

那個人──賴梓綾，是你的妹妹啊。498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDYtPFt9IIX

「梓威。」498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKxfFLb32XJ
498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG1Z4Y1ZnK7
察覺到檸檬的眼神有異，賴冰河瞪著賴梓威，警告：「不要在小孩面前說這個。」498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS8lFqDGeWT
498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2B6qvEjPr4
「啊，抱歉。」498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX5hbQxIYWl
498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmfLBlsucR3
賴梓威這才意識到自己說錯──不是覺得自己言論有誤，而是場合不對；他不該在檸檬面前提起那骯髒的存在，他只承認這一點。498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUrc6nUJnV7
498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyVGg061kSo
「冰河叔叔，我先去餐廳了。」498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR149fHW6xo

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2n0TfbCME3
只有這樣？498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3anZxcNoQr
498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcJGwFvausp
說自己的妹妹骯髒、是惡魔，還說很划算。498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ81cRCkkAPv

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcUVvAb1giw
498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxL9Uc5ZLFA
賴梓威離開，檸檬和賴冰河的氣氛變回沉默，但現在的檸檬沒有心思，她只在意賴梓威剛才的話，彷彿從中明白了賴梓柔──為什麼她總是皺著眉，為什麼她討厭這個家，甚至，不惜毀掉這一切。498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQFkbiQnCGP
498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOMQXMNQaXl
「不用在意他的話。」498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSiEgd0Gq6r
498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLwhAzYj8Cu
賴冰河突然開口，檸檬一度以為自己聽錯──她的小舅舅竟然主動搭話。檸檬看向他，第一次凝視賴冰河深藍色的眼珠。498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW2LobdYkdE
498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9jO52Lk0JZ

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl4NN9Ed6uR
498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPFeTGuN6yW
看著賴冰河的眼珠，檸檬很想問他：你也認為賴梓綾是白惡魔嗎？你也是折磨賴梓綾的其中一員嗎？你也覺得賴梓綾很骯髒嗎？498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdNd64f4EXR
498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvpZKuz2IKb
你也覺得，水果塔是罪惡的存在，是需要被抹殺掉的基因嗎？498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgwe1Q43VDp
498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCKaDWX5mlO
問不出口，檸檬發現自己問不出口，因為她怕賴冰河回答「是」──要是這樣，小舅舅會變成敵人。賴冰河是會為了她、去搜尋那些關鍵字的人，檸檬不想與這樣的小舅舅為敵。498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcjLU74ilK2
498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz2VD9r7iPz
「走吧，我們也去餐廳，妳應該餓了。」498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqKFNacTUra
498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDF0ztxtRV3
見檸檬沒回應，賴冰河也不多說，繼續幫檸檬帶路，但這次不是走在前面，而是放慢步伐、走在旁邊，跟檸檬並肩同行。498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMQVeXqXtNp
498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXxjoaII1gc
來到餐廳，檸檬承認自己被嚇到了。她曾看過某部魔法電影，主角們用餐的食堂擺了好幾張長桌，同一學院的人肩並肩坐在一塊兒吃飯，薩拉凱爾的餐廳就是那個模樣，只差沒有巫師袍，也沒有可愛的貓頭鷹來送信。498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVWYdALFb4X
498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHme8FlW32k
巨大的餐廳擺著三張長桌，分別坐著男人、女人、小孩，大家開心地互道早安、聊天。三張長桌的前方，有一個橫著擺放的長桌，總共十二個座位，位子都是面向人群。檸檬看見賴梓威坐在其中一張椅子上，她猜那是十二使徒的座位，蜘蛛糖系統也驗證了這一點。498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV9kN9OpcyB
498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCOZWcYxtop
至於她的座位在哪，檸檬跟著賴冰河來到最前方──十二使徒的座位後方，走上階梯，上面也有一張長桌，但桌椅和餐具比其他人高檔。長桌中間是主教，左右兩側是副諮理，賴冰河的位子位於主教左方，旁邊多了張椅子，是檸檬的座位。498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV9aCmW3mZK
498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgx9VuYlL2Y
這個高度放眼望去，能看清楚每個人的臉孔，同樣地，薩拉凱爾的眾人也能看見她。檸檬的位子被安插在賴冰河旁邊，超級顯眼，不引人注目都難。498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSA4PC3mQkf
498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq7oAoXmkFD
「坐下吧。」賴冰河跟檸檬說。498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLezTjv2u5H
498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0tzot8hhSd
「請問，」檸檬第一次主動搭話：「你們都是這樣，大家一起吃飯？」498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXYtkzplVeB
498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgUj4YlNgX9
賴冰河點頭，「在黑教堂，大家的生活作息都綁在一起，少數人例外。」498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYLgAD4jyEi
498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb0qB4u1dkx
賴冰河說，眼睛瞄向十二使徒的座位。大部分的使徒都已就位，唯獨賴梓威旁邊的位置是空的。498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu4r9LDY9P9
498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIke909jG0E
「所謂例外，是賴梓柔嗎？」檸檬問。498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡczoMM8oflX
498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI2wjk2zCDu
「那孩子跟大家不一樣。」賴冰河表示：「梓柔討厭人多的地方，喜歡獨自行動。」498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSejF8S7Vjy
498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ8Hr3DfbHT
賴冰河說得很委婉，其實賴梓柔被大部分人當成異類，礙於是賴霜原的女兒，又是十二使徒之一，大家才不敢多嘴。498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxWqCdULDtZ
498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiZh85tT3H4
「還有人沒到嗎？」498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTCXxMyWMoO
498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMcmsOOuhLh
慈祥溫和的聲音從旁邊傳來，穿著主教教袍的賴霜原走到賴冰河旁邊。看見主教到場，整個餐廳立刻安靜，所有人的目光都看向前方，同時，不少人的目光也集中到檸檬身上，這讓她很不自在，幸好遺傳了里奧的面無表情，她看起來非常鎮定。498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjX9xON8jYu
498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsxKbWdRJlx
「父親大人。」賴梓威代表十二使徒開口：「扣掉梓柔，大家都到齊了。」498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrj0eOf9NXg
498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr66I0tXRB9
聽到「扣掉梓柔」四字，賴霜原沒特別反應。現場除了賴梓柔的座位，賴霜原右邊的位子也是空的──那裡原本坐著雪檸，如今只擺一束花，已經空了一段時間。498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfWXwpkkP9Z
498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKaHJ3deKnx
「那麼，我們開始吧。」498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiMLPmDbxxv
498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1gBuQxcwsE
說完，賴霜原閉上眼睛，雙手十指緊扣；所有人也閉上眼睛，額頭靠著十指緊扣的手，擺出禱告的姿勢。498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEuwXjs4S7t

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpcWa8NmFd9
498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ475zCGW2Nj
禱告完畢，男女老少一致睜開眼睛、開始吃飯，餐廳充滿交談的歡笑聲，及刀叉碰撞的清脆聲響。498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIh1BNkWONY
498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3oo9HdHTz6
檸檬沒有禱告，她又被嚇到了。神與畜沒有聚餐文化，就算大家都在仙境大樓，大部分人都在自己房間吃飯。眼前的三百多人一起吃飯、一起禱告、聲音動作全部一致，場面看起來溫馨，卻有說不上的詭異。498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPc0eyX1AVq
498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0ZVtE7xbxI
「妳不吃嗎？」498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEdOzp9gEdJ
498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE3BwkHr32U
賴冰河的話讓檸檬回神。她看了看小舅舅，再看了看桌上的銀製刀叉。檸檬沒表情，賴冰河還是發現她的不適應。498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjutjTKLpPw
498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT728GjjYTC
「妳……」賴冰河還是那張兇惡的臉，但他放慢語速，謹慎地挑選用詞：「身體不舒服？」498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGkdOd8QOR2
498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdyIJXAnIvb
賴冰河在心裡痛罵自己，哪有人用這麼爛的問句開話題！498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYtrBL2RN77
498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNGdiYEKlrx
「沒有。」檸檬只是搖頭，「不習慣。」498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSImkINf3ns
498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnmFPa27y2E
不習慣？賴冰河回想，自己一開始，也不習慣在人們面前吃飯，於是他善用自己兇惡的長相，恐怖的眼神掃過那些對檸檬投以目光的人──效果非常顯著，那些人立刻收回視線、乖乖低頭吃飯。498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQs39c3EEpd

「哪裡不習慣？」解決掉煩人的視線，賴冰河才問檸檬。498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbkI6znkVjF
498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYQnffD9sGR
「團體行動，和宗教。」檸檬反問賴冰河：「只有我不禱告，會不會很奇怪？」498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6mtIkWdDlP
498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3xgyYeuGgw
「妳沒有受洗，跟著禱告也沒意義。」498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL6kqQPgCwT
498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdax4c8TgXu
說完，賴冰河繼續吃他的東西。擺在檸檬面前的，是一盤金黃色、撒了白色糖霜的法式吐司，看起來蓬鬆可口，搭配新鮮的沙拉和歐姆蛋，是檸檬有記憶以來最豐盛的早餐。在仙境大樓，早上往往一塊麵包了事……神與畜才是對兒童極不友善的環境。498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0BmjhptBUQ
498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgonUc5zmO4
「那個，」吃到一半，檸檬想起賴冰河剛剛的話，「你說『大家的生活作息都綁在一起』，只有吃飯嗎？」498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuVg2FtwN7T
498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyhpq3ok7dP
「不是。」賴冰河解答：「同個時間起床、同個時間就寢，三餐一起吃，每周日參加彌撒。平日早上十點到下午五點工作，每人有各自的工作崗位，十三歲以下的小孩，在教堂附設的學校上課。」498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXFe2Yp6H4s
498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEGTqBvAyj5
「上課？」檸檬微愣，「我也要？」498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7PtREiaHiJ
498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxfrCZHI9mD
「『學齡前教育』。」賴冰河也微愣，「神與畜沒有嗎？」498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwI2jW7ec16
498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqj95vz6z2j
檸檬腦中閃過尼可拉斯的火車，「沒有。」及自己被火車撞來撞去的畫面，「我們……重視體能。」498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPMBsmfH2GI
498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsFQdNgVxyh
妹妹生前是Knight隊長，賴冰河能想像檸檬在神與畜的生活。在高宇維底下做事，殺人是基本中的基本，神與畜的教育一定不正常。檸檬比同年紀的孩童成熟，這不全然是好事。498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaHpderU1cR
498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZtIEaAzihl
「……。」498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqgW9m5jMgH
498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaFVS1i5jjv
想起賴雪檸，賴冰河的表情就變得十分凝重。檸檬覺得奇怪，自己說錯了什麼？498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡks6hPQ1I5f
498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡespBVOMreU
「你們在聊什麼，能讓我加入嗎？」498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9a3Az5tsyW
498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWMFj7A8twv
突然一道溫和的聲音傳來，坐在一旁的賴霜原湊過來，慈祥的笑容問：「安琪，食物吃得習慣嗎？」498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡatafoFZhqX
498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ6SxK0SLoO
「謝謝，非常好吃。」檸檬表示：「但不夠甜。」498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6Uilz5q6jK
498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ71unOci5hN
「不夠甜？」賴霜原很驚訝，「不是有楓糖嗎？」498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡINTsRQeNJw
498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm6HumthMa1
「有，但不夠。」檸檬眼神堅定，「楓糖要兩罐，果汁也不夠甜，最好的甜度是喝不出果汁原本的味道。」498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXCvBQZVV3f
498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDKLK6GeCaT
看檸檬一本正經、用篤定的口氣說這種話，賴霜原哈哈大笑，賴冰河剛才凝重的表情也消失，忍不住嘮叨：「小孩子不能吃這麼多糖，對身體不好。」498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9e2bk56leS
498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvLsoyiUsft
話一出，檸檬一臉失望，也是賴冰河第一次看到檸檬別的表情。498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY2FL3wh2V4
498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbU8I7xG1Ws
「真令人懷念，以前雪檸也是開口閉口都是肉，吃蔬菜好像要她的命。」498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIPkz1C6gQL
498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO3MJtj5aGW
賴霜原笑著說。跟賴冰河相比，賴霜原較不忌諱談論妹妹，也知道弟弟不喜歡聊賴雪檸的事，改問：「你們剛在說什麼？團體行動？」498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ7G45Y35g6
498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡARF3ZpRxgs
「上課的事。」賴冰河順便問：「哥，她要從哪階段的課程開始？」498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfAbvU13sQM
498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzluYQVt38a
賴霜原想了想，拋出令人驚訝的答案：「都不需要。」498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXYZehMAfq7
498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjtINMEZzl9
「啊？」498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnXdgCeaCnO
498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNfpL0DhxDh
「神與畜的重心是培養。為了早日獨當一面，神與畜給安琪的東西，一定比我們多出好幾倍。」賴霜原表示：「但宗教的課程是必須的。冰河，再麻煩你替她安排。」498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3bHFuJJksj
498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyZ3E3Y3HmK
賴霜原說的一派輕鬆，檸檬卻覺得奇怪，賴霜原對神與畜的了解似乎不淺，正當她在思考為什麼，腦中響起羅笙的聲音：498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMFbYK3DTe0
498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPI762CyL1w
498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6jW3lHHipP
「雪檸會和老家聯絡，高宇維允許她這麼做。」498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡia98RG6Xcb
498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs0rUvb2Bdu
498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWBKRFBG0r3
羅笙用蜘蛛的頻道告訴檸檬：「薩拉凱爾和神與畜的關係很微妙。他們站到反高陣營，因為高宇維不承認現在的薩拉凱爾教。」498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOAmLsRB1Ct
498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1DLkUpVvxq
「『現在的』？」聽到關鍵字，檸檬在頻道反問。498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcGm9EA2gBx
498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFPuGPfI9tM
「薩拉凱爾最初的教義，是第一代水果塔『睡鼠』──小約翰創立的。賴霜原接任教主後，幾乎改掉全部。高宇維只承認小約翰的教義，覺得現在的教義是垃圾。」羅笙說：「薩拉凱爾和高宇維互看不順眼，但因為賴雪檸，兩邊維持『表面上』的和平；如今賴雪檸死了，換妳代替她的角色。」498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKMkivkvKfh
498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmw6qNrXsK0
檸檬忍不住在心裡吐槽──羅笙說得事不關己，也不想想這一切是誰造成的。雖然沒見過媽媽、不曾因為媽媽的死難過，但如果雪檸還活著，事情會輕鬆許多。498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc488jO6j7T
498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFxpS6nKfX1
「所以，」498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD1CVwPbiUo
498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKhJlVwww08
和藹的聲音讓檸檬回到現實。賴霜原同時和兩人說：498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3MWgMkxCrq
498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBrgNfT1zyr
「這禮拜除了吃飯時間，安琪都可以自由活動、好好認識環境，只要不離開黑教堂就行。」498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKb3KyJ74gU
498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4aPH3BmlT3
賴霜原說這話，只有兩個可能：他是徹頭徹尾的白癡，或他非常有自信。堂堂教主不會是前者，賴霜原敢讓檸檬獨自在黑教堂閒晃，證明他不擔心神與畜找出不利自己的東西。498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKebz7swJrI
498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxWkAGZ6Ena
「我知道了，謝謝大舅舅。」498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2FRBzO2YQT
498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1LDiN6HwQR
檸檬禮貌道謝。只有兩天、只見過兩次，但她非常確信：這座教堂跟它的主人一樣，神聖、慈祥、和善、溫馨，及與這些光明共存的──不為人知的黑暗面。
