在風和日麗的假日,對活潑可愛的孩子們來說,最適合的就是走出戶外曬曬陽光踏踏青了。伯特、小夏與木每當然也不例外,在這個陽光明媚的早晨三人一同來到了校園附近的森林露營區露營,順道帶小夏的書出來紫外線消毒。504Please respect copyright.PENANArrlhFMQJsl
504Please respect copyright.PENANAmf2Q2zARA6
微風吹拂在三人臉上,森林的氣味使人平靜,早已搭好的帳棚在一旁,而木每與森林裡的小動物們玩了起來,小夏則與伯特一同享用帶來的茶,如此和諧、愜意,使人忘卻平日的勞累與威脅。504Please respect copyright.PENANAGVJsKOFx3e
504Please respect copyright.PENANASqXzY1X1fv
「伯特的父親……讓我想起了什麼呢。」504Please respect copyright.PENANAuM6yLl9ZsK
小夏突然開啟話題,她直視伯特的眼,希望他能聽她說話。504Please respect copyright.PENANAp2qi24vUTx
「想起了什麼?」504Please respect copyright.PENANAF80dt9nik1
伯特輕啜一口帶酸甜的花茶,準備好要聽小夏說起她從腦中撈出的記憶。504Please respect copyright.PENANA43i37u6TQh
「我記得過去有個人跟我很親近,非常照顧我,他的樣子跟你的父親有點相似……也可能是因為都是長髮男性吧,既視感十分強烈……」504Please respect copyright.PENANAS38vzpPR7g
小夏一邊思考,一邊述說,以致於語速緩慢。504Please respect copyright.PENANASwGof5IL30
504Please respect copyright.PENANAFLYZTDPTjY
而當她想要將此話作結,忽然,一旁有其他人的聲音緩緩接近,是兩種高低不同的,少女的聲音。504Please respect copyright.PENANAiaTuPhVKRZ
504Please respect copyright.PENANAK7VihafFt0
「瑪芬,我跟你說喔,前天我在學校裡跟五騎擦肩而過喔,哇阿阿……不管是哪個都好帥阿,你覺得他們哪個會喜歡我?」504Please respect copyright.PENANARLBktvYYW7
有著桃色與藍色各半的髮,少女藍粉色的眸中閃著亮光,不自覺揚起的笑容,與她陶醉的表情,顯示出她沉溺在自己的粉色妄想之中。504Please respect copyright.PENANApMBgeX0h4w
「憑你那智商,他們都不會喜歡你的,別想了,姐姐。」504Please respect copyright.PENANAYlQlPqztfc
金髮捲髮的少女與其並肩走,在一旁聽完姐姐述說,立刻是一陣酸言酸語。504Please respect copyright.PENANAyqiOTqI6IX
504Please respect copyright.PENANAn53rtCiKdu
小夏與伯特看著兩人走過,而兩人走去的方向正是木每所在,她們似乎沒有注意到前方,不一會,就撞了上去。504Please respect copyright.PENANAV4f3icXCfO
504Please respect copyright.PENANAbLG843PkXK
「好痛……你擋在這裡幹嘛!」504Please respect copyright.PENANASq5YjaA9UH
金髮的少女跌倒在地,立刻朝木每大罵,一旁的姐姐想要拉住她,讓她不要生氣,卻被一把推開。504Please respect copyright.PENANADE51k12Nto
504Please respect copyright.PENANAX3K8xYInZO
小夏與伯特看著兩人走過,而兩人走去的方向正是木每所在,她們似乎沒有注意到前方,不一會,就撞了上去。504Please respect copyright.PENANAcusIWKu63L
504Please respect copyright.PENANAmxwj7k823M
「好痛……你擋在這裡幹嘛!」504Please respect copyright.PENANAp2jz27lHJJ
金髮的少女跌倒在地,立刻朝木每大罵,一旁的姐姐想要拉住她,讓她不要生氣,卻被一把推開。504Please respect copyright.PENANA3Ml34qpHAI
504Please respect copyright.PENANAk2oWqNefF7
「咦!抱……抱歉?」504Please respect copyright.PENANARAFK0cEt5s
滿頭問號的看著自己走來撞倒的女孩,木每疑問句的道歉似乎更是給對方火上加油,作勢要朝木每一拳揮下。504Please respect copyright.PENANASZF8YbBEJ8
504Please respect copyright.PENANAvKtFUGbxk7
「瑪芬!不要!」504Please respect copyright.PENANANLZjVryEsu
藍粉配色的少女將稱作瑪芬的火爆女孩撲倒在地,似乎有著分明的體重優勢,被壓在下方的女孩死命地掙扎卻絲毫無法掙脫。504Please respect copyright.PENANAGPHNN1v5w7
504Please respect copyright.PENANAxhwd2Gm2kO
「布蕾……妳……快……給我起來!這個……胖子……」504Please respect copyright.PENANAoc8nZtpduf
「不行!瑪芬冷靜布蕾才放瑪芬走!」504Please respect copyright.PENANAdyORgDiFUl
「布蕾……」504Please respect copyright.PENANAUZGudDHoyn
「瑪芬冷靜布蕾才放瑪芬走!」504Please respect copyright.PENANAkHnxuUKhz3
畢竟是熟人,瑪芬當然很了解布蕾如金剛石般頑固的個性,可惜在地心引力的作用下,現在的瑪芬更難再吐出多餘的字了。504Please respect copyright.PENANAhF0aczOXvd
504Please respect copyright.PENANADVjD9Nsnp3
「呃……我想她已經冷靜了喔?」504Please respect copyright.PENANABstLP2axfz
看著眼前的少女慢慢地變成不妙的顏色,木每嘗試和上方的女孩溝通,希望對方能自行起來。504Please respect copyright.PENANApnsFa5jONf
504Please respect copyright.PENANA2Vr0jdYi7n
「瑪芬冷靜了嗎?」504Please respect copyright.PENANAdLSPACIf9j
「……」毫無回音。504Please respect copyright.PENANAxbrTBJH44P
「瑪芬冷靜了嗎?」504Please respect copyright.PENANAHM3uIvfIVb
「……」依然毫無回音。504Please respect copyright.PENANAYvP0zPmm8u
布蕾好奇的撐起身體往下方查看,幸好下方的少女除了劇烈的咳嗽外目測無大礙。504Please respect copyright.PENANAjUV0Mwma4e
504Please respect copyright.PENANAMHZ7pw6vI1
看對方沒事,木每鬆了口氣,施了治癒魔法後,瑪芬似乎還惦記著撞倒的事,面無表情地站了起來。504Please respect copyright.PENANA27ypCr5eiW
這頭的意外暫時落幕,後方,喝茶雙人組姍姍來遲,他們看著姊妹兩,以及一旁的木每,還沒能理解發生了什麼,突然,猛獸的吼叫朝他們接近。504Please respect copyright.PENANAJpoYqcrFts
504Please respect copyright.PENANA3IFLesmwkE
朝他們衝來的是,一隻貓頭羚角柴犬尾兔身雕翼的奇美拉,由於逐漸接近,他們終於可以清楚聽見他的吼叫聲。504Please respect copyright.PENANAirO3vT3RJw
504Please respect copyright.PENANAV9sVOdaEim
「喵哇!」504Please respect copyright.PENANA38afmrcvdI
牠發出莫名可愛的叫聲,外表也算挺討喜,只是體型有點過大了。504Please respect copyright.PENANAQz03wrf5cy
504Please respect copyright.PENANAP1VyA2sJIZ
就在伯特本要拉著小夏往一邊閃去,那奇美拉轉了向,直往布蕾身上衝,然後,撲倒了她,並在她臉上輕輕舔舐,似乎相當親暱。504Please respect copyright.PENANAY2ebORoBZn
504Please respect copyright.PENANADs6HSXN9Mi
「嘻嘻嘻……好癢阿波卡……」504Please respect copyright.PENANACvQmwZKxUu
少女與奇美拉在地上打滾,兩者皆沾上了泥土,卻並不在意,一邊的瑪芬倒是露出嫌棄的表情。504Please respect copyright.PENANAjVokDnQ24G
504Please respect copyright.PENANAbKMgQ4bbYl
「喔喔!是奇美拉呢!能混合的那麼可愛很少見耶!」504Please respect copyright.PENANA6e5YbwGpON
瞭解動物的木每馬上認出了這隻奇美拉的稀有之處,很快地就加入他們一同玩耍,另一邊的伯特與小夏早已習以為常,但一旁的瑪芬的臉則是越來越猙獰。504Please respect copyright.PENANApx73warmZL
504Please respect copyright.PENANA1VZW6tWbae
「唔……看來沒什麼事情了。」504Please respect copyright.PENANANywcmyDrIr
伯特見玩在一塊的兩人與奇美拉如此和諧,總算放心下來,一旁的小夏倒是盯著瑪芬不放。504Please respect copyright.PENANAqAHGkfFOij
504Please respect copyright.PENANAnRZs64HEbc
她從那少女身上嗅到一絲危險的氣息,擔憂接下來會發生些什麼,幸好那少女只是哼了一聲,就轉身離開。504Please respect copyright.PENANAb3e45Z87is
504Please respect copyright.PENANAzVblb9JHHA
於是,原先平靜的三人露營突然增加為五人加一隻奇美拉,親近動物的兩名少女在距離營地不遠的地方玩耍,瑪芬、小夏與伯特則在一旁吃著點心,伯特的目光直看著某個方向。504Please respect copyright.PENANABkVTWnFp9J
504Please respect copyright.PENANAQDy2aO3VkF
「那裡有什麼嗎?」504Please respect copyright.PENANAhRbvgfejJW
小夏好奇的詢問。504Please respect copyright.PENANAvchWPNklr0
「有流水聲,很近,那裡有河。」504Please respect copyright.PENANAXVv7E9TaBd
伯全神貫注的試圖用魔力去探索那個方向的狀態,卻徒勞無功。504Please respect copyright.PENANAZgKiknpxGB
「兩位,想吃魚嗎?」504Please respect copyright.PENANAKUDfuYX8Y5
突然,他轉頭回來,看向兩名少女,而對方點頭,眼神卻是茫然。504Please respect copyright.PENANArwljXMusEH
504Please respect copyright.PENANAo5IqLbIoTm
伯特將背包中的髮飾點上一吻,交給小夏,並說明若有什麼意外,髮飾會發亮,屆時便跟隨指引的方向前去救援即可,說罷,人就往河邊走去。504Please respect copyright.PENANAA91Bh9d4Cd
504Please respect copyright.PENANAAVjQiE1opI
潺潺流水,四周有茂密的草,更接近溪邊則是許多石頭,清澈的溪水可見底,讓人難以目測深淺,伯特拉起褲管,將腳緩緩深入冰涼的溪水中,很快的踩到了底。504Please respect copyright.PENANAKB6mbPgCjJ
504Please respect copyright.PENANAU8i57O6WM9
他試圖彎下腰去觸碰游過的魚群,卻被濺起的水花打退,這似乎沒有想向那般簡單。504Please respect copyright.PENANACKRCi7SAGh
504Please respect copyright.PENANAz7REoQFJvd
於是他脫去衣物,準備與魚兒進行真正的追逐,不是魚群成為佳餚,就是他餓肚子,這是一場賭上生存的戰爭。504Please respect copyright.PENANA4EhPq9yptC
504Please respect copyright.PENANAAVZg2e5Yrb
在溪邊一處水特別平靜的地方,伯特用石子圍起一圈子,讓捕捉到的魚可以暫時在那待著。504Please respect copyright.PENANApRrrW40ROZ
504Please respect copyright.PENANANKpHAG8eMI
「噗哇!」504Please respect copyright.PENANA9Yqu9OmdxH
捕捉了數條肉量充足的魚之後,伯特從水中站起,目光正巧對上因不放心而跟來的小夏。504Please respect copyright.PENANASVKzy8PqMg
504Please respect copyright.PENANAcGNfHdjjNx
兩人之間的空氣彷彿凝結了。504Please respect copyright.PENANAEyri5Jel5R
504Please respect copyright.PENANAkitdHpi2qK
小夏立刻別過頭,臉頰攀上一抹紅,伯特亦如是。504Please respect copyright.PENANAvVRgav9F3S
504Please respect copyright.PENANAv8P2jFLZy7
那之後,伯特擦乾了身子,將衣服穿上,便開始數起撈到的食材。504Please respect copyright.PENANAajByvgaKJx
504Please respect copyright.PENANAJ3fclI2Yqg
「木每醬——要吃飯嘍!」504Please respect copyright.PENANAcon6n4cDui
眼看時間差不多,伯特與小夏將捕來的魚在河邊進行處理,不知不覺間自己與小夏的肚子開始躁動起來,伯特朝木每的方向大喊,也邀請兩姊妹一同野餐,起初瑪芬不太願意,但又放不下姊姊一個人和陌生人吃飯,只好縮在布蕾身後,默默地吃著午餐。504Please respect copyright.PENANAecYQfnB3Wm
504Please respect copyright.PENANAElbbU86830
五人一獸圍繞著臨時堆起的火爐,相互分享著烤魚及三明治,全程四人有說有笑。504Please respect copyright.PENANAbs0mI7ebLy
504Please respect copyright.PENANAR7bA7eubo0
原來,姐姐布蕾是即將轉入克萊斯迪納魔法學院的學生,只是在年紀上大了他們兩屆,而妹妹瑪芬則是即將在明年入學,發現有了共同的話題後,布蕾也以前輩的身分給了兩位許多未來修課方面的方向及建議。504Please respect copyright.PENANAjvfBfEMFZq
504Please respect copyright.PENANAykQ4OhHsHK
看著話題更是熱絡了起來,縮在布蕾身後的瑪芬四周隱約能看見黑壓壓的氣息。504Please respect copyright.PENANAZ3uM2Y27S9
504Please respect copyright.PENANAK9frbs8tkq
「雖然早就想要去你們學校,但好可惜呢……以後就見不到五騎了。」504Please respect copyright.PENANAlZL0lLl1yD
布蕾似乎沒有注意到被冷落的妹妹那越發巨大的怨念,繼續與三人暢談。504Please respect copyright.PENANAN55cecCOPJ
504Please respect copyright.PENANALpEwEFlvSA
「五騎?」504Please respect copyright.PENANAHpFFH15y1a
看著布蕾那略顯失落的表情,木每摸了摸奇美拉,聆聽之餘,也不時提問。504Please respect copyright.PENANAOdfR4w0GZ9
「是我們學校的五位帥哥喔,除了長的很帥以外還很強!每次在學校進行劍術練習時,我都會偷偷的跑去觀看他們練習,真的太帥氣了!」504Please respect copyright.PENANAb1d3DyXqab
布蕾說著,雙眼都閃閃發光,好像那場景就在眼前一般。504Please respect copyright.PENANAdN2kC2vPj8
504Please respect copyright.PENANA3clDJfUKcn
經過一番仔細瞭解,原來姐姐本是騎士學院的學生,而她口中的五騎之中,有兩人的形象讓伯特感到熟悉。504Please respect copyright.PENANAvTwmlEp348
504Please respect copyright.PENANAMlzAAVVMLe
「該不會……」504Please respect copyright.PENANAcgW95TiQIO
就在伯特打算進一步追問之時,小夏推了推他的肩膀,指向布蕾身後。504Please respect copyright.PENANAagCcuHwI9t
504Please respect copyright.PENANAjXU5iC2PyS
原先在那的瑪芬消失無蹤,連帶奇美拉也不知去向,兩人露出緊張的表情,一旁的木每與布蕾這才意識到,大事不妙。504Please respect copyright.PENANA4ix05mCCeL
504Please respect copyright.PENANARCKF6EYO7M
「波卡!現在起你自由了!快滾!」504Please respect copyright.PENANAjnZTuG1D43
「喵哇!」504Please respect copyright.PENANA6MvSgJ7Rj2
離眾人有段距離的樹林間,瑪芬雙手插著腰對著波卡下令,波卡也非常的乖巧,在一聲鳴叫後變化作閃電「轟!」的一聲便不見蹤影,波卡的反應完全在預料之外,瑪芬被閃電嚇的跌坐在地。504Please respect copyright.PENANAmA0gOxlwJN
504Please respect copyright.PENANAumFodsVsf9
明明知道這不是自己的本意,明明知道該成長的其實是自己。504Please respect copyright.PENANAtETS9VpDXq
504Please respect copyright.PENANAUBFomfT4VK
少女模糊了眼眶,而後方的眾人也被閃電吸引而來。504Please respect copyright.PENANAxyaGDjPwit
504Please respect copyright.PENANAUPuL0q1mvt
「瑪芬?」504Please respect copyright.PENANAoMcFTcFlqB
首先到達瑪芬身旁的是布蕾,她上前扶起妹妹,臉上帶著擔憂。504Please respect copyright.PENANA04aIXHMl3K
504Please respect copyright.PENANADvSczzbICb
布蕾見立刻前來關心自己的姐姐,突然後悔了起來,傻呼呼的姐姐其實還是很在乎自己,然而,她卻為了自己的一時任性,造成了麻煩。504Please respect copyright.PENANAnld4sBB319
504Please respect copyright.PENANAlDsIMpTCRL
但是既然計畫已經完成了第一步,那又怎能放棄,布蕾很快恢復精神,而後提議要大家分頭去尋回波卡。504Please respect copyright.PENANAzDu5yfINO5
504Please respect copyright.PENANAppTc2bknof
「我跟布蕾一組,你們自己慢慢決定,就這樣!」504Please respect copyright.PENANACt2zud41XL
留下了未能反應過來的三人,瑪芬拉著布蕾的手往森林身處走去,布蕾乖巧的任她拉著,拿出口袋中的法杖照明前方的路。504Please respect copyright.PENANAnEl6m82upG
504Please respect copyright.PENANAgTDGkoIhvr
「瑪芬……為什麼要放走波卡呢?」504Please respect copyright.PENANAcYX6z7w1sO
在確認四周只有兩人後布蕾緩緩地開口,聞言瑪芬抖了一下,似乎自己的詭計早已被身旁的姊妹所識破。504Please respect copyright.PENANAwpHraKBf64
504Please respect copyright.PENANAIEwY2RyGvj
「……」504Please respect copyright.PENANAZpD0A1kp52
瑪芬並沒有回話,並不是在向姊姊鬧脾氣,而是對自己的作為感到羞愧,抓著布蕾的手稍稍緊了些,而後者看著妹妹微微顫抖的背影二話不說便抱了上去。504Please respect copyright.PENANAh4MW79BW5v
504Please respect copyright.PENANAC0HuZA76zw
在布蕾溫暖的懷裡,瑪芬斗大的淚珠終於衝破了堤防不斷的滴落。504Please respect copyright.PENANAzZ5croSDaB
「對不起……對不起……」504Please respect copyright.PENANAjp6OQ7Hnt7
脆弱的少女不斷道歉著,耳邊平穩的心跳仿佛在安慰著少女。504Please respect copyright.PENANAxizBfqHFWM
沒關係。504Please respect copyright.PENANAh5r4qBzP4D
504Please respect copyright.PENANAI087msJG2m
另一邊,三人看著迅速遠去的姐妹花也不敢多浪費時間,據木每的了解,就算是解除主僕關係奇美拉短時間難是不會離(前任)主人太遠的,三人立刻騎上御螈,從空中尋找閃電的影子。504Please respect copyright.PENANAPaNY6JNPzq
504Please respect copyright.PENANAWml3BxteQu
天還很亮,想要找到發光的東西更是不容易,三雙眼睛在空中乾瞪,過了將近兩個小時,御螈終於不耐煩地提醒眾人下方有不斷閃多的亮光,而後化做透明在附近緩緩降落。504Please respect copyright.PENANAAz42kxYk8T
504Please respect copyright.PENANAVK1HCeudTg
「今天收穫真不錯呢!會發電又可愛根本*卡*。」504Please respect copyright.PENANAS6S29pIDM8
「老大啊!真的要把它賣掉嗎?我們用它來賣電池不是也挺好?」504Please respect copyright.PENANABVg0ILhD6B
「沒辦法啊!已經和客戶說好了要給會發電的魔獸了。」504Please respect copyright.PENANAd6YK51MoDs
504Please respect copyright.PENANAazu9aqF2VL
那三個面孔,木每與伯特再熟悉不過,竟然是在龍谷遇到的盜獵者,上回沒有趕盡殺絕,從惡夢醒來居然又繼續盜獵,全然沒有記取教訓。504Please respect copyright.PENANAJPuQoz83X1
504Please respect copyright.PENANAvQ0KZ5dflO
小夏看著一旁臉色不對勁的伯特與木每,猜想也許與三人起過衝突,正想詢問,卻見伯特衝了上前。504Please respect copyright.PENANAXrbMHVG859
504Please respect copyright.PENANASO8ner94mW
他從背包中拿出拆信刀,輕輕一壓,刀子彈了出來,像是發狂了一般,往盜獵者之一揮去。504Please respect copyright.PENANA9bKosVJQjs
504Please respect copyright.PENANA4fmu6nLbG2
「哪來的神經病?」504Please respect copyright.PENANAaTzGUvv7YQ
盜獵者往旁閃過,逃過一劫,定睛一看,是上回哭哭啼啼的孩子。504Please respect copyright.PENANAh9D5xKtNbs
504Please respect copyright.PENANAgVDVh1gjK2
一旁的隊友打算前來支援,卻被一個巨大的力道推向了關著奇美拉的籠子。504Please respect copyright.PENANAexLXoyfMKr
「哐!嗑!」504Please respect copyright.PENANANgRaIJJUsF
伴隨著骨頭斷裂的聲音,關著波卡的籠子就這樣被撞開了,重獲自由的波卡再次化做閃電消失在眾人面前。504Please respect copyright.PENANAU3ol2QJXTC
504Please respect copyright.PENANALEugz4wvx0
三人將盜獵者關進原本關波卡的籠子裡,再次乘著御螈往波卡的方向追去。504Please respect copyright.PENANAlf4RjCEgh1
504Please respect copyright.PENANAarfnXZg7Lp
波卡在森林裡亂竄,御螈因不斷追趕而有些疲累,天色也漸暗,底下變的一片漆黑,難以看清。504Please respect copyright.PENANA5thbOD40bC
504Please respect copyright.PENANAzsZLUSzSUH
就在三人失去方向之際,底下突然一陣閃光,御螈朝那個方向降落。504Please respect copyright.PENANAwHDMmCfK7V
504Please respect copyright.PENANA6fMyJq99LW
「波卡——」504Please respect copyright.PENANATO5DAz3d46
三人降落在地面,看見了波卡撲在布蕾身上的光景,波卡先是蹭了蹭布蕾,接著,咬住布蕾的袋子。504Please respect copyright.PENANAh3t2kzTI6E
504Please respect copyright.PENANAtsBHyfZgUW
「欸?波卡想要袋子嗎?」504Please respect copyright.PENANA654lTwdtPd
布蕾見波卡咬著袋子,感到不解。504Please respect copyright.PENANAHMMXEpTOL6
504Please respect copyright.PENANA0CTXyFYEgH
接著,波卡將小袋子裡的東西都抖了出來,一盒*事掉到地上,包裝破了,掉出一片片金黃的馬鈴薯片。504Please respect copyright.PENANA1hWvPjVw9o
504Please respect copyright.PENANAFKxYYkrutg
「喵哇!」504Please respect copyright.PENANAtmUTcunKjv
波卡愉快的吃起掉在地上的馬鈴薯片,布蕾這才知道,讓波卡停下腳步的,是誘人的食物。504Please respect copyright.PENANAdbpphPAxui
504Please respect copyright.PENANAj9lCv3x2Ir
「什麼嘛……居然只在乎吃的嗎?」504Please respect copyright.PENANAY0aEaYIdmu
一旁的瑪芬趁波卡享用點心之時,再度將波卡束縛於契約,波卡就再也不能亂跑。504Please respect copyright.PENANAu8q0ZlB24b
504Please respect copyright.PENANAbx5AWqFREx
最後,瑪芬正式向三位因為自己的任性道歉,並且邀請三人去他們家族開的飯店遊玩。504Please respect copyright.PENANA0zI3HnirMa
504Please respect copyright.PENANAMVb4I8eFAQ
結束了這次的郊遊,三人回到學校,一同看著馬卡龍紫的夕陽。504Please respect copyright.PENANAQNobnkBCKT
504Please respect copyright.PENANASr3qvpRHbs
看來明天要開始下雨了呢!
