這日天氣仍沒有好轉,還是陰雨綿綿,三人走在往教室的走廊,伯特與木每走在前方,而小夏提著伯特的書包。543Please respect copyright.PENANA8vcqJXMoIc
543Please respect copyright.PENANAsWtpyIEKZG
先前雖有交換的條件,只是兩人的生活一向習慣自己處理,小夏能做的真的是太少了,因此今早,她突然提出要幫忙提書包,原先木每的書包也是小夏說要拿著的,但兩個書包對於少女而言是重了些,而木每還是習慣於自己背著,就沒有讓她幫忙了。543Please respect copyright.PENANAkarebjkftA
543Please respect copyright.PENANAWo3k4kpbwF
到了教室門前,小夏將書包遞給伯特,動作顯的謹慎小心,並非畏懼著什麼,似乎她一直就是這樣。看著在座位坐定的兩人,在送兩人進教室後能做的工作也告了一段落。543Please respect copyright.PENANAnofFB5bxjz
543Please respect copyright.PENANAThYYO6AfpY
若要說小夏的一天的行程,那大概是這樣的:543Please respect copyright.PENANA4peD2XWIsn
543Please respect copyright.PENANAskLJwu5ljB
在兩人起床盥洗時整理兩位的床鋪,再趁著剩下的空檔到二樓的學餐,依兩人的口味喜好及食量夾好早餐,趁熱送至兩人的書桌。在享用早餐時則是檢查書包及作業(不會幫忙寫作業),最後就是(其實沒有很必要的)護送兩人去上課。543Please respect copyright.PENANAd1ev6Qhr9x
543Please respect copyright.PENANApBeIdDMYJd
接下來是自由時間,但這段時間比起到處逛逛小夏反而更喜歡到學餐廚房幫忙。畢竟小夏的存在也獲得了校長的允許,不然光靠兩位學生的“擅自處理“是不太可能那麼順利的。543Please respect copyright.PENANAandJrJxluL
543Please respect copyright.PENANAGZZeP1eU7J
雖然失去記憶,但身體對下廚的記憶似乎非常的熟練,不論中餐還是西餐,飲料還是甜點,只要有食材小夏都能完成,順利地為學餐的廚房淺輕了許多負擔。543Please respect copyright.PENANAst94l4j4T6
543Please respect copyright.PENANAoX36MZ4MaE
至於在不需要為學餐服務之時,她便去圖書館借閱書本,這是她第二大興趣,她對知識是相當渴求的,之所以沒有選擇入學,只緣於沒有錢足夠支付學費。543Please respect copyright.PENANAFNAHXQY9ra
543Please respect copyright.PENANApdqK5YIeEG
而在萬書之中,她似乎又對煉金術與魔藥特別有感觸,她覺得,製作藥水與煉製物質,就與料理一般,她甚至有想親手製作的念頭,無奈她是不可能使用教室的物品。543Please respect copyright.PENANAkqZQ4sdq38
543Please respect copyright.PENANApsSucqMbx0
「嘿,小夏!」543Please respect copyright.PENANAg7boVkJ7Wx
就在她投入書本內容的研究之時,有個聲音喚醒了她。她看了過去,原來是伯特坐到了她的身邊。543Please respect copyright.PENANAlJBhCWNg8y
543Please respect copyright.PENANAUR9y1uXupT
「你不用上課?」543Please respect copyright.PENANAdQXBrBYC0Q
「這節我沒修課喔。」543Please respect copyright.PENANAnL2zWTBO1P
543Please respect copyright.PENANAwySlPWqv5B
壓低了音量交談,話語僅在兩者之間得以聽見。543Please respect copyright.PENANAciQkDYD2Jw
543Please respect copyright.PENANAD20chASJA5
他們一同度過了寧靜的下午,伯特偶爾會問小夏一些字的問題,奇妙的是,小夏似乎只忘記與自己身份相關的事情,知識倒是一點都沒忘。543Please respect copyright.PENANAfwQwMDB5ZN
543Please respect copyright.PENANAET8BBJreQE
「那,晚點見啦。」543Please respect copyright.PENANAIPwbpEqU2p
伯特爽朗的笑容映在她的眼中,偶爾她也會羨慕能夠笑的如此自然的他。543Please respect copyright.PENANAbWB2IF6uXX
543Please respect copyright.PENANAYm4yyIxy6N
看見那道身影終於遠離了門口,小夏放下書本,用手指試著將嘴角往上提,但那也只有很疼,並無助於她增加表情。543Please respect copyright.PENANAmPfqmCH2Db
543Please respect copyright.PENANAD8E2ple2XD
「我在做什麼……」543Please respect copyright.PENANAwhexQrSZse
意識過來時,才驚覺自己好像做了什麼蠢事,於是趕緊放回書本,想去學校的其他地方透氣。543Please respect copyright.PENANAqrxxMD8Uvd
543Please respect copyright.PENANAKVLlNt5aa6
「啊!小夏~」543Please respect copyright.PENANAyU60wjcWIS
這回從背後叫住小夏的是搬著箱子剛爬上七樓的木每。543Please respect copyright.PENANAvqdhb54kcL
543Please respect copyright.PENANATm5xlCwtet
「木每小姐,我來幫忙吧!」543Please respect copyright.PENANAaXH76WvyhP
試著接過箱子,卻發現重量比想像來的重許多倍,完全不像是眼前的少女可以輕鬆搬運如空箱的程度。543Please respect copyright.PENANAr9Xg6cbmQV
543Please respect copyright.PENANAdxH81qVj4K
「小夏沒問題嗎?還是我來吧?」543Please respect copyright.PENANA3HrAepTYHb
看著對方腳步踉蹌,木每在一旁不安地問道。543Please respect copyright.PENANAg4F4X4x8iJ
543Please respect copyright.PENANA5Su40Oa60l
「沒事,箱子裡的是?」543Please respect copyright.PENANA4zSPRLnEIF
根據雙手預估,這紙箱少說也有60公斤,身旁的木每竟然能不動聲色的將其搬來七樓使小夏非常吃驚,上了不到半層的樓梯,開始可以感受到身體發熱。543Please respect copyright.PENANAmDFhJQm119
543Please respect copyright.PENANALFBHwGy2MV
「母親給的一些額外作業喔!已經和老師溝通好可以使用魔藥教室了。小夏要不要也來……啊!不能找打手……。那要不要在一旁陪我呢?」543Please respect copyright.PENANAHT0BdYf2pU
看著對方不知是點頭還是超出負荷地顫抖,木每也就都當做同意了,畢竟看他這個樣子,到了教室也要休息好一陣子才能重新活動吧?543Please respect copyright.PENANADrq6XcG6cX
543Please respect copyright.PENANA4SEII1H6Dj
到了教室,小夏果然如木每所預想,放下箱子,便在附近的椅子坐下後就暫時無法動彈了,好似被無形的繩子綁在椅子上一般。一旁的木每用大釜煮著熱水,將箱子裡的材料一一拿出來做處理。543Please respect copyright.PENANAWpKcfffAU0
543Please respect copyright.PENANAXqqqwruqp1
「小夏對魔藥有興趣嗎?」543Please respect copyright.PENANAu5QZJneC7Q
看著對方雖然非常疲累,卻還是睜大眼觀察著木每的一舉一動,使她覺得有點有趣。543Please respect copyright.PENANAow4H33AIdK
543Please respect copyright.PENANAMWI7dWWYC9
「……」543Please respect copyright.PENANAaArkQMVoXw
看來是累得說不出話,小夏只是點了點頭。木每笑了笑,並開始為小夏講課。聲音溫柔平緩,眼皮也越來越沉重。543Please respect copyright.PENANAqJMo6sYN9B
543Please respect copyright.PENANAyhcbo4uxEc
醒來時,眼前是一片森林,她的身體自己動了起來,往森林裡走,一直到一間木屋前,她並不知道這是何處,但她對木屋感覺十分熟悉,很自然的推開門,走了進去。543Please respect copyright.PENANA4RFHpOYZdK
木屋中的壁爐正在燃燒著,木製桌子上頭有花瓶,裡頭插著幾朵紫陽花,她湊進,可以聞到一點芳香。543Please respect copyright.PENANAMFGDpWCHAP
543Please respect copyright.PENANA3qpeYKrPvo
而在桌子那端看過去,可以看見廚房,廚房裡有個大鍋釜,她過去仔細瞧,發覺裡頭有一些液體,不知是什麼作用,看起來像是藥水。543Please respect copyright.PENANAFhf3ll183j
543Please respect copyright.PENANAyoJZ31xlen
這個木屋似乎有兩層樓,她看著樓梯一會,決定上樓探索,走進了二樓的房間。543Please respect copyright.PENANAW8Umpuezy3
543Please respect copyright.PENANA1ITh8oMrKG
那是一間乾淨整齊的臥房,有一張單人床,還有衣櫃等,裝潢相當齊全,而這些東西加深了她對這裡的熟悉感,好像她曾經在這裡生活過。543Please respect copyright.PENANAJxza757VO4
543Please respect copyright.PENANAJuHYok0Zg2
一櫃旁有一面著衣鏡,樣子相當特別,是書本的造型,鏡面的部分就像一顆眼睛。543Please respect copyright.PENANA6h38THbnka
543Please respect copyright.PENANABS2melwd0E
而她想起了書本的造型好像在城堡那時見過,就是伯特特地帶出城堡那本。543Please respect copyright.PENANAfsHgcZfVK4
543Please respect copyright.PENANAlQpljRXLUJ
「啊!」543Please respect copyright.PENANAqjYT4OiCH8
小夏驚醒,原來那都是夢境,但她現在滿腦子都是想要解開那本書的迷團。543Please respect copyright.PENANAlVjHR1poA1
543Please respect copyright.PENANAyRJnlPkWxq
雖然只是一場夢,但她猜想,也許那本書與她的身份有所關連。543Please respect copyright.PENANAVcL7HjbOps
543Please respect copyright.PENANAf47ohsBRPF
「小夏?」543Please respect copyright.PENANAWdyNiRlF8Y
木每站在小夏面前,似乎正想著如何喚醒她,而四周的材料及釜裡的藥水則不見蹤影。543Please respect copyright.PENANAz0meaMIikz
543Please respect copyright.PENANAFxLBvKCaJD
「我沒事。抱歉!我去確認一下。」543Please respect copyright.PENANAEohqqjDaWk
留下滿頭問號的木每,小夏用最快的速度跑進伯特的房間,而那本書正好放在伯特的桌上,淡淡地發著黃色的光芒。543Please respect copyright.PENANAdzXG3V8sGs
543Please respect copyright.PENANAhjAu11xQfx
而早就在房裡休息的伯特,一邊把玩著奧斯頓送的水晶,看見小夏慌忙進來,他困惑的看著。543Please respect copyright.PENANAEi0p0C6FJd
543Please respect copyright.PENANAIuyseDKfyS
「怎麼了?」543Please respect copyright.PENANAEK5I6zGCXG
伯特從躺著變成坐著,在床上看向她。543Please respect copyright.PENANAjQpesj9giz
「書借我一下。」543Please respect copyright.PENANAF16CfDh1oB
小夏說完,也沒等伯特同意,就將書本拿了起來。543Please respect copyright.PENANAnwusoJXyv7
543Please respect copyright.PENANApb2CWuPZcr
書封面的眼睛發著光,但對她沒有任何反應,小夏翻開了書本,逐頁檢查,終於看到了一頁,標題寫著「魔女的木屋」。543Please respect copyright.PENANATG327BjXuv
543Please respect copyright.PENANA2UFftNKyP5
木屋的樣子就跟她夢裡的一樣,就在她思考著兩者間的秘密,那頁發出了極強的光。543Please respect copyright.PENANAHSDXQEpHpY
543Please respect copyright.PENANAe6FD9MR3o3
「小夏!」543Please respect copyright.PENANAQJ241vpTdW
只聽伯特焦急的大喊她的名字,那之後,小夏已經身處在木屋前。543Please respect copyright.PENANAdWQHK7lHod
543Please respect copyright.PENANAwecAdJmwJR
她隨著夢境的劇情進入木屋探索,最終找到了鏡子,她伸手觸摸,鏡子裡逐漸顯現出影像,是伯特的臉,而伯特身後是他的房間。543Please respect copyright.PENANALnK8bJ4V5K
543Please respect copyright.PENANAxzFkPA63bE
木屋就在書本裡,而鏡子就是書封上的眼睛,這一切都串連起來了。543Please respect copyright.PENANADAkHc4NN1v
543Please respect copyright.PENANAKt7GFOKrDP
「伯特,聽的見嗎?」543Please respect copyright.PENANAFbMFjPhbp5
「聽的見喔!小夏你還好嗎?」543Please respect copyright.PENANAN1urLtiuS0
543Please respect copyright.PENANA5Ypeg9oFae
兩人處在不同的世界,卻得以交談,小夏覺得甚是有趣。543Please respect copyright.PENANA5UHukFaTt9
543Please respect copyright.PENANAmQmV1KEp8l
「我沒事喔。」543Please respect copyright.PENANAn3IWvnj8gI
接著,小夏對著鏡子輕輕的,唸出腦海中浮出的咒語。543Please respect copyright.PENANAFdzOlNMORX
543Please respect copyright.PENANAYSXh3if17R
書本再次發光,這次,小夏是回到了書外的世界,她也發現了,似乎那書本只對她有所反應。543Please respect copyright.PENANADQxX7Y02MH
543Please respect copyright.PENANA02Ot3S6oDa
「這本書可以暫時給我保管嗎?」543Please respect copyright.PENANACWrOf5uNNZ
小夏向伯特要求,而對方爽快答應。543Please respect copyright.PENANAFApbsxc87v
543Please respect copyright.PENANAFNRwcR65Wb
夜晚,伯特那房的人都沉沉睡去,書桌上的書本發出光亮,也無人發覺。543Please respect copyright.PENANAhxhbHPIJIq
