「為什麼丟下我消失了那麼久……我一直都在等你呀！」364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjZRjBCaQpu
364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡff1ldBEpK0
二郎從回憶中返回。364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuFoveK7GK8
364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc0fA9aAlKN
現在，在史塔特蘭東北方的邊界出口，藍髮女子在他身後大喊著。364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCK2frLBWRa
364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡayVOM3OaTj
「為什麼不轉頭看看我！我好想你呀！」364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXy1tuyQmtj
364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4quvfDQy2Q
他永遠也不會忘記那鈴鐺般悅耳的柔聲是來自於誰——他的初戀。364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGIEDCTtnkz
364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeLCNpPI0Fx
看來身分無法隨便唬嚨過去了。364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKFfinf9ZYl
364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtwj5fjPhKe
抱著那份難以言喻的複雜情緒，二郎轉過身，表情是前所未見的尷尬及彆扭，但旁人無法從他臉上判斷內心想法。364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDWahU4e4Gg
364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyqPqr28Xnz
「天啊！二郎，你認識那位大正妹嗎？」準備目送兩位冒險者離開的傳教士拉爾不可置信。364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJNhPSYxiu6
364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFv43REhIKi
和梨倒是沒有拉爾那般雀躍，畢竟身為隊友，她有發現二郎心底的那份詭異情緒。364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7ItK1l9pBx
364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiXrlywozKe
這種八點檔般的相認橋段代表著什麼，誰會不曉得？深怕好夥伴留在這城鎮讓自己獨自離開，和梨握緊衣襬，「二郎……」364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKXIV3eOSv0
364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhRmimW67u7
安娜幾乎沒有什麼改變，臉還是一樣精緻、身材也依舊維持，頂多就頭髮更長了些。二郎倒是比起以前長高不少，身材也更精壯了。364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT4zHrJRoNo
364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSDX0lCMYx5
這兩年來二郎從沒忘記過曾在史塔特蘭創造的回憶。364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAIo2hpxoFU
364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1WN7dltdgN
史丁的敦敦教誨、瑪爾斯口是心非的關懷、以及安娜的那份溫柔，全都刻骨銘心。364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlMzpFK0NzJ
364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXIV375qdGL
「安娜女士……」從對方眼中接受到想念的電波，二郎不自覺呢喃。364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWMewFAWm1H
364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYfGltRFXpl
「你這個笨蛋，笨蛋笨蛋笨蛋……」安娜奔近，小巧身軀靠在二郎的懷裡，咬緊唇不停捶打前方厚實胸膛，「為什麼一聲不響突然消失？我一直都很擔心你呀！史丁他們總說這很正常……到底哪裡正常了？」364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpnpa3bnZ18
364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAp6cqOX7KG
感受到胸膛上的規律打擊停止，二郎下意識低頭，安娜的頭頂正散發微弱顫抖。364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3aJO6ZmyMO
364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY3p7L1h11L
「就因為我是個高齡老太婆嗎？嗚……」安娜揪緊二郎的衣襟，開始啜泣。364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9vxAZzOb4P
364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYYGmr50VWL
……不是的。364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKshui4VvBi
364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVc8xoLqCPW
這回二郎忍住情緒了，他沒有擁抱回去，而是將手放在安娜的雙肩上，微蹲下身與對方平行而視。364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzz9odj8Fcv
364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMvv27Vpc5x
他搖了搖頭，「安娜女士才不是什麼高齡老太婆呢。」364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT1oepjl8uJ
364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8mr8gpurkV
「明明就是！很多人都是這樣，在知道我的真實年齡後態度都出現微妙的變化！」安娜哽咽的同時淚水奪眶而出，「那時候我裝傻說忘記跟你自我介紹，其實只是我一直刻意沒有提起而已……」364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlXbC25DCdF
364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcMXl0LcBBc
天知道總是成熟穩重的她究竟是承受了多少打擊才選擇隱瞞，更別說她自己在整形前又受過多大刺激了。364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBiuF1vkCpz
364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWcC6XifXxQ
「就連瑪爾斯跟史丁也是，在知道我的真實身份後就再也不叫我安娜了，總是畢恭畢敬地尊稱我『女士』……」364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgOXw4fP1hJ
364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyzU116V8Be
……不是的，不是這樣的。364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0x1C8T3x5M
364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl4qDiScvSd
與在枯燥武士村時不同，和大家相處的回憶實在是太快樂了，二郎沒有遺忘過任何事，一件也沒有。364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2tZneTVILE
364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1rFDTDE28f
史丁曾說過，他與瑪爾斯兩人雖然是不同時期加入的，卻都是以在蜂鳥接受整形作為契機。364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZXukFhiD5f
364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN0Xr5Sg2pR
起初看起來只是個可愛可愛的小不點的安娜，他們完全不當一回事，雖然美若天仙，但也頂多當成吉祥物或美女活招牌的存在，自然不會用什麼敬語。364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ3UU6vkuP2
364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAEtMUqk4lf
一直到手術完成、復原、拆線，所有過程都結束之後「院長」才現身，他們對安娜的敬重也是因為得知對方身份及實力，這跟年紀一點關係也沒有。364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh7npSKGSuN
364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMfsqcZROdZ
「他們之所以如此稱呼，只是因為打從心底尊敬您而已。」……就如同我，但二郎還是把這話吞了回去。364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡalM7HcG71y
364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0iQhf8csLH
「那你呢？」364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLQC2LzVbhj
364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJHeQWk2H4Z
消失了兩年又會是因為什麼，安娜可是為此耿耿於懷。364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt1TyqZXOq8
364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuSjkZErB3k
「二郎你離開的理由，難道不是覺得我很可怕嗎？」364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqBlIt56a5t
364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsK41f1JPBr
……才不是！這怎麼可能！364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxMDPWu0gmo
364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHd1OnbWC5Z
二郎不斷壓抑情感，漲紅的臉頰與耳朵透露出他快要爆發的羞恥心，放在對方雙肩的手握緊，安娜感受到肩上傳來羸弱抖動。364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2M2ME4R6bS
364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8MHVrpDKn4
一旁的和梨與拉爾更是發現二郎散發出陣陣淡藍色魔法光輝，像乾冰的煙霧般飄忽不定。364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjlLUD08y8C
364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8ImKgTEKHv
364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdpD2s1d8vw
「因為……因為……」
364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXTM3jai9b7
364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSphv3yEHBl
史塔特蘭朝東北的方向前進，可以發現周圍的景色從都市文明風格漸漸轉往茂密樹林生態，若不停靠沿途城鎮，徒步走上個五六天就能抵達魔法之都柯吉梅。364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoHujBGcdc5
364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoDa5P5uh3F
不過，搭上計程車就不一樣了。364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpmMlyyIZic
364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcEeB6qTYmK
在納爾拉蒂特大陸上有一種專門在城鎮與城鎮間運載乘客的運輸工具，黃色的廂型車體，利用魔法代替引擎驅動。364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX8kU5s6O5Y
364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQzi1l1S4a5
雖然車費算不上便宜，但以省下來的時間成本來說是值得了。364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWRcetUDedu
364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhcGa8CHF5t
「真想不到二郎你竟然是這麼純情的人，噗哈哈哈哈……」364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡainZI2NQZE
364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmQiLqy0962
回想起不久前的道別現場嘴角就上揚，本因氣氛尷尬才沈默著，過了兩個小時車程和梨終於忍不住笑出來。364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD8WG0yHxF6
364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlMSoDqgJHk
計程車沒有司機，是從站點由站長使用魔法發車的，現在車上就只有他們兩名乘客，和梨講話自然不會克制。364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfxMhilzkIL
364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsBuZLjbWgD
「夠了！別再說了！我把妳踢下車啊！」364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpKpVWRRT5m
364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkvI5Drtvlb
臉上的紅暈至今沒有消退，被這樣一鬧反倒更紅了，二郎真會打開車門把她踢下去也說不定。364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvrVNyyEH03
364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeNTldPfypI
「『因為……我愛妳啊安娜女士！』」和梨學二郎一臉深情並壓低聲音。364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjGNr3KfPqv
364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQcFKINA3jS
「『我也愛你呀二郎……』」再裝成安娜的少女音眨眨眼。364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcxlswBZvvH
364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpmBq7LiDaJ
「『不是家人的愛，是男女情感的那種！』」364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMnYcWJuNXY
364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPDKN3E76KR
「『什……可是人家77歲了，只把二郎當——』」364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj359aS12X3
364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMhMGj6vTTK
「『當孫子？我知道，我當然知道！所以我才會離開，因為我失戀了啊！』」
364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ29yAnrWiF6
砰！
364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8FIZNBFHmh
行駛中的車門被一腳大力踢開，原本還沈浸在角色扮演的白目少女嚇得立刻扳回臉閉嘴，「抱、抱歉。」364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmUaVWboz4b
364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1FIINIlAK4
的確是她玩得過火了，和梨提心吊膽地拍拍隔壁座位二郎的肩想安撫他，也不知道這樣有沒有效果，反正和梨全程只注意著二郎的腳，隨時防範以免被踢下去。364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRx7XGqk3Th
364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOcX0ns5HlO
在疾駛的車內努力伸手把敞開的門關上，確定不會被踢出去後才真的安心。364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAdqFVi6e28
364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmgxtdr4za5
「不過啊，我也想不到二郎你會這樣就放棄。」364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlzoSoSuwBq
364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxpLjfS3bpn
畢竟對方把自己當孫子，就跟對方不把自己當男人是同個道理，只要讓對方意識到自己是個「好對象」就行了不是嗎？364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgpSe50Z9ja
364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtO1PCtVoEw
「……我起初逃回家是因為嚇到沒錯。」二郎靠著車椅背仰頭，長嘆一口氣，「但後來沒有再去找他們是因為我覺得自己沒資格。」364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1EQepWgpA3
364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZQtW92Dum7
「蛤？」364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH0nyzNJaHu
364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfUilDjfZwh
「被當成孫子欸！聽起來就是備受保護的角色，我想要成為能讓安娜女士打從心裡依靠的人。」364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwHuBgMHyt5
364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTJqcoSxWtf
下定決心要變強之後再回來找安娜，二郎開始留守家園埋頭訓練，殊不知原本一頭熱的衝勁過了兩年完全被死氣沈沈的竹林海給澆熄。364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWDjUgXZ9yQ
364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4k4EIE4vrt
其實他時不時會想起蜂鳥的大家，也曾想過乾脆別忍了回去算了，但又想起憧憬的忠勝哥，領悟到自己完全沒變強而受到不小打擊。364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHXgJmA2pw4
364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu2ufxxvbWp
在逐漸自暴自棄的日子裡，他內心一直期盼生活能有什麼變化。364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXjENtcAd10
364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3VA7FQpZLi
直到這位自稱從空島來的瘋女人出現為止。364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6ITWUn14F4
364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9UHMquWabO
「所以我剛剛才沒有留下，我還太弱了。」364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpTTb99aSfU
364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhATr45jdbk
安娜有著77歲的高齡，這也代表她有著數十年的閱歷，這段人生肯定遇過無數厲害的人。364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfSybH8ojTV
364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHmIyRt8V9o
要成為厲害的人其中之一，勢必得踏上這片大陸冒險、閱歷無數才行，不只是為了愛，也是為了夠接近嚮往的表哥。364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCX5ffxxUIe
364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEQJXvUAbqu
所以他剛剛才會拒絕了安娜的挽留，柔情攻勢雖然有用，始終敵不過他的決心。364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeqO4ULeGuf
364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXzRkFoinL4
此時計程車抵達目的地。364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfxiKoXC3mk
364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo645FdRSaz
「也是啦，反正你跟我不一樣，隨時想回去史塔特蘭都可以。」和梨率先下車深個懶腰，說得一副事不關己的樣子。364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5sMGdaaRSI
364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1QXeOSnOtN
柯吉梅與一般城鎮不同，是高聳樹群集結而成的都市森林，沒有車子可以行進的平面道路。364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB1heV6PTUu
364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡziWCeYr4Oc
所有前往柯吉梅的車子都只能開到附近的道路盡頭，剩下的路程冒險者必須依靠腳力抵達。364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEdz5yxG9K8
364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5fiek3o6ea
眼前看似沒有盡頭的綠色景象，與其說是樹林，更像是叢林，大小不一的植被繚繞，蜿蜒向上的粗幹有人為開闢成道路的痕跡，而粗幹更分支出好幾條不同的藤蔓或樹幹道路。364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3b8hpHS5Mk
364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPHVI4DcmAF
一般城鎮的地圖若說是平面，那這裡就是立體了，只靠東西南北來辯路可是一點用也沒有。364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBqyq9bgQvz
364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmp1EcurRcM
好在以前史丁曾為二郎介紹過前往柯吉梅的路標辨識方法，這時派上用場了，雖然記憶薄弱，至少還是有點概念。364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW9sZMYCRPo
364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVyzfb0mT98
二郎走在前頭領隊，撥開擾人的藤蔓、隨時注意腳步避免滑落。364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwGsb9fnXAg
364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpcThDningJ
確定後方有和梨跟著的腳步聲，二郎也不轉頭了，專心帶路，「我早就想問了，妳幹嘛老說自己回不去啊？妳不是首席畢業的菁英嗎？雖然看起來不像。」364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEHcF8p4vvg
364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8MmWnSjIXW
「我不是首席畢業的啊。」364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJymmyh6Qjo
364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz9SEXYSdRy
「什……妳不是出航員嗎？」364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqmfSwTJQev
364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpx11REJyb9
「對啊，但我不是首席畢業……總之發生了一些事。」二郎聽見後頭的和梨難得嘆氣，「不過我回不去是物理上的回不去哦，所以我才在找『越城之翼』這個技能。」364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxv5sY1TxFz
364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6AbZrpIWBL
在逐漸上攀的路途中，他們漸漸可以聽見生物的聲音，不知道是來自於怪物還是其他冒險者，聽不清楚。364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaBbTGX1a7l
364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaFCcKR5UhT
唯一可以確定的是，他們已經深入這片叢林了，感覺過不了多久肯定就能抵達目的地。364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJwnoifIxnp
364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxMw0T5Slj0
「和梨，跟緊我，我朋友說從這個路段開始路途會變得崎嶇。」364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqS72hKTarP
364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSyS6zJDzD6
在某根粗壯樹梢上垂吊著紅色告示牌，上面有著一棵樹的圖案，二郎記得史丁說過在柯吉梅附近的魔法樹林裡看到任何紅色告示牌都要小心。364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFT4bkjn4CV
364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1X1BzpFkhP
雖然在滿是大樹的叢林裡，二郎壓根不知道一棵樹的警告圖代表什麼，總之小心為上就是了。364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLem0wQfyt9
364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH3ZrwYb08T
「放心啦，我都跟緊緊的，才不會像某人突然消失呢。」和梨嘴賤又補上一句，「一消失就是兩年。」364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlbnqlLTW3m
364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD7pELz7gDw
噢！真是夠了！這瘋婆子到底要嘲笑到什麼時候？364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrra7fathMV
364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbskep3vNZy
「喂！妳給我適可而……」364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFjQcuN4zBz
364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTqiH8vhLgC
但正當二郎咬牙切齒地轉過身準備大罵一頓時，他的身後已經空無一人了。

作者雜談：
和梨終於回來了！感覺太久沒有寫她有點把她寫得更白目了XD （但完全就是我平常嘴砲朋友的樣子😩）364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR27aYNUTWM
364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzKK7Qiup6s
幫二郎澄清一下，他沒有嫌棄安娜哦，反而自己是被拒絕的那位😂
安娜真的完全把他當家人，所以他突然離開才會難過成這樣，甚至以為二郎是被自己嚇跑的（嚴格上來說也沒錯XD）
