這簡直太荒謬了，以為罪證確鑿卻是一場空。先不說竟然不小心與比自己厲害許多的人做對，真的槓上了不知道會有什麼下場，這就算了，現在看起來只像是自己在無理取鬧罷了。378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGnRLF87c27
378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMV1sANpai0
二郎鬆開手，任湯花帶著驕傲氣焰將紅色徽章塞回口袋。378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyepIspCdN6
378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3oZPYVRNBi
「妳……」他仍舊無法理解，「都高級了還偷我們的東西？」378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9Qrf8cnl2j
378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsBzTasvjyK
「天啊，都這樣了你還認為東西不見是我偷的嗎？」湯花的浮誇程度明顯是在責怪對方了，她扶著額頭，隨後無力垂下手，切換成警告意味濃厚的低沉嗓音，「我告訴你們，我們做生意的最講求誠信，敢隨便栽贓人試試看。」378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMSe0vhDqMD
378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡruzB0A7nwK
都講到這個份上了——而且湯花的氛圍轉變也頗讓人害怕，完美詮釋了何謂翻臉比翻書還快——哈吉爾不安地靠近二郎耳邊輕問，「你確定真的不是自己弄丟嗎？」378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUcfK1v6tJf
378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi3lKrYJPZ4
「什麼？哈吉爾你這傢伙真的是遇到女人就弱掉了啊！」二郎不敢相信連同伴都開始懷疑自己，小聲咕噥回道：「……我沒有證據，但肯定是她沒錯。」378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCtHXRYrRYV
378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgLDc69ESFM
你要不要聽一下自己在說什麼？這樣我要怎麼幫你啊？哈吉爾愣了半晌後開口，「那麼……我覺得東西應該還在她身上。如果是我的話，我肯定會藏在——」378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgmzi8DOTuV
378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvN47mIbNGk
「幹嘛？你們兩個大男人難不成要搜我的身嗎？」378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡESR0DWQXvp
378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqSysHXH8Dd
別的先不說，湯花就屬聽力特別好了。她雙手大剌剌敞開，「來啊，摸啊！要搜就搜徹底一點，摸啊！」378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡObd1lNystH
378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGr9QRwmHFV
她咄咄逼人的語氣就像後頭的汽車喇叭，逼人不自覺催緊油門。378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtm89RHiQWN
378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgzfYLPCUfz
哈吉爾明明完全沒有那個意思，卻被湯花的口氣嚇得抬手，彷彿要往前伸，又被自己理智給拉回。他只好朝二郎求救，可是後者只顧瞪著湯花，根本沒注意到哈吉爾無助的眼神。378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsh5P14MGmq
378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡghujKQ8sVI
應該沒關係，不要碰到身體，只檢查那個的話應該沒關係吧？378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXb5M6ex4eb
378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU2WuL1VcL7
在內心天使與惡魔的激烈拉扯後哈吉爾開始伸手，魔法師的魔爪正緩緩靠近湯花傲人的胸脯——378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMFM5X2Wm2T
378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMtXaLeCNXx
二郎及時握住哈吉爾手腕。378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRv7JLgVIJ5
378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqhBg0ecK7D
沿著藍色武士服袖口向上望去，他正對著湯花露出得逞的賊笑：「妳自己說的哦，我們會徹·底·檢·查·一·遍。」378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp8dkponX0N
378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2QMEcOlpjd
「二郎，你……」哈吉爾難以置信。378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT8hmpAkNy0
378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe0kXginU0A
當然，身為當事人的湯花也是震驚，她就是仗著對方會被自己氣勢嚇得退縮才如此大膽，完全沒料到二郎竟然……378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ79W14DDDvt
378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeQjVgsUg4v
「呵，變態。」她冷哼。378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi4ft7rwSlo
378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRWhlzJTYSs
「妳在想什麼啊？我有說是我要搜嗎？」378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE056tXttTt
378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXqB0ytm8Ji
蛤？湯花一臉懵逼，仔細一瞧才發現二郎的目光其實不在自己身上，而是她身後的紅色布簾。378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyqpX42O2cV
378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3puTuWWohl
「在和梨出來以前妳可別想跑。」
378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzHqzYKVoxn
378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaEXV6Gm11L
等待和梨的這段期間哈吉爾已經幫二郎的手治療得差不多了。378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5dhnYRvozc
378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkntDww07e5
以防湯花把偷來的東西藏匿在別的地方，他們也把整個肉眼可見之處全都搜刮了一遍，翻箱倒櫃到都快誤認自己才是強盜了，卻是一無所獲。378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq0nkIqridl
378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyq4IqxP9vA
時間流逝地緩慢。378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡac9L3G3UvW
378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF85qEKa0hb
斑駁白牆上的掛鐘滴答作響，比起音響傳出的輕音樂，已經無事可做坐在大廳休息的他們更在意秒針移動的速度。378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwzoLJlZUIy
378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK2yMQNj926
「和梨是不是泡得有點久啊？」哈吉爾有些擔心。378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYuwQoV3DJP
378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVf7jCrBmwJ
「她不是說第一次泡溫泉嗎？應該是玩瘋了吧。」378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf8oyEgh7JJ
378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMTelfZyM1z
掐指一算可足足過了一個小時，普通游泳就算了，40度的溫度不適合泡那麼久，和梨又是一個人待在裡面，要是滑倒撞到頭了怎麼辦？378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoEZQE8bB4w
378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz7KIPSdk3f
哈吉爾差點就自告奮勇說要進去檢查狀況了，突然發現好像不太適合，欲言又止。378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2qpexTEwbs
378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEn81pokn3Z
「既然擔心的話那就讓我去看看吧。」抓到機會的湯花開心極了。378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoKEbzW9cnq
378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvZwlGqztJ0
雖然能理解哈吉爾的心情，但二郎覺得又不是消失個半天一天，也許泡著泡著太舒服就睡著了也說不定啊？而且這很像和梨會做的事。378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbrVBbF7Ecf
378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtc4KmI8xaf
看那賊笑肯定是想趁機開溜或藏東西吧？二郎才不會上當。378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ42jAnIAztD
378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSgync8vqRO
「不行！別以為我不知道妳想幹嘛。」378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbx943f5f74
378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡASbgzTHAJH
「因為你把我關在這的關係，這段時間我都沒辦法進去巡視泡湯區，要是溫度不小心上升到人體無法負荷的程度，你朋友可能就……」湯花故意舉起拇指在脖子前做一個割喉的動作，「溫水煮青蛙囉。」378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbrNIQz20Ef
378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8dzwG1k3nm
看一旁哈吉爾都快衝出去了，二郎暗自吐槽他不夠了解和梨，那傢伙就算變成青蛙肯定也是那種跳來跳去最煩的青蛙。378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDVMQ2w5Paw
378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzL2xAZxVgT
「唉……」但為了隊友他只好妥協，「妳去看看吧。」378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdO05FX70Kk
378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxTOm9FgepJ
看見湯花隨即露出孩子般的興奮表情，二郎立刻補槍，「但是！妳進去必須大喊和梨的名字。」這樣和梨就能聽聲音立即監視湯花的一舉一動，避免她把贓物偷藏起來。378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkd7YH3EGPp
378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvzsgKZGI5K
「然後哈吉爾，我們要跟著進到女更衣室的湯區門口前。」378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFBhxmk2bZg
378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcB43jZeOHR
「認、認真嗎？！」378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡykmQ7MW7Q1
378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlrYSpjJmOp
「要盯緊這傢伙不能讓她有一個人獨處的機會。」二郎解釋，為了抓犯人他還真是用盡心思，「反正沒有要進池區，看不到啦！你就當作我們要當和梨的保鑣好了。」
378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvLeK5KBumL
「我還是想問……我們這樣做真的好嗎？」378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWdKSNcJ66v
378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSlmAB7qbIo
哈吉爾戰戰兢兢走進女子更衣室，明知道沒有人卻還是東張西望，腳下吱吱作響的老舊木板令他繃緊神經，卻只換來二郎一句「良心不安你就出去嘛，反正我心無雜念。」378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ343iPYaSY
378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpdAe01ik9E
「我也沒有雜念啊！」應該吧。378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU7tU86wDCH
378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8kKLGQMLfp
走在前方的湯花拉開毛玻璃門，斜眼瞥見自己果然被兩人監視著，悻悻然大喊：「和梨！妳還要泡多久？」378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPKvQ1mR017
378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX9mKaVnGqu
叩咚！造景竹筒的水填滿而垂落，聲音迴盪，卻不見任何人回應。378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkYJu4XDL8q
378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv5mxN8wMnQ
一秒、兩秒......五秒過去了依然鴉雀無聲。378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9HknakmCIl
378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7sMEHcmOB9
二郎與哈吉爾面面相覷，擠眉弄眼用表情問著現在是什麼情況。378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡikxmzOsSNx
378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEbD757b1MJ
「喂，聽到的話回應一下好嗎！」湯花的口氣明顯變嚴肅。378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0yJZNPnuBd
378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRg83k1ebjg
泡湯超過一小時不是什麼太嚴重的事情，她見過許多老阿公老阿嬤待在熱水裡兩三個小時都沒感覺。378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡziqAWdqTYc
378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSYaxUrQApD
但沒回應就另當別論了。378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO5aIrU3Sid
378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKxegsCoyhK
溫泉是讓人放鬆休息的地方，但不代表絕對安全，不然他們也不會限制三歲以下孩童禁止進入，與父親相依為命的湯花更不會在湯屋營業時間被綁在這裡只為了定期巡視女湯。378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGUuktTMN3s
378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoaHa1GK0PW
客人可能滑倒、可能因溫差過大而休克，意外總是暗藏在生活周遭。378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG6IWkFnfNw
378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdaVrZ7wl4y
人們是死是活湯花其實也不是很在意，但她唯獨不容許有人在這裡發生三長兩短。378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrUC5elFrEU
378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQeYaaxXMQG
「這裡」可是她的家，不是可以隨便死人的地方。378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSJYLpHpEAs
378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0qTmPYmfXJ
「別鬧了！快回答我！」湯花喊著，慢慢步入水蒸氣瀰漫的空間之中，她的聲音在容納五六個池子的諾大場地內迴盪。378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJGJi3hKcd1
378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuDarrloVKw
她左顧右盼仔細尋找，最終在淋浴區隱隱約約看見倒臥在地的人影。378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhXHh5ri8te
378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMxkbHJ5NkK
她立刻跑過去，果不其然發現和梨趴在地面，右手指穿進塑膠小凳子中間洞孔，看起來是要拿椅子做些什麼。摔落在地的蓮蓬頭上有敲擊的痕跡，和梨的肩膀、手肘處皆有瘀青及擦傷。378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKGPtwaxMIB
378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJGcQOgU9kT
這根本不是摔倒這麼簡單的事。378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM2vIt9Rfwn
378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnxW86YV1kL
「喂！妳趕快醒醒！」湯花激動搖著她，和梨腳上有個什麼突然抽走，咻——地縮回一旁熱泉裡頭。378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxgCUt1uNFe
378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTDesy7a5SP
雖然速度很快，但湯花確定那個東西很像透明觸手，卻不知道到底是什麼。378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsj8a9mhpO3
378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4sfRgkVXrh
「嗚……」和梨呻吟，終於睜開雙眼，她皺著眉似乎不大舒服，「是妳……」她又昏沉個幾秒才開口：「白靈……都這麼兇的嗎……」378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRsF7i6833T
378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN1cRvGvydq
什麼？378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡya6p4DX2CA
378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdghygFrhew
湯花愣住，才赫然想起和梨泡湯前一直跟她說聽見哭聲。378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFAwrkzPjTV
378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxxFvVmOkSk
她真以為那是白靈才不管的，因為白靈不會攻擊任何人。378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGHliLXaiMG
378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5r6URG5zvt
「湯花，女湯這幾天不開放，我懷疑裡面有怪物。」378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbhFxyYJ6KG
378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRJv3L1t1zz
她忽然想起父親幾天前曾說過的話。378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQvOKeefut5
378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlN4alcRpfz
父親說好像聽見小孩的聲音，但沒看到人，後來湯花跟著他一起找了好幾次，還是什麼也沒發現。378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCCu3pFjHk5
378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq3wEfJRdPc
為了以防萬一，父親堅持要去張貼任務請冒險者來解決，湯花只覺得他大驚小怪，明明什麼證據也沒有，都嫌最近生意不好了還繼續亂花錢，那筆任務的費用給她拿去揮霍還比較值得。378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOr51iZVbiV
378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoqYL7nyCSg
「真的有怪物……」378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyGGPqzGlg3
378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBNGlBBTTAe
看著和梨滿身傷痕的憔悴樣，她才驚覺自己錯了。378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsW5ffJ19Tt
378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSp7gLXmovb
倒抽一口氣後，她不安地看向剛才透明觸手縮回的那個池子。378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡflDvfn5gTo
378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFyAUXqaMto
漣漪悄悄晃動著。
