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。329Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡClvS6E2my2
329Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6Yfu0YjeQY
二郎鬆開手，任湯花帶著驕傲氣焰將紅色徽章塞回口袋。329Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrcj3VMyKEx
329Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡewzwjZV0cp
「妳……」他仍舊無法理解，「都高級了還偷我們的東西？」329Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnGe8D4HPsg
329Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIY6J7ppeZM
「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。」329Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEgfNnp4DKK
329Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmHxL1pduzu
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？」329Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuviF2fjoMo
329Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjyRjr3fNNc
「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。」329Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCFd5eCG8Nk
329Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHZhKce4dAf
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——」329Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡebbz5wYkoN
329Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7uklkNcxLp
「幹嘛？你們兩個大男人難不成要搜我的身嗎？」329Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjeButQ3LDQ
329Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjS3hk5xZEz
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！」329Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlyVF0lMDzQ
329Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqOqeEgJW7d
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。329Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbeoQWaaNqV
329Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1xphzIFaxf
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。329Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbr2NEgYtt1
329Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH1wiUzUpNz
應該沒關係，不要碰到身體，只檢查那個的話應該沒關係吧？329Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuOAI4olx6j
329Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDdcPL627e6
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——329Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT4xYk5gQH2
329Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv8FdB1nbzL
二郎及時握住哈吉爾手腕。329Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk4sb7zI9gy
329Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbBrDprAIGk
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。」329Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXugA5ePcDr
329Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpavXvr7U2Q
「二郎，你……」哈吉爾難以置信。329Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ62F6cyNK9F
329Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡasrTGybVcb
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……329Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl0zuSA3nWx
329Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1dhDrZPf4W
「呵，變態。」她冷哼。329Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNKxYpeh67a
329Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBz2sKXhdIF
「妳在想什麼啊？我有說是我要搜嗎？」329Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwxSAqfTIyD
329Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxoLe3xMohq
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。329Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ5rNexNfiH
329Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgiDjlU4Kyn
「在和梨出來以前妳可別想跑。」
329Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡookOsSTSQV
329Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiJyPijldh0
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。329Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6bRyIBUA6h
329Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSpBFtVgYbU
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。329Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvNbOAy9yMZ
329Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCj0FGzaYvZ
時間流逝地緩慢。329Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxMc5Po2ATl
329Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWraq8srzJt
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。329Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX3UsOLJNhf
329Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1zV8W3SaFF
「和梨是不是泡得有點久啊？」哈吉爾有些擔心。329Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqiQG2wauYO
329Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYuAeenCa1S
「她不是說第一次泡溫泉嗎？應該是玩瘋了吧。」329Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBpgCbjYjnW
329Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC16elmpK9J
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？329Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡokemCREZ0i
329Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcqaClNhz1T
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。329Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPydp14PC2w
329Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0gCZoBSI76
「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。329Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyf0WaJ3LYf
329Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcRrJMjNW6A
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。329Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrvHuk2mTZJ
329Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBvBCmFCfhx
看那賊笑肯定是想趁機開溜或藏東西吧？二郎才不會上當。329Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW8bPHyBKQT
329Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡengvx7mq3o
「不行！別以為我不知道妳想幹嘛。」329Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdSPSNKHxwa
329Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOtrKYMxHnR
「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。」329Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ61i3MALQ68
329Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWVBto8QKVx
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。329Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPfpLJeLDoz
329Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxdNECWFK2A
「唉……」但為了隊友他只好妥協，「妳去看看吧。」329Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkb3Uo8IfRK
329Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfG6covUNKb
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。329Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiWq6CjFyuO
329Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡofNK9XaOMX
「然後哈吉爾，我們要跟著進到女更衣室的湯區門口前。」329Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡppajtO4DUK
329Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2WBDH0t1Hb
「認、認真嗎？！」329Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTbKHuSIzBt
329Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRw7XG1tCdj
「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。」
329Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2DVxToUxTZ
「我還是想問……我們這樣做真的好嗎？」329Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJugoH57m6k
329Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrZ7zWQKNl5
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。」329Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrndGWt18nu
329Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZXJBA6HmuU
「我也沒有雜念啊！」應該吧。329Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDxb6AXGycN
329Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxeVyZohVVB
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？」329Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsa3DMvBXtn
329Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ38gTDdq6mv
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。329Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkpeCdhjMvw
329Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjwP3zmunoh
一秒、兩秒......五秒過去了依然鴉雀無聲。329Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtvjqumUIlh
329Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXRLtzJqOZq
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。329Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5qsHoHjlmf
329Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJApzI7CFTb
「喂，聽到的話回應一下好嗎！」湯花的口氣明顯變嚴肅。329Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAguqBHnaKX
329Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpNr7QD8yKf
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。329Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHaAYE95Rlw
329Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEi2mLmRcit
但沒回應就另當別論了。329Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXLOkC1scqv
329Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVIxeGc2gaQ
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。329Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrgwsXxp6mV
329Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbXrgdexvKa
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。329Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgerYUpGeyv
329Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡExczfwB6fm
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。329Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8PV8gC7Iz1
329Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWs2EPeRSkU
「這裡」可是她的家，不是可以隨便死人的地方。329Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxRCDk0exOk
329Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ1Jdl6LUxZ
「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。329Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhN7hWEya5p
329Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM0mOjDNQGK
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。329Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXVr9Fj5uuT
329Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡygdM1DzNpY
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。329Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKoWRDXR4Ke
329Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnWLccEcyJQ
這根本不是摔倒這麼簡單的事。329Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUJ77yJhtNV
329Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUHovYoHe5P
「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。329Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqCJKeYvqd6
329Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡliNWqorveH
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。329Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3fs4AxUgYX
329Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf7VbACBsjO
「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……」329Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl57Kb3fv94
329Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp59hin3jOF
什麼？329Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD7K27BLmUs
329Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5tquN2itCX
湯花愣住，才赫然想起和梨泡湯前一直跟她說聽見哭聲。329Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVEPdu09YqU
329Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFbYm2OvyO9
她真以為那是白靈才不管的，因為白靈不會攻擊任何人。329Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF98pW1jJeP
329Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgLcQeciWMn
「湯花，女湯這幾天不開放，我懷疑裡面有怪物。」329Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmDNYjxeAio
329Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDAgbFsA0rB
她忽然想起父親幾天前曾說過的話。329Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoMyh5hcMAa
329Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQrTcAwimlR
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。329Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9mEqrMkMfw
329Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW2eZFcRsjy
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。329Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRKkFHGj0t3
329Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡni70pTUfJD
「真的有怪物……」329Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRnupnmIDuP
329Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9439rNrmbW
看著和梨滿身傷痕的憔悴樣，她才驚覺自己錯了。329Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg7V3ZrdP0p
329Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNDD9W8qyru
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。329Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXqWP2LYBBn
329Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH7Xam9Cv6n
漣漪悄悄晃動著。
