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。355Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR7gBmEco4d
355Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTuLRO593tY
二郎鬆開手，任湯花帶著驕傲氣焰將紅色徽章塞回口袋。355Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIU90ljPuZc
355Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpeQIEP1sog
「妳……」他仍舊無法理解，「都高級了還偷我們的東西？」355Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW0Ow07kxmT
355Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpZq1r5ayKg
「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。」355Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7enOxxJr4z
355Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡezhNxoyTQa
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？」355Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtlLKheBZw8
355Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9jomz7vTdC
「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。」355Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDCVs38fhbm
355Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb1GEQBtnq5
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——」355Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3JTKaUrsxU
355Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwRGdD645xc
「幹嘛？你們兩個大男人難不成要搜我的身嗎？」355Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW89V2UU9lM
355Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡydc61h1dLS
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！」355Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWlMnmRUHTh
355Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFo6bBkGvQ9
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。355Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYxNtNYkqMh
355Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRTZ97pdE41
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。355Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ8P6brq0Bw
355Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPF38Q9nUrr
應該沒關係，不要碰到身體，只檢查那個的話應該沒關係吧？355Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6zhtKg18cV
355Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuSIeJmqTXU
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——355Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZZGkwaIOWJ
355Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbF6K9xA9LM
二郎及時握住哈吉爾手腕。355Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH9fCXNGYIz
355Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ89NbfAz3Nx
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。」355Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7GX7Fm7Ocm
355Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHVo3pOb7EL
「二郎，你……」哈吉爾難以置信。355Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXij6RfizQW
355Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkWHGQr9KlG
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……355Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVcHxwyVb5K
355Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ4piWKjVAx
「呵，變態。」她冷哼。355Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxU9vlGxvtc
355Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlsqCtty27Q
「妳在想什麼啊？我有說是我要搜嗎？」355Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwy2K426DJ4
355Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIWGJ4S8kDA
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。355Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEN8ycd6zkl
355Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDh4d6FDH55
「在和梨出來以前妳可別想跑。」
355Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsuEHB9LFL1
355Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfBdwnVdo2f
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。355Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4IhKJpyYZ7
355Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡie55Nv0hBN
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。355Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaN3o8g2v2A
355Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyquYju8cey
時間流逝地緩慢。355Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2MD7v65yO3
355Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrEVTZ3MdFg
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。355Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuUS4NgMxLB
355Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJwap8zwkcS
「和梨是不是泡得有點久啊？」哈吉爾有些擔心。355Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTizrMnRY1H
355Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa9trckst65
「她不是說第一次泡溫泉嗎？應該是玩瘋了吧。」355Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNz7PfDcZQH
355Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNyaWLH0jfq
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？355Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpM5bCN3lMq
355Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyB3WhsKGJP
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。355Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiMi0VsH9fh
355Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqRvmiZZMdb
「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。355Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2QFAu2DWij
355Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqfwAUSO5Vp
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。355Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUxqS2NlqSk
355Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSOkZBY5HFZ
看那賊笑肯定是想趁機開溜或藏東西吧？二郎才不會上當。355Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbdByT4KniC
355Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVo94oRxGIZ
「不行！別以為我不知道妳想幹嘛。」355Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvQfFoTyM0d
355Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu1rSpDCgFe
「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。」355Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡydEIJed5SB
355Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRsDVwKmyRQ
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。355Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQTcPc93qDM
355Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMOwFYQfgkt
「唉……」但為了隊友他只好妥協，「妳去看看吧。」355Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmuOu1W5CBK
355Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY0hMgYfrbq
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。355Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnLue232RP9
355Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSA8AqoKyxy
「然後哈吉爾，我們要跟著進到女更衣室的湯區門口前。」355Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIYfppja0uQ
355Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpb3MVWVX0j
「認、認真嗎？！」355Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUlzeGVDWQq
355Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkdIgYnGJAx
「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。」
355Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDieAOXvSlL
「我還是想問……我們這樣做真的好嗎？」355Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡngWY4PiuKJ
355Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaLHEgAqkur
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。」355Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFgYs499bNU
355Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiXfinj3S7t
「我也沒有雜念啊！」應該吧。355Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOjms3Uq2Li
355Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTXPMNr2eIh
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？」355Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhDg092XOSR
355Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu05C6jx2i8
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。355Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrfGuaFb8UY
355Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4zWHo6toej
一秒、兩秒......五秒過去了依然鴉雀無聲。355Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjcQflle0RP
355Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx9P9ZUZd8A
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。355Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyQclZSLoN6
355Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwiu9qRKfOt
「喂，聽到的話回應一下好嗎！」湯花的口氣明顯變嚴肅。355Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi3u2OcFG46
355Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUbJsEhvNqt
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。355Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1AAOQImOGT
355Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCDl1SVYt20
但沒回應就另當別論了。355Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwlfXjQZjIv
355Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb7Tz72CrZj
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。355Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi8mPueQC9a
355Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnnQPh3kDVX
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。355Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGxMjWOVuA0
355Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIMq9fZ558q
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。355Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1L6CVpa1jd
355Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXUa6h8w2VM
「這裡」可是她的家，不是可以隨便死人的地方。355Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZCZnnZvZGG
355Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCiHbknGEs9
「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。355Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr6ewjxrPGd
355Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5DCsKtQgF1
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。355Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLQqppJUDwA
355Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiKEoNJN9IJ
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。355Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmI0WAbFI8l
355Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1AfsZ18tDX
這根本不是摔倒這麼簡單的事。355Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡca4NuErCb5
355Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ05m33XhkAv
「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。355Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpun3KbanNP
355Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLnEUgZZVNq
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。355Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ6gD1ruoed
355Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJHpBAxxjcI
「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……」355Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEfYeOPcx1M
355Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡst3JvcGJKh
什麼？355Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzX2aAl2sJ5
355Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdcEqQzyTdY
湯花愣住，才赫然想起和梨泡湯前一直跟她說聽見哭聲。355Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡelkafzdxXQ
355Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqv7uVJvEP9
她真以為那是白靈才不管的，因為白靈不會攻擊任何人。355Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAcQXGn0axa
355Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLAQCM9odba
「湯花，女湯這幾天不開放，我懷疑裡面有怪物。」355Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVcLZuIemhK
355Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWUoeOBPVm2
她忽然想起父親幾天前曾說過的話。355Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpm6toXlm5k
355Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYQEAcqnsT3
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。355Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxZPcc1Mjd8
355Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWazXgdOfKm
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。355Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKp6X0noWfe
355Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0GWOiPuAIB
「真的有怪物……」355Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD4G3SBhOUQ
355Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpaon5iU7tt
看著和梨滿身傷痕的憔悴樣，她才驚覺自己錯了。355Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVAOPz4jq4z
355Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv0qYDoWIt8
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。355Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtwa9T4jSnS
355Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOuXsjaYkbh
漣漪悄悄晃動著。
