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。515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0lFnbP0vSw
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡap65duJf9H
二郎鬆開手，任湯花帶著驕傲氣焰將紅色徽章塞回口袋。515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3SSq92rHih
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3D3kUEmQ1v
「妳……」他仍舊無法理解，「都高級了還偷我們的東西？」515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3wbDlKHlE8
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6iTOL622VG
「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。」515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkk3zq0iMA8
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8XUAHjSzkX
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？」515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRJ5q0pD025
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFutdapVdvH
「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。」515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxTpiV1oL0E
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4A31vEpMIh
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——」515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHyAdVgVoJp
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsN2b9rKHsg
「幹嘛？你們兩個大男人難不成要搜我的身嗎？」515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv7aFEl7VWX
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSvLbGDWlio
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！」515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrSLD7ywCdH
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV20M8YrKAh
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。515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqq56Uw4OXV
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT8Jg4NYSG7
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。515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFmF9ATF6M5
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpDoIxOh6Vu
應該沒關係，不要碰到身體，只檢查那個的話應該沒關係吧？515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxM6vLLcNsH
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡunfKrxq0jz
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——515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIv2TnyAdd4
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKzC4CqDjnF
二郎及時握住哈吉爾手腕。515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTLDNisK0Cm
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaxNOeiEMrL
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。」515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTiD1r5pZik
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdQ74D32vkZ
「二郎，你……」哈吉爾難以置信。515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡauTuiISfoy
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkAl1VqV0r0
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……515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxRuWmVmypK
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp0eQvh0UE5
「呵，變態。」她冷哼。515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc90SYBhZFd
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2FBBnQSlTR
「妳在想什麼啊？我有說是我要搜嗎？」515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP6EzovMsiq
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9EyRjmS4sq
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。515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIXjYLkVUEg
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtBGFgHyDwu
「在和梨出來以前妳可別想跑。」
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3PDptHW3qZ
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtVTy5sdfzK
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。515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnTce1zmgMw
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2UMXDrCX28
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。515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3NrhCp5fek
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1Vzsp7KHrx
時間流逝地緩慢。515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXSejOaOAAm
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNm57EbodjL
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。515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1cuPdv0Wgm
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5ngUZpm8dP
「和梨是不是泡得有點久啊？」哈吉爾有些擔心。515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSX3zixCMJg
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc7CfZvabAa
「她不是說第一次泡溫泉嗎？應該是玩瘋了吧。」515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsjAfPfpZRn
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf4tVZmmJQB
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？515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKEj22i6Sap
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD895X5OVqb
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。515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuEk6pJ9KPr
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOf3ng5BS3x
「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。515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ33nkPoJJb3
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2JEDKpTAzZ
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。515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd2zbGQeGFG
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpV6wQ1o2c0
看那賊笑肯定是想趁機開溜或藏東西吧？二郎才不會上當。515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu6PG1Sz8UV
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXOlykSD2Gv
「不行！別以為我不知道妳想幹嘛。」515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMhx9PXZWs2
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs0ZTAS7wnm
「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。」515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVbLrXFkuHN
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD5iKFKg8SS
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。515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡii0t8pOoFk
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ08gX6UO7My
「唉……」但為了隊友他只好妥協，「妳去看看吧。」515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuKkccJrtRW
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeh6AtuHa5Q
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。515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7dzB0xMgHN
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZRgWNTatA2
「然後哈吉爾，我們要跟著進到女更衣室的湯區門口前。」515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCXk8tjFFmG
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8kFBUlbPzt
「認、認真嗎？！」515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQMPa7jH57k
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJD9uJlvP0q
「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。」
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYTn9Qu5JPP
「我還是想問……我們這樣做真的好嗎？」515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3ipluSg9Ff
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVxu7LWC7eh
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。」515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdUUu9SWInx
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP23hqHZUIi
「我也沒有雜念啊！」應該吧。515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOCPkHnxiRK
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbFVKni1XFU
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？」515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn1XW9xS7lD
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyjumYbasxO
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。515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ51auL9t1ni
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMu03Qv3u9t
一秒、兩秒......五秒過去了依然鴉雀無聲。515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrsZywk89De
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKpGV91ZwP2
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。515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcoJS0J3rHf
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvvvTuHcKZZ
「喂，聽到的話回應一下好嗎！」湯花的口氣明顯變嚴肅。515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ32dBZvPn5f
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNvYjVTIL63
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。515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7UzMaSfZJp
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEsbWdwGTBb
但沒回應就另當別論了。515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxRDEigUH47
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQe77fXvdUx
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。515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQgbXqzHjmo
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡytvnhrgaay
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。515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGmAwxAUW2k
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAt6M9kxsHD
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。515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwBB5HoyFlw
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd7USSVwVn6
「這裡」可是她的家，不是可以隨便死人的地方。515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9ESS9nZgI7
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ3O67pFJvl
「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。515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXsu8z2IA6v
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMOA7FV2HA7
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。515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1lnKab2nMK
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzEgspc6KJn
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。515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiH9SdbuHIr
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTZasgz9hTP
這根本不是摔倒這麼簡單的事。515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvIMkHQHz8W
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmAzkSokChl
「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。515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDWxvtXJDiC
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdOjLnGqN63
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。515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxTCRUf5x2n
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrSZsaxkqRY
「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……」515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWTJ4ByliIv
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO7BeinC2yO
什麼？515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPxwpA9MjIo
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAOBoKqw1Fj
湯花愣住，才赫然想起和梨泡湯前一直跟她說聽見哭聲。515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGL2auarE6s
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOJMcXW1RHV
她真以為那是白靈才不管的，因為白靈不會攻擊任何人。515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG4t1Toyz0b
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvpUinYBHfE
「湯花，女湯這幾天不開放，我懷疑裡面有怪物。」515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO7VGdrVBs2
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlcQw6E0Wei
她忽然想起父親幾天前曾說過的話。515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7kouqiz1xk
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7f5s9fc1k0
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。515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWjoXZqzljT
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhXPl4Sz7rR
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。515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡktHJ1Ctxli
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuAfsWYJ1gs
「真的有怪物……」515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaxhvkNPqSh
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpcsGUnWvFE
看著和梨滿身傷痕的憔悴樣，她才驚覺自己錯了。515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnm3ePFIcfO
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT5yJYDjqqO
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。515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8Hwk4KoK2E
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8Cx8AIc0ia
漣漪悄悄晃動著。
