始終曆一六三四年夏，時為斯圖希安黑曆四十一代又三年，及婭基昂絲白曆五百零七年，一場圍繞始界三大國的戰爭，終於在艾斯托利克君主紐爾的宣戰下揭開序幕。329Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSe6oKMGQyR

  正式進入戰亂時代，在三大國聯合使用的魔導大學領內，各種小道消息在花海建築群之中流傳，甚至蓋過本來期末考試該有的緊張氣氛。329Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ58vU9XaMct

  自艾斯托利克的騎士團臨時據點被斯圖希安兵圍堵後，那時僥倖脫出、避過斯圖希安軍監察竄進學校範圍的柔伊與克西便是少數仍逗留在校舍裡的學生。329Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOTF8ZZuYys

  房間內，克西攤手坐在沙發上，掐指算起跟隨他走進宿舍的人數，為屋裡突然多出幾個人而抱怨著。然而，當他斜眼看到旁邊低頭不語的貝塔，色心作祟下又刻意靠近她，手臂悄悄伸至她背部，壞笑著道：329Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡByBLEXYUyJ

329Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhf3cfDYf8t
  「你不要碰我！」對於旁邊克西悄然靠近，貝塔隨即對他放出一臉嫌棄，「啪」一聲賞他大記耳光，在手臂觸碰到自己之前把他整個人擊至反方向沙發邊緣。329Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpVfFqzfoiB

  而這邊廂，柔伊則稍為放開對跟前一動不動的人型機巧澤鉭全神貫注的觀察，筆頭戳在下巴思考道：329Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY3viXO0BNq
329Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSojEtc60L0
329Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4FBiG9GYCL
  「派恩哥哥不在了，澤鉭也明顯不是人，那這裡還是只多了貝塔姐姐一個人……啊？」說到這裡，回望正立跟前的澤鉭，柔伊才赫然發覺宿舍房裡似乎缺少了一個人……329Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdiJFU3Fm2g
329Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtAKWaX2xe7
329Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmVb4yRnwdv

329Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ83z0hIkPWT
  察覺到柔伊話語與現實不符，澤鉭總算木訥地開口說話，使得柔伊對他那奇特語氣摸不著頭腦，只好趕忙把對方此言記錄在備忘紙上，並嘗試再對其發問：329Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ77pZK4CcLJ
329Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGuJPu8aV9T
329Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡttYuhkgguT

329Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7Iqwy1rcJT
329Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡztcISodrHb
  此般回應，更是讓柔伊歪起頭顱，不僅不知道對方口中「權限」一詞意思為何，甚至對他整個思考回路都渾然不知，只好再舉筆在紙上擇下疑點。不知不覺地，紙上筆跡漸加密麻，同時記滿目測、行為以至思考上的觀察，只希望能早日了解澤鉭這同被稱為「主神」的存在，助她把派恩從斯圖希安人手上救出。329Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZcSK9IVDZR

  克西掩著臉上被貝塔掌摑而成的大塊紅腫，膝蓋跪到沙發上，探頭望出窗外，兩目漫遊在以往人來人往的庭園裡，期待能目睹以太這目中無人的「高尚存在」與校內不良分子爭論的一幕。329Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3qzFxV0lNP

  「以太……我只怕連他也會離我而去，僅此而已。」見柔伊和克西都分別提及以太，卻又使貝塔心生不安。起初以為繆兒能順便助她救出在斯圖希安軍事基地裡生死未卜的阿爾法，輾轉至今連作為破局曙光的繆兒，如今都被斯圖希安軍隊抓去，留下被列入追緝名單的自己和以太。來到此刻，見以太不在身邊，貝塔實在生怕他會步阿爾法後塵，成為下一個離她而去的人。329Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwPwh85M6TT

  驀然回想，從前天她跟著柔伊和克西來到宿舍房開始，以太就像從沒出現過一般，消失在她的視界裡。也許以太不喜歡與這麼多人同時擠在這狹小的宿舍房裡，所以索性把自己隱藏在空氣之中，免得讓房間變得水泄不通。只是，與他訂下契約、多少能感應對方氣息的自己，卻又感覺不到當下他的氣息存在於這片空間裡。329Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsZkBAz9N2T

  克西正跳下沙發阻止貝塔貿然走出宿舍房之時，意識到貝塔要離開房間範圍的澤鉭突然動起身子，無視幾乎被他推到地上的柔伊，攔在大門前面無表情地說道：329Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcTrTSq9spe

  「可是，你知道以太在哪裡嗎？我真的擔心他會像繆兒一樣被捉走。」貝塔著急問著，又拿出自己同為與以太立下契約的身份，加以說服：「我也跟以太立下了契約，這會不會就是你想要的『權限』？」329Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCtUtOubidD
329Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkWkkwOEC6D

329Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKomLujHAUA
  「呃……換個問題，那主神以太現在安好嗎？這個應該不是什麼機密了吧？」趕忙把澤鉭攔下貝塔這個舉動筆錄下來後，柔伊亦一再來到澤鉭面前，嘗試替貝塔確認以太此刻的人身安全。329Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7W3V3VxSuv

  聽到澤鉭終於透露出以太仍然安然無事一情報，貝塔這下才稍為鬆一口氣，屈曲雙膝再次坐在沙發上，默默看著房內繼續醉心對澤鉭上下打量的柔伊，以及旁邊一臉悠然對著天花板放空的克西，再沒哼出半句話。8964 copyright protection325ＰＥＮＡＮＡBSLNsIBav1 維尼
