黑夜過去，黎明破曉，校舍裡眾藍紅雙色的騎士們漫長的噩夢亦隨團長繆兒的歸來而終結。歡呼聲與笑淚響徹整座宿舍大樓，稍為抹散戰事膠著、生離死別的愁雲。317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgeLRZWTgLL

  自黑白兩國開戰以來，放棄中立、轉站白石國婭基昂絲一方的艾斯托利克亦傷亡慘重。本來隨副團長艾斯法出陣的三千兵馬、加上之前繆兒親率的百人部隊，合共三千餘位騎士，如今仍然生還的大概只剩一半不到，負傷的更是不計其數。斯圖希安的黑色戰車，再加上包括繆兒自身在內、三位「主神兵器」無差別濫殺，至少令十數個大小部隊全員葬身戰火之中，而其餘的即使幸運地存活下來，亦不得不為隨時的喪命擔驚受怕。317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0E7qYhacap

  儘管單憑繆兒一人或許沒法扭轉每位騎士的生死，他的出現卻讓眾人看到一線生機，點亮他們化作灰燼的希冀，撐起疲憊身子列陣在宿舍大樓附近的球場上。317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJtmQ1km3Ac

  望向這幫久違擺出笑容互相擁抱的下屬，繆兒心裡卻冒起一絲悔疚。回想自己在被「心變術式」蠱惑那時，極度含糊的意識只能眼睜睜看著手中寬闊刀刃無情砍殺自己麾下血肉之軀，在他無盡的「人生」裡添上永不褪去的罪名。317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9bu9EnQCbm

  繆兒發話一刻，球場裡遂即鴉雀無聲。即使後排的騎士們看不見繆兒矮小身姿，仍屏住氣息、豎起兩耳努力傾聽。317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPytKdG7bpP

  「我了解在我被蠱惑、蒙上叛國一名的日子裡，我的雙手沾滿了自己國家人民的鮮血，這個罪名亦將跟隨我直到永遠……」繆兒望了望眼前眾人，深呼吸一下之後再道：「現在，也請在場各位給我一次贖罪的機會，讓我親赴戰陣最前線，斬除黑鐵禍根，為逝者報仇雪恨！」317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq7Dt0iCqrI

  趁著繆兒結束講話，默視台下一眾騎士們各自整合戰況之際，後方便迎來十位披戴翼冠與華麗戰甲的神兵，敬畏地在繆兒面前對其下跪示好。317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIPB03Z8b3z

  此話一出，神兵們隨即面面相覷，凝重氛圍彷彿為該派哪位上前而相爭。良久，直到眾藍紅戰甲的騎士們相繼向繆兒簡略交代戰況，四散回到各自崗位之後，繆兒又淡然望向爭持不下、開始互相碰撞的神族之輩，指向當中拿著紅色木箱的年輕小子，輕嘆說道：317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQKk6PEbo3j

  守候在以太身旁的，正是同為主神的機巧澤鉭。自以太不支倒下後，與他交下契約的澤鉭旋即自東向西、披星戴月之勢闖進花海裡聳立的粉白建築群中。機械式的思考回路抓緊連繫裡以太潺弱的氣息，無視身邊一切事物，在十數幢大樓成千上萬的宿舍房之中，準確無誤地找到以太所在的那所房間。317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsxuKg126uQ

  然而，只曉得自我修復的機體，面對因傷倒下的契約主，亦只得默站原地，無機質的兩眼一再確認以太仍然留有一絲氣息之後，便默默守候在側，以戒備態勢瞪視逐步靠近的繆兒。317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡabpIQJTOqo

  見神兵小子眼神抖大，望著澤鉭慌張得連連顫抖，繆兒便沒好氣地加以催促，使其焦急地跪在床前，先是向仍未甦醒的以太叩頭過後，便小心翼翼把紅木盒子安放一側桌子上。317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTszgXzjYzC
