頭班列車載著寥寥數位乘客，穿過空無一人的荒野，從浮光淨土來到終界第二大城市──聖火城。383Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHWD5O0ATvA

  「老大，這邊請。」下車後，卡帕甫走出熙來攘往的車站大堂，兩位身穿西裝、戴上墨鏡的男子便從一旁走出，恭敬攔在卡帕面前向他示好。383Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyhbKsIcQ44

  在兩人帶領下，這初臨熱鬧城區的鄉巴佬亦不忘沿途飽覽四周高聳入雲的高樓，色彩繽紛的招牌與大電視屏幕，無一不讓他大開眼界。383Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡecClowCd4N

  突如其來的叫喊，順理成章地惹來街上眾人目光，不少把他當成是街頭賣藝的過氣諧星，只消一眸便拂袖而去。383Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaNt3okeXD2

  「老大！堇金大人已經回到事務所等候了，我們還是先到他那邊再說吧！」尷尬之下夾在左方的西裝男如是提醒著，聯同另一人加快腳步把卡帕帶離眾目之外。383Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbR5pOUDVud

  踏出傳送法陣，再經幾番轉折，來到一座由紫色反光玻璃拼湊而成、外牆寫有「堇花塔」的摩天大樓。在左右兩位西裝男夾道之下，卡帕走進側旁的入口，並乘子彈升降機登上頂樓。383Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgKhAKHgdaJ

  推開大門，空蕩廣闊的空間中央是一張長方辦公桌，卡帕見靠向落地玻璃窗方向的豪華坐椅上坐著久違親友的身影，便主動打起招呼。383Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIHaQuhwkvK

  「別擔心，義兄決定了，之後也要讓義弟你多接觸黑輝淨土外的世界……」堇金拍著卡帕肩膀，與他望向窗外澄藍的天空，指向陽光旁一個不太起眼的光點，對他開了個玩笑：「就算你說要到始界討伐邪神，義兄也會想辦法送你過去的，哈哈哈！」383Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8CwYqcW9mN

  對於這般天方夜譚的玩笑，卡帕唯有交叉著手，默默對堇金打出無奈神色，藉此告訴他自己確實無意遠赴始界。見狀，堇金便壞笑著回到正題：383Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ94xrtOeTXI

  說著，隨卡帕而來的兩位西裝男早已預備好亮著微弱紫光的方盒狀法陣描畫器，一再確認座標設置過後，便打出紫色傳送法陣把一肥一壯兩個身影包圍，轉移到一段距離以外的聖火大酒店。383Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx2WtJP8fcV

  難得終於把年度大會的講稿擬好，妲羽亦把滿腦子天文學術名詞一一撥開，拿著魔匣與烏普西朗一同坐在鄰接的沙發上。383Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkpP4XWmdyl

  「哈哈！你們好。我是卡帕，是個來自黑輝淨土的鄉巴佬。」見倆小孩投以稍為怕羞的神情，身為前輩的卡帕於是捏出親切笑臉，主動開口道出名來。383Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlYVjeuLTrd

  在堇金鼓勵之下，妲羽率先對眼前兩位前輩級男性報上名來：383Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzPzdmsC9mO

383Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt0NJ8DBeDy
  「我叫烏普西朗。你是來告訴我關於伊歐鎝的消息嗎？」而知道眼前這陌生哥哥與堇叔叔關係密切，烏普西朗在吐出自己名字後隨即便問及伊歐鎝的下落。然而理所當然地，就連伊歐鎝長相是怎樣也不知道的卡帕，亦只好搔著頭報以苦笑：383Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpBw2LgBxek
383Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOFayeOpVnU
383Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8fufp4GIAV

383Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYi3CVga0EY
383Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvA8SNaPQMM
  與他最後一次分別的記憶鮮明刻在烏普西朗腦海裡，這位留有鮮紅散髮、碧藍色兩目的少年換上另一套簇新的淺藍色軍服，輕輕摸過烏普西朗的頭，便轉過頭，一去不返。想起臨別前那副顯然是強撐出來的微笑，烏普西朗又再沉默下來，任由眼眶冒起大滴淚珠。383Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm28sjGfxIG
383Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRfFcesDlOZ
383Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNNYRKxqmCw
  「那麼也能順便替妲羽找一個人嗎？她留青色長髮、淺黃色眼睛，穿藍色衣服，個子大概就比你矮一點點……」妲羽想了想，又再補充道：「還有她經常拿著一枝很長的白色長槍。」383Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3srHo9Xdlo
383Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfGIBdCBBDj
383Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgcweESTvX9
  妲羽口中描述，正正與把自己認定成敵人的那位少女毫無二致。愕然下卡帕遂衝口而出向對方道出少女的名字：383Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2zN983KKDl
383Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8TWj23lZFF
383Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDLgT8VVgqE

383Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoLlRzybnuR
  見妲羽一臉著緊站立著追問，卡帕沉默片刻，把昨晚一場奇遇稍為整合過後，便一五一十從在列車上看到她孤身對抗黑霧的那個時候開始說起……383Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrQQIHUGDch
383Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡus7D4GQ5F3
383Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgwzogzvHh2
  聽到唯一的至親因受傷而送進醫院，其後又強撐身子再赴戰場，瞬間令妲羽再說不出半句話，呆滯癱軟在沙發上，心裡更是萌起一剎那對命運神的質疑，希望祂能放過埃美克戎一秒鐘。383Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6xncQRFs1t
383Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdH2tvfJFEp
383Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLd4alXjrJK
  與此同時，滑到沙發上的魔匣突如伴隨震動響起一陣簡單曲調，讓妲羽不得不從茫然間抽離，看過屏幕，見來電的正是天文學會會長修伯特。383Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQOykVegIJU
383Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxJyPHO0jkC

  聽筒後修伯特說話的語氣焦急而離奇地嚴肅，妲羽於是抱著疑惑走出會議室，找到一處隱蔽角落繼續通話。8964 copyright protection379ＰＥＮＡＮＡ19YTcFk9Qh 維尼
