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。378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeEMrEXN41E

  「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。378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2PnVbfWqiK

  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。378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVugQ8bS0eL

  「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。378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsVenY78TfF

  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。378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCINBeAS9vp

  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。378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxhJS0CtkTN

  「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！」378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcv4n1A4SL5

378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡROnSLOjfUh
  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：378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡex2rjsJ499

  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。378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw0HE0KoILq

  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：378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8xQyuNHmcB

378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf09A8GWZET
378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡolctbgfjyg
  「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：378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrz3NrzF7jV
378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwrBGkI9crH

378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAFjS1z66vh
378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkpz5XD1hOU
  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。378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4aazhT0Cby

  「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。」378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNKawEyzEyk

  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：378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXw4Tnz0YII

378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqLpMdDTspD
  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……378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTw9kTfi5bC
378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2bNS1l0KSW
378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCRVCo4YVXO
  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。378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMxXOcSVbWD
378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlFuSOyGnch
378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEZda1z9De8
  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。378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXigaRQGLNa

  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 protection374ＰＥＮＡＮＡGqxMZsMuo4 維尼
