放學時間,伸一再次來到學生會室的門口。他停在門口前,吞一下口水,不敢進去,因為門的後面,就是新的開始,同時意味未來他會牽涉在奇怪的事件中。

艾倫降落在主人的肩膀上,對他微笑。
150Please respect copyright.PENANAJxGqh952Xv
150Please respect copyright.PENANAQzTad7kw6V
「去吧,伸一。」
150Please respect copyright.PENANAm9nCWvtJsK
150Please respect copyright.PENANApEr23MpYrX
伸一深呼吸,打開門。
150Please respect copyright.PENANARRu89QIo5s
150Please respect copyright.PENANA8gx0QyIG0U
「歡迎加入The Empire!」
150Please respect copyright.PENANA63Wd91w5AB
150Please respect copyright.PENANAHjwiaTbChi
愉悅的氣氛充斥整個房間,跟伸一預想的有極大反差。伸一呆了,不懂反應。在講台上,他們都是嚴肅的,現在他們居然全都變成小孩子,在開派對。桌上海量的點心和零食,就是最佳證明。
150Please respect copyright.PENANA4UHBUYesxd
150Please respect copyright.PENANAXZqLhAfj65
「來,先坐一下。」美娜將他拉到沙發前,讓他坐好。
150Please respect copyright.PENANA329ZYdhrZm
150Please respect copyright.PENANAgpFYFLntMf
「要不要一包?」阿光的手疊在伸一的肩膀,遞上一包特大洋蔥片。伸一點頭,收下了。
150Please respect copyright.PENANAUoS9YnnFZs
150Please respect copyright.PENANAwTfUQUheom
「艾倫,過來這邊。零食已經為你準備好了。」美美和其他守護甜心也在好好招待新來的甜心。
150Please respect copyright.PENANAHS7Q7C5ajX
150Please respect copyright.PENANALPa2qKjTNq
「嗚啊呀——許多食物啊!」艾倫盯著桌上的點心,垂涎三尺。
150Please respect copyright.PENANAlRUXcmRRI8
150Please respect copyright.PENANA5utnyI2ZxY
「那我們快點開動吧。」布魯斯已經伸手去抓杯子蛋糕,但路克一下手刀把他的貪玩之手斬開。
150Please respect copyright.PENANA7kfjwkmPhn
150Please respect copyright.PENANAVRUNCnLBs9
「請再等一下!」
150Please respect copyright.PENANA2P0vQIvcJC
150Please respect copyright.PENANADiGKJzP3ke
「……為什麼會在派對?」伸一只能吐出這問題。
150Please respect copyright.PENANAqqiv1HCZyU
150Please respect copyright.PENANAn7poZJe7J9
「在歡迎你啊,」大輔道:「歡迎你成為The Empire的Pawn!這學年多多關照。」
150Please respect copyright.PENANApLLbwS7KS8
150Please respect copyright.PENANARfaShdksB1
「多多關照!」其他人和守護甜心異口同聲。
150Please respect copyright.PENANAfe5FuWH6AJ
150Please respect copyright.PENANAlNsoul76RB
「……嗯。」伸一在沒其他能給的反應之下,默默點頭了。
150Please respect copyright.PENANAmTfzhFMakX
150Please respect copyright.PENANAmU0oxhuk9n
六個人和六隻守護甜心坐下,開始點心派對。
150Please respect copyright.PENANAl6a1fkXXcg
150Please respect copyright.PENANAvV41gbSE9D
「很久沒試過這樣了,」翔太拿著一片曲奇餅,吃得津津有味:「工作一直都很多,都沒時間坐下輕鬆一下。」
150Please respect copyright.PENANACKClGcotFr
150Please respect copyright.PENANA5IEay2BORi
「那個……昨天那件事怎樣處理?」伸一問道。
150Please respect copyright.PENANAinnTfHps0l
150Please respect copyright.PENANAoS1U37Etqa
「先暫且別管,現在先享受當下!」阿光拍拍他的肩膀,叫他別擔心。
150Please respect copyright.PENANAn3oNni2xq3
150Please respect copyright.PENANAlLRRa3p5LY
「我不客氣了。」
150Please respect copyright.PENANAlk64XsbyXC
150Please respect copyright.PENANAKwzZ6CyOON
「喂!我先看中這個的啊!」
150Please respect copyright.PENANAp1vIWyOqMl
150Please respect copyright.PENANA9KASnjhijl
「這跟我無關!」
150Please respect copyright.PENANAviubjdUNa4
150Please respect copyright.PENANAEGiRlP9hcp
「啊——」
150Please respect copyright.PENANAxYC4jPTQxq
150Please respect copyright.PENANAwuD4YqwuI6
「艾倫,要不要一點茶?」
150Please respect copyright.PENANAgSqkiLIaP6
150Please respect copyright.PENANAH1fa3y2nn4
「好的。謝謝。」
150Please respect copyright.PENANAOf4uRDDIVF
150Please respect copyright.PENANAeX61zZ29ZO
看著守護甜心們有說有笑,像是有生命的指頭娃娃在零食之間移動,伸一不禁會心微笑。這是艾倫誕生多年來,第一次近距離接觸其他守護甜心。以前縱然會碰到同類,但也不過於點頭、打招呼。艾倫這回的笑容,是他一生中見過最燦爛的。
150Please respect copyright.PENANAUD9fP3u8jH
150Please respect copyright.PENANAnOK9qVVde7
事實上,伸一也覺得自己這回的笑容很燦爛。他一手抓起大量洋蔥片,一口吃下去,滋味無窮,比家中更好。
150Please respect copyright.PENANAnzhw7Xlu4T
大輔看著伸一:「Pawn,明天早上開始我會帶你認識我們的工作,知道嗎?」
150Please respect copyright.PENANAQMdysudXeV
150Please respect copyright.PENANAxqXaH2CTmN
「嗯!」
150Please respect copyright.PENANAwnlsN6pb6L
150Please respect copyright.PENANAizFDqRaMoy
「放心。這會跟阿光之前說好的一樣,我們不會要你做太多工作,不會為難你。」
150Please respect copyright.PENANAxzInTmtEQ0
150Please respect copyright.PENANA7qSAe40B2L
「多多指教了。」伸一微笑。

魔姬和雙胞胎兄弟再次在辨公室會見聖母。
150Please respect copyright.PENANAkjz8LEQ6AJ
150Please respect copyright.PENANA6Bc2McHb4K
「聖母好。」
150Please respect copyright.PENANAdqkBpspRHz
150Please respect copyright.PENANAh7BH3WnTiU
房間陷入一片沉默,聖母仍然背對他們,讓陽光將她變成一團影子。
150Please respect copyright.PENANAHtAzJ5UHYI
150Please respect copyright.PENANAJgf2NeGBo2
「……聖母?」京介首先發言。
150Please respect copyright.PENANAKImFAM2PS1
150Please respect copyright.PENANAgx2TJ2MTKM
「京介,聽聞昨天你擅自出動了?而且你輸了。」
150Please respect copyright.PENANAc1mzNQc7Gw
150Please respect copyright.PENANAsrXLlmWKmo
面對聖母的質問,京介停頓幾秒。
150Please respect copyright.PENANA2IDimgRlye
150Please respect copyright.PENANAol77MD5anA
「聖母,這是為了收集更多心靈之蛋。請原諒我。」
150Please respect copyright.PENANAlb846SwJoi
150Please respect copyright.PENANARLcwQJ3VYj
聖母沉默不言,並單手提出一隻發出淺藍色螢光的蛋。蛋在掌心中,發出吸引眼球的光芒。
150Please respect copyright.PENANAVpDSUkj4Ao
150Please respect copyright.PENANAUh60LnsVbq
「發動。」
150Please respect copyright.PENANAEIylGwWvR9
150Please respect copyright.PENANAJYhco36Yd5
「Lazer!」
150Please respect copyright.PENANAVm6hJBvj0R
150Please respect copyright.PENANANI8s40scLm
聖母細語後,蛋說出單字,並射出一道鐳射光。幸好京介反應快,踏步避開。鐳射打在背後的牆上,留下一個燒焦點。
150Please respect copyright.PENANAeF2TUFWGPM
150Please respect copyright.PENANASWvmGt115C
「真不愧是所有實驗品中的精英,閃得很快。」
150Please respect copyright.PENANAKORLDZ6f0G
150Please respect copyright.PENANAqYxYoFtTdN
京介的腳軟了,坐在地上,手心不斷冒汗。總介馬上扶起他,看看他有沒有狀況。
150Please respect copyright.PENANA8dAuQBSt1U
150Please respect copyright.PENANAm9Xrm5fn83
「這次只是警告,下次不要了。」
150Please respect copyright.PENANAnVIFlFAgOu
150Please respect copyright.PENANA1ymb9ERUWe
「……是的。」京介猛烈點頭,他臉色蒼白,受驚了。
「為了確定你有真心反省,這段時間你不准參加任何任務或訓練。聽到嗎?」
「……是。」
「聖母,難道這就是最近在研發的新型武器蛋?」魔姬問道。
「是的。我手上的雖然只是Alpha版,但威力不錯,我相當滿意。」
聖母轉轉手上的武器蛋,淺藍色的蛋殼在陽光下有寶石一般的光芒。
150Please respect copyright.PENANA1NJJLSJ6ut
150Please respect copyright.PENANAtJeQIMb773
「記住,Genesis是一體的,不准有個人主義。聽到嗎?」
150Please respect copyright.PENANAvN7pPFn9Cs
150Please respect copyright.PENANAyzks6MbX7Q
「我們當然知道,聖母。請你放心。」總介回應。
150Please respect copyright.PENANAOPCw9BpPG5
150Please respect copyright.PENANAYEe47URJEm
「很好。」聖母十分滿意。

另一天的早上,伸一跟著學生會在校園內東奔西撲,學習學生會基本工作,之後課堂又開始上層次與小學差天共地的課程,好不容易才支持到放學。
150Please respect copyright.PENANAlwrmVHMkaf
150Please respect copyright.PENANA72TX3Jgwzf
「我……來……了……」伸一喘著氣,打開學生會房門。
150Please respect copyright.PENANAP9U5PclwmN
150Please respect copyright.PENANAJaIZK5kz2u
「伸一,今早辛苦了。」美娜繼續掛上公主式的笑容,而其餘人早已到齊了。
150Please respect copyright.PENANA03WwL88Rip
150Please respect copyright.PENANAr7CMtQ2WEq
「嗯……」伸一疲倦地點頭,旁邊的艾倫只能苦笑。
150Please respect copyright.PENANAifNXbb8GtM
150Please respect copyright.PENANAR4YsOF5yyH
「不過現在不是休息的時間。來,快坐好。我們終於知道對手是誰了。」早乙女拍拍旁邊空置的沙發位,要伸一過來坐。
150Please respect copyright.PENANAa1YKrmJR78
150Please respect copyright.PENANAjoNKQH5mv1
「對手?」伸一有點不理解。
150Please respect copyright.PENANAk7UUKgn9xV
150Please respect copyright.PENANAblROUgwUHT
「嗯,那群抽取他人心靈之蛋,將別人弄得奇奇怪怪的人。」阿光點頭。
150Please respect copyright.PENANAmhYpBjBkVS
150Please respect copyright.PENANACtp08N0z9p
伸一腦光一閃:「啊!我記得那些蛋上有一個六角星圖案,我記得它們代表的是……」
150Please respect copyright.PENANAHSXyPGXtZn
150Please respect copyright.PENANAEZiXXfuyVA
「不用猜了,」大輔道:「是Genesis財團。」
150Please respect copyright.PENANApsO3KGOxhq
150Please respect copyright.PENANAhfuWIxHR8j
他將一張角落印有六角星的文件放在玻璃桌中央。英文字Genesis呈斜體,清楚地寫在六角星旁邊。
150Please respect copyright.PENANAWBBaMeH0BH
150Please respect copyright.PENANARyUd4scxyB
「Genesis?聽說這財團的實力和Easter不分上下的啊!」翔太對於事件涉及Genesis財團感到意外。
150Please respect copyright.PENANA4LxOg0emg1
150Please respect copyright.PENANAOpSl0jWTel
「Genesis財團的業務遍佈全球,包含多個範疇。超市、娛樂、房屋……你能說出來的,他們大概都有涉及當中。」早乙女道。
150Please respect copyright.PENANA3ikHJKiJi0
150Please respect copyright.PENANA5EoP2Z6jo5
「包括零食嗎?」布魯斯問。
150Please respect copyright.PENANAMZ3syxoVoQ
150Please respect copyright.PENANA24r4qxoyqh
「對。昨天的包裝杯子蛋糕,出產商就是Genesis。」凌兵回應。
150Please respect copyright.PENANAoB4yZXT5cG
150Please respect copyright.PENANASMeiRWYmXS
「噢!」
150Please respect copyright.PENANAad8VAZPZ9k
150Please respect copyright.PENANA04xS8GLjOa
「說起娛樂,他們最近好像在興建賭場和遊樂場,」阿光又說:「我記得它們分別叫Genesis Galaxy和Genesis Garden。他們是要對抗DreamEgg Land嗎?」
150Please respect copyright.PENANA6sUl9pyZpg
150Please respect copyright.PENANAjtUrqMvW9n
「啊——我和翔太上星期到DreamEgg Land一遊,裡面的遊樂設施的確令人靈感大開。」小筆合上眼睛,回憶那時的樂趣。
150Please respect copyright.PENANAoquIJWTEHc
150Please respect copyright.PENANA9H84rc9NLj
「嗯!票價雖然貴了點,但值得去。」連主人也和議。
150Please respect copyright.PENANAeTJWWlzt27
150Please respect copyright.PENANA8FwwPI71Ae
「咳咳——我們可以不談零食或娛樂嗎?」
150Please respect copyright.PENANA5ZKJVuR649
150Please respect copyright.PENANAG7Bor4h47a
早乙女只是提高一下聲量,就讓所有人和守護甜心都住口,回到正題去。
150Please respect copyright.PENANAiwCDU3By2S
150Please respect copyright.PENANAZBTYCP6apZ
「……剛剛說到,Genesis踏足的範圍非常廣闊,但我萬萬想不到現在他們竟然會碰守護蛋。」
150Please respect copyright.PENANAQyIO5JPqIG
150Please respect copyright.PENANAKwmVU0n92y
「但是…….為什麼?為什麼他們會知道我們的存在?」路克問道。
150Please respect copyright.PENANAlO5XzLysI2
150Please respect copyright.PENANAVXLezStiuG
「那個叫魔姬的少女似乎也十分清楚我們的特性,但我們感覺不到她有守護甜心。」凌兵補充。
150Please respect copyright.PENANAKQ6ci0aE8N
150Please respect copyright.PENANACAyg9bpNQw
(魔姬……)伸一的腦海一直重複這二字咒語。
150Please respect copyright.PENANAKKhJ6eumAl
150Please respect copyright.PENANAUNOTSGiVpE
「那真的很奇怪呢,他們的目的是什麼?」美美搖頭,近期種種的事令她腦袋爆炸。
150Please respect copyright.PENANAwPL0mPLP1S
150Please respect copyright.PENANAMIVObOZbNF
「再談下去也沒有用。我們只能繼續留意他們的動靜,」大輔道:「Genesis先說到這裡為止。我們討論下一個議題,而本次議題,和伸一你有很大關係。」
150Please respect copyright.PENANA1MMBNezAfP
150Please respect copyright.PENANAPUoSHwlfxF
「啊?」
150Please respect copyright.PENANAUxQgdsq1ZP
150Please respect copyright.PENANABAfK6w37nX
「說白一點的話,就是你的項鍊。」
150Please respect copyright.PENANAvCNkn6NHDP
150Please respect copyright.PENANAHMQouZJcO5
「……!」
150Please respect copyright.PENANANTPpYfWJxg
150Please respect copyright.PENANA8LbKqdhAWR
伸一低頭,伸手托起項鍊上的Hope Sphere。它在水晶燈的光芒閃出一點光輝,光並不刺眼,光度剛好令人舒服,如同掌上明珠,希望的水晶球。
150Please respect copyright.PENANAmFSE1M6TrO
150Please respect copyright.PENANAQ1m3MuTyOw
「這個?他只是爺爺的遺物而已。」
150Please respect copyright.PENANAaF7gm1KNLd
150Please respect copyright.PENANAeQn1IOcdnH
「不過在上兩次的戰鬥,它發亮了,之後你能夠甜心變身,Story Writer的力量也因而穩定。我覺得不是巧合。」
150Please respect copyright.PENANAT4m6Ch8gAZ
150Please respect copyright.PENANAfx1f4UHMNs
「嗯。那時候,我覺得我和小筆完全同步,能隨心所慾地使用力量。我是第一次有這種感覺。」翔太道。
150Please respect copyright.PENANA31whPNIsBT
150Please respect copyright.PENANASMqKkTNYIf
「真的嗎?」
150Please respect copyright.PENANAwOIF2YdVmc
150Please respect copyright.PENANAFq1TmNleIS
伸一再次看著Hope Sphere。裡面的反轉世界彷彿有另一層令人反轉的威力,寄託了爺爺的靈魂。
150Please respect copyright.PENANAd1dhlHWB78
150Please respect copyright.PENANAzQoP3tLhFn
「伸一,我們可以看看嗎?」大輔伸出手。
150Please respect copyright.PENANAI6oOpF5PHt
150Please respect copyright.PENANA4uYEnBzhFL
「不。」伸一握緊它,退後一步。
150Please respect copyright.PENANABlyUP2W1Re
150Please respect copyright.PENANA8K990p6Xye
「我們不會做什麼,放心。」
150Please respect copyright.PENANAHmwY8w98LY
150Please respect copyright.PENANAq2oMyXzwGW
「不行。」
150Please respect copyright.PENANAs7M4chVAuU
150Please respect copyright.PENANAkcyIswDfDa
「只是看一下。」
150Please respect copyright.PENANA7cjvvWwsxe
150Please respect copyright.PENANAw5KvGK5rOW
「不行就是不行。」
150Please respect copyright.PENANACIxctpNKHi
150Please respect copyright.PENANAiV4gyvFpP3
「他不行是可以理解的,畢竟這是爺爺留給他的,十分貴重。」美娜希望大輔不要迫他。
150Please respect copyright.PENANAzXV6FNllDm
150Please respect copyright.PENANA4CINrzRoBT
「對啊!不要強迫人!」
150Please respect copyright.PENANAD9PnzK4zhH
150Please respect copyright.PENANAbRowFeHkw6
「……說的也是,」大輔點頭:「它有名字嗎?」
150Please respect copyright.PENANA7wKa2dp1uB
150Please respect copyright.PENANA0GT0Wd2wK1
「Hope Sphere。」
150Please respect copyright.PENANAkipnxFKMlp
150Please respect copyright.PENANAiu5P0hm2nG
「Hope Sphere……」大輔重複默唸幾次:「既然不能除下去檢查,那希望你能盡量戴上它去戰鬥。多來幾次變身,說不定可以知道它是什麼。」
150Please respect copyright.PENANAhLEE0s5gRl
150Please respect copyright.PENANAbxawlJYpZ7
「……好的。」
150Please respect copyright.PENANAaNmn63Dfs4
150Please respect copyright.PENANADCUE4heeGg
伸一垂下Hope Sphere,Hope Sphere在燈光下閃出星光。
