假日,小次郎靜靜地坐在店裡一角,玩著《星星大戰》的模型。店內雖然有其他小孩,卻沒有一個理會他,都跑去看其他模型。

167Please respect copyright.PENANA0fvZgsV4PY
太陽光照料著窗邊的模型和小孩子,然而小次郎孤獨地坐在暗影中,任由寂寞和憂鬱吞噬他。
167Please respect copyright.PENANA0qJtkdh2Ye
167Please respect copyright.PENANA4lSPXYqPaM
「可以和你玩嗎?」
167Please respect copyright.PENANANkeB5fYDwN
167Please respect copyright.PENANA42d6dtgy9H
小次郎回過神,發現一位比他年長三四年的男孩在他面前。
167Please respect copyright.PENANAYjL0aEWqZj
167Please respect copyright.PENANAhntn40r9q5
「……」小次郎不知道應該回應什麼才好。
167Please respect copyright.PENANAUbxjEMedGV
167Please respect copyright.PENANA5a4x3iHVY0
「你手上的是什麼?」男孩指著小次郎手上的飛船模型。
167Please respect copyright.PENANAB5EQ5qF12N
167Please respect copyright.PENANArZm6Lko8ce
「……《星星大戰》飛船。」
167Please respect copyright.PENANA2bzT36Hm0h
167Please respect copyright.PENANA2sb62L2Fxd
「原來如此!看起來很酷呢!可以說多一點點嗎?」
167Please respect copyright.PENANAsL0QA5eDKu
167Please respect copyright.PENANA92ROrcanI8
「……啊?不過這飛船不簡單的啊。」
167Please respect copyright.PENANAoJmQv7bPMm
167Please respect copyright.PENANAbtnd2SeMBK
「沒關係。我的母親要買菜,一小時後才回來。你可以慢慢說。」
167Please respect copyright.PENANA2m0YAW8jVa
167Please respect copyright.PENANAJjPp2mdvPL
「……」
167Please respect copyright.PENANAa7njNtG6ry
167Please respect copyright.PENANAEFcWmvSWK3
「小次郎,就說給他聽聽吧。」
167Please respect copyright.PENANA2A9ZQvQdwR
167Please respect copyright.PENANAmdzkMRpcGV
小次郎轉頭,看見父親。
167Please respect copyright.PENANAtxHH95tf3v
167Please respect copyright.PENANAirdfWi6P9n
「這孩子的媽媽要買菜,將他交給我托管。他會和你玩一會兒。」
167Please respect copyright.PENANAhkZmLIjkiG
167Please respect copyright.PENANA0t7DXt0hEK
「可以嗎?」男孩向小次郎微笑。
167Please respect copyright.PENANAlUpuEsra8W
167Please respect copyright.PENANAbVnaUgwd22
「……不過,沒有人會聽我說話。」
167Please respect copyright.PENANAy6JtxULyee
167Please respect copyright.PENANAgvIkIQM1hN
「我會啊。」
167Please respect copyright.PENANALBd6iaapgT
167Please respect copyright.PENANAyl0U9M6LNE
小次郎呆了。
167Please respect copyright.PENANApmVqYX0j3h
167Please respect copyright.PENANAiev3P21MlM
自此,每次週末,男孩都會和小次郎玩《星星大戰》模型,模仿裡面的情節。男孩原本對這卡通片一竅不通,但也潛移默化地喜歡了。二人也變成朋友。為了跟小次郎有話題,男孩都會搜尋和卡通片有關的資料,好讓大家玩得更開心。
167Please respect copyright.PENANADhITeaxViV
167Please respect copyright.PENANAUBagqT27qm
有一天,男孩離開玩具店的時候,聽到一把聲音。
167Please respect copyright.PENANAteinmx0rCQ
167Please respect copyright.PENANA09c8DvLMs5
「我聽到你的想法了。」
167Please respect copyright.PENANAzVB7v12WdX
167Please respect copyright.PENANAcJt5rnqtk1
男孩東張西望,最後看到前面一隻守護蛋。守護蛋裂開,誕生一隻守護甜心。
167Please respect copyright.PENANA98S0Sls8bO

「啊?」眾人感到迷惘,脫節了。
167Please respect copyright.PENANAvun5MN6QGY

「小次郎,你從前感染了我;現在,我希望你能釋懷。」
167Please respect copyright.PENANAvveCC1SroO
167Please respect copyright.PENANATlPrI5vGUh
Berserk Star-walker的敵意消散了,逐漸回歸自我。
167Please respect copyright.PENANAnFa2pCMmQ5
167Please respect copyright.PENANAVIL97tFgRm
「因為有你,所以才有今天的我和路克。我一直作為你的聆聽者,今天我也希望能繼續聽見你的聲音。小次郎,將你的悲傷說出來,我們會聆聽和幫助你。你不需要這種力量。來我們這邊吧。」
167Please respect copyright.PENANAEQT5YXy9i7
167Please respect copyright.PENANAW9y6dmrqIS

「啊啊啊——」
167Please respect copyright.PENANARFfqA3zPxE
167Please respect copyright.PENANAo1vCKQcV9X
忽然,Berserk Star-walker痛苦地叫。他全身滿佈銀色電流,手指和四肢也在不自然地伸長。最後,他的眼睛變成了銀色。
167Please respect copyright.PENANALsxHi8FDpY
167Please respect copyright.PENANAG7IxzaUScT
「糟糕!我們拖太久了!」阿光叫道。
167Please respect copyright.PENANAYmaVTJMhOG
167Please respect copyright.PENANAwjBeOGktZS
「拖太久?那是什麼意思。」伸一不明白。
167Please respect copyright.PENANA0x6Q1WvIEY
167Please respect copyright.PENANAWEr1RUZ6FS
「銀蛋快要侵蝕暴走者的內心了。再過約五分鐘後,他的守護蛋會被迫出來,到時候即使抽出銀蛋,他也不會變回原狀。」早乙女解釋。
167Please respect copyright.PENANAwk96fQSSjf
167Please respect copyright.PENANA04BLtmx3Tv
「嗚……嗚啊啊——」
167Please respect copyright.PENANAvgLnCR1QRn
167Please respect copyright.PENANAB6ytObfdnq
Berserk Star-walker完全失控,直接衝向大輔。大輔馬上拿劍,擋住攻擊。
167Please respect copyright.PENANA9YH6udJaKd
167Please respect copyright.PENANA8fIj2nvKnH
「小次郎,現在來救你!」大輔說道。
167Please respect copyright.PENANA7NZJuL8qg0
167Please respect copyright.PENANAQHSpRWliqp
伸一的HopeSphere此時發出光芒。
167Please respect copyright.PENANAML2ifOEjLY
167Please respect copyright.PENANAtsSj1bze26
「又來了。」伸一低頭看著Hope Sphere。
167Please respect copyright.PENANAcSieUVT2qZ
167Please respect copyright.PENANAEf7BBAQ3Pi
大輔又感覺到那股不可思議的力量,但他沒有猶豫停下來,一下子全都押在這一擊之上。大輔稍為用力,便把Berserk Star-walker彈開。
167Please respect copyright.PENANApAxIxaMSIF
167Please respect copyright.PENANAtSH06sN2Ku
大輔伸出另一隻沒有持劍的手,淺藍色的光粒子聚集在掌心上,變出另一把光劍。
167Please respect copyright.PENANAKbtGkCDBCB
167Please respect copyright.PENANAtPdvWnONgv
「Star-burst Slash!」
167Please respect copyright.PENANAXl1wYbU1NV
167Please respect copyright.PENANApQ28oFcSUs
大輔突然加速,衝到Berserk Star-walker面前,進行一連串斬擊。對方雖然及時擋下,但每一劍的力度相當高,使他也吃不少苦頭。大輔的每一下斬擊,都爆出美麗的星光,將招式化為小銀河。
167Please respect copyright.PENANAq7XC9ypFyL
167Please respect copyright.PENANAjLP216dJQZ
「這難道就是傳說中的二刀流?」翔太驚叫。
167Please respect copyright.PENANALl8BMivd6I
167Please respect copyright.PENANAMFJrZ0GRRT
「嗚啊啊——」大輔的兩把光劍同時一斬,頓時把Berserk Star-walker狠狠打飛。
167Please respect copyright.PENANAENAdJjMzBY
167Please respect copyright.PENANAnSDTdek6Ow
「伸一,現在!」
167Please respect copyright.PENANATnqCai1Bhc
167Please respect copyright.PENANAPqnfvIs9Eg
「是!」
167Please respect copyright.PENANAhTEGz68vjL
167Please respect copyright.PENANAE8WGdr5akA
伸一向前衝,準備用光球取出銀蛋。
167Please respect copyright.PENANAL1eqkrHF2Y
167Please respect copyright.PENANAFECmIUvNyU
「咔嚓!」
167Please respect copyright.PENANA32cuiSPQ7J
167Please respect copyright.PENANAxgZ91XjIdM
一團影子毫無預兆地插入,向伸一揮劍。幸好伸一眼明腳快,猛力向後跳,避開突襲。
167Please respect copyright.PENANAlSUWl2lfId
167Please respect copyright.PENANAS4Vrw1O0Ke
大家定定神,突襲者是一位灰衣人。他低著頭,看不清他的樣子。
167Please respect copyright.PENANAoHZ7CuCaCu
167Please respect copyright.PENANAoaLVsgp2Ys
「京介!又是你!」阿光大力指著他。
167Please respect copyright.PENANAuyEonXQJC6
167Please respect copyright.PENANAzgcA33YXHn
「我不是京介。我是他的雙胞胎哥哥——小早川 總介。」
167Please respect copyright.PENANABxSI1xzX0c
167Please respect copyright.PENANAPyP232d2JK
總介抬頭,重新站好。他的外貌的確跟京介一模一樣。
167Please respect copyright.PENANAch0LGYolxS
167Please respect copyright.PENANAqwE88jkGo3
「雙胞胎嗎?哼。」早乙女對此表示沒有興趣。
167Please respect copyright.PENANAZUmQa5mn2p
167Please respect copyright.PENANAtao9rTYrq9
「他的守護蛋要出來了。我不會讓你們抽出銀蛋!」總介擺好戰鬥姿態,他手中縱使只有一把劍,但極有氣勢,單是氣場便足以趕走弱者。
167Please respect copyright.PENANANw0KAZPxKF
167Please respect copyright.PENANAfMwHHkgpae
「你閉嘴!」阿光一下響指,變出一個足球,然後踢向總介。然而,總介一下斬擊,便輕描淡寫地把足球斬開一半。
167Please respect copyright.PENANAk3xekudOS3
167Please respect copyright.PENANAXtaVoc7VD9
「這樣的力度和速度,抓癢也不夠。」
167Please respect copyright.PENANArht3Cy85OH
167Please respect copyright.PENANARiQG3hRQTp
「那我當你的對手吧,」早乙女踏步上前:「既然你、你的弟弟和魔姬是Genesis的人,那實力也應該不簡單。我當對手最適合不過。」
167Please respect copyright.PENANA8VzmlCAtWE
167Please respect copyright.PENANA8taiHvdeMB
「啊。查到我們是誰的人了嗎?那你們膽子也不少,知道頭目是誰也敢攔路。」
167Please respect copyright.PENANASLOfV2oLbh
167Please respect copyright.PENANAQmEgdk4pWU
「你們在玩弄人的內心,我們當然不會袖手旁觀,不過這次恐怕你要了。」
167Please respect copyright.PENANASriC2SfjWy
167Please respect copyright.PENANAufvLLk4Kcm
總介停住,發現有些不對勁。
167Please respect copyright.PENANAQsqyJLZVqa
167Please respect copyright.PENANAj2c7UVxuKC
「Writer Prediction!
167Please respect copyright.PENANAiqDGHNW4Kk
167Please respect copyright.PENANAwIrvOd26q5
他瞪大眼,想後退拉開距離之際,但一個黃色結界早早將他困住了。
167Please respect copyright.PENANAuqobJem79K
167Please respect copyright.PENANANe6AkDX1wm
「什麼?你們真可惡!」
167Please respect copyright.PENANABemcNEWFlK
167Please respect copyright.PENANAbERGXctZoZ
翔太面露笑容,向他展示兼朗讀剛才在書中所寫的一切。
167Please respect copyright.PENANASKIp6VN1ws
167Please respect copyright.PENANALGKph7KnaH
「預言:一個結界將總介困在其中,難以逃脫。」
167Please respect copyright.PENANAR5jExm49cy
167Please respect copyright.PENANAvBs7neQ0F6
「我們就是知道Genesis的人在附近,所以早已有計劃生擒你們其中一人去套取口供。」
167Please respect copyright.PENANAmS32wLBJRu
167Please respect copyright.PENANAdYEkbR8CJh
「別看小我!」總介對著結界進行斬擊,要將他破壞。
167Please respect copyright.PENANAoteyVYVBw3
167Please respect copyright.PENANAIBs1UY7zcP
「伸一,這裡要些幫忙!」
167Please respect copyright.PENANAtyvB8ong8I
167Please respect copyright.PENANAQX3qwgGzaN
伸一轉頭,發現大輔正拖住Berserk Star-walker。雖然大輔佔上風,但不能完全阻止對方。
167Please respect copyright.PENANAGjAuK9uVp8
167Please respect copyright.PENANAHLt2irUkbE
「來了!」
167Please respect copyright.PENANAqpJSIyt8Y7
167Please respect copyright.PENANARTBCcMORtZ
伸一跑向Berserk Star-walker,他的胸膛亮出光球,準備進行拯救。
167Please respect copyright.PENANAX1ZDZLqh1B
167Please respect copyright.PENANAcOGgRsdgNT
「嗚……嗚啊啊!」Berserk Star-walker夾雜著憤怒和痛苦。
167Please respect copyright.PENANAL8AGT4L0ER
167Please respect copyright.PENANAbydZ3OhYKY
「大輔,給我空隙!」
167Please respect copyright.PENANAtDS8iVGO1B
167Please respect copyright.PENANAfYMbsw1FXz
「嗯!」
167Please respect copyright.PENANAsQObucOH1k
167Please respect copyright.PENANAYe5jrVdiyc
大輔收起其中一把劍,換成鐳射槍,並發射出去,打在Berserk Star-walker的肚子上。對方隨即因痛楚而彎下腰。
167Please respect copyright.PENANA1SgMK11G3K
167Please respect copyright.PENANAdHlklRbGlT
「去吧——」伸一拿出光球,然後將它推入Berserk Star-walker的胸膛。
167Please respect copyright.PENANAtlvL7AMN4n
167Please respect copyright.PENANANDkMxd9vBz
「啊啊啊——」
167Please respect copyright.PENANAo56W6KdpBS
167Please respect copyright.PENANAQ2YKWZaPVX
Berserk Star-walker又叫起來,但這次感覺上是脫離痛苦的叫聲。他取消變身,變回穿校服的小次郎。銀蛋從後彈出,掉在地上。
167Please respect copyright.PENANAddv9n4uXeq
167Please respect copyright.PENANAKF4ObrCRYK
伸一蹲下,拾起銀蛋,其外形和上兩次見到的一模一樣。不過,這次第一次觸摸銀蛋。銀蛋很冰凍,如同從裡面孵化的守護甜心,冰冷地侵略受害人的守護蛋。
167Please respect copyright.PENANAG0wSEO99zr
167Please respect copyright.PENANA7wiYWUAHdv
「伸一小心!」
167Please respect copyright.PENANA8kRLTbbHE2
167Please respect copyright.PENANAXqP9qAtaQb
伸一猛然轉身,驚見總介不知何時突破結界,向著他衝來。劍尖正是瞄準他的頭,要取他的命。
167Please respect copyright.PENANAC72Pqiet66
167Please respect copyright.PENANAAVbuP86PhF
「危險!」
167Please respect copyright.PENANAqvsfOelPZH
167Please respect copyright.PENANAKHTPosGT0u
在伸一體內的艾倫,替來不及反應的主人作出反擊。他控制伸一的手,抓住Magic Rod,並指住總介。魔法棒伸長,碰到總介後,總介化成無數花瓣,散落到自己身上。伸一坐在地上,只能張開口,呆呆地看著前方。
167Please respect copyright.PENANA2cP82As4by
167Please respect copyright.PENANAvfvFN49zro
「伸一!」
167Please respect copyright.PENANAZqZ9lbTP2G

「伸一!」
167Please respect copyright.PENANA2cz1iXk6mx
167Please respect copyright.PENANAE994DtKvfG
眾人跑向伸一,但伸一受驚過度,沒有反應。
167Please respect copyright.PENANA60UtoKjCun
167Please respect copyright.PENANAOSA9nK3zTi
「他居然突破了結界。對不起,這是我的大意。」翔太抹抹頭上因驚險而流出的汗。
167Please respect copyright.PENANA5yEPmoHtn5
167Please respect copyright.PENANAwKDuZgmakz
「不。是我鬆懈了。」早乙女搖頭。

此時,美娜也回來了。
167Please respect copyright.PENANAahefIoce06

「大家,沒事嗎?我見民眾回復正常了,所以我猜你們搞定了。」
167Please respect copyright.PENANAoVPS53ucH7
167Please respect copyright.PENANAbFzEwy3MkW
「雖然是搞定了,但伸一差點被殺了!」阿光憤怒地叫。
167Please respect copyright.PENANAQtPY59fjlC
167Please respect copyright.PENANA58uMJdeQs8
「啊?」美娜馬上看著坐在地上發呆的伸一。
167Please respect copyright.PENANAjNnb0Wn7fh
167Please respect copyright.PENANArSmMdFHDaI
「他……他想殺死我……」伸一吞吞吐吐地說出句子,驚魂未定。
167Please respect copyright.PENANAuuayNwMLE3
167Please respect copyright.PENANAHQrmhGg2G1
「那小孩呢?」早乙女問。
167Please respect copyright.PENANAEknZlWuSrL
167Please respect copyright.PENANA7F8uplkey9
「放心,他睡著了。我會抱他回家。」大輔背著那睡得正甜的小孩。
167Please respect copyright.PENANA3Q7ffv8Hmd
167Please respect copyright.PENANAZgf3ul7nfr
雖然得到了銀蛋,但大家也萬萬想不到,這次事件以如此程度的驚嚇作為句號。

晚上,伸一坐在床上,臉部還是沒有太多表情。即使在剛才晚飯時間,家人問起學生會的工作,我也只是一兩句了事。
167Please respect copyright.PENANAsk44IaAPbK
167Please respect copyright.PENANAN13y8P8RyH
當然,他沒有說起下午差點死去的事。
167Please respect copyright.PENANALGfF2egMbI
167Please respect copyright.PENANAhrHUxsLEsk
「嗚!嗚!」
167Please respect copyright.PENANAuqT5fKvodH
167Please respect copyright.PENANA6Vv7lqe0Ci
手機震了兩下,伸一打開手機,看到大輔的短訊。
167Please respect copyright.PENANABL4yu7bTv7
167Please respect copyright.PENANAhcN2koHPWg
「小次郎我已送回家了。他情況穩定,仍在熟睡。我現在正幫他做功課,店主正在照顧他。銀蛋交給我保管。今天辛苦大家了。」
167Please respect copyright.PENANAUykQeOux15
167Please respect copyright.PENANAXJDvMs0OJD
「太好了。他沒有事。」艾倫也在看短訊。
167Please respect copyright.PENANA9OhLXagO9N
167Please respect copyright.PENANAkGIsthFYcy
伸一緩緩點頭。
167Please respect copyright.PENANAIiOiQsV0Ys
167Please respect copyright.PENANAwHUmG2OKPS
「……喂,艾倫。」
167Please respect copyright.PENANAlvu4rnh1Ic
167Please respect copyright.PENANAdbx7j7otKV
「啊?」艾倫凝視主人。
167Please respect copyright.PENANAwKWHg9UsVC
167Please respect copyright.PENANA3HmSLSHVCQ
「再插手銀蛋事件的話,我會不會死掉?」
167Please respect copyright.PENANAnLhBDr2mWJ
167Please respect copyright.PENANAjkbUe4OVks
艾倫低頭,不知道如何回答他。
167Please respect copyright.PENANAMgd0eEdZKw
167Please respect copyright.PENANAkMtENVeR3h
「我明明只是初中生,為什麼我會掩入這類生死事件之中?」
167Please respect copyright.PENANABfBTWlnXdT
167Please respect copyright.PENANAHLSq1BsdQp
氣氛變沉重了。
167Please respect copyright.PENANApvVAIbmlIY
167Please respect copyright.PENANAMK3UnuLZ52
艾倫坐在伸一的肩膀上:「伸一,不論發生什麼事,我一定會保護你,不然守護甜心就不叫守護甜心。」
167Please respect copyright.PENANApOtwcSEaa4
167Please respect copyright.PENANA7PH9WnVFIb
伸一轉頭盯著艾倫,他的眼睛內雖然有不能掩飾的恐懼,但有更多的勇氣和堅定。他和自己一樣怕死,但他也繼續履行自己的任務。
167Please respect copyright.PENANAldXEy4uYJz
167Please respect copyright.PENANA9gsVPpZE7b
他用指頭摸摸艾倫的頭:「謝謝。」

小次郎刷刷眼睛,睡醒了。他坐在床上,眺望掛鐘,只是早上六點多。
167Please respect copyright.PENANA5VxfWR1viR
167Please respect copyright.PENANA2YuERl7ql8
他抓抓頭,感到奇怪。他記不起昨天發生什麼事,只是模糊記得自己掉了水彩畫後,遇上一位哥哥,之後的記憶都空白一片。
167Please respect copyright.PENANAZeE7SOou7s
167Please respect copyright.PENANANGeExAVjKj
然而,有一件事轟醒他的腦袋。
167Please respect copyright.PENANAVjrv0fkXCM
167Please respect copyright.PENANAXoGXjsvwhL
「我的功課!」
167Please respect copyright.PENANAHdpK3G877a
167Please respect copyright.PENANAADgTghJ5Zl
他跑到書桌前,但發現功課已整齊地放桌上。他翻閱功課,全部都做好了。
167Please respect copyright.PENANADfF1Wsl5Vo
167Please respect copyright.PENANAYi454bM1iF
最後,他留意到桌上有一張油畫,旁邊貼了一張便條。
167Please respect copyright.PENANALX1bhIK2fK
167Please respect copyright.PENANAvoIVWXTDS8
「小次郎,對不起了。大輔哥哥的畫畫技巧不太好,我已經盡力而為了,希望你原諒我。有不開心的事,記得說給爸爸或哥哥聽,我們永遠會聆聽你的話,接受你的心情。」
167Please respect copyright.PENANAbksKNWyAz2
167Please respect copyright.PENANANyzHp68aKx
小次郎仔細看看大輔的粗糙之作。畫中有兩個人,一大一小,拖著手,兩個都是星行者的造型,一樣掛著笑臉。旁邊的星星也因這兩個人而在白色的背景中歡笑。
167Please respect copyright.PENANAKL9rhrI2UN
167Please respect copyright.PENANAWodhynrWZy
小次郎掛上笑容:
167Please respect copyright.PENANA6RZxuqR9Uz
167Please respect copyright.PENANAj5ngRyQjRA
「謝謝你,大輔哥哥。」
