「嗚嗯……」趴臥在木桌上的人影發出呻吟，嘗試移動長時間壓迫的雙手卻不慎碰倒一旁的雜物，巨大聲響伴隨揚起的灰塵，里多這才夢境中醒來。36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLDU1DjslYW
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJVDN64LT8g
「咳、咳…」他不記得自己是什麼時候睡著的，但根據壓在他臉下東西來看，里多極有可能是在思考基礎法陣時失去意識的，眼前一堆幾何圖形加上他還不是很懂的符號，對一個剛進門的新手來說跟催眠曲差不多。36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYPNmLTWpeO
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMWYRXkVgev
「早安，里多。」

循著發聲處看去，里多的新夥伴坐在窗台邊，清晨的陽光從窗外照在她身上，使得原先淡黃色的毛顯得更為透亮，帝妲抖了幾下耳朵，似乎已醒來多時又或是一夜未眠。36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1hfpHYsA2G
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMopppQjv5G
「…嗯，帝妲妳也早安。」里多抓抓頭，還不是很清醒。36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMAZg4Nx9He
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz4MiKeWe9A
「先去洗把臉，我在客廳等你。」帝妲說完甩著尾巴離開窗邊。36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQqLiz02heJ
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhxfKT1P0fF
里多縱使感覺疑惑，還是乖乖走去盥洗，經過一段時間的相處，里多大致上能了解帝妲一些行為的用意。36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡec7a8GiX9D
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOlPovd4pM7
所以當里多走到客廳時第一眼就注意躺在桌上的包裹跟信。36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsOkQuNm350
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1i9EEdbBQn
「你的頭怎麼了？」36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU3Adqd8pO9
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBpMl7jYkWg
「嗄？」里多一恍神，下意識摸向問題處，「我試著沾水，它還是一樣亂翹。」36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXVYpfTw0Xo
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0vIbTI5qJQ
「那什麼？」36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJKLBnxwDBD
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJC4v49jW8J
「魔法協會寄來的信，應該是任務。」帝妲用鼻子頂了下信封上蠟封，說出她的推測。36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrP6TuAoUW8
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEzSGDK8I1T
里多小心的把信拆開，比起這個他更在意一旁的黑色盒子，但帝妲好像比較希望他先處理協會的事。36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnrHmswlrhC
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDUYpMDyCij
「信上說要我們重新繳交照片。」里多把信攤開放在帝妲面前，他知道她想自己再確認一次。36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8o9Z7PDV4C
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVbdvcIIzth
「原來如此。」36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbJrmkqPcMZ
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡflnoCvV6b5
「可是我沒有正式服裝。」里多當初只簡單收拾必要行李，更別提什麼魔法師正裝，在旅行前他還只是個普通小孩。36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJnxgLl7Vr0
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXdHkTrVXSK
「你現在可以拆包裹了。」帝妲說，用毛茸茸的前掌把包裹往里多的方向推。36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJbGqBtS7wZ
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFfYrwOdihu
他把盒子放在腳上，想起不久前收到的禮物，他清楚記得打開時的興奮情緒，那套父母親送的夏季套裝他還沒穿過，里多並沒有把它帶走。36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhcxllnEe9U
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSZYWKhx57c
里多掀開盒內包裝用的襯紙，摸在手心裡的黑色布料是柔軟的，帶有一點香氣，襯衫、領結、短褲，最後是一件長長的斗篷，里多翻遍包裹裡的東西，就是沒找到任何留言或署名。36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyVzPcrebgo
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVDP1puTjlF
他帶著不確定的眼神看向帝妲。36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFavj9GFAkg
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPinOzE7pJl
「…收下吧，這的確是給你的。」帝妲心裡清楚，但她認為還不是時候。36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWhGH4Bcxkn
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk4CyUiUVew
里多不覺得這是巧合。在那之前，他得煩惱的是該怎麼解決魔法協會派來的第一個任務。36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2ho7Isn1Kp
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE7w9Gfunp4
正裝有了，可…照片？36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ47rM5Mh2Se
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkwZmNJIqmq
停頓三秒，里多像是想起什麼跑回房間，帝妲則是坐在原地等待，經過一陣明顯是翻箱倒櫃的聲音後，里多回來手上多了個東西。36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm0VMPf3GM6
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgeZ8U3jGLK
「從出門到現在都沒充過電，我不確定它還能撐多久…」36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdgbyUqwisD
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9nYuQlKuZJ
是數位相機。里多一邊檢視一路到山脊城所拍的照片，原是是為了紀錄方向避免迷路，卻意外發現多數照片裡都能見到黃色大狗的身影，里多不由自主地揚起嘴角。36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR3vvesfESc
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7V5gKyzR5K
不知情的當事人甩甩尾巴，「那還等什麼，趕快拍拍回送任務資料。」36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu18KtCkRME
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqjbCcEz3j1
里多經提醒後回神，才看見電源顯示上頻繁閃爍的紅燈，果不然相機螢幕下一秒收黑。36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkv5CQxWLmR
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7YAngKWYJy
「啊！」36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2S6q9CrISK
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3rVTAIsstS
「我記得來之前有說過，山脊城好比原始村落沒水沒電，就算最近的有電城市也要走上三天路程，我敢保證絕對趕不上截止時間。」帝妲哼哼幾聲，走到一旁喝水。36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYS98WdIzEr
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7IMeYoSj8X
「嗯…下次開機就要決勝負了。」里多估算殘於電量還能拍一張照片，暫且放下相機，進而研究起只在電視裡看過的魔法師服裝。36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjVTIBWf2ZN
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLKF7VnCh8g
沒有想像中困難，就跟日常衣服一樣，不過材質讓人驚喜，意外的穿起來很舒服，不過－－－36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ72GyszBpLJ
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKPtlMInyDo
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWFSVS0p0b9
「斗篷好像太長了。」身型是符合但過長的下襬拖在後頭，里多不自然的拉著斗篷，帝妲則是歪著頭。36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoiojAv2XGb
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3XxqQNcQ4V
里多再次拿起相機，信上是說照片，但沒說明要全身、半身或大頭，而他只有一次拍攝的機會。36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp7c0doCqPc
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRcxlZ5186v
「帝妲，」里多很認著的看向黃色大狗，「妳能準確的按下快門嗎？」36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMrAhf4I4Id
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuPfDNPaamO
這陣子觀察下來，帝妲靈活的程度遠超越里多對狗的理解，但基於禮貌、他還是問了。36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2I7OwajZkb
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ94jgJ99AqT
「這我沒嘗試過。」帝妲想了一下，走到里多旁邊看著相機，快門的按鍵是依照人類手指的大小設計，她實在不確定自己能控制力道按下快門而不把相機扳倒，但她願意嘗試。36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvdn06bhPQE
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡedxWkvmGyD
一人一狗討論起較佳的拍攝場景，最後決定選在日照充足的臥房，雖然途中也有考慮是否找鄰居來幫忙，礙於一屋子雜亂不方便見客、二來後續解釋很麻煩而放棄。36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNQkp9B8ErH
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqV2u3cGsw6
里多搬過一張小矮凳，用幾本辭典加高好讓相機放穩，他熱得流出一身汗，一心只想趕緊把這見鬼的魔法師正裝換下。36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPsNRvubuPG
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7VjQEZWRYw
「妳確定妳可以吧、帝妲？」36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8sSjqOSxPH
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAkdRIVPs91
「即使我說不行也沒有其他選擇，還是你願意自拍？不想在協會出糗的話就快回去站好，想辦法把你的頭髮弄整齊比較重要。」36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ17DQCvnw6m
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIg7siz6E73
里多早就放棄頭上的事，他拍拍衣服上的灰塵，實際上他沒有拍正式個人照的經驗。36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmvDul7WgOo
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4Q0lllMpxt
他很緊張。36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGJQzyKaTGQ
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡermPgkm77a
「笑一個吧，沒必要連拍照都如此正經，碧翠絲他們不會因此幫你加分的。」36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ53xfnii7z3
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbPIudVdL7w
「妳記得開機鍵在哪吧？等鏡頭自動對焦後直接按下快門。」沒心情開玩笑的里多一心只想著相機的事。36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9l7gjyzP8S
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0dSHya9U6y
「應該…是這個吧。」36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR9gkHPa6Qg
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs51Gb8dY92
「妳開機了嗎？」36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeCzpqrmyYv
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡztmfdIcthA
「然後對焦……」36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ95q7Mlk6Nt
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS2QzluasFv
「我好像看到燈在閃，妳已經拍了嗎？有對好焦距嗎？妳－－」36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCbFJ3mgWlC
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRd7gIlnor3
「里多‧阿爾馮斯！你干擾到我了！」帝妲狠瞪一眼不安分的小主人，快速確認畫面後她艱困的操作前掌按向快門鍵。36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc0sbYe8oxU
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOg0suA6tW6
「………咦？」36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb3cBqjAmpt
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO2BK6nQo7H
「怎麼了怎麼了，有成功嗎？」很怕再被罵的里多盡量保持不動的發出疑問。36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡduwp53yRW8
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQgtEqUoCqi
「螢幕像你說的有閃一下，但怎麼還亮著？」36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQSXrhl4in7
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCtXhE71Za8
「它還有電！」里多衝向前，就在帝妲以為他要確認成果的時候，里多按下相機電源。36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGTny2hzo3y
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhYdDlSbSdi
「我剛就在想…假設我成功拍下照片，我又該怎麼把相片印出來。」36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFr6AuNNRcD
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNjyPpTr7V0
因為被相機沒電的緊張感過度刺激，完全忘記後續的步驟才是重點，帝妲張著水汪汪大眼，「把記憶卡寄過去？」36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAwe0xGTmRI
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjFmKEgf2n8
「不行！」36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBmjr7GL0qH
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8Y7q0P6qEy
「那你有更好的辦法嗎？」36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJjENQvQiaE
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPoZl0g8GfM
「………」36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmj12FXH9hQ
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmkkqg7Uimo
「沉默表示認同，就這麼決定了。」帝妲昂首搖尾的走離臥房，一大早完成重大任務後的她決定去吃早餐。36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNwDgODV9Xz
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlVGkjwKBmQ
被獨自留下的里多在床邊坐下，趁電源耗盡前飛快瀏覽記憶卡內那些關於過去的景象，最後他停在帝妲幫他拍的照片，螢幕裡的人跟之前的照片一比皮膚變黑，過去服貼柔順的黑髮被他剪短、髮尾還亂翹，此刻的里多還無法撐起法師正裝，過長的斗篷顯得他更為矮小。36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡESy60F96ny
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJfTiwj7J3H
螢幕第三次在他面前關上。36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡosZOJWyR3o
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMzn3ZmobmH
里多經過幾次深呼吸，抽出相機裡的記憶卡，小心地跟信一起放進魔法協會的信封裡。他換下黑白色的衣服套回短袖短褲。36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3pfoLoCFpv
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfZayt7owIZ
如何回覆任務什麼的晚點再問帝妲，他餓了。36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA0zh6MV6hf
