在某個中世紀風格的村莊內，一對少年男女正在夜空下圍著營火烤綿花糖。567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡio66NbgF5J
少年束著深啡色的短辮子，背上掛著一長一短的雙劍，腰間別了一支短弩，樣子就像是個經驗豐富的年輕冒險家。567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBxJiKSqDIa
而少女約莫十七歲，紮了一雙及肩的淺棕雙馬尾，身穿畫著紅色十字的短袖白袍，一副端莊的牧師模樣。567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlrRwnIc0D5
567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS3URKfuuLu
「抱歉啊，秋葉。」567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT5oc8cmogC
少年突然的道歉打破了沉默。567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE0KTiS8KPM
叫作秋葉的牧師少女有點吃驚，抬起頭呆呆地望向少年。567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGOOnp7w7fW
567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrzBlJuRDrV
「怎麼了，西維爾？為什麼忽然道歉？」567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMq6x8PSqmD
秋葉抽出腰包裡的毛巾細致地為少年擦汗。567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF0YZHXAiPj
567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZJQ1ySnWIn
567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSzMvC5n4oc
「明明再過三天就要成婚了，居然還要接下冒險任務……」567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfGwyaqPHlT
原來是這樣。秋葉微微一笑，伸指戳向西維爾的額頭。567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZqEK4B4BVh
567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb6wb5bLswI
「任務是我說要接的。不用內疚。」567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW7LmUsriBo
秋葉把軀體靠了過去，伸手把少年抱入懷裡。567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4aT5BiXI22
起伏的胸口感觸讓少年有點害羞，他連忙縮開。567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzer5Vio0mA
567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFoupS6g973
「未婚妻的擁抱不舒服嗎？為什麼跑開？」567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0xTNVp5qpe
「我……執行任務前要是太幸福的話，感覺會遲鈍的。」567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡID6oysqrpI
「本來你就遲鈍啊。要不然，應該更早之前就該知道我的心意。」567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlng2nyfXLF
567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgX1SjpcRbi
567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ71qkuOauHl
567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLH4bYnfDb5
567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ593UZ57N7S
567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ07gZdekLUn
兩人的故事從十二年前開始。567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyNL28SqMbr
秋葉是從遙遠東方遷徒至西方大陸的其中一個移民。她隨父母渡海時年方五歲。567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkYEPL7aeK7
她的父母選擇了一處鄉村定居。透支了一輩子旅行的他們決定在此終老一生。567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgMHQg011gG
雖然是個有著異國風名字的外來移民，但長著一頭亮麗棕髮和遺傳了東方移民嫩白膚質的秋葉很受男孩歡迎。567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHyigTagLyc
也因此，嗜吃甜食的秋葉時常從男生群中搶奪糖果，而大部分男生也會刻意退讓。567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsVEPI6AuJp
除了一個叫西維爾的男生。567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXhz9Rw7acj
他在秋葉奪過糖果時竭力掙扎，卻被秋葉動手打翻在地。567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa95CqErlZA
567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT0MA0h6J3M
567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg9Tq3t9Ule
此後秋葉時常糾集朋黨聯手欺負他，因此，西維爾整整一個童年都沒有糖吃。567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkcuyO5ViUm
567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcM1oEdkRc1
只是到了後來，兩人年紀漸長，西維爾已經不再是體格矮小任人欺負的男生了。567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCm3Uw1e7Sv
不過少年仍然會習慣性的存下午餐僅有的甜點留給秋葉搶走。567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6dCAjLTjLn
等秋葉注意到他那不自覺的溫柔的時候，也許是出於感動，也許是出於歉疚，她緊緊的抱住了西維爾。567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHtrlj72bq0
不論如何，兩人沒有來由的初戀就由此而起。567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCw2K6t8Zsr
567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgazH5tnygw
這片大陸並不和平。不知為何，每過幾年就會傳出墓地屍變的傳聞，來源不明的僵屍群和吸血蝙蝠在荒原迴盪。567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGkQJBrtLdp
幸而，兩人所在的村子附近並沒有它們的縱影。567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTaeRiRCH3Q
其他苦受僵屍徘徊之苦的村鎮不惜重金聘請冒險者驅逐死靈，而西維爾，也在其中之列。567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9P7rtqowmT
為了他，秋葉向村中牧師拼命修練白魔法，希望能為西維爾燙貼身上的傷。567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvDQXArIZho
567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnyFT2vKLa4
數年過去，兩人的團隊已經成了村中的驕傲，以僵屍殺手的名聲聞名四野。567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSoF3BzkcfQ
西維爾以獨創的劍術，精心打造的弓弩和豐富的野外求生知識打響了名頭，而秋葉則以超越師父的治癒魔法跟針對死靈的驅魔術聞名。567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMBwq7QZfwO
567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz3VlPKIM3l
567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP1mJMvR6Nn
567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI29BIVMVtw
兩人在弱冠之年賺了一筆不少的錢，並決定在結婚後退隱。567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOLTmDvxjSt
英姿勃發的西維爾和溫柔婉約的秋葉，兩人在村中是人人稱羨的情侶。567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjxcJisxTCf
567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPJoDUa2b07
在訂婚後數日，兩人所在的村子忽然發生僵屍襲擊。567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwVFA4oUf8R
這是前所未有的事。僵屍從未於這村子附近活動過，感到不安的秋葉為了家人接下了清除僵屍的任務。567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2Tvq7gUML1
現在，兩人在營火下作最後休息。567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9cD7tDxq8q
567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwXbj93Fez8
「還在想退隱的事？沒辦法啊，你也不想婚禮時有僵屍闖進來吧？」567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoiCFOcwNy7
秋葉調侃著未婚夫。567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmYlPwlGa8X
「唉，我只是覺得，為什麼在婚前才出現異常？」567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ25uwjUL79q
「那就解決掉啊，為了我們的將來。」567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4aZQCjEmIz
秋葉再一次把西維爾擁入懷裡，雪白的手臂包覆著少年的脖子。567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDUhIUmtK4i
這次少年沒有推開，雙眼直盯盯的望著秋葉的胸口。567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbaonWKczKK
567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYRjPvn6x74
「為什麼以前都不見妳那麼溫柔？」567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIqtMCxpGsp
567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX4pOV5rukU
567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFf3CbRU5G8
「大概是女生結婚前的真情流露。567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNItCkwAJXG
安心啦，婚後我一樣會溫柔對你。」567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwgXuyvZlQj
567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMutAnT2RDf
在秋葉的安撫下，西維爾在未婚妻的懷裡安穩地睡了一夜。567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrZEb2EsEqr
567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLr1wfCRGRH
567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡecF5T6nR9x
567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU0IAA98FVO
感覺到刺眼的陽光後，兩人同時甦醒。567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnnFcGbkYkq
純粹的死靈生物在陽光下難以活動。死靈魔法在陽光下難以維持效果，因此僵屍們會自行回歸山洞等待下一個夜晚。567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhEo6Z5sivu
西維爾決定尾隨屍群，查看僵屍的歸處是不是有死靈法師在操縱。567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5tirJXG9OZ
567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeHbCcMOw20
「九成的僵屍都朝同一處山洞進發。幾乎可以肯定背後有人從中作梗。」567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3kVWkddaTy
西維爾一邊迅速獵殺僵屍，一邊確認僵屍前進的位置。567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtHx5qOlPe6
「要小心喔。既然僵屍很集中，那就代表洞裡的戰鬥會非常艱苦。」567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9l4AactzRg
「對。所以要乘現在盡量減少僵屍的數量。」567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtcMn06nTzq
567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKio7yTRe08
567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQpVGBPVeOc
少年邊說著，邊以弩箭貫穿了一隻僵屍的腦袋。567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNPQV9hOww0
567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0N4yJ1XKji
兩人走到了僵屍集中的洞口。567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8yqmqKmgeG
預計的僵屍數目有近五十隻。追殺的路程上擊斃十五隻，剩下來的大概不到四十隻了吧。567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQd3KBWUrxe
對兩人來說，只是時間問題。567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFpqEpfGtFj
不過為了保險起見，兩人還是在洞口設置防線，一來為了呼叫補給隊運送物資，二來為了防止掉隊的僵屍不會在他們進入洞內後前後夾擊。567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlahQWehRwR
567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjqhC3pyxev
「對了秋葉。會不會後悔移民到西方？」567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYWz8cily9h
西維爾在目送補給隊離開時，嘴上忽然冒出這麼一句話。567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzwM1ckZTa2
567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMllLi9FLjX
「你突然在說什麼……如果後悔，那我就回東方了喔？」567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr1169Is0Bk
秋葉不由得給了他一個爆栗。567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9qRt4TnShF
567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj4elvP1wkx
「我的意思是，東方大陸沒那麼多的變異生物吧？567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYZaoC8Yi4U
要不要在婚後，一起重回妳的家鄉定居？」567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuRJ5Gbn4ni
567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpspGaUk9uD
567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQTK9spwJeI
「……你想得太美好了。要是家鄉美滿，我們又為什麼要走？567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOzLgShD2t2
比如，有一家莫名其妙的暗殺者家族四處誘拐兒童什麼的。」567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYuaUOpqWf9
「可是……妳想想，你們一家在這兒真的快樂嗎？」567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfOBWnJld2H
567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOGt1XZlcRz
秋葉沉默不語。567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7wAfg62CzT
父母是沒有生產力的移民，在村中備受冷眼。567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfhZw1SkbPd
這也是秋葉積極參與任務的另一個理由。除了保護戀人，她也要保護家人。567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAi4r1L7kLv
要是沒有她，恐怕父母將毫無維生手段。567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRoQIHxeCVu
567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG4uqWef5CY
「有你在，我就快樂。別想那麼多啦。」567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVKFpGi9v2j
「決定了。即使不回去居住，至少我也要跟妳去那邊旅行一次！567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnMCloYRZUk
對吧？阿基……阿雞……」567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡItEh2vqyhD
西維爾試圖用秋葉故鄉的語言念她的名字，卻怎麼也發不好音。567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHZdlr8xity
567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQSl4Feuf0F
「……秋葉（Akiha）。用你們平時的稱呼就好。」567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1EYgHAvkFe
秋葉笑著嘆了口氣。567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpOYZ8InZGG
村人一直沒叫過秋葉的本名，而是為她取了個當地語言的暱稱。567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡClPq2JFQZq
大概就是「紅葉」這樣的意思吧。567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmQ8Z50NyAd
567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ80GjmC6FsK
「總之，約好了。567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2eZJykVoG6
在我們愉快的退休生活中，其中一環就是四處旅行。」567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBh9mlitnL2
「……那又何必退休。退治任務一樣能四處走啊。」567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlKtjDV4iPE
「那不同！背著一身裝備跟旅行一點關係都沒！」567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjDGTIHFsp5
「知道啦知道啦。約好了就行了吧？」567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkDoAxjzh3e
秋葉邊敷衍邊推揉著西維爾。567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkNA0tR67K6
567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ39OeZIEdjn
單純得數十年如一日的少年，是她最好的禮物。567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUyXjshYEg6
拋棄家鄉的迷茫和悲傷都已消散。已經不再在夢中看見故鄉的風景了。567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLnwHb1yl34
567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDbKMwIgpNg
這是最後了。567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN2mzuN1uQA
也許這僵屍事件只是意外。567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ08S8N0dno7
解決了之後，世界就會重拾安寧吧。567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMGIuaXqo8t
每一片角落都有寧靜的風景，不必回到故鄉去找。567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4m15RIV2Xa
有你所在，無處不是家。567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfGyhwUtIpd
567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVGU8c4uCy4
567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYui1mAjagQ
567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHhlM2974FZ
567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn4R6VJ8KWY
567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR6Olo7gSCe
567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0xxudVMuHl
567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGoxKL1BN2b
「秋葉，緊閉鐵門！」567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuIfuPqyFgV
在接連不斷的僵屍圍攻下，兩人勉強尋到了喘息機會。567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfJRHd9SaZQ
少女在戀人進門之後，用力推上了鐵門。567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5nM8MlKc8K
567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxnOEpNYhXP
僵屍的數量遠遠超過了五十隻。567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLv14O33v4c
而且明顯有幕後操控者。僵屍的行動並不是毫無戰術，而是等兩人大意進洞後，大群遊蕩的僵屍才尾隨進洞展開夾擊。567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIMqdw2gRnf
567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPWJwxwJyrT
在不斷糾纏之下，兩人已迷失了離開的方向。567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfACRugHbdE
即使如此，秋葉和西維爾仍然保持冷靜。567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhXN5AHSU3s
畢竟這不是他們第一次身陷險境。567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzDkPFPYAlC
567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDUZqNXvk3V
「雖說我們被算計了，但遠不到絕望的時候。」567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ21sAV0mLFF
「對。幕後黑手就在眼前，只要解決他，僵屍就不再有人指揮。」567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLX7HFs5XMP
567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡinIMnbllmU
兩人深知突圍也沒用。567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQQqZsp0JKj
僵屍全堵在洞口，在那邊貿然消耗只會被黑手可乘之機。567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvPlnmBQXNS
倒不如強行深入，在被打倒之前擊斃首腦。567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmeki1AKcoF
567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT8Q8abxOOQ
成功潛入洞穴最深處。567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrMCYItXo4Z
裡面燃著火把，也有基本的生活用具。567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdyTiO4Wx5t
一個人類背對著兩人，正向著牆壁施法。567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡODod8xbSYX
567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRWPMhgQzlT
大概是召喚用的傳送門之類，一隻隻僵屍從傳送門中步出。567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLKgprH6wZ9
西維爾不發一言，無聲的抬起短弩。567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHDy5aSmN8N
咻的一聲，一根弩箭從面門刺入，貫穿了那名法師的頭顱。567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZbiyYvapsv
567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3fISkdF1oM
結束了。567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtf34KjuJjn
這是連僵屍都能殺死的致命傷。567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBuFJKgxUgF
567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ478gyL2Pnl
秋葉慢慢地接近了傳送門試圖關閉它，西維爾則確認了屍體。567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdjFXS6NhbP
「這……這傢伙……」567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ7zgPN4Y3v
「是任務委託者？！」567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ55qgYa3afV
567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw0m78sxwHN
男屍的面貌正是當初給他們任務的人。567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi8P6zwmf7n
他難道處心積慮想要引兩人過來？567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc6LdIcmfDD
不過他已徹底死去，真相大概會被埋藏起來吧。567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsCrWPhQ6uu
567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdY0Yz6euBs
門外突然傳來嘈雜的響聲。567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv9UlcOBWv0
「僵屍回到這兒來了？！為什麼，不是都解決了操控者了嗎！」567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFKgffHAEQw
秋葉感到事情正向最壞的方向發展。567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ52qLXa59iC
「秋葉，專心解除傳送門！門口我來擋住！」567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIQh69StNW2
西維爾拔出雙劍，像是牆壁似的擋在了門前。567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZxosAiCVBT
567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0wMzBi8I9N
少年前所未有的快劍掃除著大量僵屍。567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG0fVpnoO6i
雙劍的起落可謂風雨不透，多少僵屍同時沖擊都沒能突破。567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1AMc29SPe6
但如此消耗體力的劍舞又能支撐多久？567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKXrDI9vlCo
567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS5UZCTgZnB
只能寄望在秋葉解除魔法之後，能夠剩下一點餘力試圖突圍。567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiVIE5z8ja8
567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ0QQOHKX29
「呀！西維爾小心！」567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7lBaD8noJt
「？！」567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDEgVbi4u4u
567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8fGEYZh1NS
從傳送門後湧出了巨大魔力。567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjbUOsdD04W
秋葉及時閃避，西維爾聽到警告也急忙移開腳步。567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFkHkNpT379
可是，大門被巨大的魔力擊中，開始倒塌。567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm5sKoJkjeB
連忙翻滾閃避的西維爾，右腳被僵屍揮下的斧頭劈中。567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr8jbHKNWvH
567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE7rXmZMqSH
同時，沒有秋葉干擾的傳送門裡撲出了一隻僵屍。567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ593ujlaIVz
它直直衝向倒地的西維爾。567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmYO7txXj5r
567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCfR1qtCMcm
「休想！」567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpEnAqnOErD
秋葉雙手凝聚了全身的魔力。567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyOwCXbGkIR
少女以全身的力道撞向僵屍，同時左手按住了僵屍的頭顱，以白魔法一擊破壞了它的腦袋。567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1BaEjC2r2q
但秋葉絲毫不停，直直向傳送門突進。567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzAphqpEozG
567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwQzEQ9wsNk
傳送門就差一口氣就能關閉。567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUtR4gmARmi
無數僵屍正要在傳送門裡湧出。567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ23zUvZYDlF
秋葉感到自己從未如此勇敢。567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqovRYtNCVY
567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkCSftLbrIj
「要活下去啊！約好了！」567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTGIdb9Q8OU
「秋葉－－－－！」567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡACvrj8nWlO
567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbzBKxmpGDp
少女雙手同時按在傳送門上。567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTBBT7zF7R7
強烈的白光閃動。567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIHNRlrIwVI
567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0dTNFAujHx
在西維爾視力回復後，秋葉和傳送門皆已不見縱影。567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWYxkjMV21h

567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbz9qTh8Okb
重新睜開眼睛的秋葉，只看到一處密室。567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0BUD3HOfmS
裡面並沒有僵屍，只有一個穿著黑袍的人。567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ804OtZC6Dz
蒼老得快要死去的人。只能坐在王座上，連站起來也沒有力氣的老人。567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE27rDKg2rI
567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp6RmEjzdZ7
「初次見面，秋葉。」567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYsDTAzW6Hw
辨不出是男是女的聲線。567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2MUtKnosgm
「你是誰？我認識你嗎？西維爾呢？」567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbE3P2XKLB4
567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd0DVYEUIOX
老人臉上浮現了惡毒的笑容。567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWtK34a2v9M
「他沒死。真頑強啊，居然在單腳受傷後還能一人衝破重圍。」567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFgUagBQzjf
「看來你才是幕後操縱者？」567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwef29rbf6K
567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGMMh2mW2XN
「對。你們的委託人早就是我的吸血奴僕，是我吩咐他把你們引來的。」567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVQ8cKyCUTo
「……為什麼？」567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXoNaQUWy1A
「小姐，知道吸血鬼嗎？」567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh61YpUxP2t
567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE8QjGw1SHD
秋葉雖然沒看過實物，但還是從白魔法書籍裡看過。567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCMAaTsVWiK
擁有千年以上的壽命，需要吸血來維持自身，是人類畏懼的存在。567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH2IncI6Mzs
567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXswcSad1aw
「知道那又如何？」567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0KMkh5iYuA
「又到了一千年了。我需要下一個身體。」567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR1kAbg5uTd
567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbJoql12N9F
秋葉臉色不變，拔出袖底的小刀指向自己的胸口。567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1bFyLeOFcI
「我很忙，謝謝再聯絡。」567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeTaQ0Hrbva

「……你為什麼知道那麼多？」567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaBCtGjKpJ9
「我知道你們快要成婚了，才故意把你們引來。」567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAy9cU6mqjw
567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvNbmchi4lS
秋葉微微咋舌。567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqbzbfPvQdh
這傢伙有意針對自己，連情報都搜集得那麼細。567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡphQq4ApmdE
567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ57kBfSsDeQ
「不賭一下嗎？自殺了就什麼都沒有了。567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4GUP2Kr8SM
要是與我融合，也許妳還能跟我爭奪一下身體的控制權呢？」567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9nAzO9j4PC
「姑且聽聽好了。我該怎麼做？」567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6b8NFcDLGC
「用妳擅長的白魔法，把這具軀體毀掉。我的靈魂就能脫離身體。」567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx1Ozd2CKHX
567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlivryJQXgl
吸血鬼用乾涸的聲音嘿嘿笑著。567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ17US8Wk1aW
秋葉卻一點都沒有驚慌。567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQoBGttOkEx
567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT1WTn9hcJY
「你連自殺的力量都沒有了？」567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYu8yzZGfkB
她冷眼看著吸血鬼，彷彿她才是佔優的一方。567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT9dAJh1Fi4
「……567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAmiqF7XdHE
如妳所見。」567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡip1rgVHi86
吸血鬼不太情願地承認了這一點。567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjbvEXEQioP
567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtTF007QOKf
「那為什麼我要聽你的？」567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVQM1ogtjmB
「不然妳就餓死，然後我繼續發動僵屍找妳的未婚夫代替。567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDAYTum7y5k
慢慢考慮。千年我都能等，不差這一點點時間。」567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡleCvF5zrvJ
567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrgqEIwnVHK
雙方陷入了短暫沉默。567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6J3NpUw6Sc
567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpqE9F29hS5
「能問一下嗎？針對我們的理由……還有，即使那麼痛苦，仍然要活下去的理由。」567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5r3srr0VRz
「什麼痛苦？！我現在不知道有多愉快！」567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoPBZEHjwUR
567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIK4gYEThyp
秋葉張望了一下四周的環境。567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrtuRSXlp9b
她不覺得這兒是世界的一部分。567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqunsSIHyDT
她只覺得處於世界盡頭的虛空，雖說沒有痛苦骯髒的感覺，但也沒有希望。567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTnJWKT9cyI
567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLUZFFxdjiO
「在這兒待一千年究竟是有什麼愉快？」567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0AkoSHaNka
「比如，可以破壞別人的幸福，可以親眼看著可悲的妳永遠也看不見戀人的模樣！」567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQW6BKTxyPP
567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMFcliixDbl
秋葉的心像被狠狠鎚打了一下。567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcW9cAIYVAD
「……為什麼你愛看這些？」567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVv9AVLFL9b
「我恨人類。我恨這個世界。我什麼都怨恨。567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRvPsbFNojg
只有看著你們絕望的樣子，我才感到樂趣。」567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR287Y83HPZ
567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoCgIkcc7bE
秋葉嘆了口氣。567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiwet65L0od
小屁孩活幾千年，也只活成了老屁孩。567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzH4HolgqqY
567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3Mo90QtzfX
「再姑且問問。你換過多少次身體？」567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDNNTaWJ7ys
「……問這個幹什麼？大概三次吧。」567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5UNTTuWPbR
「一千年一次？都沒有離開過？」567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSrLXUUFe4Y
「對。又關妳什麼事？」567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv2RuSDboev
567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk5KjCghmhO
「我感覺你比較可悲。」567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3wtJ79aycn
秋葉不禁露出一副看著智障的眼神。567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyvRlu77AOz
「可……可悲什麼？」567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIi5HhgXpL1
567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOLf8aW7Kpl
「即使是吸血鬼，靈魂也有存續的限制。567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGqWUciX2b8
換了身體也不能挽救你靈魂的衰老。就算我跟你合作，你依然沒有哪怕站起來的力量。567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpBSkQSPCBb
你連愛都沒有能力。」567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt9n6d8523u
「難道妳就有了嗎？！妳還不是要一生待在這兒？！」567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1pehFJKFB9
吸血鬼大聲怒吼。567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOvgHVLBDqX
567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMeuyhG4t5q
「曾經有過。不，現在我依然有愛的人。」567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI4FeIwhSy5
567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoRhz6q0SVI
吸血鬼的嘶吼逐漸啞了，秋葉聽見了他無聲的啜泣。567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNKvTfBDrzj
也許他也有過吧。只是三千年後，他也只剩下了無言的記憶。567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtRS62FAZxZ
567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnjBxvGJ5yq
「……妳說對了，但也別得意。」567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNGMsANLpuM
「我沒有得意什麼。」567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu2crx5ePpf
「妳靈魂的同調率跟我很高。這也是我選擇妳的理由之一。567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9UV6iqGJO1
妳也有變成跟我一樣的潛質。妳自己想想，要是碰上了嫉妒，怨恨，孤獨這些感情，妳會不會跟我一樣？」567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEcuI5oFnyV
「……」567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6zr1957INp
567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKTYhsqScWE
這下到秋葉無言了。567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx3uTg6kBka
567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡADP2RoIA9k
「我不否認。」567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz4YHe5aXGi
「妳的陰暗面也許自己還沒發覺。雖然妳是人，但已經隱約有惡魔的雛型。」567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgR2DFbFqrE
「人能成為惡魔，也能成為天使。567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡplJGfq8eF8
不……即使是惡魔，也能選擇成為人類或者天使。567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4EB024xAD0
你也是。」567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSO2kxBQYef
567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGV794qy5nM
吸血鬼還沒質問這句話的意思，就被秋葉的白魔法化為了灰燼。567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGNwo3xBLti

567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9riRAc3F5n
567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC5SQb7MsFx
在長年的夢中，秋葉看見了無名吸血鬼的夢境。567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1Tf10pryLs
大半是在虛空中渡過。可是，在原初的夢裡，也許還是有過幸福的事。567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBgOTrlVRQM
他也有拼命守護過的事物。有過善良的本性。567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdNyQGvjqqb
即使是現在，他也沒有完全否定過自己的善良，而是把自己當成受害者。567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy8nwJLsLLt
因此想要報復。但沒有真正仇恨的對象，每次報復都只是對空氣揮空拳。567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtpRTre6d0k
567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXp8gYeNaQ3
吸血鬼一開始成功掌控了秋葉的身體。只是，他沒能像以往一樣，把原主人的靈魂消滅。567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhrVYgleU9Z
因為，這次他也看見了秋葉的夢。567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiz7cHUHR2s
秋葉夢裡的西維爾，看起來就像三千年前的他。567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ54Ciqo19wY
他終於發現，死撐著活到今天的理由，就是為了記住自己曾經的溫暖。567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiWspO5DON1
567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4Kc1IwNb8L
他居然開始擔心秋葉會否無聊，而把自己的死靈魔法知識傳給了她。567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeX6iDSCR1h
包括自己種族的歷史在內。567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZf0H7k9ZlN
也許已經無法挽回所犯下的錯。只是，秋葉只以微笑回應自己的道歉。567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGKCPf7lVKb
567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGtKuGzusxv
秋葉在多年間苦苦周旋於死靈化的自己和千年吸血鬼的意識。567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTEYMAhzyp9
從相互抵觸，憎恨直到近年間的互相學習和忍耐，秋葉感覺意識的融合開始沒那麼痛苦。567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPpcPUAJHud
直到吸血鬼的聲音再也不在腦裡出現後，秋葉相信他已在千年孤寂中獲得安寧。567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxQRwi4Ymjh
最後的一段話是，感謝她在自己人生的終點，讓他回想起人與人之間的溫柔。567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡATQDw6MEw9

567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpmiDxjDVBB
567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWc8xXvGmNw
多年間，秋葉第一次重新睜眼。567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRHCnXNZIml
毫無疑問這身體已經死靈化。呼吸和進食都已經不是必需的事。567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8DSb9xCD5c
身體沒有不適的感覺。也許無名的吸血鬼一直在活動這身體吧。567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2DXo7B1pPx
只是感覺到他已經不在了。567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCT4vMBdwPD
567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbIZPyeFtqk
作為最後的禮物和道歉，吸血鬼即使耗盡靈魂，也把她送回了最初的那片山洞。567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyUkOYsgoUo
他花了很多時間。強行撐起朽壞的靈魂，架設起回到現界的通道。567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGOV6yH6W1G
也許靈魂已經老去，但只要能喚起真誠的心，仍能召來奇跡。567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhqVrEQ4mh1
567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGkkGFf6j1c
那座倒塌的大門還是這樣沒變。地上是西維爾拋下的，已經生鏽的弓弩。567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMK9krQFWFJ
567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7mukehB6Y1
「……謝謝。你做得很好。567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyo89kCdwVM
如果有靈魂的世界，我會再向你道謝。」567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf7V541SmeZ
567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlVhZWTE6FV
秋葉一抬手，強大的魔力把崩壞的大門打得粉碎。567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLPNAsjDdOx
567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoqVtsXozld
彷彿像以往厭惡的死靈般從洞裡爬出。567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXJvYGEYgGf
算是起死回生嗎？不，自己根本不算還活著了。567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNoVyTOuetU
從生到死走了一回，除了容顏未改，靈魂已完全跟死靈同化。567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ7tkQpxks6
567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgrpemLdxH0
洞口設置了大量路障和符咒，但這絲毫擋不住秋葉。567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvUa4Bq2CZ4
曾幾何時，明媚的日光竟照得眼睛刺痛。567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4IU08Iad4h
是吸血鬼化的原因，還是單純是多年沒照過太陽？567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe4Tlr35M9k
但即使皮膚灼痛，仍能感受到生命的芬芳。567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMquYbTWFV9
567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbFIWZ1KEy1
循著久遠的記憶回到村裡。果然，已沒有人再認得自己。567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOq2J8GtiAg
父母的舊居住著不認識的外人。打了聲招呼後得知，父母已是前幾代的住客。567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmKWe369sFK
－－詢問下得知，距離最後的任務已經過了二十年。567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcVcvyenVwe
567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmW4v2kIQE6
是好是壞？567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxV1zIHfywa
雖然是及時回來了，但為什麼不只過幾天就好？567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0PeU2z1MkC
那麼，她還能趕上婚禮時回來。567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRwxhZ1kxVS
567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6CQ7TaTfUo
567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtUchpx9Vm7
567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn49GuSzxmY
黃昏下各處家庭已亮著燈光。567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOteh7Hyt3S
西維爾家門牌卻仍掛著他的名字。內心中不知是喜悅還是惆悵，秋葉輕敲了數次家門。567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU3y1b9lRU4
好香的飯菜味道啊，好多年沒有聞過了。567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ84jjoHxhOP
567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV09OWeBbIq
大門敞開。567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSWFRcf5j1N
不認識的孩子叫著大姊姊。567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbkCz7ZPWKg
567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMHMsHLwbkS
秋葉顫抖著問道，這家裡有沒有叫西維爾的人。567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTbdqyydOqH
孩子轉身喚了聲爸爸。567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCl1BOkB5PW
比起失落，秋葉反而感到心上人無事生還的安心感。567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC8UK7m9YKE
567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡegyawNIBpD
約定，沒有被打破。567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN5ZxmYyaHU
567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZFz8wndZmg
「請問有什麼⋯⋯」567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFZpNP6XKdd
一名青壯年男子走了出來。567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV3XOGPKsVI
看見秋葉，他連呼吸都停了半刻。567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQNx44atC4p
記憶深處的女子，彷彿從夢裡走了出來。567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxIJfLH4XdW
567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJmTAqpoI1G
「我很擔心你。幸好，被僵屍斬傷的腳沒大礙。」567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbepifVURgX
秋葉溫柔地笑著，就像當年把未婚夫抱在懷中的笑容。567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoGKrGl2qiR
但再也沒法為他燙貼了。死靈的軀殼再使用白魔法的話將會崩壞。567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1koOz1f35F
567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJxALd3rSnz
而且，他腳上有別人為他治療的痕跡。567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVVfiXPu2EJ
雖然不是魔法，但可以看出，同樣是溫柔女性的細心呵護。567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAx9pRyjF79
奇怪的是，完全沒有嫉妒。只覺得慶幸，這些年沒有自己的日子他並不孤單。567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNJmIJ9U3nn
567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO56FjMfWfL
「妳……沒有死？」567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtKFWUc0k8B
「怎麼說呢，也許我還有留戀吧。」567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmDqGjydPGI
567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwiszbrMprI
其實已經沒有了。567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkGC8Wvpp01
他已經過得很好。567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLI1X4GR6Qr
567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcunheg46ws
西維爾突然緊緊抱住了秋葉。567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWQEo9qHolN
但就像當年推開未婚妻般，秋葉輕輕掙開了他。567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgw7BLNbIdi
567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMmTyFOHdjH
「你知道我爸媽怎麼了嗎？」567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT8VDz09X5V
西維爾馬上低下了頭。567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD6p4ugxbxM
在反覆追問下，秋葉得知母親在自己失縱的一天驚嚇過度去世，父親則於數年後孤獨地在家中嚥氣，直到西維爾例行前去探望時才發現了腐爛的屍身。567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡErzDSzgQop
567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCY4PSYQj98
即使早已料到，秋葉仍不禁流下了淚。567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUBVdqYw49M
西維爾向妻兒報備後，兩人前往秋葉父母墓前參拜。567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT9sYrs8fwh
567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQbeW8qDlpT
「爸爸有沒有抓住你的手，要你把女兒還回來？」567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3WJUVUQtxV
「什麼？沒……沒有……」567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWO9hckcDx4
西維爾慌張地辯駁。567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHH9iyRImsD
567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz29OE6G69L
「至少我比你了解他。沒關係，這絕對不是你的錯。」567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZEop8VsYaT
「……秋葉。跟我一起走吧。無論過了多久，妳變成了什麼，我都一樣愛妳。」567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjY7fRtdEDe
參拜過後，西維爾在回程途中握住了秋葉的手。567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjKgtxSsdF8
少女的愁容上出現了一絲笑顏。567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwcBku19aXv
567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj6dIEdij5w
「人到中年還是個笨蛋。」567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡazkhzluhAx
秋葉知道，西維爾不會虧待自己。567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkZ5MCYpKP0
所以－－自己才不能輕易破壞他已有的美好家庭。567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4Y8GUqOqKz
567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5h4tcpzTTF
「秋葉！我依然愛妳－－」567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY0HZ2iGFR3
「回家吧。你妻子在等你吃飯。」567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvXFvKeJHW9
567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdjPHgaIy8v
秋葉溫柔的抱著西維爾。567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcxM6YMr31O
567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBWZvTD1jxO
未婚妻受了致命傷，繼而在礦坑掉入封印，誰都會認為她已不再生還。567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyjBGN91vh9
那麼，續弦也算不上花心。要是他苦忍二十年不娶，秋葉反而會更傷心。567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdsJZoAWPko
567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtZYDnGx0zL
567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfOvDAFnE34
567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡID58nshOGm
567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZGNNnv5fXu
567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN9M1HiReFn
「很香的飯菜。你娶到了好妻子啊。」567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfUudKV8DXP
這頓飯美味得能緩解心中的悲傷。567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuzIhf1ZCE1
比起缺席二十年的自己，秋葉知道剛才忍心拒絕他是對的。567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUxTMPKPgvC
567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvf1SosyBFu
「老公，這女孩親近得感覺就像跟我們家認識了很多年呢。她是誰家孩子？」567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡydkV5RgxJE
「朋⋯⋯朋友的孩子。」567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7uECyb4gS3
雖然是自己教他這樣說的，但西維爾口中這樣形容自己還是令秋葉百感交集。567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx3usjhB0so
567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcXTgQqBkLv
飯桌上，西維爾仍然習慣性地留下了一小份甜點。567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMNaq2S0sW2
可是現在會把它搶走的，變成了他的孩子。567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYEwBCGbPTg
567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZwHH0STkwy
家中掛著當年的雙劍。其中長劍已經折斷只剩一半，短劍也早已生鏽。567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHItdsE0njI
他這些年真的退休了吧？567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8h8i2YNDAq
西維爾如今走路也一拐一拐的，似乎當時受了永久性的傷。567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFWU1nehvgq
567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZRhUK8AEIq
是該與過去永遠訣別了。567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNXkBUH9op0
567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7gh4EREv5j
567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHTKwX4O6A6
567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTZWxUby6Im
「了解現實了沒？」567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ07mtBTjfNe
飯後，秋葉像是教導孩子似的，對一把胡子的西維爾說教。567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaFfiEnyoXb
「了⋯⋯了解。」567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIdYuFSTw3y
真沒辦法呢。秋葉拿出毛巾擦了擦西維爾臉上的淚水。567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlHCSwG9mwt
567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYTPdchCBA8
「你妻子很賢淑，孩子很可愛。你已經有世上最好的家庭，即使我不在其中，也不值得遺憾。」567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnr5HVAoGHu
「可是⋯⋯」567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ15gITbcaFI
「還可是什麼？剛才說得還不夠清楚？」567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGxrPGfTmbq
567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFwdocGWL7i
西維爾像是在猶豫該不該說。567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbF0niGc2DE
終於，他鼓起勇氣大聲疾呼。567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS86GsfDHQ1
567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDvSPzOlWCO
「可是妳呢？！無論怎麼說，我都說過會照顧妳一生一世！難道我就能讓妳孤身一人？！」567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuDNsX4ROQd
秋葉到此終於忍不住為他流下淚水。567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1IvIsbgTBp
對。秋葉完全沒法不介意。567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtoi7OXfcKo
自己苦等二十年，最終仍是這樣的結局。567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4k7jpA0s3I
567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpjtPe4BCOj
「⋯⋯那你有想過，我留在你家就會不孤獨嗎？567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrE5gLPw8fc
我天天看著一個已經無法再回去的家庭，就會幸福嗎？」567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTgy80cn7AV
567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV4eOQhdvSz
秋葉也許能融入吸血鬼的靈魂，但肯定再也無法融合西維爾的家庭了。567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIMdq6FogQF
吸血鬼缺乏人與人真誠的愛，但西維爾一家不缺。567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDfgVvhqMJZ
秋葉知道，自己什麼都不能帶給他們。567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIxifOYB9M1
567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTdVo3BtizI
兩人相對無言。567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG9zMeUzxPs
「⋯⋯以後，還能再見？」567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA7dzv4htVa
西維爾感到告別將至，低聲問道。567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡptXop5HupA
「等我能夠釋懷之後，會再回來。」567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv5JGlOAE54
秋葉望著遠方的星星說道。567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqCvHn3DSZP
567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOyKcffWspZ
「你也是。不用抱著歉疚感。總有一天我也能⋯⋯擁有能夠安心的地方。」567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVPedQvEcWo
秋葉沒再等西維爾回話，化作了蝙蝠飛向遠方。567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJYnoOBgpn4
