2161年2月19日，早上八點，黑教堂，北棟544Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcNfET3mucW
544Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJvAi9pKHAx
544Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0M1bltuCo6
不需要鬧鐘就自動睜開眼睛，梳洗完畢的檸檬打開衣櫃，發現除了媽媽的衣服，還有一件用塑膠套罩著、屬於她尺寸的黑色教袍。544Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ81hvMjtufk
544Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIglh86lo5l
他們想讓檸檬受洗、成為薩拉凱爾教的一份子──檸檬早就有心理準備。她乖乖換上那件黑色教袍，掛上金色的十字架項鍊。544Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBQpyCXBWBF
544Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkgV2Qa7FGj
「扣、扣。」544Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1uSmfhlfGe
544Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiboMwMsxSd
八點半，一分一秒不差，敲門聲。檸檬打開房門，她的小舅舅──賴冰河正站在外面，依然是那張嚴肅的臉，與教袍格格不入的深藍色頭髮。544Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3loPqvc7Ih
544Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgjXcYTI2lg
「早安。」544Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3otGWxGGDj
544Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtu3b8BYr6p
基於禮貌，檸檬向他打招呼，但賴冰河沒有說話，只是瞥了她一眼，然後冷漠轉身、邁開步伐；檸檬本就不期望賴冰河會回應自己，只能默默跟上去。544Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLDTe4bKCDn
544Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY2GXkvTfma
544Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuQenUyuzmL
「還真冷漠啊。」544Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe49VEWshgL
544Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvx04wjse4r
544Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3KAQ3SuEKe
羅笙的聲音突然在腦中響起。檸檬左看右看，整條走廊只有她和賴冰河兩人，驗證了羅笙昨天所說──不論距離多遠，他們都能用蜘蛛糖的頻道溝通。544Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ29K0jXa5t5
544Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6QwUN2d2hm
「你昨晚沒經過我允許，就讓我睡著了。」544Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5tjAyQfGZK
544Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhJzmeCgoUd
想到自己竟然連睡眠都被控制，檸檬用頻道控訴羅笙：「我不喜歡這樣，請你適可而止。」544Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxC6J3QPHQB
544Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡITWVgxl26m
「小天使，妳該慶幸我只是讓妳睡著，不要跟我鬧脾氣。」544Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTV8bJ87tje
544Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYRAsVIt91B
聽聲音，檸檬就能想像羅笙那高高在上的表情，她真的好想揍人。544Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡub7eSTo7Kk
544Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQcknLgtjwB
「機會難得，要不要試用我昨天給妳的人事資料？」羅笙突然說：「賴冰河是什麼樣的人，妳不好奇嗎？」544Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPlfB0OCIMK
544Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5TQPvLp0yr
「……。」544Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFP7KVk92vy
544Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUIOgkOWx21
早上梳洗時，檸檬就想通了──蜘不蜘蛛無所謂，她現在的首要目標是完成任務，檸檬不介意借力使力，使用羅笙賦予她的蜘蛛糖。544Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU7zXPqUSIc

544Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ344i7ncTmz
腦中傳來機械口吻的女人聲線，檸檬盯著賴冰河的背影，神奇的是──所有和賴冰河有關的資料，都用綠色的文字顯示在旁邊。她一邊走，一邊快速瀏覽這些資料，看看有什麼特別之處。544Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI3d14R0fAp

544Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnJXzOHyBra
544Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGZvrQUWAn7
其他條目都很正常，直到最後一個──檸檬滿頭問號地瞪大眼睛。最後更新時間是昨天晚上，也就是說，昨晚賴冰河送檸檬回房後，立刻上網查了這些。544Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtPJ0dMo25g
544Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ8geioVm1Y
檸檬用頻道問羅笙：「為什麼有『網路搜尋紀錄』？」544Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFGmvHoqAeG
544Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY3Vvc92cf7
「別小看它，那非常有用。」羅笙回答：「人類會對人類說謊，但對網路不會。搜尋紀錄能判斷對方在想什麼、策畫什麼、在意什麼。」544Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcNWJLeadKb
544Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhzxDaSaRvt
看著賴冰河嚴肅而挺拔的背影，很難想像他正為「如何和外甥女打好關係」這種事煩惱。既然會特定搜尋，自己應該沒有被討厭……吧？544Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCQOYBYbwnp
544Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPolvaKKbE8
就在這時，檸檬發現走在前面的賴冰河在用手機，她的資料也同步更新：544Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpajVg9FXAt

544Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3995TxDj3B
544Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmvuHDFqzuU
──沒錯，就是現在，賴冰河正在不知所措，因為他不知道怎麼跟檸檬搭話。長相兇惡的人竟然在煩惱這種事，檸檬覺得有點好笑。小舅舅並不可怕，也有笨拙的一面。544Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs0OY0roNgH
544Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA64nm6W6xz
「早安，冰河叔叔。」544Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcVTGEFuIFo
544Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQQLPiTEK7X
一名同樣穿黑色教袍、年紀約二十出頭的男子從轉角出現，朝氣勃勃地和賴冰河打招呼。544Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWn2Opj8WWx
544Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSHPpSaGwV4
「咦？這位莫非是……？」544Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE32vsBPHrq
544Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1b1cApo6DZ
男子發現跟在賴冰河後面的檸檬。檸檬微微鞠躬，禮貌地自我介紹：「早安，我是安琪。」544Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2bXKohO2Gq
544Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbxibSBBgYn
「啊！我想起來了，是雪檸姑姑的女兒！」544Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGUehqAmf0F
544Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWgVJDUWZg1
除了賴梓柔，只剩另一個人會稱雪檸為姑姑。男子也向檸檬自我介紹：「我是賴梓威，薩拉凱爾教十二使徒之一。之後好好相處吧，安琪。」544Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCcoU2YP7Dc
544Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIwsbt9wIvr
賴梓威的笑容很爽朗，一副鄰家大哥哥的長相，怎麼看都是教養好、腦袋好、個性好的完美男友人選。檸檬開啟分析系統，審視著賴梓威的資料。544Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxn8oqWp5J2

「冰河叔叔負責照顧這孩子嗎？」544Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHCEo9OvrJb
544Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0MCIZWPQsT
賴梓威是繼賴霜原後，第二個敢和賴冰河聊天的人，這讓檸檬更加確信自己的猜測，賴冰河只是臉兇，人其實不壞。544Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq2hA0s2iAh
544Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI9BF0T4ScW
「嗯。」544Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpPqWANrgmT
544Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj0hTXyznn5
賴冰河的回應很冷淡，賴梓威習慣叔叔的說話方式，繼續用開朗的聲音跟賴冰河聊天：「真難得，我以為冰河叔叔這禮拜，都要忙著打遊戲。」544Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuL9xcipfa7
544Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2J8ORMQT3C
「這是你爸的命令。」賴冰河嘆氣，「他說我是全服第一，這次活動可以放掉。」544Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq9HdnUnfxm

「哈哈！爸爸每個禮拜，都會去官網看排名。他知道叔叔一直都在榜上，叔叔超厲害的！」544Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6F8rnlQgG7
544Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXw44FHCT7d
賴梓威和賴冰河聊得很愉快，一旁的檸檬意識到：教主一家的感情很好。不論賴霜原對賴冰河、賴冰河對賴梓威、兩位舅舅對死去的賴雪檸……他們的階級觀念沒有謝氏嚴重，家人之間能像這樣聊聊遊戲、關心生活、知道對方的興趣嗜好，關係非常親密。544Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡimOSMem8So
544Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd5Tjx2kxVC
那麼，賴梓柔是怎麼回事？544Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5hgHOCGl6Y
544Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP8fhhpaeXd
賴梓柔對家人的厭惡，不是裝出來的。她為什麼討厭薩拉凱爾，甚至不惜與神與畜聯手？難不成，有問題的不是這個家，而是賴梓柔？544Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyzJiWROfbm
544Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtkj3K88kHB
「不過，想想也真划算。」544Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCvWkiZHKfW
544Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxklecaVtlu
賴梓威突然這麼說。檸檬回神，發現賴梓威用那雙清澈的眼，向自己投來一個真誠的目光。544Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjjOY8m1n2i

心臟彷彿漏了一拍。那一瞬間，檸檬覺得賴梓威很可怕──他還是那副雙朗的笑容，聲音依然朝氣勃勃，可是，他不覺得自己的話有什麼不對，這種理所當然的態度讓檸檬毛骨悚然。544Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZHv7HAEVMk
544Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM1SMvfnxzt
544Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWPhLziiGGa
為什麼？544Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8weOOSj9NB

「梓威。」544Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsxmpbysMgb

察覺到檸檬的眼神有異，賴冰河瞪著賴梓威，警告：「不要在小孩面前說這個。」544Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPU0Lk9uJG2
544Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAGNMyKhicX
「啊，抱歉。」544Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0ZG4SRGoNJ
544Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhJGaRBb1Vo
賴梓威這才意識到自己說錯──不是覺得自己言論有誤，而是場合不對；他不該在檸檬面前提起那骯髒的存在，他只承認這一點。544Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGQROAQ7hyA
544Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpdJgo31gKN
「冰河叔叔，我先去餐廳了。」544Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWqGDQsQvxb

544Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA4Zcf7kvAT

544Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡccUOxIEfwX
說自己的妹妹骯髒、是惡魔，還說很划算。544Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7iN675b2kD

544Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdXkTdpli8L
544Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx116DX3lcQ
賴梓威離開，檸檬和賴冰河的氣氛變回沉默，但現在的檸檬沒有心思，她只在意賴梓威剛才的話，彷彿從中明白了賴梓柔──為什麼她總是皺著眉，為什麼她討厭這個家，甚至，不惜毀掉這一切。544Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLqV751PXgD
544Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDAUV5WErYS
「不用在意他的話。」544Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlucWTaQGQY
544Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgKkflLpWfS
賴冰河突然開口，檸檬一度以為自己聽錯──她的小舅舅竟然主動搭話。檸檬看向他，第一次凝視賴冰河深藍色的眼珠。544Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRaVbuSa1Ue
544Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQLNzOXpjyY

544Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpI5PnQ3K0X
544Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVO12z8iSFr
看著賴冰河的眼珠，檸檬很想問他：你也認為賴梓綾是白惡魔嗎？你也是折磨賴梓綾的其中一員嗎？你也覺得賴梓綾很骯髒嗎？544Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡviIxmazWY5
544Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVDzDUJJrNz
你也覺得，水果塔是罪惡的存在，是需要被抹殺掉的基因嗎？544Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRrCQkOIvjT
544Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVyEfjCFcdC
問不出口，檸檬發現自己問不出口，因為她怕賴冰河回答「是」──要是這樣，小舅舅會變成敵人。賴冰河是會為了她、去搜尋那些關鍵字的人，檸檬不想與這樣的小舅舅為敵。544Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡppdq1fRwRF
544Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLK1RyqXC4T
「走吧，我們也去餐廳，妳應該餓了。」544Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7NEBjXvm6R
544Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiBGJzIFo4T
見檸檬沒回應，賴冰河也不多說，繼續幫檸檬帶路，但這次不是走在前面，而是放慢步伐、走在旁邊，跟檸檬並肩同行。544Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuADWV8qPkl
544Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡphpEwUbl5T
來到餐廳，檸檬承認自己被嚇到了。她曾看過某部魔法電影，主角們用餐的食堂擺了好幾張長桌，同一學院的人肩並肩坐在一塊兒吃飯，薩拉凱爾的餐廳就是那個模樣，只差沒有巫師袍，也沒有可愛的貓頭鷹來送信。544Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYJcB29OCgd
544Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD4BiJDMJfn
巨大的餐廳擺著三張長桌，分別坐著男人、女人、小孩，大家開心地互道早安、聊天。三張長桌的前方，有一個橫著擺放的長桌，總共十二個座位，位子都是面向人群。檸檬看見賴梓威坐在其中一張椅子上，她猜那是十二使徒的座位，蜘蛛糖系統也驗證了這一點。544Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1h6cr3IVFt
544Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf41RrMi4hk
至於她的座位在哪，檸檬跟著賴冰河來到最前方──十二使徒的座位後方，走上階梯，上面也有一張長桌，但桌椅和餐具比其他人高檔。長桌中間是主教，左右兩側是副諮理，賴冰河的位子位於主教左方，旁邊多了張椅子，是檸檬的座位。544Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCwXxFKYy5B
544Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcD4Vbl3W8I
這個高度放眼望去，能看清楚每個人的臉孔，同樣地，薩拉凱爾的眾人也能看見她。檸檬的位子被安插在賴冰河旁邊，超級顯眼，不引人注目都難。544Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡstpBFZQPLF
544Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqsK7FuhPSg
「坐下吧。」賴冰河跟檸檬說。544Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo4tcFvYm8y
544Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdXp0hFH8eA
「請問，」檸檬第一次主動搭話：「你們都是這樣，大家一起吃飯？」544Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEpQkGqo2gi
544Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjaUwqLtVuW
賴冰河點頭，「在黑教堂，大家的生活作息都綁在一起，少數人例外。」544Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOFAkSOVP0n
544Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLOzrrSGGVw
賴冰河說，眼睛瞄向十二使徒的座位。大部分的使徒都已就位，唯獨賴梓威旁邊的位置是空的。544Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuYO2TWg6fo
544Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZPCPj8ZukO
「所謂例外，是賴梓柔嗎？」檸檬問。544Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjvabt5RnAs
544Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyUdXyST1DP
「那孩子跟大家不一樣。」賴冰河表示：「梓柔討厭人多的地方，喜歡獨自行動。」544Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcBopLuIUgO
544Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCNPhLrhsZd
賴冰河說得很委婉，其實賴梓柔被大部分人當成異類，礙於是賴霜原的女兒，又是十二使徒之一，大家才不敢多嘴。544Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWTsY47pKGD
544Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4QQxyaLclL
「還有人沒到嗎？」544Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUgTbiarYki
544Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1b2HK0Z6TR
慈祥溫和的聲音從旁邊傳來，穿著主教教袍的賴霜原走到賴冰河旁邊。看見主教到場，整個餐廳立刻安靜，所有人的目光都看向前方，同時，不少人的目光也集中到檸檬身上，這讓她很不自在，幸好遺傳了里奧的面無表情，她看起來非常鎮定。544Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQAkYPiiX2G
544Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfqHcusY0CG
「父親大人。」賴梓威代表十二使徒開口：「扣掉梓柔，大家都到齊了。」544Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC8OPpq7Lyi
544Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZLilukTE50
聽到「扣掉梓柔」四字，賴霜原沒特別反應。現場除了賴梓柔的座位，賴霜原右邊的位子也是空的──那裡原本坐著雪檸，如今只擺一束花，已經空了一段時間。544Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzoyml3LuXB
544Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCFPub94826
「那麼，我們開始吧。」544Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwsvcRBbcbp
544Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbJxggrWCYP
說完，賴霜原閉上眼睛，雙手十指緊扣；所有人也閉上眼睛，額頭靠著十指緊扣的手，擺出禱告的姿勢。544Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFqqQTHBY5V
544Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0qPmElWMvv

544Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2KUGeSMdhS
544Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFM2lGPNXr0
賴霜原帶頭，其他人不論男女老少，一致開口：544Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWPMnGp7UzM
544Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0hCZMaGikj
544Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0SFlGPhaWN

544Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdykH5yJTSr
544Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQJo5efx5fN
禱告完畢，男女老少一致睜開眼睛、開始吃飯，餐廳充滿交談的歡笑聲，及刀叉碰撞的清脆聲響。544Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvENRifT217
544Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3sKvgesS8H
檸檬沒有禱告，她又被嚇到了。神與畜沒有聚餐文化，就算大家都在仙境大樓，大部分人都在自己房間吃飯。眼前的三百多人一起吃飯、一起禱告、聲音動作全部一致，場面看起來溫馨，卻有說不上的詭異。544Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrCQbhgw75z
544Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq0wzp3YV0J
「妳不吃嗎？」544Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHIdjWblDhs
544Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLeOd2OBNy9
賴冰河的話讓檸檬回神。她看了看小舅舅，再看了看桌上的銀製刀叉。檸檬沒表情，賴冰河還是發現她的不適應。544Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDpbbcg9Ejb
544Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ80VQFReM9Y
「妳……」賴冰河還是那張兇惡的臉，但他放慢語速，謹慎地挑選用詞：「身體不舒服？」544Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5BECEcaa6g
544Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHIWsH6W6YT
賴冰河在心裡痛罵自己，哪有人用這麼爛的問句開話題！544Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU0d1AfcZaf
544Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm1XdE6MHHs
「沒有。」檸檬只是搖頭，「不習慣。」544Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCOtcywSEl3
544Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS4amPvGTd6
不習慣？賴冰河回想，自己一開始，也不習慣在人們面前吃飯，於是他善用自己兇惡的長相，恐怖的眼神掃過那些對檸檬投以目光的人──效果非常顯著，那些人立刻收回視線、乖乖低頭吃飯。544Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUxo6z76N5t

「哪裡不習慣？」解決掉煩人的視線，賴冰河才問檸檬。544Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAMMFtQsrJ6
544Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA3Ca2mocA6
「團體行動，和宗教。」檸檬反問賴冰河：「只有我不禱告，會不會很奇怪？」544Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8rwHcWCTGi
544Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoMWml9CD9C
「妳沒有受洗，跟著禱告也沒意義。」544Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhzlyvtWejr
544Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgAZfx2KvgC
說完，賴冰河繼續吃他的東西。擺在檸檬面前的，是一盤金黃色、撒了白色糖霜的法式吐司，看起來蓬鬆可口，搭配新鮮的沙拉和歐姆蛋，是檸檬有記憶以來最豐盛的早餐。在仙境大樓，早上往往一塊麵包了事……神與畜才是對兒童極不友善的環境。544Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1b4UK2xFpB
544Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8sAVaRouQk
「那個，」吃到一半，檸檬想起賴冰河剛剛的話，「你說『大家的生活作息都綁在一起』，只有吃飯嗎？」544Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiHiUAfY5Sh
544Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWKnOq1Lr1t
「不是。」賴冰河解答：「同個時間起床、同個時間就寢，三餐一起吃，每周日參加彌撒。平日早上十點到下午五點工作，每人有各自的工作崗位，十三歲以下的小孩，在教堂附設的學校上課。」544Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxTLj3aWEIk
544Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMy53bnJOQr
「上課？」檸檬微愣，「我也要？」544Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiWcxu0gQoo
544Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcmy3tgvxog
「『學齡前教育』。」賴冰河也微愣，「神與畜沒有嗎？」544Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYinbTsOlbK
544Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTo3VEpe7xm
檸檬腦中閃過尼可拉斯的火車，「沒有。」及自己被火車撞來撞去的畫面，「我們……重視體能。」544Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSEMyWTBd0r
544Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUEZRhhTiXC
妹妹生前是Knight隊長，賴冰河能想像檸檬在神與畜的生活。在高宇維底下做事，殺人是基本中的基本，神與畜的教育一定不正常。檸檬比同年紀的孩童成熟，這不全然是好事。544Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrgaHAUyebw
544Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm9YOBkBIyv
「……。」544Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡraFsrcCB7h
544Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVG0nOQcInT
想起賴雪檸，賴冰河的表情就變得十分凝重。檸檬覺得奇怪，自己說錯了什麼？544Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5gK7WoLFLM
544Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT710WzTQFF
「你們在聊什麼，能讓我加入嗎？」544Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbT6ocAS1O7
544Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡToHWSiXcy3
突然一道溫和的聲音傳來，坐在一旁的賴霜原湊過來，慈祥的笑容問：「安琪，食物吃得習慣嗎？」544Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE7Bea85NZA
544Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrkvB5pEGYH
「謝謝，非常好吃。」檸檬表示：「但不夠甜。」544Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9HxC0zdrdu
544Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC7lIORzHJZ
「不夠甜？」賴霜原很驚訝，「不是有楓糖嗎？」544Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzxhaJBRNuv
544Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh9FLZkbDf5
「有，但不夠。」檸檬眼神堅定，「楓糖要兩罐，果汁也不夠甜，最好的甜度是喝不出果汁原本的味道。」544Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCjyXTU56Cw
544Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZxCSdf1LQX
看檸檬一本正經、用篤定的口氣說這種話，賴霜原哈哈大笑，賴冰河剛才凝重的表情也消失，忍不住嘮叨：「小孩子不能吃這麼多糖，對身體不好。」544Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCvnDKBeVTF
544Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLm3GaKoWPe
話一出，檸檬一臉失望，也是賴冰河第一次看到檸檬別的表情。544Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9i9soZOsD9
544Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIP4uTE6Da4
「真令人懷念，以前雪檸也是開口閉口都是肉，吃蔬菜好像要她的命。」544Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKbaU3qNfKh
544Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOTdYaAhBtD
賴霜原笑著說。跟賴冰河相比，賴霜原較不忌諱談論妹妹，也知道弟弟不喜歡聊賴雪檸的事，改問：「你們剛在說什麼？團體行動？」544Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrFlsqkDRfl
544Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKAfs0DshN7
「上課的事。」賴冰河順便問：「哥，她要從哪階段的課程開始？」544Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ95tEEWNad2
544Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI1Nq8AGydS
賴霜原想了想，拋出令人驚訝的答案：「都不需要。」544Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmHZuMkpsIv
544Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg9oHpiQczV
「啊？」544Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ2nkAWG9D7
544Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwPV6glCylO
「神與畜的重心是培養。為了早日獨當一面，神與畜給安琪的東西，一定比我們多出好幾倍。」賴霜原表示：「但宗教的課程是必須的。冰河，再麻煩你替她安排。」544Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ14iQ4WPZfk
544Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMsFXwzvRaE
賴霜原說的一派輕鬆，檸檬卻覺得奇怪，賴霜原對神與畜的了解似乎不淺，正當她在思考為什麼，腦中響起羅笙的聲音：544Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSGBqADeejl
544Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHNNs1lrYSQ
544Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqL4ZcS1oGC
「雪檸會和老家聯絡，高宇維允許她這麼做。」544Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRleSiYaVI9
544Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD20VMph0wN
544Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡALbdvqUvG8
羅笙用蜘蛛的頻道告訴檸檬：「薩拉凱爾和神與畜的關係很微妙。他們站到反高陣營，因為高宇維不承認現在的薩拉凱爾教。」544Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR7o1OvKqqZ
544Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjIimrCAmMF
「『現在的』？」聽到關鍵字，檸檬在頻道反問。544Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY18aBhg88n
544Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOemH10qrbk
「薩拉凱爾最初的教義，是第一代水果塔『睡鼠』──小約翰創立的。賴霜原接任教主後，幾乎改掉全部。高宇維只承認小約翰的教義，覺得現在的教義是垃圾。」羅笙說：「薩拉凱爾和高宇維互看不順眼，但因為賴雪檸，兩邊維持『表面上』的和平；如今賴雪檸死了，換妳代替她的角色。」544Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIOHuPfFNOh
544Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSG5G3KEffX
檸檬忍不住在心裡吐槽──羅笙說得事不關己，也不想想這一切是誰造成的。雖然沒見過媽媽、不曾因為媽媽的死難過，但如果雪檸還活著，事情會輕鬆許多。544Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpLGXeKIYuq
544Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq5AkAaqStd
「所以，」544Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7Gdvjx0aYH
544Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv27tOCbQli
和藹的聲音讓檸檬回到現實。賴霜原同時和兩人說：544Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHFtuWtiyxi
544Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoN4WgNR3MM
「這禮拜除了吃飯時間，安琪都可以自由活動、好好認識環境，只要不離開黑教堂就行。」544Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwNlLZMUKQa
544Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnnWFz9AEPi
賴霜原說這話，只有兩個可能：他是徹頭徹尾的白癡，或他非常有自信。堂堂教主不會是前者，賴霜原敢讓檸檬獨自在黑教堂閒晃，證明他不擔心神與畜找出不利自己的東西。544Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjU5doqnGG2
544Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxqSyOIXABy
「我知道了，謝謝大舅舅。」544Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1Vvl71yx7U
544Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSygxGwDHtI
檸檬禮貌道謝。只有兩天、只見過兩次，但她非常確信：這座教堂跟它的主人一樣，神聖、慈祥、和善、溫馨，及與這些光明共存的──不為人知的黑暗面。8964 copyright protection540ＰＥＮＡＮＡ33EuzJDgJL 維尼
