比歐雷塔大陸長年充斥著濃厚瘴氣，無論野獸或植物皆含有劇毒，倘若沒有淨化清除毒素便無法食用──這點可說是比歐雷塔大陸住民的基本常識。364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZIPdOwvthy
而比歐雷塔也存在著許多被稱為「神域」的絕對安全之地。364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2z2A0Ea91M
魔獸不會踏入該範圍附近，在那還有著非常清澈的水源，甚至可以淨化任何劇毒，飲用後也能回復體力與解除所有負面狀態。364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnxJG3QL743
遺憾的是，神域位於何處僅能憑藉雙腳移動尋找，不同部落族群之間也經常為了爭奪神域產生激烈衝突。364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXqVFatZrbS
因此在比歐雷塔，除了死於饑餓或食物中毒外，喪命於魔獸嘴下和被他族所殺也不在少數。364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeV5WIKmy0x
比歐雷塔人只為了活下去而活。364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0r1iiOInMj

七草‧麥笛現在總算理解了某些事。364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRAOxG82DT7
自她出生後從未離開過的、屬於麥笛一族的神域在前些日子被他族以武力奪取後，約莫五十多人被迫過著尋找神域的飄泊日子。364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY1seMs1Mfa
麥笛一族只有水屬性持有者，縱使不怕缺水但光靠飲水沒有進食實在難以在如此險惡的環境中存活。364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzHVr8Yerm2
即便向偶遇的族群乞求食糧可大家的難處是一樣的，眼看他們就要因為糧荒導致滅族。364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4YIXvWDcZ4
也正是這時候開始，年幼的七草察覺到一件不可思議的事。364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvo9JR9sWZd
每當鬧糧荒之際，族長總是可以弄到不少無毒的新鮮肉品。364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTh6hvyhNB4
儘管每個人分到的份量十分稀少，至少可以勉強渡過難關。364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdWAG3WJaBN
同時七草也發現到了族人逐漸在減少，尤其是年紀不到13歲的孩童。364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoPUeFPXYGh
364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqJKe1Rdezy
﹝啊啊……原來是這樣啊……﹞364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡedcNPiO0Tv
364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdOo1OmUvxr
「七草才10歲啊…！」364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvdRcwZfm9S
「這次輪到咱家了也沒辦法啦，孩子以後再生就有了。要不妳來當『悼肉』？」364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLSdlMcHgJO
「你……！」364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJwoYsoB4M7
「別煩啦！妳不也知情還吃了不少？再拖拖拉拉，族長就要拿咱倆動刀了！」364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd31xaUveku
「……」364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtCyPvogO5r
364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsSTUnaIIyX
「悼肉」，是對族人犧牲性命戰鬥獲取來的獸肉的稱呼，食用悼肉前族長會帶領全族人一起向犧牲者感謝並哀悼。364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOHPunDDn8O
而這個習慣是在被奪走神域之後才開始的。364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXHKWPsyrCz
哪怕弱小的麥笛一族根本沒有與兇猛野獸戰鬥的能力，卻也沒有人想去瞭解這些肉從何而來。364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWjkdHqINXx
除了包括族長在內的幾個知情者，大多以為是如同往常般以魔法製造的乾淨水和偶遇的異族交換得到的食糧。364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWWqV8C9NIh
眼前雙親的爭執令七草徹底明白了，族裡正在發生什麼事。364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWrq51LKr5t
364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU8OzOQ4xUE
「對不起啊，七草。放心吧，給妳喝的毒藥會麻痺神經，不論我如何切割妳也不會感到一絲疼痛的。」364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtttTDA9Nw7
364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyqmFslnuMe
七草的父親非常慈祥地說著嚇人的話語，並從皮革袋中抽出已磨得鋒利的匕首。364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOspUrsUkIs
七草的母親則是不忍心看，含淚將視線移轉他方。364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSUeLCJUoC8
七草仍是動彈不得，體內每條神經全斷了聯繫般起不了任何作用，僅剩意識依舊清晰。364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOzYVt9yiCv
364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdTa41Fzys4
「──真是聽不下去了吶。」364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc8kWC9UXDC
「誰！」364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu9xsQkhksE
364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlFMEtfKXrR
男人順著聲音方向望去，只見一臉冷漠的小女孩坐在樹上。364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfSUY5Ledxm
364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTRX7uIKeGo
「妳哪來的？少來插手我族的規矩！」364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWEYi3MmegC
364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA4yM33sLcl
小女孩沒有回答，身手俐落的自樹上躍下，漂亮落在男人面前。364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYDs5bip3G0
她的周遭颳起強風，腦後小小的辮子也隨風搖曳，表情很是惱火。364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlgUhB27Odx
364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyvv2AqpkXk
「既然你們不要她了，那她從今天起就由俺接收。」364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqSTN78ti34
「咳啊…！」364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGc0wq2BOnJ
364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0dH5PP4aYK
男人的臉遭到風壓重擊，往後翻滾了好幾圈後失去意識。364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO6xwY3mVPn
待一旁的女人回過神，她的女兒和陌生的辮子女孩早已失去蹤影。364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡay9bMj3ZVQ

「……俺讓妳去獵頭魔獸當晚餐，妳倒是帶了個妻子回來見父母吶。」
百狩的雙親之一，卡薩多爾族的族長‧億刀有些哭笑不得。364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYPflAvTbgt
億刀有著卡薩多爾族特有的淺金亞麻色長髮，臉上有道曾將數十支部落滅族的凶暴魔獸留下的可怕爪痕，但那反為她的颯爽英氣增添不少分數，風屬性持有者的她其戰力之強與慓悍外貌在比歐雷塔上千支族群中是出了名的。364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuVN3Nb1IJL
綜上所述，其妻子與女兒的數量之多也是比歐雷塔大陸住民望塵莫及的一點。364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVACRreJOzw
百狩則是億刀最小的女兒，也是唯一繼承了她的風屬性能力，宛如同一個模子刻出來的孩子。
「不過百狩未到獨立之年，現在娶妻會不會太早了？再說這孩子的性子還需要再磨練磨練，倒是她的姊姊們有人仍未嫁娶，不如詢問一下她們的想法？」364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCx3BvqVmtO
364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdwnsqz6fhO
百狩的母親布麗薩看著百狩扛在肩上的七草，顯得苦惱。364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSGUCXbxNEr
她認為莽撞的百狩尚未成熟到可以組建家庭。364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaBmfWuGG4S
364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaYimCvjv1h
「妳們想太多了啦！雖然這傢伙確實差點就成了族人的晚餐。」364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ65kNsa5bM1
364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡynl2qs7TCz
百狩沒好氣的將七草緩緩置放在地，億刀和布麗薩這才發覺七草的狀況不對勁，立刻讓族裡的藥師過來診斷。364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0BVkufxzMQ
364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDkze8UQraq
「……把詳細說給俺聽聽？」364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHNWPwApjSy
364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHUZMfPrn0N
對寵愛小孩的卡薩多爾族而言，百狩帶來的消息可不是什麼聽過就能算的事。364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxd5r74ZHHx
日後，比歐雷塔大陸再也沒人知曉麥笛一族的去向。364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMUlwWXbv6R
至於七草，麻痺狀態在藥師給她喝下神域的水後便解除了。364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvX9xL8ktwz
然而接下來的日子裡卻再也無法接受任何人遞來的水或食物。364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk76hdcUec5
就算帶七草到神域的水池讓她自行飲用水她也辦不到。364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHZDKsDeHad
把水或食物送進口的動作都會令七草心生恐懼而立刻吐出來，更別說吞下肚了。364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDn4cisyoPY
就這樣又過了幾天，七草變得虛弱。364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8hvaIAzq60
364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbPx0RL2Gmj
「這樣下去可不行吶。」364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnKPqsN0PWj
「要不讓百狩去試試？年紀相近的孩子比較有親近感，由她去勸說也許可行。」364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJkDjF7ZpYP
「百狩嗎……」364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF2t6vlBRhM
364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiiibKLGR5w
億刀苦笑了一下，可以想像百狩不情願的臉。364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzfkr8pyMhF
實在無技可施，億刀便採納了布麗薩的建議，以「妳帶回來的就該負起責任照顧」命令百狩必須讓七草吃下東西。364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡggDJBwNGXq
覺得麻煩的百狩也無法違抗族長之意，正因為是族長的孩子所以更加不能做出會毀壞族長威信的事，乖乖攜帶神域取來的水和乾糧來到七草的臥榻前。364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4kddcHW7PC
今日七草也是背倚木牆，將身體縮成一團，原本就骨瘦如柴的身子顯得更嬌小了。364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUuLBSHxyXd
她那天生的灰色長髮搭上面無血色的慘白臉孔，遠看或許會誤以為是一具乾屍。364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD5vcVa7gY0
364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi8Jj1jopSX
「喂，多少喝點神域的水回復體力吧？俺明白發生在妳身上的事，可俺們要真想殺妳哪用搞什麼毒藥。」364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh7XB3fQzlS
「這我明白……」364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJZdH1Wf2Ly
364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoijVgYuREQ
是的，七草相當明白卡薩多爾族是真心為自己好。364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCzSYHL55hl
可能否入口又是另一回事。364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYhZwcaRhvU
364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR4GpmwtiVj
「那就快喝。」364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUVViMteMhS
364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFbJXkGgqAv
毫無耐心的百狩掐住七草臉頰，粗魯的將水壺塞進七草口中意圖強制讓她飲下。364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9PDWefZxTv
想當然受到驚嚇的七草奮力推開對方，由於被水嗆到而不停咳嗽。364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡboOSrP4OT4
好不容易止咳，臉色也因為攝入了幾滴神域的水而恢復些許紅潤，下一刻七草感覺有什麼環住了腰。364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVXXk2U5ZmJ
364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH0bUPUazPl
「……嗯？」364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrnHDAMk41F
364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEpINOamVWd
緊接著她的雙手被緊箍在牆上，嘴唇也被柔軟的東西覆蓋住。364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4VsxbnwGgl
確認七草將水全數飲下，百狩這才鬆開對七草的牽制。
「下次再不肯進食，俺就用這種方法餵妳。」364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlkVz5wgCwF
364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOu373tsZ9y
364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBZWijST8G6
經過這次事件，七草總算有辦法將食糧嚥入口，讓大家安心不少。364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCMKmpYbi3F
即使七草僅能接受來自百狩遞送的水和她親自獲取的食物，但總比活活餓死好多了。364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT98aju0LbL
而百狩臉上清晰的巴掌印也令族人笑了足足2天之久才消散。364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtafzrRbEB8
