約定 - Chp 20

在接下來前進的道路上，我基本都靠著路牌在走。419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ723hDqsqFM
419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlBjsviXrMV
不懂為什麼每當我詢問向路人問路時，起初大家都很親切地湊過來表示可以幫忙甚至有不少人說可以直接送我過去，直到大家在看到那地址後就紛紛突然有事情不然就變外地人表示什麼都不知道，一下子就逃得遠遠的。419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFSPp32pEg3
419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJA2sgoTU3l
而看到這反應，我也深深覺得這其中一定有什麼貓膩。419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWOoT3gXUjn
419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8vW9SPCbzq
隨著離目的越來越近，周圍的建築物也越來越少，明明位於市區卻越來越荒涼。419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz1vA1tg1jI
走了一段路，我看著周圍的草叢和四處插著歪七扭八的木牌，我看著已經沾滿鏽跡的路牌確認位置後，加快了腳步。419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3sWhQbUv82
419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTVdjgPQq0k
快到了快到了。419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX0QpGcgBI8
在內心不斷安慰自己，盡量不讓自己東張西望。419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGhWJ6HBGys
419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8aYBhBiofd
終於在走了一小段路穿過一片小樹林後，到達了目的地。419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx7Uk13WvcX
出現在眼前的是一個看起來相當古老的西洋豪宅，老舊的房子上纏繞著蔓藤，屋前的小花園也已經年久失修，圍墻上也佈滿了苔蘚，看起來已經很久沒人居住的樣子。419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlRWJAC9cUh
419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCFxorx6uPJ
看著已經褪色的門牌確認地址無誤後，我費力地從生長在圍墻交錯的植物中找到了門鈴，按了下去。419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIgERpcmUHz
419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCtqLYZKBPO
‘叮咚。’419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW9BAiLYx48
419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAQZ7PgKk2p
意外地能運作呢……也幸好還能用。419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡevQ38xUjfU
419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFM728U8Vgd
等了一段時間，裡頭都完全沒反應。419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwa3dpEdc7x
419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUstddsEmYV
是沒人在嗎？419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCQYiYjiq7f
419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwPB1oJmUlI
再等了約莫五分鐘也完全沒反應，於是我舉起了手打算按多一次門鈴。419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZm5Jx7MSvs
419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0M0LcuM2nb
咔噠。吱呀…….。419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3Sz9ycwr7Z
419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡedwjH6Vgbe
一邊剛剛本來還關著的大鐵門突然自行打開，我被嚇得後退了兩步，然後從打開的隙縫裡望去。419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0hebZF9ntC
419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ535u4GAzz2
沒人在那裡。419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXXHDh6kb41
419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2kdN0Yfk3p
我不自覺地往後退，然後背後開始感到涼颼颼的。419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDY52JHZjQH
419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6VAWzslX5Y
再、再按一次門鈴好了。419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsii30tZBns
419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDRNfBFfs6v
我大大吸了一口氣壯膽，再次按下了門鈴。419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM43ErEc3qK
這次門鈴完全沒有任何反應。419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡISUBJdxuoJ
419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdYIYd4kocy
不會吧……419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj9EXMIdW3Z
419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWiNVGJ1ADw
我再按了幾下，還是沒反應。419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfY2PJWF1Dh
還是我把包裹放在門口……但這樣的話先不說我拿不拿得到簽收章，萬一它是什麼貴重物品就這樣放在門口不見的話…不對，就算不是貴重物品也是別人的東西，要慎重對待才行。419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtHmCFZWBCh
419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9w6hU4tqvn
「哈嘍~有人在嗎——」419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRf4C2GWUA1
419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgWaFTn72ps
朝著被稍微打開的門往裡面喊，還是沒回應。419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1XpWGaJQeU
還是我在門口蹲看看屋主什麼時候回來好了，隨便進人家的屋子不太……419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvE6rlaysbX
419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK2V6VXHXes
「…誰？」419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡngvq9wRGZO
419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqHTUT3V9Xw
突然有一把低沉的聲音從裡面飄出來，我再次被嚇到抖了下身子。419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6nkV7xa02b
419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4CRPZjU1Ld
什麼啊，原來有人在啊，真是太好了。419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrceFji7hXy
419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYqIBmEUeiY
聽到人聲我整個放心了不少。419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡenNi03zOtz
419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNy7ROwMb5x
「您好，我是接受公會委託替身體抱恙的郵差前來的工作人員。這是您的包裹，需要勞煩您蓋簽收章。」419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCVIK8NC3Uq
419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYafDGntYPj
另一端的聲音不知道是來自哪裡發出的，在附近完全沒看到類似對講機的設備，如果人是在屋子裡的話，對方聽起來又不像是用喊的。419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6AIthnZQKy
419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ81hkjmpD41
「……我知道了，進來吧，門開著。」419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqTSWqihjE6
419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLQNQNY7aaj
「.…..那我打擾了。」419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnUKa0euGhv
419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4SCEWGCfsm
我推開鏽跡斑斑的鐵門，踏進了一處有著白色涼亭的小型庭院，雖然本來應該是蠻漂亮的，但因為疏於打理整個庭院的植物都長得參差不齊，看起來有點亂。419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCbY3H7mXbt
把門關好之後我穿過庭院走到豪宅的門前，敲了敲門。419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4p9vNEW863
419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv93IWAD2Dd
「我開門咯。」419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq7Wxd0uU70
419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZAAWlDf29n
在說完之後，在我轉開門把的那一刻，我感到庭院裡似乎有什麼一閃而過，躲進某處花圃裡。419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ46cLLhQnwu
419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3hvgwBB1eB
……錯覺吧。419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAVWPPQr8Eb
419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBVnqqupDgQ
我決定不做多想地進入房子，但在開門之後玄關沒人在。419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzEPJfaBRGQ
419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxt5wTsQhYY
「.…..請問？」419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHlqGYba6Sh
屋子裡頭只有我的聲音在迴蕩，遲遲等不來回應。419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡosVzrnBIv0
419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhDLVu2ejAj
我鼓起勇氣踏進屋子，穿過走廊後走到了一個擺著各種藝術品的大廳。419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFLwZouWWAI
419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf6aXReFTSR
「到二樓右邊最裡面的房間吧。」419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyEfcjxGhfy
419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUGSObKmReu
剛剛在門口應答我的聲音從樓上傳來，我也走向了大廳右側的樓梯。419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkEiiK93xB3
墻上掛著幾幅油畫，有畫著風景的，也有畫著人的肖像的，看起來像是畫廊般，畫中的圖像都栩栩如生，仿佛隨時動起來都不奇怪，我甚至還能看到某個畫裡的肖像眨了眼……419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzKiLjo1y82
419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoX6S4ed3JC
？？？？？419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1ja6Xuu0q3
419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGMzfbzu8e6
我愣了一下，隨即把視線轉向地板，不再東張西望。419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV1cXh34to9
419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYsuWvJEEBG
飛速地走到了二樓右邊深處的房間，我敲了敲房門。419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh5hZ6lZ6mW
419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡswn1PoGJJx
「請進。」419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgaSKGzsyZ0
419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSZHmpxoNJJ
在裡頭傳來了允許的回答後，我打開了房門。419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ9yfDxLEVo
419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcAya7B6z4t
這房間看起來像個書房，裡頭放了很多藏書，甚至多到書架以外還堆積在地板上，造成環境看起來十分亂。419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl9U8HG6OPu
419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIdK4pz9SIM
不過倒是和外邊看起來多年沒使用的狀況不同，雖然很亂，但上方都沒什麼灰塵。419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRyAogBlK5q
419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡflS06TFvfA
而在有著對外窗口的那面墻邊則是放著一張辦公桌，上面也雜亂無章地放置各種書籍和文件，還有未蓋上的墨水瓶以及插在裡面的鵝毛筆。419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYaGwLqS4Cc
419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡav1XU33a8R
……人叻？419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAGKY8qGSVY
419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKAAdVZQRLn
我環視了四周之後，地面上突然湧起了像是泉水般的東西，我連忙退向門口盯著它慢慢從地面湧出之後逐漸化為人形。419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcJCRFrz8fl
419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbNUsGCjDtG
「感謝你專程把包裹送過來，因為現在主人不在，所以由我來做代理人。」419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe72VKeLsh6
419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡySTNdMd9UU
「好、好的，這裡是您的包裹。」419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ05g82lcMbT
419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHJQg77OoAf
看著它那用水形成的身子，我戰戰兢兢地把行李箱和簽收單遞了過去。419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxm4gmoSR5H
有點好奇它的構造原理，望向沒被淋濕的地毯，看起來應該不是一般的水。419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdCRAxPuaTZ
它拿過之後也沒打開來看就直接放在一邊的辦公桌上，然後伸出剛剛成型的手在簽收單上簽名。419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeQRvC2uP0k
419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEglXs6BmZM
原本透明的水跡慢慢化為墨水般，黑色漂亮的字跡浮現後，就遞了過來。419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZnxII917be
419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8f4okMxQd9
「那麼這裡是簽收單，那麼如果沒其他要事的話我先行告退了。」419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ651A6hpyMq
419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9gUIPI7RCb
我接過簽收單確認無誤後，它就慢慢地從人形潰散化成水蒸氣消失在我眼前。419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuR3FcStHW9
嗯……所以我現在是直接離開就好嗎？419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo1tONLc73r
419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTQQKVwf7HB
突然隔壁房傳來了東西掉落地板的聲音，我嚇得後退兩步之後，決定什麼都不要多想離開這裡。419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcURdvYvzb0
419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsgUv5qNFXg
快速地離開豪宅後，我往來時的路飛速走回去，直到看見稀稀落落的店家後，才放緩了腳步。419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLzjfyyNPNq
419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvxOxx70cWK
「呼……」 419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiudslnLwuR
419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcISYurIVpO
喘了口氣，我在緩緩身子之際，稍微往後一望離開的路。419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFT70m5y0Yl
419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡto6dNSHo22
嗯？419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ30FI6x69La
419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlKtET9yK2Z
我揉了揉雙眼，確認自己視力沒問題之後，我轉過了身打算不再想多餘的事了。419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZcuXLW3jTR
我後方的路已經和來時不同，變成一處小巷口，且巷口深處就沒路了。419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9p7z2YlPB5
419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ40H0s8hQxK
算了算了，反正不會來第二次了。419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE5kMjNEPrS
419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiZykVKSQOz
就這樣，我在回到公會之後，才算真正地放下了心，然後悠悠哉哉地前往櫃檯交付了任務，順道去圖書館拿東西。419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkZd9bxvolO
419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGSgzLbTXpR
打開了櫃子確認完之後，我把鑰匙歸還圖書館櫃檯，就打算直接回家。419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡILFN7S8XnQ
419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9Bs8dV1qMZ
走到一樓的大門，我正好跟挽著男友進來的莉莉撞個正著打了個招呼。419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡljd8Ma1gH1
419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9r1XsRx641
「剛剛任務結束嗎？」莉莉詢問道。419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrHsEjRB0M3
419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMDvdklnW5E
「嗯，現在正準備要回去。」419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgEAF5uzcy4
419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡudBqXm2JVE
「那還真是辛苦了，不過新的一個月開始了，大家估計又要開始努力達成最低限額了，我也現在要去看有沒有點數累積比較快的任務。那麼拜拜咯~」419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn2BfP96c8R
419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9f7wZKpxMo
莉莉和我道了別，她男友和我點點頭示意之後，就前往了佈告欄的位置。419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ8xYNmX97p
他們還真的是出雙入對啊……419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV1JnQA5lfT
419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ79viyWBFHm
除了之前的意外事故，基本上都形影不離，看到莉莉就會看到她男友在一起。419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeTUjltd4EN
我離開了公會之後，就直接回了家。419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLqthPA4bkE
419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvkFk5lztTQ
符咒之類的基本已經用得相當熟練，而且在學習了裡世界的語言後，開始知道一些道具的用途，比如之前榊原在商店街買的一大堆東西。419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNmIWivbEvB
419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU3xU42thL3
那堆東西也如我所猜地，有一半都是擺設用，幾乎想不到有什麼實用的用途。419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWD6U5G437c
啊、對了，把今天的事情和莫璃說一說好了，說不定他知道些什麼。419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ404O4vLDbG
在把今天的事情打好之後傳給莫璃，我就去洗了澡準備繼續學習個一小時後睡覺。419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2Sv1OwGgf2
419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKg2l2h5G2J
直到第二天莫璃才回復了信息。419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTm5LLX8MQx
419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEthAjSw5uT
‘照你所說的應該是有設什麼隱蔽結界之類的吧。而且你說的可以變成人形的水能夠在施術者不在的狀況下自主回答問題而不是機器性的制式回答，應該是相當高階的術法或魔法吧……不過我沒看過，所以也無法確定，只能和你說對方一定是個高手。嘛，反正以後未必會見到就是了，那人估計不隸屬於公會，如果公會有這種程度的人物的話我應該也會多多少少知道是誰，雖然我認識的人有些可以辦到你說的事情，但是都不住在那裡。’419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnIwCP02CHS
419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5SV53VRCtV
嗯……也對，反正以後也不會遇到，就當成一個特別的經歷就好了，也不需要太去在意。419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ4JZ68lqeC
419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm3swtyhrWv
於是我就轉換了心情，之後也沒把這件事放在心上了。419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqw1Gm9IDjJ
而且接下來我還要衝刺任務基本限額和學習，惦記這些事情也沒什麼用。419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtibXjodvlB
419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2espiDZmTP
然後再過了幾天，我突然收到了莉莉的組隊邀約。419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuL0HK7gcfu
419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxxjhvtWtk1
在我提出要先了解一下細節之後，就和她約了在大廳見面後進行討論，我再評估是否接受。419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLq4PqdiwXx
419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVXoqjl9Daa
依約到了大廳，我在看到熟悉的身影後，不意外地她男友也在，但另外兩位就比較沒預料到。419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡad2bKd5ggY
419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡthdldBoa1e
坐在那裡的除了莉莉情侶檔，還有之前和他們在同一個隊伍的舉著盾牌的人和穿著鎧甲的人。419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ8xjFavvpD
419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfq83HQJBSO
嘛啊……看起來這次會相當熱鬧啊……419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKyGLCmOJ7v
419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPK4RcVxc9i
我抱著忐忑不安的心，向他們走了過去。419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ89EUp7gkPH
