約定 - Chp 20

在接下來前進的道路上，我基本都靠著路牌在走。354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLX9wGFYYcs
354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEQyBqYa8OZ
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。354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXZnW8ZlzrX
354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTV5S9Bi6CK
而看到這反應，我也深深覺得這其中一定有什麼貓膩。354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW0Ba4rMZSd
354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJazB0twwMd
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。354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHHxnHBvviz
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。354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4NxDvLmu9z
354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf1PcQr4OPp
快到了快到了。354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOrSO1qb7mT
在內心不斷安慰自己，盡量不讓自己東張西望。354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMVPynr7t8B
354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFIeYm7AdcR
終於在走了一小段路穿過一片小樹林後，到達了目的地。354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgLI5qlZEW7
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。354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7NjTjPCqnl
354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa2r4tB8mm8
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。354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEVHJkauLYI
354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbUXACT0vez
‘叮咚。’354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfxbrt9YvJH
354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3PpF15jqsS
意外地能運作呢……也幸好還能用。354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡarGoZazNje
354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtWuVE64aK5
等了一段時間，裡頭都完全沒反應。354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2zpSDYrGCZ
354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrxHpacdoyV
是沒人在嗎？354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfTddiwJHb0
354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIHzWzI5y1w
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。354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcbIfkfoLCo
354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ0rD97KXqW
咔噠。吱呀…….。354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ49rGxwnBRw
354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9wt64Q9qe7
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。354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZQNVNrmKNf
354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT0EwM3fblo
沒人在那裡。354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrmPj6pYxCc
354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwcEvaJ0cDh
我不自覺地往後退，然後背後開始感到涼颼颼的。354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡggyODdf11B
354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBkl3CGa6uJ
再、再按一次門鈴好了。354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQLeprrUgFQ
354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFXlPJz9lPY
我大大吸了一口氣壯膽，再次按下了門鈴。354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkGF8VUfwyD
這次門鈴完全沒有任何反應。354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDjMaIOJws3
354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeaDZV4HdM7
不會吧……354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVuvKf6waYf
354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ3ORyF7hiz
我再按了幾下，還是沒反應。354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK8iSBzKYZM
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。354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBL3cAG9bOb
354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkMH5giE3dq
「哈嘍~有人在嗎——」354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE6ZCIYBLPH
354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7SKzweYrme
朝著被稍微打開的門往裡面喊，還是沒回應。354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEC1mXWHpWu
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……354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM5pig0D62N
354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4LzeBZp4La
「…誰？」354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUqRO6x6dG5
354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlAAsnE3LES
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。354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNh7tuUwaNR
354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXlA6OwCTRt
什麼啊，原來有人在啊，真是太好了。354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI3npB2UeMZ
354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIbCYODjunb
聽到人聲我整個放心了不少。354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj8flunwpju
354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp4uH7TYb8s
「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。」354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtw8FvVf9vL
354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7nbYYAtyoc
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。354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMKT0ryQeZq
354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmhVZVFfamo
「……我知道了，進來吧，門開著。」354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY8SShSw9kq
354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC6c1806cg5
「.…..那我打擾了。」354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDTOsHBa2mN
354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡElNYDhp9eK
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。354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2qTGnpH4Ab
把門關好之後我穿過庭院走到豪宅的門前，敲了敲門。354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAAx2RKBAyv
354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9KwuBN9Ueo
「我開門咯。」354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc6lSJLGBL7
354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnPXmUVmCV5
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。354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ63tReFXpA7
354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj3XlfcF3Fp
……錯覺吧。354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXQBZVknhja
354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6IfxuU5XxB
我決定不做多想地進入房子，但在開門之後玄關沒人在。354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAEQ9fEMKll
354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuGg1r8bwsa
「.…..請問？」354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡosA4BJulSp
屋子裡頭只有我的聲音在迴蕩，遲遲等不來回應。354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5nIATmjSVm
354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNIB0Xh6jtI
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。354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAXAPolFxHP
354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO60dwYk3hx
「到二樓右邊最裡面的房間吧。」354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXhtX5z3zv7
354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3pB996c9Dq
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。354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1Jo2HVMcgo
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……354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv36vsozN3p
354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmMS27tVHJg
？？？？？354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgI0OaJTYU7
354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmAuV9h6ngQ
我愣了一下，隨即把視線轉向地板，不再東張西望。354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbTC5ncMli5
354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvECyAAx5Ct
飛速地走到了二樓右邊深處的房間，我敲了敲房門。354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPfkngUKNNI
354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDj2hYilNyK
「請進。」354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2uXIop6kNp
354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8fDSb24pPh
在裡頭傳來了允許的回答後，我打開了房門。354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlQfB7ahDyO
354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5ymOHJOCUj
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。354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5ARTyoOY3q
354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQc9sXWuqAs
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。354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2B13bpb8hT
354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzfwI0iW6E1
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。354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSvnnDd3dm8
354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaGzSWib22X
……人叻？354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAPaxSTGpgP
354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDiqX8LiIqN
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。354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8IrHf0Atf9
354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYu3qmdWrLc
「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。」354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNSjc1yC934
354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHH6564du9M
「好、好的，這裡是您的包裹。」354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr7oLksv1tA
354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdEMwugYNNS
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。354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXCsz31T0Zw
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。354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7dYlYnKj87
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。354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSUNIjorgKc
354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgPi42wd720
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。354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCuJ6KkRVmF
354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0aqup1LB3s
「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。」354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4xWDY911iA
354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDTG11yryGi
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。354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0mIHePNdJR
嗯……所以我現在是直接離開就好嗎？354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrUTRa79hZU
354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3IlDqlydmD
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。354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdwEtUdtIAi
354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbFpexpH2O0
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。354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhXK6Xa2eC5
354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNDuMQ3Zo1o
「呼……」 354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaawzkeFmiy
354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdMhNtvgFBe
喘了口氣，我在緩緩身子之際，稍微往後一望離開的路。354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLB9uISufdw
354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyu2wXL9ot1
嗯？354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd5Zq6eo98y
354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOmHMBIy0fL
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。354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHZ8vI0plXq
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。354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5k7UeURIs3
354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXOVG9muPIz
算了算了，反正不會來第二次了。354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEPAEH0up1f
354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHC2GioaOHG
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。354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmMlQjBKAxi
354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGrjMkzNBSY
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。354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8wulh7mkE2
354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0BmnnoIgs9
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。354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJeV9cEvXc9
354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwUIu6Rcqzs
「剛剛任務結束嗎？」莉莉詢問道。354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcM3Fff5rKy
354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ91E75qAFvL
「嗯，現在正準備要回去。」354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG08gdqqiz8
354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq07jQyX5jI
「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~」354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCPnDw8RCzK
354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtXiw9vdxP5
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。354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVAcWMvbRnH
他們還真的是出雙入對啊……354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT4hTkiKnjy
354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjQun5PiHZt
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。354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0jiZyIRUpd
我離開了公會之後，就直接回了家。354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDf7Fj2Hdc5
354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd503nHzxtt
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。354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7NC7oLj0iX
354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkM60mwScHs
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。354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwPhCnHN5rr
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。354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMXxQRQ9cBZ
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。354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4RocNxvAoa
354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkn5Hs2lQSI
直到第二天莫璃才回復了信息。354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5Je7RQTBbt
354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPPQW3YyvjR
‘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。’354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9LTNFfu217
354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdcbhT973KA
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。354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWS4KURT2Bu
354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7MZ8aFw5g4
於是我就轉換了心情，之後也沒把這件事放在心上了。354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOgrmTDKYa4
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。354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzmNJbf6tTa
354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDqBzx6tBr3
然後再過了幾天，我突然收到了莉莉的組隊邀約。354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYen5sqbp1h
354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgwQfuth66m
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。354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPo3XODfryN
354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc4O4qV5lM5
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。354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcgOlB4PYHv
354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡarOlvmJeII
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。354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz7beG8R0Ey
354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ88XifQgSuA
嘛啊……看起來這次會相當熱鬧啊……354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV4DFy9r4kr
354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡauVCrVFHoS
我抱著忐忑不安的心，向他們走了過去。354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8UH6cn18F5
