約定 - Chp 20

在接下來前進的道路上，我基本都靠著路牌在走。381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqjqAyB018Y
381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1267YHKEo8
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。381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUm5VoXNGqy
381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcK3v740CbZ
而看到這反應，我也深深覺得這其中一定有什麼貓膩。381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUhkw5Oj2EF
381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUOcOTTy8eV
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。381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡera6fvvv7Y
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。381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2PU84QxrAQ
381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzAJJnlPhDf
快到了快到了。381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCrXnrXPQdi
在內心不斷安慰自己，盡量不讓自己東張西望。381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXkv83TEtNG
381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3lCTKqZj2L
終於在走了一小段路穿過一片小樹林後，到達了目的地。381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe1koC5lnQb
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。381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1wbfvZN3Kq
381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVLqixZ1QPE
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。381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVNdn5TJ9Vm
381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWcjNaa8Y9M
‘叮咚。’381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVsd1pEk2kA
381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgCrl2VV0O2
意外地能運作呢……也幸好還能用。381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUzkCXm9vR1
381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2jFk6wpigf
等了一段時間，裡頭都完全沒反應。381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH2R4Pr55Ta
381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7eLzmLJKL6
是沒人在嗎？381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7D8VLxu1pa
381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVKYLSptt6E
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。381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUtCZ5Z1eMh
381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeaJgj6nV1H
咔噠。吱呀…….。381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGYLbLvfR4m
381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyfaXsEN1nt
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。381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAeZ7OQ18N1
381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWTdiNdQ8ik
沒人在那裡。381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXVuq1Ggs3C
381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTeK1zNhq9a
我不自覺地往後退，然後背後開始感到涼颼颼的。381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcrbxEnsS7p
381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBKAX8Rf4mH
再、再按一次門鈴好了。381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTiDbiG8lBH
381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡATRDaz0E0V
我大大吸了一口氣壯膽，再次按下了門鈴。381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwgIJco5JMP
這次門鈴完全沒有任何反應。381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw65vts1OYT
381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTrI19FlVeQ
不會吧……381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡes3WjUeneI
381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡABIsooqwwQ
我再按了幾下，還是沒反應。381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡggSkJ4UvUQ
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。381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡypo2JocTVj
381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIG0fsjCYrW
「哈嘍~有人在嗎——」381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCboaRXH5Er
381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvPqcbtEdZW
朝著被稍微打開的門往裡面喊，還是沒回應。381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbx1b4zqhWL
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……381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7umksHPh4b
381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwah7tujft7
「…誰？」381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp9cvQzbpd5
381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhSqYK8pDwB
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。381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqDXJsaLU4x
381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6ZlghVqpVC
什麼啊，原來有人在啊，真是太好了。381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZE5roKRwgN
381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8UGDO1anKB
聽到人聲我整個放心了不少。381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRiAv0Z66fZ
381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvHipw6OK44
「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。」381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNVgCpEoy6J
381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1I68794yUq
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。381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaVi6kkTYi2
381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJkNJpEjONV
「……我知道了，進來吧，門開著。」381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ62Pj7YElOz
381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwfPZ83bP0t
「.…..那我打擾了。」381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUMO0yT8WQu
381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn35U5Xa2tG
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。381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp66a4HgHld
把門關好之後我穿過庭院走到豪宅的門前，敲了敲門。381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOgFeqW5tdh
381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsfcC6ktAFt
「我開門咯。」381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS1USY3HBkZ
381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPYgrqo9mXV
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。381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHVhKctzy0U
381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAj2queFgsw
……錯覺吧。381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdGvjHRW4h5
381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡND1TYfy3AH
我決定不做多想地進入房子，但在開門之後玄關沒人在。381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdezg5Spdqe
381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo4RZD8TfuI
「.…..請問？」381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfx3p86IQFc
屋子裡頭只有我的聲音在迴蕩，遲遲等不來回應。381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3Zi8GEGYHy
381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwnBcP0rcmd
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。381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoSmMafG0ik
381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9MMK6qIqpX
「到二樓右邊最裡面的房間吧。」381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw2xP6xpZsX
381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7ZsSAx0ThU
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。381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7FROWNSf7A
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……381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZxVa9MBmkX
381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBZwwoSyx1p
？？？？？381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXeKtrZ4QQX
381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNctYadGXcp
我愣了一下，隨即把視線轉向地板，不再東張西望。381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡICx3oP9L0p
381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxKdxwIzRj1
飛速地走到了二樓右邊深處的房間，我敲了敲房門。381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOZpUCOmyd9
381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEp7Pw71noj
「請進。」381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡusKPjKHg7d
381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcgQwHbbYFI
在裡頭傳來了允許的回答後，我打開了房門。381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhuRFFa34XJ
381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjZ3i7cXQmL
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。381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUJsuOWQu3P
381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG0qOp2vbdV
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。381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡge93t01buD
381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa5w5TrHCkC
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。381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5ge5mHlytJ
381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZnNV5oJhlW
……人叻？381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5h5tqQB9Y6
381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMxHFh896jD
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。381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzrc7H9sXtg
381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjmciZ9JAGK
「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。」381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMFsmyqk73a
381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTQYdhCKEim
「好、好的，這裡是您的包裹。」381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtLOx77J228
381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEOQqXkeiny
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。381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrEFkqN4QEj
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。381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyb8PiSImwO
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。381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvok6AjGg2g
381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC1sMG0cmJa
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。381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡawHsLkJLUp
381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfTVAkdq8AA
「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。」381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEAoGU9aZbF
381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8dbeGlO1pv
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。381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlUIigkJw27
嗯……所以我現在是直接離開就好嗎？381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmsf2NGTKnn
381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCLWuHA5WFc
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。381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkKen14E0Xb
381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt4sUhrzATU
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。381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzs2T6s7Bxj
381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9G3Mowfacc
「呼……」 381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFd1Gl8hJoN
381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmewHWUE2zJ
喘了口氣，我在緩緩身子之際，稍微往後一望離開的路。381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNfZDevz62z
381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6QvkQ5Q2FX
嗯？381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyatVwQxZGL
381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQh5ss4qkWg
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。381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡylPZXTbX40
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。381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNm1WvyGfBT
381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFhNkwKLZtG
算了算了，反正不會來第二次了。381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡur0JUrRR1l
381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzUl7238ZlM
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。381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGlAZyJkHjL
381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8F7v9WdNzc
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。381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVkBNCxiitL
381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlgmxUYQvcQ
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。381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3UnuK2sM79
381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR2OHRYuS8p
「剛剛任務結束嗎？」莉莉詢問道。381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLo480Xzj3I
381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrVb215Tr37
「嗯，現在正準備要回去。」381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyQ0gZptLmq
381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyKop0S6CQO
「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~」381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHtTpNJIYaD
381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1MRlA1301p
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。381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7qe3Httkdo
他們還真的是出雙入對啊……381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ09dHo4oble
381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf9Cu3CydRW
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。381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoNAebdyzmY
我離開了公會之後，就直接回了家。381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnjntV28vhE
381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡluZywvUkKg
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。381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡITR0VeeI8c
381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMPMb8aM4zb
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。381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3XiwszNjBO
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。381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1id212tfJV
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。381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJRj8t5PJmM
381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6wS5cKXEcX
直到第二天莫璃才回復了信息。381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT4dd9DP3Cn
381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGfu3vPFQYW
‘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。’381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlbyDiSd90T
381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeLwG14RM9O
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。381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRRFaoFtaXn
381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwfl4wdzc9l
於是我就轉換了心情，之後也沒把這件事放在心上了。381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpYhIdaSKCh
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。381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgRNziu4Qtl
381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKnHtdVhTbe
然後再過了幾天，我突然收到了莉莉的組隊邀約。381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKoFvNcvpcv
381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKSBvnFN4Il
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。381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3idwkygq5w
381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlytsf9d6Fr
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。381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡegbZe4fIzm
381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9jnSEsMEHK
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。381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsnYtufoSl7
381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsYsJgSQpz5
嘛啊……看起來這次會相當熱鬧啊……381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ71cQ92AGZv
381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkw2PqMoU7g
我抱著忐忑不安的心，向他們走了過去。381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVOHeCndmSC
