約定 - Chp 20

在接下來前進的道路上，我基本都靠著路牌在走。473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnYxBGpFcoZ
473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnvjgBfHaPm
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。473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXSSIh7nkNs
473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmd3Rf7gwRj
而看到這反應，我也深深覺得這其中一定有什麼貓膩。473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSH9LwVao6C
473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb91SPSmG6r
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。473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8FRKJo7Hb4
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。473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0u8M3Lzrgf
473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb7vmJUQ1Zp
快到了快到了。473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVGNnFL0aMu
在內心不斷安慰自己，盡量不讓自己東張西望。473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC9tk3IhnY0
473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUFP8CWa4qr
終於在走了一小段路穿過一片小樹林後，到達了目的地。473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0jlXlRkKrJ
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。473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdCh6ycoJjD
473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3QIDMCX2hN
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。473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAf10BQoXqK
473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeFe48t0QlX
‘叮咚。’473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvZLEZajvO8
473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLkdmy9vcdN
意外地能運作呢……也幸好還能用。473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZcB68aY8RG
473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMk7yGkvaGd
等了一段時間，裡頭都完全沒反應。473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKotYwRSZFc
473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbmi8xO0SAO
是沒人在嗎？473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRyE8HXbkNx
473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMkooIIuemF
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。473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPAYnJ1Cbzm
473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw87zoMneof
咔噠。吱呀…….。473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNTWsFsxcnA
473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV1MSJ1QpdW
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。473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBqKYhUMHeD
473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHXLcK8C3Nl
沒人在那裡。473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHBtRxsAdNH
473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7jn0mfj2CA
我不自覺地往後退，然後背後開始感到涼颼颼的。473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtDa1ectDdn
473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSiebVBbJjK
再、再按一次門鈴好了。473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzo2QINjxuz
473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkaL28LrU3Q
我大大吸了一口氣壯膽，再次按下了門鈴。473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ715SoGEeoK
這次門鈴完全沒有任何反應。473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkVQdrdAZPq
473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡknCPBOvx9K
不會吧……473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMbBB3pithv
473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDMTO3LxywZ
我再按了幾下，還是沒反應。473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIH6kxvPrNe
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。473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqgELUCWV1K
473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmqx4435W7V
「哈嘍~有人在嗎——」473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFV7TIaHjkB
473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhpBrPHhuv8
朝著被稍微打開的門往裡面喊，還是沒回應。473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjq2lBg515E
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……473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuJVh89ruz6
473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjnISJyV82e
「…誰？」473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA6rvchfqmD
473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjvrOGebdPx
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。473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtVX7txZpIx
473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAk2DZ8SQ9J
什麼啊，原來有人在啊，真是太好了。473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ509MggAdKE
473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7znQtlhnSN
聽到人聲我整個放心了不少。473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWa0Fbp3pLJ
473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9dLgT3ypU8
「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。」473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNJcRlDRNq2
473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvyAPoJ6EGm
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。473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5z1SQVVMry
473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4Jy7V4P5s4
「……我知道了，進來吧，門開著。」473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBhmm6UwT5Y
473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2gwsmDWb5l
「.…..那我打擾了。」473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGQJgeIZzRx
473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq4ohxC5Brp
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。473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf8wi2MIV0J
把門關好之後我穿過庭院走到豪宅的門前，敲了敲門。473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJnFekfNLbj
473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr06WVujx1J
「我開門咯。」473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE7vh74w8Qs
473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3IComXtWhJ
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。473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBj0HlbtwNv
473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ10cghaCYC9
……錯覺吧。473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuvbeRharOj
473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJVkKx2NCJv
我決定不做多想地進入房子，但在開門之後玄關沒人在。473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5osUSoAZqb
473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR3B4KCUZZk
「.…..請問？」473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdVqOxH4q6P
屋子裡頭只有我的聲音在迴蕩，遲遲等不來回應。473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHYPmSISwnI
473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKlBI2mko2Z
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。473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOvVlMofGk0
473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMUtEUBQQXk
「到二樓右邊最裡面的房間吧。」473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWRtbauUvB0
473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxXomFcfEcL
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。473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNuQkyvcZhj
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……473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡekH3BecHco
473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMBiBQkz8nF
？？？？？473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCxdF1X1fHn
473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVbHLVMIcMD
我愣了一下，隨即把視線轉向地板，不再東張西望。473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAXWB2NpDbx
473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjavQkwJ1JJ
飛速地走到了二樓右邊深處的房間，我敲了敲房門。473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ54xmmnLJMB
473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwM9OrzevzA
「請進。」473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvIuRla22UL
473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn32EV7e4Vn
在裡頭傳來了允許的回答後，我打開了房門。473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGWK8bmTCnE
473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0juyUliuZT
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。473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt0hjik2yoQ
473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8lwvKc8G9D
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。473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdOgY8Jcirc
473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRsqzWIQLEb
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。473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKs1WsD41u7
473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp2MGI8o9fn
……人叻？473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPAjksHCZvj
473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1F3LcsFsRx
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。473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvrjo9zreBr
473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡALIrMwfd4H
「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。」473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoXnUVKrAu4
473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI0TtMJgWya
「好、好的，這裡是您的包裹。」473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfMc5bR3ywD
473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡirS9v6UABf
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。473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAvnZONGaOt
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。473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt64dNjSNnZ
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。473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVkQurtvsxw
473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzEPexHD1JE
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。473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQOAIZI73pv
473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDV3jPojNYC
「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。」473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTHJ0TkXfW2
473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡur7POMnb21
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。473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0TldgDynMS
嗯……所以我現在是直接離開就好嗎？473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7Ak79NBAqL
473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtJMZjPnt8C
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。473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJXHDRHvMQa
473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvwvIGh8Sv3
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。473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTR4832ASCn
473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsFViXSqf1h
「呼……」 473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjVwABn6qJc
473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWlhmrvOAoL
喘了口氣，我在緩緩身子之際，稍微往後一望離開的路。473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsWgy1kNcck
473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgZBXxndvf9
嗯？473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ41yFtRBQGS
473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKipTir5tOr
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。473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAsjP8vjiKh
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。473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMlVwoC8uwL
473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuoPbPLJaRL
算了算了，反正不會來第二次了。473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4hPAzYc343
473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwHnIqcsxbw
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。473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuQIoscGCUG
473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKUw4hE8Lxa
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。473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaQxclo4n85
473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUiJthnjjxh
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。473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM71cNDVT60
473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnUgiAWPP6w
「剛剛任務結束嗎？」莉莉詢問道。473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUHQcTYHw3K
473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEbRcBJNxL4
「嗯，現在正準備要回去。」473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDgDZmyMHm8
473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSS40WEGWVs
「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~」473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBqgepkkUPY
473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxlJEYCrbSd
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。473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO3nAbKexf9
他們還真的是出雙入對啊……473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIwusFeZFdX
473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyGcsYPoAal
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。473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOzJ4Ny6kUd
我離開了公會之後，就直接回了家。473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbnZEKilz7t
473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzDS7fLBVF3
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。473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡawBETHLrJF
473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmrJ2hBrXeM
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。473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzzIqNKs7Y1
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。473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ28SnRUTAGB
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。473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLf1qVBvBtd
473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpr7sHQrJJC
直到第二天莫璃才回復了信息。473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeGNVBx2TRN
473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJnObxpVeeH
‘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。’473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFffELjqoJd
473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa8Puje5ZpG
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。473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmKXPUIIeFS
473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUPVY6OSJ6N
於是我就轉換了心情，之後也沒把這件事放在心上了。473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD5zU60aIoS
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。473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc8neO9diyS
473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFDaQ2rYbBQ
然後再過了幾天，我突然收到了莉莉的組隊邀約。473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ58jUfPX99q
473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2pISPw7fbO
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。473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKoURjiy8vl
473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH4CfgBimkK
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。473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIHpimle28P
473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdFXoho6RXo
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。473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgdpjJN3Nt6
473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW8bA8AvvdT
嘛啊……看起來這次會相當熱鬧啊……473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU5hzm8bPe8
473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf4HRTKK8WB
我抱著忐忑不安的心，向他們走了過去。473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa5oGbSWNlV
