約定 - Chp 20

在接下來前進的道路上，我基本都靠著路牌在走。426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡipiYjx2lxe
426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrtV1TYqFEc
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。426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmrhWpVbdA9
426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjOIW9Ml74U
而看到這反應，我也深深覺得這其中一定有什麼貓膩。426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXbt47wZ9dR
426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1bLyAC2LKB
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。426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9TUoyGTJ5E
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。426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLPiMDzTmuj
426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrj2DEXNsuO
快到了快到了。426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAOXOEg90bP
在內心不斷安慰自己，盡量不讓自己東張西望。426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA7Yt2T6082
426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTTWaqnFynM
終於在走了一小段路穿過一片小樹林後，到達了目的地。426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpgDbtb4TiZ
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。426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJhwXMZFYGC
426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHTulCQf3h6
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。426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNG1GbUL5z5
426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGY9ylEh78v
‘叮咚。’426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsilMW9lLCU
426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmoAULtgT8z
意外地能運作呢……也幸好還能用。426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYzB4iHeHUh
426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRtZPoLUdiF
等了一段時間，裡頭都完全沒反應。426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi2m3RpRCr3
426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbZOqC6Vwej
是沒人在嗎？426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeI9sP7LtgB
426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ09xFhrSRYa
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。426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHLd8Iiobbz
426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDK73SED57P
咔噠。吱呀…….。426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkfzoNCCeB1
426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDy3uj4dVbQ
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。426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLhYPRv3twy
426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpPoL9274XG
沒人在那裡。426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl3yugiaboO
426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyBnVDXpVih
我不自覺地往後退，然後背後開始感到涼颼颼的。426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡycqYfL0IbV
426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuTF3kW2toV
再、再按一次門鈴好了。426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ44Fd63N0bh
426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqzZsfARva0
我大大吸了一口氣壯膽，再次按下了門鈴。426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVRebCB3kLS
這次門鈴完全沒有任何反應。426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLrwuc637Vb
426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡns6RHP9WoO
不會吧……426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlhWCvLIRhB
426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPZuHnj9lwX
我再按了幾下，還是沒反應。426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfShO8FmiBK
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。426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ305qvd9ZAC
426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdMEgAYVL0B
「哈嘍~有人在嗎——」426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4uau16RoAk
426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtW7LSEAZuY
朝著被稍微打開的門往裡面喊，還是沒回應。426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0wVTJUc9ka
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……426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTSljqiQHVs
426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoaWheeRriY
「…誰？」426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpp7ynogIGy
426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXXeM5HdNvs
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。426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnE7n5QwR18
426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZhx62uOi7x
什麼啊，原來有人在啊，真是太好了。426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq8yY3nd1GQ
426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡROLNPCN9TC
聽到人聲我整個放心了不少。426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjTx3YfVxsH
426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHx0mjosnXP
「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。」426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyZt90uWeLm
426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9ZcXMq3EAI
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。426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ37kvrSTdE6
426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMrIhBTnmgS
「……我知道了，進來吧，門開著。」426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpOXIAsaXKu
426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBTZ0SjKuYj
「.…..那我打擾了。」426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPnO54wr4vK
426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡArVMFUUIKo
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。426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEbprCBZsMD
把門關好之後我穿過庭院走到豪宅的門前，敲了敲門。426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMxEhxaXs4G
426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL70dvl7mPi
「我開門咯。」426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhYdto75PhB
426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVU4ALW0uqf
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。426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbd71gsbd9e
426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB99FdKPWE5
……錯覺吧。426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFtYKw12N0E
426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqVMZNV9k0F
我決定不做多想地進入房子，但在開門之後玄關沒人在。426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpi47hMU97a
426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8G0NcZRUlx
「.…..請問？」426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmHi30UdJbv
屋子裡頭只有我的聲音在迴蕩，遲遲等不來回應。426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ99oX8sZj3b
426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk5NDt8hoGg
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。426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ480r7Welcz
426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsk93ASTkdo
「到二樓右邊最裡面的房間吧。」426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBKVMUufJAs
426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7LJfgLERE6
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。426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjYwK9qUFZF
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……426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡduLaDvv11y
426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg4Bm7wGB8y
？？？？？426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnTTQ4IpI2u
426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuyk2Pop5Zj
我愣了一下，隨即把視線轉向地板，不再東張西望。426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv45nQiMuKl
426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSUvQQjwKdL
飛速地走到了二樓右邊深處的房間，我敲了敲房門。426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlW8MVT0c8V
426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdWLkqyieja
「請進。」426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZOJ20Z86L0
426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo7KK8ZvD3t
在裡頭傳來了允許的回答後，我打開了房門。426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ06dDBJafcm
426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI03pBa6JHo
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。426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWCeI8UoZrA
426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnyau4z5uhO
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。426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQwamm86uW4
426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtfY3iPC64v
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。426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8HLP2caDlw
426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtVByQWFeyS
……人叻？426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0k9FVYADkW
426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡufo1eqpwdZ
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。426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlVMh9XXNab
426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzOWLQzR71x
「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。」426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHPfDvxKxLI
426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGBi86daHlg
「好、好的，這裡是您的包裹。」426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh2DlyUyiFD
426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXIUT5o79Or
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。426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoF9jJTzFot
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。426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhQYGlnr4oU
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。426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFNC0cGAzKp
426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkIOSkQTeUJ
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。426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZsxJQaxIXb
426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ39K7DfEV6e
「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。」426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzDcRmYasXf
426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4GJLR6ZETF
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。426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT71Lcf7qUw
嗯……所以我現在是直接離開就好嗎？426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ43CAOtmBDy
426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcC4Ohc5HDt
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。426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7BIucMJ2PA
426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4J9oqEc8Rb
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。426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzuI7kGGbvT
426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcqAn5ibg7E
「呼……」 426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFjSxPgZCPd
426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCPtnWC2D0C
喘了口氣，我在緩緩身子之際，稍微往後一望離開的路。426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJceDDNzFxw
426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNnBfR4FdEM
嗯？426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGjE567kCFa
426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGrdkphFGNi
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。426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWXbYzMemjn
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。426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkOq17tOW8i
426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡna6cVgT1zb
算了算了，反正不會來第二次了。426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhVplJ9QsWn
426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlr3cMJfMyP
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。426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡauoHnwwsZT
426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEuLKazXw5W
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。426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG37HDJiztm
426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrSzwgWUepx
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。426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwCoEUwpldX
426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYV5zkSLRCk
「剛剛任務結束嗎？」莉莉詢問道。426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXV8ChkabGV
426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5c83vxQHHe
「嗯，現在正準備要回去。」426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfTVnj6TRSz
426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJoRBHPercX
「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~」426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQNhPW1lxMz
426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡidCtbs5t3p
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。426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ72sQyIdIdM
他們還真的是出雙入對啊……426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5I3MyZ9H4l
426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM65jFcfHTW
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。426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaE7zDrYprH
我離開了公會之後，就直接回了家。426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ0YsPwG2tO
426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9zaBpnHtVL
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。426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpItTXBcvis
426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOEvXItziGC
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。426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuVbUxzt06p
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。426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ90XUy10Ii1
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。426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMwmyG8sMyH
426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnimnDu9mvm
直到第二天莫璃才回復了信息。426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu0ZG7pWbjV
426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlHPLLfBqpj
‘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。’426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEeaLA9MuhE
426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBk3uqqp5Y7
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。426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe0QqyXKGjM
426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb3kkG2YRI9
於是我就轉換了心情，之後也沒把這件事放在心上了。426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoNObohalKY
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。426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZlUJuu7mbz
426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgZltffXBhJ
然後再過了幾天，我突然收到了莉莉的組隊邀約。426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEqilLcEyO7
426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrxy1tD56Gi
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。426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJKGNdqFq21
426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjeJlHTUUYB
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。426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWioTGrIWf7
426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡop1QmYWZBs
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。426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUw723eHZmf
426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYy68uLaTkV
嘛啊……看起來這次會相當熱鬧啊……426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTM6tYlfWIN
426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTEfgipzhAR
我抱著忐忑不安的心，向他們走了過去。426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgrJed5PQvT
