約定 - Chp 20

在接下來前進的道路上，我基本都靠著路牌在走。380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuhA482uoyE
380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUQoPBOkqKZ
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。380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8WrggTWcWL
380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhJvOooASoK
而看到這反應，我也深深覺得這其中一定有什麼貓膩。380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjUsuknzEfJ
380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBqYNp8gmEC
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。380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwK5TdFdnD9
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。380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeJs5p2ByeC
380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5x8hZOl9Yv
快到了快到了。380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA8EsuADbcY
在內心不斷安慰自己，盡量不讓自己東張西望。380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHRZzkAYAW9
380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtnQHnPPh19
終於在走了一小段路穿過一片小樹林後，到達了目的地。380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd3BLBDRdd2
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。380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKDxhK4CBAi
380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSZw8PcLZBV
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。380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZnsXmQJ3DZ
380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGeIihI8n1I
‘叮咚。’380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkR2XlEZ1OU
380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdnsX6OCP8c
意外地能運作呢……也幸好還能用。380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOpF2y6NcFE
380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡliTV1o1IBH
等了一段時間，裡頭都完全沒反應。380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF18olXHkau
380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxmtKM54LR7
是沒人在嗎？380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPItwPcJfUm
380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9c1CTjV9nm
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。380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3clZ86kqfg
380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAATLMwIQmC
咔噠。吱呀…….。380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmWxpjp8d5h
380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ21fT3YeBKx
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。380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT05OEVYeHL
380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVW7bWfLJVz
沒人在那裡。380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGPPK5jVHLu
380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmDL0ztuVkA
我不自覺地往後退，然後背後開始感到涼颼颼的。380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl4hAXHmMOB
380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5sC2A4gCoO
再、再按一次門鈴好了。380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRyrXbnOA5D
380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡULAuyTcx2s
我大大吸了一口氣壯膽，再次按下了門鈴。380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOlkuWEj3cY
這次門鈴完全沒有任何反應。380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡchlG5iMJhB
380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaaifOjatDM
不會吧……380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqo6JCIc73u
380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2txyij8656
我再按了幾下，還是沒反應。380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcYEUCu7ZMg
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。380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5piAKnojXO
380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjegfJmTBfG
「哈嘍~有人在嗎——」380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡECOTe7lAcE
380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxWFLrUogjf
朝著被稍微打開的門往裡面喊，還是沒回應。380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ743UDpHRLK
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……380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm3d9AbP634
380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9Eo7RnRPWg
「…誰？」380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqW3EnoBoU3
380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhDk18VBevY
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。380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuRUDqshIy9
380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIbpNxQLHbG
什麼啊，原來有人在啊，真是太好了。380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUhFArfAKSB
380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoJXLkrIi0M
聽到人聲我整個放心了不少。380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE5M4pDpG3z
380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaEmaaxCNYO
「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。」380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡasRp2THnwc
380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy3yHRZc6Ee
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。380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6PAtzx59Qw
380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqfNFKBJhGn
「……我知道了，進來吧，門開著。」380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe4frHpeYya
380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwq9z2vEc5I
「.…..那我打擾了。」380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMuNK76MfGe
380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ60Qgf8Nl4g
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。380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ95514k3yj7
把門關好之後我穿過庭院走到豪宅的門前，敲了敲門。380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuHNy2GH7nI
380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQyU9wmhJ0c
「我開門咯。」380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMBKAzWBo9c
380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoT4h0o4y7m
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。380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6hMnPSafBC
380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGHY2Iw7zC3
……錯覺吧。380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGx6fBc3ddv
380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ98JBbGUwTu
我決定不做多想地進入房子，但在開門之後玄關沒人在。380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmXHpVewkGI
380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcs5YrSU4c3
「.…..請問？」380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtUpRrMnWWs
屋子裡頭只有我的聲音在迴蕩，遲遲等不來回應。380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwLdhlvyKAI
380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpz1LI9MQE7
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。380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq96vtrrf7K
380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDDeTWKCZTq
「到二樓右邊最裡面的房間吧。」380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTxA9bBvgAf
380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfuEaFU5rW0
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。380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyrKdVYSSjU
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……380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrDGISi2zZ7
380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjA5oHptd1i
？？？？？380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI23OJPIJqA
380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJn7PWZyABV
我愣了一下，隨即把視線轉向地板，不再東張西望。380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡySQVfqHB0S
380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI4wQvIQVEu
飛速地走到了二樓右邊深處的房間，我敲了敲房門。380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe14sAFoFij
380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhmy9lZzF4F
「請進。」380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡksgrnXb7Wm
380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVFqshghidj
在裡頭傳來了允許的回答後，我打開了房門。380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ95UN6wm26X
380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcZVWOEvfJP
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。380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvEaRpFS3ZA
380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI3dAWhUARu
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。380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7TdFLoBXe0
380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2pPtPinmHK
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。380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5THpypBBN1
380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWNLeRVuSbO
……人叻？380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8peVrYRMxk
380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkGUIMwS0Zj
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。380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI5zFo46MqA
380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYQb3jtQyx8
「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。」380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1PC60KEgxI
380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDRIdn60VwU
「好、好的，這裡是您的包裹。」380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpS8TVI2qIT
380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSXn14x0Mzl
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。380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcHv83CB5a6
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。380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡApc6v4GN9C
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。380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv2mCOk8rtl
380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcy92ylV10j
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。380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJIGVhbvZJm
380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGaZpLeuaVk
「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。」380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKEZ8TnxnJK
380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEpYP3oJhIj
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。380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEaxnTEeObb
嗯……所以我現在是直接離開就好嗎？380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeF9bF6XDlt
380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS6KXAqsr0H
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。380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy4ugTBe1Fd
380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ55uEzO2jDm
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。380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKkTO056ZvH
380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0QRrwRVPLq
「呼……」 380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8cIFdOOIVp
380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOaYVbrUE4r
喘了口氣，我在緩緩身子之際，稍微往後一望離開的路。380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6k1IOgjztI
380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkldgOFXQ84
嗯？380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIpS74d4Xnx
380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ97Hn5seIoW
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。380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJB9GAnN77E
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。380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJagVKSnf0R
380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwgOLHoDJHy
算了算了，反正不會來第二次了。380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdmYIZycc5t
380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuv4QNeQzHn
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。380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ23Ir4wR7kg
380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvJmw2nGzri
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。380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1Lv0NJHR7r
380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxaK7BShbz3
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。380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7tKxwYlFbv
380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUDOLVVPkUm
「剛剛任務結束嗎？」莉莉詢問道。380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM5ZNJt8Bcf
380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡswPYuiLHjS
「嗯，現在正準備要回去。」380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3YnNPpld8f
380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkdn37Ueqdq
「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~」380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡagqjdINld9
380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrpBaZpxaVC
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。380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeIxp5XD8pX
他們還真的是出雙入對啊……380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLqOf351i7F
380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU9rcxLtLkI
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。380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhwVnjf2GR6
我離開了公會之後，就直接回了家。380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWj8ZinN7hT
380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3eCJWhqD3W
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。380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfp6OcdcW01
380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCCHr8UGIir
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。380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg6RGhfM8tO
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。380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡapYyjl5mDs
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。380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmbJ55D6sYE
380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX25LGX0qu9
直到第二天莫璃才回復了信息。380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡghlAoIyTrW
380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTwe73jYRbA
‘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。’380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsc5cOfrvLI
380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzluP50B14f
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。380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl8a4Oxp8pF
380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡacCRw00AZw
於是我就轉換了心情，之後也沒把這件事放在心上了。380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcmFYUTwd7w
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。380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvWKm0tG0wu
380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw3oA4Gp9Jm
然後再過了幾天，我突然收到了莉莉的組隊邀約。380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2RtGmLR3kP
380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡewJdxTqQPQ
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。380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNCTqo8Pwqu
380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIK8H23lzOb
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。380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡssBcv9wm6u
380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbOgHwcol53
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。380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrkt0cO3oPa
380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmSL519V5Ne
嘛啊……看起來這次會相當熱鬧啊……380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFEdK3L9HoP
380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNvl3ilId9u
我抱著忐忑不安的心，向他們走了過去。380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeS72FyHpKo
