在森林深處，有個可愛的金髮女孩。由於她總是披著大紅色的兜帽，所以大家都親暱的稱呼她為「小紅帽」。372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAY1L9BMqnk
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQxZUn5JEwq
小紅帽最喜歡的人是居住在森林中的大哥哥：菲克斯。菲克斯除了對小紅帽寵溺有加，腦袋中還有著許多有趣的故事，令小紅帽深深著迷。過去，她甚至常因為滿腦子都是故事睡不著覺，被生氣的母親唸一頓。372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPoAUssFijt
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnKxu3Gk2nz
然而，好景不常，菲克斯一直以來累積的疲勞與壓力令他變得虛弱，直到小紅帽有意識時，菲克斯就已不再睜眼。372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQVVgdE85Qd
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ18zYLkIVIR
這一天，小紅帽一如以往準備好給菲克斯的餐點，便起身前往菲克斯的住處。372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOMfZ9xd2I9
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0B41mJY4ZG
菲克斯居住的小屋被大家稱作「獵人小屋」，是很久以前被稱為「獵人」的人們設立的據點。但如今這片森林裡已無猛獸，小屋也僅剩下遮風避雨的用途。自父親繼承了此處後，菲克斯便一直居住至今。372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOYxA8BtvaG
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCDeJYLpcXd
但是，小紅帽今天卻遇到了一隻狼。372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLcmjfzLobr
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9kL6x7rvbA
那不是隻普通的狼，牠以雙腳站立，身高高過小紅帽三個頭不止。372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG7t7bPdF4F
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSFEFdJDctV
「妳好，小姐。」372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSMYfbCF9GL

「咦……？」372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI142U9XpnK
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdlMAjmtVrw
小紅帽不禁發出疑惑的聲音，眼前有一隻狼在向她打招呼，可是心中卻有一種令呼吸窒礙的怪異感。372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9vwA3AGDIK
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOhutB2IG0Y
然後她聽到了一個聲音。372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡANWjHfXf1k
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjpuVkzm7wD
那是細小到若不豎耳細聽就會忽略，像是把布帛給緩慢撕開的聲音。372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjOlNkR7jbO
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFU7KRBkBVX
「我正在找『紅帽的魔女』，不知道小姐妳……知不知道她在哪裡呢？」372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtziEGtIYwg
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡihnr2hEUsN
這是明知故問。372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUP7ndJSt9H
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYghNvB2UnK
眼前的狼搓著雙爪、咧齒冷笑，那是獵者眼看獵物就要到手的深沉笑意。372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5rPyVwuIrD
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0yxTYpKJU4
小紅帽不由自主地顫慄。觀望四周，才發現風景已變得截然不同。自己竟在不知不覺中走到了邊緣。她赫然想起耳邊不祥的撕裂聲，正是結界邊緣的不穩定魔力所致。372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTt8nMfdhdN
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTx6WFeVGSb
必須快跑。否則唯有一死。372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSCDRTX8zFr
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡswNkHRd89l
然而大野狼早預料到如此。單論反應及體能，一個女孩怎麼樣也不可能敵過肌肉發達的狼。轉眼間小紅帽已被擒倒在地。大野狼咧開尖牙，重重咬下小紅帽的側腹。372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNHas11X4Gf
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlU4KtoH4nr
「——！」372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAUZalkbbl8
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZe5OtENo9o
竹籃中的流質食物翻倒在地。她甚至叫不出聲音，腦海頃刻墜入一片空白。她能夠感覺到嵌入內臟的冰冷，也能夠感覺到血液流出的溫熱。劇痛麻痺了生理，就連呼吸也無法辦到。372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7eRr8Qw1Bt
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡinttfbINel

恍惚間，熱血噴濺。372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjsoU41uaCG
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMzVi74Kl3G
粗毛滿佈的巨臂伴隨撕心裂肺的嚎啕掉落在地。接著，爪子主人的身軀瞬間纏滿了如紡絲般的細線。372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFXk5Fu5b3B
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnMWuXOIVVS
那些細線儼然像是流著鮮血，散發著猩紅的光。而絲線的源頭，全指向了倒地不起的小紅帽。372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8BcoO41teQ
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0AQ772wSrl

372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8W8MU44e9k

372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUqMdSUyDzs
絞碎大野狼的紅線彷彿具有生命地回流，如繭般裹住了她腹部的缺口。而另一部分則纏上了纖弱的四肢，驅使著動作。372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4FrX9fcxhd

小紅帽靠著矮床、喘著粗息。纏繞四肢的細線已經收起，只留下腹部的紅繭阻擋著搖搖欲墜的臟器。372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT4weokFTmb
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH7A1z5pszK
紅帽的魔女。
她輕撫過側腹，回想著大野狼對她的稱呼。指尖可以感受到血液的脈動，或許是基於護主意志吧，她可以感受到紅線正擅自以自己無法使用的治療術修復傷口。372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCn0Jq6JTgM
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYSWhNnab1O
明明傷成這樣卻還能活下來，的確已經不能再稱自己為人了吧。372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuSQ0k5exhG
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJPphF0OsbU
另一方面，她卻也感到高興。自己終於脫離了「亞獸族」這個名號的束縛，這樣就好像是替大哥哥出了一口氣般。令她感到驕傲不已。372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQHunkSZGGY
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbJPTRqvHFu
數十年前——不對，又或許是數百年前，正確的時間她已經不記得了。亞獸不願再屈於獸族的統治。於是，革命就這麼爆發了。
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg0dbi71ynR
亞獸——他們不再稱自己為獸族的亞種，而改稱自己為「人」——和獸族的戰爭從各地引燃，如野火般一路從大陸南方延燒。372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ70vlVLWAIc

即便無法操控魔力，卻精準地使用槍枝抵禦獸族的人們，在此地被稱為「獵人」。而保護了她和母親的那個身影，至今也依然深深地烙印在她的眼眸深處，從未褪色。372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ51t9dfUxPN

緊緊地縮成一團，像是著涼的孩子似地，小紅帽挪動粗壯的手臂擱在身旁，使她看起來就像被抱在懷中似地。372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMVmbXjYXdE
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1z205A87ss
然後，她輕如點水地在蒼白的臉上落下一吻。372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLExVOR29GC

372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTGypjuxG4O
只是外頭四季仍依然流轉。眼前的自然一點不自然。她是知道這點的。可是當大哥哥從自己的身旁消失的那一刻起，她的時間也已與停止無異。372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO0EKhRqzRj
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLrxSNI1VcN
步行在被綠葉斬落的陽光間，掙脫紅帽束縛的一頭金髮熠熠生輝。說來也奇怪，明明身體的成長早已停止，卻唯有頭髮仍肆無忌憚地生長，害得她總會踩到自己的頭髮而踉蹌。然而，因為大哥哥說過他喜歡長頭髮的女生，所以她也從未想過要修剪。372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcgkg4OSxpL
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5uEWDmFvtR
她半拖半背地帶著大哥哥行走。蹣跚間，一棟磚牆塌陷大半、門板腐朽、中庭甚至竄出巨木的廢墟現身於林木後方。她曾和母親一起居住在此地。但她沒能救回母親。如今這棟房子除了方便，早已沒有任何存在意義。372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCfZFvhDJHA
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtMLXlqcvQ5
推開咿呀作響的門板，將大哥哥安放在客廳的長椅上後，她獨自登上被巨木給擠得彎曲的階梯。即便門廊早已扭曲變形，她也認得出自己房間的窄門。372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLTnpWwC0JP

鮮血的氣味直撲而來。接著，映入眼簾的是一個巨大的圓形魔法陣。372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnGYKHmDWgz
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2b4IPsABhX
殷紅的咒文佔據了所有可供站立的位置。簡直像在渴望什麼似地，它們發出的光芒宛若擁有呼吸，在封印的背後粗聲低吼。372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVcFnny1ppU
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB9wQSmE5kl

372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz9zo0ZyfN0
脫下掛在肩頭的紅色披肩，仔細地折好後，小紅帽將它放置在魔法陣空無一物的中央。而就在小紅帽踏出結界的瞬間，結界竟發出了宛如心臟跳動的聲音。隨後地面竄出無數血紅色的細絲，將披肩裹得密不透風。只是和大野狼不同，看不出原形的披肩沒有被絞碎，只是如蟲一般，吸取著繭的養分。372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSJywykxJiW
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkzHvV1aEME
每個人的體內皆蘊藏著魔力，差別只在於量的多寡。而小紅帽體內的魔力甚至不及常人的三分之一。縱使可以精巧地操縱魔力到髮絲般細膩，若耗盡魔力一切也都是枉然。372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWT7KHVKN36
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWGBpjRglwE
因此，為了繼續下去，她需要一些道具。372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIDcVU5oJui

在等待魔力蓄滿披肩的同時，小紅帽走到窗邊。窗外是一片廣闊的草原。細心修剪及拔除雜草的原野欣欣向榮，風在矗立的墓碑之間穿梭，一路襲上窗口，撩亂那一頭金黃的長髮。372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgIf7VjxvBS

乾脆地閉上雙眼，捎過墓碑獻花的香氣夾帶著青草與泥的氣味。而其中夾雜的另一個味道總能令她感到無比懷念。她甚至想就這樣聞著拂面的風，趴在窗上打個永不醒來的盹。372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWV4mz5bVnc

黑影毫不避諱地回應視線，身形陡然矮下半截。下跪，那是象徵臣服與允諾的姿態。372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiFycESFOBL
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡACKqLfj1eM
雙眼緊闔，不讓黑影身後的碎沫納入視野。小紅帽緩緩牽起黑影狀似手的部分，聚精會神。372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnA1SMMHDkD
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5DmVrW7LQs
為了救回大哥哥。她不被允許沉浸在癲狂與失意當中。
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhuQSboxhVO
無論灼傷多少次咽喉、無論流下多少血淚、。
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnudJoJvkK2
這一切，她都會全然領受。372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPK2XIZEofh
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ85JHMdpMsO
只為了再與他一同歡笑。372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoM2yNKdNEZ
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQCiQMKs1xq
心一沉，握緊手中那份朦朧的觸感。372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmNvklIBmtY
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKxyZWcBoVX
意識，就這麼沉入深海。372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUenrmu9THL

目可觸及的一切盡被廣闊的光流淹沒。鋪天蓋地，就連五感與實體都在奔竄的洪流當中被沖散。372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgViZ1UV5iZ
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtxY7rRifaV
透過潛意識中的操控、咒文、以及吞噬了大哥哥的惡魔魔力，她才得以觀望時間的奔流。
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1pBLQtP3ZP
一旦迷失神識，便會被浩瀚的洪流徹底溶解消弭。然而，在此處不存在肉身與感官，就連自身究竟存在與否都無法確認。那麼，一直以來究竟是靠著什麼在尋找的呢？她不知道。那或許已成為她靈魂最深處的本能，亦或者都是誤打誤撞罷了。372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhI1KqwMEaC
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs4SsMKL7Zg
霎然，她發現光流的方向逆轉、又或者是自己正逆流而上。無論如何能夠確定的是，時間正在回溯。372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2sB3m0Q3Ok
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBhQVD8FiCj
一束束的模糊光流隨著倒溯而逐漸變得密集、最終匯聚於一點。正是那個時候，她想替病倒的大哥哥送上親手做的餐點時，大哥哥就這麼消失的時候。至今經歷過了什麼都不重要，唯有那一刻她無論如何都無法忘記。
漫天奔騰的世界中唯有那個光點清晰可見，好像伸手便能將其掌握一般。372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuN8ITPxbQV
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlp0m305l9P
而她也真的將其緊握住了。372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPfIP9ZEXwo
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB5RuhkniPX
手中的觸感變得牢實的瞬間，視野頓時豁然開朗。取回了五感及實體，小紅帽就這麼從意識的深處抽離。372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLgRVzl1uHr
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTSBGOUKHes
同時，她感覺到一股重量忽地往身上壓下。372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpADU4CcFX9
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1ypN0dy4ML
纏繞黑影的烏煙遭到蒸散、被風帶去。而後留下的，是那道熟悉的身影。372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV0DN5jXYID
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLUv6PGYa7M
熾熱的體溫和確切的沉重彷彿要將小紅帽壓倒，但她並沒有認輸，只是頑強地支撐著沉眠的菲克斯。那拼命的模樣顯得如此嬌小。是的，唯有在菲克斯的面前，她才是楚楚可人的小紅帽。372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLp7eRd7b9R
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFVrupmLHkQ
一旦大哥哥消失，她就會化身為駭人聽聞的紅帽魔女。372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpPYIWJPBwD
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpi0OT15i3V
其實，她一點也不喜歡這個稱號。372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcPPGILQrgq
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyvKhhVXXeq
什麼紅帽魔女、什麼長生不老、什麼操魔能力，她一點也不想要。372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡATduOLQnyb
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2Uxs9rGIpt
她只是想要大哥哥再次醒來、再繼續把沒說完的故事給說下去，當個能夠依偎在溫暖懷中的小紅帽而已。372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkz9FqJ7G0t
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡum4U8dtesu
緊抱著這份確實的暖意。這一次，她必定會救回那時沒能挽留的事物。372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb0AxW370n5
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOcYXRuaeqF
就算將迎來的是第一百七十次、甚至是往後數不清的失敗，她也會義無反顧。372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV0vyK6d4ZV

將殘骨與碎沫裝進甕中、著手埋葬時，小紅帽忽然想到了一點。372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQupzS5aW6D
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdPB5sC4Lok
在這裡死去的每一個菲克斯都是來自過去。372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZfPzty6Zpc
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC6aQqK1326
那麼，她為什麼會覺得只有「現在」的她在尋找菲克斯醒來的可能呢？372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ86xrOCV9Mc
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcZGg6uLnnr
在「過去」，難道就沒有「未來」的她在尋找嗎？372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJtbxWTUNdz
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnfRSCXe7YE
想到這點，小紅帽笑了。是近乎於癲狂的笑了。372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrSlvb8spVr
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvpO4Ppm7Kl
事到如今才發現又有何用。372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLrSqH0RXjq

在如謝落花瓣的遍地墓碑群當中，唯有那抹異樣的鮮紅搖曳著，永不凋零。
