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」。374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDg9TDK00mx
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBZk8Gi9IO8
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。374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjZjD8uVbLC
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoYASiYPQ0l
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。374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmXNuUl8SKl
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuJUir81k0c
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。374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnvStnPyeXC
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0dxAAju7Ez
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。374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUHIC6Dq752
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPEb0q5lwZS
但是，小紅帽今天卻遇到了一隻狼。374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCGlrbb9GzV
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfCAsceUH2h
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。374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡocVXv2nWaj
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHPkq23BGW6
「妳好，小姐。」374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSoa8lghpAG

「咦……？」374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQAduQyxJGZ
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbIx7NANIFF
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。374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRglMdq4nUe
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa8qlKpbJZ0
然後她聽到了一個聲音。374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOd8frmIMPk
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEdqk5yfB6O
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。374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnn9siSkAlf

「我正在找『紅帽的魔女』，不知道小姐妳……知不知道她在哪裡呢？」374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡudRlk3FUVu

這是明知故問。374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaCGnoaUVlu

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。374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNT8CEJY6rl
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsHXbvkCgWt
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。374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf1VczNJVSu

必須快跑。否則唯有一死。374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTidQyMsIWN
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡne0TS5RiGn
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。374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGa1wvX5VCE

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。374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX2ORZaUHBt
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmHPCDOIbvj

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。374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhshxc6Yg18

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。374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7eqMg5t6pY

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。374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH3vysNwAqf

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。374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDvnPiRXCx2
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMg6n4e1c5r
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。374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2kVyVuRYR8
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMZPblK5G7x
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。374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvDYwBnk704
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoxfIbsXApC
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。374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuXbyvEzmIT
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSFoqNnAwSX
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。
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡenDIUl2ZNk
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。374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjO7cYo5nm0

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。374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRLz7lmwEkp

374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡReOB4oSNJ1
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。374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUnoyKrcIUc
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7dZPTLbwpZ
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。374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJNIcX0Ge4R

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。374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKKV5RsjIkF

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。374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFJrUhuDzhH

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。374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgn7iJjQNiH

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。374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhgS8p382eD

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。374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8eSL1dmJJy
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbnzqxz9zGc
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。374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxB9LSfBVh2
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhcCZF9tReR
為了救回大哥哥。她不被允許沉浸在癲狂與失意當中。
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEryQJQfXWC
無論灼傷多少次咽喉、無論流下多少血淚、。
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoY1JKEjerk
這一切，她都會全然領受。374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSqn6Owtlq7
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNOUoQxkmoB
只為了再與他一同歡笑。374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFqauuXBHyD
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr6x1sakoP2
心一沉，握緊手中那份朦朧的觸感。374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpgo3s8fszK
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7gC5omnrMx
意識，就這麼沉入深海。374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡot1JFIDm32

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。374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz9u9SYXmyF
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9V2mDk1wkk
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。
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡboqidZrKv3
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。374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwv74H39zHm
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzeAigbmIC4
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。374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWCtbGWQfW4
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzttmJNBQgs
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。374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqGT4lHYtfb
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYrSqWTLlh9
而她也真的將其緊握住了。374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOGQ0BMIow1
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqy9gll6TX4
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。374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlDct4DWbaR
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfYfTNdtKl8
同時，她感覺到一股重量忽地往身上壓下。374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLf4geHkGuS
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwmFZyj2pmk
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。374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP9Wqv2xv6j
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ64McLmqx8o
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。374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNWRDm2bW3f
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhNk3cdw9v7
一旦大哥哥消失，她就會化身為駭人聽聞的紅帽魔女。374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwKJHwJY9Ni
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVmyn1AXH5a
其實，她一點也不喜歡這個稱號。374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNENmLPH6QD
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI30Kwem4Ma
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。374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7UUJBK757l
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk29b78ZWXY
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。374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOqJ7TNXbVJ
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡukztE3nARY
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。374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfMRWyMGfAZ
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkjMf7oRE9I
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。374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhtLRLY9Ie4

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。374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpmhppv3BLu
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5nicw7i2q5
在這裡死去的每一個菲克斯都是來自過去。374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2TsUe5Dtwf
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZFhJX8HDU6
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？374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSAafpWUd4l
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0YgOXDAtG8
在「過去」，難道就沒有「未來」的她在尋找嗎？374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvh4R7cKbcb
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx2PL7V754S
想到這點，小紅帽笑了。是近乎於癲狂的笑了。374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuFK4jDThio
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAmidNlWVWQ
事到如今才發現又有何用。374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5cdbeivgi5

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。
