沙卡美在洞穴裏修煉了很長時間，從來也不覺得餓或者渴。若然不趕快練成明鏡的境界，曼賈就會殺死她愛的所有人。326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX5n0N5mNWg

「哈！哈！」她站在池裏不停向瀑布揮刀，水比冰更冷，卻澆不熄她的鬥志。326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU7p0Ghg696
326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXZRugaLMNl
既然母親每天揮一千下刀，為了超越母親，她要每天揮二千，甚至三千下刀。326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwdAfZ4etEe
326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpkqO6EGhFS
她堅信追尋之物就在努力盡頭。326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnk8548nirx
326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSkBOd17glh
受多少苦也不要緊，她不受苦的話其他人就會受苦。326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL1UlnbWRfL
326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNxz9WnBNnD
「哈！哈！」在無盡的揮刀過程裏，她的思緒漸漸飄向遠方。326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfmIKloPaPf
326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVcSC6yVT61
保護一切或捨棄一切才能達至明鏡的境界？人總會失去些事物吧？她失去了賴鐸，失去了利華特，她保護不了他們。326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsv1GGubEiY
326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwNAngixg8N
母親有達到明鏡的境界嗎？母親捨棄了她和在帝國的一切，算滿足條件嗎？散播悲傷的明鏡是明鏡嗎？大概不是。326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJouNxa1Lu8
326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0GR9zswMwC
那張紙僅是謎面，她要領悟明鏡的真諦。326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjTsLLJ2cRj
326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0UBSs6n6qm
另一邊廂，岡原、小娜和貝吏刻唐等人來到沙卡美所在的房間前。326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡId6InoeCCY
326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtQUAFnPWg8
「如果陛下清醒的話就幫她戴面具，如果昏迷的話就帶她出去再治療她，清楚嗎？」岡原問手拿著面具的小娜。326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5ff01qt93X
326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLoMpbpQGZF
「嗯。」小娜點頭。326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡecaZunAUw8
326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡevRX7jaCuq
「好。各位，準備好了嗎？」岡原對牆壁伸出手掌。326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3UilRih3AR
326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4w5GKLc5KA
「準備好了。」「準備好了。」「準備好了。」貝吏刻唐和魔法部隊成員一同瞄準牆壁。326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYyhlaqW2aj
326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4HflJAPvwN
「鮮物都・加瓦治！」326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1iKxNf2KUc
326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3xkXJRDCBn
咒語擊中牆壁，牆堅隨即化為一團灰塵。眾人精準控制過咒語有效範圍，使咒語只消除房間的牆壁326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMQeygSeOL4
326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUhdWuVVS1S
鐵門因為牆壁消失而倒下，他們看到沙卡美正坐在椅子上。326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3mobAq4RzO
326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡczqnC94tYS
「沙卡美！」小娜上前檢查她的狀況，「她昏倒了！」326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPrBrvTlKdu
326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5kxTM2Gjko
小娜抱起沙卡美，運起魔力離開基地，其他人亦隨她回到地面。326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpbTyYjq221
326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9nGzFp09RT
「沙卡美！醒醒！」小娜檢查她的呼吸，隨後聽見她在「呼呼」地小聲叫。326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh7L0TDK41I
326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6VlSqhwWt5
「小娜！陛下狀況怎麼了？」貝吏刻唐走到旁邊問小娜。326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7CTHLvXiEW
326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDJqDRFHfXU
「她在睡覺。」發現白擔心一場的小娜向貝吏刻唐露出無奈的表情。326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdQMkfJim16
326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYfuXIp8bYz
「睡、睡覺？」貝吏刻唐不太相信。326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkxOxK2IMnB
326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNq75t7q92k
「桌上有個碎掉的水晶球。我猜可能是他們想用它來操控沙卡美，但沙卡美毀了水晶球。」小娜脫下防毒面具，「她一定累透了，給點時間她休息吧。」326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfATzxvJ67E
326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡThMoTLrhpW
貝吏刻唐脫下面具，「我們要想辦法回皇宮。這可是另一個大陸的最西邊，又沒有紅圈......」326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzGOJO5wnCa
326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkjxrw97pzu
「回去也要好幾個星期，我們身上又沒有錢......」小娜嘆了一口氣，「不過哥對打獵相當熟悉，所以我不怕。」326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2vLWRTp4GO
326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJrAkmXVYyP
在學習魔法的數十年裏，貝吏刻唐經常背著小娜在森林裏打獵，小娜就在籃子內欣賞他的英姿。326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVjb1IJpCM7
326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcsD2FmBVlt
「各位！」貝吏刻唐呼叫在草原上看星的魔法部隊成員和岡原，「不如我們先去找些食物吧！」326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡidScary3AZ
326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn72FRkbYaP
「那邊有森林。」小娜用天文學知識得出方位，指著東邊的森林說：「而且還在東邊，我們在森林裏打獵，休息一晚，到早上就馬不停蹄——人不停足地趕路。」326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeLkSvqSilt
326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx43DwV6cIs
「贊成！」「贊成！」魔法部隊成員紛紛舉手支持。326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ68YP9GJXdl
326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7W2OB8AKts
小娜背起沙卡美，跟其他人慢步前往森林。326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2CxJh6tJSB
326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPTNickYS7P
「沙卡美，相信我們，沒有妳我們也不會輕言放棄。」
326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp78pVp7ban
說來神奇，沙卡美遺傳了壞人的優點和好人的缺點。她如賴鐸強悍卻不如他暴戾，如巫女擇善固執卻不如她處變不驚。擇善固執不一定指缺點，但從她的情況看，一旦錯了方向便很危險。326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNo8XXHVNqu
326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN6szKLWZAA
明鏡到底會帶她去哪裏？掌握了明鏡她就能殺死曼賈嗎？326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoAq3vSPdtL
326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxYZE2Uuhfe
她離失控僅有一步之遙，每當看到刀上的黑色火焰就不斷自責。她深信力量該用來保護而非傷害人，卻經已好幾次傷害了人。326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5l20lMgVpd
326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4pPniF56VB
從無到有，從紅到藍，從藍到金的火焰象徵著何物？金色火焰代表她的戰意燃燒到最高點嗎？326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMT7KqHqlxN
326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvMHORJV0cP
她對那把武士刀一無所知，連它的名字也不知道。無知的她就算進入明鏡境界也是會輸。326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu2GO5zuUPc
326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡowGtH6ZThW
她煞停揮刀的雙手，走到池邊放下刀，用之前突然冒出來，放在石上的毛巾抹頭。326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7TADMDXjoe
326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXnFA21IiZh
頭和臉都抹乾淨，她拿起刀盯著滿佈水珠的刀身。326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuVWJJuD0Ad
326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5W5iuuJ03z
「刀......有兩把。」326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ2xTGeq8f2
326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBi9LggbmnP
她忽然想起那把一直被遺忘，自開始揮刀後就被放在石頭邊的脇差。她撿起它，手執兩把刀的她很迷惘。326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhbIwlq4Alj
326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIt6X7ZfaPG
「我一定對你有期望才會叫你出來......」她舉高握脇差的左手抬頭，「告訴我，你想我做甚麼？」326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzeDUTQP6c1
326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZQSMY6G8lk
脇差和武士刀冒出紅色火焰，一塊巨石出現在她面前。326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI6M12eWpkU
326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJsvbnWRyAj
她放下手，對兩把刀說：「我明白了。我試試看。」326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuBURPDy0Bh
326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNW2Q5eZrpv
她跑向巨石，跳起劈向巨石，「哈啊啊啊啊！」326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi5O24cvaWq
326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡspYLvXpYJY
巨石被劈成三部份，她望向武士刀，留意到刀身在發紅光。以往刀身不會發光，最多只會被火焰纏繞。她望向脇差，也是同樣狀況。326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkTHNvBNOyu
326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaODazfZ916
沒必要走上和母親一樣的路，她要開拓出屬於她的路。326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjCqaFM4Vye
326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNjpybkpdID
紅光蔓延到她手掌、手腕、手臂、肩膀、身軀、雙腿和頭，她整個人都在發光。326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNfAwGTEMJE
326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTLIsTP7QjX
她正對其中一條石柱，身體微微傾前。326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6sjLERiyHQ
326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQr8LPaw5hH
「啊！」326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKIMMhDhC9V
326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡujofxxJlNy
她向前想兩刀劈斷石柱，卻承受不到速度之快而在石柱前摔倒。326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDCkXwbT2la
326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlpQHwwr2tu
情況就像背著重物絆倒，想向後拉自己起來卻被重物壓下去。326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM7ggyciLae
326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡobxvPDatzM
「痛痛痛......」雙刀和身體的紅光消失，火焰也熄滅，她放下雙刀靠著石柱坐下。326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ94wlcLMRjo
326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLVQJVp0Ul7
「希靈格・利卡巴。」她治好擦損的雙手，嘆了口氣。326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6I4L2NmlHY
326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6KqFfHInpP
「我果然還是不夠成熟。明明大家都在等我，我卻讓他們失望......我該怎麼辦......」326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSGzSkR6VJm
326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9moQpaJF8T
她抱膝，頭貼在手上當枕頭休息。326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvU9FtARFzJ
326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkuXINpBfA4
「明鏡......拾棄一切......保護一切......我......」她找不到謎題的解答。326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiqrn4kzQdM
326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIv0yhOhtcs
在全身都閃著紅光時，她以為終於領悟到要訣，怎料只領悟到殘酷的現實。326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAcLWYAoL5I
326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiXWJkNHJzU
要找到欠缺的東西，便先要明白自己欠缺了甚麼。326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpKMjWD3ukp
326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN8STdHAVgE
「我到底需要甚麼？沒有人會教我，只有我才想到。」她望終有一天會開竅，「我是不是早就知道但不願面對？到底是怎樣？」326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaKorefB9aO
326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV5tqiUDo9I
很痛苦。326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKKjamBpTQc
326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLwRmWhMZH8
「哪條才是正確的路？沒有——」326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡInqGY2bX4f
326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3XlwTH6u0A
她腦海一片空白，那些抱怨的句子彷彿沒存在過。她拿起雙刀回到瀑布，又再揮刀。326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4ZvZuSsR6j
326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj905z7DipW
謎底根本不重要，解開謎底並不是終點，是其中一個里程碑。既然如此，她做她認為正確的事就足夠。
