和梨猛力推開木板，從木桌激烈碰撞後斷裂的殘骸下蹦了出來，拍掉身上的灰塵及木屑，「不過就一個徽章而已發這麼大的脾氣，怕被拆穿當初就不要說謊啊。」427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcPBhAbo9so
427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmGcMZaRCbM
「就是愛慕虛榮啊，我們村子可一堆這樣的老頭。」二郎從沒受到波及的二樓走下樓梯，全場只有他一個躲上去。427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDI6TAqz1vu
427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRhilaJ4wHZ
「哼，虛榮？誰在乎他多厲害。」427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtkX1DTIEQE
427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGwajmisQQy
「妳啊，不就是妳先問他徽章的事情。」427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpybVlXAAIB
427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyTSrM5qn4E
「我只是好奇啊，而且他是藍色的不也是中級？這樣夠強了還隱瞞幹嘛。」和梨此時才注意到一旁收拾東西的老闆娘與哈吉爾，「啊，我們也來幫忙。」說完便開始將損毀的東西集中。427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFzHcSNfZJE
427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5OW0iEPufP
「你們剛啟程沒多久吧？」老闆娘事發當下也在場，有看到和梨秀出她的寶寶徽章，「在這個冒險者氾濫的年代，徽章幾乎等於冒險者的尊嚴地位。或許你們在家鄉時沒這種感覺，但我做餐館的真的看太多了。」427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxeWs2PoGtK
427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4tBoEDY1q7
要說沒有發覺肯定是騙人的。427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡssoABGHu6k
427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE5ACCgoWjh
和梨也冒險了一個多月，她總有注意到人們總是在談論最高級別的金色徽章——皇家騎士團的身分證。二郎就不用說了，自己當初連被稱為「寶寶」都覺得是種恥辱。427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUhVlseaT7y
427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh1BeJht6ys
哈吉爾的堂哥肯定也是如此，中級並不是值得拿來炫耀的級別，倒不如藏起徽章對外謊稱自己有多厲害，才能引起他人的崇拜。427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaNhUkGD1ub
427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoDBXz79bQ4
「連優秀的拉夫一族也是如此，而自從夏沐·拉夫進入皇家騎士團後，這個現象更是病態。」427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfO2jbcjY6n
427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHYe1o7ZJ48
老闆娘飽含不捨的眼神投向哈吉爾，卻已不見他人蹤影。不過不打緊，那名老顧客心情不好會去哪裡她都知道。427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8IZQW7V41Z
427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOftyewndYO
她盯著另一個方向的陽台入口，因為視線死角看不見人，斜射在地的人影卻露了餡。427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY0nhTP3xj4
427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKmfm1VEOOb
「因為如此，年輕一輩的孩子們似乎把冒險當成義務，不想去冒險的人們會被閒言閒語，但我不希望他們的意願被扼殺。」427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlQtkJ9dxBs
427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4f6XXqmB1f
明明人們就是為了能夠擁有更多選擇才努力增廣見聞、充實自我的，為什麼事到如今，成了更優秀的魔法師反而失去選擇的權利呢？427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMdB0sWeXmu
427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU35qhrg4o6
不僅僅是老闆娘對孩子的不捨，這也是哈吉爾對於現況的無奈。
427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP9jCGEROb3
木片與殘骸、玻璃碎屑與壓扁的鍋具。427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwkrPhI62Am
427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfT0n0p5VdF
只要他手指輕輕一揮，要操控這些復位輕而易舉，可是人生卻沒這般輕鬆。427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3CvcJWOHow
427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3vfFjNys43
本來以為自己已經對眾人的期許免疫了，沒想到堂哥一出現，心情再度跌落谷底。427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhb58iTLkS1
427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw7gaCd0H5f
哈吉爾偶爾會在心情不好時來到這裡，儘管餐館生意興隆，這個陽台倒是沒什麼人會過來。427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡigmk27eq1C
427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ11zARJg5pU
畢竟這位置視野極差，眼前只有一棵大樹擋著，看景沒有、要看啄木鳥或小蟲子倒是可以發現幾隻。427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ7AJweK2Tp
427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkO2b1caHGY
「不想離家的原因，我可以問你嗎？」427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdPb7OWisY4
427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd3oOMTUy3u
凝望樹皮放空的目光回神，哈吉爾轉頭，和梨正從步出陽台。427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ94HZPR1Efc
427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc1r2XN2ljG
不是平常那種不經思考的問句，和梨這次問話時的眼神很真誠。427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWvhxF6c9TL
427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ8U3HfQQ8E
不過這種問題該怎麼回答？哈吉爾思考半晌，仍舊想不出個所以然。427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2V7IRiNpGg
427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUznQ4gkmn9
想與不想之間一定要有原因嗎？427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ06jNNv9M10
427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr9ntXt7s63
「我的故鄉有個每年都會派首席畢業生出航的習俗。」427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoZYgQv0xcC
427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7kVC8uKOuc
在哈吉爾保持沉默的這段時間裡，和梨決定把自己的故事搬上檯面。427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp1nxFpwA87
427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW7N5qvqZHJ
「我這屆的首席跟你一樣，並不想出航，所以韋斯特他……他才會把機會讓給我，我只是想知道為什麼。」427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9G7J2g2U5i
427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbdhG3QTtEz
身為聰明的人，哈吉爾飽讀詩書、充滿文學素養與氣質，不過從外部吸收知識和探索內心是兩碼子事。427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtpLNq35ksx
427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLTVmLItyps
「我不知道……」他低著頭，「抱歉，我不知道怎麼形容。」
427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVwVGgd31rf
「跟你一樣，很聰明什麼都會，也是被大家寄與厚望。」和梨走近，平時充滿活力的語調這次放得輕柔，「韋斯特，也就是我這屆的首席，他說過他想永遠待在大家身邊。」427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLujmAA5x9p
427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIlp4m8XGD4
話語至此便在哈吉爾心中引起一道共鳴。427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4Rf0uF0Y1Z
427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq4c750ZeWq
沒去外地居住過不代表不諳世事，哈吉爾知道成為冒險者必須承擔相對應的風險，他也知道這個社會絕對沒有表面那樣單純。427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4BmurGqMzx
427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxKuVzONIIN
不然為什麼好朋友伊卡姆·恩札這麼討厭皇室？儘管他不像政治魔人那樣咄咄逼人，而是什麼也不說，但他肯定經歷過什麼。427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡglTeHyIFoL
427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwuGw7OeRl5
哈吉爾也曾和餐館與觀光招待所的老闆娘聊過，她們雖然常常接觸到外地冒險者，但以冒險者身分二度來到這裡的人屈指可數。427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTzqsgMXUry
427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXlzTvGWANJ
反正到最後都會放棄——就像這裡的一些老魔法師一樣——那一開始就待在原地也何嘗不是一種好選擇呢？427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGs2wl5uSjP
427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZUvrC8Ap6q
「韋斯特那樣說，搞得好像我不想待在大家身邊一樣欸，真是的。」和梨貌似回想起對話當下的心情，嘟起了嘴，「我愛我的家鄉，總有一天我也一定會找到越城之翼回去。」427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDrOFTv5FWk
427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡATyaszhP8W
「那妳為什麼會想要出航？」哈吉爾不懂。427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0tR1RQLG1r

「奈列多摩的文明停滯了很長一段時間，你知道我們文明大躍進是什麼時候嗎？」427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoFLzddjPtY
427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEtaOop1L75
仔細思考與和梨對談過的空島相關內容便能發現其端倪。哈吉爾心裡有個底，與和梨所公布的答案一致。427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSdZZ9EHmMP
427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2keRMVa2II
「是卡斯狄奧帶著納爾拉蒂特的文明回來的時候。」427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfIng52UhTC
427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYex0Utqifg
若不是他，空島上農作物的收成不會如此豐收、許多行動敏捷的動物也獵捕不到，更重要的是——因為他，島民才能在最少犧牲的情況下逃離島上怪物的魔爪。427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBj8pIN7Mte
427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKje8aAfmCN
即使卡斯狄奧被這裡的人們視為罪犯，他仍是和梨心目中的英雄。427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdSHOZnrOGv
427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡySjbzkt8Wu
「我才不是因為想離開家才想出航勒！我是想讓大家過上更好的生活才那麼拼命的好不好。」427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWbbMVVIf3o
427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUGMdWWsDPc
說出崇尚理想的和梨彷彿閃閃發光，至少在哈吉爾眼中頓時變得很耀眼。427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIjMVUHGX99
427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLlQjubzEgb
他突然想起堂哥嘲諷自己的話——該對這個世界做點貢獻。427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxm2kCno2Mu
427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLJfeEB75Vb
「……我想我只是害怕改變。」427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPuqv66bj59
427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡefIJJtYaWD
「什麼東西？」427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZaw2zh4NV0
427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp6jC79qhVz
「不想離家的原因。」哈吉爾低語，「去外面學習新魔法回來幫助柯吉梅什麼的，我沒有過這種偉大想法。只是想著會不會出去個幾年，等回來時大家都變得不一樣了，我好像是害怕這個。」427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKtMYuHiTax
427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuCKepoZbCT
哈吉爾不知道自己為什麼會這麼想，他天生就是如此多慮，就好像明明從沒被石子絆倒過卻對石頭退避三舍一樣。427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfKQgw5Pmwo
427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhvft5zqhEk
忽然覺得自己是不是很自私，想到這，哈吉爾在意異性眼光的憋慫習慣又出現了。他扭扭捏捏地撫著後脖頸，「呃，也不全然是害怕啦，這有什麼好怕的。」427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKEOOzRGv87
427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmxa3XH7kHW
他還在思考接下來該怎麼挽回自己顏面，突然頭頂上一股溫熱拉回他的思緒。427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDETe5uLwZV
427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbCCWuEX65w
和梨正墊起腳尖，伸長手努力搓揉高自己快一顆頭的哈吉爾頭頂。427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpxfIA1T5hv
427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpngX5UgFqJ
「害怕又沒什麼好丟臉的，人都會害怕啊。」和梨說地一副理所當然，動作也像在安撫狗狗，只是比一般人粗魯了些，「我心情不好的時候只要被這樣摸頭就會平靜一點了。」427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1mz6A2VhOo
427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeUIU9246jq
溫暖沁流入心，透過手掌把那份溫柔毫無保留地傳遞過來。427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAG58NstBCV
427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFTmXpCa8av
哈吉爾的心情真的平復許多。427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwiiJ5MXVkf
427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGXG4ky1a4y
但不知怎地，他低頭看著和梨專注的模樣、看著她清澈明亮的黑眸、看著那抹稚氣的微笑時——心情又有些躁動起來。427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ23ygINRIte
427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk8UPGZFM67
他只好把頭越沉越低，直到對方收手為止。427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe0OqtjQRo4
427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz8WG2Un3iR
「我終於能稍微明白韋斯特為什麼不想出航了，謝謝你啊哈吉爾。」和梨就像是解開了困擾已久的謎題，長嘆一口氣後對著空氣嘀咕，「啊啊～不過到底在怕什麼啦，其他人會改變，我們也會啊，又不是改變了就不是原本的自己了，真是的……」427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1gkIKCB6wO
427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTSrPPjEpDm
「啊，我不是在針對你哦。」這白目終於發現自己的自言自語有些不妥，「好啦好啦，既然你都這麼坦誠地告訴我原因了，我再繼續纏著你就太不識相了，對吧？」427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7KoGiVyXUw
427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE8MZogR201
和梨仰起頭，對自己如此成熟的舉動感到驕傲，她真希望二郎在這，肯定也會對她刮目相看的。427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXLcoPy1IkN
427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKbOySZLQWJ
一臉神氣地用鼻子呼出氣流，輕拍哈吉爾的背要他不必在意，「我會去找其他魔法師的，這段時間打擾你了。」427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡATRnais7b3
427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcV42MdKOra
「不用找了。」427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQi6PVCc27h
427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB54uSypar8
突如其來的一句讓和梨左顧右盼，想看看是哪個混蛋又要來阻止她找尋夥伴，直到對方再度開口，她才確信那句話是出於隔壁人之口。427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZGm3Ry6XP7
427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkOXC1Uvg0t
「我……」427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOezGRsMNux
427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡatHzq1LJiH
和梨一臉難以置信的樣子，只見哈吉爾猶豫了片刻，不時眨眨深邃的眼眸子。427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5ZoQBqSWPD
427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMTp4KksrtJ
「我跟你們一起。」427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDtV2K4fyq4

昨天晚上我躺在沙發上快睡著，突然間來了一個不到一秒的劇烈晃動。427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvWCN7K37Zf
「地震！」我媽說。她就坐在沙發另一邊。
而我也在半夢半醒之間回她：「地震！」
隨後不到一分鐘我就睡著了。
現在想想哪天真的大地震我應該也是睡著來不及逃跑的那個XD427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3IvBEgqYhb
