接近日落時分，安提娜等人完成了掃蕩公園的任務後，也前去協助其他冒險者。146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmPkf1Opw7C
146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGP4FScOYTz
戰鬥了將近一天的時間，弓箭手村的眾人皆感到疲憊不堪。但幸運的是，怪異的菇菇群與石巨人身影已經幾乎從村子裡頭消失。146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBDc0EkmVYr
146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2fL26F1fE7
「大家做得好！好在有你們大家。」146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVIQD4MbhAM
146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqwpznD1V7r
傍晚時刻，赫麗娜對著正在享用烤肉的一眾冒險者講道。146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8Wp10OwDos
146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsaUcr15sB9
這位弓箭手大師在眾人完成任務後，讓大家聚集到了村子的中心處。應該是要慰勞大家的辛苦吧。儘管村子尚未完全脫離危機，但赫麗娜還是讓前來幫忙的冒險者們得以盡情享用豐盛的晚餐。146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0m9r11FUSs
146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbvqkxMi63Z
平常的弓箭手村，居民食物是以菇菇做成的料理為主食，但現在因為莫名的原因，怪物皆變得十分異常。因此，赫麗娜並不敢讓眾人冒著風險用辛苦一天所狩獵到的菇菇當做食材，取而代之的是從附近村莊進口過來的鮮美肥肥肉。146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCWIws2NYSn
146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyuIHhUP8PZ
「雖然白天的戰鬥很是激烈，但還好大家都沒受到太大的傷勢。現在請大家好好的享用晚餐吧！」146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ51WXPU5mgq
146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXXkbxuze8k
站在最前方的赫麗娜大聲說著。146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxxV9NOY88v
146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzVSZIiWJXx
之後，弓箭手村沈浸在短暫的熱鬧氛圍裡。146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHdxm56sqiv
146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhjh598bbo5
「教官，您不吃嗎？」146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnVGtTHDMxJ
146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl0m6BL8Rex
赫麗娜並沒有加入晚餐的行列裡，米克森好奇地向這位弓箭手大師詢問道。146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfruKK6lgr2
146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH8nN8ypNlw
「不！我身為村長，同時也是冒險者的榜樣，還不到休息的時候。稍微喘口氣，待會我還得去村子口警戒怪物的湧入。」146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCd3PW1K1hB
146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdndTHu9qU9
「教官，這樣身體會不堪負荷的。您帶領我們狩獵了一天，更需適時休息啊！」146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvTeF3Iwxkm
146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBWNe13VbLR
「沒錯。既然您是村長，那就更應該為自己身體著想才對吧。」146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc52fHlPEZy
146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM9OnlK85is
在米克森之後，維德也接著講道；而一旁的艾瑪在這時站了起來。146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKYe3akzGDR
146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOTeaKQcExj
她默默地走到赫麗娜身邊，突然伸出手環住赫麗娜的左邊臂膀，略微強硬地將她拉到烤肉點。146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1r7Y8BUYaR
146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvzXBcEERWY
「你們真是的……」146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK9aBD4UHCj
146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeBpnC81KYh
赫麗娜有點無奈地嘆了口氣，並有點不甘願的說：146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlk0l2zvz6i
146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVRvfNZHxvJ
「好吧，我休息一會就是了。」146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS41Dpg4KRX
146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQEd8PGQWgX
「這樣才對嘛！烤肉很好吃呦！」146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIhNNb8aQmb
146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡli4ivlcyUg
艾瑪拉了一個椅子讓教官坐下，並像媽媽照顧小孩般的幫她夾菜。146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTgqpQYLoNv
146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9g2S4hLznN
看見艾瑪為自己所做之事，赫麗娜不禁苦笑著。146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNvUuGCqB2F
146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvtPpeOiOrD
「你們還真可愛呢！只是這種立場顛倒實在好不習慣呀。」146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQvrFKvVYPo
146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpzY7YEIRmT
「您平常不只為了村莊，甚至為了我們這些冒險者費盡心思，這時讓我們盡點心意又有何關係！」146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWY9YPLHRMc
146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ863RAV3xAE
艾瑪回應後，安提娜也接著說：146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcYWCD4JWko
146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHAQkq5V4Sf
「雖然我並非弓箭手，也跟赫麗娜教官您少有接觸，但那些事蹟我時常聽說。⋯⋯包括以前與黑魔法師的戰爭，您也作為聯盟的代表之一努力著吧。」146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhuOMwQqdsr
146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXoH0ll5aWf
安提娜雖然來到這裡不久，但已經聽過非常多赫麗娜的功績。146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7nHz2dPTml
146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwWcTBeJIaF
聽兩名少女這麼一說，赫麗娜竟也微微紅了臉龐。146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnYTyD1NcsK
146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRDVQEziN8w
「不然晚上的警戒工作，能不能讓我們來幫忙呢？」146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2p6UCaah7Q
146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGJiYqlRdMB
安提娜向赫麗娜如此提議，並也同時看向艾瑪，後者也興致勃勃地點點頭附和。146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡznenW92MGI
146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW8n4fuNfCU
於是精靈女子便露出認真思考的表情。146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm1hsm40Zl4
146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5BQ7540Reh
「我白天有大致看過你們的表現，好吧⋯⋯如果只是警戒工作倒是沒問題。你們兩個就一起守一邊吧。至於另外一端果然還是我來⋯⋯⋯」146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbhyXnGMy1Z
146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡURm2AqDTjE
「另外一頭是否可以交給我和維德？」米克森說道，並好奇地接著問：146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvZi6hb2hmL
146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDfnNsb3xHI
「您的體力在白天消耗得很嚴重了吧？」146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRKJMD0Qo2d
146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEIpAxoyMuc
似乎對此有些震驚，精靈女子搔了搔頭。146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpj7arzVSSV
146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPCjBbjp90F
「其實我回來的時候，剛好看到您氣喘吁吁的模樣。」146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzq6uU8owgm
146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4RUvNA0s6T
「啊......那還真不好意思呢。」146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSFcxvrPaD5
146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaGayERJD3g
這個弓箭手大師似乎也很矜持某些事情，或許另一方面也希望能做好冒險者的榜樣吧。146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYURmbZ6U8o
146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd5Ar7U14gW
於是米克森接著說：146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2VEA5fcp1L
146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQU1Wsbe191
「雖然魔力可以靠著藥水回復，但精神與體力的消耗還是得透過適當休息彌補的。」146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaMJRa9KmPZ
146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNTtjjMwQlv
「沒錯。就算妳是弓箭手大師，也不需要給自己這麼大壓力！」艾瑪接著附和。146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtnZLx867Hj
146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcnLNNKVh1o
實際上，像這樣主動幫賢者這類大人物的忙，肯定對自己的未來是有幫助的。不過安提娜覺得他們也不完全是基於利益的考量才自告奮勇。146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSQGta2DeDx
146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡubfl4fKyPs
透過他們的談話和誠懇的表情，少女對認識不久的這些隊友似乎也有了更深入的瞭解。146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFZXAt9UGT7
146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcGybbKbP79
「那好吧，今晚的警衛任務就交給你們了。但切記，如果遇到應付不來的狀況記得馬上撤退回來尋求支援。」146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfwPQJbuPzB
146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdU8Q25Phim
「是的！」146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWridj2N5W6
146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0R0Irg9Scl

接近深夜時分，從附近的藥水舖回來的克里斯說道。146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcLN5HJoIos
146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5LBQPp4fLn
「哎呀！你也跟村長還有大家一起乖乖休息吧！」146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqHjPibfZ88

「怎麼好像被妳講得很弱一樣。」146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡguPsexlaJF
146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCnQmEnXWSM
「你白天這麼頻繁使用魔法，體力消耗了很多，休息一下確實比較好。」安提娜說。146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡak4hLSVzk7
146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhlUJuwqAQJ
本來準備對艾瑪反攻的克里斯，因此而將注意力轉移至白髮少女身上。146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡivqkK1NTko
146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkfzZaO7DFo
原本升起的銳氣瞬間轉化成平柔的言語，但也不忘暗酸一旁的艾瑪。146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFEGm4IXdv4
146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfQzb628fKN
「還是提娜妳比較善解人意。」146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs7Hh7EZirH
146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8iOAIcnrFl
但他的這句話，反倒引起了艾瑪的補刀。146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡar6j4F4hKV
146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmtmvoPor16
「拜託！我可是真的關心你欸。這就是所謂的見色忘友吧......」146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9OGYYgq6uR
146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡySFR8RtzLp
這使得克里斯有些難為情，他無暇去反擊艾瑪，與安提娜剛好對視的雙眼有些不知所措，只好揮了揮手說道：146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7Iaf7KEka7
146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpE2edOd8yk
「妳、妳別聽她亂講，誰叫哪有女孩子像她那麼粗魯啦！」146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuzFtVtTJ6u
146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡchnRpBAIBg
「所以這不是見色忘友是什麼？」146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc6Tk6deT7B

「輪不到妳說啦！看過哪一個人一直被朋友霸凌的？」146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡET0HuhmFv4
146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU1rQ9EnpfF
對於兩人的相處模式，安提娜似乎也漸漸習慣了⋯⋯。146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLpn4na5XIK
146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRGNWY28oDX
「總之晚上就交給我們四個吧。剛成為魔法師不久的你能夠做到這樣已經很不容易了。」維德走到少年的旁邊拍了下他的肩膀。146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡILe5207nmc
146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKdmqUDZT8W
「沒錯，尤其是白天你和艾瑪的合體技實在很厲害呦！」146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9VzkAZ5Fi9

短暫和隊友哈拉一番後，四人便按照稍早的預定、兩兩一組前往村子的兩端。146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9fKGoTQ1Fs
146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0TDUtXgRZT
在村子的入口附近，原本是只有藍寶、紅寶與菇菇棲息的地方，但怪物變異的現在，別說怪物可能變得異常強大，甚至隨時有可能被意料之外的怪物入侵⋯⋯比如最棘手的就是刺菇菇與石巨人。146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZprgYFpswu

兩人說完對望了一下，便開始迎擊似乎有意靠近的紅寶與藍寶。146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQmbuUfbdVV
146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqUwMuwxp85
不過出乎意料的，紅寶、藍寶的攻擊性並沒有想像中強，本以為會像菇菇群與巨人一樣變得兇暴無比，但可能是紅藍寶本身就十分不具有威脅性，是連孩童都能輕易將之玩弄的生物，因此哪怕是現在仍舊不成問題。146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjqppVJ3PJX

146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdRq135HhfJ
艾瑪與安提娜有點無語地說。兩人在迎擊完一小波的怪物後，發現蝸牛群其實並非要入侵村莊，便不再攻擊。146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEzO4IXHGRy
146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBuLQGrv3VN
然而也沒有其他必須提防的怪物了，於是兩人便回到警戒的狀態。146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ07ZB5US8cx
146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMcv4OSSvrE
146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWfFtU6vNCn
之後又過了漫長的一段時間，還是沒有出現任何的強力怪物。兩名少女依然只能在夜空下坐觀蝸牛慢條斯理的移動。不過⋯⋯無事當然就是最好的事，只求怪物並不是全都聚集到另一邊就好。146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq96PXNkTwL
146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmCn2t8Nynw
兩人一邊警戒著，一邊也聊起天來防止睡意的入侵。146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlplWGihqlu

146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmAjsnPjC2n
「欸、我問妳哦，妳好像是因為一些特別因素而來到這的。要不要趁著現在講講呢？還是我們來互相分享也行，這樣就很公平吧！」艾瑪說。146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡthUWhYjcrN
146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4aGF4uEavR

不過聽她這麼講到後，換成是安提娜不解地問：146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6wC5zwbm3m

「提、提娜……」146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8rwiwmpaU6
146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwqPXjFCdUa
應該是察覺到她的憤怒，艾瑪隨即伸出左手包覆在她緊緊閉合的右手上。146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9lTNfSexiz
146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeivm88TfUl
「我無法體會妳所經歷的，畢竟我出生在還算幸福的家庭，但我還是能感覺到妳的痛苦。」146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4WAk4x9mfe
146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd3MkjHiIqQ
在說完這句後，艾瑪有很長一段時間，都只這樣不發一語的牽著安提娜的手，偶爾兩人又四目相對。146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7GzA5S8ZST
146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmiKDyOcJ5D
不過兩人都不尷尬。146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUaI6c2l1WI
146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg1n4HShw8U
「那最後的結果只有妳活著嗎？」146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ28WPftBtYo
146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVEe2S1iGiJ
艾瑪思考了許久才又道出這句疑問。146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQB10vIsNq5
146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX7Q9Cd5HY7
「我……」146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqkEBksQbKr
146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDg7pEN8yFo
安提娜的表情產生了改變。146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡirvk1rRXTz
146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLbrhonH9bK
她並不完全是憤怒，而是……146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ60OXbI9I13
146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL9jDldzl6T
——悲傷。146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPDBfQt4k7L
146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbGsJgB5AZV
曾幾何時，被悲傷的情緒覆蓋過的自己，眼淚已經點滴的流下。這是艾瑪第一次看到外表嚴峻的安提娜流淚。146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1rRFm8mvH0
146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSReWHw5VOz
「他們……他為了我，犧牲，自己。」146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzYJMePr822
146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxwiKi0JopH
已經稱不上是完整的一句話，但艾瑪從她的反應以及到目前為止聽說的便能知曉一二了。146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsPWEConRun
146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ32rAZ1CYgA
原本在艾瑪的心底，都認為安提娜只是輕微的面癱加上略微寡言罷了。但今天聽到她說的這些，才終於明白她竟有如此沉痛的遭遇。146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdgWwQehdQX
146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxe2e9HwSsG
這時，艾瑪突然做出安提娜意料之外的舉動。146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeGXlo8tPJz
146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqVhkO9CqGM
她從側身將她環抱住，彷彿是要安慰她似的。146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsgerMO46oj
146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1Y824mh8go
「艾、艾瑪……」146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB2CPbWMFPs
146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOUA27ShjVe
「妳不用說下去，我大概暸解了。是我的錯！我不該勾起妳的傷心事。」146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOEm69n0zD2
146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhvHy8dzXPr
艾瑪感到抱歉地搖了搖頭。146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh4NytPKTbe
146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDVNw8S4jsT
「不會的。有人願意聽我說這些，其實我的心情也舒坦了不少。」146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtx4uMC4WC3
146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB57YOH1fbo
「那妳會來到維多利亞島應該就是為了⋯⋯？」146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMMvXOagril
146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfkiVookJOU
安提娜點頭。「為了擺脫懦弱的自己，更是為了有天能夠輕手葬送那些惡魔。」146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ77U6SW8OO6
146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1KRGcwbSQB
預料之內，因此艾瑪聽聞後沒感到意外，只是平靜卻又感傷地開口：146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE56BB0dGW4
146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6IpZqO2Hih
「我不能多說什麽，我不會叫妳別帶著仇恨活著，因為任何人都無法體會妳的心情。但是不管未來會怎樣，我都希望妳能好好地活著哦！」146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡErtl9YGfof
146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzdwyHngKHm
「艾、艾瑪……妳怎麼也流淚了？」146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdg9zLyWGXf
146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgszsUEBOs8
這時的安提娜感到有點錯愕，剛才的悲傷情緒被艾瑪的一陣陣意外之舉和話語所逐漸沖擊而淡化。146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFTgew7KqcY
146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWcjIgNqlN5
「啊！我、我流淚了嗎？」146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmMEhwjSsfd
146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKbvmbS0TzQ
從抱著安提娜的姿勢恢復過來的艾瑪摸著自己的眼臉。146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMqiwnBbqZv
146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWG11Yo2I2E
「艾瑪妳怎麼回事？」146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6NQoQfzr5Q
146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu1rmiUFdNm
「哦哦哦……其實，我從小只要一聽故事就很容易帶入情緒，所以聽著妳的經歷我就不自覺……」146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJqfSKqsi1k
146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoUHV8Z7v1O
「沒想到妳也有如此感性的一面。老實說我真的很意外，這是我第一次看到這樣的妳。」146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5cUJlFzbHW
146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLQgTt7q5ND
「那平常的我在妳眼裡是如何呢？」146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTVi7bc5sba
146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNYgLOhRtXP
安提娜思考了一會。146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbD5Cy9qzL3
146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEHo8kYRRyP
「有些過動？」146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdRaivDzo5t
146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKlenU8uEFy
「確實也被這樣說過呢......」艾瑪哈哈笑著。「不過一時也改不起來，或許從小我就比較外向吧，可能也跟我出生在海邊有關。不過這麼說倒也不太準，像我妹妹就跟我完全不同，是個書呆子！」146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡae1AwLeRqO
146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcHf9IfM8OA
「原來妳有妹妹嗎？」146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnqomLIDNoR
146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgpFeRX6ONA
這是安提娜頭一次聽到的資訊。146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0zZL78lJmZ
146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvLbyHxZo4C
「有喔！她小我三歲。也許未來也有機會介紹給妳認識。啊不過......目前還不知道她的志向，不一定會成為冒險者的說，而且她有點宅。」146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3SyTnGjRKB
146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdKFQnRMaxO
艾瑪開始說起自己的事情，稍早的沈重氣氛在不知不覺間，舒緩了不少。146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6nmWlfJ7a1
146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy7HyczpVLn
「那關於克里斯，我記得他是妳鄰居吧？」146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwzNgdW7uVc
146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgRg8LvJRDu
「咦，妳竟然也關心起他了，難道......」146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0qH08MXwAs
146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV0Qx8aIzVM
看著眼前又在八卦的艾瑪，安提娜不禁嘆氣。146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7y253FbKZf
146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvbXeSsLpoC
「所以我有記錯嗎？」146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9eeVgpHpNs
146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWVAyGhvhsb
「他是我鄰居沒錯。不過他們家是前兩年才搬過來的。」146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSWFi640KJV
146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPRdozdsXIq
「嗯。但你們感情很好呢。」146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpNaYWE0D4c
146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPJaM7ovs7k
「那傢伙啊......其實剛來的時候很內向。以前似乎有受過霸凌什麼的。」146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm4UzicjiU3
146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxvisPSiVoQ
「當然啦，那種霸凌就是純粹的霸凌。」少女立馬又接著說，應該是想為自己的行為辯解，一邊搖起手來。146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFs3rb44g3p
146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN3qLgMQsva
安提娜有些震驚，也瞬間讓自己想起以前在魔族偶爾會遇到的狀況。不過好在有薩肯，自從與他們相遇後，這種狀況就減少了許多。146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMkp6zx8jbT
146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMbqMHkH8ia
「這些事情我也是後來才知道，當時他來的時候我都常常主動去拉他出來閒晃，久而久之就變得比較多話了噢。」146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTvAUNPGmiy
146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd2AOUrRU6y
安提娜聽聞，更加佩服起艾瑪。因為自己與她相遇後，也莫名其妙開始了之前不曾想過的事情。146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz1SbGSEPQH
146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4L2MoW2FC2
——比如擁有朋友。146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjMlbMOADTs
146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPkmZ1xZuWT
安提娜並不是排斥，而是從那日開始，就只剩下復仇與力量存在與腦海，壓根未曾想過來到維多利亞島後，會有跟人組隊的一天、也未曾想過會再跟他人訴說那無比沈痛的過往。146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ66KrO1Mgrp
146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKx16OUWJSw
「對了，還記得他以前是想要當劍士的。」146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkPi8eK27Qr
146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH5OAtsJXYN
「那後來怎麼會選擇法師？」146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡisYN1siVvc
146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnoWBSr96D6
「我也有相同的疑問。他之前明明都一直覺得劍士很帥氣，所以後來我也有追問他，但都給我敷衍的答案。」146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZDnzOlXbub
146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkTSO29bmHo
艾瑪擺了擺手說完，朝安提娜喵了一眼。146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUTk3ed6IsM
146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxfORbXklaW
「不然妳親自問他吧！搞不好他會敞開心房對妳說喔。」146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3ucucSTPb7
146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJwl2zOUj8a
「妳太抬舉我了。……話說回來，剛剛的艾瑪很溫柔呢。」146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdcXAPy3IFB
146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIJ3tAWmAVm
「溫柔嗎？我還真的從沒被這麼說過……」146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ18nRFgwXyp
146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8i8IIwJDVi
艾瑪難得展露出了一點羞澀，默默搔著自己的下巴。146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSOH0f3bzKn
146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7xxBpdzLg3
「因為妳很開朗，我都一直覺得妳不是一個容易感傷的人，結果沒想到妳也有與平常反差極大的一面。」146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlzpEPBb15x
146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdCPEANlAER
「所以說嘛！明明我就只是活潑一點罷了呀！」146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa6wQLtx0vJ
146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL1Rj4MhXor
艾瑪回覆原來的狀態後，自豪地說著。146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBEJ40eK8ae
146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7KpxCsJRs6
之後，艾瑪又繼續分享一些之前在維多利亞島的生活，以及跟安提娜介紹那個美麗海港的特色。146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB4cXMZcBQA
146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLy70g1AGlO
「其實啊這樣相比，我真的算是幸運了，至少出生在和善的人類社會，父母當然也對我很疼愛，只是……」146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsHHiYlFc1C
146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhIuCt2YN2o
「只是？」146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjExPoxSkiY
146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKhG6lGtGlk
「只是常常會因為一些小事情唸我罵我就是了，所以讓我很是討厭。反之我的妹妹因為年紀的關係加上她比較文靜，所以被罵的總是我！」146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoBMUdIcVQR
146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGu4LGLzstq
艾瑪發出哀號。安提娜聽她這麽一說則微微一笑。146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtnOrK84l1h
146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvvZHrFxa8c
「不過啊，我們的感情還是很不錯的……」146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtFyflTdYEq
146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ594cxWO0RZ
在一來一往的談話中，夜幕也終於從漆黑的一片轉為日球緩緩的抬升，開始照耀這個世界。146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiemy9wDGa3
146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy0sp5iYlbo
兩名少女經過了這一個夜晚，都對彼此有了更深的認識，漸漸成了無話不談的好友。146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxd8TTh0zDT
