在某個中世紀風格的村莊內，一對少年男女正在夜空下圍著營火烤綿花糖。551Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBvigwlDv0H
少年束著深啡色的短辮子，背上掛著一長一短的雙劍，腰間別了一支短弩，樣子就像是個經驗豐富的年輕冒險家。551Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrNY8gn3qWv
而少女約莫十七歲，紮了一雙及肩的淺棕雙馬尾，身穿畫著紅色十字的短袖白袍，一副端莊的牧師模樣。551Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6g5wkOADdR
551Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDQLICe7DPY
「抱歉啊，秋葉。」551Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuIhCBTH8Ge
少年突然的道歉打破了沉默。551Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGknfNmFA9S
叫作秋葉的牧師少女有點吃驚，抬起頭呆呆地望向少年。551Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6pvfjdwJjo
551Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2c6NFft9Wp
「怎麼了，西維爾？為什麼忽然道歉？」551Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyIvZWvepeM
秋葉抽出腰包裡的毛巾細致地為少年擦汗。551Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ47oV5jkImH
551Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl6YgPgwoPR
551Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgzJOnAvM0C
「明明再過三天就要成婚了，居然還要接下冒險任務……」551Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡad2jRRpJMw
原來是這樣。秋葉微微一笑，伸指戳向西維爾的額頭。551Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwb9H94x2Vf
551Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8VyBWBuw2C
「任務是我說要接的。不用內疚。」551Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRhCTHY47PC
秋葉把軀體靠了過去，伸手把少年抱入懷裡。551Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZcDcfU0IBu
起伏的胸口感觸讓少年有點害羞，他連忙縮開。551Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1uu9xsh67Q
551Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBzLnWb5ZBA
「未婚妻的擁抱不舒服嗎？為什麼跑開？」551Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ53M51nxNyn
「我……執行任務前要是太幸福的話，感覺會遲鈍的。」551Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0pMvlxGQpq
「本來你就遲鈍啊。要不然，應該更早之前就該知道我的心意。」551Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVpDx8IO0sl
551Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKMhiVa0yXv
551Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ09Re4wJRsT
551Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsZZ2wyaWHT
551Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ64TC6YFhdv
551Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9alnpNOOVC
兩人的故事從十二年前開始。551Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIvxyqBjHG9
秋葉是從遙遠東方遷徒至西方大陸的其中一個移民。她隨父母渡海時年方五歲。551Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOWIxFmGBUB
她的父母選擇了一處鄉村定居。透支了一輩子旅行的他們決定在此終老一生。551Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7hbQx63pgR
雖然是個有著異國風名字的外來移民，但長著一頭亮麗棕髮和遺傳了東方移民嫩白膚質的秋葉很受男孩歡迎。551Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWiVCokE2Ge
也因此，嗜吃甜食的秋葉時常從男生群中搶奪糖果，而大部分男生也會刻意退讓。551Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuiQg2bi7zI
除了一個叫西維爾的男生。551Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT0Nl2wgUai
他在秋葉奪過糖果時竭力掙扎，卻被秋葉動手打翻在地。551Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNJonHfGy2I
551Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe18avpldXT
551Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡljWY7VQ4fj
此後秋葉時常糾集朋黨聯手欺負他，因此，西維爾整整一個童年都沒有糖吃。551Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyP7i1lkeHO
551Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCSBCHqjSPz
只是到了後來，兩人年紀漸長，西維爾已經不再是體格矮小任人欺負的男生了。551Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvYKebtdF4a
不過少年仍然會習慣性的存下午餐僅有的甜點留給秋葉搶走。551Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv0wdTKybAG
等秋葉注意到他那不自覺的溫柔的時候，也許是出於感動，也許是出於歉疚，她緊緊的抱住了西維爾。551Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7IJz6yHmDd
不論如何，兩人沒有來由的初戀就由此而起。551Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeT77eWsBPQ
551Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF8yOd8FNAS
這片大陸並不和平。不知為何，每過幾年就會傳出墓地屍變的傳聞，來源不明的僵屍群和吸血蝙蝠在荒原迴盪。551Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbKnwxE0oHZ
幸而，兩人所在的村子附近並沒有它們的縱影。551Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRBs7ZbAFzQ
其他苦受僵屍徘徊之苦的村鎮不惜重金聘請冒險者驅逐死靈，而西維爾，也在其中之列。551Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP4wYyHkScF
為了他，秋葉向村中牧師拼命修練白魔法，希望能為西維爾燙貼身上的傷。551Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7zhP82SFXU
551Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlZjlf2gDoC
數年過去，兩人的團隊已經成了村中的驕傲，以僵屍殺手的名聲聞名四野。551Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ66mgt3sczk
西維爾以獨創的劍術，精心打造的弓弩和豐富的野外求生知識打響了名頭，而秋葉則以超越師父的治癒魔法跟針對死靈的驅魔術聞名。551Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvOsl5rZhfV
551Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxvm3MnG98d
551Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ66AGgdi6JQ
551Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyAHpuIOFiU
兩人在弱冠之年賺了一筆不少的錢，並決定在結婚後退隱。551Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3tUXz6OvVM
英姿勃發的西維爾和溫柔婉約的秋葉，兩人在村中是人人稱羨的情侶。551Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtHKEVTx54v
551Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJuz28XMBIN
在訂婚後數日，兩人所在的村子忽然發生僵屍襲擊。551Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAxiabnrpcS
這是前所未有的事。僵屍從未於這村子附近活動過，感到不安的秋葉為了家人接下了清除僵屍的任務。551Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzpBsTNHPRW
現在，兩人在營火下作最後休息。551Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡap4A9PIqaC
551Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAtCnOJLWV8
「還在想退隱的事？沒辦法啊，你也不想婚禮時有僵屍闖進來吧？」551Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgoivyjr6Aw
秋葉調侃著未婚夫。551Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFpAQcfDeZC
「唉，我只是覺得，為什麼在婚前才出現異常？」551Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUHIJVuifxK
「那就解決掉啊，為了我們的將來。」551Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOvNVKZOLeI
秋葉再一次把西維爾擁入懷裡，雪白的手臂包覆著少年的脖子。551Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs1ggNH8CKO
這次少年沒有推開，雙眼直盯盯的望著秋葉的胸口。551Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8jBC0xOCRY
551Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcLc6IJJT8f
「為什麼以前都不見妳那麼溫柔？」551Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEat3jTMaRH
551Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXlS2Q6fuhW
551Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzAYU5c2qhV
「大概是女生結婚前的真情流露。551Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSlRgPEH9XJ
安心啦，婚後我一樣會溫柔對你。」551Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv1Su0O9vTj
551Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfTyEwKbnHh
在秋葉的安撫下，西維爾在未婚妻的懷裡安穩地睡了一夜。551Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa7E0XQSwdj
551Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWtad9m0tBt
551Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCoLeWgmdhs
551Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQboS6UOPzJ
感覺到刺眼的陽光後，兩人同時甦醒。551Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfKU6XxFr35
純粹的死靈生物在陽光下難以活動。死靈魔法在陽光下難以維持效果，因此僵屍們會自行回歸山洞等待下一個夜晚。551Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAeM1sEK76t
西維爾決定尾隨屍群，查看僵屍的歸處是不是有死靈法師在操縱。551Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbTVgea5gqJ
551Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOmHymiXlYS
「九成的僵屍都朝同一處山洞進發。幾乎可以肯定背後有人從中作梗。」551Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEDb8R0wDYS
西維爾一邊迅速獵殺僵屍，一邊確認僵屍前進的位置。551Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtZbJKIIyX0
「要小心喔。既然僵屍很集中，那就代表洞裡的戰鬥會非常艱苦。」551Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUYbC9mDQOT
「對。所以要乘現在盡量減少僵屍的數量。」551Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEVjyjTaC0J
551Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb7zvfhW1kt
551Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDRJLFRDRFX
少年邊說著，邊以弩箭貫穿了一隻僵屍的腦袋。551Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1ZszTcYXgY
551Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZikEZwxq6C
兩人走到了僵屍集中的洞口。551Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVDATAQa2Ts
預計的僵屍數目有近五十隻。追殺的路程上擊斃十五隻，剩下來的大概不到四十隻了吧。551Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxUhbg88oYU
對兩人來說，只是時間問題。551Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPQv8iPpQop
不過為了保險起見，兩人還是在洞口設置防線，一來為了呼叫補給隊運送物資，二來為了防止掉隊的僵屍不會在他們進入洞內後前後夾擊。551Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNouE5QGlZb
551Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRdQepAcOgT
「對了秋葉。會不會後悔移民到西方？」551Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8i6NVEVNK1
西維爾在目送補給隊離開時，嘴上忽然冒出這麼一句話。551Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3SrHAvfWNq
551Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSaMn3Dpvx0
「你突然在說什麼……如果後悔，那我就回東方了喔？」551Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBfrOWFrkFx
秋葉不由得給了他一個爆栗。551Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd96ClznI5Q
551Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLRUrW5JokG
「我的意思是，東方大陸沒那麼多的變異生物吧？551Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgFfQvin80z
要不要在婚後，一起重回妳的家鄉定居？」551Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIZ4IRC7ICO
551Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFSWuOdctBJ
551Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeyCG8KDweb
「……你想得太美好了。要是家鄉美滿，我們又為什麼要走？551Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqSP9az6eyi
比如，有一家莫名其妙的暗殺者家族四處誘拐兒童什麼的。」551Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS3nVzP3yiH
「可是……妳想想，你們一家在這兒真的快樂嗎？」551Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm8hcaFMGow
551Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ919utgvcDD
秋葉沉默不語。551Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5s0LjLsRsC
父母是沒有生產力的移民，在村中備受冷眼。551Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsGMxOt7uVw
這也是秋葉積極參與任務的另一個理由。除了保護戀人，她也要保護家人。551Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ26TnhFlThS
要是沒有她，恐怕父母將毫無維生手段。551Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡigp9pDKCOu
551Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1ktrYbIoMU
「有你在，我就快樂。別想那麼多啦。」551Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWbYxOdskaE
「決定了。即使不回去居住，至少我也要跟妳去那邊旅行一次！551Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNjZllbNGyi
對吧？阿基……阿雞……」551Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHyOHPCHCAH
西維爾試圖用秋葉故鄉的語言念她的名字，卻怎麼也發不好音。551Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUSFXNvD9ZB
551Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi2RrytusQu
「……秋葉（Akiha）。用你們平時的稱呼就好。」551Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZHxNs6fc9q
秋葉笑著嘆了口氣。551Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWf43Mrc8sd
村人一直沒叫過秋葉的本名，而是為她取了個當地語言的暱稱。551Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaAPUSYpkHq
大概就是「紅葉」這樣的意思吧。551Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzdtoIZCtaB
551Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRG2FSFgpzt
「總之，約好了。551Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9XSNZNl5bj
在我們愉快的退休生活中，其中一環就是四處旅行。」551Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuY2sM7Jvqw
「……那又何必退休。退治任務一樣能四處走啊。」551Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPQKEY4hOD6
「那不同！背著一身裝備跟旅行一點關係都沒！」551Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ87XvriqP6A
「知道啦知道啦。約好了就行了吧？」551Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡggobT1Ffc7
秋葉邊敷衍邊推揉著西維爾。551Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡidLxegg0bL
551Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmSB3reDe8J
單純得數十年如一日的少年，是她最好的禮物。551Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH2jcF3U7H2
拋棄家鄉的迷茫和悲傷都已消散。已經不再在夢中看見故鄉的風景了。551Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMqVAJxqFCI
551Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8pFyqXyCY8
這是最後了。551Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUq3gQRqEnR
也許這僵屍事件只是意外。551Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡysRDXajzLV
解決了之後，世界就會重拾安寧吧。551Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeOvtAjg35o
每一片角落都有寧靜的風景，不必回到故鄉去找。551Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLOQxyuQwn0
有你所在，無處不是家。551Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOmbmt8ybFb
551Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFbBazI3Msf
551Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡENLLW65wFg
551Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnrEeKtDkJU
551Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVjgnc5Ph7U
551Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7ezTRtS1B9
551Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7PHghpRX3K
551Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtU0DFxsNKW
「秋葉，緊閉鐵門！」551Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzPMAAVbkYC
在接連不斷的僵屍圍攻下，兩人勉強尋到了喘息機會。551Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEqV9787YzJ
少女在戀人進門之後，用力推上了鐵門。551Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8EiZ2afG3I
551Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLnOaRKn1Uu
僵屍的數量遠遠超過了五十隻。551Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgTkph3VKZA
而且明顯有幕後操控者。僵屍的行動並不是毫無戰術，而是等兩人大意進洞後，大群遊蕩的僵屍才尾隨進洞展開夾擊。551Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFLeYj5Mof4
551Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbKKjLkSaCF
在不斷糾纏之下，兩人已迷失了離開的方向。551Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBR4whLS5uD
即使如此，秋葉和西維爾仍然保持冷靜。551Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡse5G3ORJJ7
畢竟這不是他們第一次身陷險境。551Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf2tHKBIWy4
551Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUbWbAx7Aoy
「雖說我們被算計了，但遠不到絕望的時候。」551Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIBWcaMZvdR
「對。幕後黑手就在眼前，只要解決他，僵屍就不再有人指揮。」551Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFL7g92vvZC
551Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOuF8Hyf5ux
兩人深知突圍也沒用。551Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7v8gQBJHwX
僵屍全堵在洞口，在那邊貿然消耗只會被黑手可乘之機。551Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPIGg0OnV4j
倒不如強行深入，在被打倒之前擊斃首腦。551Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2ZSY6MMyji
551Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkdnx5091sn
成功潛入洞穴最深處。551Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl7HNxFmWEO
裡面燃著火把，也有基本的生活用具。551Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNANC2VI8q0
一個人類背對著兩人，正向著牆壁施法。551Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFrTYcmhJE2
551Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF6LryQAjqV
大概是召喚用的傳送門之類，一隻隻僵屍從傳送門中步出。551Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDo4dwy9Oqv
西維爾不發一言，無聲的抬起短弩。551Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdyUQ3X2ftD
咻的一聲，一根弩箭從面門刺入，貫穿了那名法師的頭顱。551Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC0MvEOfYGg
551Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo2D5OxwFJP
結束了。551Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvk3OTPT0mT
這是連僵屍都能殺死的致命傷。551Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdA0JFQQxMz
551Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy1W2O3cLnG
秋葉慢慢地接近了傳送門試圖關閉它，西維爾則確認了屍體。551Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXOtTlxw07V
「這……這傢伙……」551Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVuKiRKi8mW
「是任務委託者？！」551Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMJnzMahnV4
551Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXyT4dliYJo
男屍的面貌正是當初給他們任務的人。551Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXR1gXvWVZb
他難道處心積慮想要引兩人過來？551Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNbobV39pO0
不過他已徹底死去，真相大概會被埋藏起來吧。551Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4kNHDl2T1c
551Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC4KRjMhEXu
門外突然傳來嘈雜的響聲。551Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcaVnW9hBwP
「僵屍回到這兒來了？！為什麼，不是都解決了操控者了嗎！」551Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwRApxwjvl7
秋葉感到事情正向最壞的方向發展。551Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbMQweMtrt5
「秋葉，專心解除傳送門！門口我來擋住！」551Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡubmm1Ai6QU
西維爾拔出雙劍，像是牆壁似的擋在了門前。551Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyIQOcbcKTV
551Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpyqUvtElIp
少年前所未有的快劍掃除著大量僵屍。551Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJGb1wypdw9
雙劍的起落可謂風雨不透，多少僵屍同時沖擊都沒能突破。551Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrF51FS6Mnp
但如此消耗體力的劍舞又能支撐多久？551Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7DJCCrxUj8
551Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlmm1SP9H7n
只能寄望在秋葉解除魔法之後，能夠剩下一點餘力試圖突圍。551Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhMKxiLEH7S
551Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9JEqyNge49
「呀！西維爾小心！」551Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrwfM4yG54w
「？！」551Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwowsSXueSH
551Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVNSjVPYq0U
從傳送門後湧出了巨大魔力。551Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7IAc032dw2
秋葉及時閃避，西維爾聽到警告也急忙移開腳步。551Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVx5dLq64JL
可是，大門被巨大的魔力擊中，開始倒塌。551Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWukixC20bi
連忙翻滾閃避的西維爾，右腳被僵屍揮下的斧頭劈中。551Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9tSq2dRrBw
551Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4Uf2ma4Q2Z
同時，沒有秋葉干擾的傳送門裡撲出了一隻僵屍。551Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCxfUwKY4dO
它直直衝向倒地的西維爾。551Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMOgBUg2AgD
551Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡndgshfJQ5A
「休想！」551Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW94jJ7BIoG
秋葉雙手凝聚了全身的魔力。551Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqZqMCtWsks
少女以全身的力道撞向僵屍，同時左手按住了僵屍的頭顱，以白魔法一擊破壞了它的腦袋。551Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXaqkBkMrSL
但秋葉絲毫不停，直直向傳送門突進。551Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnSR8pVV6cI
551Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSJ8DzDf9At
傳送門就差一口氣就能關閉。551Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDiyfnt18s8
無數僵屍正要在傳送門裡湧出。551Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0kBaS4yV3s
秋葉感到自己從未如此勇敢。551Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx6gpYgCtRB
551Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaWVe4zYjQo
「要活下去啊！約好了！」551Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVuAA8UrM5P
「秋葉－－－－！」551Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsm5lTnEG6x
551Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsraoKRE3vH
少女雙手同時按在傳送門上。551Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPhX8Fwzmey
強烈的白光閃動。551Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡalrglTbyql
551Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRJ7nwDAPBr
在西維爾視力回復後，秋葉和傳送門皆已不見縱影。551Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ43p1dEemzb

551Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsPFc3bO5fU
551Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVjRUXGUORH
重新睜開眼睛的秋葉，只看到一處密室。551Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡddFneqjNQu
裡面並沒有僵屍，只有一個穿著黑袍的人。551Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSVKsExfcPM
蒼老得快要死去的人。只能坐在王座上，連站起來也沒有力氣的老人。551Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiW7OOX1Ifg
551Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsHtuLjNCii
「初次見面，秋葉。」551Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmI8dzqjk9V
辨不出是男是女的聲線。551Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiLfR3e2MrC
「你是誰？我認識你嗎？西維爾呢？」551Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf8482t4GcU
551Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHEDNMdLaR7
老人臉上浮現了惡毒的笑容。551Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGFxrd4H8Dq
「他沒死。真頑強啊，居然在單腳受傷後還能一人衝破重圍。」551Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr8FaWQZ0mE
「看來你才是幕後操縱者？」551Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrbLAdyBAeh
551Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmgXPqO4ssJ
「對。你們的委託人早就是我的吸血奴僕，是我吩咐他把你們引來的。」551Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHW0XfTbscG
「……為什麼？」551Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrkHZLwuyo4
「小姐，知道吸血鬼嗎？」551Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjcvwRmPHyM
551Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVlg0loGbgK
秋葉雖然沒看過實物，但還是從白魔法書籍裡看過。551Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡavKC1bCaS5
擁有千年以上的壽命，需要吸血來維持自身，是人類畏懼的存在。551Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGHPxyWaYc4
551Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6TDOXqC80T
「知道那又如何？」551Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKjxOfrAIR7
「又到了一千年了。我需要下一個身體。」551Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbMp5uIiUh2
551Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9er5DMq7w2
秋葉臉色不變，拔出袖底的小刀指向自己的胸口。551Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ811Eodb5vv
「我很忙，謝謝再聯絡。」551Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtPhKvUGVXQ

「我知道你們快要成婚了，才故意把你們引來。」551Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrhduMagXK5
551Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkzn0f7ZB7z
秋葉微微咋舌。551Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4kbYYg53Ng
這傢伙有意針對自己，連情報都搜集得那麼細。551Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡorvxtmAhuJ
551Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNpEFuphYYP
「不賭一下嗎？自殺了就什麼都沒有了。551Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxuM4nMuGfw
要是與我融合，也許妳還能跟我爭奪一下身體的控制權呢？」551Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPvmF14yIux
「姑且聽聽好了。我該怎麼做？」551Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV7rlyd5IOM
「用妳擅長的白魔法，把這具軀體毀掉。我的靈魂就能脫離身體。」551Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOovELPymWe
551Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJrQ7B92uxz
吸血鬼用乾涸的聲音嘿嘿笑著。551Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡErC84DZFpX
秋葉卻一點都沒有驚慌。551Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIBoDjANDad
551Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPk2pRmOXZz
「你連自殺的力量都沒有了？」551Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxAADUGR6b8
她冷眼看著吸血鬼，彷彿她才是佔優的一方。551Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt3Lhz7ELsq
「……551Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy4PiXFTzFL
如妳所見。」551Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTv9BNUz8Hv
吸血鬼不太情願地承認了這一點。551Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzbCkOFhWfu
551Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgKRSCA98J6
「那為什麼我要聽你的？」551Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2bwqvEKqk6
「不然妳就餓死，然後我繼續發動僵屍找妳的未婚夫代替。551Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl2vDEdiUh6
慢慢考慮。千年我都能等，不差這一點點時間。」551Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXth5GM6A6D
551Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZPuqxVuSD1
雙方陷入了短暫沉默。551Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0NTdsld89U
551Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuRHiIyTfPE
「能問一下嗎？針對我們的理由……還有，即使那麼痛苦，仍然要活下去的理由。」551Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ75VyHIJDzc
「什麼痛苦？！我現在不知道有多愉快！」551Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHYSKUmORdE
551Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhWN6RMjPmz
秋葉張望了一下四周的環境。551Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdDSjRmeSDp
她不覺得這兒是世界的一部分。551Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡefBKUJNA0c
她只覺得處於世界盡頭的虛空，雖說沒有痛苦骯髒的感覺，但也沒有希望。551Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPr2d1ZG2R8
551Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnEkJr4RYzC
「在這兒待一千年究竟是有什麼愉快？」551Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUmMICLZ3d4
「比如，可以破壞別人的幸福，可以親眼看著可悲的妳永遠也看不見戀人的模樣！」551Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFwTJEyXwdD
551Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiMPrlc8eKl
秋葉的心像被狠狠鎚打了一下。551Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5AbR269IXm
「……為什麼你愛看這些？」551Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQtJ02tCaNf
「我恨人類。我恨這個世界。我什麼都怨恨。551Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqCn2bBNsJc
只有看著你們絕望的樣子，我才感到樂趣。」551Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1L03T7DxuL
551Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4tUYym1h4e
秋葉嘆了口氣。551Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ088rFrqDtC
小屁孩活幾千年，也只活成了老屁孩。551Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgD8LQqToHL
551Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3KheaVtCuX
「再姑且問問。你換過多少次身體？」551Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhmEy2mWC4D
「……問這個幹什麼？大概三次吧。」551Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjebNsc4hW8
「一千年一次？都沒有離開過？」551Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo6SzZWn4Uz
「對。又關妳什麼事？」551Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡinndpqwcRN
551Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVh4NTBSsgR
「我感覺你比較可悲。」551Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7Vy1fLwMa2
秋葉不禁露出一副看著智障的眼神。551Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwZFhJT4vkJ
「可……可悲什麼？」551Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0eM5qyMyDz
551Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRgWHhppV10
「即使是吸血鬼，靈魂也有存續的限制。551Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpMs9I3pNQp
換了身體也不能挽救你靈魂的衰老。就算我跟你合作，你依然沒有哪怕站起來的力量。551Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5zWkue3w7Y
你連愛都沒有能力。」551Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfwaCQyJg2H
「難道妳就有了嗎？！妳還不是要一生待在這兒？！」551Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY9dfchS5Z4
吸血鬼大聲怒吼。551Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEVT9a74KCl
551Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9r352s05Ng
「曾經有過。不，現在我依然有愛的人。」551Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl416VHyb7H
551Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjMoEFDtTwQ
吸血鬼的嘶吼逐漸啞了，秋葉聽見了他無聲的啜泣。551Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIW2G0nC8Pc
也許他也有過吧。只是三千年後，他也只剩下了無言的記憶。551Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡESdQftgqh0
551Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9t4pscsJR5
「……妳說對了，但也別得意。」551Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS2nTyeotf2
「我沒有得意什麼。」551Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZzbmdCpA8D
「妳靈魂的同調率跟我很高。這也是我選擇妳的理由之一。551Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA5VRGlTyZe
妳也有變成跟我一樣的潛質。妳自己想想，要是碰上了嫉妒，怨恨，孤獨這些感情，妳會不會跟我一樣？」551Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyehCPMktnh
「……」551Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPetKoRawEU
551Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpIg69Gz4rs
這下到秋葉無言了。551Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3KhLIEP8mG
551Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFNa0ST2sui
「我不否認。」551Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0NPrAZKsij
「妳的陰暗面也許自己還沒發覺。雖然妳是人，但已經隱約有惡魔的雛型。」551Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX0Pp8Z5ToL
「人能成為惡魔，也能成為天使。551Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV9bXlzTR65
不……即使是惡魔，也能選擇成為人類或者天使。551Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuYOQuDEMaL
你也是。」551Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4OIOCEOXhM
551Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡafUk1XC2WS
吸血鬼還沒質問這句話的意思，就被秋葉的白魔法化為了灰燼。551Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFVNlAbUxgf

551Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbVJak9NdPO
551Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1eazkp2T02
在長年的夢中，秋葉看見了無名吸血鬼的夢境。551Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWaEfV5c9mT
大半是在虛空中渡過。可是，在原初的夢裡，也許還是有過幸福的事。551Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa9RQuKPIIF
他也有拼命守護過的事物。有過善良的本性。551Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPeL1W6GVw7
即使是現在，他也沒有完全否定過自己的善良，而是把自己當成受害者。551Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSZXHN5dBtg
因此想要報復。但沒有真正仇恨的對象，每次報復都只是對空氣揮空拳。551Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiUhjLRKUkh
551Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpKsHcnfWYO
吸血鬼一開始成功掌控了秋葉的身體。只是，他沒能像以往一樣，把原主人的靈魂消滅。551Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsOwfl3sM6C
因為，這次他也看見了秋葉的夢。551Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW4aHX5FyaY
秋葉夢裡的西維爾，看起來就像三千年前的他。551Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPlO9fKhhz3
他終於發現，死撐著活到今天的理由，就是為了記住自己曾經的溫暖。551Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ42lTdHda7x
551Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0SRckOXFqg
他居然開始擔心秋葉會否無聊，而把自己的死靈魔法知識傳給了她。551Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZdIXN4nhBJ
包括自己種族的歷史在內。551Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB977JnTJ01
也許已經無法挽回所犯下的錯。只是，秋葉只以微笑回應自己的道歉。551Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHRPFiiSgYJ
551Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGi2LBNbhAg
秋葉在多年間苦苦周旋於死靈化的自己和千年吸血鬼的意識。551Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3Ih6i0vjxT
從相互抵觸，憎恨直到近年間的互相學習和忍耐，秋葉感覺意識的融合開始沒那麼痛苦。551Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTy0gZ1VPqW
直到吸血鬼的聲音再也不在腦裡出現後，秋葉相信他已在千年孤寂中獲得安寧。551Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBam7JR2K1m
最後的一段話是，感謝她在自己人生的終點，讓他回想起人與人之間的溫柔。551Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI6DKA65Uyy

551Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrlziAQwz8O
多年間，秋葉第一次重新睜眼。551Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNRbE08j1Td
毫無疑問這身體已經死靈化。呼吸和進食都已經不是必需的事。551Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8mHgVJoTI4
身體沒有不適的感覺。也許無名的吸血鬼一直在活動這身體吧。551Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlUribCcv5v
只是感覺到他已經不在了。551Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfxHgcA0E4a
551Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQv8ywUz47h
作為最後的禮物和道歉，吸血鬼即使耗盡靈魂，也把她送回了最初的那片山洞。551Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiccYlTveNt
他花了很多時間。強行撐起朽壞的靈魂，架設起回到現界的通道。551Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuoltzEFH3I
也許靈魂已經老去，但只要能喚起真誠的心，仍能召來奇跡。551Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb7obxOWeJP
551Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy6sE5Ngevv
那座倒塌的大門還是這樣沒變。地上是西維爾拋下的，已經生鏽的弓弩。551Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡex76NowLLb
551Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzfg8WxpdBh
「……謝謝。你做得很好。551Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNSVRZTDOiA
如果有靈魂的世界，我會再向你道謝。」551Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZQs0AF8xJz
551Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkSGzIJKc3x
秋葉一抬手，強大的魔力把崩壞的大門打得粉碎。551Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu40763iGYm
551Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEBOLIPq2qN
彷彿像以往厭惡的死靈般從洞裡爬出。551Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvWLTfOlyDN
算是起死回生嗎？不，自己根本不算還活著了。551Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYLZIyM8joz
從生到死走了一回，除了容顏未改，靈魂已完全跟死靈同化。551Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOmN70c3LWw
551Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3xZ1FrIgvq
洞口設置了大量路障和符咒，但這絲毫擋不住秋葉。551Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4f0bPKBusi
曾幾何時，明媚的日光竟照得眼睛刺痛。551Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUpeCq4Ylcp
是吸血鬼化的原因，還是單純是多年沒照過太陽？551Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡif5ZYwtDAR
但即使皮膚灼痛，仍能感受到生命的芬芳。551Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8nG9blJCJ5
551Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ46fhBrKt5k
循著久遠的記憶回到村裡。果然，已沒有人再認得自己。551Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡun6olMRPgV
父母的舊居住著不認識的外人。打了聲招呼後得知，父母已是前幾代的住客。551Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ40vOY1aF0u
－－詢問下得知，距離最後的任務已經過了二十年。551Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdMfteoGMfD
551Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaA8zJ6ZqZ4
是好是壞？551Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq1cJnpWown
雖然是及時回來了，但為什麼不只過幾天就好？551Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIEOPgmdVEj
那麼，她還能趕上婚禮時回來。551Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpQuIFQpdWq
551Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGUJJoLRZLB
551Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlJGs0KZyP6
551Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWhtJ8uEpFi
黃昏下各處家庭已亮著燈光。551Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxDFcS8CJkN
西維爾家門牌卻仍掛著他的名字。內心中不知是喜悅還是惆悵，秋葉輕敲了數次家門。551Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsOrB7hZqRQ
好香的飯菜味道啊，好多年沒有聞過了。551Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtDkn11U0VW
551Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡANECZbScFt
大門敞開。551Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBkhs0EX7ix
不認識的孩子叫著大姊姊。551Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm5YeEowBX0
551Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRctW0Q0JZw
秋葉顫抖著問道，這家裡有沒有叫西維爾的人。551Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1JqslVzpVw
孩子轉身喚了聲爸爸。551Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0tPC0iGI9H
比起失落，秋葉反而感到心上人無事生還的安心感。551Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs3CKINdCum
551Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡShSvYtppWi
約定，沒有被打破。551Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtYrnQt3ajS
551Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOWMaKqCX2R
「請問有什麼⋯⋯」551Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtB7cyYeLcr
一名青壯年男子走了出來。551Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK7F1f2xYzK
看見秋葉，他連呼吸都停了半刻。551Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwueV88C3aI
記憶深處的女子，彷彿從夢裡走了出來。551Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxlBY7E2XS4
551Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdvGfoEInic
「我很擔心你。幸好，被僵屍斬傷的腳沒大礙。」551Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvUvZ8qMrvl
秋葉溫柔地笑著，就像當年把未婚夫抱在懷中的笑容。551Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcX1lpgXBck
但再也沒法為他燙貼了。死靈的軀殼再使用白魔法的話將會崩壞。551Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwSHzUwmU0d
551Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfw49iS0zjr
而且，他腳上有別人為他治療的痕跡。551Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhh8XTzBrX3
雖然不是魔法，但可以看出，同樣是溫柔女性的細心呵護。551Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRzQseA0a3h
奇怪的是，完全沒有嫉妒。只覺得慶幸，這些年沒有自己的日子他並不孤單。551Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV3v3QTt8PD
551Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQL2ndoWmIs
「妳……沒有死？」551Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXByF3RKFN9
「怎麼說呢，也許我還有留戀吧。」551Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8ntYMnfMOb
551Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkjfqZ49KKu
其實已經沒有了。551Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTCDLhyRgYN
他已經過得很好。551Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGz4XKCzhpo
551Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeFO9ze3hCn
西維爾突然緊緊抱住了秋葉。551Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRuQkUktiXZ
但就像當年推開未婚妻般，秋葉輕輕掙開了他。551Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgUURI1CKdR
551Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTUXW21fPwl
「你知道我爸媽怎麼了嗎？」551Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ61hEZ1W92g
西維爾馬上低下了頭。551Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjo5EEGekVB
在反覆追問下，秋葉得知母親在自己失縱的一天驚嚇過度去世，父親則於數年後孤獨地在家中嚥氣，直到西維爾例行前去探望時才發現了腐爛的屍身。551Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoRHj1qyiy0
551Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEtW0EO1vGj
即使早已料到，秋葉仍不禁流下了淚。551Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFjDsw76Bpv
西維爾向妻兒報備後，兩人前往秋葉父母墓前參拜。551Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpzmVZvB6Jr
551Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqz3Cu4NpMS
「爸爸有沒有抓住你的手，要你把女兒還回來？」551Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMFIrZJpeVN
「什麼？沒……沒有……」551Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDnZvVxvkqB
西維爾慌張地辯駁。551Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXf1aXpG80q
551Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJQtUqYzyF4
「至少我比你了解他。沒關係，這絕對不是你的錯。」551Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBYQ1dgfYI7
「……秋葉。跟我一起走吧。無論過了多久，妳變成了什麼，我都一樣愛妳。」551Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoQDTE6QD0N
參拜過後，西維爾在回程途中握住了秋葉的手。551Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWZkEAwrW3W
少女的愁容上出現了一絲笑顏。551Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3ULXdDdQMd
551Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiSZpB18vzV
「人到中年還是個笨蛋。」551Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPp9Z6qeZ1O
秋葉知道，西維爾不會虧待自己。551Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxBTNYVpHiF
所以－－自己才不能輕易破壞他已有的美好家庭。551Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdl8PbZMVt5
551Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9uARMfeIAo
「秋葉！我依然愛妳－－」551Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs3V009NYXm
「回家吧。你妻子在等你吃飯。」551Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQE5qEn6LoW
551Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcQbzU7DcB1
秋葉溫柔的抱著西維爾。551Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZMWGeR327o
551Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZILk4to6HS
未婚妻受了致命傷，繼而在礦坑掉入封印，誰都會認為她已不再生還。551Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSDLHj1bjJT
那麼，續弦也算不上花心。要是他苦忍二十年不娶，秋葉反而會更傷心。551Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO077UkrqJ6
551Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWsQhWJLMnJ
551Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpCvjrW8f9C
551Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMituenIAay
551Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwoh1vYV5ZK
551Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdjPszPsi9z
「很香的飯菜。你娶到了好妻子啊。」551Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcpFn7L1vcu
這頓飯美味得能緩解心中的悲傷。551Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIEW8SSKN2o
比起缺席二十年的自己，秋葉知道剛才忍心拒絕他是對的。551Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdpEeY1nrVz
551Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzb2alGtYZk
「老公，這女孩親近得感覺就像跟我們家認識了很多年呢。她是誰家孩子？」551Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9MwJuvKVqQ
「朋⋯⋯朋友的孩子。」551Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6Q3ipfYmOM
雖然是自己教他這樣說的，但西維爾口中這樣形容自己還是令秋葉百感交集。551Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNd7vrp5hQa
551Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxvP4DGkdeY
飯桌上，西維爾仍然習慣性地留下了一小份甜點。551Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyoYVtcCPPb
可是現在會把它搶走的，變成了他的孩子。551Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡszV1ziTkXa
551Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJNhzKVwCat
家中掛著當年的雙劍。其中長劍已經折斷只剩一半，短劍也早已生鏽。551Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaFRYumoa9L
他這些年真的退休了吧？551Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGWAGlbAo8s
西維爾如今走路也一拐一拐的，似乎當時受了永久性的傷。551Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe2vCR1dmGK
551Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqyBIivP0BM
是該與過去永遠訣別了。551Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc2szML5Njf
551Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp0Lmf6QcLn
551Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTrkhSTyLXW
551Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAV1ZwxYdBk
「了解現實了沒？」551Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRJtuYHSm1Y
飯後，秋葉像是教導孩子似的，對一把胡子的西維爾說教。551Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡggMVCOCznn
「了⋯⋯了解。」551Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1mctZJjO65
真沒辦法呢。秋葉拿出毛巾擦了擦西維爾臉上的淚水。551Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNo2pB1yI9J
551Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0J7pnJrWV1
「你妻子很賢淑，孩子很可愛。你已經有世上最好的家庭，即使我不在其中，也不值得遺憾。」551Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOqPa3rn3FP
「可是⋯⋯」551Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrjWOP1vdc6
「還可是什麼？剛才說得還不夠清楚？」551Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQXwDYcTO64
551Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ48U1KdClwR
西維爾像是在猶豫該不該說。551Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9MEus3BCNV
終於，他鼓起勇氣大聲疾呼。551Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb33tqVp7nu
551Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDLJfbFPOGA
「可是妳呢？！無論怎麼說，我都說過會照顧妳一生一世！難道我就能讓妳孤身一人？！」551Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOLEAolI7rV
秋葉到此終於忍不住為他流下淚水。551Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBzrcxDKz5l
對。秋葉完全沒法不介意。551Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsSaKURosfC
自己苦等二十年，最終仍是這樣的結局。551Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡax4Cb0zrq7
551Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRwW6tpxefk
「⋯⋯那你有想過，我留在你家就會不孤獨嗎？551Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7TXJxo00jC
我天天看著一個已經無法再回去的家庭，就會幸福嗎？」551Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9CYjIf7woj
551Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1rWUxdRyzE
秋葉也許能融入吸血鬼的靈魂，但肯定再也無法融合西維爾的家庭了。551Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs1p2Ov181s
吸血鬼缺乏人與人真誠的愛，但西維爾一家不缺。551Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpwhNZjlGhR
秋葉知道，自己什麼都不能帶給他們。551Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfMAfyJCUmq
551Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ77JxI3JxFY
兩人相對無言。551Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKPi42Lljkr
「⋯⋯以後，還能再見？」551Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEOP5VibnJ3
西維爾感到告別將至，低聲問道。551Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLKLenYsSHs
「等我能夠釋懷之後，會再回來。」551Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbqaVADpjLP
秋葉望著遠方的星星說道。551Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdSbfA2i7Ro
551Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU8cO93618I
「你也是。不用抱著歉疚感。總有一天我也能⋯⋯擁有能夠安心的地方。」551Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa6v7H3SFDD
秋葉沒再等西維爾回話，化作了蝙蝠飛向遠方。551Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3UBBo6CbWT
