這簡直太荒謬了，以為罪證確鑿卻是一場空。先不說竟然不小心與比自己厲害許多的人做對，真的槓上了不知道會有什麼下場，這就算了，現在看起來只像是自己在無理取鬧罷了。395Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwheXpN2abZ
395Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5pR396yjI2
二郎鬆開手，任湯花帶著驕傲氣焰將紅色徽章塞回口袋。395Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFA5knqqtRD
395Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaIMbTl7BYh
「妳……」他仍舊無法理解，「都高級了還偷我們的東西？」395Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFHpgolq6Yx
395Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ1zfn8LCRi
「天啊，都這樣了你還認為東西不見是我偷的嗎？」湯花的浮誇程度明顯是在責怪對方了，她扶著額頭，隨後無力垂下手，切換成警告意味濃厚的低沉嗓音，「我告訴你們，我們做生意的最講求誠信，敢隨便栽贓人試試看。」395Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMl79FH9UKw
395Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmYc5qILeNF
都講到這個份上了——而且湯花的氛圍轉變也頗讓人害怕，完美詮釋了何謂翻臉比翻書還快——哈吉爾不安地靠近二郎耳邊輕問，「你確定真的不是自己弄丟嗎？」395Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwp509ucMcM
395Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUtSnQEkDVT
「什麼？哈吉爾你這傢伙真的是遇到女人就弱掉了啊！」二郎不敢相信連同伴都開始懷疑自己，小聲咕噥回道：「……我沒有證據，但肯定是她沒錯。」395Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT1D1vUKhj2
395Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoNSOZkoeeL
你要不要聽一下自己在說什麼？這樣我要怎麼幫你啊？哈吉爾愣了半晌後開口，「那麼……我覺得東西應該還在她身上。如果是我的話，我肯定會藏在——」395Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ665GMLE9QD
395Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDNgl8EEvDd
「幹嘛？你們兩個大男人難不成要搜我的身嗎？」395Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVf2WoOFOMw
395Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJgv5KsdvA3
別的先不說，湯花就屬聽力特別好了。她雙手大剌剌敞開，「來啊，摸啊！要搜就搜徹底一點，摸啊！」395Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnMhPByOq6J
395Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0CggyDDhdE
她咄咄逼人的語氣就像後頭的汽車喇叭，逼人不自覺催緊油門。395Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvqQauy20Mn
395Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnCOoWxMcjn
哈吉爾明明完全沒有那個意思，卻被湯花的口氣嚇得抬手，彷彿要往前伸，又被自己理智給拉回。他只好朝二郎求救，可是後者只顧瞪著湯花，根本沒注意到哈吉爾無助的眼神。395Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjBiPG9s8La
395Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOk3IvsaTEg
應該沒關係，不要碰到身體，只檢查那個的話應該沒關係吧？395Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK0KWdSsyJ4
395Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIJGUEXvUjX
在內心天使與惡魔的激烈拉扯後哈吉爾開始伸手，魔法師的魔爪正緩緩靠近湯花傲人的胸脯——395Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2yuFFL1jjJ
395Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUJVqpKgG1u
二郎及時握住哈吉爾手腕。395Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6mcGUibuCC
395Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYc5zi2doCc
沿著藍色武士服袖口向上望去，他正對著湯花露出得逞的賊笑：「妳自己說的哦，我們會徹·底·檢·查·一·遍。」395Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXwWLGQGonL
395Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXHf1yU494V
「二郎，你……」哈吉爾難以置信。395Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡei8UlGOl17
395Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5RsEUnMb5F
當然，身為當事人的湯花也是震驚，她就是仗著對方會被自己氣勢嚇得退縮才如此大膽，完全沒料到二郎竟然……395Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEA6DhHeFqu
395Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqd84b6tmhH
「呵，變態。」她冷哼。395Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqbbNHJu2Cf
395Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVfmokRm62X
「妳在想什麼啊？我有說是我要搜嗎？」395Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGr6hkqVgnJ
395Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7HijRpWzPT
蛤？湯花一臉懵逼，仔細一瞧才發現二郎的目光其實不在自己身上，而是她身後的紅色布簾。395Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0t2dQRHYKl
395Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJYFg4M4vhT
「在和梨出來以前妳可別想跑。」
395Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGcs8TuskZT
395Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDjczSDEBsu
等待和梨的這段期間哈吉爾已經幫二郎的手治療得差不多了。395Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡptcajpFtp3
395Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGIv0CQwMfW
以防湯花把偷來的東西藏匿在別的地方，他們也把整個肉眼可見之處全都搜刮了一遍，翻箱倒櫃到都快誤認自己才是強盜了，卻是一無所獲。395Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrZYuX1zg5g
395Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkKV2vwnAjY
時間流逝地緩慢。395Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa9eK9jfX7a
395Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkZvdpjuEEe
斑駁白牆上的掛鐘滴答作響，比起音響傳出的輕音樂，已經無事可做坐在大廳休息的他們更在意秒針移動的速度。395Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcQVT1oiVWr
395Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ57Q8KeKgMF
「和梨是不是泡得有點久啊？」哈吉爾有些擔心。395Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUmDr0z4ICN
395Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbq8xjHJAhR
「她不是說第一次泡溫泉嗎？應該是玩瘋了吧。」395Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYnPcpNoIAw
395Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiY5KTTvySo
掐指一算可足足過了一個小時，普通游泳就算了，40度的溫度不適合泡那麼久，和梨又是一個人待在裡面，要是滑倒撞到頭了怎麼辦？395Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmkXnRP0WQF
395Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUb0vhQy7Eb
哈吉爾差點就自告奮勇說要進去檢查狀況了，突然發現好像不太適合，欲言又止。395Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdgZTUAeyVR
395Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhSY9mHcPC8
「既然擔心的話那就讓我去看看吧。」抓到機會的湯花開心極了。395Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDONC0tCZ0X
395Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSuYbhDyDYE
雖然能理解哈吉爾的心情，但二郎覺得又不是消失個半天一天，也許泡著泡著太舒服就睡著了也說不定啊？而且這很像和梨會做的事。395Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0G7LwywDhF
395Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzdg1x2tFhs
看那賊笑肯定是想趁機開溜或藏東西吧？二郎才不會上當。395Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0qCHfVGfEc
395Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrbacSLET1A
「不行！別以為我不知道妳想幹嘛。」395Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4bymUeyZYm
395Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQVvmRu7xK4
「因為你把我關在這的關係，這段時間我都沒辦法進去巡視泡湯區，要是溫度不小心上升到人體無法負荷的程度，你朋友可能就……」湯花故意舉起拇指在脖子前做一個割喉的動作，「溫水煮青蛙囉。」395Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEJ0R9BcYkL
395Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGpALu6jX7e
看一旁哈吉爾都快衝出去了，二郎暗自吐槽他不夠了解和梨，那傢伙就算變成青蛙肯定也是那種跳來跳去最煩的青蛙。395Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe8w4sjcAsH
395Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUqvjCvEeVt
「唉……」但為了隊友他只好妥協，「妳去看看吧。」395Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt1tgrrOZxJ
395Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡePb1cCkFsq
看見湯花隨即露出孩子般的興奮表情，二郎立刻補槍，「但是！妳進去必須大喊和梨的名字。」這樣和梨就能聽聲音立即監視湯花的一舉一動，避免她把贓物偷藏起來。395Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiRO6hLyPQq
395Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUUSzArcBbX
「然後哈吉爾，我們要跟著進到女更衣室的湯區門口前。」395Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ31OaWlhCka
395Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUQuGjAIO8l
「認、認真嗎？！」395Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtA8NTQ1GFq
395Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBxQSOJndUe
「要盯緊這傢伙不能讓她有一個人獨處的機會。」二郎解釋，為了抓犯人他還真是用盡心思，「反正沒有要進池區，看不到啦！你就當作我們要當和梨的保鑣好了。」
395Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSRzSkA5qYY
「我還是想問……我們這樣做真的好嗎？」395Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrYvPkDxbAs
395Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmAxnsYOBWI
哈吉爾戰戰兢兢走進女子更衣室，明知道沒有人卻還是東張西望，腳下吱吱作響的老舊木板令他繃緊神經，卻只換來二郎一句「良心不安你就出去嘛，反正我心無雜念。」395Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUXjLNwhO9X
395Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdWKe2GNQB6
「我也沒有雜念啊！」應該吧。395Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvRkggvlFsD
395Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpdMSmLwrcB
走在前方的湯花拉開毛玻璃門，斜眼瞥見自己果然被兩人監視著，悻悻然大喊：「和梨！妳還要泡多久？」395Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5pb15rlar3
395Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRjd7W5ckoV
叩咚！造景竹筒的水填滿而垂落，聲音迴盪，卻不見任何人回應。395Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkOZDwnJyrr
395Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRv5dNIUt8l
一秒、兩秒......五秒過去了依然鴉雀無聲。395Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH7y8XBmo9u
395Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwYrhQfLebe
二郎與哈吉爾面面相覷，擠眉弄眼用表情問著現在是什麼情況。395Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZIYjWql1lX
395Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOAIbBf6RMQ
「喂，聽到的話回應一下好嗎！」湯花的口氣明顯變嚴肅。395Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBYvcLJu9Z4
395Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVi7GDdxFma
泡湯超過一小時不是什麼太嚴重的事情，她見過許多老阿公老阿嬤待在熱水裡兩三個小時都沒感覺。395Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDCfPb5Wwrv
395Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKIvo5ZOl3w
但沒回應就另當別論了。395Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLQm1hbqQ07
395Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFfXAC42Whm
溫泉是讓人放鬆休息的地方，但不代表絕對安全，不然他們也不會限制三歲以下孩童禁止進入，與父親相依為命的湯花更不會在湯屋營業時間被綁在這裡只為了定期巡視女湯。395Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbLCHo9xlDj
395Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpevDo45eDy
客人可能滑倒、可能因溫差過大而休克，意外總是暗藏在生活周遭。395Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNgOJzfEdva
395Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnVYaF22tnb
人們是死是活湯花其實也不是很在意，但她唯獨不容許有人在這裡發生三長兩短。395Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT7HINDjHs1
395Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi7xta4iQY1
「這裡」可是她的家，不是可以隨便死人的地方。395Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCdMMXTSjkT
395Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3JcAo2GjT4
「別鬧了！快回答我！」湯花喊著，慢慢步入水蒸氣瀰漫的空間之中，她的聲音在容納五六個池子的諾大場地內迴盪。395Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYwYFsZxwoV
395Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz4lLQBuipc
她左顧右盼仔細尋找，最終在淋浴區隱隱約約看見倒臥在地的人影。395Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8FXp8czAfG
395Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSej4glmDAZ
她立刻跑過去，果不其然發現和梨趴在地面，右手指穿進塑膠小凳子中間洞孔，看起來是要拿椅子做些什麼。摔落在地的蓮蓬頭上有敲擊的痕跡，和梨的肩膀、手肘處皆有瘀青及擦傷。395Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3db03sSdUE
395Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXyvQN7uo4H
這根本不是摔倒這麼簡單的事。395Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD0B4myJylR
395Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGCQOBR0WWm
「喂！妳趕快醒醒！」湯花激動搖著她，和梨腳上有個什麼突然抽走，咻——地縮回一旁熱泉裡頭。395Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK2YZ6kAb2o
395Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmmOm8rT01U
雖然速度很快，但湯花確定那個東西很像透明觸手，卻不知道到底是什麼。395Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA2obV1qz3C
395Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2mOo94UQxy
「嗚……」和梨呻吟，終於睜開雙眼，她皺著眉似乎不大舒服，「是妳……」她又昏沉個幾秒才開口：「白靈……都這麼兇的嗎……」395Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf87nyXZMUs
395Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNkNqBcuZl0
什麼？395Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTeftMbrpMG
395Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz0DzRGjTiI
湯花愣住，才赫然想起和梨泡湯前一直跟她說聽見哭聲。395Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKGVr72Trlb
395Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs1WATbKwgb
她真以為那是白靈才不管的，因為白靈不會攻擊任何人。395Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0AWZKJ04oQ
395Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1xqBVKPXPy
「湯花，女湯這幾天不開放，我懷疑裡面有怪物。」395Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYSP5Fb4ZTe
395Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9T13YqqntS
她忽然想起父親幾天前曾說過的話。395Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfIUD2C3qwe
395Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWdo9j2NwaV
父親說好像聽見小孩的聲音，但沒看到人，後來湯花跟著他一起找了好幾次，還是什麼也沒發現。395Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3oz46iFkCL
395Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYDy24Iz1dT
為了以防萬一，父親堅持要去張貼任務請冒險者來解決，湯花只覺得他大驚小怪，明明什麼證據也沒有，都嫌最近生意不好了還繼續亂花錢，那筆任務的費用給她拿去揮霍還比較值得。395Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡszI6dbbYYV
395Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFJGAsztxaO
「真的有怪物……」395Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI5YamPzHld
395Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtLztZSf6wt
看著和梨滿身傷痕的憔悴樣，她才驚覺自己錯了。395Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjZGvh4svu6
395Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4Af5CGkVqa
倒抽一口氣後，她不安地看向剛才透明觸手縮回的那個池子。395Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeF076XSd5Y
395Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡusOQVcxJZU
漣漪悄悄晃動著。
