:我曾經是你的公主
293Please respect copyright.PENANAbG7x9zKKR6
這次的復原工作並不光是復位這麼簡單,所以平時多依靠魔法的哈吉爾這次也只能徒手幫忙。293Please respect copyright.PENANAspA8m6g1Nv
293Please respect copyright.PENANAxrkD8Vgfeh
破裂的木頭拉門以及毛玻璃門,碎裂成一塊塊的殘骸全部都是錢。修繕要花錢、重新粉刷被血漬污染的牆壁與地板也要花錢、被二郎砍下來的石像更要價不菲。293Please respect copyright.PENANABgjepmJVQi
293Please respect copyright.PENANA0HrijD3uxp
「妳不是說要退錢給我們嗎?該不會是騙人的吧?我們幫忙完妳就裝傻把我們趕走。」293Please respect copyright.PENANAserFAsQ7qJ
293Please respect copyright.PENANAbbMyTrnvNI
「給我閉嘴!」湯花感受得到自己飆升的血壓令頭頂昏昏脹脹的,她變得比平時還要更歇斯底里,「你有沒有良心啊!沒看到我現在焦頭爛額的嗎!」293Please respect copyright.PENANAlP6XzQW7sX
293Please respect copyright.PENANAH2KwVS88sG
帶著和梨出來避難時還沒什麼,看到怪物衝破大門出去也還在忍受範圍,直到心情平靜下來,大家顧著安撫和梨的自尊時湯花才開始檢查四處。293Please respect copyright.PENANAatMK0IWXRz
293Please respect copyright.PENANARmwlsFOv35
不看還好,一看差點昏過去。293Please respect copyright.PENANAPRbvtfoeHJ
293Please respect copyright.PENANALsSQC2yNMF
平時也沒在管帳務的她自然是不清楚這些毀壞的裝潢需要花費多少錢維修,但基於平時買東西都愛買高單價物品,她真心認定這些需要一大筆金額。293Please respect copyright.PENANAhWSjyEebcE
293Please respect copyright.PENANAC8hXcxaWBN
實際金額是多少她不管,她只知道等父親回來又要挨上一頓罵了。293Please respect copyright.PENANAPUNhH3hAdU
293Please respect copyright.PENANAckTHWDewtF
挨罵這就算了,最慘的是父親如果要她自掏腰包,那她乾脆離家出走好了。293Please respect copyright.PENANACwzca94bXT
293Please respect copyright.PENANAjEOTkfGpOB
湯花也顧不著早上特地捲好的髮型,瘋狂搔著頭,散發出沒人敢靠近的狂暴。293Please respect copyright.PENANAaFhy4khwYQ
293Please respect copyright.PENANAjLXkYmO2I7
「啊啊啊啊算了!其他我就認了,至少那個石像要沒事。」當全部人走進女湯區準備研究如何整理時,湯花直接放棄,對著沉在米白色溫泉裡的一大塊灰色石塊喊道,「魔法師,那個幫我用回去。」293Please respect copyright.PENANAkqw6VprQv8
293Please respect copyright.PENANAWZYQhY2en2
「用、用回去?我嗎?」哈吉爾指著自己。293Please respect copyright.PENANAsCOp9P2FKw
293Please respect copyright.PENANAcQcuSzzGMn
他的確可以靠魔法把那塊石頭移到原位,但切口還在,他只要一解除魔法那塊石像還是會滑下去。293Please respect copyright.PENANAjWVNElv8Ya
293Please respect copyright.PENANANHO5NiW6Kj
「當然是你啊,你不是魔法師嗎?」293Please respect copyright.PENANAcOtbrn826O
293Please respect copyright.PENANA0JWb1golNb
「魔法真的沒有那麼容易……」哈吉爾也很逆來順受地先把水裡的東西移動上岸,眼看湯花已經把注意力放在別處,他才鬆了一口氣。293Please respect copyright.PENANAQxv54XbrLv
293Please respect copyright.PENANANBusWVw6Me
「這個屍……小女孩怎麼處理啊?」293Please respect copyright.PENANA8kqxLJS6Eh
293Please respect copyright.PENANADY5aNnFcHK
那是魚怪釣在頭上的餌,也是逃跑時求生用的斷尾,現在呈現小女孩的姿態躺在地面一動也不動,蒼白的肌膚配上怪物四散在地的血漬,任誰一看都會覺得是屍體。293Please respect copyright.PENANAkwcfGdnrXI
293Please respect copyright.PENANADLFkdXI6SW
蹲在一旁觀察的和梨注意到湯花靠近,馬上詢問她,不待她回答又馬上用手指戳了戳小女孩臉頰,「可不可以直接丟垃圾桶啊?說實話,我看到她就來氣,當初就是碰到這孩子我才被電到還掉進水裡的。」293Please respect copyright.PENANA4Fj8VZ04Je
293Please respect copyright.PENANACA0wexHgLg
「妳都覺得像屍體了,還認為能直接當垃圾丟嗎?」湯花正暴躁,可沒閒工夫跟這些人開玩笑,更別說她剛剛第一眼看到小女孩時差點嚇到魂都飛了。293Please respect copyright.PENANAk8mylRZbRd
293Please respect copyright.PENANAVBCghkCu0e
「欸?不行嗎?」293Please respect copyright.PENANAMXPcQqpw5a
293Please respect copyright.PENANAop8ggsBoBR
「妳——」湯花真的差點止不住拳頭,好在哈吉爾衝過來架住她,「別生氣別生氣,和梨只是想讓氣氛活絡一點而已啦。」293Please respect copyright.PENANAn6BUMALamH
293Please respect copyright.PENANAArMdWpAbHA
「喂,妳是認真以為屍體可以這樣丟嗎?」趁哈吉爾壓制住湯花,二郎跑來對和梨竊竊私語,後者也只是稍微吐舌頭傻笑。293Please respect copyright.PENANAG1dH455cwF
293Please respect copyright.PENANA1FCthzGB2K
好在他們的對話音量夠小,要是湯花聽見了真的會翻臉變成瘋女人,用指甲刮爛和梨的臉。293Please respect copyright.PENANAtMJ3NRXnZA
293Please respect copyright.PENANAm0xpcSstwn
過一陣子等湯花稍微冷靜之後,哈吉爾才鬆手,蹲到小女孩前,仔細觀察頭頂連接的切口——從切口開始已經漸漸枯乾。293Please respect copyright.PENANASWSiHmBHL7
293Please respect copyright.PENANA2DaHMPtjK6
「就像花瓣凋零後會枯萎,這個誘餌已經沒有養分跟水分來源了,大概過不到一天就會縮水乾癟掉吧。」293Please respect copyright.PENANAjgauqiBrWx
293Please respect copyright.PENANAcdC4scroTp
「所以等牠乾掉就行了吧?」湯花再次確認。293Please respect copyright.PENANAC4YzRlFAUZ
293Please respect copyright.PENANABiiJIESX1N
「對,到時候也看不出小女孩的樣子,直接丟掉也沒關係。」293Please respect copyright.PENANAWrHbGZRyiI
293Please respect copyright.PENANAq7dNW2WVT3
一直到這時湯花才稍微鬆了口氣。293Please respect copyright.PENANAg5DUQwvkeO
293Please respect copyright.PENANA2sXcLvWzub
一下子鬆懈下來,她還真想把這爛攤子直接放著不管,去外面市區找帥哥按摩師做個SPA犒賞自己。293Please respect copyright.PENANAbyWFAsSO7K
293Please respect copyright.PENANAm8bFfOBWoS
然而事情總是事與願違。293Please respect copyright.PENANAQa2VoeryMp
293Please respect copyright.PENANAcj0ouJ9V1s
「湯花!到底是發生了什麼事!」293Please respect copyright.PENANAiOCoT29zOm
293Please respect copyright.PENANAUbZstm0Wvf
那是一道從大廳傳進來的中年男性吼聲,滄桑的菸嗓十分憤怒,就好像是累積已久的情緒終於爆發。293Please respect copyright.PENANAfIuheJ81Uo
293Please respect copyright.PENANAV032UP3gaJ
在場的人順著聲音看向門口,他們的表情並不驚訝,頂多就是覺得「啊,有人來了」,但湯花不一樣,她睜大的眼眶甚至包不住戴上放大片的紫瞳,眼神不斷晃動飄移。293Please respect copyright.PENANATAYnkN02dp
293Please respect copyright.PENANA9eHMVgfhWQ
現在幾點?去隔壁鎮辦事回來至少要兩個小時,已經過了那麼久了嗎?293Please respect copyright.PENANARKbS5QdBM9
293Please respect copyright.PENANAnLkPQTm0H1
「媽的,衰爆了。」她的慌張也只維持一瞬間,大力咽下卡在喉頭的口水,她朝門口大喊:「爹地!你聽我解……」293Please respect copyright.PENANAxyljYZ4qMb
293Please respect copyright.PENANAWcmVJXck1i
還來不及把話說完,一隻腳就從女更衣室門口踏了進來。293Please respect copyright.PENANAu2w51fmh1z
293Please respect copyright.PENANAl3AcVOR8Rh
現身的是體態偏肥胖的禿頭阿伯,他的眉頭深鎖,一路低頭看著地板上連成一線的血漬,心情看來非常差。293Please respect copyright.PENANALnyNva30R5
293Please respect copyright.PENANAbytKeEzG8M
「是告訴我們女湯不開放的那個人……」和梨嘀咕。293Please respect copyright.PENANAUxTe1lEPJQ
293Please respect copyright.PENANAbnGOjIZBRG
他表情不悅,但也只是普通人生氣的程度,可是當那外表怎麼看都與真人屍體無異的誘餌小女孩進入視線,他露出了前所未有的扭曲臉孔。293Please respect copyright.PENANAzHQjA9M2kA
293Please respect copyright.PENANAiRPhrVzzP6
眼前三名圍繞在屍體周圍的是他出遠門前告誡不能進入女湯的客人,而他女兒卻站在離屍體最遠的地方。293Please respect copyright.PENANAWpA75qnPCj
293Please respect copyright.PENANAjEkK4JCzH9
他把眼前畫面視為湯花對這件事漠不關心,才把屍體交給其他人處理。293Please respect copyright.PENANA3qioMbKoo5
293Please respect copyright.PENANASW0mTraxu7
「爹地你聽我解釋,因為怪……」293Please respect copyright.PENANAxeed1u6VN4
293Please respect copyright.PENANAVYW7HKHSVA
「我不是說過女湯有怪物了不要讓客人進來嗎!!」293Please respect copyright.PENANANJBt0glVWV
293Please respect copyright.PENANAqbx5yRbyuE
父親用盡全身力氣嘶吼,場面甚至比二郎離村時被村民追趕還要更加緊繃。293Please respect copyright.PENANAtqi6Vbg0MG
293Please respect copyright.PENANAQyOV3AZ9rs
「這個人……她、她過世多久了?」一個明顯年過半百的中老年人,明明見過各種世面的年紀,卻依然面露怯色,「所以說妳為什麼要帶客人進來!!」293Please respect copyright.PENANAVZCV7SmEPK
293Please respect copyright.PENANAHoW9jlstks
面對無止盡的咆哮,湯花也難免火氣上來,原本的驚慌與擔心消失殆盡,但她還是努力壓制脾氣,「不是,你先聽我解釋好嗎?這個人她不是……」293Please respect copyright.PENANAAAKRxZDIjV
293Please respect copyright.PENANADq2u38zfhI
「妳還想解釋什麼!!有什麼好解釋的!!」父親的情緒近乎崩潰,他完全沒有要聽湯花說話,整臉氣得漲紅,既氣憤又無奈,八字的眉頭卻顯無助,或許冷靜下來會哭出來也不一定。293Please respect copyright.PENANAYfTyc4Y3uu
293Please respect copyright.PENANAAwrhSxlShn
他肯定是沒經歷過任何人意外死在眼前,四周還充滿著鮮血,更別提等適應這股恐懼之後要面對的生意問題。293Please respect copyright.PENANAGiSG6RRNeG
293Please respect copyright.PENANAbLynRaIdGi
「哈、哈哈……」293Please respect copyright.PENANAS5CJYJNdiK
293Please respect copyright.PENANAr82OFYTmDO
發出聲音的嘴角沒有上揚。293Please respect copyright.PENANAqvb1daKUH9
293Please respect copyright.PENANAZZb1fNA2O4
這聲寒霜般的冷笑掃過眾人耳畔,也才終於讓她父親願意把目光放在自己身上。293Please respect copyright.PENANAlHCzoXCyeZ
293Please respect copyright.PENANA8618npOCBF
那冷笑比起嘲笑這難以解釋的現況,更像是自嘲——
293Please respect copyright.PENANAc1AKhb2gn5
「我是你女兒吧?」
293Please respect copyright.PENANA3BML4Qx9EW
叩咚!竹筒造景持續敲擊。293Please respect copyright.PENANACebHIjNk0V
293Please respect copyright.PENANA7EKKo9Uo2u
父親沒有回答,應該說,他充滿疑惑的表情跟欲言又止的嘴更像在思考著,「這跟現在這狀況有什麼關係?」293Please respect copyright.PENANA3WwUnML66Z
293Please respect copyright.PENANAKCaHBvROzK
所有人沉默著不發一語。293Please respect copyright.PENANAgSG27xS653
293Please respect copyright.PENANAQpF0HKVrMZ
「怪物……你知道在哪嗎?」低沉嗓音環繞著,湯花假裝怪物還在池子裡一樣,以一種難以言喻的眼神看著熱泉。知情的其他人皺眉,沒人理解她為何要這樣裝神秘。293Please respect copyright.PENANAeOI4512RSC
293Please respect copyright.PENANA9MTZxHsaMP
「……什麼?」父親驚得一怔,他記得回家時看到被撞破大洞的大門,還有一路滴向遠方的血跡,「怪物難道不是逃出去了嗎?」293Please respect copyright.PENANAbQaY7gV3Pa
293Please respect copyright.PENANAYXt8UKbF7W
293Please respect copyright.PENANAfxzcBzJDys
「啊啊,對吼,我差點忘記牠逃出去了。」293Please respect copyright.PENANAabCbjMw2HM
293Please respect copyright.PENANA22WDC13s2c
293Please respect copyright.PENANAMBDmO5WHCM
叩咚——
293Please respect copyright.PENANAgGrXFEdPkp
湯花一直用一種裝模作樣的聲音在說話,實在是沒人能理解目前到底是什麼狀況,更別說是她父親,他甚至不知道怪物是如何殺死一旁的女孩的。293Please respect copyright.PENANAxLFzmnXpGA
293Please respect copyright.PENANAQYTcHy1VdF
「忘、」他簡直難以置信,「忘記?妳在開什麼玩笑!現在還有心情開玩笑嗎!」293Please respect copyright.PENANAZBVi0FSOdW
293Please respect copyright.PENANABy02YqOF4q
「你才在跟我開玩笑吧!!!」終於是發自內心的聲調,湯花這聲怒吼瞬間壓制對方,嚇得她父親猛然閉嘴。293Please respect copyright.PENANAiGHcQWS7FQ
293Please respect copyright.PENANAszhWlV9XWW
纖細手指朝一旁屍體指去,「你看到了吧?怪物殺人了,很可怕啊。」293Please respect copyright.PENANAUJHipwHsYt
293Please respect copyright.PENANAt33DVtay51
然後,手腕轉向,指頭朝向了自己。293Please respect copyright.PENANAReO1Cjle8g
293Please respect copyright.PENANANRo2r1n88s
「那我呢?怪物能殺她就不會殺我嗎?」293Please respect copyright.PENANAPtP5M4MlL9
293Please respect copyright.PENANAWIIFLtkaTC
儘管女兒皮笑肉不笑的表情令人畏懼,父親卻也終於意識到自己的行為,「湯……」293Please respect copyright.PENANALn5BClLUa5
293Please respect copyright.PENANAlwVxeAPIyd
「旁邊都死人了,你對自己的女兒連個『有沒有受傷』的關心都沒有,連解釋都不聽就直接開罵,難道我在你心裡就只是個顧女湯的員工嗎!」293Please respect copyright.PENANAaSNeCnE5Ff
293Please respect copyright.PENANAK8c6Xp28Ad
「哈、難道是因為這個?」近乎崩潰的湯花從口袋抽出紅色冒險者徽章,直直秀給對方看,「因為女兒是高級很厲害,所以不需要擔心,是這樣嗎?不是吧?你根本就不相信我啊!」293Please respect copyright.PENANAi4C9ct38IH
293Please respect copyright.PENANAcxmcMWuxpE
「你是知道的吧?所以才會不管說什麼都要去隔壁鎮徵召冒險者過來,因為你知道自己女兒其實就只是個什麼都不是的弱女子!」293Please respect copyright.PENANAAhXyuCn0oi
293Please respect copyright.PENANA8wLd6YkKed
「那又是為什麼、為什麼完全不在乎我的人身安全!回答我啊!我不是你的女兒嗎!」
293Please respect copyright.PENANAmcA4eP7KxE
叩咚——
293Please respect copyright.PENANABcafz3cQMX
一口氣將所有不滿咆哮而出,喘氣的胸膛大幅度起伏著,湯花吼到最後幾乎已經破音,場面卻是一點也笑不出來。293Please respect copyright.PENANAlGzvRdxOPM
293Please respect copyright.PENANAA1izoChkM7
她持續喘著,嘴裡滿溢的鹹味讓她發現自己正在流淚,血壓飆升全身都在發燙,湯花發現在場的所有人都一臉驚恐看向自己,就好像自己剛才做了什麼錯誤的事。293Please respect copyright.PENANAumWHpH3NdI
293Please respect copyright.PENANADkq8Ejfij0
無論平常是多麼的任意妄為,她都覺得至少這次自己沒有錯。293Please respect copyright.PENANAD5bzcxt1wb
293Please respect copyright.PENANAwyil8n262f
「這個爛東西誰稀罕……」293Please respect copyright.PENANACH5FCPCwoT
293Please respect copyright.PENANA6kS8o7D1S1
用力朝地面猛摔發出哐啷一聲,鋁製徽章在地面轉呀轉的,像陀螺一樣不停左右游移,不知道自己該何去何從。293Please respect copyright.PENANAc7g7Bnmv68
293Please respect copyright.PENANAiC2j3qLd96
湯花頭也不回地離開了。293Please respect copyright.PENANAM3Vde8A9Uf
293Please respect copyright.PENANAcLEYNgoxFl
大門被用力甩上的衝擊透過地面傳來時,徽章才失去平衡倒下。293Please respect copyright.PENANANZFswQPiTY
293Please respect copyright.PENANATn2pY64Qq4
正面朝地,看不見鮮豔的紅,只剩下不起眼的銀灰。
293Please respect copyright.PENANAJy9OwczrpC
293Please respect copyright.PENANAUkKRzR4d9b
作者雜談:293Please respect copyright.PENANAmaz9mU5yzG
其實不能怪爸爸,他認為怪物逃出去了,看到湯花身上也沒任何外傷,而且看到一個人死在自己做生意的地方,這種驚恐自然是讓爸爸沒辦法顧慮太多。
然後整件事大概有八成都是湯花的錯,她還是不覺得XDDD
