拜別朝夕相對的親友後，這曾經共處的狹小陋室裡，空洞寧靜彷如沉浸在淡淡寂意之中。435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMEZ4hYYEFc

歇息間，妲羽步下觀星儀前的台階，無心漫步之中踏上牆邊梯間，止在閣樓上的床舖前。435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3MOV3TR9pv

「啊啊，怎麼有那麼多錢在這裡？還有這不就是埃美姐的魔匣嗎？」往床頭櫃一看，她這下才發現座檯燈下靜躺著一塊以鮮橙色框身點綴的黑色屏幕，連同一大疊鈔票以紙卷包起。435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeFRCCJ1PQZ
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNlDuzdRxOF
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd0PfZuInl0
「妲羽，我把我的魔匣、還有我最近掙來的剩錢都留在這裡，任妳處置。不用擔心我，事成之後我會儘快回到妲羽身邊──埃美克戎。」435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVhRAoaeig1
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyXijiJZLEx
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡENVCXA4R5A
細唸著紙卷上整齊的文字，便頓時勾起心中對她依依不捨之意。即使多番聽聞埃美克戎提及腦裡神祇的聲音，魔法帽下偏偏不能如埃美克戎那般，完全盡信如此一個連長相都摸不清的使者。435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSjrn58PVAc

想著想著，視線無意落到床上的掛鐘上。435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMR8c6FLL3Q

「糟糕！完全忘記了要去天文學協會那邊交報告！」幼小兩腿連忙走下閣樓，疊好平放觀星儀旁邊的三塊薄板，再把橢圓星盤置於上方，便匆匆奔出門口。435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmZhNsLZRHI

慣性走到住宅區一隅的大簷篷底下，快手按下虛像地圖上方一個黃色圓點，等到眼前一抹藍色光輝散去現出透明玻璃幕牆後，焦燥的步伐遂再次起動，繞過中央圓形噴水池進入路旁其中一幢高樓之中。435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkpSyWJ3Hrz
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnS33XLizWC
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe54c9AHO2G
「抱歉！妲羽來遲了，這疊是最新的星象研究報告，麻煩轉交一下給會長大人，謝謝你！」435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDgOvz4vbra

止步於天文學協會的接待處前，妲羽喘著氣卸下臂上三塊薄板推到桌上。然而，接待生眼神卻正示意妲羽望向後方沙發上把玩著手上小巧屏幕的身影。未及妲羽回頭一看，對方卻率先喊話道：435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeqfsi0NAdY
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVJCWkwwn0B
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc46y09p40a

435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaoG0ryZyAh
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkMkYPpyUvx
妲羽放下橢圓星盤，雙手捧起薄板疊親自交到沙發上西裝男子手上，默默看著對方撥弄薄板細閱半透明版面上相繼現出的密麻字句。字裡行間盛載妲羽終日埋頭於觀星儀前的成果，還有那對她來說是「理所當然」的知識，無一不讓這天文學會會長臉上泛起津津樂道之神情。435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCvlGhnULQc
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuq7m2J39n4
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhFD3tVwiG9
「對了妲羽，難得我今日有點閑暇，介意到我房間聊兩句嗎？」他高掛朗笑，投下這話便轉身步向接待處旁邊的趟門。對這突然的邀請感到不明所以的妲羽，亦只好跟著對方踏過門後忙碌的研究所，來到盡頭一所工作室內。435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxBUXoZqziS
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXM3xYRd2rm
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR1d4KNvh3o
「妲羽，這個報告說的是針對北天球三一五四區域的大空洞成因假說，對吧？」待妲羽坐在辦公桌前的座椅上，他便翻弄著薄板屏幕裡記載的長篇大論，再道：「我倒是好奇，為什麼妳會認為是外力引致本來在空洞裡的星體消失呢？現在主流都提出暗物質濃霧說，難道我們偉大的天文學超新星妲羽找到這說法有什麼破綻嗎？」435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3nHdmsOGXz
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv4of1k0M4t
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtATAw1knzL
「唉……您過獎了，但空洞那個位置根本沒觀測到什麼暗物質，所以那個學說才沒法成立。」435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmDDQOWEUcg
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6jkEweJjnz
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7P0RGEnINQ
「妲羽……就算是全終界最先進的設備，也沒法直接觀測到所謂暗物質的存在，妳這樣說不怕被外面的叔叔輩指責嗎？」435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpRvAmDANz6
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEDltaw1ff0
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0NVNHQwR3l
見對方皺著眉反問著，妲羽亦收起苦笑，淡然低頭緊盯橢圓星盤中點點星輝。435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcoJw5CqCpg
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhMieBiwC1W
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfEFswuqG04
「妲羽只是覺得，既然連它的本質都搞不清楚就直接放進理論裡的話，不就只是隨便找個能滿足自己的答案嗎？」435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0AZEilVF16
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvoWQebhslb
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡazMMmKb1j5
至此，修伯特再想不到該如何反駁妲羽，一抹陰笑又再度掛在嘴邊，點著頭對妲羽說道：435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG4xT0iBPu1
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoE0mrZPPTC
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4fGGxeOBcT
「哈哈！好吧，那等我詳細看完妳這疊理論之後再通知妳吧。應該來的及在年度大會裡披露的，不用擔心。」435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ09n9rWsoUs
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9lvDC5Nhvw
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgNRldW2iu9
「嗯，那……那妲羽先告辭了。」435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS76BK7kkjk
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE9pkIV75i6
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbKUkREaXVr
短暫而怪奇的見面就此劃上句號。對方那深藏不露的表情猶如要向她盤算陰謀那般，直叫妲羽避之則吉。慌張之下她一手緊抱橢圓星盤，一手按著頭上魔法帽子急步沿原路走出大樓。435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI39KVVimWa
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyRjo83W9YC
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz7tr9rDnSK
澄藍光輝散去後，從大簷篷步出之際，迎面卻見平時人煙稀少的住宅區大街上聚集了大堆駐足人群，視線不約而同指向同一天際之外。妲羽按著帽子走到人群之中，抬頭一看，赫然發現一道耀眼光柱正在高樓後更遠方的地平線上徑直升起，彷彿一座光橋連接天地。435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj2hORPVt8u
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyRm3Qpl5xT
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9VkB379hmt

即便是光天化日下，蔽於陽光後的繁星仍沒法逃過妲羽一雙夜色雙目，成為用於指引方向的座標，好讓她一眼就辦出光柱所在之地正是離淨土以外不遠處。至此，腦內瞬即閃過曾朝夕相處的親友臨別之際那副著她放心、卻又帶點牽強的微笑，激盪她心中諸多憂慮神緒。435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡicKcZ3HNi4
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT7TMJD4aVA
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ0h8RSG7AV
再度變得焦燥的步伐繞過人群，奔往一側暗巷，回到巷裡不起眼的小屋裡。鑰匙「啪」一聲放到桌上，妲羽隨即坐在觀星儀前，純熟調整著觀星儀在屋頂的觀測器，把角度撥向地面，正對遠方光柱……這還是她首次把這座用於探知星際事件的精密儀器遠觀大地上遼闊的無人之境。435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvkaWIsTVUJ
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBmvjVimdMc
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo5zo1kjBPr
調整好角度之後，從觀測器映進眼裡卻是光柱消失後荒蕪一片的亂象，無數黑漆如濃霧的物體逐漸散失殆盡，現出那熟悉的身影似是跌坐了在地上，伸手攙扶著槍柄，微顫身子就像在不斷喘息，盡露疲態。435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhByKiQrD5m
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡspsRkyniNQ
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL3MDmAcVYp
「埃美姐……妳需要妲羽幫忙嗎？」435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5pSs9ifYR6
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqx4pswqwZf
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl8Tiss9tk9
憂愁間她從口袋裡拿出她薄而通透的粉色魔匣，姆指徘徊於光亮觸屏上，把問候一字不漏打在對話框裡。435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaidEwLM9hc
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCU3KPFgayc
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCzUBhLdSsl
苦候良久，直至看到靜躺一角、被大疊聖砂鈔票裹起的橙色魔匣，才猛然意識到，從這小小屏幕上發送的字句，壓根就沒法送到淨土外埃美克戎手上。435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAHzimQqVXO
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRzGAMlIm5S
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8KZxFY3KMI
「也是……魔匣的通訊範圍只限在淨土裡面，即使埃美姐拿著它出門，也不會收到妲羽的訊息呢。」435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsTBRjkABiS
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOHzMtx98PU
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMXN1K6fXtG
妲羽握著橙色魔匣，連同大疊聖砂鈔票一同放進星盤底下的暗格裡，其後又抱緊這橢圓星盤、還有那始終未能放下的擔憂，再度踏出家門。她獨自踏上街道另一隅的巨大圓形法陣，待眼前現出地圖映像後，毫不猶豫按下右方商業區中央的黃色圓點，嘗試憑直覺追隨著昨日那看不見的足跡。
