沙卡美在洞穴裏修煉了很長時間，從來也不覺得餓或者渴。若然不趕快練成明鏡的境界，曼賈就會殺死她愛的所有人。301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcnV6LDk24f
301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeAlK1RKdgL
「哈！哈！」她站在池裏不停向瀑布揮刀，水比冰更冷，卻澆不熄她的鬥志。301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyp9nC72R3h
301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWKkkjQVGKR
既然母親每天揮一千下刀，為了超越母親，她要每天揮二千，甚至三千下刀。301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaP8i9JsNtQ
301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXlQ1lftum5
她堅信追尋之物就在努力盡頭。301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0RBAWJlyGq

受多少苦也不要緊，她不受苦的話其他人就會受苦。301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlhmv1qWyYD
301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL6SYFDpcle
「哈！哈！」在無盡的揮刀過程裏，她的思緒漸漸飄向遠方。301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnbraasvRIx
301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPsKaSs18Fh
保護一切或捨棄一切才能達至明鏡的境界？人總會失去些事物吧？她失去了賴鐸，失去了利華特，她保護不了他們。301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEsNWT1pndy
301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtcLD60GgYb
母親有達到明鏡的境界嗎？母親捨棄了她和在帝國的一切，算滿足條件嗎？散播悲傷的明鏡是明鏡嗎？大概不是。301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0rCaP2mppD
301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZko0xHFBdA
那張紙僅是謎面，她要領悟明鏡的真諦。301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3EMO8PjitW
301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP2SgXq9XfM
另一邊廂，岡原、小娜和貝吏刻唐等人來到沙卡美所在的房間前。301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBHDWPKdblC
301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBfyfe3rOw4
「如果陛下清醒的話就幫她戴面具，如果昏迷的話就帶她出去再治療她，清楚嗎？」岡原問手拿著面具的小娜。301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeBPXyMWWmo
301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡThuK60eMiB
「嗯。」小娜點頭。301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFwxeXtnbWB
301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj5DFGG6Ef2
「好。各位，準備好了嗎？」岡原對牆壁伸出手掌。301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiUzOfao0EU
301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVjEEItvbCK
「準備好了。」「準備好了。」「準備好了。」貝吏刻唐和魔法部隊成員一同瞄準牆壁。301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1v6JRz7zAz
301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡovJhQUw4OT
「鮮物都・加瓦治！」301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuuVUqK5vwL
301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr52Jm33PyI
咒語擊中牆壁，牆堅隨即化為一團灰塵。眾人精準控制過咒語有效範圍，使咒語只消除房間的牆壁301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLvm6U8A1tt
301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2za34H1uha
鐵門因為牆壁消失而倒下，他們看到沙卡美正坐在椅子上。301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0SXyhkVY6b
301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPjiRZrVS0U
「沙卡美！」小娜上前檢查她的狀況，「她昏倒了！」301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF7kRzs9Tvm
301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnsHMr6toPK
小娜抱起沙卡美，運起魔力離開基地，其他人亦隨她回到地面。301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgLgtkffX7R
301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ5UshaTKk1
「沙卡美！醒醒！」小娜檢查她的呼吸，隨後聽見她在「呼呼」地小聲叫。301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFsyVDPh0kp
301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpI6vcBvzoE
「小娜！陛下狀況怎麼了？」貝吏刻唐走到旁邊問小娜。301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtW484INRAd
301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡimr9eVTnzh
「她在睡覺。」發現白擔心一場的小娜向貝吏刻唐露出無奈的表情。301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGBRAiTnuoI
301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp2IBfI8dw3
「睡、睡覺？」貝吏刻唐不太相信。301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoB4581CMMC
301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡViIIx154uq
「桌上有個碎掉的水晶球。我猜可能是他們想用它來操控沙卡美，但沙卡美毀了水晶球。」小娜脫下防毒面具，「她一定累透了，給點時間她休息吧。」301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSJ90PTY2cj
301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡowQaK3AjSS
貝吏刻唐脫下面具，「我們要想辦法回皇宮。這可是另一個大陸的最西邊，又沒有紅圈......」301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIXn47GjjyK
301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnaNW0Yh58p
「回去也要好幾個星期，我們身上又沒有錢......」小娜嘆了一口氣，「不過哥對打獵相當熟悉，所以我不怕。」301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbBPxAMMFfo
301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzg8LyZxcLt
在學習魔法的數十年裏，貝吏刻唐經常背著小娜在森林裏打獵，小娜就在籃子內欣賞他的英姿。301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBHZP1BN3XG
301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaGScjSmKqM
「各位！」貝吏刻唐呼叫在草原上看星的魔法部隊成員和岡原，「不如我們先去找些食物吧！」301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhI5BFOH61b
301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡik8KHum73r
「那邊有森林。」小娜用天文學知識得出方位，指著東邊的森林說：「而且還在東邊，我們在森林裏打獵，休息一晚，到早上就馬不停蹄——人不停足地趕路。」301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQkECcGpWWZ
301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡko9PX6k3mi
「贊成！」「贊成！」魔法部隊成員紛紛舉手支持。301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg8f9RoAeji
301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUE3pl3fLYd
小娜背起沙卡美，跟其他人慢步前往森林。301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjQZaHz0KZL
301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJAy6V525rI
「沙卡美，相信我們，沒有妳我們也不會輕言放棄。」
301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPOoPY4Bfoz
說來神奇，沙卡美遺傳了壞人的優點和好人的缺點。她如賴鐸強悍卻不如他暴戾，如巫女擇善固執卻不如她處變不驚。擇善固執不一定指缺點，但從她的情況看，一旦錯了方向便很危險。301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9rAo24d4LB
301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxzDKeIDSNJ
明鏡到底會帶她去哪裏？掌握了明鏡她就能殺死曼賈嗎？301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtDbwJpzE6E
301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLoCrFuSr2E
她離失控僅有一步之遙，每當看到刀上的黑色火焰就不斷自責。她深信力量該用來保護而非傷害人，卻經已好幾次傷害了人。301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyxNbGYnbEB
301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI99Uh7HZVi
從無到有，從紅到藍，從藍到金的火焰象徵著何物？金色火焰代表她的戰意燃燒到最高點嗎？301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCovpNgURMn
301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT8T5W0Os3B
她對那把武士刀一無所知，連它的名字也不知道。無知的她就算進入明鏡境界也是會輸。301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8qeP6jWlpn
301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1ZYoe3PzNu
她煞停揮刀的雙手，走到池邊放下刀，用之前突然冒出來，放在石上的毛巾抹頭。301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhM7qCEW9Ho
301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfd2q1DUV36
頭和臉都抹乾淨，她拿起刀盯著滿佈水珠的刀身。301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfNjkHCvf9t
301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMq3ZozT7BT
「刀......有兩把。」301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFRheYgCIdg
301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbnYqtX2gZL
她忽然想起那把一直被遺忘，自開始揮刀後就被放在石頭邊的脇差。她撿起它，手執兩把刀的她很迷惘。301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpmaR0JOgaB
301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP2EHsT3sDS
「我一定對你有期望才會叫你出來......」她舉高握脇差的左手抬頭，「告訴我，你想我做甚麼？」301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjmrWM2z2Jn
301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxKxLCbw9X9
脇差和武士刀冒出紅色火焰，一塊巨石出現在她面前。301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhPUR9TSC8D
301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzfweBHnJYE
她放下手，對兩把刀說：「我明白了。我試試看。」301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi5NQBm6vE8
301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ3CA3ixOHg
她跑向巨石，跳起劈向巨石，「哈啊啊啊啊！」301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjhN6frGG6l
301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFKUQP2OFHh
巨石被劈成三部份，她望向武士刀，留意到刀身在發紅光。以往刀身不會發光，最多只會被火焰纏繞。她望向脇差，也是同樣狀況。301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLOrtbrExOc
301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtWgQlwxUUl
沒必要走上和母親一樣的路，她要開拓出屬於她的路。301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh2IXlnMPzI
301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRNrn1xHPZG
紅光蔓延到她手掌、手腕、手臂、肩膀、身軀、雙腿和頭，她整個人都在發光。301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvfQhP4uArv
301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo3zJoRMs3u
她正對其中一條石柱，身體微微傾前。301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRXymNt7iep
301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBygLVAFvfw
「啊！」301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV3J8WjPJQX
301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvsPA22T8FK
她向前想兩刀劈斷石柱，卻承受不到速度之快而在石柱前摔倒。301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA0j40v6i18
301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzKXCtGez88
情況就像背著重物絆倒，想向後拉自己起來卻被重物壓下去。301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtmUCl5c9sx
301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHpkOgYxrnu
「痛痛痛......」雙刀和身體的紅光消失，火焰也熄滅，她放下雙刀靠著石柱坐下。301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtbttIZ32hX
301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG25dcdbGDB
「希靈格・利卡巴。」她治好擦損的雙手，嘆了口氣。301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrwzZND4pDF
301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIQ5GAddL6v
「我果然還是不夠成熟。明明大家都在等我，我卻讓他們失望......我該怎麼辦......」301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS1B7DPxyrn
301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOwIgxLIHoT
她抱膝，頭貼在手上當枕頭休息。301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoXUS3o2yie
301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9UhxoeZEqf
「明鏡......拾棄一切......保護一切......我......」她找不到謎題的解答。301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSJPynOUIRM
301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEB86FLoaid
在全身都閃著紅光時，她以為終於領悟到要訣，怎料只領悟到殘酷的現實。301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAtVnRkJe2G
301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡapGx1BR4Yn
要找到欠缺的東西，便先要明白自己欠缺了甚麼。301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK2JiHRJYkz
301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ50wLesephv
「我到底需要甚麼？沒有人會教我，只有我才想到。」她望終有一天會開竅，「我是不是早就知道但不願面對？到底是怎樣？」301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBuGepg6KzZ
301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtuSWriULHS
很痛苦。301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWPz1lNCeOn
301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSpFzseotx9
「哪條才是正確的路？沒有——」301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiA4g7S4I3T
301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtAWWNg6Rgx
她腦海一片空白，那些抱怨的句子彷彿沒存在過。她拿起雙刀回到瀑布，又再揮刀。301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPG9XDrCeqT
301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBqPIUP9jCS
謎底根本不重要，解開謎底並不是終點，是其中一個里程碑。既然如此，她做她認為正確的事就足夠。
