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。345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPUzqOU7CyL

「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。345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRwmK773hM4
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbmH8YmPF5k
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。345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2PY7U5oC8X
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡslRliNACjR
她堅信追尋之物就在努力盡頭。345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT9y3vK8T0k
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrricNHADqw
受多少苦也不要緊，她不受苦的話其他人就會受苦。345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnWlCJKbh4S
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMtlwhZzsxz
「哈！哈！」在無盡的揮刀過程裏，她的思緒漸漸飄向遠方。345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR4hfHvm4CH
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFMCl9KmZtB
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。345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPyn72xXG7L
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNRh3pBv9Xf
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。345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjlFNdk9mNZ
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfUCYbpC1Q5
那張紙僅是謎面，她要領悟明鏡的真諦。345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKs7y6bePmQ
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA7NUKLb5zx
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。345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZTVB0EM5yQ
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtU4mVH4WE2
「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。345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWcAxux2phZ
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡshIWVBy6po
「嗯。」小娜點頭。345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCy4vZbGh10
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRCjFgRfe0X
「好。各位，準備好了嗎？」岡原對牆壁伸出手掌。345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqKqwnoQf9G
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzFi4JQ36fu
「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。345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe1q7NQRHpr
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCmblSmGVLh
「鮮物都・加瓦治！」345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAWmjahcRrY
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUcngqkKwNU
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345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh89TsI6YKf
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdK42fwupI9
鐵門因為牆壁消失而倒下，他們看到沙卡美正坐在椅子上。345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzpMTSHIo26
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIggxtPKVjs
「沙卡美！」小娜上前檢查她的狀況，「她昏倒了！」345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu2rcZFM5Xb
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwY5Wf3CS4i
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。345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfZomNf7yp2
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCWAQNsGsSd
「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。345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqc8wr5prP8
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1Na9yspzEt
「小娜！陛下狀況怎麼了？」貝吏刻唐走到旁邊問小娜。345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVzvMXO012h
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnE5Pyya12X
「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。345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjDJaAuqjfO
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiOyLkRv43G
「睡、睡覺？」貝吏刻唐不太相信。345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjISwqKHHFv
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCj4VoZ3qd9
「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。」345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCNm0feU2uX
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkEclk8l14k
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......」345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8RMHOfTNqT
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCgJPAGKs8U
「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。」345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLvtD8oqBIl
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUNsOudAE1v
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。345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT2F9MNwfWd
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6oFvKrEQbL
「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！」345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt1KL0aBpZk
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxXZJQCIgDI
「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。」345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRLDXdIxqUb
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuNMOzu5gFx
「贊成！」「贊成！」魔法部隊成員紛紛舉手支持。345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ22W43UoIK
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr5FWsKhD0v
小娜背起沙卡美，跟其他人慢步前往森林。345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡotxAGAkxbQ
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPk9gbeKRu6
「沙卡美，相信我們，沒有妳我們也不會輕言放棄。」
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2ttLddj6Fz
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。345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTcYIZm3NqQ
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡprJ3ZltH2K
明鏡到底會帶她去哪裏？掌握了明鏡她就能殺死曼賈嗎？345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXD22l34ORt
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyhe7AnKurO
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。345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmVjzIECDqe
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDqxpqKuJnz
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？345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoibML5wU3f
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1PiX7Ojirp
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。345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw1HzADpgCl
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyBdcfkHjCh
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。345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3OqC0iGHVn
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ85kjCW8gRB
頭和臉都抹乾淨，她拿起刀盯著滿佈水珠的刀身。345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRqIS43oH6Y
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB79IiALbeV
「刀......有兩把。」345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiHLmjiHJGG
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQosQKGtf3n
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。345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZtuMsZwElA
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzkRaOqC3Wn
「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？」345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYgfG4ATYlp
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyK6SaJptsS
脇差和武士刀冒出紅色火焰，一塊巨石出現在她面前。345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiphtjbXxV7
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡErNTjb4Uwm
她放下手，對兩把刀說：「我明白了。我試試看。」345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8gkHVgAcqY
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEnFDmgrLO6
她跑向巨石，跳起劈向巨石，「哈啊啊啊啊！」345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPiRW9PZ4L0
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZBM32WQ8Tu
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。345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt0SiGpSlpm
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVP9Fm4lruJ
沒必要走上和母親一樣的路，她要開拓出屬於她的路。345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuE7zk73jIC
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7MSa7e41jM
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。345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPBYsAmibQP
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB6wYnBDOJi
她正對其中一條石柱，身體微微傾前。345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLCIT5H68Do
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡufUy443Q6i
「啊！」345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5fmvlNaQdM
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO9UlfZiXKW
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。345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdFrbTbJUDc
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZVm18Z63N3
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。345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2dw58Eg2C8
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcCDU1s6tNH
「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。345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe5cg0xKV4C
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDbqXzjqrqf
「希靈格・利卡巴。」她治好擦損的雙手，嘆了口氣。345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGnrQ2R242U
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtjU8mMROEG
「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......」345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXwEvV9SGbO
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0getc7IvHB
她抱膝，頭貼在手上當枕頭休息。345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaBTjwEtLe7
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrOn3rRcThM
「明鏡......拾棄一切......保護一切......我......」她找不到謎題的解答。345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk0aphxiteb
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHDFLGQiSbe
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。345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpczxXqD8pV
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmJuSZLgxoi
要找到欠缺的東西，便先要明白自己欠缺了甚麼。345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqYNT1TkDLz
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLt4ke0CRrc
「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？」345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBs2s3BgDXW
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5ATh7Ix4GT
很痛苦。345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpDKQag9f52
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUm2lT45YIl
「哪條才是正確的路？沒有——」345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB58wJBv1gP
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtiqym80bdP
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。345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr7tpoyIAIW
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwnfOCY9Lmu
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。
