第四話 再見51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC3oUb3tnZ3
51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiGlmuUkRQc
街道上，男主緊張地帶著米迦勒走在城鎮裡。51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzKG1LXWuVz
「請問要去哪裡呢？」米迦勒輕聲問著。51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1ltGc4lT0u
她注意到男主穿上西裝、打了領帶。這副打扮在街上格外醒目。51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi7zbZaqpie
「我……我預定了一間餐廳。」51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1oT7QMQHb8
「希望你會喜歡……」他語氣緊張，步伐也微微僵硬。51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrQ93Et4Aiq
51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrm6eDLLMsw
餐廳門口。51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq8JKu3bh6h
「不好意思，這邊未成年人不能進入……」服務生禮貌地說。51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ69UXTUNQxy
「我……我成年了！」他急切地喊道。51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2oG9p61Mi5
我明明是15歲的男人，卻因為身高，看起來像12、13歲的孩子。51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLpftbl5tKa
（米迦勒是不是也把我當小孩子啊……）他偷偷地瞥了一眼身旁的米迦勒。51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡurNI7FVAup
51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVL7rZSZIct
「美麗的小姐，妳一個人嗎？」一名男人靠近，嘗試邀請米迦勒共進晚餐。51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhu3Kb979Sg
（被搭訕了！）我愣愣地看著她。51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjX7xiwG5gf
「不好意思，我跟弟弟一起來的。」米迦勒禮貌地回絕。51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzkEGiS6Ggr
（對了，我們的設定是姐弟……！）我這才猛然想起。51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcxSHLlsgrq
年齡上來看，確實……是姐弟嗎？51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXe0AB3vQnQ
51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfm25xq8YQa
米迦勒的年紀恐怕早就破百……甚至是千了吧。51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8zwZzgdRST
（米迦勒是不是從來沒把我當作一個男人……）51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQqydJJCs6l
我垂下頭，感到一陣失落。51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA43yO52Ew4
「確實，我身高像個小學生，連這件西裝也是特地拿去改短的……」51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHp7s0nGTu0
我喃喃自語著。51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQgN7y6p9eu
「方便的話，請出示一下您的證件……」51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWsq2FuLTVq
一旁的服務生語氣尷尬地說著。51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkqJ2rQG3UO
---51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrIm1hYLnQ4
「我們開動吧！」服務員端上色香味俱全的高級餐點。51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGQONma6L29
我帶著一絲期待看向米迦勒。51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8FoD5RRsd8
「不，緋夜大人，我記得我說過，天使不用吃東西也沒關係。」51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRkxcdK2upH
「緋夜大人吃就可以了。」51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz3aY6A9DTB
她微笑著說。51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsyEFfYaDA7
51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwL3N9wndLu
「可是……可是！」我焦急地說著。51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpsHktk7fbH
51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqlWN5Ulrb9
「而且這看起來是在人類世界相當高級的食物呢……」51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4l7MGV0aw0
她望著眼前的料理，若有所思。51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgy3tJKVtDL
「憑緋夜大人的財力，有點困難吧……」51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7mDfm7a4PW
51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFOasufCHyK
「您該不會去借高利貸！」51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfCW93UVZLJ
「我才沒有啦！」51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtAHL9NjbEe
51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9EM1LDAVFg
「我還是有點積蓄的……」當冒險者也五年了。51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx2tkxW2RYE
「所以想帶米迦勒一起來吃點好吃的東西……」我低聲說著。51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF0HQuzTHdz
（但怎麼跟我想像中的反應完全不一樣。）51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbAar5jNfIY
果然，還是把我當成要照顧的弟弟吧！51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEySHaWqPiM
51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG1FOFJTnvZ
米迦勒看著我緊張的模樣，腦中靈光一閃。51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqKPGXJbWqs
（對了，要讓緋夜大人建立自信才行！）她想通了。51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBIdcozWc6w
「我知道了，那我就不客氣了，緋夜大人。」51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlYzgim9jSf
她拿起叉子說著。51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRKqcVXgoWv
「嗯……嗯！」我高興地回應。51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0W2CleZD38
51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ82NvmB6p35
---51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAwnBXsrsU7
吃完後，我們走出餐廳。51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC1L2eN5XRL
「我們再來去買衣服吧！」我開心地提議。51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUuktTESZun
「給米迦勒穿的！」51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ45wSBQ8zzb
我走在前方，米迦勒則靜靜地跟在我身後。51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiNSpoubbjW
51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvoTVT2foW4
（天使不能將人間的東西帶回天界……）51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHJJSzjBWbi
米迦勒望著我興奮的背影。51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrVf5Zpw0hJ
（但如果現在說出口，他可能又會陷入低潮……）她一邊思考。51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWhwjHkkTB6
（總之，今天就照著緋夜大人想做的事去完成吧。）51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQLG02093YX
這一切，都是為了幫他重建信心。51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUJPOvkYVck
51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw0ZOeOPSxe
在服裝店裡試穿了各式各樣的衣服，最後選了一件白色的洋裝。51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXoQZYa0dTH
接著去看了一場表演，也逛了許多熱鬧的攤販。51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKoT89uFivJ
還趕走很多來搭訕米迦勒的人。51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYy8VXGPwC4
51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPwWqMcJFeN
太陽漸漸落下，傍晚的光線灑在兩人身上。51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡumPFRDAPIz
51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk3B8gSKzhB
---51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8QKAXiFSiF
最後，我們來到了山頂的展望台，這裡能俯瞰整座小鎮的燈火。51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcjtZJkZlyb
「那個……」我緊張地開口。51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡowP8FfMqKm
「米迦勒，今天開心嗎？」51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBnlOCE9OWP
我轉頭望向她。51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡodhSS4gbTT
51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHK1wwkr1vn
她也轉頭看著我。51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU7NE4234di
「嗯，謝謝你，緋夜大人。」51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡblJtrnnCZy
「我很開心。」米迦勒笑著說。51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2jqfIE476y
今天，對了解人類現在的文化是個不錯的一天——她心中這樣想著。51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡun7XGFOw16
51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEejN16kLyZ
（看來我之前太專注在了解魔界製造的魔物強度了……）51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeHBmuCMF0s
她轉頭望向閃爍的小鎮燈光。51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo2m9fJRkgB
（人類……是需要這種放鬆與釋放壓力的生物……）51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrOe3f4pIVr
米迦勒默默地想著。51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpE9eD2pL0D
51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdotgTvrAYb
人類是神所創造、擁有最多情感的存在，可以說是最複雜、最多樣、也是……最脆弱的生物。51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyk7vlDLGyV
大多數人類很容易受到魔界的影響，尤其是那些擁有權力與財富的領導者。51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPdLnTNqDm1
結果往往導向人類毀滅的結局。51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPsQb3tdsKK
51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9oeHFL2HPM
（天使不能直接干涉人類世界……）51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuSfPDlcgFk
人類的命運，只能由他們自己決定。51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr9LnYEjMfx
（我所能做的……）51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyPbZEgNRgK
她看向男主的背影。51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvymdCxbR8x
（就只有回應他的召喚，在他需要的時候幫助他……）51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqCkhtJQS4p
51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuuPZ1Y1MYn
一旦他變強，就不再需要我了——這就是召喚魔法的真諦，只會回應「弱者」的呼喚。51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv21uJH3DOK
51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7SP6xuEpPV
「有機會再這樣一起逛逛人類世界吧。」51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIWvCTbjoTY
米迦勒微笑著說。51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUVq5CE24KQ
51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlMnTQQf3lG
我低下頭。51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7imRHzheiZ
「米迦勒……」我開口說。51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsnuOYg2YEh
「其實今天邀妳約會，是因為……」51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAR4bro2fYK
我握緊拳頭。51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡggidulqnCj
（我已經下定決心了……沒錯……）51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP31gA3BSPo
我在心裡默念。51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiDF1Bb0EI7
51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZcNUVlMmw6
「我不會再召喚你了。」51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCzUOZOj2M8
我終於說出口。51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ28DamoI4Ic
51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlosBJglYmX
米迦勒愣在原地，看著我。51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBnBaBK1pwh
「這是……為什麼？」51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf8NHjtNxuO
她的聲音微微顫抖。51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBD2FZk4dQ3
51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDbXmLZRxIa
「因為，我太弱了。」我說。51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtMjiSwc3Wx
「如果我死了，米迦勒就會無法回到天界！」51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUBfy16ux0G
「我不想讓那種事發生，所以……」51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRuR0CzswVH
這樣，對我們兩個都比較好。51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPyemDJKrmv
51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjw9DrAF7fv
米迦勒是透過我，才能來到這個世界的。51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEafLy5IwAi
如果因為我，讓她永遠無法回去……51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp1pPSsyze5
我不願意……我不要！51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSaydZ4GsbX
51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiuvg2Q2GHK
米迦勒凝視著我，緩緩開口。51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpGcPCjS5JG
「不用擔心，緋夜大人。」51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmmDLFZ1chX
「這是我自己的選擇，就算發生了，也不是您的錯。」51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCVxukbnHqV
「是我沒有『保護』好您。」51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuw838DpDsk
她說完，靜靜望著我。51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEQS7u8kCZv
51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡisJHKqyLj5
「我不要你的『保護』。」51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtqu9lrCVGe
她的瞳孔微微顫動，凝視著我。51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB7s0oLmEgi
51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU2JiYVgUu3
「我也想變強啊！」51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡljHNgDnkUa
我忍不住激動地喊了出來。51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSMeV3JtZKW
「我也想自己打倒魔物啊！自己生活！自己賺錢！」51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWXnUMT0mQC
「我明明這麼努力！」孤身一人成為冒險者。51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjnBnFIBFyF
「結果卻完全沒有變強！」永遠的E級。51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡed8YoMRhlN
「所以我想要一個夥伴，可是……」51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjSHyf1tmZu
51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡktLwf1zLfw
「你太強了。」51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnCPT8rDHET
我看向米迦勒，她震驚地看著我。51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡviwArgtYX5
51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuasTeKI5sB
我一開始，根本不是想召喚天使。51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdJP7xVdGtQ
我只是想要一隻能陪我戰鬥的幻獸。51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0UiC8MmPBg
當「米迦勒」出現在我房間時，我完全震驚了。51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMuDg9e4hl3
她是人類的模樣，會說話，能戰鬥，還能成為冒險者，人人都喜歡她。51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL8yN2oFA2N
但是……51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCg5Vk6VWhI
51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8HPDOo9Ni4
「這樣根本就不是夥伴……」51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeT2qzQXu7N
在米迦勒眼裡，我永遠只是被保護的對象。51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbZ1buhxqox
在她身邊，我永遠只是個累贅、拖油瓶。51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYsUDVw3Fy1
我們注定不是同等的存在，是最弱的我，與最強的她。51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP3GACXT2aW
51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5uQE1bs49V
「我今天帶妳逛城鎮，就是為了跟妳道別。」51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnDz8Cu5HC4
畢竟天使已經三百年沒來人類世界了。51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnaXVHjptAc
「希望未來，會有其他人召喚妳。」51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaMplL4aN7B
這樣我也不會留下遺憾了。51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwEM4nwpSPg
51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwmOmDNJy2Q
（我還有要做的事，我得找到我的父母，所以……）51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkwHwTnVUuo
（我必須自己變強才行。）51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMu5s8WdiVm
我抬起手，雙手合十。51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtXoegpvFsA
51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfJlrhvUFAo
「等等，緋夜大人！」51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEWYlRCECKv
米迦勒焦急地伸出手，想說什麼。51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvn5HMizxQX
51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD4CiElsA5B
「再見了，米迦勒。」我低聲說。51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCYijnalEDP
「能與妳相遇，我真的很開心。」51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgTn8ilmJc0
我關閉了，與『大天使米迦勒』之間的召喚通道。51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlGT5SKfBWS
51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5SKNaA6KKM
米迦勒的身影在我面前消失，只留下她身上那件純白的洋裝。51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0JoB9xeYnd
51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7DMbWudePu
我站在原地。51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrJtGhyRSBV
「喵！」焦糖從我的衣服裡鑽了出來，51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIM74DqZPyY
牠那三條尾巴，在夜色中閃著微光。51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpU6OzELdvl
「焦糖……」我歪腰撿起地上的洋裝。51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgKjpZBVNBe
「如果下一個召喚物……能是你的同類就好了。」51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAqI8tsC51M
我手中拿著那件洋裝，望向寧靜夜色下的小鎮。
