在某個中世紀風格的村莊內，一對少年男女正在夜空下圍著營火烤綿花糖。541Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeln9cjhsSG
少年束著深啡色的短辮子，背上掛著一長一短的雙劍，腰間別了一支短弩，樣子就像是個經驗豐富的年輕冒險家。541Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU1grlQlRjm
而少女約莫十七歲，紮了一雙及肩的淺棕雙馬尾，身穿畫著紅色十字的短袖白袍，一副端莊的牧師模樣。541Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEgBwUYp1k5
541Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeFEGePCoB6
「抱歉啊，秋葉。」541Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeYuN84nVtC
少年突然的道歉打破了沉默。541Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR11iP7tj7h
叫作秋葉的牧師少女有點吃驚，抬起頭呆呆地望向少年。541Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf0plo1dUYe
541Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCqYXEz5vEd
「怎麼了，西維爾？為什麼忽然道歉？」541Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8WqanmddO6
秋葉抽出腰包裡的毛巾細致地為少年擦汗。541Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRh0Yfocoke
541Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ73zMnPWXoT
541Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHEfZMBwh3p
「明明再過三天就要成婚了，居然還要接下冒險任務……」541Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMr0zB9fjNJ
原來是這樣。秋葉微微一笑，伸指戳向西維爾的額頭。541Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVosgY0UYzF
541Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf6eoCqjMNF
「任務是我說要接的。不用內疚。」541Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUVohAezaQs
秋葉把軀體靠了過去，伸手把少年抱入懷裡。541Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcenDQYynvC
起伏的胸口感觸讓少年有點害羞，他連忙縮開。541Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg6EA1gNAcp
541Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmPqPJEBFEq
「未婚妻的擁抱不舒服嗎？為什麼跑開？」541Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡohdYvRuOXy
「我……執行任務前要是太幸福的話，感覺會遲鈍的。」541Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFWPn8WtmiZ
「本來你就遲鈍啊。要不然，應該更早之前就該知道我的心意。」541Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq6OnLmt0d5
541Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡczhoFXwflz
541Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSQV0g8jAh4
541Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡla5NV79RnM
541Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1pOrUDrLtZ
541Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtmJcZU9MAz
兩人的故事從十二年前開始。541Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9uNuZBnNZV
秋葉是從遙遠東方遷徒至西方大陸的其中一個移民。她隨父母渡海時年方五歲。541Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0W4GvSMuJa
她的父母選擇了一處鄉村定居。透支了一輩子旅行的他們決定在此終老一生。541Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpeXNu64lCN
雖然是個有著異國風名字的外來移民，但長著一頭亮麗棕髮和遺傳了東方移民嫩白膚質的秋葉很受男孩歡迎。541Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP8Pdytyavz
也因此，嗜吃甜食的秋葉時常從男生群中搶奪糖果，而大部分男生也會刻意退讓。541Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXGcOj32t2T
除了一個叫西維爾的男生。541Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQhic5ylp9j
他在秋葉奪過糖果時竭力掙扎，卻被秋葉動手打翻在地。541Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK06PgL0ugI
541Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1PXi3fTIsi
541Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡecr7W80DXS
此後秋葉時常糾集朋黨聯手欺負他，因此，西維爾整整一個童年都沒有糖吃。541Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbpA6Mi3WWU
541Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc9oMwhSoq1
只是到了後來，兩人年紀漸長，西維爾已經不再是體格矮小任人欺負的男生了。541Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdImrECy1SX
不過少年仍然會習慣性的存下午餐僅有的甜點留給秋葉搶走。541Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcdcEYyjhAR
等秋葉注意到他那不自覺的溫柔的時候，也許是出於感動，也許是出於歉疚，她緊緊的抱住了西維爾。541Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbiEAUMZwO5
不論如何，兩人沒有來由的初戀就由此而起。541Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrCAFgyJWy6
541Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq7Ln3wcdz0
這片大陸並不和平。不知為何，每過幾年就會傳出墓地屍變的傳聞，來源不明的僵屍群和吸血蝙蝠在荒原迴盪。541Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJKqVrYPOiI
幸而，兩人所在的村子附近並沒有它們的縱影。541Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxrXn4zYq5Y
其他苦受僵屍徘徊之苦的村鎮不惜重金聘請冒險者驅逐死靈，而西維爾，也在其中之列。541Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡphkbb06KzU
為了他，秋葉向村中牧師拼命修練白魔法，希望能為西維爾燙貼身上的傷。541Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb098cZUk76
541Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡri83sLGsRT
數年過去，兩人的團隊已經成了村中的驕傲，以僵屍殺手的名聲聞名四野。541Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkmwd8SW9WB
西維爾以獨創的劍術，精心打造的弓弩和豐富的野外求生知識打響了名頭，而秋葉則以超越師父的治癒魔法跟針對死靈的驅魔術聞名。541Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfbpmcfwbnB
541Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8uIGUQFixY
541Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡay7620h05f
541Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHwh9M9gVOV
兩人在弱冠之年賺了一筆不少的錢，並決定在結婚後退隱。541Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡodErQhaCnN
英姿勃發的西維爾和溫柔婉約的秋葉，兩人在村中是人人稱羨的情侶。541Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnbrOlukPNZ
541Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjniEb9E5dp
在訂婚後數日，兩人所在的村子忽然發生僵屍襲擊。541Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPezchMnvlb
這是前所未有的事。僵屍從未於這村子附近活動過，感到不安的秋葉為了家人接下了清除僵屍的任務。541Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBrUMatnA1m
現在，兩人在營火下作最後休息。541Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVykRsbhVmA
541Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvUeLOpD95h
「還在想退隱的事？沒辦法啊，你也不想婚禮時有僵屍闖進來吧？」541Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFdSc7i5cbd
秋葉調侃著未婚夫。541Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrG4l7nGpYr
「唉，我只是覺得，為什麼在婚前才出現異常？」541Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYt2zYs9qGE
「那就解決掉啊，為了我們的將來。」541Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsDHJaYDjGh
秋葉再一次把西維爾擁入懷裡，雪白的手臂包覆著少年的脖子。541Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPheckAq4aO
這次少年沒有推開，雙眼直盯盯的望著秋葉的胸口。541Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtfcTZfSpCb
541Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4yjtEYbjvE
「為什麼以前都不見妳那麼溫柔？」541Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8z3PnxP32d
541Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡckMXUlhxrn
541Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLuACZKAFOX
「大概是女生結婚前的真情流露。541Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIsqJ4uKtvj
安心啦，婚後我一樣會溫柔對你。」541Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp8L19W22FA
541Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlhxgVp0dxm
在秋葉的安撫下，西維爾在未婚妻的懷裡安穩地睡了一夜。541Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD6rPnC7Y2Y
541Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDcvJTe2LHD
541Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpdWAo6VYNv
541Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1LL8cdU4vc
感覺到刺眼的陽光後，兩人同時甦醒。541Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOMTZd24kea
純粹的死靈生物在陽光下難以活動。死靈魔法在陽光下難以維持效果，因此僵屍們會自行回歸山洞等待下一個夜晚。541Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZaJCVvGPAa
西維爾決定尾隨屍群，查看僵屍的歸處是不是有死靈法師在操縱。541Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHDZfDPWIiR
541Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpt3IKIVoDZ
「九成的僵屍都朝同一處山洞進發。幾乎可以肯定背後有人從中作梗。」541Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT5n4mV9dBk
西維爾一邊迅速獵殺僵屍，一邊確認僵屍前進的位置。541Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb5iwa62LUF
「要小心喔。既然僵屍很集中，那就代表洞裡的戰鬥會非常艱苦。」541Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6joz3bCDvJ
「對。所以要乘現在盡量減少僵屍的數量。」541Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhspFE1Tyj5
541Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAo3bpKjVo4
541Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvUhMcFGphZ
少年邊說著，邊以弩箭貫穿了一隻僵屍的腦袋。541Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCVvOgsI5cS
541Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlBJbdNrOhb
兩人走到了僵屍集中的洞口。541Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR43UEyZhVi
預計的僵屍數目有近五十隻。追殺的路程上擊斃十五隻，剩下來的大概不到四十隻了吧。541Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3JFXjtok3Y
對兩人來說，只是時間問題。541Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuYUt2P8Xuv
不過為了保險起見，兩人還是在洞口設置防線，一來為了呼叫補給隊運送物資，二來為了防止掉隊的僵屍不會在他們進入洞內後前後夾擊。541Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8OBW3wp0by
541Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1Bls5gqyaJ
「對了秋葉。會不會後悔移民到西方？」541Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxd7l9NsaXT
西維爾在目送補給隊離開時，嘴上忽然冒出這麼一句話。541Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOxT6XqFpIh
541Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSxcWVkGeJY
「你突然在說什麼……如果後悔，那我就回東方了喔？」541Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpSJvJxBV4a
秋葉不由得給了他一個爆栗。541Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP0sM9HddCU
541Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHDyHWKxES1
「我的意思是，東方大陸沒那麼多的變異生物吧？541Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2B8QlPTCNi
要不要在婚後，一起重回妳的家鄉定居？」541Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡngZD7yQsQW
541Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiWIWL4QRj8
541Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm063oKB58h
「……你想得太美好了。要是家鄉美滿，我們又為什麼要走？541Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU9kv5n5YTS
比如，有一家莫名其妙的暗殺者家族四處誘拐兒童什麼的。」541Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ26bcKM5N0r
「可是……妳想想，你們一家在這兒真的快樂嗎？」541Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOIQ1fgSiJ0
541Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXRATQxfFoD
秋葉沉默不語。541Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡljDoUjyb56
父母是沒有生產力的移民，在村中備受冷眼。541Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8DAadK77Wr
這也是秋葉積極參與任務的另一個理由。除了保護戀人，她也要保護家人。541Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtNxudjvZ5V
要是沒有她，恐怕父母將毫無維生手段。541Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRYYxmd5S9F
541Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡouCY1NYuba
「有你在，我就快樂。別想那麼多啦。」541Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3uGNK2dkqf
「決定了。即使不回去居住，至少我也要跟妳去那邊旅行一次！541Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZlZPXXp2lP
對吧？阿基……阿雞……」541Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoG3npGYowu
西維爾試圖用秋葉故鄉的語言念她的名字，卻怎麼也發不好音。541Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyHOaDJ8AFY
541Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGp4x9qpocw
「……秋葉（Akiha）。用你們平時的稱呼就好。」541Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡptw9B7Aog9
秋葉笑著嘆了口氣。541Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnZbjERMXI6
村人一直沒叫過秋葉的本名，而是為她取了個當地語言的暱稱。541Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡahK6Uu3IPK
大概就是「紅葉」這樣的意思吧。541Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQKjKqaWDDR
541Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBUOxCIE23H
「總之，約好了。541Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNXdhqWmz3N
在我們愉快的退休生活中，其中一環就是四處旅行。」541Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzAudy8fhRb
「……那又何必退休。退治任務一樣能四處走啊。」541Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoiwoV0aP3N
「那不同！背著一身裝備跟旅行一點關係都沒！」541Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXHp1chEJHG
「知道啦知道啦。約好了就行了吧？」541Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdGEraur8Db
秋葉邊敷衍邊推揉著西維爾。541Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNQ1BVt6kGr
541Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTW6w6XPVwd
單純得數十年如一日的少年，是她最好的禮物。541Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVT12tgvsVd
拋棄家鄉的迷茫和悲傷都已消散。已經不再在夢中看見故鄉的風景了。541Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx7g0ki3w9J
541Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgKgB7JQbSR
這是最後了。541Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxbTPb0WNSg
也許這僵屍事件只是意外。541Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCMzVUTUGW3
解決了之後，世界就會重拾安寧吧。541Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaJDlKKWsL9
每一片角落都有寧靜的風景，不必回到故鄉去找。541Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfohHMvjAcS
有你所在，無處不是家。541Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMgwPx0EWiX
541Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFWb6WP0E4y
541Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzbCbYNYUTb
541Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRTpvFQFwdS
541Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8BkWtYuGVl
541Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjB3REBbEZ6
541Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9zmNQOWAfo
541Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhQHu8Ew1bU
「秋葉，緊閉鐵門！」541Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs3Iwp8cUA4
在接連不斷的僵屍圍攻下，兩人勉強尋到了喘息機會。541Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi37xZygPly
少女在戀人進門之後，用力推上了鐵門。541Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYpxH6SzsgF
541Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjQujET710B
僵屍的數量遠遠超過了五十隻。541Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl7I3DDsijT
而且明顯有幕後操控者。僵屍的行動並不是毫無戰術，而是等兩人大意進洞後，大群遊蕩的僵屍才尾隨進洞展開夾擊。541Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ09dmt8AsWE
541Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ8W4bc7zNK
在不斷糾纏之下，兩人已迷失了離開的方向。541Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSXoF9sKsxn
即使如此，秋葉和西維爾仍然保持冷靜。541Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKwPlzkVAHX
畢竟這不是他們第一次身陷險境。541Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyPZH6BJwP1
541Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsFBLBWKSBO
「雖說我們被算計了，但遠不到絕望的時候。」541Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkb54hZZftp
「對。幕後黑手就在眼前，只要解決他，僵屍就不再有人指揮。」541Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN0lJWsoHBA
541Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCA9Z6BlMAd
兩人深知突圍也沒用。541Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSyR54meBE4
僵屍全堵在洞口，在那邊貿然消耗只會被黑手可乘之機。541Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCfRCjabnjv
倒不如強行深入，在被打倒之前擊斃首腦。541Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKbjuzioVG5
541Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU27PAWzWLC
成功潛入洞穴最深處。541Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxAFdsSThSk
裡面燃著火把，也有基本的生活用具。541Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJOGxC5e538
一個人類背對著兩人，正向著牆壁施法。541Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkYKtQ7McYk
541Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp4SmN6EYL5
大概是召喚用的傳送門之類，一隻隻僵屍從傳送門中步出。541Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc2tf2wpFIV
西維爾不發一言，無聲的抬起短弩。541Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcpVG8kxFSL
咻的一聲，一根弩箭從面門刺入，貫穿了那名法師的頭顱。541Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKbb5EXLCff
541Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡThB0j2D50i
結束了。541Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ97WpelB4iE
這是連僵屍都能殺死的致命傷。541Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHtD5T9RAFs
541Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYqmqCoAIWB
秋葉慢慢地接近了傳送門試圖關閉它，西維爾則確認了屍體。541Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA3BwXbVlMJ
「這……這傢伙……」541Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDlXUlB7ygM
「是任務委託者？！」541Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ6zVuEmB8h
541Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0HJHXOX6cR
男屍的面貌正是當初給他們任務的人。541Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCFs1LC5haz
他難道處心積慮想要引兩人過來？541Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡup4gu6CGNB
不過他已徹底死去，真相大概會被埋藏起來吧。541Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ61r0KAq0eL
541Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCbkWKZUoto
門外突然傳來嘈雜的響聲。541Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡex1YilGtiT
「僵屍回到這兒來了？！為什麼，不是都解決了操控者了嗎！」541Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡStJTt49TTo
秋葉感到事情正向最壞的方向發展。541Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbMrwfYdjJM
「秋葉，專心解除傳送門！門口我來擋住！」541Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsjRlJdHIjo
西維爾拔出雙劍，像是牆壁似的擋在了門前。541Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO7yjbFLzS2
541Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1Z6cELYEMR
少年前所未有的快劍掃除著大量僵屍。541Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLcSZvjtQh5
雙劍的起落可謂風雨不透，多少僵屍同時沖擊都沒能突破。541Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC7I1Ru7Q66
但如此消耗體力的劍舞又能支撐多久？541Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8efdFh0Jna
541Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFXq4dRUs0p
只能寄望在秋葉解除魔法之後，能夠剩下一點餘力試圖突圍。541Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡir625cm8KU
541Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNTZqYLzh9N
「呀！西維爾小心！」541Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcOm16gfjnn
「？！」541Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMLNpx1Yvhn
541Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9nYpBlThQA
從傳送門後湧出了巨大魔力。541Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4NdKFnNbjt
秋葉及時閃避，西維爾聽到警告也急忙移開腳步。541Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡllsqcoX5ru
可是，大門被巨大的魔力擊中，開始倒塌。541Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2iAKSLW1Sc
連忙翻滾閃避的西維爾，右腳被僵屍揮下的斧頭劈中。541Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡphiiCFxWcy
541Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ94XWk7EsZ
同時，沒有秋葉干擾的傳送門裡撲出了一隻僵屍。541Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcW4lucHTIq
它直直衝向倒地的西維爾。541Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3GMeoGEYrG
541Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡni4uh70xoQ
「休想！」541Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAJDwWUuuJS
秋葉雙手凝聚了全身的魔力。541Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu7NiDmaP1Q
少女以全身的力道撞向僵屍，同時左手按住了僵屍的頭顱，以白魔法一擊破壞了它的腦袋。541Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡamABky26cZ
但秋葉絲毫不停，直直向傳送門突進。541Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0TvnC2blhH
541Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnPvJwMx835
傳送門就差一口氣就能關閉。541Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ55Dj9DeUka
無數僵屍正要在傳送門裡湧出。541Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡenzH3h7NpC
秋葉感到自己從未如此勇敢。541Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6s3mst3ZuD
541Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0icmVvOvqj
「要活下去啊！約好了！」541Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3wTtMJZEzV
「秋葉－－－－！」541Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6qIcKzOcNr
541Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYRdTv0QsyP
少女雙手同時按在傳送門上。541Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk5OLcNRaVw
強烈的白光閃動。541Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRE5YDKItHj
541Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWmg5Y4q6rb
在西維爾視力回復後，秋葉和傳送門皆已不見縱影。541Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy6DrUUYMYG

541Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUUCNBEe0yy
重新睜開眼睛的秋葉，只看到一處密室。541Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKlwO1MKV7l
裡面並沒有僵屍，只有一個穿著黑袍的人。541Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoYq16csk3E
蒼老得快要死去的人。只能坐在王座上，連站起來也沒有力氣的老人。541Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7Jm9usZ7xu
541Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaStFfWbs9X
「初次見面，秋葉。」541Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2uVQrfnQI2
辨不出是男是女的聲線。541Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx7Nyutb1V9
「你是誰？我認識你嗎？西維爾呢？」541Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI8cQmE95Wc
541Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSDlLDa8I2o
老人臉上浮現了惡毒的笑容。541Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJZU8KwxePx
「他沒死。真頑強啊，居然在單腳受傷後還能一人衝破重圍。」541Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq3ifM8TzlM
「看來你才是幕後操縱者？」541Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEjUopO1JW8
541Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuosEIKD1Bq
「對。你們的委託人早就是我的吸血奴僕，是我吩咐他把你們引來的。」541Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWFEB14XbjV
「……為什麼？」541Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwxm4JlXUTw
「小姐，知道吸血鬼嗎？」541Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqe1TlW1DuR
541Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuQmlbQzjFI
秋葉雖然沒看過實物，但還是從白魔法書籍裡看過。541Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJBdzw7ll42
擁有千年以上的壽命，需要吸血來維持自身，是人類畏懼的存在。541Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpYpJWqJAPO
541Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX7BXxxtAVF
「知道那又如何？」541Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv0gdVPhLP6
「又到了一千年了。我需要下一個身體。」541Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5qIU1w6VVU
541Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAvLenxMGrQ
秋葉臉色不變，拔出袖底的小刀指向自己的胸口。541Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkuu3QKVD9s
「我很忙，謝謝再聯絡。」541Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvD0vrBWAPK

「……你為什麼知道那麼多？」541Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFB7i0oR16n
「我知道你們快要成婚了，才故意把你們引來。」541Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM3it03WkSb
541Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdQZYRifvfc
秋葉微微咋舌。541Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQE0P4xs73O
這傢伙有意針對自己，連情報都搜集得那麼細。541Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAIG18PJ5Ul
541Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDp3EeQe0Yy
「不賭一下嗎？自殺了就什麼都沒有了。541Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyPVIQREeQH
要是與我融合，也許妳還能跟我爭奪一下身體的控制權呢？」541Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMtnxG2dbx0
「姑且聽聽好了。我該怎麼做？」541Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvCLaFowKOS
「用妳擅長的白魔法，把這具軀體毀掉。我的靈魂就能脫離身體。」541Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLgmAvUcfXs
541Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtQ9Un3bJJ4
吸血鬼用乾涸的聲音嘿嘿笑著。541Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOPY87ktMDy
秋葉卻一點都沒有驚慌。541Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRDkmjOttfK
541Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOLgivytNqV
「你連自殺的力量都沒有了？」541Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkDEuvAjQTL
她冷眼看著吸血鬼，彷彿她才是佔優的一方。541Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuLgka7QOgY
「……541Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEGRKZtOJB1
如妳所見。」541Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQW9mZudfPi
吸血鬼不太情願地承認了這一點。541Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWPlJZIfhlS
541Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEIXrgREZ7P
「那為什麼我要聽你的？」541Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxyKhboV3At
「不然妳就餓死，然後我繼續發動僵屍找妳的未婚夫代替。541Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtB8kh2HaSM
慢慢考慮。千年我都能等，不差這一點點時間。」541Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZuLDNpNHJQ
541Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdOoQNTw8zD
雙方陷入了短暫沉默。541Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8yj6WPLlm5
541Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRtTVhY3dlO
「能問一下嗎？針對我們的理由……還有，即使那麼痛苦，仍然要活下去的理由。」541Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9TYdxLisiJ
「什麼痛苦？！我現在不知道有多愉快！」541Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvgggiwgbPu
541Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzKigiDk1MW
秋葉張望了一下四周的環境。541Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe4SDX6Lkwd
她不覺得這兒是世界的一部分。541Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqjxOS9R6kc
她只覺得處於世界盡頭的虛空，雖說沒有痛苦骯髒的感覺，但也沒有希望。541Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡakS78SrLty
541Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP28Ck8XHF7
「在這兒待一千年究竟是有什麼愉快？」541Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9HgQCNusGZ
「比如，可以破壞別人的幸福，可以親眼看著可悲的妳永遠也看不見戀人的模樣！」541Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG1dP60FJmT
541Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIvPCiiFDGR
秋葉的心像被狠狠鎚打了一下。541Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6uKOq3NqJa
「……為什麼你愛看這些？」541Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTREBTvPluq
「我恨人類。我恨這個世界。我什麼都怨恨。541Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFObovBcmnA
只有看著你們絕望的樣子，我才感到樂趣。」541Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrYfJxmqKSZ
541Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT6QDaJllck
秋葉嘆了口氣。541Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHAkyNZx9nR
小屁孩活幾千年，也只活成了老屁孩。541Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5peYLhs0NC
541Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo0g0vCWNNB
「再姑且問問。你換過多少次身體？」541Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOGXuxiPxGb
「……問這個幹什麼？大概三次吧。」541Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv8fF7Lbvm6
「一千年一次？都沒有離開過？」541Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8k9DCAmlol
「對。又關妳什麼事？」541Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp64dWE8m2I
541Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlVNQGCjJAB
「我感覺你比較可悲。」541Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtrulFAdgAd
秋葉不禁露出一副看著智障的眼神。541Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBroedDwMKB
「可……可悲什麼？」541Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzEQsPcVYlb
541Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnm8ni82wS1
「即使是吸血鬼，靈魂也有存續的限制。541Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQSfu8qcEga
換了身體也不能挽救你靈魂的衰老。就算我跟你合作，你依然沒有哪怕站起來的力量。541Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy16hFEThBC
你連愛都沒有能力。」541Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdASfKDUJ4I
「難道妳就有了嗎？！妳還不是要一生待在這兒？！」541Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4CAaXEiJeo
吸血鬼大聲怒吼。541Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0RQF7h0pXS
541Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPIOXbcbs8w
「曾經有過。不，現在我依然有愛的人。」541Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNdpJ5B4249
541Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3GiFrCwCtU
吸血鬼的嘶吼逐漸啞了，秋葉聽見了他無聲的啜泣。541Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEvugzZE4cF
也許他也有過吧。只是三千年後，他也只剩下了無言的記憶。541Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC8Mimtc5lr
541Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHzIQ8KfzKY
「……妳說對了，但也別得意。」541Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2wzCrAQLSf
「我沒有得意什麼。」541Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCVTA7Nh1nq
「妳靈魂的同調率跟我很高。這也是我選擇妳的理由之一。541Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiWaVKiAMqJ
妳也有變成跟我一樣的潛質。妳自己想想，要是碰上了嫉妒，怨恨，孤獨這些感情，妳會不會跟我一樣？」541Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXtFV8H9FCL
「……」541Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBoFPybu8iz
541Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsDmnyKU4Fe
這下到秋葉無言了。541Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3WcrX98Fmg
541Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMm81OPpfhs
「我不否認。」541Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLNZcCJQF7N
「妳的陰暗面也許自己還沒發覺。雖然妳是人，但已經隱約有惡魔的雛型。」541Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb6g8RsUBIq
「人能成為惡魔，也能成為天使。541Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV8g7WSEil7
不……即使是惡魔，也能選擇成為人類或者天使。541Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ4YNtg0Pm6
你也是。」541Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtnpuvD3ZBq
541Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkxVGgSNfTP
吸血鬼還沒質問這句話的意思，就被秋葉的白魔法化為了灰燼。541Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ68YsEjhLVc

541Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxu46KhIlaR
541Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDq5WtaDbpI
在長年的夢中，秋葉看見了無名吸血鬼的夢境。541Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcn4iLX0AyF
大半是在虛空中渡過。可是，在原初的夢裡，也許還是有過幸福的事。541Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCkcsBTEZn7
他也有拼命守護過的事物。有過善良的本性。541Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSgSzqYUSb8
即使是現在，他也沒有完全否定過自己的善良，而是把自己當成受害者。541Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ22DPMbJqLd
因此想要報復。但沒有真正仇恨的對象，每次報復都只是對空氣揮空拳。541Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdQJBeC2SL1
541Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3koJKjipfE
吸血鬼一開始成功掌控了秋葉的身體。只是，他沒能像以往一樣，把原主人的靈魂消滅。541Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqm6LSEHJOJ
因為，這次他也看見了秋葉的夢。541Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1woOydGFjn
秋葉夢裡的西維爾，看起來就像三千年前的他。541Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxCS7FIE34v
他終於發現，死撐著活到今天的理由，就是為了記住自己曾經的溫暖。541Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6UZmiADA5e
541Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMf2JH0Hq0o
他居然開始擔心秋葉會否無聊，而把自己的死靈魔法知識傳給了她。541Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDyGYeY4diI
包括自己種族的歷史在內。541Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKx9JpoOjeT
也許已經無法挽回所犯下的錯。只是，秋葉只以微笑回應自己的道歉。541Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcOYuBKILXl
541Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcjsnyNK0KQ
秋葉在多年間苦苦周旋於死靈化的自己和千年吸血鬼的意識。541Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKLvm6bmXoO
從相互抵觸，憎恨直到近年間的互相學習和忍耐，秋葉感覺意識的融合開始沒那麼痛苦。541Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKHXHwVSOVv
直到吸血鬼的聲音再也不在腦裡出現後，秋葉相信他已在千年孤寂中獲得安寧。541Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCXjh2Td5Iz
最後的一段話是，感謝她在自己人生的終點，讓他回想起人與人之間的溫柔。541Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3iB3av2y03

541Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLiwgNLVs7n
541Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3Th7Gi5woX
多年間，秋葉第一次重新睜眼。541Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9u78KBZqhS
毫無疑問這身體已經死靈化。呼吸和進食都已經不是必需的事。541Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡybnzKC3mlV
身體沒有不適的感覺。也許無名的吸血鬼一直在活動這身體吧。541Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqm6WAWpCqH
只是感覺到他已經不在了。541Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKhv4Jo2hY8
541Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVNKJKJriIy
作為最後的禮物和道歉，吸血鬼即使耗盡靈魂，也把她送回了最初的那片山洞。541Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLFdkchBYma
他花了很多時間。強行撐起朽壞的靈魂，架設起回到現界的通道。541Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1MiKFSFkRE
也許靈魂已經老去，但只要能喚起真誠的心，仍能召來奇跡。541Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFU92ZHuvcZ
541Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2DzvwDMLox
那座倒塌的大門還是這樣沒變。地上是西維爾拋下的，已經生鏽的弓弩。541Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ44Zubr78jb
541Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwyRpIkoVgs
「……謝謝。你做得很好。541Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGSaPm79lXE
如果有靈魂的世界，我會再向你道謝。」541Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeqv90umqtG
541Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa98ScbLyZE
秋葉一抬手，強大的魔力把崩壞的大門打得粉碎。541Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPKYtcWfZrx
541Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcA1UrdT2nZ
彷彿像以往厭惡的死靈般從洞裡爬出。541Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvVD5ruO2yy
算是起死回生嗎？不，自己根本不算還活著了。541Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0mGZs3ScC0
從生到死走了一回，除了容顏未改，靈魂已完全跟死靈同化。541Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqybBJ81HdE
541Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvLb6d6DxiH
洞口設置了大量路障和符咒，但這絲毫擋不住秋葉。541Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBCOgyR3ezi
曾幾何時，明媚的日光竟照得眼睛刺痛。541Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGjTMpHVLWw
是吸血鬼化的原因，還是單純是多年沒照過太陽？541Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8A53qLPbRH
但即使皮膚灼痛，仍能感受到生命的芬芳。541Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvIvS4wH04z
541Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKsP0MWPsWS
循著久遠的記憶回到村裡。果然，已沒有人再認得自己。541Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHEbT1S1k2L
父母的舊居住著不認識的外人。打了聲招呼後得知，父母已是前幾代的住客。541Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCiBOsEMULh
－－詢問下得知，距離最後的任務已經過了二十年。541Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxOrDBnFcUi
541Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkg2gYGnfgC
是好是壞？541Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpJX4M6fxFr
雖然是及時回來了，但為什麼不只過幾天就好？541Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdKBBF1qjoD
那麼，她還能趕上婚禮時回來。541Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcQ0eMO1UuG
541Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMvUT3tKNjh
541Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPxR8a3JAG1
541Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7KFOy5ApLA
黃昏下各處家庭已亮著燈光。541Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyumGKADf0s
西維爾家門牌卻仍掛著他的名字。內心中不知是喜悅還是惆悵，秋葉輕敲了數次家門。541Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGDQi7jaOBw
好香的飯菜味道啊，好多年沒有聞過了。541Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ22DXNuGda6
541Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXuUihojdDa
大門敞開。541Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEPP8k5p5Nz
不認識的孩子叫著大姊姊。541Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxE2MRpQKxF
541Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP0DWefSzVk
秋葉顫抖著問道，這家裡有沒有叫西維爾的人。541Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu4NtKidLfB
孩子轉身喚了聲爸爸。541Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡakg8u9SDSK
比起失落，秋葉反而感到心上人無事生還的安心感。541Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9DParcvK0p
541Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEo65WZrC39
約定，沒有被打破。541Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ135MvmTdeW
541Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3zxBZXgYQU
「請問有什麼⋯⋯」541Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCuBT3wZbfQ
一名青壯年男子走了出來。541Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJqELiO5FPJ
看見秋葉，他連呼吸都停了半刻。541Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZD2eoiDAUW
記憶深處的女子，彷彿從夢裡走了出來。541Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIXRBnbWQul
541Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQNcWv8gcMX
「我很擔心你。幸好，被僵屍斬傷的腳沒大礙。」541Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGcBe4hAXYv
秋葉溫柔地笑著，就像當年把未婚夫抱在懷中的笑容。541Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgXtEib3hQ1
但再也沒法為他燙貼了。死靈的軀殼再使用白魔法的話將會崩壞。541Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWfxW197AUg
541Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgtj1zbCIpA
而且，他腳上有別人為他治療的痕跡。541Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPnPTnXH9lg
雖然不是魔法，但可以看出，同樣是溫柔女性的細心呵護。541Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSeTiYL3nxN
奇怪的是，完全沒有嫉妒。只覺得慶幸，這些年沒有自己的日子他並不孤單。541Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFbJAnRAs2y
541Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTHuAx0PCSA
「妳……沒有死？」541Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhzs2xAitP4
「怎麼說呢，也許我還有留戀吧。」541Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW4q2yPFEVz
541Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOKREc4Tl3R
其實已經沒有了。541Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGXW6NHzstg
他已經過得很好。541Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeaahU8OO7i
541Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡttoddEXhYH
西維爾突然緊緊抱住了秋葉。541Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkTtT8zBzp6
但就像當年推開未婚妻般，秋葉輕輕掙開了他。541Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuunuSuuHZk
541Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuOYcEjtd8u
「你知道我爸媽怎麼了嗎？」541Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIaCYmiDfnr
西維爾馬上低下了頭。541Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGvzBlYapZ7
在反覆追問下，秋葉得知母親在自己失縱的一天驚嚇過度去世，父親則於數年後孤獨地在家中嚥氣，直到西維爾例行前去探望時才發現了腐爛的屍身。541Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDaZTQK0z9Z
541Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWZVaXLfxd6
即使早已料到，秋葉仍不禁流下了淚。541Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSTfm7M8Leq
西維爾向妻兒報備後，兩人前往秋葉父母墓前參拜。541Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqVPiBLAFYW
541Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnkY9hbHNl8
「爸爸有沒有抓住你的手，要你把女兒還回來？」541Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs5YKu3Lirg
「什麼？沒……沒有……」541Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOfqKniOo1Y
西維爾慌張地辯駁。541Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtwjjwOWF37
541Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRhcWmjBcVt
「至少我比你了解他。沒關係，這絕對不是你的錯。」541Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡunXDwyJg25
「……秋葉。跟我一起走吧。無論過了多久，妳變成了什麼，我都一樣愛妳。」541Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ763hGsXIbj
參拜過後，西維爾在回程途中握住了秋葉的手。541Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu0Jths5ZPj
少女的愁容上出現了一絲笑顏。541Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaAK7NWMYma
541Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg5XXbujQQq
「人到中年還是個笨蛋。」541Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw9JYVimqLl
秋葉知道，西維爾不會虧待自己。541Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpKmQoeRyVp
所以－－自己才不能輕易破壞他已有的美好家庭。541Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡowMikkgO6c
541Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIdNKZaG6z3
「秋葉！我依然愛妳－－」541Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRObtd4W0OF
「回家吧。你妻子在等你吃飯。」541Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmEcKZ8pSGe
541Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAbMkKG8DZY
秋葉溫柔的抱著西維爾。541Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq0AqjPUrVk
541Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN4De0O53GP
未婚妻受了致命傷，繼而在礦坑掉入封印，誰都會認為她已不再生還。541Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiH07dJM7M9
那麼，續弦也算不上花心。要是他苦忍二十年不娶，秋葉反而會更傷心。541Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgswtOnMpJD
541Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD7ZmXlcHEI
541Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxqOjh97wXY
541Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOa78EJW5Zi
541Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2RHoDz6FnB
541Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmF0R5plCch
「很香的飯菜。你娶到了好妻子啊。」541Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSt4H8A36cs
這頓飯美味得能緩解心中的悲傷。541Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtA4r03BZNU
比起缺席二十年的自己，秋葉知道剛才忍心拒絕他是對的。541Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNrm5qhfj5L
541Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmkDXJ0bIl0
「老公，這女孩親近得感覺就像跟我們家認識了很多年呢。她是誰家孩子？」541Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoTo3u7eQbV
「朋⋯⋯朋友的孩子。」541Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy2mBdOfGXG
雖然是自己教他這樣說的，但西維爾口中這樣形容自己還是令秋葉百感交集。541Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIU4OGAbosv
541Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe5Fyvb4TdT
飯桌上，西維爾仍然習慣性地留下了一小份甜點。541Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFmnyRZ2qfA
可是現在會把它搶走的，變成了他的孩子。541Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3m2r3iws9I
541Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwyYB6Hkkhh
家中掛著當年的雙劍。其中長劍已經折斷只剩一半，短劍也早已生鏽。541Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZu4HRkJOxM
他這些年真的退休了吧？541Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyPFs3p6Iml
西維爾如今走路也一拐一拐的，似乎當時受了永久性的傷。541Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0YdfctHBYr
541Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfMRY2AKPCn
是該與過去永遠訣別了。541Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrJNWetOnzM
541Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYb7zNol6lp
541Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkhFLsx1pNk
541Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡliK4Z5k2zV
「了解現實了沒？」541Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGWQlavmLdL
飯後，秋葉像是教導孩子似的，對一把胡子的西維爾說教。541Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ5exxprsBb
「了⋯⋯了解。」541Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3NUYFct7w4
真沒辦法呢。秋葉拿出毛巾擦了擦西維爾臉上的淚水。541Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKr9Gsnujy7
541Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF8OLOxvRcN
「你妻子很賢淑，孩子很可愛。你已經有世上最好的家庭，即使我不在其中，也不值得遺憾。」541Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT9bPYgx4z6
「可是⋯⋯」541Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPW4mOx388f
「還可是什麼？剛才說得還不夠清楚？」541Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuiXOGQLncg
541Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoGWzIQ9cpS
西維爾像是在猶豫該不該說。541Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgUwFhmQJa4
終於，他鼓起勇氣大聲疾呼。541Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk2LDXt6PLV
541Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6mTyN0Dn95
「可是妳呢？！無論怎麼說，我都說過會照顧妳一生一世！難道我就能讓妳孤身一人？！」541Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVoPk20GnMY
秋葉到此終於忍不住為他流下淚水。541Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN1JxMe0QHF
對。秋葉完全沒法不介意。541Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4npwgKo8z5
自己苦等二十年，最終仍是這樣的結局。541Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwGoIz0Ahr2
541Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡshXWo745em
「⋯⋯那你有想過，我留在你家就會不孤獨嗎？541Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9iJu5pu1OO
我天天看著一個已經無法再回去的家庭，就會幸福嗎？」541Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb3kYKc5EJC
541Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp4lCCpFcEC
秋葉也許能融入吸血鬼的靈魂，但肯定再也無法融合西維爾的家庭了。541Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeSfmfrnuXM
吸血鬼缺乏人與人真誠的愛，但西維爾一家不缺。541Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ418DdFKvGo
秋葉知道，自己什麼都不能帶給他們。541Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh9LO6QYf4o
541Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlj13f8Vm8m
兩人相對無言。541Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6YTy6VCFrh
「⋯⋯以後，還能再見？」541Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4T9ogQYaX7
西維爾感到告別將至，低聲問道。541Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPWga9wZKEj
「等我能夠釋懷之後，會再回來。」541Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpk4CArZd1R
秋葉望著遠方的星星說道。541Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUYld8YGI6X
541Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUUG27cjRGf
「你也是。不用抱著歉疚感。總有一天我也能⋯⋯擁有能夠安心的地方。」541Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx0Uj9gEuLS
秋葉沒再等西維爾回話，化作了蝙蝠飛向遠方。541Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBcb0oN9A7w
這是她想到最婉轉的方式表明自己已成了吸血鬼。541Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxRAjbsSUuL
