約定 - Chp 20

在接下來前進的道路上，我基本都靠著路牌在走。449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFbIRZEhRtL
449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzh6X6jMvGr
不懂為什麼每當我詢問向路人問路時，起初大家都很親切地湊過來表示可以幫忙甚至有不少人說可以直接送我過去，直到大家在看到那地址後就紛紛突然有事情不然就變外地人表示什麼都不知道，一下子就逃得遠遠的。449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvb8GufShZR
449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvaET8eHU63
而看到這反應，我也深深覺得這其中一定有什麼貓膩。449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBbDIhjopJa
449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO4UxbS3R8Z
隨著離目的越來越近，周圍的建築物也越來越少，明明位於市區卻越來越荒涼。449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz7YtV46aAu
走了一段路，我看著周圍的草叢和四處插著歪七扭八的木牌，我看著已經沾滿鏽跡的路牌確認位置後，加快了腳步。449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAJpSYbtTUx
449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaD0e2F4MkV
快到了快到了。449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0nk8LvBqiz
在內心不斷安慰自己，盡量不讓自己東張西望。449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLqkzyximpJ
449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtCA6oDg30m
終於在走了一小段路穿過一片小樹林後，到達了目的地。449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkJJ2wl2IWY
出現在眼前的是一個看起來相當古老的西洋豪宅，老舊的房子上纏繞著蔓藤，屋前的小花園也已經年久失修，圍墻上也佈滿了苔蘚，看起來已經很久沒人居住的樣子。449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTf9trrkjxn
449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡetiGdPKasl
看著已經褪色的門牌確認地址無誤後，我費力地從生長在圍墻交錯的植物中找到了門鈴，按了下去。449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjG1cSIdjA6
449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNl206rTwu5
‘叮咚。’449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDZ5LEl2Kqo
449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPXvMo1ws1E
意外地能運作呢……也幸好還能用。449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5exKCcqC5e
449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfPmzZxpuQM
等了一段時間，裡頭都完全沒反應。449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhrrFYxudC7
449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7yNoUR59Z3
是沒人在嗎？449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKL9gm6zlhm
449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIn3z5Ijke7
再等了約莫五分鐘也完全沒反應，於是我舉起了手打算按多一次門鈴。449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlKTrAQjVbc
449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYHsuFTz1Au
咔噠。吱呀…….。449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZm2ENj3ORZ
449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXwDJ8ufvBK
一邊剛剛本來還關著的大鐵門突然自行打開，我被嚇得後退了兩步，然後從打開的隙縫裡望去。449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4goYO2RuPc
449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡONm8mDHs6b
沒人在那裡。449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3FfNcPO1zi
449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPi1rAzRzxa
我不自覺地往後退，然後背後開始感到涼颼颼的。449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz2MwDcXYAc
449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT8pmyOyRBr
再、再按一次門鈴好了。449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAfSldSHTDF
449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJLyeb51Tql
我大大吸了一口氣壯膽，再次按下了門鈴。449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAGZkvulZkL
這次門鈴完全沒有任何反應。449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUbYJ0QY3OI
449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBNxGtYhnnr
不會吧……449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNJaCJgqc3L
449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡchJtOeo2F2
我再按了幾下，還是沒反應。449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2p1lV36AiF
還是我把包裹放在門口……但這樣的話先不說我拿不拿得到簽收章，萬一它是什麼貴重物品就這樣放在門口不見的話…不對，就算不是貴重物品也是別人的東西，要慎重對待才行。449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTvEkf39e8K
449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFUZyf7G8nV
「哈嘍~有人在嗎——」449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzOKpCk6TZr
449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9lRuLFMZJ5
朝著被稍微打開的門往裡面喊，還是沒回應。449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9CknpVcjHS
還是我在門口蹲看看屋主什麼時候回來好了，隨便進人家的屋子不太……449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0252aATyVt
449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡISCtdkAz71
「…誰？」449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx8NWt7rO3B
449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡizDsSHHfDu
突然有一把低沉的聲音從裡面飄出來，我再次被嚇到抖了下身子。449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡchLR5axlhu
449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs3Ne1hXVWa
什麼啊，原來有人在啊，真是太好了。449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrHF0CDIFiJ
449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjuBQCIzuqH
聽到人聲我整個放心了不少。449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg6GTzXbnaX
449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ643GBG1Zbl
「您好，我是接受公會委託替身體抱恙的郵差前來的工作人員。這是您的包裹，需要勞煩您蓋簽收章。」449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw8pOSOsM8h
449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxQjhST5N64
另一端的聲音不知道是來自哪裡發出的，在附近完全沒看到類似對講機的設備，如果人是在屋子裡的話，對方聽起來又不像是用喊的。449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTB483zOODt
449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBB0tcf5Y5P
「……我知道了，進來吧，門開著。」449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsXwT2e0zz2
449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKd4YlM7Ckp
「.…..那我打擾了。」449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuktXMAvynr
449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY1PxPta4aD
我推開鏽跡斑斑的鐵門，踏進了一處有著白色涼亭的小型庭院，雖然本來應該是蠻漂亮的，但因為疏於打理整個庭院的植物都長得參差不齊，看起來有點亂。449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrOoxOWfdW0
把門關好之後我穿過庭院走到豪宅的門前，敲了敲門。449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLmTrDSJOCv
449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlni6sufpYh
「我開門咯。」449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQjH0zp2IsK
449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqwiL1H4pC4
在說完之後，在我轉開門把的那一刻，我感到庭院裡似乎有什麼一閃而過，躲進某處花圃裡。449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOid49cCZkD
449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY997kQDEwX
……錯覺吧。449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKryNoYEwL2
449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1h1bnu4MJl
我決定不做多想地進入房子，但在開門之後玄關沒人在。449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzvAG6CuhsW
449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIOJWDSXQvp
「.…..請問？」449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP8fLbxcRyL
屋子裡頭只有我的聲音在迴蕩，遲遲等不來回應。449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOE3xoFHGty
449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWj80AJhfVT
我鼓起勇氣踏進屋子，穿過走廊後走到了一個擺著各種藝術品的大廳。449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡweIEjtpWIY
449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbbuyzpw49i
「到二樓右邊最裡面的房間吧。」449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLoPYXw6nc0
449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgeR3kAyqRe
剛剛在門口應答我的聲音從樓上傳來，我也走向了大廳右側的樓梯。449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyWOfmA0dB2
墻上掛著幾幅油畫，有畫著風景的，也有畫著人的肖像的，看起來像是畫廊般，畫中的圖像都栩栩如生，仿佛隨時動起來都不奇怪，我甚至還能看到某個畫裡的肖像眨了眼……449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIueUp11M85
449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzipfdMpeuW
？？？？？449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ99FhqjJ2u9
449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIqFeiNKuVe
我愣了一下，隨即把視線轉向地板，不再東張西望。449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbMfvHYNV5l
449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMbepKYDSga
飛速地走到了二樓右邊深處的房間，我敲了敲房門。449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9fa7o4J64b
449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeSKP9CWdwo
「請進。」449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCfTX46SGdj
449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4UKKMJcAPn
在裡頭傳來了允許的回答後，我打開了房門。449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqDVLVMOmit
449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3knUdXHJ19
這房間看起來像個書房，裡頭放了很多藏書，甚至多到書架以外還堆積在地板上，造成環境看起來十分亂。449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNGvpyAuwcO
449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbaoiEdorVH
不過倒是和外邊看起來多年沒使用的狀況不同，雖然很亂，但上方都沒什麼灰塵。449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6QKOEcOCQI
449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9vYJG7iM8P
而在有著對外窗口的那面墻邊則是放著一張辦公桌，上面也雜亂無章地放置各種書籍和文件，還有未蓋上的墨水瓶以及插在裡面的鵝毛筆。449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmX0QfQ0HGW
449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ13k5AE87LE
……人叻？449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN9HOFppbCq
449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3zLV7c7W5h
我環視了四周之後，地面上突然湧起了像是泉水般的東西，我連忙退向門口盯著它慢慢從地面湧出之後逐漸化為人形。449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzoTzVkTFjv
449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYQ6DaOxeDK
「感謝你專程把包裹送過來，因為現在主人不在，所以由我來做代理人。」449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu0IOMZ5tIF
449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDIqNcIREXd
「好、好的，這裡是您的包裹。」449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpvvgLkxDSa
449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnhyO9UXszs
看著它那用水形成的身子，我戰戰兢兢地把行李箱和簽收單遞了過去。449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmpLUIcZ1dw
有點好奇它的構造原理，望向沒被淋濕的地毯，看起來應該不是一般的水。449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUWepewjtOB
它拿過之後也沒打開來看就直接放在一邊的辦公桌上，然後伸出剛剛成型的手在簽收單上簽名。449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJwkbePX6HN
449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1AIeDkYoMC
原本透明的水跡慢慢化為墨水般，黑色漂亮的字跡浮現後，就遞了過來。449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGMukdxK6zJ
449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjgIlFoDLlQ
「那麼這裡是簽收單，那麼如果沒其他要事的話我先行告退了。」449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCPzoxCY507
449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNP9ifTAR1y
我接過簽收單確認無誤後，它就慢慢地從人形潰散化成水蒸氣消失在我眼前。449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7xmJQpAB4j
嗯……所以我現在是直接離開就好嗎？449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYjkW3YlNhT
449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ07fV1JHNJD
突然隔壁房傳來了東西掉落地板的聲音，我嚇得後退兩步之後，決定什麼都不要多想離開這裡。449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoj7FY72tEX
449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9YUWZo6YRs
快速地離開豪宅後，我往來時的路飛速走回去，直到看見稀稀落落的店家後，才放緩了腳步。449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcst9IYAa4D
449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQw628l9RHC
「呼……」 449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGbhkBS1JFd
449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg7Lb5fbW37
喘了口氣，我在緩緩身子之際，稍微往後一望離開的路。449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWcwrHAw9NA
449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡScivYGgwKn
嗯？449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡceyklbR0pB
449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzS3gQlxS0P
我揉了揉雙眼，確認自己視力沒問題之後，我轉過了身打算不再想多餘的事了。449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLk6hCtYm3y
我後方的路已經和來時不同，變成一處小巷口，且巷口深處就沒路了。449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTuX58EVlTp
449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3loWnVq5in
算了算了，反正不會來第二次了。449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBIgdGBiZGX
449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy5w0ZocpP6
就這樣，我在回到公會之後，才算真正地放下了心，然後悠悠哉哉地前往櫃檯交付了任務，順道去圖書館拿東西。449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeloknzwUdW
449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGoAbz6qQvt
打開了櫃子確認完之後，我把鑰匙歸還圖書館櫃檯，就打算直接回家。449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDWfjvfhWCl
449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJEtIsrz95Q
走到一樓的大門，我正好跟挽著男友進來的莉莉撞個正著打了個招呼。449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBNdPdrCuJa
449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFJ7FiYE2Bt
「剛剛任務結束嗎？」莉莉詢問道。449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkCn8PfNH1o
449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6cxafwkbtL
「嗯，現在正準備要回去。」449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo54TzIUcMq
449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0NshjgUuTW
「那還真是辛苦了，不過新的一個月開始了，大家估計又要開始努力達成最低限額了，我也現在要去看有沒有點數累積比較快的任務。那麼拜拜咯~」449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH91T1DH6LG
449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc2rNJxgl3i
莉莉和我道了別，她男友和我點點頭示意之後，就前往了佈告欄的位置。449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMnmgBgHOYG
他們還真的是出雙入對啊……449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5COMF70pwU
449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0WUGfhjDNi
除了之前的意外事故，基本上都形影不離，看到莉莉就會看到她男友在一起。449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsFX9cDnEId
我離開了公會之後，就直接回了家。449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwfVqdjB5hL
449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvr4OLRhHpv
符咒之類的基本已經用得相當熟練，而且在學習了裡世界的語言後，開始知道一些道具的用途，比如之前榊原在商店街買的一大堆東西。449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgHTanpN4IN
449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡANKpMGFqXt
那堆東西也如我所猜地，有一半都是擺設用，幾乎想不到有什麼實用的用途。449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4uAJ2r0zBy
啊、對了，把今天的事情和莫璃說一說好了，說不定他知道些什麼。449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUJeC6LUtiw
在把今天的事情打好之後傳給莫璃，我就去洗了澡準備繼續學習個一小時後睡覺。449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS69ZgN3Hw7
449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc5wGGU0deP
直到第二天莫璃才回復了信息。449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVFnT2E5rN7
449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrxYmLhVwL9
‘照你所說的應該是有設什麼隱蔽結界之類的吧。而且你說的可以變成人形的水能夠在施術者不在的狀況下自主回答問題而不是機器性的制式回答，應該是相當高階的術法或魔法吧……不過我沒看過，所以也無法確定，只能和你說對方一定是個高手。嘛，反正以後未必會見到就是了，那人估計不隸屬於公會，如果公會有這種程度的人物的話我應該也會多多少少知道是誰，雖然我認識的人有些可以辦到你說的事情，但是都不住在那裡。’449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ33fbRcrNmK
449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqUrI213YoO
嗯……也對，反正以後也不會遇到，就當成一個特別的經歷就好了，也不需要太去在意。449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzXpvqF3zVM
449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFd1L2M4ZEg
於是我就轉換了心情，之後也沒把這件事放在心上了。449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4t17gC86wR
而且接下來我還要衝刺任務基本限額和學習，惦記這些事情也沒什麼用。449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtjpxoTPkZK
449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5rSwh1leuz
然後再過了幾天，我突然收到了莉莉的組隊邀約。449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEBIraNGbJt
449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLDftHXmgLe
在我提出要先了解一下細節之後，就和她約了在大廳見面後進行討論，我再評估是否接受。449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbdmpphuf59
449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV4tigaasiz
依約到了大廳，我在看到熟悉的身影後，不意外地她男友也在，但另外兩位就比較沒預料到。449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7VlbV7fDiz
449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgrBE6UyMEx
坐在那裡的除了莉莉情侶檔，還有之前和他們在同一個隊伍的舉著盾牌的人和穿著鎧甲的人。449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSJ1UlAgPsm
449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpXis7WTeDB
嘛啊……看起來這次會相當熱鬧啊……449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlryfBQX3hR
449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsqdOE5Yssn
我抱著忐忑不安的心，向他們走了過去。449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYj4SyqwYNy
