約定 - Chp 20

在接下來前進的道路上，我基本都靠著路牌在走。442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1WuWuPhQ9Y
442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2gwWZzxdsn
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。442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXTaWJUAerL
442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMs4oSPuZ8T
而看到這反應，我也深深覺得這其中一定有什麼貓膩。442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZDMLztKKPx
442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxGYeAdlaIR
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。442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7G9vcsSyY5
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。442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgDJpHfbcnc
442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPTcP4xS4FL
快到了快到了。442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7r2EYnxpIj
在內心不斷安慰自己，盡量不讓自己東張西望。442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFWJxiy3ITG
442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqWc2hRFoWe
終於在走了一小段路穿過一片小樹林後，到達了目的地。442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQkQkMWAQMs
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。442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYVHejFGsJH
442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMmZBHDfG5G
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。442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmmrtey3XiK
442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXaMeu64KqT
‘叮咚。’442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqIj6ni33Je
442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUOzLR7Ptgk
意外地能運作呢……也幸好還能用。442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLxXhBFUnaw
442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQXEL5bBbsk
等了一段時間，裡頭都完全沒反應。442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS4h2Gdy0qJ
442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxwSOC47UgY
是沒人在嗎？442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTK9BcaD2UF
442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUSDTxVAA7l
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。442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEuN1MXSNy1
442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn3wW6oZNkE
咔噠。吱呀…….。442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsu1LeVazxe
442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwjl2xdXyay
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。442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp4JwATcdAR
442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfrkOSCTTio
沒人在那裡。442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiZZjAkBGrF
442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6VxCEklfsF
我不自覺地往後退，然後背後開始感到涼颼颼的。442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgbHu3X2CoE
442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSko5QHGfl7
再、再按一次門鈴好了。442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZKYLVR2icc
442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSRjfJZeH5p
我大大吸了一口氣壯膽，再次按下了門鈴。442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdd6skSZQpC
這次門鈴完全沒有任何反應。442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWV5AQSgXdh
442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVeRgxLlJ7B
不會吧……442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFUv1icMJFD
442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4g4mIfYhDC
我再按了幾下，還是沒反應。442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQblu1tdlFl
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。442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBroaAVxIK2
442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvqZubELDDT
「哈嘍~有人在嗎——」442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsfZmZN9zz5
442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdlxXrqEEoN
朝著被稍微打開的門往裡面喊，還是沒回應。442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8AxCZdvEqd
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……442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKlJsRnNbgt
442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡenimgpFlSo
「…誰？」442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn0NDF61o9l
442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmY7kXZFsup
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。442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOpHka1uxP0
442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBRC4UKkYWR
什麼啊，原來有人在啊，真是太好了。442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTsgq5pkkLl
442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHuATiSeYOX
聽到人聲我整個放心了不少。442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOQlslvLTzd
442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOUWCyedFDB
「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。」442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrrNOUo0Sxg
442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPXbqokBxcB
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。442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAMHBsyb6dm
442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlCNCUs7N6O
「……我知道了，進來吧，門開著。」442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ3eAVwXtD3
442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡii9t2UnEf9
「.…..那我打擾了。」442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj0whfYWSOq
442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4A7pei3TGw
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。442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhWnv1ywu4G
把門關好之後我穿過庭院走到豪宅的門前，敲了敲門。442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXdiyb1kPvM
442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLXWEFZuiur
「我開門咯。」442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQlg5vHn82o
442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡODVwSTPOgI
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。442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5D8BkIbLCC
442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7h4RLTXTLY
……錯覺吧。442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtbjgBC6nS2
442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfDQJ54ZpmZ
我決定不做多想地進入房子，但在開門之後玄關沒人在。442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKF5F3llwi1
442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡApo3BGBToe
「.…..請問？」442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdV0F0b3K3z
屋子裡頭只有我的聲音在迴蕩，遲遲等不來回應。442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbYFY81g9eI
442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeiZDArSc3L
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。442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡef13EyKn6W
442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1W4z6yDgef
「到二樓右邊最裡面的房間吧。」442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJBJtIGnRuc
442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWVZNIMTTWM
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。442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOznb8FcBG7
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……442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHw26i3GSIT
442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtsAGxuWIQ5
？？？？？442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPYt6ZNCdnS
442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxV0nOzjqMB
我愣了一下，隨即把視線轉向地板，不再東張西望。442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdhTBNFBJxS
442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvaY6chJPbI
飛速地走到了二樓右邊深處的房間，我敲了敲房門。442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAPuDBd4At1
442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhYI9NIAJZD
「請進。」442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo7I2kF0NNk
442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYAEf6rQ6gs
在裡頭傳來了允許的回答後，我打開了房門。442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeZjOR8eq88
442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOyqy6KaHUH
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。442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHhaIy9dDSg
442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwXJ3EoBUjw
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。442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRuuzd8k247
442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXffrYt27mg
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。442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBBJPRubged
442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ70VNIoYNUC
……人叻？442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWsEf35rPbr
442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9tmnJp9LJ1
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。442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2BZOBRbq5h
442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNyVytezWUd
「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。」442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4X30FDdEGI
442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPKrgtQXSKF
「好、好的，這裡是您的包裹。」442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMe2a1oBy2S
442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡshlkEwLByx
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。442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoN6nGBP57C
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。442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSafA50zZ0Y
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。442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk9YRxduUY1
442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlfNoXVK1Am
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。442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4ZRHMYzlDo
442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxCtfvMbgJ5
「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。」442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiACHYMhJLS
442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTtuf1IRzBg
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。442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6Y7Kxh6BJb
嗯……所以我現在是直接離開就好嗎？442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOiSqjHAYrj
442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ51fMekcPTi
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。442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjndGms2bxO
442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3zKgbPtfd0
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。442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaxgQaEGugl
442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdiRju1GDad
「呼……」 442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKY4zjpMBsH
442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEqMrFba5hg
喘了口氣，我在緩緩身子之際，稍微往後一望離開的路。442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvsXMmiDQBi
442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8s57wmmzdE
嗯？442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUR1SEz8kkJ
442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMgudy5M8co
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。442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5kFDUsluEn
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。442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdIboSHk2MD
442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCnDL4cdNjX
算了算了，反正不會來第二次了。442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOf5kOCYSqC
442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyTlfAdoZER
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。442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg0ZRciqusq
442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQr1tPIYRPD
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。442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8OzbIOX5PY
442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK56Ggw4pOm
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。442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRzv2M7m5pC
442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYL9P6ITLuA
「剛剛任務結束嗎？」莉莉詢問道。442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwHJTXUybmu
442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSZxUKnnwAZ
「嗯，現在正準備要回去。」442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3BNZ3dKtFD
442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAIDqWN0L4q
「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~」442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW1DJFyQlAv
442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHFfTsTktT6
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。442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFmYfz9ohIY
他們還真的是出雙入對啊……442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgBIeRCXQD7
442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwFtC2ZBQh7
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。442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPGHRMeZWXB
我離開了公會之後，就直接回了家。442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvINKY3nla6
442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHaiDyXFRr8
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。442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzlv2StF3Dy
442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl2EQx5zPbi
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。442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRzqTBGiSYM
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。442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuff38EFkqW
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。442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0CAaKcrZnh
442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrZjftRMqVb
直到第二天莫璃才回復了信息。442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3xn0WXnzmB
442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgWO6uARAL3
‘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。’442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTg18uy6Z8Q
442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJhiv5l6gNG
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。442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGudjTqGpwE
442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcQGw5nxOiN
於是我就轉換了心情，之後也沒把這件事放在心上了。442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4JozC8ydP7
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。442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfEsw2UtDGt
442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPo191wYs1C
然後再過了幾天，我突然收到了莉莉的組隊邀約。442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGCkCcjYhV5
442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzmhjcxxvIS
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。442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPmSeSnbvyh
442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJTl616zy3D
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。442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDPgAYQ6Q2Z
442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfqKFLDOAB0
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。442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjR6RtfKaQp
442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1miIkzS7kf
嘛啊……看起來這次會相當熱鬧啊……442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWMQ8yQ7QuJ
442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDRexmG3VvG
我抱著忐忑不安的心，向他們走了過去。442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCCfcut6xoo
