時光飛逝，終於來到薄暮城天文學會年度大會舉辦之日。妲羽獨自坐在套房裡，看著面前平放桌上的星盤，意識不禁飛越到薄暮城，想像年度大會裡空前盛況。學者們激烈討論的場面迴盪不停，而自己卻要逗留在這寧靜無聲的房間，沒法反駁他們滿口謬誤與歪理。326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1bxggMcHL6
326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4A3FMQd9Kc
326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGTYUVWCLf8
真實的星空、一切答案就映在自己那散發微弱星光的橢圓盤子上，然而妲羽並未能把事實一一訴說，每次總有自詡前輩的人搬出歪理反駁、或是把妲羽當成愛胡亂說話的小丫頭，而這次更是直接被捲入事端，失去公開發言的機會。326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyrMRGevoPC
326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwFOMepn5CW
326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIIElGeDSd7
大概到了大會開始時間，妲羽於是打開套房裡的大屏幕，一番搜尋過後找來了年度大會的現場直播。326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYACTavP5jH
326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHIlY07s4xa
326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOaScqS84pj
看過修伯特會長冗長的開場辭，鏡頭又轉向了幾位自以為是的老博士，口裡仍然是大堆謬誤，煞是難耐。326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhVnQz1GDXt
326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8o6KvfDx1p
326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdgJKLe6cR1
快要打起瞌睡之際，直播片段裡突然響過一陣雜音，冒出幾個白色身影衝到鏡頭焦點前。領頭的老頭子無視周遭一切驚訝目光，以凌厲語氣指向正主持大局的修伯特道出來由：326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSKxiOhaEqB
326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiisNlYPrIp
326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqJkiwu7hkK
「這裡是樞密院罪滅組，現在懷疑你們私藏擄走院內政要的犯人，請盡快把她交出來。不然的話……」發話的老頭說著又故意掉過頭來，望向會場上方的攝像鏡頭高聲續道：「今日將是你們最後一次年度大會！」326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw2SHlhpAkZ
326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOtPzoqWO8n
326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfrys5VnSkp
「等等！您們誤解了，我們天文學會公正持平，絕不包庇罪惡。」修伯特連忙朗聲為學會上下辯護。326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvm73tOnBF3
326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNI7ZYPqo3I
326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBdGbzaCQXs
「你要是在心音小姐面前說這句話，我可沒法保你不死。你還是快……」326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHpRZWys4wZ
326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpgtAtGuT9j
326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7TbLzLCio3
老頭子話說到一半，直播影像便突然中斷，屏幕裡只剩下大片藍光，再沒有聲音或是映像。326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbcBo9icHv3
326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG3ysnIHGpB
326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9y90DXpVcs
然而，被這突如其來衝擊得目瞪口呆的妲羽，冥冥中亦意識到那些白衣大人正威逼修伯特會長供出自己所在之處，遂連忙提起魔匣，撥下堇叔叔留給自己的號碼。326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoF6khwtzuf
326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOkqcJrpQsy
326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡckEzuOrwAT
「小甜心？怎麼了？」326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6RaDIzHosD
326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX6Q7MO38BH
326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3p9pYGOPql
「堇叔叔！妲羽很害怕，樞密院的人似乎已經知道妲羽在聖火城了！」326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM12pzKkRgF
326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡysf5l9BwaF
326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuOn0xJ1eLf
妲羽的話伴以一副緊張語氣，傳至聽筒另一方忙於籌備公演的堇金耳邊。326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBmWo0NteNu
326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCw4dWoRIUQ
326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgm4kgqPTDD
幽暗的廳堂裡，除了堇金以外，還有坐在圓桌前品茶的法依與旁邊握起青光卡片冥想的佳依，沉默細聽堇金與妲羽的對話：326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXTs5bGbjwC
326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHnZJadAgy7
326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWfa7iFZ5Kw
「冷靜點，小甜心，請相信堇叔叔。」326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡst652NhSJ3
326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkGK7b92t6d
326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiK6e5xm2Fb
「那妲羽是不是要離開這裡了？」326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡapWmI7RZaR
326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGW6gZiKDIv
326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYK0F8tGmxZ
「妳卡帕哥哥會保護妳與小少爺離開聖火城，不用擔心。」326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMO93R1KaZ2
326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIecTn7WIqR
326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFRtyPVu0nL
知道卡帕亦要隨兩小子而去，法依喝過一口紅茶，托起腮望向堇金，回想起早前與卡帕的閒聊，略顯失落地嘆氣：326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDEsEqpMypr
326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1prRbX9F1p
326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLwlTW6cjGd
「卡帕也要走了啊？明明剛才還叫他要期待一下我們的演出，真沒趣～」326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpceks3THQQ
326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa9ELifPGFe
326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuUVqq5Pwh7
「法伊，這也沒辦法，再這樣下去連我們的演出也會受影響。」而佳依則淡然以虛火灼燒手上正位置的「隱士」牌面，止住冥想對法依說道。326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlLGEmKRFn4
326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqBTg1JHlkB
326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOgOLjQ2rDd
在法依沒精打采地往嘴裡灌茶的同時，佳依又不忘暗自反思占卜得來的結果。她心想：「隱士」是退隱深冰中的智者，把自己的權力、威能一一藏於手上燈籠中，隱身於暗處靜觀其變亦不失為壞事。326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwvFyJYjvCX
326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBr8CR7Qag2
326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuZFr8m342v
「堇先生，您是要卡帕帶著他們回到黑輝淨土嗎？」等到堇金掛斷電話之後，佳依又率先開口問道。326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRmxooGMQG2
326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡigroAIC5hb
326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMpza39pu8B
「果然騙不過佳依的占卜術呢！本來我想讓卡帕看完妳們第一場公演才回去的，的確有點可惜呢……」326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3FPex8gQTs
326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIGdj6L2uzX
326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB2HV0iFY8q
而法依則繼續沉默不語，難得找到一個讓自己提起「興趣」的男生，卻沒法多找幾個機會挑逗他。哪怕要待巡迴演出來到黑輝淨土，才能再次沉浸於他激情的幹勁中。326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIzWHjTmKdt

拋下這句說話後，堇金又轉過頭來，看了看金色魔匣裡幾句報告，遂撥下卡帕的號碼……326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMe7DGFk6Vl
326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkEfIzSBLKg
326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMTVGWErt5s
這邊廂，在堇花塔裡監督手下鍛鍊進度的卡帕，忽然聽見口袋裡響起一陣爆裂鈴聲，便掏出外表簇新的橙紅魔匣接聽這來自堇金義兄的撥號：326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCoStRjfzy8
326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuqExG0FUjP
326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT1XBah565f
「卡帕，今日之內可以把小少爺跟小甜心送走嗎？我怕我們這邊收容不下他們了……」326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqklZjkxvth
326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ66MUiUTpT0
326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf4ZNxmGw2l
「樞密院的人要過來聖火城了嗎？」卡帕磨拳擦掌，腦裡冒出帶領麾下兄弟與這幫崇拜命運神的人渣決一死戰的畫面，頓時津津樂道起來。326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwWvkuHrsQI
326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpjtxMyLYui
326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2LbjcFJGbv
「別衝動，卡帕。你現在去向他們宣戰，只會得不償失。我們還不是他們的對手，你先把孩子們送回去，其他容後再說吧。」聽筒後堇金嚥下一口口水，再道：「你儘管記住，那兩個孩子是我們對抗命運的棋子，無論如何都不可以讓他們落到樞密院手上。」326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcILtMTsxVD
326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTX3beZ5R0e
326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZNFi0KRjeC
堇金義兄的說話，顯然不無道理。326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjbRwczYk9o
326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡru5j5g3SN0
326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq9vx0KG36M
在未知樞密院一方到底掌握多少情報下，為免打草驚蛇，卡帕深明此趟不能借用堇紫青金打造的專屬列車，甚至不能帶上手下兄弟。他只能像到訪此地那般，裝成普通市民混進乘客之中，帶著默默離開。326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvad1D3am25

聖火城沒有直通車直達黑輝淨土，必先要經浮光淨土轉乘長途線。而對於這麼一個中途站，除了想起那些人臉上那副自私自利的醜惡面容，早上看到一則關於城內怪病蔓延的新聞，亦讓他歷歷在目……326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb5UrDeZkRT

326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXr6fJsleSv
卡帕懷著速戰速決的意志，快步離開堇花塔，踏上集體傳送法陣趕往鄰區某遊樂場與手下會合。326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLr3X8n4491

「烏普西朗，我們要離開聖火城了。」326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIAT3Qi7S5x
326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYSGbcpeI0J
326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX61t3YzAqY
在兩西裝男護送下，烏普西朗得意忘形地，才剛踏進滿是機動遊戲、歡呼聲不絕的主題樂園，便被從後趕至的卡帕抓住兩肩說道。326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3Y2pvhDEV8
326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡshfUVm69b9
326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGm89oJDtik
「怎樣怎樣？你找到伊歐鎝了嗎？你要帶我去找他嗎？」甫看到卡帕一副著緊抓住自己，烏普西朗便認為對方已經找到伊歐鎝的下落，夾雜興奮聲線連連吐出幾句問句。326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEvjy4KmZDI
326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu2F9CO0Ki9
326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIYdsQaf4XI
然而，卡帕只是搖著頭，推著烏普西朗回到入口方向，低聲在他耳邊照直說著：326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbbyEYwWPhB

烏普西朗仍未來得及反應，便被卡帕匆忙帶回聖火大酒店，進入頂樓套房收拾細軟。326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtVK0xHP0gE

打開大門，見房內妲羽站在大廳裡，作好離開的準備。326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡslWH02NyF0

326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0NQThfXGEQ
一瞥魔匣屏幕裡停止更新的對話框，眼見情報組的兄弟亦未報上消息，卡帕也只好攜上神情呆滯的妲羽，再加上被略帶緊張的烏普西朗，分別為兩小孩穿上黑色斗篷後，便握緊未知多寡的時間赴往聖火城車站。326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBCyRqMUUPe
326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzo3BggakBW
326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZhEimeey3H
順利成章地帶著兩個黑色小身影走過熙攘的車站大堂，無意中聽見當中途人細語閒談，提及到浮光淨土與怪病一事。326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFyG8ztK45D
326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiaCTepWr9N
326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhrvRiRsiiz
「光臨我命……浮光淨土那個怪病，你們也聽說了嗎？我在祈禱希望命運神能讓這場災難化險為夷。」326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnDhbuP9n0X

326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUBiE9mEQGH
326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsAXVstsHtl
「哇！浮光淨土那邊封城了沒？萬一這怪病傳到聖火城這裡那怎麼辦？」326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhQ1qibVD1C
326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtKjYu5f7qP
326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk8mYJtMFyI
然而卡帕無暇理會眾人恐慌流言，只管環盼四周，提防每片人海裡潛藏的伏兵。好不容易從售票員手上接過頭等車票，卡帕遂再次抓緊兩小孩的手，快步走下自動扶手梯往列車月台走去。326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU46sUKfsYL
326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ23QQ15aRrL
326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuh6aToLGc9
直至登上車廂，三人圍坐到頭等軟腍的座位上，卡帕才稍為鬆一口氣，交叉著腳滑起魔匣。而烏普西朗亦卸下黑斗篷上的兜帽，望向隔壁跟著脫下斗篷、正連忙把魔法帽子重新穩在頭上的妲羽發呆，緩緩從緊張繃緊之中放鬆過來，靜待列車把他們帶到安全地方。
