沙卡美在洞穴裏修煉了很長時間，從來也不覺得餓或者渴。若然不趕快練成明鏡的境界，曼賈就會殺死她愛的所有人。329Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCyo1kxJL1l

「哈！哈！」她站在池裏不停向瀑布揮刀，水比冰更冷，卻澆不熄她的鬥志。329Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ59jmbTCQH3
329Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnegLq0A6mk
既然母親每天揮一千下刀，為了超越母親，她要每天揮二千，甚至三千下刀。329Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2JUWn8C1rU
329Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm9XzIIFiqO
她堅信追尋之物就在努力盡頭。329Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcNpZJat3z1

受多少苦也不要緊，她不受苦的話其他人就會受苦。329Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmREnVJ4rU1
329Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgx2kWRPHaA
「哈！哈！」在無盡的揮刀過程裏，她的思緒漸漸飄向遠方。329Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNkzDJCOOdb
329Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJkfBEH00DQ
保護一切或捨棄一切才能達至明鏡的境界？人總會失去些事物吧？她失去了賴鐸，失去了利華特，她保護不了他們。329Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPC1CuXn9zn
329Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHDMLOO1GoJ
母親有達到明鏡的境界嗎？母親捨棄了她和在帝國的一切，算滿足條件嗎？散播悲傷的明鏡是明鏡嗎？大概不是。329Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqomfKsq0x0
329Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZdpmOK19rk
那張紙僅是謎面，她要領悟明鏡的真諦。329Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ1mTdM11nG
329Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgvO5Ymyev8
另一邊廂，岡原、小娜和貝吏刻唐等人來到沙卡美所在的房間前。329Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLYLKBFpn0v
329Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAC4nC85eDf
「如果陛下清醒的話就幫她戴面具，如果昏迷的話就帶她出去再治療她，清楚嗎？」岡原問手拿著面具的小娜。329Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP0rVmYlyjL
329Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn67d1gcEDN
「嗯。」小娜點頭。329Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTWiQTqjZk8
329Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ11xyT9PPU
「好。各位，準備好了嗎？」岡原對牆壁伸出手掌。329Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGC09b7KhnH
329Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbmDPEbzqE2
「準備好了。」「準備好了。」「準備好了。」貝吏刻唐和魔法部隊成員一同瞄準牆壁。329Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbDd5oVSpCm
329Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtQ8zQ4EuKi
「鮮物都・加瓦治！」329Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5Fr6kJXHYf
329Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzLOE9MhckO
咒語擊中牆壁，牆堅隨即化為一團灰塵。眾人精準控制過咒語有效範圍，使咒語只消除房間的牆壁329Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9jofNYKv3B
329Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTRKPpL6XaI
鐵門因為牆壁消失而倒下，他們看到沙卡美正坐在椅子上。329Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd69iQ6Gpsj
329Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX0OTGLuNl5
「沙卡美！」小娜上前檢查她的狀況，「她昏倒了！」329Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtFzUa3MqET
329Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE1cAJuPBpF
小娜抱起沙卡美，運起魔力離開基地，其他人亦隨她回到地面。329Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZFi6rHOeqE
329Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUWLNgpTCLi
「沙卡美！醒醒！」小娜檢查她的呼吸，隨後聽見她在「呼呼」地小聲叫。329Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBCOuPIU5cc
329Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ7wgX2wAQt
「小娜！陛下狀況怎麼了？」貝吏刻唐走到旁邊問小娜。329Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD6i6PTj8ka
329Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ0FbXWUQ6k
「她在睡覺。」發現白擔心一場的小娜向貝吏刻唐露出無奈的表情。329Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY68WKnebE7
329Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOnS6rkBOTx
「睡、睡覺？」貝吏刻唐不太相信。329Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ64BBb2qO3W
329Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNxgOrvurRc
「桌上有個碎掉的水晶球。我猜可能是他們想用它來操控沙卡美，但沙卡美毀了水晶球。」小娜脫下防毒面具，「她一定累透了，給點時間她休息吧。」329Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiSdkIkHExP
329Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzPdzn1thq5
貝吏刻唐脫下面具，「我們要想辦法回皇宮。這可是另一個大陸的最西邊，又沒有紅圈......」329Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCU6wnwrWYz
329Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI9gwzkYIjm
「回去也要好幾個星期，我們身上又沒有錢......」小娜嘆了一口氣，「不過哥對打獵相當熟悉，所以我不怕。」329Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwFN60D9zEw
329Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2jKOAwjtQo
在學習魔法的數十年裏，貝吏刻唐經常背著小娜在森林裏打獵，小娜就在籃子內欣賞他的英姿。329Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoctUWafnnZ
329Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwukatM0rf2
「各位！」貝吏刻唐呼叫在草原上看星的魔法部隊成員和岡原，「不如我們先去找些食物吧！」329Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdH6nNVRjUv
329Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUfsXyuXpmM
「那邊有森林。」小娜用天文學知識得出方位，指著東邊的森林說：「而且還在東邊，我們在森林裏打獵，休息一晚，到早上就馬不停蹄——人不停足地趕路。」329Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjfyzVpS0yr
329Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡweu1wzZljD
「贊成！」「贊成！」魔法部隊成員紛紛舉手支持。329Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHXyUuGrvo4
329Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi2gRrnoLWH
小娜背起沙卡美，跟其他人慢步前往森林。329Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrRyrYfgcpR
329Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7lY4AW6Zop
「沙卡美，相信我們，沒有妳我們也不會輕言放棄。」
329Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYzifLsTTbb
說來神奇，沙卡美遺傳了壞人的優點和好人的缺點。她如賴鐸強悍卻不如他暴戾，如巫女擇善固執卻不如她處變不驚。擇善固執不一定指缺點，但從她的情況看，一旦錯了方向便很危險。329Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO81molv8Mr

明鏡到底會帶她去哪裏？掌握了明鏡她就能殺死曼賈嗎？329Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzCIL74TTb4
329Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnysU22fu47
她離失控僅有一步之遙，每當看到刀上的黑色火焰就不斷自責。她深信力量該用來保護而非傷害人，卻經已好幾次傷害了人。329Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ75eXW76pLN
329Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUSbJynELpP
從無到有，從紅到藍，從藍到金的火焰象徵著何物？金色火焰代表她的戰意燃燒到最高點嗎？329Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlO1oSmsC2V
329Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3SziK3XRdf
她對那把武士刀一無所知，連它的名字也不知道。無知的她就算進入明鏡境界也是會輸。329Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKSj5SwiHZx
329Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡohpNEk224c
她煞停揮刀的雙手，走到池邊放下刀，用之前突然冒出來，放在石上的毛巾抹頭。329Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7gZUoI9Y69
329Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBs0Alwj3Zz
頭和臉都抹乾淨，她拿起刀盯著滿佈水珠的刀身。329Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1hu84cRfXf
329Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFeKskIbpFO
「刀......有兩把。」329Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsVt5ACUEmZ
329Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIxRktOr8LQ
她忽然想起那把一直被遺忘，自開始揮刀後就被放在石頭邊的脇差。她撿起它，手執兩把刀的她很迷惘。329Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZt5X2DISbv
329Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡitZhM6hbwe
「我一定對你有期望才會叫你出來......」她舉高握脇差的左手抬頭，「告訴我，你想我做甚麼？」329Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV2hJHoSvCl
329Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ7QdTCy0c2
脇差和武士刀冒出紅色火焰，一塊巨石出現在她面前。329Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbWBsklJYD3
329Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDBi9OPmcp3
她放下手，對兩把刀說：「我明白了。我試試看。」329Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYWx3guj9lZ
329Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmf5nkFk6Pg
她跑向巨石，跳起劈向巨石，「哈啊啊啊啊！」329Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhMqs41LBjL
329Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrIXN6hajrJ
巨石被劈成三部份，她望向武士刀，留意到刀身在發紅光。以往刀身不會發光，最多只會被火焰纏繞。她望向脇差，也是同樣狀況。329Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRJpbtGSPFV
329Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKFTGFGOfWX
沒必要走上和母親一樣的路，她要開拓出屬於她的路。329Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNctP9ELczn
329Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2M2YMwYcwL
紅光蔓延到她手掌、手腕、手臂、肩膀、身軀、雙腿和頭，她整個人都在發光。329Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5NtepfzkXW
329Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWvCT432yPZ
她正對其中一條石柱，身體微微傾前。329Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSoH2TVf5aL
329Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYDbTIUGZ52
「啊！」329Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkar3QsfFgo
329Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡptkxZItxoy
她向前想兩刀劈斷石柱，卻承受不到速度之快而在石柱前摔倒。329Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSw9Sv1Lshl
329Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡft5lpZ0T0I
情況就像背著重物絆倒，想向後拉自己起來卻被重物壓下去。329Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYVyqpzXMmj
329Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3kwmNH8nRT
「痛痛痛......」雙刀和身體的紅光消失，火焰也熄滅，她放下雙刀靠著石柱坐下。329Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXEXu07LJ7k
329Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡumEr91Kncn
「希靈格・利卡巴。」她治好擦損的雙手，嘆了口氣。329Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiTEdLqQr3T
329Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZpaCgikUrx
「我果然還是不夠成熟。明明大家都在等我，我卻讓他們失望......我該怎麼辦......」329Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwzFy4oKCqS
329Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUEzM5OFzkT
她抱膝，頭貼在手上當枕頭休息。329Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6sMGL4GG9n
329Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuk3qA1FIUC
「明鏡......拾棄一切......保護一切......我......」她找不到謎題的解答。329Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKbBo9dNh0z
329Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTgcmJc4F7O
在全身都閃著紅光時，她以為終於領悟到要訣，怎料只領悟到殘酷的現實。329Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9VnSFOrtiW
329Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjSsOmDou3M
要找到欠缺的東西，便先要明白自己欠缺了甚麼。329Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDYRRCm5Abl
329Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjwNDHwGygB
「我到底需要甚麼？沒有人會教我，只有我才想到。」她望終有一天會開竅，「我是不是早就知道但不願面對？到底是怎樣？」329Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJlm5DV3ykW
329Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡln6DXAtQZF
很痛苦。329Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWPEL3p93C8
329Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJHS4Rdu0DC
「哪條才是正確的路？沒有——」329Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwnnYpZGC9a
329Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzKxWx79Dwu
她腦海一片空白，那些抱怨的句子彷彿沒存在過。她拿起雙刀回到瀑布，又再揮刀。329Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4UeLkttfpH
329Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGWjxqwf43x
謎底根本不重要，解開謎底並不是終點，是其中一個里程碑。既然如此，她做她認為正確的事就足夠。
