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。384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6ZwmC5cIVf
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3Pdsg6CNqs
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQvn2qzEttr
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。384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ0ht7nHNY3
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp3uiVQFTQA
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMRmHIv5s4d
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。384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaJWTCnD7TT
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNNwWCQMti7
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBAKB4MsxXn
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。384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfCmSiinncL
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7yuQPk4dtX
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0MGD9hocDQ
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：384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlrHi4Ra33B
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeJtRgv1CyH
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrC4GMwdqqH
「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！」384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsYwfw2IhKh
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDhbgQ9dxX0
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCJaDd4fELU
「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。384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz7U4ZEHCmY
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpSdb9x4YdP
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkOqNwaAzSG
「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……」384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRivJadB8xz
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBmc7xr1IVJ
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEnxdVdrdG8
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。384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKlyW7V0WLb
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOhhFIu0Ql6
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC01rNoK8AA
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。384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXBpGGVipka

「小甜心？怎麼了？」384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu7KsBYfwJq
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvJe0qfHidG
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0UY9IEKGoM
「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！」384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCcOPFN8BbQ
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2RKUjzJc47
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGe7mGsXmL5
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。384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnui3J9lLlT
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw47JnGXgNh
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfcmCvSN1HA
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：384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9zomJkwHO8
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4jqolGksjh
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWOxE14Xqep

「那妲羽是不是要離開這裡了？」384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXvKUf0OWQn
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqoAm4swm4c
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDEDTNmrg2V
「妳卡帕哥哥會保護妳與小少爺離開聖火城，不用擔心。」384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡttEBE35h1w
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXOg6jSWpV2
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKkPSY2NAiv
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：384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeO3tFIfVZM
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaxIHGnVzKz
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIVkMl5PUur
「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～」384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO51ep6ANkp
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMyOcK9G3nY
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbcGKwgI6zp
「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。384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsu8UXdE7BD
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmnFPqPHcrG
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ98xJNw9er6
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。384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡakC5wcV5bl
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEnxV56MZiO
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWFNHhHR5I3
「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。384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvFhH89s7V4
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO36XcVjHMh
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUnKpS8BuLE
「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……」384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡomSj38Ooa4
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxpjm6ojndx
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWg42xiNCSZ
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。384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxRYjLHY4eI

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……384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaEPNCuzgUZ

384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWTwLBiHNfd
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：384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL8ZgOvJp7F
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXX3xiTHFZV
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡURYEMffrLx
「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……」384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1glLJSUIBS
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ300Uqiz7vY
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ70mWOELeos
「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。384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwmKacmrWC2
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3hGkqIojUy
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfUqWok7Aq8
「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。」384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOxNUvSa70E
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP6Ig1s41TY
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0xdgT62KqJ
堇金義兄的說話，顯然不無道理。384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwGOgWYm9px
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHctpgtyynu
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTemdePDw8T
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。384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBxLzTyXKo8

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……384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡANjndHkGYS

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。384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBEUZwRfthN

384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzRtgmTaMEZ
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2psRebT7zB
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。384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKmoAXnrDlC
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD5nMw61dV0
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxwiiAA1XQ5
「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。384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6PXwiAshxd
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHZcjlsprFx
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaKhmEDerUC
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：384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBXmJRvoLOU

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。384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRaZrkxJemU

打開大門，見房內妲羽站在大廳裡，作好離開的準備。384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlUXFEcj5e2

384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCJuk4V0xFM
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。384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXFfWHfVAhj
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrjRqkQuin7
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhfQZj2GPS9
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。384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvM0DQ7VC9I
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4HnSTl8wPH
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpblJLLD5rv

384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7queb49NXq
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYo3ruwNC3L
「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？」384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡohIfOYqX7b
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxRgnJlgRsz
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmYyVqn4RZa
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。384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg07jLqpzEg
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4MPCrLhSFj
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4d8XeuSjBL
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。
