第1章 勇者是最頂尖的男公關44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNnBCllw2Eb

秋天的景象越來越明顯了。剛守孝完畢，接管魔法魔法店只有半個月的我，此刻才發現經營店鋪比我想像中來得更為講究。44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCOF5W70Y1g
44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcbA3hyHswd
除了調製魔法道具、招待客人和收錢，還要陳列商品、訂貨、處理訂單、管理貨倉及解決各種零碎事務，煩心的事多不勝數。44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3a9r1qmADi
44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTB22x7Miuq
甚至乎，每個季節也有不同的任務。44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnQD4WFeeCU
44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuZn6UtuNc2
西原城盛種紅楓樹，幾乎家家戶戶都種了一棵。到了秋天，城內的每條大路、小徑、街角，便會被五角型的楓葉所包裹著，地面鋪滿了紅鱗，連屋頂都被片片紅葉點綴成火燒似的赤，不斷往外散開。44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9Z5TF7xbXN
44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXjaqAMxife
「於金盤中盛放的火楓」，是對西原城的美譽。44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxbjFkTY6IE
44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9USvJXXOIP
風吹過，火花飄舞人間，詩情畫意。吟遊詩人喜歡坐在長椅上放聲歌頌，旅客也慕名而來，一賞城內秋色。44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPTGYKLnjCR
44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYEYbK0mxhc
然而美歸美，如何處理滿地殘葉又是大哉問。現在東區商店街富華魔法店的老闆則拚命宣傳他的新商品：44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqy8vB2C2MJ
44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0EMlTy42rD
「討厭早午晚掃葉子嗎？只要在店外擺好這個吸葉箱，保證你不費一分力氣就能清出一條康莊大道！現在買一件，第二件半價！」44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBarTItMpMw
44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQOGFIl3VMV
「你騙肖喔？各位街坊聽我說，昨天我按照指示把魔石放進去，結果這東西一啟動就把我整條袍子都吸進去，全爛了！」44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb79L7SxOQq
44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzFn6Rm5IOb
「客人！那肯定是你使用不當！」44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0UaEPGipEI
44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1OC9wrmoZg
「我沒胡謅！要不然我們去找次代勇者大人奧特．卡巴拉來評評道理！次代勇者大人不是一出世就學魔法嗎？他定會揭破你這奸商的大陰謀！」44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmKXdF2UFSl
44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmC0Ox5fa8g
我匆忙把整塊三明治塞進口裡，退出觀眾群。現在的人是怎搞的，為什麼不找商品監管會社？44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6TJxEYaB1W
44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5Lmya73aip
「……哎呀，我好像看見勇者在圍觀，不過剛跑掉了……你們要追上去嗎？」44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTvA5LWM6Dc
44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJM6YWzZ9pU
我好不容易把嘴裡的東西吞下肚，跑小路返回魔法魔法店。44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjdkvdC9Pgd
44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqAjNv3ONn4
魔法魔法店是爺爺遺留給我的產業，建於西區不特別繁華的商店地帶。以往由於古舊邪詭的色彩與佈置，以及爺爺調製出來的商品的強烈不實用性及不安全性，所以生意冷淡。現在由我全權掌管，門面重新裝修，批入正常的貨品，情況已大幅改善。44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa7aBlxZ72x
44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoNAXEspbL1
雖然，半個月所賺還是不夠支付爺爺的安葬費。44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR3ZI3qauTF
44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsjdFW8yuHF
我喝了杯水，然後拿著掃帚走出店外，葉子多得連角落的盆栽都掩沒了。44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡILQ746s9eu
44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuV2AphNUUO
掃地算是最輕鬆的工作，不消片刻已把門前的葉子全掃成一堆。呼，距離營業時間尚餘十五分鐘，待會兒再整理貨架，還有時間泡茶。44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMVZST732Yk
44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ2k9wkSL1Z
「哦哦！這裡就是魔法魔法店啊！終於到了！」44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiW30x6AmD4
44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpEOWvpzRW5
這時，一隻黑色的長靴踢跨了我的楓葉堆，紅色的葉子如亂雨般倒轉灑上天空，沙沙亂響。兩秒後，一條依附在葉子上的毛蟲從天空掉到我腳尖上。44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpxH5bdSsbx
44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaVptJYJnKN
該死的，誰走路沒長眼？44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNZjBDC0gMC
44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9Zw6QvDecv
我抬頭，眼前是一名青年，有著頗為罕見的墨黑色頭髮和眼瞳，臉部有微妙的孩童式圓潤，飛揚拔扈的眉毛輕易地讓人聯想到「囂張」、「惡霸」等字眼，偏偏他卻身穿白色的祭司拖地長袍，怪裡怪氣的。44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvXYKPcNw00
44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhFfRKsCEpR
是邪教祭司嗎？那還是小心點為妙。44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPkQ72Uem4B
44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVqYttlrauK
我摸著掃帚，先露個抱歉的微笑：「大哥哥不好意思，你可以讓一條路嗎？」44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtsVCqEvjOL
44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTjRt5WLcru
對方這才發現我的存在，一臉大爺地把黑色眼珠瞄向下方：「喔！你是這家『魔法魔法店』的小夥計吧？你家店長呢？在店裡嗎？」44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDMZDMvLDbL
44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrKOkfGSVXr
……糟糕，被徹底路人化了。44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAD9pPOwenI
44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIhDER1NYik
「我就是店長。請問──」44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnIm20cCNTJ
44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRdiE9wTd91
「臭小子你別裝！照照鏡子，你哪裡像勇者奧特呢？嘛，算了！跟你多講也是浪費時間。」44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkvBn6e0RQ9
44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwMvWhVpMAP
他自顧自地說完，便完全無視守在門前的我及掛在門前的營業時間牌，直接衝到店裡，其速度之快使得我的披風往上飄了飄。44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ78wAovAmab
44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw2wAunphXi
又來一個慕勇者之名而來的非．顧客嗎？真是夠了。44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvnF1tipLGR
44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNgdgeyiJIC
我馬上跟前，指著剛躲到櫃臺裡疑似想偷錢的祭司袍男子說：「……喂喂、先生，等一下！本店尚未開門，你這樣是擅闖私人物業！」44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡni3DtAAmME
44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYCJrfd3F3q
「吵死了，我的勇者怎麼會雇用你這種吱吱喳喳的店員呀？」44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjEcgarksVq
44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWUg74sGJLK
他從櫃臺下鑽出黑色的頭顱，手裡還順手牽起了我藏在櫃臺裡的茶杯，勾著杯耳的兩指優雅地提起，輕啜了一口，接著很自然地皺眉：「都冷了？」44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7QnnDseRdC
44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrjfdDY9Z9u
「那是昨晚的。」44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNXMvWfaa1f
44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLvTbKiVzRP
「呸呸呸！你這種爛店員怎麼連最基本的泡茶都沒做好？」44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnKaB0vXWe7
44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡja8G42JsqL
入店搶掠者拋開茶杯，大刺刺地在店裡轉來轉去，東張西望：「奇怪……奧特不在嗎？果然堂堂的次代勇者不會幹這種市儈商人的工作啊。」44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW8SREr7HZ0
44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLSoIryYZFr
我叫奧特．卡巴拉。我愛當市儈商人。我對勇者這種沒有生產力的職業沒有興趣。不行嗎？44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGmU56zi6B9
44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1EdAADrk4B
這青年丁點兒也不像祭司，但從他口氣中的超大架子，以及他剛才喝茶的姿勢，彷彿是個上流貴族或官僚。直接趕走他並不恰當，結果我只能跟著他的拖地白袍不斷走動。44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb78J8Ftl7g
44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsha2jOLrOp
「勇者的店子怎麼好像什麼都沒有？你有在做事嗎？」44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKezETF0YhX
44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ19hDBOn5Ic
他端起一條掛在牆上的胸圍。這是爺爺研究出來，用以縮小女性胸部的魔法彈性胸罩，擺了幾年都沒人買。44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡldfe3HfRPq
44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE2LXNDHgAr
「貨架很空是由於前幾天城內的傳送門壞了，貨品和材料沒能運送過來。現在城內多數店鋪都出現貨物短缺潮，不止本店。」44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAseetrvfzn
44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs0MEXH1UX3
「喔！我知道，城門公告板有寫。」他升起一抹得意的笑，輕巧地把胸圍丟到我胸前，「因為全世界都想一睹勇者的風采，所以全都跑過來把傳送門塞爆。不過勇者的店子應該有專用的傳送門啊？」44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1EDslDDjul
44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvlqBknVUZE
「沒有，你想太多。」44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0LxN8ehdCA
44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM8SDubyhnJ
「那就是勇者的背後有皇室的經濟支援啊。」44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnZFUlMAmyR
44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡay4H6RB8l7
「你到底當勇者是什麼！」44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrac8oML76g
44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPaTlQrHYKU
他停下腳尖，終於收斂了傲慢的氣息，用無比認真的表情與我正視。我這才發現，白晢得似雪的臉配上純黑色的短髮，黑白分明的眼白與眼瞳，竟勾劃出異常好看的對比。44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg3xCIrlr2g
44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuTd4Epeoht
他仍不像神聖的祭司。但就某種意義來說，他像雪王子，像妖精，像──44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5CeKlCzC9y
44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNA90Ggx5Qs
「勇者啊，當然是身材高大、肌肉結實、容貌英俊瀟灑、風度翩翩、穿著一身貴麗白衣、笑一笑足以迷醉眾生、背上還有足以滅絕所有強敵的神劍、一揮劍足以讓任何人臣服。」44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ9XzKzX32t
44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwk6ogDQzNm
像瘋子。這人就像個剛從康復院中逃跑出來，穿著白衫的瘋子。此刻他痴呆的笑容讓人不寒而慄。44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhMcxONGega
44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaf9r6vzMRY
他根本不是要找勇者，而是要找男公關吧？44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡno0jNe3hYv
44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOwaDORxRms
「這跟男公關有什麼分別？」44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn6C2EqxuVo
44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7jGZWqKhG1
「哎呀？你這個白痴，笨蛋，蠢貨。勇者怎麼可以跟街邊那些男公關相提並論？」44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA8CJMEpFx5
44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsjMd03UAY3
他雙手叉腰，理所當然地說：「勇者本身就是最頂級的男公關。」44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB4J8c0pvnr
44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLY6zQQykDM
原來如此。44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDjjb39roQW
44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1Tap6FzCX6
這人絕對是腦子出水。44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBSGHT1bUMN
44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5jaPoHHSAJ
「如果你要找傳說中那種英俊瀟灑、身材健碩、笑一笑足以迷醉眾生的勇者，你可以試著去這座城東南區一間叫做Over-All的酒吧，我聽鄰居說，那裡的男公關很一流，雖然我不知道那是不是最頂級的。」說完，我好心地為那瘋子指向東南方的窗戶。44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY8xNPEMV5F
44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs0jsUtIgA1
瘋子似乎理解不到我的語言，兩隻烏黑色的大眼十分呆滯。44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzQMnDGFNWR
44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdRff1p8V1J
「你……你去死吧！誰要找男公關啊啊啊──！」44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWvt0yUWWN5
44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw2QfskYE4x
清脆的「啪」的一聲響起了，只見他的右掌用力拍到本店的牆壁上，聽上去就知道痛了，更不用形容他立即捲起下唇忍住尖叫的可憐模樣。他掐緊拳頭，用亮汪汪似湖泊的眼睛說話：「你快告訴我奧特．卡巴拉在哪裡！否則我要燒了你這店！」44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVDsayLIuNv
44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY2o0v5bOAr
說罷，他的手腕轉了半個圈，空氣間竟迅速凝聚了個火球來。真是夠了，和平社會允許他幹這種事嗎？44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ15Rb0PnlIe
44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9vVja23DGR
「先生，這樣是觸犯了恐嚇罪……」唉，還能怎樣？屈服在武力下的我，只好乖乖拿出身份證：「如果你堅持要找奧特．卡巴拉，這裡有一個。」44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjcUAAjF4g6
44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5fH4HO2juw
黑髮男子伸長脖子看了一眼，然後狠狠地將身份證撥到地上，高聲尖叫：「你這混蛋嘍囉！連身份證都偽造！」44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuvFFFBDeZA
44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv4PCzQIIUk
他哼哼兩聲，火球竟已變成一個成年人的頭那麼大。44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuK9aLQZR2f
44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpRktBBGL1X
該死的，他好像是超高階的魔法師，竟然不用唸咒，甚至不需要集中精神的時間？44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVelmDtzBrO
44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCsArBm0m7A
一眨眼，火球變得更巨大，直徑差不多是走道的寬度。紅光覆蓋了天花板的兩排白色燈管，殘影交織，熔岩似的火舌在溢流，好像快噴到我的木頭貨架……這樣下去可不行！44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡph3y0CAUrJ
44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiaby3iOcoy
「抱歉，先生，店內嚴禁使用魔法！」44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOiKl2nJgkO
44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVtE5DLS2OZ
我揪起衫袖，伸出雙手，掌心從火球的頂部拍下去，順勢拍到他麗紅色的手上。44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8DWeWGLMmk
44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYFVsDdCvRS
呼，火球消失了，連半點煙霧都沒有。44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm4a8DvxN4c
44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCB5wwkoGOl
「耶……你你你！」44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsPkUoCE0U7
44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSqo92QGdEC
祭司袍男人倏地縮開，跌坐到我的促銷架子旁，像是碰到骯髒東西般猛地搓手。發勁地盯住右手一會兒，他忽然咬牙切齒地把厲目撇過來。44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8z9Nh1ogKi
44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkKG9SSAXNs
「你、你對我做了什麼！」44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVLJGPyKRCq
44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3RNaRTRTTa
「什麼做了什麼？」44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGb070htSMM
44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgPSPR6x298
「你！你用邪術！」44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlTuyxxNED5
44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy4B4ddiKaf
「邪術？先生，我只是滅火而已……」44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvoOMzZMLwu
44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0u2vDEYEHn
「用邪術滅火？你行！你、你、你！……我、我、我……哼！好呀，奧特．卡巴拉，我、我記住你了！」44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDv1jsvMQsW
44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡASaFy7RwOF
不知道他在想什麼，總之這個大麻煩像是受到天大的委屈，用想哭的臉彎低了腰，飛奔出我的魔法店。呼，謝天謝地。44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMiuzUz7jFY
44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJQqzdc65sI
不過，將我的抗魔體質稱為「邪術」嗎？總覺得有點緬懷啊。44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9qFNx1IMW0
44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYAaYxTu55S
黑髮黑眼的人？想起來，這真是相當少見。44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFZF1HFDyMH
44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTtmjzdb9Yq
嗯，真令人不得不在意……44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPswWktPiLr
44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUZLEsuElty
唉，算了，再怎麼幻想也是無聊。我把魔法胸圍掛回原位，跑回店外把葉子再掃了一遍，專心開始今天的工作。ns216.73.216.192da2
