第1章 勇者是最頂尖的男公關43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1E6kOewUFA

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。43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfjCLzz1fc6
43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGv8JPGl4Wa
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。43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2c07ibq1SD
43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrx2OHp19v2
甚至乎，每個季節也有不同的任務。43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡydyZhpvbgI
43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQelBE7e702
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。43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYJN8pOlnLH
43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrwjj7HJF9d
「於金盤中盛放的火楓」，是對西原城的美譽。43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtuBtfAOGnG
43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUc1UtCRosJ
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。43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS6lbY6QaBw
43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ93cRALCpe4
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：43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS8y3K6SlAQ
43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ21wnEMDlYV
「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！」43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyI9Rf8ObLu
43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqZZLZ3oU1j
「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！」43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4LDbiKtt17
43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLTuZxDTYOM
「客人！那肯定是你使用不當！」43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWFvU17pYPN
43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAjB1hfzZTv
「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！」43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7BJPJbAUCZ
43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHGouMgwoGL
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？43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRxM49LPvSS
43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGtKN9Ty13s
「……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？」43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIEswOzwqPp
43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡueAwYTl2Ou
我好不容易把嘴裡的東西吞下肚，跑小路返回魔法魔法店。43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE6pNuzELoi
43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyWoFxWc5pR
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。43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYobpAsk84j
43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4m9R2cZFVA
雖然，半個月所賺還是不夠支付爺爺的安葬費。43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmh6NpjN6Zb
43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTlNl1FkLME
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。43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5om92nYkmi
43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuiisaSdU6J
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。43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhyjFr9aQ2C
43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDefwDfiA1T
「哦哦！這裡就是魔法魔法店啊！終於到了！」43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhXu0ijetS7
43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd2MaFKbKn8
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。43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwKHItdSpzp
43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ644YuAqCFc
該死的，誰走路沒長眼？43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxYhOaZnUXA
43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn5hDNqz2ya
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。43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOf5YeP9CoL
43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmnIszy8GpH
是邪教祭司嗎？那還是小心點為妙。43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPdDGbWGB3k
43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5OQINlck1r
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？」43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ91jutg3MBr
43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNje9QTx1Q1
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？」43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr6Ldp1gIof
43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmAO8izXHyr
……糟糕，被徹底路人化了。43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLtNRrdhYlr
43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ846UtWrkSM
「我就是店長。請問──」43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoNHcOW4Rmu
43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb89XLwsixN
「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。」43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbhspgIAS7W
43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgsrdBT6Gxv
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。43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡderWQllGjD
43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWRk58Oryl3
又來一個慕勇者之名而來的非．顧客嗎？真是夠了。43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjjD3jfMrXD
43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfPqbCv0Whp
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！」43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiJzaKPzLhY
43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2zTWW3rjcw
「吵死了，我的勇者怎麼會雇用你這種吱吱喳喳的店員呀？」43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq1RiXuispJ
43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGohLjq8rwr
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？」43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjV1FtBPpwp
43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrXe0jE6xmZ
「那是昨晚的。」43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKBIZITKPgc
43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvuEcAQQEge
「呸呸呸！你這種爛店員怎麼連最基本的泡茶都沒做好？」43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqA3mop7TME
43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnJz7SAZt1s
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。」43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJY5liIxIkP
43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7yDaUloMjn
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？43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHoM4ktZ0gl
43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa2ddCrkKwF
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。43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU86MoKIxfH
43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO76bXfVaiN
「勇者的店子怎麼好像什麼都沒有？你有在做事嗎？」43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjorDd1SvWQ
43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2AFXqbcn3p
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。43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDM7a7sP8Hb
43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3XhBCrr9BB
「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。」43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ17vhoiGKvB
43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7bEZipFzBv
「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？」43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTkro4UsoQc
43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzJAttxDkp7
「沒有，你想太多。」43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzNXvyHfWAQ
43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsgJVTbPrqe
「那就是勇者的背後有皇室的經濟支援啊。」43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYbyqHODAe4
43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh511wr5jkK
「你到底當勇者是什麼！」43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEmXZp78WXZ
43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEOLXtpPFtA
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。43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyUMXsJb458
43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDGFq2hi1ww
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──43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7KkTtvth1Q
43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPoZG94USzs
「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。」43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7V65RPRwlh
43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE2abyy6egN
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。43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPzwnAFhtI4
43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlJQxUoNMJx
他根本不是要找勇者，而是要找男公關吧？43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUmOaWcgF7k
43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjDexIjpGdY
「這跟男公關有什麼分別？」43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMhI325gZ79
43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnBMXKTTzJH
「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？」43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLLXPRnGyDT
43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJPWftC0rCm
他雙手叉腰，理所當然地說：「勇者本身就是最頂級的男公關。」43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEaU8bz7pTq
43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQEY4zGhmcd
原來如此。43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgRBEQzv9kU
43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRuqMVP9CeJ
這人絕對是腦子出水。43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV0ceVHuzW3
43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgrAPwRUNDm
「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。43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGO2wMfEE4z
43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw2GDHZD0B6
瘋子似乎理解不到我的語言，兩隻烏黑色的大眼十分呆滯。43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqNVW4muXbl
43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzcf7Rb9FiB
「你……你去死吧！誰要找男公關啊啊啊──！」43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9NDM082i45
43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXIhZQG08xJ
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！」43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9bubVMLJO2
43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBkrQvUTunO
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？43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR4VryzsK73
43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNhjKv5F1oj
「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。」43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVCmiLVOlql
43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSNCzuLf64C
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！」43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLY95PgObgy
43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIuYUtBuXQt
他哼哼兩聲，火球竟已變成一個成年人的頭那麼大。43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7DqOhwWNPu
43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLMJ5zK4Xpu
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？43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ95j46lkxw4
43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFC65n7h1FJ
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！43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs7F7I3w6uO
43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoTDJWe5ltK
「抱歉，先生，店內嚴禁使用魔法！」43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7INdKnI9yA
43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeEzaytKY2W
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。43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbDOCwGajXy
43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc5aENBI9en
呼，火球消失了，連半點煙霧都沒有。43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTadwvuKIYI
43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZfwlZL3vPX
「耶……你你你！」43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgZYFWoF4AN
43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmAotzfH1EB
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。43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2Y9bSu85No
43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnkjnqOvrVU
「你、你對我做了什麼！」43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKn3J3OEJXQ
43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb0t2jaEyzB
「什麼做了什麼？」43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIkwFTOD0RP
43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJxf9TX9m8b
「你！你用邪術！」43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi0w01E4ujs
43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3YpQOCmNAz
「邪術？先生，我只是滅火而已……」43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCBacC1EtiZ
43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPMeqc5tEtl
「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！」43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYrCvckZbXm
43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUWZYUNgjZP
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。43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIQr1PlBoVW
43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKpbEo6cnu7
不過，將我的抗魔體質稱為「邪術」嗎？總覺得有點緬懷啊。43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPKqBerUl4H
43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBOO5BOThNv
黑髮黑眼的人？想起來，這真是相當少見。43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPCkZ78d3Jr
43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbyWBierwET
嗯，真令人不得不在意……43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpwCy2ZD6Pa
43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZmRALn2MTq
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。ns216.73.216.69da2
