「嗚嗯……」趴臥在木桌上的人影發出呻吟，嘗試移動長時間壓迫的雙手卻不慎碰倒一旁的雜物，巨大聲響伴隨揚起的灰塵，里多這才夢境中醒來。35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHFI68BLEad
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiWUzoYu56i
「咳、咳…」他不記得自己是什麼時候睡著的，但根據壓在他臉下東西來看，里多極有可能是在思考基礎法陣時失去意識的，眼前一堆幾何圖形加上他還不是很懂的符號，對一個剛進門的新手來說跟催眠曲差不多。35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgqJllv8weA
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡATdD1l6QCE
「早安，里多。」

循著發聲處看去，里多的新夥伴坐在窗台邊，清晨的陽光從窗外照在她身上，使得原先淡黃色的毛顯得更為透亮，帝妲抖了幾下耳朵，似乎已醒來多時又或是一夜未眠。35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx0lK1Ds4HA
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVwCFsCiu8A
「…嗯，帝妲妳也早安。」里多抓抓頭，還不是很清醒。35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZoNUn3BA9E
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCtKRmZ0z7Z
「先去洗把臉，我在客廳等你。」帝妲說完甩著尾巴離開窗邊。35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhWjfNz7F3b
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbrvaHpnlwf
里多縱使感覺疑惑，還是乖乖走去盥洗，經過一段時間的相處，里多大致上能了解帝妲一些行為的用意。35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0xRejN4wcc
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9TSsJjrufN
所以當里多走到客廳時第一眼就注意躺在桌上的包裹跟信。35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTiz7D0eApR
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSFhwTqHnIT
「你的頭怎麼了？」35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3DHndRKc1i
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTMEdHzgIXM
「嗄？」里多一恍神，下意識摸向問題處，「我試著沾水，它還是一樣亂翹。」35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhFfGpOxv91
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJtKJmfq38Q
「那什麼？」35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvdImYA8t8h
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkZceYNy5jc
「魔法協會寄來的信，應該是任務。」帝妲用鼻子頂了下信封上蠟封，說出她的推測。35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUgKsJPSzwQ
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYScFvHSCqX
里多小心的把信拆開，比起這個他更在意一旁的黑色盒子，但帝妲好像比較希望他先處理協會的事。35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKLALbBUYvd
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPHVHJSHkhO
「信上說要我們重新繳交照片。」里多把信攤開放在帝妲面前，他知道她想自己再確認一次。35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOYZRr8V7sN
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7TJ4S48qFl
「原來如此。」35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ96SsDbcfNK
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSAtag5KA9H
「可是我沒有正式服裝。」里多當初只簡單收拾必要行李，更別提什麼魔法師正裝，在旅行前他還只是個普通小孩。35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnfbJcPmGNm
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1GV2iB1MZq
「你現在可以拆包裹了。」帝妲說，用毛茸茸的前掌把包裹往里多的方向推。35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0LPqFIxMVm
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5HM8smg1ZQ
他把盒子放在腳上，想起不久前收到的禮物，他清楚記得打開時的興奮情緒，那套父母親送的夏季套裝他還沒穿過，里多並沒有把它帶走。35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT98fgT72ZD
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnQtNmukvlv
里多掀開盒內包裝用的襯紙，摸在手心裡的黑色布料是柔軟的，帶有一點香氣，襯衫、領結、短褲，最後是一件長長的斗篷，里多翻遍包裹裡的東西，就是沒找到任何留言或署名。35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3ktIrjndsJ
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFUUI5os9wF
他帶著不確定的眼神看向帝妲。35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0H3eZrUg4K
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4KLU6pBqoI
「…收下吧，這的確是給你的。」帝妲心裡清楚，但她認為還不是時候。35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlsC02rBFGY
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpgajn57QiM
里多不覺得這是巧合。在那之前，他得煩惱的是該怎麼解決魔法協會派來的第一個任務。35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBMQuqbKCuw
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu96sTUXwuN
正裝有了，可…照片？35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRx9ZbVxg1Z
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxa38N02oVk
停頓三秒，里多像是想起什麼跑回房間，帝妲則是坐在原地等待，經過一陣明顯是翻箱倒櫃的聲音後，里多回來手上多了個東西。35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeEiXzXC3Nc
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjh1PDdPu0C
「從出門到現在都沒充過電，我不確定它還能撐多久…」35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDpbJEv7Hiw
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3phu1xFaRR
是數位相機。里多一邊檢視一路到山脊城所拍的照片，原是是為了紀錄方向避免迷路，卻意外發現多數照片裡都能見到黃色大狗的身影，里多不由自主地揚起嘴角。35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY4DK3ia2GL
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡALEZJWZQKW
不知情的當事人甩甩尾巴，「那還等什麼，趕快拍拍回送任務資料。」35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzJk3f2ftfk
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnTu7bADWvc
里多經提醒後回神，才看見電源顯示上頻繁閃爍的紅燈，果不然相機螢幕下一秒收黑。35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOusTJSwPji
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIw5twgwbms
「啊！」35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡifgsGZmvDc
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQIJ7ZTeM0l
「我記得來之前有說過，山脊城好比原始村落沒水沒電，就算最近的有電城市也要走上三天路程，我敢保證絕對趕不上截止時間。」帝妲哼哼幾聲，走到一旁喝水。35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuxahcmHJBC
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg9KXaorZXd
「嗯…下次開機就要決勝負了。」里多估算殘於電量還能拍一張照片，暫且放下相機，進而研究起只在電視裡看過的魔法師服裝。35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDjwQ6KxtjF
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5zUmTAa33O
沒有想像中困難，就跟日常衣服一樣，不過材質讓人驚喜，意外的穿起來很舒服，不過－－－35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVAkP5cxiSP
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM8UM3pIUSX
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUxsFyRStNg
「斗篷好像太長了。」身型是符合但過長的下襬拖在後頭，里多不自然的拉著斗篷，帝妲則是歪著頭。35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlKKT9NrDXF
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxiVsygQEMR
里多再次拿起相機，信上是說照片，但沒說明要全身、半身或大頭，而他只有一次拍攝的機會。35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ4vpYAjx8c
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU9P2t5mPVA
「帝妲，」里多很認著的看向黃色大狗，「妳能準確的按下快門嗎？」35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzx1CbGFzGR
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeHSB4N1tvj
這陣子觀察下來，帝妲靈活的程度遠超越里多對狗的理解，但基於禮貌、他還是問了。35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5p168uoLnS
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbbQBkmDKJM
「這我沒嘗試過。」帝妲想了一下，走到里多旁邊看著相機，快門的按鍵是依照人類手指的大小設計，她實在不確定自己能控制力道按下快門而不把相機扳倒，但她願意嘗試。35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY8pZZzO81J
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmv3mSW1DPD
一人一狗討論起較佳的拍攝場景，最後決定選在日照充足的臥房，雖然途中也有考慮是否找鄰居來幫忙，礙於一屋子雜亂不方便見客、二來後續解釋很麻煩而放棄。35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3NFzL3TRnB
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnHLgB4DGEk
里多搬過一張小矮凳，用幾本辭典加高好讓相機放穩，他熱得流出一身汗，一心只想趕緊把這見鬼的魔法師正裝換下。35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUBCxnJatGb
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy394HXug1V
「妳確定妳可以吧、帝妲？」35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUMa81rmTF3
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlaoKKAAvW6
「即使我說不行也沒有其他選擇，還是你願意自拍？不想在協會出糗的話就快回去站好，想辦法把你的頭髮弄整齊比較重要。」35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz8DjTmuQb6
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmKDTOqEQ9w
里多早就放棄頭上的事，他拍拍衣服上的灰塵，實際上他沒有拍正式個人照的經驗。35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXpU0seamjJ
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkyVV8IIwuR
他很緊張。35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOjs2zBodgs
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsEIsiHHjPC
「笑一個吧，沒必要連拍照都如此正經，碧翠絲他們不會因此幫你加分的。」35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQMXIVeWku8
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5JTljFDrlA
「妳記得開機鍵在哪吧？等鏡頭自動對焦後直接按下快門。」沒心情開玩笑的里多一心只想著相機的事。35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAKSvzei21k
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr5Z5ifGyFN
「應該…是這個吧。」35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIOtazxaWer
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEcSjpkXHfD
「妳開機了嗎？」35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtf8D1uS0N4
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3E4SoX59o2
「然後對焦……」35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT5l7Pt5cKo
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQigIIC6z3M
「我好像看到燈在閃，妳已經拍了嗎？有對好焦距嗎？妳－－」35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfdnZTrW5eD
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyBGpaAWAVW
「里多‧阿爾馮斯！你干擾到我了！」帝妲狠瞪一眼不安分的小主人，快速確認畫面後她艱困的操作前掌按向快門鍵。35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKufAcnoz8X
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8hetEMOi6B
「………咦？」35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8ciXAGJHuI
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKweHPGNjzZ
「怎麼了怎麼了，有成功嗎？」很怕再被罵的里多盡量保持不動的發出疑問。35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5w0HCQv3Ce
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl1JMgQFyZJ
「螢幕像你說的有閃一下，但怎麼還亮著？」35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9iDDyUGpYk
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLBemJRQchj
「它還有電！」里多衝向前，就在帝妲以為他要確認成果的時候，里多按下相機電源。35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeSjWcVHl2M
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvyUaxx00Wt
「我剛就在想…假設我成功拍下照片，我又該怎麼把相片印出來。」35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzCbK7imHEo
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ04mNsLQQyC
因為被相機沒電的緊張感過度刺激，完全忘記後續的步驟才是重點，帝妲張著水汪汪大眼，「把記憶卡寄過去？」35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIQq3nGrxr3
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSNy0PY9jSb
「不行！」35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJjy7p0fTVk
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJdzoXhqbsy
「那你有更好的辦法嗎？」35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnecbtHKWe4
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrUvt3hQvYe
「………」35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo5Ag6pwR44
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlSq0H8O1UB
「沉默表示認同，就這麼決定了。」帝妲昂首搖尾的走離臥房，一大早完成重大任務後的她決定去吃早餐。35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjLf9pNyDmr
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAhi3U1uoMo
被獨自留下的里多在床邊坐下，趁電源耗盡前飛快瀏覽記憶卡內那些關於過去的景象，最後他停在帝妲幫他拍的照片，螢幕裡的人跟之前的照片一比皮膚變黑，過去服貼柔順的黑髮被他剪短、髮尾還亂翹，此刻的里多還無法撐起法師正裝，過長的斗篷顯得他更為矮小。35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhM1YKlCx7Y
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwAJyWg0CpB
螢幕第三次在他面前關上。35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaB2QkhGnAS
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOt1k9NKvqn
里多經過幾次深呼吸，抽出相機裡的記憶卡，小心地跟信一起放進魔法協會的信封裡。他換下黑白色的衣服套回短袖短褲。35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcd3FrXTtDE
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmCr9Uvh0Lt
如何回覆任務什麼的晚點再問帝妲，他餓了。35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiN2X9v3PPI
