細細的，銀藍色的絲線，在陽光下並沒有反射出光芒。64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnZuImWqGjk
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIpl1PKfcez
盛夏的黃昏，風輕輕吹著，但吹不動那些絲線，也吹不動操縱絲線的黑色身影。64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUEG0CA9uQF
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdcfuE55XMT
但那人紅色的髮倒是隨風微揚著。在這片與他的髮色相同的天空下。64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqGfRLMyNpa
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ916ZN98jvx
風大了起來，深紅的雲朵捲動得愈加快速，血般紅的夕陽將這片荒涼的岩石地也染紅了。端坐在大石頭上的那人「嘖」了一聲，似乎嫌這狂亂悶熱的風吹得他劉海都遮住了視線。他撥撥前額的頭髮，偏頭看向右後方，在那裡的岩壁陰影下突兀的有著一個小花圃。在這種炎熱的天氣裡，大部分的植物都奄奄一息，只有一株向日葵直挺挺的站著，面向陽光。血紅的陽光。64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqwOqaJ4162
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2k8IbUYjmi
他精緻的面容上出現不豫神色，手腕一抖，幾絲銀藍查克拉線射出，黏上向日葵的莖，現在只要他輕輕一拉，金黃花朵就會切斷――64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlimaAQRjYh
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnG3ASS55gG
「別這樣，蠍。」64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRAPwg0K7nQ
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyjwMlHcSU5
他轉動琥珀色眼睛，沉默的看向出聲制止他的橙髮男子。橙髮男人站在不遠處，淡淡的說：「那棵向日葵是小南花圃裡唯一長得好的植物，你折斷了它，小南會傷心的。」64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwG4H6Ua7Ix
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJoCvGqXeU4
叫做蠍的少年――應該說是「看起來」像少年――沒有收回手的意思，他冷冷的說：「這花很礙眼。我討厭向日葵。」64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDx5UE23mhU
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxYM0Fr3m5M
「能告訴我原因嗎？」橙髮男子――培因面無表情的詢問：「如果有正當理由，也不是不能讓你切了它。」他嚴肅的態度讓人不確定他是不是在開玩笑。64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkSR2y5HaO9
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUjcDPltNHk
「如果把向日葵比喻成人，它給我的感覺就是笑得不知人間險惡的傻瓜，追逐著得不到的太陽的傻瓜。我討厭它們用盡力氣的燦爛，永恆對它們不屑一顧……除非作成壓花。」64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrSbEFM9128
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpQRDkciIV9
「蠍，你變得會說笑了呢。」64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBPJW9A7Uvh
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMysjFVoz0t
「哼。你不是來跟我抬槓的吧？首領。」蠍直勾勾看著培因：「說吧，有什麼事？」64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKEipusfsN2
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8gGICJ18JG
培因單刀直入，簡潔的說：「任務。我要你去找一個人，把他帶回來。」64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4HXrWNG46H
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7SFmWCnCtB
「要活的，還是死的？」蠍冷然道。64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpqyc98Sp3k
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJhuZwiG3tE
「我想你不會要一個死人當搭檔吧。」64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4fcxbwdExU
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8HGj3MxgLS
「你的意思是那個人是我的搭檔？」蠍的臉色更差了：「我不需要那種東西。這四年來我一直都是一個人行動――」64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn6y70T3TOW
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcHEnJh2YeN
「情況將要不同了。」培因打斷他：「兩人一組是慣例，讓你一個人行動是因為之前還沒找到適合人選，你應該為了將來捕捉尾獸的任務準備――搭檔間要培養出默契才行。」64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHHSZYVowkZ
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC9vvTuqIoE
「如果我沒記錯的話，捕捉尾獸是好幾年後的事吧。你的『默契培養期』還真長啊。」蠍嘲諷般的回話。64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsvT1B0mylS
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnecXTtS13F
「對你們來說可能還不夠長呢。」培因平心靜氣的說著，曉的成員一個比一個桀驁不馴，他不認為高傲的蠍會願意輕易跟認識不久的人合作：「只要你別像角都那樣把搭檔殺了，幾年的時間足夠你們彼此熟識了。」64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI2PZUz68Qp
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM8K8ArUI5Q
蠍不置可否：「我可不敢保證我會不會殺了他。」64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvbght2e93d
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6m0Wf7kA9Y
「你不會的。」培因突然笑了。64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz3ZHyltlDR
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhUAYUeJ45r
「何以見得？」64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOw05nvxdmx
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgx1wYlHRFD
「直覺。」64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRlQ2rMgvRd
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAvzy8mTDJ8
「……」64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjSX6aqGsaa
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfXlj1MkEgH
「你明天就動身吧，我讓鼬和鬼鮫同你一起去找他。」64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ912FqSm2Ty
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEoHeTuajKx
蠍沉下臉：「你什麼意思？認為我連個人都抓不回來嗎？」64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg5eSMnYA6i
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkDfIC8kepH
「正好相反。」培因一派輕鬆：「我怕你們一言不合，你一氣之下就宰了他。鼬比較冷靜，他至少能阻止你這麼做。」64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTAi58cQq7L
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfhQwLcKxHc
「剛剛好像有人說他的直覺不是這麼認為？」64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyCe2h24ZjS
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡozDkUTXxaz
「我是指你們比較熟了之後。你知道人與人之間相處是有磨合期的。」64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGDGJxIhne8
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDM6JUnnaI5
磨合個頭。蠍覺得培因根本是在說歪理。64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6IdmZqkY29
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNFqEArTTrt
「明天是吧，」他決定別再跟培因拗下去了：「他在哪裡？」64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEIzHGQ4x4e
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtctn9SzZjn
「他和最近在各地引發炸彈攻擊的反國家恐怖份子在一起，他們的幾個根據地我們已經掌握到了，待會我把地圖給你。」64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuvYcB6AIOy
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG8FzIPhxWi
「名字？能力？特徵？」蠍一古腦的丟出好幾個問題。64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy1ovwvy1yA
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR794KepgWe
「他的名字叫迪達拉，能力是使用炸彈，特徵是一頭長金髮和海水藍的眼睛，雙手上各有一張嘴……」64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmg43Pb6ujg
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoMPZ00g6wy
「奇怪的名字、毫不藝術的能力、該不會是個女人？手上有嘴？」64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ85YKW3BDt1
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu3xDcEuCYe
「他是男的。」64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMBlthNhBK6
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY1OOOZzyry
「算了，這些不是重點，我要回去了。」蠍收回向日葵莖上的查克拉線，起身。黑袍下襬在微風中飄動，胸前與身側的紅雲在奇異的光照下像是要滴出血來。他踩著拖長的影子，行走於紅色的岩地上，往基地入口走去。64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXjXch25dWV
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrvpTiTfxaO
「赤砂蠍……」培因喃喃道。64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB0oyc0fb3D
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLBntAAy7pU
蠍回頭：「幹嘛？」64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWrMe5hI5O6
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQDFYYjqve5
「沒事，我只是覺得這景色就如同你的稱號一樣，夕陽把大地染紅了呢。」64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2hp30ZKBfu
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsCA2HIlTCZ
「無聊，」蠍說，「我的『赤砂』指的可是被鮮血染紅的土地，才不是這種自然現象。」他轉身又走。64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4nY1NFlZKw
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBHc4VpMGZF
培因仍站在原地，若有所思的看往花圃的方向：「那算我說錯好了。不過……你還真的很討厭向日葵呢。」64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf7gNDVLup7
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpoMNcdMjSL
蠍哼了一聲，沒有再回頭。64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYcqVUOV3BY
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZpLB9X2RiH
風又變強了。「唰」地一聲，向日葵上半截應聲落地，斷裂處切口平整。64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFbFwFkUER3
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmTGE08L64g
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4kn5Fvozer
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQEOfzhTa3t

「好像是颱風要來了呢。」小南說。64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5yG1hODpqN
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT4DzPwKy2Y
「嗯，晚霞紅得很不尋常啊。」培因把向日葵插在透明花瓶中，擺到窗邊。64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3HxUoizKWs
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqbMN3pxyJK
小南有些心疼的看著那朵花――在這個基地的這幾個月來，那畦小花圃可是她的心靈寄託。這地方太熱了，跟多雨的故鄉差很多。64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf93bG3lzAp
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlPYS6E0VWt
她看著側坐於窗前的培因，紅光灑上他半邊臉，金黃向日葵也變成詭譎的橙紅色。64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRfNtLJHntU
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN2YdfZ0wuq
「培因，明天蠍、鼬、鬼鮫就要走了吧？」64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTmLn7MC6dN
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbRFeOUXbym
「沒錯。」培因開始漫不經心的撥弄起向日葵的花瓣，只有在小南面前他才會顯得如此放鬆：「帶著『青』的戒指去找蠍未來的搭檔。」64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6rnvraaUx1
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY98u3r4OD1
「新成員啊……是個什麼樣的人呢？」64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJrWXJpBNlA
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgoAnskWROu
「唔……」培因停下手的動作，別有深意的輕輕笑起來：64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrhMM3OEkpJ
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUyksN0eKyB
「真要我說的話，是個像向日葵一樣的孩子吧。」64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMrbPdpJfmx
