第四話 再見31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqOeKuimbRh
31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKEZiQea5nu
街道上，男主緊張地帶著米迦勒走在城鎮裡。31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRullYtcAyG
「請問要去哪裡呢？」米迦勒輕聲問著。31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBHPOAgrtJx
她注意到男主穿上西裝、打了領帶。這副打扮在街上格外醒目。31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCi4q7NamWv
「我……我預定了一間餐廳。」31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvYNVeATMRa
「希望你會喜歡……」他語氣緊張，步伐也微微僵硬。31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡklrey8zq6U
31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyE1sa0cURT
餐廳門口。31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU8TYeaRfdt
「不好意思，這邊未成年人不能進入……」服務生禮貌地說。31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIiMjUXwMFz
「我……我成年了！」他急切地喊道。31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoGcduq162r
我明明是15歲的男人，卻因為身高，看起來像12、13歲的孩子。31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc6WCPxowJR
（米迦勒是不是也把我當小孩子啊……）他偷偷地瞥了一眼身旁的米迦勒。31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMNmsFhSHQs
31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRn9d0UBmFF
「美麗的小姐，妳一個人嗎？」一名男人靠近，嘗試邀請米迦勒共進晚餐。31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMNIcM0Z7YT
（被搭訕了！）我愣愣地看著她。31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIHjD36IRzV
「不好意思，我跟弟弟一起來的。」米迦勒禮貌地回絕。31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmpCTX1T6T7
（對了，我們的設定是姐弟……！）我這才猛然想起。31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkA6w8DlgSj
年齡上來看，確實……是姐弟嗎？31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSidrIuK2Cj
31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7xzt9JMHCa
米迦勒的年紀恐怕早就破百……甚至是千了吧。31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOHJG4FsLr0
（米迦勒是不是從來沒把我當作一個男人……）31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVdA68YWg6H
我垂下頭，感到一陣失落。31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpywN4gcV5w
「確實，我身高像個小學生，連這件西裝也是特地拿去改短的……」31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡviasATNi4V
我喃喃自語著。31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeenxdDKEhb
「方便的話，請出示一下您的證件……」31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeVhoim8sq9
一旁的服務生語氣尷尬地說著。31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCxtQFsB2mJ
---31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd8xoZtLlEe
「我們開動吧！」服務員端上色香味俱全的高級餐點。31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGjizAASzj4
我帶著一絲期待看向米迦勒。31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU5qr8Df2Wu
「不，緋夜大人，我記得我說過，天使不用吃東西也沒關係。」31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8yHs7ONqBZ
「緋夜大人吃就可以了。」31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwgOn07Y8B6
她微笑著說。31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdElFxSa286
31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt7lJc1Y5mj
「可是……可是！」我焦急地說著。31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf36ItXoZya
31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfzOFXDGfwg
「而且這看起來是在人類世界相當高級的食物呢……」31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyOuklvupFB
她望著眼前的料理，若有所思。31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRiIwlNarqg
「憑緋夜大人的財力，有點困難吧……」31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDCrV3T10EU
31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLQZ5p31H46
「您該不會去借高利貸！」31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8jwfjTYcnN
「我才沒有啦！」31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbruhPzIkQ6
31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtQnC4eAr5r
「我還是有點積蓄的……」當冒險者也五年了。31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFP61bWsV2X
「所以想帶米迦勒一起來吃點好吃的東西……」我低聲說著。31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyqk3necRTA
（但怎麼跟我想像中的反應完全不一樣。）31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡutXWKb28qf
果然，還是把我當成要照顧的弟弟吧！31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxuxJu9nv6C
31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtmnlRkFtyC
米迦勒看著我緊張的模樣，腦中靈光一閃。31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL07sqGdmU6
（對了，要讓緋夜大人建立自信才行！）她想通了。31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtQ8dmgbSQZ
「我知道了，那我就不客氣了，緋夜大人。」31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD4JwRHBmDn
她拿起叉子說著。31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRxCEam6NXU
「嗯……嗯！」我高興地回應。31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb1pKr4SmBQ
31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAkcqcCyFfk
---31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjW2YpGs7YP
吃完後，我們走出餐廳。31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpU8yndDGch
「我們再來去買衣服吧！」我開心地提議。31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnMqPpgwQjb
「給米迦勒穿的！」31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeX3UKp0Izj
我走在前方，米迦勒則靜靜地跟在我身後。31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYHaLABT71l
31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmy5G9EFzUl
（天使不能將人間的東西帶回天界……）31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5SkAcWxbZO
米迦勒望著我興奮的背影。31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡazK9p56G3T
（但如果現在說出口，他可能又會陷入低潮……）她一邊思考。31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS407qzshpx
（總之，今天就照著緋夜大人想做的事去完成吧。）31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7HJK9vuqj9
這一切，都是為了幫他重建信心。31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFlDIXQpyOa
31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa2SE1bgNsU
在服裝店裡試穿了各式各樣的衣服，最後選了一件白色的洋裝。31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeGLIt21xGv
接著去看了一場表演，也逛了許多熱鬧的攤販。31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkC4yg3EvlG
還趕走很多來搭訕米迦勒的人。31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqvbNM40TvV
31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm8FGFO96wJ
太陽漸漸落下，傍晚的光線灑在兩人身上。31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBInMMaIvh3
31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjBOp6fYY2C
---31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBVSgciRgEk
最後，我們來到了山頂的展望台，這裡能俯瞰整座小鎮的燈火。31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk5BkXeK3Md
「那個……」我緊張地開口。31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgLjpjS4R2T
「米迦勒，今天開心嗎？」31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh8oyqbWNoX
我轉頭望向她。31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl8QXJogam5
31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkwzbTbcBpr
她也轉頭看著我。31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUeQlorf0Mx
「嗯，謝謝你，緋夜大人。」31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyRbAuEMmUm
「我很開心。」米迦勒笑著說。31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnFwSsfwcb0
今天，對了解人類現在的文化是個不錯的一天——她心中這樣想著。31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf5iTnATpQH
31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjd5WEw1xD2
（看來我之前太專注在了解魔界製造的魔物強度了……）31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJskTZ0zsAr
她轉頭望向閃爍的小鎮燈光。31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0N7vhIzOqH
（人類……是需要這種放鬆與釋放壓力的生物……）31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ303CEYsBda
米迦勒默默地想著。31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7MirJvfInR
31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbMHHqU9Jts
人類是神所創造、擁有最多情感的存在，可以說是最複雜、最多樣、也是……最脆弱的生物。31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW70IQCneOi
大多數人類很容易受到魔界的影響，尤其是那些擁有權力與財富的領導者。31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL8kPXiSCIR
結果往往導向人類毀滅的結局。31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4PXeIw9Vff
31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZkI6daTqys
（天使不能直接干涉人類世界……）31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoVTutJLbne
人類的命運，只能由他們自己決定。31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr6TRhggSoM
（我所能做的……）31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNaZUnEbttZ
她看向男主的背影。31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwysTqRI3oT
（就只有回應他的召喚，在他需要的時候幫助他……）31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQKWMcplWG8
31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9ZsxWL57IZ
一旦他變強，就不再需要我了——這就是召喚魔法的真諦，只會回應「弱者」的呼喚。31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtzsEtvOZUx
31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8xW7pGlO0G
「有機會再這樣一起逛逛人類世界吧。」31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQslHLKCEzQ
米迦勒微笑著說。31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD2UQ59nCHe
31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZGn2wZgJl0
我低下頭。31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWe6LsR6fKn
「米迦勒……」我開口說。31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzUtGWKGaVH
「其實今天邀妳約會，是因為……」31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVRRZLawwhF
我握緊拳頭。31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡetIRnjaCbp
（我已經下定決心了……沒錯……）31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo9bEfSAfbf
我在心裡默念。31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFjUBhCfHhA
31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMDoAS3nlKU
「我不會再召喚你了。」31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIkLhgz82GK
我終於說出口。31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDuSp3zX1X3
31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡavPEb7IPwj
米迦勒愣在原地，看著我。31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxRngIr6lEo
「這是……為什麼？」31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM0EXmrghmS
她的聲音微微顫抖。31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIUEjuHyehg
31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOgAJLgbc0R
「因為，我太弱了。」我說。31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx3zRQpQfN2
「如果我死了，米迦勒就會無法回到天界！」31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0d2LYRRsn8
「我不想讓那種事發生，所以……」31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX36f3DpcSA
這樣，對我們兩個都比較好。31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVMTaeFI96l
31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI1aAyy304n
米迦勒是透過我，才能來到這個世界的。31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnFCh9GfnGz
如果因為我，讓她永遠無法回去……31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2clwRSu1t5
我不願意……我不要！31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxjwvmqyEpR
31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSLzmzVT1rX
米迦勒凝視著我，緩緩開口。31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa3LORcjxzB
「不用擔心，緋夜大人。」31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡisDZgvW3ED
「這是我自己的選擇，就算發生了，也不是您的錯。」31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡanxgAoMwRO
「是我沒有『保護』好您。」31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTInui1u6Yu
她說完，靜靜望著我。31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHCp7TF3qJN
31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa92AlMN8wc
「我不要你的『保護』。」31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPhOqxdeUnh
她的瞳孔微微顫動，凝視著我。31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCq6RRKpMpp
31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSD85i4gwmt
「我也想變強啊！」31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMgUs137JIj
我忍不住激動地喊了出來。31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV8gWhRXOR4
「我也想自己打倒魔物啊！自己生活！自己賺錢！」31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmKDYDQgR9j
「我明明這麼努力！」孤身一人成為冒險者。31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ13qofYWh3G
「結果卻完全沒有變強！」永遠的E級。31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqIMG4PzZwZ
「所以我想要一個夥伴，可是……」31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLbQq1HZXPU
31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNTi34MAAO4
「你太強了。」31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdLvFqTVAKd
我看向米迦勒，她震驚地看著我。31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡluFDu57jYx
31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4jMDSgRY7s
我一開始，根本不是想召喚天使。31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEn4e2TFsdE
我只是想要一隻能陪我戰鬥的幻獸。31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTH2IZ9Q7ia
當「米迦勒」出現在我房間時，我完全震驚了。31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQPtEA6f7cM
她是人類的模樣，會說話，能戰鬥，還能成為冒險者，人人都喜歡她。31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzrw38hTa74
但是……31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS6Y8q1BZ2c
31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN3JkX23jzO
「這樣根本就不是夥伴……」31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5Jd8YACg3G
在米迦勒眼裡，我永遠只是被保護的對象。31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiUJYUUHjTZ
在她身邊，我永遠只是個累贅、拖油瓶。31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD1l7vFGtXi
我們注定不是同等的存在，是最弱的我，與最強的她。31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmezc1X0y3C
31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYaDKkRYZhQ
「我今天帶妳逛城鎮，就是為了跟妳道別。」31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSP3d56zg8V
畢竟天使已經三百年沒來人類世界了。31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBeQyq1dipo
「希望未來，會有其他人召喚妳。」31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe0QvXS8jwA
這樣我也不會留下遺憾了。31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoedD2z1oM8
31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCF1rXdIqZ9
（我還有要做的事，我得找到我的父母，所以……）31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyHJVRLu89m
（我必須自己變強才行。）31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJBS5l3N4Ks
我抬起手，雙手合十。31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBxJP6aJIFA
31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡloI3RzigA1
「等等，緋夜大人！」31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyqZjne3mNG
米迦勒焦急地伸出手，想說什麼。31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVeDPeHYUhu
31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3TzX8aDtXe
「再見了，米迦勒。」我低聲說。31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSH7pXLOmRx
「能與妳相遇，我真的很開心。」31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhVMEW8MTHX
我關閉了，與『大天使米迦勒』之間的召喚通道。31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtlL3ShUIsN
31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKtUls48n5g
米迦勒的身影在我面前消失，只留下她身上那件純白的洋裝。31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCfaoc8BBVY
31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBWzyUrq20V
我站在原地。31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8IHWhBGAL6
「喵！」焦糖從我的衣服裡鑽了出來，31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7le0FRFEdU
牠那三條尾巴，在夜色中閃著微光。31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXMJ4TW6oD5
「焦糖……」我歪腰撿起地上的洋裝。31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD17TV1XWPV
「如果下一個召喚物……能是你的同類就好了。」31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeURYfNB9D5
我手中拿著那件洋裝，望向寧靜夜色下的小鎮。
