時光飛逝，終於來到薄暮城天文學會年度大會舉辦之日。妲羽獨自坐在套房裡，看著面前平放桌上的星盤，意識不禁飛越到薄暮城，想像年度大會裡空前盛況。學者們激烈討論的場面迴盪不停，而自己卻要逗留在這寧靜無聲的房間，沒法反駁他們滿口謬誤與歪理。388Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlYEN8JK4bB
388Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVgiZ7YyTnn
388Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuc0mpCtiXi
真實的星空、一切答案就映在自己那散發微弱星光的橢圓盤子上，然而妲羽並未能把事實一一訴說，每次總有自詡前輩的人搬出歪理反駁、或是把妲羽當成愛胡亂說話的小丫頭，而這次更是直接被捲入事端，失去公開發言的機會。388Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1GGlsojBr9

388Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxB64FMWIPr
大概到了大會開始時間，妲羽於是打開套房裡的大屏幕，一番搜尋過後找來了年度大會的現場直播。388Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBvuK90Fl7O
388Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdb4es7Yd7R
388Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8oB6HtAbET
看過修伯特會長冗長的開場辭，鏡頭又轉向了幾位自以為是的老博士，口裡仍然是大堆謬誤，煞是難耐。388Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYjdhkThPF6
388Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2uK6RqXNmX
388Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxKU2nhFRe9
快要打起瞌睡之際，直播片段裡突然響過一陣雜音，冒出幾個白色身影衝到鏡頭焦點前。領頭的老頭子無視周遭一切驚訝目光，以凌厲語氣指向正主持大局的修伯特道出來由：388Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXxgvG1UaKi
388Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡURbyM2Z859
388Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡShsYIR6jSy
「這裡是樞密院罪滅組，現在懷疑你們私藏擄走院內政要的犯人，請盡快把她交出來。不然的話……」發話的老頭說著又故意掉過頭來，望向會場上方的攝像鏡頭高聲續道：「今日將是你們最後一次年度大會！」388Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLhY0x4Kjx7
388Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSwg37mMRtT
388Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAsVmGBYckh
「等等！您們誤解了，我們天文學會公正持平，絕不包庇罪惡。」修伯特連忙朗聲為學會上下辯護。388Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrQarVDnTun
388Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtvwLgYIf8O
388Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwUwYUImh37
「你要是在心音小姐面前說這句話，我可沒法保你不死。你還是快……」388Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡojEm8aiOjR
388Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYMjqP8mACl
388Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc4C3VNqV1x
老頭子話說到一半，直播影像便突然中斷，屏幕裡只剩下大片藍光，再沒有聲音或是映像。388Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp92iPYfLZv
388Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzT9KrY8maD
388Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLKPBZuPeOu
然而，被這突如其來衝擊得目瞪口呆的妲羽，冥冥中亦意識到那些白衣大人正威逼修伯特會長供出自己所在之處，遂連忙提起魔匣，撥下堇叔叔留給自己的號碼。388Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMBuMJAddnK

「堇叔叔！妲羽很害怕，樞密院的人似乎已經知道妲羽在聖火城了！」388Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpYfUWLlfm4
388Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡac7TPxj3Ja
388Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMAo2kxtPJi
妲羽的話伴以一副緊張語氣，傳至聽筒另一方忙於籌備公演的堇金耳邊。388Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGdoc4dpk8l
388Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaVbYZBt7vn
388Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqM9gNlbh3P
幽暗的廳堂裡，除了堇金以外，還有坐在圓桌前品茶的法依與旁邊握起青光卡片冥想的佳依，沉默細聽堇金與妲羽的對話：388Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ82qFy78RqS
388Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuktgPmqATM

「妳卡帕哥哥會保護妳與小少爺離開聖火城，不用擔心。」388Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZuT8msRSvG
388Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmxK1gWeK0u
388Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR8rG1PIMe1
知道卡帕亦要隨兩小子而去，法依喝過一口紅茶，托起腮望向堇金，回想起早前與卡帕的閒聊，略顯失落地嘆氣：388Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeh3mzne5Ro
388Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2qizirT71v
388Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIE5dOebBNL
「卡帕也要走了啊？明明剛才還叫他要期待一下我們的演出，真沒趣～」388Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6oy988HK1I
388Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQKeXiURSn2
388Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp6LfWOdCzD
「法伊，這也沒辦法，再這樣下去連我們的演出也會受影響。」而佳依則淡然以虛火灼燒手上正位置的「隱士」牌面，止住冥想對法依說道。388Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtSzsRRklhf
388Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR4xcXYGQQE
388Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtJf4To4Ogf
在法依沒精打采地往嘴裡灌茶的同時，佳依又不忘暗自反思占卜得來的結果。她心想：「隱士」是退隱深冰中的智者，把自己的權力、威能一一藏於手上燈籠中，隱身於暗處靜觀其變亦不失為壞事。388Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtLlxT0iA53
388Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjPDU924a2K
388Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhHeoL2uoTQ
「堇先生，您是要卡帕帶著他們回到黑輝淨土嗎？」等到堇金掛斷電話之後，佳依又率先開口問道。388Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmPKrRLwmsx
388Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZhWqk0Yzww
388Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk5QtvQYJi9
「果然騙不過佳依的占卜術呢！本來我想讓卡帕看完妳們第一場公演才回去的，的確有點可惜呢……」388Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxdRRwRUdba
388Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzfPLmwA9Up
388Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9PRyuJPdeM
而法依則繼續沉默不語，難得找到一個讓自己提起「興趣」的男生，卻沒法多找幾個機會挑逗他。哪怕要待巡迴演出來到黑輝淨土，才能再次沉浸於他激情的幹勁中。388Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdCbTJyyZUI

拋下這句說話後，堇金又轉過頭來，看了看金色魔匣裡幾句報告，遂撥下卡帕的號碼……388Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx7WX2VGoBv

388Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGjlr4cNPcR
這邊廂，在堇花塔裡監督手下鍛鍊進度的卡帕，忽然聽見口袋裡響起一陣爆裂鈴聲，便掏出外表簇新的橙紅魔匣接聽這來自堇金義兄的撥號：388Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNOlmkNdtZG
388Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaAwtXpYone
388Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3TYT85LGeG
「卡帕，今日之內可以把小少爺跟小甜心送走嗎？我怕我們這邊收容不下他們了……」388Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡueMhCNxhkr
388Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ10JCUGQtn8
388Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRwYRwtrTPL
「樞密院的人要過來聖火城了嗎？」卡帕磨拳擦掌，腦裡冒出帶領麾下兄弟與這幫崇拜命運神的人渣決一死戰的畫面，頓時津津樂道起來。388Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFJLsnSCpeF
388Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1hmHvtnRaj
388Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy59JEZcg4u
「別衝動，卡帕。你現在去向他們宣戰，只會得不償失。我們還不是他們的對手，你先把孩子們送回去，其他容後再說吧。」聽筒後堇金嚥下一口口水，再道：「你儘管記住，那兩個孩子是我們對抗命運的棋子，無論如何都不可以讓他們落到樞密院手上。」388Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡimvMy6Yg4U
388Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCIglru4rwE
388Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9MqvyOuxY6
堇金義兄的說話，顯然不無道理。388Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFxjYNeL0Xq
388Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSUhgD3bIIg
388Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3NWD2ac0Fs
在未知樞密院一方到底掌握多少情報下，為免打草驚蛇，卡帕深明此趟不能借用堇紫青金打造的專屬列車，甚至不能帶上手下兄弟。他只能像到訪此地那般，裝成普通市民混進乘客之中，帶著默默離開。388Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0KiDhZ3itD

聖火城沒有直通車直達黑輝淨土，必先要經浮光淨土轉乘長途線。而對於這麼一個中途站，除了想起那些人臉上那副自私自利的醜惡面容，早上看到一則關於城內怪病蔓延的新聞，亦讓他歷歷在目……388Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkvtDKw5zzX

卡帕懷著速戰速決的意志，快步離開堇花塔，踏上集體傳送法陣趕往鄰區某遊樂場與手下會合。388Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRPQA4RmRX0

「烏普西朗，我們要離開聖火城了。」388Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2cFTj85VVv
388Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGAvlTmoyfv
388Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZvTW2kf2dt
在兩西裝男護送下，烏普西朗得意忘形地，才剛踏進滿是機動遊戲、歡呼聲不絕的主題樂園，便被從後趕至的卡帕抓住兩肩說道。388Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBsyFxt6Qvu
388Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWkvdd4GqNZ
388Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ01s6nnq7Vd
「怎樣怎樣？你找到伊歐鎝了嗎？你要帶我去找他嗎？」甫看到卡帕一副著緊抓住自己，烏普西朗便認為對方已經找到伊歐鎝的下落，夾雜興奮聲線連連吐出幾句問句。388Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPu6YDMHWew
388Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw0zaW0G9Cf
388Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjNDGVr37oS
然而，卡帕只是搖著頭，推著烏普西朗回到入口方向，低聲在他耳邊照直說著：388Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeGtHqZHWS8

烏普西朗仍未來得及反應，便被卡帕匆忙帶回聖火大酒店，進入頂樓套房收拾細軟。388Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgjWjdcgEui

打開大門，見房內妲羽站在大廳裡，作好離開的準備。388Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfLyAwexj2n

388Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOWvQRhk7fU
一瞥魔匣屏幕裡停止更新的對話框，眼見情報組的兄弟亦未報上消息，卡帕也只好攜上神情呆滯的妲羽，再加上被略帶緊張的烏普西朗，分別為兩小孩穿上黑色斗篷後，便握緊未知多寡的時間赴往聖火城車站。388Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd385pQt2mH
388Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ62b2MOJqJG
388Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqsNXN6X9BC
順利成章地帶著兩個黑色小身影走過熙攘的車站大堂，無意中聽見當中途人細語閒談，提及到浮光淨土與怪病一事。388Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaByjWe5B3o
388Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBJu3B9UC40
388Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgax56Kq9sa

388Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYzL6H5tdO2
388Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTyOkA2H602

388Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY7kBBsVeDl
388Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9Zzm8GJLXZ
然而卡帕無暇理會眾人恐慌流言，只管環盼四周，提防每片人海裡潛藏的伏兵。好不容易從售票員手上接過頭等車票，卡帕遂再次抓緊兩小孩的手，快步走下自動扶手梯往列車月台走去。388Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS9uYfUizNu
388Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxWTBoF0GvR
388Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIU8G3btZ41
直至登上車廂，三人圍坐到頭等軟腍的座位上，卡帕才稍為鬆一口氣，交叉著腳滑起魔匣。而烏普西朗亦卸下黑斗篷上的兜帽，望向隔壁跟著脫下斗篷、正連忙把魔法帽子重新穩在頭上的妲羽發呆，緩緩從緊張繃緊之中放鬆過來，靜待列車把他們帶到安全地方。
