第1章 勇者是最頂尖的男公關59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAOgayjlTg6

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。59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡup2ZWQ5O6Z
59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ7PBNXVQnb
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。59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7imZh9ZUkE
59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡstWjkKInMA
甚至乎，每個季節也有不同的任務。59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfsv903scC7
59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXpPy6A5o75
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。59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxYUl39t0pl
59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd410hs2Rb3
「於金盤中盛放的火楓」，是對西原城的美譽。59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeWNM1nH6W3
59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVemzddrN3T
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。59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzYeccnrQKX
59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXdZuO3VgDS
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：59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkkAyQxXCvQ
59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj1TDcucOB2
「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！」59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3DXFv8A9wC
59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzH6a42ZKT3
「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！」59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLW6t1XcrlN
59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxz0py0Bzgf
「客人！那肯定是你使用不當！」59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiWhCSBgBPI
59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLTHKQZbVyN
「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！」59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMI2huKVD2G
59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGUa5DAsfqu
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？59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk8VsEJkCvK
59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJlV57BUyfa
「……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？」59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIeFcKrtPpc
59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHHzz5WUiH5
我好不容易把嘴裡的東西吞下肚，跑小路返回魔法魔法店。59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQHCAdIemaO
59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8SFT513YNd
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。59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoh4jRvtWAb
59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuxvQ9ZCVk0
雖然，半個月所賺還是不夠支付爺爺的安葬費。59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ81rZGzUXkm
59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLTdyLbn8GL
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。59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXnlvg218ai
59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6ojFH41zyO
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。59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYd91uBXmDg
59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMRXbeuL9x8
「哦哦！這裡就是魔法魔法店啊！終於到了！」59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6jCyESYJv0
59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkX57pt47Fr
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。59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCG8CrghbXH
59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5uPIqUITyi
該死的，誰走路沒長眼？59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7bgTQLnSOJ
59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcb7CAXQGM7
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。59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwntA6gQEWO
59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMq58J8AYsL
是邪教祭司嗎？那還是小心點為妙。59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSiTI8ME7iR
59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq4GqfywiYM
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？」59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqJO5HdNAPF
59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt4HtoRAEev
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？」59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFvWfjJFObj
59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQNJGX6ajLT
……糟糕，被徹底路人化了。59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNxgrDr05cI
59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyjnQHxvAsF
「我就是店長。請問──」59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxHWgN75xQc
59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡczQNl1Ag4n
「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。」59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjsVUexKBV0
59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV6DzyM6tR8
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。59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqp6oeiGAN9
59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPu9LiQstXe
又來一個慕勇者之名而來的非．顧客嗎？真是夠了。59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9ILrXdnwes
59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoJCiiycWOh
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！」59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwlfCWwWkS0
59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6c870AE8ju
「吵死了，我的勇者怎麼會雇用你這種吱吱喳喳的店員呀？」59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVG540B6GC4
59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxR2Q3VociY
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？」59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBTvdrCODnP
59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGw7fJOeBqf
「那是昨晚的。」59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcjwDWvvYej
59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXIkitkXvUm
「呸呸呸！你這種爛店員怎麼連最基本的泡茶都沒做好？」59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiVr5KfyrD4
59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqHCGkuSlKg
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。」59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdSx5LUKeqj
59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw6buJErY6p
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？59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC6T0VJ1YJ1
59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKbLi5hPUzR
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。59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8PYtFCwUTB
59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC8ZrQAGy8k
「勇者的店子怎麼好像什麼都沒有？你有在做事嗎？」59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsywLSVBbdc
59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBV813NFvm0
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。59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZyJWZiNj2x
59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzI3BrsAH6g
「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。」59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdyZXF5H1pX
59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXFgy376uxv
「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？」59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyoYekuyv7E
59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8OQJ54JRsq
「沒有，你想太多。」59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK2Pkq7gRJx
59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS4kBBs27LP
「那就是勇者的背後有皇室的經濟支援啊。」59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAP3pcZj6Ki
59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwA32H4engb
「你到底當勇者是什麼！」59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVX8xzY1bMa
59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4jHOJIWt1x
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。59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLKlNBD3YHG
59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSbAkPrQ4gC
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──59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV6gYkKEBOI
59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJL5AjXaOzk
「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。」59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0Gj8BJ4rBd
59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgPxc0c47hu
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。59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9moshPNmjn
59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL3t21SAENt
他根本不是要找勇者，而是要找男公關吧？59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdCSv50rDy5
59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6hQcGly7lL
「這跟男公關有什麼分別？」59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcayuZ7rB4K
59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQoIaYA5aQ8
「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？」59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi3FLZl2aOO
59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsubcMC9WWN
他雙手叉腰，理所當然地說：「勇者本身就是最頂級的男公關。」59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVxPGFSRBYP
59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd7goQZLAoI
原來如此。59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡek1XHacXJN
59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5COZ6ZNF3K
這人絕對是腦子出水。59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcdyIyueGFp
59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIPrz3NBRFq
「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。59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡck5xwovH8p
59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3GYUKyvdAF
瘋子似乎理解不到我的語言，兩隻烏黑色的大眼十分呆滯。59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡePnqLmRMnS
59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDy5Nt7WLMB
「你……你去死吧！誰要找男公關啊啊啊──！」59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8VyrbqjV4P
59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXM2aUPsyS1
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！」59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡynnrVKsVNj
59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡst0gYYsgha
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？59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcJ7q3bG92G
59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUlaogfuZO3
「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。」59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmHv0H578n2
59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOLJhkygZlC
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！」59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7AchPGFVZS
59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrVqXfyp12e
他哼哼兩聲，火球竟已變成一個成年人的頭那麼大。59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOkDZuYRCCj
59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3xKfPyIJHK
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？59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjn7sYBMu3C
59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFabe6bjB1q
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！59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCUnMEydAXW
59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxw9FuABbFi
「抱歉，先生，店內嚴禁使用魔法！」59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj6K9OTxdwZ
59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1ihJKzGstx
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。59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡswF6uyEu3D
59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡviRMg29Emk
呼，火球消失了，連半點煙霧都沒有。59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoVI08u0BL9
59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcu8Mjwn3e3
「耶……你你你！」59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtdTjHqPfBK
59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡli7eqXivRP
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。59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYk0O5OgDNK
59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3QKCDvmTqI
「你、你對我做了什麼！」59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMwgJFCsI7t
59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6ER1mu65Vh
「什麼做了什麼？」59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJu0YVfNQ99
59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYMQYf0N0jm
「你！你用邪術！」59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7S8NBIHAAJ
59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnsmzOZV62N
「邪術？先生，我只是滅火而已……」59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOm5btr5aRg
59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrcV5HfQKQb
「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！」59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡabJqi9TlTO
59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcYdhxzQFgU
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。59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8xvyHlKeUW
59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6WLe9jgmdm
不過，將我的抗魔體質稱為「邪術」嗎？總覺得有點緬懷啊。59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp0hlfOHxM2
59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW4oNjEvWP4
黑髮黑眼的人？想起來，這真是相當少見。59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgxyygsOffv
59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5TBonVervp
嗯，真令人不得不在意……59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3jtetdELM4
59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD9IvFyQtgu
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。ns216.73.216.238da2
