第四話 再見33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGzk0yYFfvw
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZivcM61m4y
街道上，男主緊張地帶著米迦勒走在城鎮裡。33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaBUCyekapg
「請問要去哪裡呢？」米迦勒輕聲問著。33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCwxJ4Uubcl
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。33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAdS0YqpBNo
「我……我預定了一間餐廳。」33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡruVzpJvwpn
「希望你會喜歡……」他語氣緊張，步伐也微微僵硬。33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXu64VBFEyx
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvZHlYIcsXA
餐廳門口。33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7NBkgQbWJh
「不好意思，這邊未成年人不能進入……」服務生禮貌地說。33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVxbcXRBrjE
「我……我成年了！」他急切地喊道。33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNG42hwoZk8
我明明是15歲的男人，卻因為身高，看起來像12、13歲的孩子。33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtEi4NugHY5
（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。33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9Vamhlq445
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0e5QEuBSFQ
「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。33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5L8f9Hsm8d
（被搭訕了！）我愣愣地看著她。33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdul2w2P9y5
「不好意思，我跟弟弟一起來的。」米迦勒禮貌地回絕。33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFMX0BlWcZ3
（對了，我們的設定是姐弟……！）我這才猛然想起。33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQSJtqnCvrd
年齡上來看，確實……是姐弟嗎？33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW1uXB4upOO
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVZwtcSHncs
米迦勒的年紀恐怕早就破百……甚至是千了吧。33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6L5Tei5dEX
（米迦勒是不是從來沒把我當作一個男人……）33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVlO46Q72Wt
我垂下頭，感到一陣失落。33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡasLmXM6TrS
「確實，我身高像個小學生，連這件西裝也是特地拿去改短的……」33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJWInKnf2m6
我喃喃自語著。33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfxibVrIyfb
「方便的話，請出示一下您的證件……」33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4VyNhZdsOx
一旁的服務生語氣尷尬地說著。33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnox0FL2GtH
---33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVSiy1cFB23
「我們開動吧！」服務員端上色香味俱全的高級餐點。33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIcZAziSbgm
我帶著一絲期待看向米迦勒。33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpp8sbQpHcg
「不，緋夜大人，我記得我說過，天使不用吃東西也沒關係。」33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3OAuBTbJpd
「緋夜大人吃就可以了。」33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj5eK6fthFa
她微笑著說。33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVbdqKtzaBX
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcNomCcpvSf
「可是……可是！」我焦急地說著。33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvMom3aa8Mi
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj6qk1rGcJZ
「而且這看起來是在人類世界相當高級的食物呢……」33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvZldPtsbPz
她望著眼前的料理，若有所思。33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxRaLDDG0yE
「憑緋夜大人的財力，有點困難吧……」33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiwt6988c3v
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzeq9KEmY3E
「您該不會去借高利貸！」33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmmqN0on69c
「我才沒有啦！」33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnNhtwm29RK
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDa4X2Kbj1b
「我還是有點積蓄的……」當冒險者也五年了。33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXWpQfMX8nC
「所以想帶米迦勒一起來吃點好吃的東西……」我低聲說著。33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZsb75zdQ9n
（但怎麼跟我想像中的反應完全不一樣。）33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8v3BEROjMt
果然，還是把我當成要照顧的弟弟吧！33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqiBnYZsnxZ
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9k6uIwgX90
米迦勒看著我緊張的模樣，腦中靈光一閃。33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGCQvQywLcl
（對了，要讓緋夜大人建立自信才行！）她想通了。33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8TFyJb3m7e
「我知道了，那我就不客氣了，緋夜大人。」33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9BW0MJ48U0
她拿起叉子說著。33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGMG5bz7RbR
「嗯……嗯！」我高興地回應。33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpH5wr17W8T
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhiMDFovC2E
---33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvs4wbLm9Wb
吃完後，我們走出餐廳。33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNRmwYolzKE
「我們再來去買衣服吧！」我開心地提議。33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLOsV6dq3Dx
「給米迦勒穿的！」33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡafndpzBQt8
我走在前方，米迦勒則靜靜地跟在我身後。33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ15smlwcXk1
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRMc0mM5OK4
（天使不能將人間的東西帶回天界……）33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpleuInPzBl
米迦勒望著我興奮的背影。33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhgGE0ncUG3
（但如果現在說出口，他可能又會陷入低潮……）她一邊思考。33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCgFc59imyC
（總之，今天就照著緋夜大人想做的事去完成吧。）33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB0UhLDLzmF
這一切，都是為了幫他重建信心。33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfb1jveJxuL
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy858DOLTuk
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。33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqiaETwklQQ
接著去看了一場表演，也逛了許多熱鬧的攤販。33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlYE7BhBVDk
還趕走很多來搭訕米迦勒的人。33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFld64jCTzh
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiAU68M5IMF
太陽漸漸落下，傍晚的光線灑在兩人身上。33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGVbO9bGTb4
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡycej45J1OV
---33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ47knAYAp8q
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。33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ27WBzskPZg
「那個……」我緊張地開口。33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXoaDzBnNpp
「米迦勒，今天開心嗎？」33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPoGxbUeIdI
我轉頭望向她。33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrPF3clCKlU
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡss6Cv1W3F3
她也轉頭看著我。33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCKzdRefQb5
「嗯，謝謝你，緋夜大人。」33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyNZC3WG4Gt
「我很開心。」米迦勒笑著說。33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaB7XhWt2nI
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。33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmQO979g9ub
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCWg4fTDSu7
（看來我之前太專注在了解魔界製造的魔物強度了……）33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfe9M1i1LFH
她轉頭望向閃爍的小鎮燈光。33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUtnM6tBmWm
（人類……是需要這種放鬆與釋放壓力的生物……）33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzW2pJybVKv
米迦勒默默地想著。33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSngexVEBct
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5YsghcBbsq
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。33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpsr4LcfPJL
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。33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgM3c4FQ4W6
結果往往導向人類毀滅的結局。33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpIhZxqxjfT
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOhdc3jQIZ6
（天使不能直接干涉人類世界……）33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq8FjqUhCKl
人類的命運，只能由他們自己決定。33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpSKiYDuNl3
（我所能做的……）33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMsRRlrQo1z
她看向男主的背影。33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoTmLUBio0P
（就只有回應他的召喚，在他需要的時候幫助他……）33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOVuURcDxMm
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPkEWs1FxN3
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。33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY2G5PBah9Z
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmwGp7lsamX
「有機會再這樣一起逛逛人類世界吧。」33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTCCwGYJSyA
米迦勒微笑著說。33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuZSZdJS4nu
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUBGc2gUdmY
我低下頭。33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1d0deLWVnj
「米迦勒……」我開口說。33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSwxYr5sPaY
「其實今天邀妳約會，是因為……」33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8TAlgfpzw7
我握緊拳頭。33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyIkzlZyWlC
（我已經下定決心了……沒錯……）33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0zNXcI49ol
我在心裡默念。33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEy5FEsWHDd
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPHcUbmJh2V
「我不會再召喚你了。」33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuSWfs3pvyF
我終於說出口。33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp3MsRxyaPj
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkCvNZxBqfH
米迦勒愣在原地，看著我。33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbCv8ZSoqkv
「這是……為什麼？」33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbc0yvl66lK
她的聲音微微顫抖。33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9gSS2I6aIC
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRIwFDZ4GDS
「因為，我太弱了。」我說。33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOlvSlPSxf0
「如果我死了，米迦勒就會無法回到天界！」33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlKeWsRzrpB
「我不想讓那種事發生，所以……」33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAog4Go6R1G
這樣，對我們兩個都比較好。33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLKx8qaxgdI
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgItAoHGpcc
米迦勒是透過我，才能來到這個世界的。33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrpu5NCNR0x
如果因為我，讓她永遠無法回去……33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCEldjf91PD
我不願意……我不要！33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9LMJun4Qbj
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWdjiVXUUmw
米迦勒凝視著我，緩緩開口。33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIuMMP90rSu
「不用擔心，緋夜大人。」33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8jWPRyAG0g
「這是我自己的選擇，就算發生了，也不是您的錯。」33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyKGc9DbXXC
「是我沒有『保護』好您。」33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvp4GfwjYDu
她說完，靜靜望著我。33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCPtNlyLF1R
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6U6f311mDz
「我不要你的『保護』。」33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfAuWGYCwCw
她的瞳孔微微顫動，凝視著我。33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn5OlOxAAdI
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn1oRArE3hd
「我也想變強啊！」33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL4KdP2uARs
我忍不住激動地喊了出來。33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkmKYSLQ05r
「我也想自己打倒魔物啊！自己生活！自己賺錢！」33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIbmDPpYWYV
「我明明這麼努力！」孤身一人成為冒險者。33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ53X3IlkDJ6
「結果卻完全沒有變強！」永遠的E級。33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsWYZmYK0FZ
「所以我想要一個夥伴，可是……」33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaW2ZuZRe2p
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhnqlGdaM2C
「你太強了。」33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoy2LjmyQe7
我看向米迦勒，她震驚地看著我。33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtBfEk29j3A
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3w0ABb3DQR
我一開始，根本不是想召喚天使。33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnp5gBGwiiP
我只是想要一隻能陪我戰鬥的幻獸。33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe76rJXVEEz
當「米迦勒」出現在我房間時，我完全震驚了。33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSQP7vLM7MA
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。33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtXZ4eqB988
但是……33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU9cQYR1wVc
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmMSH5pbc0x
「這樣根本就不是夥伴……」33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSqNoEOToWW
在米迦勒眼裡，我永遠只是被保護的對象。33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYyvW3G9JiE
在她身邊，我永遠只是個累贅、拖油瓶。33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEsivZtKI1O
我們注定不是同等的存在，是最弱的我，與最強的她。33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCEopDabErV
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh93qcxC4pj
「我今天帶妳逛城鎮，就是為了跟妳道別。」33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuTLi9zzNcb
畢竟天使已經三百年沒來人類世界了。33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0HKteAbAp4
「希望未來，會有其他人召喚妳。」33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtKoNYAJfQd
這樣我也不會留下遺憾了。33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmXTFvg4Dfm
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡws6qRqJNr2
（我還有要做的事，我得找到我的父母，所以……）33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3qaBAOKClD
（我必須自己變強才行。）33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeAd2tpqCbM
我抬起手，雙手合十。33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzwjcjBHBL0
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrq7jKoSEXQ
「等等，緋夜大人！」33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV5TohNyCP8
米迦勒焦急地伸出手，想說什麼。33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAW1se2PzEn
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp1eNHbK8y9
「再見了，米迦勒。」我低聲說。33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpL9cLJXQbA
「能與妳相遇，我真的很開心。」33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuasgpz0hcd
我關閉了，與『大天使米迦勒』之間的召喚通道。33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4cD5Z909zQ
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxBi2BwE76k
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。33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcPalbX4Css
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc0AHMj8SBq
我站在原地。33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa4JtNtAHG3
「喵！」焦糖從我的衣服裡鑽了出來，33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ37bf8vrfKm
牠那三條尾巴，在夜色中閃著微光。33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB6cnrwF8ex
「焦糖……」我歪腰撿起地上的洋裝。33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeW6gLT6MdL
「如果下一個召喚物……能是你的同類就好了。」33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5sZ1XkyagX
我手中拿著那件洋裝，望向寧靜夜色下的小鎮。
