這簡直太荒謬了，以為罪證確鑿卻是一場空。先不說竟然不小心與比自己厲害許多的人做對，真的槓上了不知道會有什麼下場，這就算了，現在看起來只像是自己在無理取鬧罷了。308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1K48uj1HeG
308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYWBhkOfGlL
二郎鬆開手，任湯花帶著驕傲氣焰將紅色徽章塞回口袋。308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJB1U1J3C1T
308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzMFWY425jk
「妳……」他仍舊無法理解，「都高級了還偷我們的東西？」308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiIVjqwcDOE
308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKfMzG9DFIQ
「天啊，都這樣了你還認為東西不見是我偷的嗎？」湯花的浮誇程度明顯是在責怪對方了，她扶著額頭，隨後無力垂下手，切換成警告意味濃厚的低沉嗓音，「我告訴你們，我們做生意的最講求誠信，敢隨便栽贓人試試看。」308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9L9aSdXbHH
308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1qRISd1znP
都講到這個份上了——而且湯花的氛圍轉變也頗讓人害怕，完美詮釋了何謂翻臉比翻書還快——哈吉爾不安地靠近二郎耳邊輕問，「你確定真的不是自己弄丟嗎？」308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyTg0k3NTvT
308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡILYLlMUvXX
「什麼？哈吉爾你這傢伙真的是遇到女人就弱掉了啊！」二郎不敢相信連同伴都開始懷疑自己，小聲咕噥回道：「……我沒有證據，但肯定是她沒錯。」308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjTAu7Dnnb1
308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5sZpSgSrN6
你要不要聽一下自己在說什麼？這樣我要怎麼幫你啊？哈吉爾愣了半晌後開口，「那麼……我覺得東西應該還在她身上。如果是我的話，我肯定會藏在——」308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfej4irDuS7
308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXu5rju4X6g
「幹嘛？你們兩個大男人難不成要搜我的身嗎？」308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKYM3sNLGQn
308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ2eJkpj5oS
別的先不說，湯花就屬聽力特別好了。她雙手大剌剌敞開，「來啊，摸啊！要搜就搜徹底一點，摸啊！」308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡneNQNUroFR
308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1TWw6EtyVk
她咄咄逼人的語氣就像後頭的汽車喇叭，逼人不自覺催緊油門。308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0Dk4OyEyDq
308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt9SvAzGDlo
哈吉爾明明完全沒有那個意思，卻被湯花的口氣嚇得抬手，彷彿要往前伸，又被自己理智給拉回。他只好朝二郎求救，可是後者只顧瞪著湯花，根本沒注意到哈吉爾無助的眼神。308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiTstUCcRmz
308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU8CCzcLf2z
應該沒關係，不要碰到身體，只檢查那個的話應該沒關係吧？308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCaoTGb2pl5
308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMWUMdsyx52
在內心天使與惡魔的激烈拉扯後哈吉爾開始伸手，魔法師的魔爪正緩緩靠近湯花傲人的胸脯——308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwiNgpagL4F
308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfTnoF0ZNsj
二郎及時握住哈吉爾手腕。308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4wdrgslmER
308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0L85CdpKG6
沿著藍色武士服袖口向上望去，他正對著湯花露出得逞的賊笑：「妳自己說的哦，我們會徹·底·檢·查·一·遍。」308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnOoIlLVhBp
308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSbrWm4oSKf
「二郎，你……」哈吉爾難以置信。308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQYCxgxuYGp
308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwZDQt04h5u
當然，身為當事人的湯花也是震驚，她就是仗著對方會被自己氣勢嚇得退縮才如此大膽，完全沒料到二郎竟然……308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQgvTiVDzY5
308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9aESBSUu58
「呵，變態。」她冷哼。308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRTWqLt1mcb
308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3MILy1bbUm
「妳在想什麼啊？我有說是我要搜嗎？」308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ874Jc7w9Eh
308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKcVLg26Fh5
蛤？湯花一臉懵逼，仔細一瞧才發現二郎的目光其實不在自己身上，而是她身後的紅色布簾。308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsfEvkaKLA1
308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPe78zxhgkt
「在和梨出來以前妳可別想跑。」
308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0MeEUxGPAB
308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvuARWK0Eha
等待和梨的這段期間哈吉爾已經幫二郎的手治療得差不多了。308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKsI01M0Vbl
308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ81C1eYnrAI
以防湯花把偷來的東西藏匿在別的地方，他們也把整個肉眼可見之處全都搜刮了一遍，翻箱倒櫃到都快誤認自己才是強盜了，卻是一無所獲。308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOP6BGtrRti
308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2jhdZcw25u
時間流逝地緩慢。308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPMCSVfIwJO
308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWiVEx7z5V6
斑駁白牆上的掛鐘滴答作響，比起音響傳出的輕音樂，已經無事可做坐在大廳休息的他們更在意秒針移動的速度。308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiYegzI5C5D
308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuyHwufIiuK
「和梨是不是泡得有點久啊？」哈吉爾有些擔心。308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxQluYlRlZA
308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡntulLjawGh
「她不是說第一次泡溫泉嗎？應該是玩瘋了吧。」308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsgCJ3xnhoh
308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf6BIEJcsvz
掐指一算可足足過了一個小時，普通游泳就算了，40度的溫度不適合泡那麼久，和梨又是一個人待在裡面，要是滑倒撞到頭了怎麼辦？308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd37vuH5iti
308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaeP5w2AW2a
哈吉爾差點就自告奮勇說要進去檢查狀況了，突然發現好像不太適合，欲言又止。308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNS9VGWxMmv
308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsXPQgs7Arx
「既然擔心的話那就讓我去看看吧。」抓到機會的湯花開心極了。308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrV6LS9avP4
308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9YPLhjDoNE
雖然能理解哈吉爾的心情，但二郎覺得又不是消失個半天一天，也許泡著泡著太舒服就睡著了也說不定啊？而且這很像和梨會做的事。308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEfoC3b1yQM
308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg1dYLVM2ky
看那賊笑肯定是想趁機開溜或藏東西吧？二郎才不會上當。308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMz0mThnZly
308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡStchLf6CRe
「不行！別以為我不知道妳想幹嘛。」308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkW4I7FIE4w
308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqe37dTaYq5
「因為你把我關在這的關係，這段時間我都沒辦法進去巡視泡湯區，要是溫度不小心上升到人體無法負荷的程度，你朋友可能就……」湯花故意舉起拇指在脖子前做一個割喉的動作，「溫水煮青蛙囉。」308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPf9kUa55ck
308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKKLOcROeIX
看一旁哈吉爾都快衝出去了，二郎暗自吐槽他不夠了解和梨，那傢伙就算變成青蛙肯定也是那種跳來跳去最煩的青蛙。308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmx29M514hu
308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5cxUYbcVof
「唉……」但為了隊友他只好妥協，「妳去看看吧。」308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ4iZprUs6S
308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmAPpjeUHdi
看見湯花隨即露出孩子般的興奮表情，二郎立刻補槍，「但是！妳進去必須大喊和梨的名字。」這樣和梨就能聽聲音立即監視湯花的一舉一動，避免她把贓物偷藏起來。308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6ctrgMvaAh
308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxXGhhZPKpq
「然後哈吉爾，我們要跟著進到女更衣室的湯區門口前。」308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBnlWxzpRHr
308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzQo0Fq8H2I
「認、認真嗎？！」308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjwRlAuS1ES
308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS3XB2Xhgsh
「要盯緊這傢伙不能讓她有一個人獨處的機會。」二郎解釋，為了抓犯人他還真是用盡心思，「反正沒有要進池區，看不到啦！你就當作我們要當和梨的保鑣好了。」
308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxh41ok0v9D
「我還是想問……我們這樣做真的好嗎？」308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ49IFMNL2YB
308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNpdhZv4zXG
哈吉爾戰戰兢兢走進女子更衣室，明知道沒有人卻還是東張西望，腳下吱吱作響的老舊木板令他繃緊神經，卻只換來二郎一句「良心不安你就出去嘛，反正我心無雜念。」308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1SF9BCisZp
308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr3IuUgi8Vh
「我也沒有雜念啊！」應該吧。308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyuzS0LpT6i
308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTeRLSBxJti
走在前方的湯花拉開毛玻璃門，斜眼瞥見自己果然被兩人監視著，悻悻然大喊：「和梨！妳還要泡多久？」308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvx1FttYbvX
308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIZ4hv3HdOy
叩咚！造景竹筒的水填滿而垂落，聲音迴盪，卻不見任何人回應。308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjOE5oxZpr8
308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQGD6AmCxAG
一秒、兩秒......五秒過去了依然鴉雀無聲。308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡatHHxxBNuG
308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0ZUzerzOdV
二郎與哈吉爾面面相覷，擠眉弄眼用表情問著現在是什麼情況。308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFOvAuAhoMo
308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX3Iqmf2KDk
「喂，聽到的話回應一下好嗎！」湯花的口氣明顯變嚴肅。308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZpyaUZ2QBN
308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQKTyLMRIis
泡湯超過一小時不是什麼太嚴重的事情，她見過許多老阿公老阿嬤待在熱水裡兩三個小時都沒感覺。308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvzkQ4lEUzH
308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGoxLV4RZvI
但沒回應就另當別論了。308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgCRvbBXQCz
308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIPLY3hUVjc
溫泉是讓人放鬆休息的地方，但不代表絕對安全，不然他們也不會限制三歲以下孩童禁止進入，與父親相依為命的湯花更不會在湯屋營業時間被綁在這裡只為了定期巡視女湯。308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRs4aZYBHiz
308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4kPeWeNJk9
客人可能滑倒、可能因溫差過大而休克，意外總是暗藏在生活周遭。308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUIEO1iYd1d
308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHaP8Rfpaup
人們是死是活湯花其實也不是很在意，但她唯獨不容許有人在這裡發生三長兩短。308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh44iXbPpdh
308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡopvmi5krAH
「這裡」可是她的家，不是可以隨便死人的地方。308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoazS4i168y
308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0nLvtrXTp7
「別鬧了！快回答我！」湯花喊著，慢慢步入水蒸氣瀰漫的空間之中，她的聲音在容納五六個池子的諾大場地內迴盪。308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlNwpOsfDyW
308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡovglNorNag
她左顧右盼仔細尋找，最終在淋浴區隱隱約約看見倒臥在地的人影。308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtGCOnBvelX
308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfYQLI2wFtF
她立刻跑過去，果不其然發現和梨趴在地面，右手指穿進塑膠小凳子中間洞孔，看起來是要拿椅子做些什麼。摔落在地的蓮蓬頭上有敲擊的痕跡，和梨的肩膀、手肘處皆有瘀青及擦傷。308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJN4xPy5Kyi
308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb2fIrN1VUm
這根本不是摔倒這麼簡單的事。308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw1FeC2QbTx
308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzPxelKozuG
「喂！妳趕快醒醒！」湯花激動搖著她，和梨腳上有個什麼突然抽走，咻——地縮回一旁熱泉裡頭。308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡely4zqEDMR
308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzD81m3u8aU
雖然速度很快，但湯花確定那個東西很像透明觸手，卻不知道到底是什麼。308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO72Ivsp9vp
308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6iBEx5p1v9
「嗚……」和梨呻吟，終於睜開雙眼，她皺著眉似乎不大舒服，「是妳……」她又昏沉個幾秒才開口：「白靈……都這麼兇的嗎……」308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4xj4oFmd7Q
308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTnMPpCcNJ5
什麼？308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmKYQiRmcZo
308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVWs7a8Wtwv
湯花愣住，才赫然想起和梨泡湯前一直跟她說聽見哭聲。308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzgz3j5Uep9
308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHfKplxsf20
她真以為那是白靈才不管的，因為白靈不會攻擊任何人。308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaseRzO0aqT
308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQABsNOVGGl
「湯花，女湯這幾天不開放，我懷疑裡面有怪物。」308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLPJG76Mr9h
308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ77vxwxGhUh
她忽然想起父親幾天前曾說過的話。308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqMeyxQkbru
308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEjsBLK62gS
父親說好像聽見小孩的聲音，但沒看到人，後來湯花跟著他一起找了好幾次，還是什麼也沒發現。308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡisoattpopw
308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBLDpEG519t
為了以防萬一，父親堅持要去張貼任務請冒險者來解決，湯花只覺得他大驚小怪，明明什麼證據也沒有，都嫌最近生意不好了還繼續亂花錢，那筆任務的費用給她拿去揮霍還比較值得。308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhjtVkJ7oli
308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ2Jli11Saa
「真的有怪物……」308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWLvEZTzVfu
308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHAYByZMwxL
看著和梨滿身傷痕的憔悴樣，她才驚覺自己錯了。308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9QoxK5dPJr
308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsE00vM6gQF
倒抽一口氣後，她不安地看向剛才透明觸手縮回的那個池子。308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡExAbcS5bKK
308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTdK8Djyuth
漣漪悄悄晃動著。
