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。296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1a08ZzF6Yg
296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡja2RSw5pOL
296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkuqcvmcpW5
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。296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6ZcjsbHo3d
296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFY7Qx2kAcp
296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeQTv1meDuJ
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。296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUi8jTXLv7y
296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmXFOvGPyZM
296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZTXbZ7ip3l
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。296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKFBkckEQ5S
296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkMNZBNpI1y
296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0u3VXKWlNx
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：296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5rfyiVLpLH
296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSMqL6eZPnZ
296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡev78SMiKJx
「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！」296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfCQx8bx2Km
296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRWlQp7JOjq
296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgooyBVHb49
「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。296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRixWgWOyPF
296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzr1GejsL9q
296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSi6OGpweDu
「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……」296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzmRgOsJNnj
296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRtL7GZECD9
296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7oOsHlpnau
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。296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE6EAAwuTq9
296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ34MF9ukhHU
296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrr4e780xor
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。296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsxdAdQ3Z8d

「小甜心？怎麼了？」296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ92Z0FHfaBz
296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxpFEvm6Ci7
296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcw2nVV25og
「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！」296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYAtaGPevdW
296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHGdkDuJ5gO
296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpEv4Iq51Ex
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。296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2lta72Jn5a
296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUeH6C7sJDg
296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl34s8kZIRL
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：296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPrR8dzoNta
296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkLL1Dm7IBN
296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm1YlIwtjMZ
「冷靜點，小甜心，請相信堇叔叔。」296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZtMOAHbigc
296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6GXsmc9z48
296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNIo1tLdvyk
「那妲羽是不是要離開這裡了？」296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKeRFo5t2F2
296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡszGpIvs5Fv
296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4KOuy0JwVz
「妳卡帕哥哥會保護妳與小少爺離開聖火城，不用擔心。」296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKifkfwYXxD
296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVeG5TmhhsX
296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsb73pUjK5e
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：296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB6Yi4k4eUN
296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv0PeAjyHJH
296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOTiZznt4y2
「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～」296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmKQcnbMnsB
296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEeaj6lVm6k
296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9PrxoER6Xn
「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。296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2MpRpEdDsx
296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHQQN8t0HAr
296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn1x9H1cgRK
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。296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2S4SZ6kYI4
296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSxg2fZRaN1
296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8hBMsWsHs5
「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。296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0W6xMWd6gt
296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8Deu8GtR9s
296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2Mwj1HP5E0
「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……」296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDSDvcapLP6
296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgtJnyXmbim
296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg1kUP0oe55
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。296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLSQ6WEikXd

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……296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwhvAiXMxz3

296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuL9eqWsAUS
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：296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOVY9hVxMxT
296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB7FefDaX2q
296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqzBRIIaEfP
「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……」296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIUhHAuN9Tx
296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhyht3IUkTk
296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD3pT0i5WgO
「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。296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgUTrb6gOol
296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWXrSmXodgw
296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrXyxnbjw1q
「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。」296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoog844OSNX
296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT31IH1SH1E
296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJUy9ZpFG2C
堇金義兄的說話，顯然不無道理。296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgjhx5CwR9T
296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRPpzhRyhzO
296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOfh1wBuPvH
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。296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJNxYXY2Uu0

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……296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkmNGm2m72F

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。296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKmv9GXF597

296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLLUTryhI6z
296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ97ub6XgAYL
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。296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm9IL9rRZcQ
296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmSmNuuQqpA
296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9XjfMY19ql
「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。296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnpWuqxWRfn
296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1nTMtk290U
296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBXCOJxsDxh
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：296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvQB8nunWHp

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。296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKkoaM3aS2O

296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0PCvm2C4bK
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。296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMfCy168Fcc
296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdyAhBJtuJ8
296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvdJvZ5ol0I
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。296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡumy5sTNDJc
296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7nKXSaLRAV
296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiD0L2aZEZR

296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX2BUJgMoIg
296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTVn5g07aKY
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。296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO93UnSK0ql
296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl5XyiTVg8D
296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcEhAxqYbql
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。
