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。289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsCWcgpLDUu
289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWXVkkP9Yv1
289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrQaZS6KjWq
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。289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJdNXWeSRc1
289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl1Typ4dXQo
289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOtQrF7Dbfp
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。289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqsZsopCYMf
289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuKyx7HRaHL
289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqfSylJplWH
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。289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwLAQ2rXXyO
289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR6elO1v2qh
289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtks07fPDQa
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：289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ11u5gg3iZE
289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvI7Qg7FhqS
289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy9saMo6xFw
「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！」289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGNo74WuWSL
289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ64JscHZqYt
289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzejIYiDuQ9
「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。289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuOhyXyvhIo
289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSzOoXyO4X7
289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2Rg5oaExVG
「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……」289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtbxWS6UhAk
289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMiNkzlLXYI
289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6XmYixBwpO
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。289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwcglhxoLRP
289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQBT9MrAk1M
289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuZi2GceQTn
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。289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdhdOhyhKEt

「小甜心？怎麼了？」289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡve7okKlVzK
289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMZ7j9gfKAB
289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLao0dsEtD6
「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！」289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3QvSgAwecY
289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAkhHPGmH3P
289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0Pt7U1OcNk
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。289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrs77hFzluN
289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUF39JI66lt
289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRNHHCAw40r
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：289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqTrApY6CvS
289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡriEx2Pc2KU
289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq9U0hSOw1R

「那妲羽是不是要離開這裡了？」289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNux31qe215
289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTyu0VGBSlC
289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJzXtluBBt0
「妳卡帕哥哥會保護妳與小少爺離開聖火城，不用擔心。」289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3zlm6PiPWk
289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8uc3ZbDHli
289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgQG7r3u2f9
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：289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfhJPhrEwZP
289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSRkAX0wEUp
289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFhqjzRo1vz
「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～」289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL4xM4IRFgP
289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdbR9AwOkLt
289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXGGeM4V8ml
「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。289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpLobKLnOaz
289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEBLQBwE3tZ
289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbFOczI8a0W
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。289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY02NQzsWOW
289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx122rLkWBZ
289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡObX12mfsnS
「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。289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCicvinWhnE
289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWlSee8il1p
289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDXqvw2wcFS
「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……」289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrIRr628SZl
289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfFB16zouQb
289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUzKEHJXCIV
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。289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKaexOHEP8s

289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAEOAYK6ATC
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……289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmP7FcXWlPm

289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY9AbUBMuqT
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：289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcjEdUYMju7
289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡasISmg9op6
289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4fKxrosQ2K
「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……」289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8li0slQhoP
289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIs0WQPV1ZO
289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEWMAPMMJ9Z
「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。289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡipoTjhomDw
289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQbsptrJqfn
289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlN0dSojawa
「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。」289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYnzaIXoOUz
289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLYUM5EjBuy
289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjkntUKVfY5
堇金義兄的說話，顯然不無道理。289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡll5qVUsGUv
289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ62yASf8neB
289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHLk9Iqi4VR
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。289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0Mor77PXF9

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……289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN6NxHxkEBX

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。289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSP8Eno7TS3

「烏普西朗，我們要離開聖火城了。」289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT1cGqLaE1B
289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXzy3yuOKZl
289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmsDdYRoWLB
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。289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXMpvtaa83i
289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDJSZEcsvhF
289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4QbjPulpk8
「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。289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4IEn9Z3iEA
289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDxvZysDOD1
289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD72IJEW6FZ
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：289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTkLCdKdTOR

「哈？！要到哪裡？」烏普西朗隨即一臉茫然。289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk2iE4H96uO

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。289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5e4YnLqkQN
289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw3ay8xgCeg
289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwVietDygH1

289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjr4gycQAvu

打開大門，見房內妲羽站在大廳裡，作好離開的準備。289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZogobsIvYB

289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9df4gvK5zQ
289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjWmyX1t2Ym
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。289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxlBftwiaPG
289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6pGH1L0ABP
289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQWdrjPR8QX
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。289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyZpKqQpfph
289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzRelc6I60c
289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt8gZ0NLzOg

289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoXh6Z6y6EY
289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRE0ipMknNO
「哇！浮光淨土那邊封城了沒？萬一這怪病傳到聖火城這裡那怎麼辦？」289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOmLqeugsd3
289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAayhzKvXll
289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkVqsufnZY9
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。289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdSlOMZJvqd
289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1kQkSeeQGo
289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ22PtwVbiD6
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。
