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。291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPQGBeKI2HY
291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrFnNISSurD
291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMW9zuz1kF6
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。291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCxeerIlgij
291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6zHjqeBhEJ
291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFUpo3tQtSj
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。291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG8ZNiD2JuJ
291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvSFQsOhMy5
291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcbhnwHWSQt
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。291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS9XWxPuGDj
291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMqeyzy7HkC
291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtxqMAA8fnU
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：291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeTyGS75PtV
291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡifKdOM0pgT
291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkAAOYU9Fj0
「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！」291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvx9VCTtF5j
291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1L2ONf0iHo
291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3FkTEnKOOD
「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。291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvHtDyzZ7lW
291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBEZXT5t4jS
291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjPm1aJKdZg
「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……」291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvPCumCf4kT
291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQpQ7J210Rb
291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTCAOtGBe6U
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。291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxsVpM7dI2h
291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbEKwsel3hb
291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVCheuhXAPk
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。291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡutC0H9xZ6I
291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBtoaUcFpHk
291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbCchcjLVMw
「小甜心？怎麼了？」291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNEjdUTA5do
291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡobrvuQe4rK
291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIm4LWAerOE
「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！」291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2NGlYmGPaV
291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRQVaumjvf9
291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwH4OhWF6JI
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。291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5NAfpB6zNl
291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ617ITUX2e4
291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWgx9FTag3G
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：291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeeUIsPVAuo
291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWhCDccyhB6
291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcH05Reb3CT
「冷靜點，小甜心，請相信堇叔叔。」291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGy4B6XTzxK
291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr1qHrPpVWS
291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw8l0O1S7gO
「那妲羽是不是要離開這裡了？」291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzF9fEtsoTU
291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcMd9Lq5CsG
291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUp8jpE3Qcq
「妳卡帕哥哥會保護妳與小少爺離開聖火城，不用擔心。」291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqqIV3z5C9m
291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEEn5DllwGP
291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ9FwdmIpUi
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：291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvSmgiqvlo8
291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6KW0CBYRXp
291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtuU2AT5zI3
「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～」291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaJ8FVYv6pg
291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEibn8TixUS
291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBQqlkRVIsl
「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。291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAj5gF4iWMj
291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFamMKyMSYc
291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4Hwsphw1j5
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。291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmSCIh7Rhev
291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA8Cvtes59M
291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqk0ZHBcdyz
「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。291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZqixDuAQJU
291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa40Oj2N5TQ
291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZSMg8nd8To
「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……」291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4K9okGOQSR
291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDUiAwUEiVw
291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3JuhHR12pe
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。291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMYGvqNopoV

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……291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzhFYgmJTgi
291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP0YjZcqhUf
291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡByHwWpwfvN
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：291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlS4jUBo3mm
291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl69qtiGIQv
291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBHuORHD5vJ
「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……」291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3qVfswqgnl
291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYo5m9dgCYp
291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw6Wyd3Efhu
「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。291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnw1WFxtyyA
291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡolKGkPK9C6
291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaEqOFBXOwY
「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。」291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTWFkRnYvKd
291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSVrVYRP3Rk
291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk9u84iKGwg
堇金義兄的說話，顯然不無道理。291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdxkPwpI9rZ
291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1KmLQ10Pgn
291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlF6CnkXnaM
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。291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY0WFR4pUxQ

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……291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ4lTPJVBky

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。291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxw3XRJK4eZ
291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0H0VAIbd1B

「烏普西朗，我們要離開聖火城了。」291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE4n7S3yv4X
291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaMavykwFCE
291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0PyaapM0RC
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。291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY4URSeO20S
291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjSVEo8zi77
291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkoAdfhKHCS
「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。291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg3tD9KWUFz
291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwxo4rQl3kc
291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTDINC60G9T
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：291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDk8qo6AVxo

「哈？！要到哪裡？」烏普西朗隨即一臉茫然。291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlotqwOpt3w

291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0dCLtwiJgW
291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1VFUFjmdJb
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。291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1gEbTLjXay
291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOrQ55l8UmF

291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWNCIOcAAs1

打開大門，見房內妲羽站在大廳裡，作好離開的準備。291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhk7I5jgNKi

291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4pcHHcIf4n

291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4m5YzDHcnS
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。291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0MfU94Phoc
291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiGwCFdLlxo
291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOBjtIm20eC
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。291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqu933EFYlR
291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjNLdVO0lZw
291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx5hG9UoXFi
「光臨我命……浮光淨土那個怪病，你們也聽說了嗎？我在祈禱希望命運神能讓這場災難化險為夷。」291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn6CnHwu9PK

「聽說最初是在五號工業區的醫院傳出來的，最初染病那個醫生都病死了，聽了也覺得恐怖。」291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfeoa3O3xWa
291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeYGPOLCmDK
291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1wAOnK5PBf
「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？」291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxI509PD8bo
291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY2WsLQaPPl
291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuDL5TJIKXe
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。291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyOJShO5fNs
291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJFOaFhfDvv
291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ99qJEcamzm
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。
