五周年P,花之使者設定。40Please respect copyright.PENANAZQ65dP4QK9

40Please respect copyright.PENANAzZ0UUXKAYp
「……先導者為了人民登上城裡的高塔,從能夠眺望整個城市的地方,將祝福的花朵灑下,瘟疫在那之後停止擴散,患病的人也開始好轉……」40Please respect copyright.PENANAHbKqn5Ho6r
40Please respect copyright.PENANAJICX2KzFqa
講台上擺放著一只花瓶,陽光從穹頂照下,將鮮花上沾著的露珠照得閃爍光輝。橘髮的祭司站在花瓶後,翻著手上的書頁,向台下的人們講述今天的故事。40Please respect copyright.PENANAXekAn3Lz2k
40Please respect copyright.PENANAFlb8MIh2OI
「祭司大人,那先導者停止瘟疫後去哪裡了呢?」一名少女舉手提問。這個故事她已經聽過很多次了,但從來沒有人能回答她的問題。40Please respect copyright.PENANAx0N3EJzEBm
也許祭司知道答案也說不定,她帶著這個期許走進講堂。40Please respect copyright.PENANASh9o7PeMP3
40Please respect copyright.PENANAW2Casv3yNG
但祭司只是搖了搖頭:「我也想知道他去哪裡了,但很遺憾的並沒有人找到他,最為流行的說法就是他完成了在人間的工作,到神的身邊去了……」40Please respect copyright.PENANAv92rYkZZRB
祭司露出了些許苦澀的微笑,少女突然想到祭司跟失蹤的先導者曾經是同事,意識到自己似乎觸及了祭司的傷心事。正當她打算安慰祭司時,祭司又接著說話了。40Please respect copyright.PENANAVQ2As1jlUo
40Please respect copyright.PENANAh8n0Hqsgtm
「也有另一種說法,先導者其實是被人綁架了。惡人為了得到先導者的力量,趁他虛弱的時候將先導者囚禁了起來……妳喜歡哪種說法?」40Please respect copyright.PENANARfOvd4IlWA
「哪種?那當然是——」40Please respect copyright.PENANAKNfLccrbNp
少女的聲音突然停下,完成使命後死去,還是活著被困在某處,不管哪種結果似乎都不能稱作是美好。40Please respect copyright.PENANAgKQX7bcqtL
40Please respect copyright.PENANAHWB8PhcTod
祭司笑著輕輕拍了她的肩膀。40Please respect copyright.PENANAkoize9NLnt
「我想『他』會很高興妳的猶豫的。不管現實如何,能有人為自己的幸福而煩惱,這件事本身就是一種幸福了。」40Please respect copyright.PENANA7AxkkBDIJr
40Please respect copyright.PENANAl4PAtyaP4l
祭司琥珀色的眼眸注視著他,帶著難以言喻的曖昧笑意。那是開心的意思嗎?還是覺得悲傷呢?40Please respect copyright.PENANAWksR0H3qzv
祭司跟先導者,以前感情應該很好吧,所以祭司才會露出這種複雜的表情。少女心想。40Please respect copyright.PENANABLGBxqTj9q
40Please respect copyright.PENANAw2FBS99xuc
然而當祭司離開時,講堂上的竊竊私語卻讓她產生了懷疑。40Please respect copyright.PENANAxFa1v9kUL4
40Please respect copyright.PENANAMO2tQQuf2H
「他還真敢這麼說呢,也只有搞不清楚狀況的小孩子會被騙。」40Please respect copyright.PENANANXhgXPKbmN
「我爺爺說了,當初先導者失蹤的時候,祭司是笑得最開心。」40Please respect copyright.PENANAT6diojMaEz
「在大家最混亂的時候,聽說他連續好幾天都笑瞇瞇的進出高塔呢。」40Please respect copyright.PENANAFIwiXPhrcW
「如果有所謂的惡人,一定就是他吧……」40Please respect copyright.PENANAAevmxiHEHe
40Please respect copyright.PENANA86KT4OwHhz
少女環顧四周,發現說話的人來自各個角落,每個人嘴裡都有段祭司跟先導者不和的傳言。40Please respect copyright.PENANAcWXOnHLos7
困惑的少女抬頭看向祭司離開的方向,發現在陰暗處,一雙琥珀色的眼睛正緊盯著她,對這些不知真假的傳言露出得意的微笑。40Please respect copyright.PENANArmn26kMxKt
40Please respect copyright.PENANAkwPDSpe1os
40Please respect copyright.PENANA3csyWWm058
40Please respect copyright.PENANAXG1KWpGRp4
承載著先導者離去陰霾的高塔,每到夜裡就會亮起燈來,大家都說那是為了紀念先導者的,但說到點燈的人是誰,卻誰也叫不出個名字。40Please respect copyright.PENANAZrbgCwGoTJ
40Please respect copyright.PENANAVfRt378Q0p
少女拉起斗篷的帽子,躲在高塔下的草叢裡。一種古怪的直覺讓她覺得能在這裡看到祭司出現。40Please respect copyright.PENANAlPvPSk4Jet
祭司穿著掩人耳目的長袍,微笑著走上高塔,接著又帶著同樣的笑容離開。40Please respect copyright.PENANA0aoA893SyA
40Please respect copyright.PENANAGkuUDGwVsE
深吸了口氣,少女偷偷摸摸的爬上了高塔。40Please respect copyright.PENANAvSWs0Zf9oN
一半的她期待著能在高塔上找著什麼,另一半卻又害怕在裡面看見除了燈光以外的其他事物。40Please respect copyright.PENANAKmhj6gPQcv
40Please respect copyright.PENANAPKHnX7iauJ
通往高塔的旋轉樓梯彷彿沒有盡頭般向上延伸著,狹窄的塔中沒有一點光亮,當初先導著爬上這裡應該費了不少功夫吧。少女心想。40Please respect copyright.PENANApw6CrBTP8f
在這片黑暗哩,不知何時會到達,不知道該不該退回,一個人走會感到不安吧。40Please respect copyright.PENANAJTI3gqHKtF
40Please respect copyright.PENANAQli7CCwxm6
少女懷揣著思緒,在進退猶疑之間,看見了高塔上的燈光。40Please respect copyright.PENANAznJmaALulQ
40Please respect copyright.PENANAPyWZqgaiCo
高塔的頂端,那個總是有燈光亮起的房間裡,罩著一層層白紗——這讓她想到了去年參加的鄰居的婚禮。40Please respect copyright.PENANAuYXgENdogb
燈光穿透過白紗,將一個淡淡的影子打在地上,少女那分成兩半的矛盾情感在此刻合而為一。40Please respect copyright.PENANAh70ndUORjr
40Please respect copyright.PENANAC3wIciv7dF
少女屏住呼吸,躡手躡腳地朝裡頭探了探頭,在白紗後看到一個朦朧的人影……不,要說是人影又有些不精確。40Please respect copyright.PENANAQVyVkFp1AH
40Please respect copyright.PENANAS8m9shIUnb
那身影有著人的側臉,有著人的身體,呼吸的起伏看起來也像是人類。40Please respect copyright.PENANASieNJyuNvz
但在那「人」的背後,拖著體積龐大的,像是鳥類翅膀的東西。40Please respect copyright.PENANAtL8r9JoKUL
40Please respect copyright.PENANAzcncUZyvKX
不僅如此,那「人影」的腳還微微離地,臉向著高塔上小小的窗,像是要飛出房間似的,但那小窗似乎容不下他的身軀穿過——尤其是那巨大的翅膀。40Please respect copyright.PENANAUa7AayXX45
少女還隱約聽見細微的金屬碰撞的聲音,每當那人影做出動作時便會傳出聲響。40Please respect copyright.PENANAHIxyFdwsGf
40Please respect copyright.PENANAXFrC0eewO0
祭司在高塔上,囚禁了某種「東西」。可怕的預感湧上少女的心頭……40Please respect copyright.PENANAkiw5TN3EX1
得去告訴大家才行……但是,如果那個東西是……40Please respect copyright.PENANAsKH3NlBrvF
40Please respect copyright.PENANAx8fyPw7Ta7
「哎呀,被妳看見了呢。」40Please respect copyright.PENANAqfOBCTKtaj
身後傳來一個聲音,白天時,這個聲音還像太陽那樣溫和的和講堂裡的人們講故事,但此刻在少女聽來卻如同深夜的寒露一般讓人背脊發涼。40Please respect copyright.PENANA0Cz7E5euNA
40Please respect copyright.PENANAApRivTcL47
「祭司大人……在裡面的……」少女的聲音不自覺地開始發顫。40Please respect copyright.PENANApCeubNyj7T
在裡面的是誰?亦或是什麼東西?提問在腦袋裡打轉,卻僵在舌頭上說不出口。40Please respect copyright.PENANAJaVDqczPnx
40Please respect copyright.PENANAQ5iaoh5Rka
「啊,妳是在問『他』嗎?」40Please respect copyright.PENANA4MMTO3A1nc
40Please respect copyright.PENANA0WvVkcD1jz
祭司的手輕輕搭在少女的肩膀上,將白紗掀開。40Please respect copyright.PENANAgWjbBacDlW
當少女看見白紗後人影的真面目時,所有疑問都得到了答案。40Please respect copyright.PENANAgXyQdsBjnU
40Please respect copyright.PENANAoAuCg9pqCM
「看見了嗎?那並不是你們的先導者,只是神派來人間的,稍微出了點問題的使者而已。」40Please respect copyright.PENANAaJXAcpxgw8
「不,不對,他就是……」40Please respect copyright.PENANAXgtGu0qghZ
40Please respect copyright.PENANAy7SwtJyuAS
白紗後的那人,有著和畫像上的先導者一樣的面孔,只消一眼就能讓人知曉他的身份。40Please respect copyright.PENANAgieRWRO9oZ
40Please respect copyright.PENANAnedwyzIjgx
那人渾身赤裸著,手腳和皮膚,甚至是臉頰邊緣都長著像是羽毛般的東西,身後拖著一對巨大的翅膀,想往上飛,但腳上銬著的鐵鏈卻將他困在地面。40Please respect copyright.PENANAsN5MrCpsAp
長著翅膀的先導者並沒有注意到白紗外頭的少女和祭司,兩眼無神的一直重複著徒勞的逃脫。40Please respect copyright.PENANAfrzADzHb5O
40Please respect copyright.PENANA3VsIm5kR84
「先導者大人,您為什麼會在這裡……」少女想走上前,卻被祭司拉住。40Please respect copyright.PENANAjuCdyjU3hv
40Please respect copyright.PENANAjbBJ0Pi94Z
「噓,別這麼大聲的說話,他討厭有人大聲的朝他說話。」40Please respect copyright.PENANAnVXXNEvpuy
祭司說話的語氣,就像是在說自家養的寵物一樣,讓少女感到一陣噁心。40Please respect copyright.PENANAZKFV9TbFam
40Please respect copyright.PENANA1qBekxa60j
「你想近一點看看他嗎?雖然不知道他現在喜不喜歡,但他以前很喜歡像你這樣天真的小孩子的。」祭司一邊說著,一邊從身後推著少女往前,不管少女同不同意。40Please respect copyright.PENANAIx82HIZRF7
40Please respect copyright.PENANAKcvsBpcnum
走近那人身邊時,少女終於看清那人身上和翅膀上的「羽毛」。40Please respect copyright.PENANA2ZOEPGWAJV
那並不是真正的羽毛,而是花瓣,是花之使者們所灑下的,象徵祝福的花瓣。40Please respect copyright.PENANAMWbpgwaiwc
40Please respect copyright.PENANAg94jYO4vmh
那些「祝福」將使者的身體作為土壤,在皮膚上生長,甚至構成了一對龐大的翅膀。40Please respect copyright.PENANATHFOVhv73W
40Please respect copyright.PENANATkIMgXOqKl
「很漂亮對吧,你們一定很喜歡吧。」祭司在她耳邊輕聲說道。40Please respect copyright.PENANAGqvzfA0aB3
40Please respect copyright.PENANACf37DyrrMt
城裡的人看到這麼大量的「祝福」,一定會很興奮吧,他們總是在抱怨現在的使者給的祝福不夠。少女心想。40Please respect copyright.PENANA6U3wvESDFM
40Please respect copyright.PENANApGkLYzEDXm
「他一開始的樣子可不是像現在這樣呢……」祭司在她身後,慢悠悠地說道:「妳知道嗎?我剛撿到他的時候,他的皮膚跟指甲都一片片的在剝落,背後長了像枯枝一樣醜陋沉重的骨架把他壓在地上,連爬都爬不動,還被搞不清楚狀況的人丟石頭,多可憐啊……」40Please respect copyright.PENANAttT6s5BWOh
40Please respect copyright.PENANAgpf86K4UXy
在這段令少女感到毛骨悚然的話題裡,祭司的聲音裡帶著隱密的愉悅感。40Please respect copyright.PENANAXCeaIF0Sq6
40Please respect copyright.PENANA02dP8WufWi
「為什麼,會變成這樣……」少女顫抖著聲音問道。40Please respect copyright.PENANAxpC60LL752
40Please respect copyright.PENANA21zNfSNn0m
長著翅膀的先導者有著和過去一樣美麗的面孔,身上帶著異樣卻讓人們深切渴望的「祝福」,那些數量龐大的花瓣讓他看起來就是名副其實的「花之使者」,卻也讓少女感到毛骨悚然。40Please respect copyright.PENANAbzPNvsJvFx
40Please respect copyright.PENANAMwYrtgcRwa
當年被人們稱頌的「花之使者」,現在卻已脫離了人類的行列。40Please respect copyright.PENANA7jmFvjKgFt
40Please respect copyright.PENANA4ZQWzeWUib
「妳為什麼要問這個問題?這不是你們所希望的嗎?」祭司的手撫摸著那人的翅膀,像是梳理頭髮一般輕柔:「只要能擁有這麼多的『祝福』,不管什麼樣的奇蹟都能引起,不覺得很棒嗎?」40Please respect copyright.PENANA4IdIrya2tC
「不,這樣是不對的。」少女出聲反駁。她在很小的時候見過先導者一次,他溫柔的為她戴上花環,祝福她能平安長大……40Please respect copyright.PENANAyERCnBoz1Q
40Please respect copyright.PENANARAWJfGxmX7
她還想到了那個有著開朗笑容,每個星期都會在街上傾聽大家煩惱,在廣場上灑花瓣的藍髮使者。40Please respect copyright.PENANAwS1DgHRgya
使者們的存在並不僅僅只是為城市灑下祝福,被他們握住的每一雙手,每一個笑容和注視,都和那些花瓣同等重要,是這個城市幸福的一部分。40Please respect copyright.PENANAjjEFppGXro
40Please respect copyright.PENANAlwP2uM5hBm
如今,眼前曾經的先導者,只剩下足以稱作奇蹟的花瓣,卻再也沒有笑容,甚至沒有正眼看過她和祭司。40Please respect copyright.PENANAOv0eL20Fh1
40Please respect copyright.PENANAqsSvTnIcXG
「我覺得先導者大人不該是現在……」40Please respect copyright.PENANAAlZm7WvCOr
「吶,リンドウ,這孩子今晚看起來會做惡夢,能給她一點能忘記壞回憶的祝福嗎?」祭司打斷少女的話,握住使者的手,從他長滿花瓣的皮膚上輕輕剝下幾片花瓣。40Please respect copyright.PENANAVlOBkSaEYJ
40Please respect copyright.PENANAuldjty9QYI
被喚作リンドウ的先導者看了祭司一眼,沒有任何反應,彷彿沒有痛覺一般,任由身上的花瓣被摘下。40Please respect copyright.PENANAkHnjsKtctt
40Please respect copyright.PENANA6aXAsNrBRc
祭司將花瓣編成一朵小花,撩開少女的頭髮,溫柔的將花朵別在少女耳後。40Please respect copyright.PENANAds7Lal5tGq
「已經很晚了,妳快回家吧。雖然他已經不是你們的先導者,但還是能守護妳回到家的。」40Please respect copyright.PENANAkhYGjzAgUG
40Please respect copyright.PENANAiqjaNmy3Zt
在祭司說完話的同時,少女的腳不受控制的動了起來,朝自家的方向走去。40Please respect copyright.PENANAw1fbC2fV0E
40Please respect copyright.PENANAJlIc5klQmm
「等等,等等,請讓我跟先導者大人說句話……」40Please respect copyright.PENANAvZTWCKdw1G
少女急促的喘著氣,腦袋裡那個長著翅膀的身影正一點一點融化。40Please respect copyright.PENANAgkevnq4qWr
40Please respect copyright.PENANA6wwSWG9zI3
「不管您變成什麼樣子,我都很感謝您!」40Please respect copyright.PENANAxEnYsZk8sl
少女的腳步突然加快,她的身體不肯給她停留的時間,用幾乎是手舞足蹈的模樣跑出高塔。40Please respect copyright.PENANAeS03qczM3d
40Please respect copyright.PENANAUr7Gchflzi
40Please respect copyright.PENANAsEWo7ZoR81
40Please respect copyright.PENANAXCIv5DbmSX
回到家時,少女的母親問她去哪了,看起來很開心。40Please respect copyright.PENANAcHVDTQTLT4
少女歪了歪頭,腦中只記得自己看見了很多花。40Please respect copyright.PENANAkTFOhXrIXA
40Please respect copyright.PENANA7E0OCiZj58
母親笑著從她的耳邊取下小花。40Please respect copyright.PENANAKUskL2bJ7e
「看見了很多花,還從使者那得到花了是吧?難怪會這麼開心,這花做得真好,上面花瓣有好多呢……」40Please respect copyright.PENANAFZsBt5hvYG
40Please respect copyright.PENANAPop6MCZVuA
母親像是數鈔票一般數著花瓣的數量,不知為何少女感到眼底一陣酸澀。40Please respect copyright.PENANA3Qk7oC0dT2
40Please respect copyright.PENANA72gAajsdMg
40Please respect copyright.PENANAGHJmeTDFrC
40Please respect copyright.PENANAE6Atp8QVbf
40Please respect copyright.PENANAO2CHtIhYTo
「リンドウ,剛剛那孩子說你不管變成什麼樣子都很感謝你呢。」40Please respect copyright.PENANA2WB9Tj3F9V
メノウ輕輕牽起リンドウ的手,小心的撫摸剛摘過花瓣的地方,那裡已經開始長出新的小花辦了。40Please respect copyright.PENANAWP0Pq2dsnC
40Please respect copyright.PENANAhXXx3p90Xv
「我剛才跟你說的在講堂猶豫的孩子也是她喔。」40Please respect copyright.PENANA7gTX4GpWwZ
此時的リンドウ已經不再試著向天空飛去,而是坐在メノウ為他舖的床鋪上,任由メノウ撫弄他的身體。40Please respect copyright.PENANAPGrg8CEWVv
40Please respect copyright.PENANAQ0F22RMqba
メノウ說他抱起來很舒服,是比羽毛枕頭更柔軟的存在,所以每晚メノウ都會來抱著他睡覺,說著今天發生了什麼,抱著リンドウ入睡。40Please respect copyright.PENANASDvFpvwDaS
偶爾也會像今天這樣,引誘些孩子讓リンドウ見見他們。40Please respect copyright.PENANAS0ibR2upBJ
40Please respect copyright.PENANAN5LAlxXP0X
40Please respect copyright.PENANArMg7tuypvI
40Please respect copyright.PENANAYtAX8f7UCO
這座城市裡,有著一種名為「花之使者」的獨特存在,他們會在少年時被選中,學習賜予祝福的力量,並被培養成悲天憫人的好性格。40Please respect copyright.PENANAAKoEij9WPg
40Please respect copyright.PENANAQqJVj6xqOb
リンドウ曾是這群少年中最出色的一個,因而被冠上「先導者」之名。40Please respect copyright.PENANA4ofBQO5XxY
他擁有人民的愛戴,大人會為了迎接他而盛裝打扮,孩子會圍繞著他撒嬌,而他也用加倍的付出作為回報。40Please respect copyright.PENANAN1nrFF4BeY
40Please respect copyright.PENANArLFCrAM8Nc
有一年,城市周遭的地區爆發瘟疫,城市因為花之使者們長年的守護而得以倖免。40Please respect copyright.PENANASAhfHLH7BR
於是許多人為了逃離瘟疫而進到城市裡,大家都說「只要有花之使者在一切都沒問題」,張開手臂歡迎人們進入城市。40Please respect copyright.PENANA1DaO4c9Cmg
40Please respect copyright.PENANAUA9UKO6rqW
然而花之使者終究只是人類,他們一天裡能灑下的花瓣,能對人們說的祝福都有限,即便每天沒日沒夜的奔走,也總是會有人被漏掉。40Please respect copyright.PENANAycFvn33M1R
40Please respect copyright.PENANAziVsBfZYMB
終於有一天,增加的人超出了花之使者能力的範圍,瘟疫開始在城市裡爆發。40Please respect copyright.PENANAtGuuCHTaqK
40Please respect copyright.PENANAcopM5xsdLg
「花之使者一次只能照顧一個人太沒效率了。」40Please respect copyright.PENANAW97eppTMGS
「我們平常這麼照顧花之使者,他們怎麼能偷懶呢?」40Please respect copyright.PENANAXvf8i8zipZ
「我家的孩子生病了,等了好幾天都沒有拿到花瓣,花之使者是不是想見死不救。」40Please respect copyright.PENANAKcqgyCuzBX
40Please respect copyright.PENANAIIlsAt1eX4
人們開始聚集在一起抱怨,然後在群眾鼓譟中,有人注意到了城裡的高塔。40Please respect copyright.PENANA1FIJCNvhsz
40Please respect copyright.PENANA9YXky9nsEj
「如果使者從那裡對大家祝福,在那裡灑下花瓣的話,是不是所有人都能得救了?」40Please respect copyright.PENANAzrdtNidxS8
「快去找使者,讓使者來救救大家。」40Please respect copyright.PENANA5qNDf9ypyu
40Please respect copyright.PENANA4lkhqacSVT
群眾們往使者所在之處聚集,途中加入了更多人,有人帶上了火把,有人帶了鋤頭,有人帶了長矛……40Please respect copyright.PENANA9T62u1rYZd
一群人浩浩蕩蕩的來到先導者面前,要求先導者登上高塔。40Please respect copyright.PENANAaF12B7f2QE
40Please respect copyright.PENANATIxBn1aVmu
善良的先導者同意了大家的要求,臨走前,他讓後輩認真學習,讓後援者去籌備物資,和祭司點頭說了「再見」……40Please respect copyright.PENANAOpblXl5JDN
他在火把和鐵器簇擁下走上高塔。40Please respect copyright.PENANAJ5G7dwu7IY
40Please respect copyright.PENANA9hsGRBjqWU
沒有人看見塔頂發生了什麼,只知道花瓣以前所未見的數量從高塔落下,飄進了每戶人家的家中,飄在每個流浪漢的碗裡……40Please respect copyright.PENANAufErmOLNJp
40Please respect copyright.PENANAvtaL1vEdM5
然後一個人影搖搖晃晃的從塔頂掉了下來。40Please respect copyright.PENANArPXJT14Bax
40Please respect copyright.PENANA0bd5GOAaJq
群眾中有人高喊:「使者要逃走了,他要丟下我們了!」40Please respect copyright.PENANAcedA3sNWhX
人們開始尖叫,朝人影扔擲火把,並在人影落地時圍了上去。40Please respect copyright.PENANAfnMSDxsMhC
40Please respect copyright.PENANAky39KTojcg
然而在包圍中出現的並不是大家所熟識的先導者,而是一個渾身鮮血,皮膚滿是瘡疤,看不出面孔的「怪物」。40Please respect copyright.PENANAL6471JB4QH
40Please respect copyright.PENANAzNGbytdrE5
怪物看著包圍的人群,喉嚨裡發出嘶啞的聲音,嘴裡不斷嗆出鮮血和花瓣。40Please respect copyright.PENANAGk8SgygOlO
40Please respect copyright.PENANAnneNaRu24N
在眾人恐懼的注視中,怪物腳步蹣跚的離開了城市。而那天目擊怪物身影的人,在那之後大都因各種意外而去世,剩下的人則精神失常,終日呢喃著「詛咒」等等言語。40Please respect copyright.PENANAtXz3jYJ4L0
這座曾以花之使者為榮耀的城市,一時之間都不再提起花之使者的存在,沒有人敢向使者討要祝福,流入城市的人開始減少,瘟疫也得到控制。40Please respect copyright.PENANAUtIf0vF35e
40Please respect copyright.PENANArMc6aCH5ag
瘟疫平息幾年後,眾人才想起那位被趕上高塔的先導者,沒有人再看見先導者的身影,那些據說見過先導者最後模樣的人也各個去世發瘋。40Please respect copyright.PENANANDFyvBlNNo
於是大家都說:「先導者可憐大家受病痛,為了人民登上城裡的高塔,從能夠眺望整個城市的地方,將祝福的花朵灑下,瘟疫在那之後停止擴散,患病的人也開始好轉……」40Please respect copyright.PENANAJOoOcq1kgR
40Please respect copyright.PENANABsLWwce5KR
「……而受大家敬愛的先導者,則在高塔上得到神的祝福,牽著神的手去了另一個美好的國度……」40Please respect copyright.PENANA1w4qnlRaN0
40Please respect copyright.PENANAoYGM7wBwLg
40Please respect copyright.PENANAinCgcid5Wf
40Please respect copyright.PENANAWmhZkIS0nP
「吶,リンドウ,你在高塔上有看見美好的國度嗎?」メノウ一邊親吻著リンドウ的手指一邊問。40Please respect copyright.PENANAvyifah3Dbp
曾經,リンドウ的手指上沒有指甲。為了那些超出極限的祝福,他把自己作為人類的血肉都轉化成了花瓣。40Please respect copyright.PENANA0owyv4bW0R
40Please respect copyright.PENANAMvKcTqtaDr
「你應該沒有看見吧?所以才回到了這種地方。」在リンドウ的沉默中,メノウ自顧自的把話說完。40Please respect copyright.PENANAVSh58uhJuJ
40Please respect copyright.PENANAyhynkyWzZX
「很可笑對吧?當你給予祝福的時候,他們每個人都不知道限度,什麼話都說得出口,但當被詛咒時,卻又每個人都懂了分寸,也管得住嘴巴……」40Please respect copyright.PENANAb1HTnlqVRd
40Please respect copyright.PENANAKAsN30uHyW
リンドウ看著メノウ,張了張嘴,一小片花瓣從他嘴裡掉出。40Please respect copyright.PENANANyjhmI0wsE
メノウ熟練的叼著花瓣,吻上リンドウ的唇,將花瓣重新送回リンドウ口中。40Please respect copyright.PENANAoJMeqLwa8k
40Please respect copyright.PENANACZlWTcMpcu
「睡吧,悲哀的,我的先導者。」40Please respect copyright.PENANAiIkg0Q7Ufm
メノウ摟著リンドウ在床上躺下,在棉被下交扣著手指入睡,白紗和零散的花瓣在夜風中輕輕飄起。40Please respect copyright.PENANAIhSTEa4C1l
40Please respect copyright.PENANAhrTav19YyC
40Please respect copyright.PENANAqV3eEEzmj3
40Please respect copyright.PENANAkPTjWXM2AT
風從小窗那端吹入,リンドウ睜著眼睛,原先在少女和祭司面前無神的雙眼閃爍著微光。40Please respect copyright.PENANAP2gKPDgFBg
他輕輕的掙開交扣的雙手,抱著メノウ的腦袋,吻了熟睡之人的額頭。40Please respect copyright.PENANAnJ5NwSgph3
40Please respect copyright.PENANA83vuoqFLAG
「不管您變成什麼樣子,我都很感謝您……」少女的、無數孩子的聲音在他耳邊迴盪。40Please respect copyright.PENANALw5ynJ7upY
40Please respect copyright.PENANAlRhuRD2XTe
「這就是你所認為的高尚品德嗎?那麼你看到結果了吧?」40Please respect copyright.PENANAu4wYejOUEH
メノウ的手沾著血和花瓣,輕輕撫摸著他的頭髮。40Please respect copyright.PENANAiRg5c0bw2u
40Please respect copyright.PENANASmv6rXmpaC
「只有你一個人完美是不夠的,你其實也知道吧?」40Please respect copyright.PENANAUsz1JXse9s
在瘟疫出現之前,某個平和的日子裡,メノウ的手指輕輕摳著他的手心。40Please respect copyright.PENANAX3RYfyouNS
40Please respect copyright.PENANAjzXWpoDoVf
「因為你只對我說了再見,所以我來接你了。」40Please respect copyright.PENANAqaBLplcz2Y
メノウ將動彈不得的他抱起,趁著夜色將他帶進高塔裡。40Please respect copyright.PENANAEPtaKhvuwZ
40Please respect copyright.PENANA1lPba4LYmZ
大家都說高塔受到了詛咒,沒有人敢靠近這裡。40Please respect copyright.PENANAURb7N4qDOq
這片受詛咒之地變成他長久的監牢,把他和メノウ的夜晚困在此處。40Please respect copyright.PENANANuHmHPiv8q

「你看,沒有什麼美好的值得犧牲的事不是嗎?你真笨。」40Please respect copyright.PENANAGaeT5scIG1
メノウ每天都像惡魔一般,說著讓人痛苦的話語。一次次將黏在他身體上的繃帶撕下來,換上新的,直到新的皮膚長出為止。40Please respect copyright.PENANAu1AizhbjOV
40Please respect copyright.PENANAE7Ku2dZgKl
リンドウ的身體醜陋畸形,充滿鮮血的腥氣,身上沒什麼完好的部分能讓人相信他還活著。40Please respect copyright.PENANAtP2DWZAPCw
40Please respect copyright.PENANAT1nvcXN3WM
但メノウ,那個總是潑人冷水,說著不中聽話語的祭司,看著不成人形的他時,卻不曾露出恐懼。40Please respect copyright.PENANA2vKy5TVTXB
他像リンドウ還是先導者時那樣說話,用同樣的眼神看他,親吻他少數完好的皮膚。40Please respect copyright.PENANAFe8ap6xDEe
40Please respect copyright.PENANAJYBUbD6p4p
過去作為先導者的他看到小孩哭時已經不會感到難過了,也不再有心力面對人們的話語和祈禱……他變了很多,祭司卻始終如一。40Please respect copyright.PENANAnmrLELcuJI
他改變得令人絕望,卻有人永遠不變的待在他身邊,重複著跟以前相同的事情。40Please respect copyright.PENANAb0pAuuxCLD
40Please respect copyright.PENANAc0kJQz6n2p
メノウ帶了很多孩子來見他,一部分是想看人們陷於困境時的表情,另一部分是想看リンドウ做出反應——祭司有著一如往常的糟糕興趣。40Please respect copyright.PENANA7dJauZMoZA
而他壞心眼的一次都沒給過メノウ理想的回應,於是類似的故事不斷上演。40Please respect copyright.PENANAiZJ9q638IY

曾經的先導者親吻祭司的頭髮、手指、耳朵、嘴唇,身上的花瓣一片片脫落,背後生長的巨大翅膀從他身上剝離,崩解成一座花瓣的小山。40Please respect copyright.PENANAINnurKchLI
40Please respect copyright.PENANAJv0aYDWjDy
風透過高塔的小窗吹入,將堆積的花瓣吹起,在層層包圍中的白紗中下起花之雨。40Please respect copyright.PENANAfi8f3Hgi4D
40Please respect copyright.PENANA0nIYItv7jw
恢復人形,不再擁有「奇蹟」和「祝福」的青年從床上爬起,披著床單來到高塔的小窗前,風從他耳邊拂過,跟他說這是最後。40Please respect copyright.PENANA5yKnt0yZM8
那天從高塔上墜落的人類的生命,將以人類的姿態去往該去的地方。40Please respect copyright.PENANAriEWCaJ8Po
40Please respect copyright.PENANAFNnSfCNnDX
沒有翅膀的阻礙,青年輕易的爬過小窗,風輕輕撫摸他的臉頰,問他這次有沒有好好說「再見」。40Please respect copyright.PENANAkU0o4PjPJ1
青年搖了搖頭,說已經不需要了。40Please respect copyright.PENANAfDSekS9t3g
40Please respect copyright.PENANAozB2oSnVlB
風從他身後推著他,要將他從高塔上推下,就像許久以前的某一天那樣。40Please respect copyright.PENANAwkVv9YZsyX
40Please respect copyright.PENANA95a7R9h9r7
溫熱的水滴在黑夜中滴下,青年緩緩閉上眼睛,金屬碰撞的聲音在他耳邊響起……40Please respect copyright.PENANACElm0xfZsO

早晨,メノウ在花瓣的小山中醒來。40Please respect copyright.PENANAE0xN4x61RC
40Please respect copyright.PENANA8Cm28k47A6
他做了很長的夢,夢裡リンドウ親吻他的頭髮、手指、耳朵、嘴唇,然後張了張口,用嘴型說了再見。40Please respect copyright.PENANAaw8SNNHTUK
40Please respect copyright.PENANAflK5F7dQr2
メノウ朝身邊伸手,在花瓣堆中撈出熟睡的リンドウ,呼吸著,胸膛起伏著,心臟在完好的皮膚下以熟睡者的頻率跳動著。40Please respect copyright.PENANAgV6szLkMq2
40Please respect copyright.PENANAJxSkR7WTYO
他看了看臉頰和身體不再長有花瓣的リンドウ,又看了眼銬著他腳踝的鐵鏈,和因為掙扎留下的新鮮傷痕,露出滿足的微笑。40Please respect copyright.PENANAvdNrOl56zo
40Please respect copyright.PENANA3doztV2hu2
「早安,可憐的,我的リンドウ。」40Please respect copyright.PENANAMZJzbng2LD
