在森林深處，有個可愛的金髮女孩。由於她總是披著大紅色的兜帽，所以大家都親暱的稱呼她為「小紅帽」。397Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡywKhNqjp4R
397Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDlEgYpfWce
小紅帽最喜歡的人是居住在森林中的大哥哥：菲克斯。菲克斯除了對小紅帽寵溺有加，腦袋中還有著許多有趣的故事，令小紅帽深深著迷。過去，她甚至常因為滿腦子都是故事睡不著覺，被生氣的母親唸一頓。397Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9iGirEYxak
397Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVugT1Yy0oo
然而，好景不常，菲克斯一直以來累積的疲勞與壓力令他變得虛弱，直到小紅帽有意識時，菲克斯就已不再睜眼。397Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbyiUnuAccN
397Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡONonYPGgNS
這一天，小紅帽一如以往準備好給菲克斯的餐點，便起身前往菲克斯的住處。397Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYQC1DiaQiw
397Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡepJ8LOvEWu
菲克斯居住的小屋被大家稱作「獵人小屋」，是很久以前被稱為「獵人」的人們設立的據點。但如今這片森林裡已無猛獸，小屋也僅剩下遮風避雨的用途。自父親繼承了此處後，菲克斯便一直居住至今。397Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuQ7RfNGTW9
397Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfXu25rU0QT
但是，小紅帽今天卻遇到了一隻狼。397Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡipDZXLvCOY
397Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9fdyS8Plrk
那不是隻普通的狼，牠以雙腳站立，身高高過小紅帽三個頭不止。397Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtoPOTjGQBl
397Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKlB1lTiU6a
「妳好，小姐。」397Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8JCpAbr3aO

「咦……？」397Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGFfSv98lhK
397Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIUBYboTcBL
小紅帽不禁發出疑惑的聲音，眼前有一隻狼在向她打招呼，可是心中卻有一種令呼吸窒礙的怪異感。397Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRl9G7cMiIQ
397Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3bBL4bpyys
然後她聽到了一個聲音。397Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnNnz5BWwDo
397Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9mKATa2oe2
那是細小到若不豎耳細聽就會忽略，像是把布帛給緩慢撕開的聲音。397Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo4EnndWU8M

「我正在找『紅帽的魔女』，不知道小姐妳……知不知道她在哪裡呢？」397Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwi0UKy0yVk

這是明知故問。397Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnAdgOUrB9o

397Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY17AixDM0F
小紅帽不由自主地顫慄。觀望四周，才發現風景已變得截然不同。自己竟在不知不覺中走到了邊緣。她赫然想起耳邊不祥的撕裂聲，正是結界邊緣的不穩定魔力所致。397Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2jHKD3rELj

必須快跑。否則唯有一死。397Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdYJkc5Kj4P
397Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9S3cHeChTQ
然而大野狼早預料到如此。單論反應及體能，一個女孩怎麼樣也不可能敵過肌肉發達的狼。轉眼間小紅帽已被擒倒在地。大野狼咧開尖牙，重重咬下小紅帽的側腹。397Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS5ohNuzk5K

「——！」397Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQUV920k76Q

竹籃中的流質食物翻倒在地。她甚至叫不出聲音，腦海頃刻墜入一片空白。她能夠感覺到嵌入內臟的冰冷，也能夠感覺到血液流出的溫熱。劇痛麻痺了生理，就連呼吸也無法辦到。397Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl6sjSfTwOK
397Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk6imH21Ma0

粗毛滿佈的巨臂伴隨撕心裂肺的嚎啕掉落在地。接著，爪子主人的身軀瞬間纏滿了如紡絲般的細線。397Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGWi2hgLQKo
397Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4cKTyUKcA3

絞碎大野狼的紅線彷彿具有生命地回流，如繭般裹住了她腹部的缺口。而另一部分則纏上了纖弱的四肢，驅使著動作。397Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrLY0O9k58N

397Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtPdOBuMo27
紅帽的魔女。
她輕撫過側腹，回想著大野狼對她的稱呼。指尖可以感受到血液的脈動，或許是基於護主意志吧，她可以感受到紅線正擅自以自己無法使用的治療術修復傷口。397Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4UXcZTK7Lb
397Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeLcb5D22lR
明明傷成這樣卻還能活下來，的確已經不能再稱自己為人了吧。397Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1tgJk6O0C7
397Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4yi4OMXrzE
另一方面，她卻也感到高興。自己終於脫離了「亞獸族」這個名號的束縛，這樣就好像是替大哥哥出了一口氣般。令她感到驕傲不已。397Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwBNEHldn3V
397Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrXPmAiU9JN
數十年前——不對，又或許是數百年前，正確的時間她已經不記得了。亞獸不願再屈於獸族的統治。於是，革命就這麼爆發了。
397Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhEhxudwXIL
亞獸——他們不再稱自己為獸族的亞種，而改稱自己為「人」——和獸族的戰爭從各地引燃，如野火般一路從大陸南方延燒。397Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT2JGEw03ho

即便無法操控魔力，卻精準地使用槍枝抵禦獸族的人們，在此地被稱為「獵人」。而保護了她和母親的那個身影，至今也依然深深地烙印在她的眼眸深處，從未褪色。397Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ30Ojr3zgai

397Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhCZOZaHKEg
步行在被綠葉斬落的陽光間，掙脫紅帽束縛的一頭金髮熠熠生輝。說來也奇怪，明明身體的成長早已停止，卻唯有頭髮仍肆無忌憚地生長，害得她總會踩到自己的頭髮而踉蹌。然而，因為大哥哥說過他喜歡長頭髮的女生，所以她也從未想過要修剪。397Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIsHeYscUUZ
397Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc67CSnLZ2m
她半拖半背地帶著大哥哥行走。蹣跚間，一棟磚牆塌陷大半、門板腐朽、中庭甚至竄出巨木的廢墟現身於林木後方。她曾和母親一起居住在此地。但她沒能救回母親。如今這棟房子除了方便，早已沒有任何存在意義。397Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKLP3CtnNnn

推開咿呀作響的門板，將大哥哥安放在客廳的長椅上後，她獨自登上被巨木給擠得彎曲的階梯。即便門廊早已扭曲變形，她也認得出自己房間的窄門。397Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSuv6H3jalc

脫下掛在肩頭的紅色披肩，仔細地折好後，小紅帽將它放置在魔法陣空無一物的中央。而就在小紅帽踏出結界的瞬間，結界竟發出了宛如心臟跳動的聲音。隨後地面竄出無數血紅色的細絲，將披肩裹得密不透風。只是和大野狼不同，看不出原形的披肩沒有被絞碎，只是如蟲一般，吸取著繭的養分。397Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOVlg51bhH5

每個人的體內皆蘊藏著魔力，差別只在於量的多寡。而小紅帽體內的魔力甚至不及常人的三分之一。縱使可以精巧地操縱魔力到髮絲般細膩，若耗盡魔力一切也都是枉然。397Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlE1HwQqQMd

在等待魔力蓄滿披肩的同時，小紅帽走到窗邊。窗外是一片廣闊的草原。細心修剪及拔除雜草的原野欣欣向榮，風在矗立的墓碑之間穿梭，一路襲上窗口，撩亂那一頭金黃的長髮。397Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb4lI4YZBXW

率先抵達的惡魔雙鉗嵌入那曾擁抱她的健壯手臂，如同撕破麻布那樣，條狀的肌肉就這麼隨著血管和神經被硬生生扯出體外。緊接著第二批、第三批惡魔陸續抵達。它們各自用著不同的方法，或是截斷十指、或是撕裂皮肉、或是開腸剖肚，搶食著難得的魔力盛宴。397Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ54r6AwjI5T

黑影毫不避諱地回應視線，身形陡然矮下半截。下跪，那是象徵臣服與允諾的姿態。397Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡePvrktler7
397Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDkTieGJ83u
雙眼緊闔，不讓黑影身後的碎沫納入視野。小紅帽緩緩牽起黑影狀似手的部分，聚精會神。397Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvrJM10bkEX
397Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYvTJCURxoj
為了救回大哥哥。她不被允許沉浸在癲狂與失意當中。
397Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgZEyqf5Q6B
無論灼傷多少次咽喉、無論流下多少血淚、。
397Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4nHAsPI2ZS
這一切，她都會全然領受。397Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHbepWltBrK
397Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTlMpChnPrR
只為了再與他一同歡笑。397Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9F2WsZFX2s
397Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNX9fTYkT6D
心一沉，握緊手中那份朦朧的觸感。397Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4IDzQhO0tK
397Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP5Rva78Fb3
意識，就這麼沉入深海。397Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi6cMBH6jCy

目可觸及的一切盡被廣闊的光流淹沒。鋪天蓋地，就連五感與實體都在奔竄的洪流當中被沖散。397Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5j2Fyf4D0x
397Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1B6tExWAte
透過潛意識中的操控、咒文、以及吞噬了大哥哥的惡魔魔力，她才得以觀望時間的奔流。
397Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7PjejqhtyP
一旦迷失神識，便會被浩瀚的洪流徹底溶解消弭。然而，在此處不存在肉身與感官，就連自身究竟存在與否都無法確認。那麼，一直以來究竟是靠著什麼在尋找的呢？她不知道。那或許已成為她靈魂最深處的本能，亦或者都是誤打誤撞罷了。397Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ54J9Zycfgv
397Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhgBO8dpjYA
霎然，她發現光流的方向逆轉、又或者是自己正逆流而上。無論如何能夠確定的是，時間正在回溯。397Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9JYWAKrFBd
397Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ73kGJmQOJB
一束束的模糊光流隨著倒溯而逐漸變得密集、最終匯聚於一點。正是那個時候，她想替病倒的大哥哥送上親手做的餐點時，大哥哥就這麼消失的時候。至今經歷過了什麼都不重要，唯有那一刻她無論如何都無法忘記。
漫天奔騰的世界中唯有那個光點清晰可見，好像伸手便能將其掌握一般。397Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡff7Gy8ZMRh
397Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmrcyAj5BZn
而她也真的將其緊握住了。397Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU9Xqge5fmo
397Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ656r6hVkZd
手中的觸感變得牢實的瞬間，視野頓時豁然開朗。取回了五感及實體，小紅帽就這麼從意識的深處抽離。397Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKPM2phrwQG
397Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnUW9JMCerd
同時，她感覺到一股重量忽地往身上壓下。397Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhTqVVnfhYz
397Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6zaav1MqrI
纏繞黑影的烏煙遭到蒸散、被風帶去。而後留下的，是那道熟悉的身影。397Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG1UtYMZ8IA
397Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5tz0ShvMSC
熾熱的體溫和確切的沉重彷彿要將小紅帽壓倒，但她並沒有認輸，只是頑強地支撐著沉眠的菲克斯。那拼命的模樣顯得如此嬌小。是的，唯有在菲克斯的面前，她才是楚楚可人的小紅帽。397Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX1aFsBwgAZ
397Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfFVSWK2q48
一旦大哥哥消失，她就會化身為駭人聽聞的紅帽魔女。397Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvJcB8JQk36
397Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO2se0ZUK2G
其實，她一點也不喜歡這個稱號。397Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSh1ozqMnTB
397Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4thFYZqOOL
什麼紅帽魔女、什麼長生不老、什麼操魔能力，她一點也不想要。397Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtmSHcnHpxR
397Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFFNco3kKVx
她只是想要大哥哥再次醒來、再繼續把沒說完的故事給說下去，當個能夠依偎在溫暖懷中的小紅帽而已。397Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMA7wfcvCdT
397Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡce7HJGfTR1
緊抱著這份確實的暖意。這一次，她必定會救回那時沒能挽留的事物。397Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvfhIoVRD6W
397Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZqWX4GqD6u
就算將迎來的是第一百七十次、甚至是往後數不清的失敗，她也會義無反顧。397Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ88746TxkPJ

將殘骨與碎沫裝進甕中、著手埋葬時，小紅帽忽然想到了一點。397Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNmNRjXliIx
397Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ20pk9CfiS9
在這裡死去的每一個菲克斯都是來自過去。397Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhMucGVNLN2
397Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZgLXXjs1rJ
那麼，她為什麼會覺得只有「現在」的她在尋找菲克斯醒來的可能呢？397Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfLuDAproOi
397Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiFBf8AaG42
在「過去」，難道就沒有「未來」的她在尋找嗎？397Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTx7zJ7Rmdy
397Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKnqLm0nbmS
想到這點，小紅帽笑了。是近乎於癲狂的笑了。397Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa4S1kcPOBT
397Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcGIlhfflWL
事到如今才發現又有何用。397Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzlrjdhSrqN

在如謝落花瓣的遍地墓碑群當中，唯有那抹異樣的鮮紅搖曳著，永不凋零。
