除了我們以外,另外兩國都各自派出兩支隊伍。由當地的冒險者協會挑選出一組隊伍,另一組則是藉由委託的方式貼出任務,讓冒險者們自由選擇。235Please respect copyright.PENANAI26vHETZgH
235Please respect copyright.PENANAVpqTVtMqVC
帝國之所以會派出魔女討伐隊是因為三角群島除了向冒險者協會發出委託外,也有向魔法師協會請求協助。235Please respect copyright.PENANAA0j1KEeeHa
235Please respect copyright.PENANAU4Ulwlnj2u
而我們只有一支隊伍貌似是沒有相對應可以幫忙的冒險者,只好由我們單獨來進行。235Please respect copyright.PENANAQN7D0mVZrx
235Please respect copyright.PENANAHshCa4YpjB
由於任務需要海賊魔女的幫忙,於是其他隊伍都來到海賊魔女目前所在的一角島。235Please respect copyright.PENANALXpMGKsz3U
235Please respect copyright.PENANAp0PsJkV2YH
先行抵達的隊伍為海國的兩支隊伍,首先到來的隊伍呈現傲氣,且隊伍成員皆是魚人,之後抵達的隊伍中,成員有魚人以及人魚,前者貌似有點看不起後者。235Please respect copyright.PENANA87WajSYIM6
235Please respect copyright.PENANADpnN3L4lqI
他們兩隊看見古拉皆出現驚訝的表情,不過很快就冷靜下來。235Please respect copyright.PENANAjaqVtTyL9N
235Please respect copyright.PENANAOqDTvbRDZM
經過自我介紹了解平和態度的隊伍為前輩,並且是A級冒險者隊伍,卻因為種族混雜的關係,導致被身為後輩、傲氣十足的隊伍看不起。235Please respect copyright.PENANAWkugAuBFj2
235Please respect copyright.PENANARM3smOU08j
再來是龍國的隊伍,他們慢了約幾十分鐘,最有可能的原因是搭船,海棲種隊伍進來的時候,身體都有點濕答答,可能是直接游過來。235Please respect copyright.PENANAypSI9u8S6w
235Please respect copyright.PENANAghX5p0Eps6
龍國的隊伍剛好呈現與剛剛兩支隊伍的相同現象,只是這次任務對較低等級的一隊來說是考核升級的任務。235Please respect copyright.PENANAVLOmoHDK3V
235Please respect copyright.PENANA9f1SAC8ZlU
不過我對這些隊伍感到疑問,難道對他們來說,種族混雜在一起是不正常的事情嗎?235Please respect copyright.PENANAnOuLG5ZsBe
235Please respect copyright.PENANAILgQgF7acz
等到大家齊聚以後,提到有關於黑白巨蛇的行動模式。235Please respect copyright.PENANAvxTFQwPigA
235Please respect copyright.PENANAOIk4CY9ikj
黑白蛇的主要活動時間為早晨以及黃昏,由於要做事前的準備,決定將行動預備在早晨,比起黃昏,將戰鬥往後拖的情況下還能確保視線。235Please respect copyright.PENANASunaRdAnjL
235Please respect copyright.PENANAp3lRgn0YuT
對牠來說,整個三角群島皆是牠的領地,要對付牠的首要條件是必須得吸引到牠。235Please respect copyright.PENANA44ay1fLMlZ
235Please respect copyright.PENANABj4gzmAEcN
在講完前提,準備討論計畫內容該如何制定的時候。235Please respect copyright.PENANAJc5MoQdbm9
235Please respect copyright.PENANAYU49bOGvIW
「我們才不需要你們的協助。」唯有魚人種的隊伍率先離開。235Please respect copyright.PENANAelERDyRMUj
235Please respect copyright.PENANANITaALX6ZT
「團隊行動對於考核升級沒什麼幫助,我們會用自己的方式進行。」大概是貓獸人的隊伍用較為禮貌的語氣,說完點頭致意便離開。235Please respect copyright.PENANAHTWM6lii00
235Please respect copyright.PENANAu6R1qD8JWC
「不好意思,我們這邊的年輕人比較控不住。」率先道歉的是A級冒險者隊伍「漆黑之牙」的隊長路夫,口中說著年輕人,不過外表只長個幾歲的感覺。235Please respect copyright.PENANAGPsB9dX5um
235Please respect copyright.PENANAgDJA25lLh3
符合冒險者的黝黑皮膚,在皮甲下隱約凸顯的精壯身材,俐落的短髮上有豎直的狗耳朵,還是狼呢?235Please respect copyright.PENANAM11a7W80M6
235Please respect copyright.PENANAqCIRh3Rwnt
沒有跟獸人種的人接觸過,不知道他們的年紀與人類差距多少,以人類的角度來看大概是二十幾歲。235Please respect copyright.PENANAYhG7zyEPBK
235Please respect copyright.PENANAzkecxMPF3y
「雖然少了一些人的幫助對於任務可能會有影響,但是比起強迫他們一同進行,不如就這樣。」235Please respect copyright.PENANAfoELEMyIIO
235Please respect copyright.PENANAd7FI3POgDs
路夫點點頭同意我說的。235Please respect copyright.PENANA8gMMY0W02M
235Please respect copyright.PENANA1wSMnMuYXA
一旁A級冒險者「蒼海獵人」的隊長多浬安一同參與對話。235Please respect copyright.PENANA8tK0Jx8J5X
235Please respect copyright.PENANA3UemNpYlUO
「不好意思,沒想到會引來如此強烈的反感。」235Please respect copyright.PENANAKrHVrfamGi
235Please respect copyright.PENANAbnOPZWFfl8
「我們都彼此彼此。」兩個隊伍相視而笑,對於被歧視的狀況好像見怪不怪。235Please respect copyright.PENANA8U4ePEGKTW
235Please respect copyright.PENANA8lx7D69BXP
與有著外向氣質的路夫不同,多浬安更多的是文靜,高挑偏瘦且皮膚較白,如果不說是冒險者,更像是文書作業人員。235Please respect copyright.PENANAH4iHfuoC2U
235Please respect copyright.PENANAkhoXcbREUo
他身上的特徵與莎莉相似,有魚鰭在頭部兩旁,估計也是人魚種然後使用魔法,才有辦法在陸地上走動。235Please respect copyright.PENANADlttecaqQR
235Please respect copyright.PENANAmcwQJc0SYi
無心想團體作戰的人就不需要去理會,以在場三組人馬足以應付更多狀況。235Please respect copyright.PENANAN9yk0gkXap
235Please respect copyright.PENANAkd3hWsHmVL
除了我們以外,還有從中央島來的一個人。中央島是三角群島中位於中間的島,三個島個別會派出一些代表到中央島上,負責確認航線、稅率,在黑白巨蛇出現以後,開始蒐集黑白巨蛇的行動模式。235Please respect copyright.PENANA5ni5PhHMal
235Please respect copyright.PENANAinGiUUWa3t
我們根據行動模式,正式決定將時間定在後天的早晨,地點為一角島上的西海岸,透過海賊魔女的魔法來吸引黑白巨蛇。235Please respect copyright.PENANAQIyFKbq85V
235Please respect copyright.PENANArJilYkhX48
我們互相說出隊伍內的能力討論如何配合,還有如何利用西海岸的海灣進行圍捕。當然,魔女的事情不會特別說出來,也能察覺到他們並未說出底牌。235Please respect copyright.PENANAm8m517nPB9
235Please respect copyright.PENANAO1VyZhB2xb
以三個隊長為首擬定出不同的計畫方針,最後討論出一個主要計畫以及兩個備案。235Please respect copyright.PENANAo37PtwxGoO
235Please respect copyright.PENANAV5Y1i1t0Eg
「既然如此,沒問題,解散!」海賊魔女沒有在乎計畫詳細,不過這也很符合她的個性,不如讓她在必要時出力就好。235Please respect copyright.PENANAyxIwSjNjaZ
235Please respect copyright.PENANAeD7KgQo3M2
我們最後再確認一次便離開,他們說冒險者通常聚餐聊天是在完成任務大賺一筆,所以就不多打擾,而是回去做準備。235Please respect copyright.PENANAwtwbVCLss2
235Please respect copyright.PENANAU2ciwKf6pg
這也讓我知道冒險者之間果然有各式各樣的人。235Please respect copyright.PENANAtSForED5Wx
235Please respect copyright.PENANAdJgJltfhZG
~★~235Please respect copyright.PENANAchz2FlhhpI
235Please respect copyright.PENANAQF2VKfT1m5
稍微吃過午餐後,根據老闆的推薦,我們借了幾支釣竿,坐在適當的岩石岸上垂釣,由提利康和莎莉稍微教導我們釣魚。235Please respect copyright.PENANA73hfdfr6T4
235Please respect copyright.PENANAqWE4QignnM
為了避免垂釣太無聊,也準備了一些下酒菜以及酒來搭配。235Please respect copyright.PENANAfBEE2XnkA8
235Please respect copyright.PENANATUhTNj3Cj7
主要是我、優花梨以及提利康三人垂釣喝酒,另外幾人在石頭縫隙中抓捕生物,不知道可以抓到些什麼。235Please respect copyright.PENANAnLfvGpcaNF
235Please respect copyright.PENANAkoS756oVdc
我們買來的酒是一種當地特產,主原料是米以及麥釀製而成,再加上由海棲種提供的某種海中作物,最後出來的成品名為海酒,根據不同海域貌似還有不同風味的海酒,三角群島賣的叫東海酒。235Please respect copyright.PENANAlKriV2jYd8
235Please respect copyright.PENANAhVgOGJWQSa
我有好奇地詢問莎莉是否知道海中作物是什麼,然而莎莉表示不清楚,帶著幾分好奇以及擔心嘗試喝幾口。235Please respect copyright.PENANAGaGHMX59ud
235Please respect copyright.PENANA3NpA7ul9fO
喝下去第一個感覺是辛辣以及鹹味,米麥的餘香在口中難以散去,彷彿掉入漩渦一般難以逃離,最後才帶來微弱的清甜。235Please respect copyright.PENANAbpGbrzcutj
235Please respect copyright.PENANAc1dE3urhQK
「這口味還真特別。」235Please respect copyright.PENANAvpGDeSZ9rT
235Please respect copyright.PENANAlzVuDezKvU
「很多人都這麼說,不過喝習慣後可能就停不下來。」235Please respect copyright.PENANAdibBbMdFiy
235Please respect copyright.PENANA3EFMs6CNHJ
「我覺得很好喝。」235Please respect copyright.PENANAUpqXCgYhBi
235Please respect copyright.PENANAz0yfStYZEb
優花梨黏著我,拿起瓶子大口豪飲。235Please respect copyright.PENANAbYbH2TtkV4
235Please respect copyright.PENANAXyex9j8gYV
「好喝的話慢慢品嚐,待在三角群島這段時間還有很多機會可以喝。」我順帶提醒優花梨不要喝太多,先訂下最多喝三瓶而已。235Please respect copyright.PENANAA5Ezk2iOKr
235Please respect copyright.PENANAfQw96v9sAO
「不能再多喝嗎?」235Please respect copyright.PENANAgGlXr6nnqU
235Please respect copyright.PENANAhqLz6PQD8F
「不可以。」235Please respect copyright.PENANATkMAqDVHdB
235Please respect copyright.PENANAa5WBK2GP71
在優花梨沮喪的時候,釣竿傳來動靜,提利康連忙提醒,優花梨趕緊抓緊釣竿,最後釣起一條小魚。235Please respect copyright.PENANAmOhzQDCRIA
235Please respect copyright.PENANAZia1IHjZ34
提利康將魚從釣竿上取下,目的是為了示範,隨後將魚放回大海。235Please respect copyright.PENANAerm37jGpAv
235Please respect copyright.PENANA5x5dWyqRpi
「我的配菜!」235Please respect copyright.PENANAVzgha6mb4Y
235Please respect copyright.PENANAv5mOSdPjw5
「是為了生態嗎?」235Please respect copyright.PENANARasYBedlMX
235Please respect copyright.PENANAkCD8ytD3MK
「嗯,那條魚太小了,留在海裡比較好,如果是大魚倒無所謂。」235Please respect copyright.PENANAMQfuPbXQ9q
235Please respect copyright.PENANAInxcYU0UcC
釣竿沒有動靜的時候,我們只能坐在原地等待,喝著酒聊聊天,被冷冷的海風不停吹著。235Please respect copyright.PENANAOZWA2iUubZ
235Please respect copyright.PENANAbIf5D3krSu
優花梨直接黏緊緊,像是為了驅寒,不過相比炎熱,她明明就比較不怕冷。235Please respect copyright.PENANAdUbI5Ja7Qj
235Please respect copyright.PENANA6R3Yl387yF
過了一段時間,我們準備好的桶子內有四條比一整個手掌大的魚,其餘太小的通通放掉,不過這些都是靠提利康,他比我們更加熟悉釣魚。235Please respect copyright.PENANAX7VKkGA9zm
235Please respect copyright.PENANAJoW8Pzcn3q
古拉他們時不時會回來秀出戰利品,如果夠大就可以帶回去,另外一個桶子就放著戰利品,貌似是螃蟹、蚌殼之類的生物。235Please respect copyright.PENANAREcIpIRPzU
235Please respect copyright.PENANARh9bpcoEQo
這段時間有點像是靜心冥想,不過喝了酒的緣故,可以感受到身體逐漸燥熱,注意力也有點渙散,在我覺得快睡著的時候,釣竿好像傳來陣陣晃動,我趕緊抓住釣竿用力一拉,卻沒辦法拉出海中的抵抗者。235Please respect copyright.PENANA1IfZmw3M0I
235Please respect copyright.PENANAJgP7XbwsvZ
我想呼喚優花梨幫忙,才發現剛剛黏著我的她其實正在打盹,提利康注意到趕緊過來幫忙。235Please respect copyright.PENANAcpSsQDmN0H
235Please respect copyright.PENANARAPlHhI3M8
在兩人用力之下,就算敵人再怎麼強大,依然被拉出海平面,然而看見是什麼東西不禁讓人笑出來。235Please respect copyright.PENANAHpaPxgMJse
235Please respect copyright.PENANAZbXnozT35d
鉤子上居然是一堆海草,估計是不小心纏到海草,只能慢慢解開。235Please respect copyright.PENANARcv0itkeFA
235Please respect copyright.PENANAzvoEDeLJNJ
「剛剛感覺妳快睡著了,現在看起來清醒多。」由於剛剛得借助提利康的力量,變成他坐在我身後。235Please respect copyright.PENANAQQHA2NLMZN
235Please respect copyright.PENANAlLWiwix7wy
「喝了點酒就有點想睡。」235Please respect copyright.PENANA63MNcbTgLx
235Please respect copyright.PENANAqWgD3wtE2F
我慢慢解開海草,提利康還是沒有離開,而是像我的手,在輕弄我的頭髮。235Please respect copyright.PENANA2dUAuQCKtP
235Please respect copyright.PENANAa1ZrFwbuiY
「好像有點打結。」提利康說道。235Please respect copyright.PENANAGtOzmc3f7Z
235Please respect copyright.PENANAvbXqybWJHB
「多多少少會有一點。」235Please respect copyright.PENANASfEcFnxPrg
235Please respect copyright.PENANAw35NWJcm9h
「女生保養頭髮也很累,下次我帶幾瓶受好評的護髮產品給妳。」235Please respect copyright.PENANAHFffVAAR0y
235Please respect copyright.PENANAaamLw4zEcb
「謝謝。」235Please respect copyright.PENANAufzWsMzaXM
235Please respect copyright.PENANAUmY4q6f6rM
當我將海草清除乾淨後,提利康也停下手上的動作。235Please respect copyright.PENANAMFjy1sgeg3
235Please respect copyright.PENANAWacniDR65J
我往前移到剛剛釣魚的位置,提利康比起一開始坐到離我更近的地方。235Please respect copyright.PENANAhQSOZZW8um
235Please respect copyright.PENANA6nruHKHnfx
我偏過頭不讓自己注意到提利康。235Please respect copyright.PENANAFG4eEt1rVV
235Please respect copyright.PENANAgD1UrYTP0K
果然,我內心的位置多少被動過,甚至有時候會冒出不如都要好了。235Please respect copyright.PENANAjEJ3IapH6Z
235Please respect copyright.PENANAVojUyGC0o3
精神中的人格們對此好像都在吱吱喳喳,在討論誰比較好這件事,我只能漠視這些聲音。235Please respect copyright.PENANAmlHyfATcLr
235Please respect copyright.PENANAJNzIp3URGH
我扶起快要倒下的優花梨,讓她靠在我的左肩睡覺。235Please respect copyright.PENANAS1esFx8CsN
235Please respect copyright.PENANA477lBbE73A
確認不會倒後,準備去拿放在右邊的酒,提利康卻先行奪過。235Please respect copyright.PENANAJGVNjAvUMn
235Please respect copyright.PENANAatjsCypHLn
「妳不能喝了。」235Please respect copyright.PENANAJJnifI2UJJ
235Please respect copyright.PENANAyCQlRWPzN7
「我酒量沒這麼差,只是想睡覺而已。」235Please respect copyright.PENANA2ozVMtgGOu
235Please respect copyright.PENANAM89cTdcoZO
提利康看準我會照顧優花梨,把酒保持在我伸手碰不到的距離。235Please respect copyright.PENANAXVR4FNUqdZ
235Please respect copyright.PENANAKHUB74k5Om
我故意露出生氣的表情,提利康倒是不懼怕,只是將酒放在一旁,並環看四周,隨後握住我的手。235Please respect copyright.PENANAEqbofAEejg
235Please respect copyright.PENANAk4TygqLSX2
「這樣就不能拿酒了。」235Please respect copyright.PENANA4iLIvIQi2i
235Please respect copyright.PENANAzeEX1RHBK0
「我想喝。」235Please respect copyright.PENANAqqKHLU2Pog
235Please respect copyright.PENANApdL6cGySkc
我沒有握住,只是放鬆下來,提利康多少察覺到我沒有想要牽手的意思。235Please respect copyright.PENANATbDWRQd0Nf
235Please respect copyright.PENANANsDU4lAsVZ
「等等有人來我會放手。」235Please respect copyright.PENANAzA4AFwSFTG
235Please respect copyright.PENANACkZPv8aXa3
「優花梨醒來也要。」235Please respect copyright.PENANAG1UOtUY1Xh
235Please respect copyright.PENANAv5RupvU9Fo
「好。」235Please respect copyright.PENANA65Lzn8Otoq
235Please respect copyright.PENANAZonyDqLY9U
語畢,提利康用另一隻手餵我喝酒,我還是比較想自己喝。235Please respect copyright.PENANAQ9YJjWKo4I
235Please respect copyright.PENANA7bIhJHoMET
過了一會,古拉他們依然還沒回來,釣竿也沒有傳來動靜,只是安靜地讓提利康有機會牽著我的手。
235Please respect copyright.PENANAMWio7IJokG
男人的手果然比較大,他可以輕易地讓手指頭間相互碰觸,我卻沒辦法。235Please respect copyright.PENANALNmBDai1kW
235Please respect copyright.PENANAbAWdiwWdVb
我將頭靠在優花梨的頭上。腦內的聲音好吵,讓我睡一下吧。235Please respect copyright.PENANADIAqzMRuaQ
235Please respect copyright.PENANAlcZcfuwU9C
「隊長~隊長!」可愛的嗓音呼喚著我,我眨了眨眼睛,習慣一下陽光照射的光亮。235Please respect copyright.PENANAmPccsvJj9y
235Please respect copyright.PENANANzAI9xRBth
「隊長流口水了。」古拉笑笑地說道,我抬起右手擦拭,發覺提利康已經不在附近。235Please respect copyright.PENANAwRHd21sRQP
235Please respect copyright.PENANAvrds8ZmeTH
手中的溫度已經消失,但是觸感好像還殘留著。235Please respect copyright.PENANAgbOtc2XbfN
235Please respect copyright.PENANAvTq0U6VDYF
「大豐收。」夏興奮地拿著兩個桶子,有各種海鮮在裡頭,已經不太能分辨有什麼。235Please respect copyright.PENANAVdfdCImsfz
235Please respect copyright.PENANAx66UlxBbcl
「提利康呢?」我詢問在一旁的莎莉。235Please respect copyright.PENANAGnVfc7rqew
235Please respect copyright.PENANAdeddtfhNHm
「他跑去旁邊,他說那邊搞不好能釣到更大隻的魚。」235Please respect copyright.PENANAKB4xftWmo3
235Please respect copyright.PENANATEepNyz8h8
我往莎莉比的方向看並未看到人影,應該是在人來之前就先離開。235Please respect copyright.PENANAlRMowghxjG
235Please respect copyright.PENANACFM85ncpD4
稍微睡過後,不論是思緒還是精神都恢復許多,這才注意到一件事情。235Please respect copyright.PENANArWhWUA5YVx
235Please respect copyright.PENANAssML9zk8pm
優花梨的魔法是透過喝下的酒來獲得某種能力,如果是海酒的話,會是什麼能力呢?235Please respect copyright.PENANAVCa8uzvNAM
235Please respect copyright.PENANAUm55EhQFpN
於是我請莎莉帶我們去合適的淺水區測試。235Please respect copyright.PENANAbCutox3in7
235Please respect copyright.PENANANK123y8eCq
到達後,我讓優花梨試試看對水做些什麼,看看有什麼影響力。235Please respect copyright.PENANAeVxNsNJMwr
235Please respect copyright.PENANAzw2RFvnPp2
優花梨面對海水的冰涼沒有抗拒,蹲下身朝著海面潑了潑水,瞬間激起一個海浪。235Please respect copyright.PENANAqXjX3QNYdI
235Please respect copyright.PENANAbqcjF9EPef
優花梨不敢置信地看著自己的手,我繼續讓她測試。235Please respect copyright.PENANAd2Lp5hDsBu
235Please respect copyright.PENANA4T6kVebI2T
最後的結果是體能貌似沒什麼提升,反倒是對水增加許多能力,輕微的動作就可以輕鬆引起波瀾。235Please respect copyright.PENANA5dX9XiodSI
235Please respect copyright.PENANAqYliZ7VDas
不只如此,水還可以暫時被抓起,就像是魔力一般控制,只不過量很少。235Please respect copyright.PENANAehWmQdGAbe
235Please respect copyright.PENANAku6OglKsJj
古拉看見優花梨的能力,隨即衝下海利用魔法跟她玩起來,我還來不及阻止,兩人開始互相以海浪的方式攻擊彼此來嬉戲。235Please respect copyright.PENANA0XmKIBn5x3
235Please respect copyright.PENANA0Xcr1jV21g
雖然這裡溫度比起王都暖許多,但我還是擔心他們會感冒。235Please respect copyright.PENANA0AYToVAEWD
235Please respect copyright.PENANAs5cfiAfYIG
等到兩人玩累後,我趕緊使用魔法令兩人身體轉為溫暖。235Please respect copyright.PENANAV51VQdTnxL
235Please respect copyright.PENANAVqeRlRfGk3
當兩人身體逐漸乾燥下來,天色也緩慢變暗,我們決定趁現在返回。235Please respect copyright.PENANAyeP9rf8V44
235Please respect copyright.PENANA2gwL1LVZSr
將這些食材委託廚師幫我們料理,再叫上一些菜,晚餐便簡單的解決。235Please respect copyright.PENANAEGhJRibiev
235Please respect copyright.PENANAhxhwDiCOO1
明天一早我決定先去探查地形,所以早早入睡。
