We study D-branes wrapping an exceptional four-cycle P(1,a,b) in a blown-up C^3/Z_m non-compact Calabi-Yau threefold with (m;a,b)=(3;1,1), (4;1,2) and (6;2,3). In applying the method of local mirror symmetry we find that the Picard-Fuchs equations for the local mirror periods in the Z_{3,4,6} orbifolds take the same form as the ones in the local E_{6,7,8} del Pezzo models, respectively. It is observed, however, that the orbifold models and the del Pezzo models possess different physical properties because the background NS B-field is turned on in the case of Z_{3,4,6} orbifolds. This is shown by analyzing the periods and their monodromies in full detail with the help of Meijer G-functions. We use the results to discuss D-brane configurations on P(1,a,b) as well as on del Pezzo surfaces. We also discuss the number theoretic aspect of local mirror symmetry and observe that the exponent which governs the exponential growth of the Gromov-Witten invariants is determined by the special value of the Dirichlet L-function.
