迴響的隆隆聲如同夢境般遠去。370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAOU6MDeqMS
370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRpzBy57vKw
從開出的小縫裡，一道狹窄的光切開了無邊無際的黑暗。370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbiclRp1lNe
370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwqB4Y0b6ZC
杜若四肢著地地爬出櫥櫃，然後回過頭托著紫藤的肩膀離開那片狹小的黑暗。370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCJ0JSEKdJi
370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuFAKK8gAXF
兩人並著肩在階梯旁仰起頭喘著氣，久違地照進眼裡的燈光刺眼眩目，但再怎麼說也比不見天日的黑暗要來得令人安心。370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDuHHsy41yf
370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCzTd4fg884
連沙華會都靜謐下來，就代表連凌晨也快要結束了吧。370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRx03LGlM9x
370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD0zXasXPFt
就連喘息的時間也如同光明般狹窄，兩人不可能在這再休息到早晨來臨。於是，杜若一感覺到力氣開始回流到四肢時，就起身伸出手牽起虛弱的紫藤。370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCpmUlkwOZk
370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1LGfixUXge
「走吧。我們一起回去。」370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡseUdUeDSyV
370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9sqIPx5zs4
這麼說了之後，杜若便鑽進紫藤的脅下，用窄小的肩頭努力撐起紫藤向前。370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQpb7CVlobD
370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqhfwHegVzA
一路上，兩人就這樣攙扶著彼此，幸運地毫無阻礙便回到了西區。370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwk9t1RBeob
370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFdt7g7bixZ
為了處理傷口，杜若讓紫藤靠到了床板上頭。370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzYFG3Xv9Pr
370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZcEerGt1HQ
「嗚……！」370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8zGAcioRln
370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoEqkU35Jx4
消毒藥水碰到傷口的劇痛，讓紫藤吃痛地叫出悶聲。370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzesdeivjhx
370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9ez81x5Sc6
「很痛嗎……？」杜若停下動作，擔憂地看向紫藤。370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDxPO3X6qrV
370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm15KlLj6z8
回到西區的路上，紫藤甚至虛弱到就連話都沒辦法說了。所以哪怕只是一聲也好，杜若也想要聽見紫藤的聲音。370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf5hCguz2JO
370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1hW0QHbSYu
而痛楚彷彿把紫藤的魂給拉了回來，宛如大夢初醒般地看了杜若和手中的棉花棒後，紫藤才喘著氣、略略地頷首。370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNmnkrpxmfj
370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxvQO8u8HCb
「……我還可以忍。」說完，紫藤打直手臂。370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfncBe0ygoC
370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ34TDpESuGi
杜若點點頭，卻宛如做錯了事一般地垂下眼簾。370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4yq8Hwx1qL
370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡefutivLGO8
如果不是自己想要聽信墨駒，也不會讓墨駒有機可趁了——但現在後悔也沒有用，照顧受傷的紫藤才是眼下應該做的事。370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd0dvHaScxt
370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmMf85BfJd0
「那、再忍耐一下就好。」370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjc0U5VIERX
370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWkUDxsCsUr
「呼、呼……嗚——！」370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxs5zDvCNEW
370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡARoI9RF8zQ
紫藤試著吸氣來緩和疼痛，卻還是沒辦法不吃痛地發出聲音來。清潔並上完藥後，杜若小心地用紗布蓋起那道駭人的傷口並纏上繃帶，原本純白的繃帶立刻就被染成了一片暗紅。370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeq0Uq0j6cc
370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQyNHiCCl9C
現在只能做這樣的應急處理，等到明天還是得去醫院才行。幸好公用醫療箱裡頭還有這些基本的醫療用品，不然就這樣放著傷口，今晚紫藤恐怕連躺下都會有困難。370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHXjPkoOKls
370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSyXGXW8184
疼痛過了幾次呼吸才終於緩和下來。杜若拿來水杯靠在紫藤的嘴巴上，讓紫藤小口小口地補充水分。370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUe4GhDdLrx
370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTEDq3c7jfl
滋潤冰涼地滑過喉間，直到此時、紫藤才終於有種放下心來的感覺。370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEoGylgtk9S
370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxEp526p6eq
「還要喝嗎？」杜若捧著還有一半的水杯，輕柔地問。370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy8qHqUVlpC
370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw0KXKJ55pW
杜若關心的神情就好像是流經喉頭的水那樣沁入了紫藤的胸口。於是紫藤點點頭，再次把嘴湊了過去。370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ12khwAD2e9
370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0eeOhWWeJJ
等到杯子空了、正想伸手擦乾嘴角時，杜若就先一步用手帕抹上了紫藤的嘴角。370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ501wigPg9i
370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqyEAYovzE9
「……謝謝。」370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡslbyJNBnu1
370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkHGTnYgyvi
「不會啦，現在也輪到我照顧紫藤了。」杜若收起手帕，露出了彷彿可以烘乾衣服的溫暖笑容。370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsU56H9tDXm
370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIUz86C9bIl
明明、對方不久前才在自己的面前殺了人，但現在看著杜若的側臉，紫藤卻盡只感到安心跟鬆了一口氣的感覺一湧而上。370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrkRySMcTkf
370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuZ6uMcZpJm
是自己終於開始習慣了嗎？那時，紫藤的手上就已經流滿鮮血，卻只有砸在墨駒臉上時所沾上的溼黏感格外鮮明。就好像在入睡前的一場夢境，令紫藤感到有些恍惚。370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc4523VbIS2
370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9RQ9fvprEn
不過，這無疑都是事實。370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxKbwJcgvlK
370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFLgZu1x1nd
掌心中，那枚墨駒沒能拿回去的、鑲著淡紫色寶石的銀戒就是最好的證據。370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWmgRlIpL8L
370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2QY0IDV18g
紫藤壓根也沒想到有能夠尋回這枚戒指的一天。對紫藤來說、只受這點傷就找回了它簡直是太划算了。370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIP91pmDr3h
370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW0xkPcezSe
「紫藤、這個戒指到底是……？」杜若好奇地看著手中的戒指，疑惑地歪過頭。370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡALZ1zq7FbR
370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7dfR7mz6v1
沉默了半晌，紫藤才慢慢地開口。370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY6mFdcyHDN
370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDapEaBu1Nk
「是我媽媽的遺物。」370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM98oBGVSmC
370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUYMoYzCl8k
戒指的內緣刻著一行寫著母親名字的小字，證明了這就是那枚獨一無二的戒指。雖然紫藤對父親沒有任何印象，但母親卻經常以懷念的面容提起關於父親的事情。370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8BGN1m0BIn
370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmUIefVGYoV
「咦……？那為什麼會在墨駒的手裡呀？」杜若不假思索地問道。370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtpCdMANLsL
370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5cVGbJWMuv
「我也不知道。」紫藤搖搖頭，黯然地闔上雙眼。370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPztQCRdHHK
370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU6o4jk1ySg
紫藤從來不曾對同輩的人說過這些事，但現在、紫藤卻覺得讓杜若知道也無妨。370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuUq9bSlSeJ
370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm426C7OZTl
「可是媽媽他、就是被沙華會的人給殺死的。」就好像在試圖壓下傷口的灼熱似地，紫藤輕撫著前臂的紗布，緩緩地繼續說道：370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOo73eospSK
370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkGOURIIu5l
「小時候，我的媽媽曾經向沙華會借過錢。但最後，媽媽卻因為還不出錢來……而被沙華會給殺了。」370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYsd3p2NXQW
370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU27bQCuVPY
媽媽並不是沒辦法還出錢來，只是在最後一刻、錢竟然被劫走了。紫藤怎麼想都覺得奇怪、為什麼就這麼剛好在那種時候？如今，紫藤認為那一切全都是沙華會的伎倆，他們根本沒有想讓母親還清債務的意思，只想在那一年裡壓榨完母親所有的心力、等到沒價值了就宰殺掉而已。370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDNALlnaSFJ
370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrhYsTkDCNi
「這就是那時候、他們從媽媽的身上搶走的東西之一。」370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCd5UytFcnR
370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6PuGOgBGyI
紫藤至今——至死都不會忘記母親在自己的眼前被殺掉的畫面。年幼的自己只能無力地躲在一旁，看著母親殘忍地被一刀刀殘殺至死。370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWETG1AEMEH
370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡftZm5L5ZK3
從那時起，濺在臉上的那朵紅花就已經在紫藤的心頭生根。370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmE8nvqIIms
370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIR1qc1lKzm
只是，紫藤也從未想過竟然會在途中找到母親生前的遺物，紫藤覺得自己簡直幸運的無以復加。370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjK3IcI6ovW
370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy0DPc76oTk
「原來……這是對紫藤來說這麼重要的東西啊。」370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ19PIb6bGwZ
370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsV0NIR8LKi
「嗯。」紫藤在胸前連同戒指握緊了拳頭。370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8cGJjdWyHr
370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfdriU3KfkD
對紫藤來說，媽媽所留下的東西沒有一個不是珍貴的。無論是這個房間、髮飾、還是這枚戒指，都是媽媽曾經存在過的證明。哪怕再也微不足道，紫藤也想要盡可能地將它們攬在手中。370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbBsdUCPbQo
370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbQqtk2b7yO
自己已經不想要再失去任何東西了。370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW91HVJIQ5g
370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSD73RpfnU1
「紫藤的媽媽是個什麼樣的人、可以跟我說說嗎？」杜若露出了既好奇又害怕冒犯的眼神、試探地探出腦袋。370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUmKK5glmMZ
370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4osw0WCwgJ
紫藤思考地垂下了眼簾幾秒。而再次睜開眼時，紫藤已經將目光放到了不知遙遠的何處。370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUoWeATehUa
370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwIntj74Ww0
「媽媽他——」370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUUnm9yaj2j
370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHNxiTmDwI7
以這句話做為開場白後，紫藤便將那些早已被自己翻到泛黃的回憶給拿了出來。370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKTBsxM4xx3
370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSLOX1ekoQo
小時候，紫藤最常從街上的大叔大嬸嘴聽到的一句話就是「跟媽媽很像」。370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiCrDVEuMEa
370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq1TKmv7q7a
同樣有著一頭的黑色長髮、話也同樣不怎麼多。而唯一不同的，就是媽媽是個非常堅強的女性，總是用那粗糙而修長的手把紫藤給攬在身後。370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1wi3qVVw00
370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNVDkFmOGOh
而媽媽在南區有間小小的、買賣布料的店面，小時候的紫藤最喜歡的就是跟在媽媽後頭一起做生意。儘管有時候會因為笨手笨腳而挨其他大叔大嬸的罵，但那卻是紫藤最為快樂的一段時光。370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEAdzc0kQp9
370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOAq0MBfKZW
只是在紫藤逐漸長大後，媽媽卻漸漸不希望紫藤跟著自己，而想要把紫藤託付給學校。370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNMXUb74r1k
370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWlyqVOhjTS
但紫藤一點都不喜歡學校。370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRllUfzO7b8
370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWTcMRusJGP
比起那些吵吵鬧鬧又喜歡惡作劇的小孩子，紫藤更喜歡跟在可靠卻寡言的媽媽後頭，幫忙結帳、整理或是裁剪布料。370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVqu3iwopqq
370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIXOapzxuX0
對當時的紫藤而言，媽媽這麼做就好像是想要把自己給拋棄一樣。370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsqi9vZ9DRQ
370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLz3xNyynEs
於是紫藤頭一次跟媽媽吵架了。那是一場紫藤單方面地對著媽媽出氣的架，從頭到尾媽媽都只是靜靜地傾聽著紫藤的任性，偶爾像在思考著什麼地低下頭來。370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXKSVT0t2vT
370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXzINoEuf3h
而在那之後，媽媽就再也沒有要紫藤去上學了。只是摸摸紫藤的頭以後，就像以前一樣，讓磕磕絆絆的紫藤跟在自己的後頭做生意。370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYVQ8ZaPs0w
370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFMBNSDgSa6
嗯，這樣就夠了。那時的紫藤只有這麼單純的滿足。370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz9TqcceJDx
370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpzYX7lsmoy
然而這樣的日子持續不久。在一個秋天的傍晚、鉛炭鎮發生了一起極其嚴重的意外。370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzfjeCA6eGM
370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdorxOgRkmv
那是一起倒塌事件。370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsa54AJdwQf
370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCtv7pa2z3V
由於鉛炭鎮的樓房蓋的十分緊密，因此只要一棟樓倒塌，便極容易引發連鎖效應。那起倒塌事件就現在的記載，足足有將近二十棟的樓房倒塌、傷亡數更是難以記載。370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9KTiGEZ6hh
370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOiUhy53JKx
雖然沒有受到倒塌事件的直接傷害，但媽媽的店面卻因此全毀，讓兩人頓時失去了幾乎所有的財產。370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQDtidVny5K
370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡANBlAGAlxF
那之後就如紫藤所說，媽媽為了生存而選擇向沙華會借貸。在那一年裡，媽媽幾乎從未闔眼休息、只為了賺回損失的財產。370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMlsmTVPGVn
370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGLGUxmmYVA
那時的媽媽早已面容枯槁。而殘忍地將其心力、金錢、生命盡數奪走的惡意，正是沙華會。370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcwdqFDvb2I
370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgpQ8mzPZcT
「……我會找到給墨駒這個戒指的人。」370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNKMUaCN4Cq
370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0IPfTpx2qZ
收起回憶，紫藤再次握緊了戒指。370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPmdZJl5CVT
370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjU5NUU1vff
「然後，殺了他。」370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLcrlbsWL6w
370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNqNi3g9j4E
紫藤的眼神猶如熾火，沒有一分一毫的搖曳。370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQMFcRJDUbx
370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPbejT1h75P
但只不過幾秒，便很快地萎靡了下來。370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiwQBa8f99X
370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsWspXpN9yU
「可是、我卻下不了手。」紫藤無力地鬆開了手：「不管怎麼樣……我都沒辦法像杜若妳那樣。」370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCResVTD38V
370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8p3iAfL3dK
明知道沙華會是惡，紫藤卻無法真的對那群敗類下殺手。也許正是因為那時媽媽遭到殺害的畫面烙印得太過深刻，紫藤才會下意識地抑制著、不讓那副景象再次出現吧。370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoIL4cVOTlK
370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr5nZTvTqMd
而自己的這份軟弱，既沒有人可以幫助紫藤克服，也不會有人能夠理解——除了杜若。370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm5RwjPtnIZ
370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyk917EMbPU
「原來、這就是紫藤想要跟我一起行動的原因呀。」370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNbxZdYTey8
370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCGfbAvoGOl
「……嗯。」370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq9ETV0IgqQ
370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMlzh9yq9hH
那時見到的杜若是如此純粹，就好像一把剛從水中淬出的刀刃般，不帶著任何一絲污穢。370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡARJ9FCtXC2
370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzYrq9N4qsQ
紫藤深信，這就是自己向那些骯髒禽獸復仇的楔子。370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmXierEg4S7
370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQT6gVeHUfw
這就是足以斬斷自己心頭那朵紅花的白刃。370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWbJrIWd43h
370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuAWNtUXGqE
「……杜若妳呢？」370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ90PJph6NVn
370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnIxTAyTZ9f
紫藤拾起快要滿溢的情感，回望了杜若那如新月般的雙眸。370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI22Y4otcFT
370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRU9DweQQk6
「又是為什麼……會開始當殺手？」370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIUBpee3ebK
370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQxhr0aXI2r
剛才、杜若確實說過想要請鎮裡最好的醫生，但杜若看起來並不像是患有什麼嚴重疾病或是殘缺的樣子。370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxM2y7G3NNz
370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxFxAXHBdmg
聽見紫藤的疑問，杜若就好像是在思考、也像是在害怕似地垂下了眼簾。370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXaSnH1kfl9
370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzjJE1FqwaX
「紫藤……不會生氣吧？」370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaDj59AIfdl
370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8mBURHa3kE
杜若果然還在意著那時自己的衝動。370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhZkplDpLMn
370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc9sxHlrhBE
但如果是要請醫生，怎麼樣也不會是做不好的事吧？紫藤這麼想著，舉起沒受傷的手摸了摸杜若的頭頂。370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡusz5vVcgas
370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa2N8hO3Ze4
「不會。」紫藤堅定地說：「我保證。」370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyVG3V31v9z
370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4l68fFq9lr
等到紫藤緩緩收起手後，杜若才按著胸口，下定決心地開口。370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvc0GglvNYm
370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxOqzdUD2zT
「……我想要救陶壺叔。」370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkJ5zxmDPdy
370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE7ghIajYwv
杜若喃喃吐出的回答令紫藤感到十分意外。370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDUf8JYgQB8
370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0doFZ5YCrC
之前見到陶壺叔確實是在北大街，但陶壺叔本人看上去並沒有多大的病痛呀？370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjL0bAXGFLg
370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIEzkQRRtox
就好像發現了紫藤的疑惑，杜若幽幽地繼續說道：370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNZhSoeuhp2
370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ21RDBGvOhN
「陶壺叔生的是一種會讓身體漸漸沒辦法動的病。醫生說，雖然現在只有手指，但很快就會變成手、腳、身體……最後是心臟。只要過不了四年，陶壺叔就會被那種病給殺死了。」370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzTpuZwFHUq
370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQkXrRtIIuN
全身慢慢就會不能動的病？370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5k0Ql1kmxF
370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj6vFOL40QA
這種病紫藤是頭一次聽見。370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeqWDpIqazL
370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ73wL6dBIWd
「我也偷偷問了很多醫生，但他們都說那是一種沒辦法治好的病。明明是這樣，但陶壺叔從來都沒跟我說過、還一直都笑著裝作沒事。直到我不小心聽到其他醫生跟白鵑提到陶壺叔，我才知道陶壺叔一直都瞞著我。」370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkLtoCzzuf3
370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTmoXOA2M3C
「現在陶壺叔已經沒辦法走很長的路、也不太能拿重的東西了。」杜若的口氣變得哀傷起來，卻也有一份同等重量的不甘心。370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6ni7g5mNU6
370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR6vJKkCiTF
「我明明也想要幫忙陶壺叔的，可是、我卻不知道自己到底該怎麼做才好——因為就連醫生都沒辦法了嘛。」370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVTwbzhw1A6
370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxqHXZYNCNO
杜若的笑只看得見無力。370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFrlIQeyBYr
370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB2d0wyWbiN
「直到有天，狐狸告訴我說她有辦法，但前提就是要幫忙她去殺掉那些人。所以，狐狸才發給了我這把槍、還有手機。」370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEBoQlOcnSH
370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPZMHKwZFXo
到這裡，杜若便沒有繼續說下去了。370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwCzOEsfBqQ
370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwjQmM2bMFD
並不是因為仇恨，也不是因為利益，而只是單單地想要為某人而付出。杜若的理由就跟個性一樣是如此單純、甚至令紫藤的胸口刺痛。370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqQ55zjNNFZ
370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH94ViIJ2Dw
然而，紫藤卻忍不住想要質疑的念頭。370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIp3UudZJZr
370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsA9CnIjBr4
「那個狐狸、真的就這麼值得相信嗎？」370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdmBx6oThhw
370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFGrqyissEK
如果就連鎮裡最優秀的人都沒辦法了，狐狸又怎麼可能醫好陶壺叔的病？再者，就算殺死的是沙華會的人，讓還只是女孩的杜若去持槍犯險本身就很荒謬。370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0OtelU7PkF
370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqyc1FKL27l
「……狐狸一直都對我很好呀。」370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDqdxCaqVBk
370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4hDvuBOl6p
杜若笑了。卻讓人分不清那是真的笑容、還是在故作堅強，讓紫藤的鼻子裡無聲地滑過一陣酸楚。370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnUkV9kKKdR
370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOZs1Jcy8Bw
「所以，我還是相信狐狸。」370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ4OHcABoil
370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc1lVfAgRcE
杜若就好像在對自己喊話似地緊緊握起拳頭，但小小的手中、有的卻只有虛無。370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9CrbZVtfVt
370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡufDCE0PElA
也許這麼說太過自以為是，但紫藤從這道笑容裡看到的並不是想要相信、而是不得不相信。370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU2h3LIMXIn
370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjJ800fYAj1
只因為狐狸的許諾是杜若的最後一絲曙光。所以杜若除了抓住它以外也別無他法——僅僅就只是如此而已。370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡot1eVDd0KI
370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf4p1kM4DOn
哪怕、就算那道光芒是朝自己射出的子彈也一樣。370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfettzIVxs5
370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfKkneIrFNE
紫藤也曾望著母親的背影被偽裝成曙光的惡火給吞噬殆盡。但只因為如此，就可以不負責任地說聲「放棄吧」把一切希望給澆熄嗎？370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡavoQUySkod

這怎麼可能。370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡso1tuBls1r
370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ62chfurIUf
沒有人知曉光芒的後頭是陽光亦或是惡火，但倘若停止腳步、也只會在黑暗消逝。無論是誰，追逐光芒都是與生俱來的本能。370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi4OY3LlckK
370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI6PBgimPIJ
看著杜若緊握的手，紫藤便不捨地伸出手、略顯生硬地鑽進了那冰涼而纖弱的掌心。370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlipghnOUTm
370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGh6WJHS2hM
也許，杜若一直都是握著這樣飄渺晃蕩的希望走來，但起碼現在、紫藤能夠確實地握住杜若。370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡshIb41jQPQ
370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI5xUNPaIbl
如果杜若前進的方向是惡火，那紫藤就要在最近的地方拉住杜若。370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY3QWDQnfAJ
370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc74fIIemuh
察覺到掌心的柔軟，杜若看著紫藤靦腆地一笑。370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6NmrEl1YFG
370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE3T0jQoR4s
轉動手腕、解開五指，那份只屬於兩人相握時的溫熱便從掌心蔓延到了指縫370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4DUan9WTHK
370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuqoLHdr0gn
「但就算這樣，我也還是想自己去試試看。」經過短暫的沉澱，杜若再次充滿生氣地抬起頭來。370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ45mOBF3KAF
370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0c9O1hvgem
「我想只要有夠多的錢的話，也許就可以把大家一起找來、找出能夠馬上醫好陶壺叔的辦法了！」370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqbcjdUSfGJ
370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDla3DQEpqZ
剛才籠罩著的陰鬱被一掃而空，杜若看著紫藤，露出了開朗的笑容。370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX4d4uArpr7
370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp4QwdTrQlg
「不過，果然還是不能夠靠沙華會的人呢。」370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQjfVH86GRE
370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5lVcwW3eHo
經過剛才被反擊的經驗，讓兩人都對這點有了更多的共識。370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaLeOXzctmk
370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr2jcXAoEC0
說了句「話說回來」後，杜若就一轉話鋒、向紫藤問道：370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSQmFU6XBZx
370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmSTsMZl2Bj
「紫藤想要殺掉的人又是誰呀？紫藤還記得嗎？」370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡguk8anGjMq
370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN28nLuo9M8
這問題讓紫藤才想起自己從沒有跟杜若——不、甚至是從沒有跟任何人說過這件事。370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy4VTaJx7j1
370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDg4M2DThTu
「是一個……在脖子後面紋著白色線條的沙華會紋身的人。」370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXo5BYXJZG2
370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxSAkx4bmsR
從腦海深處的角落翻出這片景象。那人在殺害媽媽時，紫藤只有一瞬間記下了那個至今都從未看見第二次的特殊紋身。370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk5BeUNnaGl
370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKjWdPAtM74
「沙華會的紋章幾乎都是鮮紅色的、有白色條紋的紋身……我就只見過那麼一次。但不管我怎麼找、那個人卻就好像消失了一樣，再也沒有出現過。」370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd6FR5daSbk
370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3ZLQ12bkjY
而唯一有可能知道的墨駒已經被殺了，但紫藤並不感到後悔。比起狡獪的他們，紫藤更寧願靠自己的手去搜索。370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡenjWg4H1J3
370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcLYih6w0PS
「這樣的話，我也來幫忙吧！」杜若自告奮勇地舉高手：370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfMEQRRa3Ji
370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhtmzNTgHlk
「兩個人一起找絕對比較快的！」370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsSRq6bVPGV
370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ36fPk0g2jj
杜若的模樣、讓紫藤晚了一步才發現自己說錯了話。370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3i9XrBdmp5
370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKO6oytpequ
紫藤默默地低下頭、沉聲回答。370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ55yzqkYTNv
370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ96f9bN6K9G
「……不用那樣。我……我自己就夠了。」370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIPKL9uBR8R
370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBQYcX0DDCu
這冷淡的回答讓杜若頓時像被潑了水的貓咪似地一愣。370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTfie3DAl81
370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡThoCX9IoLv
「可是、紫藤不是說到現在都……」370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPGRT6Ed3rE
370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIPOXL8Sp5E
「這本來就是我自己的事。」370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT2VgBCsKpj
370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTMq86FEL6r
就算杜若能夠輕鬆地下殺手，但自己的復仇跟杜若是兩回事。370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGalwB7syZM
370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgtk24i7kx0
紫藤很清楚自己的眼前只有惡火。而單單只是殺手的任務就已經足夠危險，杜若根本沒有必要為此承擔這些危險。370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJYKkkSy4va
370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpCJVjcO5gb
「那要是紫藤遇到危險怎麼辦！」倏地，杜若站起身、提高音量370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDdZv38PrSb
370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvEITQNsFU6
「我就是為了保護自己，才會去學習要怎麼搏鬥。」370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEc8B3DSzw4
370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN7vTZIMcX8
紫藤明白杜若的擔憂。但紫藤正是為了不讓自己在完成復仇前先被吞沒，才用盡了心力去磨練自己。370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiNXfDC1cFT
370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCwrD6FhXL4
「可是、假如對方有槍、假如遇到像今天一樣的事……」370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMMdEkXABim
370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3WMMfVwEO9
「我是不會讓自己被殺死的。」370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOCMqxsy6JS
370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwU1uvQkPJC
「紫藤明明就傷成這樣、還說這種話……！」370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrAVJnayGja
370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV48IQalIMI
看見紫藤一副無所謂的模樣，杜若更是焦急到話都說不清楚了。370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡESqi1ssiIC
370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRY4XFCmT7F
紫藤沒能給出杜若期待的回應。卻還是於心不忍地輕握住了杜若的手。370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJVaiSeSMjI
370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYlepZBBGyq
杜若雖然想甩開，但卻在一半就失去了力氣。370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeP0lTwabSY
370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuaM4kgPqGP
「明明、明明紫藤也硬是摻進了我的事情，現在卻又說這種話、這樣真的太不公平了……」370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxrQz25opYa
370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbRMqAZMlnc
杜若像個鬧彆扭的孩子一樣發起脾氣，但鬧彆扭的人卻總是最認真的。也因此，紫藤才無從反駁。370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJuvYBhQkxs
370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCNl5J2L0hJ
是啊，明明就是自己先不講理地要杜若帶著自己的，這樣又有什麼資格拒絕杜若呢？370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOafTJQ1biN
370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdHtiwmqvNY
但就算不公平也好，紫藤之所以握著杜若的手，絕非是要杜若陪著自己跳進火海。370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJgv2NTdzPN
370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIkYXXeyEe5
最後，紫藤還是用了奸詐的說法。370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpIsMAdrzsf
370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb3aOYbMBua
「我跟陶壺叔約定過，說不會讓妳受傷了。」370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT6SeWedjcw
370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdLFBSm6eIK
「那難道紫藤要我看著妳受傷嗎？」370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCbqinlVMRC
370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXGl6H7n4oU
雖然夾雜著鼻音、但這句話卻如此強而有力。370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSJeV6NdBzt
370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqynp5pqu7n
在八年前的那個夜晚、紫藤也是那樣地看著母親被一刀刀殘殺致死——明明注視著、卻什麼也做不了的無力是多麼令人痛苦，紫藤比任何人都還要明白。370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVbBVo2aaIw
370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4sVxE7oZNh
杜若也正是因為這樣的痛苦，才選擇了這條看似荒謬的道路。370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc3MT04V8xP
370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLOT9bCh3zO
而紫藤打算再在杜若的身上再添一層相同的痛苦嗎？370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡamrUt1Bwie
370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC0a13ZK1rN
紫藤無法回答，只是沉默地別開了視線。370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡij9WrGYutU
370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtPlNqHTVRb
看見杜若受傷，自己會感到痛苦。而看見自己受傷，杜若會感到痛苦。然而若是因此什麼也不做，又有誰能夠替枉死的母親報仇雪恨？370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyTBKXJTSIN
370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1ExtDF7v7t
哪條路都是崎嶇，哪條路也都是痛苦。370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwRPwd3CYow
370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkhtyaP5u1d
如今，在這條路上有個願意走到身旁攜手並進的人，又為何不欣然接受就好？370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8EjCjHYD5y
370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ49UO7w0vFU
只因為就連接受也是痛苦吧。370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGU8Eo8l4CU
370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlPSe6Qk44N
但、當初不就是因為明白自己沒辦法獨自走完腳下的路，所以才會自顧自地跟在杜若後頭不是嗎？370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU3aUDxKZai
370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWISoYK7ieg
如果說想要把什麼東西給握在手裡、就免不了被刺出鮮血。那麼起碼受傷的方式可以交由彼此來抉擇。370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ65xrgYp4qO
370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6lGdge7Zt1
思及至此，紫藤才慢慢地放鬆了手中的力道。370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd3wFTsajAo
370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIHXflpLYYJ
「答應我、要先保護好妳自己。」370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4pePSPQUe1
370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuzSgQSqUFU
紫藤不帶一絲玩笑地注視著杜若的雙眼，而看見紫藤的神情，杜若才終於破涕為笑。370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡssyZujQilm
370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ11Yv3247my
「可是，紫藤會保護我的吧？這樣我的份不就用不到了？」杜若歪著頭反問。然後扣緊了紫藤安放在腿上的手。370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU44ofjQQdA
370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1pH7uBMk6d
「所以，我的份就用來保護紫藤吧！」370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwLKI81SJ28
370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6IsxTr7jU3
紫藤雖沒有點頭，卻還是回望著對方微微笑，回握住指縫間的柔軟。370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoMlwYxSozp
370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1uZf3b2Bol
「喔喔！紫藤笑了耶！」370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdAFBnarA21
370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH8h0OTYNmF
頭一次看見紫藤的笑容，讓杜若欣喜地舉高手，卻不小心拉起了紫藤負傷的前臂而使紫藤臉色一緊。370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8J2XpyEWeD
370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZAH2GDkyQw
「哇啊啊——！對不起！」杜若立刻慌張地放下手來。370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5i2vN9qA4o
370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg5FcTZAV3F
疼痛雖然還沒散去，但紫藤還是發自內心地笑了。370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQACQvci8IR
370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLPlHGYGSFO
「……對了！」這時，杜若突然靈機一動地眼神一亮：「不知道可不可以請狐狸幫紫藤找找看呢？」370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMCB9VEVyKP
370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8CmYhPToh3
「咦？」這提議讓紫藤也感到意外地眨了眨眼。370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaM7IZQOSgw
370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOwm3dDXt4y
「雖然是我自己猜的……不過狐狸應該很擅長找人吧。」370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDM9lLnqPkK
370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEuXF3R8Ohe
應該說如果那個狐狸不擅長，就不可能精確地知道目標的出沒地點與時間吧。370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZS8dBHh5KE
370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnkE47mpHxb
紫藤確實沒想到這個方法——不，更應該說是刻意忽略掉了才是。370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0UXzWVP9SO
370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQTIjoCXOeC
紫藤還是沒辦法相信一個就連臉都沒見過、還讓杜若做這麼危險的事情的人。把這樣重要的任務託付給對方真的妥當嗎？光是想的就有種不踏實感。370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZBEWcZGzsl
370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcGFI3Td2Ln
不過，如果那個狐狸願意幫忙，也許真的會是一大助力。比起自己的脾氣，不是更應該去想要怎樣才能早一步替母親報仇雪恨才對嗎？370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNTEjBkunyt
370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡedixRghUy3
自己尋覓這麼多年來都毫無所獲，而現在就有一個或許能夠跨出一大步的機會，又怎麼能夠放棄？370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgJzNLYKxRR
370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnXr3T7Y2kr
「那……可以幫我跟狐狸說說看嗎？」370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ30eP8W8qV2
370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFCbmm6mOXt
「當然呀，這是我提議的嘛～」杜若自信地抱起手臂、挺起胸膛。370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVHjUszqYKU
370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhbcupFXCfo
就在這時，紫藤注意到了杜若的手肘與膝蓋上也有著斑斑的擦傷。370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5O7gxDsgcu
370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKZWABzUdfa
是被墨駒踢倒的時候撞上的吧。雖然不比紫藤嚴重，但印在杜若柔嫩的肌膚上、還是格外叫人心疼。370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6H0OQ2lvGF
370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRT3DzgxyfC
「妳的傷……換我幫妳吧。」370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEFfG2Oyqmj
370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9IqO4MUaAp
被紫藤一說，杜若才發覺似地看了看自己的傷，露出一派輕鬆的笑容。370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS9dK0JM8lo
370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3RV43GWPgi
「我這點傷才沒事啦～」說完，杜若從醫療箱裡頭翻出了幾條止血貼布遞給紫藤。370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPCscNR17Gy
370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKECEf4HaLH
「貼這個應該就可以了。紫藤就幫我一下吧。」說完，杜若也爬到床上坐到了一旁。370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCLNFLw4OY5
370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdjCFCeJfFG
「撕得開來嗎？」杜若看著紫藤有些僵硬的動作，有所顧慮地問。370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEjKueUpoDJ
370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ14OGkZ7g0y
「動作不需要太大，沒問題的。」慢慢地撕開膠帶後，紫藤往杜若受傷的手肘上貼去、神情專注。370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYy7YRJsxae
370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiNTagoRmmw
「……好了。換膝蓋吧。」370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSlIawaoUde
370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNLlqNCSNOO
輕輕撫平皺起的部分，紫藤這才發現杜若一動也不動地盯著自己。370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZy67tiPSQC
370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl1YZuQFwD0
「我臉上有什麼嗎？」紫藤不解地偏過頭。370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZGFnzAjcBs
370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiknMNcmUWv
「唔嗯、沒有呀。」盯得出神的杜若這才回過神來地搖搖頭，靦腆地說道：370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxgbTyvuGdu
370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs5JvUx39jw
「只是覺得紫藤認真的模樣……果然好帥喔。」370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoJXgOfnwND
370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQBcH26N88R
突如其來的稱讚，令紫藤頓時耳根一熱。370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡElvzVywuuT
370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSfNWGuPvo6
在道場偶爾也會有人這麼稱讚紫藤——儘管紫藤從不這麼覺得——但明明是同樣的誇獎，為什麼從杜若的嘴巴裡說出來感覺就是不一樣呢？370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡouv9zTyEbJ
370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJkKiJXT8Wr
「我、我……」不知道該怎麼回應的紫藤搓著發熱的耳朵，無所適從地左右張望，最後才低下頭、用著連自己都快聽不到的聲音悄聲地說了句：370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLq6dkb11Ct
370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUt5dodqltF
「謝謝……」370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhICsS8Y7XQ
370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdLVmFVPom2
「嗯？」370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYkbWUr45f5
370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1uhAnqnNcr
「沒、沒有……！」紫藤彷彿像要掩飾過去拉高音量，匆忙地接著說道：「比起那些、還有膝蓋的傷……！」370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoxNIt07hbL
370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGDUkuKVQWG
杜若雖然有些不明白，卻也覺得今天表情豐富的紫藤很有趣，就沒有多問、聽話地打直了雙腳。370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx1gA8ssqgO
370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnGyL9MLjZu
杜若的膝蓋上仍沾著一些汙血，那道傷口印在上頭就好像是件純白禮服上的爛泥一樣顯眼——但就算沾上了爛泥，氣質本身也不會輕易改變。370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcJwHXaqz54
370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3KFXtI18eI
雖然怎樣也稱不上是修長，但杜若的腿卻讓紫藤不禁想到了幼貓那短巧可愛的前腳，讓人忍不住想要伸手捏個一把。370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoGiEPwtysr
370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUpnvygxSdy
不對不對、現在可不是做那種事的時候。不要再想些不正經的事了。370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY2AULxVZHd
370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpPYB7rimov
「稍微……稍微彎起來一點。」370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSYiOr577Xp
370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPZT6smT6Oh
「這樣？」370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo9ZlSitwG8
370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfWjnh4Db1z
為了不讓自己再胡思亂想，紫藤支吾地說。一會才終於定下心來把貼布貼上了膝蓋的傷口。370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1D3WNNRB7W
370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhEgZzCcuod
「……嗯！這樣就可以了吧！」杜若點點頭，滿意地打量著自己手上腳上的貼布。370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfaKwBYsktt
370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgoTduHTqIy
於是紫藤收起醫療用品，起身將箱子放回原位。370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQC8MGPsDUb
370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdR6ZJGld8Z
「對了，剛才紫藤提到的事件……」370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGxuPXzG836
370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ57PjAXYCo1
就在要踏出房門的時候，杜若忽然想到了什麼似地開了口。370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtu3zJw137R
370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXs0wsHRvGf
「事件、是倒塌事件嗎？」370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxmAlrxrVtp
370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq5QRGzDeuW
「唔、嗯……」杜若好像沒聽清楚似地，只把頭點到了一半，便默默地垂下眼簾。370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHLvh6jdFqI
370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbMEYyF2Ul8
「怎麼了嗎？」看見杜若的模樣，令紫藤擔心地走了回去。370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5agK0WPhzN
370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsefUTiZSNa
但杜若沒有做出回應，只是像在思考般地沉默了一會後，才撓撓頭髮抬起了頭來。370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUTZu7M34JW
370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡayG9z4dfsj
「沒有……沒事的喔！」杜若再次露出一如往常的笑容：「再不睡覺的話明天又要遲到了！還是趕快把東西放回去，然後好好洗澡睡覺吧！」370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK5aLZjTyfS
370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡizY1qegZsl
紫藤雖然感到疑惑，卻還是沒有多問地走出了房間。370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl39ktKRkZY
370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD2e89k6hJo
回來後、在淋浴間前，兩人看著彼此身上的一塊塊包紮，忽然察覺到了什麼而尷尬地笑了。370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡquieTI1ojJ
370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFmVNSiSY6R
「我們……好像弄錯順序了耶。」370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGxxb6R0fto
370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfosbU9Czdt
「……只能用擦的了吧。」紫藤望向手上一大片的暗紅紗布，洩出了一聲嘆息。370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWRvvpW2woj
370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkgPx13LHG3
雖然天氣還很炎熱，用擦澡倒也不會著涼，但紫藤現在只有一隻手，想要擦去全身的溼黏感實在是難如登天。370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOa1eKvdF2Z
370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo6GV4JeXXI
杜若也察覺到紫藤有苦難言的模樣，於是悄悄地湊到了紫藤的一旁。370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOIvRPfO6Jh
370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlVa9eHW9iH
「紫藤需要我幫忙嗎？」370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPL3DTFeVlT
370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlZ9YdlKrjy
起先紫藤還沒聽懂杜若的意思，但看著杜若站到了自己和淋浴間之間，紫藤才瞬間紅了臉頰。370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz67DTSgQD1
370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj8ZXwk8waA
「我、我自己來就可以了……」370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8n9oUdesYf
370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnGVrqKZw9T
在外頭、紫藤光是露出手臂以外的皮膚都會感到有些憋扭了，更何況是和人坦誠相待，即使是杜若——不、正因為是杜若，紫藤才更在意這點。370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnfzEpAdXEo
370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡetMGMM3wAZ
終於，在簡單擦去一身的灰塵與汗濕後，兩人才可以好好地關上燈休息。370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡao2igEIWWB
370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJSpl8ziSJs
房間沉入一片黑暗。而在這片熟悉的黑暗當中，卻多了道不同的吐息。370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ055fvqaVoC
370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMwTFcw139O
明明昨天還沒有這麼明顯地感覺到杜若的存在，現在紫藤卻能夠清楚地感覺到對方的呼吸拂過臉頰。370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKOYOKpDhJc

因為說好了，所以剛才也讓杜若用了跟自己一樣的沐浴乳。和草草擦乾污痕的紫藤不同，剛沖過澡的杜若身上香得不可思議。那宛如水果混合了奶油的甜香挾帶著專屬於杜若的微暖體溫，光聞著就令紫藤的胸口發癢。370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfDnKZOtq0b
370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDnuVfB2BlZ
明明是一樣的東西，為什麼用在杜若的身上味道就是完全不同呢？370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsZIg7qDvnr

「……紫藤。」370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfleb8IcphI
370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE0Pqmx77Wp
「怎麼了？」370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ007WNWFxqW
370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnGQx1cscVu
就在紫藤兀自思考時，杜若用著像是隨時會消失在黑暗中的細小聲音、輕聲地喚了紫藤。而在紫藤回問後，杜若沒有馬上回答，只是輕揪住紫藤的衣領，向前挪動身子。370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ37x3xdxcsb
370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgYoBrq2CHe
「紫藤說、會一直在我身邊……我可以相信紫藤吧？」370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0lo4mFyNvL
370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ74hMmqBcYY
那是躲在櫃子裡頭時紫藤為了安撫恐慌的杜若，而下意識脫口而出的承諾。也許是四周的黑暗、讓杜若又想起了那時的感覺吧。370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEOcgGAZTit
370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡng9q3xCDQH
紫藤伸出手輕蓋在了杜若的後腦，卻沒有辦法就這麼點頭。370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7pzCA2jePr
370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW3fkQjcBbp
就連明天，紫藤都不知道自己是不是還能夠像現在躺在這張床上了。那又何況是更遙遠的以後呢？370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡErsqdRt2y5
370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx6yCPQEPiv
這世上難以實現的事情多如繁星，即使是伸手能夠觸及的光芒，也不乏混濁的惡火，而自己選擇的前路更是如此。370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEOkyRWh3O7
370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhML7MBWTXj
既然難以實現，那就不該給予承諾。面對再也單純不過的杜若，這樣的輕浮是種殘酷。370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzjB0mkpyCL
370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH6ccdJZfyA
可是要是因此就什麼也不能夠承諾、什麼也不能夠相信，不也是另一種殘酷嗎？370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOwGYTd8bjc
370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjZdsVWBU20
確實，紫藤不能夠保證前路的光明不是槍口的閃焰，也不能夠成為驅趕黑暗的陽光。370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEfCo1vogdS
370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡROpDE9Wsbp
不過紫藤現在就在這裡。370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtWOYokberC
370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcKaw3DZ7RK
無論腳下的是光明還是黑暗，只要紫藤還能夠伸出手，就不會讓杜若握起的手中僅有一撮虛幻。370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZw6MHtRD5k
370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyq8IRaFWhl
於是、紫藤探出指頭，用指腹輕貼上了杜若的臉頰。370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYjPw3G6qrC
370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPQWU5YEml5
「……我會試著做到的。」370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR4OFmgIAV7
370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzwhSvmF9JE
「什麼嘛……」聽見這不乾脆的回答，杜若便沒輒地笑了。370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBmYEWgHDuy
370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWWzYH6NzxN
「不過……我相信紫藤喔。」370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS3KU5K1Mj2
370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSZHPJGWIiF
不給紫藤辯解的餘地。說完，杜若就這麼微笑著闔上眼，沉沉地往夢鄉走去。370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBUNGe4TNeN
370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLPKvp3Ozq0
窗外打進的微光逐漸照亮紫藤的視野，杜若雪白的髮絲在輪廓的邊緣透著薄光，就宛如隨風飄逸的紗絹一樣。370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡttWaTbnXsx
370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG5caYqM4iS
從呼吸聲聽來，杜若大概是在睡著時就會蜷起身子的類型——就連這點也跟貓很像啊，紫藤不禁調侃地想。370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡITbbb33Mbo
370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ4IaQl0cyI
疼痛令紫藤沒辦法把杜若給攬進懷中，但紫藤卻仍湊近了身子，把那道溫熱的呼吸給小心地挨近胸口。370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI1VCn3coOE
370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1RxP0Uh7PJ
而杜若只是既像在回應、又像在撒嬌般地發出一聲夢囈，把身子更加地縮了進去。370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBg6LitqiFc
