迴響的隆隆聲如同夢境般遠去。408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN4UA0Kqqjn
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPMeJKeRgNG
從開出的小縫裡，一道狹窄的光切開了無邊無際的黑暗。408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ8BHIqJaHn
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA3cDL6oOgN
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。408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlzJ6ihwxFJ
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJa346CEXml
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。408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡonX5aERsX7
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI5Hp8wdYJC
連沙華會都靜謐下來，就代表連凌晨也快要結束了吧。408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8cokVwBJrh
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMbgrK6HgTs
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。408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ84WWmM8s5
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUxaT0XsgEB
「走吧。我們一起回去。」408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOHPEFOspnW
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvDz85YkL51
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。408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoZa5BETp1Y
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIDCH7H36Xu
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。408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ4Ks2Ukjni
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZXFT3tU8ua
為了處理傷口，杜若讓紫藤靠到了床板上頭。408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVltXRkWvfu
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa923w1YLN8
「嗚……！」408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjacfrsQsdw
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5A1cPKHA9t
消毒藥水碰到傷口的劇痛，讓紫藤吃痛地叫出悶聲。408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgNNAXU4OP8
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4pLRqcLeRs
「很痛嗎……？」杜若停下動作，擔憂地看向紫藤。408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ32ePTsngs5
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAKqZeugy7E
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。408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2RPDnenGzY
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0SCRmoQHPX
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。408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ74zNraDiVK
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSPmmQWeAAs
「……我還可以忍。」說完，紫藤打直手臂。408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkLHXINIX0N
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAJ5bWZPdov
杜若點點頭，卻宛如做錯了事一般地垂下眼簾。408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡycTZ1tUg3z
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyKvLGN6kLX
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。408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXWdfnDqy8f
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ31jEvItawN
「那、再忍耐一下就好。」408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZV1eqR3IBl
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7C5XZkRRJp
「呼、呼……嗚——！」408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrk1OrqxQpF
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAeZA86miMA
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。408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8PvDWabQcO
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDhqTMeyDgr
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。408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMle8SJUr5a
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjG2Ahpvyo2
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。408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMiLmSqvUuB
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtuzXHRC2SC
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。408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoUoBeEekjN
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb6mB3Pmemu
「還要喝嗎？」杜若捧著還有一半的水杯，輕柔地問。408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ23dFlNC2lR
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMssWB5Y0OW
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。408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOz8cuMMbPg
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJtxX25Cmz8
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。408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV7CoPjQCRt
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡepVLrlvjod
「……謝謝。」408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhTdcLX83xO
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbcTbvxu3qg
「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。408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwSMyFi7iSF
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRXU4MFHiIE
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。408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoXM0SGNp2J
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2PDAWJDGCm
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。408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ32iJizyHZa
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXTgawEqgvz
不過，這無疑都是事實。408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRotzIpKsuI
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjFgh9GGx6R
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。408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhHL72L2ct9
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOrwDXLLyRz
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。408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjVMMr191Yi
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1cCHWQwbrK
「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。408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJjlesQ52sS
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBLdNkPqkux
沉默了半晌，紫藤才慢慢地開口。408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTr9TuvBhLU
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa1NpfOd9Vc
「是我媽媽的遺物。」408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡougEUuqJL7
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8mYJCuILLB
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。408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlNS7KcGzdG
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbgRMJ9tBT6
「咦……？那為什麼會在墨駒的手裡呀？」杜若不假思索地問道。408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBzBemDOiKx
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡToMNj5zxt8
「我也不知道。」紫藤搖搖頭，黯然地闔上雙眼。408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUwahHrpFqr
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTSBFNp2V5H
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。408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh9gO0nyMqC
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSKNFnhZrfd
「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：408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRi9qACbc3m
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzDI0ODXcC8
「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。」408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2L4kdByLva
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhrie3mNFhf
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。408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlmF7G7469J
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyMxkFT7az0
「這就是那時候、他們從媽媽的身上搶走的東西之一。」408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡISQ2ahuWUp
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx6A9ojS4le
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。408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMlEijCbdpr
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYuDXEe3W4J
從那時起，濺在臉上的那朵紅花就已經在紫藤的心頭生根。408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4ZidnWxHMN
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQxCNTmXEOR
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。408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPIK6B8CO84
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKQlnZEFaLA
「原來……這是對紫藤來說這麼重要的東西啊。」408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaHI8KCl0bj
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN57yrpon4Q
「嗯。」紫藤在胸前連同戒指握緊了拳頭。408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXQ73QFBuIh
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwg4LVh047W
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。408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJamFWzLy06
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0G54Avci6X
自己已經不想要再失去任何東西了。408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVFe5T0P9lP
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNpDIx43BSQ
「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。408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU5RXN7MMPT
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzWIPUSmJrI
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。408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkyZknCSGcR
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWsFLZhX1j0
「媽媽他——」408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9ctso1fOdt
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBRrh1uEvet
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。408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuJLwEfjP5R
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb5zFOBpDVJ
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」。408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLWfnm6iACx
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQXVdiudm7s
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。408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9yuPZ77XRT
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJJGgGN2lEF
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。408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcUfsR3tTkF
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjlBoI6IC2e
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。408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjSxs0SG4OH
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqpKmqM4TPR
但紫藤一點都不喜歡學校。408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnuFRGJzlNl
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaVK15nVu2z
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。408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkchbtRL5wm
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9ufGiJBQF9
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。408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsH9tPqSWPr
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjkWtitoni3
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。408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVyreo6PdJi
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiO4M6cYkNm
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。408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYfHHR9vjkc
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAXvZ3S1ZdV
嗯，這樣就夠了。那時的紫藤只有這麼單純的滿足。408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKMmlgNeSiD
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaYfw2CoR2Q
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。408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwTq0PTr1LD
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7o6EgZm7PC
那是一起倒塌事件。408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3tqME0Prvl
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDNvD0VPaqn
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。408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8coJE9cWim
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzULwWpEQWf
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。408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJZ5eNiSsT2
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQCXFkJUNq6
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。408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHT2t5V8eGD
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSRqpStkV4A
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。408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfEUE9jfVza
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh33bsiUpsR
「……我會找到給墨駒這個戒指的人。」408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIY299y1gVR
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfd8wp9LKMT
收起回憶，紫藤再次握緊了戒指。408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYh5Acrfjzc
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSjltgUTneJ
「然後，殺了他。」408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKe3BU5gdgu
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL97rrwiooO
紫藤的眼神猶如熾火，沒有一分一毫的搖曳。408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZuLs0YcBYH
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjScQ4kUP9T
但只不過幾秒，便很快地萎靡了下來。408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfCQufr7Fzo
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK2Yw976CDx
「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。」408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgUsvo90fKN
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeI8DmDSpvh
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。408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeFoDh1iXiJ
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbizskMJ3Xd
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。408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRGffCDbCPx
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmKipEp2kfc
「原來、這就是紫藤想要跟我一起行動的原因呀。」408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX2DiKUWXYQ
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzCs1Ynv8QB
「……嗯。」408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWSKvW3Zdmd
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0G9tPlijGn
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。408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB88KJBUEiX
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuoWfbSFXHH
紫藤深信，這就是自己向那些骯髒禽獸復仇的楔子。408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDGuhH1mJqa
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7VhR21HbCJ
這就是足以斬斷自己心頭那朵紅花的白刃。408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnFBg8GcszZ
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡclcpIfjhzK
「……杜若妳呢？」408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxz3Zkemt1n
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRa46gExqKH
紫藤拾起快要滿溢的情感，回望了杜若那如新月般的雙眸。408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCRoS2r0E3e
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgn3vgO1czW
「又是為什麼……會開始當殺手？」408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsydUa6L8LM
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlPDTzASpj2
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。408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMS6jrtLs8N
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡllbRZ2kgni
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。408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs9ZKagI04V
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7zVWpiJqPE
「紫藤……不會生氣吧？」408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvjBFQOkF91
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2nhO3AFMZU
杜若果然還在意著那時自己的衝動。408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡroBa49Z6H1
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNYUJkg7Sz0
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。408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoYmMpv1SYb
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBy2JupPEmq
「不會。」紫藤堅定地說：「我保證。」408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvjbSVmugJ7
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYZAHRG0AxV
等到紫藤緩緩收起手後，杜若才按著胸口，下定決心地開口。408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcdadMMjooc
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpF3H7KvEWp
「……我想要救陶壺叔。」408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaGy0fbc6Z4
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWR2a4FgKEM
杜若喃喃吐出的回答令紫藤感到十分意外。408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7szGQqK6mx
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3WTqIqIFPJ
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？408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDI40EvmsbE
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoxiOKrdOLN
就好像發現了紫藤的疑惑，杜若幽幽地繼續說道：408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHpUKu7BcAG
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRzYKiDlyhq
「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。」408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0XPnKcUjTQ
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLmrZnekTkx
全身慢慢就會不能動的病？408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJVIcJElsa9
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX5IsUkCaf9
這種病紫藤是頭一次聽見。408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4NRrkvwFMW
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLaIkd5tbDg
「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。」408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFqpAXLObg0
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1BFkZahEaa
「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。408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd3EncBU1lJ
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlLSI64qclk
「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。」408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ5Wct26uFj
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWdpY9jkZvl
杜若的笑只看得見無力。408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs7zx3GTGc7
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3JFpTyYymY
「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。」408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVB0s9Io1Bd
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnTbI7GrlWi
到這裡，杜若便沒有繼續說下去了。408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnFtMfNoiYU
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqiTWUcLQLS
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。408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrmTmJ9jd0s
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpiSVgrTEvL
然而，紫藤卻忍不住想要質疑的念頭。408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC5azodHo6u
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwHHxuGmcg1
「那個狐狸、真的就這麼值得相信嗎？」408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoru3UM2tLl
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡplpr9jo6P5
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。408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB4tsjMcf0c
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU8WgJh8Gzv
「……狐狸一直都對我很好呀。」408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7U9hV3FoER
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGE4pH33yXc
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。408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDFjs7OPHzn
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdAkKyOW43L
「所以，我還是相信狐狸。」408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwPcGYPzSGB
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAX7EzFLSTu
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。408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeJErqtRQim
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7UAP8oYwaw
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。408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡztBzbH3aDn
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnxdX1noRlH
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。408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCEXs6gmCP6
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpa1G4wCBc8
哪怕、就算那道光芒是朝自己射出的子彈也一樣。408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYduK5rCnKQ
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjLJjJTeJJp
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？408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtRskc5RKDa
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuSqqK4bpyM
這怎麼可能。408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk84reiOy1I
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXCGhsm5dxs
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。408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz1jBHmUrPC
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjNiWh2Mv7S
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。408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF3LhPdfVb5
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSUXA0yw1Rf
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。408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBElk58HLYr
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0sqViOZgHi
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。408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW24NuGaRub
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo8oK2EKfac
察覺到掌心的柔軟，杜若看著紫藤靦腆地一笑。408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHuvxSG2AVX
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNdIgnXZmrk
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408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmaq7JPYKvB
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0NgSmIAsnn
「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。408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAmzCVC1Q3M
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ301v2Y7yTI
「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！」408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwhEtOqKZbN
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpDcJJNCqsa
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。408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPUxGVnOVRX
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRylbtw3bO1
「不過，果然還是不能夠靠沙華會的人呢。」408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqSiIXtwYTA
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ45m2hO2L6f
經過剛才被反擊的經驗，讓兩人都對這點有了更多的共識。408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNHxJpIu7Ni
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY2oGapcdFP
說了句「話說回來」後，杜若就一轉話鋒、向紫藤問道：408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBiKwOLby0W
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMkXZwv6m1L
「紫藤想要殺掉的人又是誰呀？紫藤還記得嗎？」408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSVtiaKlu64
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz4ChYJ9Ow0
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。408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQXBENkLkS1
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO3sZv8AQEg
「是一個……在脖子後面紋著白色線條的沙華會紋身的人。」408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6CqVBkUade
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ81pqV5ZXdj
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。408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6mO9jJqPOo
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt9KEQvDj9v
「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。」408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTfk8BILOA0
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBRQrC34xK7
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。408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjZIsOYNbjq
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFedMKlY7Ja
「這樣的話，我也來幫忙吧！」杜若自告奮勇地舉高手：408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKfSHEfyKoK
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCKwDqIbXW7
「兩個人一起找絕對比較快的！」408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvPMDbX1siy
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfGnpP63jRr
杜若的模樣、讓紫藤晚了一步才發現自己說錯了話。408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡymEuA9Yeh2
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGnXxEB7dGa
紫藤默默地低下頭、沉聲回答。408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfuKq0tLQ5M
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg6QCf1BTLg
「……不用那樣。我……我自己就夠了。」408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnhMPYdJ4iC
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYDjoN7OT8d
這冷淡的回答讓杜若頓時像被潑了水的貓咪似地一愣。408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe9gNsiMJr9
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMgEICzOAKI
「可是、紫藤不是說到現在都……」408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ19lT7huPJ7
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNb0gBnGJb3
「這本來就是我自己的事。」408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL1hOnOttpF
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8HBwYAA26G
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。408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa6Kpy6F5gO
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0CfkJLEahe
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。408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz8waZZ8lBT
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3gVUQupP4v
「那要是紫藤遇到危險怎麼辦！」倏地，杜若站起身、提高音量408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsOIwk2KBT4
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAvxbY6kF4l
「我就是為了保護自己，才會去學習要怎麼搏鬥。」408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw78diQmZKc
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRnpO3vxrvn
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。408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5fZqPST6Vi
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuMrrNnpFFG
「可是、假如對方有槍、假如遇到像今天一樣的事……」408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhkpLoddtza
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡceQM0VmU1v
「我是不會讓自己被殺死的。」408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGwmPq1AyLG
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxIdw7cfV9J
「紫藤明明就傷成這樣、還說這種話……！」408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTRpVf32FCD
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9XlSRawqev
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。408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqbwOK2hf78
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkLYffWTaE2
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。408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZpSuHAH5W8
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzv9AOZIRYL
杜若雖然想甩開，但卻在一半就失去了力氣。408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkP0HOLNWz6
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHD3MKYNjaO
「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……」408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrhoucnYICk
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU9uYi5aOnw
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。408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVAy8I4Dpgc
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEwOyF5kXrc
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？408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7r3QYpwErF
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyH6SVjhF56
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。408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqLWEfdE97J
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCaqA9PU3J6
最後，紫藤還是用了奸詐的說法。408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPjOoYOewiE
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwrXeugv33C
「我跟陶壺叔約定過，說不會讓妳受傷了。」408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHFyr7DvtN3
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡErM81kRUY4
「那難道紫藤要我看著妳受傷嗎？」408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyswyQEvQ0j
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl9X6xQw0pV
雖然夾雜著鼻音、但這句話卻如此強而有力。408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIwoXLjnyW4
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaSVBtWEsCy
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。408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoWOFHuszEA
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjAVZNiDAbc
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。408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6hxfnLzo9S
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0Kxjae7i2f
而紫藤打算再在杜若的身上再添一層相同的痛苦嗎？408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCPKpMIwsAs
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLjqlaHOkys
紫藤無法回答，只是沉默地別開了視線。408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpLRJ6vjv3W
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPYc7nYNq8A
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？408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL9NoVNXzVT
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7yMzH5jRld
哪條路都是崎嶇，哪條路也都是痛苦。408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm4wvFOwSFe
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDo1fOf38aT
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？408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa05qrsA1Qe
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1jEzDkI4ic
只因為就連接受也是痛苦吧。408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyEhdJKEJcY
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhHSrCBJVhq
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？408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyJHRybkYGY
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhdxLI76JnF
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。408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQFJSj1AQnD
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCUdvuaEVWD
思及至此，紫藤才慢慢地放鬆了手中的力道。408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJgDo22gPzg
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxLoVYrJyHV
「答應我、要先保護好妳自己。」408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAtaKw1hIdr
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZWhkckKKuM
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。408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhmivVm18Dx
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6OM3w3gpge
「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。408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhY82Llkwki
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvQnxP92Rhs
「所以，我的份就用來保護紫藤吧！」408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5cB1L86vSl
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzRx3vwlwCw
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。408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx1ZFPKlqHN
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfpsTjlseI7
「喔喔！紫藤笑了耶！」408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKQo5NNGUD8
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq5i6F9UbUH
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。408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1AD7hdUW4e
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqaEUHcs09z
「哇啊啊——！對不起！」杜若立刻慌張地放下手來。408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGs2tZtj1ZZ
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFP1rQyq2Qm
疼痛雖然還沒散去，但紫藤還是發自內心地笑了。408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoJgCTY3X27
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBaummYGxsm
「……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？」408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4U3FrPhEbs
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc2KWRJAgLy
「咦？」這提議讓紫藤也感到意外地眨了眨眼。408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW9RVEdIUNh
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2xF8vb9UdI
「雖然是我自己猜的……不過狐狸應該很擅長找人吧。」408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcJ7uR5U8tJ
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3eT28MXolh
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。408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqGkWLXE8uf
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ94R5m75hD0
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。408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ5cvzvZG5Y
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDONEawQNoG
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。408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4knRsfiHzH
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQnNuh4cdcn
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？408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmHe6zZmlan
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7tiq6Iiv4Z
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？408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX1Z2ZFsSMu
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡekjxNrVwjI
「那……可以幫我跟狐狸說說看嗎？」408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlRCtBi1DHe
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMKdRkbWJjd
「當然呀，這是我提議的嘛～」杜若自信地抱起手臂、挺起胸膛。408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMwbiYh5Cwr
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpXrrgeLzkF
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。408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl9TEd9a67u
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA5xooBO87y
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。408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG5uEVrYw0B
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRi7CQ5u9sY
「妳的傷……換我幫妳吧。」408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO6YQMi3stC
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvc3W8xHDDl
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。408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIQ0niHYLAL
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcP22Iu8L6v
「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。408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmoRzYy48WS
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2jxz4KTT6P
「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。408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOsTNqu3xJo
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡexakicSEAF
「撕得開來嗎？」杜若看著紫藤有些僵硬的動作，有所顧慮地問。408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4wKk1342Rq
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVXoCh2gbQn
「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。408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEEDLNzIdZV
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOBecpNnGj6
「……好了。換膝蓋吧。」408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOei0jJB259
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfON7xDaqyy
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。408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVbwLicKwCI
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo7HUqxtoOV
「我臉上有什麼嗎？」紫藤不解地偏過頭。408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwY2C6WnVEW
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkLqOjnvoxM
「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：408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFBH94pR9oj
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYMKFEj5vJ6
「只是覺得紫藤認真的模樣……果然好帥喔。」408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUJAKBHPwYa
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGXZPYy8D9c
突如其來的稱讚，令紫藤頓時耳根一熱。408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhBYzxShInA
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQA3CBm0n4F
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？408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgwTDtMK6Nr
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjjZKXVI2P6
「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：408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxlv32NG52s
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSkrCKmq5xc
「謝謝……」408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiTCwSKxnMP
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFuHCaEVAhF
「嗯？」408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYphFwEdy0b
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjD5XT9O1tP
「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……！」408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPL2EBZdIX3
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa6nJ2SghY9
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。408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtWhJZoiB8C
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8BzYUzXSCv
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。408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO1hutBQWei
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiatmoBvc3I
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。408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVVa5eUbCaH
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvAqmZU6JLW
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。408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNPMJ6Qsk5V
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNPb3Ep1WSz
「稍微……稍微彎起來一點。」408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5ZUVGja1Yh
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHfPMc5Gkg3
「這樣？」408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuBoMCSKpSC
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBKWy3eQ0TC
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。408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtCgrAiM0h3
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAAAGhwxugG
「……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。408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6RWRZyt7OB
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4HUc7yXsR2
於是紫藤收起醫療用品，起身將箱子放回原位。408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4mEG3fB0pJ
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8BNrFVBbqP
「對了，剛才紫藤提到的事件……」408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFR5xC1aoVV
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0UZwdcSqOx
就在要踏出房門的時候，杜若忽然想到了什麼似地開了口。408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ73qPSUpcm
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk2v5qXKdky
「事件、是倒塌事件嗎？」408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwHy36zGbas
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMWb7cZUdOh
「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。408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9PD2h2mrgA
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkMpa67SJnI
「怎麼了嗎？」看見杜若的模樣，令紫藤擔心地走了回去。408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU8K2WDRLUz
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJar5ZvE8bE
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。408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZDFjE1giw0
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSTgvffkoFF
「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！」408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdBkWu0EuFN
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYA4lJfjfd0
紫藤雖然感到疑惑，卻還是沒有多問地走出了房間。408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6sN2czJI8R
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT5r4QA0ZC0
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。408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIvmbNW28UW
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCkcSJoxT6h
「我們……好像弄錯順序了耶。」408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMtxYWPjOMu
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡidTQ0T94TW
「……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。408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7MWqfHSzfS
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXAgumvesWc
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。408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMNAKyFakRm
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ15Xh4SMS6P
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。408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzOPkfB72I2
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0R3NKv9VKG
「紫藤需要我幫忙嗎？」408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaftRX4RD5V
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDXtOa1CM0V
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。408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfiOTpU0GVF
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhCR8gmyP9V
「我、我自己來就可以了……」408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkd8i1IF7Cy
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt8MkbJKBhG
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。408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9DXbdtjPpn
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz7ty3WPzP6
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。408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD1bJLnSOWO
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiRn84yLj9d
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。408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0MeFpHpVyV
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6FB0Wtd367
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。408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU4CqBPYiYb
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7Y42im8SO2
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。408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSpvx58Pwbq

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？408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJuEmTIabC2
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnEZYPvErrh
「……紫藤。」408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAfsA6eW4Ul
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw4WTuT59up
「怎麼了？」408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWCgU3oVIFO
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC3KtXBYfve
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。408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6eiJwfogqZ
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡELBQFWXiRS
「紫藤說、會一直在我身邊……我可以相信紫藤吧？」408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY5gb69Bon9
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjvaKaBAg48
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。408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm0nVQ7RmMi
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEWtmGPby2q
紫藤伸出手輕蓋在了杜若的後腦，卻沒有辦法就這麼點頭。408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsGOiqSVWAr
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0zqaOE8iaI
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？408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiwoEKLj8Re
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYqJBCg2RHL
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。408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlATmoldWBA
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXKDEyIY64o
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。408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVPF6zK4BTo
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFloP6eK9ak
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？408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrqOAFjIwCK
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp7XLnLiuL1
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。408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7IjBlrfYIb
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyjWUqz5G58
不過紫藤現在就在這裡。408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDLjrOekbdL
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1HF6EJPcu8
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。408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuox8InEjjh
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoM0ffUrFGc
於是、紫藤探出指頭，用指腹輕貼上了杜若的臉頰。408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZVzecqM3gx
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs19Owgi0SV
「……我會試著做到的。」408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu8ckadoYfT
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzJSBGZWto7
「什麼嘛……」聽見這不乾脆的回答，杜若便沒輒地笑了。408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNAewaBsKoZ
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡySoVJPsvAp
「不過……我相信紫藤喔。」408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡogManeGttA
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0nTrIpHtX5
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。408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd2aoNjydpq
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGzoJrYqyJd
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。408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJFElEX1a0S
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCqkoUrX18k
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。408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTDCviQTrZr
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡztJpGEiAsS
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。408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf5VOKHvMBQ
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIyWsBXrrXf
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。408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkdvB9MbZvI
