迴響的隆隆聲如同夢境般遠去。338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6vTJp9Q7Gk
338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMWCSx2YPOH
從開出的小縫裡，一道狹窄的光切開了無邊無際的黑暗。338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzKG3WLuOtU
338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1wHeKIAMrj
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。338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRUvzvfJOEi
338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqUo09g60pI
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。338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHMDhJnCc0Z
338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvag88vhfPQ
連沙華會都靜謐下來，就代表連凌晨也快要結束了吧。338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdQQOe2vlBg
338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7saZKFotwO
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。338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY5pI29RuVl
338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0ZYdXMTrAN
「走吧。我們一起回去。」338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWO7pocKHMb
338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYxVglAfQ1Q
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。338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0Wnax3I7Cx
338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKFc6peKHUq
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。338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx0xlniXzMn
338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1iWQxkC1WE
為了處理傷口，杜若讓紫藤靠到了床板上頭。338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdJjqeFs2JQ
338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ91PkQDCejz
「嗚……！」338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJWpXiL5CB7
338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqJX8SkzXub
消毒藥水碰到傷口的劇痛，讓紫藤吃痛地叫出悶聲。338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXgoj4mBLjz
338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqAoh6YZdL7
「很痛嗎……？」杜若停下動作，擔憂地看向紫藤。338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtGIPY6qzju
338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8WzHLawsqO
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。338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9jggs28Vai
338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBpRDx981s6
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。338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhtTJR8VD31
338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCStb5FHiPs
「……我還可以忍。」說完，紫藤打直手臂。338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGHQ7kHtrsJ
338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEvbIXNxMuO
杜若點點頭，卻宛如做錯了事一般地垂下眼簾。338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdFaD4SRYaq
338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJJX2zhZedk
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。338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbWwJTceBwJ
338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAJZOiUFRt1
「那、再忍耐一下就好。」338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4Dfx9ujWWr
338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRoGbXsJO0n
「呼、呼……嗚——！」338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuJc0otXlkR
338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVGzPTV4SN7
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。338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCbXjtrLPKX
338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUd9elNjdKR
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。338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0ykIvmlNPu
338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtibnAjgDJN
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。338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ54mktZcIN7
338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0UjRdWrJib
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。338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEO5FB5IOLV
338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsqr34pMvZo
「還要喝嗎？」杜若捧著還有一半的水杯，輕柔地問。338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1EQoUVWGqv
338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8ZFffGQnLb
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。338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡra4jSbtp5T
338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ25QkP7OPvk
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。338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhnO9EaQb4Z
338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcPNQ5LFKZa
「……謝謝。」338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwlxtjjKcO6
338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxem1CQ6RJt
「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。338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcvSNCbCuX7
338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡudLQ9ZNVsS
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。338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlcnhi7aTE6
338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJCn4MMDKt5
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。338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUzXnvZ5xDd
338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJfbk8VoKtW
不過，這無疑都是事實。338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcFEE3sazeA
338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGXq15Jb04u
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。338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdUOQcEOfpu
338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8e6tNxz3UQ
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。338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAFE7xJNtsA
338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0aI2OBCcMH
「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。338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjKBlICrt9t
338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2TtXPsm3e1
沉默了半晌，紫藤才慢慢地開口。338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8zMCPNvNLB
338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqmbDYcGkvM
「是我媽媽的遺物。」338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe4JNDukcBI
338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡplo07YcwSs
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。338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8ozoYU8POI
338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXRoSD8z7dD
「咦……？那為什麼會在墨駒的手裡呀？」杜若不假思索地問道。338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyNnfoTV1zc
338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo5RcsL8xkD
「我也不知道。」紫藤搖搖頭，黯然地闔上雙眼。338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz6572mW23m
338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOSbcLkdllG
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。338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx2BexGjV3V
338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYAhfryc7G6
「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：338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡALrE4BXR1w
338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPxoc8a4nKu
「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。」338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡONEdFGt4Yz
338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ47MVFt8arA
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。338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9JgkahUtHF
338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSDwvToG8IJ
「這就是那時候、他們從媽媽的身上搶走的東西之一。」338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0yKRdXGJiB
338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEtpqMKBYiP
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。338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd2wzlNYgdf
338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ1uZnb4aJw
從那時起，濺在臉上的那朵紅花就已經在紫藤的心頭生根。338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9YEQpZtYeB
338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHEphf3rQ4P
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。338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNMESEuRqSQ
338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ5NAiiqjN9
「原來……這是對紫藤來說這麼重要的東西啊。」338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhkVE9ItL46
338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTXdNqbvk9B
「嗯。」紫藤在胸前連同戒指握緊了拳頭。338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9raF1Dg97q
338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBs5sch6kt8
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。338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG36PipPCTZ
338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjJdVQVdC7u
自己已經不想要再失去任何東西了。338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9yrUQs5P3D
338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt4HBhg43DM
「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。338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcIriyUPEmJ
338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvwpKz2V0Bw
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。338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQaBfDHepv9
338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7vMmOYXLVA
「媽媽他——」338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡasxPu2VY3m
338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzOYCSQ9WKF
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。338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAJqXQaXRTX
338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9AYnNf12Mz
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」。338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5rOM0GllbN
338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGxEljwrxUG
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。338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMPnRV767yW
338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3Eq1W7hgTq
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。338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC9rcBA35fQ
338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡphVVrU8PXI
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。338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLVuiWo9cKW
338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtmf0yHiGa4
但紫藤一點都不喜歡學校。338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpNa7J5pgSP
338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyajLqp3rhC
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。338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuPnHAXXeok
338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7UUahilP9O
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。338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ63HtAsP93R
338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUcQCUSokIL
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。338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVwWcOg7sZ3
338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXzrf51oVNR
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。338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ46T9FcwY54
338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5C4vpRDN1Y
嗯，這樣就夠了。那時的紫藤只有這麼單純的滿足。338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhstd5AnkOq
338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvbMBEuR6WN
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。338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY6pYEkUzlm
338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7F2St5QeH3
那是一起倒塌事件。338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjlPmtBk2dI
338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEmqvEf9wMR
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。338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpAIpuOZoCg
338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV8wzvCIY37
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。338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo8XnPheJE1
338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf5yeYfSorL
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。338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOjSNlP8MJc
338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhdGt8suiIe
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。338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIblU2jdLHV
338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1bg45x0a4S
「……我會找到給墨駒這個戒指的人。」338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0wbApRnpX3
338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt54080UUBk
收起回憶，紫藤再次握緊了戒指。338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV1cIroUOhu
338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmaqQo5oyjM
「然後，殺了他。」338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwj5a2i4VUG
338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrfT0IY28AO
紫藤的眼神猶如熾火，沒有一分一毫的搖曳。338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6Dr36THAZK
338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2ZYab5XjLF
但只不過幾秒，便很快地萎靡了下來。338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡczi5EC6M4B
338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSv9b6IYMNl
「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。」338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ23pkYFI3in
338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0J4aujSIbt
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。338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX79TvCgAGk
338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvNotxXFlZF
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。338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKuRSVBswZX
338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡePh6mdQQAl
「原來、這就是紫藤想要跟我一起行動的原因呀。」338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC7CgGkOas9
338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbhocNrygQ7
「……嗯。」338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNIM7SbHHtv
338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpsfBMORcTK
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。338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPgG1hegs13
338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4ClDnulUoq
紫藤深信，這就是自己向那些骯髒禽獸復仇的楔子。338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkxIjyNvoic
338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK0vrTuUCk0
這就是足以斬斷自己心頭那朵紅花的白刃。338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ683Tl1c0hm
338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYpP7nUqlhk
「……杜若妳呢？」338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhe5j7lcTtF
338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDiCAaiF1kA
紫藤拾起快要滿溢的情感，回望了杜若那如新月般的雙眸。338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWc3fN3gj7Y
338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxbTHT6JUAq
「又是為什麼……會開始當殺手？」338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9CuIkQhFVK
338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpTLoNVBWdh
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。338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡab87syDl52
338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8HexPEENei
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。338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC71qtQ7kIg
338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXY4iFbf3ai
「紫藤……不會生氣吧？」338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHvEI7t67BG
338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY1oGALhYs4
杜若果然還在意著那時自己的衝動。338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHyV8Dn1SWH
338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqYBO9FcK2l
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。338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGYjwst5X0O
338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCtaBGyFvcX
「不會。」紫藤堅定地說：「我保證。」338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1pyaGFyzdt
338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI9qNvjl0TG
等到紫藤緩緩收起手後，杜若才按著胸口，下定決心地開口。338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkZ4UYZs0cW
338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNWhfH0AO3i
「……我想要救陶壺叔。」338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNuItiIsQrj
338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqghh5ChiYr
杜若喃喃吐出的回答令紫藤感到十分意外。338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXfcv38yYZi
338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGZjqTB4STl
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？338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCG02tRgQ1C
338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMG0KumTrGP
就好像發現了紫藤的疑惑，杜若幽幽地繼續說道：338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH0aHrdhBQx
338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgesoYKzIUd
「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。」338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKgePGP3O3N
338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6F4sh9scZb
全身慢慢就會不能動的病？338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzGrxV8VfZU
338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvDYARoFsjj
這種病紫藤是頭一次聽見。338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr2TDgJ11RX
338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrQrZ3hPwEl
「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。」338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡakXNgHAGG3
338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjCerIBjlY4
「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。338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA6UNbK4Q9y
338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡabJzBlpulx
「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。」338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY7cKLlFcoV
338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWpL3j3SYv1
杜若的笑只看得見無力。338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2c7sUnZzBe
338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiZL2rw9maM
「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。」338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz52ZB8VZhX
338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsUdumLyfEW
到這裡，杜若便沒有繼續說下去了。338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCD48Gvz7mk
338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaz9IS5USU5
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。338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡggjPTV7wfZ
338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0fMpigzBTX
然而，紫藤卻忍不住想要質疑的念頭。338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw7nYIBqe25
338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡroCvVHgDTy
「那個狐狸、真的就這麼值得相信嗎？」338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwMqWJQP0TN
338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡimwRuvn1EK
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。338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡovwhbnK0hg
338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2MD1LpkPsP
「……狐狸一直都對我很好呀。」338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPTjI6JJYfL
338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzr93j9ODHT
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。338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcuDsoyeCib
338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1hl1ucwPcH
「所以，我還是相信狐狸。」338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ4zs2xE02Z
338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWGews0fVje
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。338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR6oWZws9os
338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTliORrWhId
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。338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡov9DfAfzqS
338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuFzaAn7GWr
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。338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzqT5mVvhYt
338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡucPlYGyMME
哪怕、就算那道光芒是朝自己射出的子彈也一樣。338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaviBn05SGu
338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxl6x9tysgm
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？338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ3MujxFVUJ

這怎麼可能。338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPKya4tcU3f
338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwO5yrkV99W
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。338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyMkOZzKrY2
338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWpkiCbKq2W
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。338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvxjhENvY5F
338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlLgMpioudw
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。338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJcq0kGEGS1
338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkGFfmJUpKO
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。338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi1Sj0uAlYY
338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxyfiuSN2mG
察覺到掌心的柔軟，杜若看著紫藤靦腆地一笑。338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi0GyoE3gMo
338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdou9HOTlyX
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338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡijAu2yUvMW
338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2afRrHD5Ir
「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。338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgOMyCddGC7
338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8gsIILQy7I
「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！」338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2B4mT5WesB
338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7qJnTEngV9
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。338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEw1HsulytO
338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTw6PHouWLV
「不過，果然還是不能夠靠沙華會的人呢。」338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6aZMzSljXo
338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ579Iy4Ued8
經過剛才被反擊的經驗，讓兩人都對這點有了更多的共識。338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGRvErKQGJh
338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ35OzsVeuro
說了句「話說回來」後，杜若就一轉話鋒、向紫藤問道：338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz03Uog2SJt
338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAOs09y3Q9Z
「紫藤想要殺掉的人又是誰呀？紫藤還記得嗎？」338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkUAeP75qjQ
338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX7OWQgaREx
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。338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpsFfHQpM7g
338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDOzcbt4tlU
「是一個……在脖子後面紋著白色線條的沙華會紋身的人。」338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7fJEHKVMtv
338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTjsXU4KT7v
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。338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIIRlUfNIce
338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡazOPVjVEzF
「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。」338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHggyjAyjU9
338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKKkeoO7LWy
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。338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaMxlboOoUb
338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpit1py3V9O
「這樣的話，我也來幫忙吧！」杜若自告奮勇地舉高手：338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyTBPcn5wxE
338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdAibiDCcNA
「兩個人一起找絕對比較快的！」338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5qxflMtCVo
338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKMsQOf9ISR
杜若的模樣、讓紫藤晚了一步才發現自己說錯了話。338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9rqiV19erW
338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkVsH4w4xhb
紫藤默默地低下頭、沉聲回答。338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgJSCKuzCjZ
338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaU11X7m7C7
「……不用那樣。我……我自己就夠了。」338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcQEGnNyCAJ
338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSR66mCxYQ0
這冷淡的回答讓杜若頓時像被潑了水的貓咪似地一愣。338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl0Iz8Y7dpB
338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDc9WLxeau5
「可是、紫藤不是說到現在都……」338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9SSDrX8QP8
338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQtvKwlt19g
「這本來就是我自己的事。」338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR1fMtiQ2fa
338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZUuGebdgOM
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。338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBrc48V9GVc
338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAXiXX2eNmN
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。338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQakeRHfIvU
338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzZewQUZmWC
「那要是紫藤遇到危險怎麼辦！」倏地，杜若站起身、提高音量338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYDKJxCNDbT
338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡelHwFEQH3x
「我就是為了保護自己，才會去學習要怎麼搏鬥。」338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7LDegtCvtg
338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBpoBgxBcEX
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。338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrJXjMIqE9l
338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOcuYjBximk
「可是、假如對方有槍、假如遇到像今天一樣的事……」338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ7eILB2ml3
338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv52eeOJuRh
「我是不會讓自己被殺死的。」338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3C8EvazMqk
338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtspwnxBKfC
「紫藤明明就傷成這樣、還說這種話……！」338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP4C7bLn8zB
338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE84OaUVy7M
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。338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYDfe2uGZDl
338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF2mPuRvoNi
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。338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvY4XNEYOWF
338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwWwvjOtLCJ
杜若雖然想甩開，但卻在一半就失去了力氣。338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSTurWkDMA6
338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDfY9M1VqdR
「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……」338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3kIR2XpcML
338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfFjgY4LC4m
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。338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBHoDiCTqpY
338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH8la8c6GbY
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？338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd5UQHOXvh1
338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK3yLOeeNNc
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。338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRrmRgSsREh
338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9CG845UEtN
最後，紫藤還是用了奸詐的說法。338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC29GHzxXq7
338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡreJonW2xRu
「我跟陶壺叔約定過，說不會讓妳受傷了。」338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhAWHLakiaF
338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVMWj5o6xE8
「那難道紫藤要我看著妳受傷嗎？」338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzQyUxqRIwC
338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡncY35TXnHC
雖然夾雜著鼻音、但這句話卻如此強而有力。338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBmDpag76dr
338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD6sfSqkx9b
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。338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnNAtelaqrJ
338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6WIsRLAATn
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。338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5Gnj18lUtP
338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB37mAwis2T
而紫藤打算再在杜若的身上再添一層相同的痛苦嗎？338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡivERqYsrPa
338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡadJIrql2WB
紫藤無法回答，只是沉默地別開了視線。338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKnWN3YtGAd
338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7wSPd2bzWB
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？338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0US4XB4f7e
338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT4doBX65FM
哪條路都是崎嶇，哪條路也都是痛苦。338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpf4Iw3qtkv
338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsnR5MBsNgF
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？338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyHsoG73KJw
338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHFqwnnl5MN
只因為就連接受也是痛苦吧。338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvCZc5HAVdG
338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSfxFNAeX9a
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？338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx0yx8DYjJa
338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHSdlLQY96n
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。338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡut8Bd7m94B
338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZVvEqR7z2m
思及至此，紫藤才慢慢地放鬆了手中的力道。338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy4Zi3rWgFA
338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT8vCeESrQz
「答應我、要先保護好妳自己。」338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsY0XYZyuAH
338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLDpxiCOMAN
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。338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPROj9olXKc
338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx3MJGuuDa3
「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。338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOoPDd8Gvc6
338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJPM7jahe8S
「所以，我的份就用來保護紫藤吧！」338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvFPAchgjdU
338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTGDPyRSfNv
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。338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkRuBMQXVov
338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHkzWjy5UIk
「喔喔！紫藤笑了耶！」338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTkOtLo0KfD
338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡklnYff8HKL
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。338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk5DJgyYO1j
338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡykOO3jHsK7
「哇啊啊——！對不起！」杜若立刻慌張地放下手來。338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr1wXuGq2zh
338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP7Qcu8JdYJ
疼痛雖然還沒散去，但紫藤還是發自內心地笑了。338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL9xJM1RE0X
338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0gWr5kjMG9
「……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？」338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡclSqZbbRXN
338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBKYRQXp01v
「咦？」這提議讓紫藤也感到意外地眨了眨眼。338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5KqlbM1SYB
338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡETEDjeNyL9
「雖然是我自己猜的……不過狐狸應該很擅長找人吧。」338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8OgYIwVj9Z
338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0x7kGYHzh8
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。338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcyfizcAIyl
338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8UXTdRKMfw
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。338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXleNOdDUty
338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq9es3KTm6X
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。338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUfdx9Q73eQ
338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCLaqCnay6e
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？338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡINXwAZcM05
338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo6cY6F8PbQ
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？338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA6yKKMaXkp
338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡojs3HbtFbF
「那……可以幫我跟狐狸說說看嗎？」338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDb4SP9nMp0
338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM5lSMpgejG
「當然呀，這是我提議的嘛～」杜若自信地抱起手臂、挺起胸膛。338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9LzGSS6VMl
338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkyN28YRPW1
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。338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdYCFL93XAK
338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2xq4D7knyv
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。338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG33WzZn0DK
338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡil1ZPWaqJs
「妳的傷……換我幫妳吧。」338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7O7S6kug4b
338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCX1lPrazbh
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。338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsZIu3dnBSQ
338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVp9YIcUYP5
「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。338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqcJaLUC6Pk
338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnnl7LkWuTa
「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。338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlNPNtxA5RO
338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYiy36yrdzD
「撕得開來嗎？」杜若看著紫藤有些僵硬的動作，有所顧慮地問。338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkDRC1IVHTi
338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiPvdsB0Jov
「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。338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWKIO4zGH3K
338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBWUsvmLnx5
「……好了。換膝蓋吧。」338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT7YsPCWAJC
338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl1ASiXnJDy
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。338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjFftZEKa7Y
338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzIDjVFyGvr
「我臉上有什麼嗎？」紫藤不解地偏過頭。338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPHUnJfh0le
338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGFVEnvfWVo
「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：338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡacBzWt3gwZ
338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWCK4oqkUOY
「只是覺得紫藤認真的模樣……果然好帥喔。」338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXuMvqpH6LG
338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZsgGiWojYa
突如其來的稱讚，令紫藤頓時耳根一熱。338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaOfWbYB5ER
338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmatOxRqSod
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？338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuZAbB3Lioj
338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdl1cucuvg0
「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：338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuX05MnGt3c
338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFPS42gD45k
「謝謝……」338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQgI26BIt22
338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2hO6yjgtFB
「嗯？」338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAaiCudMcvL
338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPI1w3hfnIs
「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……！」338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHfMK5LRqQt
338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ90mSHsDS2C
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。338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ30kNSwH4mI
338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhmiwubBr18
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。338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1j6Ufqbu57
338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6SnqFZmjfh
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。338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCWEmvKnFnW
338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYEwHzxjF1D
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。338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGrAZjf5MrH
338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdpSzxQR4xC
「稍微……稍微彎起來一點。」338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDlLoYFXZkI
338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrKXL1zotwm
「這樣？」338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeDxGQhPa6g
338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2YdCxyh3b3
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。338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0iYUGJx22U
338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡogUp20i9Ra
「……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。338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2vubFBgLf4
338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYhB44c2Itx
於是紫藤收起醫療用品，起身將箱子放回原位。338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡseCm083Q9p
338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3iGOkIAAiJ
「對了，剛才紫藤提到的事件……」338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjGsaAgcCby
338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBR97ge14Xk
就在要踏出房門的時候，杜若忽然想到了什麼似地開了口。338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTd5X7W7Ii4
338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHZN8FKRHvj
「事件、是倒塌事件嗎？」338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMf1e0RX609
338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWbvCDwPjrK
「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。338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB7zcJiamLT
338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmlHZCroi2k
「怎麼了嗎？」看見杜若的模樣，令紫藤擔心地走了回去。338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu5h8X1uwLg
338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPPEaVWKu6O
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。338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZXBHlYEc9C
338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlzhsYyYH4C
「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！」338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHg4N3iziKm
338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyViDvrP6s1
紫藤雖然感到疑惑，卻還是沒有多問地走出了房間。338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWbUIZrO1h3
338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvXpHsAVx82
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。338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe3bn4MRILt
338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdDMQdf71sA
「我們……好像弄錯順序了耶。」338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdLA8uvX5t0
338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDmEcX6qZTD
「……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。338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4in2TXL5bx
338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXb1FC2B8AO
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。338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2yDt2n1oJy
338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPjdSfenJwe
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。338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8K5fNEBpZj
338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2JRKoTWAi8
「紫藤需要我幫忙嗎？」338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4Ij4wL5XoT
338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ4MG6VufAg
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。338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6qXToXbmEa
338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLBm9d7UJ5T
「我、我自己來就可以了……」338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn8blRO4VIR
338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡASFW9AxUf3
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。338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvycmKKMdd6
338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3peIsRSQNY
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。338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ97iFUpCPf
338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVqNaCis3dd
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。338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQYKHpruFtC
338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRR1VX7PmP5
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。338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd2OyvYGd04
338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTWmyMtKmRH
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。338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFeB9rmzjTm

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？338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ00FpTRahMp
338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ25UaZ8P3ps
「……紫藤。」338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXdTCorQRWK
338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdnnq5HOvSA
「怎麼了？」338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR79lcyk9sf
338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeg3eK4KPqH
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。338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkTzNJG2PMc
338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq0yHCUSMjz
「紫藤說、會一直在我身邊……我可以相信紫藤吧？」338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrdO5QljbHC
338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF0iphLgB9Y
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。338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡONhYw8bwoZ
338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe3fCdTDbZs
紫藤伸出手輕蓋在了杜若的後腦，卻沒有辦法就這麼點頭。338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ2ZxVYTCOK
338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5SpHRIQ0zq
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？338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLfAaehaHgg
338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCCNK4nymaF
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。338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbtkGKqBqRF
338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhFZBNxje9k
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。338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0FzvJRu6fd
338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvaZIfEfN1Y
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？338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9pF1ObLys0
338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJd1uBkKR4B
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。338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1agZN0CSjX
338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCx6fQXbK0d
不過紫藤現在就在這裡。338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4tXLyaKnrw
338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqaMufOmYMD
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。338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoqz1Ld0WO5
338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzyaBOnHqov
於是、紫藤探出指頭，用指腹輕貼上了杜若的臉頰。338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGhtBsxx3i5
338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX87j7TnIxk
「……我會試著做到的。」338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc8yuKWGMSG
338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuQuxv0oi2T
「什麼嘛……」聽見這不乾脆的回答，杜若便沒輒地笑了。338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFwel5p08A0
338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2JVxbuTZhm
「不過……我相信紫藤喔。」338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4KMLY6drAD
338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrFHLJ7L0Sh
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。338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0TwnyKlFlZ
338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4C3Iue9CFS
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。338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFGER5QkaaL
338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7neu1hdgsX
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。338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyCOUkHU8en
338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE0F4k1CyTs
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。338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4VP67T2qdw
338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZRi42Ih8eS
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。338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4ZKtBANElx
