迴響的隆隆聲如同夢境般遠去。460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQto3OyallB
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZuuIvQSLGO
從開出的小縫裡，一道狹窄的光切開了無邊無際的黑暗。460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo4IfhjCLbI
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6uu4VF15kQ
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。460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOaZgwl5gQE
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFmTFun9WFo
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。460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAA1Mp3K3iK
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSACnC9SetP
連沙華會都靜謐下來，就代表連凌晨也快要結束了吧。460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJs1aTP0pxs
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR1RgNZ9gom
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。460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUwVbDJcMe6
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaUDOUCQDQC
「走吧。我們一起回去。」460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOqpaRO6dxw
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU8SHMtNcca
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。460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6FzQxh6OtF
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYimuSoQ6qL
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。460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmLsGnkYXzk
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxszYdYnomN
為了處理傷口，杜若讓紫藤靠到了床板上頭。460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnfYe4WT4aa
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9enqD1tTPA
「嗚……！」460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnUgD4E7A4F
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrYEVZsLOIC
消毒藥水碰到傷口的劇痛，讓紫藤吃痛地叫出悶聲。460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy7FWweTtIf
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEU9xAsZQub
「很痛嗎……？」杜若停下動作，擔憂地看向紫藤。460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhmiE5UcAmF
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiwx43e4DLR
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。460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5gCWWrqRgA
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbeMp3rLB2K
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。460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEkm0CfTraM
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSYVAeCl3o4
「……我還可以忍。」說完，紫藤打直手臂。460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv4y2WTEACP
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmlr1mBCkif
杜若點點頭，卻宛如做錯了事一般地垂下眼簾。460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGCIpd58hvD
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3AdnnrlKW2
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。460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcgW5cYAZ9C
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsqmEJyJScb
「那、再忍耐一下就好。」460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5puGZffTpo
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKuxRw67cHp
「呼、呼……嗚——！」460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO2iUHKQguQ
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMzI6b8BiiZ
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。460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡinv5uptR6R
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN7k5GDP9zT
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。460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡapXj4nbyYU
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4PBhhzGmGs
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。460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP4vc9ubufF
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPCP9DzYnKF
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。460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxFx8H8jcZc
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7RcvRokXDF
「還要喝嗎？」杜若捧著還有一半的水杯，輕柔地問。460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTITOporJkO
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWkG9msVmQX
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。460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK8SrI6TbLv
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVSPuRcPnaI
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。460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxoxDGeEoYu
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7o6xAUCvXb
「……謝謝。」460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn6aNPYZnNF
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5auOrH2zCu
「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。460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLlrXDHnz0h
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYeTGPLUjnc
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。460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3y77fq0uex
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPo5cUd1pMb
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。460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb1bk26gzb2
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdjPLyHbfZt
不過，這無疑都是事實。460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpY2nZBpAiB
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhNypO96yS3
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。460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡztI9DJwFjl
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwO1qSJlHcL
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。460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaCGnNW4tO7
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxklFWCFnqp
「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。460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiyPpVzU8FE
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRHpku84Kah
沉默了半晌，紫藤才慢慢地開口。460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4fiSpPHOhq
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKIFKj23X1q
「是我媽媽的遺物。」460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡarv6UarC30
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsjHgyw4LI0
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。460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRliXVxLLR6
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡufsJFEeIuk
「咦……？那為什麼會在墨駒的手裡呀？」杜若不假思索地問道。460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBnltZU5nXV
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQs6M3X5I7i
「我也不知道。」紫藤搖搖頭，黯然地闔上雙眼。460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3P6YKXRl0m
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ07K8AuhBtI
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。460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCDorMWCFl5
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPy8FwWRsgR
「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：460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkblw8U7Bp0
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLd29NGRDY7
「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。」460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtk5W0FCDWQ
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2NILN1Mzc4
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。460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlhL5r9aPR1
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjTxahgVZGD
「這就是那時候、他們從媽媽的身上搶走的東西之一。」460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXyWEp7jsNc
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgkmRADH3Dx
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。460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjo5Pc2v8ma
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEZzNMjjvpI
從那時起，濺在臉上的那朵紅花就已經在紫藤的心頭生根。460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiFKQcREDw8
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPSTVDWvGfv
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。460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBMgO2LGLZ4
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBwtNhf0A5e
「原來……這是對紫藤來說這麼重要的東西啊。」460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1x63QdSwHp
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvfRCWMfeWO
「嗯。」紫藤在胸前連同戒指握緊了拳頭。460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBn9fzRDYKL
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIWK5MfPxDK
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。460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBmr1LoKSjW
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡetrLR54FeH
自己已經不想要再失去任何東西了。460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJlQ39rFRGp
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCNte9MNCfI
「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。460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyAecpiF60B
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW8EAYNELzD
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。460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO10GGYr8gS
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRPZ5q2E0Bn
「媽媽他——」460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCLQv8GWzK2
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ66TNh1ScXG
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。460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQhmLwUzjUT
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTKzrqZEcNS
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」。460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFeufWmUgxh
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡERSNRnQtIB
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。460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr0Ueykf8be
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXoZNGWienr
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。460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL5xggYkMAf
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwHzAc2oB6L
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。460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmKRrRIQk7d
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq6Af9EEB7E
但紫藤一點都不喜歡學校。460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6TVmVqMfuO
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1rNgGnLAPg
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。460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPYZ0jkuOGU
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAADjkjn0su
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。460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXRa86v8Gax
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq2QKX0YgVW
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。460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKt3jeNFaDm
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMGhP68LyTv
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。460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTVVzLFX8jn
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ053WfofYeL
嗯，這樣就夠了。那時的紫藤只有這麼單純的滿足。460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNkRZHVL9Nu
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSmG2mRpdsF
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。460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJHo6vc8FXO
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡknjO3pJy8j
那是一起倒塌事件。460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzLsIcdTthP
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeJeROniIqz
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。460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjRHdLcwOgY
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl4Qb1pmFss
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。460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVnXM0uwp5x
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ84zSYVdglN
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。460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfvT2plWueg
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9ptUYAJkpC
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。460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4TktAXDFDt
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP6lKf0owa7
「……我會找到給墨駒這個戒指的人。」460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6ScDXYie38
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ96xDpWevg8
收起回憶，紫藤再次握緊了戒指。460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmS7SbJDjEA
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡABVoTqDfof
「然後，殺了他。」460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHFBzpzxdxL
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaAWYq9Oqdv
紫藤的眼神猶如熾火，沒有一分一毫的搖曳。460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTe8bNv9lQj
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAwXzXneJSk
但只不過幾秒，便很快地萎靡了下來。460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0GbmaPHAoV
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8FTDbufqGI
「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。」460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiK7A1Ue44s
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbJ69922NP6
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。460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfTf7om5rv0
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ3F1HAuN70
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。460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa7GDKOHpma
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpBXNBk0g7r
「原來、這就是紫藤想要跟我一起行動的原因呀。」460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDiiwTRYfRI
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYgZyjPpg6W
「……嗯。」460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCiBhf42wXE
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB0qXA9P2cL
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。460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLzsp4n9s7T
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLTzKd0tVFF
紫藤深信，這就是自己向那些骯髒禽獸復仇的楔子。460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUJPweTZ1Yz
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY2aeeJY0NE
這就是足以斬斷自己心頭那朵紅花的白刃。460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK9NQQIOAIU
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiQYoNNqgVX
「……杜若妳呢？」460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGVMS7kQynb
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJT7fqCdHQM
紫藤拾起快要滿溢的情感，回望了杜若那如新月般的雙眸。460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7I53vkHBdh
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj1SyX19bq4
「又是為什麼……會開始當殺手？」460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5fBfdi6DI9
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4mhoDojVIB
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。460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMAvuAVUIkR
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlZBcINf5mH
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。460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxOZRj5l5nu
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpwoeIcW000
「紫藤……不會生氣吧？」460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9BMFU5pr6u
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6uY1l4Skcl
杜若果然還在意著那時自己的衝動。460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEhb0OgbHBu
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt1hSSTVND1
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。460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeqPwNuz6Su
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfdW3rb1wUz
「不會。」紫藤堅定地說：「我保證。」460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjUYE26dX17
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0usJEXt7DC
等到紫藤緩緩收起手後，杜若才按著胸口，下定決心地開口。460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf77Wu2trbh
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzxrlswCz5P
「……我想要救陶壺叔。」460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVSpbXLJDQj
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMG5D4dzDXC
杜若喃喃吐出的回答令紫藤感到十分意外。460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxkLvdvJxEo
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpbaPqjPgmX
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？460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8dcXyIAtsv
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0kKz9c17cG
就好像發現了紫藤的疑惑，杜若幽幽地繼續說道：460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaKZg5nAuXp
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ76PoDxJOlF
「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。」460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrpyQvjZr1X
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxMlFASSZuJ
全身慢慢就會不能動的病？460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBQhX3D67kw
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHuOHHLhFxH
這種病紫藤是頭一次聽見。460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyFoCHAVoi4
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYoNMrO9N9u
「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。」460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlKIaLdJGZT
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwMjoULKSNn
「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。460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡofOqbUemRu
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaHDKUB9dOc
「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。」460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRU8edND9N8
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6Nyax52TP6
杜若的笑只看得見無力。460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvDz4NTuVYt
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3fyqTgMXnN
「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。」460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5q0TlkPNZf
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFPxNhY8Doy
到這裡，杜若便沒有繼續說下去了。460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRQKdyjqitK
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡITJnaCl2Xz
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。460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBUAD8bhvBI
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ75SvHyrlJi
然而，紫藤卻忍不住想要質疑的念頭。460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeOjW6BROiI
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRcSBOdJdFT
「那個狐狸、真的就這麼值得相信嗎？」460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeWJFKnMPxQ
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKgpakB0Okq
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。460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZMozqOo9rO
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkFOim43uhP
「……狐狸一直都對我很好呀。」460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9k04hNBeGx
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1HpfDoS5y8
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。460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmURkgu2xxm
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoWogHCXozF
「所以，我還是相信狐狸。」460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡueF4bAwmjP
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgkZj2813eN
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。460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGRwqifoWX9
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ9zq9tk0HM
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。460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb7xAVvjVH4
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwkWyX3oQll
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。460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWz2p3TULpr
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvibmXsx9N3
哪怕、就算那道光芒是朝自己射出的子彈也一樣。460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuH9zBqIqz4
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr6BkrbIag6
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？460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrObkhuhCkx
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC0NE9vB4cf
這怎麼可能。460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjOQDdg5jcv
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGF7r842KVO
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。460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDSGOil59ia
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA8cbAY0aBU
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。460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6Ai4uAQF5J
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡniQu70yTXW
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。460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwcWNDOQKmu
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsiQOSjGqEl
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。460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB8Uh2daXv6
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV5ddShPBTW
察覺到掌心的柔軟，杜若看著紫藤靦腆地一笑。460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1htpDzMZcP
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBhNAZ5fpdf
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460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8XOTAnqdSz
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvHaGH75Sif
「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。460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ2QnhB16IE
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTsualDpCG8
「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！」460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK7OoS6rLoq
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCThCYREgDD
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。460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5NEhYSPjtx
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtqLgeXoVQY
「不過，果然還是不能夠靠沙華會的人呢。」460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGVbvu7baJD
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIc4KuQHIDj
經過剛才被反擊的經驗，讓兩人都對這點有了更多的共識。460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoqqeC8CdNv
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHxcEhtL3Z8
說了句「話說回來」後，杜若就一轉話鋒、向紫藤問道：460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfBC3vn2ply
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhBJG7h0GQe
「紫藤想要殺掉的人又是誰呀？紫藤還記得嗎？」460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn8xkO8GBQA
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcaZHSmeShi
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。460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2zoH7egvjP
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgE6ua6DgDd
「是一個……在脖子後面紋著白色線條的沙華會紋身的人。」460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7eUKa7cDwM
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPko8ESxvcb
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。460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdMplDyBNAU
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ62zwyJpJNv
「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。」460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPXmWKvHrfR
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxcb8eLC6N8
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。460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHgUd8OnbTx
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzpyQkkBDQa
「這樣的話，我也來幫忙吧！」杜若自告奮勇地舉高手：460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbIdILuPhcf
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ90CWwaKIHw
「兩個人一起找絕對比較快的！」460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWm1Or9w1t4
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv5TPnVZF9K
杜若的模樣、讓紫藤晚了一步才發現自己說錯了話。460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8J5NgcR9RP
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡloibQy0Kc3
紫藤默默地低下頭、沉聲回答。460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEiPSmPSI1f
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIAYzxAxiVM
「……不用那樣。我……我自己就夠了。」460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8iWuLg4oiX
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj5xHeCrqfR
這冷淡的回答讓杜若頓時像被潑了水的貓咪似地一愣。460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuuUXjKIB3C
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgJghDToqug
「可是、紫藤不是說到現在都……」460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOWlEGk1Trm
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg6Tf0GFZH4
「這本來就是我自己的事。」460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKOTVpDvmTQ
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ6MWP1eIL2
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。460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0bjztZLD4g
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIzhN6x26Hy
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。460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCAZOD27ryV
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6L8Vt1sUOS
「那要是紫藤遇到危險怎麼辦！」倏地，杜若站起身、提高音量460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdZ4sEF16q8
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeyc8sBmplN
「我就是為了保護自己，才會去學習要怎麼搏鬥。」460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtvyRUM1iwA
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQxWpQn27Sa
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。460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfUU71Q3wYD
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr1kZTUECqj
「可是、假如對方有槍、假如遇到像今天一樣的事……」460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡabzMvpcU15
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtgrkQt0gJE
「我是不會讓自己被殺死的。」460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVtp2iVb6zr
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMlugGpYUxM
「紫藤明明就傷成這樣、還說這種話……！」460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFULACQQ8Ns
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeEoyR6FFXc
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。460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdc75LaiLuw
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZQ3kHzcf5K
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。460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ13VDSQwQEP
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTnz6sk8GR8
杜若雖然想甩開，但卻在一半就失去了力氣。460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLQe6MB6UDJ
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5SFfFVRDTE
「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……」460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYPlRH5jHVN
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ94BYon6wBn
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。460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAZFZnPB3lX
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfyorIOWKuF
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？460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPlICT2JUS0
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEHl2FxTdgE
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。460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtnAu18rWnJ
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡof5k38O3N8
最後，紫藤還是用了奸詐的說法。460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfqlPsa0ieJ
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9mI5V6zLQn
「我跟陶壺叔約定過，說不會讓妳受傷了。」460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtXHqwitbvc
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDmRbsfJM7q
「那難道紫藤要我看著妳受傷嗎？」460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡapI2YoZHAz
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9elrb5ddHo
雖然夾雜著鼻音、但這句話卻如此強而有力。460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ44U3cWSsNF
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXLyymbVyra
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。460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkv8K2iFvpw
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn2aJSp5ueT
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。460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA74pYPVePw
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6eOIWpqH8h
而紫藤打算再在杜若的身上再添一層相同的痛苦嗎？460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0v3fvyzBk2
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0o1UtVx7Tx
紫藤無法回答，只是沉默地別開了視線。460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPsLplpWmP2
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkegZozXrhp
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？460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ7xBWo1S8E
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy7qxEiyVU7
哪條路都是崎嶇，哪條路也都是痛苦。460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5yXKjbhSdK
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFaT6fJyhSS
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？460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWlaFVHcXEB
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9BakOkooh1
只因為就連接受也是痛苦吧。460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRmlLrPUsl7
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr7isAnKhJT
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？460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW3izhYLykU
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEiHfHWhJcX
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。460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5JIAhWSMgp
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDEekfNz06J
思及至此，紫藤才慢慢地放鬆了手中的力道。460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKp4OWSgIOx
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1UdXOLQId0
「答應我、要先保護好妳自己。」460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5hXlViEEQU
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2rkOIfvcvY
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。460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ6eEOfrHNa
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNWXClIzUST
「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。460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtqBJRzN6Hi
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7KKgxS6YV5
「所以，我的份就用來保護紫藤吧！」460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVNdJrDpath
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtKxzevHyVc
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。460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJzHr2mIbdA
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO7ewkKERtO
「喔喔！紫藤笑了耶！」460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3o6gHjLDC7
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡILmViiZlgD
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。460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQw2n8ExEky
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8qSIK8RvkL
「哇啊啊——！對不起！」杜若立刻慌張地放下手來。460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZUToa07M4b
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEypU8GI5uW
疼痛雖然還沒散去，但紫藤還是發自內心地笑了。460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY9rosmRZol
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7CgubdayGd
「……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？」460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmvtaJVE6mQ
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvVNsGC3dqw
「咦？」這提議讓紫藤也感到意外地眨了眨眼。460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxLy8lhFEB9
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc2oepxq0IL
「雖然是我自己猜的……不過狐狸應該很擅長找人吧。」460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLSy0995atO
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPWS44sLSod
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。460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr9AO1bibNB
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa83gEYem4W
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。460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdzQxzrWBZu
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvB7lKuSnR0
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。460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu3Hi1PRgYC
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTIkfbLcE50
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？460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgXl5K0s8oj
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxTcpfXC21d
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？460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsJob3sFqoc
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0yYzt3zHlj
「那……可以幫我跟狐狸說說看嗎？」460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm7hztE3Yz0
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡReP5qY9BmG
「當然呀，這是我提議的嘛～」杜若自信地抱起手臂、挺起胸膛。460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVSEqpFvVn0
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtTXpykoiQY
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。460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHwh92jnNDG
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvthmiqBvaA
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。460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡegGSF1nLSZ
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQL1rxKIlYj
「妳的傷……換我幫妳吧。」460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTEftAU7Fbw
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQTEkyURjjP
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。460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTmE88EHjVk
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcWPJ7pKZWL
「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。460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrCN7NBsdgM
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZCQL6O0KZj
「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。460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsaTpDG5dB5
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ78AikJchwl
「撕得開來嗎？」杜若看著紫藤有些僵硬的動作，有所顧慮地問。460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0zSJyAsVtJ
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDWbvnWCfZi
「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。460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKclzXsV0CC
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwkwsnvjmpZ
「……好了。換膝蓋吧。」460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBJatb3KiYH
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgahDW2uTFA
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。460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrcZNxRELjA
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdnQJ8H3McR
「我臉上有什麼嗎？」紫藤不解地偏過頭。460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡswHFqFb69n
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP2Fm0m7FjS
「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：460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvE1uknOIk5
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqdxJGcgOTu
「只是覺得紫藤認真的模樣……果然好帥喔。」460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7impB4TOyH
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVoz9ljLqZm
突如其來的稱讚，令紫藤頓時耳根一熱。460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPbbSUyMOQO
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI2gsUvEKAW
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？460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOWWc60ZGXX
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsfzTYdYcLc
「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：460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpzZi358TDm
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYkEX1UXztF
「謝謝……」460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ23nRlvS90Y
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz4a8AMdu7n
「嗯？」460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuTBWH52h7O
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuSq1S222yW
「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……！」460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqrDvni52uD
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ5547vo0Er
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。460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8huHWXZS3R
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzuR2odfrsy
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。460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjd8xamaU37
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwZgCH2gEPZ
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。460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIvIFMRAFEa
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY6y9flhVkJ
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。460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMGFbFn0hS8
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnseUcRNmDT
「稍微……稍微彎起來一點。」460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgbsBA9KSvx
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3KrFegT4tE
「這樣？」460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzxO4b2uyxc
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoSNAtfbHiE
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。460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsjvLX93Bqo
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiUkcMRFtNr
「……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。460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeNGTbRMegW
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH39qFniXJm
於是紫藤收起醫療用品，起身將箱子放回原位。460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡct5wEtq3yh
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHgr5oldNis
「對了，剛才紫藤提到的事件……」460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ31JmYabWi9
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡanWqa0wK2h
就在要踏出房門的時候，杜若忽然想到了什麼似地開了口。460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8l2UL1Kddt
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEDVJWYnOCR
「事件、是倒塌事件嗎？」460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy83nNfpYvE
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd65LTwURPl
「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。460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbb0HSBU25X
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsTPo2efukU
「怎麼了嗎？」看見杜若的模樣，令紫藤擔心地走了回去。460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsioNxoN7Du
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEVMOicjvd3
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。460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFoLUdjTley
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6bGpQPJYkw
「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！」460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5k7KtsuoRo
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNLfnzmtwxE
紫藤雖然感到疑惑，卻還是沒有多問地走出了房間。460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnSnBplb3yJ
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfIZRMmKDm7
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。460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcjjWBHStny
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ2zs75RrL2
「我們……好像弄錯順序了耶。」460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa83yUGtNpb
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ34brtRB1VY
「……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。460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡugyAj9pmbD
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLEsysuzYzh
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。460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAcuimU2OUR
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjwqBOt5hQu
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。460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡynvi6QIS4g
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuTe5eBldN8
「紫藤需要我幫忙嗎？」460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMmfdtfl5ue
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkoQHY8v68c
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。460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCZqGee2UgD
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnMeGrgwpaZ
「我、我自己來就可以了……」460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡONVne2EEPH
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUdI94OziDO
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。460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡShtP494kec
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAEZhDHF72l
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。460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7x9h8PpFmy
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8D0qFwVxKc
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。460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9TavqFhdB1
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡja9Pko4qqw
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。460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaebJic1qTj

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。460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAGGvKgIZ8x
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhuyIiw9zDQ
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？460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlkJAwFUxte

「……紫藤。」460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwQ8HsVA1PE
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzu3UHUcSB9
「怎麼了？」460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡApRFKfqgz0
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡei0nzDC81o
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。460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfBtZcJztt9
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ88Jz33uJxF
「紫藤說、會一直在我身邊……我可以相信紫藤吧？」460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE1vamjfPXY
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBvycl1fYjX
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。460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtpB5aQSUjo
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBuf3adERfw
紫藤伸出手輕蓋在了杜若的後腦，卻沒有辦法就這麼點頭。460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwqUNQv9Plp
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9a8J2q4pDn
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？460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5gaaN5paAC
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmSH9R0uCMP
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。460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuXyMmRIAcb
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkuXX3kXYFM
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。460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkWuNZOZ7sl
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhVvBlZoOfO
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？460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEUenWXNECI
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7bfdJ2fTg0
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。460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡinfSyFUx6M
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWgcHKEbyVP
不過紫藤現在就在這裡。460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTUj5bgc3pH
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYh79syehFU
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。460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfUWduZsa7E
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT0qrnImSBz
於是、紫藤探出指頭，用指腹輕貼上了杜若的臉頰。460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV9T2zBOR9X
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVNXow1Vbks
「……我會試著做到的。」460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOwRTCudJeu
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjjtJ48dFLo
「什麼嘛……」聽見這不乾脆的回答，杜若便沒輒地笑了。460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡow6MVwY9cj
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk2ZxwvVHAw
「不過……我相信紫藤喔。」460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNn00Am6kgJ
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnZ7ORZQLvI
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。460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx4TwtnKhbx
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCFTEpO5NTn
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。460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsHETEuPpfi
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPvpwFLYE5z
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。460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuPH5AtcIdU
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa2tpGR8vu3
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。460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSXApm2F1zU
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSUAVlgOlrJ
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。460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXSBUV5hDGa
