迴響的隆隆聲如同夢境般遠去。407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJC0ymf4INF
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg2tWUSqeek
從開出的小縫裡，一道狹窄的光切開了無邊無際的黑暗。407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZC3DOXh15B
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQsfa6AZXRl
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。407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnrV808J2o2
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZWfgdf8LD0
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。407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy2QzUp6CHy
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAmQcuRV9i1
連沙華會都靜謐下來，就代表連凌晨也快要結束了吧。407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJyNPFt2yff
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzB5LPhRA0C
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。407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2O2yYOmJnx
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMRdqXBDqFb
「走吧。我們一起回去。」407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXXjfoe1v8B
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡATQAcjt66z
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。407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWUQjdc4ssX
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj09zin1kK3
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。407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtMUMhyVhCH
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGKvZAqw0Za
為了處理傷口，杜若讓紫藤靠到了床板上頭。407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSTLqmMyj2D
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnIGEMwzP0p
「嗚……！」407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrFKQqMyy2i
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvN6tNObSVE
消毒藥水碰到傷口的劇痛，讓紫藤吃痛地叫出悶聲。407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡps1PjRXY0V
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyl99XvOp1l
「很痛嗎……？」杜若停下動作，擔憂地看向紫藤。407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ8B9DX8qpW
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF7Wxel7LTH
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。407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡga073IZBgL
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ84daE63gLf
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。407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbCRirtA5FK
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7yVMHLaoC7
「……我還可以忍。」說完，紫藤打直手臂。407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk11r16WBkh
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡioW93RMIOd
杜若點點頭，卻宛如做錯了事一般地垂下眼簾。407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXN4IKl5n9S
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLJELdLpgzP
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。407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkiZE2T7sht
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzutgAXEUcf
「那、再忍耐一下就好。」407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrb5tGPRkrS
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo8L4ZeAKyD
「呼、呼……嗚——！」407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDPgd2px7q7
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaDbaDOwCbX
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。407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYvI2kE4rol
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhh6LBld4Zh
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。407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5THh99iQVg
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFZ9uSskxsf
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。407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFFcj0Ixix9
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV1TuwVHo02
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。407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOp28l1Q4xE
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsF5KGqdPB8
「還要喝嗎？」杜若捧著還有一半的水杯，輕柔地問。407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFh5u89qJJ1
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡECCT9iUqyL
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。407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ57RifOqKzn
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1ZHox8ZFQU
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。407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkEzgwxgtuf
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPgv20vrr6B
「……謝謝。」407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq5qX2opz2P
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt1hvE4yCjU
「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。407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVdSz6kAJeY
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEr2OzI5yJq
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。407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKT7Nxa4xI5
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTbE8EMe7lo
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。407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv8T4jbSmxb
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmHw03U865m
不過，這無疑都是事實。407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaxgLxv2CLr
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkak2PAjgBT
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。407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyJZczPa4zy
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhLLLGJYR1U
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。407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEORzbfoFyn
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB8hrZbeyiS
「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。407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAKmwNIj30A
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2gwHDzFDQS
沉默了半晌，紫藤才慢慢地開口。407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsfT4657Mda
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡabUVACBgnc
「是我媽媽的遺物。」407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr4zFPJoWg2
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbAwhKvKndw
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。407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWxWdF5rQYf
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8osiZDj5Cc
「咦……？那為什麼會在墨駒的手裡呀？」杜若不假思索地問道。407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0yPktjt4LZ
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡODogeq6OB8
「我也不知道。」紫藤搖搖頭，黯然地闔上雙眼。407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpOsd3Pqy2r
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3wTD4Svca7
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。407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMVl76X1DLY
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFKXEeR5g1J
「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：407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhPrWoCyhiy
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2gUKJa9J8O
「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。」407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2Gz2rwjtBe
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvfowO84HgI
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。407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3ahADlbgd5
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpK32ciGsqq
「這就是那時候、他們從媽媽的身上搶走的東西之一。」407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWBqcoTxvJx
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgCEgKodUkv
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。407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCFwZkLPtBN
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTf11BKV6lC
從那時起，濺在臉上的那朵紅花就已經在紫藤的心頭生根。407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTLvwpVAjUS
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLLG3RNxxFm
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。407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNtPufWnd8C
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHmdwHYbbyF
「原來……這是對紫藤來說這麼重要的東西啊。」407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMBOTHzBTRm
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ35Kvx2QR0E
「嗯。」紫藤在胸前連同戒指握緊了拳頭。407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwVg6D7VXxt
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCPNUIH2N45
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。407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvAmAKd2R1M
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL9lAfkcC6a
自己已經不想要再失去任何東西了。407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN8VX52uMA1
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡifwcVDwp58
「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。407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK83mGQ2jLo
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYAf9iAa0UC
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。407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDj0ix4znwu
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW2WLXoRZhB
「媽媽他——」407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt8uc2bg0IT
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5JXzNRiNgS
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。407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4ARVyCgNNc
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1qgDLRJCiI
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」。407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIEua2j6eQt
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7yObAW0MKo
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。407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLboAsoYcwd
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡauJUnU4Ldu
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。407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUTBQ4tE33v
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfdhqI00I2q
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。407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡamgVhVkt9i
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡREwCCJSMk1
但紫藤一點都不喜歡學校。407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNYCXWx05xm
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIXNbW8Eriz
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。407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuKYnYQB3fE
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRrvhjJoxie
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。407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQLE0zbUmpy
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1D5MC1e2qk
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。407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9XkzqEQ73O
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR0JTEhZ9mk
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。407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmRAdPlNIzH
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE0MCkTY4RI
嗯，這樣就夠了。那時的紫藤只有這麼單純的滿足。407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHwj9zN1TMy
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDurwmpeeOL
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。407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjEVoGp3Grb
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ6ZT62h7qF
那是一起倒塌事件。407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm6tggIx3Qh
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ7I369Ulj1
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。407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeJPPSL1Hxk
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmQMxvYr0Kp
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。407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgfetp5TJyd
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXFHTdAyKeQ
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。407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwdqo46QHMM
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ35UQSaPrcI
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。407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWF2Ez96jm5
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFO7hFr8Iqn
「……我會找到給墨駒這個戒指的人。」407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡndBglbPdQb
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH3AdxVyAlX
收起回憶，紫藤再次握緊了戒指。407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ32qkJmNtf0
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrAF2k8mS3S
「然後，殺了他。」407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2UM9Ynm4H1
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlwFJMk2XEE
紫藤的眼神猶如熾火，沒有一分一毫的搖曳。407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPRpTYavvV0
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeo9yypzilW
但只不過幾秒，便很快地萎靡了下來。407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoxJ6DWvO0X
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ1UUHDixXI
「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。」407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5lv197vUsi
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDO0oI75NqO
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。407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIi9KS5LdrR
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhGqLAsJknd
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。407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMIgruxBE6I
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxNQt7uz2Xq
「原來、這就是紫藤想要跟我一起行動的原因呀。」407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmDZV2gg26S
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9tz09DqElq
「……嗯。」407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtdtijebAr4
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhbUdpihdmO
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。407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOpaNFq6y3i
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaq8qQw7hNh
紫藤深信，這就是自己向那些骯髒禽獸復仇的楔子。407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZTetTCFQVo
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEshpzyjLza
這就是足以斬斷自己心頭那朵紅花的白刃。407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtXAnDcnhSO
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzxK5pupOt6
「……杜若妳呢？」407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHJok6Y4G7I
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpbTsUYT4Um
紫藤拾起快要滿溢的情感，回望了杜若那如新月般的雙眸。407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDj4PPsLSs1
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDhvbknZfs6
「又是為什麼……會開始當殺手？」407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbdY2mIMKxt
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4mOlQHcBYg
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。407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHLOaSpPMwp
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdVIpOp58KU
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。407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWUMthvqUAK
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzr3o5Mf2Gq
「紫藤……不會生氣吧？」407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb1gSkyNrIT
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG3XJ0hBxNh
杜若果然還在意著那時自己的衝動。407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjTGKa5N0Zj
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPCNTBXVKW1
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。407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvOkrRjeYth
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYahBqGJrO8
「不會。」紫藤堅定地說：「我保證。」407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYUBrULnsiY
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT6gE4VNEvO
等到紫藤緩緩收起手後，杜若才按著胸口，下定決心地開口。407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBsNhM5wD7J
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXPvewV3Ywv
「……我想要救陶壺叔。」407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt1vqxNJHBU
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTCbNLX7Ckq
杜若喃喃吐出的回答令紫藤感到十分意外。407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaTWdVYbUHH
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9wWzaJAk3q
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？407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPrqteCQOgu
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuqgXflPIEQ
就好像發現了紫藤的疑惑，杜若幽幽地繼續說道：407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡktqKYoULE2
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMSCHmiGROw
「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。」407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk2cc7Za795
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGCWbQi7frI
全身慢慢就會不能動的病？407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSTxq1PEm0s
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1e8BfHE7ct
這種病紫藤是頭一次聽見。407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZwdf0DD54i
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡurGaDC7jrQ
「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。」407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbCbHQZe0Te
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlAOhDY61Lj
「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。407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMo2LzwFoMY
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgXQ5qJPk6b
「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。」407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5BQb7e72z7
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGkeB7WjevE
杜若的笑只看得見無力。407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ25iaEIWue6
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHaXz9iRzll
「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。」407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQLWNWBsUOB
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGCb05J1Imk
到這裡，杜若便沒有繼續說下去了。407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnjFNY6JU1E
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIOfFZciyJs
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。407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTtJGDDxZGw
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9pbKkTFxGG
然而，紫藤卻忍不住想要質疑的念頭。407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAGmg9YVgaC
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡScuRaeV8Q1
「那個狐狸、真的就這麼值得相信嗎？」407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLvYbeGzQoW
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI73TBLtOmW
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。407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3lfXgItxhy
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIlPR7WRAfz
「……狐狸一直都對我很好呀。」407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHGnkAPi03e
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZLvZEOpG38
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。407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrdzTW6361w
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvoakkPH95L
「所以，我還是相信狐狸。」407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkwvDGqqEm1
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAEK6fMs83q
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。407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo5xX0BfnM3
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDyQ9jtvFW2
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。407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDsPx4Y8UVk
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaDtYMg7dG9
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。407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd95Nwt5ToG
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeQTmApPC8v
哪怕、就算那道光芒是朝自己射出的子彈也一樣。407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH4ItZ8sgom
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMEAUaaskIn
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？407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHmOOWxfJES

這怎麼可能。407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWZMq68691t
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn4Xkd6hv8j
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。407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCLajQMOaI0
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPIt7xgAeYk
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。407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFzKImVX4Ox
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvIHIvqUfLM
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。407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlGmUWfmYlP
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzYe5stHl5O
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。407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGEX0VFxkNR
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsfTYQKkUV0
察覺到掌心的柔軟，杜若看著紫藤靦腆地一笑。407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS6e70anW7O
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEeifM6MFu9
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407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIVAd7WEKMq
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡetIT5eD39p
「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。407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWZTV1JtPNv
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBZV5lXgefq
「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！」407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPxu5taLVQW
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoV1F70aw6S
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。407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuiN5rto8X7
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQoHZObobVg
「不過，果然還是不能夠靠沙華會的人呢。」407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzJdSXXYPCy
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRJa0YMoqTP
經過剛才被反擊的經驗，讓兩人都對這點有了更多的共識。407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1mpMd5sEPU
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWH6t0LTUod
說了句「話說回來」後，杜若就一轉話鋒、向紫藤問道：407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXJGGpVueHH
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcSsN7smoxA
「紫藤想要殺掉的人又是誰呀？紫藤還記得嗎？」407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpiW7XqtGp9
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM9ikRH4LwW
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。407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡam9qULs5Pu
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg8iNXSJob3
「是一個……在脖子後面紋著白色線條的沙華會紋身的人。」407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHIGijYDK3X
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxCl7im1VCi
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。407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV8jpux9oss
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRrcwnHZhFT
「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。」407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqy3HFiq1C3
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5mpGP3DC0l
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。407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ01MzOOtxIv
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXLrkgBZVBu
「這樣的話，我也來幫忙吧！」杜若自告奮勇地舉高手：407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXbhOSkIVr2
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8splB3WqDF
「兩個人一起找絕對比較快的！」407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡydaTIhW9UC
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1zkJaROybN
杜若的模樣、讓紫藤晚了一步才發現自己說錯了話。407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJpS8asoV1k
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMUk0V9NPED
紫藤默默地低下頭、沉聲回答。407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSpBH3f62IK
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmvVs9ocJDW
「……不用那樣。我……我自己就夠了。」407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1w7sl27d0L
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNBQnZmYuXc
這冷淡的回答讓杜若頓時像被潑了水的貓咪似地一愣。407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJQqQNidMmO
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpdT08HWFOj
「可是、紫藤不是說到現在都……」407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZWJTe7HJal
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0Yu3ANuKoR
「這本來就是我自己的事。」407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSoKXo97bfY
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4JY3Pto5dx
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。407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE82LoqMyEs
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxPC4mVHVdM
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。407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyQ0Xtadx2L
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlTGElG5ECD
「那要是紫藤遇到危險怎麼辦！」倏地，杜若站起身、提高音量407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa3UXoydi5Q
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfotsDcKtu7
「我就是為了保護自己，才會去學習要怎麼搏鬥。」407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUtWTCDU16G
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUmM2l5ih36
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。407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZhpx1vVHWg
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡygtQSj77ih
「可是、假如對方有槍、假如遇到像今天一樣的事……」407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8ZOPzo2doE
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQFmGxPKWAs
「我是不會讓自己被殺死的。」407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOluhIMEiSB
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiQgQmTIiH7
「紫藤明明就傷成這樣、還說這種話……！」407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzQPhMuCPwn
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW9lJtS5B6x
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。407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUZQXGFjlud
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtIHcbvmuqO
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。407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGEWMmRmHMv
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtLZNYtsyH0
杜若雖然想甩開，但卻在一半就失去了力氣。407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXWL392xSZ3
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5TzdHMzcUn
「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……」407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP4HR7NBERr
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjCUOPsiyk6
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。407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6R9RyRXWTK
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOFCbevlsim
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？407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgg15f4DmP7
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDtno0Y1z4L
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。407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5U54MgSltI
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx8GCSCB6yS
最後，紫藤還是用了奸詐的說法。407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2y4wCz1cBk
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxi2P7ByApg
「我跟陶壺叔約定過，說不會讓妳受傷了。」407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEove5OkUZi
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxPYEgXmDcr
「那難道紫藤要我看著妳受傷嗎？」407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvOqYS0GPbP
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ3ciB26xvQ
雖然夾雜著鼻音、但這句話卻如此強而有力。407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCZI0dft45R
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzSkJjEa7Yo
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。407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡke52leBQ8v
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVw1Jarigb2
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。407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI5WkzTzk4v
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLvKoCP0ODp
而紫藤打算再在杜若的身上再添一層相同的痛苦嗎？407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbH2Ych2Fm4
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSjMMJQO1jf
紫藤無法回答，只是沉默地別開了視線。407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXsJG1uvRiZ
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiFAbjjOKpy
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？407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyMHkqmsoXe
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSdskli2RpJ
哪條路都是崎嶇，哪條路也都是痛苦。407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM7RBRmLM1h
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL5AdqWXPWW
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？407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYidlylmD44
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcn2aRjbAdg
只因為就連接受也是痛苦吧。407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFOXknkZ7Un
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnZjT1d3oIg
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？407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6Y1X457UxM
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡukKChmznnI
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。407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoCfh09WNGn
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI3WPfmsSZG
思及至此，紫藤才慢慢地放鬆了手中的力道。407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7zbD7LLE7a
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvBkNMTbOja
「答應我、要先保護好妳自己。」407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtvbZsUYc4Y
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4pPAalmBaC
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。407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5i8E5ThJsj
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH6Sga85DeH
「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。407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyOo2dZl6yX
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxXkXSSofNt
「所以，我的份就用來保護紫藤吧！」407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMYHGB9ipj6
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhWfYNr5DgD
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。407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdt8UcZyGg5
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfsYSxHQwT1
「喔喔！紫藤笑了耶！」407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIWpBpdQNgp
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxf5QKtV4jG
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。407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKQeqW2oBGw
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5iRqcWAaAX
「哇啊啊——！對不起！」杜若立刻慌張地放下手來。407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc0GswqE3dJ
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoovD6ZUgAg
疼痛雖然還沒散去，但紫藤還是發自內心地笑了。407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeQOIhdplTq
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvK2taBdw2i
「……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？」407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKYzvQfQDHU
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡguVoYIsmlT
「咦？」這提議讓紫藤也感到意外地眨了眨眼。407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvGYIho8eC7
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAgoXYTlh7v
「雖然是我自己猜的……不過狐狸應該很擅長找人吧。」407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbewbYwwx61
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrSP9iGcaVP
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。407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQzN9jVj4oh
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9CmLydORL7
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。407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiwrcghc208
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ23d1KX3746
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。407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0ZKQNAqHia
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeR3Fv3QEeF
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？407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5XJiBKpqac
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ6wRlzDGvG
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？407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJA6HdWbwW6
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX0j36oSfDQ
「那……可以幫我跟狐狸說說看嗎？」407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJGkwA2F0Bs
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOeDYdZmrWo
「當然呀，這是我提議的嘛～」杜若自信地抱起手臂、挺起胸膛。407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuBy7Aftcr1
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLiwYoQ7uo4
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。407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhZr2eMJIoN
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtPvw1TDNjy
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。407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡakwa5G5lvu
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK7I8e20RPS
「妳的傷……換我幫妳吧。」407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhkthKE3HIF
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ1gSJyhYMR
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。407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYhCpLuCafQ
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRnrU0rILWd
「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。407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwoS2qx5X4D
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ8wulJ4DSc
「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。407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXiknLLho79
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡabJu0l2Xif
「撕得開來嗎？」杜若看著紫藤有些僵硬的動作，有所顧慮地問。407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBgUzTM8mXH
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJHIKEMbyVT
「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。407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7rQyqG4LS6
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5rHmappY4P
「……好了。換膝蓋吧。」407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFVDvhk8GT9
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2hZDqF8w17
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。407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm8AOuwd2k7
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡblREwHC62h
「我臉上有什麼嗎？」紫藤不解地偏過頭。407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtTsQc5ee2S
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrD0W6nCnwO
「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：407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHSIrPjNKOt
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC00s1zPvsJ
「只是覺得紫藤認真的模樣……果然好帥喔。」407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNhbKuloo5q
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiBuvSGjlZv
突如其來的稱讚，令紫藤頓時耳根一熱。407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsgto0qMpij
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh1lFKFScM3
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？407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLLTlzjOKEA
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXZx4f4wAxT
「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：407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo8EdNPttMw
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4QjnPpIzQ0
「謝謝……」407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI9y7Uq928D
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ72xyjl0htk
「嗯？」407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZOI3VOZKry
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnzjdzr9jBY
「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……！」407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp1SfW3d1RV
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF6jv8ntOLw
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。407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg95imRc7p4
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWx9vcXmsVc
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。407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa0Ysy4Cg6x
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwuCBdsoM5B
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。407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbs68UFih5C
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ109u7yI9h8
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。407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqD3lKCYmDP
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHD1cxJ9sWT
「稍微……稍微彎起來一點。」407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9B8Nmqx74d
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa7YI6Z52oQ
「這樣？」407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9zu6AIIYaD
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRaQWroexdH
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。407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMmMGw9GEoT
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMqPEH5TT7i
「……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。407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3ymITPRFOn
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVTA4Q2o2FT
於是紫藤收起醫療用品，起身將箱子放回原位。407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS5UhiFbJaJ
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPlqJmB385D
「對了，剛才紫藤提到的事件……」407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFnDnDH1xS3
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2A1owo8oYA
就在要踏出房門的時候，杜若忽然想到了什麼似地開了口。407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe9anDT8VJF
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2OkmjYNDrs
「事件、是倒塌事件嗎？」407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTBPU4ZyeIS
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8WKK4kEwKW
「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。407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRqapQ04sST
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG9LYb2S3Cr
「怎麼了嗎？」看見杜若的模樣，令紫藤擔心地走了回去。407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOHAUQj9Vf7
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4LcbtOTmOk
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。407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPja7GFEwxp
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3LwP1YeYvG
「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！」407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBxavz0s0gB
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRONenl2pDK
紫藤雖然感到疑惑，卻還是沒有多問地走出了房間。407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8U6l7T0Gm2
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS5jf8re7vu
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。407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkniEcd5bg0
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3Fsg2OQ8UB
「我們……好像弄錯順序了耶。」407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvNWU8L4tqD
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7Etx86G4d4
「……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。407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB3V3MhsQvs
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbgwE8xxyDL
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。407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjYV1cLXfFN
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSyLY6RoX7U
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。407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4XiyEsJoYc
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPsRXZphFmR
「紫藤需要我幫忙嗎？」407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7DVDBS7mOd
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkrFNU9CUDJ
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。407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxz0g6yLAeP
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVFGAmEBcMi
「我、我自己來就可以了……」407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT0Hgj3kQcW
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbCZq8NDe6b
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。407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1UszXrk3Rp
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu78SMRjv0h
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。407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGGXq01unHg
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYLNp3WrXz6
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。407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc2Ht2aWENY
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxfblKguJZT
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。407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuap7wuS4Z2

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。407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWW3E869S9G
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgbBRu1Eq9Q
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？407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQOEzP2xUH5
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5PYD9pd8UM
「……紫藤。」407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvdXhmiiJte
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4jhzZ3LGly
「怎麼了？」407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3bES9bZOIN
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1o0EOi9AwJ
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。407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsheKvCtJFU
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeFGozJaF11
「紫藤說、會一直在我身邊……我可以相信紫藤吧？」407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPIFMBe93g5
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJu0KvJ5nrr
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。407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXiQK5b4MnP
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk2CnSX07AQ
紫藤伸出手輕蓋在了杜若的後腦，卻沒有辦法就這麼點頭。407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoQHWw4hIiT
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJgdDXQ8XLH
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？407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFDiso6fue7
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMd3bfL8KUZ
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。407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE89Wd7VUgl
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGnbNIqJuUQ
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。407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa79Tdr6Wco
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡchRq7RC2M4
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？407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZgs5ciScnW
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmtMiFQOL6n
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。407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAlyYZNz7cQ
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1qqwnK725O
不過紫藤現在就在這裡。407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeYA3my7SYw
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMbL6dssUuT
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。407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY8msdC2jEq
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhGtMwLOFEj
於是、紫藤探出指頭，用指腹輕貼上了杜若的臉頰。407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡthCJ8Mdh78
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1zDAisk8ru
「……我會試著做到的。」407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8d0FWdqB0X
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡueh5uWYOuq
「什麼嘛……」聽見這不乾脆的回答，杜若便沒輒地笑了。407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv2BW4kmUef
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcqKx8zBEci
「不過……我相信紫藤喔。」407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCtbiZs6zq7
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT60uO5Di2I
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。407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6dFjpOKWY8
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWsBCa7b3io
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。407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRMd6u5w6YB
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0yscHigrFt
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。407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6xo79gOARG
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpRKVExYBgv
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。407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcUl08v1hai
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFyheWDAeMk
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。407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRnK82he7sd
