迴響的隆隆聲如同夢境般遠去。335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuX8sQRffXV
335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLmRH2cqNmN
從開出的小縫裡，一道狹窄的光切開了無邊無際的黑暗。335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ18xD7piSsL
335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡap4aouS8tl
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。335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡurpMb2aBVn
335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl6TmmIju2s
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。335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK1QoDjNUu7
335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwVs6N8t7WX
連沙華會都靜謐下來，就代表連凌晨也快要結束了吧。335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4vdyspucBn
335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHBPMXnxhPk
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。335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnpUXzHsKXg
335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIiWiQfA6m1
「走吧。我們一起回去。」335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjGTI65ru6L
335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3XcNS97Vr2
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。335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxegjcdmLlv
335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa2SuJ68XP6
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。335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxxHp8AvaC3
335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK6Qg09ScZ4
為了處理傷口，杜若讓紫藤靠到了床板上頭。335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLhQkqbxR5F
335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoYtDIn1LFM
「嗚……！」335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdnCK2dmd4A
335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHfFQyk39nU
消毒藥水碰到傷口的劇痛，讓紫藤吃痛地叫出悶聲。335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0kY66s94iN
335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhCg5WAxe2r
「很痛嗎……？」杜若停下動作，擔憂地看向紫藤。335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡge7OZQAgCJ
335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBWiyWlFsDC
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。335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3jBiLgkEuI
335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyVzUu3DpUe
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。335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMc92591HNe
335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4fUluwRmt7
「……我還可以忍。」說完，紫藤打直手臂。335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQtZ3uZR63c
335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ069sL3n7cY
杜若點點頭，卻宛如做錯了事一般地垂下眼簾。335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjWETJOZAfw
335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxIQy9Fb8lR
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。335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwIK8hvoW0H
335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTrtcdUSpnr
「那、再忍耐一下就好。」335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡokJMyn3WWR
335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjWuc1c6JPW
「呼、呼……嗚——！」335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi2VCB3pFGj
335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBpNLJHZaeN
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。335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0vwb4MamUC
335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqXnLdlVQ6a
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。335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1d0H8SphOV
335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5VFrhiAz1d
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。335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡizk7M2chyZ
335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoPWckn1Ur6
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。335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP0iBm1vRkw
335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnk9f3aBrrq
「還要喝嗎？」杜若捧著還有一半的水杯，輕柔地問。335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0YgzDyt8N8
335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7ho6IMlaVF
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。335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ3m7G3Rsad
335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfHh148STda
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。335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxXJ4oMlfjJ
335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwnzmfJQadB
「……謝謝。」335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyzZlPHYtMF
335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrHS7kziN8M
「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。335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE790Tb3TtG
335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡShN0qdiPBS
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。335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz2ypcmDoAQ
335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqdjic64Idp
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。335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhRvW0UPLw9
335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYvxFnIrqp7
不過，這無疑都是事實。335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrinGHzLwk8
335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn76M55njPB
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。335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1eZIYPqq54
335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZD2p8zxJhv
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。335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbARMownyH9
335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBn0JjQsM4E
「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。335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA8v2HSt7HZ
335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQL9P0awX2b
沉默了半晌，紫藤才慢慢地開口。335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE8kP8XDh6Y
335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9dZBOTFvCo
「是我媽媽的遺物。」335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHu5QP9cRs3
335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgBZnuvGW1q
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。335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcYsIDLthcs
335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7txmktlgq2
「咦……？那為什麼會在墨駒的手裡呀？」杜若不假思索地問道。335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡySxSIepPmb
335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWrOHLvegXN
「我也不知道。」紫藤搖搖頭，黯然地闔上雙眼。335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4BSahIW7Wa
335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZRoe4NiT9X
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。335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPLA0UJeNJR
335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKKvu8IWSQn
「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：335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkNAL3LUre5
335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpmT9lAJPNA
「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。」335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr8ERzeVMVQ
335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDllMniHjn1
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。335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy8NZR6xbqi
335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJejfPyhUFt
「這就是那時候、他們從媽媽的身上搶走的東西之一。」335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡawNY7PK3ld
335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTKYyTPrDZg
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。335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ44Irvoat4K
335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgHeLjmAZjm
從那時起，濺在臉上的那朵紅花就已經在紫藤的心頭生根。335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡczkK2R8WCv
335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9eNvqnVdre
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。335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAMchGGdPkn
335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSTbDpJ5WbV
「原來……這是對紫藤來說這麼重要的東西啊。」335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡERAX7AiCKY
335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFOXkrEmtXo
「嗯。」紫藤在胸前連同戒指握緊了拳頭。335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo8VL9AZFnj
335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPEfI9Zqvgn
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。335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAyQYpHgwMV
335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiOTfBYzTiS
自己已經不想要再失去任何東西了。335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJTceB5p2TW
335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZCPnp5siqv
「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。335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3cQkZeWEbM
335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡszlVC9esLJ
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。335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHRCMWpgSn4
335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz9UMnlH94i
「媽媽他——」335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlpxW17j7IA
335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSRWdWI5boP
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。335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0MIMJ0LezU
335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtSfmGOBzwh
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」。335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡduI5ZxP32P
335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaVnJawonH2
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。335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdZDSZSAtxg
335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG3agAk014S
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。335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJYmsKs9DV3
335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ0y4ViiGbd
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。335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsq38KC7vwE
335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo8LsmrKbSl
但紫藤一點都不喜歡學校。335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOqci5ze5QT
335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM5qKn3I7fq
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。335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHBwjtP9TXX
335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3nhKraQ3Oh
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。335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVR1mZ6V2Nx
335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeMwF9mrD2y
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。335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiAJ08t25JQ
335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQMHDaaL6C6
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。335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNbZAsv4HJS
335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjba4Vt21A4
嗯，這樣就夠了。那時的紫藤只有這麼單純的滿足。335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLu1V3PqwuV
335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaG5obOadeB
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。335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa4KzfFj3PY
335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzb9scbVOzo
那是一起倒塌事件。335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8VtGsWJAw2
335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqIS3cIbfwp
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。335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR5J31yjYa1
335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8FMUpKA8uu
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。335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYxXmSkLihC
335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpxbTnPEwLR
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。335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL2DIkbo3Wp
335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtrInra1roA
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。335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfBqmAEGUfs
335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxaBMEf0OA3
「……我會找到給墨駒這個戒指的人。」335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPngU2iKmyH
335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV9HRLMXtmq
收起回憶，紫藤再次握緊了戒指。335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmK0mxX13oK
335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwjdDiZUCQu
「然後，殺了他。」335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0gPm2s05gC
335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeT2NyPKeXQ
紫藤的眼神猶如熾火，沒有一分一毫的搖曳。335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJbZqdXYPD0
335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7NfQ1lxYui
但只不過幾秒，便很快地萎靡了下來。335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiQHHNT62Lz
335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoh7rOrKoty
「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。」335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2C9LCWX3Jn
335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlDg4WVeFzH
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。335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡduT5oE1wf3
335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVJQOXixJ96
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。335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf79SvuEoTh
335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ83Qje1tWUi
「原來、這就是紫藤想要跟我一起行動的原因呀。」335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpxMz7SPatw
335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbukTkJbA29
「……嗯。」335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡviCcQ7iBIm
335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpwmjMcuZUA
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。335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiosfDRTt1v
335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiSbtXShAjP
紫藤深信，這就是自己向那些骯髒禽獸復仇的楔子。335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfch6HN8xxD
335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcNcOuciHQc
這就是足以斬斷自己心頭那朵紅花的白刃。335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡntE4XuKqkM
335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnMKT7lkJ1I
「……杜若妳呢？」335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc22gTMKiCQ
335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj5QUdvf95O
紫藤拾起快要滿溢的情感，回望了杜若那如新月般的雙眸。335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzCPijg1bRS
335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiqpqEeImoI
「又是為什麼……會開始當殺手？」335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIj1CPcLMLu
335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSkxhzpg7sO
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。335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBDjwJkiFex
335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZvUFcdNHIO
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。335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN6jXf4crUz
335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpvtypLEMTA
「紫藤……不會生氣吧？」335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJueq1DKkk7
335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO6v7yI37yB
杜若果然還在意著那時自己的衝動。335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpzeolzn0Xo
335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkA5gUfoRkH
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。335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ65XSMWjCL3
335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6ZJ6gsJOFA
「不會。」紫藤堅定地說：「我保證。」335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUtcQGWiY2M
335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWeOUwZsHXs
等到紫藤緩緩收起手後，杜若才按著胸口，下定決心地開口。335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKpUiFJLJJI
335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYyCwuxhvY3
「……我想要救陶壺叔。」335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCqIDhMon32
335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4F0L76QWDM
杜若喃喃吐出的回答令紫藤感到十分意外。335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRFHzpYwgNa
335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1V1MQbxq3g
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？335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgEFdbeLSYk
335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHOIPjATv5M
就好像發現了紫藤的疑惑，杜若幽幽地繼續說道：335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCWyOabpN84
335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjkXRm77u5j
「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。」335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLcNs61ANli
335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMMiyNK0fSY
全身慢慢就會不能動的病？335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPBPJWN2TlC
335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxsinauXQUz
這種病紫藤是頭一次聽見。335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡstvvAzzcsR
335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeAEyt8cSJZ
「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。」335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgGsgCB89ok
335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1ngpJa1Bii
「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。335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFcFB743vxB
335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSp11Z3QH6e
「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。」335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7pmllwovbk
335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYSkRljLJKn
杜若的笑只看得見無力。335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh7R8k56CHL
335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeWEh2RgFJd
「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。」335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUx5CX1EUYl
335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAdRnhI8F2x
到這裡，杜若便沒有繼續說下去了。335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwPqUgfnrXh
335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnBZWlT6HBR
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。335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaX4XKWhxbP
335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpeQkU9wkAZ
然而，紫藤卻忍不住想要質疑的念頭。335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzj32D880Up
335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7sWvjWgume
「那個狐狸、真的就這麼值得相信嗎？」335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs1twep9Se8
335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNe39NS2Tj8
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。335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfI9uUPPA9Z
335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7da7FErW4q
「……狐狸一直都對我很好呀。」335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg8vyOp4yH7
335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRAnAqlWKIN
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。335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhSRjFKmP6Q
335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpqa10YLBUy
「所以，我還是相信狐狸。」335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzGf8biMYTS
335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxRtJ56xT1V
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。335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxmIv4naXUO
335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ81xgDWmTbC
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。335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdNPkymiDNX
335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp2DkRGeExJ
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。335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4tqnUhVtX7
335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgAaQLcYNOX
哪怕、就算那道光芒是朝自己射出的子彈也一樣。335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNcHrIQOeXS
335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBPJiu1iEG4
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？335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQmTf209Tvk

這怎麼可能。335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6gk0GpC4Kh
335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwh7Wd1PQwy
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。335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmJEZTNH1DM
335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrOIk3hkIVl
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。335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtB79rEOFSE
335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbFzcM86Fll
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。335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhbWnYhHEop
335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAfAVDRyfk4
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。335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2RwEbWIlWH
335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcFcuiCB9mu
察覺到掌心的柔軟，杜若看著紫藤靦腆地一笑。335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCJXq2wsPaf
335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMnDJhZMJpk
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335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmKC4G1umY1
335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk3qbGXB2CB
「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。335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcFzIJGcGsQ
335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcPAUM3AsZs
「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！」335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfzQCEa2B8O
335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1tKfe7Fpdl
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。335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbih2A66cPc
335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1Cb5xWOFYh
「不過，果然還是不能夠靠沙華會的人呢。」335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHVxwvzXwoZ
335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRIE9nXWcJa
經過剛才被反擊的經驗，讓兩人都對這點有了更多的共識。335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA2minGVoYD
335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4sg3jMfGDO
說了句「話說回來」後，杜若就一轉話鋒、向紫藤問道：335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGveUdJDcSb
335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUtzQ8kuYeC
「紫藤想要殺掉的人又是誰呀？紫藤還記得嗎？」335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9yqQj1doek
335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgmBEyzzmvm
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。335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfVtpQWNpUr
335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡURHYc4XUdq
「是一個……在脖子後面紋著白色線條的沙華會紋身的人。」335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡccbenTEmLB
335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsBicLoOYZj
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。335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ023dTwzwNa
335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMKRg5bSmO2
「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。」335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEcFtmc6muH
335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRVWJmF650W
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。335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3D7E6nxOZt
335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTaZV4vifgU
「這樣的話，我也來幫忙吧！」杜若自告奮勇地舉高手：335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhBYk9lHpfe
335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG59WixhAF1
「兩個人一起找絕對比較快的！」335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡddJYRzWpX7
335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsCygT9whRK
杜若的模樣、讓紫藤晚了一步才發現自己說錯了話。335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVa7ywySy9Q
335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVkjtCzhH1H
紫藤默默地低下頭、沉聲回答。335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡevPjQF4hZL
335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm3YRxp7v3p
「……不用那樣。我……我自己就夠了。」335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIr8jUKPgse
335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7XU6nv7AIB
這冷淡的回答讓杜若頓時像被潑了水的貓咪似地一愣。335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvDY7j4eZg3
335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaqZewCtzq7
「可是、紫藤不是說到現在都……」335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm1SEP1muZG
335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmlC7IafoEh
「這本來就是我自己的事。」335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡisfXfbc3Wf
335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjfmBOe6wc0
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。335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡndaxC8FWFc
335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9y7BdImy8N
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。335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuvISvFadsu
335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgXd3oH8nVQ
「那要是紫藤遇到危險怎麼辦！」倏地，杜若站起身、提高音量335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDOa67XipH0
335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxx7urK28dQ
「我就是為了保護自己，才會去學習要怎麼搏鬥。」335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUNzAgNHwAk
335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnf0NKfX0D7
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。335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvtrDZZkRPF
335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEoKjBmlaIz
「可是、假如對方有槍、假如遇到像今天一樣的事……」335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX7ADy6ThAS
335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyyU9HH4Aj4
「我是不會讓自己被殺死的。」335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWCAX2uLqWg
335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRa9u2R0V19
「紫藤明明就傷成這樣、還說這種話……！」335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbY9xVE4FPq
335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaSfctCCYRg
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。335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg2L6gfFwXX
335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOO4os9sYYA
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。335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNKfgGkNymY
335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR0AUi6TaCp
杜若雖然想甩開，但卻在一半就失去了力氣。335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMXStAWKWSK
335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6THmzIb9o7
「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……」335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxxlNk7BxMf
335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp8hgbWEzvE
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。335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1KuXSJcyGu
335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwfeFGfkNK3
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？335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT72KfqStMf
335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAqX2cBKDz6
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。335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBe2U6tm03B
335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfc2rz4MV3L
最後，紫藤還是用了奸詐的說法。335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVFTypo9gJz
335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt1F3RScm2s
「我跟陶壺叔約定過，說不會讓妳受傷了。」335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL3TE3VRStd
335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqdIkU7zdi3
「那難道紫藤要我看著妳受傷嗎？」335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnIeEQHsnJG
335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4A6GIpiKzd
雖然夾雜著鼻音、但這句話卻如此強而有力。335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb0UI2Eq2LB
335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6dWFl3mBzG
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。335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrINZ9fET7f
335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXhB6cinOEW
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。335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡREOGugJvY8
335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1RfFRWcQUj
而紫藤打算再在杜若的身上再添一層相同的痛苦嗎？335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhZax6fglAy
335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsTKHi7P8jn
紫藤無法回答，只是沉默地別開了視線。335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4nTDEkfGvz
335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyCTOEN4iUg
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？335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbosPdihIUJ
335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPmJdVbDurk
哪條路都是崎嶇，哪條路也都是痛苦。335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNg6zkd09OZ
335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPgk5dLGA3C
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？335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKIVEE59SOe
335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMGxet1Taru
只因為就連接受也是痛苦吧。335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuraDmE7FUx
335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf0fehh97GC
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？335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoJioEkvqxp
335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBlX4kC2gha
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。335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNsQG6NGtUm
335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoafNaZvSgE
思及至此，紫藤才慢慢地放鬆了手中的力道。335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwgOxcxcTp8
335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkndNTlqH21
「答應我、要先保護好妳自己。」335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTPNAdkaunu
335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkWiVdnkuVE
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。335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkMy6OTfKUi
335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxjzwf8uZBm
「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。335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcLYMspMcPM
335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7PaaFlduWZ
「所以，我的份就用來保護紫藤吧！」335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6q3pOhyYgA
335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2TlT6jMxQ3
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。335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9puaHAJ73e
335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ84MDxEoyKc
「喔喔！紫藤笑了耶！」335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaIH9qXGcly
335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB8uKNRfhCG
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。335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXv4Wr8yXvf
335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDzL1yOT2t2
「哇啊啊——！對不起！」杜若立刻慌張地放下手來。335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCdJwh7exmS
335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMMMtQFno77
疼痛雖然還沒散去，但紫藤還是發自內心地笑了。335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWJ3RkVfAE0
335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5DaIQD8jm8
「……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？」335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr9zRONBv63
335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2CyyBhZXNE
「咦？」這提議讓紫藤也感到意外地眨了眨眼。335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUbg5YwtYL5
335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3Z9lmHaD59
「雖然是我自己猜的……不過狐狸應該很擅長找人吧。」335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyt7XS2TzBc
335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe4xfp9pZZE
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。335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN1vOPLSsXU
335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmO6ZFbVy6L
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。335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ85qbNiURmX
335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhlkauYan6x
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。335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxSOjuY9Km8
335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBKx37Iuc5O
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？335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBr9FS5fVUM
335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMm6CekREiy
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？335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUdvFueNR0n
335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLqgCsPOn0l
「那……可以幫我跟狐狸說說看嗎？」335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBTesyFaLTT
335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaDCg3lyajs
「當然呀，這是我提議的嘛～」杜若自信地抱起手臂、挺起胸膛。335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcGH2xyOvhS
335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡACsdbboYdw
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。335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoqx7Cx1Th4
335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlPNZID1XlX
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。335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeZg6T8yonJ
335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCHZxld5vdh
「妳的傷……換我幫妳吧。」335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ298dMHEjPJ
335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNWY073dQ5T
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。335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRXpttGqPpg
335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLOwjDBtYcR
「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。335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7lRNtI588I
335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXxHd8ZFiG5
「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。335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCdZt1Qjy89
335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs5mbkkDsHW
「撕得開來嗎？」杜若看著紫藤有些僵硬的動作，有所顧慮地問。335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1F5iPmOCy0
335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZcgCwUaXTj
「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。335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq8PA3F5D9U
335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu1NI508IG2
「……好了。換膝蓋吧。」335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ53bEN00NGw
335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbvQhSjn2xm
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。335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzyGFIUWs1f
335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFjduNjcrY7
「我臉上有什麼嗎？」紫藤不解地偏過頭。335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIGrhU9cuwS
335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBHuPrbfIZX
「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：335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQdw9T9KZ2E
335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHnTcT5QLk6
「只是覺得紫藤認真的模樣……果然好帥喔。」335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl6si0mORoR
335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDjmYQLGsB1
突如其來的稱讚，令紫藤頓時耳根一熱。335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPtRGz3ZGZL
335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHSmGFa10Wn
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？335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8C9ZclD4oV
335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB2vQNRhEkF
「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：335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAjnizeLjQy
335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnzlPsM5bfI
「謝謝……」335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2iPXwWlMz2
335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIMwy3nSXPd
「嗯？」335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9SYxi3zR8m
335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡohpq1Ojprt
「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……！」335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf0y3zpNf7N
335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdh8Uz8u64O
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。335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXpD5nI8ESz
335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYuy71Sy0Bi
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。335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLYozAoG4SU
335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ96oKhrq0Nv
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。335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdZUQ04eGG1
335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwN9IGiD2ab
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。335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzlhihm9Dfp
335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz6OCxBovTP
「稍微……稍微彎起來一點。」335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwhFaJirUMt
335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEh2TjpMRDo
「這樣？」335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1IkdNZJteE
335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlkqFbSMfpv
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。335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡosrHewmvQj
335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy6mzD5KIrq
「……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。335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTcxvkEnSJy
335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNY88q3S3tv
於是紫藤收起醫療用品，起身將箱子放回原位。335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHd3N4VVgAC
335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx0xpFfTeBP
「對了，剛才紫藤提到的事件……」335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHB3YR350NS
335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡigLRaYKRtr
就在要踏出房門的時候，杜若忽然想到了什麼似地開了口。335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2RyNwBOZov
335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWXUZe93TS2
「事件、是倒塌事件嗎？」335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2qNRED4UGF
335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡollBH5Z321
「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。335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7Ib2ElisIw
335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡefie7FxrYP
「怎麼了嗎？」看見杜若的模樣，令紫藤擔心地走了回去。335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5paxc77ogI
335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdeOzCZvZXC
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。335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUiaUF0fdF4
335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡadRcvI6W5M
「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！」335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHYALfQ2ZKX
335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTj8wiicHOV
紫藤雖然感到疑惑，卻還是沒有多問地走出了房間。335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbp7S0WBxCj
335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDEbWAd9D48
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。335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZj1XzS7yTI
335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRr6bjJH17I
「我們……好像弄錯順序了耶。」335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvJF7mltQ0h
335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP9pXHXvUBF
「……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。335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJn1bMdG2g0
335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn7DQr5RzAc
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。335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNqJwX3i2d1
335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlpCg4GmKxL
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。335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9YT2cd1hiL
335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwJJBBIfPBb
「紫藤需要我幫忙嗎？」335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9o8iycID2C
335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV5Bg3zcX6u
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。335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOO42wkBa2D
335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2uUZ7WqMt8
「我、我自己來就可以了……」335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKUJF7qAk0T
335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3D7grWbzTa
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。335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4jSGEaGv3A
335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2eikE6ufOv
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。335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ9wFNJ8w6M
335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2hepQSMKXt
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。335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTTuYDlBOxr
335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQIfUF4zXhO
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。335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrfcxi8gE2U

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。335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbMTZIS7qxJ
335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGWAz5x52iF
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？335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeD7XSbksvk

「……紫藤。」335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeQ5bEppCee
335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqIeYrQdb1u
「怎麼了？」335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJxZabvJuH2
335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgJFFYJW8hM
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。335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMeewZytIO8
335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBU4Toxp8M3
「紫藤說、會一直在我身邊……我可以相信紫藤吧？」335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEPELL3aHvY
335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjnTNDhS39l
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。335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ017vz5yYw9
335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPi4cUbNUBp
紫藤伸出手輕蓋在了杜若的後腦，卻沒有辦法就這麼點頭。335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJOXY4EB530
335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm7CiDDgVuk
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？335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8lrJnXpVzx
335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8QPWdxSltG
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。335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL7iksspCNs
335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIYSGTkbmBo
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。335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3dlqmTrL38
335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8xc1I868NZ
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？335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3L5FIVRjw9
335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4LIoKe9eT8
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。335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn4qU1ycA0Z
335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD7Bma4YpCj
不過紫藤現在就在這裡。335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN9QMMA4Off
335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQEwdx5g8UI
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。335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsgu03HFHAG
335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLM4phUty7O
於是、紫藤探出指頭，用指腹輕貼上了杜若的臉頰。335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡonkkahJs1j
335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk9sua9Qa9d
「……我會試著做到的。」335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEV4a6fTaKO
335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7iZ2uP2hy5
「什麼嘛……」聽見這不乾脆的回答，杜若便沒輒地笑了。335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHsQAM0kLNF
335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBsiiUg4mnf
「不過……我相信紫藤喔。」335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz5C3DQeWdu
335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYpGga2NpUE
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。335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9JJXPGsNsG
335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPgINUdQfKm
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。335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡREReydj8IN
335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3cirOlVzff
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。335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXi89xOaxTF
335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiddmIyAHeI
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。335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzxr2wk2d2z
335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7hMlVIK8WU
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。335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡizG9qXMCqp
