迴響的隆隆聲如同夢境般遠去。375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtFbpvx2VCS
375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIabqW4Si7r
從開出的小縫裡，一道狹窄的光切開了無邊無際的黑暗。375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQJQlouiuLr
375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIhCkNAmcec
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。375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCYXYMdQM4M
375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSQDKjjaCrn
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。375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdLMDW911fp
375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3Zg805Qq9g
連沙華會都靜謐下來，就代表連凌晨也快要結束了吧。375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8IDAal70aW
375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHoG8AHo8I7
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。375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFKhi35GzFM
375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcJGb3kHxZc
「走吧。我們一起回去。」375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdsaKEYG15Q
375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4JQgNWaUOV
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。375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRy19nRARnG
375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ261dQKtNoD
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。375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnaKRvT9Ige
375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa0TVV7fkJW
為了處理傷口，杜若讓紫藤靠到了床板上頭。375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6db0xhQWfV
375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqdlJiuVTO3
「嗚……！」375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr7AAjLWw1A
375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMw1UaJYax6
消毒藥水碰到傷口的劇痛，讓紫藤吃痛地叫出悶聲。375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH85O1vaemB
375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhgk9obRJhH
「很痛嗎……？」杜若停下動作，擔憂地看向紫藤。375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAo1lDe8Hiy
375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ6VhxF3dfH
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。375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8gyx1dcd87
375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbMvMIIJtdt
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。375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTDuBlVKgxu
375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNfudGRTLVf
「……我還可以忍。」說完，紫藤打直手臂。375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa01rQ7DXfo
375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvXoKm306WN
杜若點點頭，卻宛如做錯了事一般地垂下眼簾。375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHIUsbsQRhX
375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO1ildeRjtO
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。375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7SlUc1ITAR
375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaVnzU5M19B
「那、再忍耐一下就好。」375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdfEwjyX9Ak
375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLW4EyIq0MB
「呼、呼……嗚——！」375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHH0EAJCEsw
375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHRFdL3gswG
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。375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5DGPpNobaZ
375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2TGzYrK0h6
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。375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcJXU9FIYj8
375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ96sMQOBVdD
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。375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTBv8d9Cr8D
375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjxweoOx5rM
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。375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCZHfzyQxk0
375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6m83EQHOZw
「還要喝嗎？」杜若捧著還有一半的水杯，輕柔地問。375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0PvpMIheEm
375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfiSPO3mydJ
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。375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1VOEbiHCF5
375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdkTkRwQ9ND
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。375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmIjjNme44L
375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyck5gtKNfB
「……謝謝。」375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLJNca14oMW
375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXsouXfjaj3
「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。375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIAb2YeH92p
375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX4JJXER77V
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。375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmWpcNHhUwt
375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsMcfMuPAlw
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。375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhfXLa9rHGc
375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5ngjXWfcsF
不過，這無疑都是事實。375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxSkDLwem9y
375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxTdESh6vMB
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。375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFgQltdsrM7
375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvQ0ApvTHto
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。375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtjt0HNU8yR
375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj8nX8gqTi8
「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。375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbF0yKY8c11
375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkPclFoxNKm
沉默了半晌，紫藤才慢慢地開口。375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMAxGPMmOSv
375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzbX9UlDx70
「是我媽媽的遺物。」375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6ELFbKW6k0
375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc6gT8FXyfx
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。375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvbLjhPdyla
375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmHwmEqzNq0
「咦……？那為什麼會在墨駒的手裡呀？」杜若不假思索地問道。375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGbmWySQ0t1
375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrhgKayLuAG
「我也不知道。」紫藤搖搖頭，黯然地闔上雙眼。375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGDbzinazI0
375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQtoMdpWrGC
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。375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ18iPcGy2X1
375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaoki2nw5XM
「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：375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkiHHVaxggp
375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkHz6fWJ0kc
「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。」375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWlkyxLeaPS
375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMsoUDN9XBV
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。375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7ThzI7kb29
375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh49nl1SY2x
「這就是那時候、他們從媽媽的身上搶走的東西之一。」375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEcqf0AUiO9
375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ3a2TvYHP5
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。375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9aIWfAOJJO
375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF16eCKaEgy
從那時起，濺在臉上的那朵紅花就已經在紫藤的心頭生根。375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNnOkcDVbdP
375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡohQ8cMpUsI
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。375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy2se6vjjKl
375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1oOxg9280w
「原來……這是對紫藤來說這麼重要的東西啊。」375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKNJPrAmkFW
375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcakPUYmrtu
「嗯。」紫藤在胸前連同戒指握緊了拳頭。375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7qa35zeQ9t
375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZL9MAPKO8K
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。375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV78XR5027x
375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYJE6NqnmVK
自己已經不想要再失去任何東西了。375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcCXTGRpmqm
375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsB7B3F9Lb4
「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。375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcteA7wppOO
375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUz5D358e5g
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。375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpHEjH0T3ic
375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkMbhYkNKde
「媽媽他——」375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwKjkJOHjwE
375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAd6TNOlVn0
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。375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ85yHZZ8rlI
375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuGHVcNi8qw
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」。375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ2SaoKgbwI
375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQcuRvUPuty
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。375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSahnrWHe6b
375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ29KnmhdBhx
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。375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlVD4dSoob4
375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBA63BxTwWY
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。375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX8WEJqBQZy
375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHOdOZuWGqs
但紫藤一點都不喜歡學校。375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSu8y6MMEXk
375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs8tO5LwYnW
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。375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡji3hOgKrFk
375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOobAm5qfd0
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。375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKDZW1kKO50
375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ58pxWhdWr
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。375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQQsQ4nEFne
375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡweeR4W2npT
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。375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEHkCCTVnpZ
375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfE7F26lhe9
嗯，這樣就夠了。那時的紫藤只有這麼單純的滿足。375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqP1Aa40Yfp
375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYOd864np7k
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。375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYt5nVYp20u
375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwQ3SPtB3uO
那是一起倒塌事件。375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaXj6BRLjYL
375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtyT5Nz9uz5
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。375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5mAKgUYtxe
375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaA6Esq2KH9
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。375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuXcSwXQ77h
375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKA83iHcorK
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。375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFwlJXtRkJJ
375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKaaj8IzhyF
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。375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrprn55VfHb
375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ45xFpvniGo
「……我會找到給墨駒這個戒指的人。」375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfNC4cPDTYW
375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdL6xC5mz66
收起回憶，紫藤再次握緊了戒指。375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeOdwYpigUg
375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN8iF9AMsnc
「然後，殺了他。」375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGkeJGnLWrl
375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAHA9TBUfiu
紫藤的眼神猶如熾火，沒有一分一毫的搖曳。375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSoCbTQJQa6
375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPGlzLtMnv1
但只不過幾秒，便很快地萎靡了下來。375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOvKS27CEH5
375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFlrfP6S5oJ
「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。」375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFojJSMxXMf
375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6qKII4BORn
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。375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAXGkcwVnvu
375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXD7BpqnqTm
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。375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtNBVRH1Wa7
375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQugfT0r5xJ
「原來、這就是紫藤想要跟我一起行動的原因呀。」375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNd3O3cc39j
375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmLtIaDObK4
「……嗯。」375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB82vlP7fVB
375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwH7yTYSzFG
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。375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbQRnCJ0fsV
375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsAzGfwtvf1
紫藤深信，這就是自己向那些骯髒禽獸復仇的楔子。375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSAX6yXbMmK
375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKJ4TVZaRwF
這就是足以斬斷自己心頭那朵紅花的白刃。375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBon1dV301V
375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtfxgw5iXJQ
「……杜若妳呢？」375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡALkZUnmSTE
375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcN7aLACaOn
紫藤拾起快要滿溢的情感，回望了杜若那如新月般的雙眸。375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfd13gyfZeP
375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbHKB7hkVXt
「又是為什麼……會開始當殺手？」375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfKsXDU6wqZ
375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRXgMsP74mZ
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。375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXzQ5CgLRd4
375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGOBCIZ0mMB
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。375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUcdHVR54DT
375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt6CE5qcOQf
「紫藤……不會生氣吧？」375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ97YCRiCdTR
375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ27TKZdTX4w
杜若果然還在意著那時自己的衝動。375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlx7zmWN8eS
375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh1xI4tNlc7
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。375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMHdDGUW2e5
375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnEKUMzKXdc
「不會。」紫藤堅定地說：「我保證。」375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx6WZFERE0C
375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrdA5XhaLlc
等到紫藤緩緩收起手後，杜若才按著胸口，下定決心地開口。375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRdlnGYu5P6
375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ30iWEzIZzR
「……我想要救陶壺叔。」375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKrzxmED0zE
375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyaS5OsjJOU
杜若喃喃吐出的回答令紫藤感到十分意外。375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5H6O3BMRqv
375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA48AoFQezO
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？375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2bx8jIOrM3
375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBnQH1t8TRx
就好像發現了紫藤的疑惑，杜若幽幽地繼續說道：375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaMY842lCJf
375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzQuE9VZCg9
「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。」375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuUibJkfjLI
375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfsxnDZeKhC
全身慢慢就會不能動的病？375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJe8OHmnMaA
375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSvYKcIIw7r
這種病紫藤是頭一次聽見。375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQwQOny4o9q
375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx2V1Yna0kr
「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。」375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEuaVTx8gZt
375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR7ipI4peMI
「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。375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqeWxAIfQDU
375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXvBFZCWP9e
「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。」375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz32H9tf36O
375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ16e26waV8M
杜若的笑只看得見無力。375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiJnvEV75wP
375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDZPeSJDxNC
「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。」375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuwK4qY3vLX
375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡelOAvWXFMS
到這裡，杜若便沒有繼續說下去了。375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHrxYD1h8oz
375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrH0amVI5hc
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。375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoipBQ6DU7E
375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcZbKx4cLW0
然而，紫藤卻忍不住想要質疑的念頭。375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSVVUIC7Aow
375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmcPfzMtjbN
「那個狐狸、真的就這麼值得相信嗎？」375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFCywf4kqCw
375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrNzDS3RKb8
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。375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKvKNtdfejs
375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgnVWkl3A6i
「……狐狸一直都對我很好呀。」375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXmFvUyaZbR
375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡONJrOnewt6
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。375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYbLeW4kK2R
375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe2hEZyYT9s
「所以，我還是相信狐狸。」375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK6UmjkU7GV
375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJN23APrBDh
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。375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡABkYegtRPw
375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGBVRiiR2js
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。375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3ns1K7qOCF
375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH6kRf3fkGJ
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。375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfxHIfZineE
375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAeWAyEY7ZS
哪怕、就算那道光芒是朝自己射出的子彈也一樣。375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0wQqZXjvIe
375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbx6qFg1FvI
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？375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTrKoqzIlXB

這怎麼可能。375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9ksXXQt5TT
375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5xTlhEI3Cx
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。375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRDlvl1jBqz
375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXGMhlhU6Nr
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。375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTG14JsuPPb
375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkxuApANUnC
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。375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmBGQGg2gQP
375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCUudHXwc5A
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。375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpRqrEJyIMj
375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡATZVxVrK1i
察覺到掌心的柔軟，杜若看著紫藤靦腆地一笑。375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKOQU52Jf8W
375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV2iGqrpvsz
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375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5S9J0fGwTd
375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP5gwojyjma
「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。375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLHsAQCn5ID
375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwhXh37LOeo
「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！」375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ78wtpSo51h
375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQWu97z1tkH
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。375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyfkPe6rq2g
375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqHwcmf0PzP
「不過，果然還是不能夠靠沙華會的人呢。」375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsojCNO8qaV
375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5ULnlNj1hQ
經過剛才被反擊的經驗，讓兩人都對這點有了更多的共識。375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIA0Z6RSguM
375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSeti026rOv
說了句「話說回來」後，杜若就一轉話鋒、向紫藤問道：375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeax3o0HnMl
375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw3Vf2saqkt
「紫藤想要殺掉的人又是誰呀？紫藤還記得嗎？」375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU3fGgw2UZu
375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7goTfasHpD
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。375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQJUdjrUeip
375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZC1j0pSA9I
「是一個……在脖子後面紋著白色線條的沙華會紋身的人。」375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtd3VlW6r8r
375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfAsST6T0DK
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。375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzCNZyD8KE8
375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡctPPBPKPag
「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。」375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp4eUxygRmU
375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM59y5vmmQO
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。375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXpAIbkUFCP
375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbRC2PJjF2X
「這樣的話，我也來幫忙吧！」杜若自告奮勇地舉高手：375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVdCD2TVRnO
375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkgfClrvbGo
「兩個人一起找絕對比較快的！」375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcQ4ne9zuYb
375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDMH5VmvId2
杜若的模樣、讓紫藤晚了一步才發現自己說錯了話。375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFmrdzZ0ISb
375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6O1YX9rYCV
紫藤默默地低下頭、沉聲回答。375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCz7ANn9Hx9
375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWbqmYyEozO
「……不用那樣。我……我自己就夠了。」375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk9knOSSBWM
375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbSrmwxqjJp
這冷淡的回答讓杜若頓時像被潑了水的貓咪似地一愣。375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3tgVWmoSpD
375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFpJBrkQqBP
「可是、紫藤不是說到現在都……」375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdHnVXdcPzu
375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4WzxJ2r3Tc
「這本來就是我自己的事。」375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtW1ghzfzX1
375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpi0tAC2gnW
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。375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ26VY1m2uzs
375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl87BFnbP12
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。375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNjPiD2NS3O
375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA5Zn2tCbRh
「那要是紫藤遇到危險怎麼辦！」倏地，杜若站起身、提高音量375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6UuTALMl0E
375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVv98o7XWXc
「我就是為了保護自己，才會去學習要怎麼搏鬥。」375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA0pNizhtO3
375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdzeNL8a1mD
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。375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4r9El2e42z
375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYAlCTZDFAv
「可是、假如對方有槍、假如遇到像今天一樣的事……」375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqGxwdMUqkm
375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT2uSqtwbCz
「我是不會讓自己被殺死的。」375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY8Ncjkrwtg
375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpLyMolm4G9
「紫藤明明就傷成這樣、還說這種話……！」375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiRMtqj6dKg
375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrJJHatZc1E
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。375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrAqgm0c3NJ
375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnILKkGWDxm
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。375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwuoYzjz0I9
375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6IP8NFMzKr
杜若雖然想甩開，但卻在一半就失去了力氣。375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmrs2dCDRwD
375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyW8hmiK1r3
「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……」375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOSrLLYYRkR
375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZHLD0cSVYj
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。375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIhvXAErFII
375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbzK9FrWz6l
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？375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPBUnSPz9MF
375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0ctmpIytt7
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。375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjeHaPiQM7I
375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGob3a5mPVu
最後，紫藤還是用了奸詐的說法。375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1UqOqmDkq1
375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR6bJbCR0qM
「我跟陶壺叔約定過，說不會讓妳受傷了。」375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpC1J9zl9ap
375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiN1MpLOBJY
「那難道紫藤要我看著妳受傷嗎？」375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ319wB33oL6
375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDCDG3tUIR8
雖然夾雜著鼻音、但這句話卻如此強而有力。375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjfVaFC1FAd
375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy4cnoeIA5E
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。375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡViXt0YWXlo
375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1VMmlrErdc
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。375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaQWw1ryTT6
375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbPxBb6HFiD
而紫藤打算再在杜若的身上再添一層相同的痛苦嗎？375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHJJgQu1x9h
375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNC4yYUPgos
紫藤無法回答，只是沉默地別開了視線。375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYtzvnnL4NB
375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuZaV5ldksU
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？375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEEdpjP2Iei
375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd9oN9DcqpD
哪條路都是崎嶇，哪條路也都是痛苦。375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEVDNJqRGHX
375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmi8BvKazrp
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？375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhJ0q436I49
375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtsvUwfTSmG
只因為就連接受也是痛苦吧。375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3gZ68Yd4gE
375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFajbiZelQB
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？375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJBwskGCLZF
375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGTHqcY81G2
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。375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZBgvPJpmSc
375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3iW3zYqgcX
思及至此，紫藤才慢慢地放鬆了手中的力道。375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMXqSD7lmJ6
375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuZOR310jPu
「答應我、要先保護好妳自己。」375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeTKb9AybnD
375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMlpuBeeroe
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。375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXeCZqxp4pw
375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLqiyqMn8vF
「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。375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDoY2RFAt9G
375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrrv1R43kCn
「所以，我的份就用來保護紫藤吧！」375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHIDooD9ifS
375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTRG1I0yIiI
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。375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ475cFpp1Wm
375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkx8eobQOaB
「喔喔！紫藤笑了耶！」375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp95AJh8xLI
375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSwkKT6ECeY
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。375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEbyOD0eADU
375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyZZiWm75SA
「哇啊啊——！對不起！」杜若立刻慌張地放下手來。375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhUVip6zhMx
375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp5iopi84IB
疼痛雖然還沒散去，但紫藤還是發自內心地笑了。375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVvwZ3rI4ZC
375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡImn4ZI1X4F
「……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？」375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfF1mED1WI0
375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeptAcjWNCw
「咦？」這提議讓紫藤也感到意外地眨了眨眼。375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlWHNy0SJ2Y
375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdTLBpiOug5
「雖然是我自己猜的……不過狐狸應該很擅長找人吧。」375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1Bq0cRDJ0N
375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ0htWJI1gc
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。375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYDHVR3h2m5
375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdIE4IuwJoM
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。375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhFpKrLJ0TJ
375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1ZkGwtYb8i
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。375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEygiOvgWGH
375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoGkNMGXsJH
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？375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDY6mbMv4ZX
375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlB7Gz3D4ID
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？375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP3ek9K5979
375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWrzGTetSax
「那……可以幫我跟狐狸說說看嗎？」375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaIuMJ0vRl4
375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMLr6EEhdvM
「當然呀，這是我提議的嘛～」杜若自信地抱起手臂、挺起胸膛。375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaX5YjY48rM
375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAEEwPnTo2K
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。375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd4tONwEJxX
375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSAH33yDMyb
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。375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvEzn5ME85g
375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8ZD59X9snl
「妳的傷……換我幫妳吧。」375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdyPFDu3BZT
375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmM3e8dUS90
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。375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9lFqg4e9PF
375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz54ul5sgAw
「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。375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzIsSH8RAMn
375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSJdoxCBCx1
「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。375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8er924xguV
375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmpsA4Ff9QW
「撕得開來嗎？」杜若看著紫藤有些僵硬的動作，有所顧慮地問。375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmXGFQXRjrY
375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4IN8KrWWqF
「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。375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqAZCNmjNJS
375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnKW4lZI7uw
「……好了。換膝蓋吧。」375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3KMp8iMRjX
375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRUYmrH1LOi
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。375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6nELWi9AHU
375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3pzY0FhlJ2
「我臉上有什麼嗎？」紫藤不解地偏過頭。375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfIatbJUWR9
375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡngjKdxzLd2
「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：375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVDy3ZFhKpn
375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZDbgBjr6H7
「只是覺得紫藤認真的模樣……果然好帥喔。」375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE8WJrqIVqP
375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDesnm3wpZL
突如其來的稱讚，令紫藤頓時耳根一熱。375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjbL8NZh5kr
375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpCFX4ngoWs
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？375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEWQggjmtbN
375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWsmkGVBhlU
「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：375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb9aVF0llMI
375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡseQGvQuMBf
「謝謝……」375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgfW6ESAEef
375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeaFmTN6M7I
「嗯？」375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡww21ys8NqR
375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR0bqjyXykY
「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……！」375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡve2dmj4r32
375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxdHPI2v8hV
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。375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK0nglnZE5j
375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzNp2E0SiX8
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。375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlW2VNCEQbY
375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmWSEPY332n
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。375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmZKyKayC2E
375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgUDIPReNxo
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。375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQSbGxVLXAE
375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjLb1sF6wcT
「稍微……稍微彎起來一點。」375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3R7phqHzHt
375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy4dSEfoOfD
「這樣？」375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbwxcq9sngi
375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk9fPGqgBn0
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。375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu9DMGcQE1C
375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKljru3yuJX
「……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。375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNoXnvve7b2
375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZLF2fqcIRM
於是紫藤收起醫療用品，起身將箱子放回原位。375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPLxtxoFMqW
375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrewqHqzN6L
「對了，剛才紫藤提到的事件……」375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3u8XoA1eqS
375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUuOpk64Xyq
就在要踏出房門的時候，杜若忽然想到了什麼似地開了口。375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoslvHzh3dR
375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbOKLDhBo7o
「事件、是倒塌事件嗎？」375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnK0pMEeoSF
375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw10A1UoKVZ
「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。375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpfablOUev2
375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhJFa9e1Wej
「怎麼了嗎？」看見杜若的模樣，令紫藤擔心地走了回去。375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcaAByK6aRx
375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhNEh5VVaOU
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。375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBsjWkzNmdo
375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9wTqR2Pn7P
「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！」375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaWlDMcbyLt
375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWE3Dr9U7f1
紫藤雖然感到疑惑，卻還是沒有多問地走出了房間。375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuADq1a93bS
375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUsR9WKeFOn
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。375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ4HL3k1gBk
375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTjw6JL8ttw
「我們……好像弄錯順序了耶。」375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmI8NvdegL8
375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCP0ikvliZv
「……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。375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXUmDKsmm0R
375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWClKaU0ZoV
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。375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvhfpz5cets
375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW1VQaROC8T
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。375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsSI28qjMN7
375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6NgT5f8gIi
「紫藤需要我幫忙嗎？」375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJusoAypGqF
375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNmXn4kuJvt
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。375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxMUI16pIFu
375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXZj9hNtXSb
「我、我自己來就可以了……」375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7VY6sPXynv
375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSMOeKOORNu
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。375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6g3HJUgqgh
375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡraiT3vLeIp
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。375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGMgvgwTehe
375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrOBpnbWRkF
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。375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡllW33GD5ME
375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2V4SBa94Cy
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。375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCXmdr0gEap

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。375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmH67jx1K4i
375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVa2hi8HPvJ
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？375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoYgwJ81kOM
375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0grdGZzJhA
「……紫藤。」375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPyncAWdzOd
375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2osMyPmRjT
「怎麼了？」375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeXsGxOiWLV
375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlmd7imbF8y
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。375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkj8wCPsbM1
375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgzSQLekCLE
「紫藤說、會一直在我身邊……我可以相信紫藤吧？」375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6SIAoQGUQa
375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6tOw7krWIo
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。375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbgRsA89IAr
375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ26ScMLDVLg
紫藤伸出手輕蓋在了杜若的後腦，卻沒有辦法就這麼點頭。375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI5GQyGVhZx
375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUeoETBzFWB
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？375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJi2bjUHx08
375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzTapWfXEb3
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。375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh1iFA7iryB
375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡItu9mG28ht
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。375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuEQRyUOXYv
375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeQDH8P3RHU
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？375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqPsDhAly19
375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPCRG8ZMhM3
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。375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRCZd8EbvjU
375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡExJduPiZki
不過紫藤現在就在這裡。375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFOAsvO0xrm
375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHY5lDhufFk
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。375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFdrwjnpa5V
375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡApMHiQvXo7
於是、紫藤探出指頭，用指腹輕貼上了杜若的臉頰。375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqsjFxpM1DA
375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP3vPQLUzHo
「……我會試著做到的。」375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDhmPV26h58
375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXthzovFvrg
「什麼嘛……」聽見這不乾脆的回答，杜若便沒輒地笑了。375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMj0ZbTyBR2
375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgJGij7W7tU
「不過……我相信紫藤喔。」375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm1msdbSP8K
375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg3PtYyCuzY
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。375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPJPLoELwI4
375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVrpTJlrE2o
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。375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡixyyUQGlRM
375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMNkI3Px3l2
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。375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2WDWwSCvBL
375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLrO14NncbG
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。375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIvUD7h1SaB
375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3ssW66geoQ
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。375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuVw79TuE7j
