迴響的隆隆聲如同夢境般遠去。373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEUuOKYdRV3
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIPUNZEvMPe
從開出的小縫裡，一道狹窄的光切開了無邊無際的黑暗。373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ19bW12O2UX
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmPZGOgL8pG
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。373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡchUDuFUehA
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFw1XN2iFiH
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。373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ67Nj6kjqsR
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm8MyhTtKna
連沙華會都靜謐下來，就代表連凌晨也快要結束了吧。373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOdEFmgFqNz
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOCnYpgVN2n
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。373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYEXjEup6mk
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxqA6wX1Xoj
「走吧。我們一起回去。」373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWINvvG4aHJ
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh1oQ6SlswW
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。373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEXM6IY3vVT
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoGp4T9zL6d
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。373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC4OmRIe9M6
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZzsnQQq7DA
為了處理傷口，杜若讓紫藤靠到了床板上頭。373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5gm3ITwxwP
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzpS86dQv6d
「嗚……！」373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjAtaZKrMwp
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyTAppK2LBx
消毒藥水碰到傷口的劇痛，讓紫藤吃痛地叫出悶聲。373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCHERvS2g7u
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIUYP4ScFqE
「很痛嗎……？」杜若停下動作，擔憂地看向紫藤。373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLXAUoAFV5v
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQxSX17iIHy
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。373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHHDJi6gLIz
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG5nlPkU9oT
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。373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEUEAhdNST9
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvY1WEdxlk4
「……我還可以忍。」說完，紫藤打直手臂。373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwKaoFdkRSY
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwu1VOS1JPi
杜若點點頭，卻宛如做錯了事一般地垂下眼簾。373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtCaSVOVAb9
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡioNwZYZLnU
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。373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNqFaPEjsBY
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiCD4ER0gke
「那、再忍耐一下就好。」373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2o3PHY67s2
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9EilmfyTRp
「呼、呼……嗚——！」373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVzm8QOGeYG
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz1o0PKvPPV
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。373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbASwaJ9hmn
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJjp7SjurrC
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。373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGjhPlTYnog
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAGKOyhwMh5
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。373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYjie5qFQIW
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSO7axVDfWs
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。373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkCRLbRbCIq
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVjFqXNKGbb
「還要喝嗎？」杜若捧著還有一半的水杯，輕柔地問。373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUGnVGEgk3h
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu5mkX5gmpR
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。373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0nApBDhKin
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDTH5RQgw3H
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。373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcWXERYYbJG
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSHdEBP1ejV
「……謝謝。」373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1PoaousxhK
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡacnzH0kI82
「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。373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn9l0kqDQbg
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4FuUVPqDtg
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。373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWVZlGafkOE
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDhfj6otYs1
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。373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ54IZfirxlY
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgRdCi8pB15
不過，這無疑都是事實。373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrS9302aDvs
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSLKQK9IVc5
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。373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpu4KfrJSPR
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo6YAGbW8nZ
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。373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3KIbYdh7Xj
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO9EDzpWvzB
「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。373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGknLVtfD0D
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSzFkmo2QN2
沉默了半晌，紫藤才慢慢地開口。373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWZAJpy4AL1
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyipuQNaAlN
「是我媽媽的遺物。」373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf3blosZJpi
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhCG5pKJXqt
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。373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmI8VNosVYK
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVwD9qsv70E
「咦……？那為什麼會在墨駒的手裡呀？」杜若不假思索地問道。373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXVacDhHqG6
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCZyfE2bWcA
「我也不知道。」紫藤搖搖頭，黯然地闔上雙眼。373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTHcvlvP3Mb
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7teMzAc35m
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。373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhhTuDZYbhS
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4sDUpJxtoO
「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：373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9ypLUgGFfv
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBe4QKlTtKc
「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。」373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz2yrLprGwl
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0cnKboDdf7
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。373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK6s0fEeFOd
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJtYFjAhgkC
「這就是那時候、他們從媽媽的身上搶走的東西之一。」373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU1QTIgWdaX
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1BVmchEcqA
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。373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB1aTLEATDK
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTE9sSYsYH9
從那時起，濺在臉上的那朵紅花就已經在紫藤的心頭生根。373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWfjECpSoCs
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKC5cvoVzx5
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。373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlSKGnXSxon
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡctIaU9H9KZ
「原來……這是對紫藤來說這麼重要的東西啊。」373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGH53adha05
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmPRwLClEOc
「嗯。」紫藤在胸前連同戒指握緊了拳頭。373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXFoT42ghTS
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr6V7cnXkNa
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。373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSaeHGfQ33Q
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwTyJxuU6jd
自己已經不想要再失去任何東西了。373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSRiCQB1Nbz
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR7umYFDXMS
「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。373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxEMPyEU21t
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSp4hmxQ9iu
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。373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtXnlnP5eKg
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLXiI5Zl8jS
「媽媽他——」373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡITjMeHBlcC
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs8REA9PM46
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。373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKMnTRxAqef
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsWnXTp4PsC
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」。373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpobmXvyCQ6
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL1QLwNQc7u
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。373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ99NGX1mtb0
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWfvx62zKUk
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。373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM6bKIZmLsB
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmoLji1Ds43
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。373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLH9xuz8pam
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWQrWtnV5uE
但紫藤一點都不喜歡學校。373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpn2BbQLQtJ
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo0TGUhLPBy
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。373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1PdhbsbDfX
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8xTvlG0XHV
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。373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmCNI6iQg5a
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9rzxyst8kJ
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。373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXQtoSX4yiE
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ41d1KfFkC6
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。373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNAvMj0ZgEr
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB2EFkEzV7k
嗯，這樣就夠了。那時的紫藤只有這麼單純的滿足。373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF1OiZcwH5z
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6eoLqU1zIw
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。373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcqXIACsYmO
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS15KIL8ad0
那是一起倒塌事件。373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVSkUQgLkyd
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZaTq2ph88m
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。373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZGSirQI0DO
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNM0rtPAliz
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。373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡThZR5ht6W8
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmzJ2EkYO6T
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。373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ34ppUvFLiF
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ11SRWkKGPv
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。373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTN51HZkWyA
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkF4JodzKoy
「……我會找到給墨駒這個戒指的人。」373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY0WYMAs6Om
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqcJs1E9eRB
收起回憶，紫藤再次握緊了戒指。373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoX3F6CxEz2
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2bMixbzlL0
「然後，殺了他。」373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaqbyNLb7hu
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoGqR2Z3212
紫藤的眼神猶如熾火，沒有一分一毫的搖曳。373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVa0FERpv1s
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcawVWjgzkL
但只不過幾秒，便很快地萎靡了下來。373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTMp7zi6nHd
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoI7dLIdaXL
「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。」373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqEX04fyxeV
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIQJjlzqr59
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。373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsy4CYVIyuu
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjFbBLGT0hh
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。373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9cASdFid4F
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2jWR0raPrf
「原來、這就是紫藤想要跟我一起行動的原因呀。」373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSVV8zGeGln
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8a5DkP1jDc
「……嗯。」373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5un1DIWHNl
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjk9cD0VDbW
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。373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjCcTyYGBbM
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCw4LV1KY7U
紫藤深信，這就是自己向那些骯髒禽獸復仇的楔子。373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpbB0gJ3qEA
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWCsze3GxuB
這就是足以斬斷自己心頭那朵紅花的白刃。373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcvfH5BMazm
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGsAo8KM6Jm
「……杜若妳呢？」373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡecaCIgRPNn
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIA3Roodf4d
紫藤拾起快要滿溢的情感，回望了杜若那如新月般的雙眸。373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLnUkfHRDxY
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlYsnqKtzyl
「又是為什麼……會開始當殺手？」373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG6o7Q0RXAQ
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW7psJox9YA
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。373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbNCxyGBIZ1
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1z7ngAzhY3
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。373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBtBJrqnTw5
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8ckQg64fFj
「紫藤……不會生氣吧？」373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyOZDnUi5CT
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZskNZjR7On
杜若果然還在意著那時自己的衝動。373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl7k6jEeeqM
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcuCdlCuyud
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。373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXXrR178ERI
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1cu6XTFW61
「不會。」紫藤堅定地說：「我保證。」373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLXDEY0Py3y
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNcoEGMY4wn
等到紫藤緩緩收起手後，杜若才按著胸口，下定決心地開口。373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSrYLCAFGuf
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvnEMkPBdED
「……我想要救陶壺叔。」373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCJCTiLrwdh
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡupnltY7ZrM
杜若喃喃吐出的回答令紫藤感到十分意外。373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyuyHR6soUf
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX9HnjIDgek
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？373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN6yUgfCRQA
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmdJSLhanFZ
就好像發現了紫藤的疑惑，杜若幽幽地繼續說道：373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfaoEVBPIW1
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkGlWjqmc0d
「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。」373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXOWXHCY9Wz
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡraWeqmxg9e
全身慢慢就會不能動的病？373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxBc2RqaU0U
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhgl24mLJmD
這種病紫藤是頭一次聽見。373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6fR0AjLrJc
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXpL0fGGQwB
「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。」373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxiNkWZgshs
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF37uty69KK
「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。373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSWsRGvLMeE
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9REFaMmoWA
「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。」373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjcQfa5rK1b
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6uA5JHRMLo
杜若的笑只看得見無力。373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuAKA2QAncJ
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0XBIghjdn4
「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。」373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN8DIt1JtjX
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA9do7C07rN
到這裡，杜若便沒有繼續說下去了。373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrKM1MTTblq
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp9U8HkICX4
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。373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh7FYr3KhN4
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUS3IArBj0d
然而，紫藤卻忍不住想要質疑的念頭。373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtPjCtLayhf
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjsEdSJLvpf
「那個狐狸、真的就這麼值得相信嗎？」373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmC8wl57Dx4
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjLvktwXclz
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。373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo0hpAqR7cJ
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaCx35xwRQm
「……狐狸一直都對我很好呀。」373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcxf449iSVk
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIxvDTDmopj
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。373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf9k3MIb5xc
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAL5IQ4WRfP
「所以，我還是相信狐狸。」373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdcFjPHHLMh
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIrZ7zGyfdJ
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。373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWQI33UmpMn
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6E0LjWeigs
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。373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOByEizLcCb
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhr0yB7Cm8b
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。373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVTxh08gTv5
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI0wov3uduM
哪怕、就算那道光芒是朝自己射出的子彈也一樣。373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN6HPh3MhYC
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7469SoI1rz
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？373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNSqm1wOYmG

這怎麼可能。373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLrfcRixVye
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzFpevmeCOe
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。373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPb12mUadZn
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRxKG3csXUA
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。373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQEqzuW1xRk
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSTUnNOOIw0
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。373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0zwK2WPPpt
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡao8PGhJMsa
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。373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCYH34xi7uQ
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxa8jqg7sC8
察覺到掌心的柔軟，杜若看著紫藤靦腆地一笑。373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0ESvTkUrQn
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfzsBsEW0lZ
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373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGum09wleK7
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡItk9TaKEC1
「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。373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡboiVtw8VPx
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6XMeCwTSAI
「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！」373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlpLRP0NbVh
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeAbhm1Dany
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。373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxcO23lSv9s
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwB6JnPxuGn
「不過，果然還是不能夠靠沙華會的人呢。」373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVf5ZaL6MTI
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtX70lz7HOv
經過剛才被反擊的經驗，讓兩人都對這點有了更多的共識。373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ52KVdroeBL
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4seOuAb5ZR
說了句「話說回來」後，杜若就一轉話鋒、向紫藤問道：373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmpJVZtdkbO
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIgStjsPXwp
「紫藤想要殺掉的人又是誰呀？紫藤還記得嗎？」373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJShsQeWw6A
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA5gwG320ov
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。373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdAJ7st8kHe
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa6M1VGIiIQ
「是一個……在脖子後面紋著白色線條的沙華會紋身的人。」373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbF7ioAax9u
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz3xyJ4i9GM
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。373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ28qmVg2n2R
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaSU0yMiFNm
「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。」373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡomhyTmTZm9
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHu6rk4OfVJ
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。373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNrBdy4xq2S
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiXxrROlbkE
「這樣的話，我也來幫忙吧！」杜若自告奮勇地舉高手：373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1ISUZndIjU
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTWeLkbvgpZ
「兩個人一起找絕對比較快的！」373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9FjbM4q2Pj
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpi3jTZWNsf
杜若的模樣、讓紫藤晚了一步才發現自己說錯了話。373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1pzIpTLOYe
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbUOLGuH63U
紫藤默默地低下頭、沉聲回答。373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0usqtHJ6ZK
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuAsS0pYx1H
「……不用那樣。我……我自己就夠了。」373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaq8Krjtejn
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0oIZxByqgA
這冷淡的回答讓杜若頓時像被潑了水的貓咪似地一愣。373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwgsCEub0NN
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9NCsjsigJq
「可是、紫藤不是說到現在都……」373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnF76sKsIf3
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnR31mAFGsk
「這本來就是我自己的事。」373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL2pExvmTBE
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKtHt4scaUW
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。373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoD6HDWITyf
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTBtSl4wkMM
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。373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyN5cSwv2N5
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnHKAtgDqZ4
「那要是紫藤遇到危險怎麼辦！」倏地，杜若站起身、提高音量373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLL0svwoPsf
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTht3zGyZJ6
「我就是為了保護自己，才會去學習要怎麼搏鬥。」373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcgioESkI9x
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjKUxfUiYwj
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。373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡigvoNTECcP
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuUDt4jXBQ3
「可是、假如對方有槍、假如遇到像今天一樣的事……」373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzAH3D5LnQa
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOY4IWRDca1
「我是不會讓自己被殺死的。」373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFQ7k71cWWB
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVgtc6KGplI
「紫藤明明就傷成這樣、還說這種話……！」373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoQ8RUiDtEo
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfBsssztm5V
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。373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAwIo9evVeJ
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYcOasHFGgc
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。373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUZsQw1l1Zl
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu7FpoQ5JKP
杜若雖然想甩開，但卻在一半就失去了力氣。373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8ZvctJYkvn
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ0f82Pop8n
「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……」373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhaScGccmJS
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2fN3Sfpzzx
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。373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpw00LlV2QL
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTXVlztbBaf
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？373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZKuM3Sb1zr
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI4JcLTHIP5
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。373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO2N9yVuJn9
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIprjDHdobx
最後，紫藤還是用了奸詐的說法。373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEeU29RqP1I
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR7eKaTVxrm
「我跟陶壺叔約定過，說不會讓妳受傷了。」373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbHO2B94Op3
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡITKOHZ2vIb
「那難道紫藤要我看著妳受傷嗎？」373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvr3kFSkQon
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDA1uER80Oj
雖然夾雜著鼻音、但這句話卻如此強而有力。373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0ex0m90GFS
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwdj3R8iILX
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。373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTujzGAVe5f
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ11mQIDLQaB
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。373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmeTG2r0zUc
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOombTqJNyR
而紫藤打算再在杜若的身上再添一層相同的痛苦嗎？373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC0y4eSqLCZ
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIo9By5mzfl
紫藤無法回答，只是沉默地別開了視線。373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1cqGTSIMyP
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYWbRV0WiOT
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？373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9ba0Il10sC
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6rpSM2u5Sw
哪條路都是崎嶇，哪條路也都是痛苦。373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNetOwTVOSF
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTe8Dj4sd7O
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？373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPPcYq5SPFy
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgcmpeBnhHx
只因為就連接受也是痛苦吧。373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkF5oO9TQve
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsYrhjSGaGA
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？373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡczfdEGeVA8
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY6DRKYAgPx
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。373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq69WeplkEF
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpjFnlh9nQl
思及至此，紫藤才慢慢地放鬆了手中的力道。373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJYdWzp5oos
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIb9bINRhEG
「答應我、要先保護好妳自己。」373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmqMJvBhd4V
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqfhwf7etq2
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。373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJPaEZjQ5G6
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAEwg13VxMr
「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。373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLFSQUQrdV4
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxgPyTNNgeU
「所以，我的份就用來保護紫藤吧！」373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmm4FEF3Qjf
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKazjYCqmcQ
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。373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc3i9sGyrsR
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKQza26nFxL
「喔喔！紫藤笑了耶！」373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuMTx4rBxXS
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtRegSfPx8v
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。373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsI1pQs1C5H
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe5nJqyMmiP
「哇啊啊——！對不起！」杜若立刻慌張地放下手來。373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3LnYpq8Ox1
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiXGNuUQTvq
疼痛雖然還沒散去，但紫藤還是發自內心地笑了。373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhWpOCz96wU
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvxlCDmF2mz
「……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？」373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdbypzPPQKX
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWMf47uxOOK
「咦？」這提議讓紫藤也感到意外地眨了眨眼。373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0F9SUo5t01
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAEaY2PJa5d
「雖然是我自己猜的……不過狐狸應該很擅長找人吧。」373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTHBuTWSYcR
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzKAA0tQvT5
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。373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKlwoTIAcwN
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMWDrLRDjOR
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。373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAHlloIC34z
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8tnHvbZGUA
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。373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhtTaO7iVVK
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbe4fJyPY0Y
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？373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7wOgH3n9pE
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjoOCYBaTE1
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？373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHonpFarEse
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiPSJx3um43
「那……可以幫我跟狐狸說說看嗎？」373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeWWMbHpixq
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWb0U1UIsOb
「當然呀，這是我提議的嘛～」杜若自信地抱起手臂、挺起胸膛。373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5jMEaeiCr1
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgMjoujnz2k
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。373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN1iPqyIaPX
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNbY2pZQtAS
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。373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGAG6yz4tvU
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmYMNiwFGPR
「妳的傷……換我幫妳吧。」373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSZymb7vYh2
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡga6jl5vzqD
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。373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMJ6pJUe60a
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiW2QmE6LOM
「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。373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5z8l1mjKzC
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9wtRAWOTdS
「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。373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOIloCHybPj
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrAX58dqYOH
「撕得開來嗎？」杜若看著紫藤有些僵硬的動作，有所顧慮地問。373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNCegJlGNOC
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOKCMHfrxdN
「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。373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8deQ50F6PF
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡybKcAmj3j2
「……好了。換膝蓋吧。」373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8Q2nnNfvhV
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡumQDwSNcoW
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。373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ04BulAUJWs
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2JZewOH3FT
「我臉上有什麼嗎？」紫藤不解地偏過頭。373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOP7M89aQTB
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4spWySBMjF
「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：373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAYN33XD2YD
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡISVl4b8ny6
「只是覺得紫藤認真的模樣……果然好帥喔。」373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRaTgiIdQJI
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVnUUTU6kXy
突如其來的稱讚，令紫藤頓時耳根一熱。373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ29asMXAqIC
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdyGPjkwuhV
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？373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ96VbsvNRn1
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFu3cI9SHFX
「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：373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhcV7B2BxLB
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcTYoLOscH4
「謝謝……」373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡegtJExRzb8
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4rebkF81Rd
「嗯？」373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbBj5gNWOPK
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6i0iQiDZDF
「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……！」373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMWHmRfAVja
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgvBKSyhgmp
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。373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7AMU7mtYQ2
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRrHEyzQbpT
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。373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7niOzXsRLT
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVBP88XkyOF
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。373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVSumFN0PDO
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuJr1SpkmWR
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。373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJMWtx1V86Z
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFOrzkwWcrm
「稍微……稍微彎起來一點。」373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWsv1JIWAFo
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3gwSs8aKg9
「這樣？」373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQKn2TMjRH1
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLV6RZBRB5N
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。373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwxFUHGBAdl
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhVDLwlerrS
「……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。373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwrkcItKaxz
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6HeQjENuKT
於是紫藤收起醫療用品，起身將箱子放回原位。373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiRxLMBB2B6
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDT9pL8tmIp
「對了，剛才紫藤提到的事件……」373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJInp9H4Lgu
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjj4hgoiW4r
就在要踏出房門的時候，杜若忽然想到了什麼似地開了口。373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd0hQHgDGeL
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNqxviOEpqE
「事件、是倒塌事件嗎？」373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEWDhrvAr5j
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsEUCHL8Etv
「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。373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGk0vBqAIeE
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuO2cwvn6TE
「怎麼了嗎？」看見杜若的模樣，令紫藤擔心地走了回去。373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXy18c3KOHD
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMONRt0Y4zn
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。373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0re2eJBbjw
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlHTbpxT4Lx
「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！」373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO4HPF5UlFm
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyYJk1DpC8T
紫藤雖然感到疑惑，卻還是沒有多問地走出了房間。373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLSqCOpWx3Q
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOZCXdlVmDI
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。373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAXtxUcoH3l
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRgC1j2nQAI
「我們……好像弄錯順序了耶。」373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCrNSfzPZ4X
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvMJ5MQ0rC6
「……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。373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOrQEdG8A02
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk8Wp0zWtl1
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。373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQpOjNsfdVC
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbRrGzPpy0s
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。373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8CbBSZqaoS
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0Y7LNHY223
「紫藤需要我幫忙嗎？」373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzxF4m3cKUt
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq1LrWrq0rU
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。373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaNHOn4K8pd
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgd6lFuIbV6
「我、我自己來就可以了……」373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHWKq99L968
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqvX5re3RxV
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。373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw3voq7uFgx
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡggJSizUVgD
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。373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2Vme0vF6VT
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlb9hQukGYS
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。373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsIDTfeX8HJ
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTaag1eIN3s
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。373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV7MtQEIZ7Q
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn6lKwSD34Y
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。373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuzLdoKT1q9
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9Mt2d6kAgH
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？373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL9hBNjyY01

「……紫藤。」373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxvNipzy4jC
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbZp617LrLe
「怎麼了？」373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwCIVGEfLdr
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeXS3YBGugw
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。373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡukL6VfBKdc
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQEt6jUdvLk
「紫藤說、會一直在我身邊……我可以相信紫藤吧？」373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWrz3RPmmJe
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaAjZAUF6Az
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。373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWb0vHkTRl7
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGppItHtksf
紫藤伸出手輕蓋在了杜若的後腦，卻沒有辦法就這麼點頭。373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTQNl0Ti3p8
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡua2hWgoB1M
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？373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLgjKmiSsMO
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxjAd7Wuu3J
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。373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWt9b1EmreR
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt1smLg7x2M
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。373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXda9wMPQs9
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNQoYHA1hwW
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？373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdt9nFsJdJs
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjXojloMqOF
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。373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1GRIOeh77n
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLO5pm6bBxk
不過紫藤現在就在這裡。373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEPaMdzonKy
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQtme9o74ip
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。373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfYUsWdifdm
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5RkVokB5kM
於是、紫藤探出指頭，用指腹輕貼上了杜若的臉頰。373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjGYBFHwBnr
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmSQYJ7lRox
「……我會試著做到的。」373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzAX6p1MG3F
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhyQZdl9Vou
「什麼嘛……」聽見這不乾脆的回答，杜若便沒輒地笑了。373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbsdEQMH8nK
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqlQXtzMVfr
「不過……我相信紫藤喔。」373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAtWHhCJ8UU
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJP3yh6ynpy
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。373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhsxzR26kop
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG3ZxnXO0Dq
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。373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzjYqMT0aVJ
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQGHuwA8LnU
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。373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj7uNLiivob
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqZyW3DkCgL
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。373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaMWPPqCMCu
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEtE6fneDqA
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。373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnZY4ZmwPfL
