迴響的隆隆聲如同夢境般遠去。433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkz7y6bCnFG
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfwaLBA7H4E
從開出的小縫裡，一道狹窄的光切開了無邊無際的黑暗。433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡza3R61lGi2
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5Hua1RH84W
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。433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7Y2rNJiNcG
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUQLOnaBF9V
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。433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiqW6r6XTV5
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtZUEbB25AE
連沙華會都靜謐下來，就代表連凌晨也快要結束了吧。433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnbjxouoxMG
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKu2MgUoV25
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。433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTbhrFPzfN1
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡValG1xl5fh
「走吧。我們一起回去。」433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXZN5jxFcEB
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6Occtge0r0
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。433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7Zhq1cEjKU
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgOiiLUNjJn
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。433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMGWvXL9kkU
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0esOsMaQ06
為了處理傷口，杜若讓紫藤靠到了床板上頭。433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyDoed1clMe
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN8FHF6ubiM
「嗚……！」433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsWKKMiqgDD
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkNROORME6B
消毒藥水碰到傷口的劇痛，讓紫藤吃痛地叫出悶聲。433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgaak1DN6qB
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx1veYEQKCQ
「很痛嗎……？」杜若停下動作，擔憂地看向紫藤。433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBypgQbuYCj
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGd7zXwiAII
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。433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡirYKobNTzn
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVrPjg0Rxaj
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。433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuIm0QxrztN
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbf9Kpe4kA6
「……我還可以忍。」說完，紫藤打直手臂。433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdMNKqTOFY9
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb0728ZVgDr
杜若點點頭，卻宛如做錯了事一般地垂下眼簾。433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkcmyxnt6Wv
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHXT69OTnzo
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。433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmKu1am2Wtn
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM2B7QbL73p
「那、再忍耐一下就好。」433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPnPII9k0P3
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA6768c1w1u
「呼、呼……嗚——！」433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfCCF6Js306
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC3zrPBQEYh
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。433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIMjAMtmEh0
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVL39joCK6Z
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。433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhwO0uOTciR
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ3gL30WB1P
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。433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkMV7yYT6ob
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBew86wsJUw
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。433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEchp4MqxHz
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh7LStJWrVB
「還要喝嗎？」杜若捧著還有一半的水杯，輕柔地問。433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcXxT7KvPQs
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFrWV9VK7As
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。433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfcVt0MjrvD
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9T3TAjV2i5
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。433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEaT7fShCBH
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlxsx4YP9FY
「……謝謝。」433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUgonSXS1Br
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLbqwnaQyzJ
「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。433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfSGFDhXQ3w
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzEAjyXWZJy
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。433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlBR0DxT9qq
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiyKR3vlSv5
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。433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJkreGGPmGM
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6Hq6Vbqd7K
不過，這無疑都是事實。433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1Wbj3ac4HG
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGNYjWJXW9b
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。433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡax795W6jv3
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGEMNRh5zel
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。433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDWwel5Njvf
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTcQYASyYRv
「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。433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS8ftT8pZM1
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0RwHt3YLT0
沉默了半晌，紫藤才慢慢地開口。433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCrj5nVaUET
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU4rKJnjEqi
「是我媽媽的遺物。」433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡykfvLvdFLD
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAsJ7uWFHZw
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。433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUbe8yQSFJA
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKAd237Ts0p
「咦……？那為什麼會在墨駒的手裡呀？」杜若不假思索地問道。433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzoTHcprgq5
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPJqu8ELPIF
「我也不知道。」紫藤搖搖頭，黯然地闔上雙眼。433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxRCmoC0L1g
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwbVK9tW9Jx
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。433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd8e8153Tt0
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgelIEGFsud
「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：433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDMHJkTJgXk
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpPT1Rgmk9L
「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。」433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6GPOmhTUIn
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlNyuLN9G0J
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。433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtCVnraa41K
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWwZLLJFDKO
「這就是那時候、他們從媽媽的身上搶走的東西之一。」433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKNQzHUXNpR
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh74xnTjrK6
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。433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7qMkuGLUn9
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡceymXAEYEr
從那時起，濺在臉上的那朵紅花就已經在紫藤的心頭生根。433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRShzlIu4Fl
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgFK6bUv62m
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。433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3KcLG20FJY
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSvH8GtUheS
「原來……這是對紫藤來說這麼重要的東西啊。」433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT0bfEiF8IJ
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLCuW6mVWVR
「嗯。」紫藤在胸前連同戒指握緊了拳頭。433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0GdYhrxBt7
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ20K6vgkAcn
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。433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvRWP9Xt2gb
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9Ayxu3EAYP
自己已經不想要再失去任何東西了。433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd2JTXd9EAF
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfo03eVq858
「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。433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhj8Cn07TGA
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxLKyKAwlrJ
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。433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXBk4vMuCL3
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZa7Jh9fPGu
「媽媽他——」433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB2hJqw96Sk
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVFFmY5gWRZ
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。433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2T2FAItnyG
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgrK8XGMY4H
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」。433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJAwn2esw5O
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgP25aWXg25
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。433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbgSXtsdwl9
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡylo1wYFYaj
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。433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWnfT4MrENi
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtI03TO3sGU
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。433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnBnHvyaxoN
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf9dlfvcyk8
但紫藤一點都不喜歡學校。433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqAzuEEU0Yb
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpi7SaeGGt4
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。433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd91Wfwe1bl
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWOwF3LNGmJ
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。433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfDmtY1dN67
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrRVsoPAOV4
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。433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXKEj5N27Ba
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1Ixyk7Oqim
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。433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyrEpNjYYnw
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaIh3ec9942
嗯，這樣就夠了。那時的紫藤只有這麼單純的滿足。433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhZ3bKKxDLv
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡibuLACJTDA
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。433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1uoA1C8FWB
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1r3tCVwVOi
那是一起倒塌事件。433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPQ2P0ug4qU
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuGyNaIDKWY
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。433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLs9kymbvXn
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw0HpW4zrtQ
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。433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH5ZFH2reG9
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7MekYuYFFl
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。433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRL3rWZDUwQ
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO3IStJHxjS
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。433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9vAKMKW0S2
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1WxSc9F542
「……我會找到給墨駒這個戒指的人。」433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG78PYGdfTI
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnXJ3qBZZ6e
收起回憶，紫藤再次握緊了戒指。433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF2XNY9RxQL
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxi3D5AAFFJ
「然後，殺了他。」433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXrMecNwGUI
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe0uwqGo4Lx
紫藤的眼神猶如熾火，沒有一分一毫的搖曳。433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCv08eSAwhg
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz2vl2pvtRB
但只不過幾秒，便很快地萎靡了下來。433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwl8awUet4q
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCKroNbKI4y
「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。」433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIPz1wUZsKE
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX8qlbjHRKT
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。433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYaAZ4ecWZa
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwqqyZ5tye6
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。433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIVa3jlgh6K
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtBQHMx9oIe
「原來、這就是紫藤想要跟我一起行動的原因呀。」433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0PqzT3qFK0
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMFmOl0FoyF
「……嗯。」433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj51SyUwkO6
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwO7zGWGvUt
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。433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBl4X90eJeU
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbwQ3LygCip
紫藤深信，這就是自己向那些骯髒禽獸復仇的楔子。433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡocdAnfLYG2
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu2NtVIaNb5
這就是足以斬斷自己心頭那朵紅花的白刃。433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxFGHTVDgDa
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGVvhGwD70N
「……杜若妳呢？」433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLwgvVvqT8u
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJrsSd6gGsr
紫藤拾起快要滿溢的情感，回望了杜若那如新月般的雙眸。433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡymnovBcoXT
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdte3WhR2MK
「又是為什麼……會開始當殺手？」433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhsHXOtlXFg
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡswakzvzv5J
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。433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2KuqENFlkJ
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5LncQ0jA9B
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。433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY3IgtdPNq9
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDPvqs70NLi
「紫藤……不會生氣吧？」433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwTNWOhElr6
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzFmWaQJ0FD
杜若果然還在意著那時自己的衝動。433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbvsV1PelWX
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuE7kAoyT9R
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。433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk8OjTXlCfJ
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFTZ45ImM8A
「不會。」紫藤堅定地說：「我保證。」433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpuXZjhyQDB
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8pzUXzSsof
等到紫藤緩緩收起手後，杜若才按著胸口，下定決心地開口。433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAyvRyoqm4d
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLiUdfuXK01
「……我想要救陶壺叔。」433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlf8ESRgG7S
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA26jNvPlkd
杜若喃喃吐出的回答令紫藤感到十分意外。433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe2EEIy7yXu
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0M3A1bf7JJ
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？433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4FFbSiUk9s
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxxlfcRe0j3
就好像發現了紫藤的疑惑，杜若幽幽地繼續說道：433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYrKIUcJgTu
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4YwEM97WXQ
「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。」433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoEpGLJehKA
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjn3SltKDrR
全身慢慢就會不能動的病？433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDxIWpuyuae
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKUJARhxadO
這種病紫藤是頭一次聽見。433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj8nzcPvMO3
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXokCkJa1Qd
「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。」433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7RTZvIVkHo
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1sl2FCE9Vo
「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。433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpMEgSUS2Gd
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt2q4EDVvY9
「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。」433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzyAuEfd5Eh
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkxtwpOaXFy
杜若的笑只看得見無力。433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsYyScqSso6
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqhRScSnjGr
「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。」433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPQJjy4YdCf
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiIUtQ32WRc
到這裡，杜若便沒有繼續說下去了。433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLNT9zKbBAH
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcKj4dzUVvs
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。433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvWIdvFlSRY
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5XgucDuzOn
然而，紫藤卻忍不住想要質疑的念頭。433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8gkoRCZuvK
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcOBEnFqBJI
「那個狐狸、真的就這麼值得相信嗎？」433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLjfqfXN1Wk
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo90qqpY0tJ
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。433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuw3hgBvPuJ
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvRF0iE2jzs
「……狐狸一直都對我很好呀。」433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmpGZ2w9GzE
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPmOzgnlUOF
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。433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8vmQchs5wU
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbQD1YCNwH3
「所以，我還是相信狐狸。」433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMHSJ8T6Gu9
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡogARSqAnCQ
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。433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtf0Iqmz4dy
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡig12kU1pPI
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。433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1PRXc77Rcs
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsLC533WoZE
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。433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKI6AHytzSq
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0ROlwB5o5V
哪怕、就算那道光芒是朝自己射出的子彈也一樣。433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrN7TdXezw7
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL3o5iiYfqS
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？433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQkwhY3tils
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6LQ5GKOPyp
這怎麼可能。433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMSBcX6BVuV
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡespBbqo9cC
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。433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHKrmX0sygi
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqE9R4Yt67E
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。433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVanKeyahz6
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCqxXQyYaVc
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。433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ0ogWaP0je
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4XNYLHOkdA
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。433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAiO67nfobX
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGIb5rv6ch9
察覺到掌心的柔軟，杜若看著紫藤靦腆地一笑。433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE2UcSlZEVX
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkRkkv7hLJ4
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433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdETUtTQtZp
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkow9Cw3BIH
「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。433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡupqbIOHplD
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGS9wSDb6ua
「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！」433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlgen8AaB5J
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNoy2PzKW9D
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。433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvtSuoBgqoK
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6Jrx56l96u
「不過，果然還是不能夠靠沙華會的人呢。」433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnW5NCoN0Yw
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWaovpjySoK
經過剛才被反擊的經驗，讓兩人都對這點有了更多的共識。433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSV3pLxAJ2y
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvLaStNraql
說了句「話說回來」後，杜若就一轉話鋒、向紫藤問道：433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSnMmwhGBpo
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡImLy95Nk9a
「紫藤想要殺掉的人又是誰呀？紫藤還記得嗎？」433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZN1eLb39YN
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmiMjN4Rosz
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。433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnvsSAwPkWN
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxlzjDFhywG
「是一個……在脖子後面紋著白色線條的沙華會紋身的人。」433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgtMuRnplB5
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKOzqCjWojE
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。433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ57c1kj6CiT
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7WHme9PPO2
「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。」433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7hS8JCoty8
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeWX41WyUDh
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。433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ174Vjdm5LB
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMPMbOZoRIp
「這樣的話，我也來幫忙吧！」杜若自告奮勇地舉高手：433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5uWFWfxnKH
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMxLFqYStI9
「兩個人一起找絕對比較快的！」433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgTZ00lFh0n
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8iusGkIT44
杜若的模樣、讓紫藤晚了一步才發現自己說錯了話。433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRendz6OTk6
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCbVM2Xhwkv
紫藤默默地低下頭、沉聲回答。433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8nX8fWhM9f
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu22YAWbP0S
「……不用那樣。我……我自己就夠了。」433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAeKuZUCNoV
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqOBTH6xJ8J
這冷淡的回答讓杜若頓時像被潑了水的貓咪似地一愣。433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQLIZPy5Rdp
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrtxiUFxsVy
「可是、紫藤不是說到現在都……」433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlosEzwHZAa
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAB3wEK0eUh
「這本來就是我自己的事。」433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡre37c1GuBO
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkyMsucgxD5
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。433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu6dKnaiz4G
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq9XKy55eUA
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。433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCshrHGeoBP
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIgzGeCKtvH
「那要是紫藤遇到危險怎麼辦！」倏地，杜若站起身、提高音量433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn8DVPwN2QZ
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkcaoLUU1u9
「我就是為了保護自己，才會去學習要怎麼搏鬥。」433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHvlay6GcK1
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ4w3j7C5NF
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。433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6ybC5yEiwn
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa7IQy2Vs01
「可是、假如對方有槍、假如遇到像今天一樣的事……」433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGJbDl1SpZz
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIrbNZlFiOL
「我是不會讓自己被殺死的。」433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe7pq6SYl0y
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKufFOFjncG
「紫藤明明就傷成這樣、還說這種話……！」433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9iVAZQl47C
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqQORLuUK8I
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。433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKKXED7cP52
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3yQy21crYZ
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。433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡocTOVSnFkJ
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBqRz3ndmZ4
杜若雖然想甩開，但卻在一半就失去了力氣。433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU7NKlS8JUW
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcBXsBTk07J
「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……」433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC4LO5T2G1Y
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlDilcjXpOH
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。433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡub2k5zMoZ5
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3aVbDGy9N8
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？433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCokXe8vQCC
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzCxE96qEh5
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。433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7HZApl86vk
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡur39bdGGTw
最後，紫藤還是用了奸詐的說法。433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgJFjkWRL0s
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS2YnkQ8dNI
「我跟陶壺叔約定過，說不會讓妳受傷了。」433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKOO5DG4Vo0
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOKgmhE9njE
「那難道紫藤要我看著妳受傷嗎？」433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxYmbuq67uf
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡitmlvB7eQt
雖然夾雜著鼻音、但這句話卻如此強而有力。433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpcnGcT7mwa
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFjb8eLGa2e
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。433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSt3FDdd18E
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfZLebHHOlm
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。433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlX52iKj19H
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxf5X1sV1WW
而紫藤打算再在杜若的身上再添一層相同的痛苦嗎？433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa66Sgl7aAF
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZq0matsZn0
紫藤無法回答，只是沉默地別開了視線。433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnAvdAKU6Uf
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNUr3xRVNwx
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？433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD6CEsYfhrt
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZprTsqWO3W
哪條路都是崎嶇，哪條路也都是痛苦。433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm19SP454GB
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWsrv0rr7QB
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？433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC1fUDvAuVf
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF4XUHv0acA
只因為就連接受也是痛苦吧。433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjOTcpcNsUy
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRwAQtF6KvI
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？433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoPgFEhwsYQ
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg7bK8Hlw3r
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。433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNZjNR5VXLk
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqxEhW2NARR
思及至此，紫藤才慢慢地放鬆了手中的力道。433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK2dHJFft8u
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtpUx0qyugv
「答應我、要先保護好妳自己。」433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7LEw7v9Lq4
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡILfr82EwCz
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。433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK2zrxRVqEC
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTL20eJHfzP
「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。433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr2wWcJsk9J
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgAvj3f5JlI
「所以，我的份就用來保護紫藤吧！」433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6yd5TF9TzC
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRGaxRJ6yPw
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。433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEzILPA1jsn
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdkqRsYGWk8
「喔喔！紫藤笑了耶！」433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlCpyG7lTZT
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz5wrEpp8Jz
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。433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHUt1fmQLBn
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7yQihqTvSs
「哇啊啊——！對不起！」杜若立刻慌張地放下手來。433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbezmjD8dAI
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNrMrha0MLm
疼痛雖然還沒散去，但紫藤還是發自內心地笑了。433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOd3mGl3L7F
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCLMiyRalJB
「……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？」433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo1T0HcT7Eu
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh63o5FmH3F
「咦？」這提議讓紫藤也感到意外地眨了眨眼。433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM2J1EONoaf
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6Aml9JAw47
「雖然是我自己猜的……不過狐狸應該很擅長找人吧。」433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkPbCwLuVnw
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8zvQDQkXO6
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。433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkLvPOJRNh2
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmbfe3bAzas
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。433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡraXJpN7WBW
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡupAkHroghS
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。433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYDYmtTX36r
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsMP9PBMLSv
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？433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwhXrsUi0dV
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLm6flFHHZN
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？433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOiAoviKKJe
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡozvHhULh7i
「那……可以幫我跟狐狸說說看嗎？」433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHmZ7el0ZNu
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVXUQLzYhLW
「當然呀，這是我提議的嘛～」杜若自信地抱起手臂、挺起胸膛。433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ70pfhKtV2U
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz9D3DQqamK
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。433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ43AAlbxTcY
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡExes7OCzpd
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。433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrnZHurCgxK
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUFP4i7pGCY
「妳的傷……換我幫妳吧。」433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxIRJyCbdBs
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJMEPii3E9K
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。433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU9H70bwWSg
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFqFvQCZZOp
「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。433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqvlDOmow59
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd14QDjoMcp
「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。433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmeX8HhqKk8
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIbdkkoOSNY
「撕得開來嗎？」杜若看著紫藤有些僵硬的動作，有所顧慮地問。433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPBSSz1vT39
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7F4gVimg5x
「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。433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7kJoqEJWC5
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDZ3QmQYtvK
「……好了。換膝蓋吧。」433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0m7EpX55By
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrRPY4UPl5a
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。433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ96p0GHKoEd
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsCAhxAEpMK
「我臉上有什麼嗎？」紫藤不解地偏過頭。433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRphKeglFCI
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjOWVDznLR6
「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：433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡueE9I7N5i0
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTqDGMadHJs
「只是覺得紫藤認真的模樣……果然好帥喔。」433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyBl7qcUU6Q
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoy1xHDEu43
突如其來的稱讚，令紫藤頓時耳根一熱。433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdn3theNHQU
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRddSuDByBS
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？433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ28GIfmWUiN
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK92uS5wDMG
「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：433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt8RNz7P8ub
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAUoUV4P6bd
「謝謝……」433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKUSECtpSRt
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvfwyJzBAlv
「嗯？」433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8Tb3R4c9Le
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbuiCR1XidH
「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……！」433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR0Z6AdkJDV
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe3xJbQV58q
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。433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBCzOZr0km4
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxUbTBql07x
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。433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJzmmhSP1P5
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPqLMQwM0hU
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。433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE69AZU1n8Z
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKD0zVFiDTr
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。433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp5HTZsOUob
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmSS0eqAJ8P
「稍微……稍微彎起來一點。」433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzD5of8AiI5
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLWbGy5Aq1E
「這樣？」433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe5jP7ZDXB6
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6kmAQSayVD
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。433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCy7ta0K8bl
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwUifhEIhQU
「……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。433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfksEZf1IJ8
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCnzRmpelQq
於是紫藤收起醫療用品，起身將箱子放回原位。433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeGCEQGfeWt
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM0bByvYQP1
「對了，剛才紫藤提到的事件……」433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkdt9ApJQHk
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9PUGPiAz1y
就在要踏出房門的時候，杜若忽然想到了什麼似地開了口。433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNCpbxuYwoF
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡknzGQOXsWA
「事件、是倒塌事件嗎？」433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCMnotZSzDc
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsBNE1gkUoP
「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。433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvLqRj2EqD4
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmEJ6weU70I
「怎麼了嗎？」看見杜若的模樣，令紫藤擔心地走了回去。433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeKLD3paYSt
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4FeQ7neH0z
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。433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2f7ndSajOJ
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLwjz51ZBk6
「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！」433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqHpitg5iQo
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR3mcpx2HjF
紫藤雖然感到疑惑，卻還是沒有多問地走出了房間。433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7YKXVVuXJf
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp1vaj1McL6
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。433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMJFal2jQiz
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwbiQRLoXih
「我們……好像弄錯順序了耶。」433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡijCULJTK26
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrM5yBSA7qH
「……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。433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4jxG97ObrJ
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLwd1hpnDTi
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。433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡns6mbdDuRL
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1mpHNUHLFp
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。433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRfMifuW9wV
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBc0YErszMP
「紫藤需要我幫忙嗎？」433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡag2mrBDx17
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmy2Tianz3j
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。433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTPSaF0x59n
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2gkGXkC6b7
「我、我自己來就可以了……」433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU8uVWcuWE5
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhvWHUUQKwF
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。433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8rQqiyPR2w
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQXxEjxipnE
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。433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkZfUMP0VMf
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡigHbavvOFV
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。433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyPGvHq9PPj
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjW3xwZfF6C
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。433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMNDl0A8HCj

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。433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo47GGgvKXs
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm8HW29QRnt
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？433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv83i2B3a0t
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvU3DlCmday
「……紫藤。」433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHMpGDirgj6
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnYRSPRd6aq
「怎麼了？」433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUzglemMtcf
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX4U77RWUwt
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。433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ50Ohre3mpm
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv2CuYNpkqN
「紫藤說、會一直在我身邊……我可以相信紫藤吧？」433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLHVdCvXR4l
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG7OgLDv30v
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。433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7FjF8dEgfi
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ887Bk9NKtP
紫藤伸出手輕蓋在了杜若的後腦，卻沒有辦法就這麼點頭。433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFkHTGQfliY
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKgQhFSS0PF
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？433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDjpYgGQsNR
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHN0zgZYrwg
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。433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyWfsmzBDzQ
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgr4aPR223K
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。433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgbOfQaIkgD
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5q17jIl2A2
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？433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡStewrG4hUS
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ70YsuoeTqY
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。433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf8RqflH5z7
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLEm4k5jAQq
不過紫藤現在就在這裡。433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzjrQ7EhQAv
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ58CTdUT8Pw
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。433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPm6rb5FIJ7
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtJvuchLEuM
於是、紫藤探出指頭，用指腹輕貼上了杜若的臉頰。433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡirmztJT9Ue
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjwFhXNHrEV
「……我會試著做到的。」433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6V3D5WkM11
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn2SQ56z9F1
「什麼嘛……」聽見這不乾脆的回答，杜若便沒輒地笑了。433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlcrFt66fzy
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnYq6ZV6TX7
「不過……我相信紫藤喔。」433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPqVsQMv1FY
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4SX0hW2ZVU
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。433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYx1iVrDBQs
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡULihEmH96i
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。433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwseyRg19Ws
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnOl5JzJ2Mm
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。433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSlu22Ac2SL
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq9XyOJ7k6B
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。433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfrYLTM6HSY
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb63kGOtlyd
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。433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyX4FH7nWyT
