迴響的隆隆聲如同夢境般遠去。390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPSS0xiuhAj
390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKrer78CaeR
從開出的小縫裡，一道狹窄的光切開了無邊無際的黑暗。390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIZzt4GP38t
390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHdIkfYWlJX
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。390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8ZkctpKCmm
390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG6TMrPTh2F
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。390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVlaYUXGb2K
390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYTSaRKE7Qi
連沙華會都靜謐下來，就代表連凌晨也快要結束了吧。390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡylB3icUB6c
390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDODl8XeQyX
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。390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH781qqLfeP
390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjpzPzj9tBg
「走吧。我們一起回去。」390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj3KehaF1HB
390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBEKMoE8tUy
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。390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi0Jydwzmou
390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBid96kHHVs
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。390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMPDzVON75f
390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcijPfIqyVh
為了處理傷口，杜若讓紫藤靠到了床板上頭。390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1u0nzH5gty
390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU4OtYmlWFx
「嗚……！」390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNDeDSAwOIV
390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡisvtCOnGqQ
消毒藥水碰到傷口的劇痛，讓紫藤吃痛地叫出悶聲。390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEIzqYIYlaQ
390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGXMGP7ZXju
「很痛嗎……？」杜若停下動作，擔憂地看向紫藤。390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH6mNn3IpDH
390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhMyzK7gdcp
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。390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTj6Yqu5vT2
390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrgUVQywPkc
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。390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV0Qjc7u8II
390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcIFL0yBTrN
「……我還可以忍。」說完，紫藤打直手臂。390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeeE3m2HM1h
390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtXodLqAKOS
杜若點點頭，卻宛如做錯了事一般地垂下眼簾。390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyvzA5u5yPF
390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ57hTDvw1nA
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。390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTIzPtTLSpx
390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7y1Hvr641a
「那、再忍耐一下就好。」390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVnv31rINvy
390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV4XRdXhZTF
「呼、呼……嗚——！」390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWENnZfVmCU
390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNIne70HIfr
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。390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCJQzmAhFQf
390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeTlB5qPSCE
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。390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxo7M0qMyrG
390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBKBdrLJqcE
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。390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOEQMe2gY6v
390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡATN92b6x1s
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。390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOb0zXejdKH
390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSpRc8Zuzfl
「還要喝嗎？」杜若捧著還有一半的水杯，輕柔地問。390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmwVOagSAWC
390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3SgSQecA21
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。390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9zBZ1Uuws9
390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfJGM1vzFy4
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。390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwjUUFJLyLF
390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6CBCHVuvQO
「……謝謝。」390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnVvIOq3G8k
390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoIqUab71Ds
「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。390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGwZAgiZgmU
390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzuoy2ru5SZ
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。390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj5KkS0fphC
390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAvXp0zpHuE
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。390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu2yqGfuLhj
390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTkRGa0sOpv
不過，這無疑都是事實。390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfJju0AERdr
390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTdGx4hRjh0
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。390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyATtJ3ENhF
390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYqRGwTPGBK
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。390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTdWk8qFmgL
390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTwZ1uvdO8a
「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。390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBs9X9ucICQ
390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6nZ5RKXYDc
沉默了半晌，紫藤才慢慢地開口。390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQTkpCfMnfs
390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE8xLIWdwvA
「是我媽媽的遺物。」390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2WiaKWlYe2
390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLgt9IJR9Tb
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。390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP0sriU3LSS
390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ69XSH2qWo8
「咦……？那為什麼會在墨駒的手裡呀？」杜若不假思索地問道。390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3fJZPZTK5w
390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡREchOsRgjX
「我也不知道。」紫藤搖搖頭，黯然地闔上雙眼。390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIce9nBbO5y
390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd1pHDLQMkB
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。390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx6MU2bjQ89
390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyT2zE8Ihpl
「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：390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfi0bke4gAg
390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoUOyaKogqj
「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。」390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ381ivXv6j9
390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2KlDGjk63q
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。390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPnpn6xvShW
390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIqxCosWR3v
「這就是那時候、他們從媽媽的身上搶走的東西之一。」390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFruEB4UfMj
390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsWgud2sb6b
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。390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrM5UIlaiK5
390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKiT7DeiDDj
從那時起，濺在臉上的那朵紅花就已經在紫藤的心頭生根。390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvO3iaT2VjV
390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLW4umcQRbX
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。390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7ya0Qd37Wm
390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8WrJCDBTvf
「原來……這是對紫藤來說這麼重要的東西啊。」390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4E5TpQWBJN
390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKtF1Py2xv9
「嗯。」紫藤在胸前連同戒指握緊了拳頭。390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡABvt3lxLU9
390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbrNz5MsLGR
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。390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfWBLTt1xGg
390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVRsmswst26
自己已經不想要再失去任何東西了。390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFyVizzXE0P
390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ761xt1vm5
「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。390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6mVvGMVgMq
390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvwh8S6x0bc
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。390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXUZPlZxsqL
390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8yxvQG0jo3
「媽媽他——」390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuL4zZX3UY0
390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAvFC51dv9H
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。390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs680WjNeTw
390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡugWPQKvSn4
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」。390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC7111ymQ4C
390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR0TWvUU1Yt
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。390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAevWlHXkNI
390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSD18f93aL7
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。390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPfVqjXMWqQ
390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrVHnSAH7CZ
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。390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl3p7UdBMOz
390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxMkS8lIHgz
但紫藤一點都不喜歡學校。390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuaHABC0yPT
390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6Gmmv0mKMa
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。390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVCJMgWnmuZ
390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRrTQpxiQEZ
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。390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZbtQBdwMHz
390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7dVIo0brTO
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。390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLw4cAbHMKS
390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3YmyG5ewE4
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。390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrunSFht3JF
390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDhsR8UeKwU
嗯，這樣就夠了。那時的紫藤只有這麼單純的滿足。390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQm9UBs2bwd
390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgGmIAEBO8v
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。390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSwqBHGbmQf
390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡarEtUVSx5i
那是一起倒塌事件。390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgOXFUV7uEi
390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRz1O3J34PH
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。390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWlLYqkiWHU
390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7XacuHJn4M
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。390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsDQ9YyRfJm
390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXMvHNx3GNM
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。390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSnutvKCnCR
390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpToHnRqa3G
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。390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7Zf95mgEVk
390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOHK3t17nX4
「……我會找到給墨駒這個戒指的人。」390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8i9Urckade
390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7V5PdcoOUl
收起回憶，紫藤再次握緊了戒指。390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1K6O5ShDx0
390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHNtmfbgJlQ
「然後，殺了他。」390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFVYkYy7cvP
390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp0yCeGYQmL
紫藤的眼神猶如熾火，沒有一分一毫的搖曳。390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvQFvORjUPB
390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡImsaKZlcqH
但只不過幾秒，便很快地萎靡了下來。390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw58zMqXkw8
390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqyyifa5R2g
「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。」390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ832FY3Lcob
390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN7f81igDb8
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。390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZGS8kSf17c
390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdb140k0U5I
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。390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLC2egczU3M
390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP4nCDXATFV
「原來、這就是紫藤想要跟我一起行動的原因呀。」390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZoRDAn1aul
390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvCa9lmwWn1
「……嗯。」390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmgzcOBEXFm
390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvyRSTIPP9n
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。390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRSlpvqJV5z
390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsMeT80DX50
紫藤深信，這就是自己向那些骯髒禽獸復仇的楔子。390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8ncXyKMAdN
390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnfaJjcthMh
這就是足以斬斷自己心頭那朵紅花的白刃。390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlFSWFUmau8
390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4qOQcVEekP
「……杜若妳呢？」390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTY5vhr5ZXv
390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeDjsb5m3jE
紫藤拾起快要滿溢的情感，回望了杜若那如新月般的雙眸。390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf7iXrWktXr
390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb5p0yANIXp
「又是為什麼……會開始當殺手？」390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcqfyjU0wqS
390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm5O5WyyQVI
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。390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpDr7YI8LZO
390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ233tT2RJJF
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。390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqd2uZRCk2O
390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8aQoYu2jzG
「紫藤……不會生氣吧？」390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDEBN7n84zi
390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡav9zBHhyhC
杜若果然還在意著那時自己的衝動。390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTJPHW7riQ0
390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRB2T5QZER5
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。390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnUOjumgpLB
390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzjGCxMS5GY
「不會。」紫藤堅定地說：「我保證。」390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxzPkgga9xW
390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbNvfV3HNAm
等到紫藤緩緩收起手後，杜若才按著胸口，下定決心地開口。390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh1LuAUrMgU
390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOkejB9IH5r
「……我想要救陶壺叔。」390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrTSqmuf3cx
390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU6wxEGMWg0
杜若喃喃吐出的回答令紫藤感到十分意外。390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK2n9IsJPys
390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYHs2mQ7GUS
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？390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRbPp7C8XPK
390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNQV3WfhHXu
就好像發現了紫藤的疑惑，杜若幽幽地繼續說道：390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxFYGwFdlNL
390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBb8vfKWxCc
「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。」390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTMzvLgNhMF
390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8XNEXMtNvO
全身慢慢就會不能動的病？390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUebv7uaMDs
390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlOiLZeVDm8
這種病紫藤是頭一次聽見。390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnHjbfTa3Fa
390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOjdvM470R4
「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。」390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡijcUXp10Y8
390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfexAtMkaoe
「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。390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRcNbucYHEz
390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnYEFUOyhUQ
「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。」390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmhmNT5qRRE
390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnn1ud3Wcab
杜若的笑只看得見無力。390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWp3sDQJHCj
390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2pmCFprXGZ
「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。」390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhOWybQmYhz
390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp2c0IijXJQ
到這裡，杜若便沒有繼續說下去了。390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPqrF8mwUd9
390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2OzknCf7Fa
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。390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9C7h7MkyMu
390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMoVez3wXFU
然而，紫藤卻忍不住想要質疑的念頭。390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQyiCGPxjYl
390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuu78aEJE0i
「那個狐狸、真的就這麼值得相信嗎？」390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1nR6Wplq6r
390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcmubsFoaYq
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。390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0dFFK8RjbH
390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6Sz89zF9x3
「……狐狸一直都對我很好呀。」390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0lWmN7CnRV
390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡovi20gCxYA
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。390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVA08p1nMGl
390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEeg7bcuNwd
「所以，我還是相信狐狸。」390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYuQYL6lDSq
390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3jhhwTgebK
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。390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqanm9nHdPw
390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDxvdN8eEpI
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。390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoG70Uf90UN
390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZfb9TIDxXU
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。390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPd2zPUYsZd
390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCKVuM9VS4S
哪怕、就算那道光芒是朝自己射出的子彈也一樣。390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVWcW2XCNd8
390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP7JzhjiyAL
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？390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6jgDg2107N
390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz62z5R2wZ4
這怎麼可能。390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHL09ly8pHw
390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiOi7ou1BjB
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。390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH9K82KDOmp
390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOPW69lbqOo
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。390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTObxrGqBnO
390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡciQbSmxqhU
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。390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDTRrsbk915
390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡylrs7cchnj
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。390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5YH3jt8pDm
390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXEupsiOcil
察覺到掌心的柔軟，杜若看著紫藤靦腆地一笑。390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlUra6yoEp5
390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuA2qopnH8Y
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390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡovmZhJDEwO
390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡujT51HDSt1
「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。390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi0wApvsf6E
390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5wibLrLfsr
「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！」390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvfYzOS5lCJ
390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt5OGTu98k9
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。390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhOwrFD0Uvp
390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIQiFNQVaxS
「不過，果然還是不能夠靠沙華會的人呢。」390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj8DML7FPwg
390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaG3gt1XQB9
經過剛才被反擊的經驗，讓兩人都對這點有了更多的共識。390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7s0GEge6SX
390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoh2OvWTWfr
說了句「話說回來」後，杜若就一轉話鋒、向紫藤問道：390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2oU6vPdwuB
390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5gXqGXJdtG
「紫藤想要殺掉的人又是誰呀？紫藤還記得嗎？」390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrcYV8U4EFP
390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡibi6WjNjPJ
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。390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnWj0NwocJP
390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ76Z46cRnKJ
「是一個……在脖子後面紋著白色線條的沙華會紋身的人。」390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmW2XKSKxZ2
390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1qjJJAsoQa
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。390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOooArIO5uq
390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY4NIk4J37v
「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。」390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp6w7z0C5H4
390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwPmnmSTBq7
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。390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUOA7tn7Sj4
390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjwmK3dyMqV
「這樣的話，我也來幫忙吧！」杜若自告奮勇地舉高手：390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr4VEZWZFUB
390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGi8K2z20zI
「兩個人一起找絕對比較快的！」390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMwaBPzorYD
390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZtU8wWYna6
杜若的模樣、讓紫藤晚了一步才發現自己說錯了話。390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTWPDgq4yKt
390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx6iElhEOpH
紫藤默默地低下頭、沉聲回答。390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGOs6EhbCGY
390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE6WuWMCViU
「……不用那樣。我……我自己就夠了。」390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTkIojr5bTs
390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBCdCoXbCgl
這冷淡的回答讓杜若頓時像被潑了水的貓咪似地一愣。390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwVeBHvtYqR
390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJeytt9l97F
「可是、紫藤不是說到現在都……」390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY7UVtEmaHN
390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZM6oiLMlrm
「這本來就是我自己的事。」390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3KWvyGGXVI
390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtRneh4q7ej
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。390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPi5V5ciwZD
390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8P9niW4ZoO
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。390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH9lvflBPrG
390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbnqu75dZqh
「那要是紫藤遇到危險怎麼辦！」倏地，杜若站起身、提高音量390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKRRLSDArq7
390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ91Cbif5Udu
「我就是為了保護自己，才會去學習要怎麼搏鬥。」390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6vMRFgEeia
390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡghKu4u6h52
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。390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPyyCIltnSZ
390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnyhKA5JXjK
「可是、假如對方有槍、假如遇到像今天一樣的事……」390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKEhFTxjjYU
390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRrfes0AHLw
「我是不會讓自己被殺死的。」390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaaxgPkhFgh
390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoy5trej87D
「紫藤明明就傷成這樣、還說這種話……！」390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVvpXjcvNvL
390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzFUhTGMJY6
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。390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsK5G8QzOzz
390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1ojYbcTXPK
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。390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp9p8W5rZMC
390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4qRJrCtLNJ
杜若雖然想甩開，但卻在一半就失去了力氣。390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDIKIGE3nEY
390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKGLg0jbW3o
「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……」390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWJU9JiSvE0
390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEYcHgliAOP
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。390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwKejH9tM98
390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg5AZx4GOEJ
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？390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN1DwTIQlXr
390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnlsgAwp9N3
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。390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7WeL3hMBv5
390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnpfc3dpekQ
最後，紫藤還是用了奸詐的說法。390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLcMr8p1OPq
390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ40utJ3FwQ4
「我跟陶壺叔約定過，說不會讓妳受傷了。」390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN1IqwpW5bY
390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxIv9G4Wjbd
「那難道紫藤要我看著妳受傷嗎？」390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZeKwQeAyX8
390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZDaQMohWeL
雖然夾雜著鼻音、但這句話卻如此強而有力。390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgyT9UIEgdg
390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeqGE3hJ1qn
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。390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSOhsZ4cbai
390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxro7h496Tl
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。390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbSry8EtG0U
390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡudn1AKLTQR
而紫藤打算再在杜若的身上再添一層相同的痛苦嗎？390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡftuiyuccNn
390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8Zh8gRamsw
紫藤無法回答，只是沉默地別開了視線。390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiRpIQw3aZd
390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhpAHms3CpM
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？390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv3uzBTsLNJ
390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfrEzn9lR0L
哪條路都是崎嶇，哪條路也都是痛苦。390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoMqqK44XoF
390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxPorblu99q
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？390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡESYu1sdMPg
390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsYT7zCq7di
只因為就連接受也是痛苦吧。390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0SAAL1K03O
390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOlkPqBpgNk
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？390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6SyEIIgV7t
390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEhrsHP4mkO
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。390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXN1FlUruFX
390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyKEXymBPXk
思及至此，紫藤才慢慢地放鬆了手中的力道。390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBI19qgRksc
390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8HoUYhPbqF
「答應我、要先保護好妳自己。」390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3Sq1WhuMYq
390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtRFaHLwr0r
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。390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUWDjMcpY3j
390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡViJ5I4RCln
「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。390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhodcKRBXWr
390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk4njVoKghP
「所以，我的份就用來保護紫藤吧！」390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2VVBhtI54j
390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpZLaB6N1Kl
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。390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2sqCXuDlLG
390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFAIXlQDzul
「喔喔！紫藤笑了耶！」390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcsf81ieOEi
390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSstAfDTwng
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。390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0WpgTwaXbZ
390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡakNZxXAhFY
「哇啊啊——！對不起！」杜若立刻慌張地放下手來。390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtNJZDJ2nI5
390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9mpU6PxSVA
疼痛雖然還沒散去，但紫藤還是發自內心地笑了。390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPYiQyn9gm6
390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfjWsDDT9s5
「……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？」390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE17IjKVsmr
390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMGeSbSmNgK
「咦？」這提議讓紫藤也感到意外地眨了眨眼。390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqor1fpWgcV
390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6lpPUp84mI
「雖然是我自己猜的……不過狐狸應該很擅長找人吧。」390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9YvQsT9O3o
390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAT9Prff7W7
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。390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9wxsbUB5pQ
390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdAi0ew8Yk7
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。390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBRQmDbHf6V
390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbpQyK6UTyG
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。390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCQUQ2Zp9oJ
390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfZT9f96lm3
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？390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw8ERmqaPdt
390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyoeUNfmLPf
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？390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡODCFUtQBfV
390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6SFPXsX72I
「那……可以幫我跟狐狸說說看嗎？」390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB2fWnP0nC2
390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ37WM4H4fMw
「當然呀，這是我提議的嘛～」杜若自信地抱起手臂、挺起胸膛。390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy7rbzynP39
390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLVxS1JU4EA
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。390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIzoqwLquog
390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOu9NVIxdv4
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。390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqMlRep3Jxw
390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA0ptDccCjK
「妳的傷……換我幫妳吧。」390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5E1MUbL4g1
390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKhpptiMYyo
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。390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeZ1ohKzpQQ
390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡho32eNsWgX
「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。390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjhj5BFM3p8
390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGRHNUXQKkc
「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。390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr0807WQfA9
390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr0fZoCIUtH
「撕得開來嗎？」杜若看著紫藤有些僵硬的動作，有所顧慮地問。390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxD5RaB4jsV
390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhhgTajoclL
「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。390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKXMzB43pza
390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4TyXlf6mx7
「……好了。換膝蓋吧。」390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhTurmwnTuW
390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8seuVzXT2w
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。390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvAPGVP9Qmf
390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVOZUtvRyks
「我臉上有什麼嗎？」紫藤不解地偏過頭。390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5X5nbZU6BC
390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi2yYavHaLZ
「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：390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ25FKxyn9R4
390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡay7iAqt5R8
「只是覺得紫藤認真的模樣……果然好帥喔。」390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy0CKmOx6Pg
390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm6ZnlWQWR9
突如其來的稱讚，令紫藤頓時耳根一熱。390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlWsIGfXhVg
390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeLNSQjsqs6
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？390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvDRmQLtXhS
390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVXVE4QiO1G
「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：390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOEQi3u3VnG
390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQTKruzXlJJ
「謝謝……」390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZLwvGqATWF
390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ52bXIWY3FN
「嗯？」390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNtrdggIXtc
390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ06qC3B3iYW
「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……！」390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBhNfW7Xvqh
390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPnYvOGLkQE
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。390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3fFRc06m0o
390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfKz7q9fpSH
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。390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡituFy9Tg0P
390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2hOK77Xbsx
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。390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfVLgHXSBOt
390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrTnl0wXvjW
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。390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc9zfoXy4R2
390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJcsEZB8MMS
「稍微……稍微彎起來一點。」390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJlyGzfZrkC
390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSud0HPuCJH
「這樣？」390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMRF33kn5ja
390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd4GdKvczQj
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。390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ02ZZiyXHQW
390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDNQUW0WUs7
「……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。390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA7fVMiMbyi
390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIVZSV7uhqB
於是紫藤收起醫療用品，起身將箱子放回原位。390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeVeUmdXv9t
390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7rQNeRcESX
「對了，剛才紫藤提到的事件……」390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnhAaeAs4Ji
390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqyVGySIbSa
就在要踏出房門的時候，杜若忽然想到了什麼似地開了口。390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7ROWiothIY
390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9dwTSqDC2i
「事件、是倒塌事件嗎？」390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ69krWbKpZq
390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡilNoVQCTqs
「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。390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfVvhNB7g3U
390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaXrC8GZXRf
「怎麼了嗎？」看見杜若的模樣，令紫藤擔心地走了回去。390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5HEgubBX6A
390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ19OoNVFaeC
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。390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY99JL6DqAA
390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDMG2LqK407
「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！」390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlBRK3XsZTQ
390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnZ5okH9Y3x
紫藤雖然感到疑惑，卻還是沒有多問地走出了房間。390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj59o7FOQun
390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhXuWELQLCQ
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。390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuEJbXLcxne
390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCcI2d0G2cx
「我們……好像弄錯順序了耶。」390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuFWFlpxr0Q
390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEdvmEfztuk
「……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。390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgkCheJuA0h
390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAbHCsOw25e
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。390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpinioQh0Uo
390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtD6vVIGXHt
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。390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIoD0XoVzq9
390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8sr17Yowmy
「紫藤需要我幫忙嗎？」390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHttg27hl36
390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0Mx4n0JOSK
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。390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLOXUcuUnp1
390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmk5a2FX7Fo
「我、我自己來就可以了……」390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEgeGruoJ1S
390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡclykDARMbp
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。390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE3kGEq0TdD
390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLPXI4UbJAK
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。390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4LvIIspeYH
390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFGaNNUhoB3
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。390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3BrVdVVkEl
390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq4EgTcLMs2
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。390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6ILmvNhTjD

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。390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡonubM9g09D
390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxL71gSzdeg
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？390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqujMrbuNb1
390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvGHgAQ9PIq
「……紫藤。」390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkqvmsYwG52
390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmDtz2zOurN
「怎麼了？」390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK3RI937u8Y
390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6A271xiRIC
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。390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡde6G23NP7T
390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdyk14txnmG
「紫藤說、會一直在我身邊……我可以相信紫藤吧？」390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAXWrm3uwFr
390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpy4w8WjNPa
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。390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0RmWzH4BYW
390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcgb43U379x
紫藤伸出手輕蓋在了杜若的後腦，卻沒有辦法就這麼點頭。390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOriC9Yd5a1
390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4uhUQnedyR
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？390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZiAOUGkxKF
390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTuBvnWX4zV
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。390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb0kl3zvNNK
390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx6W7la4Wxy
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。390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI8TbQWrovd
390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdX9Q2AJw6g
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？390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF3hGvFCaMh
390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB16SRUoCrz
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。390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLYM2FibW0N
390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYJWVEetYRe
不過紫藤現在就在這裡。390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHJRa6086k4
390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbZu8YCdg6f
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。390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY3WVqWYLnr
390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3KcoO2jTey
於是、紫藤探出指頭，用指腹輕貼上了杜若的臉頰。390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqfvBXS9vBl
390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ25XP9RWhpb
「……我會試著做到的。」390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx4YozPn03V
390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzaimHXoVLd
「什麼嘛……」聽見這不乾脆的回答，杜若便沒輒地笑了。390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVh5Pltj3M3
390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcS8spsiw0L
「不過……我相信紫藤喔。」390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV9EwUkPU6T
390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeLxiukd4sN
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。390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzgb0EJisQO
390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYqcn9ginKd
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。390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJaJI0Fjan5
390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp0cSnD2gTc
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。390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiRx2jMkthR
390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWLFVF8LUQZ
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。390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGcf0beTNld
390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWSmO7xQwox
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。390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFjOMWAflz7
