迴響的隆隆聲如同夢境般遠去。438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiMW5m8BJBF
438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTCd4KnMsZK
從開出的小縫裡，一道狹窄的光切開了無邊無際的黑暗。438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM6MhU624Bk
438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9x2ZSCekep
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。438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaulCK1K0oS
438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxXvqHSabK7
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。438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQouWV2ryhL
438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBdLJ3Ns8nl
連沙華會都靜謐下來，就代表連凌晨也快要結束了吧。438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVVeMsBgEr8
438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9kXUnWvJBi
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。438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL9zLcEFEoq
438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVLCLRgB2C3
「走吧。我們一起回去。」438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgSH7zY7pBt
438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKbFkSzW7Ct
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。438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxAIRddCAxI
438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ62CeQ7gi0S
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。438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX4A74Sfjpq
438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBjLyiykcez
為了處理傷口，杜若讓紫藤靠到了床板上頭。438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡshh26pStOs
438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSz9Es1RjSu
「嗚……！」438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpCga88gfuM
438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg8mWxXGZ5Y
消毒藥水碰到傷口的劇痛，讓紫藤吃痛地叫出悶聲。438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRDozy3U8eK
438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7xPQnmxWRZ
「很痛嗎……？」杜若停下動作，擔憂地看向紫藤。438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvCWG7ePGOv
438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkdlColCbXc
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。438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡldfshuUAkf
438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhzb8J5sxAI
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。438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡabcHT0yCAu
438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYplNsS2x3n
「……我還可以忍。」說完，紫藤打直手臂。438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOu1OwvyR91
438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp0SYvofQNv
杜若點點頭，卻宛如做錯了事一般地垂下眼簾。438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ89r3fLT3es
438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡff1NIXKYRl
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。438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtLLw1i2DAb
438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNI3lGMqx44
「那、再忍耐一下就好。」438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb6KunDqqyo
438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNNv41z1JcU
「呼、呼……嗚——！」438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1GIA9PGVe6
438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6NJrMqftX3
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。438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlFd6yW8hwK
438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2dZl0IRAGU
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。438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5G1Uzbtuyt
438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwR1fEJW2eF
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。438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0vprV8TECJ
438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOmmfs4yNAF
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。438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3G4GlGVMQc
438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSErX1gA96H
「還要喝嗎？」杜若捧著還有一半的水杯，輕柔地問。438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCS4z5bpTlu
438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ000sAyUBkj
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。438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAjIOiZcnUx
438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZuFlPaDCWQ
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。438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTa89VDGsy1
438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUWOQrsnOef
「……謝謝。」438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZxiVUcw8hk
438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc1kCML1mFW
「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。438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4H8Awgmqtw
438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi7zXQ2jIQu
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。438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPYqFnQ8Fnh
438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYM22afsiii
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。438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXXWhK98xXV
438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNEbOiRXlZs
不過，這無疑都是事實。438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPiEbT91E5R
438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZrE1WslxKU
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。438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZdS88phy8G
438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcSyuheaqRY
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。438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVtvQy28b6K
438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcDTYukwgSx
「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。438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCjcgBL0l3m
438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9GQqngawrh
沉默了半晌，紫藤才慢慢地開口。438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDsAgPW9Ypt
438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvg4ui3Ezxb
「是我媽媽的遺物。」438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbyfXkDnEmt
438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaaOzhfEnq1
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。438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiSrGDJDa6w
438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfz7xOmJn8T
「咦……？那為什麼會在墨駒的手裡呀？」杜若不假思索地問道。438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFAOespNojC
438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqzK0p5O9o2
「我也不知道。」紫藤搖搖頭，黯然地闔上雙眼。438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2HYUoS0iY4
438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyuJiZiPE9a
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。438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgM0Kz9xZRn
438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8V09dnaaSM
「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：438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2HxxKE0J1r
438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfnCI7hHS3c
「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。」438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFyRLAM8mHO
438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFtpifXieif
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。438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvaB2Shc2I5
438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡabomCpGs7t
「這就是那時候、他們從媽媽的身上搶走的東西之一。」438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW15YFujXWU
438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXAQkgm3k18
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。438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCYSQCfvDLE
438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJzpPEMTbGs
從那時起，濺在臉上的那朵紅花就已經在紫藤的心頭生根。438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4gdNzFzagn
438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkQV0dq2kYN
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。438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡudEcEXEiFW
438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlyu1s9I3S4
「原來……這是對紫藤來說這麼重要的東西啊。」438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUBW7pbYrZt
438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxsfAPTfuBj
「嗯。」紫藤在胸前連同戒指握緊了拳頭。438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQujj8pMEj4
438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW0VgDt734M
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。438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡusHVfYiztV
438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUu5Y4rAobD
自己已經不想要再失去任何東西了。438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOqKx98nB8C
438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ8VaGGfHcr
「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。438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHptW323ZY9
438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmbushj6nFp
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。438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnnrN2oAUQs
438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUvx05bnwV4
「媽媽他——」438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMopmTObqKL
438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlFOpg8FmpO
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。438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEDFY5qA0Uo
438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5rxcGcohdu
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」。438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZLW0JwkL0f
438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF0gfEMLAyU
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。438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ1THn2L2ru
438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpsd5fMkTis
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。438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDVM4qveUbf
438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8OihdyKeDB
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。438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡitk4HBihwQ
438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4lu3OtBHnN
但紫藤一點都不喜歡學校。438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzuRiZkBCFa
438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtLmUAaHial
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。438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLQpz3H6WOg
438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy7zDRcuGCR
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。438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWn9r72a460
438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY7yNQiXGbr
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。438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzlhKVWTuEK
438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaO8bRvwovz
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。438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK6wSqIlLsN
438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡemXOhaic8Z
嗯，這樣就夠了。那時的紫藤只有這麼單純的滿足。438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsvVoy7oote
438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN3mWvi6A1L
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。438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCH5ThfNX6L
438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrrJD5JlGzK
那是一起倒塌事件。438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJgtsHboses
438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxXONlAD5bX
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。438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7xXwF65Sya
438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJXwzTCM1ZK
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。438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6DpezGCemI
438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF7q0r949eo
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。438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGPLb6ixQwl
438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8b7soJNapG
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。438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4LGTB1DioX
438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0HFbz1QYxT
「……我會找到給墨駒這個戒指的人。」438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ93DLdwRi09
438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj8zGAiVnLG
收起回憶，紫藤再次握緊了戒指。438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxRGLU8A75H
438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡloGgoNYaT0
「然後，殺了他。」438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1cAYzApTsc
438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTwDf4gpZUQ
紫藤的眼神猶如熾火，沒有一分一毫的搖曳。438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfOgjD3nzwH
438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4gpTQK5IVJ
但只不過幾秒，便很快地萎靡了下來。438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡomUSGThSzs
438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiNhpYaLjv9
「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。」438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqFEZkDhteh
438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd0gynklM5p
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。438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgZJJcH48LB
438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5XErBaBlFQ
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。438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFNSEwA1Hcb
438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHOhGBcLbZU
「原來、這就是紫藤想要跟我一起行動的原因呀。」438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1L0dhKfrUk
438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡipEelarJOm
「……嗯。」438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlWauPqSkjY
438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHcJp2R2UZ9
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。438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgXXiqW9WYL
438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsb9xzx0saF
紫藤深信，這就是自己向那些骯髒禽獸復仇的楔子。438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJkJmYZhVPk
438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTvEeVe0xfR
這就是足以斬斷自己心頭那朵紅花的白刃。438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgBNMHMLv8v
438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3s2zGmS4au
「……杜若妳呢？」438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgnxJQCFMtK
438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpYJYiPJbX3
紫藤拾起快要滿溢的情感，回望了杜若那如新月般的雙眸。438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkJOpWWzOXm
438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqDXB0t1mtn
「又是為什麼……會開始當殺手？」438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKhoAYf5mxj
438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgHWnisJuDG
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。438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnCA0hUMC66
438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtG9bxV4P5q
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。438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTeJscFkEJ8
438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFKkQ17vhVF
「紫藤……不會生氣吧？」438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtQjK01ZLTw
438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL45oZNal7l
杜若果然還在意著那時自己的衝動。438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZrKhadLU2w
438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsExIBq3QT5
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。438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJPZg3Fkokk
438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWedgHPqblG
「不會。」紫藤堅定地說：「我保證。」438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡweqkJ8Bvs0
438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVbNcVnYO7E
等到紫藤緩緩收起手後，杜若才按著胸口，下定決心地開口。438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgAWULMwGPT
438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAG53D629qq
「……我想要救陶壺叔。」438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzCFh7QNkFA
438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMtMpwS8CaU
杜若喃喃吐出的回答令紫藤感到十分意外。438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJfdnH8hvcu
438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjICL1FhqA6
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？438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3Iw9lS4w5X
438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaeGfgsKT6b
就好像發現了紫藤的疑惑，杜若幽幽地繼續說道：438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEDzOOPlFcX
438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyc3pk54Okk
「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。」438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8eOg80IAy8
438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAMJdn0albC
全身慢慢就會不能動的病？438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0IcYZDwYrp
438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn0mTM9NqFx
這種病紫藤是頭一次聽見。438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj7C0vsIeGt
438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2QGCt6yC8n
「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。」438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzJWQUTvu7a
438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc2fd9TYWin
「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。438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡenYLVujFD7
438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7KJo0oYush
「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。」438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtxubLPYO63
438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuEKFY2bja4
杜若的笑只看得見無力。438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZecxTRRgeo
438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3b02iXwLYa
「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。」438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9dlqweK8uP
438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmkigpzcXI2
到這裡，杜若便沒有繼續說下去了。438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyag145Y7LG
438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbnhxZnFLuZ
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。438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFa3tDoJYqs
438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcu1SuTGOtk
然而，紫藤卻忍不住想要質疑的念頭。438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzOPdUQdh5f
438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZdXeYZBRBf
「那個狐狸、真的就這麼值得相信嗎？」438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiiMYtD6sqS
438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsPaW9DS2xo
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。438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCmOUChFNea
438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ5jxLlgIbj
「……狐狸一直都對我很好呀。」438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4sB41d85Cm
438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8UDRWW7cWK
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。438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSH2NFtMZSQ
438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpiS3h4QYuY
「所以，我還是相信狐狸。」438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡamtdp5QVF4
438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfntISjeFRj
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。438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWpTQtZjuj7
438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdLFKVhsaKs
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。438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAioiAFUdaT
438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡop6YE5eiVo
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。438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ91zzCEUbab
438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxoSLihR6wS
哪怕、就算那道光芒是朝自己射出的子彈也一樣。438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwuQs4B6jLn
438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZlVywq8FhQ
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？438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwfgSg16XSj
438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ433n5QjaGS
這怎麼可能。438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQmoCv6TW9k
438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcG1OLG76G7
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。438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqyJqFokAnf
438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCy6zs244vU
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。438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX6SIWHyfFv
438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR4sPsVwsZK
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。438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsGRosz1yXN
438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwaZvfqZeUf
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。438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhB8l75N28x
438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY1M4RsgTYe
察覺到掌心的柔軟，杜若看著紫藤靦腆地一笑。438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡquBecJuAUX
438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPLw3QcFkIK
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438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmi0hZzmABA
438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfiQPifl7oQ
「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。438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrHuNPcuKgo
438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtowdOkhUMB
「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！」438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp9AnEbH0q8
438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiswThcPzpp
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。438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrEOdMTIaYt
438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCg3ogrTfOS
「不過，果然還是不能夠靠沙華會的人呢。」438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhNTyDOli4c
438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfqXrEn6WE8
經過剛才被反擊的經驗，讓兩人都對這點有了更多的共識。438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2bV7fup2Dy
438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfiQbFVkibE
說了句「話說回來」後，杜若就一轉話鋒、向紫藤問道：438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZwAMRf1oy6
438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlLatB37ysf
「紫藤想要殺掉的人又是誰呀？紫藤還記得嗎？」438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOQOsD4mJf3
438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjXr3VXHewG
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。438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYmRdPyi0rX
438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1T05D7Mzco
「是一個……在脖子後面紋著白色線條的沙華會紋身的人。」438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc0DhQkgkTt
438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgFr3tr4YH2
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。438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡydmO0qjiuQ
438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqBrK2Xqm29
「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。」438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjR2MQLw7ul
438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVR0gmzQ5dm
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。438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSmPm2vII0B
438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr9ZO2qOIcc
「這樣的話，我也來幫忙吧！」杜若自告奮勇地舉高手：438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBm4zlnhAzE
438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4hFEXcuAFM
「兩個人一起找絕對比較快的！」438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp3iCHP7xIK
438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcimEIbRCJ2
杜若的模樣、讓紫藤晚了一步才發現自己說錯了話。438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKqQpFJYePg
438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9OPz5YW7oO
紫藤默默地低下頭、沉聲回答。438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8rHVjxo6Hb
438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZwf25GP4XB
「……不用那樣。我……我自己就夠了。」438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk1uEo1vTNI
438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcIYI8bTbof
這冷淡的回答讓杜若頓時像被潑了水的貓咪似地一愣。438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVc8qacTByZ
438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4ubTr4LG9J
「可是、紫藤不是說到現在都……」438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLCjHtkSnjJ
438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGymH9oFwjK
「這本來就是我自己的事。」438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQHp9XCJPNZ
438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNdOwzHDCnV
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。438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBNSHJ1sjJ3
438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ03DeXojueg
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。438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwGr7H5C74u
438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ71bfx1bXY0
「那要是紫藤遇到危險怎麼辦！」倏地，杜若站起身、提高音量438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNBPkWZzZ3n
438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡelhCIz3IDt
「我就是為了保護自己，才會去學習要怎麼搏鬥。」438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoVy4z1XkeZ
438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ62q4lxuz42
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。438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX3jr7QtxN1
438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCE3yhcdrjp
「可是、假如對方有槍、假如遇到像今天一樣的事……」438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKB6OJzLaO4
438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQy6BJPsF8v
「我是不會讓自己被殺死的。」438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4d6prJ5uW1
438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiXSn33TOQV
「紫藤明明就傷成這樣、還說這種話……！」438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGr1tsQVlOm
438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvCP2tOSaPY
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。438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ1hjQrzzQ5
438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqLO1XahNGh
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。438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAwE0xzEXwx
438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgz4ZlkmZGs
杜若雖然想甩開，但卻在一半就失去了力氣。438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdyfzOhD40N
438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjyUtsiBl8j
「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……」438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2iUSFXyy7o
438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGV7ZRan6Dj
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。438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG2vr1eDecx
438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7UMKXDwFM9
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？438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX4GAi0pLbg
438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxy8X3ORznl
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。438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU30NnNe4LG
438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGDS7Li2HhM
最後，紫藤還是用了奸詐的說法。438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxcW0mFEU1s
438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8gEnhXzmiF
「我跟陶壺叔約定過，說不會讓妳受傷了。」438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9LyfePuVDN
438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkNqRjWZJXR
「那難道紫藤要我看著妳受傷嗎？」438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbCMmhGc4mp
438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwPPLOIETtu
雖然夾雜著鼻音、但這句話卻如此強而有力。438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyTUsB3YXX8
438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmI4E6x6Bfx
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。438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLhFKN1OfGN
438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCjMg6CxHAX
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。438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwhromjoWuZ
438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDk9PcqAJGE
而紫藤打算再在杜若的身上再添一層相同的痛苦嗎？438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8SZcyy0W78
438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9hMWoVM4z3
紫藤無法回答，只是沉默地別開了視線。438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwizx5mQs0C
438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvY6UFEZuDL
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？438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYWlbHXXTnH
438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2EVAN7rnDO
哪條路都是崎嶇，哪條路也都是痛苦。438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyepiiDIawQ
438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnClM13lb12
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？438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfVqSLjwgdF
438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDgXw7rDYMl
只因為就連接受也是痛苦吧。438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6jpcSGWkjO
438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡViJ7roA6Yd
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？438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWM2rsrCfpP
438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ06SXXpoGtc
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。438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDrS2UD6HjG
438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBql5j7qz4R
思及至此，紫藤才慢慢地放鬆了手中的力道。438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRG9hD0C8S6
438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcOMKuoxz9k
「答應我、要先保護好妳自己。」438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk8F4Re8rku
438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuIl3URo6Bk
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。438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbSr9RN1GcN
438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMvZoy4j9n5
「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。438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDh6AT1gp1z
438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7B4nLaZlXi
「所以，我的份就用來保護紫藤吧！」438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ63EJuq7WZt
438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCw9qbdTGvH
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。438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSxA6PNkytb
438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxlMam6HTJw
「喔喔！紫藤笑了耶！」438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvN6neR0shA
438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNU1dzKvlGC
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。438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTrPf8dkyKK
438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyhn7CJEY3Y
「哇啊啊——！對不起！」杜若立刻慌張地放下手來。438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2jeXFKc81b
438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyi3qjFSw2m
疼痛雖然還沒散去，但紫藤還是發自內心地笑了。438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6usHZgsFD7
438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWJ2x0BGSVg
「……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？」438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkEgcDN0deK
438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRx3scUtieB
「咦？」這提議讓紫藤也感到意外地眨了眨眼。438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsgA2Qmbght
438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM4daOSnDBp
「雖然是我自己猜的……不過狐狸應該很擅長找人吧。」438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9Ry7ajbYlP
438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAbuEI7AdQ9
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。438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcCE5DllfMA
438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFAjrL4tSfb
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。438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡormyFDDzZT
438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgbF5xTop8D
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。438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSRtajtp9Yt
438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡclhIgmKnHn
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？438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5RNS5UT7qi
438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡddwUD21T8z
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？438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc6UnD5e40z
438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVLqEteJCjt
「那……可以幫我跟狐狸說說看嗎？」438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4VYzmmexNj
438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxvLvgoXeai
「當然呀，這是我提議的嘛～」杜若自信地抱起手臂、挺起胸膛。438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPYCZvVsFKo
438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMJxlZBK7y5
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。438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdoTyyN4ngH
438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3n5qwbzmdy
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。438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡae0VUAOvXi
438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZISaFRGEgn
「妳的傷……換我幫妳吧。」438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6KxHAkxNJ2
438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIJe9WOGfBM
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。438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcAyWgESL81
438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp4SdrqOhmt
「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。438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWjm3ZCYAJZ
438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFpL89ihxGI
「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。438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWdHUiLgKrX
438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIh4klC3vBR
「撕得開來嗎？」杜若看著紫藤有些僵硬的動作，有所顧慮地問。438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNhvv96rOhz
438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqi4jY4ptGa
「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。438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgHCW7hXi19
438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5nOvAHP1oT
「……好了。換膝蓋吧。」438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1iMlVdx0Cn
438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzFas05DXzz
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。438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjpUilFMsFL
438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeHKgpMaMjg
「我臉上有什麼嗎？」紫藤不解地偏過頭。438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSO9NrVdlQl
438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsJNSS4pkwo
「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：438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNUdijWaoU0
438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI9u6ZOe4gu
「只是覺得紫藤認真的模樣……果然好帥喔。」438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9WWEXEn2zN
438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxfYxWRMIUh
突如其來的稱讚，令紫藤頓時耳根一熱。438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlRvLULVAAB
438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYxIeG59vOo
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？438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQPH8heqsvR
438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNCeEZL8ncC
「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：438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs3FyvyYfRK
438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu7ZTN8wdZW
「謝謝……」438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNRtB6XMB3n
438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX2GHDJRFmm
「嗯？」438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVAC0kahoLk
438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMw53t4AL2j
「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……！」438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6BBjZrI6EZ
438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8Ptr62gYo8
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。438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxYDRB4ZYjD
438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkMjWB6pD4J
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。438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPkYutzF7Va
438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ68N5THuUJF
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。438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5rpm94r5jq
438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKaqzMsullN
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。438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSBZBz0FKcT
438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfaKCwuAj9f
「稍微……稍微彎起來一點。」438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWG2I4OUGx2
438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhYJHqpUsuR
「這樣？」438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqN7NxqsPIm
438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwMbhBellDT
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。438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaLn2qrWWeB
438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZZWAOY8YUa
「……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。438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtMgv9chm8r
438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUaHaS22cvC
於是紫藤收起醫療用品，起身將箱子放回原位。438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFRuwnGiQns
438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM2y18pFsTB
「對了，剛才紫藤提到的事件……」438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlEVtEY6YVK
438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyt1o55CrOS
就在要踏出房門的時候，杜若忽然想到了什麼似地開了口。438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxaYl7eYX5c
438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡinxBLKnKfb
「事件、是倒塌事件嗎？」438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8kF9U5BU8D
438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzc4K12Cx8c
「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。438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxbs9SiGLEj
438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP1djHshiJc
「怎麼了嗎？」看見杜若的模樣，令紫藤擔心地走了回去。438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG1sO0T3wKz
438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFSHhSUwyNi
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。438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ0CCyabAO8
438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZvvNfsKAX7
「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！」438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1fyFaXWiaf
438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjfLuRUdcsy
紫藤雖然感到疑惑，卻還是沒有多問地走出了房間。438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiePWeWweDI
438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡniWOJyTsrV
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。438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVi2Cyf9lYL
438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeuLxJnfiH2
「我們……好像弄錯順序了耶。」438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe8DfTTWQnd
438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjZ2etPm5DJ
「……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。438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv0SRnxRgJA
438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUjBB127Z3Y
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。438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg3NLDCVRXq
438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡchh1kuj0Ns
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。438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBi2nJuP6rO
438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW2DexKIL25
「紫藤需要我幫忙嗎？」438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡft1rxLh2Pp
438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡczGQ05xwZh
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。438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnCkeeELjco
438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkNBLSjnTZw
「我、我自己來就可以了……」438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxbfF0d8qyr
438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ02XaPrM79O
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。438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpLwTxTtYFi
438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnHX9wpovtg
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。438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrIGhe32QJl
438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdRgx9ELYMb
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。438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIDXf9Ryuy6
438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyZiqinAZzG
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。438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmZbLaplgIp
438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLxx7hPKl7b
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。438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZjq1P0Lp7y
438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz1PZwWj4nE
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？438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIwEiTE46c2
438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwJ8JlhklfY
「……紫藤。」438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡirHxl2WzG3
438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrjiPxBpdyq
「怎麼了？」438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIE6Zvi0C5L
438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0UhKWpC9Gy
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。438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBdowBF2U4H
438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsXshF0N86Q
「紫藤說、會一直在我身邊……我可以相信紫藤吧？」438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAmFMwLV4PW
438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWhMtTO9dRP
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。438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGfL05Kxoio
438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡADAWSJolKJ
紫藤伸出手輕蓋在了杜若的後腦，卻沒有辦法就這麼點頭。438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqbGLV8LXhx
438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtuJBjYbEdE
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？438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQwhm7tRvFE
438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL80mv8tlhO
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。438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO5K0lX7Hhq
438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBdV0kHwBtH
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。438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7UJPCBBij9
438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFF5HC0HiK8
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？438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJWMqDU1iXW
438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkR21V2K9CY
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。438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGLXnojRXO2
438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEJErVhU5VX
不過紫藤現在就在這裡。438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjNt5OveE7Y
438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjv3BHpVolS
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。438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYGR0gtpaBF
438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3Hlkx8jtLQ
於是、紫藤探出指頭，用指腹輕貼上了杜若的臉頰。438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP59KPvi6iy
438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLzroV9my66
「……我會試著做到的。」438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7Y3vor0PKQ
438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcPLahtQeAK
「什麼嘛……」聽見這不乾脆的回答，杜若便沒輒地笑了。438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeT3aU0ypHc
438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ12vjo5RDzG
「不過……我相信紫藤喔。」438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj5rBjhPygi
438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkRlvYSBH7L
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。438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG6ctAQtflB
438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBe2fmMLZEB
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。438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTvim1ng7Sx
438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAkBXMZbF1M
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。438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNKlL6cfHqe
438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpuyHfOYEmw
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。438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEW4pV3IkuY
438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMk1QtT6VJk
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。438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkfPiUklEM9
