迴響的隆隆聲如同夢境般遠去。380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzpmQZb5aCQ
380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMGAFkcY9qD
從開出的小縫裡，一道狹窄的光切開了無邊無際的黑暗。380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC3anB8Kv7w
380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGnOlK2Y74E
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。380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqm3Bef4GGQ
380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4irbfw1Cj4
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。380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeDueOqVtgX
380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMP4SalcoNn
連沙華會都靜謐下來，就代表連凌晨也快要結束了吧。380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc1mN89zBnR
380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVPHE3yE1M3
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。380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKpyLllH8y1
380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYUDX9WBDfK
「走吧。我們一起回去。」380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡawNhc76oWI
380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7NNr1R5apZ
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。380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPoSbqPoQ1a
380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxsaA2PIB0E
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。380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAJ7F44eUhO
380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzCmTiT1ABq
為了處理傷口，杜若讓紫藤靠到了床板上頭。380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡChvYwFONsp
380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYxgBO8deO6
「嗚……！」380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaJNifXQVEi
380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ429PpU7WHS
消毒藥水碰到傷口的劇痛，讓紫藤吃痛地叫出悶聲。380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbhZe01atPa
380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX0hd2zLR2J
「很痛嗎……？」杜若停下動作，擔憂地看向紫藤。380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsNd0YhhhFd
380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoLt6PVXl1t
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。380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD20P2T4HGk
380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUIN4ko66vO
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。380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIWI5YVlZym
380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjsi4vwlJZn
「……我還可以忍。」說完，紫藤打直手臂。380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfxb3JxQyp2
380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7BOsutBMrQ
杜若點點頭，卻宛如做錯了事一般地垂下眼簾。380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5EHfo5sxzm
380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ435ujvlnCi
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。380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZOGk9lUpth
380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsyL0hTDBuC
「那、再忍耐一下就好。」380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ8bs9ly9xT
380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCMysJfTAM3
「呼、呼……嗚——！」380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNDf55X9qlG
380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE3O9T4pjcI
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。380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoLBkgz7kH0
380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQfd3uVfqeC
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。380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWbWUvf7T77
380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb4AMJW2CGg
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。380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFHP40BJruC
380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOtQrATRbvh
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。380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWn0mWIpq5s
380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ48jVUIoMSe
「還要喝嗎？」杜若捧著還有一半的水杯，輕柔地問。380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNnMxbr7eN5
380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTOjWN3sGfE
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。380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1HYNvgcdO5
380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPaWryA3WFk
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。380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE76bWhVjrw
380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOKjntOeIry
「……謝謝。」380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLr7lhQBemg
380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNBTaUzbfjd
「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。380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq46cARzLxj
380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfa06OSO6RV
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。380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEYlRYx4ict
380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOgAvnG1SND
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。380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmEoGpqipBu
380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡufPujrgo4L
不過，這無疑都是事實。380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPlI4ondWwJ
380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ18UgPiHe48
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。380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnp0tYR9XhJ
380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhYSG8VNlR6
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。380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3q7z0rZ5m2
380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAASkell4Nq
「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。380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡksrdnsbzug
380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3313GYEP9H
沉默了半晌，紫藤才慢慢地開口。380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC7JMvD8aSC
380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKtp2rRPWms
「是我媽媽的遺物。」380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX3lPv7eSM7
380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5RU3NGe80p
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。380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHVrvKG51Ez
380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ04N7GDbkbg
「咦……？那為什麼會在墨駒的手裡呀？」杜若不假思索地問道。380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPLWj7Qlgmq
380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXYCEt6otab
「我也不知道。」紫藤搖搖頭，黯然地闔上雙眼。380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJuaFvVdhxB
380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO6UYUPh0jl
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。380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM35eoUWFNi
380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNsMDLdJ0S5
「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：380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQaz5qINtq0
380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWyvY6Nkvyb
「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。」380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHAuvB3ZudQ
380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3OSZ7xoRzF
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。380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7nloXco4DZ
380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv5O7XZ8ekH
「這就是那時候、他們從媽媽的身上搶走的東西之一。」380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3SvR37ooQm
380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoFEgVETV1S
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。380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf1Xcu65QkJ
380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7So2I5icO1
從那時起，濺在臉上的那朵紅花就已經在紫藤的心頭生根。380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDAVHmd6F25
380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk3fwS2Z9PE
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。380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqt6ZtNQmJg
380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4UZp4cE7el
「原來……這是對紫藤來說這麼重要的東西啊。」380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy1rPmeHo5F
380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjcTzdlsQlH
「嗯。」紫藤在胸前連同戒指握緊了拳頭。380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNuCtuDnICW
380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvXXSW6pLoL
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。380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD8YmdHRcna
380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZSplNHuZ3Q
自己已經不想要再失去任何東西了。380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSVMaPoaDic
380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpq1SjdDGt7
「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。380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3CEmqYrb9Y
380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRRNW9WmUNd
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。380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV0E6ImOc2C
380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtSzEWgO6Iw
「媽媽他——」380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡymLt9v7q7l
380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEUImZt2Jko
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。380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHqvHZuzRbP
380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU4PmOnWYAM
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」。380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlk3fpsWx5l
380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaa1lggOGUE
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。380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0vpnsaj427
380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6o9AQ7LpZ3
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。380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzTerNTYN9P
380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDccHZPpzyI
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。380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTIGf80WfXI
380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRG4x5hmvkt
但紫藤一點都不喜歡學校。380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF9mNhQ0deV
380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQYm5ercrea
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。380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQvnZTvOmBr
380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8RPQZiIbMv
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。380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvzKAWW8c7L
380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd5MdJbeGQe
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。380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIUL4quiSSW
380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2606wzCAfH
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。380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe46x1TiSsw
380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx8xbN5ju4s
嗯，這樣就夠了。那時的紫藤只有這麼單純的滿足。380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ7m5RMz8d1
380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXIFqFBb89n
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。380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2xMuMlTHYH
380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWWU4OfNdQa
那是一起倒塌事件。380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaG7EUZu5RH
380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPiL3FU0FIN
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。380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrfgMc09PRT
380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp03wlbhwFO
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。380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT301Jg2QWZ
380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN0ah52nyFs
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。380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjOQz1EYxwA
380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1TZOgM0dHK
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。380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC8fBNofogi
380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIs8pdTvWLC
「……我會找到給墨駒這個戒指的人。」380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2b4IQnIUzU
380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaJzMtImYvV
收起回憶，紫藤再次握緊了戒指。380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3utQwQvzbJ
380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsYoI0hNmwH
「然後，殺了他。」380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy7B53lPBH8
380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP3DepLB6kZ
紫藤的眼神猶如熾火，沒有一分一毫的搖曳。380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWlSfnG8lSW
380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlCwUITBNGC
但只不過幾秒，便很快地萎靡了下來。380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEiqIa5Nyiw
380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhEzGTvyGM3
「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。」380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvyTXCQtuTR
380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPou86CXk3i
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。380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNwfG3y4dij
380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqTvm7R2SEk
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。380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXJnRDpPwLZ
380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡixCDYbnfjd
「原來、這就是紫藤想要跟我一起行動的原因呀。」380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8FzhBOxTE5
380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG0K5DG3ZY9
「……嗯。」380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ3l9wrEkq4
380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSVGbIWOSm3
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。380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGTqFO7CqjN
380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8VAS4LNOtu
紫藤深信，這就是自己向那些骯髒禽獸復仇的楔子。380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4d9ov9eEl5
380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡibiGciRbFt
這就是足以斬斷自己心頭那朵紅花的白刃。380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgzNk6dkR0d
380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP3gUJpkzZO
「……杜若妳呢？」380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ2odh8mrv4
380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ18UPQycOSv
紫藤拾起快要滿溢的情感，回望了杜若那如新月般的雙眸。380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3mZmWfyKnf
380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwNLYA1vS0f
「又是為什麼……會開始當殺手？」380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMXsIu14tQd
380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcbd2ofUUpz
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。380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6MZDJDYvkS
380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnMmHibPVLP
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。380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBZVaNmH5V4
380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg7Y0GviC5L
「紫藤……不會生氣吧？」380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡugUKNsnEFF
380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8zVYicExvP
杜若果然還在意著那時自己的衝動。380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrZzJfPUhNk
380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdZ7bVXPjiz
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。380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡejNPxMcwt1
380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjof5k7uck0
「不會。」紫藤堅定地說：「我保證。」380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSqX2phkSaG
380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuHdA8eXzU8
等到紫藤緩緩收起手後，杜若才按著胸口，下定決心地開口。380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN7bqpyAmIr
380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ0XEAxrIaR
「……我想要救陶壺叔。」380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPLob92j5AQ
380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlo9ca6xxNT
杜若喃喃吐出的回答令紫藤感到十分意外。380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRimbciR3x6
380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcWj9AM8bDy
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？380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRPFQhbPzwP
380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYcpcJ9pCWB
就好像發現了紫藤的疑惑，杜若幽幽地繼續說道：380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXtU3DYXaUA
380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOHLMnHE0DX
「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。」380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHNR2DMoKSU
380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtskCAG7otw
全身慢慢就會不能動的病？380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCPQkS13q8Y
380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhGn8TtmLcD
這種病紫藤是頭一次聽見。380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeUyy4Y0C9T
380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNlrQOjDQKJ
「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。」380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwmSwdVQzcB
380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmAPi7KK2ER
「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。380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx4gIn8HCpm
380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL55SjpTTpz
「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。」380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzAg5m6tEnJ
380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmc05Dpfq7S
杜若的笑只看得見無力。380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZMHiboVLGe
380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4CYnSflOY4
「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。」380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6JtgnfBMcl
380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc5z1ZeeHcN
到這裡，杜若便沒有繼續說下去了。380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ20SeemmLqN
380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhvDCwCjz9R
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。380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwZe4JL0jTn
380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5nQap6WykH
然而，紫藤卻忍不住想要質疑的念頭。380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjpUmxGheA4
380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjltlTdqW7C
「那個狐狸、真的就這麼值得相信嗎？」380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiMitOkzWr8
380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb7epN5ybgb
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。380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm3PcXKI8Wu
380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWF0XseKw1k
「……狐狸一直都對我很好呀。」380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBxoeXgufLt
380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZi6xKelpmu
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。380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXZx4A4akQD
380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi7HDS3Y2V4
「所以，我還是相信狐狸。」380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMVN7gYmEVJ
380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ683YIUvc1q
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。380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡumIGXnl9SI
380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwNBcf3wJ79
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。380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9weOvGzHxF
380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjvitMt4HpZ
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。380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHMyb8eY1zt
380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ83gBNcEBzG
哪怕、就算那道光芒是朝自己射出的子彈也一樣。380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLAIviv1Jtl

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？380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtx48ScZM0S
380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzR2I7C2TZ3
這怎麼可能。380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvTqwl4CkHA
380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6KbOkCSxXD
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。380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8Z3hCsMuXW
380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYc1wLzT017
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。380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuIl1FvcYLq
380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA4Or3MaQoI
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。380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnaoKqvl5vi
380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaN01X2TCal
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。380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDupCeKDQah
380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡArOekvXHkM
察覺到掌心的柔軟，杜若看著紫藤靦腆地一笑。380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZQbLzgtRA0
380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBnkz5zM9l5
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380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8Ge57kieO1
380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdRZNfkMplm
「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。380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq4tuvBHUEm
380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ2wN83sdtI
「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！」380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnVYgnijWRW
380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡODb3bDOz87
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。380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6knqJRz8CI
380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtqiF5DCKLq
「不過，果然還是不能夠靠沙華會的人呢。」380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYpo4A1rbiM
380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡND2riDMijp
經過剛才被反擊的經驗，讓兩人都對這點有了更多的共識。380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPvbm1m1lnm
380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdf83VDoV3C
說了句「話說回來」後，杜若就一轉話鋒、向紫藤問道：380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlbuupIOEzx
380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡforAVPYff2
「紫藤想要殺掉的人又是誰呀？紫藤還記得嗎？」380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpluUS4WZ5W
380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKCDPBBYiHZ
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。380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5hTn7EsMQd
380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI2J96XyBl0
「是一個……在脖子後面紋著白色線條的沙華會紋身的人。」380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEhcuOUHWRk
380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe9ufkkt20I
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。380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR6KBV4JeIQ
380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr9TNeuUixf
「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。」380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDcf7NGBwSS
380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWFi0Dt8yd4
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。380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwTZE8tLI9a
380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz4kZud97yf
「這樣的話，我也來幫忙吧！」杜若自告奮勇地舉高手：380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8T7urJyxuQ
380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEomnAdeTF0
「兩個人一起找絕對比較快的！」380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ0Owmx9hFD
380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5mvYdswauG
杜若的模樣、讓紫藤晚了一步才發現自己說錯了話。380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHKUz7RtKmy
380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsjEOqDVl2Q
紫藤默默地低下頭、沉聲回答。380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3NIKhvzhon
380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw1v617PT0r
「……不用那樣。我……我自己就夠了。」380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM0kg8zQb8L
380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP6A9U8NWD6
這冷淡的回答讓杜若頓時像被潑了水的貓咪似地一愣。380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1PFbcSSMou
380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyhceJZOgpQ
「可是、紫藤不是說到現在都……」380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSBtkNP7gDZ
380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWwnicrvx3G
「這本來就是我自己的事。」380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoHenHJluoU
380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS5H49n9fqi
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。380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZEm4clvWAV
380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGkLeV1X5tL
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。380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVwA1B5MOr6
380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsU9hE7U8k6
「那要是紫藤遇到危險怎麼辦！」倏地，杜若站起身、提高音量380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1azUEvXXyq
380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0jIu0EBSsk
「我就是為了保護自己，才會去學習要怎麼搏鬥。」380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeAqWVo48az
380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqXd4g7QWjN
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。380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDn73dHcCzy
380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlrvVzIDcsn
「可是、假如對方有槍、假如遇到像今天一樣的事……」380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6ePUub1oBf
380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhEVmoHYYh0
「我是不會讓自己被殺死的。」380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXlB3Q99Syt
380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcRyy4ShrsC
「紫藤明明就傷成這樣、還說這種話……！」380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuc7pDBpgJA
380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEAVz3lJNrg
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。380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvs1w4PNAsL
380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVMySOx1Gs1
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。380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbz1GrecZyA
380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTOswZqM54H
杜若雖然想甩開，但卻在一半就失去了力氣。380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3el8e8ErqQ
380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKXZ7wuPCms
「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……」380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8r5nIMBmIk
380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQOzIgcNysz
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。380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtMmAY4j8I0
380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYeck5xP9Cx
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？380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRugDZyQnIM
380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZHK4g4B3L2
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。380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoniDxiGGNg
380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXxdoXUJGTf
最後，紫藤還是用了奸詐的說法。380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6YhpJcOXye
380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjzX3d1FIGd
「我跟陶壺叔約定過，說不會讓妳受傷了。」380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLl8xaujt2J
380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAcFCsCKUNC
「那難道紫藤要我看著妳受傷嗎？」380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWKKNKG7IFM
380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc4gIfHIr9v
雖然夾雜著鼻音、但這句話卻如此強而有力。380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEcG5HsprPl
380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm4uYVUcevM
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。380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMBM3dx8hZm
380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnnorzv7Ltc
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。380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh0CIShmhnQ
380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2iuIvFS3gZ
而紫藤打算再在杜若的身上再添一層相同的痛苦嗎？380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9GsLCDzf2V
380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ78215c1sKZ
紫藤無法回答，只是沉默地別開了視線。380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjf1aRt7K0I
380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLnGAdSQBvz
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？380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5vPMwPZob0
380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmmF0pxX6BR
哪條路都是崎嶇，哪條路也都是痛苦。380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPjvk52rHLj
380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC6CtqQ6CRw
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？380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkQYkYqKrC1
380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡujr2YEEwhr
只因為就連接受也是痛苦吧。380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3qmuoGSP5K
380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUtHdRC40ha
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？380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwsGDFZlT1l
380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxFAnatnABx
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。380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6WurTGbYqf
380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA7Lf2O7vXJ
思及至此，紫藤才慢慢地放鬆了手中的力道。380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhIarc1lNY6
380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5D2QBdGgLV
「答應我、要先保護好妳自己。」380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHRfGiW9Ydv
380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7frStNK6Fm
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。380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIijqQwrHOE
380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5k8EOYmqQ4
「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。380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbgTS7wPLcr
380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh2LBs7UBLO
「所以，我的份就用來保護紫藤吧！」380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCbIBkUyW0f
380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyUUcTnyuxU
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。380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0pr9jrE8DM
380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCJJcdJiY3Y
「喔喔！紫藤笑了耶！」380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQQhtjbFeOD
380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL2ekyDsiLg
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。380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxRbqb8o0iW
380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ2XlJTDyc4
「哇啊啊——！對不起！」杜若立刻慌張地放下手來。380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIsuwhJNUvx
380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJEWmChtYFf
疼痛雖然還沒散去，但紫藤還是發自內心地笑了。380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVaY9EmiNqq
380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡde5CqOoMwB
「……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？」380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP196ae1tYA
380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhiFewjuXrZ
「咦？」這提議讓紫藤也感到意外地眨了眨眼。380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡicquOrfIL1
380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDK24ZoGBA0
「雖然是我自己猜的……不過狐狸應該很擅長找人吧。」380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKmRBDnPLE1
380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwYhWQICOAb
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。380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd2HlwC06go
380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0kzm35fJBY
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。380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpm8Fn5xvRJ
380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOPwPmvNmLg
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。380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB6idrpnnYC
380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYtbyUmtkES
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？380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZv0gIuyxfk
380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe66jGzBDuO
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？380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxgED8KpqkT
380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrvjIGsXaTK
「那……可以幫我跟狐狸說說看嗎？」380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOj6HBXXYLR
380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQjBLC9IkDr
「當然呀，這是我提議的嘛～」杜若自信地抱起手臂、挺起胸膛。380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSC1f2Kicmj
380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwseUXgwTso
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。380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSlDfsCB8wU
380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsGv2SXYY1q
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。380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMsmIqwobXF
380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEcWEOBfhPx
「妳的傷……換我幫妳吧。」380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp4krpECVW3
380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwkqFaKKOyk
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。380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqyCM60p3av
380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTGKomEd5dt
「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。380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0of6uUTsyN
380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO9tgLLZjCd
「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。380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxwTTNorXvJ
380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKjywv6IGqc
「撕得開來嗎？」杜若看著紫藤有些僵硬的動作，有所顧慮地問。380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpTNrA44Awl
380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5xk4KKBFXA
「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。380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKGTzXLrivw
380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTAOyfiSx1z
「……好了。換膝蓋吧。」380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1HhbA2cubC
380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCXqIAnSy2f
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。380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbbTj2jxq8A
380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT89kxc2GuH
「我臉上有什麼嗎？」紫藤不解地偏過頭。380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLK7okvYLr2
380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGi4nN7GRIr
「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：380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi2AMJPoIIq
380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwQgALXtR4P
「只是覺得紫藤認真的模樣……果然好帥喔。」380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAvD3CsLrpN
380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdNfwo9VACZ
突如其來的稱讚，令紫藤頓時耳根一熱。380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvACC57AeSO
380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE7NEBf1eLW
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？380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy4bIWw50z9
380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqA3H7gCBlX
「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：380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2Iqp5ge7a2
380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXeq0zEc2Ui
「謝謝……」380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV8ooFN7b11
380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyEffVSpCgG
「嗯？」380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeKc94leEwQ
380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnupgy1cj2k
「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……！」380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8HY1pqwZa5
380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8LUJ6Ju87e
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。380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKbKc7O89qC
380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiQrrapOCER
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。380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhfGs7k53L2
380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJyZHp9dNJ2
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。380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYQM1JkYDbX
380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR9YweS92aI
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。380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHbsNSltZG4
380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWGKrVxwuTZ
「稍微……稍微彎起來一點。」380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8Hra0F7Rx3
380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyZIg0o0uA5
「這樣？」380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIAXTGstEDb
380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSnTODXPik8
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。380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSYGEzUBpdg
380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnjRLgQVXFb
「……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。380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ39gvUIN9Rb
380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8rAAc4hGvf
於是紫藤收起醫療用品，起身將箱子放回原位。380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9v389Wk1J5
380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡawNmMG1WEt
「對了，剛才紫藤提到的事件……」380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ26hak8HoP
380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJZ6TgvlaWP
就在要踏出房門的時候，杜若忽然想到了什麼似地開了口。380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFcK9LbrpvX
380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0lMSt7c4Og
「事件、是倒塌事件嗎？」380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzci3s0Rjx8
380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWv4ViIoxKx
「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。380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnUvCR6dgFy
380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuUpSPRpX8a
「怎麼了嗎？」看見杜若的模樣，令紫藤擔心地走了回去。380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX9ukp3YvF3
380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1oxSvGxcSE
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。380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkl0vS7UHRc
380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOczsDxchfz
「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！」380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsxToab8YZD
380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa7oIr1cwgh
紫藤雖然感到疑惑，卻還是沒有多問地走出了房間。380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmq2tfWzC3u
380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzF2FzCNDV9
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。380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2wZ7pQBUw1
380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvJUYopOqsJ
「我們……好像弄錯順序了耶。」380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqLaWxrm3IK
380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZgFzrJmTxk
「……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。380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiMW1OL2Apy
380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM3WxRgHZES
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。380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaMwih0jR1G
380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXNawF4YtOE
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。380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf4bF8hH3yB
380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCKLlp1otSB
「紫藤需要我幫忙嗎？」380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9X9o3vzNmC
380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgYyDThvoJJ
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。380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsgcRCeknUQ
380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXZ2OZSGNoV
「我、我自己來就可以了……」380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv6rWzHFXWm
380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaD1LNKRIRw
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。380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH9NemglRZx
380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaPS5mQ91Q1
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。380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz40SdggGbc
380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4MCo9OW7GQ
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。380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqrzrFol2UC
380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAmv9qDTUHY
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。380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkjeVNzUUer

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。380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt3e7unJvO6
380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtPiTGYO5Aa
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？380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBMKsDjq1c8
380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUaPNHQ4UHJ
「……紫藤。」380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXlbIngqxBj
380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3UfWCoV7Dy
「怎麼了？」380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjRwsASqUMD
380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTT5xWcQ1mE
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。380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvyJ7rVoqfs
380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtoeZ7inMOk
「紫藤說、會一直在我身邊……我可以相信紫藤吧？」380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaazyBiFaFp
380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXRzI2EZ8GA
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。380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4g9FsZsa0N
380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbNBAIhxhXn
紫藤伸出手輕蓋在了杜若的後腦，卻沒有辦法就這麼點頭。380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrqJmzETFIs
380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcTOre39ZiN
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？380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV59jl3coVe
380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIyiX6QdPBp
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。380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqIJtJ3RhBB
380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlXSdG329LR
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。380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWCsXJPpz3S
380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8VZcqI6C12
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？380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR83xGUxptE
380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwFzeLCHG0z
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。380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIeRM9ebJJt
380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZbCdbHVfVg
不過紫藤現在就在這裡。380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcCfxqE7K4G
380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoXucGtgPl9
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。380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK8A2CCGvhP
380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJP36Dw6JSY
於是、紫藤探出指頭，用指腹輕貼上了杜若的臉頰。380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRECBjYBJUV
380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡje9R43HR6T
「……我會試著做到的。」380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzGKrO7RQU1
380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKa6rdfiE3u
「什麼嘛……」聽見這不乾脆的回答，杜若便沒輒地笑了。380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEbaq0BnTx5
380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIu86XFIQPC
「不過……我相信紫藤喔。」380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0jD75BlAFy
380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQRBJTIgPRj
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。380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiZT6FfSSuW
380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC82seEy3kY
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。380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkdUqIdBf2M
380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc3H61Nsa8W
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。380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS3htUITZXS
380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT0lbhA03OZ
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。380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDwKyS2yFYD
380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZqVFW0PUY5
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。380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4R3qrvZoMq
