迴響的隆隆聲如同夢境般遠去。433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9HB8G8qEXy
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiSb0VGgije
從開出的小縫裡，一道狹窄的光切開了無邊無際的黑暗。433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3ULjS078MS
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfhKyN3oIkl
杜若四肢著地地爬出櫥櫃，然後回過頭托著紫藤的肩膀離開那片狹小的黑暗。433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCcmD9MJqB5
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxEDjw8bzXl
兩人並著肩在階梯旁仰起頭喘著氣，久違地照進眼裡的燈光刺眼眩目，但再怎麼說也比不見天日的黑暗要來得令人安心。433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ34k74V2UnH
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZFrsaZRopg
連沙華會都靜謐下來，就代表連凌晨也快要結束了吧。433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7PSQ3E4eGm
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYNP7Qq9qt7
就連喘息的時間也如同光明般狹窄，兩人不可能在這再休息到早晨來臨。於是，杜若一感覺到力氣開始回流到四肢時，就起身伸出手牽起虛弱的紫藤。433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlRWUTzMNU4
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEDxURfjPWl
「走吧。我們一起回去。」433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1mZ93ObIuL
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbzawOBRdGL
這麼說了之後，杜若便鑽進紫藤的脅下，用窄小的肩頭努力撐起紫藤向前。433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfZxELa7InJ
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkRStiru31K
一路上，兩人就這樣攙扶著彼此，幸運地毫無阻礙便回到了西區。433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7d6vlHTHbm
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVXP0UiOjx5
為了處理傷口，杜若讓紫藤靠到了床板上頭。433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSAVle9tREX
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡar3ZDaYJ6s
「嗚……！」433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkRDCAuRvMA
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4lwELmVq5B
消毒藥水碰到傷口的劇痛，讓紫藤吃痛地叫出悶聲。433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZNTy1nb6Fs
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUb5PgJPAFx
「很痛嗎……？」杜若停下動作，擔憂地看向紫藤。433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjt1g4qQdd3
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE5bVelYd96
回到西區的路上，紫藤甚至虛弱到就連話都沒辦法說了。所以哪怕只是一聲也好，杜若也想要聽見紫藤的聲音。433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTJuCB37fUe
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ299NgnY8eS
而痛楚彷彿把紫藤的魂給拉了回來，宛如大夢初醒般地看了杜若和手中的棉花棒後，紫藤才喘著氣、略略地頷首。433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpuhY63lKwV
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu5kZrALleq
「……我還可以忍。」說完，紫藤打直手臂。433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzmMC09JSXl
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS3cQtHNiqN
杜若點點頭，卻宛如做錯了事一般地垂下眼簾。433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEe7Di7mxpE
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIg0wxSErbD
如果不是自己想要聽信墨駒，也不會讓墨駒有機可趁了——但現在後悔也沒有用，照顧受傷的紫藤才是眼下應該做的事。433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIPJrfRCcww
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdUgLy110cf
「那、再忍耐一下就好。」433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmueNUd94Uy
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQPUizvWAFj
「呼、呼……嗚——！」433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6oVmlN3E2C
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY605aQ0UGB
紫藤試著吸氣來緩和疼痛，卻還是沒辦法不吃痛地發出聲音來。清潔並上完藥後，杜若小心地用紗布蓋起那道駭人的傷口並纏上繃帶，原本純白的繃帶立刻就被染成了一片暗紅。433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ4JedEm0rS
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvRVn22vuKg
現在只能做這樣的應急處理，等到明天還是得去醫院才行。幸好公用醫療箱裡頭還有這些基本的醫療用品，不然就這樣放著傷口，今晚紫藤恐怕連躺下都會有困難。433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqyAtuZaPn5
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx57WxNPmv0
疼痛過了幾次呼吸才終於緩和下來。杜若拿來水杯靠在紫藤的嘴巴上，讓紫藤小口小口地補充水分。433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWjehKG6hBY
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaD4d6bZYsf
滋潤冰涼地滑過喉間，直到此時、紫藤才終於有種放下心來的感覺。433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMCWHVLHxLn
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7bkZAIOgfr
「還要喝嗎？」杜若捧著還有一半的水杯，輕柔地問。433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZA5WTgRjpY
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQExmAN4HWx
杜若關心的神情就好像是流經喉頭的水那樣沁入了紫藤的胸口。於是紫藤點點頭，再次把嘴湊了過去。433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv6hYbBQEES
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHHkg2J51fS
等到杯子空了、正想伸手擦乾嘴角時，杜若就先一步用手帕抹上了紫藤的嘴角。433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAu7FrUrO84
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPNAoRIjUPq
「……謝謝。」433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQBi5lOCTIb
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0p4mmK22Tc
「不會啦，現在也輪到我照顧紫藤了。」杜若收起手帕，露出了彷彿可以烘乾衣服的溫暖笑容。433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRS9nxmkHAH
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzo5p9WI0kA
明明、對方不久前才在自己的面前殺了人，但現在看著杜若的側臉，紫藤卻盡只感到安心跟鬆了一口氣的感覺一湧而上。433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeohnriD6IT
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3df2VNruMy
是自己終於開始習慣了嗎？那時，紫藤的手上就已經流滿鮮血，卻只有砸在墨駒臉上時所沾上的溼黏感格外鮮明。就好像在入睡前的一場夢境，令紫藤感到有些恍惚。433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW270hd3ovJ
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG2ybeF12tK
不過，這無疑都是事實。433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVuphus2S60
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeVFJTZf6jX
掌心中，那枚墨駒沒能拿回去的、鑲著淡紫色寶石的銀戒就是最好的證據。433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA85bkPg8s7
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3Skpo1GMzO
紫藤壓根也沒想到有能夠尋回這枚戒指的一天。對紫藤來說、只受這點傷就找回了它簡直是太划算了。433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuzMheq77P3
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYWAmX667DD
「紫藤、這個戒指到底是……？」杜若好奇地看著手中的戒指，疑惑地歪過頭。433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSK0vC9lvXB
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdWNv4XpdzI
沉默了半晌，紫藤才慢慢地開口。433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0xbbSi96GZ
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM5lUjzjnPi
「是我媽媽的遺物。」433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKymK8syM3S
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPHat7OT4bP
戒指的內緣刻著一行寫著母親名字的小字，證明了這就是那枚獨一無二的戒指。雖然紫藤對父親沒有任何印象，但母親卻經常以懷念的面容提起關於父親的事情。433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1AIspx2G7l
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3PJpAe9dI8
「咦……？那為什麼會在墨駒的手裡呀？」杜若不假思索地問道。433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjczvOEdd8c
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnuKTHGG0lC
「我也不知道。」紫藤搖搖頭，黯然地闔上雙眼。433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHcAjLh53H0
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW7mM22WrNR
紫藤從來不曾對同輩的人說過這些事，但現在、紫藤卻覺得讓杜若知道也無妨。433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3NED1qU76k
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd8BoG9GjVN
「可是媽媽他、就是被沙華會的人給殺死的。」就好像在試圖壓下傷口的灼熱似地，紫藤輕撫著前臂的紗布，緩緩地繼續說道：433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvO4YK1zTej
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsBRbVE1mlF
「小時候，我的媽媽曾經向沙華會借過錢。但最後，媽媽卻因為還不出錢來……而被沙華會給殺了。」433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUrL3BKZnbW
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJwxjOgqCoy
媽媽並不是沒辦法還出錢來，只是在最後一刻、錢竟然被劫走了。紫藤怎麼想都覺得奇怪、為什麼就這麼剛好在那種時候？如今，紫藤認為那一切全都是沙華會的伎倆，他們根本沒有想讓母親還清債務的意思，只想在那一年裡壓榨完母親所有的心力、等到沒價值了就宰殺掉而已。433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJV6m78BKOW
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYCCtA8P6VF
「這就是那時候、他們從媽媽的身上搶走的東西之一。」433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVwtZu9msZD
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHF5YgSj9cF
紫藤至今——至死都不會忘記母親在自己的眼前被殺掉的畫面。年幼的自己只能無力地躲在一旁，看著母親殘忍地被一刀刀殘殺至死。433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHTTWSfUQus
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1XCjg07kZe
從那時起，濺在臉上的那朵紅花就已經在紫藤的心頭生根。433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7qqy67iUPP
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7S0uGRrzme
只是，紫藤也從未想過竟然會在途中找到母親生前的遺物，紫藤覺得自己簡直幸運的無以復加。433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpBdJGBTQMZ
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9zKd025etV
「原來……這是對紫藤來說這麼重要的東西啊。」433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgB7Osfa0WK
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrm64hhrYdU
「嗯。」紫藤在胸前連同戒指握緊了拳頭。433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfgeIrjcB2p
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmr8DLeu1Zo
對紫藤來說，媽媽所留下的東西沒有一個不是珍貴的。無論是這個房間、髮飾、還是這枚戒指，都是媽媽曾經存在過的證明。哪怕再也微不足道，紫藤也想要盡可能地將它們攬在手中。433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5R079V9gjT
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbv2aYkxx3c
自己已經不想要再失去任何東西了。433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMKsHHxpmYx
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHWXqHvQCeX
「紫藤的媽媽是個什麼樣的人、可以跟我說說嗎？」杜若露出了既好奇又害怕冒犯的眼神、試探地探出腦袋。433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9TW8DZyBpp
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMDeYTZeF0K
紫藤思考地垂下了眼簾幾秒。而再次睜開眼時，紫藤已經將目光放到了不知遙遠的何處。433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiNDblWhsBM
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhg68lHKtlX
「媽媽他——」433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH9afcjiNCM
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOIzQLHi8A4
以這句話做為開場白後，紫藤便將那些早已被自己翻到泛黃的回憶給拿了出來。433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwZMku1aaQh
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS8QHUldceX
小時候，紫藤最常從街上的大叔大嬸嘴聽到的一句話就是「跟媽媽很像」。433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBP65JeJLbx
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZTQefUAuJY
同樣有著一頭的黑色長髮、話也同樣不怎麼多。而唯一不同的，就是媽媽是個非常堅強的女性，總是用那粗糙而修長的手把紫藤給攬在身後。433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJWWoNvK1hV
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhnDChvN6cL
而媽媽在南區有間小小的、買賣布料的店面，小時候的紫藤最喜歡的就是跟在媽媽後頭一起做生意。儘管有時候會因為笨手笨腳而挨其他大叔大嬸的罵，但那卻是紫藤最為快樂的一段時光。433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV6gKV5XbMU
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmRdZd7jNeO
只是在紫藤逐漸長大後，媽媽卻漸漸不希望紫藤跟著自己，而想要把紫藤託付給學校。433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgCXgzo7Lnb
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5WGe3uq8xx
但紫藤一點都不喜歡學校。433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdtDA65YKAr
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH4wNfaGg1Z
比起那些吵吵鬧鬧又喜歡惡作劇的小孩子，紫藤更喜歡跟在可靠卻寡言的媽媽後頭，幫忙結帳、整理或是裁剪布料。433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPsbRJUSDDf
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOlAAyXxZ0J
對當時的紫藤而言，媽媽這麼做就好像是想要把自己給拋棄一樣。433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtUbP47oW4x
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ40Z4qJocbF
於是紫藤頭一次跟媽媽吵架了。那是一場紫藤單方面地對著媽媽出氣的架，從頭到尾媽媽都只是靜靜地傾聽著紫藤的任性，偶爾像在思考著什麼地低下頭來。433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtTyjazjB9P
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo39loIoW3J
而在那之後，媽媽就再也沒有要紫藤去上學了。只是摸摸紫藤的頭以後，就像以前一樣，讓磕磕絆絆的紫藤跟在自己的後頭做生意。433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡapE8EuR040
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmUkVRpsdXh
嗯，這樣就夠了。那時的紫藤只有這麼單純的滿足。433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3GFFIF8HAR
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFGu84Az1AO
然而這樣的日子持續不久。在一個秋天的傍晚、鉛炭鎮發生了一起極其嚴重的意外。433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3GAw0z1diy
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0h8jTi9b4P
那是一起倒塌事件。433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4i6u3fIM7S
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡinTB3FtYvl
由於鉛炭鎮的樓房蓋的十分緊密，因此只要一棟樓倒塌，便極容易引發連鎖效應。那起倒塌事件就現在的記載，足足有將近二十棟的樓房倒塌、傷亡數更是難以記載。433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH4EziCV1sh
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgQJv0CcJMs
雖然沒有受到倒塌事件的直接傷害，但媽媽的店面卻因此全毀，讓兩人頓時失去了幾乎所有的財產。433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPmq2eCFkzV
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUD0JgDeCfm
那之後就如紫藤所說，媽媽為了生存而選擇向沙華會借貸。在那一年裡，媽媽幾乎從未闔眼休息、只為了賺回損失的財產。433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIvVU0ZIxAJ
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡniDK0Q7oST
那時的媽媽早已面容枯槁。而殘忍地將其心力、金錢、生命盡數奪走的惡意，正是沙華會。433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBfKllHAdKm
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoleQMJai6E
「……我會找到給墨駒這個戒指的人。」433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrTUq6xIrdL
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIN5Hq0peHp
收起回憶，紫藤再次握緊了戒指。433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8PQsZoHOau
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXSX70Lk3ml
「然後，殺了他。」433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDaigYx2oZW
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAfrhzeLyuv
紫藤的眼神猶如熾火，沒有一分一毫的搖曳。433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXSrSiCAigv
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ32ZdZqn6uK
但只不過幾秒，便很快地萎靡了下來。433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl8sGiKcXep
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYoMUFQcXh9
「可是、我卻下不了手。」紫藤無力地鬆開了手：「不管怎麼樣……我都沒辦法像杜若妳那樣。」433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzQ3VtAo9Fn
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXypKIR1zJO
明知道沙華會是惡，紫藤卻無法真的對那群敗類下殺手。也許正是因為那時媽媽遭到殺害的畫面烙印得太過深刻，紫藤才會下意識地抑制著、不讓那副景象再次出現吧。433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUJKxxk891W
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9alQMicgoP
而自己的這份軟弱，既沒有人可以幫助紫藤克服，也不會有人能夠理解——除了杜若。433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOcOF99CYkW
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkIM16GWI5L
「原來、這就是紫藤想要跟我一起行動的原因呀。」433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡknkqwhKamy
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ30zftdGFYf
「……嗯。」433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUsgCpjgRwy
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFrA6vqt2nT
那時見到的杜若是如此純粹，就好像一把剛從水中淬出的刀刃般，不帶著任何一絲污穢。433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK9RR8rpDF3
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoAXUwpqDSd
紫藤深信，這就是自己向那些骯髒禽獸復仇的楔子。433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡszFZX5S7I7
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5SFfQjgvxq
這就是足以斬斷自己心頭那朵紅花的白刃。433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDd1wbOHXVW
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8deRMvwgYy
「……杜若妳呢？」433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTWHuNxxgkL
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgII7jjbiI9
紫藤拾起快要滿溢的情感，回望了杜若那如新月般的雙眸。433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhHl7TzRmet
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW7iIq9y1EX
「又是為什麼……會開始當殺手？」433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtcXEpYk6Ah
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkwbQMfFrAV
剛才、杜若確實說過想要請鎮裡最好的醫生，但杜若看起來並不像是患有什麼嚴重疾病或是殘缺的樣子。433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo6xWepWOZR
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWU67zm9HAe
聽見紫藤的疑問，杜若就好像是在思考、也像是在害怕似地垂下了眼簾。433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ0GRGUxpe6
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkbCNzh8J0O
「紫藤……不會生氣吧？」433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo3VpzgQTfQ
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzo3M69AnCO
杜若果然還在意著那時自己的衝動。433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQDxlyD1FRQ
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6lykelhXxi
但如果是要請醫生，怎麼樣也不會是做不好的事吧？紫藤這麼想著，舉起沒受傷的手摸了摸杜若的頭頂。433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBlZrI59R0u
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeqlWS8xob5
「不會。」紫藤堅定地說：「我保證。」433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJsU0ukvMjX
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV3Ulg8KESi
等到紫藤緩緩收起手後，杜若才按著胸口，下定決心地開口。433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDjM1VAMTix
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa4MpuBQMKj
「……我想要救陶壺叔。」433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡne5Qt03NBo
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6JlH3WhnXO
杜若喃喃吐出的回答令紫藤感到十分意外。433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmwC3Q71FWO
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZSIgJOYli1
之前見到陶壺叔確實是在北大街，但陶壺叔本人看上去並沒有多大的病痛呀？433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2t8oRDVm8F
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1uINfw8fAo
就好像發現了紫藤的疑惑，杜若幽幽地繼續說道：433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0xeh5Cwpnv
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp1ZX29OY01
「陶壺叔生的是一種會讓身體漸漸沒辦法動的病。醫生說，雖然現在只有手指，但很快就會變成手、腳、身體……最後是心臟。只要過不了四年，陶壺叔就會被那種病給殺死了。」433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG2QkbMfAm4
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzJ5Gh1FKPO
全身慢慢就會不能動的病？433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHdkz2QnZC9
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxowGprTlbn
這種病紫藤是頭一次聽見。433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdVNgzUONd1
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ43u1z7N50O
「我也偷偷問了很多醫生，但他們都說那是一種沒辦法治好的病。明明是這樣，但陶壺叔從來都沒跟我說過、還一直都笑著裝作沒事。直到我不小心聽到其他醫生跟白鵑提到陶壺叔，我才知道陶壺叔一直都瞞著我。」433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcdXGLqrWal
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8gsd2gmbin
「現在陶壺叔已經沒辦法走很長的路、也不太能拿重的東西了。」杜若的口氣變得哀傷起來，卻也有一份同等重量的不甘心。433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJmZnnYpgSh
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvQYmLeAdP9
「我明明也想要幫忙陶壺叔的，可是、我卻不知道自己到底該怎麼做才好——因為就連醫生都沒辦法了嘛。」433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdNxEqhO4iN
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgEd3OF6qlK
杜若的笑只看得見無力。433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9YjDJM7HQV
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCJieXQpAN7
「直到有天，狐狸告訴我說她有辦法，但前提就是要幫忙她去殺掉那些人。所以，狐狸才發給了我這把槍、還有手機。」433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVioUia5Zw5
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5EahWOFqrM
到這裡，杜若便沒有繼續說下去了。433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4rcqnojblu
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwgmwIdYk5n
並不是因為仇恨，也不是因為利益，而只是單單地想要為某人而付出。杜若的理由就跟個性一樣是如此單純、甚至令紫藤的胸口刺痛。433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrpOJLj501l
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe4FBQxo8qb
然而，紫藤卻忍不住想要質疑的念頭。433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX4SJ6ZXRei
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡORqIiZWaMt
「那個狐狸、真的就這麼值得相信嗎？」433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡktQMkW3ZyU
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuoS8IJmkPo
如果就連鎮裡最優秀的人都沒辦法了，狐狸又怎麼可能醫好陶壺叔的病？再者，就算殺死的是沙華會的人，讓還只是女孩的杜若去持槍犯險本身就很荒謬。433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAL267JN4Fg
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP3Be9BQIwC
「……狐狸一直都對我很好呀。」433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpF0dbs6mPG
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhYm2Q54e9J
杜若笑了。卻讓人分不清那是真的笑容、還是在故作堅強，讓紫藤的鼻子裡無聲地滑過一陣酸楚。433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4ZpRijNdbl
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9GzKKl0Hfh
「所以，我還是相信狐狸。」433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDcjL7MN34a
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDLQQ748V45
杜若就好像在對自己喊話似地緊緊握起拳頭，但小小的手中、有的卻只有虛無。433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhLIVRHP9FD
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbAUo6ZphMp
也許這麼說太過自以為是，但紫藤從這道笑容裡看到的並不是想要相信、而是不得不相信。433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7IdLR7yUgS
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwt0W09XdLJ
只因為狐狸的許諾是杜若的最後一絲曙光。所以杜若除了抓住它以外也別無他法——僅僅就只是如此而已。433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVK7P9WAn0t
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhaHOcaRqpn
哪怕、就算那道光芒是朝自己射出的子彈也一樣。433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOrzMj0YTNi

紫藤也曾望著母親的背影被偽裝成曙光的惡火給吞噬殆盡。但只因為如此，就可以不負責任地說聲「放棄吧」把一切希望給澆熄嗎？433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC5LbMBi4Vd
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn4uajZLDm4
這怎麼可能。433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzoBlt1Lr2v
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFNl2mJRHir
沒有人知曉光芒的後頭是陽光亦或是惡火，但倘若停止腳步、也只會在黑暗消逝。無論是誰，追逐光芒都是與生俱來的本能。433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAckuiYnUji
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsP1mar93uR
看著杜若緊握的手，紫藤便不捨地伸出手、略顯生硬地鑽進了那冰涼而纖弱的掌心。433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡao2Jk1vUJU
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8JZaWVTv5X
也許，杜若一直都是握著這樣飄渺晃蕩的希望走來，但起碼現在、紫藤能夠確實地握住杜若。433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7FXsQcjD2b
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡldUab9cbv3
如果杜若前進的方向是惡火，那紫藤就要在最近的地方拉住杜若。433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLME5k7a3dC
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbqohDTOEQv
察覺到掌心的柔軟，杜若看著紫藤靦腆地一笑。433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeX8p8aSDB3
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHpiCD0adLZ
轉動手腕、解開五指，那份只屬於兩人相握時的溫熱便從掌心蔓延到了指縫433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlrmNnh2vuz
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMLpjqLRtdN
「但就算這樣，我也還是想自己去試試看。」經過短暫的沉澱，杜若再次充滿生氣地抬起頭來。433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZP62y1PvLu
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ2O6WUuYIl
「我想只要有夠多的錢的話，也許就可以把大家一起找來、找出能夠馬上醫好陶壺叔的辦法了！」433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ367cdmIpyx
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtEZudH23zu
剛才籠罩著的陰鬱被一掃而空，杜若看著紫藤，露出了開朗的笑容。433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNdVHE01sCY
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmemsHrtmyy
「不過，果然還是不能夠靠沙華會的人呢。」433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD4ERGrcqgX
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKiEutpHCxs
經過剛才被反擊的經驗，讓兩人都對這點有了更多的共識。433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBbi5BCQgF5
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDETaWJiyYW
說了句「話說回來」後，杜若就一轉話鋒、向紫藤問道：433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwP9zAp0S0l
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ65USM74qqP
「紫藤想要殺掉的人又是誰呀？紫藤還記得嗎？」433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEyk8MlHc6a
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0KkbZBHsMg
這問題讓紫藤才想起自己從沒有跟杜若——不、甚至是從沒有跟任何人說過這件事。433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdWw7YQybWn
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmIL0uh6hF4
「是一個……在脖子後面紋著白色線條的沙華會紋身的人。」433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvmD7ueIaOT
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTJtQmBTipG
從腦海深處的角落翻出這片景象。那人在殺害媽媽時，紫藤只有一瞬間記下了那個至今都從未看見第二次的特殊紋身。433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡegyKBANtSf
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtqI2VfP0d4
「沙華會的紋章幾乎都是鮮紅色的、有白色條紋的紋身……我就只見過那麼一次。但不管我怎麼找、那個人卻就好像消失了一樣，再也沒有出現過。」433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqXZ7OUXsbR
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4joAeoaPND
而唯一有可能知道的墨駒已經被殺了，但紫藤並不感到後悔。比起狡獪的他們，紫藤更寧願靠自己的手去搜索。433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU4tfHDbRuD
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7PoH6zsIFK
「這樣的話，我也來幫忙吧！」杜若自告奮勇地舉高手：433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5u0tZPfvPf
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjZiQGDh7Gc
「兩個人一起找絕對比較快的！」433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQvXP0Y0VnO
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ04K239kgNR
杜若的模樣、讓紫藤晚了一步才發現自己說錯了話。433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYyzX2xmHt2
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnmTLcLcxfN
紫藤默默地低下頭、沉聲回答。433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjgjQ4gnMEj
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWWPUsMjKqf
「……不用那樣。我……我自己就夠了。」433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNqg5C6Ww5x
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5U0NktPBbd
這冷淡的回答讓杜若頓時像被潑了水的貓咪似地一愣。433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiA8uvY4N1b
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdYrU3eP0mg
「可是、紫藤不是說到現在都……」433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrcZXykMBDq
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgN9lOGQLe2
「這本來就是我自己的事。」433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWpXHliGrBk
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5LLe7GsRbu
就算杜若能夠輕鬆地下殺手，但自己的復仇跟杜若是兩回事。433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrw3CoLzQws
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLFHtQ7vuEe
紫藤很清楚自己的眼前只有惡火。而單單只是殺手的任務就已經足夠危險，杜若根本沒有必要為此承擔這些危險。433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUcTrpYG5QW
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvVT9BMb5TV
「那要是紫藤遇到危險怎麼辦！」倏地，杜若站起身、提高音量433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz2EZWXhE1y
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT9FpPh1f7n
「我就是為了保護自己，才會去學習要怎麼搏鬥。」433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKcDQC6MCKo
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5gjQ0pmbYg
紫藤明白杜若的擔憂。但紫藤正是為了不讓自己在完成復仇前先被吞沒，才用盡了心力去磨練自己。433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQWp7zR2pQo
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl7r0WyyNeN
「可是、假如對方有槍、假如遇到像今天一樣的事……」433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYImtsUxdwL
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZkBQ4pJeax
「我是不會讓自己被殺死的。」433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnbOjh9tLXx
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaIHVs3x2AT
「紫藤明明就傷成這樣、還說這種話……！」433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5NGB9Pp67w
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjtuaohCUIq
看見紫藤一副無所謂的模樣，杜若更是焦急到話都說不清楚了。433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ37ka8bixA4
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhCPVbMEVfl
紫藤沒能給出杜若期待的回應。卻還是於心不忍地輕握住了杜若的手。433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZtYibEBPIj
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOTbQyZZIWc
杜若雖然想甩開，但卻在一半就失去了力氣。433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5oMTQdk36J
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPTk04n3cIS
「明明、明明紫藤也硬是摻進了我的事情，現在卻又說這種話、這樣真的太不公平了……」433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbp7ilUCkaM
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjmUyLH2yaV
杜若像個鬧彆扭的孩子一樣發起脾氣，但鬧彆扭的人卻總是最認真的。也因此，紫藤才無從反駁。433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRWfKNTzJah
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ64z9Pg8D3Q
是啊，明明就是自己先不講理地要杜若帶著自己的，這樣又有什麼資格拒絕杜若呢？433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ384sUOZ8vW
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtruPq4z1cK
但就算不公平也好，紫藤之所以握著杜若的手，絕非是要杜若陪著自己跳進火海。433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡra94RZvuT4
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw9FZwDn7so
最後，紫藤還是用了奸詐的說法。433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlP19X74UIZ
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtQFleaXte6
「我跟陶壺叔約定過，說不會讓妳受傷了。」433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhh7zXRqe1f
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkK3tnzaUBz
「那難道紫藤要我看著妳受傷嗎？」433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEYEHUGGy3O
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCx20uGRTK8
雖然夾雜著鼻音、但這句話卻如此強而有力。433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxonUhCp13G
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6Zu6uOjTlp
在八年前的那個夜晚、紫藤也是那樣地看著母親被一刀刀殘殺致死——明明注視著、卻什麼也做不了的無力是多麼令人痛苦，紫藤比任何人都還要明白。433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaiVW9Gd1zm
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlLYCoahdRQ
杜若也正是因為這樣的痛苦，才選擇了這條看似荒謬的道路。433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGJ2to19Kfi
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSDElk8QJd3
而紫藤打算再在杜若的身上再添一層相同的痛苦嗎？433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCVUiOa90qk
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhKHKpXxTaC
紫藤無法回答，只是沉默地別開了視線。433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaCgRcqxkfp
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqkQIfiQiTb
看見杜若受傷，自己會感到痛苦。而看見自己受傷，杜若會感到痛苦。然而若是因此什麼也不做，又有誰能夠替枉死的母親報仇雪恨？433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8AKcMXkGrL
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAZGK1wdWUT
哪條路都是崎嶇，哪條路也都是痛苦。433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOpO5RShQtB
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1aabVgIjxB
如今，在這條路上有個願意走到身旁攜手並進的人，又為何不欣然接受就好？433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSTelfFO7yr
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcSCeKMFal5
只因為就連接受也是痛苦吧。433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPVzRlKHjpC
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVZeH0NPBVx
但、當初不就是因為明白自己沒辦法獨自走完腳下的路，所以才會自顧自地跟在杜若後頭不是嗎？433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgkbhGFWHMC
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsfEybVsnfJ
如果說想要把什麼東西給握在手裡、就免不了被刺出鮮血。那麼起碼受傷的方式可以交由彼此來抉擇。433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaaCCHXGe4H
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqTEek39GJp
思及至此，紫藤才慢慢地放鬆了手中的力道。433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcvdvO0wghx
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB1vZtMhm8G
「答應我、要先保護好妳自己。」433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUuGf6ZQiWQ
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUATz9F8UKT
紫藤不帶一絲玩笑地注視著杜若的雙眼，而看見紫藤的神情，杜若才終於破涕為笑。433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM07QjQjYqb
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡURrHp0J3pU
「可是，紫藤會保護我的吧？這樣我的份不就用不到了？」杜若歪著頭反問。然後扣緊了紫藤安放在腿上的手。433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRghEdmkpe1
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG3sD47JE9C
「所以，我的份就用來保護紫藤吧！」433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqThQto0miK
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg0ejPX9iXR
紫藤雖沒有點頭，卻還是回望著對方微微笑，回握住指縫間的柔軟。433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ75tbgMdtFq
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1qPl9Y8mZg
「喔喔！紫藤笑了耶！」433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAaYsWQsb0E
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp9f8m4UsYT
頭一次看見紫藤的笑容，讓杜若欣喜地舉高手，卻不小心拉起了紫藤負傷的前臂而使紫藤臉色一緊。433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxQDQPw9hCi
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR9fGzewogj
「哇啊啊——！對不起！」杜若立刻慌張地放下手來。433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9ZTm1BbzEE
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmwkhz3Vaz0
疼痛雖然還沒散去，但紫藤還是發自內心地笑了。433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYgk5G4Svfc
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvVuvMuZrKx
「……對了！」這時，杜若突然靈機一動地眼神一亮：「不知道可不可以請狐狸幫紫藤找找看呢？」433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiYzmr0X52A
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFr6gVucGQl
「咦？」這提議讓紫藤也感到意外地眨了眨眼。433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrn453HXTHq
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqS8DJ0NVKr
「雖然是我自己猜的……不過狐狸應該很擅長找人吧。」433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP2J25ip9HF
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA6Rz55RL67
應該說如果那個狐狸不擅長，就不可能精確地知道目標的出沒地點與時間吧。433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaLP1umHrIP
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoVaa3RFONk
紫藤確實沒想到這個方法——不，更應該說是刻意忽略掉了才是。433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCRxoliywUE
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmSYb2CxRYa
紫藤還是沒辦法相信一個就連臉都沒見過、還讓杜若做這麼危險的事情的人。把這樣重要的任務託付給對方真的妥當嗎？光是想的就有種不踏實感。433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxkM7ibyQJp
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrBj8INTmpK
不過，如果那個狐狸願意幫忙，也許真的會是一大助力。比起自己的脾氣，不是更應該去想要怎樣才能早一步替母親報仇雪恨才對嗎？433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmLKTLUG6w6
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTyZ3IZuKaL
自己尋覓這麼多年來都毫無所獲，而現在就有一個或許能夠跨出一大步的機會，又怎麼能夠放棄？433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ82HCebN8mw
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPkshRi2YS9
「那……可以幫我跟狐狸說說看嗎？」433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPFFQImyjld
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1BfCyIpp8Q
「當然呀，這是我提議的嘛～」杜若自信地抱起手臂、挺起胸膛。433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6xzTh64V1N
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7y9SLEq5Ld
就在這時，紫藤注意到了杜若的手肘與膝蓋上也有著斑斑的擦傷。433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVhXsJnpIXy
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡygXXWduVTe
是被墨駒踢倒的時候撞上的吧。雖然不比紫藤嚴重，但印在杜若柔嫩的肌膚上、還是格外叫人心疼。433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaLDqFVQ2dd
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ54IdDQWVZO
「妳的傷……換我幫妳吧。」433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtduUGoA9cq
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhwlEfTIlMT
被紫藤一說，杜若才發覺似地看了看自己的傷，露出一派輕鬆的笑容。433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsetcc5A4xi
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyS5YmnSg3q
「我這點傷才沒事啦～」說完，杜若從醫療箱裡頭翻出了幾條止血貼布遞給紫藤。433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHpSGrrhbCl
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1fvl23xB7S
「貼這個應該就可以了。紫藤就幫我一下吧。」說完，杜若也爬到床上坐到了一旁。433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg7rnAVdqES
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeGvLmg6sTG
「撕得開來嗎？」杜若看著紫藤有些僵硬的動作，有所顧慮地問。433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGwvWHC58m2
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ597OA50EWl
「動作不需要太大，沒問題的。」慢慢地撕開膠帶後，紫藤往杜若受傷的手肘上貼去、神情專注。433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHvMF6acImx
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsqaAHmQO4B
「……好了。換膝蓋吧。」433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsicZgVqdal
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDcJGxJ8wDM
輕輕撫平皺起的部分，紫藤這才發現杜若一動也不動地盯著自己。433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxcf6Upa3Gl
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO19ZQldi1l
「我臉上有什麼嗎？」紫藤不解地偏過頭。433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMQVscIMSVS
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡExnEgiLCW8
「唔嗯、沒有呀。」盯得出神的杜若這才回過神來地搖搖頭，靦腆地說道：433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0a88SDcxIY
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ41i8DoUNQj
「只是覺得紫藤認真的模樣……果然好帥喔。」433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1xN3NxTzes
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN6sbmgkCiR
突如其來的稱讚，令紫藤頓時耳根一熱。433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0pK8MQRIDO
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBWfymv6jwI
在道場偶爾也會有人這麼稱讚紫藤——儘管紫藤從不這麼覺得——但明明是同樣的誇獎，為什麼從杜若的嘴巴裡說出來感覺就是不一樣呢？433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbZuUhBsnad
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAkfyqCT1p8
「我、我……」不知道該怎麼回應的紫藤搓著發熱的耳朵，無所適從地左右張望，最後才低下頭、用著連自己都快聽不到的聲音悄聲地說了句：433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWhoErhXfbg
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSbx0pClawi
「謝謝……」433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlfAuRd1Z1g
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbDKbCWLrp7
「嗯？」433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCwQamNxb7I
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1iQ3hUiMtO
「沒、沒有……！」紫藤彷彿像要掩飾過去拉高音量，匆忙地接著說道：「比起那些、還有膝蓋的傷……！」433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7GVakBGeex
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPOb4BmMdcY
杜若雖然有些不明白，卻也覺得今天表情豐富的紫藤很有趣，就沒有多問、聽話地打直了雙腳。433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3mBd3UJcFr
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq6LaVNdLIQ
杜若的膝蓋上仍沾著一些汙血，那道傷口印在上頭就好像是件純白禮服上的爛泥一樣顯眼——但就算沾上了爛泥，氣質本身也不會輕易改變。433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhQyw0tQZ3u
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOfgFoXcl5f
雖然怎樣也稱不上是修長，但杜若的腿卻讓紫藤不禁想到了幼貓那短巧可愛的前腳，讓人忍不住想要伸手捏個一把。433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbd9aBSi2aC
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGWmtyNcjwE
不對不對、現在可不是做那種事的時候。不要再想些不正經的事了。433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡubUp5Wl68x
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxeuyDvyUsD
「稍微……稍微彎起來一點。」433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpwQrjmbarm
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqFQFkLMjKy
「這樣？」433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsMpkDPMGn9
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlTh3s7NQbg
為了不讓自己再胡思亂想，紫藤支吾地說。一會才終於定下心來把貼布貼上了膝蓋的傷口。433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjshaN4ci2m
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpQ3au7teRg
「……嗯！這樣就可以了吧！」杜若點點頭，滿意地打量著自己手上腳上的貼布。433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPq7Xgrr2Qr
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeJG0TuDKuw
於是紫藤收起醫療用品，起身將箱子放回原位。433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA2gx7ml4TZ
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡynN88tCq1x
「對了，剛才紫藤提到的事件……」433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRDHISGOf86
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS1lrg1rQtD
就在要踏出房門的時候，杜若忽然想到了什麼似地開了口。433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSH5WBIb1GY
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKD4uizowSM
「事件、是倒塌事件嗎？」433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfQXTcHziiU
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsbRC3404pu
「唔、嗯……」杜若好像沒聽清楚似地，只把頭點到了一半，便默默地垂下眼簾。433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGF3TTrupMv
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb9FBqbYCPW
「怎麼了嗎？」看見杜若的模樣，令紫藤擔心地走了回去。433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD0g39itvV1
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKsuN4aB1t2
但杜若沒有做出回應，只是像在思考般地沉默了一會後，才撓撓頭髮抬起了頭來。433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrbFUTKhf1k
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxHN9CjwTlj
「沒有……沒事的喔！」杜若再次露出一如往常的笑容：「再不睡覺的話明天又要遲到了！還是趕快把東西放回去，然後好好洗澡睡覺吧！」433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc2PxOKIcMT
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlkiKsX4hFp
紫藤雖然感到疑惑，卻還是沒有多問地走出了房間。433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4K2waCYrT0
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfzMAqhZ1Lm
回來後、在淋浴間前，兩人看著彼此身上的一塊塊包紮，忽然察覺到了什麼而尷尬地笑了。433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVTjEcWHyMu
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgu9OHKbFR3
「我們……好像弄錯順序了耶。」433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk6ICjszLgG
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0qthRyN4Bc
「……只能用擦的了吧。」紫藤望向手上一大片的暗紅紗布，洩出了一聲嘆息。433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgLY59BI4jq
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNkcRDTjkkU
雖然天氣還很炎熱，用擦澡倒也不會著涼，但紫藤現在只有一隻手，想要擦去全身的溼黏感實在是難如登天。433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3q5AUbdcGP
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrwBkJRklkH
杜若也察覺到紫藤有苦難言的模樣，於是悄悄地湊到了紫藤的一旁。433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXD1anwNJ0B
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVj9aFMcqHI
「紫藤需要我幫忙嗎？」433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg9P1u7CIzn
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWRutiDhDAX
起先紫藤還沒聽懂杜若的意思，但看著杜若站到了自己和淋浴間之間，紫藤才瞬間紅了臉頰。433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS177fEcSF6
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFxehlmmNNy
「我、我自己來就可以了……」433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaXpHK1y2dg
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhJStOXImS9
在外頭、紫藤光是露出手臂以外的皮膚都會感到有些憋扭了，更何況是和人坦誠相待，即使是杜若——不、正因為是杜若，紫藤才更在意這點。433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtarOOkGqN9
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYLmSwsBWYk
終於，在簡單擦去一身的灰塵與汗濕後，兩人才可以好好地關上燈休息。433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEPKj8dRHUD
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLCQMR5LqgT
房間沉入一片黑暗。而在這片熟悉的黑暗當中，卻多了道不同的吐息。433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVuUE9Ya5L9
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8MC3Ca1gx5
明明昨天還沒有這麼明顯地感覺到杜若的存在，現在紫藤卻能夠清楚地感覺到對方的呼吸拂過臉頰。433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJeVLN7XFMc

因為說好了，所以剛才也讓杜若用了跟自己一樣的沐浴乳。和草草擦乾污痕的紫藤不同，剛沖過澡的杜若身上香得不可思議。那宛如水果混合了奶油的甜香挾帶著專屬於杜若的微暖體溫，光聞著就令紫藤的胸口發癢。433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmjIECXt7jy
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsl8vYXdNc3
明明是一樣的東西，為什麼用在杜若的身上味道就是完全不同呢？433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGaVlsXozwa
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF1XEsPUo3J
「……紫藤。」433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiMUXw0az0u
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZgpgcb0BE9
「怎麼了？」433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ15tUVtJSxM
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP2hVEQ2WSz
就在紫藤兀自思考時，杜若用著像是隨時會消失在黑暗中的細小聲音、輕聲地喚了紫藤。而在紫藤回問後，杜若沒有馬上回答，只是輕揪住紫藤的衣領，向前挪動身子。433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBotetaCaeD
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFKtCanlwmt
「紫藤說、會一直在我身邊……我可以相信紫藤吧？」433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTY1xKIM9qC
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLCrXzIeZfg
那是躲在櫃子裡頭時紫藤為了安撫恐慌的杜若，而下意識脫口而出的承諾。也許是四周的黑暗、讓杜若又想起了那時的感覺吧。433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡECuZHARnDP
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeIfqq6f0N3
紫藤伸出手輕蓋在了杜若的後腦，卻沒有辦法就這麼點頭。433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ8oVK2GVsw
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡylz81zY6Qc
就連明天，紫藤都不知道自己是不是還能夠像現在躺在這張床上了。那又何況是更遙遠的以後呢？433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEaCHhZIAZd
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmRSdIjnPnb
這世上難以實現的事情多如繁星，即使是伸手能夠觸及的光芒，也不乏混濁的惡火，而自己選擇的前路更是如此。433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkEPJTT8bNn
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡarjndjlz0A
既然難以實現，那就不該給予承諾。面對再也單純不過的杜若，這樣的輕浮是種殘酷。433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1keT8lvl7R
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYICpQaz670
可是要是因此就什麼也不能夠承諾、什麼也不能夠相信，不也是另一種殘酷嗎？433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVWd7f6kEmc
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhJbnH7HS0H
確實，紫藤不能夠保證前路的光明不是槍口的閃焰，也不能夠成為驅趕黑暗的陽光。433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcIhfuPs100
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeRJeRjlVyJ
不過紫藤現在就在這裡。433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqRD1jAizce
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWuoEl1iTgm
無論腳下的是光明還是黑暗，只要紫藤還能夠伸出手，就不會讓杜若握起的手中僅有一撮虛幻。433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYswfjHYrmB
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfXEsTc6GtC
於是、紫藤探出指頭，用指腹輕貼上了杜若的臉頰。433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4KfUnXri5G
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrWnTGsnGYx
「……我會試著做到的。」433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKAzP4wpH9Z
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY48RTdi7T2
「什麼嘛……」聽見這不乾脆的回答，杜若便沒輒地笑了。433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlTyLbAmCAU
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ64sNR1BIRY
「不過……我相信紫藤喔。」433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡstP8g5vCCq
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMiDGHKZGQx
不給紫藤辯解的餘地。說完，杜若就這麼微笑著闔上眼，沉沉地往夢鄉走去。433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2DYnOGfGlh
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJhrGSvPCom
窗外打進的微光逐漸照亮紫藤的視野，杜若雪白的髮絲在輪廓的邊緣透著薄光，就宛如隨風飄逸的紗絹一樣。433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnW2Qi5rkh1
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZEef74jotO
從呼吸聲聽來，杜若大概是在睡著時就會蜷起身子的類型——就連這點也跟貓很像啊，紫藤不禁調侃地想。433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWSraY3es4d
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5zLQkQc72m
疼痛令紫藤沒辦法把杜若給攬進懷中，但紫藤卻仍湊近了身子，把那道溫熱的呼吸給小心地挨近胸口。433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu1uAOsA1dt
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ92lGqWXXsE
而杜若只是既像在回應、又像在撒嬌般地發出一聲夢囈，把身子更加地縮了進去。433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV9jRXWXIHq
