迴響的隆隆聲如同夢境般遠去。410Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3MFBe6sP27
410Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJw1TCa0Kjt
從開出的小縫裡，一道狹窄的光切開了無邊無際的黑暗。410Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXRyfQE4wwA
410Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡneHXQpMazj
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。410Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ083rMTmGC4
410Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6zfzMZ2Xen
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。410Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQT3zFh6SgS
410Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzX2Edfsnxd
連沙華會都靜謐下來，就代表連凌晨也快要結束了吧。410Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjpuIOboge8
410Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNTl3XapVGN
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。410Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡch6JIqnDNk
410Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX8mQZ0sS6R
「走吧。我們一起回去。」410Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡorcEci1Wya
410Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzN6otSSQxr
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。410Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ36EtNenhFl
410Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7c0SO71gSf
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。410Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV69gkvmHtl
410Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLP1yHWvcTU
為了處理傷口，杜若讓紫藤靠到了床板上頭。410Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT6HZq10qUj
410Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡELfyIWBMNe
「嗚……！」410Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyJAWaRoYJg
410Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGg0X2oKZ8F
消毒藥水碰到傷口的劇痛，讓紫藤吃痛地叫出悶聲。410Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuJ0BNIT9uK
410Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoYW7MQ5S7c
「很痛嗎……？」杜若停下動作，擔憂地看向紫藤。410Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXSES3AgfwC
410Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5j2MeuR4Ll
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。410Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnOho9x2aOz
410Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRuCKkHZLTA
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。410Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHt2MV3p7uR
410Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwvAb9nVhft
「……我還可以忍。」說完，紫藤打直手臂。410Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcwzfmnkhs6
410Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJtBfEEHwmy
杜若點點頭，卻宛如做錯了事一般地垂下眼簾。410Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC30paHs5vg
410Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS3lgZhFTTt
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。410Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZzCu4zNEru
410Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBURZUl6NCr
「那、再忍耐一下就好。」410Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ09DaoygXKS
410Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa3lK8RJqjm
「呼、呼……嗚——！」410Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoap03CRVMW
410Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ69jGRBgh3j
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。410Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYLkgpq3f1B
410Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm31aAtiAuS
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。410Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWBAEahCivr
410Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe2CCCnvLrX
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。410Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcb5n2naEca
410Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjxesUlsfCa
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。410Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe3hE9lXPNj
410Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbHC02hHgOc
「還要喝嗎？」杜若捧著還有一半的水杯，輕柔地問。410Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiFGMoiNFm1
410Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKRTcuJVXCG
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。410Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwncfrz00rW
410Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ74eYtvKqch
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。410Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAbrdEcyjqw
410Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjApqITEj6f
「……謝謝。」410Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZQW4bceBfK
410Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr5mZCRogiA
「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。410Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxfz5Cj4zyN
410Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDoS2avvijn
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。410Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvhpSD7inwq
410Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWAUMn0B7Mv
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。410Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9beVDp3OBT
410Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnkCUgqh8EU
不過，這無疑都是事實。410Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrZjyZ0bSRm
410Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8FHq38RNQ7
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。410Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoHQfhczbDF
410Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTRrM0wMYlQ
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。410Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNnTfq6Q92q
410Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjxDZE19Oes
「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。410Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAsbOXNTeVE
410Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg6DGuEFsV4
沉默了半晌，紫藤才慢慢地開口。410Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHuZ1Fz7YGH
410Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ03urZfA3uM
「是我媽媽的遺物。」410Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSDxe8P6QCe
410Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGJN7BeN5cC
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。410Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkreS9YSEOi
410Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGpsdEWHAKZ
「咦……？那為什麼會在墨駒的手裡呀？」杜若不假思索地問道。410Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM9qvFnwvsb
410Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ7mJWG5wkM
「我也不知道。」紫藤搖搖頭，黯然地闔上雙眼。410Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq1ItKkLBG6
410Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH3VVMMqaz9
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。410Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfaDhgLBFYt
410Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡziGhfb76DG
「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：410Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJTFXy82Ad0
410Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbvcQSb3x3a
「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。」410Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqQazHEJQW8
410Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcm7Is4qiFO
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。410Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaqAcecSJPe
410Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiuHehJe4vl
「這就是那時候、他們從媽媽的身上搶走的東西之一。」410Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq6Cdho4MqJ
410Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4ece3JR4Rf
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。410Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1Gl4Crspxp
410Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8R6jDANY23
從那時起，濺在臉上的那朵紅花就已經在紫藤的心頭生根。410Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnIJPnCg2sT
410Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRvkZHFKD87
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。410Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEIPcGfSpsw
410Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRoZPL5RE16
「原來……這是對紫藤來說這麼重要的東西啊。」410Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmC8hwZ06Ro
410Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtbwbFc10D8
「嗯。」紫藤在胸前連同戒指握緊了拳頭。410Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyHrTywruWT
410Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpMLyI27JN2
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。410Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡypSFLNQv0R
410Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHIKkcF0Z94
自己已經不想要再失去任何東西了。410Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVpCg2h8bGq
410Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT6SScQH3Dh
「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。410Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjl1Qs7aOuM
410Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlBDELW6YwA
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。410Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIGLDJW61I4
410Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5jLwcCRgKl
「媽媽他——」410Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqrL2Ew7Fwd
410Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6NPniG9r2v
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。410Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwzgZlvB4pz
410Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnjeJC7BZhG
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」。410Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡofcWYMSdnv
410Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKE1Deu4H8o
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。410Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa2IOrHmgID
410Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9TVt4ePrpY
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。410Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfcJc9YLRKa
410Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt5SDSoJO5t
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。410Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7ZzsWdKhnA
410Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNdQwK45rLW
但紫藤一點都不喜歡學校。410Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWN6Q3QONY5
410Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsuqBVwurO2
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。410Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxfoxJ0Gphr
410Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn2gmC2MHqB
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。410Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfh5Ib2zmRz
410Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrCSw65yxkB
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。410Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFfWc2zKMMA
410Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQbG4hgapRo
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。410Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkEZ54KC3TX
410Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE2blAoVx9d
嗯，這樣就夠了。那時的紫藤只有這麼單純的滿足。410Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFuAupn5I7a
410Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFfh503UHzK
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。410Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4oZJnkonh2
410Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfRve67PvuO
那是一起倒塌事件。410Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaLQ9HkgdEN
410Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡinjgc6eQHT
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。410Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvS9ZoHvlfa
410Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAmq2BZjEIS
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。410Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsmT20GHWdd
410Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyIp2ixHY6c
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。410Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdIKnFmVkYP
410Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzHKL5UPx45
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。410Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr66S3jEofo
410Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7GqBTfYErx
「……我會找到給墨駒這個戒指的人。」410Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2b33mcAXJr
410Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGAAUhC3BIk
收起回憶，紫藤再次握緊了戒指。410Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNBvUTXhNif
410Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfyP36JYCKz
「然後，殺了他。」410Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmKZsHDLFBf
410Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡllKIorFoZv
紫藤的眼神猶如熾火，沒有一分一毫的搖曳。410Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIHktZshO5y
410Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBjtYRhHIxA
但只不過幾秒，便很快地萎靡了下來。410Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt07jeA3R1p
410Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtq1jyKfxDY
「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。」410Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaWIFoeeSlD
410Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc0v15uYn3h
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。410Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaJnG9GaYJP
410Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV8mbrKK5wl
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。410Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNvET6K3wIo
410Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9HYhcCajQt
「原來、這就是紫藤想要跟我一起行動的原因呀。」410Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9EY14WTVTh
410Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg399QH1wE7
「……嗯。」410Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOyw5tJ3yAF
410Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH85uQHUubi
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。410Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhHSCoGUCBo
410Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAEqut3sx9h
紫藤深信，這就是自己向那些骯髒禽獸復仇的楔子。410Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsQN9i4XYBh
410Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ07x4Ue1mh
這就是足以斬斷自己心頭那朵紅花的白刃。410Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvAumf452TR
410Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzOgWe3T7Wh
「……杜若妳呢？」410Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR60XZeyMzU
410Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5nJInsKibI
紫藤拾起快要滿溢的情感，回望了杜若那如新月般的雙眸。410Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaFrMXcxJKX
410Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwnoS4FLBjY
「又是為什麼……會開始當殺手？」410Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsXzcvSPKwK
410Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGFg6udvdvG
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。410Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOUruxZNUMt
410Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCKdR6mju11
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。410Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEV71Oyvl3h
410Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFxeAJtd2ny
「紫藤……不會生氣吧？」410Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡACJYMCxJBZ
410Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlwQev4rJvk
杜若果然還在意著那時自己的衝動。410Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwv4avBoxab
410Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjzAjlbTCwv
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。410Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR2IVtCpmfy
410Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFPE7Rfkgr4
「不會。」紫藤堅定地說：「我保證。」410Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyghXM5hGYq
410Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpHALzxyNmn
等到紫藤緩緩收起手後，杜若才按著胸口，下定決心地開口。410Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbRbv70yoFA
410Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFpnM7OqBXH
「……我想要救陶壺叔。」410Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhp8xOpyYpr
410Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7JkzZW6fat
杜若喃喃吐出的回答令紫藤感到十分意外。410Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrg8BwcCtUW
410Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXBf64WqUaA
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？410Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpvF90ZObqH
410Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMKqD84sW9K
就好像發現了紫藤的疑惑，杜若幽幽地繼續說道：410Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXzsGm6qsWv
410Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN9yyoulwDG
「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。」410Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7zmIouUhQO
410Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡylhjhLkYOQ
全身慢慢就會不能動的病？410Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNuX6WkziTK
410Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwTixDxAoqT
這種病紫藤是頭一次聽見。410Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv2eKeV0st9
410Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgx8FwkEmTk
「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。」410Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8aOmLI4s1Z
410Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkH01nfnhyk
「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。410Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbtZrEpcqBr
410Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqslmr2vg1d
「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。」410Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTTvR2x7utM
410Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRH16NLQLrS
杜若的笑只看得見無力。410Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNZyYIK9Xar
410Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ46YSlIps9
「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。」410Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZYRMOZ9UtM
410Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu0ZrOr4Cmt
到這裡，杜若便沒有繼續說下去了。410Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOTdrWJZBt4
410Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuDwgg6oxAt
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。410Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgzvJAkI7MR
410Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpyKUYtOOza
然而，紫藤卻忍不住想要質疑的念頭。410Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnP45dJKsYn
410Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAbZDrrCcZz
「那個狐狸、真的就這麼值得相信嗎？」410Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ55OXpAaXB9
410Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu3aJJ8ekkI
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。410Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs3O1b2nk30
410Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOsP4QIIKFM
「……狐狸一直都對我很好呀。」410Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu2pCQ3JI86
410Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBHMuMd37py
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。410Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4eJyIawjsl
410Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOFJKuDgg5P
「所以，我還是相信狐狸。」410Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnrZJNhPNfk
410Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOPenQ2bk3z
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。410Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjPZAGD5Ak2
410Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡskYl6ZLh4B
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。410Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm8nTmqvzdS
410Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4w5kVxXXux
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。410Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1Yv6zUd7dj
410Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaisGwBpAGF
哪怕、就算那道光芒是朝自己射出的子彈也一樣。410Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0oBJDP8XpA
410Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo5JpnmP4iC
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？410Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8NnbqClyz9
410Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu2h8ofk3aQ
這怎麼可能。410Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJD5KT2LErj
410Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ30hxrN5hZd
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。410Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpwkJcxaltq
410Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXQQGNF9XlF
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。410Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7JgwPOJKSu
410Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq6djlsBiSn
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。410Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTgEdotwP4N
410Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWQ1MQeNoy9
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。410Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSG9X3ByY1I
410Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWxQWkeU9ce
察覺到掌心的柔軟，杜若看著紫藤靦腆地一笑。410Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuNl7LiuTSp
410Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpgggoheuvH
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410Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHFnywetPLx
410Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNbS3OKh7gX
「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。410Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8py5P7B6jU
410Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyyznA9haS5
「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！」410Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE32xxwHgZZ
410Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfYEQMSXMZO
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。410Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡify9XDHYdA
410Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0JAH3CS2eH
「不過，果然還是不能夠靠沙華會的人呢。」410Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0IwFiPuQe0
410Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6lDRHIjGK2
經過剛才被反擊的經驗，讓兩人都對這點有了更多的共識。410Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTkdJe8wG9L
410Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmtUSsoZ3zE
說了句「話說回來」後，杜若就一轉話鋒、向紫藤問道：410Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY4FsVu48n4
410Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8QMj3960zZ
「紫藤想要殺掉的人又是誰呀？紫藤還記得嗎？」410Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuIIiThQ62l
410Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXfhCntrUHo
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。410Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJmnt2yBd86
410Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPHYKMIGnsO
「是一個……在脖子後面紋著白色線條的沙華會紋身的人。」410Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR0cna0dUVB
410Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiAddG1mbMh
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。410Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzFWqbI25UP
410Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFGIS4Pgoog
「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。」410Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtflYOQNeeS
410Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfABkD9h7OO
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。410Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAixMYRHtvO
410Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAxCbmlRdMw
「這樣的話，我也來幫忙吧！」杜若自告奮勇地舉高手：410Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbcXwYlC0qB
410Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu4qQouWiVt
「兩個人一起找絕對比較快的！」410Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFGLryhJBzZ
410Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD2v9zwB7Fm
杜若的模樣、讓紫藤晚了一步才發現自己說錯了話。410Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJn9cDwlx4u
410Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQvOSabikRU
紫藤默默地低下頭、沉聲回答。410Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa7J10aaXoV
410Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSiln1tiDNp
「……不用那樣。我……我自己就夠了。」410Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8smuJDncED
410Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR3tQ0neAw6
這冷淡的回答讓杜若頓時像被潑了水的貓咪似地一愣。410Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf1t21tjzCG
410Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ6Gis6ZyO2
「可是、紫藤不是說到現在都……」410Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ92gnyMzBeD
410Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgqkJqxAbV1
「這本來就是我自己的事。」410Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqkaJoPe8OL
410Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ57zfVVlvL3
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。410Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk0L3s9amQJ
410Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvB9x6yysq1
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。410Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGKvsaC9r0t
410Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM9tfPuoSWn
「那要是紫藤遇到危險怎麼辦！」倏地，杜若站起身、提高音量410Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkfpEqw6htG
410Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ0YX990We2
「我就是為了保護自己，才會去學習要怎麼搏鬥。」410Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPNnhXvt5WU
410Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9GLtIZxGxr
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。410Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3xzSAVUJhp
410Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRWgaXPaZGn
「可是、假如對方有槍、假如遇到像今天一樣的事……」410Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEiKqB590c3
410Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkkTuqPDqaO
「我是不會讓自己被殺死的。」410Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF5I6mGWMXd
410Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzGx9k8NQ23
「紫藤明明就傷成這樣、還說這種話……！」410Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa4E0A3FYCl
410Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj4PClhFRdU
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。410Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEKtgJZPzAn
410Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8Dfk4dpwMD
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。410Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKqGYI9OOes
410Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmAjH7FeNIv
杜若雖然想甩開，但卻在一半就失去了力氣。410Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDK0Jwn58GU
410Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB1FLxU5qsH
「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……」410Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡisTGvn48YB
410Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmFsAg0IevF
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。410Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXP0DyJf1Pd
410Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBf2CqQccbf
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？410Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRpoENUyjrI
410Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRDOii3hmE7
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。410Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF6DG5XK2OC
410Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8H7RxJn8t2
最後，紫藤還是用了奸詐的說法。410Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTWOfybMVK7
410Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcmOqjTp41b
「我跟陶壺叔約定過，說不會讓妳受傷了。」410Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSMEJhDajbi
410Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS3SQmwZRpg
「那難道紫藤要我看著妳受傷嗎？」410Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHYx85PlGhR
410Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡttrlnjpQiY
雖然夾雜著鼻音、但這句話卻如此強而有力。410Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBUkcVRwFXw
410Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYjq9k1GPL3
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。410Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWds1Fem5bJ
410Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5ZliMBO9WP
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。410Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtFN2WJWz7W
410Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4f4E2lGpJN
而紫藤打算再在杜若的身上再添一層相同的痛苦嗎？410Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3eBB6W3MkR
410Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu4TXgGyROp
紫藤無法回答，只是沉默地別開了視線。410Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAHql56JXVt
410Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkGESb9iiET
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？410Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAOWNZPbheP
410Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq0aHBJhwzC
哪條路都是崎嶇，哪條路也都是痛苦。410Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFDAVUzRD1J
410Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCdjPTvvYJc
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？410Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9LA6DZshpQ
410Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ90YdB2YPmZ
只因為就連接受也是痛苦吧。410Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkeeYJbuyhx
410Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw0NQTqWQ0I
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？410Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDkYWSOBxyq
410Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOfornT8Wa2
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。410Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyX3Hn66WOI
410Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFqo68YeLcS
思及至此，紫藤才慢慢地放鬆了手中的力道。410Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjpGYNyP3k4
410Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeHAwlUSxD9
「答應我、要先保護好妳自己。」410Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOJPzTKxits
410Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfSPAg5FU0G
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。410Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ54nQnbpovQ
410Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHO7hQyCzhA
「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。410Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBAU9IHysJP
410Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWsxaG6l99v
「所以，我的份就用來保護紫藤吧！」410Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1GUerVNBPc
410Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS148j2nApA
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。410Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgL2Nj4jq0U
410Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV9dFcngliH
「喔喔！紫藤笑了耶！」410Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMdKEhiDuDZ
410Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf3mR0WJ8Pf
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。410Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRLsNAPw06U
410Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkAcv3yu16G
「哇啊啊——！對不起！」杜若立刻慌張地放下手來。410Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2y9Rt1a0j2
410Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrETKxTmNeX
疼痛雖然還沒散去，但紫藤還是發自內心地笑了。410Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf8ChKV8FUU
410Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrw9gpA2HqP
「……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？」410Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpHe0k4THU0
410Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsdT88Nh1mv
「咦？」這提議讓紫藤也感到意外地眨了眨眼。410Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj9L8L5hKc2
410Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGv2iGemKWT
「雖然是我自己猜的……不過狐狸應該很擅長找人吧。」410Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR67a9y4kwD
410Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl88zdFjqTf
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。410Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0KmjG0sI1e
410Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwl9I692F8p
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。410Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGlC0lJ7PuJ
410Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmRbWS2eQ8o
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。410Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpwsuCdUNRp
410Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbIqcePr6My
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？410Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2B7zo7O99T
410Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFeqwxcEH7y
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？410Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFXhXdu1u3V
410Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk3M6Ezs9aX
「那……可以幫我跟狐狸說說看嗎？」410Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWLI3Gd7Sl5
410Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr0s2f109Ou
「當然呀，這是我提議的嘛～」杜若自信地抱起手臂、挺起胸膛。410Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmWCIAo3pls
410Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgjg1W3ICNC
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。410Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdQNQbrNzow
410Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVtLhauVl8f
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。410Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnpRPRIwkdi
410Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU2b2YaWE8P
「妳的傷……換我幫妳吧。」410Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWCV0zXSQFT
410Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQlbEVoevXO
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。410Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNPPjjUrfKh
410Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwblybQAtmg
「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。410Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxCZxA0G7jy
410Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcWILepeOHU
「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。410Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdDD0rU5uxy
410Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkDuFVy9QQt
「撕得開來嗎？」杜若看著紫藤有些僵硬的動作，有所顧慮地問。410Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCyGFEmVPYJ
410Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXLvM8fxFOu
「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。410Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF8oHaG1ZpL
410Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs2t6DRk20N
「……好了。換膝蓋吧。」410Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkLE5JprB0B
410Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtKSA2GXLTM
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。410Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCLe0wo5gJl
410Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlL6uhfUqIC
「我臉上有什麼嗎？」紫藤不解地偏過頭。410Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVobDpMvlV5
410Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgL8ICXYlSm
「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：410Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeE7iiTaV2s
410Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgWzEqhyVYb
「只是覺得紫藤認真的模樣……果然好帥喔。」410Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIMOwcWZOrz
410Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYszfGIi0jy
突如其來的稱讚，令紫藤頓時耳根一熱。410Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkIX65782s5
410Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTWNevcoBKl
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？410Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ31HQuZeqsa
410Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBrePnzeE5L
「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：410Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzXSSP3VMg3
410Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2cyKA069G0
「謝謝……」410Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwQueE3sAd1
410Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWoCckbjlOE
「嗯？」410Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL2kVRoIO69
410Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ01vL29ULjy
「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……！」410Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv72VA9mwJ5
410Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxk0fSB59e5
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。410Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9J517UaCTV
410Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJuN2lnHa1F
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。410Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCvs5IwQXBk
410Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhhBWzLzv8D
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。410Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJI0bWr4cLv
410Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzraNoTV32M
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。410Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5lRTFzF0WA
410Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGnTAUaesUL
「稍微……稍微彎起來一點。」410Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNmdPjbTqlx
410Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa1pRTKcxsm
「這樣？」410Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKPgJmGll6g
410Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFUchBZEzpq
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。410Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrJyvSWtN21
410Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmNWUhWhfnv
「……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。410Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqgCmgtngIn
410Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaAGAynifkp
於是紫藤收起醫療用品，起身將箱子放回原位。410Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXzCDErslFM
410Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCeCIhqFrIF
「對了，剛才紫藤提到的事件……」410Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe62yWevE9d
410Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSEJbzGOkQ7
就在要踏出房門的時候，杜若忽然想到了什麼似地開了口。410Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbMutWTtGjh
410Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwdYf1lJOn1
「事件、是倒塌事件嗎？」410Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1FzttP8JmT
410Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtm1vyuOzlY
「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。410Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy28Jcw3Ti0
410Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJX5KOf8M7S
「怎麼了嗎？」看見杜若的模樣，令紫藤擔心地走了回去。410Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz1cACzbuG9
410Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcusUBTvleP
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。410Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP4HWnsyybg
410Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkYxZPGTlt8
「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！」410Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGff7Dg51UE
410Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfDuVpBqGmY
紫藤雖然感到疑惑，卻還是沒有多問地走出了房間。410Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPMeh6wftRS
410Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNffhzYG27l
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。410Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdneYPHrE0C
410Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC1ZuoRlQtQ
「我們……好像弄錯順序了耶。」410Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp73JDyRKKF
410Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaFz0IjxSb0
「……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。410Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeLgE2zQvWv
410Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDzGs7PQoky
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。410Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuDa2CZdEMN
410Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMKAn0RfEhK
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。410Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVjE4gRl4Ea
410Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡERAW6GOub4
「紫藤需要我幫忙嗎？」410Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhLQ20VW8jV
410Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJrkLfKqyEI
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。410Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡontxfCT0Kg
410Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0mM2tj2ZN1
「我、我自己來就可以了……」410Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzQFgdqHbcb
410Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1xUCfo9CFT
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。410Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRh4A6umS3o
410Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO8uRM1qK2P
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。410Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFlvTeLPA7P
410Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ5KOgUWg1x
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。410Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaWylZIdj0R
410Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCmYt9QeR34
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。410Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLVgki073tW

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。410Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvX9fQ0s05P
410Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWmniEHBYq9
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？410Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3ZumHDLEgl
410Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYrGSqnYZrB
「……紫藤。」410Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5LIReUNBLW
410Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ22cgjLImlR
「怎麼了？」410Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ54fthOXlqZ
410Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡipow01rHey
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。410Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb3V6Y6SRVF
410Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqu7bxqnkIe
「紫藤說、會一直在我身邊……我可以相信紫藤吧？」410Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡahY7R9TymN
410Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtrwFhl8oPl
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。410Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH43raTOena
410Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5Mb1C2pr3f
紫藤伸出手輕蓋在了杜若的後腦，卻沒有辦法就這麼點頭。410Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeQsM3uO0Bd
410Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwYw0QmXjHx
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？410Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOF6ylYj21S
410Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcm0edcNx7z
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。410Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgYniAMLuua
410Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl9J3AoND6C
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。410Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYf59ZCzKQl
410Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqf8BQGDcCz
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？410Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfcmdeK4OHV
410Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcnnHQ6rAtC
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。410Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk45SuqemfD
410Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj2ZMIwcSlQ
不過紫藤現在就在這裡。410Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfyJoBa4qeD
410Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7CYy7xBMmD
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。410Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡloJdtZwqxy
410Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi0I1F45JW9
於是、紫藤探出指頭，用指腹輕貼上了杜若的臉頰。410Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEircAIALAo
410Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSQgvmAel4O
「……我會試著做到的。」410Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK7qXuH06AL
410Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdnIMZ5MzTI
「什麼嘛……」聽見這不乾脆的回答，杜若便沒輒地笑了。410Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLfHQtVElxA
410Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCOZd78tA3T
「不過……我相信紫藤喔。」410Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0z0NOzqezY
410Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzmqbBSKCOA
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。410Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk8En4Tn9qq
410Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTL9Xdnounb
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。410Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaEq5RWdBd8
410Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAhEJ4Io5KX
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。410Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdlzjZ4z04U
410Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfrcbTxrtx1
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。410Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLNrvk3oDS5
410Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKvdgA9PXYv
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。410Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBP0PqtFr8v
