櫻之靈 - 第七章願望的意義是：代價大但是願意承受

　　　當時所現身的女子正是為櫻子，她緩慢地接近凜，在他的面前蹲下身，以幽柔的女聲平靜地向凜回應，「孩子，請你抬起頭來。」1000Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6wZwV89Ny3
1000Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDszsQq0o4o
1000Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKzTSlHgMQX
　　凜抬起頭，不久前跪坐祈求的時候想起許多的過往，小時候母親對他談話總是面露笑容，後來不但失去笑容，有時還會有厭惡的眼神，在跪在櫻花樹面前，凜頭一次坦然表達出心境。1000Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpocjjuPFuv

　　　　　＂為什麼大人都沒大人的樣子？這樣要我怎麼辦？我一點也不想變成那樣的大人，我也想要有成為了不起的大人的機會啊——＂1000Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHt0pDROB2E
1000Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp0dPusCcTQ
1000Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUCaugMXZJD

　初次的坦白，此刻凜忽然明白以跪著祈求時的意義，當坦白表露出這樣的情緒時，就是在現在，凜緩緩地抬起頭，眼淚依然持續流著，「妳是……？」1000Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMo2jnBBmgI
1000Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvbIApyVsc3

那女子微笑地問道，「叫我櫻子吧，你想求，你媽媽變回原本的她嗎？」1000Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbmX9ywJCy7
1000Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN5bJNlYFg7

「櫻子姐姐嗎……？還以為會是看起來很恐怖的妖怪？傳說都是那樣說的？」凜點頭哽咽口吻疲憊地說，「對，只要她能好好的就好，我怎樣都無所謂了，我也感覺快不行了……」1000Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8uLDLX1rag
1000Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ6WfFj1lx8

「沒問題哦。」櫻子微笑地說，「我會幫你實現，但是需要付出代價，你來到這裡之前就知道了吧？」1000Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡksfjSeGQI8
1000Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp4O5LiFnbS

　「是的……麻煩妳了。」1000Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4m2mgNAgxD
1000Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXZulrZ2MU1

　「你的眼睛好美，如果以你的雙眼交換，你願意嗎？」1000Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBuHehmuiii
1000Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz5hfIVYSlS

「我願意。」凜堅定一口答應，似乎一點猶豫都沒有。1000Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxjG1TayvmJ
1000Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2a4IaAGisc
　「你難道不知道眼睛的重要性嗎？」櫻子像是再次確認似口氣質問道。「什麼樣的情況會讓你認為眼睛比母親來得重要？」1000Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjnKCOho7rJ
1000Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRFrgylx5n7

「大概是因為我覺得已經看不見我的未來了吧……」凜語氣低落談吐說到，後來微笑地點頭，「我知道，雖然眼睛很重要可是我更想要原來的媽媽。」1000Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxGYtDO1x3V
1000Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1wPzpcX76x

「我知道了……那麼請珍惜現在能看到的一切，明天你的雙眼將會失明，但是你的願望馬上就會實現了哦。」1000Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ14kFXxlaJD
1000Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcTQ8jeXrkC

「好，謝謝你，櫻子姐姐。」凜高興地道謝而右眼的眼淚同時流了下來，不同於一般的眼淚，那是為血淚。1000Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNdwi6Wuksv
1000Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDSHBgONE5N

「真是個傻孩子，還道謝呢，明明代價如此大。」櫻子身旁的綠色小妖怪如此說，櫻子不發一語地微笑著。1000Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFd0l7aohnR

　　　　意識間見上一片霧白，凜再次睜開眼，發現自己躺在床上，注意到時發現已經身在學校的保健室，使得初醒來的凜心裡感到一陣疑惑，一直到身旁的人注意到凜醒來的對話，才使他開始換回原本的意識。1000Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo4w42AEOhV
1000Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKAvyDkgd5d

　「凜醒了！」美緒一旁喊道便哭了出來，「真的很機車，我還以為你死了。」1000Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5McRZZ6okA
1000Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxzKdzmMlz9
1000Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfTTnozypOY

「這種人怎麼可能死啊？」雖然光嘴巴上佯裝不在意，但事實上自從凜去了森林的時候，就難以掩蓋自己的擔心，一直到凜的家來回走去。「笨蛋才不會死呢！」1000Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVEXMXJ7sEe
1000Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7T5jpXZB0V

新則是直接撲上凜，「哇啊啊……凜啊！你還活著！」1000Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoyui1ArKrH
1000Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBCLCQZtz0f
1000Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAN9hCPSaWv

　「新……不要突然這樣抱我……」凜有些半推著。「哼！抱一下又不會怎樣！凜還是一樣討人厭耶。」新故意抱怨，然後又再次撲上，「但是我還是喜歡唷～！」1000Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcqCiQyxmdL
1000Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwDmt3oNiLZ
1000Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiBTlNY1kEY

凜輕輕地咳了幾聲，「聽我說。」以嚴肅的神情向著他們。「我跟櫻花樹下的鬼交換願望條件。」1000Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIkJVzYgLjN
1000Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzS4BFJDS9J
1000Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5iwM9DupJQ

「什麼？」光先是吃驚然後生氣地說，「笨蛋，跟那種東西交換願望是不會有好處的，你換了什麼？」1000Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlGwqWuIXNw
1000Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6C932pNhhc
1000Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyq9MrSW7SN

1000Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNuFbliotl5
1000Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4kcKoDbeOU

「什麼！你……」光吃驚得無法構成語言對於凜的行動感到生氣，不論從哪方面來看都想直接罵翻凜，只是腦子再度運轉時，光則是以嘆氣代替所有謾罵的說詞。「真搞不懂你想什麼耶……」

1000Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM93e8yuk8A
1000Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxsrVPaKyLj

「那你現在怎麼看得到我們？」美緒無法置信地問。1000Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ63RXAkisqp
1000Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqXaSBgcaq8
1000Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMcodGDqWr4

　凜鎮定地說出根本理由，「因為明天才會開始。」新一聽見已經哭了出來，雖然並非他自己發生，但是新憑想像就覺得恐懼，「凜是大笨蛋！這樣你就看不到我們了耶。還有很多很多……」1000Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1kfqKC26uX
1000Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR8MzeEzc3x
1000Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjmDe8JubEw

　凜思考了一下然後哽咽起來，「對不起……但我真的希望我媽不要那個樣子。我不是不在乎你們的意思……」接著他沉默著，看了眼前的三人好幾眼，然後再次開口，「所以讓我多看看你們吧。」1000Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVDRgaBgIgE
1000Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgGFyfrvdm5
1000Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4hmi8JNv9m

　　霎那間，突然聽到了急促的腳步聲逐漸靠近，然後打開了保健室的門，是一位成熟女性的聲音。「凜呢？一之瀨凜呢？」1000Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwIO9Uy72qM
1000Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4oqKG97fuR
1000Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZJPOG5Nh46

「妳是一之瀨的家長嗎？」保健室的女護士確認性地問道。1000Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxxibOsogLO
1000Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡecgZW4jIWA
1000Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfyRhtnPjBR

「是的。我就是不久前連繫上的一之瀨凜的媽媽。」她的樣子似乎急得要哭出來了。1000Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKwMxNhDutT
1000Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy5EViQ4rBR
1000Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2SgsRJkw5W

「在那個簾子裡面哦。」1000Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB9wAqx0uEp
1000Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNHEpJuPZes
1000Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8PgG1vb8yP

一聽到這樣的回應，女子立刻打開了簾子，「凜！」1000Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqI0GZUkezV
1000Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIrM7qxhj1I
1000Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV7SDOBlC7X

　凜意外地睜大了雙眼，另外三人也同樣如此反應，凜的母親抱住了凜，流著眼淚說出她的來意。「剛剛一直等不到你回家，我就好擔心你，結果接到學校電話說你昏倒在山腳，我就急著跑了過來。」1000Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq9HlO4mFT8
1000Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1rJ0XJYBHl
1000Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmwjmEMTdsJ

　凜也哭了出來，「媽媽……我好想妳，妳回來了……」1000Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDcAm6Uxa8H
1000Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdkcrKTOwpW
1000Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmSn2KycJtQ

　新、美緒、光看到這樣這樣景象也淡淡地苦笑，隱約地了解為什麼凜會不計任何代價也要母親回來，不過以朋友的角度來看，知道凜所承受的事，也覺得多少為凜感到不平。1000Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiKzrItyB2i

　　新、美緒及光後來一同住在凜的家裡，便幫忙把事情說給凜的母親，凜的母親聽了非常自責，凜的母親將他所發生的事他們。1000Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0g7WXuzPgp
1000Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4fVlWV3J6H
1000Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7SCcZUUy58

「當我醒來的時候，看到我身旁有好多的酒瓶，我看到的時候一臉茫然，感覺我的靈魂好像重新活了過來一樣，感覺很清醒，也記得我做的事，我很後悔，凜，對不起。我知道我做的事沒辦法彌補，從現在我會努力活下去的……把凜給平安養大……」1000Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXwYvt0kl40
1000Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc7y4Ft0W8F
1000Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0FTQAEWzvM

三人沉默不語，凜則是微笑著，「我很開心，我很開心我有這些朋友，感謝他們如此擔心我，而且媽媽也回來了，我覺得很值得。」1000Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA51AlLCWFO
1000Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD3bVmmUtme
1000Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW6Q5E9zn7w

「你很白目欸……」光撇開頭，沒打算領情凜的一番話。1000Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCNm2wWthma
1000Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3MLA5PHJVI
1000Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4XxybgyUz0
　　「真的……」美緒由於悲喜交疊的情緒，已經哭了出來，「說得好像真的有跟我們好好溝通過才去一樣……」1000Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡysWCRsm9Qz
1000Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTvPCWiqj84
1000Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ32UDk54NrA

1000Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXjKef1Mltm
1000Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjYHcDk6cSj

　他們享受著最後玩樂的時光，到了午夜也累壞了，除了美緒是在凜的媽媽房裡睡，其他兩人與凜睡在一起。1000Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ71k8ZxE2r7
1000Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj3vqle7qh3
1000Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj2H1An3gUF

「欸，凜。」光嗓音平淡地說，「雖然一開始我不理解你為什麼為了伯母而捨棄雙眼，而感到非常憤怒，但現在我了解了，也讓我了解到母親的愛多麼可貴。」1000Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1cuU0FOXLz
1000Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡizhVdZJfFE
1000Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLfHNJGP7IB

「對呀……」新接著光的話，「我一開始很難過耶，以為你不在乎我們呢……但是我誤會了，可能是我擁有媽媽的愛，所以才理解不了你的願望，但我現在了解了。」1000Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ35ENrxkutT
1000Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA8HZSrjhLB
1000Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGbJPv8VaFN

「感性時間已經過了啦。」凜哭笑不得，「我才要跟你們說，不要因為我眼瞎而丟棄我呢。」1000Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy06tg2OeFG
1000Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpUXbJhIqpJ
1000Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡomPMm4m6Z1

1000Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaeYVclo9ZO
1000Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2XhOEo3nN4

1000Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxE22phwcEV
1000Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIbAi5Sdjcw

1000Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8IKm5tZJqm

　這時的凜耳邊聽著他們的嬉鬧話語，默默地流下了感動的眼淚，不知不覺也睡著了，意識輕飄起來，在亮白的某處，看見女子的身影——1000Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmzWMbEzm7P
1000Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7Xjkm3wcNE
1000Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLcyC89dwkH

1000Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKqZx6QBvhf
1000Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr2bzLsCo9T

　櫻子輕輕擁抱住了凜，「還是有你這樣的人類呢，原來人類也有思想如此潔淨的人，許久沒見上這樣的人了呢。還是因為還是個孩子呢？」1000Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvnxOGJFkDp
1000Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpiC7HF8Flp

1000Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJP4fQabBcj
1000Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAvW6RtGr7D

　「但是，規則就是規則，我還是要取走你的雙眼哦。」櫻子伸手輕輕摸了凜的頭，「只是我決定，不完全取走你的雙眼，你還是會暫時失明兩年，兩年過了你的雙眼就會自己恢復了哦。」1000Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr2cs2TwqGT
1000Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOfJaKjL05E
1000Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgZ6V4z4aa8

櫻子的聲音漸漸逝去，凜突然聽到身旁的人喊他的聲音，他感覺自己睜開雙眼，但是真的看不到了。「……」1000Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmLOLNN6xiQ

1000Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6QHjwoEwYA
1000Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2KvwwzAdbq

　「兩年阿……」光淺笑著，心底算計起來似乎是真的不長也不算短時間，實際上還是比光預計的時間短，「那還好，還以為要照顧你一輩子呢，哈哈哈哈！」1000Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6LtU5jXA2o
