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。」1105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiYRsnmmfBN
1105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEo9ugr81oP
1105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTKBZzNsV3Q
　　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。1105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQu48wFlCQb

　　　　　＂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——＂1105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQUBNKziLjx
1105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1V7Pa2ssoa
1105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6j2RMvXurm

　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……？」1105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTTs406tpab
1105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7JihlsJ73G

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？」1105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHehjxiw9b8
1105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeQFBjPTbzZ

「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……」1105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB8ENFej0gV
1105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0pz1o1yRwE

「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？」1105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4geQPFvHMY
1105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuSS7aRd0Y9

　「是的……麻煩妳了。」1105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ13kDq8cu3f
1105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLYh4wowzgh

　「你的眼睛好美，如果以你的雙眼交換，你願意嗎？」1105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUBBQMFI9mB
1105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgAlLTp6Zpb

「我願意。」凜堅定一口答應，似乎一點猶豫都沒有。1105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQtsVFU4vvF
1105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1YRrxM8Odo
　「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？」1105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6eiQ2VYTlF
1105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHdmkEm7XZZ

「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。」1105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2zSrpEuTyq
1105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0uWp9LCmdM

「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。」1105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ85zSkzI2mM
1105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfRiumMl1e8

「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。1105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEts1JNqAhA
1105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmPfNwSJiAE

「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。1105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIpsjCljEwm

　　　　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。1105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPlBtJYvvcO

1105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdzPjThqs0X
1105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxCYMWPEYAc

「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！」1105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnYtStGIXhl
1105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnVE9sWxupL

新則是直接撲上凜，「哇啊啊……凜啊！你還活著！」1105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQEWLYTiLr8
1105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmfJXQAnNFw
1105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFjTuTqFBwB

　「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～！」1105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSaSqW5hS26
1105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnS1oiBjFtd
1105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa9v9k3fqJ4

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。」1105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLjX6NqUnDn
1105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTxTiywMhTd
1105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHrT9XeeXRx

1105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ83MxuvBmg1
1105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡddb2sSwSt8

「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……」

1105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL64Rt3GeZc
1105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfHfkd16bSa

「那你現在怎麼看得到我們？」美緒無法置信地問。1105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD6tpyBIVbi
1105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXdXGacID0V
1105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgdyHUl0Msi

　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……」1105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN15S1XXi5h
1105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8pligMgpNw
1105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8dh5soQrLW

　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。」1105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJbESXNBFvK
1105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXZYqmeBDHk
1105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy1fUlHixRY

　　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？」1105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKdHt4bPm0w
1105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwH1mMjB3MD
1105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpvFa48Oe1m

「妳是一之瀨的家長嗎？」保健室的女護士確認性地問道。1105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUShEj99H7F
1105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo2d6hkxVkY
1105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmcmwW7VJae

「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。1105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwDx0DSQxCW

1105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuSZxvMe0wV

1105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgtAa7vGfzu
1105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOc7oQ3sxkt

　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。」1105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8Y5nsn0Ph5
1105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0iSwu3ks1A
1105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6qLR4a1rdT

1105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNR6wKtoL9g
1105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNn0300OQoc

　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。1105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbx5lFwKl7a

　　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。1105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyz9G3Q3U28

「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……」1105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMQvFXzBDWX
1105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡItYOFJkC5W
1105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOmXdICqCS2

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。」1105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBYcpEA3OUk
1105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYhJp9aQfAB

1105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgEzObhUGXI
1105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzQ1bRNIzQL

1105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH6IyJpfQAs

「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。」1105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp6buQv6CP4
1105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYopO6bIx3S
1105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ776advp5F5

「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。」1105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoeteRVFzsW
1105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUBcO0GaDps
1105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnE9lCK0Bqx

　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——1105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuXerffOXUk

　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？」1105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw2crQJBcgj

1105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4sCSGhq88O
1105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMfzngWjnoa

　「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。」1105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBngMus2VcK
1105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSG0q1Ju0B7
