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。」996Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjUlxC46Iwu
996Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6cIkABOs2o
996Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeZLM7xdbfX
　　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。996Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0dLNNMr0mF

　　　　　＂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——＂996Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkX0FZDL0Gr
996Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPbAI0C6k2S
996Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBpAxzppMSj

　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……？」996Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtBTn8yLa2B
996Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNgAVbJEhNv

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？」996Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi88pmxYoyc
996Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpqtlgrxqcd

「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……」996Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWL7uISuzTI
996Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVRpcTScyis

「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？」996Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn1uOG9PYYw
996Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfSv3uAjSk0

　「是的……麻煩妳了。」996Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnfDs3XSrSj
996Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3SftvXVuPD

　「你的眼睛好美，如果以你的雙眼交換，你願意嗎？」996Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8nn5Kr3mdh
996Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxxAaUCAdb4

「我願意。」凜堅定一口答應，似乎一點猶豫都沒有。996Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4ru5rcZzrd
996Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4j5mx0OSBN
　「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？」996Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAEVbHtxiGZ
996Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡldGiHeVRwk

「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。」996Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwd7ceiwLSC
996Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV2ytElyTb2

「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。」996Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoKOMlcbLS5
996Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvX4vujRtyB

「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。996Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTpO3t9Nba6
996Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDlwgBqhKTj

「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。996Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqcE72G4c2X

　　　　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。996Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9aohaF5ePY

　「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。」996Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEqCiUnQVeW
996Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUF5Z4AbkLp
996Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPozDVJJLqo

「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！」996Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡljy7RT9sa7
996Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwt6iiEjF7j

新則是直接撲上凜，「哇啊啊……凜啊！你還活著！」996Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsAq99HVi1O
996Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7c91lnj1MZ
996Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJAP5Nzx7Xw

　「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～！」996Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZXnKFeHTli
996Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡacQqNE2r8g
996Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrrc4YztZTV

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。」996Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTDa6zyd00y
996Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ86OqlNrjT2
996Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUT7lTqkzAP

「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？」996Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJeo2E89DbG
996Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVkWNu2JGzF

996Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1MHrsC6ar8
996Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr4I4xSSBH0

「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……」

996Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnJNbRmF5SY
996Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfFzCnuKEK5

「那你現在怎麼看得到我們？」美緒無法置信地問。996Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgYealCoBhb
996Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnPN2KnD7Z6
996Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjXSVl1MbnJ

　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……」996Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb1KWqarF9q
996Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRV2hOWcadC
996Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTO3NRB6VVi

　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。」996Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZmRotmOXKC
996Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvkmDLEEVfr
996Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiflXNn9IyY

　　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？」996Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ05cfVJ6OzB
996Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ03Uz1a7xfg
996Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuHBT4BgKrw

「妳是一之瀨的家長嗎？」保健室的女護士確認性地問道。996Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgrny1fq6zy
996Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGMWXSafPc3
996Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuYkqw29ReM

「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。996Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoh8zTtuM2a

996Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCrUZb3pLyK

一聽到這樣的回應，女子立刻打開了簾子，「凜！」996Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHs4vq4Q9Eq
996Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOXcVqkQ8J4
996Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlh8qU57gLj

　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。」996Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjvpyYLtqVe
996Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsb5K5hyxhO
996Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9424BC75F7

　凜也哭了出來，「媽媽……我好想妳，妳回來了……」996Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqqDeMBDgvf
996Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAE1AbXbZw6
996Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDQ0b0Faoeg

　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。996Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9MTM3cBxOl

　　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。996Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa7oChrctWE

「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……」996Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWkOjKSs4d0
996Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2x9iqGQN90
996Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm2HT6ugbeg

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。」996Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4i53kFtZIg
996Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl9traEXQ5t
996Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJm7n4Tz3zA

「你很白目欸……」光撇開頭，沒打算領情凜的一番話。996Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiBI2kMTjcY
996Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK00w9UFRS8
996Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdSHT2VvTKM
　　「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……」996Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKNcCrGxmLb
996Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlqTMpsLqUG
996Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkPJPmUtF4Z

996Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp0FcU7wUni

　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。996Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGNdYJrXz9E
996Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7piDb3HcJX
996Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5jLnFspqzl

「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。」996Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2q1IXX88X2
996Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuNSFbYpa1O
996Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJv3VPoxe0N

「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。」996Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWsG772O817
996Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQg7Uvjd3wJ
996Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4HuiRGpWa7

「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。」996Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0finc9izxk
996Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ1biYFGGh1
996Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz4A9Xt3XFk

996Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuK4TqE3zhe
996Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbSybwkigu0

996Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtkMywvXYwE

996Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA0nHRthUNN
996Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEJLPdm47dD

　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——996Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgNuiEilVJo

996Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2KMlqQAQUD

　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？」996Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCfM92bB9V3
996Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVa9ArvZgdM

996Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtukhpeIzev
996Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1gxUNh8888

　「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。」996Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyNaIEJC9Hv
996Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQgB062rwPf
996Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDS2QjnKP7D

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。「……」996Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRfIlIgQ6lM
