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。」1319Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡclzXTnGjt3
1319Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzOR4v7vRNv
1319Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZL1ZLU5m1Z
　　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。1319Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9LPdPVrbmb

　　　　　＂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——＂1319Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDdMXx5GFMP
1319Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIrczpbzRzT
1319Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoN3V4dql69

　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……？」1319Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqB0cxCFpLN
1319Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbutfKpeDCx

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？」1319Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡco95Q03gJk
1319Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSp1ajtnhI2

「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……」1319Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA9FIYkgx9w
1319Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbnjarJ6l01

「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？」1319Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWnKg2jljZK
1319Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY42uMvQuSE

　「是的……麻煩妳了。」1319Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ39vwqFXG4E
1319Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8pz4DBWqeR

　「你的眼睛好美，如果以你的雙眼交換，你願意嗎？」1319Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOK3uZv8SMa
1319Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZvd6AcbxDJ

「我願意。」凜堅定一口答應，似乎一點猶豫都沒有。1319Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTOjJ4dGbQQ
1319Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCC6sPBlaJT
　「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？」1319Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTQunEV67zb
1319Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnbNdZketyi

「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。」1319Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfwcZcW7BNZ
1319Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBzvk2DDeWy

「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。」1319Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqtcnbN0nmt
1319Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPwLaD8VFE2

「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。1319Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNbCI9o4HS5
1319Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7lXhOVidaM

「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。1319Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ9pSNhLY58

　　　　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。1319Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8PfLfSCMRV
1319Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT1aJLMTYg7
1319Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGwMrtbDYfg

　「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。」1319Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡchDvu8pIjy
1319Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwHz6frWJfr
1319Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA4iWet3mZe

「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！」1319Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnCUHQ4BjlW
1319Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLz0MVjIhjX

新則是直接撲上凜，「哇啊啊……凜啊！你還活著！」1319Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHkthgVudrn
1319Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOVscTNmrtT
1319Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs4TBZrHNWn

　「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～！」1319Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXtBXkA4ltt
1319Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5mWK2Ed4pe
1319Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkQytwK6IAM

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。」1319Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC0NJMoyoR1
1319Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv9NfLmWKwq
1319Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7JwEyK9jT0

「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？」1319Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDDqrJqBRT8
1319Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJitV1RgJcu
1319Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡefhERPpEA2

1319Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhAsik210ll
1319Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ33CQ8G3Ae4

「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……」

1319Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVA7xvsaICr
1319Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCYMwMG0oSF

「那你現在怎麼看得到我們？」美緒無法置信地問。1319Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcpIQjtJZWy
1319Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8qj6nA8FBg
1319Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡon2Z5Gcbp0

　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……」1319Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8iAIUxUoBw
1319Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoGPDoQFqIL
1319Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVb8sHqyxn1

　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。」1319Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlK966tZ5tH
1319Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvC0eWg8pOT
1319Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0zPTNbf6Gs

　　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？」1319Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtRY9bOGddI
1319Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡibso3wu0I3
1319Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw2qNYQLGzb

「妳是一之瀨的家長嗎？」保健室的女護士確認性地問道。1319Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhQgDptXYiN
1319Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLpgzMUOavQ
1319Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAMRJ6Y2Mqg

「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。1319Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGbO31SgyZY
1319Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTZjoCANyYY
1319Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfkxHmvq1gv

「在那個簾子裡面哦。」1319Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7Fg8JghuuR
1319Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh1EOK5emzY
1319Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRa8dQd3Vwt

一聽到這樣的回應，女子立刻打開了簾子，「凜！」1319Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHnR7WjrYfw
1319Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡodJlCyVE4F
1319Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoVpXcaaMEz

　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。」1319Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwvmW7u1WG1
1319Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtHImzyll4A
1319Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEOvoG1Ku4p

　凜也哭了出來，「媽媽……我好想妳，妳回來了……」1319Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb77olkpD3D
1319Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6Kjumb4bBX
1319Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG06raRWEHT

　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。1319Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTqStgma9hB

　　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。1319Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1exI9IMpKm
1319Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwDYFi9mg5Z
1319Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ5sVWlhk6W

「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……」1319Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqOwik6uuZU
1319Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1OMm8G6ErV
1319Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt05QaIxzZQ

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。」1319Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEF2gEMeFlA
1319Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhef7tUqo7R
1319Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxeSGczkOgj

「你很白目欸……」光撇開頭，沒打算領情凜的一番話。1319Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1eFYS8zZmb
1319Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6e8S7DetIL
1319Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjTEhpsuile
　　「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……」1319Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBTIoxssOFR
1319Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1sXJ7VZOs8
1319Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe80H1IbNuf

1319Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUFAFOZ5cgN
1319Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJROWZOJEt2

　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。1319Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNLjC2aX4Zo
1319Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEt6Bh0WKVz
1319Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp8ecan69pg

「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。」1319Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy3NcyvM5g0
1319Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvv1vTgRJMt
1319Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSOIPxa2qiX

「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。」1319Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrKiuLMht4p
1319Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcgv5IQWE9T
1319Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbBpFoQIfV8

「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。」1319Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCXbLg6tOCC
1319Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJZuuVzZ6rh
1319Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzvaMs3pLbn

1319Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv6aehh2DY8
1319Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnmHs88ukqH

1319Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡekA1oEcZPU
1319Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM6dDjhihpo

1319Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8t6Sq1vSSY

　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——1319Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaKk2OYyD35
1319Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMSIH8RFVDh
1319Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhpZJBSvZmj

1319Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡauxeOK5rGN
1319Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHtbh0Xie59

　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？」1319Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3EsHYPLCEF
1319Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoNNwdDdB2R

1319Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHht8Y8xmt0
1319Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZMB2bFXjSE

　「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。」1319Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZiAAWKx6SM
1319Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm6bMPfvB5L
1319Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1QIaV5Pbg5

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。「……」1319Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡorpQzfhT4K

1319Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBiWQMqgAZl
1319Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6ZaPq7G8jW

　「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！」1319Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiXWCjht3Yv
1319Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC04YhbpmER
