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。」1296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhRCxjrogLQ
1296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLdErHI4mgx
1296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP9nnsHQVTn
　　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。1296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6GatVsmkDG

　　　　　＂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——＂1296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSNvoYKgL4N
1296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCJfw58aqdX
1296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0kCOrzMiXh

　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……？」1296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJnWvKxIWuw
1296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe69y53212a

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？」1296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡALVBZydXHR
1296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnMyU2kbneR

「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……」1296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeJBLCYdPff
1296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLt69DMt2C5

「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？」1296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtq2HlRm8QP
1296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOzbClkO2JP

　「是的……麻煩妳了。」1296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFuQF1imrXe
1296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTwysx45Tie

　「你的眼睛好美，如果以你的雙眼交換，你願意嗎？」1296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoyIPWokMhm
1296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn0eWST1PWa

「我願意。」凜堅定一口答應，似乎一點猶豫都沒有。1296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNbDeSh1FgD
1296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8v53lEvsjM
　「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？」1296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiHEz13NoFd
1296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz51rlmWWoU

「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。」1296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJiBKJ5JB6Q
1296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMIUCpz88Ym

「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。」1296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡng5Mi1Ngye
1296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEZ4jzOBvKX

「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。1296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiGIbIzneLb
1296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5zsUzsKxa8

「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。1296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRYkrbUqAf7

　　　　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。1296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW0N7I6MAOk
1296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeg4KL6yZeH
1296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpBS56hFK8z

　「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。」1296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd9bAkSeOYn
1296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTl2DuwmbI5
1296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPP87Mhn7gs

「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！」1296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmDJAl52NLS
1296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjtbDYepN2t

新則是直接撲上凜，「哇啊啊……凜啊！你還活著！」1296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKzBF8AtYmU
1296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsBHqemenAU
1296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGLTbXw0P15

　「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～！」1296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5fSfO9vtGf
1296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxN8ZNXytf6
1296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9jCGE2wiPy

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。」1296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjADy8SSqga
1296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIsJgakHkuV
1296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk1QpI2OI8s

「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？」1296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfh8xMatMLf
1296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWxBKvYFvpY
1296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFp9GoXYtpq

「雙眼。」1296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7yQ4sBL2ZH
1296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmGDPzFUwDB
1296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlP7Cn6DruZ

「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……」

1296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR1UoezQWiW
1296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtqbB6bBIFL

「那你現在怎麼看得到我們？」美緒無法置信地問。1296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHcAvBzlCQN
1296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7hHxlwAFnJ
1296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKjqXTNniXA

　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……」1296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAfjSv8eNsr
1296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmZ1QRIqoyU
1296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTKVHGnXQ6v

　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。」1296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsq8efnRDX7
1296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwVE1R6WCxk
1296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUigvdShw8B

　　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？」1296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡko4WDy7GVP
1296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuOEIoERBpG
1296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNcO5zHk0S2

「妳是一之瀨的家長嗎？」保健室的女護士確認性地問道。1296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdLaY6Cw8X2
1296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6AhtTjlcrv
1296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3GxBpXaBoh

「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。1296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIXbmSr1ZU5
1296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG1lT4WlGcT
1296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKlcU1e1OsW

1296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE97uFane3h
1296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrVQWRF02MS

一聽到這樣的回應，女子立刻打開了簾子，「凜！」1296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2h2QawXRgx
1296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTRackFHew1
1296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAzNcxcXZgQ

　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。」1296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr0Bj24yaCj
1296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGuGvhT7NjA
1296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5OIWlNv9Oh

　凜也哭了出來，「媽媽……我好想妳，妳回來了……」1296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡURBHOvEp9B
1296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3Gj6A6L6IG
1296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1tzNalP14A

　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。1296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE5ouiIiyCl

　　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。1296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9dUa1mkbi2

1296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSBIbNILha4

「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……」1296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeams7XiYvg
1296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7YJeffNean
1296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq8RBG6cyBV

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。」1296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyOE05XRIST
1296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVUCD4kVc2C
1296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRCPIiwL2Rn

「你很白目欸……」光撇開頭，沒打算領情凜的一番話。1296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlHojc7Jjt8
1296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmNxgQ9ScxP
1296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiIQZOUytKI
　　「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……」1296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgOvepFgx2E
1296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3ibCgSdUEE
1296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9hk1uPQXVb

1296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVASLlvuM1x
1296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRNrLBHJQJt

　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。1296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCqPjD44Gmb
1296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0xlR5eE4p9
1296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRxleU2DkTY

「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。」1296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9EvSUheRh3
1296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡckLC00m1H5
1296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUMZ2f6s0NC

「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。」1296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5OwXDFGKiC
1296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡih9wYekYDL
1296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZlx7wiBkYh

「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。」1296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡONajEGBXFU
1296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡltcNFsc0ag
1296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXEto1oipRM

1296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPIzAwhL2cL
1296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5OQFpwmWCm

1296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwGXaccwEI1
1296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyMdeqQAJVz

1296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdOvgg20YWn

　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——1296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdGFKg3wUsx
1296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpnbrcmfk6t
1296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbzSUXeTNG2

1296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVdlGVcFYfT
1296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfUZbek3qEG

　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？」1296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnfgXVQnWCM
1296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡknb1KgDqkN

1296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVU0hDUU5Hj
1296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCnfvpKoEyJ

　「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。」1296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjnPWcp44k3
1296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5qUvLDhFUQ
1296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXtQryBtTE3

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。「……」1296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHLP5o6lsxZ

1296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbtbHEQhkie
1296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW6uzGI9KLF

　「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！」1296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUYP4UzuJJQ
1296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkOhVQA01Q1
