迴響的隆隆聲如同夢境般遠去。391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6i0UMs2Ptv
391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGKJmqgRaqF
從開出的小縫裡，一道狹窄的光切開了無邊無際的黑暗。391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTvpBXm4pc4
391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡENKAAzLrv8
杜若四肢著地地爬出櫥櫃，然後回過頭托著紫藤的肩膀離開那片狹小的黑暗。391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXKZzXHICqh
391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMrQAGgu2FT
兩人並著肩在階梯旁仰起頭喘著氣，久違地照進眼裡的燈光刺眼眩目，但再怎麼說也比不見天日的黑暗要來得令人安心。391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ57grAxeo5x
391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1EWVd59PVg
連沙華會都靜謐下來，就代表連凌晨也快要結束了吧。391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHEl01vlvqu
391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB4ZFcQlXzK
就連喘息的時間也如同光明般狹窄，兩人不可能在這再休息到早晨來臨。於是，杜若一感覺到力氣開始回流到四肢時，就起身伸出手牽起虛弱的紫藤。391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwlF7s8CKJe
391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqNKv9NSoQF
「走吧。我們一起回去。」391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJHtMJuAC2h
391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZdevdK3bzF
這麼說了之後，杜若便鑽進紫藤的脅下，用窄小的肩頭努力撐起紫藤向前。391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAKnyuMDLyQ
391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhhRalT7OER
一路上，兩人就這樣攙扶著彼此，幸運地毫無阻礙便回到了西區。391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVhm2Sgr6dY
391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡokIl9WoxGy
為了處理傷口，杜若讓紫藤靠到了床板上頭。391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwoPevveynx
391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm3xXMTt8cD
「嗚……！」391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgVf46toygJ
391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNFzySvmSql
消毒藥水碰到傷口的劇痛，讓紫藤吃痛地叫出悶聲。391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX1rdYbpzEW
391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeIJ1LEc1gg
「很痛嗎……？」杜若停下動作，擔憂地看向紫藤。391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8wPO9GyaVj
391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoxjLJ0YFhR
回到西區的路上，紫藤甚至虛弱到就連話都沒辦法說了。所以哪怕只是一聲也好，杜若也想要聽見紫藤的聲音。391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjpA5VLvyMd
391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXGsiPxYD3m
而痛楚彷彿把紫藤的魂給拉了回來，宛如大夢初醒般地看了杜若和手中的棉花棒後，紫藤才喘著氣、略略地頷首。391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIX9ZWpwFtO
391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqdlVZLgl1u
「……我還可以忍。」說完，紫藤打直手臂。391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7Xi1Rys6Vz
391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj4K5uELMZR
杜若點點頭，卻宛如做錯了事一般地垂下眼簾。391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoL4rbPMbVw
391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJmJ1kIIStg
如果不是自己想要聽信墨駒，也不會讓墨駒有機可趁了——但現在後悔也沒有用，照顧受傷的紫藤才是眼下應該做的事。391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjkdmAu59mt
391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBGAVbfJby7
「那、再忍耐一下就好。」391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1yiTczi07T
391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ49CA0pXI1X
「呼、呼……嗚——！」391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4PNcOOKkaP
391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGtg2TVZoPC
紫藤試著吸氣來緩和疼痛，卻還是沒辦法不吃痛地發出聲音來。清潔並上完藥後，杜若小心地用紗布蓋起那道駭人的傷口並纏上繃帶，原本純白的繃帶立刻就被染成了一片暗紅。391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfyn4oB6Z9a
391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJm1fEZ0ErQ
現在只能做這樣的應急處理，等到明天還是得去醫院才行。幸好公用醫療箱裡頭還有這些基本的醫療用品，不然就這樣放著傷口，今晚紫藤恐怕連躺下都會有困難。391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ03WZvueXOO
391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXbS0PLihod
疼痛過了幾次呼吸才終於緩和下來。杜若拿來水杯靠在紫藤的嘴巴上，讓紫藤小口小口地補充水分。391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxPC1QFcwZZ
391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7LkXuR1XEv
滋潤冰涼地滑過喉間，直到此時、紫藤才終於有種放下心來的感覺。391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9K13gCgMTj
391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3J2JLChNvX
「還要喝嗎？」杜若捧著還有一半的水杯，輕柔地問。391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOwMnDo1u9s
391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLX1474PPkJ
杜若關心的神情就好像是流經喉頭的水那樣沁入了紫藤的胸口。於是紫藤點點頭，再次把嘴湊了過去。391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5xREyblRkJ
391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ44TIhPB5aw
等到杯子空了、正想伸手擦乾嘴角時，杜若就先一步用手帕抹上了紫藤的嘴角。391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZUGhwhivSY
391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8gboysydYv
「……謝謝。」391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfnEYCFrFqy
391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTnjzmehhL2
「不會啦，現在也輪到我照顧紫藤了。」杜若收起手帕，露出了彷彿可以烘乾衣服的溫暖笑容。391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡswIGvdTfZY
391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjoBx2nqEkD
明明、對方不久前才在自己的面前殺了人，但現在看著杜若的側臉，紫藤卻盡只感到安心跟鬆了一口氣的感覺一湧而上。391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT4BEKCdiU9
391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5CjHEUVC9e
是自己終於開始習慣了嗎？那時，紫藤的手上就已經流滿鮮血，卻只有砸在墨駒臉上時所沾上的溼黏感格外鮮明。就好像在入睡前的一場夢境，令紫藤感到有些恍惚。391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtdP4DsfkD9
391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjpayuC2kDd
不過，這無疑都是事實。391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7AHIt1s70X
391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMBFnxF0mag
掌心中，那枚墨駒沒能拿回去的、鑲著淡紫色寶石的銀戒就是最好的證據。391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8DXbThr7FO
391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVeJIVB9N0D
紫藤壓根也沒想到有能夠尋回這枚戒指的一天。對紫藤來說、只受這點傷就找回了它簡直是太划算了。391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJKpkD1ASma
391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8nEFQ6N56C
「紫藤、這個戒指到底是……？」杜若好奇地看著手中的戒指，疑惑地歪過頭。391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCO8PhgsXYy
391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡescTgd7OHR
沉默了半晌，紫藤才慢慢地開口。391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx6VIGgvECc
391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRoJPfvnlD2
「是我媽媽的遺物。」391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqvBhOIDpxP
391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOmfglYJ23o
戒指的內緣刻著一行寫著母親名字的小字，證明了這就是那枚獨一無二的戒指。雖然紫藤對父親沒有任何印象，但母親卻經常以懷念的面容提起關於父親的事情。391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPYCaBKNkmC
391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa7UlPvhlBA
「咦……？那為什麼會在墨駒的手裡呀？」杜若不假思索地問道。391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtDgGrulCGI
391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO3ZBNcp354
「我也不知道。」紫藤搖搖頭，黯然地闔上雙眼。391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJEkH1095cc
391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuhMFkyHZys
紫藤從來不曾對同輩的人說過這些事，但現在、紫藤卻覺得讓杜若知道也無妨。391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSSIzqTA0yi
391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH6pTBCb3XA
「可是媽媽他、就是被沙華會的人給殺死的。」就好像在試圖壓下傷口的灼熱似地，紫藤輕撫著前臂的紗布，緩緩地繼續說道：391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIS9XMHqb4Z
391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyB0WQ5HbOm
「小時候，我的媽媽曾經向沙華會借過錢。但最後，媽媽卻因為還不出錢來……而被沙華會給殺了。」391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ17z6OcC2Wj
391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiISpu6ne1l
媽媽並不是沒辦法還出錢來，只是在最後一刻、錢竟然被劫走了。紫藤怎麼想都覺得奇怪、為什麼就這麼剛好在那種時候？如今，紫藤認為那一切全都是沙華會的伎倆，他們根本沒有想讓母親還清債務的意思，只想在那一年裡壓榨完母親所有的心力、等到沒價值了就宰殺掉而已。391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxeTV1cLVB0
391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLQwvZ01HqR
「這就是那時候、他們從媽媽的身上搶走的東西之一。」391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdaklpqoNUP
391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡauGgnf6L6V
紫藤至今——至死都不會忘記母親在自己的眼前被殺掉的畫面。年幼的自己只能無力地躲在一旁，看著母親殘忍地被一刀刀殘殺至死。391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRsL2OziGCT
391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQwNraGLP6Q
從那時起，濺在臉上的那朵紅花就已經在紫藤的心頭生根。391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS9zj6e14ZR
391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTtgDTu1Okw
只是，紫藤也從未想過竟然會在途中找到母親生前的遺物，紫藤覺得自己簡直幸運的無以復加。391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGnzdWCfh3F
391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVVzMZDyUUw
「原來……這是對紫藤來說這麼重要的東西啊。」391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiVaph2zTNg
391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzP7ck973Bf
「嗯。」紫藤在胸前連同戒指握緊了拳頭。391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo3o75gCZRr
391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5N4jamoVy4
對紫藤來說，媽媽所留下的東西沒有一個不是珍貴的。無論是這個房間、髮飾、還是這枚戒指，都是媽媽曾經存在過的證明。哪怕再也微不足道，紫藤也想要盡可能地將它們攬在手中。391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo6pnaniRvq
391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡljqkapM6WD
自己已經不想要再失去任何東西了。391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXBAHpbGbdK
391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfqK7uapoeb
「紫藤的媽媽是個什麼樣的人、可以跟我說說嗎？」杜若露出了既好奇又害怕冒犯的眼神、試探地探出腦袋。391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ03Wgu1e5ss
391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvs2kgGsc5F
紫藤思考地垂下了眼簾幾秒。而再次睜開眼時，紫藤已經將目光放到了不知遙遠的何處。391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSrgrG5tdxE
391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSr5TAN5ngj
「媽媽他——」391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpn7mu1nqh4
391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnCG92gPtJc
以這句話做為開場白後，紫藤便將那些早已被自己翻到泛黃的回憶給拿了出來。391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7z2ZeQREcV
391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVDj4EaOc4L
小時候，紫藤最常從街上的大叔大嬸嘴聽到的一句話就是「跟媽媽很像」。391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR4hpJSEU18
391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtpmdKRBs6t
同樣有著一頭的黑色長髮、話也同樣不怎麼多。而唯一不同的，就是媽媽是個非常堅強的女性，總是用那粗糙而修長的手把紫藤給攬在身後。391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeN8y1Fvd0H
391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ08uyjtz9Hg
而媽媽在南區有間小小的、買賣布料的店面，小時候的紫藤最喜歡的就是跟在媽媽後頭一起做生意。儘管有時候會因為笨手笨腳而挨其他大叔大嬸的罵，但那卻是紫藤最為快樂的一段時光。391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkOUZj3xRT1
391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKXUagMkBb3
只是在紫藤逐漸長大後，媽媽卻漸漸不希望紫藤跟著自己，而想要把紫藤託付給學校。391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzfwmkEf2gD
391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1nKIH9YSWT
但紫藤一點都不喜歡學校。391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbLU0zQ8DZk
391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsJZzOYw5D6
比起那些吵吵鬧鬧又喜歡惡作劇的小孩子，紫藤更喜歡跟在可靠卻寡言的媽媽後頭，幫忙結帳、整理或是裁剪布料。391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzlXVR3Y0w5
391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkK3w2NjX44
對當時的紫藤而言，媽媽這麼做就好像是想要把自己給拋棄一樣。391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGxjESoyFcq
391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ1HlGHGaMC
於是紫藤頭一次跟媽媽吵架了。那是一場紫藤單方面地對著媽媽出氣的架，從頭到尾媽媽都只是靜靜地傾聽著紫藤的任性，偶爾像在思考著什麼地低下頭來。391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUEYmAzaY5l
391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFlw9qI5Qdi
而在那之後，媽媽就再也沒有要紫藤去上學了。只是摸摸紫藤的頭以後，就像以前一樣，讓磕磕絆絆的紫藤跟在自己的後頭做生意。391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnGAXU3MINR
391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5n8r8dF8rB
嗯，這樣就夠了。那時的紫藤只有這麼單純的滿足。391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7wa116Dbbc
391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTeBHRoFRFH
然而這樣的日子持續不久。在一個秋天的傍晚、鉛炭鎮發生了一起極其嚴重的意外。391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkmg2aVP5Me
391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA46zmPPymR
那是一起倒塌事件。391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXMAUafbKIB
391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgHIcjDNz60
由於鉛炭鎮的樓房蓋的十分緊密，因此只要一棟樓倒塌，便極容易引發連鎖效應。那起倒塌事件就現在的記載，足足有將近二十棟的樓房倒塌、傷亡數更是難以記載。391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6IQUzA9LKv
391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3FSGcGmgCO
雖然沒有受到倒塌事件的直接傷害，但媽媽的店面卻因此全毀，讓兩人頓時失去了幾乎所有的財產。391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkIKwztsQK7
391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxXSypihmHo
那之後就如紫藤所說，媽媽為了生存而選擇向沙華會借貸。在那一年裡，媽媽幾乎從未闔眼休息、只為了賺回損失的財產。391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpUk3z8lped
391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2Kml1HFGPu
那時的媽媽早已面容枯槁。而殘忍地將其心力、金錢、生命盡數奪走的惡意，正是沙華會。391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwMiELGfVS8
391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXjuWyontyx
「……我會找到給墨駒這個戒指的人。」391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp0xO4SZwB7
391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqlv3jhRz6D
收起回憶，紫藤再次握緊了戒指。391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoDkD7YL5C4
391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm5nWUxka2m
「然後，殺了他。」391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaTydPosYbH
391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAJl8xeqfQy
紫藤的眼神猶如熾火，沒有一分一毫的搖曳。391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH8VcHywArU
391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0jgt3JYTNP
但只不過幾秒，便很快地萎靡了下來。391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡknNC3HDBKA
391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDSfX0AmEmM
「可是、我卻下不了手。」紫藤無力地鬆開了手：「不管怎麼樣……我都沒辦法像杜若妳那樣。」391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb856SRoiBJ
391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcMwQQ50FOQ
明知道沙華會是惡，紫藤卻無法真的對那群敗類下殺手。也許正是因為那時媽媽遭到殺害的畫面烙印得太過深刻，紫藤才會下意識地抑制著、不讓那副景象再次出現吧。391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPz8lIeyI2m
391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwVtsJUs5yD
而自己的這份軟弱，既沒有人可以幫助紫藤克服，也不會有人能夠理解——除了杜若。391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYwg8RVzZXn
391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHC10dt4Imv
「原來、這就是紫藤想要跟我一起行動的原因呀。」391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ24lDpmescm
391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv0BPX6sQin
「……嗯。」391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs8DUkieQEW
391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkQo1eAjhI3
那時見到的杜若是如此純粹，就好像一把剛從水中淬出的刀刃般，不帶著任何一絲污穢。391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMb1gB9ipaD
391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA13oM6tvjr
紫藤深信，這就是自己向那些骯髒禽獸復仇的楔子。391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡromriAOaER
391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoQQLptOucJ
這就是足以斬斷自己心頭那朵紅花的白刃。391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡewnYjGTZRA
391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoMn8uLHmNR
「……杜若妳呢？」391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMajINFIigQ
391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4YsTWXREg7
紫藤拾起快要滿溢的情感，回望了杜若那如新月般的雙眸。391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD45j4mu5KG
391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbpFAHbInme
「又是為什麼……會開始當殺手？」391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5NTBMrzeU2
391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5bkGccyLY9
剛才、杜若確實說過想要請鎮裡最好的醫生，但杜若看起來並不像是患有什麼嚴重疾病或是殘缺的樣子。391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdqVgnIsIE4
391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrhDt8ryBOm
聽見紫藤的疑問，杜若就好像是在思考、也像是在害怕似地垂下了眼簾。391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrmj8JvKqsn
391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC1GV9nTwlQ
「紫藤……不會生氣吧？」391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ90A970saCG
391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk7QyGCKwY6
杜若果然還在意著那時自己的衝動。391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPmmyP7avKg
391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpzZVtfhL73
但如果是要請醫生，怎麼樣也不會是做不好的事吧？紫藤這麼想著，舉起沒受傷的手摸了摸杜若的頭頂。391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGHfmBTmmno
391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnslR9AqoHa
「不會。」紫藤堅定地說：「我保證。」391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbjsDufLiLp
391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgQaTG14JIZ
等到紫藤緩緩收起手後，杜若才按著胸口，下定決心地開口。391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6m2CChlNmY
391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd84qRUgbqC
「……我想要救陶壺叔。」391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu7sp2bNg3L
391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgBpbSJwSdL
杜若喃喃吐出的回答令紫藤感到十分意外。391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgEE7B6DTYt
391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5joYjsah0n
之前見到陶壺叔確實是在北大街，但陶壺叔本人看上去並沒有多大的病痛呀？391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgCrdft2e6y
391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9A14CP0sKS
就好像發現了紫藤的疑惑，杜若幽幽地繼續說道：391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡByiz4bqkTA
391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUXBI452qXm
「陶壺叔生的是一種會讓身體漸漸沒辦法動的病。醫生說，雖然現在只有手指，但很快就會變成手、腳、身體……最後是心臟。只要過不了四年，陶壺叔就會被那種病給殺死了。」391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRu62znSVnC
391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjiPna6Gmm7
全身慢慢就會不能動的病？391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3UbJBDRtbo
391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0ZFguIun9I
這種病紫藤是頭一次聽見。391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH1wTtRaf9H
391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2whRRoQc0V
「我也偷偷問了很多醫生，但他們都說那是一種沒辦法治好的病。明明是這樣，但陶壺叔從來都沒跟我說過、還一直都笑著裝作沒事。直到我不小心聽到其他醫生跟白鵑提到陶壺叔，我才知道陶壺叔一直都瞞著我。」391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmulRpacDah
391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDrU3Efx41o
「現在陶壺叔已經沒辦法走很長的路、也不太能拿重的東西了。」杜若的口氣變得哀傷起來，卻也有一份同等重量的不甘心。391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8Wscp3c3uT
391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5DwvpG8EXd
「我明明也想要幫忙陶壺叔的，可是、我卻不知道自己到底該怎麼做才好——因為就連醫生都沒辦法了嘛。」391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6pFK1VttmR
391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡftC2h43rGP
杜若的笑只看得見無力。391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIoU6JIac2B
391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCVNOrXX3c7
「直到有天，狐狸告訴我說她有辦法，但前提就是要幫忙她去殺掉那些人。所以，狐狸才發給了我這把槍、還有手機。」391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVhTErfdFdx
391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTolGdBnYU2
到這裡，杜若便沒有繼續說下去了。391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9anYSNsFV0
391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdjlPMSKsM2
並不是因為仇恨，也不是因為利益，而只是單單地想要為某人而付出。杜若的理由就跟個性一樣是如此單純、甚至令紫藤的胸口刺痛。391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtqxiEYG9sf
391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsZeBfYX3PH
然而，紫藤卻忍不住想要質疑的念頭。391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkVZSKKbjbU
391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ2WvYxfmYe
「那個狐狸、真的就這麼值得相信嗎？」391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ44xnf5MOlJ
391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9nP13GzYSf
如果就連鎮裡最優秀的人都沒辦法了，狐狸又怎麼可能醫好陶壺叔的病？再者，就算殺死的是沙華會的人，讓還只是女孩的杜若去持槍犯險本身就很荒謬。391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJoDHpIoRKy
391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLFnaxA6Eb9
「……狐狸一直都對我很好呀。」391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHEg1TkvdzU
391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRHcr1EHqC8
杜若笑了。卻讓人分不清那是真的笑容、還是在故作堅強，讓紫藤的鼻子裡無聲地滑過一陣酸楚。391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡodFsqp5GfP
391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaaEwQTAyz1
「所以，我還是相信狐狸。」391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUdwDqExLWu
391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0hlLoqYFAq
杜若就好像在對自己喊話似地緊緊握起拳頭，但小小的手中、有的卻只有虛無。391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsgcVvVH4Xo
391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrqrPNt697b
也許這麼說太過自以為是，但紫藤從這道笑容裡看到的並不是想要相信、而是不得不相信。391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4sCxYi4SpP
391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtZo8Xcm1de
只因為狐狸的許諾是杜若的最後一絲曙光。所以杜若除了抓住它以外也別無他法——僅僅就只是如此而已。391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDqdZVGqUoZ
391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrsU0nXPyFo
哪怕、就算那道光芒是朝自己射出的子彈也一樣。391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRoOfwCptSH
391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhUKkTTDOgl
紫藤也曾望著母親的背影被偽裝成曙光的惡火給吞噬殆盡。但只因為如此，就可以不負責任地說聲「放棄吧」把一切希望給澆熄嗎？391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2z6M463W9K

這怎麼可能。391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKlPudMxAnz
391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfgQuwzMOLl
沒有人知曉光芒的後頭是陽光亦或是惡火，但倘若停止腳步、也只會在黑暗消逝。無論是誰，追逐光芒都是與生俱來的本能。391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeTQRpp034e
391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmei1URcaTU
看著杜若緊握的手，紫藤便不捨地伸出手、略顯生硬地鑽進了那冰涼而纖弱的掌心。391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw6FXv8nPI6
391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBF8cHpNa0d
也許，杜若一直都是握著這樣飄渺晃蕩的希望走來，但起碼現在、紫藤能夠確實地握住杜若。391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMdVBBQbliu
391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTybnFhZgPy
如果杜若前進的方向是惡火，那紫藤就要在最近的地方拉住杜若。391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7g1nx58Wcc
391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCBeRVwjvkd
察覺到掌心的柔軟，杜若看著紫藤靦腆地一笑。391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmIPSQnBWoZ
391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBGoFCMvwS5
轉動手腕、解開五指，那份只屬於兩人相握時的溫熱便從掌心蔓延到了指縫391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVaD7o4ykDu
391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOhSe3vxpkL
「但就算這樣，我也還是想自己去試試看。」經過短暫的沉澱，杜若再次充滿生氣地抬起頭來。391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbj6Ze8PVyW
391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYhrz8I6Xbu
「我想只要有夠多的錢的話，也許就可以把大家一起找來、找出能夠馬上醫好陶壺叔的辦法了！」391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpn2xChqzdi
391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSb4RpoHLbL
剛才籠罩著的陰鬱被一掃而空，杜若看著紫藤，露出了開朗的笑容。391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS5quj6glXa
391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgzb6KuAvHm
「不過，果然還是不能夠靠沙華會的人呢。」391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6Vv3UDBRL9
391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRr4LjqwkMk
經過剛才被反擊的經驗，讓兩人都對這點有了更多的共識。391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDnyawsuVCU
391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZqdAVunkaj
說了句「話說回來」後，杜若就一轉話鋒、向紫藤問道：391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCkOLIzMMfQ
391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsY6us6tWF8
「紫藤想要殺掉的人又是誰呀？紫藤還記得嗎？」391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHM8mUgKvAk
391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWycArXEsOb
這問題讓紫藤才想起自己從沒有跟杜若——不、甚至是從沒有跟任何人說過這件事。391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFoL0EZthdm
391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNDho5TFvFN
「是一個……在脖子後面紋著白色線條的沙華會紋身的人。」391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBBkQWXz6Fx
391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwppWtEbrLy
從腦海深處的角落翻出這片景象。那人在殺害媽媽時，紫藤只有一瞬間記下了那個至今都從未看見第二次的特殊紋身。391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkAzyLrbMnk
391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrC8OAFPZKq
「沙華會的紋章幾乎都是鮮紅色的、有白色條紋的紋身……我就只見過那麼一次。但不管我怎麼找、那個人卻就好像消失了一樣，再也沒有出現過。」391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkEXCtvXxsM
391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAMhnT136mH
而唯一有可能知道的墨駒已經被殺了，但紫藤並不感到後悔。比起狡獪的他們，紫藤更寧願靠自己的手去搜索。391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNR4VOLaJl8
391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdZQfI0GGhN
「這樣的話，我也來幫忙吧！」杜若自告奮勇地舉高手：391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF8iCxhbRhf
391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOXxbWQEMlu
「兩個人一起找絕對比較快的！」391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx1GTypUEQN
391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡllKXKUOyCx
杜若的模樣、讓紫藤晚了一步才發現自己說錯了話。391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUfvccuqVIL
391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8xYHShVGWQ
紫藤默默地低下頭、沉聲回答。391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqXyA8FJoMJ
391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ984sJv4r8L
「……不用那樣。我……我自己就夠了。」391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfkk79q28Ek
391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwSdv1Rikhl
這冷淡的回答讓杜若頓時像被潑了水的貓咪似地一愣。391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo1D2BuOjS4
391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfu9orasl7M
「可是、紫藤不是說到現在都……」391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmx98j3YMgR
391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFCPlIKv4FW
「這本來就是我自己的事。」391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡixiz3Nc7ot
391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0WqyzzvKRv
就算杜若能夠輕鬆地下殺手，但自己的復仇跟杜若是兩回事。391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpsWGB3NT0X
391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyZM8DW6t01
紫藤很清楚自己的眼前只有惡火。而單單只是殺手的任務就已經足夠危險，杜若根本沒有必要為此承擔這些危險。391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlhF7RZbYlq
391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhmt74vSccB
「那要是紫藤遇到危險怎麼辦！」倏地，杜若站起身、提高音量391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ47aUmyAuft
391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJYBNfZbdpu
「我就是為了保護自己，才會去學習要怎麼搏鬥。」391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy8i7kT7To0
391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡICP8npCb3a
紫藤明白杜若的擔憂。但紫藤正是為了不讓自己在完成復仇前先被吞沒，才用盡了心力去磨練自己。391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5A41V2IhJB
391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJmgvja2slc
「可是、假如對方有槍、假如遇到像今天一樣的事……」391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0T8GBGn305
391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4hxdbpjXHY
「我是不會讓自己被殺死的。」391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBvHCNpzFj7
391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9SJ8lXmD0k
「紫藤明明就傷成這樣、還說這種話……！」391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaq1edWZFVt
391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3iUJaZd00U
看見紫藤一副無所謂的模樣，杜若更是焦急到話都說不清楚了。391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡepYlhMid6P
391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQIvnLIKZ41
紫藤沒能給出杜若期待的回應。卻還是於心不忍地輕握住了杜若的手。391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhrKM04AS5u
391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnYZ2QGMsPL
杜若雖然想甩開，但卻在一半就失去了力氣。391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡedbTJC8WAt
391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIBrvWXC8P8
「明明、明明紫藤也硬是摻進了我的事情，現在卻又說這種話、這樣真的太不公平了……」391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGvt6WMzxnv
391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOgnoHCznnY
杜若像個鬧彆扭的孩子一樣發起脾氣，但鬧彆扭的人卻總是最認真的。也因此，紫藤才無從反駁。391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp8HgC096Ay
391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡToqgMep04L
是啊，明明就是自己先不講理地要杜若帶著自己的，這樣又有什麼資格拒絕杜若呢？391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXGE9rc7BL3
391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLh4h2bWJVO
但就算不公平也好，紫藤之所以握著杜若的手，絕非是要杜若陪著自己跳進火海。391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQsdal0rUKI
391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBQ7OeWXzDX
最後，紫藤還是用了奸詐的說法。391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9wOYc8Ucma
391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE243Km2kWo
「我跟陶壺叔約定過，說不會讓妳受傷了。」391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgsV2RQtAls
391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm1dixZaqmj
「那難道紫藤要我看著妳受傷嗎？」391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCk4shEwtkT
391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeMCvxlHB5P
雖然夾雜著鼻音、但這句話卻如此強而有力。391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY0YerGRRiR
391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡanJE9QA1We
在八年前的那個夜晚、紫藤也是那樣地看著母親被一刀刀殘殺致死——明明注視著、卻什麼也做不了的無力是多麼令人痛苦，紫藤比任何人都還要明白。391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1VU1PRVGrn
391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI8EjcgKojI
杜若也正是因為這樣的痛苦，才選擇了這條看似荒謬的道路。391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAqxzSuaz2O
391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZYFC58MU3O
而紫藤打算再在杜若的身上再添一層相同的痛苦嗎？391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcrzzNEL7cM
391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrAIm1SzFT8
紫藤無法回答，只是沉默地別開了視線。391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHsS0unbzTt
391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNp8V4hxReI
看見杜若受傷，自己會感到痛苦。而看見自己受傷，杜若會感到痛苦。然而若是因此什麼也不做，又有誰能夠替枉死的母親報仇雪恨？391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKYRvldMSmr
391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRxradeKsDp
哪條路都是崎嶇，哪條路也都是痛苦。391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTob9voHZc6
391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP5vH6Ierh6
如今，在這條路上有個願意走到身旁攜手並進的人，又為何不欣然接受就好？391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3ajIezC7EE
391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzKtFeGxTja
只因為就連接受也是痛苦吧。391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyXlsWyVNIO
391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw3W1f43rMj
但、當初不就是因為明白自己沒辦法獨自走完腳下的路，所以才會自顧自地跟在杜若後頭不是嗎？391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgPszAhC0cp
391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcwGLFvRyyr
如果說想要把什麼東西給握在手裡、就免不了被刺出鮮血。那麼起碼受傷的方式可以交由彼此來抉擇。391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgiyoB1xD0B
391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkE6OwK9KhM
思及至此，紫藤才慢慢地放鬆了手中的力道。391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrsHYpvc2f3
391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5vi0im4XYc
「答應我、要先保護好妳自己。」391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbR5Rc48CMa
391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhHSNkQyKhJ
紫藤不帶一絲玩笑地注視著杜若的雙眼，而看見紫藤的神情，杜若才終於破涕為笑。391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe06bCvzWUg
391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDrU6ZpMwou
「可是，紫藤會保護我的吧？這樣我的份不就用不到了？」杜若歪著頭反問。然後扣緊了紫藤安放在腿上的手。391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡclkRNi7xDl
391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpl7GJFoWtP
「所以，我的份就用來保護紫藤吧！」391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIEScj4mXRU
391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGKkSRW4Ci5
紫藤雖沒有點頭，卻還是回望著對方微微笑，回握住指縫間的柔軟。391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHKwsk7qAAe
391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2owDBO6BS3
「喔喔！紫藤笑了耶！」391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP2SQ831tPP
391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCdeEnYHefx
頭一次看見紫藤的笑容，讓杜若欣喜地舉高手，卻不小心拉起了紫藤負傷的前臂而使紫藤臉色一緊。391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ77IG12Wg4R
391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz3brJ8Df4u
「哇啊啊——！對不起！」杜若立刻慌張地放下手來。391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfuA1Aw1pYp
391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnbAAASPrtp
疼痛雖然還沒散去，但紫藤還是發自內心地笑了。391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCT24D3KaA1
391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa8MSYXxIjh
「……對了！」這時，杜若突然靈機一動地眼神一亮：「不知道可不可以請狐狸幫紫藤找找看呢？」391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuOetZxufQy
391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHlh2Hz6CWl
「咦？」這提議讓紫藤也感到意外地眨了眨眼。391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyp4RxOSnfx
391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSxUbGAjLHj
「雖然是我自己猜的……不過狐狸應該很擅長找人吧。」391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmBMsDtmPLW
391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsL7relaUf8
應該說如果那個狐狸不擅長，就不可能精確地知道目標的出沒地點與時間吧。391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgbdT8qWc2J
391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJLPdZfV6Ud
紫藤確實沒想到這個方法——不，更應該說是刻意忽略掉了才是。391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSLl2lAcoGa
391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJTfcrVLKgG
紫藤還是沒辦法相信一個就連臉都沒見過、還讓杜若做這麼危險的事情的人。把這樣重要的任務託付給對方真的妥當嗎？光是想的就有種不踏實感。391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡttucOK531t
391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRt16biPfwM
不過，如果那個狐狸願意幫忙，也許真的會是一大助力。比起自己的脾氣，不是更應該去想要怎樣才能早一步替母親報仇雪恨才對嗎？391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRVXicM2if3
391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPc5r9Orr1r
自己尋覓這麼多年來都毫無所獲，而現在就有一個或許能夠跨出一大步的機會，又怎麼能夠放棄？391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5jkeLXG2rj
391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDQPXFTPLgR
「那……可以幫我跟狐狸說說看嗎？」391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7NwN8TiJnl
391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ95PC3skyDe
「當然呀，這是我提議的嘛～」杜若自信地抱起手臂、挺起胸膛。391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpocYOaUsIE
391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡViMflG7hLf
就在這時，紫藤注意到了杜若的手肘與膝蓋上也有著斑斑的擦傷。391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡndnmBQ4GSj
391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8bmBfmPGp5
是被墨駒踢倒的時候撞上的吧。雖然不比紫藤嚴重，但印在杜若柔嫩的肌膚上、還是格外叫人心疼。391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw2hgKiYnfC
391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsaRGkwvdIO
「妳的傷……換我幫妳吧。」391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGB49hRxdtt
391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLcdUj3M5PO
被紫藤一說，杜若才發覺似地看了看自己的傷，露出一派輕鬆的笑容。391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyjtDLUFHxg
391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm76JjwqOr9
「我這點傷才沒事啦～」說完，杜若從醫療箱裡頭翻出了幾條止血貼布遞給紫藤。391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0Gfe7RA3Li
391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0yDtm0lglJ
「貼這個應該就可以了。紫藤就幫我一下吧。」說完，杜若也爬到床上坐到了一旁。391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrZfbZyszV3
391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2k1KSJdLEL
「撕得開來嗎？」杜若看著紫藤有些僵硬的動作，有所顧慮地問。391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbct8erq1xH
391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAdGMsLrgDr
「動作不需要太大，沒問題的。」慢慢地撕開膠帶後，紫藤往杜若受傷的手肘上貼去、神情專注。391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHa2DBPN0PT
391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQnAhOD1Q3j
「……好了。換膝蓋吧。」391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcq4f5E4atH
391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhMRJLBjC5U
輕輕撫平皺起的部分，紫藤這才發現杜若一動也不動地盯著自己。391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEIJ5WKMT50
391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYDxSrMwd1X
「我臉上有什麼嗎？」紫藤不解地偏過頭。391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjCHwS4oQt3
391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhotHMH2yzy
「唔嗯、沒有呀。」盯得出神的杜若這才回過神來地搖搖頭，靦腆地說道：391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcsC0tNQsQf
391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAxCe5qO59u
「只是覺得紫藤認真的模樣……果然好帥喔。」391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuJnBOB5ctE
391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUdeIrrCGQl
突如其來的稱讚，令紫藤頓時耳根一熱。391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfwyOjKBs4n
391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrG1jqdj0Zo
在道場偶爾也會有人這麼稱讚紫藤——儘管紫藤從不這麼覺得——但明明是同樣的誇獎，為什麼從杜若的嘴巴裡說出來感覺就是不一樣呢？391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD97hfw5j9h
391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoWoVGY6YyF
「我、我……」不知道該怎麼回應的紫藤搓著發熱的耳朵，無所適從地左右張望，最後才低下頭、用著連自己都快聽不到的聲音悄聲地說了句：391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0e630sdyWQ
391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡADOc7eY2Le
「謝謝……」391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgvQjvTzTb4
391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfsTgXc6iFm
「嗯？」391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXWLPNGZ3oU
391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeig72XijBz
「沒、沒有……！」紫藤彷彿像要掩飾過去拉高音量，匆忙地接著說道：「比起那些、還有膝蓋的傷……！」391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNYxy6GCQVe
391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIVWeM0NyR2
杜若雖然有些不明白，卻也覺得今天表情豐富的紫藤很有趣，就沒有多問、聽話地打直了雙腳。391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvxXzzs4vYr
391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPBym3Sp0Ue
杜若的膝蓋上仍沾著一些汙血，那道傷口印在上頭就好像是件純白禮服上的爛泥一樣顯眼——但就算沾上了爛泥，氣質本身也不會輕易改變。391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc9zJQvpdyz
391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq8Riq2Emcp
雖然怎樣也稱不上是修長，但杜若的腿卻讓紫藤不禁想到了幼貓那短巧可愛的前腳，讓人忍不住想要伸手捏個一把。391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuEhnV3Y57l
391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAeHcOdUKzV
不對不對、現在可不是做那種事的時候。不要再想些不正經的事了。391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4QlbxVLmop
391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNFILief0lp
「稍微……稍微彎起來一點。」391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwmWMxaECjR
391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5T3ROOeZBM
「這樣？」391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYQOE3Ca9BG
391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOMqfxsNWAe
為了不讓自己再胡思亂想，紫藤支吾地說。一會才終於定下心來把貼布貼上了膝蓋的傷口。391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQvw2yxe5KR
391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9v7SKEchvo
「……嗯！這樣就可以了吧！」杜若點點頭，滿意地打量著自己手上腳上的貼布。391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR5ZsFgfC9U
391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5kwOsgSf0y
於是紫藤收起醫療用品，起身將箱子放回原位。391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEQANbNvd7O
391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPWJHaZvhNE
「對了，剛才紫藤提到的事件……」391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeK5HCMj6xh
391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp17zyTkR13
就在要踏出房門的時候，杜若忽然想到了什麼似地開了口。391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVy3yQLv6yT
391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIR2JExcFqU
「事件、是倒塌事件嗎？」391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6789sk6aTr
391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIZQEriAGLW
「唔、嗯……」杜若好像沒聽清楚似地，只把頭點到了一半，便默默地垂下眼簾。391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjHzcO70suZ
391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwL1fdmE3rp
「怎麼了嗎？」看見杜若的模樣，令紫藤擔心地走了回去。391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhBeTpZItpC
391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEqYQK88cFh
但杜若沒有做出回應，只是像在思考般地沉默了一會後，才撓撓頭髮抬起了頭來。391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi12N6A5Ih4
391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQF6nqvZsRz
「沒有……沒事的喔！」杜若再次露出一如往常的笑容：「再不睡覺的話明天又要遲到了！還是趕快把東西放回去，然後好好洗澡睡覺吧！」391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3KjyNkN97w
391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9p7cioXQvh
紫藤雖然感到疑惑，卻還是沒有多問地走出了房間。391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOED3KKBjpa
391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0GD7cMih3Q
回來後、在淋浴間前，兩人看著彼此身上的一塊塊包紮，忽然察覺到了什麼而尷尬地笑了。391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJt9SPgW9gi
391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHe539rnzG4
「我們……好像弄錯順序了耶。」391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3ceoqz18qA
391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKCkpqD8kg9
「……只能用擦的了吧。」紫藤望向手上一大片的暗紅紗布，洩出了一聲嘆息。391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf5QAyHjjNU
391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtGZT1YuB96
雖然天氣還很炎熱，用擦澡倒也不會著涼，但紫藤現在只有一隻手，想要擦去全身的溼黏感實在是難如登天。391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡerNfnWUw05
391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoElbYshRi0
杜若也察覺到紫藤有苦難言的模樣，於是悄悄地湊到了紫藤的一旁。391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOoyrVYaEDX
391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5AceaMdx6E
「紫藤需要我幫忙嗎？」391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1CGzI04hPA
391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY9UXmQ8od3
起先紫藤還沒聽懂杜若的意思，但看著杜若站到了自己和淋浴間之間，紫藤才瞬間紅了臉頰。391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIPKrApyoz8
391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhMYYfXIdKl
「我、我自己來就可以了……」391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK6UpwFHOEw
391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU9cXf4Gyc4
在外頭、紫藤光是露出手臂以外的皮膚都會感到有些憋扭了，更何況是和人坦誠相待，即使是杜若——不、正因為是杜若，紫藤才更在意這點。391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNJPWKQ7W8H
391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr07sbVM8F4
終於，在簡單擦去一身的灰塵與汗濕後，兩人才可以好好地關上燈休息。391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVSXnNuSDOc
391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8vaoEj4BMV
房間沉入一片黑暗。而在這片熟悉的黑暗當中，卻多了道不同的吐息。391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfVGTgSwm7l
391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUqalAxp9yY
明明昨天還沒有這麼明顯地感覺到杜若的存在，現在紫藤卻能夠清楚地感覺到對方的呼吸拂過臉頰。391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBSz1nXNYxZ
391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTy7JXBlPue
因為說好了，所以剛才也讓杜若用了跟自己一樣的沐浴乳。和草草擦乾污痕的紫藤不同，剛沖過澡的杜若身上香得不可思議。那宛如水果混合了奶油的甜香挾帶著專屬於杜若的微暖體溫，光聞著就令紫藤的胸口發癢。391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH407Fb23BN
391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡChykrj8q8H
明明是一樣的東西，為什麼用在杜若的身上味道就是完全不同呢？391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWcG82Qe4dH

「……紫藤。」391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXXbgEMDdTv
391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7sVesimuWG
「怎麼了？」391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzqGPWGyuN8
391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxvg6IC8UmJ
就在紫藤兀自思考時，杜若用著像是隨時會消失在黑暗中的細小聲音、輕聲地喚了紫藤。而在紫藤回問後，杜若沒有馬上回答，只是輕揪住紫藤的衣領，向前挪動身子。391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrAh5aFTxde
391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOP2H7f8Bit
「紫藤說、會一直在我身邊……我可以相信紫藤吧？」391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHnYhbaBwOI
391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkHBamfXwn7
那是躲在櫃子裡頭時紫藤為了安撫恐慌的杜若，而下意識脫口而出的承諾。也許是四周的黑暗、讓杜若又想起了那時的感覺吧。391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4v6v3EIydO
391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdlBZajMWZq
紫藤伸出手輕蓋在了杜若的後腦，卻沒有辦法就這麼點頭。391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK1kMFwpaxf
391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8hz8OPdQ2k
就連明天，紫藤都不知道自己是不是還能夠像現在躺在這張床上了。那又何況是更遙遠的以後呢？391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwgaE4c65Cj
391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9AzshhYCAo
這世上難以實現的事情多如繁星，即使是伸手能夠觸及的光芒，也不乏混濁的惡火，而自己選擇的前路更是如此。391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrm0WRUHivd
391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAQjqq6U2xG
既然難以實現，那就不該給予承諾。面對再也單純不過的杜若，這樣的輕浮是種殘酷。391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZihqjUoX1O
391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFMVJGxOWwM
可是要是因此就什麼也不能夠承諾、什麼也不能夠相信，不也是另一種殘酷嗎？391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt3CB7d03Y0
391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLzY1KHlPfI
確實，紫藤不能夠保證前路的光明不是槍口的閃焰，也不能夠成為驅趕黑暗的陽光。391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKvLpUxbIRb
391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjSZOPIN6o2
不過紫藤現在就在這裡。391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnskg14iaGX
391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgPf7MgljVD
無論腳下的是光明還是黑暗，只要紫藤還能夠伸出手，就不會讓杜若握起的手中僅有一撮虛幻。391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2l0azizF1x
391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4v6lnCadqR
於是、紫藤探出指頭，用指腹輕貼上了杜若的臉頰。391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQpHc3syoCg
391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWRs34wLsoX
「……我會試著做到的。」391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡld9PJll1Iy
391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgTHFj8mGES
「什麼嘛……」聽見這不乾脆的回答，杜若便沒輒地笑了。391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkhhJfT29DT
391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6mmP6H3G0T
「不過……我相信紫藤喔。」391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7f3V6PUc0c
391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8Bfp0CJIeX
不給紫藤辯解的餘地。說完，杜若就這麼微笑著闔上眼，沉沉地往夢鄉走去。391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCyv2Gidmx2
391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNFTvaz1gkp
窗外打進的微光逐漸照亮紫藤的視野，杜若雪白的髮絲在輪廓的邊緣透著薄光，就宛如隨風飄逸的紗絹一樣。391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdv1kJIoFgF
391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwcqzYXTUa1
從呼吸聲聽來，杜若大概是在睡著時就會蜷起身子的類型——就連這點也跟貓很像啊，紫藤不禁調侃地想。391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrprFEgXAnH
391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC1v1s57QLg
疼痛令紫藤沒辦法把杜若給攬進懷中，但紫藤卻仍湊近了身子，把那道溫熱的呼吸給小心地挨近胸口。391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzaRCRWa8aP
391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP6dCVqhKoa
而杜若只是既像在回應、又像在撒嬌般地發出一聲夢囈，把身子更加地縮了進去。391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsAqXuOpk8l
