迴響的隆隆聲如同夢境般遠去。415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjoEaUSS2To
415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEEwJv3Gikd
從開出的小縫裡，一道狹窄的光切開了無邊無際的黑暗。415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ62nteppME9
415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0zEndIAy4K
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。415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsrPB4pUUnB
415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFlgeMlnLcE
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。415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiftznopKtf
415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaIhyA9183L
連沙華會都靜謐下來，就代表連凌晨也快要結束了吧。415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn9UVfMBLCl
415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ5Kt88w95t
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。415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyO6I3F6uJv
415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr7zXDMhJr0
「走吧。我們一起回去。」415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtQrNCh6NZB
415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTBB4s7n5kD
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。415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHgzkNVdgwb
415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ99AtxjXpW8
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。415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUY3V9Syjjk
415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBrIKebuniB
為了處理傷口，杜若讓紫藤靠到了床板上頭。415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXCka0Gayzr
415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5P4GU5VFnT
「嗚……！」415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWfjUy2mX7N
415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡascSVkTF5v
消毒藥水碰到傷口的劇痛，讓紫藤吃痛地叫出悶聲。415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3u9CVuOo0O
415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc4tWzWMath
「很痛嗎……？」杜若停下動作，擔憂地看向紫藤。415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡckVynZJs6j
415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIC1a6tNcY5
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。415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZuIg1C8Qux
415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmXb6TJsmQo
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。415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtTkTIGzMC0
415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoWjkke44Id
「……我還可以忍。」說完，紫藤打直手臂。415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxZlZILnUGL
415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8zBm5mIi1j
杜若點點頭，卻宛如做錯了事一般地垂下眼簾。415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtGPNCXE0Du
415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCbjjuo2ZOG
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。415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡteZHdVUspW
415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRBstUQoF6Q
「那、再忍耐一下就好。」415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgasy2tFmnF
415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQQJaZH7kW8
「呼、呼……嗚——！」415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkl4kWFX1HU
415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSvwE84WZxr
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。415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0CMMNx5IWE
415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1TECXff6WW
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。415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNegFILQxLM
415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeoEf02ADdv
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。415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcDSLMWILPN
415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ94nSH3Wd5H
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。415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlNsfCorTcW
415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgCoS0Db4aW
「還要喝嗎？」杜若捧著還有一半的水杯，輕柔地問。415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQHqfV3qLza
415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZPhgdGr2pq
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。415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyBPGhNyp4c
415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ86JCPNhk3W
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。415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDgSymlgm3K
415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡooqBx7OHZq
「……謝謝。」415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYe8YveBl9P
415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGA2Qpgn6ZA
「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。415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9OmInS4fvz
415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsJQPa8DVyX
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。415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcuSGW25Lrs
415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT4PP1rIAVG
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。415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOGdGxuYYvj
415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2fg4XzvEIK
不過，這無疑都是事實。415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTbJUyfh4Dt
415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO6xUcjLD4v
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。415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzbDH7RmOXA
415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSzVdrS2o0w
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。415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkuSRziY2Sm
415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBK0rqn67hb
「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。415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhNoS1yjP1r
415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw10CIukkHY
沉默了半晌，紫藤才慢慢地開口。415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCbylZhHeDb
415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFrjj0IqQr4
「是我媽媽的遺物。」415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0n4WGfSD0W
415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡszPiTrl4N4
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。415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwzYeS1Qc0O
415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcAi7lGr4fJ
「咦……？那為什麼會在墨駒的手裡呀？」杜若不假思索地問道。415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKQxMZowHgM
415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcQxb10I6Ed
「我也不知道。」紫藤搖搖頭，黯然地闔上雙眼。415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDzLTgPEVnU
415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLMAX7KThnE
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。415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgl0bZpUZwp
415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAg1M87ycEN
「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：415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTXrpC9QYgq
415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEz2u6n9424
「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。」415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9YRf3sRxwl
415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmC7C5PPbpn
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。415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZVgYEm9Zh2
415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt3FA6KOfQS
「這就是那時候、他們從媽媽的身上搶走的東西之一。」415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9hIKAUfR51
415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡARRo3F9fRn
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。415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmJhSxK5lYg
415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡurmaqkgiEn
從那時起，濺在臉上的那朵紅花就已經在紫藤的心頭生根。415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoyciIIGNoA
415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY1zEb9FSL6
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。415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwRvkldL8EM
415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh9vnA8MBXg
「原來……這是對紫藤來說這麼重要的東西啊。」415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡekM0Opzps7
415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaw8m49o87o
「嗯。」紫藤在胸前連同戒指握緊了拳頭。415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeiQ2CEQftl
415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7rMxuwIjXO
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。415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcqV46tTlnM
415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQGPk3EvAmj
自己已經不想要再失去任何東西了。415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡisgDwRC0kH
415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2rI3BwtqGi
「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。415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq9Fnk7YzbQ
415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKQczdJ5XxY
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。415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhwNIioAKJu
415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYatb3mbrvT
「媽媽他——」415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZuhOkQ0jXM
415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIe37VAEGPO
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。415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm902tizT6k
415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLc5NFs1YIq
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」。415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1vLZWK1lbh
415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWUAyd6sqTf
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。415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡepYRRh9KGk
415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ4YLhSEJxK
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。415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi3cLegqKAV
415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVg3Thh3ToQ
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。415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2ihDa4RUq4
415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX4kZVRZW6s
但紫藤一點都不喜歡學校。415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO8tVu1oKA5
415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpSDjSQk59b
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。415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvNRO8nn0gB
415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5HJNZnwLdy
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。415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2UXvupY7xc
415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlohjLkGEDM
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。415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8SU5qbUtFQ
415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhQL6vhp2us
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。415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb2ZdBYQuc1
415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnBm8pjp3hk
嗯，這樣就夠了。那時的紫藤只有這麼單純的滿足。415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9efEHKzMwq
415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZHusUhORTv
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。415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT0uKF0juwi
415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRyPznfx9wr
那是一起倒塌事件。415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfxEyxAymYm
415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6b6fvB2vRG
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。415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz7X43udLpf
415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlcgkdsmXpl
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。415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNGK7NAN2Vu
415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk5A8jYX0iM
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。415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhFxquz4hfI
415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBi37LSYLs9
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。415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8EInJheRln
415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhHC1ovYtze
「……我會找到給墨駒這個戒指的人。」415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVZCL1iGpf5
415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhTYAFyVyma
收起回憶，紫藤再次握緊了戒指。415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYBW7q2zGn0
415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqYL28hWEOI
「然後，殺了他。」415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf13agQszIH
415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWPysKljtay
紫藤的眼神猶如熾火，沒有一分一毫的搖曳。415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGyy6LhTMPy
415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVHXhk9lbGS
但只不過幾秒，便很快地萎靡了下來。415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvxr2Nn1NwM
415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ1ws02LcAO
「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。」415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfjE80gHrIc
415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfYbsHrrxmn
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。415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJMMgRAmfys
415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmAR808Nts6
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。415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfG6nB5Llao
415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ51ldwMO5H6
「原來、這就是紫藤想要跟我一起行動的原因呀。」415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEHGZvCsT2m
415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuxZY3GBCBI
「……嗯。」415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ95y3UyJENg
415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH48CHuVAHb
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。415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡouG2wu1HAk
415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtiueUeEeFu
紫藤深信，這就是自己向那些骯髒禽獸復仇的楔子。415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU9BHgnVOpX
415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBHIeL5Bdv7
這就是足以斬斷自己心頭那朵紅花的白刃。415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsNfbaHlyeE
415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe6K9gTnAnN
「……杜若妳呢？」415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoKkzKNLgdy
415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxUbB9g0A42
紫藤拾起快要滿溢的情感，回望了杜若那如新月般的雙眸。415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTmvrDVoqj6
415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCSEz0BuE4P
「又是為什麼……會開始當殺手？」415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6Rt9ofoz1r
415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkzXyQPAMNE
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。415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxJsxGa5IIk
415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPFcyEcaMUo
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。415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ73erC4xtSY
415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiZyHPDiQ6K
「紫藤……不會生氣吧？」415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNkr4DkDIaU
415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡweOpZTN9GX
杜若果然還在意著那時自己的衝動。415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW9Z9scfVzc
415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ03xNttD8X
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。415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx43Xrep7FY
415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgzmJwjyxXN
「不會。」紫藤堅定地說：「我保證。」415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNzMgOLULrT
415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTn3HPq3bgA
等到紫藤緩緩收起手後，杜若才按著胸口，下定決心地開口。415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy1cKRfrll4
415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ00vnxIlkJi
「……我想要救陶壺叔。」415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLqpzbcZC2G
415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNhZ11o41Qt
杜若喃喃吐出的回答令紫藤感到十分意外。415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyIQkVjgZ6Z
415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcIsPneKN7h
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？415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡieMTsLnYbC
415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMv8KefdofB
就好像發現了紫藤的疑惑，杜若幽幽地繼續說道：415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz7jlT5r0VM
415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBDdn6JdDoG
「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。」415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOmZ8evkruM
415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0IFP33yINa
全身慢慢就會不能動的病？415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHQNFpNtUWi
415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbd5eRtHkmx
這種病紫藤是頭一次聽見。415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhggmwDXuV1
415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsUJwKkdZ3e
「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。」415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyFcSwkszoG
415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLUtGwLlzQz
「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。415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzaKPePTTY3
415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiev6aIwV4K
「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。」415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMBYYYeniQT
415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡosa1N7K5e4
杜若的笑只看得見無力。415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6rD6csjGtH
415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE7Wb2CPdBC
「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。」415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZx7Yz7eDNk
415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHne4m6yMuY
到這裡，杜若便沒有繼續說下去了。415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKJr2bn7aBJ
415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzhnPQ4z34H
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。415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEmkmg8yMMV
415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAQQkLgoUTS
然而，紫藤卻忍不住想要質疑的念頭。415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXs2tR7D6H2
415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQvUvKIkO1G
「那個狐狸、真的就這麼值得相信嗎？」415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfYljmrZ4V9
415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv9pKGa1NK9
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。415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYGcoH5GNoS
415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ179OYJPzHd
「……狐狸一直都對我很好呀。」415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOBp0HCkrei
415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0cMhFUScpX
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。415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDO4DIQIzBW
415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYi4bEkFTDA
「所以，我還是相信狐狸。」415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLP27aFyBjK
415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJLCAcJJb4V
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。415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡokQu8WhovS
415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeimwAp18W6
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。415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbYa9lrTnkB
415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6ehxogvHo5
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。415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW4mZ4LfSQn
415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdCxbLKstcm
哪怕、就算那道光芒是朝自己射出的子彈也一樣。415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBPCCUW2xKp
415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvxEVTLO2MQ
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？415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcEUyufaQNN
415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ31IJSPvJD6
這怎麼可能。415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxjjSYtVo4Z
415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhGK3oa7xgT
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。415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZjUI1gfYCQ
415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8xfVEy8dJa
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。415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwAgQPUnMia
415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzYF9FVKYHE
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。415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3qgIKudumO
415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNsJG9NLuS9
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。415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVJPKEGNcxG
415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjJK93eSpQF
察覺到掌心的柔軟，杜若看著紫藤靦腆地一笑。415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT318eaig7g
415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZtbMXIxo9u
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415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ60PW43pl5S
415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTDA5fhsA5U
「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。415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn0ibwzbfE8
415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIlz0uIahmZ
「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！」415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaWAaXbKLXo
415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHSI2onB9Tg
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。415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0B1YSeB11Z
415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcsyRr9mW65
「不過，果然還是不能夠靠沙華會的人呢。」415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPGpiNGV9bz
415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlXhWJxWDE8
經過剛才被反擊的經驗，讓兩人都對這點有了更多的共識。415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMmRqI7alik
415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtL7ECOOira
說了句「話說回來」後，杜若就一轉話鋒、向紫藤問道：415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm2TO5vgp19
415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt9HNtfZoxN
「紫藤想要殺掉的人又是誰呀？紫藤還記得嗎？」415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0RSOAFvpJK
415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzGbYMYTkuJ
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。415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSOBmMtkx8F
415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7Ng44bf0Hs
「是一個……在脖子後面紋著白色線條的沙華會紋身的人。」415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5kdgVVSL2v
415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRPmiyJrMZw
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。415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSG4RkRc5C8
415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡODF7hi3XD1
「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。」415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFUCkjX9U7c
415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡENBNnjelJR
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。415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN51ZQrqcRN
415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡElCIZFECH3
「這樣的話，我也來幫忙吧！」杜若自告奮勇地舉高手：415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZQ1H38c2f5
415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr3DLUrvFEs
「兩個人一起找絕對比較快的！」415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡypugMsOtby
415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ752o0Y93yP
杜若的模樣、讓紫藤晚了一步才發現自己說錯了話。415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq3lPjrAckE
415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhzbmsPu129
紫藤默默地低下頭、沉聲回答。415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2TRMLUYPiK
415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1CJhUqrNHK
「……不用那樣。我……我自己就夠了。」415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgVfo0BkFx2
415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzkRdfoPZ2w
這冷淡的回答讓杜若頓時像被潑了水的貓咪似地一愣。415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9hVkOsoqsk
415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvXl4rPqoQD
「可是、紫藤不是說到現在都……」415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7j6ZkVXnAS
415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOsoP7EDc8s
「這本來就是我自己的事。」415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ37KkFFY3YV
415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsn2se9mn3u
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。415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqvXh2iljEB
415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpsPOo78asr
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。415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBRfD8Ls6Rv
415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8cqaf23eNa
「那要是紫藤遇到危險怎麼辦！」倏地，杜若站起身、提高音量415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvYvVqX4gmi
415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJE9z3hoAwX
「我就是為了保護自己，才會去學習要怎麼搏鬥。」415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZBkyV8V6I1
415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmo2BDSlBg3
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。415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbK8BRrYAIJ
415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡseSLDK1DrC
「可是、假如對方有槍、假如遇到像今天一樣的事……」415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPYSMGwrd7A
415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbv39t0rqsM
「我是不會讓自己被殺死的。」415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3n4nqx2Oh0
415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ11NF6bjVKh
「紫藤明明就傷成這樣、還說這種話……！」415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjtfeGrsipk
415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIFgrCoMI1q
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。415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeTBHnKlNXC
415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT1c3TNDcrB
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。415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYShXePcWQZ
415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYxurc9oPXu
杜若雖然想甩開，但卻在一半就失去了力氣。415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZCwsHxz2tN
415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqHI1n00oVO
「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……」415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn2QgmIu1hM
415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnWAFKjHAlK
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。415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIECrZYhxVi
415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYcetFOefYr
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？415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeBesMvlxjQ
415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrNh5X6G8Jg
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。415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYiOqM06dHW
415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYQfWX6j6yf
最後，紫藤還是用了奸詐的說法。415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoSIs4FZnpV
415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡebe3d4EGh7
「我跟陶壺叔約定過，說不會讓妳受傷了。」415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡImM4i6XQX2
415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ41UJOgsHnV
「那難道紫藤要我看著妳受傷嗎？」415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuszUM5iFDv
415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbsXcwuwhzR
雖然夾雜著鼻音、但這句話卻如此強而有力。415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUlTYReG9ue
415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvGtdemSBDu
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。415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2lsNmo9MZJ
415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZwC13trv8D
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。415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3vXOcg3VTT
415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVmKok7I9MQ
而紫藤打算再在杜若的身上再添一層相同的痛苦嗎？415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡutXYNojON0
415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡESSgi1UsJo
紫藤無法回答，只是沉默地別開了視線。415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8ntquQWqlm
415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNkEE8LzpQU
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？415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8uNCkhG8dN
415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEqo6HEdWmk
哪條路都是崎嶇，哪條路也都是痛苦。415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ53IDrXVErY
415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGbQLwcSbuM
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？415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ51diqPo3a1
415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCKH3RxerT8
只因為就連接受也是痛苦吧。415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgSTc650Bp9
415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0hG5vJ3YuG
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？415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb6jhCJz31P
415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1jhrY5fffL
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。415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzyfdchS5Sg
415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfH82u6IaDZ
思及至此，紫藤才慢慢地放鬆了手中的力道。415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgkvwo9Zb5n
415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwc5dvRD4k0
「答應我、要先保護好妳自己。」415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV2I9vTSETT
415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNWzbB7fE0j
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。415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHTWpTFP1Sm
415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRbMRjDNis2
「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。415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGZWBTiJVSX
415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrsvucsI0yp
「所以，我的份就用來保護紫藤吧！」415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEnSORIzbl7
415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyMdALqbfm8
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。415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUr8cWCXvrm
415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9WSFVgaW2F
「喔喔！紫藤笑了耶！」415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPMmUJf7oPs
415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhl39xlsf17
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。415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGNiyWqLnti
415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNU1vAWikkZ
「哇啊啊——！對不起！」杜若立刻慌張地放下手來。415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQh9h6BLIHy
415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡffox6U7a1Y
疼痛雖然還沒散去，但紫藤還是發自內心地笑了。415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFDIJYKKrCR
415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPwUViwuFdG
「……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？」415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm2BlYy6SeH
415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvkqlNfyYF9
「咦？」這提議讓紫藤也感到意外地眨了眨眼。415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoU8Pq5Uzvv
415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXGCEmPin5C
「雖然是我自己猜的……不過狐狸應該很擅長找人吧。」415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj0G7nvlgkB
415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB5ELmoXm2m
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。415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCYfGj18qOZ
415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡokXeGRmDQx
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。415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkFyUA3z7Bh
415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcIhFIaAV9v
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。415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0Kif6oLqUj
415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXIiORjUk17
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？415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHdfjYSS1Tn
415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiVQkfQ7HlH
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？415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfbmDM3Y9TV
415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfr9bbwQJ8q
「那……可以幫我跟狐狸說說看嗎？」415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQvBBWTfrPq
415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV6PLTj8q2u
「當然呀，這是我提議的嘛～」杜若自信地抱起手臂、挺起胸膛。415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyD4mrowLut
415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ01g97GDHan
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。415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ06hGY799SW
415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSoUiZLtgno
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。415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzorNKOAxoX
415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0rVtQt3D7X
「妳的傷……換我幫妳吧。」415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD50U8EY64C
415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEYPn2M0b2r
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。415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1Mpx7pk4lf
415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgvtw3RgOZK
「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。415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3kVABBRsIB
415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaCDlN8UvjE
「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。415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5PUGZmvlp7
415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd4aUV3ugBl
「撕得開來嗎？」杜若看著紫藤有些僵硬的動作，有所顧慮地問。415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfkDiPzqhGz
415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ19jncB81SY
「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。415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt8TMsv1wDL
415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkp8KwlwIWf
「……好了。換膝蓋吧。」415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOoFI5IDzjv
415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD4Fn8K2fP9
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。415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJBxhT8P6um
415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKheI2oWWP6
「我臉上有什麼嗎？」紫藤不解地偏過頭。415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiaOfkjpbvk
415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqV7pCGh79N
「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：415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ3y6rlpAfG
415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxq6r7qa8VL
「只是覺得紫藤認真的模樣……果然好帥喔。」415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7SAwWbvR4i
415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuMmmdBjqZU
突如其來的稱讚，令紫藤頓時耳根一熱。415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv3UMdFI5tJ
415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡluoeMhWP6k
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？415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJBP5tcg2fV
415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOzfGTM7UWE
「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：415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6FAZCUu8he
415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMalKuVQ3VL
「謝謝……」415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6PYE04ZP9Y
415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmEC6iJRPNT
「嗯？」415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡigfFSn1og5
415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgasOtzwEFw
「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……！」415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuK5cJ0rfTr
415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7SXrE4wJF9
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。415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5j5a861mFM
415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ59LZ7OIFJw
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。415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRFY8ADwcev
415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsnNDrybLfi
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。415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiITySQCxAv
415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjoTz4b5bb7
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。415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWvecsWhseA
415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnMwJPzfNdJ
「稍微……稍微彎起來一點。」415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡinjDuA3CN4
415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2mShC60yBn
「這樣？」415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5w4eTBjM1P
415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ031TaYZMLK
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。415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGhe7f03eOK
415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDAfXhNGPL8
「……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。415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIe3sfvtHMN
415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3IxRlGWLW6
於是紫藤收起醫療用品，起身將箱子放回原位。415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2HwIHX1LaB
415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtzL1whxFFo
「對了，剛才紫藤提到的事件……」415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ3Vq1eZ9pw
415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡudS2UTVuIg
就在要踏出房門的時候，杜若忽然想到了什麼似地開了口。415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWu7ImU5b8r
415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDFPs3aXKbn
「事件、是倒塌事件嗎？」415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXHtDPZNtLh
415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE2VeOi7NBl
「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。415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUR8C5mg234
415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7lUTiYSf2N
「怎麼了嗎？」看見杜若的模樣，令紫藤擔心地走了回去。415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi2YFubsUd4
415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcJRDASbvcl
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。415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmwQuovIbMI
415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOJXyui2zn8
「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！」415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0zEEC7LBMT
415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDy4E2N21xB
紫藤雖然感到疑惑，卻還是沒有多問地走出了房間。415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRAM5Wum8ND
415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7gW0kaFCer
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。415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaOHTP7cBQ5
415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4rJeW4Ywcc
「我們……好像弄錯順序了耶。」415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcDs92PDfPm
415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjKzDeXIGWc
「……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。415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9LykEedy6K
415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsnxFOS0Zwu
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。415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTi5QNCTPtT
415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtRqWysucVb
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。415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL3OvqUYvLx
415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7hcciYcy0S
「紫藤需要我幫忙嗎？」415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkc7z6vHfEc
415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk4YRAP1UKJ
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。415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrLTaUpJHNT
415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA2vBnnUwrk
「我、我自己來就可以了……」415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbEnLBUr5pS
415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyw1z1dbHlx
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。415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4D4CHyAzN3
415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTYiwqHdptJ
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。415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOiH3eYRAYl
415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOYtNSsjK0g
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。415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOph95bPgQo
415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWV791S8C0k
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。415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7kVZ3L72Rl

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。415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcCZr1g3s5d
415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF4rPYOlSjz
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？415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ609tFGfoYe

「……紫藤。」415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmwhesCYTdQ
415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsj1n763Yry
「怎麼了？」415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoyowawyigO
415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDI8CtsCyKz
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。415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0KTUFB7Dau
415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8afsDmzqfM
「紫藤說、會一直在我身邊……我可以相信紫藤吧？」415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQVcOB4f7IE
415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6UkAxHWGNi
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。415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrprlcVfMVQ
415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGbQEpkQ6aS
紫藤伸出手輕蓋在了杜若的後腦，卻沒有辦法就這麼點頭。415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg9ep5bwvNN
415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoViv9NHBCS
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？415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeZVjxPOaog
415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyCPAoFfijh
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。415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9z6h8wnYjr
415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡScrXeYxnt9
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。415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeubd86f8NJ
415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8mB791uhTt
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？415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAazW1rqWjD
415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnohjB0vhql
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。415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt2cFhlChXu
415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5lVYjecpOi
不過紫藤現在就在這裡。415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb1obNXGJTM
415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE4aNWRRKtQ
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。415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgXOCtZLrpE
415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPc0Mab5Exe
於是、紫藤探出指頭，用指腹輕貼上了杜若的臉頰。415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzktKKxf5Vi
415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAk7Aubvrmw
「……我會試著做到的。」415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZTrkQHe0r9
415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡycsc1HHSkn
「什麼嘛……」聽見這不乾脆的回答，杜若便沒輒地笑了。415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCDFBs3BBWm
415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCXLY17nzCK
「不過……我相信紫藤喔。」415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzQkojh2YK3
415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE48NCS2Ohb
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。415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLYrgy2eTYR
415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtbMXg2v68c
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。415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCd3z3mNxR7
415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8LyCJC3VRl
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。415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk2hGRGAbcP
415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYMvkhMQCJD
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。415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6NZcOeEEQI
415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1Jyigvs5vE
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。415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm9jmw7BuuK
