迴響的隆隆聲如同夢境般遠去。348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSBuxzKUbyf
348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc21dEff9HL
從開出的小縫裡，一道狹窄的光切開了無邊無際的黑暗。348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz7pnsYx7QG
348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO4uSON0dvL
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。348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2IwjMCUtto
348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa1Lwz5KK2G
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。348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8PEHrBWlxc
348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwSma8r6ZCR
連沙華會都靜謐下來，就代表連凌晨也快要結束了吧。348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQx7zhmrynC
348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡirIaIV4s8H
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。348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmoRozHolu1
348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPipcGfaVuR
「走吧。我們一起回去。」348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsb4DAdGzvA
348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡreBdDRxkHW
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。348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWkaNhP3hXk
348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1IOzkEP2eF
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。348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDsFciIT1rD
348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmYa2uysCI6
為了處理傷口，杜若讓紫藤靠到了床板上頭。348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqA830hiK6m
348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡewVJjpDAic
「嗚……！」348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkw7EEwzd1l
348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZr9b3LzcLM
消毒藥水碰到傷口的劇痛，讓紫藤吃痛地叫出悶聲。348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLocPSWIho4
348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhDlKdv46Bl
「很痛嗎……？」杜若停下動作，擔憂地看向紫藤。348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6AKwwNhwWd
348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9w2d5Ny78D
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。348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBMaPPcjI2X
348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3Ta0L34ebV
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。348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡujWYu7bfrh
348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfhFAaqz9yZ
「……我還可以忍。」說完，紫藤打直手臂。348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfNxcr8mxx3
348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ542ZFihFEg
杜若點點頭，卻宛如做錯了事一般地垂下眼簾。348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHOQTUml4Bp
348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbzLNzhAQeG
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。348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5IpxOqVUcC
348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQSaou8QAvD
「那、再忍耐一下就好。」348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXlNu4vQo65
348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV3RMkS63vH
「呼、呼……嗚——！」348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMWytIB1jwU
348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡriexuG3sWC
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。348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUsB9AkaU5F
348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJxuFoqneZ7
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。348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkmzEMDSGH1
348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnDVv92cJqS
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。348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYbXPKnFHVK
348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5FJ61nyI76
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。348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsvaU7IgKQA
348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdjujLLkVbn
「還要喝嗎？」杜若捧著還有一半的水杯，輕柔地問。348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡixSvOc64Pf
348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYlWn4tQEYN
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。348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXLcjd8H933
348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHLS5sRXnu9
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。348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGGa9JI5GRs
348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl4brHbppfF
「……謝謝。」348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ55F4B1levu
348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEq2drfSwJ7
「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。348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLT5Kyrwr6l
348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkt8Tn1H5Ml
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。348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRpHKcnbey6
348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9s9vtFkxnO
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。348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN2GjfBn2Fl
348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT3gAT8IzmJ
不過，這無疑都是事實。348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTpYbTJy0pi
348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNkY3Ukmw7T
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。348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBDstnz3weD
348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBoWydgkl40
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。348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5lsCRQR4Z9
348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbbaZjxAsze
「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。348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7hLJr5wLo1
348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw1IGp6EiGP
沉默了半晌，紫藤才慢慢地開口。348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWJgHP8cNdI
348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgG3oeWEfQq
「是我媽媽的遺物。」348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPWP0gfUNT0
348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8838lAP1mB
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。348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmD2qagmR5b
348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlue8ol93Px
「咦……？那為什麼會在墨駒的手裡呀？」杜若不假思索地問道。348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMB1UxFFzJf
348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjfz6EpVEfQ
「我也不知道。」紫藤搖搖頭，黯然地闔上雙眼。348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3iQu1LPtHI
348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLAxCgTjs6E
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。348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbpFMeeTZgR
348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgbM1eAsRJ8
「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：348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQiUMWl5fdf
348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUCGYMG4a4k
「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。」348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhc9zDiBpkz
348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc8PRBAOEoB
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。348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwyys0WubvX
348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkifxwr1jZY
「這就是那時候、他們從媽媽的身上搶走的東西之一。」348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpwEJBXZ9Gy
348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4vJhb7MxaR
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。348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRMOwAmWr75
348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmhdjhJRELz
從那時起，濺在臉上的那朵紅花就已經在紫藤的心頭生根。348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWtSxL5Zu1d
348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡABMR4h8gYm
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。348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4mkw9OKrtZ
348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPJzVeYNORm
「原來……這是對紫藤來說這麼重要的東西啊。」348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDaColMEM78
348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1v6xxg3G2t
「嗯。」紫藤在胸前連同戒指握緊了拳頭。348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDv7RSstnkE
348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpu4BnqJMG4
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。348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcud7tJKizj
348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcvHyRUsZWj
自己已經不想要再失去任何東西了。348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRGZgUAEKyp
348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTRcWFXn44O
「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。348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxQM7jJgF8G
348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiVCIGQparT
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。348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS8DW4aP6M7
348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLoBQV7A2W2
「媽媽他——」348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaJw15yG1hA
348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG0JKm4oo1Q
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。348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ45x93kDESO
348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ22ur6IObys
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」。348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiHCIPwn2vg
348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrTGX3i5tSK
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。348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwlI5NXHgx9
348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxzCfihJF6p
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。348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsTy1OSJPTr
348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRS1iTDgIU1
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。348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh48od59iI5
348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYOhNIQ6Mvo
但紫藤一點都不喜歡學校。348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnWRHRIXzAt
348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6QtAq4XiEz
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。348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlkemt6Niy8
348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgd0ltWwqFJ
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。348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRQxNo10M5B
348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWP8LukmvCO
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。348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS35bZ44fn6
348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGu2FexnMlk
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。348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVOW2lmXUaV
348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGRqVm0tttu
嗯，這樣就夠了。那時的紫藤只有這麼單純的滿足。348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1A0v6MeJy7
348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhgEZYy4yqL
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。348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFVkmOXYDHS
348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2mZb14k4A2
那是一起倒塌事件。348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOqJ55rv5Ys
348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWlB5HrqQZT
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。348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcevosQeoaJ
348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIPtRFzeFT5
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。348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs6J7tkn50T
348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOAd0JqXaLb
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。348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbUYakjNiI3
348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeYCSgj42RF
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。348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1bmvoJlPyP
348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡto2DY1yLq5
「……我會找到給墨駒這個戒指的人。」348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3nmShyAH7J
348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdmmnDZScZz
收起回憶，紫藤再次握緊了戒指。348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ187InjRDd5
348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1hp4fz1M6H
「然後，殺了他。」348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBuWw2SL0ZU
348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMXoPGwivTC
紫藤的眼神猶如熾火，沒有一分一毫的搖曳。348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa6eIdH2B50
348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC2nAxnYZdQ
但只不過幾秒，便很快地萎靡了下來。348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg2jxR0TC25
348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwsmUM2GN6h
「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。」348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrdWDZn3bIr
348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr6Yk8PNxO3
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。348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPCiwyPxYef
348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWr1il7Ltn4
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。348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8W4PkuJxU5
348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPZfuH1hk6t
「原來、這就是紫藤想要跟我一起行動的原因呀。」348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3nGiDcgnvx
348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFJekgPyudY
「……嗯。」348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAoo2QvOgIX
348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKTHmxBSIIV
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。348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcr8Cgejr0e
348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6y4OmQTBAF
紫藤深信，這就是自己向那些骯髒禽獸復仇的楔子。348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbyYIyk3Dkz
348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrEHir1smc5
這就是足以斬斷自己心頭那朵紅花的白刃。348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJMQF7JuQ0d
348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzSrJyNnxec
「……杜若妳呢？」348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt4sVCGYwrn
348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ077qKjo7Wl
紫藤拾起快要滿溢的情感，回望了杜若那如新月般的雙眸。348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeFgt0Lo9dB
348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPbBPeAonHB
「又是為什麼……會開始當殺手？」348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ64CtjDv64i
348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEjBxKxBwn5
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。348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVuySRNF0Q4
348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ43PTUFymwT
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。348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9rfpZXAVPo
348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCbcX6JAqNq
「紫藤……不會生氣吧？」348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAITKs4Q8Bh
348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjq1TMCLffv
杜若果然還在意著那時自己的衝動。348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFPIfM58tFT
348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs8FUFojxdF
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。348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuoRMvzBYW6
348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuqZf5oQyFr
「不會。」紫藤堅定地說：「我保證。」348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8K11HAWW0C
348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9OHnxwNRig
等到紫藤緩緩收起手後，杜若才按著胸口，下定決心地開口。348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyqhfQses9p
348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNI60M8rJcS
「……我想要救陶壺叔。」348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfUKZ1ztWVb
348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKtMRNkAiwp
杜若喃喃吐出的回答令紫藤感到十分意外。348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCok9lmVWIf
348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxLpqZHuswF
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？348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh6koPZivfi
348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgjZqcNguOr
就好像發現了紫藤的疑惑，杜若幽幽地繼續說道：348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡodEC7pGebJ
348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1LYI40BwyD
「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。」348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHT7UKlMoKl
348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbNWLaSItNf
全身慢慢就會不能動的病？348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9TRzNrbXmk
348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO0OGzHA262
這種病紫藤是頭一次聽見。348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcO1XqBVFtJ
348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡteURLMNJLY
「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。」348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsZhkDdmmuL
348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSiLPTMHfnb
「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。348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkW8jLTQ5Mx
348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDYxU6zXS5t
「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。」348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtUbWzsILhq
348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaE0WOtasTo
杜若的笑只看得見無力。348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8V8jULXZkv
348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF1Gjk63M5j
「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。」348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKc4POGoPrk
348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6HMWT2zMVe
到這裡，杜若便沒有繼續說下去了。348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1S5fry4Y28
348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrGU1hKBkKZ
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。348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL8NNSG9Euu
348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnkLU4wdEDL
然而，紫藤卻忍不住想要質疑的念頭。348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR1OAzS7REI
348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl095W8ztL1
「那個狐狸、真的就這麼值得相信嗎？」348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl6zDq4lj1S
348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTw45kWtke2
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。348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgZk8oitMEc
348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfGOxa7aAvZ
「……狐狸一直都對我很好呀。」348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5yZ0M5H5zX
348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwLrrW2cM2e
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。348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkkWtTxDwWm
348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNbeArovQTP
「所以，我還是相信狐狸。」348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhcUyjPhKOB
348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmnbz6KrlAO
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。348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsYIBjaigVW
348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUev8ZwoOvF
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。348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWZ7hjSusSd
348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrnbvUjoXPX
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。348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1SC3krBmcf
348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxv9BEAlkVk
哪怕、就算那道光芒是朝自己射出的子彈也一樣。348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPXR03eWwL6
348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRJSIMZRU78
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？348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3W9M0gQiHG

這怎麼可能。348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmf06KxBDvZ
348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTj9AVwKYMB
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。348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA8i0jGwosh
348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIcGOfcxVmI
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。348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡryy5AbIOW4
348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlgSpEC3yKf
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。348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ45ONT7wAog
348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTM33uB6Ri6
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。348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtOxb4Uufx5
348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH4TbbsLU6U
察覺到掌心的柔軟，杜若看著紫藤靦腆地一笑。348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyAWa3DkiHP
348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ4oAywdR4x
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348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYIl2ekRJ5w
348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRW4cMdT3im
「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。348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFe50gwPLMm
348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqo4T0nU2DR
「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！」348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm5E5BVE4Bz
348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSjSDvpQ68B
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。348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb4GuRPSBJP
348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMMgaO4B795
「不過，果然還是不能夠靠沙華會的人呢。」348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ82xWOtMrmQ
348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡli0oKuMakG
經過剛才被反擊的經驗，讓兩人都對這點有了更多的共識。348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq0YaF1TeaQ
348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSXLcCHCiog
說了句「話說回來」後，杜若就一轉話鋒、向紫藤問道：348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGJvPeQbu14
348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOsLjtcdPox
「紫藤想要殺掉的人又是誰呀？紫藤還記得嗎？」348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqIXnObu4bt
348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQKFUvp0sRE
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。348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2x1xYqbvDp
348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡftz20I9ONE
「是一個……在脖子後面紋著白色線條的沙華會紋身的人。」348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr0EfW9asUK
348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEZfk4KsX2t
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。348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeHDh7dKZjV
348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFhIVV165Nc
「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。」348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5gpEGBvc6g
348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy4fi4eQUWZ
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。348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTar6R2pPqg
348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCEQkRYecyt
「這樣的話，我也來幫忙吧！」杜若自告奮勇地舉高手：348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4cbevq7PZQ
348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcaY1cD5QzY
「兩個人一起找絕對比較快的！」348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV6oFyGdhuf
348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlUCvW35QKh
杜若的模樣、讓紫藤晚了一步才發現自己說錯了話。348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGCgHoA7KNW
348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZgn3WOO72T
紫藤默默地低下頭、沉聲回答。348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyOubLmgxKM
348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡObMPysgFFK
「……不用那樣。我……我自己就夠了。」348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1xlbYAHPyx
348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1QiGENbhVl
這冷淡的回答讓杜若頓時像被潑了水的貓咪似地一愣。348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqxekODxm2M
348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe4TbSzoKqp
「可是、紫藤不是說到現在都……」348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeeROgFrUie
348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnc9t3hLsCM
「這本來就是我自己的事。」348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpsVKE3Y5tO
348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHr98Jb5A9c
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。348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHjDVaE07c8
348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQFzzeKakIq
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。348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡudHgFKPDBc
348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYOK7hIeYjF
「那要是紫藤遇到危險怎麼辦！」倏地，杜若站起身、提高音量348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ49QDkf4TKo
348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3gV7VEC5Zz
「我就是為了保護自己，才會去學習要怎麼搏鬥。」348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMgAt4ELiwk
348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVY6MyEbple
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。348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnF8aYBH57k
348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1LV6siXgSe
「可是、假如對方有槍、假如遇到像今天一樣的事……」348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0DN4HbqA5g
348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4stI6W4Eeh
「我是不會讓自己被殺死的。」348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWbpReNRPzQ
348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX7wdjMadOJ
「紫藤明明就傷成這樣、還說這種話……！」348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnevrfeyAZb
348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡogVEXLKOrj
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。348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡneJxvsBgNL
348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgagR8gCtwW
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。348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoUM6lGDrTf
348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxs7GmPoJNy
杜若雖然想甩開，但卻在一半就失去了力氣。348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7NkDLT1N9o
348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsr6FzOMg32
「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……」348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9kJeNpa5jO
348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2P4OBhqV0Q
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。348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTGn1RGj0mQ
348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡecn5VPtr7n
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？348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj5FY5rxSSJ
348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5mAAxd3WeQ
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。348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0NGXHPgFVo
348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrnZ8jPRI18
最後，紫藤還是用了奸詐的說法。348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3e7znvEvao
348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRoB0656qqb
「我跟陶壺叔約定過，說不會讓妳受傷了。」348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS1E5WadwnQ
348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0CZb8L6GVY
「那難道紫藤要我看著妳受傷嗎？」348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQJnL4jX88B
348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUhfGNgeCpj
雖然夾雜著鼻音、但這句話卻如此強而有力。348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsFai9eyL7Z
348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbj1dd6v8BW
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。348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6Wh9HGnCDq
348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzBtNkW4EHy
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。348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJD8fps2gfJ
348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVK6hSHcLwe
而紫藤打算再在杜若的身上再添一層相同的痛苦嗎？348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUO9iw1cZAP
348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY6pg7L93Ul
紫藤無法回答，只是沉默地別開了視線。348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAl57AwQtVy
348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbhQpaa3LNp
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？348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7HXqKoFr08
348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSBT3zxKPLx
哪條路都是崎嶇，哪條路也都是痛苦。348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1iOuq72yUu
348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFSgg3nz65r
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？348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9VFLIllKUS
348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9J0Iyy2txr
只因為就連接受也是痛苦吧。348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHfUfxbgf1W
348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ156Nm3ozJ
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？348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWomCcdOjeV
348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1BiyrI12Ej
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。348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo6RZ2o6zr8
348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSaW775bR7U
思及至此，紫藤才慢慢地放鬆了手中的力道。348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsA6CjUUObf
348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfuOpvtsgok
「答應我、要先保護好妳自己。」348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtKUMnf7ZU0
348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8Yh2LtAnY2
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。348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWQ4Z8ta94r
348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX1I97cAEpR
「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。348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTaoHWXKQLZ
348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3v415mCjm1
「所以，我的份就用來保護紫藤吧！」348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvtoOGLvlT6
348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡthq7PiPwjI
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。348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrzwaoIs2L5
348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHIlDRuPx2C
「喔喔！紫藤笑了耶！」348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOaQjP183Zb
348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZLBnKYnY1l
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。348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQy2cor2YDi
348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiJZp5kipfg
「哇啊啊——！對不起！」杜若立刻慌張地放下手來。348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfejItXksWz
348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPq9Fq8Iyj6
疼痛雖然還沒散去，但紫藤還是發自內心地笑了。348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVOEDqqITfh
348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLJ7kMiwiwE
「……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？」348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0DvVXo6muv
348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg6BL5aD5hS
「咦？」這提議讓紫藤也感到意外地眨了眨眼。348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDqYQJbV02t
348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcaKBTneLsW
「雖然是我自己猜的……不過狐狸應該很擅長找人吧。」348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP6g9kPF0vt
348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIZcQjg1fFU
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。348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbTHjVc250x
348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡihJvVr1FCH
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。348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7xxOqp5vEJ
348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSs6WVWdK0x
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。348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg4wreuOA7s
348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡORh7xz6KDq
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？348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZPxSjbookA
348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtZF1867mfA
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？348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFEAYnqBDzF
348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZjVJWbvdW8
「那……可以幫我跟狐狸說說看嗎？」348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxB5XhUo47L
348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHsulhdDtdQ
「當然呀，這是我提議的嘛～」杜若自信地抱起手臂、挺起胸膛。348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwp9AarkN6s
348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxWBrJi4s4f
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。348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkrpWeimZ9w
348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpzOtw8MZbO
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。348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxOzpLrXq00
348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg8nFkeCEtK
「妳的傷……換我幫妳吧。」348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLLzUDXngnP
348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrVOrDXAYlV
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。348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIKlI0FMlkX
348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXkeZjEGH8x
「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。348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFcKWHbPdal
348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg6ZEySBAKa
「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。348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw767hGrVkL
348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsXfYS9vMYN
「撕得開來嗎？」杜若看著紫藤有些僵硬的動作，有所顧慮地問。348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpaaHXZFj1g
348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkmBVkd1xYi
「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。348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4b1Y2NJduz
348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBOCYD6D49n
「……好了。換膝蓋吧。」348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSfV4HgEEE1
348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkDHMfABtgD
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。348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDbUFMDb3o9
348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDJzH5BmYq3
「我臉上有什麼嗎？」紫藤不解地偏過頭。348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAbPxHAHspX
348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkOToIFrOLX
「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：348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyCNRH5LoYM
348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡubadCAX1cc
「只是覺得紫藤認真的模樣……果然好帥喔。」348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhov7BLHsgD
348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9jkVAWKQk7
突如其來的稱讚，令紫藤頓時耳根一熱。348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNw3sPIdSbE
348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTaU03cBQkb
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？348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNW4Tuv05HJ
348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ771QqMDwPP
「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：348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPpnrkfCYVz
348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxDnD80jdZg
「謝謝……」348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhlHjtwyf6o
348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5FT2xHIwMb
「嗯？」348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7PHg2Mu7zU
348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG3zyBdBkTE
「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……！」348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMMKd9Po9ls
348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6bjSaXnYxt
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。348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPtnmQHlLwt
348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHTnpk2WS6h
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。348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQu3B3lgmS8
348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ8AiuETlDE
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。348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeiK3RhI78l
348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3yARj5n9FY
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。348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpyyu5TQwwT
348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXplumhy9dH
「稍微……稍微彎起來一點。」348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCeOOvYVYz5
348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ2PhfPZxee
「這樣？」348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ66h6i2KHVQ
348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8cYPbTqw81
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。348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJcC0hbtmg7
348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4512kbhgrZ
「……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。348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1xNH2EEhH1
348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUUT7NoKCX9
於是紫藤收起醫療用品，起身將箱子放回原位。348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHW7MOwwvps
348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrJPsvg63ud
「對了，剛才紫藤提到的事件……」348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwt1WDGHUTA
348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7rTlR29ABa
就在要踏出房門的時候，杜若忽然想到了什麼似地開了口。348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8CCWVUgde2
348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYAU5JUMRzs
「事件、是倒塌事件嗎？」348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQwAamAXyAj
348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZe06CeWkXJ
「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。348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgOc90VKift
348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAVOYM1858U
「怎麼了嗎？」看見杜若的模樣，令紫藤擔心地走了回去。348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzkcZqiG3gD
348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL42PVMcyRE
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。348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnolGtTsTex
348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1gQm0YlaHB
「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！」348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4ajezxUwFc
348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2E4v84JNZx
紫藤雖然感到疑惑，卻還是沒有多問地走出了房間。348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUq2RmoQGXI
348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTzWHQtBtgl
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。348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHHsKNosEym
348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3CuTBhL2pK
「我們……好像弄錯順序了耶。」348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3MkeRu1kDQ
348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN1dVcNUWkx
「……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。348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVgqnACw3Yu
348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZNjIaV0tHo
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。348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd5E4q3HIww
348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrjV21Wk1V1
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。348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwOicW7bhdS
348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRmUf2nao2b
「紫藤需要我幫忙嗎？」348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO2BW44Zuwb
348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1JckTCVHig
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。348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnJfTa8Pwnw
348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlzLPqErFRs
「我、我自己來就可以了……」348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfEByBxVuzW
348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYZQ147VafT
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。348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2G024kL9pr
348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡspjRvK07AR
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。348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTioZH0xgMS
348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbAShMsyvMV
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。348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpnqVrLBpwj
348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbcv5p4atg3
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。348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbDYGwfbP0r

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。348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEnHpvt4Nhf
348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXOpWWSdM7O
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？348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡweq74HDZhY
348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfowCnMBGr1
「……紫藤。」348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEDvnuIrEZJ
348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm92aFrXuer
「怎麼了？」348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPcjntsdA1p
348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu5NndrxeW3
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。348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ40qzOwSFYd
348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2bc4BSw0Gf
「紫藤說、會一直在我身邊……我可以相信紫藤吧？」348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBnujXfS8t1
348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxNyIWOL1ra
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。348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyQXGf9fIuf
348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYcrtSVxhuL
紫藤伸出手輕蓋在了杜若的後腦，卻沒有辦法就這麼點頭。348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsIUOGHWAae
348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxX6qSjf9Rf
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？348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ5sQVVLbUp
348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMKFzILY1V1
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。348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPlzhecbF03
348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiuyXtog5AH
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。348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6qGIAJdBhW
348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7PqHpjgGe6
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？348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAEU3gAf0Go
348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaHnBaq48LJ
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。348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzZuNVTOqtq
348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9I04Hd9ra1
不過紫藤現在就在這裡。348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3k3doUqKrD
348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1kYen8C9qU
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。348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEQl1euW80x
348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡywSfYo9u7Z
於是、紫藤探出指頭，用指腹輕貼上了杜若的臉頰。348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhT5AvPSVDk
348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVauICR1CBB
「……我會試著做到的。」348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsVmBdbrF1k
348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9f688exFSn
「什麼嘛……」聽見這不乾脆的回答，杜若便沒輒地笑了。348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUOw8d6MLKu
348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjbEnw7xhzq
「不過……我相信紫藤喔。」348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCb8yyX7U9Q
348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU0kQnHPmOV
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。348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgW2zo9r2az
348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKL2AEBJi7G
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。348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE0YiX1UvUU
348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuAYKhHKDHB
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。348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7XyrHaJ6h4
348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvzUf9czCaR
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。348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEGM1ZhBfBA
348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJHHcVLna5L
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。348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzQg5vbvwp9
