迴響的隆隆聲如同夢境般遠去。374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8SI0zMyTcF
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD6TIWI1q4w
從開出的小縫裡，一道狹窄的光切開了無邊無際的黑暗。374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6c8mypCTaW
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmI6afdgE2a
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。374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjmGvNdL3vD
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH9RnZvzuht
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。374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyyUtz589F8
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd6RuEYO0tq
連沙華會都靜謐下來，就代表連凌晨也快要結束了吧。374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4ziG7IqQDO
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0HWwnTcZfP
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。374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrJ2uvGPyXJ
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwm8Rl64VKe
「走吧。我們一起回去。」374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1QMhcTa9A2
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz0tpe9GRtV
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。374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu7q50crc8X
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGRSm6jzdpO
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。374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk5OGZDVdKx
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuJnDwmYB6E
為了處理傷口，杜若讓紫藤靠到了床板上頭。374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQnnej2RL8T
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡidDVupiurW
「嗚……！」374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1HticgRcb9
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWAQ9MWdb6q
消毒藥水碰到傷口的劇痛，讓紫藤吃痛地叫出悶聲。374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFCJ2btI2cL
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡetSDUW9Slj
「很痛嗎……？」杜若停下動作，擔憂地看向紫藤。374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg3wIdCXJ79
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo9w9itZoZH
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。374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQRbipgeAGD
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlZIr9Mmm50
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。374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLL9l7Yy457
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCZw6LmqMSI
「……我還可以忍。」說完，紫藤打直手臂。374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBQAFb4WkwZ
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYoRzwI27J3
杜若點點頭，卻宛如做錯了事一般地垂下眼簾。374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsbhII5TQHN
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgltEOCklDZ
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。374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYLYHYyu1x0
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHHvpBihMXP
「那、再忍耐一下就好。」374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWywYk1OQO3
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiRzjaLc1SX
「呼、呼……嗚——！」374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPPyLZ39014
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFTIbXnUzar
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。374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlAP9SzpTiW
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCgFb4njCIC
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。374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEVQvKUAMG1
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH74EyEDyTx
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。374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkw6BNT4NYX
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOuOKyYAvLd
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。374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRXUs2yqlVs
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXN2njV8WL2
「還要喝嗎？」杜若捧著還有一半的水杯，輕柔地問。374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi2PAzJErD9
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAv66WqYIvj
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。374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYrp3qd1W6k
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNW2s595M9N
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。374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrj2T79vVu4
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuA3kgku2rI
「……謝謝。」374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFNblXTGnWx
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPtX81RmvZ4
「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。374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡukUZ4tQzxj
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDU0y9cUGk4
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。374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBWJG8sfy8z
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡImCWZtj8HM
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。374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXsyGXn5MDl
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXq09BKrQU1
不過，這無疑都是事實。374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ18LCMdbhjn
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtDn7YJQ7Gl
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。374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzZK8HIiBF5
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYHi98jFQBn
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。374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBkmHOW46gl
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIZ94Qu01xu
「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。374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSEZfFXOmw6
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfsUjPjdef7
沉默了半晌，紫藤才慢慢地開口。374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfMfYq57zhE
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNcMcoa4NIu
「是我媽媽的遺物。」374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh98atq8SM4
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZk6HVYeL40
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。374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGgJZIjWBWK
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNGraMHwNVd
「咦……？那為什麼會在墨駒的手裡呀？」杜若不假思索地問道。374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEdxLZTtl9G
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7WtGeP5JTn
「我也不知道。」紫藤搖搖頭，黯然地闔上雙眼。374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUdRjsFtwiX
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3cCOw8pQkV
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。374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNt696HkYDu
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIUpJ228qvG
「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：374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsbu34M8HYA
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCAOkBI4AVq
「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。」374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLu0nGzBTEt
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsgP2o15dCl
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。374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZgx61UZh9Q
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGYC56ltP43
「這就是那時候、他們從媽媽的身上搶走的東西之一。」374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtLmb5mjR6s
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsPq1Qy4Du7
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。374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5te7EbsB9z
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIUoze4mVtX
從那時起，濺在臉上的那朵紅花就已經在紫藤的心頭生根。374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj6cvpEZfml
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeBdOeA6mUH
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。374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOZ9rU5AGdW
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSlcEG5CnBc
「原來……這是對紫藤來說這麼重要的東西啊。」374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9QsSTqidSO
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF1YCuJN1ji
「嗯。」紫藤在胸前連同戒指握緊了拳頭。374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3loojFd0fp
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkxLYzlkbfB
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。374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbrQNMnTuk4
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQKR7Cy7jGR
自己已經不想要再失去任何東西了。374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwSqKC8NCz4
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv0Qdo1ugZp
「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。374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpWcJmdoImG
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg9MF8r8zU1
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。374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4XKDHPaT9N
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGI44jDbyP2
「媽媽他——」374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQoVz1TJcjo
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOHI52wctcA
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。374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3a7HwaSYGx
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaOXhZpa4Ym
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」。374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKnqTpfUsBl
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJRjQleiEVu
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。374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoOEBFc711n
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTqR9393y0c
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。374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmsvwpMDznt
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa5lBlmxuuQ
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。374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIDVCkEAJXE
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAtQMHHslTK
但紫藤一點都不喜歡學校。374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxODOvNLkEb
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHey8t9eJnM
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。374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYyMbK2pzYo
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOyS2TeN7ml
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。374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9TYHcJaDEB
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeC9fjxvZC9
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。374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEiTzSD7DKa
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg5Nheainq2
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。374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk2IHIoROtl
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjyf4hiKAkd
嗯，這樣就夠了。那時的紫藤只有這麼單純的滿足。374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaEWc4hFfgS
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPTHD8WMksF
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。374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQAg1netmxE
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTnT2r4UqYG
那是一起倒塌事件。374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxloDd1HUwq
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYGyrigsYcX
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。374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpC36J3Z6TW
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2YFC4acd7c
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。374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb0DnUykFYB
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2aZJezb7g8
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。374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhBNhkgJLZQ
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJgqNldLucc
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。374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzlPhrs7fk1
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgOhypHhHo2
「……我會找到給墨駒這個戒指的人。」374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG7eTIcaWL0
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQUz1prtKPY
收起回憶，紫藤再次握緊了戒指。374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI8Gt4Myznq
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfdCUrqX7u9
「然後，殺了他。」374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfkxeHdV495
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwY2L5ob2J1
紫藤的眼神猶如熾火，沒有一分一毫的搖曳。374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrmBNrAVKi2
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyPEgUl6BCa
但只不過幾秒，便很快地萎靡了下來。374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPFkfhj1e4Q
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv9TCUd4amG
「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。」374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHYBWF0MvrC
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtjpzKxrmZZ
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。374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYGVfCD59w5
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7f33DcihdA
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。374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr2EUDY9Kog
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq2JD3K4PGV
「原來、這就是紫藤想要跟我一起行動的原因呀。」374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3qMrO2ZjTv
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1P1946znJ3
「……嗯。」374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjFBTYS9uzQ
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVVTQhbbKfa
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。374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ55d93wMWaF
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrb89QMOjdQ
紫藤深信，這就是自己向那些骯髒禽獸復仇的楔子。374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHfGwNeh5DQ
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRP53tHhQiw
這就是足以斬斷自己心頭那朵紅花的白刃。374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBtT1T5MCBI
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhyI8V3AxuI
「……杜若妳呢？」374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDNzB53ZXIB
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgWT2yrsLko
紫藤拾起快要滿溢的情感，回望了杜若那如新月般的雙眸。374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8AtNwmo4bW
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFSgseLHJhy
「又是為什麼……會開始當殺手？」374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGIGxgjOctz
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCURoy069xm
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。374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡewnBv8EqV5
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtpIB1ax4JZ
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。374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnQ6tObvLts
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbK4fiebRI3
「紫藤……不會生氣吧？」374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGkAbnFG13P
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIVeOv2yDyK
杜若果然還在意著那時自己的衝動。374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZcWyQwa6Dr
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHwAD15Z0XW
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。374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8aResGwjNR
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnhipTnPcMH
「不會。」紫藤堅定地說：「我保證。」374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmh9GUhYpfn
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6eg9MeADBc
等到紫藤緩緩收起手後，杜若才按著胸口，下定決心地開口。374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSSDKRqgixO
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk1gpEE0VId
「……我想要救陶壺叔。」374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeriqLgy0LX
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf5QOCI90AA
杜若喃喃吐出的回答令紫藤感到十分意外。374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJBkgOo8zHv
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOd7jiQgMbq
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？374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5iw1km94dr
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc2QcriqHb7
就好像發現了紫藤的疑惑，杜若幽幽地繼續說道：374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ48gNe50Juz
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkLcRFv5gtL
「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。」374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHuuMVjSHl1
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOoYMOlxr34
全身慢慢就會不能動的病？374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX1SUPRcr3V
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlLr9LBtZG9
這種病紫藤是頭一次聽見。374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyE0wegeUUo
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoPb7ZwFGbh
「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。」374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ28ztaOwqgg
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc42ygL3gpT
「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。374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnJ0Ud3AubQ
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfIw4hM8v0u
「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。」374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2gdPcRdwvC
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNnF2tvFAWC
杜若的笑只看得見無力。374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSQLDnFIch0
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxBrMApQSCF
「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。」374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6XHWSYmBc0
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh8RQNkrRCV
到這裡，杜若便沒有繼續說下去了。374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP53kIk9mjx
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUty3HvGCZz
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。374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbdLIa6EEi8
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡonpGOIJJkJ
然而，紫藤卻忍不住想要質疑的念頭。374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHCuuux6Pws
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdlg4kc1blx
「那個狐狸、真的就這麼值得相信嗎？」374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZZMYMthV6M
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbGNCCFRqDR
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。374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIsqigbJVrI
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS40rYdQLgj
「……狐狸一直都對我很好呀。」374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCSrCAb1sZe
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxVYkwjfLZt
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。374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡohuByjIlso
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtw666xwGAI
「所以，我還是相信狐狸。」374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYCsWhPBmeS
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFHij0PSBJI
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。374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDQFt7oDb5E
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMiJUBk4JJY
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。374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVVuG6dpvpF
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ83npXgMxXQ
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。374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxVAeetxrue
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiRCKljvHlK
哪怕、就算那道光芒是朝自己射出的子彈也一樣。374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiR5uGi12Wq
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWtVUFeUjbG
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？374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUlfMQkIyE1

這怎麼可能。374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2sSg2HjBFq
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVOERNjMeEQ
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。374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqrm0NsJ96g
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr4BCiZA7Fd
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。374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ52dzVrrP3T
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIz6iOAquXW
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。374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡitX4hKdMwx
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4ql5FYFFEK
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。374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW9BVfpkIRp
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvSbYoRkyp5
察覺到掌心的柔軟，杜若看著紫藤靦腆地一笑。374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrsSfIpn5Ob
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnOJHZ7nKZU
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374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh6CqIJVJBL
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXrLcRfPpTi
「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。374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVJXzmkZy9p
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3IzO65bYH5
「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！」374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOS8BTZisw3
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvASeR06uwV
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。374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq7x6vFWnKs
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5HxPgTGJZN
「不過，果然還是不能夠靠沙華會的人呢。」374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3XUpgMwc6e
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkyIEwFeLXB
經過剛才被反擊的經驗，讓兩人都對這點有了更多的共識。374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqk27FTUx1n
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwnu4Sx6uEU
說了句「話說回來」後，杜若就一轉話鋒、向紫藤問道：374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡljnohlTADm
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXTrm5wh0Xc
「紫藤想要殺掉的人又是誰呀？紫藤還記得嗎？」374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3pdBOLAQ9m
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8YGiGcHTE5
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。374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ71PsG7wg33
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0jIJUEAfHV
「是一個……在脖子後面紋著白色線條的沙華會紋身的人。」374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMramBeT3qC
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOfN9ep3Ma3
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。374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLGiltWuUgC
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBVFBKsLnkM
「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。」374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRlDAjeFyoS
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz8xd54au5A
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。374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT9CJpRBXaj
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡelZsQtlIS4
「這樣的話，我也來幫忙吧！」杜若自告奮勇地舉高手：374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4LPBjt2fnX
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3HnLNgh4me
「兩個人一起找絕對比較快的！」374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKRJqUemXZe
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ14F3SlK4uZ
杜若的模樣、讓紫藤晚了一步才發現自己說錯了話。374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBhSz8AhOlZ
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR0bkX9rUnR
紫藤默默地低下頭、沉聲回答。374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn6f29v2lth
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHrKGlrYWrE
「……不用那樣。我……我自己就夠了。」374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcYtm7csooK
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6TDkrzm8cd
這冷淡的回答讓杜若頓時像被潑了水的貓咪似地一愣。374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDgwxK0XeBI
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkJEMfmhl4u
「可是、紫藤不是說到現在都……」374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7PEM6gfLX2
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwyhWc91zMy
「這本來就是我自己的事。」374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgk5agW75VA
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZivFS8tpdL
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。374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZgtQmvRWfv
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ432q5YcqDr
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。374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD7hX3bKy9h
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtcuGx1xy64
「那要是紫藤遇到危險怎麼辦！」倏地，杜若站起身、提高音量374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVghBa0oCTs
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1ELKIDwRYT
「我就是為了保護自己，才會去學習要怎麼搏鬥。」374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsFisJCCNKc
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoqbZtSoA6I
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。374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡol37ERt5As
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7LVAlvcm6T
「可是、假如對方有槍、假如遇到像今天一樣的事……」374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWuc8hDg2bX
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZPxqjoggxH
「我是不會讓自己被殺死的。」374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPA6g6gBOzL
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo13Fh8iCtB
「紫藤明明就傷成這樣、還說這種話……！」374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxC8K1Negkw
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmjWIxQpbU6
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。374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg9jtgSND0q
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0VARocbOsQ
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。374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHUmTOSJ8IW
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEHX5Zxuf5c
杜若雖然想甩開，但卻在一半就失去了力氣。374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz6Ro7UyvJ0
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyRqo25r9uq
「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……」374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuOJFhqbt22
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaKr7gG11Qd
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。374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpdPDLAz12J
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4W5V0Q5Tyk
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？374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0G4BybZTJW
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRNkpYUvzjG
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。374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmjWSGJBnet
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgWmaBRs5I2
最後，紫藤還是用了奸詐的說法。374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaqhTwjAHAb
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB0WlyPyyqR
「我跟陶壺叔約定過，說不會讓妳受傷了。」374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVImqUGHmqS
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUD9l0H0xsy
「那難道紫藤要我看著妳受傷嗎？」374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN9Am27SJxs
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBjtpfjMAfb
雖然夾雜著鼻音、但這句話卻如此強而有力。374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡssUl4ekefZ
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKyrGJ564o8
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。374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbpJOsk6ELy
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4xpPHeQ68F
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。374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtmAOtqJlOn
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw0tpNeemqb
而紫藤打算再在杜若的身上再添一層相同的痛苦嗎？374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF8q9ZGVVtw
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe9ev9YTspi
紫藤無法回答，只是沉默地別開了視線。374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoVIP8gxT6D
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAPoc1PLeJR
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？374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpfKZ9Gc169
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw0wG4u8osc
哪條路都是崎嶇，哪條路也都是痛苦。374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDa4EXIKi0e
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU4ppLkvcSp
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？374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2N2KVoZGxT
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwXEgov3Xow
只因為就連接受也是痛苦吧。374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQCGQn8lTCT
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaG3BavrhQz
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？374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm5YzUueF9k
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCLXAFarme5
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。374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl1iM9FHCwA
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBDdfNlSlXy
思及至此，紫藤才慢慢地放鬆了手中的力道。374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzylfgJSwVP
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsD6IFcL6Cw
「答應我、要先保護好妳自己。」374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW4yhIZoDvR
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqV6GDXKrab
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。374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIyAncqZfrK
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡblDAThGops
「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。374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX4hSRUG0Tg
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgCBCWV2hKY
「所以，我的份就用來保護紫藤吧！」374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyoJ76GDQOa
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVevHeKcA1a
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。374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡigOxJh5RWl
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡunvxgSnYCY
「喔喔！紫藤笑了耶！」374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQG3XFoUdzo
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbkVIrRmdJX
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。374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7fIFokh4cI
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpmnuyXX7Kf
「哇啊啊——！對不起！」杜若立刻慌張地放下手來。374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiONsBhFAUz
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlddiqzbSbO
疼痛雖然還沒散去，但紫藤還是發自內心地笑了。374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTdf6eX32OS
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4eKW1dZM0L
「……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？」374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBoRoq7vdvS
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2juTwKkJ5y
「咦？」這提議讓紫藤也感到意外地眨了眨眼。374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWuVXIcx0jz
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqesYVJPZKS
「雖然是我自己猜的……不過狐狸應該很擅長找人吧。」374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRRMnHhIL5U
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ67mBfjghnc
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。374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzgtq5Qq2Wq
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB9EppUbNEQ
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。374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSPoQS1f4sp
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHpqDBJoXus
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。374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8RxR8CJIr3
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq10B0C0UZj
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？374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk5S6iWj4SC
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCMEwUzgz58
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？374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDFirxDoorn
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO326cw5Q8W
「那……可以幫我跟狐狸說說看嗎？」374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi2ZqlZQBhN
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡovrn8iHTh2
「當然呀，這是我提議的嘛～」杜若自信地抱起手臂、挺起胸膛。374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ61WqpNFloo
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQbIJtq7ggK
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。374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSPV8s8fksP
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwPP7wSQLt3
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。374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw9q46GcaoL
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGZ2Eqk6PM2
「妳的傷……換我幫妳吧。」374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ38Mq5MxTSZ
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmic4kECdg8
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。374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBotLrMTcKB
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6LiWnBUtm7
「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。374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPtZMQDbIlX
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡblVr885tIo
「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。374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0TaAWhaWro
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqOhJV5r1Ui
「撕得開來嗎？」杜若看著紫藤有些僵硬的動作，有所顧慮地問。374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQhp5rqA4cK
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKpwVuWzfjp
「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。374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9rOtiq9ksB
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrRF118p5vM
「……好了。換膝蓋吧。」374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC23Q1p5buA
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd1Kb6q3fXG
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。374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKaIhuqLNsv
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf8R5wAjQI2
「我臉上有什麼嗎？」紫藤不解地偏過頭。374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNjvjwZ3git
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2a1pN5ptyv
「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：374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1oiRX8JOTR
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhuuTEeyWrX
「只是覺得紫藤認真的模樣……果然好帥喔。」374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ34pFvTgYQQ
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr33JO5xrhG
突如其來的稱讚，令紫藤頓時耳根一熱。374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKX61UP1YOq
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJkKZ1E8WJm
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？374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHROIvduxFe
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVFVtiurZwW
「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：374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTGQxqGjkux
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb0AawwoxHY
「謝謝……」374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡECZMt4pD3a
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB566znKvCZ
「嗯？」374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsFtvAlDKPy
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhTPre855t5
「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……！」374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6fyK3jsQMo
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeLyTD40AQd
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。374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmVxIkdSksD
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDIwhDtfn2X
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。374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjb5Gfl6LP5
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1lpodm0Piy
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。374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfeX1fttchs
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbJPeSML5uL
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。374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtwSdhul7FM
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeVNLxkMWvs
「稍微……稍微彎起來一點。」374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMvmPRlIdEs
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPwCH1XdVqY
「這樣？」374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtB4vUPXPNw
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡngCfiR926G
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。374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrHj4djr5LQ
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmGZbE2MT5B
「……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。374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ3JVMAaHIq
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJMxQYjkJRN
於是紫藤收起醫療用品，起身將箱子放回原位。374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1qEuPnFPmV
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIg2XyGJyZt
「對了，剛才紫藤提到的事件……」374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjwJu15PfTS
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0N6U8mk9iO
就在要踏出房門的時候，杜若忽然想到了什麼似地開了口。374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzZQv5CPU1D
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡylwzEY97kB
「事件、是倒塌事件嗎？」374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzsZNtAhGbB
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPivO4XaaXN
「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。374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4HfjasU5H5
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡItxbsVBcZ9
「怎麼了嗎？」看見杜若的模樣，令紫藤擔心地走了回去。374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7kf8yi0RlF
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdE7oJYL07y
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。374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0WMppn21Tr
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLCC6X1aRZH
「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！」374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd3wPBmqDNC
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWq1L6Tk5Jr
紫藤雖然感到疑惑，卻還是沒有多問地走出了房間。374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbuL3QmclrB
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgRnr2MSzKx
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。374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoXlykLErRZ
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbZLPEDslfz
「我們……好像弄錯順序了耶。」374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkFuKLV5mDV
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt465UYi4bn
「……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。374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH11Ngq9p1v
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXQnIHfrUzS
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。374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuc9P4aOc4r
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEuWncpIbo7
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。374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfZbtTUK8rA
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOMuuGuU8Zj
「紫藤需要我幫忙嗎？」374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrgSKEzYlGB
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmwh1h4vl0x
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。374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmtXL2raS9u
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrwzqFsXXQp
「我、我自己來就可以了……」374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7GpkBB3M0U
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYG1SU9r8cY
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。374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQWSC6BpcOU
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2qTEWXNYTu
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。374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDXzoXt3wbC
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡapdJ5sjJ8F
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。374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMxJXyP7PcS
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL51GQeJZvS
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。374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoOARbmP5IP

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。374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbnAnTr3AF4
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnJ3WUzvMoB
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？374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBzUaOpIZWf

「……紫藤。」374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiDm6pDeRiY
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ5MuM5Fmx7
「怎麼了？」374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡooZTimzTU2
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPUSdGC7YKr
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。374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUdUvRp879c
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRgY6sLnIYN
「紫藤說、會一直在我身邊……我可以相信紫藤吧？」374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOIw9LyQDXE
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFE5zbxDyee
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。374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkxX6162Itw
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2xw606DzLn
紫藤伸出手輕蓋在了杜若的後腦，卻沒有辦法就這麼點頭。374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8OHEa1oibc
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFzwh1t95wG
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？374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqTF0W4gRrt
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt8hq2tEUFY
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。374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTFjTedV9P0
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡglm96T6Vif
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。374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpMvcG3WEvs
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEkN7NNibCo
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？374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMP3Wmf7bEL
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFv6M0vL47e
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。374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡereLqxLCOc
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpdoCeX0cfi
不過紫藤現在就在這裡。374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUlaIE9YT3y
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJmvHvLTLsc
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。374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf1hQGP30oi
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvAU7uZgWNp
於是、紫藤探出指頭，用指腹輕貼上了杜若的臉頰。374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFWO7X9dQhT
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtD0b6I3Mz2
「……我會試著做到的。」374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUZPFESlxK2
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXyV9nhsuGP
「什麼嘛……」聽見這不乾脆的回答，杜若便沒輒地笑了。374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiR7IWz6SZQ
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB2AIvFpc4i
「不過……我相信紫藤喔。」374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFsh7uS4xBy
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4wdxG67vAU
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。374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX2DI6vMt3v
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPbcJ0urUIW
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。374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEnlMo2W3Wr
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSh09yV5ElQ
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。374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxBJoXDVyhI
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTjw7RNhntk
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。374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1LIoOONCZo
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9PLVpv6uDn
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。374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡowRTHb5sb9
