迴響的隆隆聲如同夢境般遠去。433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDwevBM7Esp
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡREX9hL29Of
從開出的小縫裡，一道狹窄的光切開了無邊無際的黑暗。433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ35fMnoFcPl
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCeRo6CbDlR
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。433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSRSAF8AceF
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw1B2DmAklT
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。433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP3RsMRO04n
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjU9Otmrylw
連沙華會都靜謐下來，就代表連凌晨也快要結束了吧。433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaG3P6w5EcA
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3hmfldfLir
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。433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXrM4pGUZSd
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXYaGpewQ4i
「走吧。我們一起回去。」433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUbWaTYtn0c
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7sMD24XOzY
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。433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpj0zo0jVia
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYNbkrCdS8r
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。433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM3hjWDraPn
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyvf2KOTizA
為了處理傷口，杜若讓紫藤靠到了床板上頭。433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7HZZkSHdW5
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXiUUFTXpg0
「嗚……！」433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH6pX2ufnSX
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ483xxk2zIl
消毒藥水碰到傷口的劇痛，讓紫藤吃痛地叫出悶聲。433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw6uS6LrcuO
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKKOzaaoHNs
「很痛嗎……？」杜若停下動作，擔憂地看向紫藤。433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1nYEvoImd4
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEr9H6K170b
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。433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWsK5NeKXs7
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjyJXoEdvYI
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。433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2oknthgfuX
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwPJXkOaw2t
「……我還可以忍。」說完，紫藤打直手臂。433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLEx2Znwuav
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3Lj4p4o2ZP
杜若點點頭，卻宛如做錯了事一般地垂下眼簾。433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwT5RfJD2Hq
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNSQohQzUNY
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。433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiSvpozSGfN
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3167kLNjRZ
「那、再忍耐一下就好。」433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyo6wGQa8tH
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZWzfOwwVeT
「呼、呼……嗚——！」433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvc9LoOcRVo
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqjnxyCbSyv
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。433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVdil1EuT1j
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiwVpXU8tpR
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。433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWXIHIDDLjq
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3n4VGF5APp
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。433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuyE0n2O3cL
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMv4YztwK6s
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。433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb2STFBlkox
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTqXU0eHLFg
「還要喝嗎？」杜若捧著還有一半的水杯，輕柔地問。433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx8YCNuBhr6
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPoVRkAy8DO
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。433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPrAYYO402Y
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqWQEQ0OJWx
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。433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlTWucnYUqC
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsl6gopudl7
「……謝謝。」433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSavxtXczKm
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo39GX5r6NY
「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。433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7J89pSRNS6
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9GHunpcXDt
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。433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZWdOuQt5kV
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡksbCExYA42
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。433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzYXxCI9HNF
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5u5lEskUOU
不過，這無疑都是事實。433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhkjwrkD1Rw
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiNPY7EY8rP
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。433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQaTp2ezJlg
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzgjPavScYn
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。433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0TwT2NGmEX
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCSPCwAxbOy
「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。433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdfmB2dEpfp
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8pykCfASZk
沉默了半晌，紫藤才慢慢地開口。433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3KTmzgR5Wm
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuEZHAOLg6t
「是我媽媽的遺物。」433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVKj31qoWus
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeM67T5pjtE
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。433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXjGtWAn6mK
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqCbQ6zBnjN
「咦……？那為什麼會在墨駒的手裡呀？」杜若不假思索地問道。433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCHXSq1KGfa
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEl4upJjydA
「我也不知道。」紫藤搖搖頭，黯然地闔上雙眼。433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2eDlJR61Vf
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHwF7RROZqf
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。433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4QvW0NKlLg
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTjIl8q52p0
「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：433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzguiiLYSK9
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJHvpCrap1M
「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。」433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJmkcjUt3pK
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2tJw2ox2Ye
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。433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTwTwCykoiE
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuxx6zEsIns
「這就是那時候、他們從媽媽的身上搶走的東西之一。」433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlyH5Spokom
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDrjCzhWLds
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。433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡisa9e9HvmE
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3tZLnfnK3k
從那時起，濺在臉上的那朵紅花就已經在紫藤的心頭生根。433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc4giAz2iSI
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdxxTNIFJKv
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。433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2gd6O3Vp0a
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuUb2ctwXDK
「原來……這是對紫藤來說這麼重要的東西啊。」433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb20rbhAQcV
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6hg1Lzl7TK
「嗯。」紫藤在胸前連同戒指握緊了拳頭。433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT8yVmyZ3Vo
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL2lfVNarrb
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。433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZV29AiF50G
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuojlcTDS8c
自己已經不想要再失去任何東西了。433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡETjwooAtDP
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2GZpBN9Nci
「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。433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdimaVU2Ybv
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE6pgiiVI9L
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。433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgNbZ3Z98hc
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPvk0wHU9Hw
「媽媽他——」433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaMfE5hVkPO
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ85f3ZBFNIw
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。433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡizdsGkn2Eq
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwqVenkjcl7
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」。433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI0ZoumQdS2
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNlrezgxHT0
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。433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqnDw7JWYOd
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiu0dd3TzbP
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。433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFPA3761Wkq
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcmI3QwqP6f
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。433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjVSaiqm6vr
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXoetFuO7wB
但紫藤一點都不喜歡學校。433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpTfI5s3dp0
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡda4mw09jDZ
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。433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlUyVz9NHdb
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsDoAlW0G46
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。433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFrqeWoGkff
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFCOklWjznI
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。433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEgVoGHJmfO
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRxGUthRdrK
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。433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxNs7lUv57b
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7bKpURWvcG
嗯，這樣就夠了。那時的紫藤只有這麼單純的滿足。433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfy1rOzEoNl
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlgqYIJA5sb
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。433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe1tcp8xto3
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2Nnt2kou8f
那是一起倒塌事件。433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmwMOE7pkZL
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCxCqPwg048
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。433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGAueoNqdaS
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6P0VCrryrV
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。433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSpji67AlJY
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDUgK3AeZtF
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。433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1kNCUwkTyy
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHpqBejqOyD
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。433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7gxl2LsPl6
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxy21fidOtU
「……我會找到給墨駒這個戒指的人。」433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1wKPZmtcAW
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvJjgc96ffz
收起回憶，紫藤再次握緊了戒指。433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwEwHkdSgaz
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUsN3OrSgit
「然後，殺了他。」433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdtNukHY657
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUATkErMA6y
紫藤的眼神猶如熾火，沒有一分一毫的搖曳。433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTmncPJQa1p
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDV6CFazRAg
但只不過幾秒，便很快地萎靡了下來。433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD95KwZMqvX
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5jYDfyQnq2
「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。」433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzTU9b1Nzsj
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa7FXHQJNq2
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。433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpXcnxy2mu0
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSnZUiuVBjn
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。433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfpY5ChS1PP
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTO3EEVY5GF
「原來、這就是紫藤想要跟我一起行動的原因呀。」433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCRSXIPWcpd
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtNQ3jNqCNl
「……嗯。」433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyw0DyJcgLT
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKi2LLDWH1H
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。433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3iEisF7v9x
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8RmkfNZg5g
紫藤深信，這就是自己向那些骯髒禽獸復仇的楔子。433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlcWpYNAvZi
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHAwYYlh6Tz
這就是足以斬斷自己心頭那朵紅花的白刃。433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpXmG2BJsG0
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfspwuqhhOX
「……杜若妳呢？」433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBFwopRV9kn
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNs3gf2QWQo
紫藤拾起快要滿溢的情感，回望了杜若那如新月般的雙眸。433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtsSQfPF7eq
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ6X9BwXn19
「又是為什麼……會開始當殺手？」433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEQl6Pzhhnk
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwvQJ3itKHb
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。433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx0K6qoOsCJ
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4L9fOrPLru
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。433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFOpAL4CzB4
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgaHEGDgfMP
「紫藤……不會生氣吧？」433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8F4U2hz2DL
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4noJ947MRE
杜若果然還在意著那時自己的衝動。433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzL73Zm9G2c
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4MGUdPNGzM
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。433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvkrO7wSQKR
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEPrAPEzk0o
「不會。」紫藤堅定地說：「我保證。」433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp95UZQF7el
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM3BMB1INov
等到紫藤緩緩收起手後，杜若才按著胸口，下定決心地開口。433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSMRciOLnsw
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4AEsRl55WK
「……我想要救陶壺叔。」433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgyoK2SgEYw
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnQfUHDhOnD
杜若喃喃吐出的回答令紫藤感到十分意外。433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUepeRyWe4p
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBPmI8xt1rZ
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？433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI5zJi1AO1v
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyLCRAx3WhR
就好像發現了紫藤的疑惑，杜若幽幽地繼續說道：433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRNNEDn2IoP
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNXL8ZGIkDQ
「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。」433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN0ToXSbRB6
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg7aNFtt2Ef
全身慢慢就會不能動的病？433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkBw2bnjcEK
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7XkmORxLGY
這種病紫藤是頭一次聽見。433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiXZPZdE1uq
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBmJIIspJoA
「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。」433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNutPh2hdKm
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb5OofEsENa
「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。433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKLPaNXGFR2
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtrr8FE7au1
「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。」433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmacjh2XggM
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnQRkL04OHO
杜若的笑只看得見無力。433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvddpW3amBC
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqIdsX9vgDX
「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。」433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnxlVXDAgOb
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJZCrlHG6bV
到這裡，杜若便沒有繼續說下去了。433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiffeTQZFDJ
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4Ij7wGvp2r
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。433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqZrhERFAOW
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHfCYZQd07L
然而，紫藤卻忍不住想要質疑的念頭。433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfmCNs1fgkg
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDad6ebOZBs
「那個狐狸、真的就這麼值得相信嗎？」433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJTnIJhWEkB
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHyPijlwnVM
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。433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8YhLv77gFf
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXKWHlE3c92
「……狐狸一直都對我很好呀。」433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD23E0Q7lCu
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSHuH5BMSde
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。433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr9JpAU85Yy
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡouT5PiV24V
「所以，我還是相信狐狸。」433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWW5rWgYPgX
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHwfY041csg
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。433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡln7T6ALYly
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPRuZZx42X4
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。433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡerEgVi3KnL
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRdVitpOyFy
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。433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGuNhuCjusm
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKDcTqLvw65
哪怕、就算那道光芒是朝自己射出的子彈也一樣。433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAbIlDZG01A
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKcRKqhA8J9
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？433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt5U76do7i2

這怎麼可能。433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZFeBYq39Re
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqjY0gXZs4W
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。433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU7w0Q7JVF7
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9IYXsz8vJt
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。433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrmkvI5OaLs
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ173PMWXfj
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。433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSjU1EqrYno
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGnEP5oiNU2
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。433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzCQZEZbkzT
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfIYeRgavkp
察覺到掌心的柔軟，杜若看著紫藤靦腆地一笑。433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI67pNGJ2eQ
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzdnJ3q4caX
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433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGGDSwcjSMf
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGnqXyAU5Ft
「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。433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjs4LnilmC4
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfNGfe93UNC
「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！」433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxxXPelcYwG
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡseW0oGR7vA
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。433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRSveqPc5o9
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzxb9MUYFkr
「不過，果然還是不能夠靠沙華會的人呢。」433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1KD9tIXfiC
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXR2KaBdpyr
經過剛才被反擊的經驗，讓兩人都對這點有了更多的共識。433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG3xy56NHhK
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9Fn2YlGyse
說了句「話說回來」後，杜若就一轉話鋒、向紫藤問道：433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc9oET5jvsy
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7vzeuuTSDO
「紫藤想要殺掉的人又是誰呀？紫藤還記得嗎？」433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2tKUKZsb2N
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjSMR0tbCAs
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。433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtOY4P0Ot2W
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHQ1yRvyTHo
「是一個……在脖子後面紋著白色線條的沙華會紋身的人。」433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJgK1tTwEwv
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGpSmbiyMZB
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。433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoDidDTsHzu
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡARWTtqva4w
「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。」433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcHSqf9EPwg
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0nWtWIWnSQ
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。433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSHlBBgPm8Z
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZlVVfu8RjG
「這樣的話，我也來幫忙吧！」杜若自告奮勇地舉高手：433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmZDUfgWORe
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzVlMTbkfMB
「兩個人一起找絕對比較快的！」433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCJLQZq7rxl
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhJPbuCYqMD
杜若的模樣、讓紫藤晚了一步才發現自己說錯了話。433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1iU3zDWAJE
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgPWQY382S0
紫藤默默地低下頭、沉聲回答。433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUDE1aoPJRu
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkBZ9gZ4Xql
「……不用那樣。我……我自己就夠了。」433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkD1m4ax7Ai
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhnlRzkSTce
這冷淡的回答讓杜若頓時像被潑了水的貓咪似地一愣。433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAKCdIC8Tm8
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJJeuALOL6Y
「可是、紫藤不是說到現在都……」433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5TMW65xNbr
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjEChg0lbKP
「這本來就是我自己的事。」433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkPyJopDi1t
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK7kfzDIzUA
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。433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWvZDEpNhWe
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq4twrNqLhv
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。433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPLn9eCTCeE
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbqyXqTC9OS
「那要是紫藤遇到危險怎麼辦！」倏地，杜若站起身、提高音量433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8qOu7z1HEv
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPEb2VpzCjR
「我就是為了保護自己，才會去學習要怎麼搏鬥。」433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAy0WSuBSij
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQgiDiZzMnC
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。433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4SGiT87p2F
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuHdq9GW8S2
「可是、假如對方有槍、假如遇到像今天一樣的事……」433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIGMxMx2bUu
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfauQdHruvW
「我是不會讓自己被殺死的。」433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1CkxiATckJ
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIW9pba5h2j
「紫藤明明就傷成這樣、還說這種話……！」433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡohmCjEX2tX
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt9q0ZE5MNZ
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。433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUpFJVGptQu
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZBwT3FxxbQ
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。433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjcB6lxS81x
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡul2UQfZZCp
杜若雖然想甩開，但卻在一半就失去了力氣。433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsnzukrbWwr
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡboWy1BIGD4
「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……」433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAfawGTvE9q
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyNr4w0ppyM
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。433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ4bzr7uAJW
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSibVNoaKcK
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？433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3oP2bXLjGb
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5qrk3DpZxi
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。433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡolHFQ8r8Ik
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXzxeiD8ibx
最後，紫藤還是用了奸詐的說法。433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdtRilX4iMs
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqPTfaA6EUO
「我跟陶壺叔約定過，說不會讓妳受傷了。」433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUZwPHC9V2l
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBQ9cIOJnOX
「那難道紫藤要我看著妳受傷嗎？」433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc0EhY8SnKE
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmAa0hauGaE
雖然夾雜著鼻音、但這句話卻如此強而有力。433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgT3wJOBh6q
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlkMaPFD7QU
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。433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6lgrfpsn2f
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6U3zE9QxU1
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。433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMFBGjHKoqz
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBdHi3D42gd
而紫藤打算再在杜若的身上再添一層相同的痛苦嗎？433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7LCNKDcdT9
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGMnhGQEWvR
紫藤無法回答，只是沉默地別開了視線。433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMi8FvfZyci
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBLKM8bSO6P
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？433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYnV13yp2cJ
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaEdM9JVGdQ
哪條路都是崎嶇，哪條路也都是痛苦。433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9GK6ljYnsl
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUE1rnacKXz
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？433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQNgPWg2n12
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPp0ZWgyTSU
只因為就連接受也是痛苦吧。433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwWxY7h8X7k
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVpoDsxJwdV
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？433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf3xwXIpgm8
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPJq7zHQTcu
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。433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH65wRVxW4P
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡalSKFEJIuo
思及至此，紫藤才慢慢地放鬆了手中的力道。433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZKhaeQVyKO
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuesvWljbty
「答應我、要先保護好妳自己。」433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡstRwhyK7mT
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW21L4HPc7X
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。433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWx7XIWj8Xq
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWfIajp18P5
「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。433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6h9Uc64MeV
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmtIb6vxRzw
「所以，我的份就用來保護紫藤吧！」433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwvrIZzQtPr
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6QcJMDvdfj
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。433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡooCHHOJDIh
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLV33xICvOy
「喔喔！紫藤笑了耶！」433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc6fn6sgwAQ
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUnhVFjfT9m
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。433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHQfx02Zu3B
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV07TX3BKRc
「哇啊啊——！對不起！」杜若立刻慌張地放下手來。433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB2WnfoETYW
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpHER6J31G2
疼痛雖然還沒散去，但紫藤還是發自內心地笑了。433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡezpwUjJLHP
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡypCoz1k5Je
「……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？」433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbN7Da86p9b
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDd2t572dv1
「咦？」這提議讓紫藤也感到意外地眨了眨眼。433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFXcdCAGwDL
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWHiwO7x8Bv
「雖然是我自己猜的……不過狐狸應該很擅長找人吧。」433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3FzeLiFpiA
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDgdWDRzFzD
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。433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwXYHf5RU3w
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg7HoRlDmfW
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。433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7jWrnh3jMf
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtd2g0lJCCr
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。433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjQswgYDij0
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoTqfYEfTZh
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？433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk4RT7YDpik
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjGbiUYN7U4
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？433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ49IAoHJdoU
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLjDntwWo7M
「那……可以幫我跟狐狸說說看嗎？」433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT0yPGEtswC
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz8pjxwa703
「當然呀，這是我提議的嘛～」杜若自信地抱起手臂、挺起胸膛。433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtUdPe5k9L7
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAK0kqJBscC
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。433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV5ITSVJMew
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3ueyoPaFGd
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。433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSPZgj6rNAh
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqT8rsu3AEV
「妳的傷……換我幫妳吧。」433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1MnBgOLHrK
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRd3ZjSqYTz
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。433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6dMKTXHJSO
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1YBOqBG9yp
「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。433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOE4fw7wVD8
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtXuj5nFY0i
「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。433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwXUBiUpZfL
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6MAfokmOf8
「撕得開來嗎？」杜若看著紫藤有些僵硬的動作，有所顧慮地問。433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI3y4uiDvfR
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT6VQ6qa39Z
「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。433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRuk12Oc71K
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWXuIytEeez
「……好了。換膝蓋吧。」433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeb3cVeAXRs
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoN2084wFLI
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。433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdE6PAGpON6
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRF4bSjVx9E
「我臉上有什麼嗎？」紫藤不解地偏過頭。433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIY7rh90KHv
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu758U3DTCI
「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：433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdtecjPWyEt
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNNBqiOXZQ4
「只是覺得紫藤認真的模樣……果然好帥喔。」433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHx2o7oRxrx
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzprJOAyoNk
突如其來的稱讚，令紫藤頓時耳根一熱。433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpW3mxIJS69
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAoIVkfKMB2
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？433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWUuvGGTtxZ
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0abyX33b8v
「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：433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAveM1tbZHx
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfzoWF5ngRb
「謝謝……」433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnBpJ6wt8uL
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ39TNcJVpjy
「嗯？」433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXkDRFWWoev
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBQtCQwGOan
「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……！」433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSfmoyDlMzH
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqCC095Tlbz
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。433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWnOA54YnOf
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzNCV3tNgKc
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。433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJtgwZ9gPNX
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHI0bSrrkHS
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。433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKLquhcaPZX
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs2ctWZCHL0
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。433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSMAcZSR0Aw
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc21iXfdUQe
「稍微……稍微彎起來一點。」433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡezv7bGgBqS
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkY8XRuxY5M
「這樣？」433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUVNbCsssyM
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf9fThD2O0T
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。433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcaAywplYOw
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBiumAA0fr9
「……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。433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmOFQ2RDSJg
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ1KRgJSG2p
於是紫藤收起醫療用品，起身將箱子放回原位。433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHJ5ejsClAD
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsUMQo5GJyU
「對了，剛才紫藤提到的事件……」433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZnI4SMLVVe
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7dK8qVTqk5
就在要踏出房門的時候，杜若忽然想到了什麼似地開了口。433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgek3ZIZxZ0
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrBzqGVmgtc
「事件、是倒塌事件嗎？」433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxnEvY00ZKl
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzCEuX64tVG
「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。433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkIoHuGoNL4
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3tGqDquM2Z
「怎麼了嗎？」看見杜若的模樣，令紫藤擔心地走了回去。433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjbO8yIRret
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB3IPhGfTwg
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。433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡts4N4PKcrD
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPaEYYLCNKR
「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！」433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKFjaPyBeHo
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGSfGOkmDhV
紫藤雖然感到疑惑，卻還是沒有多問地走出了房間。433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwh3hNG5ZKV
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3IhBAZqhXT
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。433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡidAieFZxF9
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfUVhI8Ovuv
「我們……好像弄錯順序了耶。」433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhtDXTLommF
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfs6PpxoCFO
「……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。433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3f6aWQ6xru
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdSUrSYbbhl
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。433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgvWfx2ExDK
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTmv7D2wxDM
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。433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUkIV97fJep
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡidNg1Uxaox
「紫藤需要我幫忙嗎？」433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkgPB1Svj3A
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡplmoV3h85z
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。433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVEFgnfBuiy
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfgbsMFralk
「我、我自己來就可以了……」433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjoBesAZjXF
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlJrp8QQBRy
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。433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwWwosQ8O2c
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvIduhs1CEm
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。433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3YnQTnBDbU
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkl0uzybDin
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。433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJITED9IpFU
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO9nBu5Yx9N
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。433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwZpKTfxaYu
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX4U0maOb8M
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。433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6wIwjMvRD4
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkgu3lC0xf4
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？433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYNdoXv3jrf
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFW6v14ebkR
「……紫藤。」433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeB5yliRhdA
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwKUK11ISrF
「怎麼了？」433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRCnuzkYVG1
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsvAPTgrwyE
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。433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMtgCjEsYlj
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWo2pgywPzv
「紫藤說、會一直在我身邊……我可以相信紫藤吧？」433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhgOzi8AqHY
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYtpKGo2QyL
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。433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB2XkV74CxR
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtV0JgbDZz8
紫藤伸出手輕蓋在了杜若的後腦，卻沒有辦法就這麼點頭。433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYXkhFBhgia
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDibl4cP6Cr
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？433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGfyyMuYBpb
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5Nka0RHyBx
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。433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNykbfyKGwm
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡScU6PUdzxS
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。433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrDpcBadvP8
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3utrBImmij
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？433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAxxSFkyHLT
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzh3borjgrZ
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。433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvEfPPXV3ao
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcazFiChOEO
不過紫藤現在就在這裡。433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI4dil9Xt6V
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxXpfEUTkCV
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。433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1Kxgh46R27
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFMI2Nk5YNx
於是、紫藤探出指頭，用指腹輕貼上了杜若的臉頰。433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4fO2NLRIn2
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0qno5nge9O
「……我會試著做到的。」433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzayrMf75yk
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkGRE4mi7eh
「什麼嘛……」聽見這不乾脆的回答，杜若便沒輒地笑了。433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxc1BFtxe1d
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhcUbTzGBB3
「不過……我相信紫藤喔。」433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1PvYjfSxhd
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSGQmIhENWS
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。433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPBELnpkfkZ
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQkTplGRY5d
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。433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq770OllXNL
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2Ki0gr30xV
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。433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo4vf9gRDBg
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIfRGxYused
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。433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVVQschr1c0
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCatTHBkMlH
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。433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqZgSFThzvk
