迴響的隆隆聲如同夢境般遠去。340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbOMRi1Dllj
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS98lB8dT7A
從開出的小縫裡，一道狹窄的光切開了無邊無際的黑暗。340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡabT2ssZqJU
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxdbQIK29l1
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。340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWeHY53GiCL
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7lTLgVTe5X
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。340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKuN7IOOB9Z
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTDCy45y78t
連沙華會都靜謐下來，就代表連凌晨也快要結束了吧。340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnWY5O4OX4I
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnoFUnfpWVY
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。340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4NJSUFZ9XY
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIllZ87HyTI
「走吧。我們一起回去。」340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4sERJ6WxmE
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnKhIxhbAD3
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。340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpQkGAxeGUk
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoxK40pCmSM
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。340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqwAJvmMSYy
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzy31FCygUF
為了處理傷口，杜若讓紫藤靠到了床板上頭。340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpXdL6zqNKQ
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7CmsjROZBO
「嗚……！」340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2UGTsHWWsK
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdbp9L4K0qZ
消毒藥水碰到傷口的劇痛，讓紫藤吃痛地叫出悶聲。340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhs3ojM0FLr
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8lRYl0NNeL
「很痛嗎……？」杜若停下動作，擔憂地看向紫藤。340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzZ7frJkTz1
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk7GxOinZGH
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。340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkhByms1jwJ
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTclEz9gSB3
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。340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj8niD7EAr4
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8SXxbvRCUM
「……我還可以忍。」說完，紫藤打直手臂。340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMgmr1NW8cf
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNmAASheoYm
杜若點點頭，卻宛如做錯了事一般地垂下眼簾。340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXTV0ZsAXNj
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtChIf1s4dK
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。340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqzjrHgYVgX
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO9vok8p8n6
「那、再忍耐一下就好。」340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBZPWHq9aji
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvWNNQHWmDM
「呼、呼……嗚——！」340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡInHfBqDcyQ
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbeuRT2w3Fk
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。340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOvMgkNSE9k
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuoN6D90Jkk
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。340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBEs6Kevd9K
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbG3Nm4Btc7
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。340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbzlVWOBjCP
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOTZIbFxEgG
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。340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGCadb6EAtL
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7AaE1YMDk0
「還要喝嗎？」杜若捧著還有一半的水杯，輕柔地問。340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8lmoQ0cOmc
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT2dK62JVwX
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。340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdbpJ7QcGTF
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7O90w0MPc8
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。340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMJOvvLl1QD
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAEbZmqKrgV
「……謝謝。」340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZRHka4BDhY
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfTDhM1SduX
「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。340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZI5iaf3THC
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcxLjacKtyY
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。340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM75NaaOAUM
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCzNVPZvKgD
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。340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmUIZ4E6kzK
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmwLD9J5SH0
不過，這無疑都是事實。340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgIsTP2shkF
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6VsxqcXMQt
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。340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKMjrl0V1E4
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkaoi9TYnGb
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。340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWuW2al8Vo1
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO1w8x8WcLA
「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。340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUiG4JbZgFX
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0vWxmCBzoI
沉默了半晌，紫藤才慢慢地開口。340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLdX43mMo9q
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn1Zo5CTaUn
「是我媽媽的遺物。」340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKk1W94rEZm
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdRpZAfl1lY
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。340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLn0oCgpuhF
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGhDyRZ1513
「咦……？那為什麼會在墨駒的手裡呀？」杜若不假思索地問道。340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa5Eh6IIwLO
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBBpN0Pb8wo
「我也不知道。」紫藤搖搖頭，黯然地闔上雙眼。340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAOybhFfofo
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmnpSvtUrlM
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。340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6EJYXFjHts
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxM0cYNKbMK
「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：340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnVlrgn53Nd
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQY8uDhI54U
「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。」340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWycXO9D3cn
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz8eOEHgbuZ
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。340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3im2y3tR6U
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvbEJY9NK1M
「這就是那時候、他們從媽媽的身上搶走的東西之一。」340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK8sEKEulKx
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCqNOisBf1j
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。340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO0nYDG1l9C
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIvrfhsO95N
從那時起，濺在臉上的那朵紅花就已經在紫藤的心頭生根。340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQrl5XqjVbC
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBDR9jTUdSm
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。340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6WepBQrV6i
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyH4GdGoQ9Q
「原來……這是對紫藤來說這麼重要的東西啊。」340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0AYjV4oCt4
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLYlLv3URd3
「嗯。」紫藤在胸前連同戒指握緊了拳頭。340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmcB96Fp1K9
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSifwowL7N2
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。340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpHDpKQCyHK
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlblD6EejcL
自己已經不想要再失去任何東西了。340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoHxUhp2ahn
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡki9bKTzUzc
「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。340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC1o6gh9Jgc
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXCkwWNlxmH
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。340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8Oap9XEwBW
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGL5Oyq7iuR
「媽媽他——」340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFFO1QJYWdD
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbHrOIuNkkp
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。340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHPM07tdXTR
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu3RRClY60e
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」。340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuxu5yh8TKS
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUWwbfJEcPw
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。340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡilsmkdBEUX
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ55lEphGUiC
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。340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7PI4cfArep
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnhRE5luHeG
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。340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgszOO08zwV
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtuv95lwchM
但紫藤一點都不喜歡學校。340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfnICaBNmPp
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmcQWaxBdlD
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。340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8Q4SEROjJS
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRt3t4g91qL
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。340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4E9FMS0dU6
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqeTIluCebS
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。340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMoT8dqkS4W
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ913vFkHxeW
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。340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu8kjVsmeWG
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8kjrWrAwwQ
嗯，這樣就夠了。那時的紫藤只有這麼單純的滿足。340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjWvU9gOh4f
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡln8T6AFuEQ
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。340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtS9Y7d4MK4
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGDGGysVguj
那是一起倒塌事件。340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuNtUIHo9S0
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ98Brq5obpr
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。340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0jCoxIYHom
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfueFG61a6b
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。340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl6ndeoTjmH
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhmDbjD5h9M
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。340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSSWArM5E8V
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡilLukykv3g
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。340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5XZZiCZyiD
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq6SajuHeb7
「……我會找到給墨駒這個戒指的人。」340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7me4k8sLcB
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO9TKRjNwhY
收起回憶，紫藤再次握緊了戒指。340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEptPT812vO
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu4AbD2VYAg
「然後，殺了他。」340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDPQpwK404S
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCsvSGxnK2z
紫藤的眼神猶如熾火，沒有一分一毫的搖曳。340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvY62shsz6G
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE8OSQgLZMr
但只不過幾秒，便很快地萎靡了下來。340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1nwR2RYlFP
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHBKmLkjOaa
「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。」340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7UwI8jk7xi
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF2M91cQ0uO
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。340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeWeTxOzFK3
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ28g0KFTabN
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。340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk7AjSILDzQ
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfFjEiQrryj
「原來、這就是紫藤想要跟我一起行動的原因呀。」340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5q44titTRm
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTqPO0ynRrt
「……嗯。」340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaoz6rMimbH
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcPbto9Kw4r
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。340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyGcBP1UL4I
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7RV7PkeRHk
紫藤深信，這就是自己向那些骯髒禽獸復仇的楔子。340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKz7mjaU43C
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzkJoVRKtAY
這就是足以斬斷自己心頭那朵紅花的白刃。340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnBwskHcp5e
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4B89qJCuYf
「……杜若妳呢？」340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVgC5GytURl
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe786nCwFbD
紫藤拾起快要滿溢的情感，回望了杜若那如新月般的雙眸。340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡijpxYO6CSR
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUkEZV5cvAw
「又是為什麼……會開始當殺手？」340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlWNi6OZbVA
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgPpsVKS2qu
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。340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV4DAT3rw6g
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkwRojOPjDc
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。340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyyOQqOt5f6
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKiKHThB07c
「紫藤……不會生氣吧？」340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWioHFLns5a
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8kL48US6Ta
杜若果然還在意著那時自己的衝動。340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIPt2kPN39m
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt5hqSDdzwu
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。340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlxXLXEc3zm
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY2PkpCPgts
「不會。」紫藤堅定地說：「我保證。」340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtVn09QnIkc
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsd4Gd0Glra
等到紫藤緩緩收起手後，杜若才按著胸口，下定決心地開口。340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxKWEdTRSgU
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡny1wOuz4Zc
「……我想要救陶壺叔。」340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1crYoAjc76
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNKUT1ELaX7
杜若喃喃吐出的回答令紫藤感到十分意外。340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgR40m02erz
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRzGB8N7ATF
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？340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6stDGKtkEF
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8uA5goqIQz
就好像發現了紫藤的疑惑，杜若幽幽地繼續說道：340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw104IOoGYi
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBZikJN8MdY
「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。」340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmEwzCvcO6M
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjaGBOYrBDz
全身慢慢就會不能動的病？340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlD9mgKDpaK
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdOxK6aawbc
這種病紫藤是頭一次聽見。340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKfx4uHAz30
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC94lCwIu5V
「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。」340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKzceYEBWkP
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ16SOqKs29t
「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。340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpEp0nfQHMF
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUWDpmlbMFh
「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。」340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTDEWS1tT6G
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLjnNz0pkOg
杜若的笑只看得見無力。340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBTn3AHT0wt
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhIpYWlL9TI
「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。」340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBKOGNqUHb6
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTcGxBKXdQv
到這裡，杜若便沒有繼續說下去了。340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFfYu332Upy
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEjjIzIatOD
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。340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6jKlo8FV7Q
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGfqgH0mMU2
然而，紫藤卻忍不住想要質疑的念頭。340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡye8ujz8IMB
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡURayYeSVLG
「那個狐狸、真的就這麼值得相信嗎？」340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4BchzzRKC6
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJo78Gx1SjN
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。340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡakulLmaqwb
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkQV3hOe7hT
「……狐狸一直都對我很好呀。」340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKQam1d94tn
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgQZdxOE1fF
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。340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ88oBmjGnD8
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLCM7QA0F59
「所以，我還是相信狐狸。」340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGGS2EiL640
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlrbFduHV4F
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。340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrhDTelFtUH
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLls4AYx9mz
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。340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHn5t6RPiu9
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOPGzniav0P
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。340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGSS2A5iASH
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7g8vM87trL
哪怕、就算那道光芒是朝自己射出的子彈也一樣。340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpBuUyxpeyq

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？340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCHo9QA7XFX
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvnItow8DRO
這怎麼可能。340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDFjXkbFlhl
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyxA9IHVoWG
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。340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD4EqzWiDIY
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡooxVr7tQXu
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。340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡADZKajv6MJ
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtdKxOELsCk
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。340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyG8gms1UHI
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2FJ03YPYH7
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。340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQi2eVyj8H0
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNJKlM6lELO
察覺到掌心的柔軟，杜若看著紫藤靦腆地一笑。340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmUD92X4yCx
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaQP8Ebg8vh
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340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI9RLgnTEbN
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR68YPLV3lL
「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。340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ1AHmGwUFd
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQa5CWiP0y4
「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！」340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8lPnYeuYmC
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE60MMRrVXu
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。340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvDg5HQLgxG
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM6eXUsfuut
「不過，果然還是不能夠靠沙華會的人呢。」340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyljL4z4xIG
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOzHZ9MfxS0
經過剛才被反擊的經驗，讓兩人都對這點有了更多的共識。340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaPWFJWjvM7
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5Pz6rJiVmD
說了句「話說回來」後，杜若就一轉話鋒、向紫藤問道：340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrrZ1gHb3FV
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡodUu868UpF
「紫藤想要殺掉的人又是誰呀？紫藤還記得嗎？」340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr7TEU5h4yO
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrgelkFIvJ8
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。340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGtcyLShr4M
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP7zrJcrblZ
「是一個……在脖子後面紋著白色線條的沙華會紋身的人。」340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvzXrgPZP7b
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxhdVtFJ6dN
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。340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNxXhRuVsn7
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCsfJNOdpDZ
「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。」340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS8aqkvyhnh
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8gEKUCyWq6
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。340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4HQWE4My2q
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvq2BrCre8h
「這樣的話，我也來幫忙吧！」杜若自告奮勇地舉高手：340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNPZAqR2CuV
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP6VLqXaiNh
「兩個人一起找絕對比較快的！」340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlJxFWSQIVR
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl05NymgbSE
杜若的模樣、讓紫藤晚了一步才發現自己說錯了話。340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5ytZtedGcc
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIGeSTUoEXJ
紫藤默默地低下頭、沉聲回答。340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJdcNtexCrK
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOfEbOl1hNr
「……不用那樣。我……我自己就夠了。」340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡboMs9RURta
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUWHFZCCK43
這冷淡的回答讓杜若頓時像被潑了水的貓咪似地一愣。340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6pJTh53KsX
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1XJD5zvzo3
「可是、紫藤不是說到現在都……」340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxzNqtDbrKq
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrpKemkQ0Ct
「這本來就是我自己的事。」340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpq2imeGZWY
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqt5i6wcHsq
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。340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeTQdMcGs8R
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBuydYoPii9
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。340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbJjpOrDGuI
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh7CzGpVIg1
「那要是紫藤遇到危險怎麼辦！」倏地，杜若站起身、提高音量340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK5VYpDTwF4
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVzVJiwc0Ba
「我就是為了保護自己，才會去學習要怎麼搏鬥。」340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGiErtb12gt
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ37Sc5JVKvp
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。340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRbRP3c2i3C
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl4qOzCxGDd
「可是、假如對方有槍、假如遇到像今天一樣的事……」340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb2GBvDNxrk
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnf9iT3KqZI
「我是不會讓自己被殺死的。」340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiiQ0QqLGvn
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhI2a2ix1I6
「紫藤明明就傷成這樣、還說這種話……！」340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUzzNyAQhFP
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6s34IRrgVU
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。340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoCS7xQjvBu
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTNuqa9jmTL
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。340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9K8zKL0K6A
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxLrIRsMAi7
杜若雖然想甩開，但卻在一半就失去了力氣。340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9fyeyfusoM
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlPi6TyaPSf
「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……」340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4wfQXym472
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6io6YD29FK
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。340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX8kBaxVgYq
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡapCL2NHO7e
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？340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIgwpcG7lWo
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVviurUjQpY
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。340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvSgDKaiFW8
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnsRPgUDC3e
最後，紫藤還是用了奸詐的說法。340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE0U87uP4xG
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8ki9gXcGsp
「我跟陶壺叔約定過，說不會讓妳受傷了。」340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNTZMSC4MXa
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrYdXtQnd3o
「那難道紫藤要我看著妳受傷嗎？」340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBLlMJU3YMs
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4LXchwBwSU
雖然夾雜著鼻音、但這句話卻如此強而有力。340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyq3QKiuC49
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgd1WluPBbI
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。340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqovSkOh0PA
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2JJDnMjswk
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。340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOJqRVRSHao
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEsS7S3pDJc
而紫藤打算再在杜若的身上再添一層相同的痛苦嗎？340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2nvZkqUKT8
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp995SuK4MS
紫藤無法回答，只是沉默地別開了視線。340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhXg93YHLkT
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXH4HbhzwtW
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？340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUDHactqIhz
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwA8LDxOeC7
哪條路都是崎嶇，哪條路也都是痛苦。340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdBsgiV5Kj3
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGW5THwyYC9
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？340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3K8la09ELZ
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoyd9Q8bKkS
只因為就連接受也是痛苦吧。340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgRlUxYtGkx
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2NveMPRWS4
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？340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTuGZ7a7dPn
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡon8Xt6k8QT
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。340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk6UfSXXCyz
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSYeyuwyHNP
思及至此，紫藤才慢慢地放鬆了手中的力道。340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCCEmjC8SFy
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhQiH3i9ocN
「答應我、要先保護好妳自己。」340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj4jWJKNc5J
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQeZjqhG3me
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。340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWcFWSFf2EN
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEjsltsVbaE
「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。340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjlXHJ8Mm2T
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd0SVwn9Wve
「所以，我的份就用來保護紫藤吧！」340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvpol5mowKc
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡztUyhUz7Pm
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。340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQo8qLiS9kO
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVli0qVpWn5
「喔喔！紫藤笑了耶！」340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTrGdj3eMO9
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡymtae9dhIg
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。340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGFlvoWJyfx
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ04v7eEogLZ
「哇啊啊——！對不起！」杜若立刻慌張地放下手來。340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFVjtjkHzYU
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7BWM0hCiiI
疼痛雖然還沒散去，但紫藤還是發自內心地笑了。340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ0jGKtNdIT
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEkUd5Wl3xv
「……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？」340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF2zDMX5XrP
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeWufXv2HTh
「咦？」這提議讓紫藤也感到意外地眨了眨眼。340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrH9L8kLMD6
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi30As0NU6a
「雖然是我自己猜的……不過狐狸應該很擅長找人吧。」340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1Q6GGsEOgM
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDffJkD17ST
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。340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxuw5kJHAme
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHO0S6ZUNsQ
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。340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3pwlIljYN8
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYoP0GUjSRI
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。340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡovCC2DeW7E
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzIvzCr3JiU
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？340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRkWLmbigXI
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT6RYhp6luE
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？340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrCHzOHC1mH
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgLET8D7UM8
「那……可以幫我跟狐狸說說看嗎？」340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnG1yfcr2cz
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwsJfuBzv4j
「當然呀，這是我提議的嘛～」杜若自信地抱起手臂、挺起胸膛。340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOcXZqDAFsR
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmzjFVBXfwC
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。340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrxXJ0xqmUv
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD4JvYD6PR0
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。340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPi79Qjtm6i
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYMdCBMzTIC
「妳的傷……換我幫妳吧。」340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcZIzD84TSC
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNtTOY0Wvob
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。340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN4odY0SAmZ
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPOCExjx0ku
「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。340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrUZw8AyWTE
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVdyTaugfIL
「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。340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb77a0khIBn
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6fZWj7adTE
「撕得開來嗎？」杜若看著紫藤有些僵硬的動作，有所顧慮地問。340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQBQOCwiE8F
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHzkG6YjeSH
「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。340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAhibbYT9xV
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQJ3uxeCW7B
「……好了。換膝蓋吧。」340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ3DnRRVlHF
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzMs5g2I5yJ
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。340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWM5NoIFfEc
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp5mkA46Fhq
「我臉上有什麼嗎？」紫藤不解地偏過頭。340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZKUguB5hdt
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyf3BhV8czI
「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：340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzgEdcRdYcM
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSEhGNDgPuq
「只是覺得紫藤認真的模樣……果然好帥喔。」340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNMjthk6nCs
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4b7UH6h6wx
突如其來的稱讚，令紫藤頓時耳根一熱。340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEG9LAWDrrT
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2gUXJEbeCX
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？340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8gsg6zfcEN
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8MDFCdNRZ7
「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：340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPLD1OkqwA1
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmcy9bkhyar
「謝謝……」340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGdDBRobjl1
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD9DLXZJLaF
「嗯？」340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC9MRqDhkzc
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡItsLwFggn9
「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……！」340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcJMziQU709
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSEkNpCTHhI
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。340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQDYGpss4VT
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAL0huqQIbU
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。340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8NcmOFWN94
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo2z2lU7m2W
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。340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLYtBEvvto7
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEidEtxgaQf
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。340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡftmUkEMg5W
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDIOBAJiiOW
「稍微……稍微彎起來一點。」340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWE04CeXHHZ
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0YVEwbBVKj
「這樣？」340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo2BEbaNKR4
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNjDvyLyFzN
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。340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdszocK4kS3
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIpQF1VBk6u
「……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。340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYK8aaWLkeT
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXFpsPCN476
於是紫藤收起醫療用品，起身將箱子放回原位。340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdgM0Q8lIGS
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNh4qnJqPEO
「對了，剛才紫藤提到的事件……」340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu3etwaLXhq
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrmL2sH0z2J
就在要踏出房門的時候，杜若忽然想到了什麼似地開了口。340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqdYoqJdQfj
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2Be08DMrOS
「事件、是倒塌事件嗎？」340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtj2Q4lphNR
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCyiu8NTkgc
「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。340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ00EtjuthoD
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxZepBBo8CV
「怎麼了嗎？」看見杜若的模樣，令紫藤擔心地走了回去。340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQWI5AeueS0
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhg6jtFxqA8
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。340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3Qoxpfi0um
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡerKewiuwob
「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！」340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8Kobq9ryRC
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1XQuKFS6bf
紫藤雖然感到疑惑，卻還是沒有多問地走出了房間。340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡURvxlqA8O7
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfVQiyr3AIc
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。340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNbqgWP5n15
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGvBtR654gO
「我們……好像弄錯順序了耶。」340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7CiFPCWODR
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe0yzQpKegd
「……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。340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgecA3bpn5W
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5wocwxMbOY
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。340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYIKJjqjY5G
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7nzPxIJohq
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。340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEPiVxgc98Z
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcU3tGbVJA6
「紫藤需要我幫忙嗎？」340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnuj9DUbWTt
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkO5uqIGQUW
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。340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkkx91Soxg5
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLpO2WGfmek
「我、我自己來就可以了……」340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBRyVirIW3U
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpQJVNorfwT
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。340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOijKv91gSw
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡByuQzOIZu5
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。340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpKnC6JOq86
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXUyqjWGypi
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。340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhvfzvyv09A
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2ufg38zZMr
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。340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡklIJsOyPiU

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。340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVz90UoayGy
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNSZwhjSLZk
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？340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUbSdfBGQF2
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5Kr3f6QXSg
「……紫藤。」340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5Q4FEz10DM
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7Lwmtdi5lc
「怎麼了？」340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6zWDNe0IWD
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsgec3pjOke
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。340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOpjRuJrrjr
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwoKOW6WApC
「紫藤說、會一直在我身邊……我可以相信紫藤吧？」340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwUwym5zmbA
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6LXaewC2Xp
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。340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHVJKeRLwjT
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6BPAxLR7uI
紫藤伸出手輕蓋在了杜若的後腦，卻沒有辦法就這麼點頭。340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnpSQ0RAPWI
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbi2wuVBSfX
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？340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuVGM1t23uB
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbhv7UQyl8x
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。340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ571JcSPMju
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKJGwoIhXLW
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。340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEGPRrOKXst
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKMmQdBcrwu
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？340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsgOgJ9PoJY
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSmUMv98I0I
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。340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBWFim9vIiA
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj5IYLIS524
不過紫藤現在就在這裡。340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzczfUo5CuL
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡivc6DGEqWT
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。340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxIK5qAHkMN
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEaOi5CN5b6
於是、紫藤探出指頭，用指腹輕貼上了杜若的臉頰。340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeglDUptwSm
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDd4B0oa0eY
「……我會試著做到的。」340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAmJtnPxq6T
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdTDvv8kXbD
「什麼嘛……」聽見這不乾脆的回答，杜若便沒輒地笑了。340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6aAtnI9x6X
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUh5APwclSU
「不過……我相信紫藤喔。」340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAEh3SVUFl9
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡquyEtxb9Pa
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。340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYdPjT8mOIP
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHuawtikCfF
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。340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUlcMaT2Moa
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFrInDonUMl
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。340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsfFEcWcrew
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVx0GruYoNV
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。340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJDl92pOyl5
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMudcnIwbiz
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。340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4Pd1a6sMhs
