迴響的隆隆聲如同夢境般遠去。349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡajZF3tHFh8
349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnXcSlrumyY
從開出的小縫裡，一道狹窄的光切開了無邊無際的黑暗。349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxwOak6zo6x
349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCUoSj82vHJ
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。349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ35WFbUoUtG
349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrPf11FYsDJ
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。349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyT8NvxEa09
349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDUFKF2p41L
連沙華會都靜謐下來，就代表連凌晨也快要結束了吧。349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLBUE3dV4fj
349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzgTy66HIfK
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。349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLLuuKnBWhF
349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtlZgNWGvcz
「走吧。我們一起回去。」349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfhhydpeOYX
349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCFWURq7uMg
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。349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO2ehu2w6Mx
349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOCu4EfbgHc
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。349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNd7f55zo5Y
349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOnwMRmESuN
為了處理傷口，杜若讓紫藤靠到了床板上頭。349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1dIbn3kCOf
349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnN5rhA0nFj
「嗚……！」349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRHyACyY9vr
349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1ZCifMSHg8
消毒藥水碰到傷口的劇痛，讓紫藤吃痛地叫出悶聲。349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK0jHsC2Enw
349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpIO5I3IXtS
「很痛嗎……？」杜若停下動作，擔憂地看向紫藤。349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsay3wJHCui
349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDRwBcZIl8G
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。349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTg6g18hiXc
349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqVMASjxgDK
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。349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5E4bQL8sMc
349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpSjAr4nclo
「……我還可以忍。」說完，紫藤打直手臂。349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbRs9qVbuTj
349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKreL4xJSbP
杜若點點頭，卻宛如做錯了事一般地垂下眼簾。349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLKVR9707w8
349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLD9jsQKJas
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。349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtdRMwZetKU
349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZfHiy1qgbi
「那、再忍耐一下就好。」349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkrQ0VVzJC9
349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdsO3rfbzFQ
「呼、呼……嗚——！」349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZhXtd9LPip
349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMQaGWrysna
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。349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRtOVAOW3PN
349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJVZjEym0E6
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。349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV1ePuIvppG
349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDrJm98Hgzm
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。349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsGZ8GVuTeh
349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlKPZyG4KRx
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。349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0kf3Rq1dkk
349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0jQA4LccaW
「還要喝嗎？」杜若捧著還有一半的水杯，輕柔地問。349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡucEghEcILl
349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0U0YTmfuhM
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。349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFwMjsUkTcS
349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7cBbK5cYPH
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。349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL2QwuOZUf7
349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs3dM2JSGv5
「……謝謝。」349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr8j4pRMdKv
349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQkrS5AjvrN
「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。349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3GdJpBMXNZ
349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHLkFaZiyr7
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。349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡunQMvD4boz
349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzQ8XYUkUWB
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。349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡci44nfTTXd
349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnkoa9tEH1W
不過，這無疑都是事實。349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2vPrTjni39
349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ73C456i5S9
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。349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXjVpYM7nAF
349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBoyq7LILhe
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。349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm14VM2iMi8
349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI346V3Uzcg
「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。349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcTbCWRDffe
349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdDNT2jcZmo
沉默了半晌，紫藤才慢慢地開口。349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUhVIKmAYFw
349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcPLfydT09P
「是我媽媽的遺物。」349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVEQRvJq8HS
349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡevDz9CBfHe
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。349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDheWE2igpo
349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGrFKd3y5Nq
「咦……？那為什麼會在墨駒的手裡呀？」杜若不假思索地問道。349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYPvoHSYvLn
349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtwkZQs6aNS
「我也不知道。」紫藤搖搖頭，黯然地闔上雙眼。349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6dPCxaH9GN
349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrrWiUOmAuv
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。349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVDdUA1tQtx
349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFX1m8PPAL3
「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：349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQKcQlKVu48
349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBu5soksvu3
「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。」349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAa1m69Zf6s
349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBEal1oKMzN
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。349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJeCv86R9OR
349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAwK0dKRbgk
「這就是那時候、他們從媽媽的身上搶走的東西之一。」349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7Uwcw7cUyG
349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7pdH8oCUgk
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。349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6XdOUACto1
349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhC4Dfts0Ij
從那時起，濺在臉上的那朵紅花就已經在紫藤的心頭生根。349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcwMwdhiXf4
349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3Fq2HjsQ8t
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。349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8MXbYBhX8s
349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjj2EUixPX0
「原來……這是對紫藤來說這麼重要的東西啊。」349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaYI141NREx
349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnHRh3RJjDj
「嗯。」紫藤在胸前連同戒指握緊了拳頭。349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxCEnlYPetR
349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBHhaohwEwE
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。349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx4sGIzS7oa
349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIcZZjPrMre
自己已經不想要再失去任何東西了。349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuqmBefCblZ
349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfsEXGLCVDK
「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。349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMhQXKNCpUn
349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9NDHRJmxeP
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。349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqKUcT6i6VB
349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdxeIu00X4u
「媽媽他——」349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsz75wq1m59
349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6wWt2sDARG
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。349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlrCpQB0Xkr
349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQz3s9To100
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」。349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmFLCOjd9g7
349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMy8VyjGna6
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。349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjGHAQRBPQp
349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYcUWCoRzU7
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。349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhXbsYPkyZU
349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ39Row28GKF
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。349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTl6MsNaEmz
349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTxB4yxyjkG
但紫藤一點都不喜歡學校。349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn89qXOOK0f
349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEdPtowHhBH
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。349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqphPK12hDS
349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9NjEsEVZnS
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。349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbpVNGYGxVT
349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6JzlXq2xVp
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。349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWuqs2w8YLC
349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOgBbLJh5If
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。349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLCBlGk1OA3
349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcBbPzjmrHm
嗯，這樣就夠了。那時的紫藤只有這麼單純的滿足。349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡisoAoqBslV
349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNgncV72XOu
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。349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCxj1NjSYJI
349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu3f17uKy78
那是一起倒塌事件。349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVYhJOOBXmc
349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOctzqyXyHM
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。349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAxYl3hKZcP
349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXQz4EqrCm9
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。349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiscAg84uv0
349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK1oh8AkDoB
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。349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUgETeMc7TG
349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXHzyCvScdg
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。349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd8vaxTOA26
349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡViDX2T6VlK
「……我會找到給墨駒這個戒指的人。」349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGTBx9ZozOy
349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLVQ8WYprsE
收起回憶，紫藤再次握緊了戒指。349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqkKLHj4nru
349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMqwpQ3fEi7
「然後，殺了他。」349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDwh3L9iRSP
349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXY4Qce4ZPz
紫藤的眼神猶如熾火，沒有一分一毫的搖曳。349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK2PnALEUsv
349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOj5DAhDSwx
但只不過幾秒，便很快地萎靡了下來。349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaDMcGpKrpB
349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG6l15Bj0VF
「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。」349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuCR0Q78ct7
349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIUMkGCyBxS
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。349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIEJxKQt4ee
349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjprJ5ijyjh
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。349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKHH73JIbjh
349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT6Xw1ygNkw
「原來、這就是紫藤想要跟我一起行動的原因呀。」349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOW7JIFnTUj
349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFxYSrehIu7
「……嗯。」349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZcQJiZx88B
349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiARCHDxvAU
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。349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxuDnWD4906
349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhdHdjKbnqt
紫藤深信，這就是自己向那些骯髒禽獸復仇的楔子。349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9zJgZsevwh
349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKiXASltMSt
這就是足以斬斷自己心頭那朵紅花的白刃。349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRRC4HW4tvz
349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzXsGt4dhfC
「……杜若妳呢？」349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrZYLC54FPM
349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK7bbtwSArc
紫藤拾起快要滿溢的情感，回望了杜若那如新月般的雙眸。349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtf6NABQRGJ
349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhzGk3T3rTE
「又是為什麼……會開始當殺手？」349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhSKpLzZylA
349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp28vtm1LjI
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。349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkivxWK5utc
349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIxCRlG9Qxw
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。349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡERv6Gi4tHN
349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy295cFqEko
「紫藤……不會生氣吧？」349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHyywZPJtIb
349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy3p5DXB9Aa
杜若果然還在意著那時自己的衝動。349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ09tHOxMsWG
349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX9Q8VpUL9J
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。349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhY2ecv4LiY
349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBuQekTHVXI
「不會。」紫藤堅定地說：「我保證。」349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVk64REnx3T
349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfr18YBi807
等到紫藤緩緩收起手後，杜若才按著胸口，下定決心地開口。349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ61KmZrxeI
349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGkVw6l534d
「……我想要救陶壺叔。」349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrNpz5nTxdh
349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS95n65uDZI
杜若喃喃吐出的回答令紫藤感到十分意外。349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQHOOBieTFS
349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqwtOmFPMy6
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？349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡks1ODv5ReS
349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ38eFlURWxr
就好像發現了紫藤的疑惑，杜若幽幽地繼續說道：349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVRU9xQvPAe
349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8Sk6ehDtbw
「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。」349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE1SwFRtDOe
349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4HeqglpVYA
全身慢慢就會不能動的病？349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKQu5wp7BbR
349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡft4MeUkgep
這種病紫藤是頭一次聽見。349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf8RadLuWHn
349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDayhXxlTpj
「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。」349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz55h3hkduO
349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEWqWefRMqm
「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。349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMvqP6GCQan
349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0MbhR93Rky
「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。」349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAjQpFwFISa
349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlAgFfdZEiG
杜若的笑只看得見無力。349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPpOcpg5IJN
349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRz8LpceJzJ
「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。」349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWhvwb9yLlg
349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBBaVGKC28d
到這裡，杜若便沒有繼續說下去了。349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8C94ZrnSoU
349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVMf00QfHOx
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。349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkunw6kEou2
349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpRRMKbfHUE
然而，紫藤卻忍不住想要質疑的念頭。349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW37EntqhNB
349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh5tmWgEHR3
「那個狐狸、真的就這麼值得相信嗎？」349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCoFNbmi7cA
349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFlmJ9CyLgw
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。349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGUjwMTEgvc
349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLFd9ieKQIP
「……狐狸一直都對我很好呀。」349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIzjqkonsld
349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMWJokFW3Eg
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。349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8BgXz8ufTv
349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoDGpSDhgWn
「所以，我還是相信狐狸。」349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgN9wYJGQmE
349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXpn901Vmdc
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。349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTRM6eVYjWk
349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9EKBhVnAF7
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。349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZPprx6uR1o
349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPEVecfdZm9
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。349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaAQeXjsMny
349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4iETqrUKSJ
哪怕、就算那道光芒是朝自己射出的子彈也一樣。349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtoCPlwpsD0
349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSafUNQOUXZ
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？349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaC99EDTC03

這怎麼可能。349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFLwDzt4fKw
349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhd8IVkgBzz
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。349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH4tzYRTwFt
349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5oNrcx4MqZ
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。349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBrMz5n1vT3
349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhUmJj4o5E1
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。349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2kh78NSmIq
349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtn6gZvDlEC
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。349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA15uMaKRLV
349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHBmOeXQhVq
察覺到掌心的柔軟，杜若看著紫藤靦腆地一笑。349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQr8tRoB2cu
349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFH4d9DQ72k
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349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvRA6IlGfsU
349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5FYRvWQwZQ
「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。349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCAyBu4yOkJ
349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc4Gc8rJG7r
「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！」349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcRaniIRfP1
349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ7nZBxofHY
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。349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd9e5YgKlJF
349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ0QJWiw0RN
「不過，果然還是不能夠靠沙華會的人呢。」349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr1TgAg6lyc
349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcT5ESE8fTv
經過剛才被反擊的經驗，讓兩人都對這點有了更多的共識。349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡESCTWBtQiz
349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ35YkZmC0LU
說了句「話說回來」後，杜若就一轉話鋒、向紫藤問道：349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcIUXL1m08Q
349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqzc762PE6J
「紫藤想要殺掉的人又是誰呀？紫藤還記得嗎？」349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNWyfbBpwHT
349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt2qWbmn0NG
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。349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvtYck63SHP
349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqzLwrex9Ok
「是一個……在脖子後面紋著白色線條的沙華會紋身的人。」349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEWxbp7Mt86
349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO8tuldtYhx
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。349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwfQIDukE8b
349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYJEY5WtOcp
「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。」349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDAUKcYgLX2
349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdGyjwrnq6D
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。349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMsMGFRs9OS
349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1zG5R0mZ96
「這樣的話，我也來幫忙吧！」杜若自告奮勇地舉高手：349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiXxn8HmqX6
349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSOClWbcWJT
「兩個人一起找絕對比較快的！」349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcmk6oszUGO
349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSzklZzunam
杜若的模樣、讓紫藤晚了一步才發現自己說錯了話。349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb6V9fGZOqD
349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI6lf9zphGw
紫藤默默地低下頭、沉聲回答。349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx6TFtKzAKc
349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj6w9Wz2jJa
「……不用那樣。我……我自己就夠了。」349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHOor3IxIBA
349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrwMQrhzmdh
這冷淡的回答讓杜若頓時像被潑了水的貓咪似地一愣。349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxfQkY8gDLM
349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9tLPDi1uXl
「可是、紫藤不是說到現在都……」349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUQ6KC90yqB
349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtXoW7E1DD0
「這本來就是我自己的事。」349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYZ7Ohxb6yU
349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjuOHkTfhyt
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。349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9GS3JoQM70
349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGcq4SWTio0
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。349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpDNVvj0uSL
349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQkdX2bQLCh
「那要是紫藤遇到危險怎麼辦！」倏地，杜若站起身、提高音量349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK2CfDiJ7ai
349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHtZeIAZIDO
「我就是為了保護自己，才會去學習要怎麼搏鬥。」349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8WsjJbRVcc
349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ79FZTWQUAp
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。349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnvWQbQtO2z
349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKAjAO5QeG8
「可是、假如對方有槍、假如遇到像今天一樣的事……」349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM4jOzOwfiZ
349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXY51RZLQcJ
「我是不會讓自己被殺死的。」349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2sUKc5vCIB
349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK7zCvWlRNX
「紫藤明明就傷成這樣、還說這種話……！」349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOSUw1SSc3a
349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl2RoNQgen7
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。349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtOkAnzhlT6
349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmDdpYl24mb
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。349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1u0RCbjdcc
349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnXXCdRgina
杜若雖然想甩開，但卻在一半就失去了力氣。349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRFQI0a1ylA
349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuxRXzkmysc
「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……」349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTeeWX2zh6U
349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy5TbfoCrsQ
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。349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDWcv7J9iX1
349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtUCsOD3CAE
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？349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaFNahB4oX5
349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBOrVLFZXDY
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。349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTa9A7f9dRr
349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjBGt2l6LE1
最後，紫藤還是用了奸詐的說法。349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDGnsB48ez4
349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdlgLuPyA7N
「我跟陶壺叔約定過，說不會讓妳受傷了。」349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡawMWTERdJz
349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1F9EyqS7fG
「那難道紫藤要我看著妳受傷嗎？」349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYf9jo9UcGQ
349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbK3pSIA7VT
雖然夾雜著鼻音、但這句話卻如此強而有力。349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbSkuc20ZnO
349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnmarkFUHiK
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。349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb3GysRLVIj
349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRIlzESO0Vu
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。349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡypvu1Yn8hV
349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2GXLRvyjbh
而紫藤打算再在杜若的身上再添一層相同的痛苦嗎？349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoElCqZYGVG
349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgbSUPiIYpE
紫藤無法回答，只是沉默地別開了視線。349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpeXghDmTWU
349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3oAcAlEGGj
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？349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTyn5RZGqWb
349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyOPPyXY3JJ
哪條路都是崎嶇，哪條路也都是痛苦。349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0nacLGjjDu
349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoarPBS9de4
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？349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFixonKs2jx
349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcZa315yPrk
只因為就連接受也是痛苦吧。349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ29RLYn2unm
349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4Fx0QIhJgZ
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？349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi5bSXc4gKF
349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3BDZdVALOL
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。349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6pXPYwnCS7
349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡptvVW9NEyj
思及至此，紫藤才慢慢地放鬆了手中的力道。349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxfGcPUw0xY
349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnV4e3K2WHW
「答應我、要先保護好妳自己。」349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjLCIpiQiDB
349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwGJK9HUZXb
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。349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLcNPqx8IhR
349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB0fNfgULOH
「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。349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6mGpWdMYHi
349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAxXQkUbMu2
「所以，我的份就用來保護紫藤吧！」349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzshHJtuiZq
349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbXOe7RbGgU
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。349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxS2QjjoEOv
349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtAa6rnKfHe
「喔喔！紫藤笑了耶！」349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE8hPAXf8NW
349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5j0dZC8Ky5
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。349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt8YQ0EcdqG
349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWCn2EPyVrZ
「哇啊啊——！對不起！」杜若立刻慌張地放下手來。349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKu0r3t7CNI
349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5ito2B80aM
疼痛雖然還沒散去，但紫藤還是發自內心地笑了。349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWtrJ8lTL1L
349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkbRhRaw4Pb
「……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？」349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4L5Ln3BsnY
349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPi25dUbL6b
「咦？」這提議讓紫藤也感到意外地眨了眨眼。349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNRcSxZPLyl
349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRCTHifCB88
「雖然是我自己猜的……不過狐狸應該很擅長找人吧。」349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVB8ZD8Iaqh
349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoYyq7pnJWK
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。349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS7y7Q9GKj7
349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnj1LqJWcHx
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。349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2bVWFe1xu6
349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN3Gid7MK4X
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。349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZoP6P6kCtN
349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8TDa31PGMM
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？349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc7Pd4yfONV
349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP8LhaDN4kF
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？349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNigNeIj3yF
349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhZRcGEyTgy
「那……可以幫我跟狐狸說說看嗎？」349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡws8XcWYSWP
349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJDg8H8E2QX
「當然呀，這是我提議的嘛～」杜若自信地抱起手臂、挺起胸膛。349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6W9lySuBis
349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL4UZtppjQG
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。349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡerKE2SOstS
349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHQhlwrSM8A
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。349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqWOIqAcngr
349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtsIv4CWCmO
「妳的傷……換我幫妳吧。」349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNkVai01mMh
349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQfYjIzrIWq
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。349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVCdWGEshtr
349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj1GCP1AfQ5
「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。349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiBQbSM2U6X
349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5g4xxONbw2
「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。349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAMnldJZyYw
349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrWIZuL7H8e
「撕得開來嗎？」杜若看著紫藤有些僵硬的動作，有所顧慮地問。349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO8B7HvqttI
349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvRT71BHt6L
「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。349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5m6pUsIXKS
349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnRgZD0WcBd
「……好了。換膝蓋吧。」349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsht29DcFdb
349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1hvSWIb32E
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。349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDUksqXASrQ
349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDcbh2b5AXc
「我臉上有什麼嗎？」紫藤不解地偏過頭。349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡapkJ9zHlSj
349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpMEJ87D06T
「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：349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAD4saFHKJv
349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVk6n0Jd2FC
「只是覺得紫藤認真的模樣……果然好帥喔。」349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoGB6MaqR4H
349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJZpacaOzEK
突如其來的稱讚，令紫藤頓時耳根一熱。349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpsSH7ufPaZ
349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhFw2DlGxzU
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？349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ325kXBCgMK
349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWjkAUxUx7S
「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：349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7xGTnI8wBM
349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOR0XlLX5ME
「謝謝……」349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVEDYkpVpeq
349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS0RJz3MuIA
「嗯？」349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK2BszGYwja
349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPfmaIDNjEO
「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……！」349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB0x1Z9d6Mn
349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGqSACC7L2K
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。349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5E3gMzMrS8
349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR0NetLQkIC
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。349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFVD82hmRxq
349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOcrOMW4NUp
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。349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAMOm05yDwG
349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsGx5WeOdKB
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。349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFJAI3tbKfg
349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXiTS0D4dx3
「稍微……稍微彎起來一點。」349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ57Qt1CJXsj
349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV1DgwC8UlS
「這樣？」349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3DMyM1QULN
349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNs6lJaIQYd
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。349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTqrm34VpAh
349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIv41naTOeY
「……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。349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2oydvG04ti
349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmVHFYbU9Qm
於是紫藤收起醫療用品，起身將箱子放回原位。349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8L6f2fIFPR
349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuLyTHVgfsu
「對了，剛才紫藤提到的事件……」349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrn6V2XFElH
349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLVwIWG57Ka
就在要踏出房門的時候，杜若忽然想到了什麼似地開了口。349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsbY6W2PGpP
349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9YuIWTioiC
「事件、是倒塌事件嗎？」349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5XN1y8V05D
349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJYKmZXSr8C
「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。349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYuG5NQ6v1J
349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCvcQ6ZWIPM
「怎麼了嗎？」看見杜若的模樣，令紫藤擔心地走了回去。349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKwvTMqylLZ
349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3HfjjDBeah
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。349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRdx1abl2YG
349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡliyEHpalim
「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！」349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP3Zqyvjbx4
349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNRMITHNMPW
紫藤雖然感到疑惑，卻還是沒有多問地走出了房間。349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmHNAAuh58T
349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOH2slw7Rv7
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。349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7sastVCHdV
349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡthqIGwXEPN
「我們……好像弄錯順序了耶。」349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJemmbgC9Ry
349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKIkdguCLTB
「……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。349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0cryno0Cfc
349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7WxUhKfCPG
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。349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx9AbkgMPgK
349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8LchxdY7Bi
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。349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAiJbV4Ph20
349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyW4LfaoWZg
「紫藤需要我幫忙嗎？」349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzsgyIV3rO4
349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡygukeHfztp
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。349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0dL46STkqL
349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKBcKWB8swz
「我、我自己來就可以了……」349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTtoNjXwKmU
349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0FmTB477aD
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。349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdQH0rpXN5a
349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcaApWNwxLx
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。349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxLsKxWRdCf
349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrcnBI1tWfM
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。349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV7cnKpYwn8
349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHwOT9ZKCWg
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。349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHNXmFdSn7g
349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2ktcLKpqd9
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。349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUrLUf5sUJu
349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUx5NclfKtd
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？349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ09MVmKCx6O

「……紫藤。」349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE1UgpqTqd9
349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4oh0E9chcr
「怎麼了？」349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoTMzlIAgO7
349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHhxhXn08IQ
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。349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAzQoyfZnX7
349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzfzrwSajy3
「紫藤說、會一直在我身邊……我可以相信紫藤吧？」349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoUB1alikBw
349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaUddOJ1GOO
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。349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDvGKLWVz4Q
349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ8YHqNgFR5
紫藤伸出手輕蓋在了杜若的後腦，卻沒有辦法就這麼點頭。349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhnCpIcmbV7
349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiChKXVnuTe
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？349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtGAOG6OMYR
349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwbYFSqM59q
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。349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ3zN5AKf2c
349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqtPV7cw9fi
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。349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTMSqJ5xCHU
349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYLNvolT55H
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？349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx4yoq7tlbs
349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTJrQQJFIPI
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。349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh2ho1K0l03
349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsVyahDU004
不過紫藤現在就在這裡。349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ99oCEVyInp
349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaJSKOaARhJ
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。349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFPUPmyu9ez
349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjL9bTqtlEe
於是、紫藤探出指頭，用指腹輕貼上了杜若的臉頰。349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1usl7tml7o
349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡagBdt20DIu
「……我會試著做到的。」349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLFzHzjl5te
349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpsgg19TpZk
「什麼嘛……」聽見這不乾脆的回答，杜若便沒輒地笑了。349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxaEmdtiMLR
349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS2A8ADbDv1
「不過……我相信紫藤喔。」349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYHn4wtANm4
349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBcQGySMHNA
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。349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP1Zy3GnORw
349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdjh6AMb0dY
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。349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgKUOZCNR72
349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX8lADFybwr
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。349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKbqRyeGAsM
349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwdcORbqsAh
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。349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEYDnpSPGm0
349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLfcqeftOnM
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。349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgDYeM6ba0N
