迴響的隆隆聲如同夢境般遠去。453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLbMZAhRE5K
453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjkVA9GVraK
從開出的小縫裡，一道狹窄的光切開了無邊無際的黑暗。453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbqAEmPX82C
453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIyK3R8SG6B
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。453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtWwxe5dtRB
453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSBmT9atZ9o
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。453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEXtufUCoHL
453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFFGZXqhm1r
連沙華會都靜謐下來，就代表連凌晨也快要結束了吧。453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAIelSGGPh3
453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq4iNNwccst
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。453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgJeuUWSpC4
453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBPSxJ5kEYN
「走吧。我們一起回去。」453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQNd0JWLlxo
453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcuwUv5iWTp
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。453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFEZrpn2Dhw
453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtFfmp50DFm
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。453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnXZ8mdaXwt
453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFfpiD5sCAv
為了處理傷口，杜若讓紫藤靠到了床板上頭。453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcl0qNwAQsJ
453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBnmbq3l5TP
「嗚……！」453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡws8Cgwa6Ve
453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ78ieIeoxyT
消毒藥水碰到傷口的劇痛，讓紫藤吃痛地叫出悶聲。453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4Buo1YZhYD
453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2XnMo7Dc7k
「很痛嗎……？」杜若停下動作，擔憂地看向紫藤。453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV3STUwhOf0
453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3tCV7HbRin
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。453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfaeRojoqcQ
453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUG5XiBMZbP
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。453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8VYLhixPJC
453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQRXOco3Qhf
「……我還可以忍。」說完，紫藤打直手臂。453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzby4u4OeQd
453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMhboHIWLMX
杜若點點頭，卻宛如做錯了事一般地垂下眼簾。453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGN78GJrEil
453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNNPhhUDsNe
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。453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlf56kxifBE
453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq1sQ8Oy4HP
「那、再忍耐一下就好。」453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVuvsPuWUjr
453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFhMpnyreWT
「呼、呼……嗚——！」453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdqnpDftmde
453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBQseQBXJSu
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。453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn9kyidPNUh
453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHFOtokrDqY
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。453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1xY3076MpK
453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1MkNzKcIEm
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。453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq4VjIl325Z
453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0rv6kjCpp3
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。453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuhsHCu5AxD
453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS7Sg1DmoF2
「還要喝嗎？」杜若捧著還有一半的水杯，輕柔地問。453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUOShwUrz9s
453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ07Pu2ti2QP
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。453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNC4oyhvtse
453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB68A3NTEFf
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。453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6RDqERBnNQ
453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRF5IEiC09I
「……謝謝。」453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZqwHvPOEMU
453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa8ZG70ip9y
「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。453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7uanujkb7R
453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyjR39i23Bi
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。453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQLk1B4OwXE
453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBH1DQFWDxq
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。453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGegNM6edhq
453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ65Zrj7nPvZ
不過，這無疑都是事實。453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtsFCQQfHDN
453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡupCbUoEF0a
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。453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlM7YBYxDBh
453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8P93NlWnio
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。453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPrLBh4cUqD
453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjL9dGINYqx
「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。453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4Op2pnVpYE
453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5In76CXkpH
沉默了半晌，紫藤才慢慢地開口。453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2yu5SegAFN
453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqq5voaigv4
「是我媽媽的遺物。」453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAskdokeM2U
453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnMSu0Y0xfx
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。453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡddnn3BVqxd
453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxbcpAiU5d0
「咦……？那為什麼會在墨駒的手裡呀？」杜若不假思索地問道。453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIVdBrHKnsS
453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQFwgtAc7ZA
「我也不知道。」紫藤搖搖頭，黯然地闔上雙眼。453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6Yx0m4whn4
453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO2DiLa3Uae
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。453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNFZY001lzi
453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzZGBsxLfX1
「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：453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1aIfOLNQWc
453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJu90xcrBsV
「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。」453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2x7GxhXZow
453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQGRg1DHJvk
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。453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp4iokoQO0N
453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBdja4PFCJx
「這就是那時候、他們從媽媽的身上搶走的東西之一。」453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbGqw4odeRO
453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFg8HYtvQd4
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。453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCdgmbmxqPU
453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRvPqHSTluQ
從那時起，濺在臉上的那朵紅花就已經在紫藤的心頭生根。453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRdkWXuK8e0
453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyHgXyCNr54
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。453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCIvCj5DtsL
453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHdfgYm28W2
「原來……這是對紫藤來說這麼重要的東西啊。」453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeinKWBQu2l
453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqzfc4XWUvf
「嗯。」紫藤在胸前連同戒指握緊了拳頭。453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCiHyGfFasC
453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIZdBvlXuAv
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。453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOBtKGcz0MG
453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡle0HniANsR
自己已經不想要再失去任何東西了。453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh0xS8p2TGD
453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7Vz4W8DVP5
「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。453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3lMIsPVy14
453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrmrpJGKueF
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。453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjSUy5Erb3K
453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC9wJw1voI8
「媽媽他——」453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpwMCe8bgpG
453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPMqsJn8eUm
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。453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwa9Y1zMs27
453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmo9q4E3kr6
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」。453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAGP3tbVQ8e
453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVyEL83PZqG
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。453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9wmEnDypS6
453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnhQGdxMMWl
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。453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnADAtQnZeg
453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2PDGubKpg0
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。453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKLHCfRlhOU
453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM122HZskcL
但紫藤一點都不喜歡學校。453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJK20LRja7R
453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0V5MqQjo8O
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。453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj3vXGi10rl
453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWI6oX58tDs
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。453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnyihN3gRDC
453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpUEoFxy4ne
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。453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiKnK0L5wqx
453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLbZztPK8Zk
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。453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsooQmT7hCJ
453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf0XydN6DcJ
嗯，這樣就夠了。那時的紫藤只有這麼單純的滿足。453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSZlwd0j96f
453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtoZACVfuar
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。453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa11A8Ye0gX
453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtyO3r2dSo9
那是一起倒塌事件。453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0yJZvOgoMl
453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZJnFXB1niL
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。453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8bMM8jWnQH
453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2iQmVRuKGU
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。453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSVAzngUZ7c
453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS303pV0kuW
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。453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1vHRKPI48x
453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmGuQfcj446
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。453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4oZHV0FirH
453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7CODG2zM2p
「……我會找到給墨駒這個戒指的人。」453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgUyJ69govo
453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5kVTdvJusa
收起回憶，紫藤再次握緊了戒指。453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRa380VdxB5
453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp5EOCjQomz
「然後，殺了他。」453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU3yoznHNep
453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡConP7Fumiv
紫藤的眼神猶如熾火，沒有一分一毫的搖曳。453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMOClDAEuE0
453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgPBXz72Ryw
但只不過幾秒，便很快地萎靡了下來。453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO3kqiQFd6Y
453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4X9UsLBtVc
「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。」453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMsar5oivD3
453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpXimQA8W7H
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。453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTFvSZ0VYk3
453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjWUhF5lrV0
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。453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW68QKx8Bej
453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpGDM2Vb0K6
「原來、這就是紫藤想要跟我一起行動的原因呀。」453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOtGalpyU1X
453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtO0C6FXda3
「……嗯。」453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡynzCT9IaMV
453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzDCgLTxoGy
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。453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTR86AvXTFk
453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqXRWHGVzeS
紫藤深信，這就是自己向那些骯髒禽獸復仇的楔子。453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZyhbLfPtu6
453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4yfbfWBlMx
這就是足以斬斷自己心頭那朵紅花的白刃。453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ76OvLiAZVE
453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUmJ4bCtI1D
「……杜若妳呢？」453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7Ur9LWMRMo
453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ30X1KJXkRT
紫藤拾起快要滿溢的情感，回望了杜若那如新月般的雙眸。453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJEWNRL4u3k
453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHRVM0ihsgJ
「又是為什麼……會開始當殺手？」453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1q0cMoTBRT
453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCwky37G2hb
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。453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb5cwdlRYn4
453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8d4F7PMeVV
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。453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAyCu06ZRFC
453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVqpSoVBjl2
「紫藤……不會生氣吧？」453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIadijDNJJo
453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQmma4ISjeE
杜若果然還在意著那時自己的衝動。453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj4cYAZgwBf
453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXSd4FDSwRo
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。453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡArlurx5wJQ
453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQxrFjXMQfO
「不會。」紫藤堅定地說：「我保證。」453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCZudbwEjW4
453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJaTXpxbsx5
等到紫藤緩緩收起手後，杜若才按著胸口，下定決心地開口。453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsbIDrCNT5O
453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRPzrT44AIj
「……我想要救陶壺叔。」453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFznewyn9lG
453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMlfS5otjXE
杜若喃喃吐出的回答令紫藤感到十分意外。453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzX1L7UD39U
453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxAfxQ8SSAx
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？453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBYLLIY11ij
453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpk8LVHl6PB
就好像發現了紫藤的疑惑，杜若幽幽地繼續說道：453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE3Asdb6HPt
453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx7ewHoXTFz
「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。」453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaiIfZL8Bxv
453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkWdvrIPiJd
全身慢慢就會不能動的病？453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPO6YQmOR0i
453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtZwcOciiqJ
這種病紫藤是頭一次聽見。453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSibR4cK8pW
453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpgxIk0NyIf
「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。」453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHrGPKz43Qf
453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡittdOAqvlP
「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。453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM4KAqW048e
453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZCWSCfnKLo
「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。」453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0dKGnDvZyt
453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQTINg8NJqN
杜若的笑只看得見無力。453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtPgTy1kf3M
453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyR9X0DOX5I
「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。」453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2AsRZCMVTQ
453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0NMZA48BiO
到這裡，杜若便沒有繼續說下去了。453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUl9TjD1AAZ
453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwXN4ToCtUR
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。453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFFetTyzorB
453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb03XQCtEkm
然而，紫藤卻忍不住想要質疑的念頭。453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK5A4hPtxEH
453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCryNTRcWjx
「那個狐狸、真的就這麼值得相信嗎？」453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn23udupZJM
453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIA5nj70NY7
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。453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEC2bZ8WmYI
453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF6x6H2YA9i
「……狐狸一直都對我很好呀。」453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQCP7CW4lo7
453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0ID9qrEGat
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。453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjLAZUKiD8t
453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaVOoFRlHug
「所以，我還是相信狐狸。」453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJqYsa1bplY
453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZOofVDM7jG
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。453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5yUt7HG0v8
453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMqA2Vx1ECp
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。453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2wo39OfWZl
453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnkYa4id2FU
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。453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxPivAaKOgF
453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCPZe6twCg5
哪怕、就算那道光芒是朝自己射出的子彈也一樣。453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpEpC16mpyB
453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR92SSDIx2Z
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？453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPmM2c0LqIw

這怎麼可能。453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvXPykdGDgL
453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZtRcOnvdFu
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。453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU9PJxwASvB
453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ16U44ZCavV
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。453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN8XbjBCmaE
453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPPBLIQVPRz
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。453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqzyyNo9nQ7
453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwcwkgyLdcl
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。453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO4ML7H9xtC
453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeg8vHS5Uy6
察覺到掌心的柔軟，杜若看著紫藤靦腆地一笑。453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX6X6QXcCRO
453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa6spy3esE5
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453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6QrgIQEhZa
453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaA5RNDG3Q9
「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。453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsycmUpMfCL
453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7I2f8x3RVx
「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！」453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbw1tgxEuw3
453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFq0MFPbWwW
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。453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZkyzR50COk
453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5ieN4DpDFL
「不過，果然還是不能夠靠沙華會的人呢。」453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡula1Ztsk7u
453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIHibpqujH5
經過剛才被反擊的經驗，讓兩人都對這點有了更多的共識。453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo8eGsvZm2f
453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2j1nEr7S0s
說了句「話說回來」後，杜若就一轉話鋒、向紫藤問道：453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡErG3ps0kx6
453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUhpT418FzK
「紫藤想要殺掉的人又是誰呀？紫藤還記得嗎？」453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ678RRmZDe7
453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlNNfqoCI9A
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。453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZgt7XYsJSL
453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWrascPSbmr
「是一個……在脖子後面紋著白色線條的沙華會紋身的人。」453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrJ1u95oNjn
453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIjGqBxiEwt
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。453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ14l2vrLFqm
453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡErWT9YvmKw
「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。」453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHG3xVHfBAe
453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrY3dSWmEwY
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。453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ88E05ChLjN
453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc7ru7I0erE
「這樣的話，我也來幫忙吧！」杜若自告奮勇地舉高手：453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOMMAxiY2af
453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUVNmAI3ule
「兩個人一起找絕對比較快的！」453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGoPbbWlrnY
453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5lzwWJVELY
杜若的模樣、讓紫藤晚了一步才發現自己說錯了話。453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLcfeSNUoeZ
453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3mGq9hqv9b
紫藤默默地低下頭、沉聲回答。453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpmUjpRcsKC
453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6XDf3kXoXR
「……不用那樣。我……我自己就夠了。」453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp8AeOz9eMy
453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl6ZlFD6P15
這冷淡的回答讓杜若頓時像被潑了水的貓咪似地一愣。453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzJzUe6TKKk
453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHxNcjRvEc3
「可是、紫藤不是說到現在都……」453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI9Bl6HJxde
453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBy4QkTAlgr
「這本來就是我自己的事。」453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR1wqoDlCcR
453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj2dak8HQRK
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。453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBtPR89EZht
453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5sx9O8JWaY
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。453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtysxqaAzCs
453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfRCfFQZ3VG
「那要是紫藤遇到危險怎麼辦！」倏地，杜若站起身、提高音量453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZOQMVyI9VN
453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCdqMtmmofs
「我就是為了保護自己，才會去學習要怎麼搏鬥。」453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR69V7470WE
453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq0ol3vDqoT
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。453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeVe9caAK3L
453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR216gbhRUu
「可是、假如對方有槍、假如遇到像今天一樣的事……」453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu3psKEXP7W
453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy6FiKPUVJv
「我是不會讓自己被殺死的。」453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1ZwdHS8oPf
453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW7P3EXQrVM
「紫藤明明就傷成這樣、還說這種話……！」453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLkC1S5hFSz
453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4R9IiiEyVz
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。453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡocV6D39xPC
453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡznB221WlAm
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。453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0OTRw62b1R
453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMauhZSBCId
杜若雖然想甩開，但卻在一半就失去了力氣。453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡklQpJxnhVm
453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ37o7k20kQV
「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……」453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA9XfTZS79i
453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSuO0EjZb8i
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。453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGkzZ49C4ys
453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfwT9HyqvhV
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？453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYMNsR0KZy3
453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPf3nwp43JM
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。453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOwJhalNvKf
453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5DIHrB0MPf
最後，紫藤還是用了奸詐的說法。453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqtajcUDp3g
453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEoWJxJ3Eb7
「我跟陶壺叔約定過，說不會讓妳受傷了。」453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYUddKiY7pY
453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY7Mob7fGxz
「那難道紫藤要我看著妳受傷嗎？」453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSQAZ8NQ0MJ
453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpi8Wcmjnp9
雖然夾雜著鼻音、但這句話卻如此強而有力。453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6799RgKENz
453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBrCzSbZtgU
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。453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyiQviIMPLe
453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhuLcdYgjJO
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。453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmHB44K5OH2
453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi3gobripAm
而紫藤打算再在杜若的身上再添一層相同的痛苦嗎？453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhfHehByT0w
453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXYgftJgT5S
紫藤無法回答，只是沉默地別開了視線。453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZlFt77VS6H
453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1S5y7ZRv6x
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？453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqvHBK3BgKq
453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLz4dYZjHqW
哪條路都是崎嶇，哪條路也都是痛苦。453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIYCg2aYmTy
453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwoapnleIsV
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？453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiBWcdpTW1k
453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiFsX1HYEBZ
只因為就連接受也是痛苦吧。453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbJc2sZOSHo
453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhVny4L0Ygn
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？453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuXqZkhCF2H
453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV9HdWOYaLB
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。453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFuTe11ebvb
453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡARBpTcSIwV
思及至此，紫藤才慢慢地放鬆了手中的力道。453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe6ExdGKvYE
453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTHD7Tgihv1
「答應我、要先保護好妳自己。」453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ95nFjxarjj
453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgT2e33nyED
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。453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGrirxqzIde
453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlu0qf3G5dJ
「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。453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOAKVrGBRgP
453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn8yUFvFLOj
「所以，我的份就用來保護紫藤吧！」453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTPEnyRB2fy
453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoK5PuElVQY
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。453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpg8fYWBDUh
453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx8tLgrzz0I
「喔喔！紫藤笑了耶！」453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQFhL1XXZWZ
453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8YzmsEQqi0
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。453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡePyTIR68go
453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKt18SCepLt
「哇啊啊——！對不起！」杜若立刻慌張地放下手來。453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8KwrJcznOV
453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxp7H21EjeD
疼痛雖然還沒散去，但紫藤還是發自內心地笑了。453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMqVBW9nn5J
453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAJ0F74FTT6
「……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？」453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVgAwBGagn0
453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXnd0sUk8oY
「咦？」這提議讓紫藤也感到意外地眨了眨眼。453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtK5qY5d31O
453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡll3xBrRBjh
「雖然是我自己猜的……不過狐狸應該很擅長找人吧。」453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd2u8Fk2KrM
453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd5vVQqLRIe
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。453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPeyj6jOfKb
453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWf3b80FrI6
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。453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYYtbQYygfZ
453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEa0bssLLRu
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。453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVEuet3RDSg
453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5taCxP4rhM
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？453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCF1uczAXSB
453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP2JV2Sjs7g
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？453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeL4mBB0vdr
453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0kvJ5HcZca
「那……可以幫我跟狐狸說說看嗎？」453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhX7WyNQ1ae
453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZqoYEPKy7R
「當然呀，這是我提議的嘛～」杜若自信地抱起手臂、挺起胸膛。453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqEOgqoDapj
453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSRTwOUSpYY
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。453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnD6Zptwk1j
453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDi7GW7okdM
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。453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVu7cukIepy
453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTLuOdRSiic
「妳的傷……換我幫妳吧。」453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXwegPE1mvY
453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaCcOMdOcCd
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。453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3jnIJhEmuI
453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiJZ1onzLFU
「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。453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsUbmuW6DMo
453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpwHBEEE2uh
「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。453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9pRhbc3gBW
453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPK5ZvlTwEx
「撕得開來嗎？」杜若看著紫藤有些僵硬的動作，有所顧慮地問。453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrlUuAe7hJh
453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuaHHbfmIC6
「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。453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkeqtSqAJyA
453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvNlxt2t6Zv
「……好了。換膝蓋吧。」453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMVY5ZFWYh1
453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxKg2UijDyJ
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。453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo2OmrsYqTa
453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡksQizoNogP
「我臉上有什麼嗎？」紫藤不解地偏過頭。453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4aknZ900QJ
453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzYhnS3ZkVD
「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：453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdrOAcLhAYY
453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1wlD8QRzkb
「只是覺得紫藤認真的模樣……果然好帥喔。」453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCStRj7Ox1R
453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPj2NtGyeer
突如其來的稱讚，令紫藤頓時耳根一熱。453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxwsHXQjNf3
453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlsCF2RHl95
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？453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKdmJUlwzQt
453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvrpMqCctOI
「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：453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4FAQUFOC6r
453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBq26yIBwBQ
「謝謝……」453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAwkClTqS4l
453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiqOu74h99k
「嗯？」453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUNW7TdsDOh
453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0WlMAoUKV4
「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……！」453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFurLaRTzIC
453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjEfuWs9hB3
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。453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvPg0VpmTnd
453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgZbmTd18OX
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。453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3uAyWoOu2N
453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7L9VUuVpkX
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。453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1bxmXkjLp3
453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyCvHJvogLk
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。453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVEI9JmS8ck
453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgityJyTJ2E
「稍微……稍微彎起來一點。」453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcXMCzJqX95
453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDG4ZgsrR4M
「這樣？」453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvlXdXv3Igm
453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1JbWBFtHRB
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。453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyo6owSGnLp
453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWEymotegcc
「……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。453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcsqmHdcOgC
453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLImG5VZ5Xw
於是紫藤收起醫療用品，起身將箱子放回原位。453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWBg1cyUjIg
453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiazCXwCPPE
「對了，剛才紫藤提到的事件……」453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWspfudUHqA
453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL4GuH7qt8f
就在要踏出房門的時候，杜若忽然想到了什麼似地開了口。453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi2xhxjGg3L
453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlyMyKxsZqg
「事件、是倒塌事件嗎？」453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8J07TbRGi4
453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG0XHFG7B18
「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。453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsJu11EKof0
453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5ppPYjP1D7
「怎麼了嗎？」看見杜若的模樣，令紫藤擔心地走了回去。453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjwtpYAGh40
453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzZNC2a19i2
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。453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlI9Xx03dmv
453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq4nCPU9y6y
「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！」453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSkTkUM9i70
453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjyeAhBjkzl
紫藤雖然感到疑惑，卻還是沒有多問地走出了房間。453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJO3n2kP7oI
453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3ASvzKE4c2
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。453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx9jzXQdaMy
453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS81giVyQYH
「我們……好像弄錯順序了耶。」453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFgWo6GbmIk
453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwAczjKJvqB
「……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。453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS9889kZCZG
453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuTa0QUqkGL
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。453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3Q4U3929dE
453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdgQTP26dFx
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。453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHRyxLX6pt1
453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLv763uGDnq
「紫藤需要我幫忙嗎？」453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmauh4cbLUp
453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ17rwQ2XvHr
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。453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlvVaKAxZeM
453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcL67XVF7ss
「我、我自己來就可以了……」453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMJZuUDY387
453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡepFCna8s4O
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。453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMtZDMnQvsu
453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEuDsSocBM6
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。453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfIbwJ1NoV0
453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLzEh9VoT3c
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。453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwWxqcOluiY
453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5IQlkAtgjU
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。453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi3s9OV5Ya9
453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBCfbymZacP
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。453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDx1LBtVDZi

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？453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz1bliBH755
453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxWkIjccDO8
「……紫藤。」453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc5Xhm5Tcp7
453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVhEeTrp0n0
「怎麼了？」453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡptbKvQc9pg
453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ86JUMbY7m9
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。453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfTalkXwb9L
453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmSNn3uUzQf
「紫藤說、會一直在我身邊……我可以相信紫藤吧？」453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuPPsnO7tEv
453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNtPKVEHC6E
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。453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡghK8CLC2Qt
453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOxwk0p8H0Y
紫藤伸出手輕蓋在了杜若的後腦，卻沒有辦法就這麼點頭。453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ9SOkubW6p
453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe9o5L5kHY9
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？453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1lRgJJu0TL
453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP79EQKP06C
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。453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWjujPsOQM8
453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRsaKy0dagQ
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。453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcaPAfPKKxq
453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbvfhmin1R6
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？453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnTQ33KOuJr
453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxDA096Hk9n
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。453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhkyIiwogY9
453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2cOmNzMVSQ
不過紫藤現在就在這裡。453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ57PMjGgRhy
453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5eEHJlgOUG
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。453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyGYqBcQxLj
453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIbHfJa3HRV
於是、紫藤探出指頭，用指腹輕貼上了杜若的臉頰。453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVV2vMwhXTm
453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ26aCiEagrF
「……我會試著做到的。」453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj5pRVpO3WP
453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJS8eQhA90N
「什麼嘛……」聽見這不乾脆的回答，杜若便沒輒地笑了。453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJUZXdMdgIb
453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6aSObAizOP
「不過……我相信紫藤喔。」453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtRz6aiOYZy
453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAn8uYyPyPq
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。453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJhdhxI8iMD
453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKCnYvYnH9v
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。453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFD7SiueHlx
453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPk4UFSDbw9
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。453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBUCmomdmJf
453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqleUK9y9H3
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。453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt430ZNSLUA
453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡny9mdN9XCx
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。453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYnwetZIcbD
