迴響的隆隆聲如同夢境般遠去。452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2SjKsqoy9n
452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCOySsODT75
從開出的小縫裡，一道狹窄的光切開了無邊無際的黑暗。452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeXl16faK60
452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4OpFXfPvMd
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。452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhfe3BlVqf5
452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp2ohXGSorN
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。452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡawqQYeWHSW
452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJa71KpnKJB
連沙華會都靜謐下來，就代表連凌晨也快要結束了吧。452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ76TjFArtMD
452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBC9PXc1X32
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。452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡulVX2sGGTr
452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsFHksfFk1W
「走吧。我們一起回去。」452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnyMYiqldln
452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvlk5Obnyqu
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。452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkUfAQYcWxx
452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡylz4QZSsTk
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。452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnZDr0LqUVZ
452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpPl67L6eoZ
為了處理傷口，杜若讓紫藤靠到了床板上頭。452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI8XgxtABju
452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKsqOUvNiYB
「嗚……！」452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4hBQzCXnPj
452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO4f1cx4U2l
消毒藥水碰到傷口的劇痛，讓紫藤吃痛地叫出悶聲。452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2xu0XaUFce
452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6CxjNekYbZ
「很痛嗎……？」杜若停下動作，擔憂地看向紫藤。452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYzJ5EekI9W
452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrRjzAHtyib
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。452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZiHlSZE0ZK
452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhlnvZcmu1h
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。452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6CimuFV4wg
452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWaIPkL4Yam
「……我還可以忍。」說完，紫藤打直手臂。452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBWcjtnrU9R
452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡczH1jAYoqZ
杜若點點頭，卻宛如做錯了事一般地垂下眼簾。452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE9rojseaPE
452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsTpO2mgo3c
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。452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaOQCkpz5kX
452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8raJAU7p9R
「那、再忍耐一下就好。」452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq5eoglZx2f
452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKx0KzYJxS9
「呼、呼……嗚——！」452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWfHVv9wtcC
452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7z2MAotZsu
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。452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZNnDWVjILc
452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡStXW830tgv
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。452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9qiPGbUmpQ
452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlk5u44Q7k8
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。452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMkf7KefvEn
452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEcbdjOyIWs
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。452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDxgUijJLY6
452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPf2E9hRdQC
「還要喝嗎？」杜若捧著還有一半的水杯，輕柔地問。452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyvREspE0Eu
452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXlHeV4F9hu
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。452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTlIPQvXJbZ
452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi71FVFsbgQ
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。452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRUAtYR91Mp
452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXVU4v3eZTk
「……謝謝。」452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe4oKbZaPPa
452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡziZ7Avt7iV
「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。452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDDlYG2lgjf
452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFl522uX8CL
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。452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡijj24U7WW3
452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwDEbIu14kb
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。452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkABo1uvSo1
452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIz8oYgufZv
不過，這無疑都是事實。452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE86OquW9d5
452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjv7Z0jvpLC
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。452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXAOuHM6fBY
452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqULK1TyViZ
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。452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1m6Izb6zo5
452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPmN42K7J8g
「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。452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGta1H23ARO
452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs9YXILFnFB
沉默了半晌，紫藤才慢慢地開口。452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSRDjHcIoBg
452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ95Xpz97vCk
「是我媽媽的遺物。」452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTfXtkq7lAG
452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR6cOJ5f3QM
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。452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWbC5U9pW6y
452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx32Uf9a092
「咦……？那為什麼會在墨駒的手裡呀？」杜若不假思索地問道。452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjnKV1fk8A8
452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQXpUyHT4iw
「我也不知道。」紫藤搖搖頭，黯然地闔上雙眼。452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH2fsJLXCFg
452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuqFHqfGKzQ
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。452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAXNWPZuyLX
452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfd0EXLtCsz
「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：452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc9hNTw9JQO
452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzJY16o4U2p
「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。」452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtNGmnQBpKi
452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡecLfDtnQMJ
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。452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD0pOaYZ0Vv
452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcZmklttwGp
「這就是那時候、他們從媽媽的身上搶走的東西之一。」452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKuGYnSaIYy
452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSEFSkviF1j
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。452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPczTrIa95G
452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt9KtQFAKLU
從那時起，濺在臉上的那朵紅花就已經在紫藤的心頭生根。452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4vHxIiHvNz
452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfz50iJI7QA
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。452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE6rqSru8SN
452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT3ZBBdB3kg
「原來……這是對紫藤來說這麼重要的東西啊。」452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiWmBtahOBD
452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7DTs4BsxR1
「嗯。」紫藤在胸前連同戒指握緊了拳頭。452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmBFToJjjeg
452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoH6NMJ283U
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。452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyFHqZLyyMA
452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwhDciuw19g
自己已經不想要再失去任何東西了。452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdwMt6oTKem
452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUG5fky4NtF
「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。452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBCVWBaBX21
452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcqrl6iXIL8
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。452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyElPW6r4Ls
452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXZvja6QwM7
「媽媽他——」452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxrSQFyJdCQ
452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGX72y4LTkm
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。452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0nHSYfGmNU
452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFHEl09vFIN
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」。452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWX163soDeI
452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMCnV5PTtmw
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。452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4hgONQdyJQ
452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgVAyG5lugV
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。452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7wr4yj3O6n
452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbuz3JgaMPJ
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。452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOuoi2AUVzO
452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpwe5md7f3g
但紫藤一點都不喜歡學校。452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeR2juHr3lA
452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX5IYDngQh8
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。452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWSCI60EsP6
452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpZyx0LDiEa
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。452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQl1JH92Z4o
452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1rf2jwiYZu
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。452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqQbItI3CaQ
452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtWB7C5lE3r
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。452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxD6LL2JatL
452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡID8q39LURb
嗯，這樣就夠了。那時的紫藤只有這麼單純的滿足。452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKpArcywOfk
452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhGBo0V2Pye
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。452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuBKHIWuX83
452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDlN5w1HyVz
那是一起倒塌事件。452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpcHb6hWIXb
452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfeBQMfA1wA
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。452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9zQtKLvb7a
452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMKxjQKFyJ1
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。452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqr69HduO9h
452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc7KzSraEhS
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。452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXOjyuTHJU8
452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNds2uidT7h
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。452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡooDqmvBapV
452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSGKtjqHr0Q
「……我會找到給墨駒這個戒指的人。」452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8HhdPHj76E
452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq61sYasEtx
收起回憶，紫藤再次握緊了戒指。452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAK4lD9mJ3q
452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNbVq4FHTHO
「然後，殺了他。」452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkqDGQykJnA
452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOe0FyQQY0R
紫藤的眼神猶如熾火，沒有一分一毫的搖曳。452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk5RvlGOxjA
452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5xjpzltplS
但只不過幾秒，便很快地萎靡了下來。452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3sLzXS34Qj
452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUcS4Ir0D5r
「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。」452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLpvYqXnq5e
452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFtmupyGPDa
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。452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJN9QJLGQxr
452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWJSLyRPlEW
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。452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ23xGarorTi
452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5BWdW5NUTS
「原來、這就是紫藤想要跟我一起行動的原因呀。」452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYzCFaaqf4T
452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzVpz5gRYJe
「……嗯。」452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzAkNOgVdqa
452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8h11o09GD9
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。452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOAICynaFwR
452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCeSaUFPYvf
紫藤深信，這就是自己向那些骯髒禽獸復仇的楔子。452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPaVv8IgnME
452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZYz9yGjFcr
這就是足以斬斷自己心頭那朵紅花的白刃。452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2oA3RbCfnM
452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdtp8Sk4rIJ
「……杜若妳呢？」452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV7V9ifBFTR
452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyXJSvzD4gN
紫藤拾起快要滿溢的情感，回望了杜若那如新月般的雙眸。452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDWvw8eqZFz
452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGCRI3IeuNW
「又是為什麼……會開始當殺手？」452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ22o0KFG3n9
452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡihR6gEGUMd
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。452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1Q0oYg8Fwn
452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfSoRbUMWIs
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。452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpTnPPJzALV
452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvIISx2owaw
「紫藤……不會生氣吧？」452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPtXlTdVV79
452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVufxpiap2r
杜若果然還在意著那時自己的衝動。452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXRzJaFNK9E
452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSXbPvwVl7h
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。452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGKGrOZBX2k
452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtlnEEZrIWC
「不會。」紫藤堅定地說：「我保證。」452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF1ZgjEHx32
452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbTUG52c2Ga
等到紫藤緩緩收起手後，杜若才按著胸口，下定決心地開口。452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8ZTkbLDVUv
452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu4Tyw0DvxV
「……我想要救陶壺叔。」452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaU8O62TqSl
452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwYaGDlFGMT
杜若喃喃吐出的回答令紫藤感到十分意外。452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ16tTjmpC4
452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoAAAqW5tJf
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？452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc4fMSzVIoe
452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY94NjDAmQW
就好像發現了紫藤的疑惑，杜若幽幽地繼續說道：452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLFxcaJ22E9
452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡChLGmT89Mi
「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。」452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvKhimlwFuy
452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡka56m63AcT
全身慢慢就會不能動的病？452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRodJcKDT8v
452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPmHe9HY1mK
這種病紫藤是頭一次聽見。452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhKQjcW8VdP
452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1FPXQfgrP4
「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。」452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2gi8lNT3Kf
452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkBJdt6DYDh
「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。452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbLbwZf8mNX
452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBNJGeO97AA
「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。」452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqsheyU9AYZ
452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi1AM22NbwX
杜若的笑只看得見無力。452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC7ECgSCzXm
452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZeRqqccA9F
「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。」452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwyCqYA8Lwl
452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG4OdWpAVXu
到這裡，杜若便沒有繼續說下去了。452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOA6Ek2zktq
452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhcOpKezK7q
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。452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1Zc31JEbyR
452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGdAzq3YZaZ
然而，紫藤卻忍不住想要質疑的念頭。452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoyYkRNUpZ3
452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIIqajIrFQg
「那個狐狸、真的就這麼值得相信嗎？」452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXXYM1IwF5K
452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhXbs6B0VW3
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。452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbk12qDgulX
452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrVbyNMbzuH
「……狐狸一直都對我很好呀。」452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUR4h0alTDT
452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzMlpYlofbi
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。452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhM0w3cQBFK
452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvlJxyFJbxj
「所以，我還是相信狐狸。」452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzsRoYTvMhp
452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxJpLMam6Dq
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。452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQf6oPcSyOu
452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9nKyMOrSmL
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。452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9P7pY4P2vZ
452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwbIcvSJREx
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。452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6wp8Gjal5i
452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnqzrClclyT
哪怕、就算那道光芒是朝自己射出的子彈也一樣。452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS2YSw8Jdfd

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？452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡObtwU7P8nJ
452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFZdqQAWuN8
這怎麼可能。452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9VdjtfR2sm
452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡptC8pDuHYP
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。452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA1TNBFWB52
452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHNNpEoYF0N
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。452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxD9XYVYzMW
452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS8DajeGreH
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。452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0yiVmW5sKn
452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6L01ZcVjlV
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。452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb9QnXXG3jm
452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXCV7lYTau4
察覺到掌心的柔軟，杜若看著紫藤靦腆地一笑。452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGTZa6nuDoJ
452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ4CDEKXlqN
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452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1JwDrF2zqF
452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡosJSmdNzYR
「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。452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ8AZwunk9p
452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdJg6qfm43t
「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！」452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6COpBgwq0K
452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx8GkwbMoY6
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。452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx3QYwuXbmf
452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLzZDMsU2IW
「不過，果然還是不能夠靠沙華會的人呢。」452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZFoXcllML7
452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZVdZCx6OHH
經過剛才被反擊的經驗，讓兩人都對這點有了更多的共識。452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr8ac9JpwwZ
452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuaf9bfT9Vj
說了句「話說回來」後，杜若就一轉話鋒、向紫藤問道：452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEEQ21XYs9g
452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡajeoRxA350
「紫藤想要殺掉的人又是誰呀？紫藤還記得嗎？」452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5kRnb5yiz4
452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfN9NthCBEd
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。452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHuRiqrs1Yk
452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX2KJK4kcbj
「是一個……在脖子後面紋著白色線條的沙華會紋身的人。」452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk1OXHOttj7
452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhEpjMCuSNE
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。452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkg1wLDN3DJ
452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2KkG0wjshJ
「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。」452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLNnsBDRTsf
452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ68kbeJT9ad
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。452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3Gb1zhtZ3i
452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZAjPD85awV
「這樣的話，我也來幫忙吧！」杜若自告奮勇地舉高手：452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVwRm1dhTcP
452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUw5DgiaUoY
「兩個人一起找絕對比較快的！」452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJhpgAiADbu
452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeWRep196ru
杜若的模樣、讓紫藤晚了一步才發現自己說錯了話。452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrw6mazJUrG
452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSwb4TTXL5t
紫藤默默地低下頭、沉聲回答。452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUY0fISne9c
452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡenCJJJYYpC
「……不用那樣。我……我自己就夠了。」452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpFJp50BUAX
452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhIhhMKSln2
這冷淡的回答讓杜若頓時像被潑了水的貓咪似地一愣。452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbUH4Itkv30
452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmg2tN6QlE9
「可是、紫藤不是說到現在都……」452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwgrmYTCLKR
452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPuqfNGXSNU
「這本來就是我自己的事。」452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDcZUtvTCO3
452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbFSJ0BbCgY
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。452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6MrO37hbJy
452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC0utHY6Ar6
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。452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ27FbYHbnSW
452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgntsWRD2WA
「那要是紫藤遇到危險怎麼辦！」倏地，杜若站起身、提高音量452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeQnyQGX1ji
452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡduKDvhpLIE
「我就是為了保護自己，才會去學習要怎麼搏鬥。」452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL8QTmE3yeD
452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfibkXrwa6R
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。452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjRDCinV4T6
452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLeZvFsWNiX
「可是、假如對方有槍、假如遇到像今天一樣的事……」452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj3AOlOWU7l
452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEJFZLmrsfM
「我是不會讓自己被殺死的。」452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAKzbOELQt9
452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRDa5JFgKSX
「紫藤明明就傷成這樣、還說這種話……！」452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXVpkf9CVgP
452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgvxlU30bQ1
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。452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYjI6ImduUz
452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ41RnuiiQAu
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。452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNjBFvIpr0K
452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfBfsOVo6bv
杜若雖然想甩開，但卻在一半就失去了力氣。452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtvLusl11uh
452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIPMP3G53j9
「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……」452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡToCGtLcYF6
452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKD8ZwtbqHm
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。452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD8jLjoAZDs
452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI5iYGLUCA7
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？452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4PrPaFsxw1
452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZe8xi3qFF8
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。452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWHxME2mIYa
452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQD4pMo8aMZ
最後，紫藤還是用了奸詐的說法。452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAZ23s7VHPf
452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC8T13CB2as
「我跟陶壺叔約定過，說不會讓妳受傷了。」452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ70TWzzSUTY
452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1Jcydn6tWK
「那難道紫藤要我看著妳受傷嗎？」452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3EZRIaAjbC
452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIdgGR9rMwi
雖然夾雜著鼻音、但這句話卻如此強而有力。452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8YUaemTqdt
452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA9gqUyEakC
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。452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYVh4WtzzTK
452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbTBXer4XNA
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。452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡehSedKhhKa
452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWly62S0LQt
而紫藤打算再在杜若的身上再添一層相同的痛苦嗎？452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJKCGjNlL6h
452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoXQVqr56Rb
紫藤無法回答，只是沉默地別開了視線。452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbVRC4pMP1w
452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7KcmDnRnB4
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？452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIzNAKvAsQM
452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJyDY4HcRrE
哪條路都是崎嶇，哪條路也都是痛苦。452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnTPG9yQ4S4
452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHnl6DTJZje
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？452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg41LRthk3t
452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6lza7QsJ4Y
只因為就連接受也是痛苦吧。452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlLCX5zPdVc
452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ87IU8BmHZg
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？452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOsgQJehNl4
452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlKpCv3goCz
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。452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjQ87rSTDjB
452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1RZB64LQKC
思及至此，紫藤才慢慢地放鬆了手中的力道。452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡni6l3gapiB
452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡotMrNaVpcV
「答應我、要先保護好妳自己。」452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmMVtwHNnrC
452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4NPGWHv1IH
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。452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYOZjL0INUC
452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJU4hWjTibF
「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。452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH6oz12Ir0c
452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL67gLG3JKL
「所以，我的份就用來保護紫藤吧！」452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0ZsJg0OZVt
452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUsvJx0mMRO
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。452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDl3LSpfp9q
452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgTMlyATbYR
「喔喔！紫藤笑了耶！」452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSxgEY43CZF
452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhe95B0e68b
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。452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3YNkFiqZy2
452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD2bPwUdlxU
「哇啊啊——！對不起！」杜若立刻慌張地放下手來。452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrT0S67mwdE
452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqxAbGtPzuu
疼痛雖然還沒散去，但紫藤還是發自內心地笑了。452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3mBrWAEAKE
452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNaQb7tWWND
「……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？」452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ427RFsIQzV
452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJO1cW1IhuH
「咦？」這提議讓紫藤也感到意外地眨了眨眼。452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxNjEMxZ4Ph
452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxOyDjVraSJ
「雖然是我自己猜的……不過狐狸應該很擅長找人吧。」452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQILb140g4Z
452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIMVBnJSUAq
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。452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdLrhsgnc3Y
452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuG0KWVNPIN
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。452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc8oD0kZQhb
452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBfTC44xEXD
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。452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdlQR5vyFjv
452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqLCKmHmVYe
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？452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7SPcCAH9vJ
452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQdltDqV1yr
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？452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1muRWdEFVq
452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWMz8OxT0Dh
「那……可以幫我跟狐狸說說看嗎？」452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8PghTJl5jL
452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4rxH6Aqeny
「當然呀，這是我提議的嘛～」杜若自信地抱起手臂、挺起胸膛。452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwRxv4fsYJu
452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEWXacWOOgy
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。452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG4ycryNpay
452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxT2IHmHNMJ
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。452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ01OsBzjAT
452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2YYpvhNSUm
「妳的傷……換我幫妳吧。」452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMtKRBd3nJE
452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuqoHX7OaAo
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。452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡphXDxMbkkd
452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnDsN0RCLDm
「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。452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsSOZTDBX3q
452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhM6BCkxrOA
「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。452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyvnxn909Ju
452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqIRCYCgQf3
「撕得開來嗎？」杜若看著紫藤有些僵硬的動作，有所顧慮地問。452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ02HkLLNTbW
452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF44zsdf5kD
「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。452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNvefi5oBRb
452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrIbeUSKIK3
「……好了。換膝蓋吧。」452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaPwMINmDbc
452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqEMsPJqrNh
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。452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ46H2LnZhPV
452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVTXTOfxCBx
「我臉上有什麼嗎？」紫藤不解地偏過頭。452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhTZbXqvGgd
452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1muw0MHg8N
「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：452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj3cJxuNbEH
452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhMW3a4RS5G
「只是覺得紫藤認真的模樣……果然好帥喔。」452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv8vte3DpLt
452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeenK2lNfaY
突如其來的稱讚，令紫藤頓時耳根一熱。452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf4RnNli6d7
452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfRpHDDE3HY
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？452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMbKFvUUNsk
452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLphMMNwb2J
「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：452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkYYnw6uz88
452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJMknnj5q3b
「謝謝……」452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc0eWWjxT2X
452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXxmdoFicgC
「嗯？」452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNS2lQhdaxY
452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaYNIOVQBO7
「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……！」452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFhWXOqJcJD
452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUYKmCM6nNi
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。452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlzJnQBclUr
452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG7viSJnGx7
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。452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1ZeLbRrA1Q
452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpVhsEgBhL3
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。452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAET2wL8Dcz
452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM8p6DpCsvE
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。452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkHxLE0VaXC
452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkWH3TUb7EK
「稍微……稍微彎起來一點。」452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOW2vZIChFO
452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0f6ZR6haPu
「這樣？」452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuZ0cAFUITJ
452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQsOIb5vjfQ
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。452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3sdKWqCZ8O
452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡShH00BCD2B
「……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。452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqrVdiZcBFk
452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpraJ9lPodm
於是紫藤收起醫療用品，起身將箱子放回原位。452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhPV8n5KV1q
452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIOCCQSGhid
「對了，剛才紫藤提到的事件……」452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCGfYpy8ngK
452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9BsJFnkTUg
就在要踏出房門的時候，杜若忽然想到了什麼似地開了口。452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlirOcPUpea
452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡweTGlG4bAQ
「事件、是倒塌事件嗎？」452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbOWqJD2KFr
452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOvhFBi6T1y
「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。452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXVyWWYPNwI
452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4jYWFkOQtu
「怎麼了嗎？」看見杜若的模樣，令紫藤擔心地走了回去。452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡym8d4163w4
452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2gFdJOsPj9
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。452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqAdykle5sk
452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCgttCBcNPE
「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！」452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfoLOk0rAiJ
452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSRutsKBgCn
紫藤雖然感到疑惑，卻還是沒有多問地走出了房間。452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWRy76M9wKT
452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK6yxgrJmrM
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。452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLbLmQ8wTEI
452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDwGHxH6cvq
「我們……好像弄錯順序了耶。」452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5cvxlPRr8T
452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrkid4qWCTb
「……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。452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOmnYDqUEbK
452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx1JU1oFMFQ
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。452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnPzSIDudpC
452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV4A7YdUPSI
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。452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSebMHRXVCV
452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjdj4OBlRjS
「紫藤需要我幫忙嗎？」452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEQiwK8IzFd
452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEqftI8QUHr
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。452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXgQqfuaGH8
452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxrInRn7LBl
「我、我自己來就可以了……」452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJKAeugxI68
452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4zE4PFsyWQ
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。452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWfTi0OV5vF
452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJmzxApqCkh
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。452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1Wyha587tO
452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBQ4QPxoNPo
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。452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw1pVZrStmb
452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1BXmN58sU8
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。452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdUlNbNBsov

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。452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6wj5ylXnOf
452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIROqC7OFVc
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？452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlVX3Ho8Djk
452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs3rzwiZsXO
「……紫藤。」452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKU2YmFLaez
452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoAXMAWVCtT
「怎麼了？」452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzZmi3L9B6u
452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxQtaqxX2H9
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。452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGPKx4PJWWz
452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEmGnbebAT3
「紫藤說、會一直在我身邊……我可以相信紫藤吧？」452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5AuKd6JxwX
452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAqP1chNuUD
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。452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpycn3gxePb
452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT7uP9kcYJd
紫藤伸出手輕蓋在了杜若的後腦，卻沒有辦法就這麼點頭。452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYQku7lb5RF
452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaSRT4e4LBM
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？452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt2ZbL6zJQd
452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYoAmrU9YRy
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。452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRn4vMFVDnN
452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIyT5vT9BGa
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。452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZdkNqhXzaB
452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡToNEoam87J
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？452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzEukN2Ymi7
452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVcQy1tMkrT
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。452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeddD4qBaIJ
452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBrv8gw20gt
不過紫藤現在就在這裡。452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnO2cOheimT
452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuldFtEN5Ms
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。452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjRjoGavLWu
452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtL4RkzbV7Q
於是、紫藤探出指頭，用指腹輕貼上了杜若的臉頰。452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfc1CI6FTuy
452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEps18U7Xs0
「……我會試著做到的。」452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbk2GOvP1Ny
452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoiniVBVNIK
「什麼嘛……」聽見這不乾脆的回答，杜若便沒輒地笑了。452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqse6Oibuhz
452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOLjAuXLbIg
「不過……我相信紫藤喔。」452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡspEESLlELR
452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcRz1vTobQQ
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。452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQJjkENtXk6
452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHAQQ2zpgqY
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。452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg104cpN4AE
452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP0sNTdGAYf
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。452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiWC8I6uEKF
452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwi7ujDBK9F
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。452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD2YWRXe1Dn
452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuh2qojgFkN
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。452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkI3IsiBc1q
