迴響的隆隆聲如同夢境般遠去。402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdOhKMNRA07
402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3DTHTNz7Sa
從開出的小縫裡，一道狹窄的光切開了無邊無際的黑暗。402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDhqhGNHZcO
402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnkAc1et5SJ
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。402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3ruiNnDfft
402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYOkyDZXiij
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。402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ16qI4UOiKz
402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw4JAMd3feJ
連沙華會都靜謐下來，就代表連凌晨也快要結束了吧。402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkCcpAZ4rEf
402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFks17FBQvU
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。402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoFy9qQmRdR
402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFiVM3k0LU9
「走吧。我們一起回去。」402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGYaoQQ4MFy
402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiboT1poKrm
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。402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzUhqV5DpuC
402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtLtuybB1Ed
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。402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOlxM5J345a
402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyZaLJsMwPL
為了處理傷口，杜若讓紫藤靠到了床板上頭。402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWrpNeS86nG
402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPbM691ippC
「嗚……！」402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTtcWcldm7Q
402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIH0UCGVRhy
消毒藥水碰到傷口的劇痛，讓紫藤吃痛地叫出悶聲。402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfdpjbMEuSV
402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcxRvy90pLo
「很痛嗎……？」杜若停下動作，擔憂地看向紫藤。402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMQGDqDfbFQ
402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfvfKv0P6Vf
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。402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaf2yWahcml
402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4E5ZNXzL2B
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。402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnq3WO4KIqm
402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYZ6ZBtH7jC
「……我還可以忍。」說完，紫藤打直手臂。402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcpYF2q9mB5
402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡckDk2usahW
杜若點點頭，卻宛如做錯了事一般地垂下眼簾。402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvaqofIEYrS
402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRPb7ceqDri
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。402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsviFogyGwq
402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrbfp6lSoNB
「那、再忍耐一下就好。」402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4YddVEJdU5
402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWFysBRF5cW
「呼、呼……嗚——！」402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdZ0GshkSWQ
402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWbjZvWrZgn
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。402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvZ1giQmm6E
402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBZaYjVw2Ep
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。402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt7ItUo4Vnk
402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm8GuPWIQb5
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。402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPIKuEli56U
402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvK2fAJSDam
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。402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtzF1GM9RcK
402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQOCt44yW9l
「還要喝嗎？」杜若捧著還有一半的水杯，輕柔地問。402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLfbCk5ZATY
402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡetqJigGe4t
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。402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOdAcaZifIc
402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡImwpkmHMPy
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。402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhWDy73xyPu
402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzu5Hb8YzCt
「……謝謝。」402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDRmFI5WzrB
402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4UCmrtxjdq
「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。402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLm2XNoHMYz
402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsHR0gTvH3z
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。402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8QpC464uTL
402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡogivZZdBdH
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。402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD7qelONU5f
402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡutAhIfkGJ9
不過，這無疑都是事實。402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0sg6O7wbWj
402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTwj4BzkWZm
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。402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU64ktagLgs
402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0HUCbNAH7k
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。402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX5vkZjUwI5
402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb11NhiozzS
「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。402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXvSxbNwHXS
402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZLyMxU8Rty
沉默了半晌，紫藤才慢慢地開口。402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWkcAiO0345
402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7YHOet7Kfv
「是我媽媽的遺物。」402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFFRcFu8l7m
402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKQzsh9PUxS
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。402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3EepJThX2t
402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ89ATbU7Yq5
「咦……？那為什麼會在墨駒的手裡呀？」杜若不假思索地問道。402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXtuWWDn3YW
402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡclGLeCXa9T
「我也不知道。」紫藤搖搖頭，黯然地闔上雙眼。402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMBJuE4ZSmj
402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz25OBkZzzM
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。402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5nqLPO8V4N
402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0SJ4RXsr2L
「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：402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5I3ATKo7Xl
402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡohRPdl1pkN
「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。」402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3wMUSgxhej
402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQWKfGzu1sG
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。402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkp3IY43WCe
402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXppoIkLTZe
「這就是那時候、他們從媽媽的身上搶走的東西之一。」402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7notR7Dqi9
402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBcGxCHvXeJ
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。402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡszamQn5cIH
402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡugwOX8u5gG
從那時起，濺在臉上的那朵紅花就已經在紫藤的心頭生根。402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhGfKC7lLRk
402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyOxUCn5Adu
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。402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHFJGjjnJcG
402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZgePbKmxki
「原來……這是對紫藤來說這麼重要的東西啊。」402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTQ8FpIYgxp
402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeX2R0towhB
「嗯。」紫藤在胸前連同戒指握緊了拳頭。402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb4xAMyEQmu
402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4XozwJlMjn
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。402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHQ9shs7awY
402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhbM6Y4NZXE
自己已經不想要再失去任何東西了。402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoD0Ns51fIR
402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjuAP9IiS6o
「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。402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvXC0i4XSr0
402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5kWhiuY1Au
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。402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCSTTzanqPM
402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvostEJC2IY
「媽媽他——」402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfMTSlZ3VOS
402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi9IHwZDgf4
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。402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwBzkY6W0gT
402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5Q8D4nnVrh
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」。402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtKgN701qVB
402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyDRRT2AYKG
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。402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDVrdGvijec
402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRapn6WFyol
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。402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsi0tVEJw8x
402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVsc2oezuQ7
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。402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIwkcMbq6G1
402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtNgu8tlGOU
但紫藤一點都不喜歡學校。402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpcQXk29Oc0
402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡobehG8ZCnl
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。402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb1R7VBUGJM
402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8gfZwgVXIG
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。402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoUfvHXttIT
402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡclGw0LhMvp
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。402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwkgvJ0RY3F
402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLGczRUxXS4
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。402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡStcGCLTrnq
402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl7ljmejjsl
嗯，這樣就夠了。那時的紫藤只有這麼單純的滿足。402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtmGDQrj8NI
402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWgD6EB4Dkf
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。402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0K1XffBOZd
402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpKSjS3wTrV
那是一起倒塌事件。402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEtcGDMPp0g
402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgqqkXubg15
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。402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnln2rbXKJn
402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSInmALdEQA
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。402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEGHU4ZAZLF
402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEsoWVFCTeW
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。402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUQRayANqzt
402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC91cRt0Whv
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。402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt5633YRSlF
402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG34nwpwQCa
「……我會找到給墨駒這個戒指的人。」402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDR0KjUFyvC
402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI8tkxaUsDl
收起回憶，紫藤再次握緊了戒指。402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOGprOY2RRg
402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz0kGNpRZxu
「然後，殺了他。」402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmgyWNzcWJq
402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWb5PSiCgUX
紫藤的眼神猶如熾火，沒有一分一毫的搖曳。402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkp4TrUYQrc
402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnLObkRzxj1
但只不過幾秒，便很快地萎靡了下來。402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf8XWyQ2BcC
402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt4enwP1k2G
「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。」402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUdaQHrTSAM
402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLsYR3g33N6
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。402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1KHPQkMNML
402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTMv2hRMehZ
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。402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkJvQBm0cia
402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqe4mEl104g
「原來、這就是紫藤想要跟我一起行動的原因呀。」402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrsEG0J5z0w
402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUhAuo585cM
「……嗯。」402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC9qCY0RSRt
402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoqaOT5tO9J
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。402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7Ir6xRC1TK
402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjq5zhmVOpc
紫藤深信，這就是自己向那些骯髒禽獸復仇的楔子。402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjsBArlbQt8
402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfWJNkZ26rW
這就是足以斬斷自己心頭那朵紅花的白刃。402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs5jT9nkEnt
402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUZZ3ynEfRV
「……杜若妳呢？」402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmNzLsM4LZh
402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡemMLpe5wj6
紫藤拾起快要滿溢的情感，回望了杜若那如新月般的雙眸。402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoa7gCRZfL9
402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUKH1use78S
「又是為什麼……會開始當殺手？」402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRXigwacnCO
402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSCSRnDPoYQ
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。402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvJNjCvFHl3
402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRYSTxIEi9d
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。402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpBEJJRlvVq
402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHGoaBTibXn
「紫藤……不會生氣吧？」402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPc6dxPRIzT
402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7kmlEGiQVQ
杜若果然還在意著那時自己的衝動。402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGxpecOHRDD
402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLUeS5KaWRb
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。402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEv9kd9woss
402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2QBfKF7kut
「不會。」紫藤堅定地說：「我保證。」402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqXeLEKYnhR
402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡScG9V79254
等到紫藤緩緩收起手後，杜若才按著胸口，下定決心地開口。402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd9qjXdejBE
402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCIO4s0vJRi
「……我想要救陶壺叔。」402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSK6rSpvDEs
402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX5jVMljNFa
杜若喃喃吐出的回答令紫藤感到十分意外。402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaU2CJdiZmx
402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWO0RkzJ1s6
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？402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0MM3r312jg
402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡITNjmR1IZd
就好像發現了紫藤的疑惑，杜若幽幽地繼續說道：402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdcaAmtDXBU
402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZIafIShNej
「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。」402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlJutaP8k9c
402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoVROI6JgV3
全身慢慢就會不能動的病？402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtfm5IeKHmT
402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZeHq6hkWol
這種病紫藤是頭一次聽見。402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡClnsxlSiIR
402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlSvPSP9Thy
「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。」402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUa2nUJBEOL
402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqMlQdUz8KD
「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。402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWQ0I1oa06j
402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBFurqU7v23
「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。」402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUDVoRaFpEf
402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzz1xx3E7rA
杜若的笑只看得見無力。402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbX5qA7aNkO
402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLTx9QPMn5E
「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。」402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWkCD3ghOKb
402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnX7tBim7jH
到這裡，杜若便沒有繼續說下去了。402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6O5nlTHPI8
402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqjaNmCQwHc
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。402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIttbYDrzkE
402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6PfV5JsTN3
然而，紫藤卻忍不住想要質疑的念頭。402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJYwoEiUKLI
402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWKKfnLITrL
「那個狐狸、真的就這麼值得相信嗎？」402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3R15fgFleW
402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNzlPc6veok
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。402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT82nruEzEh
402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLc20ySGlHi
「……狐狸一直都對我很好呀。」402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwWFWO4rmLm
402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAxhTeJGWXw
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。402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlwp9srVyFB
402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq5NSWBo3SM
「所以，我還是相信狐狸。」402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPRrpVCwrxc
402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0lnXSzzcAC
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。402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhuJ8mJav4D
402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8HZV6zvRgY
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。402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQAQwKZTiL1
402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡis1d2wxSCB
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。402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmBYf108pIl
402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTmXIu1U8sP
哪怕、就算那道光芒是朝自己射出的子彈也一樣。402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoq2GNGgnor
402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu2b3OyNmH4
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？402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXAd8zTAThA
402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ5W1R9Y2vU
這怎麼可能。402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOYdwhlx77j
402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCq4CR6wi4Z
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。402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZPBrVy3XGA
402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHfPjYSIJwD
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。402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡddrPpQRrC5
402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd7gZPmzXDS
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。402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqioUyVZ6Y3
402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxlkKcKUN35
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。402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡssZ1MJ3nO2
402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqrdcuW9DE8
察覺到掌心的柔軟，杜若看著紫藤靦腆地一笑。402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOV3ljHvezP
402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVwO7SIQTa2
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402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9efALNbF6d
402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRjUtXxnbTj
「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。402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJDZ1Rpf1VH
402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdj99M5fCQH
「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！」402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0Vtw3CxAwG
402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ45KaR4qQD
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。402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1k0Xr3BFst
402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN1hLmIoz2k
「不過，果然還是不能夠靠沙華會的人呢。」402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGQvTmgWmLk
402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzAKXgDDisY
經過剛才被反擊的經驗，讓兩人都對這點有了更多的共識。402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ69T4neJfnL
402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAlDaWAPzWy
說了句「話說回來」後，杜若就一轉話鋒、向紫藤問道：402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzDEy9e5zb3
402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYg7xMCgF1K
「紫藤想要殺掉的人又是誰呀？紫藤還記得嗎？」402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLmuJBRWFqA
402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAT9cEx0jaL
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。402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHtBROjMYFG
402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKLlcJfjHn0
「是一個……在脖子後面紋著白色線條的沙華會紋身的人。」402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFGecrh5qo3
402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwgK3dEzim9
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。402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFxlLwxP8HD
402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYMczdHoor7
「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。」402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0Xgo0m3BKz
402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKLK7S4C0YX
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。402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ89Ki15Dfmz
402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡujvHaRVvzo
「這樣的話，我也來幫忙吧！」杜若自告奮勇地舉高手：402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv8rMjUusyt
402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYwRrrOwUXp
「兩個人一起找絕對比較快的！」402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwbzgomla7v
402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFlqh3fYdbn
杜若的模樣、讓紫藤晚了一步才發現自己說錯了話。402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdFHNub8oS3
402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMesw0dnYTS
紫藤默默地低下頭、沉聲回答。402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw9K3I7sfSs
402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuFSTTixexW
「……不用那樣。我……我自己就夠了。」402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUYyx5VeFbB
402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7leX94KTb1
這冷淡的回答讓杜若頓時像被潑了水的貓咪似地一愣。402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5b6MlvEFEI
402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN8aHn6Df9D
「可是、紫藤不是說到現在都……」402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOz5R5Fdw9y
402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ243dQ4ybs6
「這本來就是我自己的事。」402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeSsXw5wHvl
402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSaHRDQwfR0
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。402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡad5wd16M83
402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJkjxvEwpVt
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。402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD1P4zCb2kU
402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWmfvWlc0WU
「那要是紫藤遇到危險怎麼辦！」倏地，杜若站起身、提高音量402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvi0nMcIUPN
402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAhvdutsnid
「我就是為了保護自己，才會去學習要怎麼搏鬥。」402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡir5TEoZv9z
402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMrIUYrph3W
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。402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoL4Je10C8c
402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3PmXlbJSYp
「可是、假如對方有槍、假如遇到像今天一樣的事……」402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXz99uMXGgm
402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfzQiNp5kv3
「我是不會讓自己被殺死的。」402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoJajc9A0Vb
402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUmyvGbED2V
「紫藤明明就傷成這樣、還說這種話……！」402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQPnurczLS9
402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS4ieRaytp6
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。402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5v5CqB0MwB
402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUTbOiMFbdc
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。402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLZbYGqOIjW
402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlUouIRxOoV
杜若雖然想甩開，但卻在一半就失去了力氣。402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx83e0s0Wrr
402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuSt9Mx3CNd
「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……」402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ1GwQk8yn7
402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPNwNgg3VAY
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。402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD8BFJSP6V5
402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH1CdXHZVu7
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？402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡISQnPJwCUU
402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDO8G6jDd5G
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。402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡstI8gpDdKt
402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3SysUa255Z
最後，紫藤還是用了奸詐的說法。402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOLDziAtyCF
402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUO5RdiRSor
「我跟陶壺叔約定過，說不會讓妳受傷了。」402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj20hqtnmtc
402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs8XX0J75Ef
「那難道紫藤要我看著妳受傷嗎？」402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdHpfCx3SdB
402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7y7z6aqEdk
雖然夾雜著鼻音、但這句話卻如此強而有力。402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4JsP8TlCFk
402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUy9yEKzD9w
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。402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcxWAPMlklQ
402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHGrJZ4NIHW
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。402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2BX75BXTYA
402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtMd9cXc8P8
而紫藤打算再在杜若的身上再添一層相同的痛苦嗎？402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB1WxcYzxpc
402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkTyaoKTzIU
紫藤無法回答，只是沉默地別開了視線。402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡypc7wqOZSG
402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNqwo9In2lY
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？402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqhagY2D7dE
402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR3Bn1MAFzP
哪條路都是崎嶇，哪條路也都是痛苦。402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe8WUFnQdS8
402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5cKLlA5XtA
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？402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4Plf1bKEMf
402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcyfvzizgll
只因為就連接受也是痛苦吧。402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJZC2gXaoyE
402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6tQjPBBBoi
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？402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMre86VuyXO
402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNhKA968eAp
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。402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQhFdf45Sog
402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnt7WVGe9mU
思及至此，紫藤才慢慢地放鬆了手中的力道。402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNIGmlYofAx
402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfogaON9boi
「答應我、要先保護好妳自己。」402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE9LSUphQNl
402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtwgng8EwNT
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。402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVs3IycTR1D
402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDGYcTiIiqj
「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。402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8d9MD8fbm4
402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqpGtprWJTN
「所以，我的份就用來保護紫藤吧！」402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv5IoMI0BJK
402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxCDBGyLnO1
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。402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ27e23pmvPH
402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLGHFclg0Fy
「喔喔！紫藤笑了耶！」402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡobEWesuQHe
402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxibaYai1Ww
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。402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeOYxeVEgjC
402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXOsPtwsIdZ
「哇啊啊——！對不起！」杜若立刻慌張地放下手來。402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuqEqjUXYbh
402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZvPKgpleLE
疼痛雖然還沒散去，但紫藤還是發自內心地笑了。402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhduiXm8j3k
402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEPdscxc2Uq
「……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？」402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4YZerToBuS
402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX2tZcCckBt
「咦？」這提議讓紫藤也感到意外地眨了眨眼。402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwENFrA60IC
402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNbyzuopC7a
「雖然是我自己猜的……不過狐狸應該很擅長找人吧。」402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq9CGwdPJpr
402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv3rPkXtg7M
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。402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgV3QqAyHu5
402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDSQ7COjgXC
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。402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPyCt1IUYBA
402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHS5AmKjsIO
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。402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNdb17QIMTw
402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaXOz7Ep7KK
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？402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjYWMxpL6GE
402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyqAh5xPtzo
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？402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD9ALjqvCC9
402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnggO6S9hQM
「那……可以幫我跟狐狸說說看嗎？」402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmGTNENcx1f
402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ65oLA0iHdD
「當然呀，這是我提議的嘛～」杜若自信地抱起手臂、挺起胸膛。402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSnHnDaNhQD
402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSj4Raa5Qmz
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。402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6HTGbPxWlJ
402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡomInpvxKUn
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。402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAsaKEJWE9l
402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOJNWFWyXFG
「妳的傷……換我幫妳吧。」402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9CeTbKNaVr
402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmXlizZ1idF
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。402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdkljjzfOr9
402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3EidCnxJKm
「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。402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0tisx6HMVE
402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJaY4Ioe1om
「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。402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG1oXVPOAZa
402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3D5SSPQqco
「撕得開來嗎？」杜若看著紫藤有些僵硬的動作，有所顧慮地問。402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLVMsJruUyn
402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrl3Kv0EPw7
「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。402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwWpMscyOXA
402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp7WQfFmyr1
「……好了。換膝蓋吧。」402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGWOV1ah8Mm
402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpCc6Q9kI0h
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。402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfHOxqfhAe0
402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoWzR9cBR4D
「我臉上有什麼嗎？」紫藤不解地偏過頭。402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkvUMLgGG28
402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdm6kjYT1kW
「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：402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUORjPv6VBl
402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7nQKzhgNSY
「只是覺得紫藤認真的模樣……果然好帥喔。」402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbJydQvStmm
402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJw2ypfaQZg
突如其來的稱讚，令紫藤頓時耳根一熱。402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy4pQFvex7n
402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3wrMQtmE2Y
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？402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeee52h33DT
402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1sCtCKEJE1
「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：402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsHiJNe2Rj5
402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh7FobBMjEG
「謝謝……」402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1Cupcyzl4d
402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRoPlNhxbT9
「嗯？」402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM0YKdbZFIr
402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHFYvDHVA28
「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……！」402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc4XeRN3JNk
402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3pncYjr96r
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。402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO1w5kuhvsc
402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡckcWo1Y6Cd
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。402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡptRckTlDBx
402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaArpSTm3t1
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。402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFqe0wx50h6
402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiKQBbF6Juz
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。402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTvR7iL0BXw
402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSlXalhLw3V
「稍微……稍微彎起來一點。」402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2NGH726SqV
402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7FxLavHqBc
「這樣？」402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG2wACV34h3
402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8NGAbM0mdu
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。402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE80OJWLuEi
402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzm4tW2HblF
「……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。402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVZDNUFBY0v
402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu0VbxMi6or
於是紫藤收起醫療用品，起身將箱子放回原位。402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVOoNBd5JUT
402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5Zgh0tzagv
「對了，剛才紫藤提到的事件……」402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzR9UEesl29
402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd4d9wdl1rR
就在要踏出房門的時候，杜若忽然想到了什麼似地開了口。402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNpDkKnbIXG
402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPhumZ6VHre
「事件、是倒塌事件嗎？」402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNcIqP4suGG
402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡphKvhN58fQ
「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。402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbzx3ZB5uJO
402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVPwp4IRHKf
「怎麼了嗎？」看見杜若的模樣，令紫藤擔心地走了回去。402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfeM1jCF3QO
402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpRNlqk4SOb
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。402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDbcXLPU8j7
402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLtarPQjJ3n
「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！」402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ35zdjtrwm7
402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡayOzNr3rm7
紫藤雖然感到疑惑，卻還是沒有多問地走出了房間。402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWjmvdyiYT6
402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF79S8hSMtz
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。402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxHGGHGudml
402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4KiPgrW3t6
「我們……好像弄錯順序了耶。」402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡywbhUvWyn7
402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmAEXUKhOjp
「……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。402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE4FzpnjAyS
402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfwAMaox46p
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。402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKyPEMRpMVq
402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLHgW85guPG
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。402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd07Yyxji7u
402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy667KMIZgC
「紫藤需要我幫忙嗎？」402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN7zzYJCChk
402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXqTOq8AzCi
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。402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo1FFqsXEjs
402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBFkTPcuSxf
「我、我自己來就可以了……」402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpKvsRC8icl
402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgIYVtyoutA
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。402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNvucrgHrbp
402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLPxFAKjXKY
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。402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHfuMFy1lAl
402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd71ui5gyuT
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。402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5LtRVrkrjV
402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjnAPhcMoOy
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。402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfY7J5U78lI
402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNQPB2pIh6i
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。402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlzvqxhCm6A
402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡexJUvQgJAb
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？402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOvO3z7K3k5
402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9Lw5uiWzAg
「……紫藤。」402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcSCxoEFt2z
402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjRSeXZ7b4R
「怎麼了？」402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJXgapKt7CA
402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBDZXjlwOuM
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。402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7x35IV6Xkt
402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIBlTWdVvZM
「紫藤說、會一直在我身邊……我可以相信紫藤吧？」402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0ok9LW9eL7
402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ0gvgnnX01
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。402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsIqqlbVNf5
402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEHP3Hi4vjZ
紫藤伸出手輕蓋在了杜若的後腦，卻沒有辦法就這麼點頭。402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5O2MiQcbDi
402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnk3Ar1k0qA
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？402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJkV34jtJln
402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZl2w9THijQ
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。402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK2ffkBdTHx
402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsRBCTT03pw
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。402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7U3uGsv1hV
402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb7x02fvkZ6
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？402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUALINdTAHa
402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeCcOwXn3or
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。402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSdR6uBclOz
402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqlPNkn2TEI
不過紫藤現在就在這裡。402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG6E03F6wnM
402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiAYszucJuh
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。402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4yhkypIa7h
402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡECCtyRrHUP
於是、紫藤探出指頭，用指腹輕貼上了杜若的臉頰。402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVVaj2h1QT9
402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpzWvWU39uQ
「……我會試著做到的。」402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9uHwkKj4Bj
402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaH4mwqG3qf
「什麼嘛……」聽見這不乾脆的回答，杜若便沒輒地笑了。402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgAe2CdDRHk
402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeRZrA3tPjK
「不過……我相信紫藤喔。」402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdDjI0U8O5a
402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiP9O1xNO4i
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。402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsyKVbTwOuq
402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBextMaJze8
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。402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfDynDP4XC3
402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡai9GDGhzwJ
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。402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLdmR5Bm2I9
402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX2owiCOYuB
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。402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBNb6szr3Cf
402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT0J9UqhlYW
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。402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiAoowJiimZ
