迴響的隆隆聲如同夢境般遠去。451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH6w3niqIoH
451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2FyAopqmAb
從開出的小縫裡，一道狹窄的光切開了無邊無際的黑暗。451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEUj0p1RJ5T
451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbGfb4KHNGq
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。451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡodVbsr2hpK
451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1NOsrnF6w9
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。451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC9Djb4jlfY
451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbkXRLJGwdU
連沙華會都靜謐下來，就代表連凌晨也快要結束了吧。451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSGVZVJ6bBz
451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm3KfXtr2Wb
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。451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDqBUZw7O6F
451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdQviCGmVPj
「走吧。我們一起回去。」451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwP3cImdzSQ
451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrzeXjyZamc
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。451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi8f5qkSCRS
451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1rqreIGAx3
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。451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm0iJ1d4Icm
451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ07HjrUl0bl
為了處理傷口，杜若讓紫藤靠到了床板上頭。451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuZ6NwwiODt
451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxVb4rZIGXS
「嗚……！」451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu4AyB7ouWV
451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwvbIuAgplV
消毒藥水碰到傷口的劇痛，讓紫藤吃痛地叫出悶聲。451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMaVNpPH3i7
451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHfZNLdaCdp
「很痛嗎……？」杜若停下動作，擔憂地看向紫藤。451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkF5tRXPzZh
451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAFUzZLqKIh
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。451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDKVrbxtitL
451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzCw8iDq3tx
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。451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT3YFaSvzb9
451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeP4BVXYza9
「……我還可以忍。」說完，紫藤打直手臂。451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhquoY74LvE
451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw5EtdytIXL
杜若點點頭，卻宛如做錯了事一般地垂下眼簾。451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhCzzGp12jg
451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDyArMaQSz7
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。451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLCCdtzgFf9
451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgUnHJz8daL
「那、再忍耐一下就好。」451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCn0sVYyxfZ
451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjuJ3gfoGYt
「呼、呼……嗚——！」451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS4RhYuIJaP
451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPJSXAq01JH
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。451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaMedJcEEWF
451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZUEZ1oXjks
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。451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkvDHW7gSBO
451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyYPt8ho8nT
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。451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuBDvHqUSnu
451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNv6aaA5w9z
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。451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk377ej5LKd
451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz5stqEn1zl
「還要喝嗎？」杜若捧著還有一半的水杯，輕柔地問。451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNuWTnmLo66
451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ3M9DvL3xx
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。451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaxQySpi1FG
451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv00RgD6XZt
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。451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEtIXKigUn3
451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXrBMKLzUE7
「……謝謝。」451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYGWvs371rH
451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUszZyJweO3
「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。451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡizuOBRv3Sh
451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB3jm5yxYCE
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。451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV4XIFsdi33
451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0t4WeQK94V
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。451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaYt4VbUbBa
451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBUUOUNcb1R
不過，這無疑都是事實。451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEP5BZ1moTO
451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9mGst2jHUZ
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。451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGGXbwk19fF
451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2FfZstNM69
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。451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5pc40DWOGl
451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9fq4vpQo47
「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。451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAZlwLu0EEn
451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyNpm1rPc0C
沉默了半晌，紫藤才慢慢地開口。451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡee3iDcoahF
451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhIu6xAzUly
「是我媽媽的遺物。」451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBe6RnFJTUe
451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ383qcBHyZ3
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。451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡICqooCLeUS
451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV6C5cXLVDF
「咦……？那為什麼會在墨駒的手裡呀？」杜若不假思索地問道。451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡii8nlYtDgq
451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkIVad7fFwC
「我也不知道。」紫藤搖搖頭，黯然地闔上雙眼。451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8as8rIKlUi
451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWajOPnpMSX
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。451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡODoc5DkRkN
451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfbvOlqEiVN
「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：451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡExxjM0x6Lv
451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMT2ZIydCkK
「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。」451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrCDp9BnJiZ
451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9vUtHscNNy
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。451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlBVlCnEaW8
451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6hJy4eS1qs
「這就是那時候、他們從媽媽的身上搶走的東西之一。」451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOLC1l9a9oM
451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdD3Dsnm34J
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。451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM4WeT73eCA
451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnBDlId2hUt
從那時起，濺在臉上的那朵紅花就已經在紫藤的心頭生根。451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡakplzzbPIr
451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFZRdo8qA6j
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。451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLqofyrOOdh
451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIw36Uqca5n
「原來……這是對紫藤來說這麼重要的東西啊。」451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnBHyah5WA5
451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaf4Kj76QP5
「嗯。」紫藤在胸前連同戒指握緊了拳頭。451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyFoGXLFddw
451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr0ngbrv5yh
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。451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoiqCKBfjn4
451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFN0CbzO1ss
自己已經不想要再失去任何東西了。451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQsMIaz9HyL
451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx2KoT5D80S
「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。451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDqyg4GjJdp
451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5PxZrqkqjD
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。451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH8gNqk8w7S
451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT00z76fiPe
「媽媽他——」451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLjaIMX9FxK
451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYu94VBnO91
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。451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF6yFInFTrw
451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡClkwbZZ17q
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」。451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjXaAFhuyw2
451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhANRE8pxdi
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。451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKk5FT6u2HW
451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ4VNQyuLLE
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。451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzUPWTRjAUD
451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi4OPIbEeHn
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。451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlfVJv0XQfz
451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEcSMQ8Mzmt
但紫藤一點都不喜歡學校。451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwFyx09RifJ
451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGUFFLmvGEK
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。451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHqI0HJLsGN
451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO7f4p8o8nS
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。451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7wnFVyxGKV
451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvwmLVAWjkL
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。451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRT1AD8w7pm
451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwh1OaRAXor
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。451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgTVqgVlMrF
451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfyEp76icOj
嗯，這樣就夠了。那時的紫藤只有這麼單純的滿足。451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWX5HksKrzG
451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0MtqwvDTKM
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。451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzPqdJ3E68H
451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTe8LX7nYW2
那是一起倒塌事件。451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQyftcdzdZt
451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6ban1PkIhd
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。451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtD8HXQSpB0
451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA1N66M2i8c
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。451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyrBQGkJSOR
451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡytdalkOVrJ
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。451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5vVfciFaxs
451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3K18GDbNzj
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。451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3t6AnhEeF3
451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrBwPrH5xVK
「……我會找到給墨駒這個戒指的人。」451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ8ZWKyo1Qy
451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ6b0P5XCyB
收起回憶，紫藤再次握緊了戒指。451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK6rgrkmzdL
451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQBlnwhpH7Q
「然後，殺了他。」451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwSzoFdrW0H
451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPdjCHSDnpC
紫藤的眼神猶如熾火，沒有一分一毫的搖曳。451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0PM8zOehSM
451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrRYmxoYjY9
但只不過幾秒，便很快地萎靡了下來。451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡToWJHRYVeB
451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoVGPHFYm5n
「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。」451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaMfeXlsxCv
451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo1SUYSEh4J
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。451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCPHDL5NFae
451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpcXr1ocOhG
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。451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy8JjBrhAiU
451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZd9lfDymBL
「原來、這就是紫藤想要跟我一起行動的原因呀。」451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrf6cc8jWYE
451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6wimbsaGl8
「……嗯。」451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8TZARD3uZ2
451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVrzIhEDs5i
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。451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkJGni2dQCy
451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡglgz3SKOZ8
紫藤深信，這就是自己向那些骯髒禽獸復仇的楔子。451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7aigRakG0g
451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8ijUfMOTgv
這就是足以斬斷自己心頭那朵紅花的白刃。451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6CZxr1gPc7
451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡROdTzK8J2V
「……杜若妳呢？」451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5I1JJFn4mF
451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNwxuDMRGvL
紫藤拾起快要滿溢的情感，回望了杜若那如新月般的雙眸。451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkpIFuL1UkR
451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3kpTVUReO1
「又是為什麼……會開始當殺手？」451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOlVhQJXbQs
451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKV7sK6OZ0l
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。451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3TQMZyBXCq
451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUnQQg1l05F
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。451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8MJS2WAjXP
451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5TvL4BRWrZ
「紫藤……不會生氣吧？」451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQUGGfUmNvw
451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4NRtDbKgoF
杜若果然還在意著那時自己的衝動。451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfwyVyoiddH
451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu5BTN5PCNE
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。451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ31gqAhY6BC
451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ74rOVl1v9W
「不會。」紫藤堅定地說：「我保證。」451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP3GKBmLczB
451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9Z9QTgp1SU
等到紫藤緩緩收起手後，杜若才按著胸口，下定決心地開口。451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxZxpITTghh
451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ82Z1jrW0AT
「……我想要救陶壺叔。」451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIsgTsgtTFr
451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsFTT47ZaCy
杜若喃喃吐出的回答令紫藤感到十分意外。451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlbT6kQgUXm
451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdf876qtFTp
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？451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCJjfsAe3Ro
451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo61m3MSHs7
就好像發現了紫藤的疑惑，杜若幽幽地繼續說道：451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUwb3pt1GEJ
451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0qOAzmdzPr
「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。」451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNnANBfZE9n
451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡofE8tY58qH
全身慢慢就會不能動的病？451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3uUzL4xZpm
451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCrXi0oueNG
這種病紫藤是頭一次聽見。451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMoii1KC4QO
451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡelLcNvgPam
「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。」451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuKn2d1ThNL
451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEsnb4DLSyq
「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。451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8UK5C9VVI3
451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡizRjJ5tMek
「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。」451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLdtVQ1cRjg
451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdwSeWO7DaX
杜若的笑只看得見無力。451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSW56oms3YG
451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKg06WW3x4E
「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。」451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡArjMZdrufC
451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRCwYaD5jIr
到這裡，杜若便沒有繼續說下去了。451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4eknEIJFOH
451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBphkwObktt
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。451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgAfHt5Bk6w
451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFRpLGTmx8g
然而，紫藤卻忍不住想要質疑的念頭。451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkWtTJWfXS3
451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHWiT0752oQ
「那個狐狸、真的就這麼值得相信嗎？」451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5i78fjP2ET
451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ98apiUI7bO
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。451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhVgnnanCPG
451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQsnHx3fpBR
「……狐狸一直都對我很好呀。」451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBEy4CeZlZX
451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFoYVp7j65O
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。451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6IiV2jMLNV
451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1RbIe15IJh
「所以，我還是相信狐狸。」451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPX0YOj3ZqU
451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLA4AWjM0I5
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。451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzbgAYSJBif
451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuZ50ISairj
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。451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOL4leRPtAH
451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKroNKFZeWs
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。451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb7OtiasgMn
451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2ZcNVSIvIE
哪怕、就算那道光芒是朝自己射出的子彈也一樣。451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRbxoFGqApt
451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxVLQ4h1cUc
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？451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXtsNkvEdJm
451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEBaCZNSdtF
這怎麼可能。451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXTV5ZKmcb2
451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxkrCtYClgv
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。451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡywwtvM5cC6
451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkiSIOqico0
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。451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTm4M4UylpV
451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu6qze2FNlt
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。451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfJQ0omdNHc
451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRYHeNbk3C5
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。451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡieVwpMEsvx
451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnvZ0tX08Bl
察覺到掌心的柔軟，杜若看著紫藤靦腆地一笑。451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡANr8SzwLKo
451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3bk5oyUMGl
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451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaVUfMrIZwV
451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcqqRRyo2fe
「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。451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXBtskjpcto
451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF2xVIArEmN
「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！」451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAu2eDOF4zq
451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBvUS8uwraw
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。451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVXdXa0Dshh
451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTho8CPeCEE
「不過，果然還是不能夠靠沙華會的人呢。」451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxjPAwKl5h4
451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2e9OzBqDya
經過剛才被反擊的經驗，讓兩人都對這點有了更多的共識。451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmweYXLNcKz
451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ01WZNSBYWN
說了句「話說回來」後，杜若就一轉話鋒、向紫藤問道：451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqqIZfDbJit
451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8u3X3RdiAM
「紫藤想要殺掉的人又是誰呀？紫藤還記得嗎？」451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqgityzqM5r
451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGp2q5Cqk6Z
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。451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr9bzlgnm3k
451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgXva7wXHKQ
「是一個……在脖子後面紋著白色線條的沙華會紋身的人。」451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDQYP2auQGK
451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvVrdfPAAKY
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。451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjqKIxUMUQZ
451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoqr06oydY2
「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。」451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5HR2F526jh
451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSnpbxlBcak
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。451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoFwNnTe9pf
451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj6TEoOJ3ZS
「這樣的話，我也來幫忙吧！」杜若自告奮勇地舉高手：451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYwlC90WP19
451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0oJHqc0O5n
「兩個人一起找絕對比較快的！」451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlbY2yJSklC
451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAlR2dqOoAf
杜若的模樣、讓紫藤晚了一步才發現自己說錯了話。451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXjqXv15wbl
451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsUzEYjLfll
紫藤默默地低下頭、沉聲回答。451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXD8L7XMYTm
451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFUD2TvsZWl
「……不用那樣。我……我自己就夠了。」451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh9wGBQ27Vu
451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvBL4cUy09e
這冷淡的回答讓杜若頓時像被潑了水的貓咪似地一愣。451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfxQTifdNoY
451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeCSGyIRUbD
「可是、紫藤不是說到現在都……」451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAdDGNCFnOB
451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkelRbLhR53
「這本來就是我自己的事。」451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmOvoRZvpXS
451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXDyrtDf3Ie
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。451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZvpplcKfRT
451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGUOs2mdvT3
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。451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrtpA0wtGDX
451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMtgjh3CuZW
「那要是紫藤遇到危險怎麼辦！」倏地，杜若站起身、提高音量451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4XoXRtDc84
451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZFk2RSvPew
「我就是為了保護自己，才會去學習要怎麼搏鬥。」451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt9hQWl96Nq
451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhTQHveGs4z
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。451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGSPkY4YN0d
451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmGplCCyPhO
「可是、假如對方有槍、假如遇到像今天一樣的事……」451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbCsYLCRkdp
451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo1J3A1qrVg
「我是不會讓自己被殺死的。」451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3peGUjN3s7
451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAJXNZz545O
「紫藤明明就傷成這樣、還說這種話……！」451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡakxzyOvYa9
451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGMeDJYgxv3
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。451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWhm7EoYoxw
451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtBBO0oYP1l
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。451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp189GqfJC2
451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUfzKgYCTa0
杜若雖然想甩開，但卻在一半就失去了力氣。451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyumR6MWAyo
451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIoOEEQwExM
「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……」451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfs0BACXl9L
451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7nr0UPiQub
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。451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo5Un6g0053
451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQj63YByCIX
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？451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtKmfJMHGLq
451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXqwTy8YpzS
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。451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKBkXf68ElS
451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpTqwH2IYOH
最後，紫藤還是用了奸詐的說法。451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4X2Abe6EAZ
451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUolTpK6fla
「我跟陶壺叔約定過，說不會讓妳受傷了。」451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGKDvfpakmF
451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9G9bW5RV4q
「那難道紫藤要我看著妳受傷嗎？」451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgGpDY4gaSv
451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOT6Hfj913p
雖然夾雜著鼻音、但這句話卻如此強而有力。451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgleGPtNqoE
451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMi8gC0BEN5
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。451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbanAPebwXJ
451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpWzswVMxDy
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。451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡImmJoFvluv
451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu4R74aBGDc
而紫藤打算再在杜若的身上再添一層相同的痛苦嗎？451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdZFOjq4mf3
451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjhcyL3fs93
紫藤無法回答，只是沉默地別開了視線。451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZckbS6H9KX
451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRVorwZigpk
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？451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmaTF0qJMDA
451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVzAQirYEZr
哪條路都是崎嶇，哪條路也都是痛苦。451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQgT1mv7QCl
451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeLcTtNj0a3
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？451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2cCZEL7nx1
451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlWVU4hEaQG
只因為就連接受也是痛苦吧。451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV2paFn6GvZ
451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYRPEI6UXo2
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？451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyQrmH0HrZr
451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKjhT5Lcyci
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。451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyHzEH6cckV
451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKWuR35cPy9
思及至此，紫藤才慢慢地放鬆了手中的力道。451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsJZ2GLizDK
451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUKsaNOxWdR
「答應我、要先保護好妳自己。」451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe9qdwz4D7D
451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9TNGrESCTH
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。451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAU0gSJKyvT
451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0fT9zXp92b
「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。451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXjDo99jfLN
451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaLC0LazXP4
「所以，我的份就用來保護紫藤吧！」451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxXkGXVY2kz
451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡauibacELqS
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。451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe5hd0fAa9l
451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjaAS9inK2P
「喔喔！紫藤笑了耶！」451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF3WcPdWiam
451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAYKvhWyOkl
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。451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIa5Gotya3a
451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwUX7CONjJF
「哇啊啊——！對不起！」杜若立刻慌張地放下手來。451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBbBQ9ZxbsU
451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6iRM50QjT7
疼痛雖然還沒散去，但紫藤還是發自內心地笑了。451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6l55qDMmec
451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW6JICardK2
「……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？」451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡffJ1UCMmq5
451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiB9Izo8uI2
「咦？」這提議讓紫藤也感到意外地眨了眨眼。451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbXdoAsCe0S
451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOMobO4OOEe
「雖然是我自己猜的……不過狐狸應該很擅長找人吧。」451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkPFT2dXSjq
451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkIZGGJcLya
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。451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSUtyBLa58K
451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ1HCJABQBl
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。451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2vi3Ao0k6m
451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6zJEjIsZGI
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。451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV2MWAEELYF
451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg404e889WE
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？451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbPZL2bPbYU
451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEoV0NO9Xek
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？451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ41LqhHC3GR
451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7GaJMIx115
「那……可以幫我跟狐狸說說看嗎？」451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaUXA5fbS4t
451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuhP8wJVHwo
「當然呀，這是我提議的嘛～」杜若自信地抱起手臂、挺起胸膛。451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd2k5LejaVL
451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhDNnU1omMr
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。451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkBK0J4EOkR
451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlLX2Cini4U
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。451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnAD0KsLS3G
451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlU16OTnm5m
「妳的傷……換我幫妳吧。」451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgENCp5RTyb
451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3U6rAW5XfO
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。451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLJw3Tgx9Tb
451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9QewrRuKko
「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。451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2unZhpxqNK
451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz2aOypEjVm
「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。451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzmCF3dgAt3
451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRVgZW8vHYD
「撕得開來嗎？」杜若看著紫藤有些僵硬的動作，有所顧慮地問。451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtP7r3gYhkL
451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcsp2k34czk
「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。451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNOTtfaG3ET
451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbI0xo8jKfb
「……好了。換膝蓋吧。」451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDelkSBqgYc
451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrjylSK8JUb
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。451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcmcYUg9yCn
451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv1noMVWCWJ
「我臉上有什麼嗎？」紫藤不解地偏過頭。451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE1y3uaZz8B
451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡduI3SyeQGO
「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：451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvRSKBAJXfP
451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5ixYMjkTpn
「只是覺得紫藤認真的模樣……果然好帥喔。」451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZEELG7TSdC
451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡull8PTIsxl
突如其來的稱讚，令紫藤頓時耳根一熱。451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTbEcNdJ1sA
451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpFmT56xqbL
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？451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnjthYRCezq
451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZZVYQ15owf
「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：451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhWWgbVZ8Z6
451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxOa4gM6lII
「謝謝……」451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfWQ5Dln5r2
451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhLBmVuH4T2
「嗯？」451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi5sKXdQm7B
451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpZVA0uxn4o
「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……！」451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡri1hWr7QUt
451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfVyw2IwOTL
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。451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5k6ihVN4ub
451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXqnmtVW45C
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。451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYP3vXT3B0C
451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSbjZ8QFKom
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。451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQiX0J9ajR2
451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWLQF4LJOCW
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。451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAhW6HJtpUw
451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhu6NEKrRau
「稍微……稍微彎起來一點。」451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYO68u8okM6
451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZAYSK1wuVw
「這樣？」451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXEobCZZ0OA
451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiyA9lZGE2k
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。451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR56kbk34UT
451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc8p3S1uXcv
「……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。451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8j0CxYI54P
451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq4jFOW6GEH
於是紫藤收起醫療用品，起身將箱子放回原位。451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuJ8Jj0CnOs
451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcxc5Vl7J9b
「對了，剛才紫藤提到的事件……」451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX50gvlnHd4
451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6MKBB52H2Y
就在要踏出房門的時候，杜若忽然想到了什麼似地開了口。451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNgm1cOiQzx
451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRsyWI3eLcR
「事件、是倒塌事件嗎？」451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvb1zlgq69y
451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHF8ikDa6VC
「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。451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8KFalOvLyT
451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS4gJ84eBN1
「怎麼了嗎？」看見杜若的模樣，令紫藤擔心地走了回去。451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJHo2b4Jzzm
451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKznMPOJe9C
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。451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBYicH2o0rh
451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFL0VGVjY1l
「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！」451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXTmNp7We79
451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhHQvv8IjYY
紫藤雖然感到疑惑，卻還是沒有多問地走出了房間。451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7zOeBofmKm
451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIEvf6ldJG9
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。451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvpwuHbwUSN
451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmN3r1qkZm6
「我們……好像弄錯順序了耶。」451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTTDf3YVMEA
451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQO5ZFAT38V
「……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。451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVjcmQJmvSW
451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSTIZqxXYbk
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。451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg5SZ2Gxbqf
451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEEjQ7VTqLd
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。451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7Voelk1Umz
451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTlSZp2Lu3k
「紫藤需要我幫忙嗎？」451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNPRhIyGjf6
451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoWMeAWlfdj
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。451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtTosdkwGoZ
451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVK6U5tptIA
「我、我自己來就可以了……」451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzu6LivVHBx
451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIAINIPsO2Y
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。451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxAxOISNA8U
451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7iFKxKDCWg
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。451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPJeZdqxq46
451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyNbrV4TMTV
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。451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ768hIbZTEL
451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhR0udFFfAN
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。451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcIsKRGwQmp

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。451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeAvPyDN2rd
451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkxkHV9igWg
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？451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4kotLRvl1S

「……紫藤。」451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPd0gchSEmL
451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCIAVVd1kH1
「怎麼了？」451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmGIsZbJfPJ
451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi4odVH5SyA
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。451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaaDa3JYOlp
451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF94qBO0gFK
「紫藤說、會一直在我身邊……我可以相信紫藤吧？」451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFATLjcNp4i
451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfms21gMmqD
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。451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmIV1oibuu0
451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjPg668PaTv
紫藤伸出手輕蓋在了杜若的後腦，卻沒有辦法就這麼點頭。451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCU2YMJbkIK
451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTt7MmxlVMW
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？451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0TEy6lnm4m
451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsTCJYliy3C
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。451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg4SUgH2gEs
451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7z6DR7YsQx
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。451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWHutLmTo9b
451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDE0j9tUZXO
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？451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNRFVW2MVr0
451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzAXYV8ARy9
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。451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ4rycHzXBc
451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa7qLxsjItr
不過紫藤現在就在這裡。451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ36KDTZwnua
451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPqOhfa5sX8
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。451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuOSdOz8CPA
451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhzxCq0qRaR
於是、紫藤探出指頭，用指腹輕貼上了杜若的臉頰。451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzOyUhYO2ga
451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz8XgH8a3mb
「……我會試著做到的。」451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡloNvncS9ks
451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYG6AuTX7Bc
「什麼嘛……」聽見這不乾脆的回答，杜若便沒輒地笑了。451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHnyQwkjg8i
451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxtTooiwNeT
「不過……我相信紫藤喔。」451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYsryRvNWyi
451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2Irp9xo0mw
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。451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBOAWOLzv2t
451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8k2kKXApuM
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。451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3ZG3KaPkzv
451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9gfaJRI2vU
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。451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwT8yXmbilj
451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwWiZPIPTSn
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。451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDGhbrX2nzz
451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEsCc8JzjnR
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。451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzT7g2MoKUB
