迴響的隆隆聲如同夢境般遠去。451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaNnuIcA7O3
451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt1bESNgoqP
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcaMQgGqFAf
451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMGsCfvDUtV
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzgayAJoNSb
451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLzwi3CLKxQ
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNp12uDV2Go
451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOZ6L8zjLtq
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1PR1GMR1l8
451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbebqb21GqE
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvsEaoVXex4
451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvxbPIurpDU
「走吧。我們一起回去。」451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡihtyj5182G
451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA19enDQI6C
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7UizEcDrbf
451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7NFuI5fMPa
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNMehgzBOdw
451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKd0cmGbvO9
為了處理傷口，杜若讓紫藤靠到了床板上頭。451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYdcBD6KCG3
451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCsZjwEpjAG
「嗚……！」451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIXWECJM5Mw
451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfM9pRF62v3
消毒藥水碰到傷口的劇痛，讓紫藤吃痛地叫出悶聲。451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVgNB0W7las
451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ8C1GdpzX7
「很痛嗎……？」杜若停下動作，擔憂地看向紫藤。451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSAOF45kN0b
451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPki6mlbrI7
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdp3vMA6gDi
451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdUmC4E4UPX
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡevHtTAjSOV
451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrWB8bEItkt
「……我還可以忍。」說完，紫藤打直手臂。451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxqn4ojjtlO
451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6A7S1cK2iT
杜若點點頭，卻宛如做錯了事一般地垂下眼簾。451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGA21dakLkd
451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkUyxwEkNQ5
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2K696CDfFs
451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3Qsq1dj2R9
「那、再忍耐一下就好。」451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3Bt2bzu0Qr
451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbD7BxAHJ7T
「呼、呼……嗚——！」451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk8bXiPldg7
451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiP3w4Df9O8
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrI4JOSk8EZ
451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkgPu7q1eag
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBgpGmWc85q
451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡftEW5Jt9aS
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVrymL1K5S1
451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG52HK2Psrm
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfUPrWUip6b
451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeV2lVLj9iG
「還要喝嗎？」杜若捧著還有一半的水杯，輕柔地問。451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfWieOJolQV
451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOM61YeCeXd
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqNteODaROC
451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLU69cBwc4g
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJgQATfD0qj
451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdHNZeXEdLy
「……謝謝。」451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh19NaoQZ89
451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9chvFsmlLl
「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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzSIZFlcPuk
451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdnQGr3zfbu
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIcEStB1R4m
451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhnhPf6egIL
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ19Q0t4wf9e
451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRVZMPjRKDV
不過，這無疑都是事實。451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrzYyPWDdDf
451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1DM8tFCL0O
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqhYTn7mqgO
451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnWzyhtoxcb
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrGzGdvJWGJ
451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDiq5yOIf0p
「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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡipYqDU8TEA
451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlGFsHSSXzp
沉默了半晌，紫藤才慢慢地開口。451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdysrKApGDI
451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY1zoMfmQUa
「是我媽媽的遺物。」451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3s4l15uuGY
451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU8ubukjSwi
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnpDgnWzVqY
451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVk2jijFYTJ
「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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGwDEQC71Gs
451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUb6g2IpYHT
「我也不知道。」紫藤搖搖頭，黯然地闔上雙眼。451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNd2KDfDn5t
451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKDZLTdrcPo
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwyUuBXAnUc
451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWZ7kmhso3s
「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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl4tarYIqic
451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7kLZtHwKxU
「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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQahDCD5knU
451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2ky22eJjLz
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6cXSQr3s1J
451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw3lCjv6TRQ
「這就是那時候、他們從媽媽的身上搶走的東西之一。」451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6xphqLaOMx
451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzVeDkXJK8Y
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKhu0uRaKGO
451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0Y78OBAPH5
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmL8gQuM8Qa
451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqeVwh8Rpgy
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiY5rWY58wG
451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiAwMrmeaFL
「原來……這是對紫藤來說這麼重要的東西啊。」451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJwJ0tPLbzO
451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡscRLS7A0Lk
「嗯。」紫藤在胸前連同戒指握緊了拳頭。451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM8xmoPpCVE
451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6v5gZyHLH5
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2w1sxS0KZx
451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzMWfGi1lv3
自己已經不想要再失去任何東西了。451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeKQ8jgoKA1
451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6dZowJuk8L
「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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwF5xee9ZvJ
451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcsh3B0vNqT
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFbAbCgSdZ0
451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOLJ8UkoRk5
「媽媽他——」451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqtvSxjG8ZW
451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxx1rclhQq2
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuRURWjTA46
451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGu5Cl1A1mo
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoL7RSNnAC6
451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVTQeXgkQWy
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaDi0x8wtbt
451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCnXeorOQ2k
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqQgJJQLg2S
451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiefcfGsVbK
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvAVV2CsHHW
451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqLPVGfAHur
但紫藤一點都不喜歡學校。451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjuQ9A0fQW9
451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWvWFZaNBJG
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXAx0vOpGay
451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUHPaex0Bnl
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz5fPYllS5n
451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn3StAT9J15
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ829fkOH5BY
451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3V1Ba5HM0Z
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ95HnQUuboB
451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8q8BamqqVv
嗯，這樣就夠了。那時的紫藤只有這麼單純的滿足。451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡigywUnwoCT
451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR4xjpYwsn5
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6BPxfv8JA5
451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTmydPfvowN
那是一起倒塌事件。451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCSwuzqBifl
451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMTdAvugiUY
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdByaZc7IQI
451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEq9d1PDVt8
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmg0Dys5CpB
451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2UlwHgCmiV
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbfLczlYyuH
451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy96D8t5nG8
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡijW3f4kkz6
451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF2XtHQT2JX
「……我會找到給墨駒這個戒指的人。」451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtLPUL2aAzv
451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE9P6oKdbOC
收起回憶，紫藤再次握緊了戒指。451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiOMYA0o9Tl
451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgHIYJGnn8I
「然後，殺了他。」451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ11B9yzRvMg
451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ67ZErR03ke
紫藤的眼神猶如熾火，沒有一分一毫的搖曳。451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyjAUZ7Gff9
451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEmjISWafJR
但只不過幾秒，便很快地萎靡了下來。451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUvKU9y6eJE
451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw4pjWZ3CoO
「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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzDlE2FKG2o
451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAUnbsXDSbZ
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeEZJfzSTiq
451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrv7IY872p5
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhrTYyot6qk
451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlz2w8R9ajE
「原來、這就是紫藤想要跟我一起行動的原因呀。」451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGbAODvx6Vr
451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcVoQvn2R4V
「……嗯。」451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAw6iCPgj7S
451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHe1AW0OJuS
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOMx1sf3FW4
451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6pTMMWCKmr
紫藤深信，這就是自己向那些骯髒禽獸復仇的楔子。451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtbxIUgCrSx
451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQoBspeGsTy
這就是足以斬斷自己心頭那朵紅花的白刃。451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNCqspKc3TW
451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ59M9IiZUf
「……杜若妳呢？」451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIByPEtUgrA
451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsjKW5YMu3L
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDSNeRD5BfI
451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHBi0RLF76N
「又是為什麼……會開始當殺手？」451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAvlgE355MB
451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU18LVQh3rI
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd01e8kQ1Tf
451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbLq3PMUG5Z
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIsgo1fTDQT
451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQeEtHOVZf9
「紫藤……不會生氣吧？」451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLp6ryeDjBU
451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO9r4BKKceZ
杜若果然還在意著那時自己的衝動。451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcK6mIBMll5
451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYvSTG2JIAX
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGTJdV97Hdk
451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcPe9obMtqt
「不會。」紫藤堅定地說：「我保證。」451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvP8G8Fpk2g
451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ17e5OBtClQ
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3gWfz7mlH3
451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYx97iNWnbG
「……我想要救陶壺叔。」451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡut3gBVfmvR
451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡII5FxFM1M6
杜若喃喃吐出的回答令紫藤感到十分意外。451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf1miJCu2Pi
451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU32NdGbG0H
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡliSuNdTSGA
451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡodCV8tRzK7
就好像發現了紫藤的疑惑，杜若幽幽地繼續說道：451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDu5fWVu93D
451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8KNJPUWoCZ
「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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcjoyApGQ4j
451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvWDtAG5H9N
全身慢慢就會不能動的病？451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbOvwv44Hws
451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDJklKqQBJW
這種病紫藤是頭一次聽見。451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6lrT8ZwmtY
451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZMo7zoq9Ek
「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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv02v5emsMF
451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM3U9jtPLqw
「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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRez6CTuxAi
451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxR9N3iTOn0
「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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡahs6OPBgQw
451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHGOHGmC5i8
杜若的笑只看得見無力。451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMIixyRRDWE
451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB3553d3aKc
「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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5hC2nzCV62
451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnXuRLBoM6a
到這裡，杜若便沒有繼續說下去了。451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJz9ViIN6N6
451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeNGmQlunwY
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFQmFuLaSsF
451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwfIPlpouxt
然而，紫藤卻忍不住想要質疑的念頭。451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvIUGdu9Irx
451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIljHxmRf9N
「那個狐狸、真的就這麼值得相信嗎？」451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHrxrSusC96
451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9cAW2GXA8E
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO4BkXyXAsy
451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyiUoiHN9UJ
「……狐狸一直都對我很好呀。」451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6UuviefwTd
451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMymwnrxn6t
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaoGaYlBQ7l
451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡapueiz0ZA6
「所以，我還是相信狐狸。」451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyh9KeZOyNU
451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPFUkKng9cy
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrlKCCASOfh
451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKMors4vVk4
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGJ30NZCgzE
451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCeXXvZfOhd
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6tNh7MRqDN
451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsCwoM2PgXK
哪怕、就算那道光芒是朝自己射出的子彈也一樣。451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDVDnyOSW24
451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs4YNGEbKgJ
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtqjX1qEXEJ

這怎麼可能。451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZfMyAIEKda
451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA1QybN9Kub
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHB7HLrFmvC
451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡefNmxardOR
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA2gk0504j9
451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjPyUZEJgdB
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4biNcM0yMj
451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXOIvLyrieV
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkOKfKlAFnu
451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLkbjXVrU9e
察覺到掌心的柔軟，杜若看著紫藤靦腆地一笑。451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFAkhZ3U3DW
451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYXwxcgrpcG
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnZ2wBsgatv
451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhBMOuElohm
「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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnHdsFXWLty
451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMksRNMHzuQ
「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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzF962vXsKO
451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvmmHhp3zdA
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWVIldxvA0D
451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcNUc2VUL4B
「不過，果然還是不能夠靠沙華會的人呢。」451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLqcKME7sgp
451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcRUKnHHUox
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf4MndCIaIJ
451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7KVuBDduSF
說了句「話說回來」後，杜若就一轉話鋒、向紫藤問道：451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk1Wtc6IR8a
451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp2Q81WjN1b
「紫藤想要殺掉的人又是誰呀？紫藤還記得嗎？」451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcnLGPVde3P
451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8KaVJ3hsnx
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0LoRlqwpeA
451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRCUpM3aXFC
「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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFRqaXh7xn9
451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPkbnnEcmY5
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ24wIbL5yBu
451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkTKsXmapNt
「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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh7JL8RMPNQ
451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWlZmlLg6FJ
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0bqMM9Pbh7
451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhTPPKljfqH
「這樣的話，我也來幫忙吧！」杜若自告奮勇地舉高手：451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm01cTxD9Ru
451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0TLoejSNOo
「兩個人一起找絕對比較快的！」451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyBUToHwTrc
451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNtLYeIbmjw
杜若的模樣、讓紫藤晚了一步才發現自己說錯了話。451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpwJZRZ5mLi
451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkFnNBsY49C
紫藤默默地低下頭、沉聲回答。451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7Jdvi6rTxG
451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwqLYxblAFZ
「……不用那樣。我……我自己就夠了。」451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoW6WMU7Soi
451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxKTm11M05h
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzJR9osyC8G
451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3hNgoN1K40
「可是、紫藤不是說到現在都……」451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdjgwJI4wNW
451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡifOX5hn8yd
「這本來就是我自己的事。」451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBpUxcwUDbQ
451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpVoY20QJ8g
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡigJp5eJV6U
451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPd0CgL0ljS
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz974HCTv6P
451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlfL5qyaT96
「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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZkEDMnhogV
451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMUojXkUzLm
「我就是為了保護自己，才會去學習要怎麼搏鬥。」451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTeSFRhS4Dt
451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeffVkf61Pv
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF3ISfmfvy7
451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdmJs7U2Pnw
「可是、假如對方有槍、假如遇到像今天一樣的事……」451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqfGJLGtw4f
451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjPXDbG6VNw
「我是不會讓自己被殺死的。」451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmS1ABu9uyL
451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbGxE1SX4jA
「紫藤明明就傷成這樣、還說這種話……！」451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9KvNsNaFwd
451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqzKo2BkC1c
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdjsOJ0qmQd
451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTYlejF6DdD
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjnxUPGXo7U
451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTO5HPrzovv
杜若雖然想甩開，但卻在一半就失去了力氣。451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTm8VOcvHhO
451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvt0428JFiA
「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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmVjHjdE768
451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlDgor8ysJ7
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbr1g8GV2YU
451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡay3nrczHTe
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPRvgciDi32
451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOBYzkPnk6v
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgI2gnwUdIZ
451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVBh3zjHKWG
最後，紫藤還是用了奸詐的說法。451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzoCd06vfdB
451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq30pHL71jm
「我跟陶壺叔約定過，說不會讓妳受傷了。」451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKG1loyNxzb
451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ34gL73MeiQ
「那難道紫藤要我看著妳受傷嗎？」451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2npsNHIKko
451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6JW9jTlLRB
雖然夾雜著鼻音、但這句話卻如此強而有力。451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3weJIszSoT
451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbpYYbOsHQc
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPQZE25WC4G
451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp90CLMGYFG
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2UCiXtMYXk
451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLMk3FN0A22
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZVKZR2F5Bb
451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAWnlw2Z3sr
紫藤無法回答，只是沉默地別開了視線。451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcaohMtbfX8
451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZcx31cijmu
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbmRc32EywE
451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyuSkNvKk5o
哪條路都是崎嶇，哪條路也都是痛苦。451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCSVT893Lwy
451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDg1Jrr5BvM
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP48U34oMfj
451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbh5gzqjFHB
只因為就連接受也是痛苦吧。451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoMoK3eBQMR
451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2jni2MwRMy
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgQb4Ae0HPy
451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbpeESTmKdG
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5rwjrkBOE8
451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYiuTu6s6aH
思及至此，紫藤才慢慢地放鬆了手中的力道。451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHvTAYb3blT
451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxwD3NkFAJF
「答應我、要先保護好妳自己。」451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZk6pZMm3t0
451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgRMo20VeBC
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBWIzWEG8GA
451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgOA2MX8aId
「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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ77YHdqi4XM
451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtqQHpVBdqi
「所以，我的份就用來保護紫藤吧！」451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQSA57yJdTl
451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe6qoQKlhuX
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0Lue1DTWJP
451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiWMGGpwbP7
「喔喔！紫藤笑了耶！」451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXf5NofoY5h
451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu9sgWeJRzZ
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM3IWZ0Uj5J
451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtthQxmrQ9B
「哇啊啊——！對不起！」杜若立刻慌張地放下手來。451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpscD1WQotg
451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2ajQ0VOzo1
疼痛雖然還沒散去，但紫藤還是發自內心地笑了。451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkm5D35nKWR
451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo9VDrO0N4Q
「……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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡICIJijARnk
451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkpj9vNu2sF
「咦？」這提議讓紫藤也感到意外地眨了眨眼。451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP6s0V8QRPX
451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHSckqOGOrV
「雖然是我自己猜的……不過狐狸應該很擅長找人吧。」451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH33G4TueRC
451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFB9sFRnfxj
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrAdxMZcr6E
451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQQKeTN0jgp
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx5R4tL7TJp
451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcGGIwsnXDC
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSwlcrZBVKk
451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYUJQEPQ9cm
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvf9lIkHpRX
451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfJWSozxIpF
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcjBexJiOvl
451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKfJItpPQR8
「那……可以幫我跟狐狸說說看嗎？」451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX82tIQnewk
451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcKr5dsMT65
「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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs2ZoeU2K1Y
451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ04N03FAJs1
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0p1hTxoST9
451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXu48bUkwAS
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1C2Hv65i4q
451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgOk7sby2Xo
「妳的傷……換我幫妳吧。」451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSXLkFERITr
451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEXnFQ8yXeg
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAUD9W9CZYL
451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7pfP6gdcc9
「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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWeMguGrKiP
451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9NxrBiNggp
「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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU6gWwasBai
451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTm3nDDUxxV
「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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb6awSF3wMi
451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiyCgd1OhLZ
「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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIC2WZP5kcn
451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ08BLwPk9Gq
「……好了。換膝蓋吧。」451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡywpAzj9ATT
451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnlg9MprCFS
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡziIlXTuYbr
451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZD5RKX7VtY
「我臉上有什麼嗎？」紫藤不解地偏過頭。451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnKDuLGJ1eZ
451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ99UYsJQkFB
「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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiAGuAzf2iA
451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPFc2cE4Fkw
「只是覺得紫藤認真的模樣……果然好帥喔。」451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq9sTPgm2so
451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR04GBQlE0X
突如其來的稱讚，令紫藤頓時耳根一熱。451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl6QLF6TRC1
451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeSYEfEui0D
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXuEFexgutU
451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNIsGnWxPfY
「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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNh9SfsWsV1
451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNEm4H6JXB6
「謝謝……」451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGE08QUnMJN
451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvg6lutzxPT
「嗯？」451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh5fbcFVPfe
451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEv7vu6e5Gd
「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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg1gi7GtI0n
451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsOwTOoLfw9
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqi5lfeutOb
451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP12VJBhcIS
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtX8g5CnTQ7
451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM8KadvoM3f
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7QgX4RtHmC
451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNjeXCKxr4I
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLBxbp3CUoP
451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl5q2It6hZL
「稍微……稍微彎起來一點。」451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW9zCAi5Bzb
451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡywTdTsA8Mu
「這樣？」451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWUsRtGv823
451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqb8SwnJuK7
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE7Ybqgs6vo
451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1ovgc2CRQR
「……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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPHoZdZubKz
451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoKy6KwDEP2
於是紫藤收起醫療用品，起身將箱子放回原位。451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhLKEpKRxdu
451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxxhjBlSbwT
「對了，剛才紫藤提到的事件……」451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNS8xoEYdJk
451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfj4cRDS49R
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDfquxtEm7h
451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnSTvCBXleK
「事件、是倒塌事件嗎？」451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZsT0imwxJi
451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp8A99rzEmq
「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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlb0rMQwS8h
451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWPSFKyHPga
「怎麼了嗎？」看見杜若的模樣，令紫藤擔心地走了回去。451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ7ZUrl3Zxw
451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMvKFAgdkIC
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9ZnUhu2YEH
451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkekVd8pppt
「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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYBHoXXnzgS
451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBxbAmY89II
紫藤雖然感到疑惑，卻還是沒有多問地走出了房間。451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPIdsJ0jsTq
451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeieT4ZRLVZ
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY0kRZzZuyp
451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRGT0J76JTQ
「我們……好像弄錯順序了耶。」451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnY1gBGyCBV
451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRZOKwEMvfb
「……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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ43PYlIhijp
451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlvIXVCJDo9
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmEMGAy4YNx
451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwL2MXKR9Lt
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSMfCtqSJSA
451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3XZDrR0DS5
「紫藤需要我幫忙嗎？」451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUkUPNpyXh9
451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKjS2zRk6lK
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1aU7KA9soh
451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOaBE7kVeTt
「我、我自己來就可以了……」451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOBuGhfsulc
451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwlBBFujGWP
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0VETyf2ASP
451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq80tDvPUpc
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5kaTh9gWJt
451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡltmrKMGfz6
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvhbej6TQno
451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRDvSeVx4If
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxJxATvMzC3

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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2c4535276b
451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5gdLw2SZ2e
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡALlPbpIfiN

「……紫藤。」451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMAVikrLDlZ
451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFre7fZopf2
「怎麼了？」451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbas2uGdwyk
451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm14NhgNfFc
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhBGn6PEGHB
451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMLRukftVP0
「紫藤說、會一直在我身邊……我可以相信紫藤吧？」451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG57rRyPjRJ
451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH3R8UMcc8U
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3pIT86u8TZ
451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ19mKTOx01t
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrFrQFjdY1w
451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1NBXPkUAtn
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVggbtHkxw7
451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIc7oavwxkE
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡselvujTqcT
451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbkuqUnSgv3
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBRwBKkj5ME
451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB8kBifW3Ib
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnPr7vdtQeD
451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgZAUBwHcoJ
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDCKOcoibYy
451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkpOptvj0CN
不過紫藤現在就在這裡。451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZYN4CLXIyh
451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvyuoAPd3Mz
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoiSa6QYAAL
451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjSFUQAcyVU
於是、紫藤探出指頭，用指腹輕貼上了杜若的臉頰。451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYV97uGUzan
451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8wb4hdAFno
「……我會試著做到的。」451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEt9wh9VyMl
451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRvicFVsDlt
「什麼嘛……」聽見這不乾脆的回答，杜若便沒輒地笑了。451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCAaPbu8YiD
451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo0PTTNfVv0
「不過……我相信紫藤喔。」451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfX9O4So0t8
451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj3WwGFWDDO
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFPWU9968uW
451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0uglvWlmNZ
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFnirMtpsMd
451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgVQAtb4vfh
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1193hMTB3Y
451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJq1fpCzDkV
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3vgpsJ9peI
451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT9DSCjM9Pe
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnPojchSBKE
