迴響的隆隆聲如同夢境般遠去。405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp5SUpLdlp1
405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlOOk9txpeY
從開出的小縫裡，一道狹窄的光切開了無邊無際的黑暗。405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFCUd7CR2Xd
405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDPMH1s635S
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。405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCb9Dku2T3N
405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYRclztTWku
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。405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8KeYpsKWSm
405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0fZbH2B40l
連沙華會都靜謐下來，就代表連凌晨也快要結束了吧。405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSYQn5xYums
405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfmdw9LIK8C
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。405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi2ovqFWF91
405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡndIYbPjPhr
「走吧。我們一起回去。」405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGmbAMaVb2E
405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9I91sInR4b
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。405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvd3osSceFH
405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMA2LGjXBJI
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。405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ5tQZK8M4j
405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHLoTdGUubY
為了處理傷口，杜若讓紫藤靠到了床板上頭。405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYZuFiuHgxi
405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡllP8a1llyc
「嗚……！」405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzSlcQ3xvEc
405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWjOzpAYLiq
消毒藥水碰到傷口的劇痛，讓紫藤吃痛地叫出悶聲。405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡly7Uh4aYjI
405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlNxP07FbAd
「很痛嗎……？」杜若停下動作，擔憂地看向紫藤。405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXDOfAG7k3P
405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBiOSRDMbSK
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。405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQt5t3fPNRO
405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7t7VsGIu0V
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。405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ3YWL9dBvg
405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSMqYT5X8lt
「……我還可以忍。」說完，紫藤打直手臂。405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLO2Cd0b5UV
405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwSLd8boKQz
杜若點點頭，卻宛如做錯了事一般地垂下眼簾。405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEXYfoVjg3R
405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRqhqwuytQR
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。405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ2zPds1KiJ
405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv8aYVISQNJ
「那、再忍耐一下就好。」405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk5GlpekvLA
405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyMPjsX42JY
「呼、呼……嗚——！」405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIvSg8CRLCI
405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgtdVCwcnGm
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。405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvgsI6gcOgx
405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTxUJCJZDER
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。405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgeKxBY9gOe
405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlEyBiaokoO
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。405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxg0KFxJ7rT
405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfjUzSU9doW
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。405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUVjLWLfw5V
405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlxj2cpjloN
「還要喝嗎？」杜若捧著還有一半的水杯，輕柔地問。405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkvYfDDJXS1
405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYZ848NzHRe
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。405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfqnWkudjHH
405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3ENeI4wT7q
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。405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6fI0fBYMO4
405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqM27NJSSgZ
「……謝謝。」405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxWYvq8A7sk
405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBFc4L4kVO7
「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。405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU15xmpdgj4
405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6ksDTmk27L
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。405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQI1aOd5PUP
405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI4R721DjZy
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。405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4onZ9E3iIh
405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlNX9UQ1KCj
不過，這無疑都是事實。405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPr7OjDzR7J
405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqIwmzArKE9
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。405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmovDBZWHEL
405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYN5UacRNP2
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。405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPqmp76Fvds
405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡColYEJQ4BS
「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。405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgDPrBt00g0
405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCFZaPaMhJR
沉默了半晌，紫藤才慢慢地開口。405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2xXNIPaX2Q
405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMojKl4aRz8
「是我媽媽的遺物。」405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnzANPeLhee
405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsKF9gUijaI
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。405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVZVMdBdhQX
405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqClHPd6W5j
「咦……？那為什麼會在墨駒的手裡呀？」杜若不假思索地問道。405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo8gu3xRcGX
405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPmy8lV32Y6
「我也不知道。」紫藤搖搖頭，黯然地闔上雙眼。405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3hf9tkC2fl
405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2CCvsKJWx7
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。405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxH30YW7Ufb
405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡddaJMpY9JV
「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：405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ166uYgZv8u
405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7bVUinfyTi
「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。」405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRk3VOdcOvz
405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW7nDMHDi9d
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。405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡblDCP07UPn
405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt5BFLnPJuS
「這就是那時候、他們從媽媽的身上搶走的東西之一。」405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTQNYm7Avf3
405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzvg4eDkwxj
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。405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8lmAm5tNg7
405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9qnvNPRYM3
從那時起，濺在臉上的那朵紅花就已經在紫藤的心頭生根。405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDNLS3oSCY2
405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2MU2682fXD
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。405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj8o6CYJ14y
405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnmyiNqCJ2j
「原來……這是對紫藤來說這麼重要的東西啊。」405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEg6PYgnbTy
405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZz3G4gipWB
「嗯。」紫藤在胸前連同戒指握緊了拳頭。405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5wvAZWBHZv
405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbMxUYWf8KM
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。405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe8l6h1EexS
405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF2MDO1ZmVC
自己已經不想要再失去任何東西了。405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMOKzxQTamX
405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbDpEkQspnh
「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。405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyXLERGWHGM
405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq1L0gltrQp
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。405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqlg5uj1Nsz
405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkSkjordiTv
「媽媽他——」405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCiFTpA6jMm
405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ6x4qy9RtN
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。405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz3cXz4z5si
405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXgqeInK97o
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」。405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNOeJdIdA0V
405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl24jTPnT4O
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。405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo9dEHaPX5L
405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1cCFatl25E
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。405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS0H9HRsNJr
405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFjU4E75vAn
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。405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb8JgX3Hn76
405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOiw3GERAZ0
但紫藤一點都不喜歡學校。405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN6eWEMXKnv
405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3ekKwEQrbs
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。405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPkOlbAKYN4
405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGnptwv5YMU
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。405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcwifXunSKj
405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQeUQaDq0fv
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。405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5pAEQjfrpI
405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnjubHszagb
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。405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxY3mTpOD3a
405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9Alx8VWkyd
嗯，這樣就夠了。那時的紫藤只有這麼單純的滿足。405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnBx4V7I5Eg
405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS4vt4D4C5Z
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。405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwyQHw0e5Jg
405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8PXyUoP6zy
那是一起倒塌事件。405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8P3sXgiMKJ
405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe9vMLHbfJV
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。405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeYr421cG60
405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQLBubETKe4
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。405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKuk5FSR0EJ
405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0GezY39MJZ
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。405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQuldeNB7Yc
405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKqa9RGYfvD
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。405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrH4OUyA5dU
405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1L6VCHSMKO
「……我會找到給墨駒這個戒指的人。」405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo5hFomV0hv
405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgr9666dQx6
收起回憶，紫藤再次握緊了戒指。405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzwgUaGvAO1
405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO190XsmJNc
「然後，殺了他。」405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxptB8Keck4
405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWcgHIfFEY1
紫藤的眼神猶如熾火，沒有一分一毫的搖曳。405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0sPk5WO9CX
405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNi5t50Wk82
但只不過幾秒，便很快地萎靡了下來。405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdNMK4RUYq5
405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3Pp2pTSohe
「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。」405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI6ZdcYRV5S
405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxT9b6iaDue
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。405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiF3I1hXhHE
405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHHCvWO5kbd
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。405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoix05meXso
405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4QY1kXBAuH
「原來、這就是紫藤想要跟我一起行動的原因呀。」405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYkMwZZS000
405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcgsgHCWqmG
「……嗯。」405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyJy05piQVY
405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUYLIFSCPEH
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。405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgeLwHJKnzN
405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH4O5mWbmAT
紫藤深信，這就是自己向那些骯髒禽獸復仇的楔子。405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzFJVhw9sAh
405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyrQCTZa59d
這就是足以斬斷自己心頭那朵紅花的白刃。405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSlwZ0XmqWU
405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxIugp2Nb3j
「……杜若妳呢？」405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSMCsclFVUB
405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBGc8X892wj
紫藤拾起快要滿溢的情感，回望了杜若那如新月般的雙眸。405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbYpXomLsci
405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNfsPa3DzbW
「又是為什麼……會開始當殺手？」405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQsh5nGIg4b
405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBOPWUDsGDv
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。405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8w3N4aSCEv
405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEb9QcZF0Yu
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。405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIvg5HWqj9c
405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv8z7IcFpF1
「紫藤……不會生氣吧？」405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRFohMpnF2t
405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡINTx4I4CT7
杜若果然還在意著那時自己的衝動。405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDW8OCGgmLh
405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkR81lpvi41
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。405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA2hCaMS5Br
405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF0lc4yayKq
「不會。」紫藤堅定地說：「我保證。」405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg6rpYL1qd6
405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwwWPVQFTQQ
等到紫藤緩緩收起手後，杜若才按著胸口，下定決心地開口。405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWmGrYnxZnK
405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtaK8f2JuUA
「……我想要救陶壺叔。」405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeMODeA3ZDP
405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDLnr8Po9ph
杜若喃喃吐出的回答令紫藤感到十分意外。405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡktqeWaFgY4
405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvvHlfdxZud
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？405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL6Y9uuDZj4
405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVOCKdT4MRb
就好像發現了紫藤的疑惑，杜若幽幽地繼續說道：405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsWH5k6sMSi
405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPlWuiL580N
「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。」405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeL1ov2vovH
405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfoLU6tEEGU
全身慢慢就會不能動的病？405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlonV9ZfdQw
405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOThLmBNLUK
這種病紫藤是頭一次聽見。405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbSfsDh0OmL
405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKbhfeY4ABh
「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。」405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW19OEx3afn
405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbC1duxHJW7
「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。405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7K9V0jNyLS
405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVosDgDZW6F
「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。」405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkQLLd9PD2n
405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5Lt3Zq9GsC
杜若的笑只看得見無力。405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA9huv34uJL
405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzKQnRJb2Bk
「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。」405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYeK46GYuf4
405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhQ0zCtuo2s
到這裡，杜若便沒有繼續說下去了。405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqRn6TgazGu
405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkJxSkQleRh
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。405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBFBIRVEoMZ
405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ1JZV8l9Rb
然而，紫藤卻忍不住想要質疑的念頭。405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfrb63eov7X
405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTfRHslvypk
「那個狐狸、真的就這麼值得相信嗎？」405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiF6sPdVhJt
405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOwXPmVTZlb
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。405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDYwN9zxuMc
405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWU15Vt4GQu
「……狐狸一直都對我很好呀。」405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeBuY7gML6a
405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTDN7vjUueE
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。405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYwj3yfHtfO
405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSAKObQel47
「所以，我還是相信狐狸。」405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWK0JSpw5Uo
405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkQBmvpSgJr
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。405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcYOqYeE0v7
405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrDdetrI42e
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。405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ649VCFRWpJ
405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbWjPTLm6OM
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。405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOY8bWIb03I
405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBShvcHB0Dp
哪怕、就算那道光芒是朝自己射出的子彈也一樣。405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ97irjl3VgC

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？405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO2jFTTPWmc
405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzoxSWEpJhq
這怎麼可能。405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUeJIOzBXLm
405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlb2NlRMd5c
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。405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ19cByHoptf
405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLczBwEgcNh
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。405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbKcm94O0d2
405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHYnRDymSxL
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。405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXW1n7AwnhI
405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9RyqUsA6ST
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。405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡblt3ly3F8I
405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDtfDfYsw3X
察覺到掌心的柔軟，杜若看著紫藤靦腆地一笑。405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE5iueiKtjv
405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO0hGFpDYkZ
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405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4i3qjdWco3
405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSFagc6mP7E
「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。405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJKjHHsmD3U
405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxlF9igvUqt
「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！」405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqqTmtAdR5A
405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXAbT6aUHA1
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。405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDjyTi1TyM8
405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy4gk50v1vl
「不過，果然還是不能夠靠沙華會的人呢。」405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnaCluRwXcL
405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwjyp7KL8od
經過剛才被反擊的經驗，讓兩人都對這點有了更多的共識。405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhZSEVbzJ2b
405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc6ScppSAVt
說了句「話說回來」後，杜若就一轉話鋒、向紫藤問道：405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw0p1P4ZSqg
405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3pBFKd9BXr
「紫藤想要殺掉的人又是誰呀？紫藤還記得嗎？」405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe9XUuBSJ6u
405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpfn03KF9uU
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。405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiU2WhamNpy
405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV6s1mh42F1
「是一個……在脖子後面紋著白色線條的沙華會紋身的人。」405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMU1QhSyjEb
405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuvEkrAHs1T
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。405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXGNVcQBhFg
405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqx5NjBmzwg
「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。」405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ810Yh1YHBu
405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY2BtuVTZGK
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。405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqbToi23rWo
405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGzAiLFZZxG
「這樣的話，我也來幫忙吧！」杜若自告奮勇地舉高手：405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5pdvpQYmxp
405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgJYl6ObuSQ
「兩個人一起找絕對比較快的！」405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxeYAdUsNJS
405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqWy1rlyL3I
杜若的模樣、讓紫藤晚了一步才發現自己說錯了話。405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEccw9ZbLX2
405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9zNjyXftg6
紫藤默默地低下頭、沉聲回答。405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡilbwGaKuZE
405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQeICHBdYko
「……不用那樣。我……我自己就夠了。」405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7ccMKDc75s
405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVk7XiJzv6m
這冷淡的回答讓杜若頓時像被潑了水的貓咪似地一愣。405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYcpKtkenIt
405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkwMNd3uUX9
「可是、紫藤不是說到現在都……」405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtgwJwkHL9H
405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcTAqqMNaow
「這本來就是我自己的事。」405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6lORTHBdXw
405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMyWjywdYFI
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。405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPfaOnSj2u6
405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxRP8d6YjyG
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。405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm5Z0Y5U1Ds
405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡey9SZyyblj
「那要是紫藤遇到危險怎麼辦！」倏地，杜若站起身、提高音量405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHc8l8gzAu9
405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpHXTarv4Fd
「我就是為了保護自己，才會去學習要怎麼搏鬥。」405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqJ3nKZuOKq
405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvtRCuh48Zt
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。405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFSu9QfkN4K
405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnLNVd2NLFV
「可是、假如對方有槍、假如遇到像今天一樣的事……」405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡowvoSiZ3nm
405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxaWFHzkJ2b
「我是不會讓自己被殺死的。」405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFciRRsPiRh
405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN7OHU5IRIj
「紫藤明明就傷成這樣、還說這種話……！」405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ58CrK38p1u
405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYBZWB8KcG3
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。405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIZIU5uqEK8
405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGEOF2iXoi2
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。405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡURq0ZlnhgV
405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9RBzrqzyBZ
杜若雖然想甩開，但卻在一半就失去了力氣。405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEbevkPfyrk
405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX0YdN8GkGX
「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……」405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL5FvoO476K
405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKaU4h51S2p
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。405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLIMNKP1wTb
405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuau3pn6UWo
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？405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ62clO86ViZ
405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdEElGr4BKG
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。405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAugMuDn9D2
405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfSscA9iiv0
最後，紫藤還是用了奸詐的說法。405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAwusc226Wg
405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK1Mr9GU13Z
「我跟陶壺叔約定過，說不會讓妳受傷了。」405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3dRgSVNGK1
405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpCp9iydZKu
「那難道紫藤要我看著妳受傷嗎？」405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOx3Gdy0xAI
405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7Out6S89Zd
雖然夾雜著鼻音、但這句話卻如此強而有力。405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9kEYJ9lARU
405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPxgfnlpo1j
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。405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtghkTpfQ0i
405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7cbmqXXelu
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。405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9bwMWzrP4x
405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ1YVhWPiiX
而紫藤打算再在杜若的身上再添一層相同的痛苦嗎？405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7TxI7NUDkt
405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlc1JeCmvmF
紫藤無法回答，只是沉默地別開了視線。405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf6fvbk5BXi
405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLvm2nABNot
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？405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcfpIRgJioQ
405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdvCSvS6lUF
哪條路都是崎嶇，哪條路也都是痛苦。405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsaePJIsFRz
405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2llide9on4
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？405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTKbznWNj0j
405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1WdCi7NOGE
只因為就連接受也是痛苦吧。405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwxwvSvDU17
405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCi3yjnHFQ9
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？405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU5podZ2Dzv
405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsntmXa2u9Y
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。405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡITEwTR6LYR
405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5JjSnhxphK
思及至此，紫藤才慢慢地放鬆了手中的力道。405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeKKBTYHJjL
405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwezgXgNBEo
「答應我、要先保護好妳自己。」405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfmzWm3DZrt
405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFHOUNDhU5J
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。405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdFSaVbrRMa
405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs448UCZ2WQ
「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。405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWfdTQOJagF
405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRPXaZmBDML
「所以，我的份就用來保護紫藤吧！」405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡywVfvTZUhU
405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhCiO59lF92
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。405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa3b0hIEZwv
405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡetJigAgPcJ
「喔喔！紫藤笑了耶！」405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFeoqn8hFTO
405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAvcsr9BIZ1
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。405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ93EnycPp0d
405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIw1sARekQS
「哇啊啊——！對不起！」杜若立刻慌張地放下手來。405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKymRvkRtGO
405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5NiXgeQbiN
疼痛雖然還沒散去，但紫藤還是發自內心地笑了。405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfuk9G57ags
405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv0YSUxAf1g
「……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？」405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7TGK4V0sw6
405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCX2J76N9IP
「咦？」這提議讓紫藤也感到意外地眨了眨眼。405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡadP6bOpVs0
405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgg1j2znPCR
「雖然是我自己猜的……不過狐狸應該很擅長找人吧。」405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLqwkpUrf8F
405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxEg3CfSlRC
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。405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHYfVAJLPQt
405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnFcrC5qpwZ
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。405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjVc1E8PPZy
405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvs2sNK4gS1
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。405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgpVSEXUW3v
405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnCqWIeyN1J
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？405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsZxO9dY1z1
405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXzvtCNEsKn
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？405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡADq8Rw6vBr
405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZafF6swekW
「那……可以幫我跟狐狸說說看嗎？」405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVLbiCYBB6d
405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW4fbxtO906
「當然呀，這是我提議的嘛～」杜若自信地抱起手臂、挺起胸膛。405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwLcz5OzX2M
405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhLVcGxN1b4
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。405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC05esNee9i
405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtePaUS9nFy
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。405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfouzhyIvSM
405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6XUsjhbyrU
「妳的傷……換我幫妳吧。」405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKVXIU8evO9
405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9Va3O9rGDr
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。405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0XZZV4WWsi
405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡizM2OL7JSn
「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。405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2e9ZYKB1pH
405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0ArjOMv9tB
「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。405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkftl3wDK4q
405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0QkBbJXHwD
「撕得開來嗎？」杜若看著紫藤有些僵硬的動作，有所顧慮地問。405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7cqrMctxSO
405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjAc7Lk44sZ
「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。405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡphScYUy8ti
405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvgXiYerGSe
「……好了。換膝蓋吧。」405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw7UOL2ravm
405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj0s8TA6QeP
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。405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkxOqotwi0q
405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUU52dAfIkL
「我臉上有什麼嗎？」紫藤不解地偏過頭。405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSsBcdOoUYo
405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbsQNIzCTSb
「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：405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK0L808Odcx
405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjpnKI3kqBB
「只是覺得紫藤認真的模樣……果然好帥喔。」405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYBdNvEKpNa
405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb3ayiwjjG2
突如其來的稱讚，令紫藤頓時耳根一熱。405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQOJ9TN6vF6
405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHHfQxE5TIL
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？405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy3iHXGxjYw
405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo34AfvTyJi
「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：405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVlpP05lcOd
405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCJzxJJWxG8
「謝謝……」405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJZXL6xrqV1
405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwbV6yeVj6q
「嗯？」405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKBSKYGTOiP
405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl7yiAUbBsH
「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……！」405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtdajkRzv75
405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZY0gRbtE0o
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。405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDOznJ24RGB
405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbcALTKUUyC
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。405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGO4GWUvzmt
405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfFOUROSh96
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。405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEf4VOnwbcr
405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡugwIKtEhTd
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。405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1hsZnC30a1
405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuGWU1IHxpM
「稍微……稍微彎起來一點。」405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaGflOom39Q
405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu8VHP52CgU
「這樣？」405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLXs5VIPdTZ
405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtms6QF4rHC
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。405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt9aWkxpkcm
405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrHxkcaSHBf
「……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。405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwc5mLACaN6
405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSt7Lyk2sot
於是紫藤收起醫療用品，起身將箱子放回原位。405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUZVhBWKS51
405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsdx0Kn81Zz
「對了，剛才紫藤提到的事件……」405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa3hkRK8Pi7
405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeUnbaGDJGt
就在要踏出房門的時候，杜若忽然想到了什麼似地開了口。405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLgeTi5iZgD
405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0w43Y4C5Xr
「事件、是倒塌事件嗎？」405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgSmCUmBgv6
405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaU3gZkt8Nc
「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。405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6aabzSEay9
405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKzqjAA8Hzq
「怎麼了嗎？」看見杜若的模樣，令紫藤擔心地走了回去。405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdLenODMc76
405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnX4QgDqvRz
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。405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1EdmuGFkwN
405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoSI1pB5R8c
「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！」405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLvpuiOfJ6v
405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡobPSUl1q4O
紫藤雖然感到疑惑，卻還是沒有多問地走出了房間。405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9iblimtjHT
405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQYcfyjyiE4
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。405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiuEYdOrQ3k
405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEvS4sfENga
「我們……好像弄錯順序了耶。」405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdpf0XFPixt
405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6jKs7EGrQd
「……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。405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtSool2XpIE
405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHljAMEowWT
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。405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0aWemF5IXG
405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGHEjqqJQhG
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。405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8cf4FVuSYH
405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVWZN1SDsRa
「紫藤需要我幫忙嗎？」405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBxvuEBggn5
405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXV7bPEJ5Sn
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。405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIuWkkC2yN5
405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb7rvIZLvcj
「我、我自己來就可以了……」405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyRjtuJc4yq
405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHN3qFgooQE
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。405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeZ1laJSnM4
405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT18sbqxX8B
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。405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRMCME70H2a
405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmnCNJakkGM
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。405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUmpZEKr2pQ
405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgrkM5jEsa7
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。405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL5hC05NFMF

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。405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkAfti1YqAh
405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAKfnDYCOal
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？405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXt5bjTjyBm

「……紫藤。」405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrwmbeY0lTj
405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVl1Wh5E3rD
「怎麼了？」405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXJheFUSdsS
405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkuSW9PCUit
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。405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRNKCMPO0pI
405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzOOPQXZypP
「紫藤說、會一直在我身邊……我可以相信紫藤吧？」405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBc99cWB7El
405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXo2sAtVrNv
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。405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO4ytYEgPKb
405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj3ugRu9Cd4
紫藤伸出手輕蓋在了杜若的後腦，卻沒有辦法就這麼點頭。405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNfIdYSTgvs
405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL3SLkRUZ6r
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？405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDKscVHjdxe
405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGneD3S7nTT
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。405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE1BGDa8DzH
405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrqq7YJv02o
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。405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLlvXUFcLWg
405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlR9tCI2JLc
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？405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm4i8BDife4
405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrfg7DMEDBL
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。405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSHxg7G7py4
405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8f1QlfmWGn
不過紫藤現在就在這裡。405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbSUHsKB517
405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRA92TfFcP3
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。405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNBpxHMwuP9
405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7t919GAjwo
於是、紫藤探出指頭，用指腹輕貼上了杜若的臉頰。405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoRjrALW7Dq
405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsVMlbH1xci
「……我會試著做到的。」405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJTuYle1KMB
405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkzHrCCZlb0
「什麼嘛……」聽見這不乾脆的回答，杜若便沒輒地笑了。405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9wsciILJmV
405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJB7aILs5KC
「不過……我相信紫藤喔。」405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0GAx1OiBx8
405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwTOrQr5hWo
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。405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC00GAKOkaQ
405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDExhuKfe7l
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。405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4rXpgS05hJ
405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb1ygdx71OP
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。405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ34ZdvrfDIR
405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLwZ01IpfKP
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。405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ660XbOVrpJ
405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzCHVi1Bo4k
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。405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsvLovPnHeF
