迴響的隆隆聲如同夢境般遠去。337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡScu8E7jtS6
337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQF5Xvg67Bl
從開出的小縫裡，一道狹窄的光切開了無邊無際的黑暗。337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRhcuP4vJWj
337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡidggxZbxE0
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。337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGSGG30849G
337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4cCT7rlBCq
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。337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXPl0PwAsak
337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRqMwsuAzRw
連沙華會都靜謐下來，就代表連凌晨也快要結束了吧。337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0QbWJRWvvs
337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgV5D4Gwwew
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。337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ11dbG8hPcR
337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0eERIIrZZp
「走吧。我們一起回去。」337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPSH9gGNgV4
337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJoYY8cpqB3
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。337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡevCgpr01lO
337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNCWry5fLa3
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。337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxbI7NTHLkH
337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqWPKFLCCwV
為了處理傷口，杜若讓紫藤靠到了床板上頭。337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFoeOFu7rLN
337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJPd7Fb17pA
「嗚……！」337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLBfmJP2HgB
337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaN8pJoxUVo
消毒藥水碰到傷口的劇痛，讓紫藤吃痛地叫出悶聲。337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs9oFlyg5nG
337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGqEAMAzb6u
「很痛嗎……？」杜若停下動作，擔憂地看向紫藤。337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡILUX4hw2Lx
337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhKG5coggoP
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。337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXRjWvK763g
337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAv7pysabyI
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。337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWtXY2kL4EK
337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr7VxX7fLHn
「……我還可以忍。」說完，紫藤打直手臂。337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyM1l7TGZew
337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSCyUurOQzv
杜若點點頭，卻宛如做錯了事一般地垂下眼簾。337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT3mbHhX4td
337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdVF5trmkbj
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。337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmP6Bc66Puo
337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJVh57hPFZX
「那、再忍耐一下就好。」337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxkapCoLZ44
337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyDu9TVsmkw
「呼、呼……嗚——！」337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnRWK7KGdCb
337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYPLf3bavth
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。337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrCRPceFjUY
337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0HOfLV9Vgz
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。337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeO9WI0Ybe9
337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2CMBAFOEGg
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。337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNw6PlIxEFu
337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlw4RCWnczU
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。337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJLobeD6R8t
337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwo2B41Za4e
「還要喝嗎？」杜若捧著還有一半的水杯，輕柔地問。337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsEZNrQ8oXy
337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ13c8LYkVVt
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。337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUrT96lbeEa
337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNclAJExK5d
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。337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzXuDFc2ZHF
337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAomokEHsdN
「……謝謝。」337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRREs0FPX36
337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1JLtAb5AP2
「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。337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM2lzVVJCSm
337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRTptGPiDbA
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。337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeuahDahzRy
337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4zRK8Ld4LC
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。337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡubhSReqXZB
337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpF4ImgYyIP
不過，這無疑都是事實。337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRnvTs3znEO
337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbC34Dn2eFV
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。337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoXlR1PhNOc
337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjkC9euvAWh
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。337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtKpwP7ozIi
337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡezquGR73RV
「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。337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEKuJSLPHtZ
337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK5nwsXuOD3
沉默了半晌，紫藤才慢慢地開口。337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy6NtKwhzJ6
337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ88a6ITTK2S
「是我媽媽的遺物。」337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrKd1vLeuwA
337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF5FFOVnSPc
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。337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIP5p4OKf0z
337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbcoiO6STGo
「咦……？那為什麼會在墨駒的手裡呀？」杜若不假思索地問道。337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWjml8vBY4d
337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJD67GYY2Lt
「我也不知道。」紫藤搖搖頭，黯然地闔上雙眼。337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAsgQEIo1IX
337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOKVxb2pnDP
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。337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYboJuzjzcB
337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡylFI5i1xuu
「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：337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF8qK3lPmtJ
337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsqpSbkFF81
「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。」337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2lnbyfuens
337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ7cKwEAFHl
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。337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZAL0SKb7wj
337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUbpUncnPDV
「這就是那時候、他們從媽媽的身上搶走的東西之一。」337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡju2HDyEGZl
337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM0lQPhmYis
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。337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpS9hH2m2jh
337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ9w1VaIoCB
從那時起，濺在臉上的那朵紅花就已經在紫藤的心頭生根。337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgISmwguu69
337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ5nIw1OMrL
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。337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNrSnwCBcJP
337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjyPdrs6mn0
「原來……這是對紫藤來說這麼重要的東西啊。」337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3KTjbBs3iy
337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJbsSa3Aq8r
「嗯。」紫藤在胸前連同戒指握緊了拳頭。337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkKlWYu0zGx
337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnbxkM1HUwo
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。337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr3EjSBZOgF
337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwcsWqcbOdN
自己已經不想要再失去任何東西了。337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡazR8y9Auyx
337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWWNMWm6hVl
「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。337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLdZDYyCjGf
337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡihpZCxCZUX
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。337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ87i4Y2O9mx
337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR49EmcFaCS
「媽媽他——」337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡByae4htIki
337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMiScfYvFvo
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。337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCypq419Ssj
337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlRMFzQkWz5
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」。337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQn8ePsmOic
337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNwHvDrFEb9
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。337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX7Y4qZVs4g
337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbKHlzstJIU
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。337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQDYqUWC63Z
337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡofhc7ok77W
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。337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfq0OHc5U2u
337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2n065yIPDa
但紫藤一點都不喜歡學校。337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgcoGfBUzsP
337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPDJs6mq0g8
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。337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOxLnF1BDaM
337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiCbGpLambU
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。337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvkPNxSnRqb
337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDeeIWZ2bxH
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。337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWcXabrDlB9
337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjbUIQ56lKR
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。337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvHldhSAE96
337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpTyaHIrRpw
嗯，這樣就夠了。那時的紫藤只有這麼單純的滿足。337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHbJwFBkDr7
337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡskEwY7BmZJ
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。337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW0cTuFJ1N3
337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlzedmbcjgK
那是一起倒塌事件。337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpOKAaIO2td
337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2xaZLytK63
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。337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVTC3sECoAN
337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDlGOFXYTMP
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。337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWOuMOJzlij
337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7zlWfNjEuh
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。337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjrTjb5QJiR
337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMXyKDpNhjm
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。337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3eU3JtYfll
337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7ENBd2pGuI
「……我會找到給墨駒這個戒指的人。」337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE4WAu70SL2
337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoP9KMpisTm
收起回憶，紫藤再次握緊了戒指。337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbLFTNvqAJo
337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVuohoexvDN
「然後，殺了他。」337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHJXhPQaQvM
337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡizpw6iigBs
紫藤的眼神猶如熾火，沒有一分一毫的搖曳。337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGZFwWDtSNC
337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNSXFFuNxJ6
但只不過幾秒，便很快地萎靡了下來。337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9ebFeAOfTN
337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7ZclbYELR7
「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。」337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrtPezRAWny
337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUoIEkD1JLC
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。337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ89SbXPLLvC
337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdXwo8drusE
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。337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbmqdR5CbKF
337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZFAs3VhJUd
「原來、這就是紫藤想要跟我一起行動的原因呀。」337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS3wO7rDIgU
337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc8omUFewLg
「……嗯。」337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFr4Lr3fSwY
337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy9GUf9noQg
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。337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt0p45egYYZ
337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE9N9IGPP7K
紫藤深信，這就是自己向那些骯髒禽獸復仇的楔子。337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOxuT0EKSrW
337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMJnSsPQDrG
這就是足以斬斷自己心頭那朵紅花的白刃。337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0XIfgdcQxa
337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgIxOihBNVw
「……杜若妳呢？」337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6htOah1tTJ
337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsBOcKiJZlQ
紫藤拾起快要滿溢的情感，回望了杜若那如新月般的雙眸。337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI6sWJmJRKf
337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3dKj0iR38u
「又是為什麼……會開始當殺手？」337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNp80Plq9rV
337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ87gfKD4rmj
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。337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpWHlRLbpK1
337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡalt5jkIR9F
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。337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu78JtnmoIp
337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcu6p198gHw
「紫藤……不會生氣吧？」337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDWOnVao27z
337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMwk06S6Yx0
杜若果然還在意著那時自己的衝動。337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdzWImf58rU
337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnKvPAXwMJu
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。337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡElz9rQxWLR
337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMnxiLH4LvC
「不會。」紫藤堅定地說：「我保證。」337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoaXQWaiCSp
337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOONktFyXWp
等到紫藤緩緩收起手後，杜若才按著胸口，下定決心地開口。337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡju9E6NOCOG
337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCK6eJbhTkK
「……我想要救陶壺叔。」337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvFcdoLvLYP
337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHhYDETG5Tk
杜若喃喃吐出的回答令紫藤感到十分意外。337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqM7xmNFwUb
337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHhg0UqTCLq
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？337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtNJPiBz1f7
337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDKtBFqEBbG
就好像發現了紫藤的疑惑，杜若幽幽地繼續說道：337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHOnoahz5yF
337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7ORfjX7tlx
「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。」337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLengk5gJiM
337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEkBE0DZChA
全身慢慢就會不能動的病？337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡABVK7847K1
337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHEnKBcq2WK
這種病紫藤是頭一次聽見。337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1YwSfa75LT
337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiPQboBwgXf
「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。」337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPuCIVRTcsO
337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡemlqhA6spZ
「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。337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeYRU8Op7ul
337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡytSTCthjGi
「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。」337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWMQFeTEIuL
337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVY1uHPhjok
杜若的笑只看得見無力。337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡauevFlhXmD
337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg7XlnZVsXs
「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。」337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkHXu7hl4Xb
337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRJ44TfWXrA
到這裡，杜若便沒有繼續說下去了。337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCz24YOwLEn
337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC9zq8lI23t
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。337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUKW5UVqdTX
337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN82cIA4exv
然而，紫藤卻忍不住想要質疑的念頭。337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOpqxe9554N
337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7uz7rBNopK
「那個狐狸、真的就這麼值得相信嗎？」337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdpvit13W7a
337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVslGAw5Pll
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。337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzaEITQogP2
337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0g2qe6gv2Z
「……狐狸一直都對我很好呀。」337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡobD2ow19jS
337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfYHsRzIYnA
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。337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAu7ldPQcm4
337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsMyRgoGR6O
「所以，我還是相信狐狸。」337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfzXiFufnyv
337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcdTs6pQ4Xv
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。337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdMl45UD0Ri
337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkhNPz9yTwV
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。337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzRh5aBEV7T
337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH2pzNz7CiQ
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。337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIwm0Ul2hzR
337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhmXejZMkSm
哪怕、就算那道光芒是朝自己射出的子彈也一樣。337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTtHMBtiJhx
337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFdgYjwYN8L
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？337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2ZXkpDEILW

這怎麼可能。337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGrctxD5ar3
337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2MQc2wo7Zt
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。337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNxp8ekDmpo
337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNp64tPVTiI
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。337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaFayyLKJuF
337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjxDz1f2J4p
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。337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtvRXJtMzdJ
337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3vHYsyIvxi
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。337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6Geestpj4s
337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc133AIk3bA
察覺到掌心的柔軟，杜若看著紫藤靦腆地一笑。337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0BzNYasx56
337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLEKekMT61V
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337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1EFHnU0HWh
337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaSfJCUscyq
「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。337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡziugrlYLuc
337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM7XFEM0Myk
「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！」337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOxuZneTBfd
337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1o8h3H1tuJ
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。337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhjrQFj6Aiy
337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGznwHHBNN3
「不過，果然還是不能夠靠沙華會的人呢。」337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx6KCq9RPNr
337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZcij6lgmnB
經過剛才被反擊的經驗，讓兩人都對這點有了更多的共識。337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3GkQnfuUs0
337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡneA9bcW87A
說了句「話說回來」後，杜若就一轉話鋒、向紫藤問道：337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSBpm3H2bXD
337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNehWPMTh1t
「紫藤想要殺掉的人又是誰呀？紫藤還記得嗎？」337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6FeYwHicwb
337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCIkQOYdZi6
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。337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI9ly43QUxH
337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqU6mWwmBXp
「是一個……在脖子後面紋著白色線條的沙華會紋身的人。」337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXcltoIbX1D
337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBtWa1LmHKQ
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。337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJCiiwaEuxV
337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvkVSbBuf6j
「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。」337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzdTwAyt7i0
337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ23sU8c3vCR
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。337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8fN9uySeKd
337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡITY973I6yP
「這樣的話，我也來幫忙吧！」杜若自告奮勇地舉高手：337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj62dotTVxW
337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5frpsSS2kM
「兩個人一起找絕對比較快的！」337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCB4DbrisN4
337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTl5YLdrwcu
杜若的模樣、讓紫藤晚了一步才發現自己說錯了話。337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYAnJIc2mLJ
337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmmKHXDDv5H
紫藤默默地低下頭、沉聲回答。337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfLM3LtYO2R
337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeF5U4X3R0m
「……不用那樣。我……我自己就夠了。」337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyS38g4QSMs
337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSY4P523vV9
這冷淡的回答讓杜若頓時像被潑了水的貓咪似地一愣。337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYuH8hskxSp
337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9iYV2cvaTw
「可是、紫藤不是說到現在都……」337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdUYL3a0pWz
337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzhotVKYuq1
「這本來就是我自己的事。」337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWTMaK46i15
337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUGkiFTluz0
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。337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQyOwqnmrUc
337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaUztMBqo0I
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。337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5qCb5aZPtH
337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnqmv79TpWm
「那要是紫藤遇到危險怎麼辦！」倏地，杜若站起身、提高音量337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2J7jIfO2eW
337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB35rdSXjCm
「我就是為了保護自己，才會去學習要怎麼搏鬥。」337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqSw5JZc8v1
337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv8F8eDTn91
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。337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRLLi02gcDf
337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ05v8TMJQGj
「可是、假如對方有槍、假如遇到像今天一樣的事……」337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMyAWWJeCIe
337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIiQaHZIsFg
「我是不會讓自己被殺死的。」337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoL3eOYti2Q
337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXDo9XDwh7Q
「紫藤明明就傷成這樣、還說這種話……！」337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcUz6mCOjDN
337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwCNFVauE7t
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。337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTIQvwu57hi
337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDJ5extYgzT
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。337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9BSDpGMKhu
337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLktX7yYXH8
杜若雖然想甩開，但卻在一半就失去了力氣。337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1ykPZfLoMw
337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEGA14RKu44
「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……」337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoBfK9L0AXv
337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRkOZV1KmSw
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。337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhlfRVdIGKQ
337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUh59V68Fyz
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？337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpS5LM9ZW7g
337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4nQ9FGoLCL
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。337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC72fE6dkCq
337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcwQ2KSoMDy
最後，紫藤還是用了奸詐的說法。337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv2BPN72uGk
337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC495ego19U
「我跟陶壺叔約定過，說不會讓妳受傷了。」337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9libRnyefd
337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpCfL7nk4PM
「那難道紫藤要我看著妳受傷嗎？」337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt3P9m5wKQS
337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKplyMRaNPY
雖然夾雜著鼻音、但這句話卻如此強而有力。337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoIe2EW3Uwv
337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIIjHFVfQV7
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。337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3ZaxqCLVrt
337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoF3VptjzJZ
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。337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYz0NIDyqJd
337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjUbUMNk5OE
而紫藤打算再在杜若的身上再添一層相同的痛苦嗎？337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxUmTrJKhaG
337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7rALLxom2G
紫藤無法回答，只是沉默地別開了視線。337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU8Rn5iwIeH
337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ82Fj8137Lz
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？337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBmwQhAJ4xh
337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4h38nerxYD
哪條路都是崎嶇，哪條路也都是痛苦。337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4wm49kBtyj
337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡunPRRD7rye
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？337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡenEMYTPyTi
337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnhupYemmoH
只因為就連接受也是痛苦吧。337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh59eH3S6ac
337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡazWtlMJSE4
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？337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHYWFhphvc5
337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0JBfNGPw0v
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。337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7LFMigybKZ
337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWHNMDaYnra
思及至此，紫藤才慢慢地放鬆了手中的力道。337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOo1jck3l51
337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzUrRiEreU0
「答應我、要先保護好妳自己。」337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ27QMvmjZKs
337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6qSijp11QO
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。337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSyRMYo4TXZ
337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvZeNnh33h4
「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。337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMokBxKZVa4
337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuN3wHcKL0E
「所以，我的份就用來保護紫藤吧！」337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8emmuubZd6
337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjqp0P9L0vV
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。337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5JE19HFDJz
337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAYgyhIwuDu
「喔喔！紫藤笑了耶！」337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJJDvNsCF0T
337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAEQlVz5JaO
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。337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7tveRINX2r
337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIlR4VfVrGX
「哇啊啊——！對不起！」杜若立刻慌張地放下手來。337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzXvyRUi5or
337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1Da4q0Hhxq
疼痛雖然還沒散去，但紫藤還是發自內心地笑了。337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDnhvHYaWNp
337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbtiD1TI0vl
「……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？」337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLpbWD6xXkN
337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLRRdCKUks0
「咦？」這提議讓紫藤也感到意外地眨了眨眼。337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmqjlbHVX2N
337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLY9dZ6glzE
「雖然是我自己猜的……不過狐狸應該很擅長找人吧。」337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFgHD4XsPdJ
337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYPHKjvDcZl
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。337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRDh2aXYlkn
337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrVqB2Ndn7v
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。337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoRYk2bFjRn
337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8AGLFE53Ao
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。337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9T35rtaqFC
337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf3EHylr59x
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？337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyUNFn3w55h
337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLVAyMG3T5r
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？337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡViYpHJt6hl
337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQYt8fGaetm
「那……可以幫我跟狐狸說說看嗎？」337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡolORJtuGik
337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgusOXoWrsy
「當然呀，這是我提議的嘛～」杜若自信地抱起手臂、挺起胸膛。337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIgxFXPLyHy
337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzJe3HVVB6d
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。337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkur9oh1Pfi
337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEfTrvzypYd
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。337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9dA4WcO1FN
337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAvaYqdbsKG
「妳的傷……換我幫妳吧。」337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ59Xb7qyLkc
337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQVcfcCkndm
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。337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkzTT745hrh
337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQu13yKTYDq
「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。337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtIvumvLUCr
337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpipsu8CiAs
「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。337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqvtYCEElNa
337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAVh0yWUL1M
「撕得開來嗎？」杜若看著紫藤有些僵硬的動作，有所顧慮地問。337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNaZVWWkHZn
337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDMEdc2X5j2
「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。337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7MkSjAuqHb
337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrMdxk1cuCH
「……好了。換膝蓋吧。」337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWdW65fcm3o
337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgMHJRFH7Pl
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。337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj84HP34zGz
337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzJUSKHrKGc
「我臉上有什麼嗎？」紫藤不解地偏過頭。337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcNvJJhHaGj
337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGLq8fpw8Rz
「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：337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡekfgy1mxMt
337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD6xtEFDYYw
「只是覺得紫藤認真的模樣……果然好帥喔。」337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB0R0vtBN9T
337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZKwnqTQJjq
突如其來的稱讚，令紫藤頓時耳根一熱。337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡABtZfSdJRk
337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdACuIKqtJ9
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？337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW3GXhijyOX
337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRE29TQFt1R
「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：337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMmeMYEQDv0
337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡujmdjr0Dxg
「謝謝……」337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeYU8zz2tAe
337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9RTHAwRxP5
「嗯？」337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNIgfv3xTZn
337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxCFzWufcka
「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……！」337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvt7YAmnhVx
337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiwve6bN1H8
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。337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG7ZAh3joGL
337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ70xOGNb05H
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。337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPPdakyPflz
337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvTCem4RpIX
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。337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcDcjjQsQnp
337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm9Oq70Lhha
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。337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfkUlF6wI87
337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOJjohzOglV
「稍微……稍微彎起來一點。」337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQbdzQzBAlM
337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqbbFq9lehC
「這樣？」337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbUpBd614q4
337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCRZ5yEIGuQ
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。337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSaiowd0v2m
337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJzxwPBV968
「……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。337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ658Ym6ef28
337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUpEDVcdQ4n
於是紫藤收起醫療用品，起身將箱子放回原位。337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbKy4qfqPJ0
337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO1aJZbWjFN
「對了，剛才紫藤提到的事件……」337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU4X0CSrSz6
337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4lW9mblVTK
就在要踏出房門的時候，杜若忽然想到了什麼似地開了口。337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIhIFRbKscK
337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ63qN8TI9SU
「事件、是倒塌事件嗎？」337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbfH8lcGd3J
337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhKOWBCbIxL
「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。337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR0O4csDWUr
337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSk2EyPfvaB
「怎麼了嗎？」看見杜若的模樣，令紫藤擔心地走了回去。337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyOq8RiZz5S
337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDDensSOuO3
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。337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMr9epEnrV3
337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUtUZ9LGDqr
「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！」337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG9OctkCJA8
337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6TRO2t7Gzf
紫藤雖然感到疑惑，卻還是沒有多問地走出了房間。337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsQ3fPyTaeu
337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs1txIyACP1
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。337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfYW4NH4Pwd
337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuILOzJmigs
「我們……好像弄錯順序了耶。」337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6oBZ9qSGt8
337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfCO80A3BYt
「……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。337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpuD03yKQsN
337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLVNclAAzBr
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。337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4gA25ndCqq
337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3WLsR1MCXo
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。337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOjEoBmjiC0
337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSYNRYhVhJu
「紫藤需要我幫忙嗎？」337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMityC2rWvp
337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFbjBPravkk
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。337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8tDdyFl0w5
337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbTVikoex7S
「我、我自己來就可以了……」337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb9mYi2v0ib
337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmJDNMMoGTx
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。337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ85v3Php9RC
337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSIJquZs1if
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。337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4vA0KwidV4
337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx3UWzvce8z
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。337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB7ndydXTBR
337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRhCsSYAqX1
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。337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNPkGf8u2Wp
337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoGe5hhk4EW
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。337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiAy4oZXDp4

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？337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEnyDZxXE5B
337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgCgd7aIGMG
「……紫藤。」337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAsWJNepFLN
337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYT7HeFGbuS
「怎麼了？」337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMP58CA6Sqf
337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡplWUnIz1AC
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。337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQIRooqnl9n
337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9Op7jqfowl
「紫藤說、會一直在我身邊……我可以相信紫藤吧？」337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmtGZcA4dcb
337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfv3zXWHpoe
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。337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNay89BBEwL
337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtgZirQSpvr
紫藤伸出手輕蓋在了杜若的後腦，卻沒有辦法就這麼點頭。337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNS8JbuJ5P7
337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjetPOjpWuG
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？337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlJKaXhYdA6
337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsAUzoVQq7c
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。337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7o5gECgP8F
337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpFeb7oS2ij
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。337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgjvboKMtgM
337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWQ2sw5x1HW
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？337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZfIZNZ92j4
337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB0cSZtaTwc
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。337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9qQFr0Vgix
337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa7kZAwZdyr
不過紫藤現在就在這裡。337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi25qv6qfvW
337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoo246zLitI
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。337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRKWnX9VXqh
337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR8YrKBeKKB
於是、紫藤探出指頭，用指腹輕貼上了杜若的臉頰。337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡItAIfiSp6F
337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAOLrbNVSY2
「……我會試著做到的。」337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNIkjZwkgNx
337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ4I6xMfAtL
「什麼嘛……」聽見這不乾脆的回答，杜若便沒輒地笑了。337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaEtoLQHd3r
337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpHGU8itVug
「不過……我相信紫藤喔。」337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ96KTbq6oe3
337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMJXhBelY27
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。337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrHb2wteuRm
337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnu8qZc5Aai
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。337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqQz8FiALaV
337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ9X0LBixSc
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。337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv5RSjH6MsS
337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ08ubjk07Va
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。337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡah8EyBtqZx
337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLbkaVVnlmq
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。337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9a4og24RkW
