迴響的隆隆聲如同夢境般遠去。368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGqt0Rr9SfC
368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeFJUi8zV6E
從開出的小縫裡，一道狹窄的光切開了無邊無際的黑暗。368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcW8mdGCH9k
368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYcLQdJZvrb
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。368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy93uN1X6Ze
368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLmA3EWpkz8
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。368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqEL2bM1D8t
368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIK3LKr4s3E
連沙華會都靜謐下來，就代表連凌晨也快要結束了吧。368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmxZifnnDmu
368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFKGpyamZ5W
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。368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡveKr12wgsv
368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJrxgBQWFpA
「走吧。我們一起回去。」368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhjgnOjLQQZ
368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ49shQblT9P
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。368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYmZ4M74kjk
368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZnFvqsBSAf
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。368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjTmb5BJtWL
368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrnMo815BUy
為了處理傷口，杜若讓紫藤靠到了床板上頭。368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡluEBlfSiKm
368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQC7ddUWRve
「嗚……！」368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQTw21Gw983
368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYp4KH0lsNA
消毒藥水碰到傷口的劇痛，讓紫藤吃痛地叫出悶聲。368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgMPnESI16V
368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdf1gkQzBk1
「很痛嗎……？」杜若停下動作，擔憂地看向紫藤。368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6farfczgaE
368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt0S5lRAxBq
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。368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQJoRinavqO
368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKWA2eOdRkN
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。368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJihY12cyrD
368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLoB9GvhpJm
「……我還可以忍。」說完，紫藤打直手臂。368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxq8MXNhwoN
368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc0rY7KkwTj
杜若點點頭，卻宛如做錯了事一般地垂下眼簾。368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMnOmEHfbOY
368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVMFH81TFtw
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。368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIwDZotRL5I
368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgBFJ09KjwF
「那、再忍耐一下就好。」368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ1Nxx6AwbQ
368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsAk3j1tXHp
「呼、呼……嗚——！」368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1AnR0rY8Nh
368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1whSQK9OJ0
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。368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcJ4DOQFjXv
368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3L7EEUNtkD
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。368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEid28bLrcy
368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6nGbOhsk1F
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。368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV8DKHA86oK
368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRQpargmCtG
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。368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd7YZ440cnX
368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCMgBb4LrqL
「還要喝嗎？」杜若捧著還有一半的水杯，輕柔地問。368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwNSJcvQPMa
368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXifCeRMnVL
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。368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZP09BrwUIn
368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8X2qaRCcNm
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。368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJYFxnDV4L0
368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBgO2Qk20GB
「……謝謝。」368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxhNEwbufkz
368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7WmHhGmcoc
「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。368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYV2U7TADB7
368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7tou7o4ahQ
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。368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAHujn9Xxcy
368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2uHtylpoDh
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。368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnvD0n3U2T8
368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlWlhKZsLRA
不過，這無疑都是事實。368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl5eUGlj1nf
368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgTXKOVSz6f
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。368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSOJDvQGXpM
368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQjYYgDAlDD
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。368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwZ8X8V38Di
368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEm0mHWX3wu
「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。368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjJO9Qwkyh0
368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq9IPwMXt6O
沉默了半晌，紫藤才慢慢地開口。368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoPm2b2lULr
368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSRrg82h8Ce
「是我媽媽的遺物。」368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3jZ4qllI0R
368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5JyqbGwMzG
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。368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyk3i7N343z
368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyECmLY1Hmx
「咦……？那為什麼會在墨駒的手裡呀？」杜若不假思索地問道。368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYZIrYPWkYf
368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrjo6dPGgSa
「我也不知道。」紫藤搖搖頭，黯然地闔上雙眼。368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlRQStL6TrB
368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2wGuNFoJmc
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。368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYHghMRUm3j
368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmSIXOwMvb8
「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：368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSr2yEcJ4q1
368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoJ4vfmMvw4
「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。」368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYrTFClYEqu
368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6K87ji9ou8
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。368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBDwJGLdhJN
368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtalPm4r6u6
「這就是那時候、他們從媽媽的身上搶走的東西之一。」368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQVzU4BMmWX
368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ1FPKK8kt6
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。368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEf0IGdZC5u
368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTwvx2wzJMC
從那時起，濺在臉上的那朵紅花就已經在紫藤的心頭生根。368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5t6saUfAAy
368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk776bApXU0
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。368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡURt1ftSV2g
368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPpiFvKVAcJ
「原來……這是對紫藤來說這麼重要的東西啊。」368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiqfo6LPC69
368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmeQrAehf9L
「嗯。」紫藤在胸前連同戒指握緊了拳頭。368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLWNxRJ1fq7
368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCEBujK942w
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。368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeWj5KwznJ8
368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNpxSyAcJe1
自己已經不想要再失去任何東西了。368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxVIW6uVeXq
368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXc4GtB4Lhl
「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。368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwCJwcVr3Vn
368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbLUyD8wJPi
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。368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsFtv2b8jyz
368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEDFHyigby1
「媽媽他——」368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR6y2Sn8u79
368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAwECTaC5Xw
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。368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTe26dCXZQF
368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡomWYtJ5Bky
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」。368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡatkeklO6us
368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjDPSrtOC8P
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。368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLijBC1WUpz
368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrAFBeUBfd7
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。368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0kltPOuj7C
368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeJfIBn7nJJ
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。368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgZHvU2QQXS
368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOgAFtPpnjr
但紫藤一點都不喜歡學校。368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMct6DLqzD1
368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOm8fXkmkTt
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。368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡthBzFw7fWv
368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnpCVxAtr9X
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。368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ65QN26LHke
368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG4ljyCcR33
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。368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs318LsIrBQ
368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyYfCTITQOE
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。368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9EPkbFVkLi
368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXxbD9jz94v
嗯，這樣就夠了。那時的紫藤只有這麼單純的滿足。368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjez4tfKDYk
368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDOsHnC02zj
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。368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnbcbm0bvLL
368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkLoCgzeS0z
那是一起倒塌事件。368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVnCXqYkhhD
368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNKiUqR9re4
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。368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtOTgOVDVvr
368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFzu9qYzLmd
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。368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZSHEDzhetD
368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTEZTUOBRGs
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。368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlNB0o4wl3k
368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvfKVtv9M2y
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。368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSY0fYjg8dw
368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGOKK87PNLL
「……我會找到給墨駒這個戒指的人。」368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7DgtTzAJ3C
368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKtMQPqd6LU
收起回憶，紫藤再次握緊了戒指。368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt1KCB3Sx5c
368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhllDvcPIP0
「然後，殺了他。」368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ27mvJCVnGQ
368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9v07veOBpU
紫藤的眼神猶如熾火，沒有一分一毫的搖曳。368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9MVWQD5wC0
368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs47RgtNiMX
但只不過幾秒，便很快地萎靡了下來。368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCzym0tl7gw
368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnKLeNZRWvW
「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。」368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9PoeKaXzyH
368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY72L0GpsUW
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。368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0mkusfjGXu
368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmgOcSvlAJg
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。368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvHd6QZyYx5
368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTFyLhVJ7SV
「原來、這就是紫藤想要跟我一起行動的原因呀。」368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9zERlFo14L
368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEOtNnCGPzM
「……嗯。」368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcpVqQYJUQi
368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0OztzLMQp2
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。368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiUbVTHwnvv
368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqJjY63SEhH
紫藤深信，這就是自己向那些骯髒禽獸復仇的楔子。368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBuu7qA24dj
368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQMefitGzHu
這就是足以斬斷自己心頭那朵紅花的白刃。368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfVR7L1hYMA
368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgafOsUzjdk
「……杜若妳呢？」368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXUJpCr9K0o
368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWyzZF28YXj
紫藤拾起快要滿溢的情感，回望了杜若那如新月般的雙眸。368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz3ibbpCcqx
368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHZgtJxqTxB
「又是為什麼……會開始當殺手？」368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmDoW0fjGdO
368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAWPExcKOmG
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。368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡstbx0AMV5Z
368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ66rQ6MCd04
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。368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkZZ2ujZZ4o
368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjYr1wgePMS
「紫藤……不會生氣吧？」368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlLltZgamX4
368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEdihyN2EAt
杜若果然還在意著那時自己的衝動。368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnUcA0EuSOj
368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0cg9V8tFla
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。368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT0KuwH3mN7
368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnAJcnebjxh
「不會。」紫藤堅定地說：「我保證。」368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHXdXiWBSBo
368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsn3JtqnAo4
等到紫藤緩緩收起手後，杜若才按著胸口，下定決心地開口。368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr34aqrHlKB
368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlp9nwmhUMC
「……我想要救陶壺叔。」368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3GTyofNQSt
368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd6fSuP6g7o
杜若喃喃吐出的回答令紫藤感到十分意外。368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCS2ZoqHjLN
368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhzMFWFDeOE
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？368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx2Mh6uw58v
368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡytDx3VzV4j
就好像發現了紫藤的疑惑，杜若幽幽地繼續說道：368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw3r3TFTPg5
368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ38novB4dzL
「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。」368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbiWLPrKoSx
368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCghjsu0rkP
全身慢慢就會不能動的病？368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm6exjZyAxc
368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC21CORG2An
這種病紫藤是頭一次聽見。368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBfdNGu7eHc
368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8XXboPEJeI
「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。」368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrc2F42GCbL
368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0mISCyo3Bi
「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。368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsuxq7vlBVw
368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzefyHoiBZ8
「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。」368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSyOKFBxJBM
368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdKwWrWmKgr
杜若的笑只看得見無力。368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNgu1mrKXHS
368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3LxDWEsywK
「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。」368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDiN3KLsekh
368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUXQLohlcdb
到這裡，杜若便沒有繼續說下去了。368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOdgEBQuMUV
368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlNB2jpUTcf
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。368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrVlFfDQS95
368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnREFzMwWB2
然而，紫藤卻忍不住想要質疑的念頭。368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvC5iuaPMnf
368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgzjnjsUbkJ
「那個狐狸、真的就這麼值得相信嗎？」368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk1BwgSTyuU
368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH1pWAqBOi4
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。368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡERpKCyqqRD
368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXEs5o91dsD
「……狐狸一直都對我很好呀。」368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQiurFN3kRY
368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtiojsofSOP
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。368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjFKLiw21Gw
368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEfW3AEcgf8
「所以，我還是相信狐狸。」368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeugvZDMEU9
368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHd9CPXieoZ
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。368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdS0PtHIcv4
368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoZ1dFtOkxP
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。368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdIXuYhMJ2T
368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo8wTXUdTNU
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。368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbxceFjFVJT
368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBAvXpXAGfU
哪怕、就算那道光芒是朝自己射出的子彈也一樣。368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzKqUNTFshS
368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNyCXtY9o6f
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？368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2FM729E6ix
368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiYwC2VKzEG
這怎麼可能。368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzTMqqeYubc
368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrTgTlAJ91F
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。368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcEGB4q5ETz
368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡppxmCZVewg
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。368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0EavMkQxOD
368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtJ43OBjWw6
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。368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBk36h04gqz
368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGPkhB5AShq
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。368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtZ7wrBLU8N
368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtlkAJKEEir
察覺到掌心的柔軟，杜若看著紫藤靦腆地一笑。368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEd1ZbBOjGi
368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOVns2HV4mC
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368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwUkHPXcktx
368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1V09Z0dAAr
「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。368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWByjyDohtE
368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS6K3VAg1eL
「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！」368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuVM0Qo4c2Z
368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW2QXD0brdi
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。368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2DUU8k9baO
368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzDKVD75acJ
「不過，果然還是不能夠靠沙華會的人呢。」368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOOepitXtp5
368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0KaKgfr8ny
經過剛才被反擊的經驗，讓兩人都對這點有了更多的共識。368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJZ6rDNFaY0
368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv6JWI11b24
說了句「話說回來」後，杜若就一轉話鋒、向紫藤問道：368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡerUDkHE6tN
368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkLwjJbKvqe
「紫藤想要殺掉的人又是誰呀？紫藤還記得嗎？」368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnxFmA8vayR
368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnAfCE0ioh5
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。368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA5QwCP26kS
368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0whNLBmn15
「是一個……在脖子後面紋著白色線條的沙華會紋身的人。」368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK9NTXjmEN1
368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh1cw7KB81o
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。368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjYnOzrYs2d
368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7GJxi8DiA7
「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。」368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPgHZYC879Q
368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz28NuQTi7B
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。368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn0miB9CmGg
368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvL724NPOr5
「這樣的話，我也來幫忙吧！」杜若自告奮勇地舉高手：368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdVESvEXqv7
368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvCsLRW2zO3
「兩個人一起找絕對比較快的！」368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuxb5o35z7Y
368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ06riQqW4j0
杜若的模樣、讓紫藤晚了一步才發現自己說錯了話。368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoMBwQX3s7u
368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcEznmYtaA8
紫藤默默地低下頭、沉聲回答。368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdJxfEKbwsF
368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrct63pTLJ9
「……不用那樣。我……我自己就夠了。」368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHMVIpEBkFt
368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6vDKDC8hcJ
這冷淡的回答讓杜若頓時像被潑了水的貓咪似地一愣。368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP2IIg38cww
368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyJJhvU9v44
「可是、紫藤不是說到現在都……」368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNMW6TwS3DB
368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ435ybLm4tB
「這本來就是我自己的事。」368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9L8qGcA9BZ
368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8yyVHT6MA5
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。368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgK0vUjGUdr
368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPEwJayOTgM
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。368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMAurm6YYOy
368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC1yEpbNLgB
「那要是紫藤遇到危險怎麼辦！」倏地，杜若站起身、提高音量368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2DxDKNr5cU
368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQUCUFROfS4
「我就是為了保護自己，才會去學習要怎麼搏鬥。」368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAhnnTJxVBy
368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPJ6ntrAqWy
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。368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlun6uh5FRF
368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa9xLb5ziTb
「可是、假如對方有槍、假如遇到像今天一樣的事……」368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6BVijUPwZa
368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfdelS9KWva
「我是不會讓自己被殺死的。」368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsd7V0m55eh
368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcrACJB8K3l
「紫藤明明就傷成這樣、還說這種話……！」368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZdeABbDv15
368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSggb8GD7Xx
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。368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvcd1GaL3Rw
368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTerTpD50zB
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。368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLjt5q1I4M8
368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6HBsPDQpGQ
杜若雖然想甩開，但卻在一半就失去了力氣。368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRXLli9MqCg
368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNt3AKyN2Tb
「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……」368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAg1VU3Xf65
368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpipCgBYFnA
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。368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ73XmEJGpa0
368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpvpepLmnX7
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？368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡraD84ix8Z8
368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡekQxk9U2vd
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。368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi2EeS2BBBv
368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuT3cvnctE0
最後，紫藤還是用了奸詐的說法。368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJU1W0HUlxZ
368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUlPXaMlxak
「我跟陶壺叔約定過，說不會讓妳受傷了。」368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs6S4r1Djow
368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡadUgaZy1A8
「那難道紫藤要我看著妳受傷嗎？」368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHZ7hzjBcKI
368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpKW4FEv3CE
雖然夾雜著鼻音、但這句話卻如此強而有力。368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6la7WeEedz
368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRvPYuEfzo8
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。368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPCEuaAdmwO
368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBgdjPcaM6F
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。368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpnF3Mq9iOD
368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA5xbQJjEi6
而紫藤打算再在杜若的身上再添一層相同的痛苦嗎？368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOaDPvua7x3
368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE9zxVnBHTl
紫藤無法回答，只是沉默地別開了視線。368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcAcgNYlxRe
368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgkNHKhdlKe
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？368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdDggTlRTfX
368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa2oZJS5U7x
哪條路都是崎嶇，哪條路也都是痛苦。368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcQWahRPHty
368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKDaL0M1b0T
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？368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1WcoKyrykO
368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI6zfewRrIL
只因為就連接受也是痛苦吧。368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdEcyWUXdib
368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx4zjx6EcKn
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？368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK2TKhOOYw2
368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDdD6SRoOU7
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。368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ17Lj9wPPjJ
368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt5gI6ZkKwJ
思及至此，紫藤才慢慢地放鬆了手中的力道。368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtLeXGQq3Lm
368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlrxkFUADhx
「答應我、要先保護好妳自己。」368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWsSKQ73aWm
368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxNMGcw7bJH
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。368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWngLBU94Ce
368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2zhV7SIh6a
「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。368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy6J5F08Gsu
368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHWewHV2JZ2
「所以，我的份就用來保護紫藤吧！」368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTyPrze3Y5m
368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJIXruSpYsJ
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。368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ49bEUZlaP9
368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZvK4F0IROA
「喔喔！紫藤笑了耶！」368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7PFCEkJqW6
368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡalXztyN9Dc
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。368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4SE6alGXh2
368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS6r5PyNATa
「哇啊啊——！對不起！」杜若立刻慌張地放下手來。368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2y0Yp8EGkb
368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6yO6foEkgf
疼痛雖然還沒散去，但紫藤還是發自內心地笑了。368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp5GOnCWrVU
368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNFne2TuzYr
「……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？」368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRcFDbNPDFC
368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4HqN5f7Ph4
「咦？」這提議讓紫藤也感到意外地眨了眨眼。368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1EFWSuaAMc
368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZiA0HeNG5H
「雖然是我自己猜的……不過狐狸應該很擅長找人吧。」368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBFTus4PgNO
368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4xWGbBZDS0
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。368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOzvKf6eXLG
368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq4tcr7IbL9
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。368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1nuAqgJSlx
368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCtyXDnp7x7
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。368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6uNWiIcddF
368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf8DIDxbPCi
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？368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq8uZwdcExW
368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoc2LF4vHfY
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？368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAbvQDfMX70
368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjXcPYy7UV3
「那……可以幫我跟狐狸說說看嗎？」368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB98GQavWEs
368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnQqrnyu7Wj
「當然呀，這是我提議的嘛～」杜若自信地抱起手臂、挺起胸膛。368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6Sc2wSONQD
368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLXp3WDUqCz
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。368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpbRseDUGCh
368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDhHhjRj6Ok
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。368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDmo0FWRRBS
368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ0ivucwaeW
「妳的傷……換我幫妳吧。」368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ151JWZgYOk
368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYfGwt57ulZ
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。368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgnFufEwYAL
368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuPZQzypvP1
「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。368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrQTBjpQXYa
368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡacrFsM5ydf
「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。368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoo4ZXoPvNO
368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD8lzDBzpNP
「撕得開來嗎？」杜若看著紫藤有些僵硬的動作，有所顧慮地問。368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkgNVEUXrSR
368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6kh0ASdMix
「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。368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1SqVjyWWbb
368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyyFa2RbMsw
「……好了。換膝蓋吧。」368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsDg4F3TMwb
368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgNgCYVydHs
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。368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCMey16w4iJ
368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdIJUMIdNNz
「我臉上有什麼嗎？」紫藤不解地偏過頭。368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHkbD80K8o3
368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUglrj0xKj8
「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：368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT2poxC4bdv
368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡARlV9Ayi3z
「只是覺得紫藤認真的模樣……果然好帥喔。」368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbhOeh00qfU
368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5F2DlOngLk
突如其來的稱讚，令紫藤頓時耳根一熱。368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhKfbpl7Uls
368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3jjO4ZhfS7
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？368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDXBcCTeuV9
368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLri2tTzrMm
「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：368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBZuLGu0THA
368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5E6966eDFe
「謝謝……」368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOSWsDX8MPA
368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJodneZ6P3f
「嗯？」368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4Qsuwyfv73
368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXTWu3uH55Q
「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……！」368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGsG6Opo7gv
368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJpfXW6t12y
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。368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡewNRv9TxdF
368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMsZpnVIJgI
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。368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr0lV0BgQ13
368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡimC28rOwKw
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。368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqIkgwJEfhn
368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4XlaFepoJE
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。368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxqMEdJXU1s
368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIbcts8KZPU
「稍微……稍微彎起來一點。」368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7FRl8P0c5p
368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcRgHfw8pic
「這樣？」368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUxhUvNaxta
368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7RRe7PiKQa
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。368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD8QXS6mISt
368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyb4XaVGwXE
「……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。368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrjJ9QTWkhT
368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEDbkfe2c7q
於是紫藤收起醫療用品，起身將箱子放回原位。368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgRZDq7ZWQ5
368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnda8Cukfbd
「對了，剛才紫藤提到的事件……」368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv7fLw5kMY7
368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD3nSDakRLK
就在要踏出房門的時候，杜若忽然想到了什麼似地開了口。368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGjrqMiimRN
368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEi91QL261g
「事件、是倒塌事件嗎？」368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡopW6p19Cha
368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMco9NmMIMR
「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。368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSpCOhyllDA
368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMqzP6gdsTN
「怎麼了嗎？」看見杜若的模樣，令紫藤擔心地走了回去。368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwKnD7vVlji
368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpLijvUydDp
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。368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ87hLDQZSMt
368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMuoVSJvsKW
「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！」368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7TpoG8u7FB
368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkAsm8TL1f1
紫藤雖然感到疑惑，卻還是沒有多問地走出了房間。368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVIEyJafVUX
368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ71wXQoGaPI
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。368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWAtpFb5FoM
368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWNpbiFXya0
「我們……好像弄錯順序了耶。」368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM9FKaudt4n
368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFt77mGCNrF
「……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。368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIUmKBNjp4R
368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡId7goJV0ph
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。368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGklE5u1OnP
368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbW5JG2Mkqw
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。368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO6L5m80dN8
368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVYA7PmvXfK
「紫藤需要我幫忙嗎？」368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGmcjv8VpZV
368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfw1HCQ9Xr3
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。368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOFKMoF8ylU
368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp3HrMqcDU7
「我、我自己來就可以了……」368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvIB8vtpK0R
368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf64togGHUs
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。368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnDkHzSfbIc
368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZOiRmbRGbp
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。368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtKqPk13ezR
368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoaKMG2bCev
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。368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKy6pNaTwLE
368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwsMRmnuy4l
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。368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG1cyrLsQBR

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。368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLMBgJniDPX
368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNNQEuRrFSP
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？368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4y7Bg3Zm38
368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdlqJUihsYG
「……紫藤。」368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiPEgXtd6i1
368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡigLBmh9xM0
「怎麼了？」368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMyf05yvw0O
368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0VnN5m9oOx
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。368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWHBNJGP3Ay
368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgl7ufxeJih
「紫藤說、會一直在我身邊……我可以相信紫藤吧？」368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxPA8QntHpF
368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsaIrcVCeJ9
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。368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5WNVT59Bxy
368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCiRrbpj2KW
紫藤伸出手輕蓋在了杜若的後腦，卻沒有辦法就這麼點頭。368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAOGsIkGX1l
368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJnay3AOCmy
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？368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpdmd5oJHij
368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjWhy7ZsTSq
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。368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8YMcHz3FBF
368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5g4IB8gyvH
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。368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQsOakSYiC7
368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCmQtovuvgW
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？368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr6aEkLqRvb
368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgOyu9FAyp3
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。368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2eznIsjphW
368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3rcz2A0txl
不過紫藤現在就在這裡。368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfwUjtwrDxe
368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSE82PgQfnH
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。368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ544vCIx4dD
368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvXTKj7yERS
於是、紫藤探出指頭，用指腹輕貼上了杜若的臉頰。368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡusmv1VphSe
368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ18J2gtNT7l
「……我會試著做到的。」368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjUTtIDSC8r
368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡocYHJCVPg0
「什麼嘛……」聽見這不乾脆的回答，杜若便沒輒地笑了。368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqvEu58N1FZ
368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtuMw6c69Dk
「不過……我相信紫藤喔。」368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0wAbL1VYRf
368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxfb0NcYHzS
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。368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZMiPMsCUq2
368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFH5Enc4rVd
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。368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCJznuabmt1
368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6MKuKzWef0
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。368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgMK2Z3HwV9
368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUJmWiP4NdE
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。368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRVRvi1z0g6
368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNVhpmSSFLV
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。368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB1gGny4WFw
