迴響的隆隆聲如同夢境般遠去。425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt5RPTYrbxF
425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfzUKhtJ07j
從開出的小縫裡，一道狹窄的光切開了無邊無際的黑暗。425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ27vhjLhpDV
425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvAtrVVpeAz
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。425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNIFzee5nFV
425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkIK5kYDjr4
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。425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGe26XI4vTM
425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSPXwvDk8JC
連沙華會都靜謐下來，就代表連凌晨也快要結束了吧。425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm2M0mbeqLj
425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2BNmCWfgVK
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。425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlEOJSNqwO2
425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5JqcKXxyx2
「走吧。我們一起回去。」425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtSGUj0Yk8j
425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡelaRRYGAK5
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。425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1MyRzpdnG4
425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoWoHpwNne0
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。425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3SHXDGdyDn
425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4gdxNccBCN
為了處理傷口，杜若讓紫藤靠到了床板上頭。425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRUITR2V68x
425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgw3MkNvJFV
「嗚……！」425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ76INxJBNKE
425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuycbs50w9w
消毒藥水碰到傷口的劇痛，讓紫藤吃痛地叫出悶聲。425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu3PfSqObQ3
425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsXE1bR6X4e
「很痛嗎……？」杜若停下動作，擔憂地看向紫藤。425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb94d9H45Se
425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbXnP3uxIpn
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。425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡskPog02ZFP
425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUTUAV5Yncj
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。425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqcrosJF1HS
425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEO2fjptegc
「……我還可以忍。」說完，紫藤打直手臂。425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡySBn0ZA7Rb
425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhM2uI4Qhq3
杜若點點頭，卻宛如做錯了事一般地垂下眼簾。425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdpBzrDHmJp
425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQeJJy9Ufd4
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。425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsfGqIojHEi
425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhtHs7Qlq0i
「那、再忍耐一下就好。」425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6Eu7FpTe1t
425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjSU8tTKmHZ
「呼、呼……嗚——！」425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNg1rAdm7EA
425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkk5vqRndKj
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。425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRhopy4C5zS
425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLurxVDMkd8
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。425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnVoSHURsyX
425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUVl9uaO5zl
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。425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWdZM7KAoUi
425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIojpCXsGso
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。425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0qcbneYdHC
425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHydDIHNybk
「還要喝嗎？」杜若捧著還有一半的水杯，輕柔地問。425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2VtEj6wxhV
425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZIs28O15Jm
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。425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC4zwdWVq80
425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡILyxUYKwFV
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。425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡidZ3hH0Yum
425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV5dPrTbnzZ
「……謝謝。」425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRjZckN0oAK
425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq0J2HSshYz
「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。425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMVb4YS9BWt
425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCTNll77bkG
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。425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZG0kJa1qNw
425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtVcpLfO7UA
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。425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYvDm4eKbDw
425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyiwjBGHqzc
不過，這無疑都是事實。425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ01oQkohL0W
425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1zJVemVuTy
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。425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVP5frR4SvQ
425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYeacleybcx
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。425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1GWnbkM9C4
425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ267rduk3CY
「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。425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5K1XYPa9gC
425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDUBgK0NtWd
沉默了半晌，紫藤才慢慢地開口。425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp13yF8nwOb
425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQSQVx6JEni
「是我媽媽的遺物。」425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNuFIEOieuD
425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUpa3ExuX59
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。425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgu9236VZ18
425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFdElVcyM8T
「咦……？那為什麼會在墨駒的手裡呀？」杜若不假思索地問道。425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO9SfBcgIJa
425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlriT7dAx2I
「我也不知道。」紫藤搖搖頭，黯然地闔上雙眼。425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX7xPT8pTWm
425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3QpEud8lFb
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。425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtJMuOgQYqe
425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmJfcHoJG1j
「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：425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdzMUdGTglH
425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡesc0wmna95
「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。」425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjRwJcmMlVo
425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh14WOxiGVo
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。425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1wf283ejQs
425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwvPv4b5TJu
「這就是那時候、他們從媽媽的身上搶走的東西之一。」425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiQCFWYybIp
425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡobaKuL0Izg
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。425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgR8RpplAc4
425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHLohDSBaQo
從那時起，濺在臉上的那朵紅花就已經在紫藤的心頭生根。425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3Fqx0LGSOa
425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡczZcDfViG9
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。425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3P0qjdkSYv
425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ44mfu3hBF9
「原來……這是對紫藤來說這麼重要的東西啊。」425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdDLrjfqh1O
425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡETDFldFEui
「嗯。」紫藤在胸前連同戒指握緊了拳頭。425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRfXKWE6Foa
425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqBSoOZ9aMA
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。425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5Pr3tAk14w
425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcrEzvEMrub
自己已經不想要再失去任何東西了。425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRTd2Ex0XFg
425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLDCkRcnMAo
「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。425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPfzS1KPmqt
425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc5ofjcDKiI
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。425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLq0WLRtQVZ
425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0STf0y5HJR
「媽媽他——」425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWdVOlTqLHT
425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKzY6V8EkD7
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。425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqD3w1zOu25
425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIKaNzAWSUP
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」。425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXDXPiDGukn
425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ86R6pXSMLg
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。425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmTaKVy7b2S
425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzdhnQJT9yw
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。425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDhEh04lOAv
425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡItZEh6ixOH
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。425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuoaNhrQcsi
425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtQytCG5FkC
但紫藤一點都不喜歡學校。425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCMHoMQPGln
425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSyy16UXGK9
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。425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGhfXZVkyK6
425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ0wB7ZYHes
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。425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwnbF9H0gjj
425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWjOTHtsthx
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。425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV5LQDgwe0j
425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMlxi8F94oc
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。425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAPZkKNlSY0
425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡobV6UG8Nni
嗯，這樣就夠了。那時的紫藤只有這麼單純的滿足。425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2cPjktHlEQ
425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtR6nXwgxLk
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。425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaUkv9ZvZHQ
425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6cAJUJPaZG
那是一起倒塌事件。425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6fAnjGKzLB
425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIbTxq5s7hs
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。425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAQ06mn6yat
425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6RoN8DlUuE
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。425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmaB1ajUGAE
425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnsmF62DADD
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。425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzrmkhOqoQd
425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9wTxuCTxcg
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。425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjG0jh4nvcN
425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnFAVLS8wLN
「……我會找到給墨駒這個戒指的人。」425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTjEezifJiS
425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzUfD6sQE3R
收起回憶，紫藤再次握緊了戒指。425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsNqggTcJxU
425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2JRXVmL7Ni
「然後，殺了他。」425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPmLE1ydabg
425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1jGYsG1pwn
紫藤的眼神猶如熾火，沒有一分一毫的搖曳。425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxrmLGdIHKn
425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVXEmtWBBlZ
但只不過幾秒，便很快地萎靡了下來。425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡREn5S24LNW
425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvwKYsP9R7v
「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。」425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG00TkIyQcf
425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZbtiksEA1H
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。425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3zIdnIvVa2
425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZfpcJCcjLv
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。425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3oQtBg3tr2
425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz2l74Ii20R
「原來、這就是紫藤想要跟我一起行動的原因呀。」425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2NU8wTGgvV
425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ7qdO7em6G
「……嗯。」425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVVvDqi0bvK
425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8Oxxw5MOmk
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。425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlGea2I2yYc
425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbo9ou6KZSB
紫藤深信，這就是自己向那些骯髒禽獸復仇的楔子。425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2Mk7SQm3fb
425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS3D6bqGrCx
這就是足以斬斷自己心頭那朵紅花的白刃。425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQMTA40ZL1o
425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡknKszhLyt7
「……杜若妳呢？」425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw80YDTHQdt
425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5RF6m2p7Nh
紫藤拾起快要滿溢的情感，回望了杜若那如新月般的雙眸。425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaIcmJ3df3w
425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8fy1gxV1HA
「又是為什麼……會開始當殺手？」425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIZkuUmtS3E
425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ91upCnWiEX
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。425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA15yN4Tb8A
425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKLBsAgrhnx
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。425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8RD1hsTKuN
425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaP5ovKyN2g
「紫藤……不會生氣吧？」425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLYyjtHku8X
425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf6PBjo0GxD
杜若果然還在意著那時自己的衝動。425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmKUKepH3TW
425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPZqvF2Klms
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。425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqk6ZTz4IsY
425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOXN0a9kEfy
「不會。」紫藤堅定地說：「我保證。」425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡomiE5KFQqh
425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi9A8VKQzvt
等到紫藤緩緩收起手後，杜若才按著胸口，下定決心地開口。425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡecucL9YUPS
425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqf9hedQ974
「……我想要救陶壺叔。」425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvlDeRwj5A5
425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmLfgDiJ9Ln
杜若喃喃吐出的回答令紫藤感到十分意外。425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDiRC678eAw
425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjxa0fA22ES
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？425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuq1us7jMt5
425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnuuATR8maI
就好像發現了紫藤的疑惑，杜若幽幽地繼續說道：425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI6nxWs97RK
425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnrrBP7M62t
「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。」425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0RN0nVvIEl
425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMgJy5tTwT1
全身慢慢就會不能動的病？425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtNFCM2Hj4s
425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4pnClwI8AI
這種病紫藤是頭一次聽見。425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡobafL5v9Sv
425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU8b0ggnTrg
「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。」425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡplK4diKR9I
425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVEa1TQzcHv
「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。425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAiwN9g1Nge
425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkLEKdQuCpN
「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。」425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxWiHSsOAbx
425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjSjHd8n3Co
杜若的笑只看得見無力。425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeuB5oN8OH3
425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTe28fNYwGK
「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。」425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwyL3O04cY2
425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4UokobpgGd
到這裡，杜若便沒有繼續說下去了。425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxFo8epMZhy
425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXRke9P1ikD
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。425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVAUcCwPHjM
425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVJWBxOcGcT
然而，紫藤卻忍不住想要質疑的念頭。425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDVdbqklF2F
425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfPoeTNfTdX
「那個狐狸、真的就這麼值得相信嗎？」425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhLFilEJKSN
425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYrzkSPGE5G
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。425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZkXPkWpbuv
425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIbsYpcZT8r
「……狐狸一直都對我很好呀。」425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡublzfl8Fns
425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5kpAduMovA
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。425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhGL6bTfhIS
425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhI7JiSvTZh
「所以，我還是相信狐狸。」425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpfD81yXMBj
425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv5rYQ0S7Z5
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。425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp1VQf3z3ez
425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa7JAuil8CE
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。425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLcYWz1mgHi
425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzIYdfgbka5
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。425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZNlPZOGbJu
425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpRtm6G9b81
哪怕、就算那道光芒是朝自己射出的子彈也一樣。425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ08NBfwVhlG
425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtf8Q91pO6h
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？425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6V3wYukRTd
425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeJypGWWPHy
這怎麼可能。425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡznoNhSy002
425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO52kgyl3rM
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。425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFnGnx9Mdp7
425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3D74YPeJcA
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。425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlzWgvc4OfU
425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmoCfgEHY4r
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。425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy9h21NL7um
425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR6HVu3ffDr
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。425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxGEusZ5t3R
425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWsarhPfkGS
察覺到掌心的柔軟，杜若看著紫藤靦腆地一笑。425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXWmgga16Fw
425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnt48Pchvvv
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425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGkXvRdq21m
425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5CZ5tWbPZS
「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。425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIGl7Soh1Z6
425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyoxKEhxJtx
「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！」425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡICfseHVlce
425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmEGcm7GEs0
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。425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvRcpS233yJ
425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqoLl6MhK1s
「不過，果然還是不能夠靠沙華會的人呢。」425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBbYrE8nb94
425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzlctVkMH60
經過剛才被反擊的經驗，讓兩人都對這點有了更多的共識。425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM0k6l8Aatp
425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIvTdSeniRz
說了句「話說回來」後，杜若就一轉話鋒、向紫藤問道：425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡATALTxQ5K8
425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpJc1pty0ap
「紫藤想要殺掉的人又是誰呀？紫藤還記得嗎？」425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf2SrRorxbh
425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1a1EuWaNCn
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。425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF0cUGa6Ybt
425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKA8VcixNcg
「是一個……在脖子後面紋著白色線條的沙華會紋身的人。」425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhKGqWtD4Z3
425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHfBVarcgvJ
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。425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡILnw28QCfe
425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc0mXwVvzso
「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。」425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQDCoUzyTDk
425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAwmgXLN2nh
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。425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHaOoO2EEGm
425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs1c92JeTpI
「這樣的話，我也來幫忙吧！」杜若自告奮勇地舉高手：425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ80ogk65oNY
425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb97iubut6d
「兩個人一起找絕對比較快的！」425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmxg3CoFxnS
425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkRbfvM4PoZ
杜若的模樣、讓紫藤晚了一步才發現自己說錯了話。425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL4b3waZw97
425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBUSk5WSRLn
紫藤默默地低下頭、沉聲回答。425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBQtLiBUrJo
425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiTxuP3K6a1
「……不用那樣。我……我自己就夠了。」425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYGt5283lTD
425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUX2LHrOBGx
這冷淡的回答讓杜若頓時像被潑了水的貓咪似地一愣。425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDnVJjHnmcw
425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmdZhDB1ZRN
「可是、紫藤不是說到現在都……」425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMM3I9fbJcp
425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡowAlbqNVdA
「這本來就是我自己的事。」425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOFfM89FiAV
425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQmHKdvyEil
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。425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNAXbqVgcNC
425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2V9d5n6MAA
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。425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlbNCowHMCb
425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ13YZNLumYn
「那要是紫藤遇到危險怎麼辦！」倏地，杜若站起身、提高音量425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ27LOlvzTkC
425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrpS1mYgSqB
「我就是為了保護自己，才會去學習要怎麼搏鬥。」425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP4HqZRXGPn
425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyIdqm30s3S
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。425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI8VBD1H9zo
425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVwp5hrhs76
「可是、假如對方有槍、假如遇到像今天一樣的事……」425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuSS97xyfIv
425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1EvqNJJCiZ
「我是不會讓自己被殺死的。」425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYIgRlAgFq8
425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZerx8OjsPj
「紫藤明明就傷成這樣、還說這種話……！」425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOwL3NZkXrJ
425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcNuYSDXNW9
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。425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡghwu49PVWr
425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7XfP6mVJ8y
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。425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8ZSI1r0Hsb
425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQh1yAHtbQJ
杜若雖然想甩開，但卻在一半就失去了力氣。425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpH0kkpDq1E
425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2gMQF0gkko
「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……」425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK8uxjZdDzJ
425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7TMFX4EpLj
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。425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTqpMT2ilqS
425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVq7RjRS1pZ
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？425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡygGRSMTisE
425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZFN7dNPKqg
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。425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8NfjCxymjL
425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhM5BDFOM5k
最後，紫藤還是用了奸詐的說法。425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf5g6GDfLh2
425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdW9IoC1erx
「我跟陶壺叔約定過，說不會讓妳受傷了。」425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaUbLgzHB3G
425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkKFse0jkdW
「那難道紫藤要我看著妳受傷嗎？」425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqY9XlBTXdp
425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW0Xhp5fJM7
雖然夾雜著鼻音、但這句話卻如此強而有力。425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpgZMFhFI1D
425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqwET2LYDqa
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。425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdAcZCGqStZ
425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmrWiRwnxve
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。425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9wXPkN9pg2
425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡje7OQNMxQ9
而紫藤打算再在杜若的身上再添一層相同的痛苦嗎？425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYfbzjbvjH9
425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfk00nPqCm7
紫藤無法回答，只是沉默地別開了視線。425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWYdvA5QEpD
425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvjYGGPjgSV
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？425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5g84W0Ufo2
425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2yD6ffpIsQ
哪條路都是崎嶇，哪條路也都是痛苦。425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNFidct3Cva
425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoKFas89mmA
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？425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡddGKZXEM3q
425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtlg9Pzi9wT
只因為就連接受也是痛苦吧。425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡie9DbeQrUk
425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlQVub167Bz
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？425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7379RkvzQA
425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡliV2Fqv7re
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。425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAXCmA8eDJ4
425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSDgceR8K1w
思及至此，紫藤才慢慢地放鬆了手中的力道。425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlRT4L6UJZZ
425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKfR9P9G30h
「答應我、要先保護好妳自己。」425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxwLntMXyu2
425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLF1rqTR8MQ
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。425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSXgzGlMIjr
425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡztyuPrW55z
「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。425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkuEDrnHxW9
425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWPSN00NrCo
「所以，我的份就用來保護紫藤吧！」425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCGKb2Ojcah
425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXwbCQ6D9d2
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。425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkO5pv69nAA
425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnFjLf2CW7N
「喔喔！紫藤笑了耶！」425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3XbZX2VP7L
425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiGfyLO6uss
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。425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl1vcGyrDMD
425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyJxILOmpDW
「哇啊啊——！對不起！」杜若立刻慌張地放下手來。425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzkwDSSz6lb
425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3sJYr1fpUj
疼痛雖然還沒散去，但紫藤還是發自內心地笑了。425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsk7JMYoZCA
425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5OlEcY8pZ6
「……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？」425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRPmYp3ro05
425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlM7H2bueUz
「咦？」這提議讓紫藤也感到意外地眨了眨眼。425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3PdMoKoBNW
425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXsQ9TTSXGf
「雖然是我自己猜的……不過狐狸應該很擅長找人吧。」425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8SXg8itFLm
425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb3AsDWzWrU
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。425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQUQ8BDUG9B
425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6v3KgdSclm
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。425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAPNWmmdmlt
425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdcxrDyLPRp
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。425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiJsUtxxaoj
425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVcFsWFw3YH
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？425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJliJdmBe46
425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnG1Fpp2NVV
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？425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb22rRN4yxL
425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIsHGxN1nnf
「那……可以幫我跟狐狸說說看嗎？」425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHZYFhhPvVy
425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDrlh3leuDL
「當然呀，這是我提議的嘛～」杜若自信地抱起手臂、挺起胸膛。425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwfbI6C95aL
425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn4cIcUjN7t
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。425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp3RIQvBr4r
425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBqKXDmNGfT
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。425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMvSurwpijo
425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡznrvwPmh4c
「妳的傷……換我幫妳吧。」425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeRC9TzHHVb
425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYIsvRmzecM
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。425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnETQrs4tLa
425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3KaT94kHTV
「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。425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmgHF17N8ZD
425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0K9o3Tnz73
「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。425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNSMgrYwutk
425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJUDINRB4fb
「撕得開來嗎？」杜若看著紫藤有些僵硬的動作，有所顧慮地問。425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBn7le6mGIm
425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAM7jK3oXYL
「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。425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUtVS4VK80e
425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ18jx01IQxQ
「……好了。換膝蓋吧。」425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFq4b8GHkb7
425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK9fwzFxwfn
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。425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtO0kFKaw7s
425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaE24SUwJKZ
「我臉上有什麼嗎？」紫藤不解地偏過頭。425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1Th4P7PXr7
425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrHSfFLC6vh
「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：425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtdguknSiv9
425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuvD4UYIvCV
「只是覺得紫藤認真的模樣……果然好帥喔。」425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOKZnt8G6ys
425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR4SXclxvrF
突如其來的稱讚，令紫藤頓時耳根一熱。425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDaKt33BDs7
425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJSHAwXeGpm
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？425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsj4gKVKpuG
425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡybsW14Rmf3
「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：425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxfHEnNTQkO
425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjr5RYfinEm
「謝謝……」425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3nhRAo9JU4
425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBj2NdXQ3i4
「嗯？」425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzuPVjZAWYS
425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4VmIdgSezn
「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……！」425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZAA9aVPN6N
425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh5NRbhqvUN
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。425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQQTOq5DiMB
425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqcCiSdPArd
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。425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZF2wQHxxzt
425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPLiDRlO8Cy
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。425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGZO5Mhkm9u
425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡypdxnLUxVo
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。425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYE5vmpLTvg
425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡttSPvpfx5i
「稍微……稍微彎起來一點。」425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ17z2c95MD5
425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiU5DQdCt4W
「這樣？」425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeCqDRrdRZM
425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡodFnE3HmO7
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。425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbn6mTkna83
425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVkvXvjIlsd
「……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。425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu1cRFmbfgV
425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIDKZXHbyMg
於是紫藤收起醫療用品，起身將箱子放回原位。425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHubwyjxt1G
425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2LhQnIKK4g
「對了，剛才紫藤提到的事件……」425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzFR9tj5Eox
425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAjcel876zl
就在要踏出房門的時候，杜若忽然想到了什麼似地開了口。425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNEfDMHQoPq
425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS3vZynX0Al
「事件、是倒塌事件嗎？」425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtuMxGG5YRS
425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcjYF3N2Mj1
「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。425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3cBRO91dgd
425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs3DjDlBm48
「怎麼了嗎？」看見杜若的模樣，令紫藤擔心地走了回去。425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsQSnOho8kD
425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYe0BVH6hIV
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。425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6Rx8ZhBf4b
425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTSAUlNMh6Y
「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！」425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3wmwQhjJfR
425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa77nXUU1l5
紫藤雖然感到疑惑，卻還是沒有多問地走出了房間。425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3gSKeX5smP
425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuRGENFxppo
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。425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY551vPm1Yd
425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtpXHIuehMf
「我們……好像弄錯順序了耶。」425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh6ETcjn9NO
425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOZvKk3RfNT
「……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。425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTeQ5eoVhCA
425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3MV2vZbymj
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。425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFubEO0AKdL
425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQLUIJSvmwr
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。425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZqQpYMvvCf
425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWsmcQ1MZq6
「紫藤需要我幫忙嗎？」425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0TNAP3aGF4
425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxzGp56KIWX
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。425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWfzR6AItlB
425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7QDsEgmyFT
「我、我自己來就可以了……」425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ07oxRThkx
425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmdJ8gTSLiT
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。425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYJkt72uIKW
425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS8whbEaeCW
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。425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ72LGYo09Or
425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKXHp8dIiOi
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。425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv6wgpb9jWH
425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhxmnysI2Ps
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。425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7yvEM3j4jh

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。425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHmI8nNktBq
425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnVZnlpp8Nt
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？425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpVs68Hu2ZD

「……紫藤。」425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJzOkg87ErZ
425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQogUqj7CM7
「怎麼了？」425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgRSlmrjEVT
425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFCA5CYVnOW
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。425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXFOwg9pqUc
425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ96ztr6xytR
「紫藤說、會一直在我身邊……我可以相信紫藤吧？」425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡopZ62akZBW
425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGFewbv2BJp
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。425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ99xrRQIIpZ
425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5UNjYFRD11
紫藤伸出手輕蓋在了杜若的後腦，卻沒有辦法就這麼點頭。425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY1ZycQYIhW
425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQQHBEMJeXS
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？425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0Flq9i2Rhs
425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvce0sLfBvK
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。425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5cYEUKbv3U
425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡphk6IJeVV4
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。425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYd3p7WK0Bx
425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzIZ7qUd6vs
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？425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV4p4X6Gz9g
425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFFv5GSdPqf
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。425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSg28QS1upp
425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDKlZtbUbbg
不過紫藤現在就在這裡。425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtBt9OaEYjz
425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy45fMkzyKT
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。425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPFLAJVxXQo
425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAwEfn9yKXR
於是、紫藤探出指頭，用指腹輕貼上了杜若的臉頰。425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH5KZJXURC6
425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG6jiGFHcLu
「……我會試著做到的。」425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxHkuRiWzFI
425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjCdnQK6Mf0
「什麼嘛……」聽見這不乾脆的回答，杜若便沒輒地笑了。425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4Oxrw4lfg0
425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFb7mIPKEbg
「不過……我相信紫藤喔。」425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnEnpMXvdaK
425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡItLRDGyYQV
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。425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVNh49itpQo
425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2X6z47rJd2
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。425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlAyyzlNXAA
425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPklCuSDCVo
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。425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGtthYttfss
425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjxEqnJ3l72
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。425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq293HbdbB0
425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhDmsNJuqho
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。425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx1F4uRfKPZ
