迴響的隆隆聲如同夢境般遠去。372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmpGk8ClHuj
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfNCk8Cg6Gb
從開出的小縫裡，一道狹窄的光切開了無邊無際的黑暗。372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsBo9IHWtXh
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQlBJZf2hq8
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。372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSWxsX3Oiwo
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡefXRM0Lzhx
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。372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXoaEHTwJK9
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVZjp3jL2eQ
連沙華會都靜謐下來，就代表連凌晨也快要結束了吧。372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS5thPv81Eb
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡceQNIspESJ
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。372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡspaQhOqyrT
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXzruud8FxV
「走吧。我們一起回去。」372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgBRM6693zA
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXwVN5WnCIe
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。372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb35Fmf35If
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBy9RErxXiO
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。372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzVB6VUAbDv
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfjUL8yyc5C
為了處理傷口，杜若讓紫藤靠到了床板上頭。372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCDXPWWI0xq
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRXpaw1pE4d
「嗚……！」372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrofU0BcOM7
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQqWSN4IiVi
消毒藥水碰到傷口的劇痛，讓紫藤吃痛地叫出悶聲。372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDEIIWhFEZQ
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiIALcpdAJJ
「很痛嗎……？」杜若停下動作，擔憂地看向紫藤。372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhgOQumJoYL
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnRNQnXZ2AW
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。372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5R8QjTYdDh
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzkmTppdqoH
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。372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3R2hJQkOuF
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHgruIh1Csi
「……我還可以忍。」說完，紫藤打直手臂。372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWdoQoAmVZH
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTxXLYz93sA
杜若點點頭，卻宛如做錯了事一般地垂下眼簾。372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6Rgd5rlHe5
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJsPPDKNsZG
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。372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe6fUiQts2R
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZqWhzy2azb
「那、再忍耐一下就好。」372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt5GxD4hhYX
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPfpl8RBwhw
「呼、呼……嗚——！」372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ19EJTrCQpz
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGuWSPK6mOd
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。372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH1fokZNh4f
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSayrRaBgKW
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。372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYNkZZtQL0Q
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAuBt9hXFjH
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。372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl8jCPFourq
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxhwPTUMH9u
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。372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB4gTmQwqe8
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJO4XVxmZgA
「還要喝嗎？」杜若捧著還有一半的水杯，輕柔地問。372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXe3yAXr37K
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnxOp9hWOhY
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。372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq0IU3BbagG
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡppDfFxu64h
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。372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEvYIa9Kgll
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRybotALpvi
「……謝謝。」372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHw9IN6ADuk
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡivGnhdQM5w
「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。372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo7WkaSqXoa
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLzbDZwQgZ6
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。372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiKPhvwgmSy
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1vqAn3zCLA
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。372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4oyhSDzNdR
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLUWNODc3AB
不過，這無疑都是事實。372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvO9GunQCmU
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6e8PAuzNQR
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。372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAr5IaI6jDV
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOfR3vzPxOK
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。372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjhEj6UL1c2
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP3aEgJmjRr
「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。372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ24iYRGvtSy
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq3UwamPIQo
沉默了半晌，紫藤才慢慢地開口。372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYpUOctQZH6
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3d4CuESbrM
「是我媽媽的遺物。」372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0LqJf7CWec
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRoB7zWAcZC
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。372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk2UuihVvIq
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhjIfLZ5Cla
「咦……？那為什麼會在墨駒的手裡呀？」杜若不假思索地問道。372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqPuz8lYjhR
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCpR1SbC8yI
「我也不知道。」紫藤搖搖頭，黯然地闔上雙眼。372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5mDQZCpW1H
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdfUHrOx5ML
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。372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNXyIR0GZvx
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfn5yHRq1Ml
「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：372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIrQ7P5ExF8
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9DYPslDb4X
「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。」372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBQZQMCxgMO
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPjakfy9GlK
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。372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGP9It4F5su
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkLZohSlNxO
「這就是那時候、他們從媽媽的身上搶走的東西之一。」372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLy8R9b8Tiq
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKC1GgjTtXg
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。372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtwydrCBwkf
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMYg6VdQPDY
從那時起，濺在臉上的那朵紅花就已經在紫藤的心頭生根。372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJpThbVmVld
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUWZfqfvh7j
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。372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBScyNY45rP
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvSPeUtvWet
「原來……這是對紫藤來說這麼重要的東西啊。」372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAVou4dPMfY
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡepiBbX1APw
「嗯。」紫藤在胸前連同戒指握緊了拳頭。372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGIiRiNJg0C
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT4jlgEc8F1
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。372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz6Trky1Ehl
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUYePiM5Fvi
自己已經不想要再失去任何東西了。372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyipIWgJIh6
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe0dZJaTwLJ
「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。372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡio0mNB8eCm
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuSwrVjDVSj
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。372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzo2m5MjDr5
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9O1gYIMTZl
「媽媽他——」372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIoUUdV4dCZ
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaZtLwRTAbT
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。372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2MI2RSdyig
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡktu4dJKjWM
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」。372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMX2p7s8n3H
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNdgJsS7fzG
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。372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaqTh8QVFtC
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOEGxEULhD5
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。372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSLnGjZwRMI
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHVdZJo3lWH
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。372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdI2Drz0v7H
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOVuwtXq1GW
但紫藤一點都不喜歡學校。372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdFwWsuoiXn
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡorLAxhNWoA
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。372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuKA1uPT3kq
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9JVgFZ2Ti3
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。372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZBve8v2tgQ
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqW4yT86q8J
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。372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIInWSuwLAq
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9tWxyvkqU5
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。372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH6NWaFnfQX
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcTO8w8srsz
嗯，這樣就夠了。那時的紫藤只有這麼單純的滿足。372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0W0m01LbhE
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxqsqj32N6B
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。372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ05ldHrUi7
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL2pYlqALwN
那是一起倒塌事件。372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUlhttGYtOi
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuoGJNUHZsN
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。372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡepdZSvu4D4
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡamvU2esoMb
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。372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgiBG3arq1M
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj6lVFLXeD2
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。372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl1lSpeqgeT
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLSB4TEaMGF
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。372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp6Xp2ME1iQ
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwvR0SXy0Ja
「……我會找到給墨駒這個戒指的人。」372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGUDxrbeYL0
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl0mCzzPNQd
收起回憶，紫藤再次握緊了戒指。372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKk3iHMB6cN
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxhWxWfDWCo
「然後，殺了他。」372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzzQEsV6H19
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4EDDwFnLOO
紫藤的眼神猶如熾火，沒有一分一毫的搖曳。372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvu2EzXpLNq
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLw5UAtPA0I
但只不過幾秒，便很快地萎靡了下來。372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ77EeBoXZmx
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj14nDclVnq
「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。」372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkVJkzCefOp
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwk6ZdnQl0o
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。372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8HrVqWDod5
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLerhVHmT3W
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。372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxoiwgpKC41
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX5FLta8J0o
「原來、這就是紫藤想要跟我一起行動的原因呀。」372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlDDKSZwL3z
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRO0DeW7d4H
「……嗯。」372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzS3QQbQogj
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnL10cTWpFH
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。372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpwZDB9gp8A
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2pkg3z8JSx
紫藤深信，這就是自己向那些骯髒禽獸復仇的楔子。372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr3DH4Qurml
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPamqPyGcme
這就是足以斬斷自己心頭那朵紅花的白刃。372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3moJ7IeGfE
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXa6sDZpDHw
「……杜若妳呢？」372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMWxRw3I4E4
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlumxQZZFO9
紫藤拾起快要滿溢的情感，回望了杜若那如新月般的雙眸。372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk2zOmWMY6K
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8H8alZQoZI
「又是為什麼……會開始當殺手？」372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgdn16KclEN
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUJ5yQ2ZYqx
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。372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKZRnlW4ULe
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ55wMXpkoRW
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。372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp1uqz1g2GP
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ64VUwDBOz2
「紫藤……不會生氣吧？」372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv1oUkcVPiC
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpLl04IHVTu
杜若果然還在意著那時自己的衝動。372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyFlxEO52by
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW6t5aSCOQt
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。372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHWSx8dEVdt
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxWjVcuj1RW
「不會。」紫藤堅定地說：「我保證。」372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiCzgOO4BX1
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtUlO3Le32J
等到紫藤緩緩收起手後，杜若才按著胸口，下定決心地開口。372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCmOHCUstIw
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJUIaTyDqEU
「……我想要救陶壺叔。」372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsNI73P16zy
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡteCMwbZmkO
杜若喃喃吐出的回答令紫藤感到十分意外。372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHUqzHWOKIF
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbiUgNEaOd4
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？372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ88KalXr8n6
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQtUvb7rLJH
就好像發現了紫藤的疑惑，杜若幽幽地繼續說道：372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRgHnpg0XKD
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqmOSFX2t9a
「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。」372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjYPQGzauaV
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRMFhKeuCXg
全身慢慢就會不能動的病？372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx4ETINIWge
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7MBZUmNHR5
這種病紫藤是頭一次聽見。372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQRs139r6hc
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDdJ9tUX9pY
「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。」372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeTiDqxSHOs
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKXUC66yF1j
「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。372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgkBg9UQK37
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLZyUX0USYV
「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。」372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBswrndn4sf
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiJcBGAxSfH
杜若的笑只看得見無力。372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0SAQQKLVvh
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkbsH6TB1Jw
「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。」372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgC1QSOFVrt
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq5hDYlpWQE
到這裡，杜若便沒有繼續說下去了。372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUoBwjz7LbV
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRILwJ5ggCw
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。372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8YcPB0CcfX
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsOilwsP1YJ
然而，紫藤卻忍不住想要質疑的念頭。372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUtIeJomSjE
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8xEQojKwP2
「那個狐狸、真的就這麼值得相信嗎？」372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNrQV3qBhp7
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJbom4dFqWE
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。372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ94T3vygTA4
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ87xxh6Ixz
「……狐狸一直都對我很好呀。」372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9oesHlxXAs
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡur0Uv0lRbl
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。372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhD95nWuR2s
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR00Gm13cq5
「所以，我還是相信狐狸。」372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7x3jiIHh7z
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXQbYkzeY25
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。372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHUtizAeHBb
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡetP8jWjiL4
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。372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9DVzSDNVys
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx73jxMTgJr
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。372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPUfzwqId0E
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgkQtGgiysz
哪怕、就算那道光芒是朝自己射出的子彈也一樣。372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ7K2W4hsbP
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeXAngNKRSc
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？372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaQA4JqtMdg

這怎麼可能。372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuKFiKfRxBd
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXoffj4FOY8
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。372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡohRcnTKgAT
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxWj11cGxZa
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。372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTmGapLaf9V
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfBBj24MgBO
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。372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvCBZocxlN3
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjGAmu7IQd9
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。372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVhnH65agum
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv1bJMaRJZg
察覺到掌心的柔軟，杜若看著紫藤靦腆地一笑。372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn3NhtOT9yU
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWRsvigMU6b
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372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiL6zfKNznP
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7T5T7vRBQU
「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。372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7GpFK4TH2H
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5sdi7b9mlI
「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！」372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzW6F2dS1mH
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIgpb0PiaWA
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。372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNemCe20nSg
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡll8zkCqKCK
「不過，果然還是不能夠靠沙華會的人呢。」372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXR24146kdX
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP7afJhAeuQ
經過剛才被反擊的經驗，讓兩人都對這點有了更多的共識。372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuFUBscFiRd
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2BR0W2kvyp
說了句「話說回來」後，杜若就一轉話鋒、向紫藤問道：372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTuokn58uky
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIzuSR1Xrrn
「紫藤想要殺掉的人又是誰呀？紫藤還記得嗎？」372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2OKSLkeVpl
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSHop56PEIV
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。372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiGeR2v8Hz8
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcdkkbMs2sT
「是一個……在脖子後面紋著白色線條的沙華會紋身的人。」372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi5OMx4Lq85
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ38BH2kZvPy
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。372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBS4T5dZoFa
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLptepK4WDk
「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。」372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZPpRp4gwid
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0jxUoKcqKv
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。372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8MHl8vk5qd
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyKBIOkMqpk
「這樣的話，我也來幫忙吧！」杜若自告奮勇地舉高手：372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeQUOnNqv06
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBmfI4Y7zZj
「兩個人一起找絕對比較快的！」372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqHnSHEw9d0
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlIbNWc4Czt
杜若的模樣、讓紫藤晚了一步才發現自己說錯了話。372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuChfIgjx2L
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO1oRZhxx21
紫藤默默地低下頭、沉聲回答。372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJndd6FvKIj
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7CU1V7N34f
「……不用那樣。我……我自己就夠了。」372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5BZTME3LTo
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPQSQ6mZN6t
這冷淡的回答讓杜若頓時像被潑了水的貓咪似地一愣。372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyq4NDahOub
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNJEorWKfAJ
「可是、紫藤不是說到現在都……」372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsoBZs7OhmP
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBB7WDq41Do
「這本來就是我自己的事。」372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5n98Qo3Jg6
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiryZScy6ip
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。372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTpyDYcD6p8
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbuDcDUZo5A
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。372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbbXE52bZku
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGddyR7uf0t
「那要是紫藤遇到危險怎麼辦！」倏地，杜若站起身、提高音量372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡphWfNSzAX9
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVrfTerr6sc
「我就是為了保護自己，才會去學習要怎麼搏鬥。」372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrOXgWaNfQI
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡebUOtP30xD
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。372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡASFOSx8fxf
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM5nyQOoxeF
「可是、假如對方有槍、假如遇到像今天一樣的事……」372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS4L6UUkAxe
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE1hs15S1Vl
「我是不會讓自己被殺死的。」372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8vTXiPkJou
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvaS2SoNrVx
「紫藤明明就傷成這樣、還說這種話……！」372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQqPXgilfkg
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡksXylRfgLk
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。372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQkJriedKRi
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUPPhFICU20
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。372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaahuraLcoZ
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡabQtWEZloP
杜若雖然想甩開，但卻在一半就失去了力氣。372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrFYaiMwLXQ
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbJgQ2pmTgl
「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……」372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWQWIC1xTi1
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmsuSh4idwg
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。372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpUJHsA4ZBP
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW6ZpBS2qQa
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？372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWsg2PdI640
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhNDedM3TH6
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。372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWCEj3WEV0d
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSR4GXKZqLP
最後，紫藤還是用了奸詐的說法。372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpr9z02UhPn
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrTbrewSXut
「我跟陶壺叔約定過，說不會讓妳受傷了。」372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUvcsOmzHES
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI6zzO4PDRJ
「那難道紫藤要我看著妳受傷嗎？」372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNmEdY4zsVU
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxPehoIFnd5
雖然夾雜著鼻音、但這句話卻如此強而有力。372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6gz8JdwYWT
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ30op45dxDU
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。372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfwSiffii7m
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTtjNq9ODRC
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。372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxqd0k4w0Zl
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡntZbvmsON0
而紫藤打算再在杜若的身上再添一層相同的痛苦嗎？372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9UzIknwISg
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW2UxIoYeCP
紫藤無法回答，只是沉默地別開了視線。372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwOQ3LDkBe7
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdpAOhSJffp
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？372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡql64vfrENy
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKbkkybBKHl
哪條路都是崎嶇，哪條路也都是痛苦。372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV9LUKiw3LC
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJbzjyrm333
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？372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNU71oKDHBW
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ08USPKwHQI
只因為就連接受也是痛苦吧。372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVxpbE2kGH3
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYFEYNbfkXT
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？372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCzh7R0125I
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtJxPIyQdTW
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。372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjedKgHduh8
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyhn5QCpNwl
思及至此，紫藤才慢慢地放鬆了手中的力道。372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3UP5X9PoYK
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWSsTlaSnZH
「答應我、要先保護好妳自己。」372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrEE7q2eEg5
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnnd0H7y6ZS
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。372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnJlqIlueoF
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhI6HY5wdVN
「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。372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKukg45yA8x
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpDX4C6kqCS
「所以，我的份就用來保護紫藤吧！」372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡURFst06RWx
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡezv32vOZ8p
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。372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzoC0HmlyKe
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv5HoFr5fbU
「喔喔！紫藤笑了耶！」372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu8XWexl5fj
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXGBMEc17ae
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。372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOlMbjPMtf7
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOTShdqyz9b
「哇啊啊——！對不起！」杜若立刻慌張地放下手來。372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQxk9pU1pIL
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt8daU2N24w
疼痛雖然還沒散去，但紫藤還是發自內心地笑了。372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXotWAnLRbb
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgUll41nKlq
「……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？」372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRSDnF4NplA
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnktR9ESH6u
「咦？」這提議讓紫藤也感到意外地眨了眨眼。372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf2KdVvJ2Ta
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡezNoaXonrE
「雖然是我自己猜的……不過狐狸應該很擅長找人吧。」372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNfXzRMQBO3
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwQBm378d8n
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。372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk3PC3NPjml
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡePY25Ea3jM
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。372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZDLy12hmXO
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrSpK1XQ6nZ
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。372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXnFftIAiKk
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBfGVx1eZyR
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？372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYJCkmKiOFj
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5LYTUTdHYg
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？372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOg79UKuVy7
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7VpFhZgcoL
「那……可以幫我跟狐狸說說看嗎？」372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt4FGq9avun
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcVCPEu1lhB
「當然呀，這是我提議的嘛～」杜若自信地抱起手臂、挺起胸膛。372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDBxWbm0BkW
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRjhNNCh6FY
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。372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzBuCWsJrZQ
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0sT2iBL99q
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。372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUKGVgerPTH
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyceyYPw56W
「妳的傷……換我幫妳吧。」372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5cmxIQY9C6
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKp4Cl8x0k8
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。372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwWs4CO3gWn
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp5w6unJUGf
「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。372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG9hxCLNGt6
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcQx0uJee13
「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。372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy4XM8PNbD0
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWThE2QpjAw
「撕得開來嗎？」杜若看著紫藤有些僵硬的動作，有所顧慮地問。372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVrNhl6rfrs
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR8Bhwpeabx
「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。372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPvMcCSYU6D
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDdWECijF9g
「……好了。換膝蓋吧。」372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJkATladlUS
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwJrpPUbmvB
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。372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwOlsLXpQ5d
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKcEUnkDFYT
「我臉上有什麼嗎？」紫藤不解地偏過頭。372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBfxWFXNp54
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC8l997lyLO
「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：372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWYoJtEnI0j
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4vonGCMKG3
「只是覺得紫藤認真的模樣……果然好帥喔。」372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsoOOMZC6Wz
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXOjfrjPCZw
突如其來的稱讚，令紫藤頓時耳根一熱。372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVpO4w1wqgN
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHM7YL2IRHj
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？372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPc5wWu7RHx
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxqa06ktAMJ
「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：372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUZCJD8BaXv
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡptPMim6Hej
「謝謝……」372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw0cV2Qxkn8
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAzXm96GPyT
「嗯？」372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡglIFqoHwJ9
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0tIg3rXshw
「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……！」372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡty9GcdVQgv
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAWtxexeqEB
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。372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqbohVLSn58
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn8bXnXuqDI
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。372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNIy1EAaq0u
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡICsX93TcqA
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。372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2RWKgZBHOT
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0tcdNJspZo
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。372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyFnCQxOU50
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3rBrzw47ry
「稍微……稍微彎起來一點。」372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOir2eCZbwK
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfOmMNOmVrJ
「這樣？」372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡujp0cToBE4
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcI1Iq8ePrg
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。372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxyeLX5kU1o
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx4xUvNvHZy
「……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。372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo0TE2DmUzo
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUFzsI8lA0K
於是紫藤收起醫療用品，起身將箱子放回原位。372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsiaondRchP
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCl0nKbBxWm
「對了，剛才紫藤提到的事件……」372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3qNKghBftw
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFmQWom05Gt
就在要踏出房門的時候，杜若忽然想到了什麼似地開了口。372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXdB9ivUi7B
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtbbohCPDaO
「事件、是倒塌事件嗎？」372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLverDGKcaP
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw23zLquold
「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。372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJLDU0jRrEa
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1YtaGBW2iR
「怎麼了嗎？」看見杜若的模樣，令紫藤擔心地走了回去。372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkWciTeO6oR
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWW3gDFZNIw
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。372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBcnhEpJOWS
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuH9dkzsU2h
「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！」372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMJtOVcuRqH
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCiMfglsC4E
紫藤雖然感到疑惑，卻還是沒有多問地走出了房間。372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI9CmA5nBfG
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQrpHR1ba2c
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。372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJZNkFENUZQ
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsMkNDud8p6
「我們……好像弄錯順序了耶。」372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl1P23hwesD
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc484UsGLqk
「……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。372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡINQwagdeJO
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2Ia27eT3pW
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。372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlYq4w7n6BL
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeWoUL1W3VB
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。372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9DRae0EG06
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH6oHT3BXEc
「紫藤需要我幫忙嗎？」372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNPgu89TqXe
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzFYBaWhkwG
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。372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDOxxRQAXbS
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhHI9XDfawi
「我、我自己來就可以了……」372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwTuhzvzlxH
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpdjJXgx1ZQ
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。372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkMSbffxsza
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz15SIQBr0D
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。372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQqHNNbdqcv
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDIq0YKxPHU
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。372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPLxagyeuSS
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2lfA2FDwvm
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。372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlOhmRxw4qT
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhiUvijFCsx
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。372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi8m1ZgrjMB
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJFfIdNHy0q
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？372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNYNAdZpOZY

「……紫藤。」372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGnxNV8Lqco
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7nrueHgDuB
「怎麼了？」372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLX0o8da0Rl
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ48SePDnDMt
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。372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9Ek3UDb7kx
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOhAwRxJKcZ
「紫藤說、會一直在我身邊……我可以相信紫藤吧？」372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoCq47rLdVd
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeBVlTOdGjZ
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。372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv7dskRgDzu
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN78cDRM0bL
紫藤伸出手輕蓋在了杜若的後腦，卻沒有辦法就這麼點頭。372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiQB1DzlpSw
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1AQ9tImOZm
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？372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOUWHb76NuB
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXclLoQ3iNQ
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。372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTjPnd25R1o
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7l4l7orXbt
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。372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpBIS4mkcsL
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfzH2vzBnIV
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？372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj6062uYfoh
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdORmc525pG
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。372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaR1Q5V6hdI
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE9cXz5cTpD
不過紫藤現在就在這裡。372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6R76uS9mVG
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv8K0Ok9Wef
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。372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO9MUY8hxMM
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhJnilnL3Fm
於是、紫藤探出指頭，用指腹輕貼上了杜若的臉頰。372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYNX4719i7I
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiUJ1nnbXsU
「……我會試著做到的。」372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYIIwlp2Wu8
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡItAX7ufUOQ
「什麼嘛……」聽見這不乾脆的回答，杜若便沒輒地笑了。372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAckFAAS5JG
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1jMlSBS3bP
「不過……我相信紫藤喔。」372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwghMwei29t
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDi71v3WHWG
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。372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtviRKb30PT
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgCmkN37lBy
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。372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXaBmX4tgZe
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ8ufyzvMm8
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。372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwkt1CK1wV9
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBKcV6uzdIf
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。372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcfPahQvDOM
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJBgFyzdC4Z
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。372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0nmbicElNx
