迴響的隆隆聲如同夢境般遠去。456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrX5qfWO52A
456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM2jpksnF5Z
從開出的小縫裡，一道狹窄的光切開了無邊無際的黑暗。456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoUb7ZAmdCR
456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGIJXIFb2sI
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。456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDuR9B4cjk8
456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIogZamuY1z
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。456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDC4yfn4T0H
456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqbe5P4KnMO
連沙華會都靜謐下來，就代表連凌晨也快要結束了吧。456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡny16SRKClY
456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg6CDhOWTPG
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。456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrsT60fq24D
456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU9Y0pQtmc9
「走吧。我們一起回去。」456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyW1sR9KGmT
456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIkjMoND9OL
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。456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsN6KblUVGX
456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJfHxHZqGun
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。456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDdgdjqcEKr
456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPQVGP8LEP7
為了處理傷口，杜若讓紫藤靠到了床板上頭。456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqRe9s5zDB5
456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPDdmcv9pWW
「嗚……！」456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDUioVzGE2P
456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhrIXRX9Ukb
消毒藥水碰到傷口的劇痛，讓紫藤吃痛地叫出悶聲。456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ91iCUKnrzf
456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXbTgi72VYX
「很痛嗎……？」杜若停下動作，擔憂地看向紫藤。456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXp2EoQr1OZ
456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRLR6TLoaMn
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。456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡye9eYGo7Tz
456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ71Nq25J5nN
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。456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4NqNyY7jQ6
456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRSEEme3z5n
「……我還可以忍。」說完，紫藤打直手臂。456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSmTrmuEr40
456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ21XsJ42OHD
杜若點點頭，卻宛如做錯了事一般地垂下眼簾。456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxYBAVaL6Ia
456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8GgWo9gvZd
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。456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ87cVZ1Hyim
456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBsQLcHHj5y
「那、再忍耐一下就好。」456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWiSmcv9xhK
456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXHyAwpayHa
「呼、呼……嗚——！」456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnCdL4k8hLO
456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmAJJxI20kw
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。456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuMZ872LZLg
456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRNNaSFY81z
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。456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVRZl3uZY5z
456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWpFigfCjVL
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。456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIjTOVGDfp3
456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1mTnpJyMkt
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。456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCPyv1MYcSO
456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXkFTtJ3Neu
「還要喝嗎？」杜若捧著還有一半的水杯，輕柔地問。456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzOwfbcJqfX
456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGo52NPTfUP
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。456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuykHkUE3eY
456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRznpLvlGIS
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。456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnLkmxWeGwm
456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlNwdjcu1Dh
「……謝謝。」456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJZknLr8NMC
456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNkMKPKQqYX
「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。456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR99bgeJXqy
456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGhyp68bCCX
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。456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxVdc3yBwX8
456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKWvfbr9Z8G
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。456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaGuhJtBMfb
456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9O4Uvommiu
不過，這無疑都是事實。456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxrKmqtptPK
456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc8dYTGAUEU
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。456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXARj7EyBWZ
456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsmpcGE5qwK
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。456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpnKjFnmmsQ
456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJHmo9IUGVZ
「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。456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3xwyewqky4
456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTkDg2y6KPj
沉默了半晌，紫藤才慢慢地開口。456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqTQ4pZnqfs
456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLBW4xr39xK
「是我媽媽的遺物。」456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlGImrrGFrk
456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxpX1FwCVAC
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。456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmkbpiJWVEF
456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMNcEUNZwPJ
「咦……？那為什麼會在墨駒的手裡呀？」杜若不假思索地問道。456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqsCB1Te0o4
456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWKUBsnRg3D
「我也不知道。」紫藤搖搖頭，黯然地闔上雙眼。456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbR6mN2cekM
456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs5FHdX7Bka
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。456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxjTP90CxbF
456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSyVedlzGCf
「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：456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRPQzyxDTXp
456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1uxNElUSqV
「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。」456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf2AKpgfrne
456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNbwbQLNPaQ
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。456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsyc7kC4yR2
456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmdIJLdCwD5
「這就是那時候、他們從媽媽的身上搶走的東西之一。」456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfrURNY97aQ
456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzihi3CqCH4
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。456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBBkaSXQIya
456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYxGVB8Rmkw
從那時起，濺在臉上的那朵紅花就已經在紫藤的心頭生根。456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf2roFPYeNT
456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvYvFbKhFOU
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。456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbOc4IlQNUv
456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIsx6GF55zS
「原來……這是對紫藤來說這麼重要的東西啊。」456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3A86ffniNq
456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2wh1ImEkUB
「嗯。」紫藤在胸前連同戒指握緊了拳頭。456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw3sN293NkI
456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkYecBSKIF4
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。456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ7p1mFZSCL
456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx1JUEEBZsd
自己已經不想要再失去任何東西了。456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡql2WIOgB9F
456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr3ltPB7z6g
「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。456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHfZpAqytc0
456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiSdN9qKvJn
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。456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYxI2x3AcRb
456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwglhF44zJb
「媽媽他——」456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXYM4MsIKBM
456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn4KMqPimf7
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。456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrEdNP27jsO
456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPYz9lRRTGD
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」。456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtverkrIysW
456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT0z4e41zAk
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。456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDvQbf5PhaB
456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVDH2sSqDEt
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。456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfPl0ltVONX
456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡspVVsRcBLi
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。456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP1MVi5fa5i
456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWjZ8TlAdtN
但紫藤一點都不喜歡學校。456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgH31Cww5nG
456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfdNNZsOCxT
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。456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdKJS54zrcN
456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtMyMKeCwoK
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。456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQb4JzNhgyZ
456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF4byzOnb22
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。456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7DDq0HkYkq
456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMILKWwers3
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。456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5G3Irq8uEa
456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR5p21OhhuW
嗯，這樣就夠了。那時的紫藤只有這麼單純的滿足。456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9jK9RAKIQx
456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiHrr4Qv53t
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。456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvyh2M2Ryop
456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGFfjE2u1Gd
那是一起倒塌事件。456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMnR7bIi5Ww
456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrneFj7uj5F
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。456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWg5JvfCAPS
456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSNxtn5I20K
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。456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ601uQ1Qnj8
456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVCUbtdHess
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。456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM8bOkQng5A
456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1S1JUqsV3Z
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。456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm3BMszSn4M
456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIYRFzxibKw
「……我會找到給墨駒這個戒指的人。」456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEE8Ddofsv5
456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3bGarNDieQ
收起回憶，紫藤再次握緊了戒指。456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqo4CEA6VNh
456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJUukqggV6Z
「然後，殺了他。」456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbJubsBB2sw
456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDp4yAunuhK
紫藤的眼神猶如熾火，沒有一分一毫的搖曳。456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJf1SuWHETt
456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY0bNMtVIMI
但只不過幾秒，便很快地萎靡了下來。456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrMFMHKgYm5
456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡugtPQpGVDR
「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。」456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0P5V77Apnq
456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡelhffKis9G
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。456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuZd7aniPjr
456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl04G3A9R0w
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。456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8a8nUGspug
456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIia3edvz2i
「原來、這就是紫藤想要跟我一起行動的原因呀。」456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzl3rjCIxwr
456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtxsqxbEjJe
「……嗯。」456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLG0A3y3ktu
456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZzmU2OVpLh
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。456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiv7dcScGB0
456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfq43D89K9K
紫藤深信，這就是自己向那些骯髒禽獸復仇的楔子。456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzSsOnGvVV0
456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6w2HnSwAGq
這就是足以斬斷自己心頭那朵紅花的白刃。456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3OgRUSLp53
456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjdK8QpDnIj
「……杜若妳呢？」456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJE9ldFX89A
456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKhokjc0Y73
紫藤拾起快要滿溢的情感，回望了杜若那如新月般的雙眸。456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoxL0IYgPMR
456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzjYjKrAXWI
「又是為什麼……會開始當殺手？」456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSjBlNTNjH2
456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOrEl5Yiell
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。456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1x42pj7iLj
456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ06SniUVHAf
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。456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWTfFz7XBXT
456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxCi52H6wB6
「紫藤……不會生氣吧？」456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpXpPQEBLTb
456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsvoAKmDeq9
杜若果然還在意著那時自己的衝動。456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMGKuWFtNkS
456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ11AFHHfxJW
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。456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKJlChtNJ79
456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRvX8cv4NWG
「不會。」紫藤堅定地說：「我保證。」456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSMt2cKNE8p
456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW07n0wxDRr
等到紫藤緩緩收起手後，杜若才按著胸口，下定決心地開口。456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkIJID1ClVO
456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ21t4XdS7Tn
「……我想要救陶壺叔。」456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvqoJq47hfm
456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0X1KFWsQgb
杜若喃喃吐出的回答令紫藤感到十分意外。456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbqlj3CgGyH
456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtOMQt2Ks3E
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？456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3cMrqhjqbU
456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM9pHjBkYRp
就好像發現了紫藤的疑惑，杜若幽幽地繼續說道：456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRaWy6NzjwC
456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy8K5KlJUpO
「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。」456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6BIx0kQry9
456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDLhlskpOvR
全身慢慢就會不能動的病？456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡECpAb5qzhA
456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQWmUxH1n1O
這種病紫藤是頭一次聽見。456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHj92dkI8kK
456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHa7gkgAwpq
「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。」456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY12pH9YhUn
456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfAOhgXwLN0
「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。456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsvVM0QbQ46
456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIRuYXDVEmW
「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。」456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjFQhBTLh6H
456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAEuu4KLdTX
杜若的笑只看得見無力。456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ06wqcn9ELX
456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFr7blRwL7D
「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。」456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfek8AldD3r
456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzUpPuT2Fn9
到這裡，杜若便沒有繼續說下去了。456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHBZUEZgZDh
456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA18HH1bZBx
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。456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgM2eGGSF9q
456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh71Zek0Sry
然而，紫藤卻忍不住想要質疑的念頭。456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiIRumd0Wj3
456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE70tHqWzte
「那個狐狸、真的就這麼值得相信嗎？」456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkYPQ4o53Et
456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCYenAKOkOi
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。456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFXsgt4U7Zk
456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9wlafOd8LC
「……狐狸一直都對我很好呀。」456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYjRehdhhqS
456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZT0ksIJCON
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。456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmGqQ3MwkxW
456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsrVBUKIW3X
「所以，我還是相信狐狸。」456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEQ5bDcp893
456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1SnlykS8EA
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。456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV9Mk1eI2UP
456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiSdZEcBdqS
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。456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuRStPrpQBc
456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfA5xxU6s9q
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。456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvowCFK8Djm
456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhK4fjgQtNx
哪怕、就算那道光芒是朝自己射出的子彈也一樣。456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhH9EdDAeA0
456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmhamMxF72Y
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？456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhaeEyl1x90

這怎麼可能。456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSmIxlyqSUm
456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPx0KxvcOpj
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。456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5vYWVAAI7l
456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEyuZVwgAdn
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。456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYDycCSTyw4
456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5EoyToylqh
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。456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxmzC2dAZx8
456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ97iVpMRWv3
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。456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSomGKMf5WQ
456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkh3egPXafC
察覺到掌心的柔軟，杜若看著紫藤靦腆地一笑。456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtFvOvXVhyB
456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOaIjbULWzx
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456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP2ssOwqqti
456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlXV7oQ5UhN
「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。456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡltTwp7KeMT
456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAiVj6aHRMm
「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！」456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCQWFru7hQp
456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsNB1Dc91nK
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。456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmOL1UqvOhL
456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVDn94IBNFA
「不過，果然還是不能夠靠沙華會的人呢。」456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy4jf1oE5zw
456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTnESNSEIBG
經過剛才被反擊的經驗，讓兩人都對這點有了更多的共識。456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnAy5CWMp9P
456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlB4QEO0wEj
說了句「話說回來」後，杜若就一轉話鋒、向紫藤問道：456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfOIkWnZIL3
456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpVtFMo6xHl
「紫藤想要殺掉的人又是誰呀？紫藤還記得嗎？」456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbfpPp3tIqZ
456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaphJcUSJjL
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。456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3okd0ujVbo
456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJn9FaotxW8
「是一個……在脖子後面紋著白色線條的沙華會紋身的人。」456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSrGXbBnh0U
456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ22T5taYYst
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。456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRiNnH0i97M
456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKnLAN64Shq
「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。」456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3ZO0kp8nOu
456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHd2e1C4hlo
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。456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu99XwiUihX
456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡru9R2aNgu2
「這樣的話，我也來幫忙吧！」杜若自告奮勇地舉高手：456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡthJJK6kjWa
456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVAeEEo7rD8
「兩個人一起找絕對比較快的！」456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfpeDsG7zY9
456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOmPovo4O09
杜若的模樣、讓紫藤晚了一步才發現自己說錯了話。456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPtYAyhwZVO
456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEhGs15s7p1
紫藤默默地低下頭、沉聲回答。456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtq7gXqQNYq
456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsgpJEKY7GT
「……不用那樣。我……我自己就夠了。」456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuxL3m57sPL
456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFe6sxZJPSD
這冷淡的回答讓杜若頓時像被潑了水的貓咪似地一愣。456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4AXc2jemVK
456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpYD2NSxog5
「可是、紫藤不是說到現在都……」456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGG33OoC5a9
456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoFKdsPeXOz
「這本來就是我自己的事。」456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFZRI4zjGuz
456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ47PRx1fI8
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。456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0nPH33ROjo
456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNF2qnCbuPC
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。456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkXA3tf48c3
456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEyOKW9iDiv
「那要是紫藤遇到危險怎麼辦！」倏地，杜若站起身、提高音量456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmdy6jzit62
456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡruUYAz5Fo9
「我就是為了保護自己，才會去學習要怎麼搏鬥。」456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2L3cEKIolG
456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCa64YnEBsf
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。456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ479rRq3WkD
456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvP4YWTZeYo
「可是、假如對方有槍、假如遇到像今天一樣的事……」456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEuZ9ozwSUY
456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIV4LcTu99r
「我是不會讓自己被殺死的。」456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0g2mUSKCtE
456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjmu0bfCTgR
「紫藤明明就傷成這樣、還說這種話……！」456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfhl55cZqpF
456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOTdICqhfGY
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。456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6wONyG44p0
456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjAoBhO0cUU
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。456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWR4tbMrPky
456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZqnnxODgDC
杜若雖然想甩開，但卻在一半就失去了力氣。456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHL09txUjFh
456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8mLndwRUvC
「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……」456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXFbge0YGk7
456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ25fp5n0Bx
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。456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOUynK0Q7RO
456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡniWkaewezF
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？456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM6H8c3Ey3h
456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡykTg2yeLa9
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。456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKZcyS4bNq1
456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxzr3GWqieR
最後，紫藤還是用了奸詐的說法。456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡog0vyICzzL
456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkJYGq5Rre7
「我跟陶壺叔約定過，說不會讓妳受傷了。」456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnZeX6FxeZm
456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFwysETQvp7
「那難道紫藤要我看著妳受傷嗎？」456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzbh1eCQoxS
456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOADhHHRHtf
雖然夾雜著鼻音、但這句話卻如此強而有力。456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7e9KkJHg8H
456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmDvpgm2U6W
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。456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuuzelqQA3v
456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtYcpyWVNzq
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。456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWtyK1kiOll
456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0Yg6vZLJAZ
而紫藤打算再在杜若的身上再添一層相同的痛苦嗎？456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPGqttCRqyk
456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ2nuwxzs7U
紫藤無法回答，只是沉默地別開了視線。456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbJnarrKrSn
456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9ddAus5PR6
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？456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMXGAwAr4fl
456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4s02arN6XY
哪條路都是崎嶇，哪條路也都是痛苦。456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaHhBDKK052
456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEt0ccQugZv
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？456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC7sqKr0qWa
456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfGz6BAXxac
只因為就連接受也是痛苦吧。456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3VavhCVkHX
456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWqrYkVfXCe
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？456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf2WrbQkUJG
456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdByP6NxWW4
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。456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK4urgfSkqn
456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT52Ttdz5A7
思及至此，紫藤才慢慢地放鬆了手中的力道。456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvJPXjt25ig
456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwGyO7Hzhqm
「答應我、要先保護好妳自己。」456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKb8wceU1oB
456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHBWYcmhAH8
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。456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjOrv1Umr0F
456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP9AVSCiPZy
「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。456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuKsbSviOxT
456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyO5UpsikSj
「所以，我的份就用來保護紫藤吧！」456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdsS4BCGd4r
456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHGjpUwB7hQ
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。456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKzgRD7FoiP
456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIaoSpgIyii
「喔喔！紫藤笑了耶！」456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX1TU3oHUZz
456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTcObrRK56S
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。456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHG40ujkVnP
456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0bvM64Lfqw
「哇啊啊——！對不起！」杜若立刻慌張地放下手來。456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9fYpn0Es7U
456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7GLwuVPQGe
疼痛雖然還沒散去，但紫藤還是發自內心地笑了。456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQUtgGZgbI0
456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlkpnBkR8Ca
「……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？」456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2Imoz9HOoZ
456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCWd4yujnMT
「咦？」這提議讓紫藤也感到意外地眨了眨眼。456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEFezLMnter
456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqXxQUdP7Bu
「雖然是我自己猜的……不過狐狸應該很擅長找人吧。」456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe4EDM1qhpS
456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe6dwyDTeLy
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。456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ67zIpOYxCZ
456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyzlU14yPYa
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。456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX8szhtBgUU
456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3f1RO9AWfP
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。456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkl7EWui1Zt
456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf2JHiwGgG0
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？456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOT2fVCAhMW
456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlyB83rubXT
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？456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbMFeBV6vSB
456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXJufqUZoJq
「那……可以幫我跟狐狸說說看嗎？」456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVcr6BWOVmQ
456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWRiD5KNt3d
「當然呀，這是我提議的嘛～」杜若自信地抱起手臂、挺起胸膛。456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT5TwikyMKq
456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡinfKd04CtA
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。456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBkwNUS8IYv
456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL66AVoT9XA
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。456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4QX21jsgXv
456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡagtr6Bvc7F
「妳的傷……換我幫妳吧。」456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbpclpkI8ty
456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBLKoNuiiVe
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。456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLSZWqcUA5t
456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHylAbwtytO
「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。456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfSOHSFOJ52
456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡym4MrlM19s
「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。456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLt6wtPbSYC
456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlrVYEmNJ0r
「撕得開來嗎？」杜若看著紫藤有些僵硬的動作，有所顧慮地問。456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE8bS18FX1d
456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCTNVlj7Ytj
「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。456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtRUA7KynqR
456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUUnWJSRE6Y
「……好了。換膝蓋吧。」456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqVwqS0TIVe
456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLTj0vF3fO6
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。456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0imDnaftdP
456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6Kq0gg3Pz9
「我臉上有什麼嗎？」紫藤不解地偏過頭。456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEaVxFOlVXG
456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf9a7pwKYTV
「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：456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo0pFoOMLuD
456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJlXamT5HHl
「只是覺得紫藤認真的模樣……果然好帥喔。」456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzHduanGECD
456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs4jh67KNMR
突如其來的稱讚，令紫藤頓時耳根一熱。456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK9YZGFUTmh
456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNCFNFbnH6Q
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？456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDB5alGhRZk
456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnVJUW7QUjS
「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：456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWmExfTN4J8
456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJoYynBY95L
「謝謝……」456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡryzbY3uocd
456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBwkA6xOH5v
「嗯？」456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxqjAuFlfNP
456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLSMXhxGzwD
「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……！」456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJF1veuuSJl
456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6LxE2FBGsI
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。456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyegPpfZNuW
456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwMCdyEcVZS
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。456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCfRpRJXSwE
456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFgk5Sy8E0D
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。456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT0KJBXFwmf
456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKripDkFgYz
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。456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxjfjZZhzCM
456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx2PiRsmJVz
「稍微……稍微彎起來一點。」456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyR0bqw5zAj
456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZnQmdkRTvF
「這樣？」456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDoS08zdf72
456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7moouSJ5ni
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。456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡut0pFNsSFJ
456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvchdlxQmb3
「……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。456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNme5XxnkPO
456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBqDDpX0sqL
於是紫藤收起醫療用品，起身將箱子放回原位。456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFl96IKgMib
456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDiNPxSnltf
「對了，剛才紫藤提到的事件……」456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGfkyQxq4gM
456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7NwznumRAS
就在要踏出房門的時候，杜若忽然想到了什麼似地開了口。456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT3ejEYkgv7
456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfyHC5cFpuj
「事件、是倒塌事件嗎？」456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCVpNn6Bju7
456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt2ApCqgsDA
「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。456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrw3tDzmw3T
456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡONnWbs6Ejh
「怎麼了嗎？」看見杜若的模樣，令紫藤擔心地走了回去。456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgmPByskcAn
456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW34PJ0nAGd
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。456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeaOIbbSMGp
456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsFVYTXj284
「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！」456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh4db4v6Wid
456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK25Bg0bimL
紫藤雖然感到疑惑，卻還是沒有多問地走出了房間。456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNKnfDUPnMP
456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEeo6u55NBu
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。456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjgSK9wEPoU
456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKuD824WK2m
「我們……好像弄錯順序了耶。」456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyZpbthCX3W
456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1fh9Os7Bhz
「……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。456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6o97XJUn3j
456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsM6qbtRbOi
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。456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0tmyoesMkV
456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2VbAZ7e79Q
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。456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjjh7KKU45G
456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6Mz2oCTHBu
「紫藤需要我幫忙嗎？」456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOYDIh3sFId
456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp2SvcNAuBw
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。456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0m5qdnhrqw
456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1P011hapZE
「我、我自己來就可以了……」456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbE22RLrX4f
456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeUtVKob23c
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。456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPYFc1g4E3V
456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuhIvhSkUkW
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。456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHPEu92Ehn5
456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGEehTd1ID3
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。456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4qcmiO7BzM
456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfrMPH98WP7
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。456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRZBXgzuoGa

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。456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx8cmBbAW98
456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTslzDh934o
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？456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7Ya4M2u37K

「……紫藤。」456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8CNnAWPBOv
456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoh14LOvndx
「怎麼了？」456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZGK7iKn2us
456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxUbqlej8cA
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。456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡORrAcPa0xF
456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7h12Sms8D5
「紫藤說、會一直在我身邊……我可以相信紫藤吧？」456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0IwBfkt5Xc
456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjW64au7RD2
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。456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSxRLD6s55t
456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrnf7Wi43H2
紫藤伸出手輕蓋在了杜若的後腦，卻沒有辦法就這麼點頭。456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiu0VTMa7SY
456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxdyBjZtRyF
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？456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW92KB961yV
456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkJNCrbHirH
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。456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMI5IlhuYXa
456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLJbj1kg2JS
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。456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡePgh1WjB7A
456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn5r206FuEJ
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？456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlE48cEODPD
456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4bknpb3M1w
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。456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiLgNsMa0tR
456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkz5AeInfM6
不過紫藤現在就在這裡。456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPLQYgd8O17
456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK1ZHdWqNEW
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。456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0ICUgTd75K
456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRAqQi2o4aL
於是、紫藤探出指頭，用指腹輕貼上了杜若的臉頰。456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmwRgac65Uv
456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8c5lQt59da
「……我會試著做到的。」456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4JQZ0J2TCF
456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlIPO0Pm0GP
「什麼嘛……」聽見這不乾脆的回答，杜若便沒輒地笑了。456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRqb1I3obKG
456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0N1DhKL2OT
「不過……我相信紫藤喔。」456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIPRrLqzRJ8
456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUu5cknxZX1
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。456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSdagQXZ0sd
456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2tCN1SH9TJ
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。456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlWVE6BbHdd
456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdbfG0ekTUA
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。456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGUzGy93deQ
456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL5Nz2Y8SXU
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。456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZz6B0Dnnd8
456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq9ZnZaJ0Sh
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。456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZGBUK1246w
