迴響的隆隆聲如同夢境般遠去。346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡew6LjRIEhm
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0KRijvZxfM
從開出的小縫裡，一道狹窄的光切開了無邊無際的黑暗。346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhbMd4TZvjo
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBu0GQV8oTr
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。346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAnx3ptDQA8
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvm2d3AiznI
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。346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxmjjvsoAPX
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8kavp5PuDw
連沙華會都靜謐下來，就代表連凌晨也快要結束了吧。346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ98ACOxzSD9
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu8zNxUmK8A
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。346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK1YH0t0wH4
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtILLOn4A1V
「走吧。我們一起回去。」346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpIswf34oGO
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKzGCIad2OA
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。346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtdaY3YrcpW
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDehJTZOQsN
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。346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoM6nHLzLTc
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡROf2UU6Tko
為了處理傷口，杜若讓紫藤靠到了床板上頭。346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqapEM27JKJ
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCIss3xLzoj
「嗚……！」346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4KHXPqQDlh
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ93kg0R26oH
消毒藥水碰到傷口的劇痛，讓紫藤吃痛地叫出悶聲。346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsSiAX1m9nt
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3ctY1PQfGb
「很痛嗎……？」杜若停下動作，擔憂地看向紫藤。346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8Jm8JsSA9g
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpYTtfbfTgQ
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。346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYB41SX4pyy
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLDo1o77NIv
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。346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5UD85txpvX
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpnX1xSQ94J
「……我還可以忍。」說完，紫藤打直手臂。346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ78XTOr6dum
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ25Wc6X9dwj
杜若點點頭，卻宛如做錯了事一般地垂下眼簾。346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZL23NGwkK9
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS4kBslrhu0
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。346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgmRDAdHyk0
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEOhCcdiSSU
「那、再忍耐一下就好。」346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzGiCdAnWUp
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzyY82hHAAk
「呼、呼……嗚——！」346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbpiimGz5j6
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3sxGxZIb8r
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。346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2XaTXsvc3e
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpRxHLvkzHX
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。346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY5YacFUNoW
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFnCjAzyIq6
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。346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzQ7YPG3HlW
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6ePaHXiznu
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。346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR1Mg1Vyngo
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbYNsKoaLwn
「還要喝嗎？」杜若捧著還有一半的水杯，輕柔地問。346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu530aLuky8
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpSoc40x1u1
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。346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡht5mj9JlUO
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdZjyGTP9vi
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。346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL0CM0JYpyR
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKRfnRTyDPS
「……謝謝。」346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfMvDKOztdS
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYXcPymuNhr
「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。346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPiWjZpePfi
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe6wWUnNjfn
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。346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBqlt59bx99
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8TmQlNXEJ0
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。346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgZnCfKm6lG
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡii7T13UTjc
不過，這無疑都是事實。346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD0aX7D2NUu
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkdTPkluYuz
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。346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN6C8h1FXiR
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGS1psqbzth
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。346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO0CLi1Yj1c
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4eTVQkOB4x
「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。346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb9SlcAedsu
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSW0nS8kCur
沉默了半晌，紫藤才慢慢地開口。346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhX2KFPKBja
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhinhLYLtni
「是我媽媽的遺物。」346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9EePZBggWq
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTL88uU4FO2
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。346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡks7KdqRAlw
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfu9mPrOIpZ
「咦……？那為什麼會在墨駒的手裡呀？」杜若不假思索地問道。346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrpBfuOClgV
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5FiooJXjj0
「我也不知道。」紫藤搖搖頭，黯然地闔上雙眼。346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgDo2W4yFOX
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmdw5I9ErXX
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。346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcFME0YUEQJ
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4Pc6yEGDxT
「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：346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLFucP2gwxj
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUmp5jlJcrm
「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。」346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXIg9L7A4xx
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQNlSOkNp6a
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。346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYjKWcbFomF
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmMCp41AFi3
「這就是那時候、他們從媽媽的身上搶走的東西之一。」346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm3L71gVirE
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMTAYs1ZBXz
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。346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzZ1YmvdlWZ
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsyWgeJWP2Z
從那時起，濺在臉上的那朵紅花就已經在紫藤的心頭生根。346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRkikOtn7hN
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL59jZi7MKb
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。346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8DuUz4b1PI
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfbMnzYqtaE
「原來……這是對紫藤來說這麼重要的東西啊。」346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd4AnXY6hgm
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1DTT920WMb
「嗯。」紫藤在胸前連同戒指握緊了拳頭。346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4LbiyIEoIY
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmTS7x6gKco
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。346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9BAgKijRJz
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6NsKfTTh04
自己已經不想要再失去任何東西了。346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk5WUbSyXvu
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7DyOYz0oeA
「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。346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzn19dzBSJh
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFi8lUzyrKb
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。346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0oDVCePSpv
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp4Va7FqFBS
「媽媽他——」346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsAAjBYzqaY
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLDUQxMfwhp
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。346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaaQ9oVsFCK
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2akKxZwMP0
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」。346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM8okuyrDOE
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJwazTwLS7d
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。346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUf9MfiWeAf
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHuCifaVqtk
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。346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgm5ruLulgz
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNlN3EyzHnO
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。346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF1sm4H2jHT
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2j3sK0rP6O
但紫藤一點都不喜歡學校。346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrh1zWwDCE2
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbzujOFwxw5
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。346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHGmwFKHSUN
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoprc8wSc2F
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。346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNfkHWGlW3j
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhWeLK4SKgc
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。346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4Nm9MQCE8A
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5y7O1ht7y0
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。346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMv6zuAKtAB
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyJ55QDmA5X
嗯，這樣就夠了。那時的紫藤只有這麼單純的滿足。346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcJpY6aXLkM
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlGTCrPsm8N
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。346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmqohFzYS1z
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgPJPV67AS9
那是一起倒塌事件。346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOlGkNojapf
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP9yXX7I03G
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。346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ74C8ZTdcAJ
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡup0IL1DDiG
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。346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡONAwfkfozm
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnhdxx1p49R
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。346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0z4Y8ODpkS
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvHeGFodds3
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。346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsOMklpDKWK
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtDa2rmfTrB
「……我會找到給墨駒這個戒指的人。」346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH3brBbRNDh
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPFexlEcRZ4
收起回憶，紫藤再次握緊了戒指。346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvCako6ePSO
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlUIkqE4fjl
「然後，殺了他。」346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvtPP6UHx72
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmnIVpZLfwO
紫藤的眼神猶如熾火，沒有一分一毫的搖曳。346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ72QP25qXS5
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡywy1d6CK8j
但只不過幾秒，便很快地萎靡了下來。346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhCXdrCm3qX
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbR3CnoS5Ou
「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。」346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0sJeJSHHw3
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡenfs7LYMTX
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。346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL8Cx5eyklt
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJbG3FedpYR
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。346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiK41W9fk2C
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYvGsHgjwPR
「原來、這就是紫藤想要跟我一起行動的原因呀。」346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡarXFWhVeyi
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpplBT87rzN
「……嗯。」346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSyjxFOcDXD
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ53ToeOeewv
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。346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUMwFtU2NW5
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPZbdfb51rS
紫藤深信，這就是自己向那些骯髒禽獸復仇的楔子。346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJcPQErHhWt
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAhkxQxIyWY
這就是足以斬斷自己心頭那朵紅花的白刃。346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTUWG4HW90t
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUxC7utXuIh
「……杜若妳呢？」346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfntqFCsIEB
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDmAqXDn3z0
紫藤拾起快要滿溢的情感，回望了杜若那如新月般的雙眸。346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk1sKIStdP4
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs8HPZQiPDJ
「又是為什麼……會開始當殺手？」346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3FDZmwXheN
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgChLIEDEsn
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。346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU2PIvFxYWQ
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPKJydvaiXX
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。346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuKOWzPCwBw
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9I7Bb1T8gs
「紫藤……不會生氣吧？」346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUVbIm3zzVG
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvRFBSmLNOn
杜若果然還在意著那時自己的衝動。346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvFRATFyDAh
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdzxhTqjUhh
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。346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1pIQD4k4jZ
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdnOGj4yUdc
「不會。」紫藤堅定地說：「我保證。」346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb34lvxAQQh
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE2onKSqnI4
等到紫藤緩緩收起手後，杜若才按著胸口，下定決心地開口。346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrti1XvjEbN
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCdCiB3zSK5
「……我想要救陶壺叔。」346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfdZNS1RnEV
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPvxlH5oNLP
杜若喃喃吐出的回答令紫藤感到十分意外。346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzWtZyPfm0t
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG6i48qb30U
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？346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB3czs3tbXP
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB3No75q2gd
就好像發現了紫藤的疑惑，杜若幽幽地繼續說道：346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb2j1oOSxxP
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEaBSKZvCzx
「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。」346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeKQtMU6tIn
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzXIrUYHWTn
全身慢慢就會不能動的病？346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt4X6uEWOR7
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXzpWbUepgn
這種病紫藤是頭一次聽見。346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5XZ8ANv9vp
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvdY4sf26KV
「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。」346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPss3jqQhku
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkZISPNPly4
「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。346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtLuB7HuCmx
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOR6nuU4fk9
「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。」346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡytPl5G02bg
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbyhZYXRZej
杜若的笑只看得見無力。346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTVfSHtCww4
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeVzrMz36de
「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。」346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq5ZPc2HQd2
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs51Wabsi37
到這裡，杜若便沒有繼續說下去了。346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbpNBeniXQZ
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVcrgdravRc
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。346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnyqS0i99p4
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHHgqkJE9TF
然而，紫藤卻忍不住想要質疑的念頭。346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGov6bn3yj2
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT8ECI935mk
「那個狐狸、真的就這麼值得相信嗎？」346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡglQU6DZCj9
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4zEDzfNd1R
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。346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMvx3eMLDf1
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN8zkJ3vaHd
「……狐狸一直都對我很好呀。」346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUyMJKYiouV
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXQkN28etQ4
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。346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNEdWfcODwx
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaofMV59HkZ
「所以，我還是相信狐狸。」346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡosbdpgtmXT
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPPNY79RJoX
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。346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1ZUpNpX7Im
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpOL9dibldP
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。346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡavFnd5UNy5
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNUk4DOl2Rg
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。346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDYPIMLWy0b
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZlFNjp8uDz
哪怕、就算那道光芒是朝自己射出的子彈也一樣。346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeyrkY7ZuSk
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfTWO8PXRbc
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？346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgHhWsTmTwW

這怎麼可能。346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZCzjaARBCd
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9YaFqGaTyf
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。346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyBGOyihUyP
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDKu7g9euTl
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。346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyHO59ySIez
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiAbuci9hbe
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。346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡudJJsUHDRM
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu88r4I2Gxp
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。346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYsVk8jELpC
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj1Hjvs7THc
察覺到掌心的柔軟，杜若看著紫藤靦腆地一笑。346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP2wLUGRSE4
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxogTk6PMNn
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346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbPR3AfMmz1
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPK0Zvq7LNX
「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。346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbQSwJAKXSg
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBUQiEKx6b6
「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！」346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡysDFcJIDXT
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBshwxOGLsG
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。346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOUFWID3hpF
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5yGDGs6ABK
「不過，果然還是不能夠靠沙華會的人呢。」346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMHif8pK3CC
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzgqCa9NBVH
經過剛才被反擊的經驗，讓兩人都對這點有了更多的共識。346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5frn7nG0Qi
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqhKJw1KQGk
說了句「話說回來」後，杜若就一轉話鋒、向紫藤問道：346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZikvpz4jMb
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZpRf4qv3iC
「紫藤想要殺掉的人又是誰呀？紫藤還記得嗎？」346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNegv1A0JdD
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD84Qfrd5JW
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。346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzcLaqh7FuE
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaO0Uw2nhN5
「是一個……在脖子後面紋著白色線條的沙華會紋身的人。」346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTKsfBTAv8N
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbicidkmdYg
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。346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrKSxaAKhsl
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4T0GdcXOlN
「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。」346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUnL4Wt7pK4
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnNF7thJUEn
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。346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk7aTxDSxyN
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnqNsDrfza3
「這樣的話，我也來幫忙吧！」杜若自告奮勇地舉高手：346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8usGwJ27jj
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ89GoZ66JnC
「兩個人一起找絕對比較快的！」346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1JUzWvBJ4y
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn7rwkBRzzj
杜若的模樣、讓紫藤晚了一步才發現自己說錯了話。346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmpXKrvWNF5
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUSWoCicMxc
紫藤默默地低下頭、沉聲回答。346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVwzKItVOlW
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwvBvEGX83Z
「……不用那樣。我……我自己就夠了。」346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAOaZCXaSH7
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgNwCe86i9M
這冷淡的回答讓杜若頓時像被潑了水的貓咪似地一愣。346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSYUhuXd8v5
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo6lmMdDumt
「可是、紫藤不是說到現在都……」346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfGk34Fm8FU
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsJ9JN8lVU1
「這本來就是我自己的事。」346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe58TYGfMTK
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4EC2Q7e8Jc
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。346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5YBJ4Fp5dh
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm1AG4mT9A0
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。346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJQiO2ev8tR
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡolY1q9Rabc
「那要是紫藤遇到危險怎麼辦！」倏地，杜若站起身、提高音量346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQLMXYX9mDa
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqscLWPsdLy
「我就是為了保護自己，才會去學習要怎麼搏鬥。」346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxNpPxyUdgv
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2Ba0YgLkmn
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。346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyD0lzf3BIc
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsFQxqa38Dd
「可是、假如對方有槍、假如遇到像今天一樣的事……」346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv0hKdErqJL
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWudfo8X3bN
「我是不會讓自己被殺死的。」346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCr58aMZtB9
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDRBNAJONaq
「紫藤明明就傷成這樣、還說這種話……！」346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjzd3p1TZCc
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmQ00Vgbbpf
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。346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtMOPYPMjWB
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmklbIB5SWn
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。346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxFUovBA7BW
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3uOswOjDdh
杜若雖然想甩開，但卻在一半就失去了力氣。346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsIEDjCGbKg
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAOok35JQnl
「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……」346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRlFRyCeD4V
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6GfbqIKAiA
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。346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFvsIcr1Pl5
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGufg3HhGTd
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？346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ0tkfuh02q
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu5ozsNADsO
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。346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡROJVtfb0kk
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡApq02WSjTL
最後，紫藤還是用了奸詐的說法。346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcasyK2KOYs
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHqLEDl6m0c
「我跟陶壺叔約定過，說不會讓妳受傷了。」346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9dQXoVGr4Z
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDr0z846OuL
「那難道紫藤要我看著妳受傷嗎？」346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKJxqodzOT2
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFb8BseGqhQ
雖然夾雜著鼻音、但這句話卻如此強而有力。346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJJQRYSJ2Ko
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvL9ZZozY9H
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。346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqDp9XjukLO
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhsoreGgK7u
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。346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfNPb4VkaNW
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2pnLbIKgP1
而紫藤打算再在杜若的身上再添一層相同的痛苦嗎？346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8jPTJm8wO8
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3ZcMgVhaxv
紫藤無法回答，只是沉默地別開了視線。346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPbOfVegW3X
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcDDOz8nd82
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？346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa7x4wDiL38
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdEG40HrEX5
哪條路都是崎嶇，哪條路也都是痛苦。346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC3vCtXPBj7
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3ARjRJT6nq
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？346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDdpt4RJ9r1
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKyaJvMkEDO
只因為就連接受也是痛苦吧。346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV5F975CY3E
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1a3IQozZuB
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？346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQtiAyDcPaV
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDYAFlWhwkR
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。346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS9iy6Cd6Tg
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpUQ6R8hKz0
思及至此，紫藤才慢慢地放鬆了手中的力道。346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo8Cg9zVTHq
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡimzYVvRjDH
「答應我、要先保護好妳自己。」346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKtZJF6jqyu
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqssElpZjp9
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。346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi0BC9RjyNU
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg2jAO9pNBy
「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。346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhUVr9AQhoo
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcQOSX0NqGy
「所以，我的份就用來保護紫藤吧！」346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNrsqjrNeIH
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa6dYiwKC4z
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。346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOA5CWgQFvu
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdtQAzbfC6l
「喔喔！紫藤笑了耶！」346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCHBzNgxco8
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZM2qIlszqy
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。346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡstFe57eTNX
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRv8XCdZwur
「哇啊啊——！對不起！」杜若立刻慌張地放下手來。346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡffvQ6uVB6J
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDHJDm86zkV
疼痛雖然還沒散去，但紫藤還是發自內心地笑了。346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYSBLX7Drbf
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRKeHlcnXxx
「……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？」346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYb6X1Tq1To
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfSPNNGY3Zg
「咦？」這提議讓紫藤也感到意外地眨了眨眼。346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD7KQiM3HFF
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVb8hbLOSJi
「雖然是我自己猜的……不過狐狸應該很擅長找人吧。」346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrm3xkE43DA
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSkCFyGqViw
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。346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXi9mTSm3QW
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡURqIJsJUsH
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。346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCJMgvJDzLD
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOZcDPlOu2G
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。346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡORM2sJOsRi
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGfH3wuBx9f
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？346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUW5s4eb7Xg
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡib18pKTvTp
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？346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1C8dgm85LB
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoa4SGdqG8P
「那……可以幫我跟狐狸說說看嗎？」346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP4C7qJpy63
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOKQwgeuHh9
「當然呀，這是我提議的嘛～」杜若自信地抱起手臂、挺起胸膛。346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS9YNrb8n76
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCzbd94ehfX
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。346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE7ohuM0Lad
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHrIoup93yM
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。346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3XgPZC6TbK
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKgHS7f2HRR
「妳的傷……換我幫妳吧。」346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqfGv2jetYm
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB8WDhvyeZX
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。346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOuA7S2hfAT
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg8uNPoxvz1
「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。346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBlpPOn0WPJ
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYs3rmiY9Hs
「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。346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡocyB6n5O3G
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9E1QCPqBI3
「撕得開來嗎？」杜若看著紫藤有些僵硬的動作，有所顧慮地問。346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTPQ1nDPsse
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCSNocZ7qco
「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。346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAbjrvb1lfb
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUnG6q7FXQ6
「……好了。換膝蓋吧。」346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLSXx8QkI6o
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhq3ytZTkuV
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。346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsKs5t9jpAY
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVEH63no5jJ
「我臉上有什麼嗎？」紫藤不解地偏過頭。346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtGe1IBJNNG
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuLNKqjSDBk
「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：346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfnNiD6Hz60
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXmCxulcjwX
「只是覺得紫藤認真的模樣……果然好帥喔。」346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj9OIndq7y3
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWHgYopWb1O
突如其來的稱讚，令紫藤頓時耳根一熱。346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1ZByZNMi24
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUkEQ89dwwG
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？346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2lC2Zu6Mvu
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAR20zowL9E
「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：346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxzTmJQklEH
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoLenQuUIap
「謝謝……」346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSi73QhdaLV
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxVSY6Pe3Cq
「嗯？」346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXbH9x6j8Sn
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzcLvbBdsX7
「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……！」346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbXtfNIM0bW
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr1pNLeqY5A
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。346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0mDiDics4l
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI1Ji4Sj0Bc
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。346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCzi6d18mrv
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQmiq9sLcx7
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。346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHLVbMbV4yy
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0Gkl8WZNxR
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。346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXgVJfp2Jon
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsggECbHYXB
「稍微……稍微彎起來一點。」346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiy4sYIyRqc
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2XoPK9cECB
「這樣？」346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCP4AcFbLbe
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ62UfgKCts5
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。346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA5fZpq7z0X
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8tDywGgEiX
「……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。346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ93o9Wu9CeK
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0SzjXa8Fbn
於是紫藤收起醫療用品，起身將箱子放回原位。346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxQb64HMrzE
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiEv5kz33j2
「對了，剛才紫藤提到的事件……」346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTrQa9q2r5I
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjVKf8G0fCk
就在要踏出房門的時候，杜若忽然想到了什麼似地開了口。346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhvbUii0Ljb
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRTblKAZZ2C
「事件、是倒塌事件嗎？」346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjLOfEfCpLx
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWR47N6H1pe
「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。346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF3AtdApaX3
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFucYzZwEqH
「怎麼了嗎？」看見杜若的模樣，令紫藤擔心地走了回去。346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5YPZf7K4w8
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHQ68HPFWs9
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。346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKBlNazKKK2
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdvD24Wby09
「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！」346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIeWywCY2C4
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMQZCBk7G8Y
紫藤雖然感到疑惑，卻還是沒有多問地走出了房間。346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWUkl2okXxu
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH9tnIULl6k
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。346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHKsQ5YcKyu
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4Egq9O6X60
「我們……好像弄錯順序了耶。」346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4brKxGSB0d
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCNardUNgqI
「……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。346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlRaA0K933b
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9YUH7YKZPg
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。346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFQdNR6W7DT
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4U4Iy6YiIc
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。346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwyy3lHMYmG
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfgv04UAzQx
「紫藤需要我幫忙嗎？」346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrX7w7464ki
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk7XE6UrVbM
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。346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUcntUd10Ml
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw4p3WYojJk
「我、我自己來就可以了……」346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSzYiFF2U2d
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB40eeI0jnl
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。346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9jlYFTx0TD
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRZa8I13Uxi
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。346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlkOkLPfjPv
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEICcR3xQ3Q
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。346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBtIqcWA3gm
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3vpuLuB2Lg
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。346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4ZGzWn1Occ

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。346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvixFfji61n
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtZ4M5fHXjE
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？346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgiRwFDEr47
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwKpZbWUCeR
「……紫藤。」346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhizAEH5upS
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUnN9ThacUp
「怎麼了？」346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJDLdy589bU
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZTd84seXTV
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。346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHUeYJnptr5
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFzwVTaPLIz
「紫藤說、會一直在我身邊……我可以相信紫藤吧？」346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqiCYDE5IPQ
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFTijMdlDxf
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。346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdkTU0u53Qq
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0xMFZIu8Lo
紫藤伸出手輕蓋在了杜若的後腦，卻沒有辦法就這麼點頭。346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3xI1Vnbqyc
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4dQoH0HiWG
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？346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9O9vwBOKC2
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxP3xUKGnZN
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。346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWrQIcXTYHQ
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW2rLe4uxpW
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。346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhUCw3qiXCj
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUiJPT4GFgc
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？346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCLU6DBOx2z
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4Am0pD77zB
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。346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFUYq8l4mqe
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRPoamA2H8r
不過紫藤現在就在這裡。346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLVPNikrdtG
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7CoVBf1xMC
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。346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbePMgpNlyA
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzZ4AnMRxzy
於是、紫藤探出指頭，用指腹輕貼上了杜若的臉頰。346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7J8ZvD72tC
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB9a61mowpo
「……我會試著做到的。」346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbui5iKHSCy
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ62khlkAGkD
「什麼嘛……」聽見這不乾脆的回答，杜若便沒輒地笑了。346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxur4fQe2HF
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9Kih6QUQ0B
「不過……我相信紫藤喔。」346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ79cNnCZ5Wb
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfyNAftHq9d
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。346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwjpGk6Chhc
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa7UEQFWQ5a
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。346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5ZQ00VL40m
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4WvO1noika
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。346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE7H6QDuXsf
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ7PyRnYzOa
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。346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRFRTxblN7c
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcsKFtWlEAx
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。346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBnPOjVmgCY
