迴響的隆隆聲如同夢境般遠去。428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4QBKiUuZuO
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtcdisj8uSa
從開出的小縫裡，一道狹窄的光切開了無邊無際的黑暗。428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf3DJdZBAqZ
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEIZ9hkDujd
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。428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmY6sojBN5A
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtsIOpNlcpG
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。428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV5fjYlX9Wy
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo1PQFxHY9l
連沙華會都靜謐下來，就代表連凌晨也快要結束了吧。428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHXbxfHjvAZ
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ57JsREuSG4
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。428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8jNdRtz1Ez
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQFw1suiDgG
「走吧。我們一起回去。」428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLju3tds7vg
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdJOh38RT6j
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。428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaWgot5UJpE
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7DhQEX4wVW
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。428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ60Y0iZbiJ
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ60yVNuLVwv
為了處理傷口，杜若讓紫藤靠到了床板上頭。428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo6eNn7Y96s
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6HmXbMqz7q
「嗚……！」428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPv5VvFZ6QB
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiCeSkFZJtU
消毒藥水碰到傷口的劇痛，讓紫藤吃痛地叫出悶聲。428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtk23GR3T6y
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2m9sdtpqyQ
「很痛嗎……？」杜若停下動作，擔憂地看向紫藤。428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHKZzAbiZoN
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5VE5CzkMXx
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。428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwPF1nLbatr
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1tm5Xm1B7h
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。428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCXQUrALIFq
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkunncteLrV
「……我還可以忍。」說完，紫藤打直手臂。428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwrL4JOKs62
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSX0Clijofk
杜若點點頭，卻宛如做錯了事一般地垂下眼簾。428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZfLPn99msW
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEQpC4dboKU
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。428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9ZTQV09JN8
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy2nVxUCipU
「那、再忍耐一下就好。」428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXpnC5XXXk4
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMMHZfZP6Db
「呼、呼……嗚——！」428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzWYG7LNEnB
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ57BiPUqLus
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。428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDo7ipkpRBR
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBoXfcLvpz0
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。428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnFF2Xz9AIx
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHzudV5Mwpk
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。428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAOHaJF8F1L
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuZISPYZRoL
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。428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9ntIKy8FzH
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQDPpguARHo
「還要喝嗎？」杜若捧著還有一半的水杯，輕柔地問。428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsBq3GVrAwD
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9LQqSMIj5K
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。428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDKAGY6gCau
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOytjMqIOLJ
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。428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrcSRK1xh5t
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaIBDlizGTf
「……謝謝。」428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVdcNFEIKZN
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡidacHXYAwb
「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。428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjYD5GtNygs
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM9kJLBRWau
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。428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH5GOTh7EiG
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHzk10rq0Kf
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。428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFydWBDS67k
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb9w5hXu6wK
不過，這無疑都是事實。428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3XEYA4e2Oa
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ66yS8pDLj0
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。428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyI4aBt5EL9
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMzZlZbeYzV
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。428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEoFKssj730
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNAvWqh5xOd
「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。428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT98HlXrlu1
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXMs1r2GSUX
沉默了半晌，紫藤才慢慢地開口。428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLcASL5mj1Z
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKZdPv3H0Vn
「是我媽媽的遺物。」428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡau2LghWB6c
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6L36FOh4Mv
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。428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUYXON7jkhc
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaWzBRBCHBB
「咦……？那為什麼會在墨駒的手裡呀？」杜若不假思索地問道。428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWRoYBe3YXp
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNVOvYTKTrF
「我也不知道。」紫藤搖搖頭，黯然地闔上雙眼。428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEOBfK6YdYK
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD0X6oqv1CT
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。428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡthSDBPso2U
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVxddYO5ZZB
「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：428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7jAkISLQKk
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzDspWU4erq
「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。」428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsxcytBQCko
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsbaYaGtCN5
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。428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcqKDyV90Gw
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaxjaDx2sfK
「這就是那時候、他們從媽媽的身上搶走的東西之一。」428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvRUvbQjBPp
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb5ySMpuWd6
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。428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLEf2mVWhe5
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC4a7KYXenN
從那時起，濺在臉上的那朵紅花就已經在紫藤的心頭生根。428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRrJrqK9paC
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKoBHZNrnIE
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。428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡABZCOgknvg
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDR5QAqYGPw
「原來……這是對紫藤來說這麼重要的東西啊。」428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkV4CTD931W
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJONooRrZcE
「嗯。」紫藤在胸前連同戒指握緊了拳頭。428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwY9hdalSMk
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ57r6YetIsu
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。428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbs8dbNTgiJ
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLqbnrGQar2
自己已經不想要再失去任何東西了。428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrkQHRRJBmS
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq3VgpJFdJH
「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。428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg5CzaPjd7L
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGRvA0Zd2Wi
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。428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoCiqxlZwls
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIsFtwNxyP3
「媽媽他——」428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhWVJm0lF1T
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlYnUNXDXPG
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。428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9WWjpvUWAG
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNEwuebJslZ
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」。428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMtvltctLgU
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqOuUwSFnAb
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。428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXjWoAmXqJc
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV0KgZ46DBe
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。428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOr3Ypiq3St
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWyouExRhbK
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。428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9w0FRddewN
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVVPUjgQF21
但紫藤一點都不喜歡學校。428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmRRTAU3UJp
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVmGc0FIALz
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。428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTEHlAUJv4q
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD1lhYj2Y4y
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。428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1i9vNmuacu
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6BRLk7zqYb
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。428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2TXuiYiPdb
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3gY4TNwdXE
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。428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTN8ocdsrLB
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy3NYyj7MSt
嗯，這樣就夠了。那時的紫藤只有這麼單純的滿足。428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg7TYZWjv88
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmn45Wj8Lbi
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。428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgwM7oZ6aNy
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtssgZkZPOv
那是一起倒塌事件。428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaCrBP1Nl20
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAf7GfS81Rt
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。428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS3AI7ZGJCY
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnjMNkuFmu8
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。428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOXhD6n8zMJ
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3N913vaaSL
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。428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtWfHFb03NX
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzZg555jIYC
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。428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡddp1rjkRQh
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡps9OnzQgdl
「……我會找到給墨駒這個戒指的人。」428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRkARbhcmq5
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQdCgRzAwoD
收起回憶，紫藤再次握緊了戒指。428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmzUgx22G38
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUKjnUs1EKY
「然後，殺了他。」428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0UYnakqenz
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTURgOzYRQT
紫藤的眼神猶如熾火，沒有一分一毫的搖曳。428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0R6kf5mQRP
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPiuuVw9Pwt
但只不過幾秒，便很快地萎靡了下來。428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKXmZZMdh0V
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYanyzOvnqB
「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。」428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7eaMVo746V
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkQIoSz73fe
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。428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAYrEUn2INR
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNkxg44ZUCv
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。428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr1fBVTZA6Y
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXdEsUxaPge
「原來、這就是紫藤想要跟我一起行動的原因呀。」428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡywbVlL62Vh
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbAFsgWxzTu
「……嗯。」428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu85V0Sw9Ms
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7aL9QkSVwA
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。428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmGtnTlWpRf
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPmhqWa285l
紫藤深信，這就是自己向那些骯髒禽獸復仇的楔子。428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJQ6Eq9Rmwk
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡACE9sjNV8I
這就是足以斬斷自己心頭那朵紅花的白刃。428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYwWYos2xRB
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmauHF9WaG7
「……杜若妳呢？」428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj7wV2jh0iQ
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBTFyn5G8hA
紫藤拾起快要滿溢的情感，回望了杜若那如新月般的雙眸。428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ90hkI23EOi
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgJDvWeDp7l
「又是為什麼……會開始當殺手？」428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSHvKnSX2tl
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAuxqLHUvoE
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。428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZvY1mNcL0M
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmaZzNB36r9
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。428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIciq8ROYAk
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFLicPWIKCw
「紫藤……不會生氣吧？」428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡngIMcfRkbe
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2RAMBlhpRK
杜若果然還在意著那時自己的衝動。428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0lVqqFkhSK
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ74T7R3ztWu
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。428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqLggczAZtY
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpYUsmQHzWC
「不會。」紫藤堅定地說：「我保證。」428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnFF2WyRqoX
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwAqjXePku1
等到紫藤緩緩收起手後，杜若才按著胸口，下定決心地開口。428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSjmeeIMy38
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXf8Mhd1lda
「……我想要救陶壺叔。」428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl3d8cLKV0D
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUoeZKehvrC
杜若喃喃吐出的回答令紫藤感到十分意外。428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwGajIIjILl
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVYct96KdxS
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？428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrOBQ6M6J3d
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZS3dQcqVZ5
就好像發現了紫藤的疑惑，杜若幽幽地繼續說道：428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrLIEzYLJst
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡno9y93gnJW
「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。」428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBj7gxhUnot
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡouzwfHKEEl
全身慢慢就會不能動的病？428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYJa5qIz342
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4hWuf3T0xK
這種病紫藤是頭一次聽見。428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQj9yBZo601
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡitbAL5iG6r
「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。」428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRdSXtNtGWy
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmrhyskg7Q8
「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。428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZfth3L7n9P
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhyETUcOP8J
「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。」428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3CvET7gI4e
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdFEN5vlH5D
杜若的笑只看得見無力。428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmj6VTugM3D
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZuFhKPFBny
「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。」428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3gOLfrTFau
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJFe3ho2BQB
到這裡，杜若便沒有繼續說下去了。428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTJW7ASzzZo
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKtjP4hN2LZ
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。428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCZhlQrHmED
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpEZz8aZoXU
然而，紫藤卻忍不住想要質疑的念頭。428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJgD3jNg64E
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNpaEh4eU4r
「那個狐狸、真的就這麼值得相信嗎？」428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY9teOwRcub
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVt3AG8hZdh
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。428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6I79q3TYQl
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJheorZmw8r
「……狐狸一直都對我很好呀。」428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtQc9sM52mZ
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCMmhGnpkcJ
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。428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ96bnnasMCO
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzPDgKq3Lmx
「所以，我還是相信狐狸。」428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5uv2NvXegS
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsYX065bQO1
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。428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZD3QdNYEDU
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwcdKfhQZxd
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。428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7QFHfItw3o
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ17R4eW609b
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。428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSTTLfejkFq
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC97tBudOpl
哪怕、就算那道光芒是朝自己射出的子彈也一樣。428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5NAPcM4xaj
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGGHw7y5h8J
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？428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4rsietPZy5

這怎麼可能。428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIb2PS1V2AL
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3epo95cevU
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。428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAc6994cChJ
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0g65h7j5h8
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。428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCRVTqdmOh5
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmAHL2RItRV
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。428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhRtiR2AyBN
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ57A7KEbbGB
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。428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZKif2hkaOD
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGE3jMWjQUu
察覺到掌心的柔軟，杜若看著紫藤靦腆地一笑。428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIBb8WXGRAJ
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMVhi1RoPHK
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428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA0ioStb0hQ
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNnQ1qj3SVS
「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。428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJlmk0bls8R
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeQUCup0slb
「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！」428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡupdvkaRGTF
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCN7Mcbk3DW
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。428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeBpfJ8BDME
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcsk7YxCzOk
「不過，果然還是不能夠靠沙華會的人呢。」428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa7UETz8Fzw
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfmlDE5eaRH
經過剛才被反擊的經驗，讓兩人都對這點有了更多的共識。428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMOI0Dr7awS
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXSnGWWCQwh
說了句「話說回來」後，杜若就一轉話鋒、向紫藤問道：428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHO6ry0S7EL
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVleoubE36Z
「紫藤想要殺掉的人又是誰呀？紫藤還記得嗎？」428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP0EWJow3QB
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwXJ7wb0TSG
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。428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOrGLyu4oNC
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6qM9gVuamE
「是一個……在脖子後面紋著白色線條的沙華會紋身的人。」428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3OyePvTyQi
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnI0OgHpXlQ
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。428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoCqCQTQ0Vz
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4jUg7LtG9Q
「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。」428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc7d6Cw3h4g
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjtjRiTsUnm
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。428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpT6QhdhIx9
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9YITBJtjjI
「這樣的話，我也來幫忙吧！」杜若自告奮勇地舉高手：428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCYmEEvz4X2
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5XNFfnu4v1
「兩個人一起找絕對比較快的！」428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfrJsQeGnMo
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKKKhnnWwJ9
杜若的模樣、讓紫藤晚了一步才發現自己說錯了話。428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz7GlcAGaeW
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVLxpfmMGhA
紫藤默默地低下頭、沉聲回答。428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7GGcxnXgWx
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAN8JvNAcGd
「……不用那樣。我……我自己就夠了。」428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpUGMqc7rhC
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHtYrVFl3RM
這冷淡的回答讓杜若頓時像被潑了水的貓咪似地一愣。428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡONZQoqRZLB
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7JyGFdAcjZ
「可是、紫藤不是說到現在都……」428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyf0lbinZhe
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKXqSK06mCZ
「這本來就是我自己的事。」428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiasbWNgrPH
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCFIAobczGN
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。428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHTPPU3W7Fd
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjzXSTqKsQV
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。428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdxAxDHsi8i
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXSN9CIyL5U
「那要是紫藤遇到危險怎麼辦！」倏地，杜若站起身、提高音量428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoxzNl9qOE4
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyQqjY0xRix
「我就是為了保護自己，才會去學習要怎麼搏鬥。」428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡprA5oYuAgm
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUgVfijv9FY
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。428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBOrmTj2JXL
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRe5z1Ra8L7
「可是、假如對方有槍、假如遇到像今天一樣的事……」428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAMzX0r5dGI
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxqSBuelnxY
「我是不會讓自己被殺死的。」428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgtIrf84D8c
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9VKWXidYwT
「紫藤明明就傷成這樣、還說這種話……！」428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuORUg6iXrv
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVmL8aAJb4V
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。428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0814kfJ2In
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXqZyW3i4kF
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。428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNRSlcfr26F
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzMM0mdYbj5
杜若雖然想甩開，但卻在一半就失去了力氣。428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNp0GAwvLCK
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGLdM0Vz89Q
「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……」428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnDJGfnNX2q
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt8Q3nzbN89
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。428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6UtfeT3XHs
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNePG8oKoVN
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？428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZRldULfHFu
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfXn4l8uHpX
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。428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAJt07l6yO6
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡglaYlOqhUu
最後，紫藤還是用了奸詐的說法。428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUYlVNPQjpP
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg75RaiivuU
「我跟陶壺叔約定過，說不會讓妳受傷了。」428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpfGrpY2jnZ
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY8CitGmsx7
「那難道紫藤要我看著妳受傷嗎？」428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTSdg8DwLXa
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrQ9LKB1mkW
雖然夾雜著鼻音、但這句話卻如此強而有力。428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvPSbrroQVm
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHhjNJGYf6z
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。428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2y1MOvmkOe
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxT9vngNtxR
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。428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiH1tu4rnWz
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ89LzArJIhF
而紫藤打算再在杜若的身上再添一層相同的痛苦嗎？428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAkRxOs6N9v
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSBEjSgbJmg
紫藤無法回答，只是沉默地別開了視線。428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuay9QARgms
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUTRQF29czj
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？428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLllAJ1rbPl
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLKzDRc6drk
哪條路都是崎嶇，哪條路也都是痛苦。428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6ZCZhwZbhL
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2GYDXSFLvE
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？428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZewQbbqJzj
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1K8o4jAPP0
只因為就連接受也是痛苦吧。428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJboRMXM33F
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNY9efXPP9U
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？428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4wGwDjnSIU
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTfd6q1Cshd
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。428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJWkU99M6p7
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAGXuHfUhKx
思及至此，紫藤才慢慢地放鬆了手中的力道。428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1TLxcHbUYW
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtQsvLImuJ1
「答應我、要先保護好妳自己。」428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0P4lo57HS9
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7qxhjwyKAj
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。428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJLdSzgJJyj
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcoudsRqzF9
「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。428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ54AOeoIoTl
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTW0NcNitRx
「所以，我的份就用來保護紫藤吧！」428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh3ASWTFv3l
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW7eMgELwBt
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。428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjOMwcPXtTi
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdvgWit7GFs
「喔喔！紫藤笑了耶！」428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIgqqWktC3T
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4oSpNRb8PT
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。428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7SGw64lpCz
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHWDTJwrF04
「哇啊啊——！對不起！」杜若立刻慌張地放下手來。428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3Idb6J80rG
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1QHgfiM3uc
疼痛雖然還沒散去，但紫藤還是發自內心地笑了。428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHw3k3DlE7j
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP4G5NUwFsR
「……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？」428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1GVMEp7plj
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWM71HG91Nb
「咦？」這提議讓紫藤也感到意外地眨了眨眼。428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZgu0vj7CGx
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTPPjf4Fb2R
「雖然是我自己猜的……不過狐狸應該很擅長找人吧。」428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfv0KLFPuvr
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXHeekF8dlf
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。428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRVa1tlWMDF
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeWAzEY3VS7
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。428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeSyIvQKKrP
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQhYXmYk7Qs
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。428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhCPWqAMY4F
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCJCZNhZm4B
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？428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrpj5N3KOqj
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLTz2KPoxip
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？428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwzk661Z6q0
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU5ZNTEi4iX
「那……可以幫我跟狐狸說說看嗎？」428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm4VqFmf3we
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlxLvSSOei0
「當然呀，這是我提議的嘛～」杜若自信地抱起手臂、挺起胸膛。428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3O1J4dDlor
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9hinCqABQR
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。428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuvhXrobt0s
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqy9aVJMZqE
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。428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr0eJnruSof
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz4wxptNypc
「妳的傷……換我幫妳吧。」428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD6ngWgzCoi
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAkkemdWYPw
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。428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkp4zLmZVSw
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo2yqE9paAe
「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。428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN4E2v26lnG
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUszYRs10t4
「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。428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtl1f9rVNFT
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkauuC6X16O
「撕得開來嗎？」杜若看著紫藤有些僵硬的動作，有所顧慮地問。428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdHHIT2HdIa
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR4dVSgnYDv
「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。428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7iL5XrKPJ4
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2ZPgJsvQpq
「……好了。換膝蓋吧。」428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG5xAy5UL89
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzygpQD5xJ6
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。428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFQ7WGdQ2dM
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF9maToBQn0
「我臉上有什麼嗎？」紫藤不解地偏過頭。428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSABzvX48j1
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXXqxBpyIbD
「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：428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3UlzwVEY5U
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGhMm9z9h5z
「只是覺得紫藤認真的模樣……果然好帥喔。」428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0iFSxxgHMY
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdt8NCi9V27
突如其來的稱讚，令紫藤頓時耳根一熱。428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLpPkoHY2ce
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNqrUpol86K
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？428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1oo3KIK4pC
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3KmddgDu5A
「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：428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU2JmVGHAU3
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4fLHQIKfwV
「謝謝……」428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8jqFSPtsu9
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbuDZR458Y1
「嗯？」428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0d0ECasecD
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoLTcCY46kg
「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……！」428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq68hujghN8
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzawFiFijnq
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。428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5DX9TyzS67
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmgx6NlDisH
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。428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIpn2ROtSAa
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡigrcZkf8Qc
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。428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZbK7AMKaMb
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6HxCq4tmvE
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。428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvllt9coOHp
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBL4KIEk7Q5
「稍微……稍微彎起來一點。」428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk5WRv6ykjT
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqkPgIa93Yc
「這樣？」428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkVQxB0pHl8
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5NY1RpuwEb
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。428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvmxfvR8Iao
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4nviptcZxH
「……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。428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvUQoHQnIJB
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0qfthVKHCi
於是紫藤收起醫療用品，起身將箱子放回原位。428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv851X1XyZP
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXp8JjOiDBg
「對了，剛才紫藤提到的事件……」428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjFwW6qCEVm
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKaB7Zq9bLR
就在要踏出房門的時候，杜若忽然想到了什麼似地開了口。428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC3yBUNBhAv
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJpB4fsX8qr
「事件、是倒塌事件嗎？」428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnha8FPQcwE
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwfwQolZd6O
「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。428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOxnjzGlIEb
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeQqGSOgR0d
「怎麼了嗎？」看見杜若的模樣，令紫藤擔心地走了回去。428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoaMEQYoVTr
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqzRQJBLxZa
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。428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzNLcSH5OdO
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNXf1zhygDV
「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！」428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK6vVnazopA
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡabI8TzIcyX
紫藤雖然感到疑惑，卻還是沒有多問地走出了房間。428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs2sfXSh51j
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZw92DajYSj
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。428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvuiBWReonV
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxXrhE9KI0H
「我們……好像弄錯順序了耶。」428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMocptDT80h
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnxoJB2f2g6
「……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。428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1EzIsvOd1p
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHHxyF8IJq3
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。428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs1ZE1AUNGe
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡquPPB3ObPp
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。428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyYg9RF46tw
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLKFOKY6bzr
「紫藤需要我幫忙嗎？」428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDXo3OsNnyg
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlliUilJT5t
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。428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIaZTE8av7b
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmeCbp8qm4n
「我、我自己來就可以了……」428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTtSaQ5hM25
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXvwMinzneE
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。428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy1kcIi9m5e
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEBOVUvgvkS
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。428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQIM3Il6AFs
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB2euzVpIFo
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。428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTX7fGos9hN
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGhdZnuuRiZ
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。428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvzm6zw5IQm

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。428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtk63WDomG4
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD4az8E8wka
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？428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ16Nh5msMTC

「……紫藤。」428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSPtqSXHXu0
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX90u7Z6e8E
「怎麼了？」428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq33dAlAmxL
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3wZ03808I3
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。428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdS5YViw0VF
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs7RcH8kSgl
「紫藤說、會一直在我身邊……我可以相信紫藤吧？」428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwxnbzyacv2
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbxuwab2R43
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。428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoGJl1z6Xkn
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0KJib6mh6z
紫藤伸出手輕蓋在了杜若的後腦，卻沒有辦法就這麼點頭。428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3d2MZ3hpQq
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8SLHMwDxkE
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？428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQG2kezpWbT
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOg29xyBp9e
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。428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡajoPkfp0hm
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1c5nCR5pUv
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。428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMdAAGH4JSt
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDede9TRK9S
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？428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7TsRFx8ea8
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGx3bQVQOpM
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。428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyWT0uBm4bx
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2DNDiVQOUy
不過紫藤現在就在這裡。428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOWu7eDVN1S
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdNrdInuvTJ
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。428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPeKTj6nnkf
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjt8fD3ZsJH
於是、紫藤探出指頭，用指腹輕貼上了杜若的臉頰。428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡePkT223uZ0
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeX1OPrDw4L
「……我會試著做到的。」428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBwM0hEQEul
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh9TVCSX39J
「什麼嘛……」聽見這不乾脆的回答，杜若便沒輒地笑了。428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1EedGoVy6n
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSxYRN7KsDK
「不過……我相信紫藤喔。」428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB0EeHx6ycw
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5hWrdErau0
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。428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5Ra4gPCPCe
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdS7UvlUxLJ
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。428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuuAdg6Njly
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlmZbE5HbtT
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。428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxBihFqJDPm
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgZVAofq84k
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。428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlvBlwcpKfx
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnkREDEa8l7
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。428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ9IMZ8Jtzp
