迴響的隆隆聲如同夢境般遠去。371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW3IWQXax9f
371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDmpMrbLZGq
從開出的小縫裡，一道狹窄的光切開了無邊無際的黑暗。371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJbx7h7h4RF
371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjpSUvNJn4F
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。371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7KQDZqOXqj
371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqZDaZnIOQC
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。371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRMq7W40ckE
371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBdYvvxrIFs
連沙華會都靜謐下來，就代表連凌晨也快要結束了吧。371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx9uYALKYdc
371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaj9xNGH7Mk
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。371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCqEPdxzEoE
371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWWFR7WzjpM
「走吧。我們一起回去。」371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf8RFgvQG5q
371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA4AsIF3Ei9
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。371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR1x4zv49Uy
371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUKd8UgeSH3
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。371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHtqUSxuvx0
371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBq2qj1M5x2
為了處理傷口，杜若讓紫藤靠到了床板上頭。371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqGI0oeTx5o
371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsmKz6CinK0
「嗚……！」371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkCtFNf3Km0
371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu9BthucO2K
消毒藥水碰到傷口的劇痛，讓紫藤吃痛地叫出悶聲。371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdy5V4jhjm3
371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm4W8kBqbkG
「很痛嗎……？」杜若停下動作，擔憂地看向紫藤。371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmhWPRa0Xb5
371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5Th7TY2PSA
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。371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiCTzG37NS8
371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8ZJ9MhGPku
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。371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMYGPf2YwYr
371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz7wM9w0Bl1
「……我還可以忍。」說完，紫藤打直手臂。371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6g3KxwfcCO
371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKLRsZVNf8l
杜若點點頭，卻宛如做錯了事一般地垂下眼簾。371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9TyyVLT5Pq
371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKkfom00OUV
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。371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBHhgsCeSv3
371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhKTnq0nWEI
「那、再忍耐一下就好。」371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg4yR37dLtd
371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVlfNNxTpLn
「呼、呼……嗚——！」371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8RlB55dmLc
371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0Vt7hnC7gj
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。371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ76haxcPJAD
371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNttFv9XShr
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。371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEVBt7qOVwZ
371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDUfmQ0fbvD
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。371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1ezzNyCBAF
371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiGeLEjkyRV
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。371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH7rkQTipdR
371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMAzy6XsMxj
「還要喝嗎？」杜若捧著還有一半的水杯，輕柔地問。371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzmaVYbwBva
371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXVfzD48bLm
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。371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5Zf3Y07Ce1
371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyXIYMrpUzy
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。371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnq4hV0e2db
371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPKblwO4qrn
「……謝謝。」371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2TlFbOIjEU
371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDc4cULSqAN
「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。371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmfq33sUqCI
371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcQsEnx9Wcq
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。371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWERtvzEdCW
371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG4VzygsUCe
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。371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3zeEJU9COe
371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDnRLeiLzB4
不過，這無疑都是事實。371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfAuqJ0QA7X
371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCmWq8MQb5p
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。371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj3SHiPurPW
371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdEvu47gff4
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。371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF2UAlmByuQ
371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMole1R2i41
「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。371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN0eSHIAyjN
371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI0KdxJXRd1
沉默了半晌，紫藤才慢慢地開口。371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvbSqahyhig
371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSw12CULgpO
「是我媽媽的遺物。」371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKvcF23Ivoz
371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgeWdvVeEUV
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。371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdaMvuC88jN
371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcIZGtgrLZq
「咦……？那為什麼會在墨駒的手裡呀？」杜若不假思索地問道。371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiOxh2jjozg
371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5AmOlMD3HO
「我也不知道。」紫藤搖搖頭，黯然地闔上雙眼。371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaKxe03xfhg
371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPDXK3j5vFY
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。371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXZwqQXm9cm
371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡACCRxaPz45
「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：371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5cEW8fsbAW
371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6O1TDZGB30
「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。」371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu7MgXSlvjn
371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh6X4RryiKP
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。371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡljqoJdfaZ3
371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsonPLt49Ia
「這就是那時候、他們從媽媽的身上搶走的東西之一。」371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiel06APuYu
371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMBhG69psKE
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。371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqY4IA5c8MA
371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRr2kbVdcX1
從那時起，濺在臉上的那朵紅花就已經在紫藤的心頭生根。371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQjEot2FTO4
371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdQoBDTd5DM
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。371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRA5CJayqMb
371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUoeKHzn9iC
「原來……這是對紫藤來說這麼重要的東西啊。」371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTfTlXTdNlL
371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhpX1mHJCus
「嗯。」紫藤在胸前連同戒指握緊了拳頭。371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ1havZbvXa
371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6jzlNrUbs2
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。371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp5uM5H7v99
371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqDI3h7F7Bp
自己已經不想要再失去任何東西了。371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXLES0TuNZM
371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLfN2mENv36
「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。371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr3j6QQm4dK
371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNT6obJAX6H
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。371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ38bSsiSszN
371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb2iVc54VfA
「媽媽他——」371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡikqYv8axFd
371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCWcImJY8cG
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。371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0L2b6P5cL6
371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU81BYeabtN
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」。371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ2ycBCxSjG
371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhaDhoyxh5Q
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。371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDSsWmnnBY9
371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2WvAya4BSb
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。371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8AhC7hjpXl
371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIDcq8EQLWr
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。371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUTepsVwbHc
371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVr6ulZiGwz
但紫藤一點都不喜歡學校。371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwiJ9Vr9oQL
371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmo1v3dWgoI
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。371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPuQ0uWjdmA
371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrrEBJRTBfB
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。371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjqxKN3GVqY
371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGLwwinSLTE
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。371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJcptopSNq7
371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnWWPkLdb2q
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。371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ26esujuPLw
371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLgHmh6kiVe
嗯，這樣就夠了。那時的紫藤只有這麼單純的滿足。371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR09aYfwLuU
371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsZFm9ODBlF
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。371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMw9iv44nw7
371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd4wXIWfPtY
那是一起倒塌事件。371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh4RhuJvsTa
371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmtVZGi6ZSs
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。371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNakVjt2QZ4
371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB3oKVGYUK4
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。371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgl6eiczlvj
371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9gZ3mPfF5Q
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。371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6EYNAmoKmi
371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEHGEzMY4az
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。371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb8sFJWgf8B
371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEZ84Lpg7al
「……我會找到給墨駒這個戒指的人。」371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvP3aSe1gyD
371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYv0Jbw9iwp
收起回憶，紫藤再次握緊了戒指。371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPO8BOqTM7G
371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡICZC2meg19
「然後，殺了他。」371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRyIBBcbQGw
371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaheqfDxVcQ
紫藤的眼神猶如熾火，沒有一分一毫的搖曳。371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFUryBTmnjo
371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtZo3F7u0x1
但只不過幾秒，便很快地萎靡了下來。371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN4ZyZ3dl3q
371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFnC4wrgv7W
「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。」371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0mL1GpoTin
371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFCcyw6j0kx
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。371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlp1Y75aEjc
371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFL23Tu9cy9
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。371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7xJZ5QN6uG
371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ65pmWe0lTj
「原來、這就是紫藤想要跟我一起行動的原因呀。」371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhGNERNtozG
371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnDkpda8gl0
「……嗯。」371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRQaHFQJXJ1
371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaoT3TBsO72
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。371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSAuNnVOrjT
371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNmlbEh4MPA
紫藤深信，這就是自己向那些骯髒禽獸復仇的楔子。371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiVqujd1n6Q
371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9O1pIgRsKo
這就是足以斬斷自己心頭那朵紅花的白刃。371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnOK02jJatk
371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiMlQTYMUaW
「……杜若妳呢？」371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKeJGSykSA6
371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkVX5ogy2xM
紫藤拾起快要滿溢的情感，回望了杜若那如新月般的雙眸。371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXbEw3WaNIi
371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqlRFwSMgV5
「又是為什麼……會開始當殺手？」371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4v6dJ0I158
371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkPMZyRkaHl
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。371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwWwm4G2PpH
371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTZEwJ9FCEB
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。371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG3SzmezwT1
371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYcfCs0Voj4
「紫藤……不會生氣吧？」371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0qwW6DZh8R
371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡINhyMCY3es
杜若果然還在意著那時自己的衝動。371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOKAufzrOuv
371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzHuxbwHcsf
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。371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPWafB37N14
371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJHik07ltOY
「不會。」紫藤堅定地說：「我保證。」371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡurv7dG2roO
371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyEGaC2d96V
等到紫藤緩緩收起手後，杜若才按著胸口，下定決心地開口。371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw2NYxvEELz
371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf1M9QRM2qG
「……我想要救陶壺叔。」371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFUpKaxw0Qk
371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX9eryjnjbp
杜若喃喃吐出的回答令紫藤感到十分意外。371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡttpqXMI36k
371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWSIKGQRaXs
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？371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡozGVVX7nfC
371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWfaday2LBd
就好像發現了紫藤的疑惑，杜若幽幽地繼續說道：371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKzPYY6MRhq
371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvmIo6DcIJw
「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。」371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrPfy6V36BX
371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQKOYs5WEUk
全身慢慢就會不能動的病？371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY9G0o9gY4Z
371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWAhQJQzJLR
這種病紫藤是頭一次聽見。371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwbsE1TFL22
371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm5a2YKimpg
「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。」371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6lrR3Sj5sf
371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrxjyXKOq47
「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。371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdks0PoHsrn
371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvOX0xqgb4q
「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。」371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡceeybiouhq
371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW9nLL3S1Ie
杜若的笑只看得見無力。371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1SYs6MEt3g
371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYo0usCMwNJ
「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。」371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaxDGVbguak
371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3migA543t6
到這裡，杜若便沒有繼續說下去了。371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFZV3rKXnmZ
371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyLcwqkvnAf
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。371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpRY0ZGoMXp
371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZfL15IwlQj
然而，紫藤卻忍不住想要質疑的念頭。371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjGw3xbdlD1
371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLZuobSEfVo
「那個狐狸、真的就這麼值得相信嗎？」371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6to0YV24RL
371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGgjOv27PO3
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。371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5N19JWgOBL
371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ18TLKj8Ht7
「……狐狸一直都對我很好呀。」371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHXCkvIIynz
371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEVMYhLXYt9
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。371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ67KClmcfiG
371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT75S73Ilgw
「所以，我還是相信狐狸。」371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzO3qCV7FpG
371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8hGBhc08xO
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。371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmjlOucyRsc
371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIcBwBfkEx5
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。371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSIskvSeFju
371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9xftlHK2I9
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。371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWCd1PKpdPu
371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrID7rWF9ms
哪怕、就算那道光芒是朝自己射出的子彈也一樣。371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoN7yZzKu7Y
371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn20MTIjCp0
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？371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIRD1D7Cidf

這怎麼可能。371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUWzWdF0EQr
371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcu4aHhzDU9
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。371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP54NExVezB
371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5A80qZfB2F
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。371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrJB6FxfVGk
371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXZg9fTmzV5
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。371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCvY1ucqqVi
371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRuOkYaU9qV
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。371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsHPYtphe2J
371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI1ImILdze8
察覺到掌心的柔軟，杜若看著紫藤靦腆地一笑。371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz0pAElY6vE
371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtiLlyEOw7r
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371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9cdFbbbkIA
371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4cvb7YO31N
「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。371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz93JF5p2yB
371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi8zz2nokWj
「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！」371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXgOxAqe3Oe
371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgKfODyM0kh
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。371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHfVwVgz6iO
371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdhMDrBXPsI
「不過，果然還是不能夠靠沙華會的人呢。」371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhN9wx5RF8W
371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJL87XkLSXG
經過剛才被反擊的經驗，讓兩人都對這點有了更多的共識。371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt68nHCXKfz
371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEoCMx5jxHm
說了句「話說回來」後，杜若就一轉話鋒、向紫藤問道：371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdWN3Ua4zb0
371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO249cbra9m
「紫藤想要殺掉的人又是誰呀？紫藤還記得嗎？」371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ000zsVRiY5
371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcVNHC6cK0p
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。371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5o2UcIwlkr
371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb9ZZlL2msv
「是一個……在脖子後面紋著白色線條的沙華會紋身的人。」371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpRRvjONjx1
371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnPOmIEurqU
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。371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6kO7liBZiC
371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡujk1MG9Mvb
「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。」371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdgzuzGOppW
371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTrm6lDlPIt
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。371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeAUcJSCgtB
371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzdIs9vZNV0
「這樣的話，我也來幫忙吧！」杜若自告奮勇地舉高手：371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzrIRC2uzax
371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2g8211NtrB
「兩個人一起找絕對比較快的！」371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZPzJ4Yc940
371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2kUrmGyT4G
杜若的模樣、讓紫藤晚了一步才發現自己說錯了話。371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXzwM3KQ2vN
371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZoCmuvT3wr
紫藤默默地低下頭、沉聲回答。371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgaWNmY8X4E
371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEtW9wrc2Cq
「……不用那樣。我……我自己就夠了。」371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGlIrzjV1zh
371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡULYcodvP0L
這冷淡的回答讓杜若頓時像被潑了水的貓咪似地一愣。371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXvUO0XN59b
371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8f9GVcuBRr
「可是、紫藤不是說到現在都……」371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBQihur5vNY
371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbvWB205gdy
「這本來就是我自己的事。」371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmrI40xIGhC
371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPoG3AqAyin
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。371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0D0BX8Vm7C
371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz5X65vlhjb
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。371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxoqN9Elekt
371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4QWDxiIjcl
「那要是紫藤遇到危險怎麼辦！」倏地，杜若站起身、提高音量371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ95JEUypJdb
371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAXmhFr5045
「我就是為了保護自己，才會去學習要怎麼搏鬥。」371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn6MOGsVu0n
371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVrne5sN9fi
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。371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡng28q2ZE0p
371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1OD572rVJD
「可是、假如對方有槍、假如遇到像今天一樣的事……」371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgnmkr7DsfD
371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡanYZfAT91X
「我是不會讓自己被殺死的。」371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6Le8xn6McU
371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpbAq7EyqPI
「紫藤明明就傷成這樣、還說這種話……！」371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOKtRrDZmbl
371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8iUv32tHWk
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。371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPKoykUtsxm
371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh2IRQli65b
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。371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3dO2SrmwFM
371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡox0qrAkWpD
杜若雖然想甩開，但卻在一半就失去了力氣。371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡumoLzSdLHg
371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQcSUuGaANU
「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……」371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHYR0u66Gft
371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdUKumnx0lm
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。371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5CzRtAxsAn
371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6iL9kC3c0r
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？371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYb4OLYh6TS
371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYhJCZEm2CM
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。371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRcUXSq56aC
371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsnexQsFChi
最後，紫藤還是用了奸詐的說法。371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZQ7IAqmCDJ
371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbTulTt1Kt7
「我跟陶壺叔約定過，說不會讓妳受傷了。」371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDEImR9o3I1
371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDpesycq32J
「那難道紫藤要我看著妳受傷嗎？」371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC5SHCJMCOx
371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡETNExyIYcc
雖然夾雜著鼻音、但這句話卻如此強而有力。371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3FoU8wymvq
371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDSE56PbVqF
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。371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOLtEhmskiV
371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMFqfn2XHkR
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。371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFKVmX3lhSW
371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfDyZyfwIkt
而紫藤打算再在杜若的身上再添一層相同的痛苦嗎？371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡztzGPsUOJG
371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfBr6gAdrUt
紫藤無法回答，只是沉默地別開了視線。371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQrm0aKgXAH
371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpRKzXdNnGS
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？371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKWAlBG5y66
371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKS5lQOHfGg
哪條路都是崎嶇，哪條路也都是痛苦。371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1f2Kx9KUz1
371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ8BYssUJsP
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？371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9KiroDPZIJ
371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWUwIuZIJAF
只因為就連接受也是痛苦吧。371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfUx3QHIdxk
371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtfDdzqpydi
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？371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt75qNWlNiw
371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCMzWd0izU5
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。371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPVIoB8qKDI
371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTIdkWkkbv9
思及至此，紫藤才慢慢地放鬆了手中的力道。371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo1fnrjREaz
371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJzxFHzR44h
「答應我、要先保護好妳自己。」371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwOTZh5xU6F
371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs0nj8xnyHQ
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。371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4WF1IYReWd
371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡALiRH3TguB
「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。371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFLMWxiAfnn
371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCaf3Rft7KO
「所以，我的份就用來保護紫藤吧！」371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqv07yKNwkh
371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡunW3DlXtpv
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。371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcqNeEmnwLp
371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1YlNP0xnDH
「喔喔！紫藤笑了耶！」371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJp6tjTEa8I
371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpzgm4Gqdh4
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。371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTnTODwemCj
371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfjGdxP2pjX
「哇啊啊——！對不起！」杜若立刻慌張地放下手來。371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ37JccpQKdB
371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5a8xZoe4hm
疼痛雖然還沒散去，但紫藤還是發自內心地笑了。371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv0lezcuDcb
371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZvG6Mr4XwG
「……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？」371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGRMol8gsG1
371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnDUZvj9yDb
「咦？」這提議讓紫藤也感到意外地眨了眨眼。371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIsBbm8bCkN
371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkkrqHL1nnS
「雖然是我自己猜的……不過狐狸應該很擅長找人吧。」371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO3NMJxLtgb
371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo1LPRK3pTF
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。371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjPzjndYuvG
371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ72knfp4vMP
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。371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnsyxtBvDT6
371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaIGgKHU16Y
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。371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡinlv26Rbaz
371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS5IMd38HRK
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？371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVqLOjbMHr9
371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡniAnPZFiXR
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？371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFG0sG20Qxm
371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrQxeuZ8dkv
「那……可以幫我跟狐狸說說看嗎？」371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsI4uE6sCEA
371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy2tU5WyWqn
「當然呀，這是我提議的嘛～」杜若自信地抱起手臂、挺起胸膛。371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUUTOjoOzuB
371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQG0inhEfAx
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。371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8E9otrcpOo
371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBvjRx3bVrg
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。371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMjLZY9wT9G
371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV4iOjJk3vB
「妳的傷……換我幫妳吧。」371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQSgZzK0r8R
371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8WenU8yDyG
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。371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlGMUFLcGkF
371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO7D45OXfE0
「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。371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlYEr9L6m8M
371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUwwnLl3fqv
「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。371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0p3qqrrjsb
371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNAxMXqvCXd
「撕得開來嗎？」杜若看著紫藤有些僵硬的動作，有所顧慮地問。371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf4O28uCDeF
371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCORQKetTbw
「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。371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmGASVkAXYb
371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmbFtd9XmMG
「……好了。換膝蓋吧。」371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPZQQzSkDpC
371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQKcxUOfHTc
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。371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxGINWYj4IH
371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKHpnoSpmhG
「我臉上有什麼嗎？」紫藤不解地偏過頭。371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcxsVDPRGkm
371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZu9EoRg5ps
「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：371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhhXJ9Zngam
371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPoJlwZEJ8n
「只是覺得紫藤認真的模樣……果然好帥喔。」371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQmbkM6nBcn
371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMjRI9zdIYB
突如其來的稱讚，令紫藤頓時耳根一熱。371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡws9k2oUK2d
371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFBBcvs4ZmB
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？371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF4wXuia2r8
371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB3znpWYPWK
「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：371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1srCRK04qJ
371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVDRB2Eed1I
「謝謝……」371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe7JGOXmapP
371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY5YQHPFz38
「嗯？」371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1I32vD1p04
371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe0VdOeYiRF
「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……！」371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIMBDzGBjQy
371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6safuhMW7X
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。371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU5ikgzDvGF
371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPPnaOZQouC
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。371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQNd6r3TLi2
371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsHTXjvO8bg
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。371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSYZT3BXKvh
371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAXz4lTeygg
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。371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmNmdxd3DFr
371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC38QDFSQg4
「稍微……稍微彎起來一點。」371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4CNn1uw0pH
371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2GPzollZ7H
「這樣？」371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqVQvc2eybs
371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnOdxmTStT4
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。371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqADpTOA71R
371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUVHCCeIoTX
「……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。371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2G7UOP9vJU
371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaau1UCYwoJ
於是紫藤收起醫療用品，起身將箱子放回原位。371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡajYIhehb01
371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWVQsygpsjS
「對了，剛才紫藤提到的事件……」371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfE5PRAyRr8
371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaWawvw3x5b
就在要踏出房門的時候，杜若忽然想到了什麼似地開了口。371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkizckPHmja
371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI3Z3CqtZMU
「事件、是倒塌事件嗎？」371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4hAjincRQt
371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjeZRKginaG
「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。371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZyVCuvq2CR
371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0jrX2GuKuu
「怎麼了嗎？」看見杜若的模樣，令紫藤擔心地走了回去。371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHti44WTAew
371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKLbWjPkeFC
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。371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8tlb6qC6pw
371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1TmWCRrnem
「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！」371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJEMh0ADznD
371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2Rp4NcxTXX
紫藤雖然感到疑惑，卻還是沒有多問地走出了房間。371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxDsWe2qBGK
371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡinUYkI1SKG
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。371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxXhffJWniC
371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡleANu3ESIo
「我們……好像弄錯順序了耶。」371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiSddXZLs51
371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfnYEhZJ5tE
「……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。371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN8cpHRyJsD
371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhPMHrubWsk
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。371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcaw5kEYMdf
371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoVAMaTIYWC
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。371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4snTSYLQDQ
371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwIQQUFhnvM
「紫藤需要我幫忙嗎？」371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAu7jcfWaf4
371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKluMWokV7L
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。371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVBNvYImIgK
371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡanVBe9doqE
「我、我自己來就可以了……」371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKl7k5kG1it
371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcjRHyBPj8h
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。371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcB4PWHxsXE
371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzQFFI9RaYk
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。371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlzxSuOYX2I
371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvGLqx1JJxK
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。371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQgz3pjsjD4
371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPORKOPCeDi
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。371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8paWWfJd1i

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。371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTcghvA8KPP
371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKNgXTkatJb
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？371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0LqBliDjJQ
371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnOaesz6rc3
「……紫藤。」371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9SvqRDf2yf
371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPRbhoHb2Kz
「怎麼了？」371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKNE9Y1gXsL
371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3EBb5vocYp
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。371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvEPttEW2Sr
371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo99bhQvogt
「紫藤說、會一直在我身邊……我可以相信紫藤吧？」371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGd0Lm9HcbZ
371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq3qeW0bYRs
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。371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzlAQmjA1Ve
371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzkHPrfrMXi
紫藤伸出手輕蓋在了杜若的後腦，卻沒有辦法就這麼點頭。371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYTugK4Kk2p
371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6Qpk0fWL3a
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？371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2GAzNm0EkY
371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBn9im9UWE8
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。371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3Ij7ymhpyk
371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8BsA1JxR3n
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。371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxkHvJKkgPb
371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjAhsNHG9CC
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？371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPpii4kKg3q
371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkv7Wr79Zjb
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。371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0y38p9ZfQy
371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5k0kKIJczj
不過紫藤現在就在這裡。371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi65TzI7lwm
371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHYBWaXxn4k
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。371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJSsVx0aYmG
371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp94h1C5Q2D
於是、紫藤探出指頭，用指腹輕貼上了杜若的臉頰。371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKBT0I9AvL1
371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgRFAxVw1L2
「……我會試著做到的。」371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡydpKvKMeCY
371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaXBtD7fwgf
「什麼嘛……」聽見這不乾脆的回答，杜若便沒輒地笑了。371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrtclJqMuiB
371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgpq6X3CWVG
「不過……我相信紫藤喔。」371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIRdaCVkBuT
371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBHUQxWrJpA
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。371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcKh7TaSHVw
371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMs8lyaq1Oz
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。371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUVrzMQ5JyD
371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPgkBr9X0lL
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。371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOb4ZRSnDEe
371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcI3WxZG10K
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。371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8vRjPC3IwP
371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKmd4NimJaF
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。371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwe52hiEjxu
