迴響的隆隆聲如同夢境般遠去。347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBR4t9FSdeR
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMSuiqc0kjP
從開出的小縫裡，一道狹窄的光切開了無邊無際的黑暗。347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCtASYhgIpQ
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVsCOhVfNHR
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。347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1IHos35MMg
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKpJwhrMrNy
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。347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY8eg4TGW0F
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPQbJ0etczT
連沙華會都靜謐下來，就代表連凌晨也快要結束了吧。347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ52DIypGkbg
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlVXcorKSDt
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。347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQJmiavf7Qs
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5FYXnYodW6
「走吧。我們一起回去。」347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj2tUfH9en7
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqWd69N0h1Q
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。347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3t6orkCWcs
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1elJVGuN1B
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。347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAFvyA1odOj
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGEXpvgYYSr
為了處理傷口，杜若讓紫藤靠到了床板上頭。347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxxmzmZYw8d
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgioMzJfSip
「嗚……！」347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdWuO9tMcR2
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUEXql3opMa
消毒藥水碰到傷口的劇痛，讓紫藤吃痛地叫出悶聲。347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaciiHhh1mA
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKSMA0wVFFD
「很痛嗎……？」杜若停下動作，擔憂地看向紫藤。347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxP9N41NFIr
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMIZRmHaMyC
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。347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNdq1doqN95
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaAuftTjCGH
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。347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ05Aj1fMWN1
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcMiUql8kKp
「……我還可以忍。」說完，紫藤打直手臂。347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaMTXIoSBSl
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡanhuMTr6ag
杜若點點頭，卻宛如做錯了事一般地垂下眼簾。347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG6lmSzQ6lw
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqDVuxdBcpl
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。347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmGKd0X6rla
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAj3lpDFRTz
「那、再忍耐一下就好。」347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPfSGm2jdhJ
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEOa6uyg8fk
「呼、呼……嗚——！」347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQnGKd4wv1L
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ3eaNyb1hq
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。347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoTC0yTgnzo
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc5hNwWFnXF
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。347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTS2om7asIJ
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsEqP097Yd4
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。347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQbtShY2Se1
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd33jeIFft3
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。347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLZPvRokeBj
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu4OIRiH76b
「還要喝嗎？」杜若捧著還有一半的水杯，輕柔地問。347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvRGu9izHow
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKQiS4D2Lon
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。347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0v5IERzrdA
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXI42LQ0DcQ
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。347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTBCLmfmqqc
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmX2I5mQF2s
「……謝謝。」347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRxg8AOued7
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlQv8RbMhVC
「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。347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvBeafU4ZH4
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSyk4RNPvek
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。347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZuMuC5qkpl
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCdIyL6Ixon
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。347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZFRjbFQZGy
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7uOu7E06MZ
不過，這無疑都是事實。347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYqUZkALgyy
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgUQajzfA0r
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。347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZd9MyLkf1T
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI0AkCApv37
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。347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUFHr6vIoBZ
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmyO4d1DnJU
「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。347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDJ8jHrEASA
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxVYQdSfyrf
沉默了半晌，紫藤才慢慢地開口。347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ57AOdsKVcg
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaPHyp5I9Wi
「是我媽媽的遺物。」347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsxDbuwMGDb
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZIMFuOkMtZ
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。347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq869BtbX4c
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrqW1oWdlZA
「咦……？那為什麼會在墨駒的手裡呀？」杜若不假思索地問道。347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuoJl99OJ72
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTsdLUEfNc4
「我也不知道。」紫藤搖搖頭，黯然地闔上雙眼。347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJFiX7VENuN
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEL9Ugf0ihW
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。347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYGt7D3dVLB
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡatgUpD5wBT
「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：347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5cxJ4LeHJY
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwP57ZXxeeq
「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。」347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwBcu86bqaq
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPvKOjXScSq
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。347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7HkaBw1FQn
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVNcYcaVDc1
「這就是那時候、他們從媽媽的身上搶走的東西之一。」347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTjhEXfdm8W
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTEDsZLRgO9
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。347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy5ednaYGhR
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdwRW5Teunf
從那時起，濺在臉上的那朵紅花就已經在紫藤的心頭生根。347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2Jij4qD4yz
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcTieYPXgpZ
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。347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuCEJmF3JfX
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8KbT9kFMzl
「原來……這是對紫藤來說這麼重要的東西啊。」347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa1URYAsk9R
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnQh7SesQVy
「嗯。」紫藤在胸前連同戒指握緊了拳頭。347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwouHce0nSp
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4gCbbSwAJE
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。347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl9JewAPmb3
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw6DoQxzlQT
自己已經不想要再失去任何東西了。347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8ZF4LRhWhq
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3cph1xPLdB
「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。347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg1VlEo6dZb
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD3ZJt85xod
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。347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUNXuabggJb
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRWd0OsWfPy
「媽媽他——」347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ46npMX3vvG
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrr6eL8SCFJ
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。347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrrcJibNGus
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj4AVyeb157
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」。347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFcOriirqac
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYM9ZTCRqVt
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。347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd5pRhfkrX7
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuBhG3rc46m
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。347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGtikbDdQ5u
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡisKgPB5NVQ
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。347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE29oj3tt4J
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCDu6pBfuu3
但紫藤一點都不喜歡學校。347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8Urx8lZa9M
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ24dYz9cfD5
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。347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzJINsy8ntG
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTQPNVXhgGb
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。347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdvpxSM8BJ9
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5kFzjgzKxK
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。347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBmWzQEp3E1
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVh8WHxQibS
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。347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJe4qjFQRfY
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK0OP9BwWAu
嗯，這樣就夠了。那時的紫藤只有這麼單純的滿足。347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4umn7jJ4T4
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMgbbAz0awI
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。347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdShKRQfQEW
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjjIYDf4p6F
那是一起倒塌事件。347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOLq6rPcvED
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFn6salOVUu
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。347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmnXdvOAwoj
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoq6g5XiSNZ
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。347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPxOSG795xW
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ80NgvzJMJF
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。347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD9DLFffdbD
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2QXiEN3uoC
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。347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu0y5yCKdub
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ43pyCzc0MJ
「……我會找到給墨駒這個戒指的人。」347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdfIUEL4FSt
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAHXE8xSmBB
收起回憶，紫藤再次握緊了戒指。347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrvVCYI5MEo
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3B8cwWDHLa
「然後，殺了他。」347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzzUsIFNsic
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDD6n7NToJT
紫藤的眼神猶如熾火，沒有一分一毫的搖曳。347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIrUmBt9xHg
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQuGV3nHLst
但只不過幾秒，便很快地萎靡了下來。347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfhgTjO9RVm
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJZQeOAW7fZ
「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。」347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsK7rdyyvJ2
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkSjHevgz9w
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。347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxpz15OkJCM
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBnoCp8MXPv
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。347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWfxl0CDsq4
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0nXM9LHrfN
「原來、這就是紫藤想要跟我一起行動的原因呀。」347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIZkgPJ33ZQ
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNyfEZg3U7z
「……嗯。」347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDMSyIoSxTK
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJgAzTZqkeE
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。347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYAE5o0VCAc
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdz1U9mZonP
紫藤深信，這就是自己向那些骯髒禽獸復仇的楔子。347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq1cA7LD2mi
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkJDMlz9x0l
這就是足以斬斷自己心頭那朵紅花的白刃。347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtdVxlXFHLm
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPYxWXt9Lr6
「……杜若妳呢？」347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6zIc6S0ozH
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhjSfxyW7ml
紫藤拾起快要滿溢的情感，回望了杜若那如新月般的雙眸。347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg8cOsYXjwD
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9GLIFGa3Vn
「又是為什麼……會開始當殺手？」347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUKmQNSuXX2
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1xbnWT5zNt
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。347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuFDOyix0rs
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLmIliMT80g
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。347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ02YhWkdOHS
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAkSfDrIpyu
「紫藤……不會生氣吧？」347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2IdIMOyaZw
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwWlCzG1QFA
杜若果然還在意著那時自己的衝動。347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWY8aObSuNf
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡffO3RH260V
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。347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOnzs7cOjAP
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiZKCq19NLX
「不會。」紫藤堅定地說：「我保證。」347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzIV0xriumb
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9iMDjj0GjM
等到紫藤緩緩收起手後，杜若才按著胸口，下定決心地開口。347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlqxJNgBXcN
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwuTovHxsPN
「……我想要救陶壺叔。」347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb6IG1Q9LQk
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBOD5UF4mVd
杜若喃喃吐出的回答令紫藤感到十分意外。347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2jmWPQYmir
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbor29CnDgG
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？347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0COfFXoggu
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHbM3iSmnuv
就好像發現了紫藤的疑惑，杜若幽幽地繼續說道：347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtlPJCguP1a
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhffGt9LuRx
「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。」347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvK9bWBrB4B
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwdrD2JaIOD
全身慢慢就會不能動的病？347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxfbsURBR5n
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIEDlagqHMe
這種病紫藤是頭一次聽見。347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd5BjSmT8qS
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5fBI7ptvjd
「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。」347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAf6ZwxCvRd
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7iMIQGSUJW
「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。347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMTUtOyHdSm
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuVYubOKgNl
「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。」347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7L4gwUobyp
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzDUGuXiUqe
杜若的笑只看得見無力。347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKLBQZdnTeC
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1greKyJxyX
「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。」347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡujTr4B8NUa
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaLqGEZg85X
到這裡，杜若便沒有繼續說下去了。347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRUbpG1UZfH
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOYfdifjlsd
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。347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3prfFd0NIV
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO4dG04lC7g
然而，紫藤卻忍不住想要質疑的念頭。347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaGnVe4kjEo
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcNhbkLxeI6
「那個狐狸、真的就這麼值得相信嗎？」347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX7JEQZyxG4
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHGclSv75DC
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。347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK9DtmeFhHC
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyRjGc8yhiZ
「……狐狸一直都對我很好呀。」347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIPzWQubA5h
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ3CP4Nf3ZA
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。347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNzlLvouIEA
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvLRWDTop7v
「所以，我還是相信狐狸。」347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJdrCh3H215
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5oI6BojmMQ
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。347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡByAbJXCtjK
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKUSnzwf7ED
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。347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ17JtCieXss
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKrTzQpjLg0
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。347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLvzbxRSUaI
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9HQNLwmPWm
哪怕、就算那道光芒是朝自己射出的子彈也一樣。347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC2sFLKck8D
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4gJPKNV5QC
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？347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡukFer6fJM3
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPoE6XTNqxw
這怎麼可能。347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0GsByhcqip
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVPnrAAX98h
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。347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhFmeEpJT6W
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbuNMGqXeS0
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。347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuceAz5rA6M
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCGYeMipGNz
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。347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA20GE4pTKt
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy0g22DT2My
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。347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT3eRuu4yCB
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoibJ0M5dgS
察覺到掌心的柔軟，杜若看著紫藤靦腆地一笑。347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtehi4KZJCT
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe98ndgz6Ld
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347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkPGOyXlYMA
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUQrErjlLLA
「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。347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡioR3r9PKe7
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRmJHeHhU7R
「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！」347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4NT5zThZRM
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa2HyU7sw41
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。347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMSafY5n6Y4
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGvwADOmABA
「不過，果然還是不能夠靠沙華會的人呢。」347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNJP5YCAdX0
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbnwqncpmNl
經過剛才被反擊的經驗，讓兩人都對這點有了更多的共識。347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpEkwb2lZtw
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxo5IoRDihN
說了句「話說回來」後，杜若就一轉話鋒、向紫藤問道：347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNQdruOnHcq
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK6Rl5whSbZ
「紫藤想要殺掉的人又是誰呀？紫藤還記得嗎？」347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwaXCUKo3bi
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡElvObxdj3H
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。347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ578AOYyPzp
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqhS4Glo9Fl
「是一個……在脖子後面紋著白色線條的沙華會紋身的人。」347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRAQsLbAmpz
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP6uYthPsqC
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。347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtfRP8yo5Np
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS9aMkd3Krd
「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。」347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvq2ERoXKbY
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW4ZUDJZstC
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。347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiOfjCOsjAF
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvhfyHSIeyz
「這樣的話，我也來幫忙吧！」杜若自告奮勇地舉高手：347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTc4KhXnHGD
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiFTaWaGwxp
「兩個人一起找絕對比較快的！」347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGuGeZkOYMw
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxFgR74kXEA
杜若的模樣、讓紫藤晚了一步才發現自己說錯了話。347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZPuT9zJ3u2
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxwEXPLo82k
紫藤默默地低下頭、沉聲回答。347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYxBuC3c9OW
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKYEYwB1Ezn
「……不用那樣。我……我自己就夠了。」347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf6xASpMJp6
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwJmNLOkk4v
這冷淡的回答讓杜若頓時像被潑了水的貓咪似地一愣。347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyF0KrN89Xl
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ07ERFiPUWI
「可是、紫藤不是說到現在都……」347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡViKJHZqoXt
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXDgJdKIQcs
「這本來就是我自己的事。」347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpaDbFs7wBT
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGkSzZ4nRB9
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。347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3M8qVXAVSg
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNAzpX8xaxT
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。347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMoJpwkVwQf
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbLRyuPdXCl
「那要是紫藤遇到危險怎麼辦！」倏地，杜若站起身、提高音量347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgiYnmWhWlK
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLCXb96D99I
「我就是為了保護自己，才會去學習要怎麼搏鬥。」347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUt4sbB1XH9
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3yVtkZFjX9
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。347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqYkuF8sRLL
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBUgcr0CPgs
「可是、假如對方有槍、假如遇到像今天一樣的事……」347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX3qcVN9ssQ
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMRvR8CabGO
「我是不會讓自己被殺死的。」347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT0gw6a3s4F
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡODpF4HwEfR
「紫藤明明就傷成這樣、還說這種話……！」347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsB4nByulZA
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjO4jH70EuY
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。347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ840KVkTHBI
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZMwWRTHbGj
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。347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHIDkV4tR2F
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYHqUjUmTcD
杜若雖然想甩開，但卻在一半就失去了力氣。347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxSOEu0tPRr
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfSKY9qU5Yu
「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……」347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVmmVSmwP7c
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ2wF9GxYMJ
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。347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE8lFtDBfcu
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr5SAsCwuwa
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？347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbFOKY0EC4R
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPQuoldXCaP
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。347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOLh7qzvyLx
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQy1tNzha4g
最後，紫藤還是用了奸詐的說法。347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFHv6LTtvHn
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBTdDfl2Zbj
「我跟陶壺叔約定過，說不會讓妳受傷了。」347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTrvMrAMkix
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM4u6Gl3Y5Q
「那難道紫藤要我看著妳受傷嗎？」347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdZrnB8bY2X
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCAQKsofpp3
雖然夾雜著鼻音、但這句話卻如此強而有力。347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡceV4XEGehS
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRfCsqlyVEg
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。347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL1XppQy01q
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQDE46iYmJr
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。347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaATZFWBY40
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQhTbqUqUf1
而紫藤打算再在杜若的身上再添一層相同的痛苦嗎？347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxDzUlFiIrj
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTm3b5gSiqr
紫藤無法回答，只是沉默地別開了視線。347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXc4HH9eMJ9
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIDsA1r1XFb
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？347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡycYwfVuCKd
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡan4fCm3LQT
哪條路都是崎嶇，哪條路也都是痛苦。347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpNal4NHPAU
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ45QiZ2ugF2
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？347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCmD4pkq23V
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb7nTVoVjG6
只因為就連接受也是痛苦吧。347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdkPOPkyfHc
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpexYtfzP1c
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？347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQfi089IAjc
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWXXsgpBKZi
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。347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6T7aohWn2v
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqVcMKwa1l5
思及至此，紫藤才慢慢地放鬆了手中的力道。347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhzZbfoQEAA
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0bc6lHA7Xz
「答應我、要先保護好妳自己。」347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlcen67fR9t
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeFU6CooWD1
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。347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1PuYeGY19b
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCiVFXwzRDZ
「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。347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3G4Xh3UQix
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgpAsjzztT7
「所以，我的份就用來保護紫藤吧！」347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK4FkbmVEK0
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡznELzkr6AT
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。347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTYdjt6TIUh
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXiex9NfukO
「喔喔！紫藤笑了耶！」347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmdQMNhpIwP
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7BvSlfk4YE
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。347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcG8qxkz05n
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBZxYdq2FRQ
「哇啊啊——！對不起！」杜若立刻慌張地放下手來。347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJwXcGGQfhG
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLZnfjZJEcm
疼痛雖然還沒散去，但紫藤還是發自內心地笑了。347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuUmTq90aun
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5rwUlK5eYN
「……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？」347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKOhnP90wmV
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyAkcvVBeGD
「咦？」這提議讓紫藤也感到意外地眨了眨眼。347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFXuAKgTdhi
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFIYBXsOWFN
「雖然是我自己猜的……不過狐狸應該很擅長找人吧。」347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRRTHq6nkGe
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLZ0DhxYzrZ
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。347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKMcIDfG8ml
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfYLFxfzPZM
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。347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtg4BlV2q4X
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBoQ7te2zzx
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。347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKN5h1dMPuj
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUvtaG6K8O2
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？347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ32b5JFE7EO
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn8AhStBqBr
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？347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbANmgBdrcV
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDDxhxq1gR1
「那……可以幫我跟狐狸說說看嗎？」347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZE1rg21w7h
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOUpP8uh5A7
「當然呀，這是我提議的嘛～」杜若自信地抱起手臂、挺起胸膛。347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPBhvNFTKG1
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvIQ9dpWoLF
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。347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqFlHBXLykB
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnMUjJOfVbP
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。347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfqPXwDRd9x
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLP9UGT5ON1
「妳的傷……換我幫妳吧。」347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS2OmmcSIDC
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeFPJBuC7Ra
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。347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyYfeTsqDnx
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXSsk6eJqGZ
「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。347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAONyztPSSv
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK0nQ6bsJE3
「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。347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMmfnZARtSY
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTKDtdOzlaT
「撕得開來嗎？」杜若看著紫藤有些僵硬的動作，有所顧慮地問。347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAd8eU78DbO
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfNPLyytDpv
「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。347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcGE3fsONST
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5EmGzBkpqd
「……好了。換膝蓋吧。」347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMVkDofM2ss
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsRF7gP2xJA
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。347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4HyEhZ0My7
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwrqjpZtOPz
「我臉上有什麼嗎？」紫藤不解地偏過頭。347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdj4lUTEQcW
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMyZOtGDUJ3
「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：347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEchnRufFHB
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOaw2jPkLnt
「只是覺得紫藤認真的模樣……果然好帥喔。」347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxQ2yOL7WJH
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz1l8cj9MEp
突如其來的稱讚，令紫藤頓時耳根一熱。347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZvZPPYEqyt
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbFqOgu8wSK
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？347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBH3bV3YpQo
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY1OThw1uq7
「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：347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbsoGWnuyBB
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5IkRJq2Y0O
「謝謝……」347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡthW59W23p0
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlelwJeSZT2
「嗯？」347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2YCaIRkBx2
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOT8dpFPVbQ
「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……！」347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡneWCroaudB
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUNC7xDdZq3
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。347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdG37dkIYmY
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeZennFdtvD
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。347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJjpTfTtAom
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR5SasxGA9L
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。347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA7NqIVe3zS
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPEeTECqyWT
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。347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB57SrpY4oI
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaNvksjbo0D
「稍微……稍微彎起來一點。」347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsNkpUD2ow0
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPQC5OA3npi
「這樣？」347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXPed8V7ebV
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4a2K6ERoIL
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。347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN0tMDLyGRX
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbAspw0MrMR
「……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。347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnz0u3WCoLu
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCdqTk7LiiA
於是紫藤收起醫療用品，起身將箱子放回原位。347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYJqV5FAOge
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1vzhraOtiy
「對了，剛才紫藤提到的事件……」347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0UF2FZWQcP
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg6Oc2qV2GE
就在要踏出房門的時候，杜若忽然想到了什麼似地開了口。347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5W3hCp2pLv
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGX943V9NAf
「事件、是倒塌事件嗎？」347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqCgIv5nduB
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLBX5mVB4L8
「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。347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLc3EDT2sJg
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKC08GsneBC
「怎麼了嗎？」看見杜若的模樣，令紫藤擔心地走了回去。347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHsaj9YeX2a
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtxtwa92Pqp
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。347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4Yhnfdvmc3
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuLSfXIibdt
「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！」347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmApyjinkOp
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ19L6o3U4k
紫藤雖然感到疑惑，卻還是沒有多問地走出了房間。347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC1KXTHKJIe
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlTvoSdPqvX
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。347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYfFRy7hEfp
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNPXsF6mXvK
「我們……好像弄錯順序了耶。」347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX3uTFvej9L
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLuDTdPvIRe
「……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。347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMuTQKeD2KS
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU9mCCvhhOo
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。347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGIUTIGfSRZ
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxIK3V8yAWS
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。347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5LUOLyDe2S
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeKANRlNGUc
「紫藤需要我幫忙嗎？」347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMr7fE6V6M3
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYlQgLAocgW
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。347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRAX82H7w4p
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjG0EsYGzMk
「我、我自己來就可以了……」347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡovC2Pboudd
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRjMSDp0ff9
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。347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPDkAuZhA2f
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡor8KPDJiBR
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。347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVUs32QsHLY
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhxSgY9GCuX
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。347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNVP460OpYr
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1B7XmYVs8j
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。347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbjYIGLlUNx
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdiiSuQjO0M
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。347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJFotd9WwV3
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTUBesTcfyh
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？347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVZI8hLyUjg

「……紫藤。」347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡISrbm6onsF
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC4KCYMeaWH
「怎麼了？」347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ67w3McTG0N
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMtxcZVHtFq
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。347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwI5tnHcDnK
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCcCEpalqsF
「紫藤說、會一直在我身邊……我可以相信紫藤吧？」347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMjK1oABRou
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcmOjwOIz5J
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。347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW4FqG8D7Ms
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrct7FdHj9r
紫藤伸出手輕蓋在了杜若的後腦，卻沒有辦法就這麼點頭。347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡauq7bKmjeR
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6SZdPeDmvO
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？347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCw1lAWbJkw
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkJhYuD2nOS
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。347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9GC2j9fqoe
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ178diwYwUH
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。347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIIyLZ3rBBJ
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYJV8cY02Kk
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？347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAXwyujy4UP
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnMHPKuHza4
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。347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8e3gjjPGwE
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT0IRy7rqjd
不過紫藤現在就在這裡。347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOHwKvFmhAK
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLwJPx6oJ3q
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。347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhxTTDXSQmh
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIJsfZDt5bC
於是、紫藤探出指頭，用指腹輕貼上了杜若的臉頰。347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrZEC2m3ZUg
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9v97LGNLZI
「……我會試著做到的。」347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbAZK9BjLmu
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuI60bni2Z8
「什麼嘛……」聽見這不乾脆的回答，杜若便沒輒地笑了。347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMvbsFVATTf
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbk1jNNUu1F
「不過……我相信紫藤喔。」347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBbwVnmGIkO
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDSKIbwGD4G
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。347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ0m8Of04Z5
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRqRsVRGzvC
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。347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4GwkoXq2us
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2I93e1enVl
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。347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn6gG6HU584
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiah0LjOQb1
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。347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA45PV671cg
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7IC0dkYCbf
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。347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZa9lMFa28J
