迴響的隆隆聲如同夢境般遠去。279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ67LjlQINvl
279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4sOfunNrzn
從開出的小縫裡，一道狹窄的光切開了無邊無際的黑暗。279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT1tVMqSum9
279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0gJDfamUZn
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。279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK7qJP3Xdww
279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8l2J2K4Yba
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。279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWEOJr4YURp
279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaGCQOklrnr
連沙華會都靜謐下來，就代表連凌晨也快要結束了吧。279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq8s0yERDgC
279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVTpcPshSlu
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。279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkruSgDwPGR
279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkhHBhRVAei
「走吧。我們一起回去。」279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvCusOg10Gr
279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHyVwdGrrNr
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。279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7hUasA93cx
279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhquPA9Pn4S
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。279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs1DCG8rbvr
279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQQdO6NlINA
為了處理傷口，杜若讓紫藤靠到了床板上頭。279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3bEeBoRYQe
279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyYsUrug29C
「嗚……！」279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1e20bTgzug
279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3rfBQYnKn8
消毒藥水碰到傷口的劇痛，讓紫藤吃痛地叫出悶聲。279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJQhSVVXaqZ
279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9SZuVHaoxQ
「很痛嗎……？」杜若停下動作，擔憂地看向紫藤。279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOdOPR1Yy14
279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOnJq7n5A6I
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。279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlhSlZT3mrP
279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2gMYZGGJEz
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。279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEAs34oeFNn
279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7PlzawbxpV
「……我還可以忍。」說完，紫藤打直手臂。279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp5tbQV4Vvj
279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV5RDzX0Z9z
杜若點點頭，卻宛如做錯了事一般地垂下眼簾。279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRA9q53jx2l
279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaS5yvPTHcZ
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。279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHsdeKNCEKB
279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC7R5ZvuTnG
「那、再忍耐一下就好。」279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡehIt1gLENs
279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoguLUifgy1
「呼、呼……嗚——！」279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8t1Yn1pEeL
279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7pGFrKJjh8
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。279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6TQ0DXBZas
279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgiTXasE509
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。279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyw6s9BIw7d
279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzHEcGiJBbD
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。279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtQSzH8LqMZ
279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEwZc3TSKLx
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。279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6yu50AwrsT
279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE0jhqwBqJh
「還要喝嗎？」杜若捧著還有一半的水杯，輕柔地問。279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkjSlOxacMs
279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF8C3dhNtFK
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。279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6jmb3clqm4
279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡla0ibJVjlP
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。279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMvu8uwx4tR
279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwAlva6pLUq
「……謝謝。」279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQrfeF48569
279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8WnmkUV9M9
「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。279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwJvTnxo6TS
279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2RpADCU4q4
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。279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx9VrWg9Lw6
279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD8UeZLrhds
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。279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ94jSe8Vlxr
279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxkn0ZiG9YD
不過，這無疑都是事實。279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZo6LyBsPyi
279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuFH2fn0Fg2
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。279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡevzDUCOSaB
279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx9AiUu8ELY
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。279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMixiMeeEnf
279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeYRp1vwMj1
「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。279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeyRBcXGrNq
279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDVuAKjthZg
沉默了半晌，紫藤才慢慢地開口。279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡziUlSOeNBo
279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡju5x6yWK1N
「是我媽媽的遺物。」279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0Zc0PSNAjY
279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsM8fLsfvb3
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。279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1TW86yH85u
279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoelD5wrhIH
「咦……？那為什麼會在墨駒的手裡呀？」杜若不假思索地問道。279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtxc8diNecD
279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDxOTQimK4P
「我也不知道。」紫藤搖搖頭，黯然地闔上雙眼。279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgq2546v6lN
279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLPrDOncFBa
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。279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwCF1r8OOes
279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF1fISQ0PJL
「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：279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh4nZeGxJrw
279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnFQGyhYQzS
「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。」279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYjtKh8cK8d
279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7pxAtdgTp0
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。279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwHvgxnj5Gw
279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8mG43vTKNC
「這就是那時候、他們從媽媽的身上搶走的東西之一。」279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ39IwNcATil
279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdxfxjXOzIo
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。279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL6xEHpVzS3
279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu3K3MJeYjn
從那時起，濺在臉上的那朵紅花就已經在紫藤的心頭生根。279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTfOkmX94dj
279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa8jrD6fN06
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。279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrQDTf8DZsu
279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBNvq8HD07x
「原來……這是對紫藤來說這麼重要的東西啊。」279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFfqwYgAZTO
279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZaBUZH7hoR
「嗯。」紫藤在胸前連同戒指握緊了拳頭。279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoOiF13EhRH
279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsaUdfxD8HU
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。279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8GO2mFL7Cq
279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcHRTbrVnRp
自己已經不想要再失去任何東西了。279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVcslE4w3zF
279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXrkVWLNqOx
「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。279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQXKtUZlLV9
279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfQJR7c6LQ7
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。279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUUuVgQDD33
279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwkC7vrjJyG
「媽媽他——」279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYeMGkqm6Jl
279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwSIYZZHlg1
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。279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfQi2P7IPjt
279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpu5ZNVjNVd
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」。279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8Y5qI59RZo
279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFEjPneauLv
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。279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1wv19BGj3F
279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTxI6T30BS3
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。279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5FFdceHdQ8
279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD77QYt91WC
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。279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWGPJE7d0Wj
279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgBe2YHI6qh
但紫藤一點都不喜歡學校。279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVRvaRmy0r5
279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbQgQnf06sN
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。279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwjwxw0bMwP
279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9Ey2BMfyrg
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。279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡytPbiKhDlj
279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNhqTzNOQI7
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。279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCx6wqn6B6h
279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQhnrdSN5nu
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。279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdONWXY0pm5
279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡypSK4U5DSh
嗯，這樣就夠了。那時的紫藤只有這麼單純的滿足。279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEyQJAlo1F9
279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ62WqKyim8i
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。279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf400teYJUx
279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk6gEp1VvRQ
那是一起倒塌事件。279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcl1nk3fV9o
279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjbIDETHdLO
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。279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTrWGIVSNs4
279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZw2hvP4Tst
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。279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJG9IOk1Cw6
279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZNiHwv3o5v
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。279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFPBkJ3X0y1
279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpTTc5KpvVE
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。279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqs3DzGynYc
279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxielP7L5hV
「……我會找到給墨駒這個戒指的人。」279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcTdKMocASF
279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4oxw0X6ysF
收起回憶，紫藤再次握緊了戒指。279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdIOxIcDUm8
279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvYXkDFs5ZQ
「然後，殺了他。」279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeGJJFM9ayH
279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY0Lqxbtsrf
紫藤的眼神猶如熾火，沒有一分一毫的搖曳。279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQONUq88cUp
279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4jwBFXLamm
但只不過幾秒，便很快地萎靡了下來。279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUAdQUQyrO8
279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJGovAU1ljc
「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。」279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLnEADpftZv
279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCqvQ22Hja4
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。279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFdMONSw0kt
279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeVdBuS9jau
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。279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6BAaXINKDy
279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ09xzhF6yZj
「原來、這就是紫藤想要跟我一起行動的原因呀。」279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZFCxpprlnx
279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDxuJz6lWtt
「……嗯。」279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX8JhtiiwoO
279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkWhXAlwhJW
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。279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXqqiczZk4V
279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4MxHiko6Fj
紫藤深信，這就是自己向那些骯髒禽獸復仇的楔子。279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfrW4iGK5MG
279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP70pVuHGO3
這就是足以斬斷自己心頭那朵紅花的白刃。279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVVlsfgs0dd
279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDxfYWbGCBE
「……杜若妳呢？」279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4xKHpRmw9l
279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡij5gk0afKS
紫藤拾起快要滿溢的情感，回望了杜若那如新月般的雙眸。279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPjdCP7bdaP
279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdlt61Owxv6
「又是為什麼……會開始當殺手？」279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmmTkNLnw8Q
279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw5UDXOxiWJ
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。279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJyXwhO8OwG
279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4odLUdNEMR
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。279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZE3pD7zwfM
279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7B1IzMOoUw
「紫藤……不會生氣吧？」279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRuOA5N9yj6
279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQcwUjgvs0u
杜若果然還在意著那時自己的衝動。279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNluhRxhTLS
279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPOgtcorAXR
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。279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaRYvM9dgs3
279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbAIR9EWZTb
「不會。」紫藤堅定地說：「我保證。」279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyGvUZCKpsd
279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSTxapsgbAW
等到紫藤緩緩收起手後，杜若才按著胸口，下定決心地開口。279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfELRonZC22
279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd74HFETznc
「……我想要救陶壺叔。」279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyydtLQ0KJR
279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGX9srKjYpw
杜若喃喃吐出的回答令紫藤感到十分意外。279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH0QIQCqnhp
279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzqIKB2ynJW
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？279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBjWB9g2Tri
279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHlD0rwNZeY
就好像發現了紫藤的疑惑，杜若幽幽地繼續說道：279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuLfMcXm6Dc
279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX8vxaUozl4
「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。」279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡliTHil9MlW
279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHkQ9BGz13T
全身慢慢就會不能動的病？279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOwTNVtrpv4
279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNw5wKzM9xg
這種病紫藤是頭一次聽見。279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOp0sO43aMw
279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrMGzsxshXk
「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。」279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSs3Zou7dxC
279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdY5QYvsf87
「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。279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmfhm0n75I0
279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF9OtYO5BKT
「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。」279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXT5Xn9Ptxb
279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt5XFCbhMLR
杜若的笑只看得見無力。279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ781rc16oL
279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXTTlnEqASA
「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。」279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlHChrA6rfV
279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPnXrE43utV
到這裡，杜若便沒有繼續說下去了。279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0T7YwGCd5g
279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMCJIwySerg
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。279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvOPrXgDBCx
279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9oAb1croGc
然而，紫藤卻忍不住想要質疑的念頭。279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJdr4f1jWEA
279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUYonBstdKX
「那個狐狸、真的就這麼值得相信嗎？」279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEoTI315smh
279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡardVVYMz6X
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。279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ73pzPw3KFl
279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaJvkgpSGH1
「……狐狸一直都對我很好呀。」279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqVQpDjDJlt
279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWJzuWXC1m9
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。279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYGv7Jmsufb
279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZadxMqm1tE
「所以，我還是相信狐狸。」279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbMTykyBgN0
279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnDy0RM00QO
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。279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtSKhcJQ61J
279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvcSszNH7aW
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。279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr35UvQpwEN
279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu7QFmlLxDu
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。279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEfKPKJ5flC
279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRukaa03rSN
哪怕、就算那道光芒是朝自己射出的子彈也一樣。279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSmzNwJWrWQ
279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8GRsKy8Glm
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？279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyuYoh9VhVB

這怎麼可能。279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhKJxRSXWJ0
279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPPB7A5t2NA
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。279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOgHftAxP4w
279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7bkuqgOYHk
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。279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAfCRMbjACJ
279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNdNAHkvOdG
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。279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdpU3zVDpS5
279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIMruf9EZAQ
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。279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSrhEAQAgN4
279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNgWzwUZX0a
察覺到掌心的柔軟，杜若看著紫藤靦腆地一笑。279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHCBRiz8HQc
279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡalcN7Uua14
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279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdeG1VeN6CH
279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3qHa4gL60t
「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。279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7fognxhWF7
279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzAPOV9GyMP
「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！」279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ54nt3km7ji
279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAHUT97gTGS
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。279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGlDBP3OdaQ
279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGISCq6F5Aa
「不過，果然還是不能夠靠沙華會的人呢。」279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5X4oX9t9pt
279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNaY7dK6xJj
經過剛才被反擊的經驗，讓兩人都對這點有了更多的共識。279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4AheLI5lb6
279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHe67L0xpBD
說了句「話說回來」後，杜若就一轉話鋒、向紫藤問道：279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ50u1wmT4pL
279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZAc9qTp6kL
「紫藤想要殺掉的人又是誰呀？紫藤還記得嗎？」279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2OPKhBtHcv
279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTplwluxf1h
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。279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJv3rOrHlHk
279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7CrwDzcXxs
「是一個……在脖子後面紋著白色線條的沙華會紋身的人。」279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqnSKfhn2fj
279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPAo5IKbBwX
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。279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡijTyDqsUT3
279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeq2NMMDs4q
「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。」279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLJjj9bHvnL
279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9iGVFLWLwG
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。279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZrdWvoGmbm
279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNt32czsvAT
「這樣的話，我也來幫忙吧！」杜若自告奮勇地舉高手：279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi2aYKHpuiK
279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkzckHZM7ek
「兩個人一起找絕對比較快的！」279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTqHzfLKfv0
279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYr8TJ3j0Pc
杜若的模樣、讓紫藤晚了一步才發現自己說錯了話。279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxzM6ng2fus
279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2hcdAjf413
紫藤默默地低下頭、沉聲回答。279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡly8eA8Deo2
279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCoefBiFT2h
「……不用那樣。我……我自己就夠了。」279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXmbVVgZj7z
279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxzxfeXzPpu
這冷淡的回答讓杜若頓時像被潑了水的貓咪似地一愣。279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSvPfqLC4cI
279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBck925PHPi
「可是、紫藤不是說到現在都……」279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ80ITpXi01E
279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8D9HAr1x27
「這本來就是我自己的事。」279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ1HLDKykKM
279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOlGrulULwn
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。279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8wfbOs7BgU
279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡijEaAHZFCj
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。279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf8INVQsLps
279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxdDXjk0BDP
「那要是紫藤遇到危險怎麼辦！」倏地，杜若站起身、提高音量279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYPbD9wBeMe
279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJyb3JOEnve
「我就是為了保護自己，才會去學習要怎麼搏鬥。」279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFUYqP9d6he
279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5IYJ8rrhvv
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。279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMibO1d2FJO
279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSIODgxKPNa
「可是、假如對方有槍、假如遇到像今天一樣的事……」279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUKGfj0Loym
279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHLQjLyWD5X
「我是不會讓自己被殺死的。」279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg1t9KbNiUl
279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrz6DsuqM3U
「紫藤明明就傷成這樣、還說這種話……！」279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoJrylGEqzR
279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjEHHc8hwdL
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。279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6JfaiXnWST
279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPRrOKFAJTt
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。279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpiEv569m1N
279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ78mav1C2Jf
杜若雖然想甩開，但卻在一半就失去了力氣。279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTAZ4zGkBMn
279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNKuwgiZIMv
「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……」279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡavPPFQjOu0
279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5HW8rMVMR5
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。279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRdOwQvEy7T
279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfW8ZPLCZSq
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？279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTEqx3VvH3a
279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRzAzs7h1cf
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。279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp9A9lX9lth
279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡudpL1gCGhO
最後，紫藤還是用了奸詐的說法。279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAR3pXcgVAC
279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXZXmKMoul9
「我跟陶壺叔約定過，說不會讓妳受傷了。」279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOTBgIVuJXM
279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGeWjgx9O8D
「那難道紫藤要我看著妳受傷嗎？」279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkuRsT7E915
279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6SzwVIaszs
雖然夾雜著鼻音、但這句話卻如此強而有力。279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCDiq9Tpa1I
279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoipF9mo8jR
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。279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYz4UtTvtDC
279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDMMyrTpATz
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。279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv7NErTE0VR
279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIXxqhp9lvA
而紫藤打算再在杜若的身上再添一層相同的痛苦嗎？279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKhpYiy3MyJ
279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDyPK92nG4R
紫藤無法回答，只是沉默地別開了視線。279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkvcTgWuwqj
279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxocKXbqGS5
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？279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhS1QDuqrXM
279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgBBgPn50nW
哪條路都是崎嶇，哪條路也都是痛苦。279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1632p24bWZ
279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwvUonHOqfo
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？279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ15dcNS0VWj
279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYTbnn9xdB1
只因為就連接受也是痛苦吧。279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTMdyUIvJks
279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMvjQoup0bu
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？279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg3MPngvRT0
279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCPQS3X6wVt
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。279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3u9vj1VfeU
279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBw9oloZZ1e
思及至此，紫藤才慢慢地放鬆了手中的力道。279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4RGd5gA00z
279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmGUyuO6H4c
「答應我、要先保護好妳自己。」279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ21XaHxZq0m
279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6s2E7aPGj1
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。279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfVuv5xJTh6
279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZSbA9xG5Xj
「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。279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOAdAhcpKVg
279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS0x4asmFCb
「所以，我的份就用來保護紫藤吧！」279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9Qj4SP4V00
279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxJcNOXCie0
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。279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCnuEepRJ1E
279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdmzItfmbeq
「喔喔！紫藤笑了耶！」279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQF5m6uiVQ1
279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzCsD8eTBhE
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。279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNuuag7P8K5
279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMAgdtpzzAY
「哇啊啊——！對不起！」杜若立刻慌張地放下手來。279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1LpjqnjlHa
279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDFHMPeNJto
疼痛雖然還沒散去，但紫藤還是發自內心地笑了。279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVNBhfTwIqP
279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdJBHEDp342
「……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？」279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvhZKpNZYc6
279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2rx1lf53ZC
「咦？」這提議讓紫藤也感到意外地眨了眨眼。279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgWqhaf7b40
279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlaaYscGMpz
「雖然是我自己猜的……不過狐狸應該很擅長找人吧。」279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlPHQRXoHp1
279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGcgaUGCNbQ
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。279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJq0RvXIeZf
279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBJVnITZWPi
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。279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaHujKn5oWp
279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTdlaMqtAMH
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。279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡooPu19Uo24
279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNzFFC7fflj
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？279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpNMP715lXm
279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3je1iubE4j
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？279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKBmClVcfOo
279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNE7wbBcpgB
「那……可以幫我跟狐狸說說看嗎？」279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8DBKi0r49C
279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTcgrhJCzLW
「當然呀，這是我提議的嘛～」杜若自信地抱起手臂、挺起胸膛。279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzqKa64LUGH
279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoRat0318UM
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。279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiYth9F4aVU
279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqNtkWrwqIX
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。279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJSmLCUekjE
279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbG0iHzRNAp
「妳的傷……換我幫妳吧。」279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4eBEqfp0Wz
279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGvlP7NwHRz
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。279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9AHVjBBYIk
279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJWQSDCct4e
「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。279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJDQuVONZZ1
279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡio92gyVNiw
「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。279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2F1IKnbdGO
279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMkpC7dA1Q8
「撕得開來嗎？」杜若看著紫藤有些僵硬的動作，有所顧慮地問。279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN8PxfdlCzr
279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡezoLi9RnIj
「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。279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs1r4Taphnr
279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2Y6VMJPTuo
「……好了。換膝蓋吧。」279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPRNBw2rlMl
279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFVXtZCHe9k
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。279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1k9KiLCv4I
279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuskTVYWlZE
「我臉上有什麼嗎？」紫藤不解地偏過頭。279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUq3iQaktHL
279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYTI5vebAte
「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：279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1exOYX3J2V
279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPtAlOWxGXS
「只是覺得紫藤認真的模樣……果然好帥喔。」279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhWSv5BNQIx
279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc7yIJMuJUZ
突如其來的稱讚，令紫藤頓時耳根一熱。279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzIqZzDj5FS
279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnDWlLTN6cX
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？279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ46RhoR3TTo
279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5GwBpl6zoG
「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：279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2uXU3z5I66
279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaOW4SippsG
「謝謝……」279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVzXbEvubqD
279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnm87BqBbGb
「嗯？」279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtB01N3DnTw
279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTDHnWfVE0x
「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……！」279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDizxNeRjnT
279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnQHPrCkVmt
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。279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlSBaKRRl0K
279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhhprtA6OXA
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。279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1Bh2duP7XJ
279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnDRdYMrlfL
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。279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjPNf6pQNP7
279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcGZw2WYpV8
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。279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo0VuwcaC05
279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO6nUagl5No
「稍微……稍微彎起來一點。」279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0kq43aP7SB
279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡstFJIqOCHR
「這樣？」279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhfPULF0X5W
279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9oEouHwz1O
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。279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgn5fQblq4d
279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3ExGv57BCL
「……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。279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcrcu7OZXHB
279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoASOTlYcqD
於是紫藤收起醫療用品，起身將箱子放回原位。279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgCi47EhtZd
279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsS5053QRYN
「對了，剛才紫藤提到的事件……」279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ6pojXiR3y
279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI9oSKZVdcZ
就在要踏出房門的時候，杜若忽然想到了什麼似地開了口。279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMEnAAyNPm8
279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtwF2XjwuZC
「事件、是倒塌事件嗎？」279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsu8FyGUloH
279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9V1hM9wbCT
「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。279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIkbwpKZVk6
279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLWdtqX0LqJ
「怎麼了嗎？」看見杜若的模樣，令紫藤擔心地走了回去。279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW5WqkY5CUc
279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEVCAPIYQmN
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。279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡauoHNsw5UW
279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8ZFseHr4gS
「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！」279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUg6lNXeLIg
279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1sPFu4ZXlm
紫藤雖然感到疑惑，卻還是沒有多問地走出了房間。279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0Vb9z3E6Jk
279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3Pizk9dUPR
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。279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMlk1B4dyEg
279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsIvqVoPlYm
「我們……好像弄錯順序了耶。」279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwZOBsrGk1Z
279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAsTlyYVWId
「……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。279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7liDxdEToW
279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLBPjPHd9x0
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。279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhPVWM0Zl1Y
279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXXHEKRqEF5
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。279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1pNGCHCgNs
279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3mJWOjVfSr
「紫藤需要我幫忙嗎？」279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDuB8L5J5BG
279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsU4ZfSobyg
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。279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQYJb8UOued
279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWH727il033
「我、我自己來就可以了……」279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0HWmtm3Z0S
279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvKWnLpBrI4
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。279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnNtN2yKsa1
279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxEDJy0pLvL
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。279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvJpANyEjZg
279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiirAxkXbpY
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。279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQqp3x4DFXo
279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA9kmORh0Eb
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。279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzUrQDOoycl
279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv5MT0TwyJx
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。279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsDvxdBDwo4

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？279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNtyRItub6t
279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM5aS4J5g2m
「……紫藤。」279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYIGZwbkfYY
279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2t8NRAGnpy
「怎麼了？」279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6sr7TDynSq
279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKnFW2uxmSx
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。279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAmk2AAp0n9
279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLMcx5ualPu
「紫藤說、會一直在我身邊……我可以相信紫藤吧？」279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsyrbvw1iSN
279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8jgn2FespR
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。279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRGQOtrU01E
279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGNNEeLj4Nn
紫藤伸出手輕蓋在了杜若的後腦，卻沒有辦法就這麼點頭。279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7e2QdvEZiX
279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAZGt1fT1A7
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？279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1DNryVriRD
279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5o8xroMiY1
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。279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOWpCUO6UYz
279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYCveU20PxL
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。279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡesZGdUL0RP
279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwb4ZSvtM52
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？279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9DPX6gNyy8
279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡihMnluka8i
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。279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmEu6sXPitM
279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD9J8o1nOxw
不過紫藤現在就在這裡。279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJdkX9fvctW
279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt7R4aVJ1rU
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。279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQQQDTUUNH1
279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlLPi5FsRwg
於是、紫藤探出指頭，用指腹輕貼上了杜若的臉頰。279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTG7HyA43Ai
279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvd19vnSHI3
「……我會試著做到的。」279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQEvwEO0NKm
279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOLcMYUag52
「什麼嘛……」聽見這不乾脆的回答，杜若便沒輒地笑了。279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8B2z2hiCDb
279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7f1UrbzvpC
「不過……我相信紫藤喔。」279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYV2uli0DPd
279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0YaxnxMa0m
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。279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFQCloEDXlH
279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡler95Gfc6f
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。279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtTprocXsja
279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpsGqNHw8gT
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。279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3whfOoawkF
279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡadqMizgR72
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。279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEubYnGDYU0
279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO5t3hFFQoy
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。279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4SD3S1iaUA
