迴響的隆隆聲如同夢境般遠去。305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg9FrIQz7cI
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJyXi68agit
從開出的小縫裡，一道狹窄的光切開了無邊無際的黑暗。305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtRtiVYqpYp
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSjzXopZoXh
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。305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYld4v0OLIQ
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVbQQ9w3Ii5
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。305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9eQj9sm2aQ
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSLGSQxg4qU
連沙華會都靜謐下來，就代表連凌晨也快要結束了吧。305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX8XWMD8pMb
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnVuDNoyzGq
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。305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡepFld3EEUq
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJqvQHw0aP6
「走吧。我們一起回去。」305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTwn0gAMzBH
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDiQt5hWKo2
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。305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡahkjyHtm6C
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzdAhAvOvmN
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。305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFVG1t6jrds
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡclAX5h9523
為了處理傷口，杜若讓紫藤靠到了床板上頭。305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFDCsLjIXuB
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEeNbGsXbsz
「嗚……！」305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCuJSreiqR9
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKD4qXuFyc2
消毒藥水碰到傷口的劇痛，讓紫藤吃痛地叫出悶聲。305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqfkVCkbAs6
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1jDH5KrJ3N
「很痛嗎……？」杜若停下動作，擔憂地看向紫藤。305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcH4g7naxyN
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0LEz7BG1xZ
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。305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaPnF0vumwh
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfRAs9NtZwd
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。305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvcrHpvtx9m
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWIYSLI6nz8
「……我還可以忍。」說完，紫藤打直手臂。305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtiapXelg5D
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKKj4c8zEPv
杜若點點頭，卻宛如做錯了事一般地垂下眼簾。305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiH5wEFjmAU
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqifJSzJIlC
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。305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOfbLn92m7u
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT7v5KejQxR
「那、再忍耐一下就好。」305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx3dj0EXGt5
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV7rfHXb1qD
「呼、呼……嗚——！」305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHZLcsHuBnH
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR3od9hZWyO
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。305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡixE7iLkqMV
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxX90LXOskc
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。305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhg8gTDEwbj
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUrD9uH025O
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。305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFZmW4rC0x4
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGBOuuZlsol
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。305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSW6tJpnRLt
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJp4TNJ1HlW
「還要喝嗎？」杜若捧著還有一半的水杯，輕柔地問。305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQFBiM9q8fi
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIC2aq2REfQ
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。305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyaE8CkFcCw
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjTSFUKrAd2
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。305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8NevjNGEOi
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2ZRHNWCdgt
「……謝謝。」305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCrblwz2YyS
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMV1qJZI2yd
「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。305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlTbWsJuhdA
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHzpTf620fA
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。305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPgUxGGqmRV
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKlmiGBhEaS
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。305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhqudbG6ik9
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDIQskKnKrw
不過，這無疑都是事實。305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIVWjjPRVsK
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK4bNu1eWri
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。305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡetKGE6Ci9o
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJs2LEyUTuq
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。305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgDJjevuiWb
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpmNLmcd23d
「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。305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ5SKy3pC8S
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡueBruHAnZR
沉默了半晌，紫藤才慢慢地開口。305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSQfPKS5jJf
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEJwJzTVazz
「是我媽媽的遺物。」305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPyTH4cmKTo
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUoDbYs6SkM
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。305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCDSPaqioHl
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhD5eQ9Av7W
「咦……？那為什麼會在墨駒的手裡呀？」杜若不假思索地問道。305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLJVD400Sp3
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdJeAAxTzTg
「我也不知道。」紫藤搖搖頭，黯然地闔上雙眼。305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSs048svrT0
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ61qZPu4L7a
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。305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfvJCJU0aSW
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpiRFus2S5x
「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：305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYcdnsiuzbm
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡifDDNHQbvN
「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。」305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgBu9S5BKFs
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡin4mBxQ7gT
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。305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0r8HrxTGWb
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBEyQC55RQc
「這就是那時候、他們從媽媽的身上搶走的東西之一。」305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa3s7U2vKBs
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6uhISR6XBY
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。305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3321EBiaW4
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ04ftzqHiI9
從那時起，濺在臉上的那朵紅花就已經在紫藤的心頭生根。305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEnikJmFvuL
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXmR4hW5mmp
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。305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ97cSOQcezc
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQknvQ2UJFN
「原來……這是對紫藤來說這麼重要的東西啊。」305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnh49STUl6S
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkxoa9R9D0c
「嗯。」紫藤在胸前連同戒指握緊了拳頭。305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJN1LkuVEYM
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhzABs11A0G
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。305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡggFzLTFoen
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjiNaIa2eiM
自己已經不想要再失去任何東西了。305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw1ET6hcALm
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKgvivikAB3
「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。305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYLinY5pIm8
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMt43kLjNXa
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。305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFsa7Ty78bK
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJWX2oVZ0Sz
「媽媽他——」305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXgoFOniECt
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlF46VnjFmm
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。305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuTS1QvJdY5
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0FqaIJPCDv
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」。305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8wrHzcbj7K
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYNuuBYA4uy
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。305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7fbP4xcD8g
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8Y8ggwaDla
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。305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvMugJAE2rR
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfBJWVOaphB
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。305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4I6XgUONKs
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5p2miXBdjw
但紫藤一點都不喜歡學校。305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtb816ayimw
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNJxazIMLlk
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。305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwfu9UkgnyA
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ29AszQ0P3X
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。305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0uHbcrLfkq
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ28tLe2PQKQ
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。305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWwAdEa9Nm5
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqrpTEhftfU
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。305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEeNnonNXFs
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHm7CYPIuXV
嗯，這樣就夠了。那時的紫藤只有這麼單純的滿足。305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEO8rlpQBIU
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpySPb989CL
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。305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp0kCC4qmDS
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtIr2hTCAD0
那是一起倒塌事件。305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaF2PRN5rXB
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnapOHt4vCK
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。305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaK7SH6mflq
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmRkxM3gukl
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。305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOx3sWAIfqP
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyOr5Hd00c9
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。305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0bIGwBHug6
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDBtoGF2n3j
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。305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5EOJE3UuZl
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6RJom8mjFZ
「……我會找到給墨駒這個戒指的人。」305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIHvEEmQgPU
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNBE5udPVAX
收起回憶，紫藤再次握緊了戒指。305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKSE2FCOR7y
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs74KGxDcBd
「然後，殺了他。」305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ34mlh41I7R
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfchrHqZoT8
紫藤的眼神猶如熾火，沒有一分一毫的搖曳。305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc13TRIoGWv
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSeVdW6mlMI
但只不過幾秒，便很快地萎靡了下來。305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5Mmib7cAlE
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0mxL4PQuXa
「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。」305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3PUmlpTQKL
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxERe4QLKAv
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。305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡue2C3bzYRH
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyNhFQC7joH
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。305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0WBtqiAY40
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoeh4vvXnDQ
「原來、這就是紫藤想要跟我一起行動的原因呀。」305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTHGQLvNjYs
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuQIZzQAwT7
「……嗯。」305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQqyEYzr0XA
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwz6mIM1N2M
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。305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi7BpHm1tpg
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVPk0ylqQuk
紫藤深信，這就是自己向那些骯髒禽獸復仇的楔子。305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn5yhsW7U4b
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnZ9dILjytf
這就是足以斬斷自己心頭那朵紅花的白刃。305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLyIj564w4R
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ73SDifi442
「……杜若妳呢？」305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwE5atK2MU9
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRRntUFXQZB
紫藤拾起快要滿溢的情感，回望了杜若那如新月般的雙眸。305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡamzVrN6vce
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXfVydxYOjc
「又是為什麼……會開始當殺手？」305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKWgCWi7bP1
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyWcjX2kxBR
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。305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn6KfOkYWmm
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvXMiV8ufpz
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。305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0r86VWhFA9
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhDsTRYr7Xd
「紫藤……不會生氣吧？」305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfa5H01KfWF
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbTBDoise9Z
杜若果然還在意著那時自己的衝動。305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJBt0kvVtM4
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGW02dNXJ3e
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。305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdzhE6LQ7Nf
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI4VVGKS5uY
「不會。」紫藤堅定地說：「我保證。」305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBSn628EJoE
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHpNzfrCMVc
等到紫藤緩緩收起手後，杜若才按著胸口，下定決心地開口。305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8YhICS318i
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIA5iNLmWHA
「……我想要救陶壺叔。」305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7UM5SJjkIY
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa5wqVbD5x8
杜若喃喃吐出的回答令紫藤感到十分意外。305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkviOgFfDWw
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡleYy2CLQEx
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？305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjyDBliO77g
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ18zHlvggox
就好像發現了紫藤的疑惑，杜若幽幽地繼續說道：305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ06ugR35yk1
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7SxwEgTRdn
「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。」305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyB93ec0WAh
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYC9hxPvu88
全身慢慢就會不能動的病？305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUjXNrhOwS5
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0mBcs2oBTg
這種病紫藤是頭一次聽見。305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHi8KH7yW1A
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTDjAcMBE4w
「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。」305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmUemnC0tZx
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmtEbS0Gl3y
「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。305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQWixVPNOtF
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOatCeWoUVa
「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。」305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYTmoCgclYm
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡabQi9Z8R9x
杜若的笑只看得見無力。305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlB7afY0BOZ
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvYjb945peF
「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。」305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb0JmMEPxkS
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7RUug1Mtdy
到這裡，杜若便沒有繼續說下去了。305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLffHm1trrg
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX2ALHwgIQF
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。305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgKjW6pN0Xn
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2V5ohLIyRj
然而，紫藤卻忍不住想要質疑的念頭。305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxgW9Mw5bBO
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFqtFUWFMeh
「那個狐狸、真的就這麼值得相信嗎？」305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPetQOZCzqU
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbSv7QGKQBp
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。305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWtio8omQXH
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvEaGSfWAeJ
「……狐狸一直都對我很好呀。」305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUJhqYhNq6B
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHgO6u3Sphc
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。305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaJHNUC3RX1
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeag9xDFp9F
「所以，我還是相信狐狸。」305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpxOVPzbLun
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdtYKxzAVhe
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。305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡphPQN08hGB
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5AjpeQmjOb
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。305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDklEznMLr5
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXQ84JEHnSr
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。305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmgS1S3NXhn
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ7EVtXPZGy
哪怕、就算那道光芒是朝自己射出的子彈也一樣。305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1MDF4Gd0wk
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkkDfYYWupH
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？305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGmrQPVMfn4
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOaKOKxy7jg
這怎麼可能。305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqEEhMNYbJ6
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNZLYslgX71
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。305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdUWbfZs7E1
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb8o9fMEIxS
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。305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeL6xcMqvjz
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOTI3E8J041
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。305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI1B5NW7IST
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡveLLMaKYNu
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。305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCTbDq2VB8U
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDLj9gO78cR
察覺到掌心的柔軟，杜若看著紫藤靦腆地一笑。305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzQIls1PNEU
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYBbXxPsoEn
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305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSXyHbg89GS
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIas0B99EB7
「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。305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9W5yTHj4lc
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWMqBbCmxke
「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！」305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB3KEItUNbH
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8EBvrhJiVQ
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。305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoiOKKrB5kd
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbPv713Aj3N
「不過，果然還是不能夠靠沙華會的人呢。」305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlQPoDzm59W
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS1g9GZXwM0
經過剛才被反擊的經驗，讓兩人都對這點有了更多的共識。305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkk0OKt0BQ1
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBt8gHTcFKT
說了句「話說回來」後，杜若就一轉話鋒、向紫藤問道：305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0Yiczx1zxJ
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo4QubXFMoG
「紫藤想要殺掉的人又是誰呀？紫藤還記得嗎？」305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuOlSP7XAgH
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5AEHt1moKO
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。305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrfnH4DBicR
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ17CR1LI0x
「是一個……在脖子後面紋著白色線條的沙華會紋身的人。」305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXVj7SNQikm
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpAhbNmVacU
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。305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzj8ZRFtMp0
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ27PntJ8Bk9
「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。」305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiPHqlS0oEg
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuDBlDrvzrd
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。305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE2XMpYrZY7
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLG2XgxDyvQ
「這樣的話，我也來幫忙吧！」杜若自告奮勇地舉高手：305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpwp1uvutKk
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpWSa44Q1nz
「兩個人一起找絕對比較快的！」305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtNdOLgf34z
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHIskoYdTJi
杜若的模樣、讓紫藤晚了一步才發現自己說錯了話。305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIx2e6gCvyn
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdvoJxYl3AS
紫藤默默地低下頭、沉聲回答。305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP0ZfbzaaFA
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLDuVMy1rzC
「……不用那樣。我……我自己就夠了。」305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDD08T2ucNO
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsuzAYzMbmM
這冷淡的回答讓杜若頓時像被潑了水的貓咪似地一愣。305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ84z66Gnf7Z
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv8dgvLnFcb
「可是、紫藤不是說到現在都……」305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0RPv8Qi1fk
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWCMbfsfxPC
「這本來就是我自己的事。」305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfPe5etcI8J
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ475ejiSVh7
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。305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSzHTI7mtBC
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr65zm3tT2x
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。305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRS8HCHcWUC
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ54vXuvi1H4
「那要是紫藤遇到危險怎麼辦！」倏地，杜若站起身、提高音量305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDHwuEpXgIj
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3zdyA5zguv
「我就是為了保護自己，才會去學習要怎麼搏鬥。」305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBvo4xUpDLQ
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi90EE88IP7
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。305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdT2A3beV0o
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ00MS0JZv1D
「可是、假如對方有槍、假如遇到像今天一樣的事……」305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ68jOfEYLe7
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlwrc05ENcE
「我是不會讓自己被殺死的。」305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD5pptMQFDx
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTotnqHL68R
「紫藤明明就傷成這樣、還說這種話……！」305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwtNDhvvnKI
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdYAMsCvkJV
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。305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDo4zYJgXN5
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr5jAznM1Xk
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。305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5X6XjF1cNr
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFqRa9jMMvY
杜若雖然想甩開，但卻在一半就失去了力氣。305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzZJDErKu9T
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1eeLDVxOMs
「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……」305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡia6vpEeeHg
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrG8pCbTZWs
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。305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSurCiDU9ZY
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBCl6aDnoOI
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？305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsh5yj76hFE
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4UAzVr0nkW
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。305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWQJEOr7YgM
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡodSZZSJup1
最後，紫藤還是用了奸詐的說法。305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNM5zpcQvFM
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2tNOcAr3xa
「我跟陶壺叔約定過，說不會讓妳受傷了。」305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtTksBE75Is
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTYxoDOt7WN
「那難道紫藤要我看著妳受傷嗎？」305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS0HDot2Yjs
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ75REC7kibR
雖然夾雜著鼻音、但這句話卻如此強而有力。305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVxfJ0vE60R
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfyMci3f8tX
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。305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3Ac3YCYGvn
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVg0UBELlKv
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。305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8BkSIj54xs
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2BYhzLPfsx
而紫藤打算再在杜若的身上再添一層相同的痛苦嗎？305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuOKZlA4XJb
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa0VIT8XCAB
紫藤無法回答，只是沉默地別開了視線。305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy0TwSMaUD5
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfgFFML0CCE
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？305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9qHWjO4JQg
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJKoJUfnZ03
哪條路都是崎嶇，哪條路也都是痛苦。305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzBMfJAuzPi
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPe8Mp9tJtB
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？305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpyJFpciXO7
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQcM4fuTh5H
只因為就連接受也是痛苦吧。305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ55DUTiQ4am
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjHI3H3KJNl
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？305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpz9qaKJrnf
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGJewNNTkYh
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。305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEf6ZpcdqFt
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvKJIfPe85I
思及至此，紫藤才慢慢地放鬆了手中的力道。305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrjtuzOI3ev
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQYomKMRNXk
「答應我、要先保護好妳自己。」305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ44ajD4eyw1
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoqxY7jnqiP
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。305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV74YwlGNyk
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjBluxGHfNz
「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。305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJo49nEtBwY
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQujRbkSK3y
「所以，我的份就用來保護紫藤吧！」305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ555LTJ91Q9
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwoHPhv3yJ8
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。305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV2lvQAP2fP
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjPKjavNnnu
「喔喔！紫藤笑了耶！」305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0ocm7Gawvu
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgpSMWAymjD
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。305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTZHVVNfDh7
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPw3c9twBVt
「哇啊啊——！對不起！」杜若立刻慌張地放下手來。305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ78T5ITnPmk
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkjpFHVMWjW
疼痛雖然還沒散去，但紫藤還是發自內心地笑了。305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOcJBGvFDUN
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgJajE4Mkvt
「……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？」305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzf1bmvtANZ
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0Szel64Gaz
「咦？」這提議讓紫藤也感到意外地眨了眨眼。305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTK0hWk0n6O
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOzTOQUfD6a
「雖然是我自己猜的……不過狐狸應該很擅長找人吧。」305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwu0K4vwI5e
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYNMX4c3G0B
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。305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr4V48KhG4m
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQJvhbaFBED
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。305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhFIbAAMGcN
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGF2h7x8wtY
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。305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOQc55VAYvE
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq8doCj9mWw
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？305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgfyC5kXhta
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHU2tPhIuXo
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？305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsWvUa9wtm6
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEuJmv1vYAV
「那……可以幫我跟狐狸說說看嗎？」305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsrFp0sKtKJ
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlOsoHmnHpI
「當然呀，這是我提議的嘛～」杜若自信地抱起手臂、挺起胸膛。305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSsfe0l6cEX
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYao21YiN8S
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。305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbDplPsMn0E
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLB3KxwPUcq
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。305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡknYGKPlBkC
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2mwbrOnQ69
「妳的傷……換我幫妳吧。」305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUQX6DqGaMw
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡja4xPS2oI2
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。305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdgjbF6BPxZ
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSwecQ06e8p
「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。305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMPIRkRpzCz
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1X4RMsdbWH
「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。305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9EUW1qBUD6
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtoVvBT8PYQ
「撕得開來嗎？」杜若看著紫藤有些僵硬的動作，有所顧慮地問。305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLmLXBtr9bn
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ59Nau2cLIK
「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。305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzUMsdDPtRH
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKFFV6PeYot
「……好了。換膝蓋吧。」305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz0oChlSXpI
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4hKDx8wYrZ
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。305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz598W0yaAR
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV8IaTkefGI
「我臉上有什麼嗎？」紫藤不解地偏過頭。305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzhDKZcX2Bp
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJDjQllkq9C
「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：305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoB6MG5kfz6
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9zhtU0xiSo
「只是覺得紫藤認真的模樣……果然好帥喔。」305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjhXALI4tHb
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxRIomGumjr
突如其來的稱讚，令紫藤頓時耳根一熱。305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKwkaw8TlAt
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQDugJ3x4b2
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？305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVWPyEtl2Ge
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKEhU6mwKJ7
「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：305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnKZOPHQdp5
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVSGtJwTvXk
「謝謝……」305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7YaYfDyD6W
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8Z1071madV
「嗯？」305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsaM5A3neGw
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhu2dyDTMp6
「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……！」305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrjMinb4kNo
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs6glcXH2Wt
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。305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ02dw27f0ID
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKKX313q8zQ
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。305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH7esWlV2Vc
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkoCU1aiyk5
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。305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡruzbBtSulz
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPln0pSBgDI
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。305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL2OZ2ru0Um
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHSylWBqrjx
「稍微……稍微彎起來一點。」305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBdNQiNAD7z
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjQoBxacIbn
「這樣？」305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpfXiEm1d7N
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxKG2DiwExE
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。305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjet5yzrMv7
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ8JoGhdfzk
「……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。305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTpUgj0ZTil
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr2MsuSlCGe
於是紫藤收起醫療用品，起身將箱子放回原位。305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6yikjTUR3T
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDJaOwdjXa0
「對了，剛才紫藤提到的事件……」305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfThhCN64K8
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhcYlbzfdGZ
就在要踏出房門的時候，杜若忽然想到了什麼似地開了口。305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4bVA2LVvOV
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNiNcMxZpNA
「事件、是倒塌事件嗎？」305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRkAh8eNtCb
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0KPSlVh0Ta
「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。305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6EOw2JyqNK
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ93trb4jsKe
「怎麼了嗎？」看見杜若的模樣，令紫藤擔心地走了回去。305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIf4mPlY1In
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3K20JOpknz
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。305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsfqOF96oHm
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC03w7woLQY
「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！」305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCFScequxSf
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ31cs5yVFMM
紫藤雖然感到疑惑，卻還是沒有多問地走出了房間。305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡptwvuSY4hw
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1ukaNaw7kP
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。305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ36tUxor3Xd
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE5mjBHbBsE
「我們……好像弄錯順序了耶。」305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWgqlDmh8NI
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqOb8HdkKrj
「……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。305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7gqyeuy4Yd
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyemqEXsH7b
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。305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡExpZP6Ey7X
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHIna9Z9KcS
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。305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI7TK1UHSpO
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrFqfm6wpqE
「紫藤需要我幫忙嗎？」305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFR6gjNZAUh
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ0umUWTicc
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。305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU72dHlTA7G
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOzcJRs7lzy
「我、我自己來就可以了……」305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡraPJmZUMgx
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKJW0jUrcxC
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。305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ49eaiasAB2
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkpoN9h1ljP
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。305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡixIWQhhtlY
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAmSUOl3q1D
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。305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEyoBX8z24y
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAgqTg1ZvXc
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。305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNOVmCjjNB9
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrIt3i4Nxkk
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。305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBsaXrwZoxq
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaqsmzzzRu7
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？305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVyvPeJ5EHC
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpxRDGtD7HW
「……紫藤。」305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP5QumtoLQj
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDsCH1ZdAP8
「怎麼了？」305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbpHukmXCle
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcMFgz8AjAA
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。305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh0hfG9PG2A
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7XxovqkXTv
「紫藤說、會一直在我身邊……我可以相信紫藤吧？」305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWlJ0aBt5dl
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ06hU5FpFrz
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。305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtD12TBaura
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZmlOPsugus
紫藤伸出手輕蓋在了杜若的後腦，卻沒有辦法就這麼點頭。305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwz5aqpGnoZ
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEo8CiDdSvy
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？305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzLDI5wW5b7
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYKsdatmhxC
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。305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGdfMwjH9Rm
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzJNQivSbyw
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。305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡemBAy1f6mV
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyGdLmtVuPh
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？305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmE44C9VsHM
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZgOg3lLY8c
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。305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhXt5apfdoJ
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWEQHIEU3f2
不過紫藤現在就在這裡。305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡexG42nC1FE
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGFRbT7wtU7
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。305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN0e9NKv7H6
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtgD1S4TXGp
於是、紫藤探出指頭，用指腹輕貼上了杜若的臉頰。305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOtlsbb9H1y
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡygsNyvIFd1
「……我會試著做到的。」305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPK8MQQBNux
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbekbDQPJfs
「什麼嘛……」聽見這不乾脆的回答，杜若便沒輒地笑了。305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl0Awha6ZLE
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrooEJXlBJ5
「不過……我相信紫藤喔。」305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcMBGSAkSEe
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp0Zn8HfGSo
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。305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOLTnYal4RL
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡczSWxCdXsA
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。305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmlAen5rYwu
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNZJfqOdGXn
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。305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL4qTIzoqAL
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIRuxD1ZuQe
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。305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzqYIowHIMA
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6TcOwHOjhn
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。305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyyRTfkpwmz
