迴響的隆隆聲如同夢境般遠去。293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNgFnp5C0VV
293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7opHaoUqvb
從開出的小縫裡，一道狹窄的光切開了無邊無際的黑暗。293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsRmYdDXmei
293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuqLJv1X0Qg
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。293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjuEDSbbdpO
293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFftSXgZ8LT
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。293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡegshl8zT9s
293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuQzXNzdhBP
連沙華會都靜謐下來，就代表連凌晨也快要結束了吧。293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAISYNAQfJJ
293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtbCQICz9cV
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。293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXqljm4bVLE
293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhpsHy9vo2X
「走吧。我們一起回去。」293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCqj8K7EazS
293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2Tguw5SA3v
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。293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNawEuEUQvR
293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPoov6tciCZ
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。293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhLyKfJGZa3
293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcyatBrqntF
為了處理傷口，杜若讓紫藤靠到了床板上頭。293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSe1cfO3Qnn
293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbMzza2K3V0
「嗚……！」293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIXryPXFnIr
293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdIzuKOFUe7
消毒藥水碰到傷口的劇痛，讓紫藤吃痛地叫出悶聲。293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVBsBaBepMX
293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmJKSIixkkP
「很痛嗎……？」杜若停下動作，擔憂地看向紫藤。293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCkUzanBkqS
293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6P2Vv3pbQE
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。293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXalqBZE3q2
293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE1d2p2qV4M
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。293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj9qzNWFZAT
293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe9GDespD0c
「……我還可以忍。」說完，紫藤打直手臂。293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5rIt9bNStz
293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAShJgj7nza
杜若點點頭，卻宛如做錯了事一般地垂下眼簾。293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdwpdCCkN5G
293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ668Lhy6IID
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。293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqHIScdshGP
293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2nYf8aYaxX
「那、再忍耐一下就好。」293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3XzjHouojM
293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLfVk5ISGHd
「呼、呼……嗚——！」293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRumYK3WATV
293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoRKAaPiIbq
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。293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8ZMQQdoOq2
293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMw2s01sZ2g
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。293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBCRiG1Vsyd
293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmm55XJBROG
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。293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRs1UlNNCeC
293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNuzPD6Niyj
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。293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMW0tZGK5X9
293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9nDoF47qc0
「還要喝嗎？」杜若捧著還有一半的水杯，輕柔地問。293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTxXMfc3IFZ
293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf51ib4cKnV
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。293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlyK6wmr7Bc
293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMaXMholIWb
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。293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEdyC0rTZiX
293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd0522OAhxm
「……謝謝。」293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrt4E84eQqV
293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaqegDAPWmA
「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。293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjdedAG9Juo
293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyszSThhIkk
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。293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsZ2LC9jHCD
293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8gMm8CSAkk
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。293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfhGb63ynC6
293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ12wqwbZe0o
不過，這無疑都是事實。293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtP7X2jC6mJ
293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGHNU4L9pQl
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。293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX1fR6sqUcG
293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7ijnxocRwC
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。293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ55aw13qVDk
293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgKtfzhEEQy
「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。293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRdwws7I4UX
293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg01Le2XQtv
沉默了半晌，紫藤才慢慢地開口。293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsIN13lPVMC
293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaZJg17xwJT
「是我媽媽的遺物。」293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtyQiwLsISm
293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1II10xGdzS
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。293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRle7RxlO5r
293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuSgXfNxud6
「咦……？那為什麼會在墨駒的手裡呀？」杜若不假思索地問道。293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9g5O4rxp9Z
293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRRU9C18WvS
「我也不知道。」紫藤搖搖頭，黯然地闔上雙眼。293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY0Eco2bH4x
293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8lNnqko4EY
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。293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXezXHkslAW
293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ1XirfFMhd
「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：293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡibX6Ltokxp
293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQckFfd2eQn
「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。」293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlR5BddFxcQ
293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC1c5DCw5kL
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。293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs1lT8BeEID
293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6qJqQxc4qP
「這就是那時候、他們從媽媽的身上搶走的東西之一。」293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZXltJ2Z4j6
293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWrdgv2x9wc
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。293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDYDE7Ar7aH
293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3YwgiR8GTS
從那時起，濺在臉上的那朵紅花就已經在紫藤的心頭生根。293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7f44bORR4R
293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0WRyKONBtC
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。293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiqz6IlQvkc
293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYKTzZsCU9s
「原來……這是對紫藤來說這麼重要的東西啊。」293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAOJ2U0n35m
293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU9A4bZvIMS
「嗯。」紫藤在胸前連同戒指握緊了拳頭。293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFvfSKeNnVT
293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJf9fD88Pd2
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。293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZTY16UJ8Lz
293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5yOIKvKsLC
自己已經不想要再失去任何東西了。293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpLd9IEAHwh
293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzfVQajkmwo
「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。293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZtjuVItM9a
293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfrcTG33OrO
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。293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtPQCAnFKNd
293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDCQEKRZrj9
「媽媽他——」293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFOA8783P2E
293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOrjDUqMqgu
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。293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJyiOdaVUyD
293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFGt7eGDx7g
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」。293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHJmkFDyPSq
293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh19fnXakWf
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。293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbLHlu3vKNn
293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuJhobXDoaG
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。293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRbJXWoltGE
293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSIxb9vktqy
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。293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOEOgbMgm9E
293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr4RJgImZ4v
但紫藤一點都不喜歡學校。293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHZWG6olAPq
293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH2sof8Aocg
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。293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqq39thsmrS
293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMvib9BYk8r
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。293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb18SV4s3Id
293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwIlq6elws6
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。293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEuFssSLMip
293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIsyUGivDx7
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。293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvtYXJdx5wH
293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsf7hLeDehr
嗯，這樣就夠了。那時的紫藤只有這麼單純的滿足。293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7yb8seT2rB
293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwQsc0AZAX0
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。293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYVdoLq4GmW
293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWGZH9VbGfO
那是一起倒塌事件。293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoLPVEzJ0X0
293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaCsygHkmJI
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。293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTl9eJH8Ix4
293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCwQOtnjiW2
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。293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlT948qmK68
293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwI1qBBYLfw
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。293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnqBOj0YseN
293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlVeqiK6HDa
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。293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZx56AgdyVq
293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7vKJ5kaQEh
「……我會找到給墨駒這個戒指的人。」293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu0ODwL4k3u
293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7JYIrMJBKY
收起回憶，紫藤再次握緊了戒指。293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEXzYjE1rgy
293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlpJZGqSsJn
「然後，殺了他。」293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7c8TIpiOO3
293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ8g5r7Xz1r
紫藤的眼神猶如熾火，沒有一分一毫的搖曳。293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtFI38Tog1J
293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyTHmCpSnm6
但只不過幾秒，便很快地萎靡了下來。293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCT67numxP8
293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz2lijeG1lP
「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。」293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJcxRhgKEO9
293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRAPHBay0ZL
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。293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxoU60PaUe6
293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡehWQG94Cou
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。293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMw54C3Z5nZ
293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3D7hvnd2PJ
「原來、這就是紫藤想要跟我一起行動的原因呀。」293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡexzu0uqepI
293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡklZk0nJKps
「……嗯。」293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡds0uWNVAPY
293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmQckIxWwos
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。293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMmQ3oQSYxn
293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa2yCiigQuu
紫藤深信，這就是自己向那些骯髒禽獸復仇的楔子。293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3Jo2loQRA2
293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7xoV4fF7V8
這就是足以斬斷自己心頭那朵紅花的白刃。293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuYxGzt9utu
293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhRpYAwDTTw
「……杜若妳呢？」293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSFQhCEN3Bg
293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHN2Hplp2RA
紫藤拾起快要滿溢的情感，回望了杜若那如新月般的雙眸。293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkgp8CDsqUK
293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDVhgVzCQqK
「又是為什麼……會開始當殺手？」293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3xLG0RvgLx
293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0fQQJqbGhy
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。293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEfjUaXDM36
293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVvtmyGkYgv
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。293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnGQeUEwdmQ
293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6TPpmfpGig
「紫藤……不會生氣吧？」293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX2rdPVdNCj
293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡun5ywTv000
杜若果然還在意著那時自己的衝動。293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkhv0hvdO95
293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9xaztRCSBK
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。293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvueqp7sU4a
293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7wAs8ok7jf
「不會。」紫藤堅定地說：「我保證。」293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT2v3n5XduA
293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfHivoTtP6R
等到紫藤緩緩收起手後，杜若才按著胸口，下定決心地開口。293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCWJMhl6Hds
293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtmf1pTXdI9
「……我想要救陶壺叔。」293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuqCrArcU6O
293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhvKTxh9dom
杜若喃喃吐出的回答令紫藤感到十分意外。293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7RBMChokQA
293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmD4ThDqEQg
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？293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ06Uv76oMPT
293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgKD6XLZgqu
就好像發現了紫藤的疑惑，杜若幽幽地繼續說道：293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhqopLewNn0
293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfcFqJOC1if
「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。」293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWSyfsg9Swv
293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPihpcViMpD
全身慢慢就會不能動的病？293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKtaD178pVv
293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyQDxzlQ6Jo
這種病紫藤是頭一次聽見。293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0mpDmdwiH9
293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPVCSM1AKB9
「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。」293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlCcdJcL7WN
293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8gOy22EcSh
「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。293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡacqsbqpGFb
293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhRVQJSzQD6
「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。」293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5NB0jZzksT
293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIE9bJPYYox
杜若的笑只看得見無力。293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy4O0HAlEdu
293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwZIX3xuWcn
「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。」293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEd8wSYvO0C
293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH98VFjwGUr
到這裡，杜若便沒有繼續說下去了。293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0lKJZFdLrB
293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0uquEeyrEP
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。293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxLUNK2fjcK
293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1fuUMJaSxQ
然而，紫藤卻忍不住想要質疑的念頭。293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡImWVNCmuxT
293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡziP2Hgx6h7
「那個狐狸、真的就這麼值得相信嗎？」293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTW7BFM5P3Y
293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX4Katk02X2
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。293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsPasUXocRm
293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkSlVHTlshJ
「……狐狸一直都對我很好呀。」293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBYvZVUdMmb
293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwBxaWfSbMT
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。293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbYf2qhg71X
293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfNrVkIvZEW
「所以，我還是相信狐狸。」293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx16LH6xGzj
293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡssDTYQ8vw4
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。293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwvZqyGYxTA
293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYhtP180rim
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。293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP2mA6jr4rC
293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVyJrpHkcmN
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。293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOxnxFvDrfy
293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDqpNmachmw
哪怕、就算那道光芒是朝自己射出的子彈也一樣。293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm8qxCVNJhP
293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKbzodmWeaz
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？293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7BwJkztFYA

這怎麼可能。293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOqMgZggRKk
293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAH8tFb1ptW
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。293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd2UTJFAvjw
293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnFdiB6kOHb
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。293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVuz31Z0jYa
293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHyCXjT8Fn0
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。293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4NNATQ15Pp
293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaxjizQgz5y
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。293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7MmDl9NU0v
293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1ic51ZkAHe
察覺到掌心的柔軟，杜若看著紫藤靦腆地一笑。293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdFQHd0SArw
293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjfhzzoo0m6
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293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡThogJPGVb0
293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFjxAvZC2zj
「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。293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXZI5K4e46X
293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNDNHM9O3BS
「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！」293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7AFnamB4J4
293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgWgVuQUQoh
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。293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1b3ZfA3OrU
293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO5pTqP4C7Y
「不過，果然還是不能夠靠沙華會的人呢。」293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8w8b0sDmx4
293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0UrUGlxk6X
經過剛才被反擊的經驗，讓兩人都對這點有了更多的共識。293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx0VL2H3aSX
293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtphDH9nWpG
說了句「話說回來」後，杜若就一轉話鋒、向紫藤問道：293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYshK4Yg9Qv
293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡroWuCyOi2o
「紫藤想要殺掉的人又是誰呀？紫藤還記得嗎？」293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPdw5ykWZU6
293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoq85LLkxmC
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。293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtle6aQWQrS
293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLQNp68ZZUT
「是一個……在脖子後面紋著白色線條的沙華會紋身的人。」293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtZg8HVQZgX
293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3kTsB6jWNf
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。293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw3mJrbKSjf
293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnwwGRjarRb
「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。」293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxtjG6lEpmI
293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuubJl9tfXG
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。293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrJX7ft3GSe
293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3SdeUSSOo7
「這樣的話，我也來幫忙吧！」杜若自告奮勇地舉高手：293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJZBBL7Dsuj
293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfJm5vOomrk
「兩個人一起找絕對比較快的！」293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOFUXodnNUJ
293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8xJC34yTRz
杜若的模樣、讓紫藤晚了一步才發現自己說錯了話。293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAI969g6S86
293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqzL8LNncAe
紫藤默默地低下頭、沉聲回答。293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡccMJWSIEp2
293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfr3izjp1tr
「……不用那樣。我……我自己就夠了。」293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0snsLSlzqd
293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgtxGO4LmDf
這冷淡的回答讓杜若頓時像被潑了水的貓咪似地一愣。293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡes5z1nqYw2
293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4MvNLR6ssV
「可是、紫藤不是說到現在都……」293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA3vbA02hD9
293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN79gmFBcrm
「這本來就是我自己的事。」293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIdgwlIAYyx
293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKDer69L7BM
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。293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxbpizZhsai
293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡppTdlwHdD1
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。293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAZMAfnUuMM
293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsoF6L2aI6V
「那要是紫藤遇到危險怎麼辦！」倏地，杜若站起身、提高音量293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNcFITutdin
293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0tKYyC1ziE
「我就是為了保護自己，才會去學習要怎麼搏鬥。」293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEmxBblt53p
293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOU2jfJ2pDP
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。293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuaiF3sStIq
293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxX73PK2nXh
「可是、假如對方有槍、假如遇到像今天一樣的事……」293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ67oSoCVhat
293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMV77KsQG9O
「我是不會讓自己被殺死的。」293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ5QSVehVrU
293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFFLzmjlIw8
「紫藤明明就傷成這樣、還說這種話……！」293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe5ZpN3OTQR
293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmGrc10Gq3n
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。293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRzJp8kmXVZ
293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQVPkVwIWtY
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。293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMfg3kvVoRC
293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6PFbx8SM1k
杜若雖然想甩開，但卻在一半就失去了力氣。293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKVKOLzWm7V
293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrvOzuI5zx0
「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……」293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgCrOhbhjId
293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1wIa8NlBzK
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。293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl1F3nHphCn
293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4WEqwiSTvB
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？293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4XwE6gXjhO
293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCW92w7nzhr
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。293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0wAUHW08NG
293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC6LXViiGF6
最後，紫藤還是用了奸詐的說法。293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk1XJ486y57
293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZEEvHnJ8KM
「我跟陶壺叔約定過，說不會讓妳受傷了。」293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJeFTaZXzsv
293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkOwC63yqW7
「那難道紫藤要我看著妳受傷嗎？」293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2Qv6DuhBei
293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRapJfV7yuk
雖然夾雜著鼻音、但這句話卻如此強而有力。293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsYQmpFu4oN
293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLcKRaerG9f
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。293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6lu6i6R1k3
293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTQ1p8DT2et
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。293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7GOSvUrrSR
293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4G8cQdc1vY
而紫藤打算再在杜若的身上再添一層相同的痛苦嗎？293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYxtc5TL0GQ
293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzthqrO4j21
紫藤無法回答，只是沉默地別開了視線。293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡga5a2xCz5x
293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9b5O9Ws08h
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？293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1FRQ7qLJMq
293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCJK9hEvVgH
哪條路都是崎嶇，哪條路也都是痛苦。293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡozLrzZhzJc
293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrYwx7JxLsy
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？293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWImLeEMGj2
293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7ghDST5xUx
只因為就連接受也是痛苦吧。293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy73UPEYfoq
293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkOiW5J34W2
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？293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnSnF1deUAi
293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdPz8Mz6bqA
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。293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB1yGUBGZj3
293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYRDhCJYiz1
思及至此，紫藤才慢慢地放鬆了手中的力道。293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSsRChL4YXM
293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlLmMcw0OdI
「答應我、要先保護好妳自己。」293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcvlUXEp2qr
293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlEvT3IiUWy
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。293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9UKgsqHYY9
293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ3lRr2CoXN
「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。293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgJh8e3FrEY
293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡryWWP6JBkQ
「所以，我的份就用來保護紫藤吧！」293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0bsxedAhKk
293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNDCKdI1R8Z
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。293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfcRq2ghvA8
293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPapByOX6nz
「喔喔！紫藤笑了耶！」293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtgJF1228LN
293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnCc4H49RV6
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。293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrX0UixCgpO
293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNZemS5YHEF
「哇啊啊——！對不起！」杜若立刻慌張地放下手來。293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVWYm8PhKaS
293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7DUQRxBOLF
疼痛雖然還沒散去，但紫藤還是發自內心地笑了。293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBitJKBpUkt
293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHGTqx05ZnZ
「……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？」293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrqUKp0029n
293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0w9qfdNBB6
「咦？」這提議讓紫藤也感到意外地眨了眨眼。293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrrx3pGTMKp
293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLz3nfQHNsy
「雖然是我自己猜的……不過狐狸應該很擅長找人吧。」293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX0onj1MJC9
293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZlLuzLBPa9
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。293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDHVaJPx6wG
293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtgtvfb9aaq
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。293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZHss30GM6N
293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfUyv0NsPRQ
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。293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5Mcxa6Jhnd
293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡife3mdb3qD
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？293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCDIZHj0I7u
293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXMGHKGt9QJ
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？293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ48lnvrwacG
293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvh6aEUBNP2
「那……可以幫我跟狐狸說說看嗎？」293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdILdzQFrHC
293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPZOANb4pwm
「當然呀，這是我提議的嘛～」杜若自信地抱起手臂、挺起胸膛。293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrVUjCqGadG
293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡikCgs2mWFh
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。293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCLXZFypfom
293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGrmsEGoyCc
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。293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo65yAPQSNx
293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfHJ19cUWy2
「妳的傷……換我幫妳吧。」293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl5NZEgWcdm
293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaU4x0fKrQ6
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。293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnx5WBofOYa
293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBxZljWHFdn
「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。293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLJvhQv0kXT
293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTSFk8xx9qL
「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。293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqHrVCULsX4
293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ8rCf283MB
「撕得開來嗎？」杜若看著紫藤有些僵硬的動作，有所顧慮地問。293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgPlQQ2Mu5n
293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg0AHDG5aEU
「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。293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxE1tg9VDMB
293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFgBQFV1Al2
「……好了。換膝蓋吧。」293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlCMWsXb3nM
293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnFanJAeRJV
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。293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGp0JwWe1xk
293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjyHLKqt5ti
「我臉上有什麼嗎？」紫藤不解地偏過頭。293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0SHGfJG81F
293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwDtuqy1XFb
「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：293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQsUmAbzGtW
293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWgehrG7YJX
「只是覺得紫藤認真的模樣……果然好帥喔。」293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnlMewpW4uA
293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt9uzUlXk7G
突如其來的稱讚，令紫藤頓時耳根一熱。293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYMkJMkGumt
293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEpO8F8ZvTe
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？293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡChJaN7sBtk
293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTJ1oDjvpd4
「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：293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmGiL3WvgdB
293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡObzxcK7Eqo
「謝謝……」293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrl0stwQPCE
293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBue0vvPglH
「嗯？」293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEiTJeCV5LJ
293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwekp5DAYyx
「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……！」293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFuW3QuIgFE
293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcfdGJ5dgya
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。293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUadNPn57XF
293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhUkP90Otax
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。293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiNyzLavKuo
293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUEp01TBz7B
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。293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVG2l5cFIQo
293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7Ws0F4Aumb
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。293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKiMVEp7xuz
293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2xUKnNezaj
「稍微……稍微彎起來一點。」293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmGZsUTYUsU
293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjFJBTv8Ncn
「這樣？」293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnCRDpv6DXe
293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡduoXTACyeq
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。293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxbdBxidkmS
293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdH0kWUn1KC
「……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。293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLWdXY0Uce7
293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlo43qRw4jM
於是紫藤收起醫療用品，起身將箱子放回原位。293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM4SNRBB6wT
293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡflFtxKnRA1
「對了，剛才紫藤提到的事件……」293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA61YfKxThe
293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ2mhTNxm5J
就在要踏出房門的時候，杜若忽然想到了什麼似地開了口。293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoUz9s2osqP
293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0rgstuX2ho
「事件、是倒塌事件嗎？」293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMJDoXXa4Hd
293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡndFl9coc14
「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。293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn38xXCRmqC
293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIMv8RugDSL
「怎麼了嗎？」看見杜若的模樣，令紫藤擔心地走了回去。293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDOSIvZ9hLo
293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa01Vp61Bm5
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。293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4rxEKNlEGJ
293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6BnUct1QwX
「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！」293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs51ryg06Lh
293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8sDD3TcluZ
紫藤雖然感到疑惑，卻還是沒有多問地走出了房間。293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmIvJ22fPGJ
293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBwg8h27W0u
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。293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwx9O1kFN5v
293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ41Fc6QSPQ7
「我們……好像弄錯順序了耶。」293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7RAprwIZw8
293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ10DFkcUpDF
「……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。293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD2hCEdfYPw
293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡplsKyYV3Sa
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。293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz69KvSYsQN
293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzKWtwmL7NK
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。293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0dxG7gBuKr
293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq4hQ6oqaPj
「紫藤需要我幫忙嗎？」293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkBb5SDE21r
293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjgzSTNZKs8
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。293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4rgNeWjL6q
293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHp8aqTIzqX
「我、我自己來就可以了……」293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3dqbpl7yMC
293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaWq3RZUOQm
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。293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW3BQMsqp9b
293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDWrFLPBaf1
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。293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBVtz5a3pw2
293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyapl5Xm5qi
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。293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxQdU0hNop3
293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV5xilp2wrj
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。293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFBVryoqAYn

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。293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDYmKohTZxJ
293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTu0vJ8oLXs
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？293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT4JFlOS2C9

「……紫藤。」293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw1lq3dIq2X
293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4LogfB78iZ
「怎麼了？」293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnwPV0KtqeT
293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrogziCsgI2
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。293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoGfFuF3Zbi
293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzEARjulxst
「紫藤說、會一直在我身邊……我可以相信紫藤吧？」293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy9zdVz9SPg
293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡovB7ILDQHq
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。293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6z82Khhoce
293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEFt7DwCmQX
紫藤伸出手輕蓋在了杜若的後腦，卻沒有辦法就這麼點頭。293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZK0fmutAtC
293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6vWMfQeJoN
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？293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDGQUIvtqrN
293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5GnpU3mT0W
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。293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6pGr7xMezp
293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCKjzRBTkOW
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。293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuUQ4febgpj
293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYWopKEMZ7l
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？293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRLa81oPbRz
293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4AsZsK7sZI
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。293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1Gum0wbQnp
293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEn3XasM9uW
不過紫藤現在就在這裡。293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5cM0T6kPwr
293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡInch0keSa3
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。293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ75DCQsf7ge
293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGVE5a73Nfp
於是、紫藤探出指頭，用指腹輕貼上了杜若的臉頰。293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡArUhhpzeqJ
293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzISufRDBmD
「……我會試著做到的。」293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡayyaG9hSXd
293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3nQJbgu7Xp
「什麼嘛……」聽見這不乾脆的回答，杜若便沒輒地笑了。293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVRRQVUrIBO
293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvEUcYmjyOI
「不過……我相信紫藤喔。」293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnAWCfHamLy
293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7sy1zZHQ7N
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。293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHuvYUkwmp6
293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡah3I8LnEDG
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。293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl7u1sEUsk7
293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdFR8AcxQ0v
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。293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAAksCjWspm
293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgmiN6oyMsd
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。293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8uzihRVD6O
293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4KWELuOVz7
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。293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡedykkXNiU5
