「紫藤、早安!」270Please respect copyright.PENANA9YdMqWUHvY
270Please respect copyright.PENANAK8SjY22AaM
這天早上,杜若也跟紫藤約好了見面。杜若用著與早晨十分合襯的聲音向紫藤小跑步了過去。270Please respect copyright.PENANAmOgfywulkC
270Please respect copyright.PENANAeAzgk26V4a
蹲著身子的紫藤先是愣了一會後,才停下手中的動作看向聲音傳來的方向。270Please respect copyright.PENANAo0vPtRbEZx
270Please respect copyright.PENANAQWzR8a2r9v
「……早。」270Please respect copyright.PENANA2qIxNoCAyn
270Please respect copyright.PENANAYT4r3yXpzl
「紫藤在做什麼……咦?又是牠呀。」270Please respect copyright.PENANA8Rd522jmOX
270Please respect copyright.PENANA2CQcciL9yZ
杜若探過身子,就發現在紫藤伸出的手心前、昨天那隻灰白色的小貓正低著頭吃著已經被剝成小塊的饅頭。270Please respect copyright.PENANATTHdeEsgiO
270Please respect copyright.PENANAABiFITG4eT
「……牠好像是最近才在這附近出沒的樣子。」紫藤說著,接著又剝下一小塊眉頭送到了牠的面前。270Please respect copyright.PENANAS60W2gtO4D
270Please respect copyright.PENANAolYYA6uCN8
不知道是不是因為這次小貓沒有跑走了、還是覺得讓杜若看見也沒關係,紫藤已經不像昨天那樣慌慌張張地想要隱瞞自己在餵貓了。270Please respect copyright.PENANAGS8tQeWaBi
270Please respect copyright.PENANAZ1GeITPGfO
「喔~這樣啊。」看見小貓這次安份了許多,杜若便也跟著蹲了下來。270Please respect copyright.PENANACF709qqV1j
270Please respect copyright.PENANALUUnEVp93T
「說起來,牠也是鎮裡的一份子嘛。」270Please respect copyright.PENANAQqDKHoJmjg
270Please respect copyright.PENANATiB5xFZQ7c
杜若伸手朝那隻小傢伙的腦袋探去,可是卻被防備地躲了開來。270Please respect copyright.PENANAJhZFEPA9np
270Please respect copyright.PENANAmABa02y3IH
「咦?」270Please respect copyright.PENANA1VJ07dgxT4
270Please respect copyright.PENANAi6MXXnH2rK
只見小貓機靈地竄到了紫藤手的另一側,用著有所警覺的眼神弓起背脊、直直地盯著杜若瞧。而紫藤順勢將手蓋了上去,對方便縮起脖子溫順地讓紫藤摸了起來。270Please respect copyright.PENANAKlm7JYRMrP
270Please respect copyright.PENANANDOX0bQGlQ
「嗚……為什麼嘛!」270Please respect copyright.PENANA4aJ7X0eLUC
270Please respect copyright.PENANAqmyEDbEGI2
這顯而易見的差別待遇,讓杜若不甘心地鼓起臉頰。270Please respect copyright.PENANANwSSPD5zKX
270Please respect copyright.PENANAMPGSjrFf0a
「……是因為之前的關係吧。」紫藤邊摸著小貓的腦袋,邊對著杜若說道:270Please respect copyright.PENANAJX7TDkzwvv
270Please respect copyright.PENANA0K8fagjkq9
「牠們的記憶力其實意外的都很好。」270Please respect copyright.PENANAtQVQ6H6Ztp
270Please respect copyright.PENANAwbVlN3RzDE
如果說白點,應該說是擅長記仇才對。之前杜若硬是把人家給抓了起來,那時候肯定給了牠相當可怕的回憶吧。270Please respect copyright.PENANAY99twEBMaB
270Please respect copyright.PENANAxfbAi4Lnv6
「什麼嘛、明明只是一隻貓還這麼小氣!」270Please respect copyright.PENANAO6xxVTqIVV
270Please respect copyright.PENANARKWS0CInhe
杜若氣呼呼地繞到另一側想抓住小貓,小貓卻又機警地鑽到了相反的方向。只見一人一貓在身旁你追我趕地打轉個不停,紫藤是既感到有些無奈又有些好笑。270Please respect copyright.PENANAA5UH4m1BDf
270Please respect copyright.PENANACs0i9cUR3Q
「可惡……我要認真了喔!」明明穿著輕便的短袖,但杜若還是作勢捲起袖子、把雙手彎得像是支夾子似的。270Please respect copyright.PENANAwK0rPf0GqP
270Please respect copyright.PENANAiyL5sCHRYR
要是杜若真的認真起來,對方恐怕會嚇得再也不敢出現了吧。270Please respect copyright.PENANADBxhxD4gGO
270Please respect copyright.PENANAt1eLdaZX8D
於是紫藤連忙拉住杜若,將手中剩下一半的饅頭遞了過去。270Please respect copyright.PENANAKXiothLPFx
270Please respect copyright.PENANAhEFMGPs8kz
「要不要也試看看?」270Please respect copyright.PENANAOT4vR8ljTX
270Please respect copyright.PENANA13m8UK1kvS
回望了紫藤拉住自己的手一眼,杜若這才努起嘴、顯得不情願接了下來。270Please respect copyright.PENANACIoTMkktP2
270Please respect copyright.PENANAmuwnF5dbIN
「……這個貪吃鬼。」杜若咕噥著蹲下身子,粗魯地剝下一塊放到了自己的掌心上。270Please respect copyright.PENANAOYnzfeGveR
270Please respect copyright.PENANAVUQkKp5qBL
只見小貓先是退了幾步,就好像在揣測杜若的意圖一樣地來回踱步著,但最後還是受不了誘惑、戰戰兢兢地朝著杜若走去。270Please respect copyright.PENANAg1dnCIVUsc
270Please respect copyright.PENANAuxvKHgqHbE
「啊……!」270Please respect copyright.PENANAM82iuWMWfv
270Please respect copyright.PENANAU5k4qzTvci
鬍鬚的搔癢讓杜若的手驚喜地顫了幾下,然後趁著對方放下戒心的時候,杜若也學紫藤把另一隻手放到了小貓的頭上。這次對方沒有逃開,而是老實地讓杜若摸了起來。270Please respect copyright.PENANAy3PsOkvj1S
270Please respect copyright.PENANA863pWu59Hw
「這樣才乖嘛。」杜若微微笑、喃喃地說道。270Please respect copyright.PENANAWFdkXChldN
270Please respect copyright.PENANAa2obWrywMR
一頭白髮的杜若跟一身灰白的小貓,這樣的畫面就好像太陽和藍天一樣合襯,光是看著就讓人忍不住就想要微笑。270Please respect copyright.PENANA11LuhVrkfU
270Please respect copyright.PENANAHSF81kTlfZ
看著杜若喜滋滋的側臉,總覺得要是現在杜若的身後也長著一條尾巴的話,大概也會像是貓咪一樣左右搖晃吧。270Please respect copyright.PENANA5058TwToGq
270Please respect copyright.PENANAnk7YPLL3NM
唔……這樣的話好像又比較像小狗呢。270Please respect copyright.PENANATqQEyn4j43
270Please respect copyright.PENANA0xwqyulIam
紫藤望著眼前和諧的光景,漫不經心地想著。270Please respect copyright.PENANA1X432CMEpk
270Please respect copyright.PENANA91rHL3KN9a
270Please respect copyright.PENANAsQ92NGuKfe
※270Please respect copyright.PENANAzJc49B6zXY
270Please respect copyright.PENANAQ3Q9tS7H2a
270Please respect copyright.PENANAZGTFB8VO1q
今天的課程只到中午,一般來說這時候紫藤都會到道場練習,只是杜若說有重要的事便叫住了紫藤。270Please respect copyright.PENANAD8IL2lkoIX
270Please respect copyright.PENANAHXk9tcBWSW
跟著杜若,兩人來到了一個小型的中庭。方正的空間裡高高低低地銜著許多通道,還看得見牆上突著一塊塊著牆壁被拆除後留下的灰色疤痕。270Please respect copyright.PENANAueFFz0NgNX
270Please respect copyright.PENANAHdOXnkKTgo
這裡大概也曾是民宅吧,像這樣因為妨礙到擴建而打通形成的道路要衝,在鎮裡並不少見。270Please respect copyright.PENANAlcKkkXo2w0
270Please respect copyright.PENANAcN5adjXJ4w
杜若左右打量著坐到了一旁的矮階梯上,接著從腰包裡拿出了一塊像是白色木板的東西。270Please respect copyright.PENANA7MWCn7ZUM6
270Please respect copyright.PENANAs6Wvop4530
「這是……?」270Please respect copyright.PENANAnuvOaHeRXx
270Please respect copyright.PENANAmEa6Hb0Qx3
白色的板子大概比杜若的手指併攏還要大上一些,另一面則是光滑的黑色玻璃層,只見杜若稍微碰觸了側邊之後,那一層黑色的表面便亮了起來。270Please respect copyright.PENANAX1hwNIH0wT
270Please respect copyright.PENANAb6lsGjnIg1
「這叫手機唷,是狐狸為了任務方便才拿給我的,平時狐狸都會用這個把情報用傳給我。不過,不知道為什麼只有在這裡才有辦法收到新的情報呢。」杜若一邊解釋,一邊伸出手指在板子的光滑表面上操作起來。270Please respect copyright.PENANAjSdwnmbtX2
270Please respect copyright.PENANAK9b1jVARtb
紫藤湊近看了看,總覺得似乎在南區圖書館的書中看過類似的東西、委員會裡也有幾台類似的機器,只不過沒有杜若手上拿的這麼輕巧。270Please respect copyright.PENANAlu4RO1eJYr
270Please respect copyright.PENANARqR1Qh12RO
低頭操作了一會後,玻璃層上顯示出了一個綁著小撮馬尾的男子畫像。270Please respect copyright.PENANA8dgrGtDQLo
270Please respect copyright.PENANAxayg45W32F
「紫藤妳看,這就是下一個目標喔。」杜若指著那副照片說道。270Please respect copyright.PENANAGjOcHc3iuE
270Please respect copyright.PENANAzHlIG8SjGX
畫像雖然有些模糊,但還是可以清楚地辨認出男子的五官與特徵。270Please respect copyright.PENANAH195cDPAOv
270Please respect copyright.PENANATLtRXli7OW
這大概叫做「螢幕」吧,紫藤突然想起以前在南區的委員會辦公室看過類似機器的時候,其中一人告訴自己的名詞。270Please respect copyright.PENANA4XljjPJ5pO
270Please respect copyright.PENANAFoZQsNPfqS
還來不及回想有關這個機器的用法,人像下方的一行小字便又吸引了紫藤的注意力。270Please respect copyright.PENANASb5EmLM8ho
270Please respect copyright.PENANA8y84fVXlUH
「飛燕里紅尾屋……青掌?」270Please respect copyright.PENANADCfq9N1tgb
270Please respect copyright.PENANAepOvXvvrKJ
飛燕里,是位在東區、鎮裡賭場比鄰的區域。紫藤知道這個地方,所以照常理來想,紅尾屋應該是某間賭場的名字。但「青掌」是什麼意思,紫藤就完全沒有頭緒了。270Please respect copyright.PENANATr6RRNCuOA
270Please respect copyright.PENANAFJJmo4zWd4
不過,就算沒有頭緒,紫藤也已經發現了什麼。270Please respect copyright.PENANAoUCZyGcMVf
270Please respect copyright.PENANA8CcCqVXfAG
「意思是……這也是沙華會的人吧?」紫藤凝視著機器中的畫像,確認地問道。270Please respect copyright.PENANAWgayL55SlG
270Please respect copyright.PENANAocOCteGVAn
「狐狸說飛燕里是在東區、東區又是沙華會的地盤的話,應該就是了吧。」杜若一邊仔細讀著情報,一邊回答。270Please respect copyright.PENANApBnlbcrDB3
270Please respect copyright.PENANAMBoakzFl3l
「所以那個狐狸給的目標……全都是沙華會的人嗎?」270Please respect copyright.PENANAUxu0eSCPW2
270Please respect copyright.PENANAyrVDfdDTPx
「欸……?」270Please respect copyright.PENANAArrc05BWN4
270Please respect copyright.PENANAN26afZYjTa
紫藤有些激動的口氣,讓杜若頓著看了紫藤一眼。稍微別過視線後,杜若才愣愣地點了點頭。270Please respect copyright.PENANA8Cm9403MxR
270Please respect copyright.PENANANuzdMmN6L2
「……嗯。」270Please respect copyright.PENANAe2mpmmpQEV
270Please respect copyright.PENANA1YAeA7DSXU
「……太好了。」270Please respect copyright.PENANAg20xm5o00A
270Please respect copyright.PENANAPg8aD7K5zO
這終於讓紫藤鬆了一口氣。270Please respect copyright.PENANA5zfAvQiICE
270Please respect copyright.PENANANtQctLjPzi
雖然不知道那個狐狸究竟是何方神聖,但紫藤想也沒想過鎮裡竟有敢與沙華會對抗的存在,光得知這點,紫藤就已經感到士氣大振。270Please respect copyright.PENANAfi3dzkAtP8
270Please respect copyright.PENANAJBCRdEo4Y2
自己果然沒有搞錯對象啊。270Please respect copyright.PENANAEMppxWPfmW
270Please respect copyright.PENANAbRsI7HIUoP
說不定這真是命運的安排也不一定。270Please respect copyright.PENANACDzUfMcDKy
270Please respect copyright.PENANAMMotFs36PF
為了自己向沙華會的復仇。270Please respect copyright.PENANAJZrqksdZYp
270Please respect copyright.PENANAGDmSqsHi1G
「唔嗯……飛燕里是在東南區那邊呀,目標的活動時間是傍晚……」270Please respect copyright.PENANA3w7UPmGzAw
270Please respect copyright.PENANALgOzuBlcYj
「我們現在就去探查吧。」270Please respect copyright.PENANA46iNVLhR9n
270Please respect copyright.PENANAAzS6xdpFcZ
「咦?」270Please respect copyright.PENANAwskl3NWLX8
270Please respect copyright.PENANAti7TZoi6lQ
「反正下午也沒事了不是嗎?我們現在就可以過去了。」270Please respect copyright.PENANAWDKMvHYIpz
270Please respect copyright.PENANAG1TTyNZrUl
「咦?可是……現在才中午耶?」270Please respect copyright.PENANAYK7GoE2gEM
270Please respect copyright.PENANAwN3HF3A4mQ
「走過去的話也要花不少時間,我們就早點過去吧。」270Please respect copyright.PENANAbJ3KnwwAZU
270Please respect copyright.PENANAq7cj09r8N7
「咦?等等、等等啦!紫藤!」270Please respect copyright.PENANAgejTzb17Jd
270Please respect copyright.PENANARk9gkwMsIY
紫藤突如其來的積極反應讓杜若一時跟不上來,連忙拉住了逕自跨出腳步的紫藤。270Please respect copyright.PENANATA0e0azpWL
270Please respect copyright.PENANAU8IMCdSI2f
「紫藤、妳知道飛燕里是什麼地方吧?」270Please respect copyright.PENANA7imW4fYpWt
270Please respect copyright.PENANAsnHwE5pNgs
「嗯。」270Please respect copyright.PENANAZg1dJwmLND
270Please respect copyright.PENANA0i5gDKwtL3
「那怎麼可能一大早就進去嘛,那裡可是目標的地盤喔?」270Please respect copyright.PENANAtOFM4dIOjk
270Please respect copyright.PENANAuoiAdy8ZXL
飛燕里作為鎮內最大的賭區,當然歸由具有實質鎮內統治權的沙華會所管理。況且還是在東區的裡頭,凡是有點常識的鎮民都知道不該擅闖沙華會的地盤。270Please respect copyright.PENANAsoR1P85Fgf
270Please respect copyright.PENANAxNIFSI0XyM
「……是那樣沒錯……」270Please respect copyright.PENANArFJ123VW8I
270Please respect copyright.PENANAkap2cbD8a3
「紫藤有時候很容易一頭熱呢。」杜若看著紫藤、別有深意地笑了。270Please respect copyright.PENANApLgETzOOou
270Please respect copyright.PENANARRl93S5itW
「我……我多少也知道……」270Please respect copyright.PENANA0RlVxxdlbU
270Please respect copyright.PENANAaVfcS8mulu
想起幾天前才是因為這樣而差點跟杜若起了爭執,讓紫藤是想否認也難。270Please respect copyright.PENANAZnoDkb8Rq3
270Please respect copyright.PENANABCepeLRhzW
「用不著那麼著急啦,我們就稍微等等再過去吧。」杜若輕輕一笑後,便收起手機輕巧地跳下階梯。270Please respect copyright.PENANAWjVVnaONfo
270Please respect copyright.PENANAhDp37VuOba
最後兩人決定還是先用過午餐再討論任務該怎麼進行,而在前往黃灶巷的路上,一道聲音叫住了兩人。270Please respect copyright.PENANA48cMAFWKva
270Please respect copyright.PENANAdyXgVkngMZ
「喲、杜若,還沒吃飯嗎?要不要一起?」從後方走來的身影以她那獨特的沙啞嗓音喊道。270Please respect copyright.PENANAUgfGBIX8Ko
270Please respect copyright.PENANAOjwYKhBXtS
回頭一看,才看見原來是同樣在雲實老師班上的同學。270Please respect copyright.PENANAM52aziHpsu
270Please respect copyright.PENANA4TOzgSzgNY
「雛菊!好巧喔、午安!」杜若也舉高手打了招呼。270Please respect copyright.PENANAyqWqbsWeNy
270Please respect copyright.PENANAfzzQSRnXdT
「嗨。杜若妳今天的精神也很好啊。」270Please respect copyright.PENANA8X1UX6oW2F
270Please respect copyright.PENANATLyGLYq2le
身材高瘦、有著一頭俐落琥珀色短髮的雛菊抬起手表示回應。但看見杜若身旁的紫藤後,雛菊就突然腳步一愣。270Please respect copyright.PENANAhOayIEZPoc
270Please respect copyright.PENANAKK9rcm2zW2
「妳是……紫藤?」雛菊回想了一會,有些意外地挑起眉頭:「妳們的組合還真是新奇耶。」270Please respect copyright.PENANAh5NsQ3INSl
270Please respect copyright.PENANAi0cmDg61LJ
「……對。妳好。」而被好奇的目光盯著瞧的紫藤只是小聲地打了招呼。270Please respect copyright.PENANA0DznJBIxvD
270Please respect copyright.PENANAvJjlKQERTa
想想對方會有這樣的反應倒也不奇怪。畢竟紫藤跟杜若雖然在同個教室,但在這之前其實並沒有什麼聯繫。270Please respect copyright.PENANAZtzaquRj86
270Please respect copyright.PENANAcRV825BExR
「喂、就跟妳說了……」270Please respect copyright.PENANAAb2wLACzuG
270Please respect copyright.PENANAN1wx20QDH0
而就在紫藤打算轉回視線時,雛菊後頭的女生狀似責備地拍了下對方的肩膀,隨後站到了雛菊的身前。270Please respect copyright.PENANAUmxpUz3auU
270Please respect copyright.PENANAWa07uRMXXO
「紫藤同學午安。」那個女生有禮地鞠了個躬:「不好意思、雛菊不太懂禮貌。」270Please respect copyright.PENANAhVHgvhTdSR
270Please respect copyright.PENANA1iFqIjy0mt
那一頭純白的髮絲因為動作而柔軟地在肩上搖晃。雖然顏色相同,但相較於杜若那隨性到有些凌亂的髮型,她則是有條有理地將纖細的髮絲梳得平齊。如果說杜若給人的感覺像團蓬鬆的棉花,那眼前的女孩子就像是被一床整齊又乾淨的棉被,無論是看上去還是碰觸到、給人的都只有溫暖的印象。270Please respect copyright.PENANA052RA5kR5H
270Please respect copyright.PENANAg2189Vo8VK
她是白鵑。是在杜若之前、紫藤在鎮上少數有交集的同輩。270Please respect copyright.PENANA5tmFnZRwVM
270Please respect copyright.PENANAIQti4EPIMT
而面對這份自然的溫度,紫藤也同樣放輕了語氣地回答了。270Please respect copyright.PENANAuQTrS99E5f
270Please respect copyright.PENANAMxmpK5narX
「沒關係。用不著在意。」270Please respect copyright.PENANAZWR4aVbnlu
270Please respect copyright.PENANAVv4PERCi9b
老實說,雛菊會對自己沒什麼印象本來就不令紫藤意外。如果不是杜若先開口,恐怕紫藤也認不出雛菊吧。270Please respect copyright.PENANANVfQJgTkPB
270Please respect copyright.PENANADcRHu0az3H
「白鵑果然也在呀!午安!」杜若同樣精神十足地向白鵑打了招呼,白鵑則是溫和地微微笑後,就繼續說道:270Please respect copyright.PENANArolVwR2Ozi
270Please respect copyright.PENANA20b6Q9TfbW
「雖然剛才菊也說了,不過如果還沒吃過的話、要不要一起吃個飯?剛好家裡才多了一些不知道該怎麼辦的食物呢。」270Please respect copyright.PENANAkCoKN4rHhY
270Please respect copyright.PENANANMFyibRRW1
「哇!好啊好啊!」270Please respect copyright.PENANAwdk816MK9V
270Please respect copyright.PENANAnMnkm9OXRL
一聽見有好吃的,杜若立刻兩眼放光地點頭,隨後向紫藤投去詢問的目光。270Please respect copyright.PENANAnFzVp1j5RQ
270Please respect copyright.PENANA4YyIrQ1xss
「紫藤呢?要一起去嗎?」270Please respect copyright.PENANAtIwzU4GpcR
270Please respect copyright.PENANA3p8kmcm7Da
這眼神顯然是把自己當成了孤僻的人了吧?270Please respect copyright.PENANAJVIB6kU3iM
270Please respect copyright.PENANAgkoVecjjtp
不過紫藤多少也有些自知之明就是了。270Please respect copyright.PENANAy5rH0vIsBP
270Please respect copyright.PENANAvCXCw8dTyf
「如果不麻煩的話。」270Please respect copyright.PENANALmvuF2Qi3e
270Please respect copyright.PENANANVfRsIjs7W
聞言,白鵑便露出了可掬的笑容。270Please respect copyright.PENANALMoOQvIdA1
270Please respect copyright.PENANADOsMbl0jzn
「那、就一起到我們家坐坐吧。」270Please respect copyright.PENANAeJETWqN5tZ
270Please respect copyright.PENANAoR7aNPNT2d
於是四人一起邁開了步伐。270Please respect copyright.PENANA2ipAyHWrGI
270Please respect copyright.PENANAVwZVLggYd9
白鵑的父母在北大街經營著診所,而他們似乎早在紫藤出生前就開始行醫了,紫藤自然也是受過不少次照顧,也因為這樣才認識了白鵑。270Please respect copyright.PENANA7Y5XYwAYaK
270Please respect copyright.PENANAstPacl9xyd
但像這樣進到別人的家裡吃飯,紫藤還是第一次。270Please respect copyright.PENANAmBLaedWQgZ
270Please respect copyright.PENANAYw02tQVAQP
「鵑,我吃完了。」270Please respect copyright.PENANAsm60M0sZIJ
270Please respect copyright.PENANA2Yz2zWAoMt
「怎麼又拿給我呀……菊妳今天胃口還真好耶。」坐在雛菊一旁的白鵑雖然鼓著臉這麼說,卻還是接過雛菊遞來的空碗,在裡頭添上新飯。270Please respect copyright.PENANA9eYvcT94Rs
270Please respect copyright.PENANA0W7ntOsfdU
「喏。」270Please respect copyright.PENANAVBRCEnbM98
270Please respect copyright.PENANAy8biQjMc1f
「嘻嘻,謝啦。」接過後,雛菊得逞般地露齒一笑。270Please respect copyright.PENANAr68coQFetu
270Please respect copyright.PENANA61Jq2iwq95
乾煎雞胸、馬鈴薯燉肉、醬烤肉丸、蔬菜煎餅、蘿蔔湯……桌上擺著好幾道豐盛的菜色,對紫藤來說幾乎可以說是足以分上好幾天慢慢吃的量了,雖然說醫生似乎常常會收到居民的贈禮,但更或許是白鵑的家境本來就十分優渥。270Please respect copyright.PENANAHsiwv8Unwc
270Please respect copyright.PENANAWlZ2pCQevh
光是現在用來吃飯的餐桌,就已經跟黃灶巷的一些餐館差不多大,客廳更是寬闊到就算讓全班的人進來也沒問題。而且不像鎮裡的大多房屋那樣陰暗,白鵑家的窗外面對著陽光灑落的北大街,在早上甚至用不著開燈就已經十分明亮。270Please respect copyright.PENANAqoe2m538hk
270Please respect copyright.PENANAPtNkh6XSp5
「唉,可惜我沒帶吉他來,不然開心的時候果然還是得唱歌才行!」270Please respect copyright.PENANA9eV93e1VSg
270Please respect copyright.PENANAVEwwqnD0lm
「好呀!我最喜歡雛菊唱的歌了!」270Please respect copyright.PENANASIBSOTw0Fa
270Please respect copyright.PENANAPKf7gBT4CK
「哈哈哈!果然還是杜若懂我!」270Please respect copyright.PENANAYorVFGtexI
270Please respect copyright.PENANAF8MPPgv0Rd
相比沉靜的白鵑跟紫藤,那靜不下來的兩人從開始用餐之後諸如此類的喧鬧就不曾停下來過。270Please respect copyright.PENANAS8va09cyLA
270Please respect copyright.PENANAi9xqBTfFKg
「雛菊跟杜若同學還真合得來呢。」在一旁的白鵑看著喧鬧的兩人,輕輕笑道。270Please respect copyright.PENANAEBCBiqnh8X
270Please respect copyright.PENANA1GOWPPE0Cj
「嗯。」紫藤頷首。僅僅只是看著杜若、輕輕地咬下一塊豆腐。270Please respect copyright.PENANAk4CgInTHmt
270Please respect copyright.PENANAXzBsCVCkEO
……原來杜若平時是笑得那麼燦爛啊。270Please respect copyright.PENANABwgWoeMCkN
270Please respect copyright.PENANAuwT0QaxBEZ
跟自己在一起的時候,杜若雖然也都是很開朗的模樣,但卻從來沒有顯得這麼情緒高漲過。270Please respect copyright.PENANA4eRVkIHjfd
270Please respect copyright.PENANAjfVKKnogzJ
果然,杜若還是跟自己這種個性的人合不來吧。270Please respect copyright.PENANAo34L1U9o4F
270Please respect copyright.PENANAiGVAXc4bIp
明明是很簡單明瞭的事實,但想到這點、紫藤卻還是不禁為此感到幾分消沉。270Please respect copyright.PENANAx8n7Gm5kao
270Please respect copyright.PENANAWAM80SdeH1
「是說,很少看到紫藤同學跟大家在一起呢,平常紫藤同學下午都在做什麼呢?」270Please respect copyright.PENANAKow750ElZt
270Please respect copyright.PENANARq8BVKMyFK
而也不知道是察覺到紫藤格格不入的氛圍,本來也同樣看著聒噪兩人的白鵑,這時轉過頭來向紫藤這麼問道。270Please respect copyright.PENANAgCMccXmvNw
270Please respect copyright.PENANAhBQ2vj8jzh
紫藤收起心中的波動,稍微停下了手中的動作後才回答了白鵑。270Please respect copyright.PENANAfytCGKsneA
270Please respect copyright.PENANANnY5kW04Z0
「沒其他事的話,我都會到道場練習。」270Please respect copyright.PENANASwuGh8OEGO
270Please respect copyright.PENANAXdq3nxtZo2
「道場?」白鵑的語調隨著那半邊形狀漂亮的眉毛揚起。270Please respect copyright.PENANA5MxC9PxaSW

「該不會……是『榕』吧?」270Please respect copyright.PENANAjjx0FYLcSu
270Please respect copyright.PENANAdWdYh4zpBW
雖然鎮內的道場屈指可數,但白鵑的準確直覺還是讓紫藤吃了一驚。270Please respect copyright.PENANAP1IcIrRyuJ
270Please respect copyright.PENANAFMG7gEvOX7
「對、就是榕。」270Please respect copyright.PENANALFr5Hz9AfT
270Please respect copyright.PENANAaTaQqksdbD
「哇啊……那一定很辛苦吧……」白鵑扶著額頭、露出了既像是同情又像是深有同感的表情。270Please respect copyright.PENANA1W5KWUOpP2
270Please respect copyright.PENANATZWYGLQOsN
「別看我這樣,我小時候也有去練過一些防身術喔。」270Please respect copyright.PENANAetlZIGV7kZ
270Please respect copyright.PENANACX5OLHeLoa
經白鵑一說,紫藤的腦海中就迅速地閃過了某道畫面。270Please respect copyright.PENANA7TGn0ktgyK
270Please respect copyright.PENANAz8aiLLFE1c
「……我好像有點印象。」270Please respect copyright.PENANADQsuJ6CHUw
270Please respect copyright.PENANACHILR8THQs
「咦?可是那是我八歲時候的事了耶。」白鵑驚訝地兩眼一睜。270Please respect copyright.PENANAxkgJgxpcxH
270Please respect copyright.PENANAUzin2a523c
但在一閃而過的兒時記憶裡,紫藤確實在道場看過跟白鵑長得很像的女孩子。270Please respect copyright.PENANA2Ljcxp4YE4
270Please respect copyright.PENANAA5qzXKbPq8
「……應該就是那時候的事情吧。」270Please respect copyright.PENANAG47ilmPgtr
270Please respect copyright.PENANAw1rDKcovMZ
因為那時候紫藤才剛拜入道場,白鵑則是那時道場裡除了自己以外的唯一一個女生,所以紫藤特別印象深刻。270Please respect copyright.PENANAuOPK3xdDBw
270Please respect copyright.PENANAedDfgDt5mQ
不過不知道過了多久——好像只有一下子——紫藤就再也沒有看見白鵑出現在道場了。270Please respect copyright.PENANAktXbzlqlMS
270Please respect copyright.PENANAcSJuVSbiKS
「那時因為我完全撐不住爺爺的訓練,沒幾天就抱著柱子哭個不停……所以之後就都沒參加練習了。」白鵑邊說邊難為情地搓著髮尾,然後紅著臉笑了。270Please respect copyright.PENANA8yo8icHPuw
270Please respect copyright.PENANAD3C0rQQLCj
這麼說起來,白鵑的祖父似乎就是館主白楊師父。只是白楊師父鮮少提起自己的家人,也從未在白鵑家的診所露過臉,讓紫藤差點就把這件事忘在了記憶的角落。270Please respect copyright.PENANAo498eX3EoQ
270Please respect copyright.PENANA07STP8GUmo
「原來紫藤同學從那時候就在了啊,能夠持續這麼久,紫藤同學真的很厲害呢!」270Please respect copyright.PENANAPppxu5iThZ
270Please respect copyright.PENANA2pHkurfOiH
白鵑讚嘆地誇獎,但紫藤卻只是淡淡地吐出一口長氣。270Please respect copyright.PENANAeZuL9TTPoV
270Please respect copyright.PENANA7KV8KwZK9Z
「……也不是什麼值得驕傲的事。」270Please respect copyright.PENANANOkjdaj3G8
270Please respect copyright.PENANAX89ZdnHA4F
說穿了,支撐著自己去練習的動力從來就只是為了復仇、僅此而已。但是這些練習至今都還見不到成效,所以也沒什麼好拿出來說嘴的。270Please respect copyright.PENANAW9YjGxi0sb
270Please respect copyright.PENANAjam7neD3gN
「這樣啊……」270Please respect copyright.PENANAQtGuu13a9t
270Please respect copyright.PENANAMXQNZdHgfl
對紫藤表現的冷淡,白鵑似乎會錯了意。270Please respect copyright.PENANAADv816gzSx
270Please respect copyright.PENANAiTzfbwiGFZ
「紫藤同學的爸媽肯定也很嚴格吧。」270Please respect copyright.PENANAj8Bn5P7Lju
270Please respect copyright.PENANAEISupsTVW7
這句話,令紫藤斂起了眼神。270Please respect copyright.PENANAqGdb8eWU32
270Please respect copyright.PENANA9ioHa3tUpT
「我沒見過爸爸、媽媽也很早就過世了。」270Please respect copyright.PENANA93vJmjHCn4
270Please respect copyright.PENANAjpcn8hpI39
白鵑瞬間僵住了表情。270Please respect copyright.PENANA7E0iZhMPvJ
270Please respect copyright.PENANAZUnY2A83VF
有關母親的記憶,早在八年前的那一個夜晚、就全部凝結不前了。而在紫藤的記憶中,更從來就不存在過名為父親的身影。270Please respect copyright.PENANAwxdXXMlHkm
270Please respect copyright.PENANAN45kjEWKds
「……對不起,我太不謹慎了。」說完後,白鵑閉起眼、低下了頭。270Please respect copyright.PENANAyu3l7gThm7
270Please respect copyright.PENANAoyVzoYyXpc
「不會。」270Please respect copyright.PENANAJHbaGuxNy1
270Please respect copyright.PENANAE1HP0Kn6sl
紫藤本就不曾向同輩提過自己的家庭背景,所以並不認為白鵑有哪裡失禮。270Please respect copyright.PENANA77MHysvOsU
270Please respect copyright.PENANAbSj0sdiVjk
反倒是白鵑能夠像這樣輕易地放下身段道歉,也是讓紫藤認為十分大器的一點。270Please respect copyright.PENANA9YFXWW7R6E
270Please respect copyright.PENANAwzF6Y4jRjp
「紫藤同學很堅強呢。」270Please respect copyright.PENANAiIqVcTvXNX
270Please respect copyright.PENANAc89xJAbfIp
白鵑用那淺色的雙眼看向紫藤,語氣中帶著幾絲欽佩。270Please respect copyright.PENANAFblsocDN5j
270Please respect copyright.PENANALIumgvpYv2
「如果我是紫藤同學的話,肯定沒辦法自己好好地活下去吧……所以、我覺得紫藤同學很了不起喔。」270Please respect copyright.PENANAMCl8WcF03j
270Please respect copyright.PENANA7b1AfnigcH
這樣的視線讓紫藤下意識地想要迴避。因此紫藤沒有回答,僅僅只是別過臉啜飲起手中的果汁。270Please respect copyright.PENANAzNrP1FWVTt
270Please respect copyright.PENANAEbqRfsc7WQ
自己能活到現在也充其量只是運氣好罷了,跟堅不堅強沒有半點關係。在鎮裡的大家其實都是如此,並不是因為堅強而活了下來,而是為了活下來才不得不堅強。270Please respect copyright.PENANATYxbQgkc8Q
270Please respect copyright.PENANAFbFRrnrmFM
說到底,這樣的白鵑或許才是值得被羨慕的一方。270Please respect copyright.PENANAYu7uOsvyjK
270Please respect copyright.PENANAb7HBAyxAo8
但紫藤沒有把話說出口,而白鵑也沒有延續話題,只是伸手夾起了肉丸放進嘴裡。270Please respect copyright.PENANAgIp9XJrfjL
270Please respect copyright.PENANAH3OYKYYKxw
「啊、那是我要的耶!」突然,雛菊看著白鵑放進嘴裡的最後一顆肉丸大喊。270Please respect copyright.PENANAzQVfuw2Z4Q
270Please respect copyright.PENANAdY82ry1V2y
「哼、誰叫妳動作那麼慢。」白鵑故作不理睬地別過臉。然而在偷偷地覷了雛菊一眼後,卻還是把視線轉了回來。270Please respect copyright.PENANAKTat15nE9x
270Please respect copyright.PENANAl33YOuJyX9
「喏。」270Please respect copyright.PENANAKNODs8Ch88
270Please respect copyright.PENANAwQPkclOQwV
隨著白鵑的一聲輕喊,雛菊便湊了過去將白鵑手上剩下一半的肉丸給叼了過去。270Please respect copyright.PENANAjVSVlRoND2
270Please respect copyright.PENANAFTfvh11fXC
「嘻嘻,我就知道鵑人最好了~」嚥下肉丸後,雛菊便心滿意足地笑了。270Please respect copyright.PENANAGMwsoAgcss
270Please respect copyright.PENANA91a7j2XJOl
「真是的……」白鵑受不了似地嘆了口氣。270Please respect copyright.PENANANJYtJsZUrS
270Please respect copyright.PENANAHy9bamttm2
白鵑跟雛菊似乎是從小到大就一直在一起的朋友,不只是現在、在紫藤的印象當中上學時兩人就總是形影不離。270Please respect copyright.PENANAzO39p7oEgL
270Please respect copyright.PENANAWG91xngyhr
紫藤叼著筷子、靜靜地看著兩人的互動,晚了半晌才注意到自己身旁的視線。270Please respect copyright.PENANAVkWDwSHmDv
270Please respect copyright.PENANAxWOG0h9rM1
「……怎麼了?」270Please respect copyright.PENANA7g5dNq65No
270Please respect copyright.PENANACgDBGMUIAz
「……啊!」被紫藤一問、杜若才突然驚醒似地大叫了一聲,隨後別開視線搖了搖頭。270Please respect copyright.PENANApVSrG1lc2M
270Please respect copyright.PENANAaDfMUDHsDT
「沒有、沒有喔。」杜若露出一抹與平常不同的淡笑。接著忽然像想到什麼似地夾起一朵香菇,遞到了紫藤的眼前。270Please respect copyright.PENANAwpScmfAqmg
270Please respect copyright.PENANAeuhCaW5JaA
「喏,紫藤要吃嗎?」270Please respect copyright.PENANAwV5QrQidaE
270Please respect copyright.PENANAzQos1iY2Xu
這突然的舉動讓紫藤有些疑惑,但還是應了一聲後就伸手夾去了。270Please respect copyright.PENANAdJ7JLlbOnM
270Please respect copyright.PENANANMqc8dN4ja
「——咦?」杜若就好像沒有預料到紫藤會這麼做似地瞪大眼睛。270Please respect copyright.PENANAUWiiuoAdsO
270Please respect copyright.PENANA8l5i4SjOUn
眼看紫藤就要把香菇給放進嘴裡,杜若連忙叫住了紫藤。270Please respect copyright.PENANAMElPB3xkjP
270Please respect copyright.PENANA7OaWUZQqZJ
「等、等一下、不是那樣啦!」270Please respect copyright.PENANARajy0ePNDJ
270Please respect copyright.PENANANr4etjTQSD
紫藤停下動作,費解地回望杜若。270Please respect copyright.PENANAsQHgimFNhY
270Please respect copyright.PENANAMdalu4Kc7Q
「唔……」杜若有苦難言似地垂下腦袋,可是紫藤仍然還是一頭霧水。270Please respect copyright.PENANA2tldM8N83w
270Please respect copyright.PENANAQAWYCw0Cvn
尤其看見對面的雛菊一副發現了新奇東西似的表情,讓原本就完全在狀況外的紫藤這下是又更摸不著頭緒了。270Please respect copyright.PENANA3in320b4l3
270Please respect copyright.PENANAhmedMcp6E2
「唔……重來!重來一次!」270Please respect copyright.PENANAJD4qfEzSsg
270Please respect copyright.PENANA3UrQWaD4M7
杜若再次抬起頭看著紫藤大喊道。接著又伸長了手夾起一道菜遞到自己眼前。270Please respect copyright.PENANAiFiDKgstd8
270Please respect copyright.PENANAPTRTUZMJXG
「喏,紫藤給妳~」270Please respect copyright.PENANAOYPyewnfOU
270Please respect copyright.PENANAnnhmOfNtQN
面對意圖不明的杜若,這次紫藤沒有接過、只是嘆了口氣。270Please respect copyright.PENANAerWnh2syFS
270Please respect copyright.PENANA4ZeT9bd4Fj
「我自己來就可以了。」270Please respect copyright.PENANA7sEhZmzqfa
270Please respect copyright.PENANArbwbcOCuNy
「可、可是我已經夾好了嘛!」杜若鬧彆扭般地說著,不停地讓夾著香菇的手往紫藤的嘴巴靠近。270Please respect copyright.PENANAJG6ukhYUq8
270Please respect copyright.PENANArSrB0bDM13
聽見另一頭的竊笑聲,紫藤才想到……杜若該不會是想有樣學樣吧?270Please respect copyright.PENANA9HRvWYmf0o
270Please respect copyright.PENANA4E7hZJxMl6
紫藤是管不了別人,但自己可不是小孩了,要別人餵自己吃東西也未免……更何況現在還有雛菊跟白鵑在場。270Please respect copyright.PENANAKTbtE3W9wW
270Please respect copyright.PENANArWHyN5P0Ij
然而、紫藤卻拿一個勁地想餵自己的杜若一點辦法也沒有。270Please respect copyright.PENANA6Zr4lQilFc
270Please respect copyright.PENANAKZwFf7josM
而且在她們兩個面前要是太在意……好像才顯得更幼稚。270Please respect copyright.PENANAtA4ACnc5hD
270Please respect copyright.PENANAIdhpE9dV3A
猶豫了幾秒鐘後,紫藤才撥起前髮、緩緩地將臉湊了過去——270Please respect copyright.PENANAy72OwqAiMg
270Please respect copyright.PENANA7MazrsiALu
「鵑!現在可以來幫忙嗎?」270Please respect copyright.PENANAOv6FsWo3S7
270Please respect copyright.PENANAiAOG1FZYc0
突然,大門伴隨著一道厚實的男聲被打了開來,紫藤嚇得立刻退開了身子、杜若更是都菜都掉到了桌上。270Please respect copyright.PENANA1anlM9VFcE
270Please respect copyright.PENANAmswgNfsxNM
「爸?怎麼了嗎?」270Please respect copyright.PENANA0YN0rz86JK
270Please respect copyright.PENANAJs0eOAMamR
只見披著白褂的白鵑爸爸滿頭大汗地在門前喘著氣,模樣簡直就像跑了好幾十層的樓梯一樣。270Please respect copyright.PENANAdfwuWvHrOV
270Please respect copyright.PENANAWtOQC5PZRr
白鵑爸爸掃視了客廳一圈,整理好呼吸說道:「不好意思打擾妳們了,但我現在需要人手。鵑,快來診所一趟。」270Please respect copyright.PENANAGgdonbVh25
270Please respect copyright.PENANAZSqveKZkCk
面對父親的命令,白鵑雖然瞬間顯露出了難色,但在看了杜若跟紫藤一眼後,也只能無奈地閉起雙眼。270Please respect copyright.PENANAIac2oyweoe
270Please respect copyright.PENANACalaJ1rS7c
「……我知道了。」白鵑失落地擱下筷子。270Please respect copyright.PENANAqSPjBFGY4l
270Please respect copyright.PENANA9V55jUIbT7
「對不起,但爸爸那邊需要幫忙了。沒能讓妳們好好吃一頓飯真的很不好意思。」白鵑發自內心感到抱歉地對兩人低頭道歉,接著打直了身子。270Please respect copyright.PENANACtw1725uI1
270Please respect copyright.PENANAkBe3ljqc7d
「鵑,我也一起去。」雛菊也露出嚴肅的神情跟著白鵑站了起來。270Please respect copyright.PENANAfJ60lz9t7K
270Please respect copyright.PENANAAXy7uoRGJp
「東西我回來再收就可以了,杜若同學、紫藤同學……真的很對不起。」270Please respect copyright.PENANASYdaIZEV3p
270Please respect copyright.PENANANEEoXWDIAG
帶著兩人走出房門後,白鵑再次對兩人鞠躬致歉,隨後便跟著雛菊匆忙地跑了出去。午餐時間就這麼突然地被結束,讓杜若跟紫藤一時間只能在原地發愣。270Please respect copyright.PENANAQaJFdCMeU9
270Please respect copyright.PENANAQAfUGvojvd
「我們……要不要也去幫忙呀?」杜若看著兩人遠去的身影,對著紫藤問道。270Please respect copyright.PENANAx5xThU2PyZ
270Please respect copyright.PENANAWeYxrWsfUe
「……我們去也幫不上什麼忙吧。」270Please respect copyright.PENANAhUz39ED6kD
270Please respect copyright.PENANAvrLK09Zkl6
醫院的工作不僅繁忙,還需要不少的知識、膽量跟體力才得以勝任,可不是兩個外行人能夠隨便插手的。270Please respect copyright.PENANAdYp2cXxCoy
270Please respect copyright.PENANAReZZVh47WY
況且,醫院是拯救生命的場所,和現在兩人在一起的目的相比、簡直就如油與水般無法相融。270Please respect copyright.PENANAjVetMVZYNP
270Please respect copyright.PENANA3Vf5WGLGCk
但紫藤並不希望成為溫柔的水。270Please respect copyright.PENANAYwhrMwHLfE
270Please respect copyright.PENANAWvjF00YnEr
在這張無形的膜的另一側,能夠與自己相融的、也許只剩下身旁的杜若了吧。270Please respect copyright.PENANAtmj2V6asiY
270Please respect copyright.PENANA65Y8eNugU3
紫藤默默地心想。
