迴響的隆隆聲如同夢境般遠去。336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4D6YMzcfRP
336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDAA8SjkGIR
從開出的小縫裡，一道狹窄的光切開了無邊無際的黑暗。336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO54nlWYgfl
336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuWI1JhTV6f
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。336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ7hC0keix7
336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIPDIYX3mzR
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。336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVB2XPmkz4Q
336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOaoV0Sgmcz
連沙華會都靜謐下來，就代表連凌晨也快要結束了吧。336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbQObOOOgxD
336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡihCMvwKDsd
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。336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtlNqEBQ0Nd
336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL7bFPywt6O
「走吧。我們一起回去。」336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjsZkpfAqST
336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCzcxbhGE4n
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。336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKJdV4fgC8N
336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqzj7HfkKdB
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。336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWSfdfZdfzd
336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCeFBCoHFwz
為了處理傷口，杜若讓紫藤靠到了床板上頭。336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS7uKPm1Jyc
336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRQjXbgGEfS
「嗚……！」336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnrc4yUg4kx
336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTaHNuovbbY
消毒藥水碰到傷口的劇痛，讓紫藤吃痛地叫出悶聲。336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXdkEwGdgA1
336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5S9kkNM4ey
「很痛嗎……？」杜若停下動作，擔憂地看向紫藤。336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUoGzTqJKc7
336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZXML6KNBnn
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。336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDSpU45p0Ij
336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiLreimDZ0q
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。336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡub8LiJvpXJ
336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjbVlZtLUNS
「……我還可以忍。」說完，紫藤打直手臂。336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWrG2v627fo
336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡStb36vewym
杜若點點頭，卻宛如做錯了事一般地垂下眼簾。336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4ZvrvTUnLT
336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyjTceGqpDH
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。336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn8tsQCDQTo
336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ82Q0S27Q5p
「那、再忍耐一下就好。」336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKpKcG6JWkB
336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvjwHfDUEiy
「呼、呼……嗚——！」336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡckxcjw6EDk
336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN3vOQIn36r
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。336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiqF0bN2Pjy
336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAyNjh8zVzx
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。336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1zjoSYDkRw
336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsVaD8TKzr2
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。336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOY95wQyfAA
336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrV2XwVgfUS
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。336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuhZ3JzdTDg
336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8zyAfSNrjA
「還要喝嗎？」杜若捧著還有一半的水杯，輕柔地問。336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGPbfErhy0U
336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsHwaQsBzW3
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。336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHQ2WP9mMIg
336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4GfoqiAoTQ
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。336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuOsvhWbWY5
336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwLCsIvyRa8
「……謝謝。」336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGBey5Jbvbn
336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgyeFpS0loQ
「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。336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkhXSE1cDIn
336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJbKoigFYIk
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。336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxIvRKAg8Yr
336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEYx5DlF1VN
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。336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKMoCqji9CG
336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTEPD4Mv5im
不過，這無疑都是事實。336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFVCA8CCjQL
336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3IrzCcM5ft
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。336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo7QjJvO8i6
336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡApifpYp6X5
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。336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7r6OrZhMSe
336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5bj4aKy4JK
「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。336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZoaHaqfSHu
336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlbY6UU4yIj
沉默了半晌，紫藤才慢慢地開口。336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2CyCNYYOfc
336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqXnNW7nxoh
「是我媽媽的遺物。」336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1JJ8l2SSe7
336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpMNo5R5FTk
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。336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaZjNjNanG2
336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFRyVJ0XHPD
「咦……？那為什麼會在墨駒的手裡呀？」杜若不假思索地問道。336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡadnVj6aHDR
336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnL6lYhICZS
「我也不知道。」紫藤搖搖頭，黯然地闔上雙眼。336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNQuXqV8M5D
336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNcz4bujnWl
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。336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3FWTDiJecz
336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfpOMZisUVf
「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：336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdGvAuTyM1W
336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlfAsVQSKXn
「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。」336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGNAo4cv4iY
336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDTiiXx702q
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。336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbr6TVmiPlS
336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVeEOtSR2uh
「這就是那時候、他們從媽媽的身上搶走的東西之一。」336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIpmwbPzez8
336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH1L9oJZJzu
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。336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOXiIdjFm3y
336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP3hgH2yOqT
從那時起，濺在臉上的那朵紅花就已經在紫藤的心頭生根。336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkRpamE0VdM
336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl8yobOPpY8
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。336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2ip4bhTB1O
336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0DU5RYYPlM
「原來……這是對紫藤來說這麼重要的東西啊。」336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkVOYsKPlSM
336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp118yOJqlB
「嗯。」紫藤在胸前連同戒指握緊了拳頭。336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ683kmtvQ2d
336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡisayYUR9bb
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。336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKIdR8z1NqA
336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfJJ6vyaK5z
自己已經不想要再失去任何東西了。336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE07zE5FgS6
336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡybQl1a6fha
「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。336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡspYw4YTLwz
336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbvZIApId3u
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。336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ88jp6QtoJZ
336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXYtu5RBDlh
「媽媽他——」336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9lsuoMG0kc
336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡloSJ1l522s
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。336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcZTiLIJR2I
336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPLibeRFdg5
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」。336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyoyi51DCH4
336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0JR7dIBJhz
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。336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCGMyemhoPs
336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOx1sMdfKWi
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。336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZZ8jrT6zZi
336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA8bSYazFRV
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。336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEDe4n7bRle
336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPZ38Zs3S0y
但紫藤一點都不喜歡學校。336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEUp3M4rzAw
336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTlobQNWHNW
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。336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcZi5TNIweP
336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZwkCdKEf9y
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。336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX2J6UBT7wW
336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnIjWTdyeNR
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。336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuHyhdCfovx
336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMhUCzBo27n
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。336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRkKAq0E0vx
336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB5Sx1KMDV0
嗯，這樣就夠了。那時的紫藤只有這麼單純的滿足。336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnqLkMVtxng
336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKWHMoZ8zPV
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。336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQrRyUnI4zP
336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡooXf3CmUh3
那是一起倒塌事件。336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsY7Jea3TjJ
336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuY4GfPzO3V
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。336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcMavfEUuQ5
336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHkzBiF4WE9
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。336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVOgSgLNsA9
336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQk6jRGz0Gm
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。336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuDbcdfEESp
336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡta6aN2eboC
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。336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfJExv6T1Zs
336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvYofx8PT2s
「……我會找到給墨駒這個戒指的人。」336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrwQgHKVywn
336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDBppPSckI2
收起回憶，紫藤再次握緊了戒指。336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTVoD3Hfkaa
336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHjPMrvhRWH
「然後，殺了他。」336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡULvUmMZqTj
336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8nxs16LfpF
紫藤的眼神猶如熾火，沒有一分一毫的搖曳。336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt2SgJE0pZv
336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfdvLm5TMdv
但只不過幾秒，便很快地萎靡了下來。336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1QVtt0v61H
336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO2rGTpbduE
「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。」336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0JfejBQmdt
336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKu3pqwxazQ
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。336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ36mYOd99Fx
336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡICFScpk39F
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。336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIzGBT59WYj
336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPN7OzpL0F6
「原來、這就是紫藤想要跟我一起行動的原因呀。」336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI6sOUcKEl8
336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe91GX96euj
「……嗯。」336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEMHvG7CTtC
336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxsNiFBm2qU
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。336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5jKtIV9ScO
336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqDctluTV8t
紫藤深信，這就是自己向那些骯髒禽獸復仇的楔子。336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYD9gh7xA1n
336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1mRWw5n2gF
這就是足以斬斷自己心頭那朵紅花的白刃。336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6CvcRyyZwv
336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDU5boXqsf3
「……杜若妳呢？」336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdJv3H9BEX7
336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsl3NMXSgrH
紫藤拾起快要滿溢的情感，回望了杜若那如新月般的雙眸。336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1vdcDMN11X
336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvHA1JYDCFj
「又是為什麼……會開始當殺手？」336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSwALlJNyl8
336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh2iC0UZgfS
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。336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcqBVGSH5JN
336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF1CIifKpDo
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。336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡda6J4aRLBb
336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkajEH1vFUL
「紫藤……不會生氣吧？」336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGFu6sVVbvQ
336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUVCnwDM6D9
杜若果然還在意著那時自己的衝動。336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqdNqtct219
336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsjRiS2rW3O
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。336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu7yoAfbBAV
336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjZ3gMmplet
「不會。」紫藤堅定地說：「我保證。」336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfBJhUvcgZO
336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4B6DaWfueA
等到紫藤緩緩收起手後，杜若才按著胸口，下定決心地開口。336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡebZKjX3yWw
336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ37n3mE3oqo
「……我想要救陶壺叔。」336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd1Ci2bLD5a
336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOf76olTz8W
杜若喃喃吐出的回答令紫藤感到十分意外。336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGr0cj2X5m1
336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZVZQex9mZo
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？336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHBDKRbJQtt
336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡin4r51Imnb
就好像發現了紫藤的疑惑，杜若幽幽地繼續說道：336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡISY1ch8VD9
336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkqHlnDjQF6
「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。」336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8NJGaoNkw7
336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7JJus9sSm3
全身慢慢就會不能動的病？336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmav3rmkEqq
336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuhEaAbn0np
這種病紫藤是頭一次聽見。336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUVczoJWL6B
336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡooq92QGiFK
「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。」336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSENG4wpLOv
336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNPOMxbdO4M
「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。336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHgXEVbVagz
336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsGSE3Z1VEJ
「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。」336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL0KYIoW7S0
336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUBcXfqJJMb
杜若的笑只看得見無力。336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwwLzb3sOzZ
336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqGPJRwASKB
「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。」336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEvguy4smJ0
336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWCO06ywsPH
到這裡，杜若便沒有繼續說下去了。336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx96Nid2Ayv
336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ3Z10l8gh4
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。336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNhMZXGdyZX
336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZW15qXIwr6
然而，紫藤卻忍不住想要質疑的念頭。336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTHf9D8QM8r
336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8mRYrttY0y
「那個狐狸、真的就這麼值得相信嗎？」336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy8S1bgzguN
336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM0miABfyFb
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。336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeBorWRuqvY
336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM4CFmQJdK5
「……狐狸一直都對我很好呀。」336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ8DbRgpPIj
336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLG5xm5pM9b
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。336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOi5OMi6WEX
336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsoTtEV9cag
「所以，我還是相信狐狸。」336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK3hAq8DCrY
336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf4IqcBoBvE
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。336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGihdkiUKEJ
336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbJzmLBB9Wv
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。336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx51M4IByp6
336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuQpdgBz5UW
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。336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb1Gt3RBWCW
336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp2Hktwfpv3
哪怕、就算那道光芒是朝自己射出的子彈也一樣。336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYNRujiQN5Y
336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOvUFqcou94
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？336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMAaPB9MQvl

這怎麼可能。336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ52Kt3LiHgV
336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxTy1wEj0kz
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。336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVoJOb6eqIS
336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGyJpQOiZOr
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。336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH0p2AcNzgV
336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOhYUPFOdT4
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。336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0L3lu66J1H
336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVqk1DUcUsB
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。336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjXk1QsJkRr
336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMNUr3zh1PG
察覺到掌心的柔軟，杜若看著紫藤靦腆地一笑。336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8ZJNYIlomM
336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1DOv9Kcgeq
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336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhdMLNayS9i
336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpx10BXBMaJ
「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。336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrPUQJ7g3IP
336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCcK3QraZRM
「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！」336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFDCH5qMtZb
336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY2Jo5nOEhL
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。336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAGDLS2TLP3
336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPcJp2CAens
「不過，果然還是不能夠靠沙華會的人呢。」336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNGcGAKhnft
336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDr7pfoAj1j
經過剛才被反擊的經驗，讓兩人都對這點有了更多的共識。336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0OiJT2SZgn
336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOY0RNQTehR
說了句「話說回來」後，杜若就一轉話鋒、向紫藤問道：336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡidw9kkzVCF
336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ70LYiPSdSh
「紫藤想要殺掉的人又是誰呀？紫藤還記得嗎？」336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRJvs1mcxmn
336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVt6pofLn6G
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。336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡny2IdVOGhF
336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcd6gdIdvAa
「是一個……在脖子後面紋著白色線條的沙華會紋身的人。」336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡReaDNmXCo7
336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX9Y33LZ1VA
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。336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU5fmxxfjLW
336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPxZy0FPcBt
「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。」336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjU7LiOngy7
336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡry0dfm7soD
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。336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgcZGFKIeBf
336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs2GvujFLY8
「這樣的話，我也來幫忙吧！」杜若自告奮勇地舉高手：336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrSId5poGOD
336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlKdT5oZqiT
「兩個人一起找絕對比較快的！」336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeNFwXjLEOP
336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDFHrJFMWxY
杜若的模樣、讓紫藤晚了一步才發現自己說錯了話。336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZyzIoyiEeo
336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO3HpRlndAA
紫藤默默地低下頭、沉聲回答。336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡflZ8r3wJgZ
336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrkz1qkdcQb
「……不用那樣。我……我自己就夠了。」336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrr8ZYKrxqU
336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtAolx2JbR9
這冷淡的回答讓杜若頓時像被潑了水的貓咪似地一愣。336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSlDapEuRGt
336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzEqWcNd9BB
「可是、紫藤不是說到現在都……」336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM23A9cT5yH
336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIbrDo1qX3x
「這本來就是我自己的事。」336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJlRLCaSZdf
336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2MSsilUw1d
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。336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBop3ZSXU3g
336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFUMjyD91JR
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。336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaIieMSdRKM
336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTLEvg08A0e
「那要是紫藤遇到危險怎麼辦！」倏地，杜若站起身、提高音量336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM2iX0nsn1R
336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1Dc8jmWWBc
「我就是為了保護自己，才會去學習要怎麼搏鬥。」336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlW4S0lCv20
336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO5sFQlcKWx
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。336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT7tlOJm4Gl
336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpwpsZuL54b
「可是、假如對方有槍、假如遇到像今天一樣的事……」336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlhlMt27D0l
336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp3DFGQeDhz
「我是不會讓自己被殺死的。」336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwX0I5afIYL
336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcJQHDOyT5N
「紫藤明明就傷成這樣、還說這種話……！」336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE5Sgul9PcP
336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHevNemUeMJ
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。336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaOVeHVkKaO
336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyDn82BRXFo
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。336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNaGSr9xiwt
336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6z6VzDbOLq
杜若雖然想甩開，但卻在一半就失去了力氣。336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfBAEpCuBKF
336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKcccJBu4vN
「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……」336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCoFzUBe9i4
336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfxsWytZOiN
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。336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy7YAFZbDkv
336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUMRJ5Ozm4S
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？336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡceLKBCwDER
336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQF7m8P7g2h
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。336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnRKH5lL7ZK
336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKoawkQDzNP
最後，紫藤還是用了奸詐的說法。336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡezFHlHqKYN
336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjfTBg8p22K
「我跟陶壺叔約定過，說不會讓妳受傷了。」336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpHTtpcJOMk
336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdd79Xjw7pE
「那難道紫藤要我看著妳受傷嗎？」336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJN3BNflwbH
336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPBL28RVcrN
雖然夾雜著鼻音、但這句話卻如此強而有力。336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrqGAlKvemu
336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1G46GTp71i
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。336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwyIB2k8yMr
336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxxV6kKT6eq
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。336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTz4EMrDrAY
336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡljMtL6Mc8G
而紫藤打算再在杜若的身上再添一層相同的痛苦嗎？336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhL9V7S6cQO
336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡALV16iqXyM
紫藤無法回答，只是沉默地別開了視線。336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9eUNFQ8hnA
336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA0Aor0f0Zd
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？336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGZmwOXnjcH
336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtcrojH8OS8
哪條路都是崎嶇，哪條路也都是痛苦。336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ901whzITRI
336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDWUzRg55jC
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？336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBsBw2otr33
336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjEYeLaqHBR
只因為就連接受也是痛苦吧。336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMe4xeni1y2
336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw0IToL4SXh
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？336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtDcU6g95dx
336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLCY8i5VxnT
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。336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmdmpBbwicA
336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfNcNWJpNrb
思及至此，紫藤才慢慢地放鬆了手中的力道。336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRP2JiGDRUP
336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGfBUinPCsP
「答應我、要先保護好妳自己。」336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYze19Hvuxq
336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡigaD8a1J5B
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。336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwa3wdpbVmM
336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOfwvPJk4t9
「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。336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbzwPthhetq
336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyBHBqUfh4r
「所以，我的份就用來保護紫藤吧！」336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBOtQpSbqi6
336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD9JuG8Dsbb
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。336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2JKxPO2wKF
336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDlRuy0liut
「喔喔！紫藤笑了耶！」336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOtzzgyIfWM
336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM8SJMIk9ux
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。336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZuE3hHlx3R
336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ21yD9IGgDl
「哇啊啊——！對不起！」杜若立刻慌張地放下手來。336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpQGk7G3qKP
336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqFYeZZ2W5x
疼痛雖然還沒散去，但紫藤還是發自內心地笑了。336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFZ013z7b4q
336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIvEPgHqk4Y
「……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？」336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡklHez0Q2gf
336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzl5WxQQaAV
「咦？」這提議讓紫藤也感到意外地眨了眨眼。336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD5D7t1weoR
336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnsq1DM6j2U
「雖然是我自己猜的……不過狐狸應該很擅長找人吧。」336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6oPCbXbUwl
336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvx15bzzIEq
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。336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr3krKw1EdT
336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4Ubhj5lDY5
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。336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkG3ANcCWWE
336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7AmPkyinv7
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。336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ88IbR1Oq7P
336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ81ixkteTEM
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？336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRey5VwnBB1
336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQRK1OBiIZw
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？336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcTO9D4iMFk
336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBbiDWIJ5up
「那……可以幫我跟狐狸說說看嗎？」336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWlTbmNmgdY
336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrGXcEtDVGk
「當然呀，這是我提議的嘛～」杜若自信地抱起手臂、挺起胸膛。336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvmx5ycvzSr
336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ22vEf5CtRn
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。336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCmCraMzLH3
336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ35CIISBwY5
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。336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaWT4hROHy6
336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeFoWMdVREw
「妳的傷……換我幫妳吧。」336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuPos6VMy88
336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZEGeL47BVI
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。336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmZh0AXxkPK
336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTcBzISMhNJ
「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。336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpu7qIdCkRx
336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2nzxWNoCnQ
「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。336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRs1OQfnqCK
336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡym60c7EuPn
「撕得開來嗎？」杜若看著紫藤有些僵硬的動作，有所顧慮地問。336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr9mgsOKgvG
336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhd1qW1lDJI
「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。336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIik1wEdfSt
336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnAtCdEqL8c
「……好了。換膝蓋吧。」336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFlAL6x8slo
336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuz0TnhEu3N
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。336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡagnnW6vcDv
336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbbLi6QVKdv
「我臉上有什麼嗎？」紫藤不解地偏過頭。336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7nmWBgl1dl
336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG60zdfS3xA
「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：336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbkKXCpFXjr
336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMdHfqW2z46
「只是覺得紫藤認真的模樣……果然好帥喔。」336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ00bvSLRCC0
336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2By7z85WXt
突如其來的稱讚，令紫藤頓時耳根一熱。336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmvT5fWRIXQ
336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6rj1fs8wVI
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？336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡytgIHmBNm2
336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFKbMqw63Vu
「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：336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeJHAvcITco
336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcrCA3YVUdV
「謝謝……」336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAKihAR6bCq
336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJwoxz55whf
「嗯？」336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAHJKgCztHZ
336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnlE0LDUZcn
「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……！」336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHafZJFnWQf
336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA00dRFWx4p
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。336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMDuhFlOlqx
336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZsh3fpAEcS
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。336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8dddrLNLi3
336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQcblCn0Rzd
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。336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ48trXpuPJD
336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv8AF0xYL4n
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。336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡawsGUT2IfO
336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFV61CKJ5Ti
「稍微……稍微彎起來一點。」336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTGqlyeZlsK
336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU5LtTjR7IL
「這樣？」336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqS1uJQJWux
336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPsd2cdHYlI
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。336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlwV3NGltRO
336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBA2EM1aAUX
「……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。336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDjl6dKrPlR
336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoeWqgZ2HFX
於是紫藤收起醫療用品，起身將箱子放回原位。336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdUZWIZS6Ri
336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBoudqtK13I
「對了，剛才紫藤提到的事件……」336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBaQvaUjyFT
336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZFjlA461sY
就在要踏出房門的時候，杜若忽然想到了什麼似地開了口。336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhxKa5wEECU
336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4cHIP7I1Uj
「事件、是倒塌事件嗎？」336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8ToGxl2mSW
336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVjMxIoJBSN
「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。336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkrXRImdg76
336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHWyOreNHsC
「怎麼了嗎？」看見杜若的模樣，令紫藤擔心地走了回去。336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB3qFY1wPt6
336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFD750mqIXS
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。336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWXxPlgmBAd
336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfnMwnOb68z
「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！」336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsqeaDC4Sh5
336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJcBVCHOk5K
紫藤雖然感到疑惑，卻還是沒有多問地走出了房間。336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmJzGQQ3E6L
336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu95GFUjatF
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。336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuQDN3Z3DJy
336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5Av2n3r7Nq
「我們……好像弄錯順序了耶。」336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYy0yFSGAqm
336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6l8pDYuu2h
「……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。336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1FSQdwicr4
336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo8tpiWP4Hu
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。336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBkrZqekWZl
336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNi5ilRcmsY
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。336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNwGXaTsCZk
336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡisc6qHr5kt
「紫藤需要我幫忙嗎？」336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoCiAQcALN6
336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDQPn2ZROv6
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。336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhHjRLC5hFX
336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBB0VhGC0DD
「我、我自己來就可以了……」336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUzB1kTcAtW
336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUtVhy1MSwb
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。336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa4y4BX0g8h
336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjDyM469EOw
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。336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP4TghYnVvl
336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJy9jiHO9aJ
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。336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4ELn9L1lfJ
336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0Qm5XCwNjq
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。336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDffAPHgjhV
336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhOht6s3sT3
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。336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡum9NnqjNko
336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVEdearH0Gw
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？336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeet8wLWBPH

「……紫藤。」336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFdZXyZ8GiE
336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT8qqdsXwIx
「怎麼了？」336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡesoNlfUxQV
336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4DIAMP2yun
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。336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc2RpbyzIAM
336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGhKQFp4IDU
「紫藤說、會一直在我身邊……我可以相信紫藤吧？」336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFFUDVIOnsj
336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ6zVrGUwnH
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。336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcajCUgSdUh
336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9K3sblcE2I
紫藤伸出手輕蓋在了杜若的後腦，卻沒有辦法就這麼點頭。336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxYqLY8lnQL
336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0xcxThGtF5
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？336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUSVFH3Em8N
336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZo8YiBcpEh
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。336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV7CrOu8RTA
336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcvtVB6oHhe
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。336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5dSJdvuI6N
336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxP8LQoUSR6
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？336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ430QZQySuw
336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0IHmlpZwu4
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。336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmN7Zcg3w18
336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBPuoBRyLcC
不過紫藤現在就在這裡。336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtWzamPeFUk
336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1446Xcw5Z2
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。336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhTRQlbWOj5
336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX8wQY9tiJ9
於是、紫藤探出指頭，用指腹輕貼上了杜若的臉頰。336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2bAAgAjEYO
336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYcjvNMQXyj
「……我會試著做到的。」336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3OwsyMVcwT
336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyKrrpp6QFI
「什麼嘛……」聽見這不乾脆的回答，杜若便沒輒地笑了。336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu8u79gXTcW
336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZLnzd9hVIE
「不過……我相信紫藤喔。」336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVrmnxHLYSE
336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNk2JcUofRn
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。336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgRDYuoOlIy
336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYFyOqDFq4x
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。336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡElUbzbWjUn
336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0ObxrYekrp
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。336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCp954aLJHY
336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ53HXEj1Qs9
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。336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJnVcgsluGQ
336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl9eaBBSBY4
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。336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtMfyEEH02Q
