迴響的隆隆聲如同夢境般遠去。295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1xU5EA7V0w
295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1Dq8Fk1vz2
從開出的小縫裡，一道狹窄的光切開了無邊無際的黑暗。295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPiKnAfK8iL
295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡymaZjtfmzM
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。295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgx8asHi14k
295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5SMPiDbnyI
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。295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6RPom0Y1PU
295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeFKLKzga5S
連沙華會都靜謐下來，就代表連凌晨也快要結束了吧。295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡffq7febMid
295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBUYDLX9g4n
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。295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO2CQrHa0uN
295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8Ml1UT9X7m
「走吧。我們一起回去。」295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw7r7CDGh5m
295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXtSwaQ3810
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。295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9r1mxGTlpA
295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw9u7ZErZ23
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。295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI1pcUKdM0t
295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGyneYm91Ty
為了處理傷口，杜若讓紫藤靠到了床板上頭。295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT6bJt9g5Xa
295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOJNUwsXXLc
「嗚……！」295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMkzUxThVjq
295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIIGBS1mIwL
消毒藥水碰到傷口的劇痛，讓紫藤吃痛地叫出悶聲。295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3o3MuOnooQ
295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY6LfAGVC7y
「很痛嗎……？」杜若停下動作，擔憂地看向紫藤。295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn5xBk5Q56H
295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5IHMKMPx2r
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。295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtXlw33y8Jy
295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqxRDU3zwoc
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。295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7eZzcZo9a8
295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDleiabrVaf
「……我還可以忍。」說完，紫藤打直手臂。295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOqdFoAeseW
295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwBjkOpqpJv
杜若點點頭，卻宛如做錯了事一般地垂下眼簾。295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLekmrwyvij
295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8NhUDLCxjz
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。295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaamBM2gNCk
295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBVjo3pjYs2
「那、再忍耐一下就好。」295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmjehz6Ia4C
295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI32N6bRXi3
「呼、呼……嗚——！」295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwO1jwdOxw7
295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtek5FQsVCM
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。295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgy3tqCDwB2
295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhtXlDBt767
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。295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSJb9wcTWGv
295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU114tjvQxm
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。295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4gaIeXTojE
295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCYh6jU3zpf
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。295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv2x9Qqu0nW
295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOcsAn9P9DV
「還要喝嗎？」杜若捧著還有一半的水杯，輕柔地問。295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnbtqzutlk1
295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXvK6PqX3vI
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。295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEhVILbr3jU
295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1NLPl0PsOA
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。295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRiJji9HG4Y
295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwxvydQmE80
「……謝謝。」295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUh7Dr9AWF9
295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡALIHQ4nZME
「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。295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0WjUNAYipp
295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLc1uYAQvWH
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。295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYi4PL2cEXU
295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVbWzuWDdYm
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。295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMsYmtRs0tJ
295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCUeXLdlpXp
不過，這無疑都是事實。295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGm4SSGujLg
295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXkS3EyncqR
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。295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvOOZzYp0Yg
295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMZEhSFcNZU
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。295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7rZTNQQafW
295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFtVcq9tLzR
「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。295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi38DScTAR8
295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4aF1yvvIlC
沉默了半晌，紫藤才慢慢地開口。295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9iTDMCOToj
295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUd7u2VbGXJ
「是我媽媽的遺物。」295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBsHZdLmayq
295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9zQb2AuAro
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。295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx4L7GnHkAx
295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYig9kG65AK
「咦……？那為什麼會在墨駒的手裡呀？」杜若不假思索地問道。295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbwm80JB4ge
295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiCxID4F3rb
「我也不知道。」紫藤搖搖頭，黯然地闔上雙眼。295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡreLS26FSCU
295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlztETIhrdq
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。295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh4Duu5za8d
295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgEZ5hDC2zj
「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：295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgNTfkJGvmX
295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiE75vLZLkd
「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。」295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC4UlPUZHDT
295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiQOWzQZWzM
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。295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcrY0KziioB
295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3YCoxfl2Vk
「這就是那時候、他們從媽媽的身上搶走的東西之一。」295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu9aVQJxgQL
295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL401FlnVvF
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。295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUQElMOc1WB
295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAeHQ6WTjnL
從那時起，濺在臉上的那朵紅花就已經在紫藤的心頭生根。295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡofyVx2uhln
295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwP1W6vV0Ql
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。295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7UmvRFG858
295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrAab3x85OK
「原來……這是對紫藤來說這麼重要的東西啊。」295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9gisj2EHjY
295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcJQIr5svtC
「嗯。」紫藤在胸前連同戒指握緊了拳頭。295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2Z34LyEKt7
295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrfUQlmVY8Y
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。295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAxUGjSy9Kv
295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKevt2cpjBt
自己已經不想要再失去任何東西了。295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSmUBHgt4J5
295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdDxp35tydD
「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。295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIR2Qw2A0sw
295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZH5dGgo91j
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。295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkdy9fmxFHE
295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQMTRxPLug9
「媽媽他——」295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZXuf0a34FS
295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx8d1iXejte
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。295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq2SlAtcFh9
295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ06weLmPWNQ
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」。295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnqygw4UFQV
295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuuA8PhOeer
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。295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡElpkPFLJQg
295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBizqEsNxSW
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。295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBHC9gQohl3
295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8p2sX3aqVY
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。295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvzqbjlHFEZ
295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbzUDxEtMcE
但紫藤一點都不喜歡學校。295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡng4XP9QU4S
295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXE1gfHLMtj
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。295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEce9CGzJCL
295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRfSwabD9rj
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。295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkn0nDyFYwv
295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyj68ZKxEHv
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。295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡobWH0D57JN
295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJvsYpt3BXp
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。295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqxD605gZNg
295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj5ARkYrIxr
嗯，這樣就夠了。那時的紫藤只有這麼單純的滿足。295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZIL8JQ3NfI
295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgB7hRhBjhe
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。295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb6H6cMSTwV
295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlPT4rHf2xN
那是一起倒塌事件。295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk4H7o4UdXN
295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ79PjIdJbv1
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。295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNgSAPXKHIW
295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgxxfu2D0XM
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。295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡle9qQRnDEX
295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2fYZmrjLJL
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。295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaHLbn3W3TL
295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmMLUZ1HgL4
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。295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1VXtelIP2h
295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSH4GqQvCZV
「……我會找到給墨駒這個戒指的人。」295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjwyBw8locT
295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKkOWV2qtDx
收起回憶，紫藤再次握緊了戒指。295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT70jNuUg7r
295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXcTulmAroX
「然後，殺了他。」295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbUwwOLKLNZ
295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAaPg5iROIo
紫藤的眼神猶如熾火，沒有一分一毫的搖曳。295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJgINt1Fo15
295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEPH6NDa9xL
但只不過幾秒，便很快地萎靡了下來。295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ65tjmSNbNM
295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtFLDxLZhal
「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。」295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiIUyPLpsx4
295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRQ27sFYHIq
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。295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5hVK2C52k7
295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYC9mMDkwrN
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。295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjQNtWIPxUu
295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTBDJ1f5Hxr
「原來、這就是紫藤想要跟我一起行動的原因呀。」295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqW1YEQDigO
295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTxcgUjUjeT
「……嗯。」295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMy87CX8J5M
295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡveTUEQQezo
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。295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW38S49t5s3
295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDTu7SsnK4t
紫藤深信，這就是自己向那些骯髒禽獸復仇的楔子。295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKJvpEuQEvc
295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPjd9Ocl9Eu
這就是足以斬斷自己心頭那朵紅花的白刃。295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7uPXTUNUoJ
295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAdfYexNU1X
「……杜若妳呢？」295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFu7bsI3obq
295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLi03YFkISX
紫藤拾起快要滿溢的情感，回望了杜若那如新月般的雙眸。295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxIkkmZdrno
295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTiOGPZolad
「又是為什麼……會開始當殺手？」295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCJNFRJpQLe
295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4w09AFIJcs
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。295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrIALps7kdN
295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3MwX5YzYlx
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。295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIkymmUFqoG
295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2BMg7TD2UN
「紫藤……不會生氣吧？」295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5Ir4uiBCOd
295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVO9hiq8M1f
杜若果然還在意著那時自己的衝動。295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeW0hWV7uLp
295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDCGeyLsWVo
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。295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3171uCyzvv
295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxKak5JRoG6
「不會。」紫藤堅定地說：「我保證。」295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdjWWs6HBaF
295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡznDXtXvL74
等到紫藤緩緩收起手後，杜若才按著胸口，下定決心地開口。295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4kqlWh9qYs
295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUXYuRp6v4l
「……我想要救陶壺叔。」295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8cHq8HYf9x
295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlh9F47Wpx8
杜若喃喃吐出的回答令紫藤感到十分意外。295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPXkMdfDwWY
295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV2EvDrx9Rz
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？295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdV6fIE9Sep
295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq42BH1syEU
就好像發現了紫藤的疑惑，杜若幽幽地繼續說道：295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIEtNqk5CV7
295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRPZsAo7yZJ
「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。」295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFe94CTO2pj
295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYitVe2MlOu
全身慢慢就會不能動的病？295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFbJz6uCygg
295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdxOywesuBm
這種病紫藤是頭一次聽見。295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRA2dmB8uEQ
295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoPuT3Tq8oY
「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。」295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2XLbOLsooJ
295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaGVaYAVfmM
「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。295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRZWnctNsJ1
295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUVn8BhFoYM
「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。」295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaxA6alAUjK
295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP1CgxvDOMJ
杜若的笑只看得見無力。295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuFzcX3Wowq
295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡehvKKaScnI
「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。」295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡonvViCDFeu
295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdUs5sDbwuT
到這裡，杜若便沒有繼續說下去了。295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeC4jczMN8X
295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡen9Rxx4n2S
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。295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbAo3IiVfjn
295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ61KEdD8boa
然而，紫藤卻忍不住想要質疑的念頭。295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb81F11SOyS
295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡexfMkvbYM5
「那個狐狸、真的就這麼值得相信嗎？」295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6ZYN16Ow9A
295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡupH4pdOOYt
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。295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNCjgzpmJR4
295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFXXXtMfRIm
「……狐狸一直都對我很好呀。」295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqUmdmoALfI
295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlqfVpbG0hO
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。295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGDxhnM39FX
295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQJ3jgsCKU0
「所以，我還是相信狐狸。」295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnZXXcKLRYR
295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzFxRAXXEpN
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。295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXhbP7lwtXi
295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpQTBvsWk3D
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。295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoyteCAjqzn
295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5PPinBsZhN
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。295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoBA4rfpnot
295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoQakUwaJ8R
哪怕、就算那道光芒是朝自己射出的子彈也一樣。295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPbIs6ZSEcQ
295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLdaAh7RPC8
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？295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA32JRpGsZh
295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuY1hReGoWu
這怎麼可能。295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSnPCUYHgSu
295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZpCeZQ7lwP
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。295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb2V3IIikJ4
295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKGS1mlezmV
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。295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6VGk5EZkGi
295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjfGK488glc
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。295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe64Tb5IFtn
295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLCHMLqUVch
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。295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWe85chW6fo
295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ7X17uE4g5
察覺到掌心的柔軟，杜若看著紫藤靦腆地一笑。295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKlkpzIT46d
295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrHIKplWB0K
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295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGZdMf5qzEd
295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRv6b4YBhXF
「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。295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAgAdK2QUd1
295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkCJmdquRGg
「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！」295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6gjFER9UJs
295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhfByQCsb4e
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。295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUqZ5USfoc3
295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzOuDBAKxGA
「不過，果然還是不能夠靠沙華會的人呢。」295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡokFkeUquM6
295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡttvKTQjWcl
經過剛才被反擊的經驗，讓兩人都對這點有了更多的共識。295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgI7yynVZl6
295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7gURmjJF7g
說了句「話說回來」後，杜若就一轉話鋒、向紫藤問道：295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjGuBP2Y6li
295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWY09rahxla
「紫藤想要殺掉的人又是誰呀？紫藤還記得嗎？」295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAWharpslKt
295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh5E3wqazgP
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。295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLSLeXzrMRB
295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjm53AgurqB
「是一個……在脖子後面紋著白色線條的沙華會紋身的人。」295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡprbvl9Din4
295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ145zTvfL0r
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。295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZRGBH2ilA2
295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlCG84Yt0Zx
「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。」295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYQZLnZGRli
295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyqMEnVDvfC
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。295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzCLHTzxZMd
295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZNYGd8Bjvr
「這樣的話，我也來幫忙吧！」杜若自告奮勇地舉高手：295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKb5gU0gjbL
295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG6rAAvAzIn
「兩個人一起找絕對比較快的！」295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVlblKBaLYA
295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCOZ9cRNNze
杜若的模樣、讓紫藤晚了一步才發現自己說錯了話。295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSWAeHoXtJa
295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYaq4TFtCsj
紫藤默默地低下頭、沉聲回答。295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9rzpE2j4pG
295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhIaABYeupJ
「……不用那樣。我……我自己就夠了。」295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVjXJou6pRM
295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZYcj88xHXg
這冷淡的回答讓杜若頓時像被潑了水的貓咪似地一愣。295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg38dgjjNEb
295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmBa3JzdS4o
「可是、紫藤不是說到現在都……」295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPqVAHvb3u7
295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAga6w7KzSq
「這本來就是我自己的事。」295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMeHZD5coRT
295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1KOd074Ub7
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。295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKcDS1dHZ0A
295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzpAjXvmozZ
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。295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI4tZUlVWYu
295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjuyjWIwlj7
「那要是紫藤遇到危險怎麼辦！」倏地，杜若站起身、提高音量295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6q9GW06eCZ
295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ636ynVO2Rv
「我就是為了保護自己，才會去學習要怎麼搏鬥。」295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcruuPByHoY
295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP0PEnyGqoD
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。295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡimScsVOfqz
295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRoRhTfqoWS
「可是、假如對方有槍、假如遇到像今天一樣的事……」295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzSnk8lasci
295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKKLMFoYJ5S
「我是不會讓自己被殺死的。」295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡApnh2liq19
295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAhCTzyBfE0
「紫藤明明就傷成這樣、還說這種話……！」295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRuHum41xhY
295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm6gzwopTwz
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。295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL0dhTYqw9c
295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx46lq51lm9
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。295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8uy3aTf8qh
295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH8KObiY8j1
杜若雖然想甩開，但卻在一半就失去了力氣。295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdeGABNkNSA
295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0goBLbkGE2
「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……」295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSK0lvV51BM
295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJbuM2g7Ynn
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。295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBSrfqdRdNV
295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHKkzzNW7j6
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？295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVQ6iqAR4Yq
295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIqIiCp9PhH
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。295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZor88pdHQ5
295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡynM60gNBUw
最後，紫藤還是用了奸詐的說法。295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS0Taldfwne
295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyTEntvK6Lg
「我跟陶壺叔約定過，說不會讓妳受傷了。」295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡauGAw7cckk
295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvb5QbKzqnO
「那難道紫藤要我看著妳受傷嗎？」295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoXFFQzSNgR
295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBm0GJ0uXOG
雖然夾雜著鼻音、但這句話卻如此強而有力。295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIzAh5VOF5O
295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4236NdvOPG
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。295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVvf2yUi1PY
295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJhss19rEjP
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。295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwh4BARx9LO
295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJIoogJmWGP
而紫藤打算再在杜若的身上再添一層相同的痛苦嗎？295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlMMvjie0kG
295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbgLX6rsD7e
紫藤無法回答，只是沉默地別開了視線。295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTP4CvaxAIt
295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOmPmbIjeBj
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？295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOKsCeQqvLo
295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0cr5uMOLBn
哪條路都是崎嶇，哪條路也都是痛苦。295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlTQGPMX941
295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8zAKPl8yF2
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？295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeoRMwr0Bna
295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOhpyxQWqy3
只因為就連接受也是痛苦吧。295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz4wjUvhFBz
295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGPld924qR4
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？295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF22d3GsAYi
295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjUfNtWaKmz
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。295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4I5yu9Num1
295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa1H2Skf192
思及至此，紫藤才慢慢地放鬆了手中的力道。295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQZb2yJEY1i
295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpXpSrETmcE
「答應我、要先保護好妳自己。」295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN4yYauYo6Y
295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtxc3wF9wvE
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。295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlpJWiJlIhI
295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRnoB7Ynwar
「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。295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWcsBjryvtK
295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIuOu2SrMfD
「所以，我的份就用來保護紫藤吧！」295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeP1qrim6M0
295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg1MVSdGr04
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。295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaWVZU6gTil
295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4nd525Utf4
「喔喔！紫藤笑了耶！」295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4ECAl666Yx
295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOFr6OpimU6
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。295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD8Wgk9UUbk
295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe6w3sHPfZI
「哇啊啊——！對不起！」杜若立刻慌張地放下手來。295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy4DhSRS85O
295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdt5KwI4DLC
疼痛雖然還沒散去，但紫藤還是發自內心地笑了。295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmrAjGpd64D
295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQBH81Pi3sx
「……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？」295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1lW4Ihwsxs
295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhcuz1y782V
「咦？」這提議讓紫藤也感到意外地眨了眨眼。295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSVfEcwbmBH
295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeoeZBrUsoq
「雖然是我自己猜的……不過狐狸應該很擅長找人吧。」295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOE4fYPgyQW
295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfbs5L9tgGQ
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。295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6rd32kb8ka
295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRRjf9E9x0L
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。295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqdZqsnUFLk
295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmswnKVbMEZ
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。295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZDBAEvXTXB
295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnm8cRB2vxx
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？295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJQYfBZp0HU
295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrMfQUnQeSd
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？295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc1lBlY70FI
295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7F6x6IzeIS
「那……可以幫我跟狐狸說說看嗎？」295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAuybrYAmsa
295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYeaCx28rqF
「當然呀，這是我提議的嘛～」杜若自信地抱起手臂、挺起胸膛。295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvkExjC0vE3
295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCdKQNCdoAP
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。295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiGLuSYUVi7
295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUMCUSkf8ad
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。295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw5UBERWmRa
295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrxENdZaI24
「妳的傷……換我幫妳吧。」295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUSAoB2VmqT
295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9aI0BJclfb
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。295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiwML9RGUOj
295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz6zlXHRnKL
「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。295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1gKiCQ8fks
295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoCJVHzvwFS
「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。295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVIydnb14Jj
295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgl1IUtXp1W
「撕得開來嗎？」杜若看著紫藤有些僵硬的動作，有所顧慮地問。295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT21TnZWENI
295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDjZ6UjqhE5
「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。295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmGpIgDRDjT
295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpYREdZa1nb
「……好了。換膝蓋吧。」295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO89s4WD90n
295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3CxznGO5sa
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。295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQQTzlqdVTX
295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZRuZOCXka7
「我臉上有什麼嗎？」紫藤不解地偏過頭。295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡURgF3itSer
295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa8YbRMNxRq
「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：295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEEYGDTh5wH
295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhR5gZp955Y
「只是覺得紫藤認真的模樣……果然好帥喔。」295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDjeUPHz4h0
295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ49zQaG5JDs
突如其來的稱讚，令紫藤頓時耳根一熱。295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNDcFQRR1Ia
295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡURPotpYgUk
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？295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmTJVJT2cEL
295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡof3kjbDC17
「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：295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXSCCvty3RX
295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5Us8pqCMTi
「謝謝……」295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxekpSZVQAv
295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡabjtYFAeBa
「嗯？」295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJe7IEg1sX2
295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb7cR43I9tf
「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……！」295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPSztimmzMN
295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLAQJObCj9A
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。295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡthbU4XIsxq
295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWfcEWROGCB
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。295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx9Ju2ErqGy
295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnG9fzdHXfh
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。295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPJrmSFOVTJ
295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv6dt3WNL5w
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。295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6YEs5gwqWG
295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpWGRtu9Gez
「稍微……稍微彎起來一點。」295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXHPef9Prv6
295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUm3hHonBWE
「這樣？」295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXDTszpswUm
295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgUjsyO4M4Y
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。295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ24Ap3lTxYM
295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlMQ83blFxE
「……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。295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsGMxVmsOoj
295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuQy9mVvhve
於是紫藤收起醫療用品，起身將箱子放回原位。295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL9b4mZOaVY
295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwRdY9ZZulK
「對了，剛才紫藤提到的事件……」295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx115x8BwZt
295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLRNvbiT1A0
就在要踏出房門的時候，杜若忽然想到了什麼似地開了口。295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhYwTom45Qi
295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAwmadf76gB
「事件、是倒塌事件嗎？」295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRpVhw4mQdj
295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtivj2c3xOk
「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。295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡogkH4XojfN
295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIGd4zT46do
「怎麼了嗎？」看見杜若的模樣，令紫藤擔心地走了回去。295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUbav9kDbJR
295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzQCI7r5Rn4
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。295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvrsIifCQuO
295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkGHjk50zda
「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！」295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpjlU3aRrhF
295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyJrGmQO3Q0
紫藤雖然感到疑惑，卻還是沒有多問地走出了房間。295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqsiATsthMl
295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP3bMy19SK8
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。295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgN2Onq9twS
295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkroXz8JUGh
「我們……好像弄錯順序了耶。」295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuxoYged3Wp
295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1QyUS0aOCd
「……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。295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWaJhaXEUVY
295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeIGDnmgiHr
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。295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqPWeHboPAh
295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTzsymkrcMq
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。295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9GjjMDfN12
295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPWSzps2A6f
「紫藤需要我幫忙嗎？」295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmBZ5aCkl2c
295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWMsy1KPgmz
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。295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG0SDhXMYeT
295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkyo4e0StiY
「我、我自己來就可以了……」295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzRbK9hBTcl
295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxbkyMfMCgu
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。295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWNKhfChs1X
295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYhvoDwU2dC
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。295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR45a9B8cQ0
295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK17GFemtfj
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。295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡybaLFhllCY
295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrusoBlq1S3
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。295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs8j2vXDM5O
295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNR6yR4Wqry
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。295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡasFyz6XKfp
295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvO4JrltwGn
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？295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0dJGn3cN5u
295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIDdNU8aQWO
「……紫藤。」295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1TzdNiBNdK
295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqwCsBLDVIV
「怎麼了？」295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ3SVEn3ETV
295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrOAlHTGrPV
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。295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlUutarIldj
295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnjaTM85sPh
「紫藤說、會一直在我身邊……我可以相信紫藤吧？」295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCYMEuaXkbi
295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXvkdFdRsnA
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。295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6Z1mgYSZ5y
295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG6tA7pm5J3
紫藤伸出手輕蓋在了杜若的後腦，卻沒有辦法就這麼點頭。295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtjpdzPwp7h
295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH4ZLxLiqDb
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？295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqbgDlZsBBb
295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1qJNlzkq25
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。295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡthOhH9bpgI
295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡND3vgSkDE0
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。295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbGdlHrPIXw
295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjehjfO6MKb
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？295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyHOIq5ojEF
295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlksS3a0qjr
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。295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ8HD2xBE5c
295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD0UTDv3xZM
不過紫藤現在就在這裡。295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8dcMXo1gFW
295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMU8wCH0Y70
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。295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr64L61PVbb
295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0EhmUpUDzw
於是、紫藤探出指頭，用指腹輕貼上了杜若的臉頰。295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK2wUzQ7wP1
295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA9fyXonP65
「……我會試著做到的。」295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0TkKTK6WVu
295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBvBGL5nHqv
「什麼嘛……」聽見這不乾脆的回答，杜若便沒輒地笑了。295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ2XZmS0xBr
295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlPKxGXfpsw
「不過……我相信紫藤喔。」295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡleB0tZUDRi
295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsHySoE5pCV
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。295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk9dI1Mytos
295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKtqKA8epP8
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。295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXzyhZozzMt
295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFp6snV4wio
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。295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGSAjae62Sq
295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp8H5osQ7D3
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。295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrfMdFwom1K
295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡycaOqO3g9r
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。295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfdjGZyXrmP
