迴響的隆隆聲如同夢境般遠去。281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRkIN6HpEJ2
281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5HY4gFDhGw
從開出的小縫裡，一道狹窄的光切開了無邊無際的黑暗。281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzIgUTHGdps
281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPTjXk8TDTK
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。281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP7DTviCzHQ
281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzwhrPdElHE
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。281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOMOa8JfejR
281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYTS5b9ypvT
連沙華會都靜謐下來，就代表連凌晨也快要結束了吧。281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjP27woS6NC
281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMXyuZ2yX04
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。281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoXDpodcqGh
281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAZE2yfYDXP
「走吧。我們一起回去。」281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0YQHhEDthn
281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAyNQegR6aH
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。281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbUouNgd6d5
281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXzJhvIX91i
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。281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcyNhPKedRL
281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ1eRgGQ8p1
為了處理傷口，杜若讓紫藤靠到了床板上頭。281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5THIQpzDVF
281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi2TrgMLcl5
「嗚……！」281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ13GjOrjpTu
281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQWMB7zvSXf
消毒藥水碰到傷口的劇痛，讓紫藤吃痛地叫出悶聲。281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5BxZquhEKp
281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCpw7aTms7i
「很痛嗎……？」杜若停下動作，擔憂地看向紫藤。281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡryW3KhGVTa
281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ5OynRH02s
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。281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQisxSbftHt
281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRFfhkMQgMD
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。281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhWGOwrirrV
281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhyFPrf3DmE
「……我還可以忍。」說完，紫藤打直手臂。281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1Tlxb2RLvl
281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnGGAgFT1Cw
杜若點點頭，卻宛如做錯了事一般地垂下眼簾。281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlVhXwrkpJb
281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtrUFaOTTfV
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。281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxgpyEPAxMG
281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJEvqL2vWrB
「那、再忍耐一下就好。」281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMTg2RIhoPz
281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoAS3nOfBOi
「呼、呼……嗚——！」281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd9kBGaR2xo
281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB3Qs4gwc5p
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。281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLvcBhqCOol
281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEKrqzVYqKA
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。281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlZ2y16J3lV
281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3Bh6X9TVTE
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。281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR1UGlmCRCr
281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQrLRr95VrE
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。281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8Nl4yia21N
281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbkwJuRvHcK
「還要喝嗎？」杜若捧著還有一半的水杯，輕柔地問。281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7PVhUoHBlC
281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFpWIAGFskh
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。281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjIcJHiAO3x
281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfo7mQn1teS
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。281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAujEmTmsrx
281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuCZY56JpGm
「……謝謝。」281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOsI5OE12ls
281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJTMmvMjvxt
「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。281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsQTeB6Hhnq
281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWCg40e32v3
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。281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvddNJct9k8
281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡooHqCae7Od
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。281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCugcvZX7FW
281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnLvso39jQI
不過，這無疑都是事實。281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcKL2E68pkP
281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb9CpOIYpNo
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。281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKvm0McETBH
281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxvURUwcQq0
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。281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiiP9RoYPcg
281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1FnDLZm2W4
「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。281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA3YjDQhxPt
281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxPwZN46eAy
沉默了半晌，紫藤才慢慢地開口。281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8y3aXFzjAZ
281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvZRVbxiV86
「是我媽媽的遺物。」281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbBktChrThv
281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuwHoXnYhRA
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。281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXFMWwP0YHM
281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUiPztXljBj
「咦……？那為什麼會在墨駒的手裡呀？」杜若不假思索地問道。281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkNstB9sss4
281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL73ElkYh4u
「我也不知道。」紫藤搖搖頭，黯然地闔上雙眼。281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZoV3iTIX0l
281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvIww69baUF
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。281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj14Wgp7c8J
281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMIZFOaCHqv
「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：281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDbqFlpNf3J
281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaQMzaL7aM7
「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。」281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL6aXpo97nk
281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8za4bngpnt
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。281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAn3pSQglUf
281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ33p5UUS98r
「這就是那時候、他們從媽媽的身上搶走的東西之一。」281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX3iRaeAm8d
281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmfS7O5X7Lp
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。281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQo3du57Vlf
281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFiUsVRqwGx
從那時起，濺在臉上的那朵紅花就已經在紫藤的心頭生根。281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4e75j6r7N3
281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGAXVUkja9A
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。281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMvkJsQirJT
281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlWMFfUR3Ge
「原來……這是對紫藤來說這麼重要的東西啊。」281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ75Bq5OohDB
281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrJ1H7IwJKP
「嗯。」紫藤在胸前連同戒指握緊了拳頭。281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCcvaBy3bPn
281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9MPhTS4vX6
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。281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6LYQm3ttMT
281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4PaK2vThlY
自己已經不想要再失去任何東西了。281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡotGVc7KzgC
281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkra03i9lns
「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。281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ55kbU7kknh
281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJrzW9hH1YF
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。281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK0H8GfWd78
281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXIDc4tzh18
「媽媽他——」281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTQVk1nA5Gs
281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK0Sg3zS2gG
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。281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡANZd8zJtmO
281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj14qXrH3ae
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」。281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡko2J14YfY7
281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6Cm0mxAf6R
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。281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBfy85gyQ9A
281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXlm8lgenY3
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。281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCKQCcZmyz4
281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmLjsjNoGXD
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。281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLgtkCCizeJ
281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSlJ3Xicyq2
但紫藤一點都不喜歡學校。281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjWyDJr8wSv
281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKUALXzcmSh
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。281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlhGapHM5Qa
281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7gU499l9u0
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。281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡntB0IqVd91
281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡinYXL3C8pn
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。281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE4jCFWEmYN
281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5roR9IE7Bz
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。281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKfs9JuatMi
281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ341oQV1LDf
嗯，這樣就夠了。那時的紫藤只有這麼單純的滿足。281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr2C2P6pjgt
281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCqulVq0Wd0
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。281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKMO5PBs7B0
281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw3AQTWPbxB
那是一起倒塌事件。281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPzBAX7sY2Y
281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqF6ooC4VYf
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。281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ5TkevkO4y
281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1UvPPlugVv
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。281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ54azQ72sD4
281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxotqPFS7nN
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。281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2bt1fsOBYq
281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLSFJPoMWyn
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。281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI5yPo4Psc7
281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWBpqdk1fyT
「……我會找到給墨駒這個戒指的人。」281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR8xlun1Ba9
281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxIHk2biDoq
收起回憶，紫藤再次握緊了戒指。281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3XFpHzqqbE
281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlSs3EIfCYk
「然後，殺了他。」281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOZa6zIlm7E
281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5wiknwYixC
紫藤的眼神猶如熾火，沒有一分一毫的搖曳。281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY7k0PnvNu3
281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyFsPAnaq1X
但只不過幾秒，便很快地萎靡了下來。281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvFrAZYZ119
281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7k4dkUt7VT
「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。」281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbfKor0QnzA
281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2sYpbJtPCc
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。281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl0hZSiVmAA
281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCCKvGCn0sx
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。281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpuuog9jvqV
281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ89Lw4gAM4g
「原來、這就是紫藤想要跟我一起行動的原因呀。」281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7vsVjQsUbk
281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzR2OqHKyyR
「……嗯。」281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMzzjq6LR1I
281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ76WIeK8BZ
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。281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsN6TE4LV1K
281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsfLW6DDIa8
紫藤深信，這就是自己向那些骯髒禽獸復仇的楔子。281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3fpx5ALyRf
281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYC3ObDbSXd
這就是足以斬斷自己心頭那朵紅花的白刃。281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZl8rNC7umh
281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGB30nTHR75
「……杜若妳呢？」281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTwjoJ9urIe
281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJqalxzDcZ1
紫藤拾起快要滿溢的情感，回望了杜若那如新月般的雙眸。281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4edvydcGXC
281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAiGyzx2rCw
「又是為什麼……會開始當殺手？」281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtopI7vv7m4
281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQcjvPfN5Ps
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。281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTq8G7r0uyQ
281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRKkZO2vUM0
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。281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUrbszAjIV8
281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7HI5GDTWJQ
「紫藤……不會生氣吧？」281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZwmpZZ9BEO
281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9NaA3oLNPc
杜若果然還在意著那時自己的衝動。281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ1xyEfn6Dq
281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTCg6nRIkel
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。281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt1KK4rKPc2
281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMyo6qV0tTz
「不會。」紫藤堅定地說：「我保證。」281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡchMj4mIydL
281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV5yq0k10xj
等到紫藤緩緩收起手後，杜若才按著胸口，下定決心地開口。281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDORbOUYgZh
281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG5Pi9e728z
「……我想要救陶壺叔。」281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNhI45Y90Hh
281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdp6IdBlGv7
杜若喃喃吐出的回答令紫藤感到十分意外。281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3bnOi0woyB
281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoJedQContn
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？281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmstPuAOsdO
281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx0mJkNe1XL
就好像發現了紫藤的疑惑，杜若幽幽地繼續說道：281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuZ4NOdzlL4
281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAu58YyTxfu
「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。」281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwDhW0UM2Lq
281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡePluzKs6hd
全身慢慢就會不能動的病？281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡac5JhPurDi
281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE8tEXO10eq
這種病紫藤是頭一次聽見。281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKCbZlRLmsq
281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡACPWWLRtFt
「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。」281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtLg3huTaKN
281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCeRwLjne6L
「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。281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhBGWcMMQ95
281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJYgOqVLrXB
「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。」281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvxd8LKn6qr
281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJlioPRs8rY
杜若的笑只看得見無力。281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnIc00LsVmY
281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJpWM9eL26i
「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。」281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr2wrQvdW54
281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkt7TPNeQXI
到這裡，杜若便沒有繼續說下去了。281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJw4ZbXZk6F
281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFKo5PpXBAG
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。281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCg2r6stq21
281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡne4s8nhCcF
然而，紫藤卻忍不住想要質疑的念頭。281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMhEz4t79fR
281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpVdaCw0IkG
「那個狐狸、真的就這麼值得相信嗎？」281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM43fTHD9Bw
281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD1fJyRQlVR
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。281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5TY4hWhJug
281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgq2x5ZGovZ
「……狐狸一直都對我很好呀。」281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPeZgw7wBO7
281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡokh7BqVzQj
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。281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9smHfIMT7p
281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4IL4Fa3dMN
「所以，我還是相信狐狸。」281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNmwLn9ML4F
281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnYkJm7eJV5
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。281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPxnE3zic3O
281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ20VI71Lx8
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。281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMHg6Crid5Y
281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzo8TOQm1oE
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。281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8hxXryt76T
281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzA0npZIhx2
哪怕、就算那道光芒是朝自己射出的子彈也一樣。281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5WCz3TBfMu

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？281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM41yyiTTiL
281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9DwOosmN8h
這怎麼可能。281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL97uyTOpik
281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWDyf98YJEn
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。281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUp5iLjP63N
281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9sOAFQ60q4
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。281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡePdk44U9x4
281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhIYqlHEMB8
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。281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDjYisGYsg1
281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMuvHHZc8Bd
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。281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ88h61JKpRI
281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmgJXyIeYxd
察覺到掌心的柔軟，杜若看著紫藤靦腆地一笑。281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb5JPSZp9Rv
281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX0AKYdFEam
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281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNdmk2Cylyf
281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB4sAwls8gQ
「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。281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHzGbpB3lye
281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIFqjHbJBbk
「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！」281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzx2eJd3d03
281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7I0750w4Hp
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。281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzLk2yFhfB2
281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuICDGataPQ
「不過，果然還是不能夠靠沙華會的人呢。」281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1PvrEdZluf
281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDweEAWLilm
經過剛才被反擊的經驗，讓兩人都對這點有了更多的共識。281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ21k1unBF4q
281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8qVAVf2Fhl
說了句「話說回來」後，杜若就一轉話鋒、向紫藤問道：281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI5xCMKypRE
281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIEUU1Zm0cH
「紫藤想要殺掉的人又是誰呀？紫藤還記得嗎？」281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzZO3fXD5RE
281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPY0z2hAr1h
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。281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAgSKbYz8zQ
281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCgLLEeyI5y
「是一個……在脖子後面紋著白色線條的沙華會紋身的人。」281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHn41TidhBF
281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI5fHlNxseZ
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。281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRHt9OiIB0J
281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡntlhOmTg6t
「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。」281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3zx6VIMDDv
281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0QM1eXX11c
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。281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqfecfad5p8
281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlrdCbnR0qB
「這樣的話，我也來幫忙吧！」杜若自告奮勇地舉高手：281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKlg0OttXZa
281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2744JOMQi0
「兩個人一起找絕對比較快的！」281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6gOy33QUx1
281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOFEWkHUZpT
杜若的模樣、讓紫藤晚了一步才發現自己說錯了話。281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhVEZeq1RLM
281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ61NSUF0i9J
紫藤默默地低下頭、沉聲回答。281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMVc4pH3Z2H
281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFeQOE1RS89
「……不用那樣。我……我自己就夠了。」281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU837H2nJ7a
281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqWstYKOzhe
這冷淡的回答讓杜若頓時像被潑了水的貓咪似地一愣。281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQX1lvCIg8J
281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk6bHbEpVh7
「可是、紫藤不是說到現在都……」281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmxUH8KvOuO
281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKAP2we2ZeC
「這本來就是我自己的事。」281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzdjQwf6rKS
281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpIlxwPlhE1
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。281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5jym8jetnU
281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡff1tWJlZuq
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。281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZvhXp2eIlJ
281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ7kyOOJZEM
「那要是紫藤遇到危險怎麼辦！」倏地，杜若站起身、提高音量281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv7DTe1kYlY
281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWkek8Te9ua
「我就是為了保護自己，才會去學習要怎麼搏鬥。」281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZHbbSNuMKG
281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeqTfGJMDmA
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。281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAqVA3oQPsV
281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIT3aOgxR52
「可是、假如對方有槍、假如遇到像今天一樣的事……」281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3Wo0OAAJlm
281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGaBW1v856A
「我是不會讓自己被殺死的。」281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC9MtlC7fxK
281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGCnmtyPbI7
「紫藤明明就傷成這樣、還說這種話……！」281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoA2n91DeTY
281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJsj4AtJLhp
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。281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn2eLlQuEs5
281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVMYnXqbjXc
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。281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqwz8AlCR6z
281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd8t5Q2bL3N
杜若雖然想甩開，但卻在一半就失去了力氣。281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbVWyZQUFih
281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLYVNaBbawQ
「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……」281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi515YMyukp
281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpoAysUfkHk
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。281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLwUeRfYuQ6
281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuJa6YWMWzQ
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？281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0DjLg4EWIZ
281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhJWA4ddWjY
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。281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQrHnJXDfS4
281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAH6s5Z8M9S
最後，紫藤還是用了奸詐的說法。281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡToiHQCRgur
281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoqWr0CeWjm
「我跟陶壺叔約定過，說不會讓妳受傷了。」281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpyZ9jy5B2F
281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXCmnCFaJrP
「那難道紫藤要我看著妳受傷嗎？」281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0ic8Xp0DtO
281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlc4E2vi0HC
雖然夾雜著鼻音、但這句話卻如此強而有力。281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ71EezLJO5t
281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEmbEktgbJN
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。281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAbcA48JrYJ
281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9S813zJPab
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。281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzWdtRH2TZp
281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZgRfLe81SU
而紫藤打算再在杜若的身上再添一層相同的痛苦嗎？281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgBJqPqZQsw
281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmqaqwURw5v
紫藤無法回答，只是沉默地別開了視線。281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjC5ieW2J8q
281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5dm4pBCYvg
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？281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrcMrKbNkBW
281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzdfHxVM226
哪條路都是崎嶇，哪條路也都是痛苦。281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgrabaHR4D9
281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpHayujQgEH
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？281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxniL1uk9CA
281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ43mBcGGhFn
只因為就連接受也是痛苦吧。281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2dC1hU0Cck
281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhauuPnr8ca
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？281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8M8TGvPhZf
281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN4ZetJycic
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。281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3wDVgAitjk
281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡznpdRcdpXi
思及至此，紫藤才慢慢地放鬆了手中的力道。281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj1FjOuRP4x
281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNk231LW2IU
「答應我、要先保護好妳自己。」281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcyjU4kXwLu
281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxipAJP6s6a
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。281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO2yAlvvPKd
281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHwc3saEApQ
「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。281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ7vVUvg5jf
281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR1nCmKuAkI
「所以，我的份就用來保護紫藤吧！」281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVSSCst8YfM
281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7ptWhCodQ2
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。281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE8jI21o2yI
281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSX0r46oKZx
「喔喔！紫藤笑了耶！」281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSjHnDA8uVe
281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvrj6c7UIAl
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。281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk5upsckY3J
281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOj3W2MeSdw
「哇啊啊——！對不起！」杜若立刻慌張地放下手來。281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC97rd2OXZn
281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAXqnkVxLZm
疼痛雖然還沒散去，但紫藤還是發自內心地笑了。281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpFYOp7vbO3
281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPI7IVGHavQ
「……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？」281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMQTAPMHlEb
281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkZyFWBH25X
「咦？」這提議讓紫藤也感到意外地眨了眨眼。281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwKUYfvBWpx
281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaumE5okrbL
「雖然是我自己猜的……不過狐狸應該很擅長找人吧。」281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrpu21gwWRY
281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJKOkc5AMZW
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。281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEdf1mGckB5
281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6T1qNxBMmT
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。281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJB8rTEw0Rg
281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhH2UGbcuV7
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。281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuBRmBCX0Dp
281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyNrUx2YbGQ
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？281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡayNqgcuzh6
281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8ksIrihTH4
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？281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXI5ma3ZY1i
281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqi86SOiTb6
「那……可以幫我跟狐狸說說看嗎？」281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdnmChpi2rV
281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRT9Kk4tmIo
「當然呀，這是我提議的嘛～」杜若自信地抱起手臂、挺起胸膛。281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSb5rEdC8b9
281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwWtTKWcWIN
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。281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkO1f7s3ASb
281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7ENmjoX5pY
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。281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvp92gVK84A
281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjyKnC8tofF
「妳的傷……換我幫妳吧。」281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg8VmoAHwT5
281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxQBW5WUbA1
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。281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCu5C6YJ1A8
281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz9osK0LOxB
「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。281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqMR3gVfk1N
281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCeamuaxsPW
「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。281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT3urvVSWdc
281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkMaOU7juJr
「撕得開來嗎？」杜若看著紫藤有些僵硬的動作，有所顧慮地問。281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMdBbu3EHH7
281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1XFOQEAPQZ
「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。281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ58cShSmF7
281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGWrX1mnnNh
「……好了。換膝蓋吧。」281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ54nZlVS6SK
281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyjZ8CWpRdj
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。281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2lWlOOpKgJ
281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9wudKrCLRd
「我臉上有什麼嗎？」紫藤不解地偏過頭。281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzISpsa6miE
281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJrH5z1scEg
「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：281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD4wYhyAdi2
281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtuMPednXQZ
「只是覺得紫藤認真的模樣……果然好帥喔。」281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp8sV411Ovh
281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQIw2tZ77jV
突如其來的稱讚，令紫藤頓時耳根一熱。281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb12faTVBhZ
281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp36SAmIFZs
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？281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQYgRNnxh2E
281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO21bJwmfs5
「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：281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO8S04BKnDJ
281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbhuntZDh0B
「謝謝……」281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYD9Nfmo4zD
281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTvjSteCJK3
「嗯？」281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuMH9Be6N01
281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNRHTpL2Pym
「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……！」281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ41T2R3Tma3
281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEc9YJKxn6K
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。281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcFbuSQQRV1
281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqhc9Yyedes
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。281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKoteFuHJI1
281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG5EW3K9n3w
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。281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK8HXHK3g9V
281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6BmcsbqYXf
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。281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoiTQCoR9g1
281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡubnKfyXQEB
「稍微……稍微彎起來一點。」281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡztF2IJjPm4
281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRpMiCnSSg8
「這樣？」281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1ifxylRPWy
281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0nV0PxhvkD
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。281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFgyyNjMXnB
281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPhN0kXievi
「……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。281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmMh1yRUZNq
281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFDWbsfVL0t
於是紫藤收起醫療用品，起身將箱子放回原位。281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhc9R2FJH9E
281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnh0G1oknj9
「對了，剛才紫藤提到的事件……」281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaDBwcasjgS
281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu1zFz5tAmQ
就在要踏出房門的時候，杜若忽然想到了什麼似地開了口。281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQawOdhBiUZ
281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb4YiyC5h3x
「事件、是倒塌事件嗎？」281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKt3LrGZFa7
281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwbySxRABIA
「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。281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRhZVD3lxjy
281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAHyYiiitUU
「怎麼了嗎？」看見杜若的模樣，令紫藤擔心地走了回去。281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmGDojeZ1aF
281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH46XnaUDWV
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。281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgHTM0zJsJW
281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD80v7koWCz
「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！」281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn6eNj2XHNz
281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4C09fv5EDy
紫藤雖然感到疑惑，卻還是沒有多問地走出了房間。281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgB8ZXdKbf5
281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnWrYFReFF9
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。281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ28F9x8jXl
281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVvq9eBC6hu
「我們……好像弄錯順序了耶。」281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTmbhPsWxcc
281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL3s2XdNTtW
「……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。281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiRGwzWlHFQ
281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYdrAVAce2V
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。281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmO7aF1yw9q
281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGDEhsp0KsD
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。281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTgaiyUoS33
281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh1YLU6bXoN
「紫藤需要我幫忙嗎？」281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2UF1AEfo0k
281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjIGzl11ocw
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。281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnK7CgxeiOq
281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEGgUMVWP0T
「我、我自己來就可以了……」281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoJ1wlBNE3g
281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDtfivhIr0p
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。281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpYEorcNV7c
281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW3XAJblJiF
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。281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK0gWYjD5iE
281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTu0FxNWUkg
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。281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvlAtzTU58F
281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkJoUpmqEaC
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。281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2hm2dEOdmG

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。281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvicyoEiljK
281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc62qlGPMD0
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？281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdCmd55oFQd
281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpnBzjRh0uX
「……紫藤。」281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFDSu44dIRH
281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4byhNoqNig
「怎麼了？」281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7MMmlMpcY1
281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDcUkbdlzt1
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。281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaNPLoHL1Ax
281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYnRlmjRMJm
「紫藤說、會一直在我身邊……我可以相信紫藤吧？」281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOYL6PJApQz
281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtoItBcNdBl
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。281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFlxl9jwL1n
281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZbNyq5cC7K
紫藤伸出手輕蓋在了杜若的後腦，卻沒有辦法就這麼點頭。281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCEZe40xxfS
281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡByHaxF4jmk
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？281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZPPTK4yku1
281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpWGfA3R226
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。281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ1xUZW6lvS
281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxlWh7rmjjN
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。281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV0Kbc1CLUc
281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡENbjZa6Sm5
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？281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVpyCdN57my
281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLuef4epq2N
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。281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP77W6oCdcZ
281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsCrki0vIi9
不過紫藤現在就在這裡。281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6HFkxv51f6
281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWRoIr6qJU7
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。281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlXLQFs5Q9S
281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡreXjlejAZf
於是、紫藤探出指頭，用指腹輕貼上了杜若的臉頰。281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIuyZHbRpZm
281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡETDFhAYvcZ
「……我會試著做到的。」281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3vx6v6dfq9
281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB10eBbt24J
「什麼嘛……」聽見這不乾脆的回答，杜若便沒輒地笑了。281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDTh3zBMo1x
281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDE5NJFufiQ
「不過……我相信紫藤喔。」281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡovEkbKSECE
281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡro5UjmwK3Z
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。281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmjR0uOgmha
281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO9eqKVzO0G
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。281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKNLkxkSWAL
281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOEK3emFXqH
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。281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ59Kb8PD8IL
281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMXTS37Ovyd
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。281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPaLGWrohNY
281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSWvba3vtld
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。281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq6ooyOOrjd
