迴響的隆隆聲如同夢境般遠去。306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxfPSQgKNhI
306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnVc6kKLABN
從開出的小縫裡，一道狹窄的光切開了無邊無際的黑暗。306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl3994YEeT6
306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHMx4ZsqoQO
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。306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN2TlJQQ7gC
306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZafY7wiJvJ
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。306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmHcYp3xsZQ
306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5lZj7ugD3u
連沙華會都靜謐下來，就代表連凌晨也快要結束了吧。306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMMN4qzUhdo
306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGB9DecSKFz
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。306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwxbZX8tlQf
306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGqZLB1Dlco
「走吧。我們一起回去。」306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVwVjlH4viV
306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjm3rAkCPVt
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。306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwlBsyd57RC
306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcY3azKancL
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。306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡubGo0AspEi
306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ76O2gjK1eL
為了處理傷口，杜若讓紫藤靠到了床板上頭。306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH9bYcEoC0r
306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7V3zXdTJ4P
「嗚……！」306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgH6XrGbBGL
306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiwjZOrlxnj
消毒藥水碰到傷口的劇痛，讓紫藤吃痛地叫出悶聲。306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcawb0l1wdH
306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDUMPdTGm3r
「很痛嗎……？」杜若停下動作，擔憂地看向紫藤。306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHgqQmuTght
306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcrQC4agwuR
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。306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF2DBBOlXiQ
306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYOZscAnLGJ
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。306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa2KoTP5X8G
306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG56t7S6pmk
「……我還可以忍。」說完，紫藤打直手臂。306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2xHqCdEIIg
306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrNfIzREDKO
杜若點點頭，卻宛如做錯了事一般地垂下眼簾。306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK7YolCwbQm
306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAMxpqy56gA
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。306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDpyxCTHt0l
306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbQOb4WCfbQ
「那、再忍耐一下就好。」306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8tvCqvQ2Tk
306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9uqxvdumMJ
「呼、呼……嗚——！」306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwTC1PSdNgx
306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwIgqC6w5cH
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。306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM9suVHWghT
306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUJaxFgMPBS
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。306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbA5e8W7kOo
306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW8e8vW7IS6
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。306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6Yw8JY7ZCM
306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJWF4Uj89ye
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。306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyXuoovjfht
306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4g0zDCnTgJ
「還要喝嗎？」杜若捧著還有一半的水杯，輕柔地問。306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHrgbMPauw0
306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzcHZqkNZUH
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。306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡONCnCIkxUb
306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZKUrahddmK
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。306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiBuvJoBQLT
306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqOrpxIx1kj
「……謝謝。」306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ403D2J3Km
306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfb3Mmuo61f
「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。306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp71IdtFyf6
306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi0bborAIZH
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。306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2WC0LsZ85o
306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ1tZzmoM7n
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。306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlt8vqKFKV7
306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0M3kun7c0p
不過，這無疑都是事實。306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLJM6o6OAHK
306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkIIeSVaROJ
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。306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWLiZ8kH4YV
306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSlTtFM2kEl
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。306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc3R5F3qZjW
306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOiONufvrxD
「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。306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPGBqbEQiAV
306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIIPrmuIqL9
沉默了半晌，紫藤才慢慢地開口。306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbhGkzzfMJT
306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5Ux1eqSvCG
「是我媽媽的遺物。」306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWATcTxgHWD
306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrqqOviYPmI
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。306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpea2aYFZqu
306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6MELmznAH4
「咦……？那為什麼會在墨駒的手裡呀？」杜若不假思索地問道。306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRvLQcOat4s
306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIEJGIMbaBp
「我也不知道。」紫藤搖搖頭，黯然地闔上雙眼。306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdju0M42xpY
306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTXtxggDDEE
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。306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHC0Ia9T4PO
306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcveEF49J8I
「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：306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIqyUsz17j3
306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiNQp4F6GKc
「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。」306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVYVKt1MS2h
306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzNSKYfwBSA
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。306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpx2CvqMUQb
306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcnrtorSJY1
「這就是那時候、他們從媽媽的身上搶走的東西之一。」306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlNmvlDUqv0
306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5c0fwdu4Qq
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。306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjDYu0q3ipV
306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoNvsjgHAU3
從那時起，濺在臉上的那朵紅花就已經在紫藤的心頭生根。306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKPNcJbocSD
306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdZXH4c1vjX
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。306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz6UIbwdnRc
306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzThGDvqved
「原來……這是對紫藤來說這麼重要的東西啊。」306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa8mi1Mefyu
306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH0PRhUyDIc
「嗯。」紫藤在胸前連同戒指握緊了拳頭。306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtYXwyiikgN
306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8rdCErpZCe
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。306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkTlmcp52Ob
306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNVjlv47Ju6
自己已經不想要再失去任何東西了。306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdcfBR4IwzS
306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyTG22TPFRF
「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。306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ97ZsTgdvox
306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJfXjLp1XlY
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。306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0Wfxh5pqRm
306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNYsbvYVUSA
「媽媽他——」306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWHdUca7CXY
306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGGhBne1eRB
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。306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEY3dqrdKvm
306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnZr80KWj6q
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」。306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsZE4LiepYl
306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡklheoND1oS
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。306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjykqBtruCs
306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBkC4ekC4WE
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。306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcGlb5jPUmY
306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvC4n8ERNtA
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。306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVeMFPNa266
306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZiPwRBdF2B
但紫藤一點都不喜歡學校。306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS9s2foME3U
306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLLI470HD08
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。306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxcgZjF5VdF
306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw9C7Y2at9E
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。306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl8XcUk8mXi
306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdlTcAZb33K
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。306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQln7KzjxDo
306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxzbRibRaqe
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。306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHRhAXjthix
306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlvMeDSDGz1
嗯，這樣就夠了。那時的紫藤只有這麼單純的滿足。306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQnlsi3PKQO
306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvUL01gg4bC
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。306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR8aUQpOJ3A
306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpQKavJbaxq
那是一起倒塌事件。306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzeA453mU6S
306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCBMONDcYRN
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。306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡErTRhKThx8
306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ28ocHO1nqT
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。306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡppn6MCxnFF
306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0PZ6PHlP48
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。306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBmM83XZ2hd
306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRcacddR6DM
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。306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOA5peNT5sS
306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy6oAuC8Ah9
「……我會找到給墨駒這個戒指的人。」306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG5Fq2CvtJd
306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSinpsrx0Hp
收起回憶，紫藤再次握緊了戒指。306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPDejAVw482
306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡImee5YvN4F
「然後，殺了他。」306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzXfXLtbib3
306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJfZ4HcnP73
紫藤的眼神猶如熾火，沒有一分一毫的搖曳。306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxXuxXQRsSi
306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEEDR8pP2Mg
但只不過幾秒，便很快地萎靡了下來。306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2o7dMBJAkA
306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTRhEFa7Rjf
「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。」306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ33QwI69oO1
306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJlYrK40yJl
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。306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5ofOk0s21A
306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7eLMfAwTKL
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。306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWOOhSVDz08
306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyd3wTLfPLm
「原來、這就是紫藤想要跟我一起行動的原因呀。」306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZT041ikR0P
306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC4p8cyLiw8
「……嗯。」306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDeoPSVAN6q
306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfZJoGkdp8p
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。306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSxoukrew4a
306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9ZpnphT3qY
紫藤深信，這就是自己向那些骯髒禽獸復仇的楔子。306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMu4Wt72O4v
306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsIqOXwCFux
這就是足以斬斷自己心頭那朵紅花的白刃。306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ22VGNcJZRv
306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡptnEVqEN2O
「……杜若妳呢？」306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrzBYPmBL6T
306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3Hz1mtdqZ1
紫藤拾起快要滿溢的情感，回望了杜若那如新月般的雙眸。306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK4udwECpEP
306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC3hpGDk0Bs
「又是為什麼……會開始當殺手？」306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxNRnTVHuu6
306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXKvwxqQEF6
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。306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4yaO71VYVh
306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2ykRywEThC
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。306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkwzHJfnmPi
306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhU0KENmT87
「紫藤……不會生氣吧？」306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzgDrhh3rw5
306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo0B65B5lw3
杜若果然還在意著那時自己的衝動。306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6XWVP76xJ4
306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI2aWejtUHn
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。306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE0hYXK6LfO
306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5wPFTUS1it
「不會。」紫藤堅定地說：「我保證。」306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtWexEksGXy
306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKDiHAep37E
等到紫藤緩緩收起手後，杜若才按著胸口，下定決心地開口。306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTA9Au1aE9g
306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNM1U4WbSeP
「……我想要救陶壺叔。」306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU2AY1bvGZK
306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2ipKlBz4xP
杜若喃喃吐出的回答令紫藤感到十分意外。306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwgr9dJXTqh
306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY0BOPNnwBV
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？306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdbOujXzFKY
306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYfduY5dE9C
就好像發現了紫藤的疑惑，杜若幽幽地繼續說道：306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡli4EGQ8lbm
306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuFSir6ZqTe
「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。」306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUW2MPzCQug
306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsGbuDl4S05
全身慢慢就會不能動的病？306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXMSkwmv4Jz
306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7WVkRqaKvX
這種病紫藤是頭一次聽見。306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJZcW9upbmp
306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN4ps2QbUeE
「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。」306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjM239FgVwI
306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrDKGjt076y
「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。306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgAx3uyqhDq
306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKOSlA7qeop
「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。」306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3QJve98vEV
306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsTHUoKtYI9
杜若的笑只看得見無力。306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7NKy036tDH
306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhm9G6V1QLC
「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。」306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUYCp8rc2H5
306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwiRT4NBEkR
到這裡，杜若便沒有繼續說下去了。306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmPBL5gPt73
306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn6aCH1eJq6
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。306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmv1dDsc0X0
306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvmJY1CZT8e
然而，紫藤卻忍不住想要質疑的念頭。306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJTv0G5t9Ob
306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡucuDwdieet
「那個狐狸、真的就這麼值得相信嗎？」306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSuwfuSaMaO
306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEGo8Yt34VJ
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。306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiIVhXCKZnl
306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq4sNJRRM5N
「……狐狸一直都對我很好呀。」306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhy0FoRjiHh
306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEN3clkDGMu
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。306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2hiPkKdT02
306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRurSNFtnYH
「所以，我還是相信狐狸。」306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeh9XCDium9
306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHfSPmHcWfu
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。306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡri8HCV1aES
306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4BJtALsstE
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。306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5toOstz1Qc
306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcIHQOtuP8W
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。306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOTaW5KtR43
306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjvKs5PFMqK
哪怕、就算那道光芒是朝自己射出的子彈也一樣。306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbAPKkjfMxr
306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1DW5aIWeLk
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？306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWEHc2cez1l
306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKTAV2UNNh3
這怎麼可能。306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX2J71YlqSC
306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrEdDVv44rk
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。306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKojT6K4US2
306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOt5FIWBXhD
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。306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsRmO1OvcYo
306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOZ0dkYdCY1
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。306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkxcjQ6mVq8
306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUAxBGKwg4a
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。306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrjwDuBPfGC
306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuAON8fE3XZ
察覺到掌心的柔軟，杜若看著紫藤靦腆地一笑。306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsxOncpPhir
306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe7fLW2mccK
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306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrVyxPceNOC
306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeRgxwyXZqK
「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。306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjYt7cQyLe5
306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkOE8hauGHt
「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！」306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRzXV6qhWaU
306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLBEX1EFa3P
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。306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6pvTAQCc3r
306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrYVWeBRRFl
「不過，果然還是不能夠靠沙華會的人呢。」306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCIILIEW3qh
306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLR7Y8F4DZf
經過剛才被反擊的經驗，讓兩人都對這點有了更多的共識。306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj2mzDJLsyD
306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBPRtdBKH1f
說了句「話說回來」後，杜若就一轉話鋒、向紫藤問道：306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ642DDMm6PC
306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDZweVfJGv2
「紫藤想要殺掉的人又是誰呀？紫藤還記得嗎？」306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSFVCKeH0Oz
306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdZ4L2Yf4OU
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。306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVooW6wfCpZ
306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxhArKQTXpK
「是一個……在脖子後面紋著白色線條的沙華會紋身的人。」306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwMCfEZmxkD
306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFtLvAGfYj5
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。306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJzfPGbXcYi
306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOW0yIWIQJT
「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。」306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjJgIMQZ5LK
306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRgTrmbmEXb
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。306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdqa1UNbn7C
306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4ePZvHfh8O
「這樣的話，我也來幫忙吧！」杜若自告奮勇地舉高手：306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy89KFI5wY6
306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmt6bwDJKE6
「兩個人一起找絕對比較快的！」306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUREZdxVnim
306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBgb6ptysCi
杜若的模樣、讓紫藤晚了一步才發現自己說錯了話。306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9DPTCdyozh
306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCVhxYxVF0M
紫藤默默地低下頭、沉聲回答。306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQVzsQWNqUD
306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQc7d9eIB3C
「……不用那樣。我……我自己就夠了。」306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrjm63CwSb2
306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYD71tZBdOo
這冷淡的回答讓杜若頓時像被潑了水的貓咪似地一愣。306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2XYkJWVaPO
306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU0CWAKC4IU
「可是、紫藤不是說到現在都……」306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgSAwCKfWAe
306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqWfjcfQqcX
「這本來就是我自己的事。」306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvtE05yVY0h
306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡONIRiqOx2l
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。306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0VJzF7ZMKN
306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCo5YfMjUhr
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。306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMQwJHY6PBy
306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡisDBM2vR6j
「那要是紫藤遇到危險怎麼辦！」倏地，杜若站起身、提高音量306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZa7iAkb8en
306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8Ej4zM11gW
「我就是為了保護自己，才會去學習要怎麼搏鬥。」306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCwFcgvpA2j
306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg4xFM6HDuu
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。306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYSPG8wjmoG
306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo6l0GdZHMC
「可是、假如對方有槍、假如遇到像今天一樣的事……」306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlRGl3KTcf6
306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwn2Q1WFp3T
「我是不會讓自己被殺死的。」306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgQ6v76TD3s
306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNcAZrmwHR7
「紫藤明明就傷成這樣、還說這種話……！」306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcElkMv0H4j
306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiIAgjCZ5bf
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。306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJRTpHx6W0m
306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡci9jZMMWfu
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。306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡntCez8LnlT
306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBrRhxEdedw
杜若雖然想甩開，但卻在一半就失去了力氣。306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdjXEfQrBYo
306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkqPDo7YKRN
「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……」306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfjapDienwH
306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCgMzuenveM
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。306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxPxrm2SgKi
306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCxF57Xl1Ds
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？306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr0vKrEkrlW
306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLGYUuWpvpq
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。306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgj5O00tB2E
306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHidEdY8A3q
最後，紫藤還是用了奸詐的說法。306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq54I5cScFf
306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo72FR4DozA
「我跟陶壺叔約定過，說不會讓妳受傷了。」306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq0XqlT0Nh2
306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwtHmcypA08
「那難道紫藤要我看著妳受傷嗎？」306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb876zW90Sg
306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdjcmkdQ4Jg
雖然夾雜著鼻音、但這句話卻如此強而有力。306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlN21gQmduF
306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxEj20diJQ3
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。306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUCAxLRYL07
306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgpKJ6PZECd
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。306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlJ9HhGOscm
306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR4HqSpFD6w
而紫藤打算再在杜若的身上再添一層相同的痛苦嗎？306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTZNqnT06Ga
306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6k6ESQXbxs
紫藤無法回答，只是沉默地別開了視線。306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ19tdz9rxIe
306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJyUmMGp8da
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？306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh3DK9ZBok6
306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLficVC474x
哪條路都是崎嶇，哪條路也都是痛苦。306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs1G1OTfuXH
306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlWaZMsq1Ww
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？306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQULYtGiO2F
306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzmBS6fU8CW
只因為就連接受也是痛苦吧。306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9eFKDhZasD
306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5psMv0bpuv
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？306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFyAGgVpxhm
306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd7o1RFQawb
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。306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmMtLqraZ5R
306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡptS8sHmhhB
思及至此，紫藤才慢慢地放鬆了手中的力道。306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD7LfQAXO5W
306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsnrBR4dXm1
「答應我、要先保護好妳自己。」306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ30DYAXD4gg
306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTg6Mm5x5GW
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。306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡug95pyyqI4
306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmSDMzFSs1T
「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。306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX1q1CzqtCE
306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJW3KGZvxaA
「所以，我的份就用來保護紫藤吧！」306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx1f5r5p9UL
306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvjPX1qZZfU
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。306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgi4dG6XLnD
306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZyv5KsdguH
「喔喔！紫藤笑了耶！」306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdXE8kJQnOm
306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ0FzobVkWC
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。306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡox8hfMiKTT
306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMSBIKTHHMS
「哇啊啊——！對不起！」杜若立刻慌張地放下手來。306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQxR6cvCdMu
306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn0kD0lGDCk
疼痛雖然還沒散去，但紫藤還是發自內心地笑了。306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVgyFuN7abT
306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvs8iu5lgI8
「……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？」306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5MeofzWiSA
306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUo4ddk6qGi
「咦？」這提議讓紫藤也感到意外地眨了眨眼。306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSPeZFNQ47s
306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHJQ7Ysvh0L
「雖然是我自己猜的……不過狐狸應該很擅長找人吧。」306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbgGvo2heaR
306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg4VKjjrKn9
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。306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK0ZYcGxN82
306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCuL5T9UoBg
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。306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNsBMDfK4wO
306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmXP3tj2Wvd
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。306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkIGPXDtNne
306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCK0Vf1XrO3
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？306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwEYs8lyu0e
306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWBPUp8hiuA
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？306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpqK7owkp7T
306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzgScGAtJfJ
「那……可以幫我跟狐狸說說看嗎？」306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwDTMILdNDv
306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡePUx1Vn2Hq
「當然呀，這是我提議的嘛～」杜若自信地抱起手臂、挺起胸膛。306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaVZbdTMcp6
306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvKq1wPXu09
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。306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOtrePT6w9j
306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9PjfZbclFW
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。306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXAVs4KpiLo
306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjJ5j3PtMFR
「妳的傷……換我幫妳吧。」306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7FSQy4apJc
306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiHuHORQj95
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。306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSgkVXveIlz
306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvJTHxpC6IS
「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。306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDzMJL9bgrh
306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNbbWO3Zrkb
「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。306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHI9oZuhPGY
306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWp8qP483lf
「撕得開來嗎？」杜若看著紫藤有些僵硬的動作，有所顧慮地問。306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDLQdYSwA4y
306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXNk3Y09aL6
「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。306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOB16fgnk8U
306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHkJIjZWxyc
「……好了。換膝蓋吧。」306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡme6fpB4Ka5
306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFtV72BLcw3
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。306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHSoMljQ4fj
306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM0wf8WQfkb
「我臉上有什麼嗎？」紫藤不解地偏過頭。306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzzx03M3TX7
306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwf9zByz91Z
「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：306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlwFI2NhOMN
306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZa1ujwfGLf
「只是覺得紫藤認真的模樣……果然好帥喔。」306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZDn743bi4V
306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhICCFHSVjk
突如其來的稱讚，令紫藤頓時耳根一熱。306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrLqYAKnWbO
306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiwv8Kwhh2r
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？306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa4qSS0LcsD
306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5PH3SUzKdQ
「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：306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP9LnAdWotO
306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVMzIhxSwEm
「謝謝……」306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4LgXDNUNBP
306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2anBMI8gz7
「嗯？」306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbFg4CWINi4
306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ84aL7gY5Zw
「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……！」306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdrGHUtZyTg
306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8GYtElMT5u
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。306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡekQTQiQPaF
306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZeKtEq2zDx
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。306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlZkk5KjiQ0
306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ76Bp5rcuy4
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。306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJEbemUqhkN
306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJx5ztbHgQ1
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。306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVqfruaRk4v
306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbnSubejN5m
「稍微……稍微彎起來一點。」306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL5XLmsu99D
306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDulE2YJXbZ
「這樣？」306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBySMz82A09
306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡerErRrip97
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。306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQraLdNfrQm
306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRXJC5TuIqB
「……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。306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPxmWf7UqKd
306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjNyhlHs3up
於是紫藤收起醫療用品，起身將箱子放回原位。306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEcLx5VRW4F
306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkBZnmFZhNg
「對了，剛才紫藤提到的事件……」306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqb38pexsVC
306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOdVj9XR9Qs
就在要踏出房門的時候，杜若忽然想到了什麼似地開了口。306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOj37URoM0X
306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxlafMNVr47
「事件、是倒塌事件嗎？」306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjIm9QI5c7o
306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyZ3CFFZLiF
「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。306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaLjWgfmQul
306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbMbmxV6QWb
「怎麼了嗎？」看見杜若的模樣，令紫藤擔心地走了回去。306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsT6qRdOj2F
306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfC0midLuQz
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。306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpqxJERF1dE
306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3ew5qMyNGV
「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！」306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi3MYerEGno
306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUpQscFLgzi
紫藤雖然感到疑惑，卻還是沒有多問地走出了房間。306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy9XcJfzQxk
306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW7LPJ0qEQP
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。306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNVyZZnzU9U
306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVbP9pIXd14
「我們……好像弄錯順序了耶。」306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj0SokgfNdi
306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx3L3VHp5Cq
「……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。306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡleroMcYXda
306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvUJALH6wlz
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。306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqXnOht9CIX
306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOy7aBjUHrE
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。306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT6Kwmw6fio
306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH2HUJMt2oS
「紫藤需要我幫忙嗎？」306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfFuS3ymZBr
306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEttND0npKZ
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。306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQZEUCrsuGA
306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvSL5a4l3iN
「我、我自己來就可以了……」306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0T8UruRgyA
306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuw4KMrQScI
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。306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcRSCZFHG2F
306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ83L1ZkQ7N4
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。306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ68eVJ2kPdr
306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKbWcctdSUA
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。306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0ghFqAZCkI
306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEJECvzhmO6
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。306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDNo01FH0Qv

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。306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMrB2ShO9di
306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKXYi8tpVi8
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？306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ86D8YqFBBX

「……紫藤。」306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjBOmqSXOeo
306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgPsaiI0jVM
「怎麼了？」306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoHAgOu2Ty1
306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAp4puakbVk
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。306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT6kt5XW705
306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ12wgNfwcPI
「紫藤說、會一直在我身邊……我可以相信紫藤吧？」306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMRacJTkHl0
306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTqICzAWYoP
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。306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBZ0nD2YQOf
306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKSmHx5RT0J
紫藤伸出手輕蓋在了杜若的後腦，卻沒有辦法就這麼點頭。306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoGcJF9ph2Y
306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsXDBke9P4T
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？306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkhmXUE1QZM
306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4zMcTZLro7
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。306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgaOQyLhDJF
306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH1asoi7Bth
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。306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBmf5JgqhZc
306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyVu4NgD5Ko
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？306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6BXZXejHSd
306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWGwDNt54WS
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。306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3PCtLyHOAD
306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnSOzkvyx4B
不過紫藤現在就在這裡。306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVXnxAdD4Md
306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHmHpUXzeyq
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。306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7smUIGLRJK
306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsaNp9E0YUn
於是、紫藤探出指頭，用指腹輕貼上了杜若的臉頰。306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmRTzIVfMUY
306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8uBfIfgoae
「……我會試著做到的。」306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8NydZF6a8K
306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRW8cRZblf2
「什麼嘛……」聽見這不乾脆的回答，杜若便沒輒地笑了。306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡya0XTNqj8r
306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡayV4QXf3eB
「不過……我相信紫藤喔。」306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB0VuG6hRb5
306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡydSMKiEaXr
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。306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3ErugPzbk1
306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjqMh4C3XmR
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。306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIGkyceBs2x
306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ67eLs9SkTB
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。306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy383pDNuAU
306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAp8jb4PJRs
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。306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEGF4uCBDt9
306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpzb6yXm9in
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。306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsSZ6YdA687
