迴響的隆隆聲如同夢境般遠去。280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGvmefwjkPU
280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkOQj561Edv
從開出的小縫裡，一道狹窄的光切開了無邊無際的黑暗。280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOXxfUec2j5
280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvCls5IQTS2
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。280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2bh8n3unCB
280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyOC0kn0sbo
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。280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXNlDMp4L6Z
280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE1fqjL42ju
連沙華會都靜謐下來，就代表連凌晨也快要結束了吧。280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWNuyWVngtF
280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTXZ7bdiauK
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。280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdYMvv7VScT
280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiEVCqhTpF5
「走吧。我們一起回去。」280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEH5YhtYLTD
280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz7UdMgbuww
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。280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoycF95pMY3
280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtOF40wCnbp
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。280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoZxqS5cxer
280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXJkB4dyUin
為了處理傷口，杜若讓紫藤靠到了床板上頭。280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7EmR2OIci3
280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvukwrcSkpq
「嗚……！」280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjnX4eSsEY1
280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjr5y8WoWSn
消毒藥水碰到傷口的劇痛，讓紫藤吃痛地叫出悶聲。280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡryJ9K1V9tM
280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXcKzHVkQ9A
「很痛嗎……？」杜若停下動作，擔憂地看向紫藤。280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL7yeBee18o
280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfo59XFUcyf
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。280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjNSWHwWMbi
280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5VyMhnePF4
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。280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4jJg6ZVWIw
280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRRiz7qbGIQ
「……我還可以忍。」說完，紫藤打直手臂。280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqF2AblEwmS
280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1DDWqrksUJ
杜若點點頭，卻宛如做錯了事一般地垂下眼簾。280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPCVI9njoTZ
280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡunmIx2gNVF
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。280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlf8n7YOccl
280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaLkG29OXqU
「那、再忍耐一下就好。」280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuHTTIQqTbJ
280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkLNgyoufq5
「呼、呼……嗚——！」280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ09iXFqzup5
280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKOjycusEpZ
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。280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe2qmUALnEl
280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrCLEGdjkDd
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。280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1jSWd5p5Wf
280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9w2WvTiMTs
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。280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu4jO9rkVtP
280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm81TA0snBH
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。280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyviAExu82v
280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJiVeCQ1phS
「還要喝嗎？」杜若捧著還有一半的水杯，輕柔地問。280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpKYN5DY2SP
280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuQqJTMBdXB
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。280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdMfha1St77
280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyARqT46b4t
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。280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkgxFQincoj
280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNgcCaz5quj
「……謝謝。」280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡecgzQykUJj
280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8gQJLlyc3R
「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。280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj3KKY6uENr
280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvShOSRpt9z
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。280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4mS6uVltEf
280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcgBmwDPJG7
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。280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeC9P5rfl8t
280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1mMc8pFNPL
不過，這無疑都是事實。280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5MxeeB0qUT
280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ87J96D3idp
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。280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0nTOSEOO4D
280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo1Ak6EYnkz
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。280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs9TUdjj4x5
280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAVAVHOPCDf
「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。280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTQB2otrfAp
280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ10RSL44fqD
沉默了半晌，紫藤才慢慢地開口。280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWfoZNNlKPx
280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOrmCN1tOhn
「是我媽媽的遺物。」280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWOfsf4Bawi
280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjwfD3dQQSG
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。280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkKHw7wj0OI
280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2Dj8JCMrRC
「咦……？那為什麼會在墨駒的手裡呀？」杜若不假思索地問道。280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsqU5PpJ4wK
280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiMQzsbHtkh
「我也不知道。」紫藤搖搖頭，黯然地闔上雙眼。280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaBUF121RJR
280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPdu0MgwYGq
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。280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJa7FK5hWaG
280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiD2MmkhRd0
「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：280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg0JtuQ5HSV
280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgLCKGQW3C1
「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。」280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUyJ38h0NfI
280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjaQnGWaiW6
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。280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQkM6g8pU4d
280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtv0UooMXJW
「這就是那時候、他們從媽媽的身上搶走的東西之一。」280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrPqIxPIZDw
280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEmdLd9b5zZ
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。280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5bXk205dgm
280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkJkHB6UYDF
從那時起，濺在臉上的那朵紅花就已經在紫藤的心頭生根。280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLR7ci5YGZx
280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNssDiOVLwa
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。280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWsXHcQthuG
280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE74SUIqItZ
「原來……這是對紫藤來說這麼重要的東西啊。」280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkB0j6xJZ2v
280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwmjqEFVAqI
「嗯。」紫藤在胸前連同戒指握緊了拳頭。280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4GUmJ677hA
280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgMDelEqOB4
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。280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuQ3vdPlFJO
280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKWhDfYFHOl
自己已經不想要再失去任何東西了。280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPHjEVADgAd
280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ31SeuNNJH0
「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。280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡltuY4NDkIq
280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmb5HP6InLP
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。280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcjH2T69wCu
280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1bnjJgp1Lz
「媽媽他——」280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz3gw0PCJvR
280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS2DHwBRe48
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。280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8J227ZXFDb
280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ07bzU5GgDu
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」。280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5ugemMZUXm
280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡynk3mMYRQq
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。280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqkRqsT9bBn
280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJWyvMgD1xf
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。280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2xaI8T49ux
280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0ln0otEJsg
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。280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnqNLisXLED
280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJwodIcRp9N
但紫藤一點都不喜歡學校。280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd030vhSzY3
280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ6qCQKByOg
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。280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡscRGvvHH87
280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn7Iopwyb2W
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。280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBz6jFgEdwZ
280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ87y0qKpHWE
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。280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPdeLUXWvxe
280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxhQ7TqUUvr
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。280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMiwnhubfZ5
280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhys1LS2aCF
嗯，這樣就夠了。那時的紫藤只有這麼單純的滿足。280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpmdg7LzOjy
280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe5n5Y8oOa5
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。280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwcAsqNQbsU
280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGQYdrx2GGO
那是一起倒塌事件。280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡasAEoZBCT9
280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR5ON9WhRKe
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。280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUqLB1650qN
280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbJNEMcGHGH
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。280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4tMdknq49u
280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGJRAw8k3xJ
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。280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjwUgAsaEeO
280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw6aAe2r1cQ
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。280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGlbl5fyDKn
280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIkoqTpTmuj
「……我會找到給墨駒這個戒指的人。」280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXXkXoal6Rd
280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZK32Ola4lN
收起回憶，紫藤再次握緊了戒指。280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXLOIOU1sj6
280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMh9k84f8eZ
「然後，殺了他。」280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx0mimqMyUQ
280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk1PKOH5zRt
紫藤的眼神猶如熾火，沒有一分一毫的搖曳。280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuBP8MZohML
280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoVdETag0Mw
但只不過幾秒，便很快地萎靡了下來。280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7V00Fy42Gc
280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV6o7F3DCbr
「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。」280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXHq3SmLT3w
280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5jfqMyfZSC
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。280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTA3nNX9bxG
280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJDKy2wRTxQ
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。280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5uNR6bZxdB
280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjTVveKMVEm
「原來、這就是紫藤想要跟我一起行動的原因呀。」280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTyWUM8IUIB
280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFattktpe1g
「……嗯。」280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTEQxce5ZXx
280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA2dgLsazgl
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。280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuK2qBg5qbr
280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZivJrOPbBt
紫藤深信，這就是自己向那些骯髒禽獸復仇的楔子。280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLOW3qmnUbv
280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGbf7t7RYPW
這就是足以斬斷自己心頭那朵紅花的白刃。280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOIhkoqirAw
280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4YcETRtKC8
「……杜若妳呢？」280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcM5mBfxnrY
280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjXSB93unSE
紫藤拾起快要滿溢的情感，回望了杜若那如新月般的雙眸。280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡePAutBosGp
280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF70ZpNtdiD
「又是為什麼……會開始當殺手？」280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvrgc3VuUH5
280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDIw2Bjuymh
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。280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpLm5Mjylxr
280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhQIykG586W
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。280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3PJJa11WgO
280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPWUM6f7AZh
「紫藤……不會生氣吧？」280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpmBP4BZSUM
280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7dQiAJ1FIG
杜若果然還在意著那時自己的衝動。280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvxZ0Llmu9z
280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFGlskYLIIv
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。280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs4HCr83YK1
280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8IbHYM9bHi
「不會。」紫藤堅定地說：「我保證。」280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRVUXGKGGrz
280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGeeYPWnrOh
等到紫藤緩緩收起手後，杜若才按著胸口，下定決心地開口。280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFMvTqhIEE9
280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW5YHZByJdC
「……我想要救陶壺叔。」280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPlSnaJBdPd
280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxzjzjhOUI9
杜若喃喃吐出的回答令紫藤感到十分意外。280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2menxYDsHa
280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkAsOkx3QcI
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？280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdmJTSzVbZb
280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvAmKGdABuw
就好像發現了紫藤的疑惑，杜若幽幽地繼續說道：280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0UCAzKErR5
280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh9KvPe5MJm
「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。」280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU61spWyDnH
280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtJiY9ckrwB
全身慢慢就會不能動的病？280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgtvJGVOVb3
280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCO0lHntpSd
這種病紫藤是頭一次聽見。280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoHWJfKMTtz
280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡohXRuTWzHD
「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。」280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPt4UvyFxCm
280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIsUZN9HMpx
「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。280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRQFsHWSoyK
280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEclmb1oHKW
「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。」280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzlVPhsbyVO
280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWwuQMf52QD
杜若的笑只看得見無力。280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLvS9n7753J
280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3p4OuDNGAJ
「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。」280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwDF7V2Yjve
280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEINuRTyFz6
到這裡，杜若便沒有繼續說下去了。280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrSDnCgFZCE
280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOnLizrIZbZ
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。280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnQ3uCrkWzl
280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL1nhrlCWqn
然而，紫藤卻忍不住想要質疑的念頭。280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡasl5kMjL3u
280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRVbOKtgLEP
「那個狐狸、真的就這麼值得相信嗎？」280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRwIIS6Kq12
280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcwWAdGQOz9
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。280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqvhAfFd60w
280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIofvfanyBH
「……狐狸一直都對我很好呀。」280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCNrG5cT3tK
280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmdVaN991fL
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。280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡitGei0CsjN
280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcEtdbhjEOK
「所以，我還是相信狐狸。」280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7vbUZxZJZ6
280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgrHjI56WX5
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。280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMR2ju2n2CN
280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxh0JSx7P1b
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。280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh3Fn9rGsMG
280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfPitueGXbV
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。280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBMXHdW460d
280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbLvO6TWLBS
哪怕、就算那道光芒是朝自己射出的子彈也一樣。280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxgCAATMUHK
280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnAnOuOYWQi
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？280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfCqwmgcOcy

這怎麼可能。280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbF08drKZpq
280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ65wAFQKZ7
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。280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4G97EA2w1f
280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjCLQqmAVh6
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。280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOxTaT2mIMk
280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1PFQcpNYon
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。280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSmbczlFNj3
280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB9HEhIZTnP
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。280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0Op0C3ZbI4
280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlyps3Evr8x
察覺到掌心的柔軟，杜若看著紫藤靦腆地一笑。280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK48BUVG2VB
280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtaKtUHYAXZ
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280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbFmj7tkSkN
280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4t0lR5lcDv
「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。280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAapSTgspZS
280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZoTEHKNMBY
「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！」280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ42xivNCDrx
280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx2HzWOaAqf
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。280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHfAOMZDodE
280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXBcYVSkktf
「不過，果然還是不能夠靠沙華會的人呢。」280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZSZrYLU0Id
280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ1hjKhB7s6
經過剛才被反擊的經驗，讓兩人都對這點有了更多的共識。280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRSWidVZtQb
280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ87k5kd0xOk
說了句「話說回來」後，杜若就一轉話鋒、向紫藤問道：280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNytgfVwdDW
280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiJeiHW9OYt
「紫藤想要殺掉的人又是誰呀？紫藤還記得嗎？」280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoB9RwF2C9o
280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP6uFaBbcLK
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。280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSD576PWPmi
280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnDT6lhsaTo
「是一個……在脖子後面紋著白色線條的沙華會紋身的人。」280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJN1Boefbzr
280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEkkB0CKGxX
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。280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT9vALYmKlJ
280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFin6VxvMQV
「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。」280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc8BnZbMnR6
280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8cNE3NppcZ
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。280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1Qc9PsjxSK
280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjvPYifQlo2
「這樣的話，我也來幫忙吧！」杜若自告奮勇地舉高手：280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFyGeIOKXQf
280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ25pbdIPHcL
「兩個人一起找絕對比較快的！」280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFpvqt5FgNh
280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEHoAhG8yr0
杜若的模樣、讓紫藤晚了一步才發現自己說錯了話。280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCujZTx623o
280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQIjFzlcY7T
紫藤默默地低下頭、沉聲回答。280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjfkwp132ZL
280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ43eHjDQw8D
「……不用那樣。我……我自己就夠了。」280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5amf0C094T
280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIVsjxt4qBE
這冷淡的回答讓杜若頓時像被潑了水的貓咪似地一愣。280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTWLWlpVXGF
280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdLYqT7RB0D
「可是、紫藤不是說到現在都……」280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR96NYb4fAe
280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOyYBj2mKHd
「這本來就是我自己的事。」280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfiY6zPjTYk
280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXmpPpaOWIB
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。280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkyUetIZ0H8
280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡglRp5ajsPi
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。280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzV7TUo1pJa
280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiasv2XR4N5
「那要是紫藤遇到危險怎麼辦！」倏地，杜若站起身、提高音量280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl53xQAdXHu
280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡusfd4Yyhan
「我就是為了保護自己，才會去學習要怎麼搏鬥。」280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxmhlFkbcB8
280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ82vbC0sNxu
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。280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPxD5TXYEV6
280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh0oFUa1Ndj
「可是、假如對方有槍、假如遇到像今天一樣的事……」280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL8L1kTQiAD
280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx19uCGokI6
「我是不會讓自己被殺死的。」280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsHRWGP22Pg
280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQuXqOzTtUD
「紫藤明明就傷成這樣、還說這種話……！」280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIa9xBJwbzR
280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtzRab3dhWl
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。280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxzb0yucr1B
280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXRDAyiU5pW
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。280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ03eumS6I8v
280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGqVbgjXdOp
杜若雖然想甩開，但卻在一半就失去了力氣。280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoccM3KUW2p
280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxHM5HBoqTv
「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……」280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMeOIXpglkZ
280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMRkDCJNhyU
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。280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZnsr4QOBbz
280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAKkbBeWJvr
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？280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvYiRF1QLMK
280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNIfowHxevv
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。280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSc8Zc3ZSEi
280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyp2lBUEKdG
最後，紫藤還是用了奸詐的說法。280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOnfwsFd2cD
280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqSlyOZFIYl
「我跟陶壺叔約定過，說不會讓妳受傷了。」280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv9hQ8LpVgO
280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXSFR2QCiJd
「那難道紫藤要我看著妳受傷嗎？」280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAy5gGjU1Yu
280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ35MvHbApcN
雖然夾雜著鼻音、但這句話卻如此強而有力。280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEeXCyE08fb
280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmitk9zrcMV
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。280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXlMViP1BEC
280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHLEuiaVKkS
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。280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwlyInSkIku
280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIZNcECFxqP
而紫藤打算再在杜若的身上再添一層相同的痛苦嗎？280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyXtuLA79SQ
280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3D9Y8JKvl2
紫藤無法回答，只是沉默地別開了視線。280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK3PMlrYaQw
280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJqIxsyN6wd
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？280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡig8dMpd9CJ
280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrvQVHpVAS2
哪條路都是崎嶇，哪條路也都是痛苦。280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQt5lUVO7UW
280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhLPfTXYp3d
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？280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBYO5hYHJWF
280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOQLjq370AY
只因為就連接受也是痛苦吧。280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwR4SUOymUN
280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEwq9VHuwQs
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？280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCSb0aAKxNm
280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaaokqCAuMV
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。280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4BnEaaTs0I
280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS7dQO0YlJo
思及至此，紫藤才慢慢地放鬆了手中的力道。280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKRwhsvpo3d
280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQnY70njqQP
「答應我、要先保護好妳自己。」280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF8maNZmSLU
280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJxrjTNAc0Z
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。280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzPOtE7zhVE
280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ2wXajt9ZD
「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。280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ127jJpBWNv
280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCJTd0hXVpB
「所以，我的份就用來保護紫藤吧！」280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC9NIjExDud
280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU7UcoSCAu3
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。280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3OdPWUi454
280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlJb11Ci5Uo
「喔喔！紫藤笑了耶！」280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4nQC7oOwRl
280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcBWj9KWMy5
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。280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGTaxjnTmq7
280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡejjGCs3MzJ
「哇啊啊——！對不起！」杜若立刻慌張地放下手來。280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOVY3BUKche
280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXgiB8mN221
疼痛雖然還沒散去，但紫藤還是發自內心地笑了。280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0r3UIqmbSX
280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlgeF6TilWW
「……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？」280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRvdlB3NLwJ
280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdzgR3vMELl
「咦？」這提議讓紫藤也感到意外地眨了眨眼。280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqtiY580Yzo
280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpC7FH9zS4e
「雖然是我自己猜的……不過狐狸應該很擅長找人吧。」280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbsFTnaMYSU
280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA3wEsVcOXn
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。280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbZyLx5vzop
280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIQMAtdGl7o
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。280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnze0NwKvCQ
280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqOTmiChJp0
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。280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVPdLZrkUQL
280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyYyWtkoka0
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？280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeCqOJxSSKt
280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0ZlLtFUZhQ
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？280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsSAznmpmqC
280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCMKV7UFHsC
「那……可以幫我跟狐狸說說看嗎？」280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSLHN2DJ0Z6
280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbeW9yavPPp
「當然呀，這是我提議的嘛～」杜若自信地抱起手臂、挺起胸膛。280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiKj5CUJASc
280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl7xIpP7Oec
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。280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡACWj4OQD0b
280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrg7pQJxtFO
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。280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz4lXBv8tWM
280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFQ3MVErrhg
「妳的傷……換我幫妳吧。」280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMsCHKF7QPz
280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡASQnJlPzxD
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。280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT1jl3lmiit
280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtwa7fNGIe3
「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。280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA3K4SH9gsJ
280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAwb1mznf3s
「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。280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVQHjBP1ruB
280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE8zkA4RjzO
「撕得開來嗎？」杜若看著紫藤有些僵硬的動作，有所顧慮地問。280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzAH6NnsTSb
280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsFaQAPW9bY
「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。280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqzWQC1QAVK
280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5VC8NxkUjQ
「……好了。換膝蓋吧。」280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqo8Z7s8HBl
280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCzgFj7SVvv
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。280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2L3Mibd8eU
280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvt4twQqrW6
「我臉上有什麼嗎？」紫藤不解地偏過頭。280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjHVVJRb4bW
280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ7sOrx0I1K
「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：280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNT87oP3YoF
280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwm2y7fqbQs
「只是覺得紫藤認真的模樣……果然好帥喔。」280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyjVLWrYpYk
280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbosIB3HSHx
突如其來的稱讚，令紫藤頓時耳根一熱。280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwqweRSp0zT
280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGFpXebKusY
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？280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡswjd4iy85Z
280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKgxWFezSoN
「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：280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUaIr0v9zTp
280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzafnKN0o5l
「謝謝……」280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAhO2pTbzQL
280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ45zmFyC6Pt
「嗯？」280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLquXZtHFdq
280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuPU96FAqie
「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……！」280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxwsMJzVnty
280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ30r6aJgFIl
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。280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUGQnYcA14Q
280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs2D6HFHbQj
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。280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiG4GdreuV8
280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr0Xhp8qMNN
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。280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ52buzkYMS1
280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJAMnwu2KOJ
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。280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoT5QsXwQtO
280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVaXlJNPbrL
「稍微……稍微彎起來一點。」280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcAH3Y2nOk8
280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ52lEsQ75aK
「這樣？」280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL8lWeMTSHV
280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRQtxvwkZCl
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。280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4JuXGi5ao2
280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5iQZ5eQrdq
「……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。280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOjqxFWZRoC
280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡengTyBsqqw
於是紫藤收起醫療用品，起身將箱子放回原位。280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsNb7f3CHDg
280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAQBtlgVf4k
「對了，剛才紫藤提到的事件……」280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVZRLZ8AHiu
280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfS0lRwz39d
就在要踏出房門的時候，杜若忽然想到了什麼似地開了口。280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP4vur6kyj0
280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxXdRlMBZQR
「事件、是倒塌事件嗎？」280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnYAZWPHtrm
280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGijnQ7MuFF
「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。280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWbYAhlylWd
280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxDv4GPXpqG
「怎麼了嗎？」看見杜若的模樣，令紫藤擔心地走了回去。280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtUA4Tt2Crq
280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCNEP95uF2w
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。280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqk5GvN8ORy
280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfOLzJA9AuB
「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！」280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIPD68Ki2on
280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVAWXqVV66V
紫藤雖然感到疑惑，卻還是沒有多問地走出了房間。280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEXuuL2tq0M
280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwDGlymQpsg
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。280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiKTFZSFDMs
280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGUb5x77F9q
「我們……好像弄錯順序了耶。」280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOFe1nl3ifq
280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn9wFVgp85p
「……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。280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaNOjN8cJu2
280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4kvGR74loi
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。280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1PBT7gJc8I
280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWB8fi0tr5y
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。280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjnpUw4aCT0
280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqM2ybjzPCl
「紫藤需要我幫忙嗎？」280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmezgo9305R
280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq3th2RTpL7
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。280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡABkQq5qeoI
280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyuZkF5UlEN
「我、我自己來就可以了……」280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMx6qVKVmEC
280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNq97DhwLJQ
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。280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB36aUSswTb
280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ351Yp5Pdx2
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。280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4xvOytJHlH
280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ47CBvJ7t6p
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。280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz6TkIC9DIv
280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡew4P5XwJQn
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。280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIks7QgVYaK
280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1obhPko74d
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。280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXcLSdgm43g

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？280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcid4W1640d
280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGqNrU8ulr6
「……紫藤。」280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoj4h0xBgRx
280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbqtEdYy3xd
「怎麼了？」280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlAVLVik8F1
280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQZ57geBbP6
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。280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFnm6UQIOsc
280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZne1BGodO9
「紫藤說、會一直在我身邊……我可以相信紫藤吧？」280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIsmbklXqHJ
280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnMegov26pu
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。280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnvM3xJY6Vc
280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5DGKMUi82f
紫藤伸出手輕蓋在了杜若的後腦，卻沒有辦法就這麼點頭。280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNRmn1zk2FZ
280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQIu2aMKIku
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？280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjqPOfpoyXf
280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBV5uK6A9zV
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。280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKlxqVcGzf3
280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqjZg6QCFmf
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。280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbO4jGrie1t
280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7M1wt2EXNP
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？280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCqkRebMlFu
280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLHv5uXN2oV
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。280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRSeG07YhBr
280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNEM6lRJUsA
不過紫藤現在就在這裡。280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXKcgdM4UNi
280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpkQB5yt37l
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。280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCHDGrVKWeC
280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfoSdi6a6fU
於是、紫藤探出指頭，用指腹輕貼上了杜若的臉頰。280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYaAha3fw92
280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8TILT8Cw9p
「……我會試著做到的。」280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5EOiwrJ9Tz
280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7BwHGoXxQG
「什麼嘛……」聽見這不乾脆的回答，杜若便沒輒地笑了。280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0E4P1dRygm
280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaDNctQVnrv
「不過……我相信紫藤喔。」280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj5Gk1gLtCQ
280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeBxcd6r4Sk
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。280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxFGBw443L6
280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT5yQ2DjvhE
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。280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeTOGe4zmc2
280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYtPcL1pg1Y
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。280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡonaefwNWVe
280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdviCGXgPeV
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。280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYrDD0Hdx7j
280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAEbi1OjiRo
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。280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLlGHogXI1g
