迴響的隆隆聲如同夢境般遠去。350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzZYyEtulnt
350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQB3WQ1Sp6X
從開出的小縫裡，一道狹窄的光切開了無邊無際的黑暗。350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNvi40NNr15
350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh8ZWwq8K2O
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。350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKdTu2gY9EJ
350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuTvbM73NIM
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。350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbzcwiZH34j
350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIoTZUuoIu1
連沙華會都靜謐下來，就代表連凌晨也快要結束了吧。350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRbUQDEly8w
350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDSeQsRLXDT
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。350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLMUuNHcGSd
350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2HmfQAaTj5
「走吧。我們一起回去。」350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlBpOwP6ORS
350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvcoZnypyhz
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。350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6m8jpXTUqy
350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrDXh0fyPTo
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。350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyjhQ9WpLoz
350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYCRqP9GFg4
為了處理傷口，杜若讓紫藤靠到了床板上頭。350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbho0tNJFlL
350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk9GfOZcSDv
「嗚……！」350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrdhA9PJaNy
350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwZ7IsHi5DF
消毒藥水碰到傷口的劇痛，讓紫藤吃痛地叫出悶聲。350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbfPGCXL5Lh
350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwmmw627QfN
「很痛嗎……？」杜若停下動作，擔憂地看向紫藤。350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpKlbtbalzd
350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7oX9EGCBEW
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。350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGibk8h7V0g
350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFJNE6u0kuu
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。350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMkDLwhCFNJ
350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2fuMQneWvb
「……我還可以忍。」說完，紫藤打直手臂。350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXLqqJ3qmMG
350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoU6XskGQ67
杜若點點頭，卻宛如做錯了事一般地垂下眼簾。350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuoapPiRcrx
350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUDFMrXQW0T
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。350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡByelCk8Pzs
350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJnQCFIHwDp
「那、再忍耐一下就好。」350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5n78lKl6g0
350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfoGCSCAcB5
「呼、呼……嗚——！」350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDjovRrsMUh
350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBjbdJrApeq
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。350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbKz2NCTcrD
350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB6FBtciCpL
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。350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJj3fhCPRbD
350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsWRmLBHSrU
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。350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZk2cNbNYxW
350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjArrbk7UC8
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。350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhpoxTJiuwB
350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjlYYQOQNGO
「還要喝嗎？」杜若捧著還有一半的水杯，輕柔地問。350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5wkP1kwfj9
350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtgsolWLkQa
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。350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIkEa7KFWGQ
350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS9mYPFdhj0
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。350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwHTDbcgCLW
350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTSRhsCEJsS
「……謝謝。」350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZbkQK3LbcA
350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLEHy1RsRSC
「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。350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhoPSI0w3SP
350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMdF05DCFFF
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。350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkQeHY3Ukgd
350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyqCa7dlSMd
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。350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMsjpjLQfQY
350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5uMKP1pOMP
不過，這無疑都是事實。350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhrXtq7QyOI
350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡISk6vjDvZQ
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。350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJcQhsWvIec
350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmOUbr0tVma
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。350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡstwg0jjr5a
350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh2Ru9VlY2W
「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。350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf47gCFyVqb
350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8OLK7NLqSi
沉默了半晌，紫藤才慢慢地開口。350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY5x3RF1rAv
350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3pzsb4qrlZ
「是我媽媽的遺物。」350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaThApaATlW
350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3G05CNPtDp
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。350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡczetttLOOU
350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1oIIT9VsJj
「咦……？那為什麼會在墨駒的手裡呀？」杜若不假思索地問道。350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZWtezChXmu
350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVoOYkEOlk2
「我也不知道。」紫藤搖搖頭，黯然地闔上雙眼。350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzMMy5SKIVr
350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEt1IFDEnaa
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。350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH3Gnh3VmWP
350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLRAh5pONBx
「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：350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAvBGlsBzaD
350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡItwD0BztJ2
「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。」350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPpCXAlM0ao
350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQR1pcMXX7N
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。350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1seuJr58eV
350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKe0DE084sN
「這就是那時候、他們從媽媽的身上搶走的東西之一。」350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf7tqXRD9aM
350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7pGeWuqd7l
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。350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡalJ5mU0DUa
350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWB2ufPUxog
從那時起，濺在臉上的那朵紅花就已經在紫藤的心頭生根。350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR1mu9vSTMh
350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG7yRLtHo5q
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。350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4k1TG8LeiT
350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8Ga9XbQdW9
「原來……這是對紫藤來說這麼重要的東西啊。」350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFzjND8RHUI
350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd4E1AD8n2x
「嗯。」紫藤在胸前連同戒指握緊了拳頭。350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFZG4HQttfr
350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl29r5Ap7Dm
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。350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVyBDMUoYCt
350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhIcSXojFKc
自己已經不想要再失去任何東西了。350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCL8qLk0Gm7
350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl6hCCCFE6p
「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。350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTb2xQWhmpW
350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHUWdHsh3mg
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。350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrdN1yTBYMt
350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEMqZM6X9Bn
「媽媽他——」350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyQl2T4og9Y
350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzRysWEWJge
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。350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA85FDKtzZe
350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3a4Y9MO02l
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」。350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡegX8DqLHDX
350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA02y2DoVik
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。350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGMFRcfYOuI
350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH3FJ9cZWet
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。350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiOp5ghId3Z
350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKckvO35Byb
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。350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzZmuGZ23pw
350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOCJ0xov13d
但紫藤一點都不喜歡學校。350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvN6xIn2vSg
350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs5SqQ1MKuU
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。350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrVoWwi76Z7
350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvC44OJXNr6
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。350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnXCrrIHdxF
350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrZJ2QbLrgb
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。350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlvVe5mryHL
350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzNigSxdfPl
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。350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoK9KZo8ZIC
350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1mRKmwvk90
嗯，這樣就夠了。那時的紫藤只有這麼單純的滿足。350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQp4u8f0kZy
350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrFJzlWTU8T
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。350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnxFPhGX5cg
350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4LN0Uz8vUU
那是一起倒塌事件。350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSEQjCb7EPJ
350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzTBFyGiYsX
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。350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsbAMdWFuJR
350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg4TlVQ0H7i
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。350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcBpU5jysds
350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEsO2P6HqiW
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。350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnN7Q9raToe
350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9avxZC5KRm
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。350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnctqhnQmpW
350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxfquHAfU4Y
「……我會找到給墨駒這個戒指的人。」350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQBKSNHLjQa
350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn9EDTMRXVG
收起回憶，紫藤再次握緊了戒指。350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk0Ei5tv13M
350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk6XVmGPjN6
「然後，殺了他。」350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2NUx0FlxqZ
350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFkFUhkhDad
紫藤的眼神猶如熾火，沒有一分一毫的搖曳。350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ03BwtIk6Pg
350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHtuWl4v2Oa
但只不過幾秒，便很快地萎靡了下來。350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc0wEdSbxRN
350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeWAV8JKXlZ
「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。」350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1Q1NlLublF
350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNG7pg7PKTw
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。350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwCYqPefAnz
350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH8MgQmI81O
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。350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLyGO64foF7
350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGRqJF2ev5h
「原來、這就是紫藤想要跟我一起行動的原因呀。」350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSWldbiMchP
350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG2zFgyNtT3
「……嗯。」350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSbPdZATn5V
350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyrWF5QLcVx
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。350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAs3TjcUFgV
350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy2gCZl47j6
紫藤深信，這就是自己向那些骯髒禽獸復仇的楔子。350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpdvFTUpTtJ
350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXLxnxF2Aed
這就是足以斬斷自己心頭那朵紅花的白刃。350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRHjxzoV2SK
350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkGhLmdas79
「……杜若妳呢？」350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDHjbEvGxWp
350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRDpPfiRxDx
紫藤拾起快要滿溢的情感，回望了杜若那如新月般的雙眸。350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPuc0g1vLKf
350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjjm2DYktO7
「又是為什麼……會開始當殺手？」350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5bLw6z9uNx
350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrewXjRZBjg
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。350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2i73GF2A7t
350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8dtNz0wWkW
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。350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjBRxAAyjky
350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNdFsepmQv8
「紫藤……不會生氣吧？」350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1DlRcScwUW
350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFtyv8ucxMj
杜若果然還在意著那時自己的衝動。350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlTosi2COiy
350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWaUU4zYzPc
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。350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5d6LArSNSs
350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeACaiq12DS
「不會。」紫藤堅定地說：「我保證。」350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7qLLVWcw2h
350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4OshklUfsV
等到紫藤緩緩收起手後，杜若才按著胸口，下定決心地開口。350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT4F4SIQOt5
350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj1plcb06vR
「……我想要救陶壺叔。」350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCc7AJd5dMa
350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXWH9mgnWZa
杜若喃喃吐出的回答令紫藤感到十分意外。350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwywEYXL4Dz
350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzgec4EPDV4
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？350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsYRrVdsN0T
350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTiSSYYQYfU
就好像發現了紫藤的疑惑，杜若幽幽地繼續說道：350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSEILLXcpKu
350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaYhgXuxYwP
「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。」350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsdyA0ZT45M
350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxZc91opoNH
全身慢慢就會不能動的病？350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSmhgQUvGUE
350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq7WjcH3492
這種病紫藤是頭一次聽見。350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiYfglHwaYW
350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBhLNbNyMaX
「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。」350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡygGp6v9QeS
350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLZDwyad4nF
「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。350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLN4efrmMyg
350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh3hDlH6Bdr
「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。」350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGVjziDAlOa
350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvX0lbdOZ8C
杜若的笑只看得見無力。350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn76t0Gd3A3
350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPTGadpudYb
「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。」350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6cnRInx1u7
350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkLFMgKZoLQ
到這裡，杜若便沒有繼續說下去了。350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9moHojNH1N
350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2spPXVTfcE
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。350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8wlZbWvb9k
350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgFrQZ4bDnR
然而，紫藤卻忍不住想要質疑的念頭。350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1HJMM3lAdh
350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ40vPeVKMLc
「那個狐狸、真的就這麼值得相信嗎？」350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTYY8Aj7coC
350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0O3WuEzjGK
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。350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMic5541SFq
350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv3H87zuhQL
「……狐狸一直都對我很好呀。」350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVb8p9EGYza
350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR46iUnwLiU
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。350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTbo166hPDF
350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEKHjw7itD9
「所以，我還是相信狐狸。」350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGEpaTvfWJ5
350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyzzTelWcFU
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。350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEctirH6YKV
350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSTe0DYrD7x
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。350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnUDh5echHx
350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡImGkUHZx9c
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。350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD3R8Alt6FX
350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbPNRkZbu1G
哪怕、就算那道光芒是朝自己射出的子彈也一樣。350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMzEcPPcbjq
350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGN30phGf5b
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？350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD2YMFyYCJi

這怎麼可能。350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEYHQF4EnO9
350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpTodUgv3PI
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。350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpY8v4VVQ8t
350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpVpScABfaD
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。350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRQfJDqt9ZN
350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe1XSnk8eex
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。350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkCqhRADI7q
350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXV0USxBT41
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。350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmqeIa7J94t
350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡofGyzpLtb1
察覺到掌心的柔軟，杜若看著紫藤靦腆地一笑。350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOREBQevoJg
350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzHFyLgqPmP
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350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeNRMBuTmGp
350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkpMqVgVH8a
「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。350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2LEUclIfWB
350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEAixeGb7fl
「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！」350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡirXuGyTAYC
350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9Ep7NKaLHQ
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。350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzPlrzrRzlf
350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDDLkjz5DvN
「不過，果然還是不能夠靠沙華會的人呢。」350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdSeLlhdTzD
350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC1nhWQeuUg
經過剛才被反擊的經驗，讓兩人都對這點有了更多的共識。350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgk2sFE3yKx
350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6Wy2pAxeqv
說了句「話說回來」後，杜若就一轉話鋒、向紫藤問道：350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkSQBlGmXZV
350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFRhojb89c6
「紫藤想要殺掉的人又是誰呀？紫藤還記得嗎？」350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrYahG3YdRg
350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0WS7QPNMJ3
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。350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡllQgMUtozV
350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnclZdnRnxG
「是一個……在脖子後面紋著白色線條的沙華會紋身的人。」350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjGBPKwhgRv
350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqgDzhaL85E
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。350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbC3nCuz5lc
350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ38KukZ0JIQ
「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。」350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeJ63QXUN20
350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4yDijnZbCv
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。350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEVmfANR2nS
350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpz1emE8aMZ
「這樣的話，我也來幫忙吧！」杜若自告奮勇地舉高手：350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDjwpjffqNP
350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3KldOBonxd
「兩個人一起找絕對比較快的！」350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX2uNBawRdV
350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ60luZsFJvT
杜若的模樣、讓紫藤晚了一步才發現自己說錯了話。350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKG9YOKJ2tk
350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuJxPjiYP0g
紫藤默默地低下頭、沉聲回答。350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdwBv37e8g3
350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz0y5RjMzsO
「……不用那樣。我……我自己就夠了。」350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYtWx2vfdHJ
350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoMDjlBl5py
這冷淡的回答讓杜若頓時像被潑了水的貓咪似地一愣。350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7KqgNjBnbA
350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFCbAb5yO22
「可是、紫藤不是說到現在都……」350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGFpq0bJRVD
350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1U8h7TWBIz
「這本來就是我自己的事。」350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFMLgl9zslU
350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡenVfeNCbqd
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。350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOMhnrguZzK
350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkeKHywZkFB
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。350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6mz8l3vy3h
350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXlJHoVp76A
「那要是紫藤遇到危險怎麼辦！」倏地，杜若站起身、提高音量350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn01xfkCQqC
350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoUfuOR2i5i
「我就是為了保護自己，才會去學習要怎麼搏鬥。」350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡalxowFoYy9
350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7Wo6JDL9xa
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。350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnKVM7Difrb
350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTjVxWYao4U
「可是、假如對方有槍、假如遇到像今天一樣的事……」350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyl0kvQSnzg
350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6EzmdP2mmv
「我是不會讓自己被殺死的。」350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxxcOGr0r9D
350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVIXxaGHZ5u
「紫藤明明就傷成這樣、還說這種話……！」350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNdaCYfs82u
350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaczjitQ8gj
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。350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡliPOmndssy
350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3pBNRDzmrL
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。350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbG8kBpb7Wv
350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl0GqU497MK
杜若雖然想甩開，但卻在一半就失去了力氣。350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCt5IhRNsin
350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU987mhn9uR
「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……」350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMeMfHT3VkQ
350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIrF64VwEUA
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。350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡakGB6JPna0
350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTVnPd3dF42
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？350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0YYaUDhJkW
350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP4FMTprLIk
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。350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL7zYONnUiC
350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvg5fntgRbj
最後，紫藤還是用了奸詐的說法。350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCpmlfWmSYx
350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡINZYYuyJS2
「我跟陶壺叔約定過，說不會讓妳受傷了。」350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJPySYlkyjz
350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvBhkKzX9rl
「那難道紫藤要我看著妳受傷嗎？」350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQQkssFVEBW
350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo0ijkXlpjD
雖然夾雜著鼻音、但這句話卻如此強而有力。350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjShHECetRr
350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTYPBmTdhCJ
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。350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2H2vxzbao6
350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9BA6P4w2fh
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。350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6l0k2UqxZ5
350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN5rC6CrKD3
而紫藤打算再在杜若的身上再添一層相同的痛苦嗎？350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyzeMaZYIO5
350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNMH1d6roVa
紫藤無法回答，只是沉默地別開了視線。350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7cGo93lqxf
350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7pssPW8UmQ
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？350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ3LVHylmkp
350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBIOdmHrg9h
哪條路都是崎嶇，哪條路也都是痛苦。350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1FIWuFj3aK
350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgL1KtZBq4g
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？350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYCusOGOR6M
350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWIP30dPzuR
只因為就連接受也是痛苦吧。350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ563HxB9w4O
350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWHG2kw7KJH
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？350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMoU4mP1Vlx
350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhriBQ8OaCL
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。350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcnDwn2OdBA
350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx3IRfzhUPL
思及至此，紫藤才慢慢地放鬆了手中的力道。350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsWRovODIaE
350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsnWzhRVn4s
「答應我、要先保護好妳自己。」350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmBF8cdYgtw
350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaEmXKiROcu
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。350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGbiySZlVgF
350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGJuvNWaF5R
「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。350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvLmuS9INH1
350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxBusybl0Za
「所以，我的份就用來保護紫藤吧！」350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG3wBGcYIhM
350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9T799y6th2
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。350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN170X4KTIC
350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡANZTtQ9507
「喔喔！紫藤笑了耶！」350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWsthL53SLv
350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNzbZdoYEEp
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。350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRz9lujLcLX
350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ01B2zsMqEq
「哇啊啊——！對不起！」杜若立刻慌張地放下手來。350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgkY4t2WKv1
350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkNNIplBCks
疼痛雖然還沒散去，但紫藤還是發自內心地笑了。350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLHLG1u7d8K
350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ50oBydq8BY
「……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？」350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbzRGJAoV3g
350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡguwGmHB1Kd
「咦？」這提議讓紫藤也感到意外地眨了眨眼。350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRvfWGwl4aq
350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLpuYXX1vqd
「雖然是我自己猜的……不過狐狸應該很擅長找人吧。」350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgJ4F8bRAn0
350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg9rEyxo8W1
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。350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqa421uJqbF
350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhsWy2fgq26
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。350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKWjEDT8pyQ
350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnDfelesgMa
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。350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUq6DoMlMXg
350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQAZnXLo6va
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？350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB9SyV21ETN
350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtNE1t1f9Jf
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？350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3NJsq8TsS4
350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡok50TdjXhA
「那……可以幫我跟狐狸說說看嗎？」350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzJZyfw3wPR
350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7gOkUJdRBZ
「當然呀，這是我提議的嘛～」杜若自信地抱起手臂、挺起胸膛。350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqJwebYs59D
350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFwLguSHCU3
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。350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZElmGZtAPA
350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIDUEuBWVwR
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。350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgaXO7VQf5P
350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCZT1yUvgco
「妳的傷……換我幫妳吧。」350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQbYrsxtfMR
350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfiXMuuBldo
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。350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3HkCEXpdlo
350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7N0m8wfCTX
「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。350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8rilsuKvrE
350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4vIHM5GyrN
「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。350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtG9G27Qx2V
350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgM4KQOdhUz
「撕得開來嗎？」杜若看著紫藤有些僵硬的動作，有所顧慮地問。350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbJBNUfjXeh
350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6NmlyVkfkQ
「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。350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJbVYsTuekm
350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTuU5BZRwed
「……好了。換膝蓋吧。」350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI7VkCV1JwT
350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2qQdMuFSPG
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。350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqDR769iJSd
350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV4S79xbpfo
「我臉上有什麼嗎？」紫藤不解地偏過頭。350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEAgiJydk9b
350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWB42yYj2cG
「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：350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaffvZGbwI2
350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ16RNu7MS5i
「只是覺得紫藤認真的模樣……果然好帥喔。」350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYE4itlMxNI
350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4dEo8YYH8C
突如其來的稱讚，令紫藤頓時耳根一熱。350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIFrq3WdqXi
350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnjhAuQ6zxp
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？350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm7haHHMS5T
350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKaXc6Abbpm
「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：350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLYtoxissoL
350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLUzXMXD2Up
「謝謝……」350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgKVdhMT8HP
350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9r8DLVshUp
「嗯？」350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeATmgN25d1
350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ33YNvn0jIj
「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……！」350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOcpf7ebUzp
350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5g6YplsWPe
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。350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQolAeBQ5VA
350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKE25WoUS5Z
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。350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVkn2hUdlDM
350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb4EZLr8eOF
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。350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA5eIhkIUUy
350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsDpsq4viJl
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。350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH40AlOAFnR
350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSpQtkTZgPf
「稍微……稍微彎起來一點。」350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9Jae6cDsH4
350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRx8RoZwlH8
「這樣？」350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp5XLjKMH9L
350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5UyDuzP004
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。350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtAsqaBAU7X
350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡta7BEOzhL1
「……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。350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdS5Rh5dfEH
350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuh1CoXQO2q
於是紫藤收起醫療用品，起身將箱子放回原位。350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM5lg07v593
350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJrNefvFYnI
「對了，剛才紫藤提到的事件……」350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdNxDMzsmTx
350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLOA15bN8sW
就在要踏出房門的時候，杜若忽然想到了什麼似地開了口。350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwSlnEluzHE
350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9dRbTYpxO6
「事件、是倒塌事件嗎？」350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsL7Nn5nDa4
350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMiJYFx0BmL
「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。350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0CyegroWQF
350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKnkI2SRpeE
「怎麼了嗎？」看見杜若的模樣，令紫藤擔心地走了回去。350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6eMp4tUucT
350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEAPlSOtLvl
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。350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwhODq2FtD6
350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxNCY6wX6lQ
「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！」350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMJ127j8Ojo
350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjChobJWjch
紫藤雖然感到疑惑，卻還是沒有多問地走出了房間。350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfGaPXDLoOz
350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbGe4hXXQnc
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。350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJSNkcA7O24
350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBfW7Dar2j1
「我們……好像弄錯順序了耶。」350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡltb8IGQj91
350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE45tiFT9X9
「……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。350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeR7x1FrdNs
350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu7vV58JyDq
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。350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm9QpBBIMw9
350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBp9RPgI1Hp
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。350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH388Dk8nsN
350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG65czmT2TA
「紫藤需要我幫忙嗎？」350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmUj48lkxOG
350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTg2yM9asP1
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。350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN1vnhYCoNf
350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBjdB4dOJ9g
「我、我自己來就可以了……」350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrwXCF0LJtA
350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsIUj00wu7G
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。350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPnZrapvFQ6
350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqpF5aiJwVk
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。350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE1RKiDqPjl
350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡulOLAtV1kO
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。350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDcy7cgRfWz
350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu6IXCosLOY
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。350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD9YGdjId28
350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNQGdvY3xqu
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。350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAgNcrr8o05

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？350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmPoxLXpOaK
350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNsdTiNgLC7
「……紫藤。」350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡllXmOzsx9D
350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpdW1VfDk23
「怎麼了？」350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIHx8dk4LGq
350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXXAYkJfMnB
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。350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlGskHjybfK
350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5lTc8wayjW
「紫藤說、會一直在我身邊……我可以相信紫藤吧？」350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYda7MENRsm
350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJujcf1O7gU
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。350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwKWKEKOXR4
350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjH0duOP4Jo
紫藤伸出手輕蓋在了杜若的後腦，卻沒有辦法就這麼點頭。350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJbdaBd6iGC
350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcLOy3EoQ3v
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？350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0pfdlqs0ii
350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB7bNLvrvTk
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。350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7yM5xNCz4F
350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKwripNV9J5
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。350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKHXRWSX7LM
350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSiUTm4kmol
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？350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk7WMywLTso
350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrr1m1b54kY
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。350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdfeY0tf7ox
350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡws09LF5Hws
不過紫藤現在就在這裡。350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq9I754kUKa
350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG0xMzWS82l
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。350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd0VzpgV0rv
350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSohCDPB8k7
於是、紫藤探出指頭，用指腹輕貼上了杜若的臉頰。350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmzkoA72iLi
350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNpkmMqPm8i
「……我會試著做到的。」350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5tTOxRApD9
350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7IlPBd0d5j
「什麼嘛……」聽見這不乾脆的回答，杜若便沒輒地笑了。350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF8gZ2g4Y0p
350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr9qyYTwpAp
「不過……我相信紫藤喔。」350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjC9c4Ttf0C
350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZSwV4j7hSQ
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。350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuER5w0IrXy
350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡswSj7rqM33
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。350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg9vKayH6MC
350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCOucGzQTp4
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。350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ56hmYbMXMs
350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8DCqm9CbPo
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。350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqTM3DlzJ6S
350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUwlQfsVftY
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。350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIrp8xReaxD
