Female priests: Can pastors only be bullied?

Erjia's sudden appearance broke the tense atmosphere at the scene.

"Huh? You..."

Elphis was a little confused.

She had forgotten about Erjia before, and she was nowhere to be seen during the battle. Now that it's over, why did she appear again?

"Oh yeah, I forgot to tell you guys before!"

Fuina's fox ears suddenly stood up.

"The Queen said...she said she would go back to get some props...so let's hold on for a while...I...I forgot to say..."

As she spoke, she lowered her head in embarrassment, her face slightly hot.

Oh, how could I forget this? This is so embarrassing...

Everyone looked at Fuyina again, all speechless. No matter what Fuyina did, she couldn't do it well.

"I'm sorry, my dear heroes."

Erjia bowed to everyone guiltily.

"Ah, ah, ah, your Majesty, what are you doing?"

Ito waved his hands repeatedly, trying to stop the Elf Queen's actions in panic, as this would really undermine the Elf Queen's dignity.

"I'm sorry, it's my daughter who has caused trouble for you all."

Her eyes turned to the controlled Anna.

Then, she lifted the basketball-sized box in her hand and took out the contents.

What appeared in front of everyone was a black collar.

The collar is all black and is no different from the collars we usually see.

The only difference is that the surface of the collar is faintly engraved with unintelligible letters, and the whole thing looks rusty, like scrap metal.

But don't underestimate it.

"Sorry, this is a 'Demon-Binding Collar'. It is a collar designed to limit the magic power in the body. As long as you wear it around your neck, the magic power in your body will be suppressed."

"I'm not strong, and I don't want to cause trouble for you, so this is the only thing I can do..."

The Demon-Binding Collar, an S-grade item, is a rare and precious item in the world that can suppress the magic power in the body.

Wear the collar around your neck, and the unique magic will block the transmission of magic between the body and the brain.

After being blocked, without the regulation of the nervous system, magic cannot be used.

After putting it on, even if the magic power in your body is terrifying, it will not be able to release even a little bit.

Very restrained.

Everyone was stunned and looked at each other.

So...what Erjia meant by this collar is...it should be worn on Anna?

Erjia walked forward and opened the black rusty necklace.

"I'm sorry, please forgive me. This is all I can do now."

After that, there was a "click" sound, and the collar was put on Anna.

The instant the rusty collar was put on, Anna's delicate body trembled violently.

The black energy that continuously flowed from deep within his body gradually dissipated.

Everyone could clearly feel that the dangerous aura from her was gradually dissipating.

They couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. This way, Anna might not do anything weird again.

Chaos' consciousness also became much clearer because of the collar.

The scarlet color gradually faded away, and his eyes returned to their original clarity.

“It hurts so much…”

The pain in her body made Anna scream out.

Then, she opened her eyes and looked at the crowd that almost filled her entire field of vision.

"me..."

She was a little incoherent and didn't know what to say.

The previous memories came back like a tide, making Anna instantly understand what she had done.

Own...

He actually wanted to kill his teammates... and take Ito away...

this...

At the same time, she also realized her mistakes.

From beginning to end, it was all my fault.

If they hadn't found an opportunity to control themselves, Anna couldn't imagine what outrageous behavior she would have done.

It's so scary that I did all this myself.

Anna did not shirk her responsibility. Her eyes were red and her body trembled slightly.

He murmured with a choked voice:

"I'm...I'm sorry...it's all my fault...I...I actually...I actually wanted to kill you..."

After saying that, crystal tears rolled down from her eyes.

Her delicate body huddled up helplessly, her shoulders twitching slightly, making her look even more pitiful.

Now, no one knew what to say.

"this......"

Elphis, who always acted decisively, couldn't help but feel troubled. She wanted to question the other party but was immediately discouraged by Anna's pitiful appearance.

"Just kill me. I already... I already have no face to live... People like... People like me... People like me..."

"enough!"

Anna was interrupted by Lucy.

She subconsciously raised her eyes and met Lucy's cold gaze.

"You don't think dying will solve the problem? Who do you really think you are?"

"Wait--" Ito started to speak, but Lucy didn't intend to stop there.

"Do you think that death can atone for your sins? Let those people know that you are innocent? You didn't do anything? Just die like this and let those people praise you? Mourning for you?"

"Do you think this is cool? Do you know that this is extremely stupid?"

Every word Lucy said was like a huge rock pressing down on Anna.

"No, I...I...I'm not like that."

Anna suddenly became anxious. She really didn't want this to happen.

"So what is it you say? Guilt? Or something?"

"I......"

Anna was suddenly speechless.

Lucy sneered.

"Hey, you self-righteous guy, don't forget the bet between us."

"If you lose, don't get close to me and Brother Yi in the future."

"You won't forget, will you?"

As she spoke, she narrowed her eyes and her cute little face took on a ferocious look.

"You stay alive! Take a good look at the happy life that Brother Yi and I have! Watch us for the rest of your life! Watch us get married! Have children! Grow old together! Look at the tombstone where we share a grave! Watch it for the rest of your life!"

"So! You better live well! Don't think you can escape punishment by dying!"

"That's how I really look down on you!"

Every word was heart-wrenching, making Anna's heart ache even more.

The rest of the people remained silent.

They understood what Lucy meant.

Although it seemed like he was speaking to Anna viciously.

but.

If you listen carefully, you will know what she really means.

do not die!

You want to die and escape? No way! You must stay alive and watch them!

Ito looked at Lucy with complicated eyes.

Lucy has really changed a lot.

Except for the appearance, everything has changed...

But this shouldn't be called a change...

But it is the sense of superiority that comes from having great power.

One day, the bullied person suddenly gains more power than the bully and takes revenge on the bully. The feeling of superiority that comes from being overwhelmed by the power...

It will cause a person's temperament to change drastically, just like Lucy now.

Can't help it.

Izuku sighed softly in distress.
