Female priests: Can pastors only be bullied?

After the teleportation array was set up, everyone left the valley and returned to the hotel rented by the brave team.

The brave team had two people in a room, and now there were two more people, Carrot and Ito, so they opened an extra room for Ito, and Fuina, who originally slept with Anna, stayed in the same room with Carrot.

After packing up, it was already three o'clock in the morning. After a night of fierce fighting, the brave team was exhausted and soon fell asleep in bed.

Perhaps the only one who couldn't sleep was Ito.

——Four o’clock.

Ito tossed and turned in bed. His body was tired and he really wanted to sleep, but his mind couldn't calm down and he kept thinking about Gwen.

Die in his own arms.

The originally relieved mood began to turn into sadness because of the loneliness in the darkness.

Ito lay quietly in the darkness, staring blankly at the dark ceiling.

The lingering figure of Gwen appeared in my mind, and my eyes became wet unconsciously.

"Gwen..."

He murmured hoarsely.

Time passed unknowingly, and Ito felt more and more depressed.

——Dongdongdong

Just then, a knock on the door interrupted Ito's thoughts.

He sat up from the bed and looked at the door that had just been knocked.

"Who?"

"It's me." Elphis' voice came from outside the door.

"Eliphis?" Ito was puzzled. "It's so late...why are you knocking on my door?"

Perhaps it was Ito's subconscious reaction that made him feel a little uneasy, as if he was afraid that Elphis would attack him at night.

Of course, this might have happened before, but not now.

"I came here to talk to you... I know it's hard for you to get over what happened yesterday, so I want to talk to you alone..."

Outside the house, Elphis' words were sincere and did not sound like a lie.

Ito was silent for a while, and finally said, "Okay... then come in. The door is not locked."

——Squeak.

After Ito finished speaking, Elphis opened the door and walked in.

"Can I turn on the light? It's too dark in here and I can't see clearly."

"......Can."

——Click. Elphis turned on the light in the room. The dim light shone over the two of them, and the originally dark room suddenly became bright. It was like daytime.

The two looked at each other. When Elphis saw that Ito's face was haggard and his eyes were a little red, she knew that her guess was correct.

——It was not so easy for Ito to let it go.

"Are you okay?" Elphis walked forward, sat on the chair opposite Ito, and comforted him with concern.

"Well... I'm fine..." Ito shook his head and forced a smile, "I just couldn't sleep in the middle of the night, and I kept thinking about those things in my mind..."

"Well, I'm sure you'll get over this sad news."

"..."

"By the way... what is your relationship with the dragon demon king named 'Gwen'? I feel that your relationship is not like that of a savior... but more like... lovers.

Of course, this is just my guess, if there is any offense, it is my fault..."

Finally, Elphis couldn't help but ask the question that she had been thinking about for a long time.

"Lover..." Ito murmured softly, "Maybe... maybe not."

Although Gwen has Ito's child, she has never acknowledged who Ito really is to her.

What is your identity...?

Ito couldn't tell whether he was Gwen's slave or someone very important to Gwen...

After all, getting pregnant was something no one expected.

Including Gwen herself, she was nice to Ito after she became pregnant.

Ito also knew that there was no need to hide this matter anymore.

So he told Elphis everything about his relationship with Gwen and his experience of being abducted to the Demon King's Castle.

He talked for a long time and he lost track of time.

He talked for several hours before stopping.

Because he had experienced so many things and all kinds of impossible things happened one after another, Ito had never had anyone to talk to. Now that he has someone, he naturally will not be stingy and tell all his true experiences.

Although Ito spoke for a long time, he hardly stopped.

But Elphis listened very carefully. She could understand Ito's despair when he was forced to stay in the Demon King's Castle at the beginning.

When she heard that Ito was forced, her heart ached even more.

Her feelings for Ito... maybe it can be called a secret love, but like her previous feelings for Ito and Shinrai, they were all compulsory...

Now when she thinks back on it, she feels extremely regretful about her behavior.

Was I possessed by a worm? I actually did such a beastly thing to a man!

And he is one of our team members!

Now, hearing that Ito had always been raped by the woman she hated, her heart felt like it was being cut into pieces by a thousand knives.

——The pain is so severe.

What Ito experienced... was far more cruel than they had imagined. If it weren't for Ito's good will, any other man would have wanted to commit suicide.

What men value most is their own innocence, unless he is a dissolute and dissolute man.

As a holy priest chosen by God, Ito should have lived a pure life...but now he has suffered such a thing...

Elphis bit her teeth lightly, her face looked very unsightly:

"I'm sorry... Ito, we didn't expect you to encounter such a thing... This is our fault... It's our fault..."

"Okay, stop talking." Ito said lightly. He did not show any special emotions about what he had experienced before... because these things had long passed, and now he was just venting.

He no longer cared.

"You don't have to blame yourself. You said before that since it has already happened, don't regret it, because regret is useless. You just have to look forward."

Elphis actually said this herself.

She didn't expect that what she said at the beginning would be said to herself now.

She burst into laughter and said, "What? Ito, are you trying to imitate my way of speaking?"

"I'm sorry... After all, I really can't find the words to comfort you...

You were the one who came to comfort me, how come I'm the one comforting you now..."
