Female priests: Can pastors only be bullied?

"Brother Yi, Brother Yi? What's wrong with you?"

Lucy's second cry brought Ito back to reality. He looked at Lucy and found that she was looking at him with confusion and worry. He immediately realized his mistake.

He quickly apologized:

"Sorry, I was distracted... I didn't hear you..."

Lucy looked closely at Ito's slightly flustered eyes and spoke tentatively:

"Brother Yi...were you just thinking about the demon king named Gwen?"

After these words came out, Ito's body was slightly stunned.

His actions naturally did not escape Lucy's eyes, and after confirming with her eyes, she was sure that her words were correct.

My brother Yi is really thinking about the dead demon king...

'Why does Brother Yi care so much about the Demon King? Is the Demon King important to Brother Yi? What is their relationship? Could it be that Brother Yi has fallen in love with that guy? Why didn't Brother Yi tell me about the Demon King? '

All kinds of doubts flashed through Lucy's mind, but she didn't say them directly. She just stared into Ito's eyes, wanting to see how he would answer.

Ito scratched his head and said with some guilt:

"This... um... well, you're right... I did think of her again just now..."

Seeing that Brother Yi really admitted it, Lucy felt a little uncomfortable. After all, it was known to everyone in their brave team that she liked Brother Yi.

Nowadays, if the person you like is thinking about another woman in front of you, anyone would feel uncomfortable.

"Brother Yi, is she really that important to you? Who is she to you?

Putting aside other things, her identity is the Demon King. As heroes, we exist to defeat the Demon King...

Now... you actually care so much about a demon king... is it really appropriate for you to do this?"

After hearing what Lucy said, Ito felt a little uncomfortable.

To him, Gwen was special, and he didn't know what his feelings were for Gwen.

But when Ito heard Lucy say this, he couldn't help but feel a little emotional...

But now he also knew that it was his fault, so he could only apologize:

"I'm sorry...it's my fault...I...I don't know what to say..."

Seeing that Ito was not going to reveal his relationship with the demon king, Lucy's eyes flashed with disappointment for a moment.

She felt that her importance in Brother Yi's eyes was not as high as that of the Demon King...

If that demon king hadn't died... would Brother Yi still be by my side now?

Lucy thought about it, and she felt a little panic in her heart. She had always been cowardly since she was a child and had always been looked down upon. Now, she had finally found the meaning of life, and she didn't want to watch him disappear in front of her anymore.

Then...she would have no motivation to continue living in this world...

Lucy moved closer to Ito, mustered up her courage, and placed her fair palm gently on the back of Ito's hand.

Ito's eyes met Lucy's.

"Brother Yi... In a few days, we will leave the Demon King's Castle and start a new life."

"...Yeah, I know..."

"So, let's just pretend that the past never happened. Let's start a new life and forget about the past."

"..."

"There are still many days ahead of us. We can live happily forever. No matter what happens, we can face it together."

Lucy looked at Ito affectionately, and with those affectionate eyes, Ito's eyes subconsciously dodged.

Being stared at like this...it's really hard to look at.

But what Lucy said makes sense... The days ahead may be long for Ito, and the matter of the Demon King has come to an end.

In the future, there may not be any dangerous monsters invading the human world, and everyone can live a peaceful life.

Giving up the past may be a better choice.

but......

How can things be really let go just like that? Gwen's influence on Ito may be ranked first among all people.

But he didn't want Lucy to be disappointed, so he just agreed:

"Well... I understand, Lucy. When these things are over... I will choose to let it go..."

Hearing this, a smile finally appeared on Lucy's face.

She nodded heavily and said:

"Yes! I believe you, Brother Yi!"

Ito smiled bitterly and couldn't help but reach out and gently touch Lucy's hair.

At this moment, as if she was about to do something, Lucy's face began to turn red again, and her heart began to become nervous.

She said haltingly:

"Um... that brother Yi... I... I actually have something... something I want to give you..."

Seeing the girl so reserved, Ito couldn't help feeling a little curious.

He asked:

"You got something for me? What?"

"Um... this... um... that..."

Lucy hesitated, her eyes wandering left and right, her heart beating fast.

"Isn't it too early to take it out now? After all, the matter of the Demon King is not over yet... Brother Yi's heart is still thinking about another woman..."

"But if I don't make it known in advance...what if Brother Yi gets snatched away by another woman? I don't want that to happen..."

"But it's a bit too hasty to take it out now... What if Brother Yi doesn't agree..."

"But if I don't take it out now... then later..."

Lucy was very afraid that Brother Yi would reject the words she had prepared for a long time, but she wanted to bring them out now...

She struggled with this self-contradiction for a long time and couldn't figure out whether she should take it out or not.

Seeing the girl hesitate, Ito became even more curious.

He asked:

"Lucy, what exactly are you going to give me? Why are you so nervous?"

Lucy: ヾ(???)?

Lucy's body trembled, and she was so anxious that tears were about to flow out.

"me......"
