Female priests: Can pastors only be bullied?

"By the way, how is Elphis now?"

After being silent for a long time, Ito spoke heavily.

Anna shook her head and sighed:

“Alas… It’s still the same as at noon, I’ve been locking myself in the room and not even eating.

I don’t know how she is now…”

Ito's expression was somewhat heavy:

"This is not a solution... I have to go see Elphis."

"It's no use. Elphis locked the door. I tried to ask her at noon, but she didn't respond to me and didn't open the door."

Charlotte said helplessly.

"Well... let's try it one last time."

......

eight pm.

Ito came to the door of Elphis's room.

Looking at the closed door in front of him, Ito took a deep breath.

After preparing himself mentally, Ito knocked on the door.

"Knock Knock Knock-"

"..."

Silence, an atmosphere of silence spread in the air. Although the people inside could hear the knock on the door, there was still no response.

"Elphis? Are you okay now?"

"..."

Ito had expected this result. He was not discouraged and continued:

“I know you’re feeling terrible and devastated right now… The truth about the Brave Squad is indeed heartbreaking.

I also know how much you valued the profession of a hero, and I can understand your frustration. You must be extremely disappointed with heroes now..."

"But this is already a fact, we have all been kept in the dark, the truth is cruel and cannot be changed.

We need to look forward, since it was the mistake of the previous heroes... this mistake will not happen again in the future.

From now on, our world will no longer be invaded by demons, and everyone can live in peace."

"The mistakes made by the Brave Squad will not be repeated in the future. It is us who ended the shadow of the world."

Just as Ito said this, Elphis's suppressed voice finally came from inside the house.

"If it weren't for Ito... maybe we would have ended up like the previous generations of brave squads...

Even if he is the strongest, he cannot defeat a stronger enemy. The only outcome is death or living a miserable life, and he also deceives the world...

The ending is different now...it's all because of Ito."

"this......"

Ito didn't know how to answer.

There was no sound inside the house.

"Eliphis...can I come in and see you?"

"..."

"I know you may not be willing to face me in your current mood, but didn't you come to comfort me before?

In that case, in return, can I come and see you?"

Inside the house, Elphis, who was curled up in the corner, was slightly startled.

Her expression seemed a little stunned, but she gradually regained her composure.

"You...want to come in so badly?"

"Well, because I'm worried about Elphis. Although I know Elphis won't do anything stupid...but I really want to come in and see you."

There was no sound from inside the house for a long time.

Ito thought that Elphis was unwilling to let him in, so he didn't say anything more.

He turned around and was about to leave when he heard the door behind him suddenly open.

Then, Elphis's voice came:

"come in."

Ito was stunned at first, but Xuanji reacted quickly and turned around, but Elphis was no longer at the door.

"Thank you for trusting me, Elphis."

Ito said this and walked into the room.

Little did they know that at the end of the corridor, a blue-haired girl was staring at this scene...

......

The dim room was illuminated by a faint candlelight, and under the candlelight, Ito also saw Elphis's face.

At this moment, her face was pale, her eyes were dull, her golden hair was slightly messy, and her body was trembling slightly.

He looked helpless and pitiful.

Ito's heart tightened when he saw Elphis like this. Elphis used to be very strong, but he didn't expect her to become like this now...

"I look ridiculous now, don't I..."

Elphis lowered her eyes and said self-deprecatingly.

"...Indeed, it's different from before. But it's not ridiculous."

"..."

"Eliphis, I want to ask you, what is your opinion of the word "hero" now? Is it still like before... a holy, bright and great profession?"

"No... The 'heroes' are nothing more than a bunch of guys who deceived the world... They don't deserve those words at all."

Ito: “Actually… I never thought the word ‘hero’ was so great before.

In the final analysis, those who become heroes are just human beings. They just acquire special abilities, so they are given the title of "hero".

“Human beings are complex creatures, afraid of death, greedy, full of desires… They are so weak, but because of their wisdom, they dominate the world.

"Hero" is just a title. Becoming a "hero" does not necessarily mean you will do good deeds. Sometimes, you have no choice but to do so."

Ito gently held Elphis's cold hands and spoke softly:

"What exactly is a "hero"? That depends on you. Use your abilities to create the value of a hero."

Elphis stared at Ito blankly, looking at that gentle face.

Tears flowed uncontrollably from her eyes, and Elphis choked slightly.

"You... you should mind your own business..."

"Are you feeling better now? From now on, the world will no longer be invaded by demons, and people will only remember that it was the masterpiece of the sixth generation hero.

From our generation, the conflict between the hero and the demon king has come to an end.

So... don't think too much, okay? We were just deceived. The meaning of a hero is defined by yourself."

Elphis stared at him blankly.

Ito's figure continued to grow larger and larger in her mind.

Feeling the warmth of Ito's palm, Elphis's blocked heart didn't seem so painful anymore.

The feeling of being comforted by others...is really good.

After a long time, Elphis stopped sobbing.

A hint of smile appeared on her pale face:

"Thank you...Ito, thank you for comforting me..."
