Female priests: Can pastors only be bullied?

The next day at noon——

"Master Ito, this is the mountain pass. Once we walk out of here, we will be out of the Rocky Mountains."

At the exit of the Rocky Mountains, a tribal woman said respectfully to Ito who was following behind her.

"Well, I understand, thank you."

Ito nodded.

"Then I'll go back first?"

"Ah."

After getting Ito's permission, the woman breathed a sigh of relief and turned back to the tribe.

"Alas, walking out of here means I'm truly leaving this tribe." Ito couldn't help but sigh, "I actually feel a little reluctant in my heart... Yeah, really."

Ito did not say goodbye to Darien today and chose to go down the mountain alone. This was also for Darien's own good.

Thinking of Dalian, Ito couldn't help but smile.

"After a week, A-Lian should have adapted to the life of the village chief. Those people will not isolate her on purpose. I believe she will be able to find good friends.

These are enough.”

Turning around, taking one last look at the dense jungle, Ito took a deep breath and said, "It's time to leave."

He turned around, took a step forward, and prepared to leave.

Just as he was about to leave the mountain pass, a loud shout suddenly came from behind him.

"Ato——!!!"

The familiar voice and name made Ito stop subconsciously.

This voice...is A-Lian's!

He turned around suddenly and saw a figure running towards him at a high speed not far away.

"Atou!! Uwaaaaa! Why did you abandon me without saying a word?!"

At this moment, Darien's face was full of tears. She vaguely saw Ito at the foot of the mountain and her pace of rushing down quickened a little.

"Hey, hey, hey! Wait! A-Lian! Stop!"

By the time Ito realized that something was wrong, it was too late.

Darien, who was running down at a very fast speed, couldn't stop himself at all. He accidentally tripped over a stone and flew up involuntarily.

“Wow wow wow wow!! Why am I flying?!”

"Alian! Wait! Be careful!"

"boom--!"

Finally, Darien landed heavily on Ito's thin body. Ito was pinned down by Darien.

Something soft pressed against Ito's cheek, and after a while, the latter found that he could not breathe and began to struggle violently.

“Mmmmmm!!”

Ito, who was pressed down by the "face cleanser", let out a suffocating wail.

"Huh? Ateng?!"

Seeing Ito's pale face beneath him, Darien suddenly realized that something was wrong and stood up hurriedly.

“Ahhh… I’m dying, I’m dying—”

"Ahhhh! Ateng! Are you okay?! I'm sorry! I didn't mean to do that! I'm sorry!!"

......

After a while, Ito finally recovered.

He looked at Darien resentfully, and the latter scratched his head embarrassedly.

"So...why did you come running down here?"

"Why did you run down here? Well..." Darien said with a guilty conscience: "Well, I saw that you were not here... so I ran down here."

"Didn't I tell you I was leaving?"

"Um......"

When she said this, Darien's expression became very depressed.

She cried, "Wow, I've gotten used to living with A-Teng. If A-Teng really leaves me, my life will be so empty that it will explode.

And then, I couldn't stand it anymore...I ended my life-"

"Wait! It's not that serious, right?"

"Wow, anyway, without Ateng around... I won't be able to survive!"

Ito frowned: "What should I do? I really have to go, I can't ask you to come with me, right?"

Unexpectedly, Ito's unintentional words instantly made Darien's eyes light up.

"Yeah! Isn't it okay for me to just stay with Ateng?! Wherever Ateng goes, I'll go!"

"Ha? Are you kidding? You are the head of a village in the tribe. How could you abandon the village and follow me?"

"The head of a village? That thing is of no use to me..."

"Rather than spending my life alone in that hypocritical village... I might as well stay with Ateng!"

"I've made up my mind! Being the village chief is not important! I decided last night to quit my position as village chief and follow Ateng."

"But, but I didn't expect Ateng to run away by himself without even saying hello!

It's really cruel! Do you know how much my heart aches after hearing this news? ! "

Darien's words made Ito feel a little embarrassed.

Why am I embarrassed? It's obviously not my fault!

"You're not serious, are you? Are you really going to resign as village chief?"

"Of course!" Darien nodded firmly: "As long as I can stay by Ateng's side, that's enough! I don't care about anything else!"

Ito opened his mouth and wanted to say something, but looking at Darien's determined eyes, he finally didn't say it.

"Have you decided?"

"Well! I've made up my mind!"

“Now that you have awakened, don’t regret your choices in the future.

The road ahead is long and perhaps difficult. I hope you can persevere. A-Lian, I will always trust you. "

"Yes! As long as Ateng is here! No matter how hard or how long the road is, I will go all the way!

As long as A-Teng doesn't despise me, that's enough!"

"Okay, then just follow me."

A smile finally broke out on Darlene's face. She stepped forward and hugged Ito, pressing her "face cleanser" on Ito's face again.

She said excitedly:

"That's great, Ateng! Thank you for accepting me! That's really great! I'm so happy!!"

“Mmmmm (I’m suffocating! I’m suffocating!!)”

......

Ito had his own reasons for agreeing to let Darlen stay with him.

He also didn't want Darien to live in that kind of oppressive tribe, feudal, without a sense of unity, and hypocritical.

Darlene is a person who longs for freedom and sunshine. She doesn't want to live alone in the tribe.

Becoming the village chief may be a way to save face for oneself, or it may be a way to prove oneself, to prove that one is not the isolated one, and to prove that one is truly capable.

Now, Darien has untied the knot in her heart and understood her deep choice. That's why she made this move.

Wouldn't it be nice to be free from the shackles of the tribe?

Village chief, this is just a deeper shackle that will satisfy your desires and trap you in the cage of the tribe for your entire life.

This is Ito's choice, a choice that takes into consideration Darien's future.
