Female priests: Can pastors only be bullied?

"By the way...everyone, tomorrow is the day when the Hero Squad's Merit Award Ceremony will begin...can we really meet Brother Yi before then?"

On the other side, an hour before Ito invaded the palace, Lucy's worried voice was heard in a hotel room.

“Ito should have seen the information in the newspaper… This news has become known to everyone in the mainland.

But...it's been so many days, but why is there no news about Ito?"

Elphis stroked her chin and muttered to herself.

"Hey? Could it be that something happened to Brother Ito?"

Fuina tilted her head and spoke uncertainly.

"what!"

But just as she said this, she was hit hard on the head.

"Really, girl, can you please stop saying such unlucky things?"

Anna said helplessly, holding her forehead.

"There has been no news about Ito in the past two months... This really makes people think a lot."

Charlotte said calmly.

"Oh, Charlotte, why would you say that? Oh, really."

Lucy was dejected, slumped over the back of her chair.

"Is the medal awarding ceremony tomorrow..."

Elphis murmured in a low voice:

"I think Ito will definitely be there by then..."

She covered her chest:

“Although I also think it’s a bit ridiculous, I always have this feeling.

Ito should be fine now. After all, there is a weak connection between heroes... I can feel it in my heart.

Ito should be fine now.

Everyone, Ito may be on his way to us now, I believe he will arrive on time."

"Ah-I hope so..."

Lucy hugged the chair, looking helpless:

"Brother Yi... we must catch up when the time comes."

Originally, the Brave Team planned to wait until Ito returned before starting the medal awarding ceremony.

However, the old man from the Communist Alliance seemed to be impatient and asked to start the medal ceremony as soon as possible. He said that it should be started as soon as possible during the climax period after the people heard the news from the Demon King's City, so that the atmosphere would be better.

Can--

Elphis felt that the reason for launching the medal ceremony so quickly was not just a superficial issue.

I always feel that... those old guys in the palace are planning something in secret.

As a result, the brave team did not stay in the palace, but instead chose to stay the night in a hotel outside in disguise.

Now, Elphis can only take one step at a time.

"Oh... I hope Ito can be there on time... I feel really sorry for him for starting the medal ceremony in a daze."

......

On the other side, inside the palace of Moshiri.

11:44pm.

"Hey, I've already walked around most of the third floor... I've opened all the doors that can be opened, why haven't I found them yet?"

At the corner of the corridor on the third floor of the Imperial Palace, Ito sat on the ground to take a rest, muttering in confusion.

"Ah Teng, isn't your companion in the palace?"

Darien beside him spoke tentatively.

"That's unlikely, isn't it? After all, they are heroes who saved the world... There's no reason for the palace to let them live outside, right?

Could it be that…?”

Ito was stunned for a moment, and suddenly a guess came to his mind.

"Could it be that they chose to live outside?"

The Brave Team's daily life is not extravagant, which can be seen from their unchanging clothes.

Maybe they will choose to stay in a more secure hotel.

Ito covered his forehead:

"Oh, I actually forgot such an important point. What a terrible fool I am."

"Nei, Ateng, where are we going now?"

"Well... maybe we won't be able to find them next time. There are a lot of hotels around the palace... I can only meet them at the ceremony tomorrow.

Oh, really, these few hours were wasted.

Let’s go back first. "

"Ah."

Ito stood up, dusted off his butt, and after checking that there was no one in the corridors, he took Darien back to the original route.

The two of them walked through the intricate corridors, and just as Ito was about to go to the stairs to the second floor, Darien behind him suddenly stopped.

Because the two were holding hands, Ito, who was leading the way in front, also noticed something unusual about Darien.

Ito stopped, turned around, and looked at Darien in confusion:

"What's wrong, A-Lian?"

"Hush! Keep your voice down. I hear a noise in the back room."

"sound?"

Although he was confused, Ito lowered his voice and approached Darien without revealing his steps.

"Did you hear anything?"

"Atou... when I was passing by that room just now... I suddenly heard someone in the room saying the words of a hero."

"Brave?"

"Yes, a brave man.

......But they are not Ateng's companions, because I heard that the owner of the voice seemed to be an old woman. Anyway, she spoke in an old-fashioned way. "

"Alian, how could you hear it? I didn't hear anything."

"hey-hey."

When asked this question, Darien scratched the back of his head and chuckled quietly.

She pointed to her long ears and whispered:

“When living in the tribe, hearing was very important because it could help us predict danger.

For example, if you hear footsteps in the distance, you can determine the identity of the beast based on the frequency of the footsteps.

This is a very important thing in the tribe. Now that I am half-elf, my hearing is even more sensitive. I can hear even the slightest sound clearly. "

"Oh, it's really amazing."

Izuku praised.

This brought a smug smile to Darien's face.

"Hehehe, Ah Teng said I was awesome! As expected! Ah Lian can still help Ah Teng!"

"By the way, Ateng, the people in the room should have just started the conversation. I didn't hear any movement when I walked through this corridor before."

Ito nodded.

Since the people inside were talking about the topic of heroes...he could only say sorry.

He didn't mean to eavesdrop, he just wanted to hear how his companion was doing.

"Alian, can you hear the conversation in the room clearly?"

"Well! Just put this on me.

I'll listen at the door."

"please."

Darien quietly lay in front of the room where the sound came from, listening carefully to the sounds inside.

only--

As if she had heard some explosive news, Darien's pupils widened instantly and an incredible expression appeared on her face.

......
