Female priests: Can pastors only be bullied?

Sitting quietly on the bed.

Ito was the only one left in the room.

The sunlight from outside shines through the window onto the bedding.

The air was quiet and warm, and Ito's eyes were a little dazed.

Looking down at the intact twelve-petal toad seal, Ito's breathing became rapid.

He raised his hand and gently stroked it back and forth. The twelve petals of the toad's blood on his chest were still shining brightly.

This is not a dream.

Crystal clear tears silently slid down from his eyes.

His shoulders trembled slightly and he bit his lips tightly.

Really.

It's all true.

I'm really, really back.

He seemed to see the hope of returning to his original world.

can.

My mind unconsciously recalled what Lucy had said.

For the life she consumed.

Whenever Ito thought of this, he always felt extremely guilty.

Lucy had just been taken away by Elphis and the others.

Where should I go in the future?

Do you want to continue staying here?

There are still six months left.

Keep thinking in your heart.

a long time.

Izuku still sighed.

Now, he could only stay.

You can only choose to leave the brave team when it is absolutely necessary.

creak.

The door was opened.

Elphis came in.

"Ito, how are you? Much better..."

Seeing the tears on Ito's face, she paused slightly.

Noticing Elphis's arrival, he suddenly raised his hand to wipe away his tears.

He didn't say anything, as if he hadn't shed any tears just now.

"What did you say?"

"I...I mean...are you feeling better..."

Izuku nodded but said nothing.

Elphis felt a little uncomfortable with Ito's casual attitude.

But she was more concerned about Ito's tears just now.

She pursed her lips and came in front of Ito.

"Did Lucy do something to you? Do you know?"

When Lucy was mentioned, Ito's brows furrowed unconsciously.

He said nothing and shook his head.

Ito's reaction made Elphis even more anxious.

She reached out and grabbed her right hand that was hanging on the bed.

The moment Elphis grabbed his hand, he suddenly pulled it back.

He stared at Elphis with an unfriendly look.

"Do not touch me."

His words completely stunned Elphis.

She stared blankly, feeling a heart-wrenching pain in her heart.

He had never spoken to her in such terms before.

A sense of nameless anger welled up in my heart.

"What do you mean? I care about you and you talk to me like this?"

"I don't need your concern, please go away, I just want to be alone."

Elphis opened her mouth, not knowing how to answer.

The air seemed to fall into silence.

a long time.

Elphis sighed.

"Is it Lucy?"

"..."

“Where did you go before?

After Lucy came back, she became very strange. I felt that she was very strange, as if someone had taken her body away from her. "

"She is Lucy, and Lucy is her."

"Ugh?"

"Anyway, Lucy is still Lucy, that's for sure."

Elphis gave a wry smile.

"Is that how you defend her? Did she give you some kind of drug?"

"There is no defense, that's for sure, she is much better than you..."

"......"

Elphis' eyes dimmed.

Thinking of her previous impulsive behavior towards Ito, she couldn't help feeling a little annoyed.

I shouldn't have done that if I had known.

Looking at him now, I just feel extremely guilty.

Elphis pursed her lips, finding it difficult to speak.

Finally, she made up her mind.

Said word for word.

"sorry."

The three simple words made Ito slightly stunned.

He looked at the uneasy Elphis in surprise.

The always arrogant Elphis would actually apologize to herself as a man?

No, no, the important thing is why did she apologize?

As if seeing the surprise in Ito's eyes, Elphis spoke again.

"I apologize for all my previous inappropriate behavior towards you. I didn't consider your feelings."

Ito was speechless for a moment.

But he still sighed helplessly.

He waved his hand and spoke.

"Okay, I get it. Can you please leave now? I want to be alone."

It was obvious that Elphis didn't want to leave just like that.

Her mind was racing, constantly thinking of what to say next.

"Have you eaten yet?"

“I’m not hungry…”

"We're going to the Elf Palace in a few days, you..."

"Thank you, I see..."

"Is there any gift you want?"

"No..."

"..."

"..."

It was obvious that Ito had no intention of letting her stay.

There was some disappointment in her eyes, but she turned around and took one last look at Ito.

"Take care of your body."

After saying that, she turned around and left with a somewhat dejected look.

Izuku couldn't help but chuckle.

"Really? Does everyone have to be like this?"

With a long sigh, Izuku closed his eyes.

Lucy's lovely face unconsciously came into his mind again.

Lucy...

Being with Lucy...is a good choice...

This was the first time this thought occurred to him.

...

...

a few days later.

Elf Palace.

A few days of rest made Ito feel much better.

As agreed, he followed the team of brave men to the Elf Palace.

These past few days, the atmosphere in the Brave Team has been unusually strange.

Lucy can be seen sticking to Ito every day. She doesn't feel anything is wrong and is very happy instead.

Elphis and the others wanted to talk to him, but were stopped by Lucy.

What's even more strange is that Fuina actually stood on Lucy's side.

The simplest reason is that the food cooked by Ito is so delicious.

From then on, the Brave Squad was more like two lineups.

Team 1: Elphis, Anna, Charlotte (none of my business)

Second pair: Ito, Lucy, the cute Miss Fox (I just want to eat delicious food)

Return to reality.

"Dear great heroes, welcome here."

Erjia on the platform had been waiting for a long time.

When he saw them coming, he stood up to greet them.

The six people present knelt down and respectfully greeted the Elf Queen.

After the polite greeting, Erjia's face was filled with a kind smile.

"The hope of this generation rests on you.

I believe in you, the great heroes chosen by God."

As they said this, Elphis and the others felt excited.

Only Lucy was different.

The corners of her mouth raised in a mocking arc.

Stupid stuff.

Ito, who had been observing Lucy, also noticed that something was wrong with her.

He pursed his lips, not knowing what he was thinking.

"Brother Yi, were you looking at me just now?"
