The Devil Priest and the Brave Beautiful Girl

The rich scent of red rose mixed with the faint fragrance of wild flowers surrounds Ulysses; the bright red and faint white complement each other, and there is an exceptional beauty of contrast.

But Ulysses, who was surrounded by these flowers, was very distressed, very, very distressed, all kinds of thoughts surrounded him, making him a little bit wondering what to do.

Helpless, uneasy, at a loss, it is hard to imagine how much Ulysses's kiss was impacted by Angela. At least, it will not be inferior to the grasp of the black warrior Anakin. Even in retrospect, Ulysses still felt like being hit by something.

No matter how slow, Ulysses would naturally understand Angela's enthusiasm for him. The undisguised eyes, as if the girl's body was about to burn, brought great shocks every time, and he didn't even give him the opportunity to refuse.

However, for Ulysses, such feelings will only cause him greater distress. From the moment he decided to become a priest, he abandoned the extravagant hope of having love, immersed in the world of the priest's canon with peace of mind, while exercising his light magic, while waiting for his own opportunity to come.

It’s okay to fail the priest exam for the first time. After all, he does not have enough knowledge. If he fails again, it’s okay. It has made a lot of progress compared to the first time. The third time it fails, it’s really a little frustrating. I deeply understand the difference between myself and those who have received priestly education since childhood. However, he never gave up that hope.

Although he failed the priest exam three times in a row, his progress is obvious. From the first time I was dumbfounded, to the second time I was nervous, and then to the third time I had a little expectation. The knowledge he mastered is growing step by step. As long as he keeps on a trajectory, even if he has to take the priest exam for the fourth or fifth time, in the not-too-distant future, he can definitely achieve his wish. Become a respected priest.

He has never doubted his belief in the Supreme God, nor has he committed any irreparable sin. He has a clear and definite goal for his life path. It is definitely not an untouchable luxury. As long as he puts in enough effort, his ideal can be realized-even now, he still thinks so. .

Although he became a demon king and possessed the power of darkness, he never gave up on the cultivation of light magic. Even for the priest exam next year, he also has the idea of ​​registering again. However, it should have been extremely firm, and there should not even be any shaky beliefs. In the recent period of time, cracks have indeed occurred.

At first it was just a little bit, so small that he even thought it would disappear soon. However, as time went on, he soon discovered that the little cracks were getting bigger. On the "wall" of ideals made by him with faith and beliefs. The crack is clearly visible, and there is absolutely no sign of disappearing.

He once read these few passages from the priest's canon-

The hardest thing in this world is not the scales of the dragon, nor the hard metal, but the belief in people's hearts. The legendary Dragon Emperor Destruction Sword can smash even the stars in the sky, but it cannot sever the bonds between people. The power of the heart is infinite and boundless.

But the most vulnerable thing in this world is also the human heart. Sometimes, it only takes a small lie or a small misunderstanding, and the human heart becomes extremely fragile. As a priest who devotes everything to the gods, he has more than just the power of healing and protection. The ability to soothe the human mind is more important than pure power. A person who is lost in power is not a qualified priest. As a priest, what you need is not only the power of light, but also the power of your own soul.

"Am I still not qualified?" Ulysses sighed, aware of the wavering of his heart. I don't know when, his heart began to get lost.

Originally practicing light magic alone, the feeling of simply yearning for priests was replaced by the joy of being with everyone. I thought I had been accustomed to loneliness a long time ago, and the idea that even a person could live anywhere was unknowingly replaced by the warmth of getting along with the girls of the Apostles. He is now different from the Ulysses who is practising light magic in Taji City, alone in a small room.

He couldn't understand whether this change was good or bad. However, this warmth from the bottom of his heart was something he couldn't feel when he was alone. When in Taguig City, time seemed to pass very quickly, often after reading a book, the day passed unconsciously. However, when I was with the girls of the Apostles, it was lively every day. Although it was not so quiet, it was very warm.

That kind of warm feeling is like when I was very young, before everything happened, I felt like "home" when I was together with Laxia, Aunt Lana, and...when we were together.

"Ah..." Ulysses, who was immersed in the memories, was surprised to find that he did not know when his eye sockets were a little moist. How much time is gone for this feeling of wanting to cry. I don't know when he started, he almost forgot this sad feeling, hiding everything in his heart.

No matter who is in front of him, he smiles naturally, and prevents anyone from seeing his sad expression. Whether it is pain or pain, it will never be exposed to people at will. Just smile, no matter how difficult it is, a smile will bring hope to people. He doesn't like the feeling of despair, so he yearns for "hope" more than anyone else. So he chose to smile and treat everyone sincerely.

Why, so far, he has done a good job. Why, I began to lose control of my emotions... Seeing the two bunches of flowers in his arms, Ulysses was lost.

"If it's a real priest, you should be able to do better." Ulysses, who couldn't find the answer, sighed gently, and carefully hugged the two bunches of flowers in his arms.

Ninety-nine roses representing eternal love and passion.

A white flower that represents effort and support (Ulysses does not know the name of this flower).

Looking at these two bunches of flowers, Ulysses showed a sincere smile.

"thank you all."

...

"Wow, big brother, who sent the beautiful flowers." Fali ran around Ulysses who came back holding the flowers, curiously watching the two beautiful flowers, guessing who they were. A gift for her elder brother.

"It was given by two people who supported me." Of course Ulysses was ashamed to say about Angela. However, he seemed to take the other girls in the Apostles too naively, they weren't children like Farrie who didn't know anything.

"White flowers are normal, but, Ulysses, who gave you the rose?" Lasputin asked sourly.

Born in the upper class, she certainly knows what the ninety-nine red roses represent. They are the blessings of love among lovers-but they seem to be given by boys to girls.

"Uh...this..." Ulysses hesitated a little, which was even more suspicious in the eyes of the girls who understood the rose language.

"Master, it's not a rose from a man." Aiya smiled slyly and asked suddenly.

"Of course not, they are all very cute...Ah..." The face of Ulysses, who was accidentally fooled, turned red all of a sudden, he wanted to perfuse it.

"Oh, cute girl..." Aiya gave a happy smile. Finally, her host began to be welcomed by the girls. It is really gratifying. Should Kana and the others prepare red bean rice tonight?

You know, to make the slow, awkward master who has the same attitude towards love as an ascetic monk into a normal person who can accept flowers, she has tried her best to catch it up with herself.

"Ninety-nine red roses, it's not like ordinary girls would give them. Ulysses, they would give this, at least some eldest lady or princess." Lasputin observed carefully. The rose in Ulysses's hands began to speculate on the identity of the girl who gave Ulysses the rose.

In this late autumn season, this delicate flower cannot survive in the wild, it must be cultivated in a large greenhouse, and the price is so expensive that ordinary people can't accept it. Moreover, the meaning of ninety-nine red roses is...

"It should be..." Ulysses, who couldn't tell Angela, shook his head and showed a helpless smile.

"Forget it, Lasputin, everyone has their own little secret. And, when it comes to gifts, you have given Ulysses a better flower crown." Aya will not embarrass her master. , Using a code word that implies a certain meaning to prevent Lasputin from questioning.

"That, that's..." Lasputin's face turned red all of a sudden, and she couldn't speak anymore. Of course she can't say, because what she gave to Ulysses was "the virgin's corolla".
