[FF7] Those things after marriage

In the evening, Sephiroth and Esther bid farewell to everyone in the orphanage and set foot on the way home.

Because the sky was blocked, the slums were extremely dark at this time, and the lights reflected in the houses and half-old street lamps were the only light sources.

In such an environment, most of the figures of people are covered by shadows. When you meet people, you can only vaguely see the black shadow of a human figure shaking in front of you—to be honest, you can see a little but can’t see clearly. , It's much scarier than the situation of not being able to see it.

Usually, when Esther went back by herself, she felt a little nervous. Even if there was no one, the shadows under the messy things on the side of the road looked like something would rush out at any time.

But today...

Esther glanced at the man beside her who was slowing down to match her pace.

She is not afraid at all.

To be honest, this weekend is more tiring than before, and it can even be said that there is no rest at all, and the original travel plan has also been interrupted.

But she felt very happy.

Even if they go out to play, they probably won't be happier than they are now.

"After going back, take a good hot bath and get ready for bed." Esther stretched her waist, "Bones feel sore."

"Is Sephiroth tired too? Ah... I'm going to work tomorrow... Is it okay to train or something?"

When I am happy, I always selectively forget some unpleasant things. Now that I am happy... many things are remembered.

Like... going to work.

Compared to someone like her who sits in an office, Sephiroth will be more tiring as a special soldier.

I didn't have a good rest on the rest day...

Oops, I feel even more guilty when I think about it.

"I am not tired."

Sephiroth shook his head slightly.

Thinking of what Lin Ni had said to him earlier, he hesitated for a moment, put his hand on her head and stroked it gently.

"I am also very happy."

Although he is still not used to it, but... he is happier than all the rest days he has ever had.

Compared with those days when he hardly left any memories, he has lived a much more fulfilling two days.

Esther didn't expect Sephiroth to touch her hair, so when she felt the temperature from her head, she froze for a moment, and then her heart skipped a beat——

Too bad I've been working all day, my body is covered in dust, and my hair must not be smooth enough...

Thinking about these things at this time, she really is hopeless.

The villain in Esther silently covered her face.

Esther has always been bitter about not being on her best side for the first 'intimacy' encounter.I even forgot that I should take advantage of the fire to rob at this time... No, strike while the iron is hot and hurry up to increase my favorability.

Thinking about it afterwards really made her feel sad.

This incident taught Esther a great lesson——

Sometimes being too obsessed with perfection will only make you miss another opportunity.

Monday - the day when the week starts again.

Esther came to the Shinra company building again reluctantly.

How many years until I retire?This day will really live forever.

The girl who tightly coiled her naturally curly wheat-blonde hair walked into her office while beating her shoulders.

As she expected, there were two thick stacks of documents on her desk that needed to be processed by her.After flipping through a dozen or so sheets at random, she found that many of them should have appeared on her boss's desk.

Would rather not do it and wait for me to come back, what kind of mentality is this!Why don't you do some work yourself? ?

Esther's fist, which had been pounding on her shoulder, hit the table hard, shaking the shaking documents.

Esther had an ominous premonition after seeing such an unhappy thing early in the morning.

She probably won't be able to live comfortably today.

The result was not what she expected.

A lot of unprocessed documents were swiped and thrown over, a lot of information files that were counted were swiped and thrown... There are also borrowers.

Let me borrow you big-headed ghost, I don't have enough people here, okay!

What kind of plane is the personnel department doing? So far, no new recruits have been recruited. Don't new recruits need training for their posts?Training takes no time!Now I've been working as a three-time envoy by myself, and every week I'm overtired and take sick leave!If you are tired and sick, who will work!

Thinking of Shinra's almost inefficient work progress, Esther couldn't help feeling resentful.

Although Lufus is seriously injured and can't come out to preside over the work now, which of the remaining leaders is not a capable person?It took two months for the reconstruction work to make such little progress, and no one would believe that they didn't do it on purpose.

She doesn't understand the big problems, and she doesn't know what they are planning, but the current situation has seriously affected the normal work of these employees.

Procrastinating like this is not just whining...

and many more.

go on like this...

Could it be that those people... did it on purpose?

The pen twirling in Esther's hand fell to the table with a clatter.

Could it be what she thought it would be...

As long as there is competition, there will inevitably be some people called 'spies'.These people are usually inconspicuous, but at critical times they have the ability to almost determine the victory.

Naturally, there are spies in Shinra.

Everyone who should know this is well aware of it, but in the past, Shinra's status as the number one planet with wealth and wealth was unshakable, so the leaders didn't bother to pay attention to those small fish and shrimp, but now Shinra is in a precarious reconstruction stage, these small fish and shrimp But it can lead to tricky troubles.

Maybe even lure wolves into the house.

That's why they plan to clean up the interior before absorbing fresh blood... I guess.

Esther picked up her pen, but couldn't read the documents on the table.

So they are all under surveillance.

What a sad thing.

Although she figured out the doubts she had been having for a long time, Esther was not happy at all.

She just wants to work hard and retire smoothly, and finally live a comfortable life happily with her pension.But the progress of things now is completely contrary to her ideal.

Especially since she married a man who was almost bound to the name Shinra.

Frustrated, she threw the pen on the table, and Esther leaned back heavily on the back of the chair, without moving for a long time.

Another meeting in the afternoon.

Because she vaguely sensed the thoughts of the 'big shots', Esther looked particularly sluggish.

Although it doesn't seem to have any direct relationship with her, as the second in command of the administrative department, she is involved in a lot of things. Maybe some things were signed out from her hands, but she doesn't know those seemingly normal things. Information buried between the lines in the document.

After Esther finished the report absent-mindedly, she began to sit in a daze in her seat again. There were only a few scattered words in the notebook that should have been filled with the key points of the meeting.

"Oh, I've only been away for a while and I'm missing you again? They really deserve to be newlyweds."

Unscrupulous teasing rang in his ears.

"Are you reminiscing about the romance and sweetness of the rest day? Tsk tsk tsk, it's really enviable."

"If you're envious, go find a good girl to marry." Esther closed the notebook and slapped it obliquely backward skillfully. "Besides, don't you keep saying that you have your Mary, your Luna, your little sweetheart?"

It's a pity that the hard-covered notepad was emptied and was taken away by a big hand.

"Only when you are passionately in love can you feel the beauty of heaven. Marriage is the grave of this beauty—besides, if an excellent man like me gets married, those beautiful girls will cry."

"It should be thankful that you, a pervert, won't act recklessly." Esther rubbed her forehead, feeling angry when she heard the shameless words of her unreliable boss.

Sure enough, a man should be as capable and reliable as her Sephiroth, without being glib.

"No, no, some of the little pleasures actually start after marriage. The thrill of being with someone other than your partner is something you don't get with your partner, and that's a wonderful—"

"That's a stupid thing that a shameless bastard with no limits would do!"

Esther's forehead twitched, and she lowered her voice and scolded.

The feet that were kept neatly under the table also turned in a different direction, thinking that the feet of a red-haired man would be crushed.Feeling the soft touch from the heel, Esther seemed to feel better.

Of course, she did all this very carefully.

Lazard was giving a report above, and she didn't want to be put in a bad shoes because of this kind of thing in the future.

Even if Chief Lazard wouldn't mind, his admirer wouldn't mind causing her a little trouble.

Although the manager of Lazard is not as handsome as Sephiroth, he has a dignified appearance, a calm personality, a high position and no bad hobbies. He is also a shining diamond.

Therefore, although it is not as popular as Sephiroth, but in terms of the number of admirers... it cannot be underestimated.

A jealous woman is irrational, and she has a deep understanding of this sentence.

As if he had learned a lesson, the red-haired man sat in his seat obediently and did not do anything to challenge Esther's aura.After this episode passed, the meeting lasted for more than two hours.

Shinra is going to send troops abroad again.

They were indeed honest for a while after the last attack was repelled, but after seeing the status quo that Shinra's reconstruction work had not been completed, the remnants of the Wutai Army could not hold back and started to act again.

For this reason, all departments must fully cooperate with the special forces department and try their best to meet all their needs.Of course, there are many trivial things, such as the allocation of funds by the Ministry of Finance, the maintenance of weapons by the R&D Department, and the external publicity of the Public Relations Department.

But to Esther, it only meant two things:

One: Sephiroth, who is Shinra's signature, is about to go to the battlefield again, and her short wedding period is about to end.

Second: the previous nightmarish day of working overtime every day and being tired like a dog is about to repeat itself...

Esther rested her forehead with her palm.

She knew that nothing good would happen today!
