[FF7] Those things after marriage

The days passed day by day, although Sephiroth would still be sent out on missions from time to time, but generally speaking, the days were peaceful.

Of course, there were no fights on the planet, but those things were too far away for Esther.Although I know it, I can't have any specific feelings.

Maybe this is the so-called 'nothing to do with yourself' mentality.

Sephiroth would not take the initiative to bring up these topics with her, even if he talked about going out, he would just talk about the customs or the special forces who went on missions together.And almost every time I go out, I will bring her something small, sometimes it is for food, sometimes it may even be just a beautiful stone...

Perhaps it was because of Sephiroth's attitude that Esther felt that those things were far away from her.

...a strong sense of depravity, but for some reason, there is no urge to strive for self-improvement at all.

So... let's just go ahead.

The weather is getting colder day by day, and a steel city like Midgar is even colder at night.

The icy weather, the icy metal streets... it seems that even the slightest warmth will be sucked away.

Although it has been the fourth year since coming here, Esther still hasn't been able to get used to this cold season.

Especially when returning home after working overtime exhaustingly, walking alone in the deserted streets will always feel extraordinarily cold.

Speaking of which, it's time to knit again.

Mom should have prepared wool again at this time, and she will sit in front of the fireplace and knit sweaters after a few days when she is less busy.

Sweaters, scarves, hats... She used to wear her mother's brand clothing.

But now this blessing is probably only enjoyed by her younger siblings.

Speaking of which, she actually hasn't been back for...almost three years.She went back in the first year, but in the second year when she got busy with work, she couldn't think of going back. Now, even if she wanted to go back, she couldn't get away.

Although she is not important enough to be her, but there are too many jobs at hand, and it is impossible to explain it all at once, and now the company is short of people, how can it be possible to give her a long vacation and let her go home.

Tsk, this is really a sad story.

But when it comes to wool... In fact, she learned from her mother for a while back then, but her talent is limited, and she can only knit scarves now.

Maybe she could consider knitting a scarf for Sephiroth?

The weather is getting colder and colder, Sephiroth's combat uniform looks extra 'cool', especially the exposed chest.

As soon as she thought about it, Esther hurriedly skipped a shift for a day and went to buy wool.

Considering Sephiroth's height and the wool that might be wasted because of handmade, Esther bought some extra wool.Carrying the wool in her bag, Esther hurried home, ate something for dinner and started her 'big cause' of knitting scarves.

It’s time for the year-end summary, and a new peak period for work. It’s hopeless to expect to be able to knit a few stitches while at work. It’s better for her to hurry up and work while she is at home.

If you knit faster, you can wrap it around when Sephiroth comes back.

Maybe she can knit one for herself too?

Couple clothes are too conspicuous, so getting a couple scarf might be a good choice.

Time flies so quickly when there are things to do, it seems that a week has passed in the blink of an eye.

Esther's scarf is finally finished and almost finished... As for the process of knitting the scarf... It's tears to say too much.

I haven’t done the work in three or four years. Although I still remember how to do it, it is still very difficult to do it in practice. The size of the needle hole is different. If you are not careful, you will make a wrong needle. The most tragic thing is when you make a wrong needle. I didn't find it. I made a mistake after knitting several lines and had to tear it down and weave it again...

It's been a bloody week.

But today...it can finally be over.Thinking of putting away the scarf after returning home today, Esther's mood was bubbling.

Even the colleagues who came to ask her to work looked a little cute.

"Miss Grant, Director Heyman of the R&D Department said that there is something wrong with the material data and asked you to check it."

...Materials from the R&D department?Shouldn't it?She approved everything she could.

With doubts, Esther came to the site of the R&D department.

To be honest, she didn't like it here.

The only people who come and go are those "scientific and technological workers" in white coats who don't like to talk to people. They are surrounded by large and small machines and tubes, as well as strange monster specimens... I don't know that they are tinkering all day long. What.All of them always look at people with eyes that are no different from looking at objects...

The hair is creepy.

Hedda Heyman is actually much better than her predecessor, Hojo. Although she seems indifferent and difficult to get in touch with, she is still very correct in her attitude towards people.

At least she treats people as people.

So Esther doesn't mind having any contact with her... Of course, it's better not to have any contact, because generally speaking, they only meet when one of them has a problem with their work.And that wasn't good news for either of them.

Stumbling through the corridor, Esther came to Hedda Heyman's office.

After politely knocking on the door three times, Hedda Heyman's indifferent voice came from inside.

"Please come in."

Updated dividing line————

Hedda Heyman's office was as deserted as its owner.And clean... inexplicably.

It's not just that the cleaning is very good, but there are very few things. Except for the necessary office supplies, there are no personal belongings that can reflect the personality of the owner. The desktop is also clean, and there is nothing except a folder.

...Compared to my office, it can be said to be 'dirty and messy'.

But she didn't come here to compare offices.

"Is there something wrong with the delivered materials?" This is the real business.

"I forgot to sign a form for you."

Under normal circumstances, two signatures are required on the material statistics sheet, one is the signature of the person in charge of the receiving party, and the other is the signature of the third-party administrative department. After both sides are confirmed, the financial side can make the final statistical confirmation. .

In fact, the financial department of Shinra Company is quite hard-working. Although they are in charge of the financial power, they are not in charge of everything related to money.

Seeing large sums of money flowing in one's own hands without the right to make decisions, this kind of invisible and intangible situation almost makes people shed tears of sympathy.

...the topic went away.

But then again.It's just such a signature, so there's no need for her to make a special trip, right?

Staring at the long list in her hand, Esther's attention involuntarily shifted to other areas.

"Life after marriage, are you happy?"

Just as Esther was absent-mindedly checking the items on the list, Hedda Heyman spoke abruptly.

"Ah...not bad."

Esther really didn't expect that Hedda Heyman would ask such... personal questions.

It's weird.

But Hedda Heyman's problems ended here, and the ending was as abrupt as the beginning, which almost made Esther think that she was hallucinating just now.

After checking, Esther signed her name on the list, and then felt that she had nothing to do, so she wanted to say hello to the woman sitting at the desk straight and leave.

It is quite stressful to be alone with such a person.

"It's actually pretty good to enjoy a moment of happiness."

When Esther was about to close the door, she seemed to hear Hedda Heyman say something that seemed to mean something.

……

So I'm marrying Sephiroth...is there still a problem?

Esther pinched the list in her hand, feeling a little confused.

Although marriage is a matter between two people, it actually involves many people and many things, especially between them.

After all, her man is Sephiroth, the hero of Shinra Corporation.

An almost deified existence.

She always felt that she was ready to meet all kinds of challenges, but she didn't expect that after marriage it would be so 'calm', which almost let her guard down.

Hedda Heyman's words were undoubtedly a reminder to her... She just didn't know whether the other party's intentions were good or evil.

The short conversation with Hedda Heyman was just an insignificant episode in Esther's life. Although it played a role in reminding her, it had no real impact.She still has to live at her own pace, going to and from get off work honestly.

When the first snow fell in Midgar, Sephiroth also returned to Shinra.

Xiao Biesheng is newly married, and Esther took the initiative to work overtime on a rare occasion, and waited unhurriedly for Sephiroth to finish her report and go home together... Well, by the way, she handed him the scarf she knitted.

It was a coincidence that the snow fell, and it happened to be used directly.

Esther specially chose silver-gray wool, which is easy to match with clothes and not gender-selective, to knit a scarf. When the scarf she knitted for herself is finished, she can use a couple scarf with Sephiroth. .

That's about all Esther's romantic expectations for a scarf.For her, handmade clothes are very common. After all, the clothes worn by the family in the village where she was born are almost all made by her mother or grandmother herself, and every household is like this.To her, the bought things will be more special.

So when she put the scarf around Sephiroth, she looked very calm.It's just that because of the difference in height between the two, Sephiroth had to bow her head before she could get it.

But for Sephiroth, this is a novel experience.

It's not that no one has sent him anything, on the contrary, there are many things sent from the support club or people who admire him, but most of them are bought at high prices.It seems that people always like to express their hearts with prices.

However, seeing those things too much would make him numb. On the contrary, it was the scarf Esther hand-knitted for him that made him feel... heartbroken.

The silver-haired man reached out and hugged the woman in front of him who was only up to his chest, his movements were intimate and gentle.

"Thank you, I like it very much."

He thanked her earnestly.

"No, you're welcome."

His reaction made Esther a little overwhelmed, she didn't expect Sephiroth to make such an affectionate move.

... Does he really like scarves?

Maybe I should weave a few more for him...?

Although a little overwhelmed by such a sudden act of intimacy, she liked seeing him so happy.Just looking at him like this will make her own heart feel warm.

This is really a magical experience. Obviously it is others who are happy, but it seems that I am also happy.

"Okay, let's go home."

In the end, Esther was the first to break out of that lingering embrace. Although she still wanted to continue, she was still in the company... If someone saw it, it would not be good.And both she and Sephiroth had been tired for the day, and they both needed to rest.

"it is good."

The man's brows and eyes were full of tenderness, and he took her hand actively.
