[FF7] Those things after marriage

The weather is getting cold.Although the inside of the Shinra Building is very warm, but also because the temperature difference between the building is too warm and the temperature outside is too large, many civilian staff have caught colds to varying degrees.This made the already understaffed situation even worse, especially for Esther, it was a nightmare situation.

Because her bastard boss is also a member of the 'hired', and it's a particularly serious one.

It has been three days since I got sick and I am still sleeping with a high fever.

Therefore, almost all the heavy responsibilities of the administrative department fell on Esther's shoulders... The saddest thing is that every department is very busy now, and she can't even ask for foreign aid.Therefore, although Sephiroth has never been on a mission, Esther has not been able to meet him even if he works in the same building.

When I got home, I was too tired to talk or do anything, so the two of them couldn't have a good chat for several days.

...For some reason, I always feel a little lonely when I think about it.

Even though they were so close, they just couldn't talk properly.

We rarely even meet each other.

The girl sitting behind the desk lay prone on the thick document, with her cheek pressed against the paper that smelled of ink, and let out a long sigh.

She won't curse that bastard anymore...please planet, make him well soon!

Whether her prayers worked or not, Lance Wadsworth declared healed after a week of illness, alive and kicking as if he had never been sick.

It was infuriating to see him so radiant.

Esther curled her lips, looked at the documents that almost covered the desktop, and took out the phone.

"Sephiroth? Do you want to have lunch together... huh? Work? I'm not too busy today. After all, Lance is back from his sick leave. It's okay."

"Then, see you at the first cafeteria at noon~"

While Esther was talking, she quickly sorted out the documents on the table, neatly stacking them into several tall stacks.Then he took out the internal phone number that had been stuffed in the drawer because he felt it was getting in the way, and called someone who resumed work today.

"Mr. Lance, I've almost finished all the work that needs to be done. Please come and get it~ What? I didn't hear what you said clearly. It's probably because the line is not stable... Anyway, just come and get it, hard work la~"

Pretending not to hear the other party's crackling evasion, Esther simply hung up the phone, pushed aside the documents that she was going to give to someone later, and then took out her work and continued to struggle.

There is still work to be done.

But thanks to a red hair who returned to her position, she can finally have lunch with her man in comfort.

After the restoration of the Shinra Building, the cafeteria has returned to its previous appearance. The special forces canteen for special forces, the first canteen for cadre-level employees, and the second canteen for ordinary employees.In fact, there is no particularly big difference in taste, but it is more stable in comparison.

Some things can also be exchanged through the 'table culture'.

When Esther hurried over, Sephiroth had already arrived.He was sitting in an inconspicuous corner, the table in front of him was full of food, and he had already ordered her portion.

"I've been waiting for a long time!" Esther rushed over in a hurry, panting heavily, and sat on the seat opposite the silver-haired man.

Sephiroth didn't speak, but thoughtfully handed over the drinks on the table.

Esther was not polite, took the cup and drank several sips before putting the cup away, and let out a long sigh of relief: "I'm alive!"

"Lance is back?" Sephiroth smiled and watched his wife's slightly rude actions...Of course, Xi Shi is in the eye of the beholder, and such actions are at best blunt in Sephiroth's opinion.

And he actually liked her lively demeanor.

That is a very different performance from this cold company.

"Yeah... I guess I have to go if he doesn't come back." The girl with thin beads of sweat on her face because she was walking quickly shrugged. A...no, the work of four or five people."

"Even if I don't give me the salary of four or five people, I should have a double share."

Of course, she also knew that this was impossible, but it was really uncomfortable to complain.

While chatting, Esther suddenly seemed to remember something, and took out her salary card from the pocket of her bag.

"Sephiroth, if you get off work early in the past two days, help me go to the bank to transfer the money."

"transfer?"

"Well, transfer money to my mother's card." Esther put the card into Sephiroth's hand, "It's almost New Years and I can't go back... I have to send some money home Let them buy something they like and have a good New Year."

'home'...

This is another unfamiliar word for Sephiroth.

He was born in Shinra and grew up in Shinra. For him, Shinra Company almost represented his entire past. Even if he didn't like it, he could only stay here.

Because he has nowhere else to go.

But this year is different, because of Esther, he has one more place to go back to... Although he still doesn't know if this can be called 'home', he likes the house where the two of them live.

"... Shall I transfer some money back too?" Sephiroth said suddenly.

Seeing Esther's somewhat surprised expression, he said a little embarrassedly: "I can't go to see them either, it should be better to do this."

Although he has no experience with his family, he instinctively feels that it is better for him to participate in it.

Esther thought so too, and she readily agreed.

"Okay, let them know that I married a good man who can make money." This way the family will feel more at ease.

She is the eldest in the family and has been used to making decisions since she was a child.Whether you come to Midgar to work or get married here is your own decision.Especially the latter, because Sephiroth's status is quite special, and what she said is also very vague... If there is such an opportunity to let the family know that she is doing well and the man she married is also reliable, then the family should be more at ease, right? .

"Then I'll go to the bank this afternoon." For some reason, I always feel a little... looking forward to it.

... There is no need to rush.

Esther wanted to say that, but seeing Sephiroth seemed relieved, she swallowed her words again.

Let him like it.

Pleasant lunch time is always short.After eating, the two parted ways at the entrance of the restaurant and went to their respective jobs.

Sephiroth and the others are also very busy recently, busy training the 2nd and 3rd special forces.This year, due to various reasons, they lost a lot of special forces and have not replenished their troops, so they can only choose to improve the combat effectiveness of the existing special forces.

In fact, it is enough for the 3rd special forces to be trained by the 2nd special forces, but for the sake of boosting morale and improving centripetal force, the three 1st special forces also participated in it.Especially the appearance of the "hero" Sephiroth made the 3rd special forces excited, and their enthusiasm for training was much higher - even if they went back every day full of injuries, they could not stop their enthusiasm.

Zacks is the best among them. He has cooperated with Sephiroth several times, and of course he has a deeper relationship than others.Therefore, he also fought the most times with Sephiroth... Of course, he also suffered the most injuries.But I have to say that he is a good seed, and he has achieved great results in this kind of battle training, and he has improved a lot.

If there are no accidents, he will be able to upgrade to the 2nd level next year.

Of course, these are all inside information, which he himself does not know.

On the other hand, after returning to the office, Esther began to write the summary to be used in the meeting.

At the end of the year, various summing-up meetings sprung up like mushrooms after rain.There is a meeting almost every two days, and sometimes even twice a day.

Small meetings within the department, meetings attended by heads of various departments... Large and small meetings are simply turning heads.

Although President Rufus did not participate in this afternoon's meeting, the heads of all departments will be present, so it can also be said to be a banknote meeting'. Naturally, this summary must be written somewhat levelly.Therefore, Esther had to put down other work at hand, concentrate on biting the tip of the pen and racking her brains to write.

But fortunately there is no president Rufus, otherwise this report would have to be written several days in advance and then revised over and over again.

Although Rufus is a capable BOSS, that mouth is also directly proportional to his ability... No one wants his unforgiving muzzle to be aimed at him.

The afternoon meeting was as boring and complicated as ever.

As the right-hand man of President Lufus, Zeng is in charge of this meeting... After Lufus became the president, Zeng's status has also risen accordingly, and he even has the air of a vice president.

Of course, it was only vaguely, after all, there was Lazard, the director of special forces, on the other side.

From the current point of view, the position of 'Vice President' will fall on one of these two people.

But even if they were competitors, the atmosphere between these two people was not as tense as people imagined.On the contrary, neither of the two seemed to show any intention of fighting, which disappointed many opportunists who wanted to see both of them lose or one of them lose so that they could take advantage of it.

Supporters of the two have also maintained a delicate wait-and-see attitude because of their attitudes.This made Este heave a sigh of relief.

Although the fight between these two people has nothing to do with her directly, if the two fight to trip each other up, then they will inevitably be involved.

You sue me for stealing supplies, and I sue you for embezzling public funds... Leaving aside whether they can bring down the other party, they, the third parties, will inevitably be shot.After all, whether it is materials or money, they have to touch their hands.

Especially at the end of the new year, no matter where you are, you are extremely busy, and if something goes wrong, you can't find evidence to pick yourself out.

Esther propped her head up and looked at the special forces supervisor who was speaking, and then at Zeng who was sitting silently in front and listening to the speech.He sighed secretly.

I don't know how long this delicate balance can be maintained.

Just hope this move is a 'peace exercise'...otherwise it's a disaster.
