[FF7] Those things after marriage

When Esther sat down at her desk and picked up a document and started to finish the work super efficiently so as to free up time to buy a dining table with Sephiroth, she realized that... ...In the light of the circumstances, this seems to be her first 'date' with Sephiroth.

... The power was gone in an instant.

Because she thought of her serious work clothes without any sense of beauty.

Oh Schett, can she go home and change clothes before coming out?

After 18 years of life, the first date turned out to be in such a dress is really disappointing.

But even going on a date in this outfit... is better than no date at all.

After figuring this out, she got up from the table and continued to struggle.

Quickly finishing the last document on the left side of the table, Esther picked up the large stack of completed documents and rushed to the office of her unreliable boss.

Knocking on the door regardless of the meaning, Esther kicked it up... It's a pity that the bastard boss locked the door today, so she couldn't kick it open like she imagined.

Esther was shaken a few times by the reaction force from the door, and took several steps back before she stabilized her body.

Esther, who was almost ashamed, held the documents in one hand, adjusted the hem of her clothes with the other, and then turned the handle of the door, pushed the door open and walked in.

Da da da.

Esther walked quite vigorously, and the small-heeled boots that usually walked quietly made a clear sound of collision with the ground.

boom.

A thick stack of papers hit someone's desk, startling someone who was sitting behind the desk spinning pens in every possible way.

"Esther, are you in menopause?"

Someone must not be thinking when they speak.

"You're the endocrine disorder!"

With one hand on her hip, Esther pressed the top of the document with the other, and subconsciously put on a posture to argue with him, but soon she remembered the real purpose of coming here this time.

"I'm leaving early today, and I'll leave the rest of the work to you."

"what?"

"Because I'm going to buy a dining table with Sephiroth today, so I'm leaving early today... Is that clear?"

The girl with wheat blond hair showed her affection in front of a bachelor in an open and honest manner. Before, he always heard him say that the two of them were lonely, so it was pitiful. Today it was finally her turn to laugh at him.

"Hey, Esther, are you okay, are you on track with our hero so quickly?"

"Why do you sound so harsh..."

"Tsk tsk, Esther, you can't be so startled, I'm praising you, how can you look at me with such disgusting eyes."

Seeing the red-haired man pretending to be sad, Esther resisted the urge to roll her eyes, turned around and walked out, not bothering to know more about him.

"Then I will take care of the work in the afternoon~"

Before leaving, Esther gave him a final wave.

"Sure enough, having the opposite sex means being inhuman!"

The red-haired man, who was looking heartbroken just now, clicked his tongue, grabbed a document on the table and looked at it for a while, then slapped his face casually, and then leaned back, looking confused. The look of a dude who eats and waits to mix up working hours.

"The company pays you and invites you to come here, not to let you doze off here."

A calm male voice came from the door.

"Those who know how to combine work and rest can complete their work more effectively~" The red-haired man stretched out his hand and pulled the papers off his face, and looked at the blond man with a cane and a bandage on his head with a smile on his face.

"Yo Lazard, it seems that you are recovering well - you can get out of bed already? What about Rufus? Is our sleeping prince awake?"

"If I were you, I'd use more respectful terms with my boss."

After the blond-haired man finished speaking, he limped to the red-haired man's desk on crutches.

"I heard... not so happy news." Lazard stared closely at the red-haired man with a frivolous smile, "I heard... During the period when the vice president was hospitalized, when Sephiroth's witness?"

"That's right~"

The red-haired man readily affirmed his question.

"After so many bad things, I think it is necessary for Shinra to have some 'good things' to dissipate the dull atmosphere. It just so happens that the young couple have a crush on each other, so I pushed the boat along the way. Isn't it good now?"

"...I hope that after the vice president... no, after the president returns, you can still say that."

After Lazard finished speaking, he turned around and limped away on crutches.

"...Who would have known such a thing?"

The red-haired man shrugged and leaned back in his chair.

Esther, oblivious to the conversation between the two men, returned to her work after a quick lunch.

Although she is very concerned about dating, she can't just leave her work behind. She can only finish the work that needs to be done as soon as possible to free up time... Although as far as the current situation is concerned, the work at hand is basically endless...

At [-]:[-] in the afternoon, there was another knock on the door of Esther's office.

"Please come in."

The girl bent over and worked hard said without raising her head.

She thought it was another staff member who came to get the documents for her.

"Esther?"

Esther's rapid writing stopped.

"Sephiroth? Ah, is it already this point?"

Esther suddenly turned her head to look at the clock beside her, only to realize that it was almost four o'clock.

"Sit on the sofa first, and I'll be ready soon."

Esther's writing speed became faster, and she quickly finished the document in her hand.After closing the folder with a snap, she simply got up and collected the documents on the table, picked up her bag and walked towards Sephiroth who was sitting straight on the sofa.

"Okay, let's go."

Although they wanted to buy a dining table, they also had to take into account the supporting parts, such as tablecloths... So after some hesitation, Esther decided to go to a store that was a little farther away but had more complete items.

Walking out of the Shinra building, the two walked side by side on the streets of Midgar.

Although there were fewer busy young people in Midgar in the evening, there were many frolicking children.Children big and small, boys and girls, they ran down the street with smiles on their faces. Although they would inevitably bump into pedestrians, no one would blame these happy children.

However, Sephiroth and Esther had never been hit by that time, and I don’t know if it’s because the two people are too strong, or because Sephiroth pulled Ais away who was about to be hit by a child several times. special.

In fact, Esther does not have a good impression of the city of Midgar.To the children of farmers from distant villages who have struggled in the world for generations, Midgar, a steel city far away from the ground, seems to be another world.

There is no familiar fragrance of the soil, no bright colors embellished by plants, and even no clear blue sky...but fortunately, the people are still the same.

Although the way of life is different, people's troubles and smiles are so similar.

No one knew that Esther, who seemed shrewd and capable, almost retreated when she first came to this steel city and wanted to go home the same way.

but……

Glancing at the silver-haired man walking beside her, Esther suddenly felt very grateful for her bravery at that time.

Although she suffered a lot at the beginning, looking at it now... In fact, God still treats her very... well, well, it's a little too fair.

The store Esther wants to go to is located on a rather bustling street. Although the wooden signboard looks out of place with the city, it looks very comfortable.

Esther stretched out her hand and opened the door. With the sound of the copper bell on the door, there was an energetic greeting from the store.

"welcome!"

A little boy about thirteen or fourteen ran out of the store, and immediately greeted her warmly when he saw the person coming:

"It's been a long time, sister Esther... But there are no new lamps yet?"

"...I didn't come to look for a desk lamp this time."

The villain in Esther covered her face silently, she just likes different styles of desk lamps, but what he said made her seem to have a fanatic collection of desk lamps.

"Eh? So you're here...?"

"I'll look at the dining table, and the tablecloths..."

Esther walked in while talking.

The boxy shop is filled with all kinds of furniture, most of which are made of wood and some are made of stone or all metal.

"What about the dining table... Huh? Sa, Mr. Sephiroth!???"

The boy's voice suddenly changed its tone halfway through.

Midgar City... It shouldn't be said that there is no boy on this planet who doesn't know such a beautiful face.

Shinra's super ace, the 1st commando soldier, the only man known as a hero... He can be said to be the dream of every boy.

...How could she forget this.

It was probably because the journey was so smooth that she accidentally forgot the influence of the man beside her.

What a failure!

Looking at the young man with starry eyes, Esther silently covered her face.

On the contrary, Sephiroth seemed quite calm, he smiled and said to the little boy:

"Hello."

"Ying, the hero talked to me!"

Now the little boy's eyes are as bright as a light bulb.

"Can you introduce us to the dining table?" the silver-haired hero continued.

"Yes, yes." Hearing his idol asking himself, the little boy was so excited that he almost jumped up, and hurriedly introduced his own products while walking.

Although he is not very young, he is probably more eloquent than many adults, especially in front of his idol at this time, and he is extraordinary. His small mouth is as fast as a machine gun, and he talks non-stop.

This made Esther who was standing by the side a bit uncomfortable——

...Obviously I am the regular customer who has contributed a lot of income to your family, okay?

This differential treatment should not be so obvious, okay?
