[FF7] Those things after marriage
Chapter 33
Not long after the three of them hid in the cave, pieces of snow fell outside.
First there was the whistling cold wind, and then large flakes of snowflakes were swirled outside by the wind, almost fascinating people's eyes.
If you are going on your way in such weather... nine out of ten it will be a tragedy.
The cold wind is pervasive, and the sight will be blocked by the wind and snow, and maybe you will lose your way because of it...
It's terrifying to think about.
Esther sat beside the crackling fire with her knees crossed, tilting her head and staring at the wind and snow outside in a daze.For a person who has always been afraid of the cold, it is actually quite scary to see such a scene in such a crude environment.Those death reports that I have seen before will always pop up in my mind inexplicably.
Fortunately, she was with Sephiroth, otherwise she must be one of the victims reported in the future.
Thinking of her own man, Esther felt more at ease.Although the current situation is still very bad, seeing his calm look seems to be comforted.
Especially they still have the pistachio of Zacks, even if they want to lose it, they can't lose it.
After Sephiroth went hunting for a while, Zack couldn't stay anymore.
"I'll go out to practice for a while." Zack is a restless person, and letting him stay in the cave honestly would kill him.Or stand or sit, stop and go.After a while he couldn't bear it anymore, picked up the broad sword beside him and walked out in a hurry.
"...don't go too far."
Knowing that she couldn't stop it, Esther stopped trying to dissuade him, and stopped caring about him after a few words of advice.The special forces are all tenacious, and he is not a fool. If he can't hold on, he will naturally run back... If it doesn't work, Sephiroth is still there, so just ask him to drag Zack back when the time comes.
Although the wind and snow outside seemed scary, it shouldn't be a problem for Sephiroth... At least she didn't see the word 'worried' on Zack's face from the beginning to the end.Originally, Sephiroth said that he wanted to go with him when he was looking for something to eat, but Sephiroth stopped him.The reason is that his inexperience will hold him back.
...That's why Zack went out to practice, right?Unconvinced or something.
But Esther couldn't stay still for Zack's move, but she didn't choose to run out to fight at this time, but chose to open her suitcase to change clothes.After thinking about it again and again, she still felt that it would be more at ease to wear the clothes on her body. Although it was likely to be broken in this environment, it was better than losing the suitcase without it.After all, the box is a foreign object, and it is not impossible to throw it away at a critical moment.
So it is more reliable to wear it on yourself.
After changing her coat, Esther started packing her suitcases.Although it looked a bit messy because Zack had already opened it, there was nothing missing.Therefore, instead of wrapping in cloaks that can only protect against the wind but are not very warm, they can be covered with warm blankets today.
That thick blanket takes up almost half of the volume of the box.After removing the blanket and a change of clothes, there are only a few odds and ends, such as towels, umbrellas, lighters, and pocket knives.
In fact, there are also toiletries such as facial cleanser, but these things are obviously useless at this time, so it's better not to mention them.
... She regretted it. At the beginning, she shouldn't have thought that there were basic daily necessities there, but she didn't even bring a cup. As a result, she was so thirsty that she could only grab a handful of snow to eat.
It really feels like returning to the life of primitive people thousands of years ago.
"I am back."
Esther sorted the boxes over and over again, and when she knew where everything was put with her eyes closed, a silver-haired man walked in with a chill all over her body.Looking out from Esther's perspective, the man's silver hair blown by the wind almost merged with the heavy snow outside... This made him look like a man transformed from ice and snow.
Esther was amused by her fantasy, but then a little sad.Because Sephiroth like that seems to disappear into the wind and snow at any moment... This is really not a happy thought.
"welcome."
As Esther responded, she picked up the towel and walked towards Sephiroth, tiptoeing to help him dust off the snow that fell on him.
"Come and enjoy the fire, I think the temperature on your body is like ice."
Esther touched Sephiroth's cheek, as if she had touched a piece of ice.
"kindness."
Sephiroth placed the unknown prey at the entrance of the cave, and followed Esther back to the fire.The temperature at the entrance of the cave is very low, so there is no need to worry about the damage of the prey.
"... Where's Zack?"
"He said he was going to exercise for a while and went out, but he hasn't come back... I guess he is not convinced that you said he would slow down." Esther shook off the blanket and draped it over Sephiroth. "I thought that if he didn't come back later, I would ask you to drag him back...so I didn't stop him."
"kindness."
The silver-haired man nodded.
He has no objection to Zacks' approach.There is nothing wrong with wanting to become stronger, and he is happy to see him have this kind of persistence.Shinra is a place where only the strong have a say, and there is no harm in becoming stronger.
The two of them chatted one after another, and the sky gradually darkened.Just when Esther was about to ask Sephiroth if he should drag Zack back, Zack came back covered in snow.
The boy's black hedgehog hair was almost covered with icicles, and there were traces of frost on his clothes.He dragged the broad sword in his hand into the cave and sat down, leaning against the mountain wall and gasping for air.
"...What are you doing here?"
How much sweat did he sweat to get this look?
In such weather, he made himself sweat profusely. What kind of practice did he do?This was almost unimaginable to Esther.
Perhaps it is not an exaggeration to describe it as 'desperate'.
Esther brought him the towel, only to find that she hardly knew where to start.Before Zack could answer her question, he grabbed his arm and dragged him towards the fire.
This is the real 'Iceman', if it continues to freeze like this, it will be too cold to fly.
But as soon as she exerted her strength, Esther realized that she really overestimated her own strength.
She couldn't pull the boy under her hand at all. If the other party didn't cooperate, she could at most lift one of his arms.
"...Sephiroth."
At this time, I can only choose to ask for help.
The silver-haired man picked up the black-haired boy who had collapsed at the door with one hand, and put him next to the fire, letting the warm flames 'thaw' him.
It took a while for the black-haired boy to recover.
"It's so cold." The boy said the first words after returning.And hearing this sentence, Esther suddenly didn't know whether she should be angry or laugh.
"You still know it's cold, you almost froze yourself into an icicle before you came back... Are you really desperate!?"
As she said that, the girl with long blonde hair posed like an elder sister and rubbed the young boy's head with a little dampness.
"It's bullshit!"
It's true that you want to become stronger, but you have to save your life to become stronger, right?
"hey-hey."
The young man smiled embarrassedly, and didn't dare to tell Esther that he could hardly feel the outside environment at that time. If it wasn't for thinking about coming back, he might still be outside now... just don't know if he is awake or in a coma up.
But I have to say that the effect of training in adversity is good, especially in such a real environment, the simulation in the training room is completely inferior.
He had just recovered, and he was already thinking about when to do this kind of training again.
Of course, he didn't tell Esther about this plan—this was probably the animal's intuition.
Night falls.
After hastily eating some barbecue for dinner, the three of them were free again.Sephiroth let the snow pile up at the entrance of the cave just like yesterday, blocking the cold wind outside.Because Zacks cut down a whole dead tree, they had plenty of firewood today, and the fire was naturally flourishing.
According to Esther's original plan, she wanted to give the blanket to Zacks who was frozen today, but her proposal was rejected by the other two in unison.
Because compared to Zack, her physique is weaker.Her endurance is also much worse, just like now, even though she is hiding in the cave next to the fire, her complexion is pale, and she looks like she has been frozen.
The parties have said so, and Esther will naturally not be too hypocritical.Simply wrapped the thick blanket around himself and Sephiroth.
As a husband and wife, of course there is a blessing to share at this time.
The cold will always take people's physical strength unconsciously, and Esther can't hold it anymore when she is free.After discussing the next itinerary for a while, she fell asleep leaning against Sephiroth unbearably.
Sensing Esther's body leaning over, Sephiroth adjusted his posture to make Esther sleep more comfortably.Then he tightened the blanket wrapped around the two of them, and after making sure that she would not be attacked by the cold, she concentrated on answering the questions Zack encountered during practice.
Although the weapons of the two are not the same, and the content of the training is also different, there are always some things in common.
"Esther is so tired."
Looking at Esther who was wrapped in a thick blanket with only her head exposed, Zacks couldn't help sighing—this kind of environment can be called 'bitter' for him, let alone Esther Especially this clerical worker.
"kindness."
The silver-haired man responded softly, tightening his arms around Esther, bringing her closer.The beautiful eyes are always softer when they see Esther.
Zack, who was sitting on the other side wrapped in Sephiroth's cloak, looked at the two people on the other side of the fire, with a little envy in his heart.He was a little envious of the relationship between the two. Although there were no nasty words or deeds, there was intimacy in their demeanor.
It would be great if I could have such feelings in the future.
Although he still doesn't know what kind of girl he will fall in love with in the future, he will definitely treat her well... at least he must treat her as well as Sephiroth treats Esther.
The black-haired boy secretly swore in his heart.
The author has something to say: In fact, Sa Ye seems to have no cape in his outfit [Hi] But I added one... Don’t pay too much attention to such trivial things [Hi]
Zacks will be a good husband with the exemplary [hello] precepts and deeds [mud]
Yesterday, I suddenly wanted to write an article about the male lead being perverted […] After pondering for a long time about the setting and the character of the male lead [Mud], the result was that my head was full of perverted memes and I couldn’t type it properly... Anyway, today’s update is done T0T
I'm going to an interview tomorrow... I'm a little nervous [cover my face], meh girls, Kuaiai gave me the courage to love [Hello]
☆、34 after marriage
When Esther opened her eyes the next day, the cave was still the same as when she fell asleep, which made her unable to distinguish the time for a while.The entrance of the cave is still blocked by layers of snow, and the only light source is the still burning fire in front. Looking at the entrance of the cave with the light of the flames, you can also see the shiny reflection of the snow inside the entrance of the cave.
The snow on the inner side seems to have melted due to the temperature, but it has been re-frozen due to the coldness from outside.This looks a bit crystal clear.
"..."
Although the air can still be regarded as fresh, it is inexplicably a little stuffy.Esther took a deep breath, and exhaled a long breath of foul air as if she wanted to exhale the depression in her heart.It took a few times to feel better.
"Sleep well?"
Almost as soon as Esther opened her eyes, the silver-haired man who was being used as a pillow woke up.I didn't speak before because I thought that Esther might continue to sleep again. Later, I felt that Esther's breathing became irregular, so I opened my mouth first.Esther gave a soft 'En', but didn't get up, and leaned lazily on Sephiroth in a daze.
In fact, it is a lie to say that I slept well... No matter how hard it is to sit and sleep in this icy and snowy place, at least now Esther feels that her muscles and bones are aching, as if protesting her mistreatment of them.
But as someone who doesn't contribute much, it seems a bit hypocritical for her to say that... But such a life is really sad... She will never go on such a long journey again!I will cry if I continue.
It feels like these two times didn't get any good at all... Well, considering the rising favor with Sephiroth, it seems that I can't say the same.
In terms of emotions, she still gained a lot.
From a certain point of view, this is also...the emperor pays off?
The corner of Esther's mouth twitched by her brain teasing, couldn't bear to think about it.
But thanks to it, she was completely awake... But even so, she was still reluctant to leave her 'throne', huddled in a thick blanket and leaned against Sephiroth to enjoy his warm body temperature. This place of suffering can really be said to be a kind of enjoyment.
... In contrast, Zacks, who was curled up by himself, looked much more pitiful.Although he also has a cloak to wrap.
Looking at the teenager who seemed to have not woken up on the other side of the fire, Esther inexplicably felt a little guilty. Although she didn't do anything, she always had a feeling of bullying an honest person.
But it was impossible for her to let Sephiroth out.The scene where Sephiroth and Zack cuddle together...can't look straight.
It seemed that Esther's vision was too subtle. The black-haired boy who was curled up at the side moved and got up from the ground.
"Why is it dark again?"
Zack rubbed his eyes and muttered rather dissatisfied.Although his voice was not loud, it was quite obvious in this quiet space where only the sound of burning firewood could be heard.At least the two other than him heard it.
"..." No matter how you think about it, it's impossible.
This time the snowstorm was stronger than the previous two days, and it didn't seem to show signs of weakening until noon.But there are only signs of this, and it doesn't stop... Maybe they will be trapped here all day.Although there is no shortage of food and drink, the feeling of being aggrieved will not be weakened in the slightest.
Like a howling wind mixed with snow and ice particles, it raged outside the cave, covering the traces they left yesterday, and also obscuring the direction of progress.There is no sun, no stars.The trees are all thin and dry... There are almost no markers to judge the direction.
Esther was very worried, but Zacks, who had already woken up, seemed quite excited, as if he was eager to go out and hone his skills.In addition to his own excitement, he also kept encouraging Sephiroth, trying to let him challenge adversity with him.
The silver-haired man didn't have any special intentions about this. He was not afraid of the raging wind and snow outside, and he didn't mind staying in the cave with Esther.
But it's also interesting to see Zack bouncing around with such anticipation.
But just staying in the cave like this is really boring.Esther regretted it again - she would have known better if she had put a deck of playing cards in the suitcase.Three people playing cards is also better than sitting around doing nothing.Sitting for a long time can also be uncomfortable.
Thinking of this, Esther shrank back and lay on Sephiroth's lap.After all, it was daytime, although it was still very cold and did not have the biting coldness of night.Therefore, even if there is a gap between the blanket and the body, it can still be tolerated.Seeing that Esther changed her posture, Sephiroth pulled the blanket over her back towards her, and specially relaxed her body, trying to make her more comfortable.
Couldn't have been more considerate.
Zack expressed envy and hatred for this.Of course it wasn't that he wanted to lie on Sephiroth's lap, but he was jealous that Esther could make that Sephiroth so...active without saying anything.
You have to know that he is so familiar with Sephiroth [self-confessed], if you want to compete with him, you have to find someone all over the world, and you have to see if he is free... and you have to be beaten to a half when you are competing.
It's as if now, his mouth is dry after talking for a long time, it's not as effective as Esther's action... Judging from this situation, Sephiroth will definitely not accompany him out to practice.
It is simply a tragedy in which the beholder weeps and smells the sadness.
Esther rubbed the man under her contentedly, then fell asleep again at some point.
The wheat-blonde long-haired girl lay on Sephiroth's lap with her eyes closed, her peaceful sleeping face looked younger than usual, and there was a hint of childishness in her frowning and other inadvertent small movements.Probably only then did she look like a teenage girl.Her usual mature and serious attire made her look several years older than she actually was. Although she looked stable and reliable, she lacked the vigor of a girl.
If you really count, she is actually not a few years older than Zacks.
It should be said that neither she nor Sephiroth is actually much older than Zacks.It's just because of their daily demeanor that they seem so mature that people ignore their actual age.They are both in their prime of life, but they shoulder heavier responsibilities and work than most 'adults'... From this point of view, they are actually worthy of being a couple.
Although saddened by Sephiroth's neglect, Zack regained his spirit after a while, squatting next to Sephiroth with great interest and whispering to him.It doesn't matter what the topic is, it's just chatting all over the world.There are the usual embarrassing things, the gossip among colleagues, and some questions and confusions during the battle.
Sephiroth was not a man of words, but he listened carefully.Seeing his serious expression, Zacks was also full of energy when he said it.
Until finally being scolded by the tireless Esther to squat in the corner.
She is not a dead person, and of course Barabala will be heard when someone is always in her ear—even if Sephiroth covers her ears with his hands, he will still hear the voice that accidentally became louder when he said that he was getting up.Especially he said that in the end, it was almost always on the rise.
But this way, she couldn't fall asleep.
I wasn't too sleepy before, but now I'm more energetic...so I feel that I have nothing to do.For a restless person like her, this was a real disaster.
The wind and snow that hindered their movement continued until the evening before it gradually stopped.Although it was not conducive to action at night, the three chose to leave in order not to be trapped here again.
Esther put on all the clothes she could wear without hindering her movement. It was so cold at night in the cave with the fire, let alone outside.In fact, she was a little scared...but in order not to be trapped in the cave like a trapped beast, she overcame her fear of the cold and resolutely chose to set off immediately.
I would rather freeze to death than suffocate to death!
After everything was ready, the three of them set foot on the way to the Ice and Snow Village in the dusk without the setting sun.This walk lasted for several hours. In order to save energy and maintain body temperature, the three of them hardly spoke a word along the way.It wasn't until midnight that Esther was too tired to walk anymore, so she found a temporary place to rest the same as the previous two days.
On the third day of this stop and go, they finally saw the human village from a distance—although they only saw something like a roof, Esther almost cried with joy.
The icy and snowy environment suddenly looks very beautiful, but it is easy to get snow blindness if you look at it for a long time.Apart from the cold and exhaustion, this is Esther's biggest enemy - she has felt that her eyes are uncomfortable several times, and she has been afraid to say it out of fear of affecting her journey.
I just secretly closed my eyes to relieve it.That's why I almost fell down a few times on the road.
And now, such painful days will soon be over!The wheat-blonde long-haired girl almost wanted to jump up to express her joy, but in the end she suppressed the childish jump with reason - Sephiroth has been useless to confirm that it is the Ice and Snow Village, so she is a little worried.
What if it wasn't the Ice and Snow Village, and she was relieved...it would definitely be a nightmare for her who finally saw hope.
So she didn't dare to ask, because she was afraid that the answer she got would irritate herself.
After walking forward for a while, they came to the edge of a long slope. This slope from top to bottom looks quite steep, and it is a white flower that seems to have no end in sight.
But if you want to continue to move in this direction, this slope is the only way to go.
"After passing this slope, we can reach the Ice and Snow Village today."
Sephiroth patted Esther's head, comforting her in a gentle voice.
"...Be patient a little longer, Esther." As he said that, the silver-haired man turned around and reached out to hug Esther, "Hold me, and I will take you down."
Get down! ?
Esther was stunned, and reflexively put her arms around Sephiroth's neck and leaned on his shoulders.
"...how to get down?"
She had a bad premonition in her heart.
"Jump down, I'll take a step first~"
The equally excited black-haired boy eagerly walked to the side of the ramp, waved at Esther, and jumped down happily after yelling.
Fuck! Fuck! ?
Help!
The author has something to say: Well... the interview went smoothly [Hello] so I started working... As for the work experience... [touch chin] I don’t seem to have done anything, but why do I feel tired after returning home? [Hey] I just want to lie down and sleep after I go home = L = I have always been bad […] The work and rest time is corrected almost immediately without deliberately changing it [T0T]
Grandpa's knee pillow goal achieved【(?﹃?)】Finally, the meme of survival in the wild is over, thanks to the planet!
For Esther, who has experienced the most exciting thing is the explosion of the Shinra Building... such a 'bungee jumping' without safety measures [? ] It's really exciting... Although Sephiroth is holding her, the physical fear is not so easy to disappear.
Next, I would like to thank the girl for her cannon!

I'm going to an interview tomorrow... I'm a little nervous [cover my face], meh girls, Kuaiai gave me the courage to love [Hello]
☆、34 after marriage
When Esther opened her eyes the next day, the cave was still the same as when she fell asleep, which made her unable to distinguish the time for a while.The entrance of the cave is still blocked by layers of snow, and the only light source is the still burning fire in front. Looking at the entrance of the cave with the light of the flames, you can also see the shiny reflection of the snow inside the entrance of the cave.
The snow on the inner side seems to have melted due to the temperature, but it has been re-frozen due to the coldness from outside.This looks a bit crystal clear.
"..."
Although the air can still be regarded as fresh, it is inexplicably a little stuffy.Esther took a deep breath, and exhaled a long breath of foul air as if she wanted to exhale the depression in her heart.It took a few times to feel better.
"Sleep well?"
Almost as soon as Esther opened her eyes, the silver-haired man who was being used as a pillow woke up.I didn't speak before because I thought that Esther might continue to sleep again. Later, I felt that Esther's breathing became irregular, so I opened my mouth first.Esther gave a soft 'En', but didn't get up, and leaned lazily on Sephiroth in a daze.
In fact, it is a lie to say that I slept well... No matter how hard it is to sit and sleep in this icy and snowy place, at least now Esther feels that her muscles and bones are aching, as if protesting her mistreatment of them.
But as someone who doesn't contribute much, it seems a bit hypocritical for her to say that... But such a life is really sad... She will never go on such a long journey again!I will cry if I continue.
It feels like these two times didn't get any good at all... Well, considering the rising favor with Sephiroth, it seems that I can't say the same.
In terms of emotions, she still gained a lot.
From a certain point of view, this is also...the emperor pays off?
The corner of Esther's mouth twitched by her brain teasing, couldn't bear to think about it.
But thanks to it, she was completely awake... But even so, she was still reluctant to leave her 'throne', huddled in a thick blanket and leaned against Sephiroth to enjoy his warm body temperature. This place of suffering can really be said to be a kind of enjoyment.
... In contrast, Zacks, who was curled up by himself, looked much more pitiful.Although he also has a cloak to wrap.
Looking at the teenager who seemed to have not woken up on the other side of the fire, Esther inexplicably felt a little guilty. Although she didn't do anything, she always had a feeling of bullying an honest person.
But it was impossible for her to let Sephiroth out.The scene where Sephiroth and Zack cuddle together...can't look straight.
It seemed that Esther's vision was too subtle. The black-haired boy who was curled up at the side moved and got up from the ground.
"Why is it dark again?"
Zack rubbed his eyes and muttered rather dissatisfied.Although his voice was not loud, it was quite obvious in this quiet space where only the sound of burning firewood could be heard.At least the two other than him heard it.
"..." No matter how you think about it, it's impossible.
This time the snowstorm was stronger than the previous two days, and it didn't seem to show signs of weakening until noon.But there are only signs of this, and it doesn't stop... Maybe they will be trapped here all day.Although there is no shortage of food and drink, the feeling of being aggrieved will not be weakened in the slightest.
Like a howling wind mixed with snow and ice particles, it raged outside the cave, covering the traces they left yesterday, and also obscuring the direction of progress.There is no sun, no stars.The trees are all thin and dry... There are almost no markers to judge the direction.
Esther was very worried, but Zacks, who had already woken up, seemed quite excited, as if he was eager to go out and hone his skills.In addition to his own excitement, he also kept encouraging Sephiroth, trying to let him challenge adversity with him.
The silver-haired man didn't have any special intentions about this. He was not afraid of the raging wind and snow outside, and he didn't mind staying in the cave with Esther.
But it's also interesting to see Zack bouncing around with such anticipation.
But just staying in the cave like this is really boring.Esther regretted it again - she would have known better if she had put a deck of playing cards in the suitcase.Three people playing cards is also better than sitting around doing nothing.Sitting for a long time can also be uncomfortable.
Thinking of this, Esther shrank back and lay on Sephiroth's lap.After all, it was daytime, although it was still very cold and did not have the biting coldness of night.Therefore, even if there is a gap between the blanket and the body, it can still be tolerated.Seeing that Esther changed her posture, Sephiroth pulled the blanket over her back towards her, and specially relaxed her body, trying to make her more comfortable.
Couldn't have been more considerate.
Zack expressed envy and hatred for this.Of course it wasn't that he wanted to lie on Sephiroth's lap, but he was jealous that Esther could make that Sephiroth so...active without saying anything.
You have to know that he is so familiar with Sephiroth [self-confessed], if you want to compete with him, you have to find someone all over the world, and you have to see if he is free... and you have to be beaten to a half when you are competing.
It's as if now, his mouth is dry after talking for a long time, it's not as effective as Esther's action... Judging from this situation, Sephiroth will definitely not accompany him out to practice.
It is simply a tragedy in which the beholder weeps and smells the sadness.
Esther rubbed the man under her contentedly, then fell asleep again at some point.
The wheat-blonde long-haired girl lay on Sephiroth's lap with her eyes closed, her peaceful sleeping face looked younger than usual, and there was a hint of childishness in her frowning and other inadvertent small movements.Probably only then did she look like a teenage girl.Her usual mature and serious attire made her look several years older than she actually was. Although she looked stable and reliable, she lacked the vigor of a girl.
If you really count, she is actually not a few years older than Zacks.
It should be said that neither she nor Sephiroth is actually much older than Zacks.It's just because of their daily demeanor that they seem so mature that people ignore their actual age.They are both in their prime of life, but they shoulder heavier responsibilities and work than most 'adults'... From this point of view, they are actually worthy of being a couple.
Although saddened by Sephiroth's neglect, Zack regained his spirit after a while, squatting next to Sephiroth with great interest and whispering to him.It doesn't matter what the topic is, it's just chatting all over the world.There are the usual embarrassing things, the gossip among colleagues, and some questions and confusions during the battle.
Sephiroth was not a man of words, but he listened carefully.Seeing his serious expression, Zacks was also full of energy when he said it.
Until finally being scolded by the tireless Esther to squat in the corner.
She is not a dead person, and of course Barabala will be heard when someone is always in her ear—even if Sephiroth covers her ears with his hands, he will still hear the voice that accidentally became louder when he said that he was getting up.Especially he said that in the end, it was almost always on the rise.
But this way, she couldn't fall asleep.
I wasn't too sleepy before, but now I'm more energetic...so I feel that I have nothing to do.For a restless person like her, this was a real disaster.
The wind and snow that hindered their movement continued until the evening before it gradually stopped.Although it was not conducive to action at night, the three chose to leave in order not to be trapped here again.
Esther put on all the clothes she could wear without hindering her movement. It was so cold at night in the cave with the fire, let alone outside.In fact, she was a little scared...but in order not to be trapped in the cave like a trapped beast, she overcame her fear of the cold and resolutely chose to set off immediately.
I would rather freeze to death than suffocate to death!
After everything was ready, the three of them set foot on the way to the Ice and Snow Village in the dusk without the setting sun.This walk lasted for several hours. In order to save energy and maintain body temperature, the three of them hardly spoke a word along the way.It wasn't until midnight that Esther was too tired to walk anymore, so she found a temporary place to rest the same as the previous two days.
On the third day of this stop and go, they finally saw the human village from a distance—although they only saw something like a roof, Esther almost cried with joy.
The icy and snowy environment suddenly looks very beautiful, but it is easy to get snow blindness if you look at it for a long time.Apart from the cold and exhaustion, this is Esther's biggest enemy - she has felt that her eyes are uncomfortable several times, and she has been afraid to say it out of fear of affecting her journey.
I just secretly closed my eyes to relieve it.That's why I almost fell down a few times on the road.
And now, such painful days will soon be over!The wheat-blonde long-haired girl almost wanted to jump up to express her joy, but in the end she suppressed the childish jump with reason - Sephiroth has been useless to confirm that it is the Ice and Snow Village, so she is a little worried.
What if it wasn't the Ice and Snow Village, and she was relieved...it would definitely be a nightmare for her who finally saw hope.
So she didn't dare to ask, because she was afraid that the answer she got would irritate herself.
After walking forward for a while, they came to the edge of a long slope. This slope from top to bottom looks quite steep, and it is a white flower that seems to have no end in sight.
But if you want to continue to move in this direction, this slope is the only way to go.
"After passing this slope, we can reach the Ice and Snow Village today."
Sephiroth patted Esther's head, comforting her in a gentle voice.
"...Be patient a little longer, Esther." As he said that, the silver-haired man turned around and reached out to hug Esther, "Hold me, and I will take you down."
Get down! ?
Esther was stunned, and reflexively put her arms around Sephiroth's neck and leaned on his shoulders.
"...how to get down?"
She had a bad premonition in her heart.
"Jump down, I'll take a step first~"
The equally excited black-haired boy eagerly walked to the side of the ramp, waved at Esther, and jumped down happily after yelling.
Fuck! Fuck! ?
Help!
The author has something to say: Well... the interview went smoothly [Hello] so I started working... As for the work experience... [touch chin] I don’t seem to have done anything, but why do I feel tired after returning home? [Hey] I just want to lie down and sleep after I go home = L = I have always been bad […] The work and rest time is corrected almost immediately without deliberately changing it [T0T]
Grandpa's knee pillow goal achieved【(?﹃?)】Finally, the meme of survival in the wild is over, thanks to the planet!
For Esther, who has experienced the most exciting thing is the explosion of the Shinra Building... such a 'bungee jumping' without safety measures [? ] It's really exciting... Although Sephiroth is holding her, the physical fear is not so easy to disappear.
Next, I would like to thank the girl for her cannon!
