[FF7] Those things after marriage

Zack woke up to an eerie tune.It's clearly a male's rough and clear voice, but it's humming soothing music like a lullaby... The most important thing is that it's almost out of tune.

...It's like a magic sound piercing through the brain.

In this case, it's hard not to wake up.

The black-haired boy opened his eyes, and it took him a while to recover.What caught the eye was the rough wooden roof, and with his good eyesight he could still see the uncleaned branches and twigs that were cut out of the wood on the roof.

Wait where is he! ?

He only remembered that he ran to the street after waking up yesterday, and then he seemed to have entered a tavern... Then he seemed to be drunk?

Wait, drunk?So where is he now! ?

Zack jerked off the covers and sat up, only then began to observe where he was now.

This is a very simple bedroom. There is a large cabinet to the left of the bed, which seems to be a wardrobe.On the right front of the bed is a log-colored desk, and in front of the desk is a chair of the same color.Then there is the small window on the wall on the right. The window is really small, only about the height of his head... But it seems that the windows of the whole house in the ice and snow village are very small. Is it to keep out the cold?

"Oh, are you awake? Do you feel better... Ah, I didn't know you can't drink." A 40-year-old man with a short cut came in with a glass, and saw the black-haired boy on the bed staring at him intently. I couldn't help scratching my cheek with my empty hand, "Drink some hot tea, it will probably make you feel better."

"……thanks."

Zacks did not refuse the other party's kindness, took the cup handed over by the other party, looked at the light green tea in the cup, and then raised it to his mouth.

"I still have to come here at this time. The current special forces are really working hard."

The brown-red man with the cropped hair pulled over the chair and sat on the edge of the bed, with a sigh on his face.However, his casual exclamation made Zack almost spit out the tea in his mouth.

"Pfft...cough cough cough."

The black-haired boy coughed violently again, and asked while coughing:

"... Uncle, how do you know that I am a special soldier?"

He didn't tell the uncle from the beginning to the end... The identity documents are still in his pocket.

"Tsk tsk, anyway, I am also the person in charge of Shinra's contact point stationed in Ice Snow Village. The equipment of the special forces is still recognizable at a glance... Although it is not the same as when I was in the Shinra Building, this style is still the same. It really hasn't changed for decades..."

"Ehhh? You're the person in charge here!?"

Zack looked at the man in front of him with a stubble circle around his chin in shock, looking a bit unkempt.The management he came into contact with were all elites in suits and leather shoes. Even Esther was neatly dressed and her hair was neatly combed without a single mess.

"Hey, don't look at me like that." Sensing Zacks' disgusted eyes, the middle-aged man called out again.

"I was also an elite in suits and leather shoes, but I have been dispatched here for more than ten years. It's snowing tomorrow, so I don't care about my face."

As he talked, the middle-aged man seemed to have finally found someone to confide in, and he began to talk blah blah blah.

"Besides, why doesn't Shinra have so much money to make the uniforms look better? There are no uniforms at all in northern contact points like us. People rely on clothes and horses. Now even if you tell people that you are in Shinra People who work in the company don't believe it. They receive such a dead salary every month, no subsidies and no bonuses... Now Sephiroth is still a bit attractive to young people, otherwise, why would anyone want to work for Shinra Company? !"

Although as a special soldier, he should say good things to Shinra, but when he really thought about it, he found that he really didn't know what to refute.Sephiroth's words are indeed very attractive...

and many more.

Speaking of Sephiroth...

"Oops I forgot to contact Sephiroth!" Zack jerked out of bed, "How long have I been asleep? What time is it?"

"...you slept all night, it's 08:30 in the morning, wait, did you just mention Sephiroth?" The tall man followed Zacks out of the bedroom, "What did you say Is that Sephiroth? Why, has he also come to Ice and Snow Village?"

"That's right, it's that Sephiroth, uncle, you said it, don't you know him too?"

Zack stopped and looked at the man beside him who seemed to be much stronger than him.

Seeing Zack's slightly suspicious eyes, the man reached out and patted him on the shoulder.

"Anyway, I'm the person in charge here. I've met Sephiroth a few times when he was on a mission." Although there is not much overlap, how could the target be that hero?

"That's great!" Zack put his hands on the man's shoulders, "I'm really saved... Wait, uncle, please explain to Sephiroth why I didn't return all night!"

"Forehead……"

Facing the boy's bright begging eyes, Nick couldn't help feeling that he was suddenly under heavy pressure.

***

The middle-aged man named Nick finally returned to the hotel with Zacks and helped him explain what happened last night.Although Esther's face was still not very good-looking, she didn't do anything to Zack in front of Nick.

But the account that made her worry for a long time still has to be written down, and we can settle it after we go back.

However, Esther has passed this level, and there is also Sephiroth's level-this man who has always been a man of few words will naturally not reprimand him, his method is simpler and clearer than words...just go out to 'discuss' The plate is fine.But this is after the communication problem is solved.

However, even if the person in charge of Ice and Snow Village is found, the communication interruption caused by the weather cannot be solved immediately.According to Nick's prediction, this situation will probably last for two or three days... If they want to send a message, they have to wait until the sky clears up, and then they go outside to fiddle with the line.

So no matter what, don't think about it these two days.

They'd better settle down and take a look at the customs of Ice and Snow Village.

After reaching this conclusion, the three of them are not in a hurry... Even if they are in a hurry, it is useless, if the news cannot get out, everything is useless.

Then... Sephiroth took Zack and went out to discuss.Leaving Nick and Esther sitting at the table staring.

"Miss Grant...is a civil servant?"

It's not a problem to always look at each other face to face, and Nick opened the topic first.

"Yes, I work in the administration department."

Esther's answer was quite satisfactory. She is not very talkative, and she only talks a lot in front of acquaintances.Most of the time I usually play the role of listening to others.

"Oh...Administrative Department, that kid Wadsworth's department? Oh, it's been so many years..." When referring to his former colleagues, his tone became less reserved, "Is he all right?"

"...He's very good." How could it be bad to be lazy and pick up girls and skip work all day long.

To think of him and to think back to the workload he would have faced back home...was a nightmare.

"That's good..." Nick murmured in a low voice, his expression had a hint of sadness for a moment... But the expression disappeared so quickly that Esther thought it was just her eyes that were dazzled.

"What did you just say?" Esther felt that she seemed to hear the other person's voice, but she couldn't hear what he said, so she had to ask again.

"I said you have worked hard. I heard people say that he seems to be unreliable in the past few years... But why did he send you to such a difficult place in the northern ice field this time? Did you suffer a lot during this season?"

"It's quite difficult." Esther smiled bitterly, she really couldn't say 'it's okay' against her conscience, and she really felt sorry for the hardships she suffered a few days ago.But she couldn't tell her to complain to this stranger, so she could only answer vaguely. "By the way, where is Shinra's reference room in Ice Snow Village? The head office sent me here this time for these materials."

"For information?"

Nick's tone was a little surprised: "Why did you suddenly think of asking for information?"

Seeing Nick's surprised look, Esther was also a little surprised: "Don't you know that something happened to Shinra last year?"

"I know, I know, but isn't it an explosion and an enemy attack? Why is it related to the data?" Nick scratched his head, as if he hadn't reacted yet.

Shinra is the dominant company, and it has always been a thorn in the side of many people, so explosions and attacks are not uncommon, so Nick didn't pay much attention when he heard about it—anyway, his salary has been paid all the time. It proves that Shinra has not had a major incident.

"The explosion was too close to the data room, and many of the materials were irreparable...so the company sent us to various branches to sort out the materials and bring them back." This is not a secret operation, so it doesn't matter if you talk about it.After all, there are so many branches to go to, such news can't be hidden even if they want to hide it.

"It's really busy."

Shinra Corporation is a large company in the world, and the data is tens of thousands... This is really hard for these civil servants.

"Well, although there was an accident this time, I still want to start work before contacting the head office... It's better to have something to do than to be idle."

Esther nodded to Nick who was opposite.

There seemed to be nowhere else to go in the village but go to the tavern, and it was impossible for her to just stay in her room and sleep for three days—she had to find something to do for herself.Although Ice and Snow Village is not her first mission location, it shouldn't be a problem for her to make temporary adjustments when the situation changes.

"Since Miss Grant has said so, let's do this. I'll take you to the reference room tomorrow, but it's cold there, and Miss Grant had better be prepared." The reference room in Ice Snow Village...hasn't been there for a few years. After moving, he should take the new kid to clean up first in the afternoon.

"thank you very much!"

The author has something to say: finally got out!Go to sleep! T0T going to work tomorrow... I really don't want to go to work_(:з」∠)_

It is said that I failed super today, thinking that I haven’t read comics for a few days, read comics for a while and then started to code, but I fell into a big hole=. =... I don't want to talk about the time as soon as I see it [Hey] The most deceitful thing is that when I struggled to see the ending... the ending made me black blood.I really want to snarl out of morality: I have all my pants off and you let me see this! ? 【Hello】

In the end, the hero and heroine set foot on their own paths and wait for the future to meet again! ?After 5 years of making it, it's just that the male protagonist set off fireworks for the female protagonist to cheer him up, but he didn't see any mentality! [Hey] A mouthful of old blood...

Well, see you in the message!

_(:з」∠)_May be a little late to reply to the message recently... OTZ sorry
