[FF7] Those things after marriage

In the end, the dining table and tablecloth that Esther had chosen were sold to them at a price that was almost half-off and half-off.

This is a super low discount that Esther has not been able to get after buying things here a dozen times.

Facing this result, Esther didn't know what expression she should use to face it.

But through this incident, she once again realized Sephiroth's influence in this city.

He is not only a celebrity, but also the object of many people's longing, and it can even be said that he is the concrete embodiment of many people's dreams.

That's why he is so popular among men and women.

But speaking of heroes...

Thinking of the current situation, Esther doesn't think hero is a compliment at all.

In order to maintain its superhuman status after suffering such a blow, and to replenish the lost manpower as soon as possible, Shinra has stepped up the promotion of heroes, hoping to use the appeal of heroes to complete this series. action.

Although she had some complaints about this plan, it was a joint decision of the few remaining leaders... She could only have some complaints.

...What is Sephiroth, the person involved, thinking?

Esther secretly glanced at the man beside her.

This person... always seems to have such a tepid look.This is the case with his admirers, and it is also the same with Shinra's use of him as a promotional material. He can neither see happiness nor disgust.

So in fact, it was a bit too sudden, and they got married like this without knowing anything about it.

"Esther, what's wrong?"

Seeing Esther in a daze, Sephiroth couldn't help calling her name softly.

"Ah... sorry, I was in a daze accidentally." Esther rubbed her temples, glanced at the shopkeeper who was putting the dining table and matching chairs on the train, and then turned her head to look at Sephiroth, who was beside her, talking At the same time, he was about to reach for the wallet in his pocket, "How much did you spend in total? I still..."

"Let me live together, our home." The silver-haired man reached out to stop Esther's movement, and smiled slightly, "So let me contribute to this home too."

"Ah, um...then it's hard work on your wallet." Esther smiled, "...no, probably your arm, we have to carry it into the house together."

Because it was a temporary idea, I haven't packed it yet... Even if I get help to carry it into the house, it can only be placed at the door.

With no other purpose, the two simply went back together in the store's delivery truck. After returning, Esther saw the superhuman arm strength of the special forces for the first time.

The solid wood dining table can be raised with one hand!She just wanted to say that she lifted Sephiroth on one side and lifted the other side, and the two of them worked hard together!

Holding a dining table that can seat 6 people in one hand, and two chairs in the other, the silver-haired man put the dining table in the position designated by Esther without any difficulty, and then he tied the table with Esther and lifted it with both hands very naturally. The chair was placed next to the table.

… Seeing this, Esther simply turned around and went to get the rag and the tablecloth that came with it.

Sure enough, this kind of physical work should be left to men, hahahaha...

The sister paper with only five fighting strength retreated silently.

Wipe the newly purchased dining table and chairs inside and out, and then put the tablecloth on, and the work on the dining table is over.

Wiping off her sweat, Esther was quite satisfied with the results of her work while standing at the dining table... Then she realized at this time that she was patronizing the dining table and completely forgot about dinner.

"..."

It didn't matter that she didn't eat, the point was that Sephiroth, who lived under the same roof as her... probably was hungry too.

Esther suddenly felt that she was really sinful, and she made her go hungry even though she did her best.

==|||I was wrong! ! !

Esther hurriedly opened the door and walked into the living room—when she was busy wiping the table just now, she seemed to drive Sephiroth to the living room to watch TV very casually...

In the end, the dining table they bought today didn't come in handy, and the two settled for dinner in the restaurant outside just like yesterday.

Then on the way back, Esther couldn't help but feel helpless about who they were working hard for today.

...Of course she doesn't regret making this decision.

After returning, the two of them sat together... watching TV.

But there are only so many news to watch at this time.

Either it's news about Shinra, or it's news about what regulations have been issued by the government that has nothing to do with it.

"Every day is full of these contents, can't there be something entertaining?" Esther complained dissatisfiedly, "It's enough to work for Shinra during the day, I don't want to be full of Shinra at night—before When I was in the village, I could..."

"What else?"

"You can still play games with children of similar age or listen to stories told by old people." Esther scratched her hair, "But I hardly went out to play before I came to Midgar... most of the time It was all the boys playing hero games and stuff, and the kids sometimes even fought over who was the 'hero'."

"It's a nightmare for a bunch of teenage boys to have a fight."

Thinking of the previous scene, Esther's face was still covered with blood.

"Then... What kind of stories do old people tell? Loveless?"

"This one has... and some stories about the life that used to dominate this planet, but the latter always ends in tragedy."

"tragedy?"

"Well... almost all of them died in order to protect the planet against the invaders from the universe... something." The girl with long blonde hair held a water glass and looked out the window. I hate all the stars, and I always feel that there is something in one of them that will destroy us."

Esther withdrew her gaze from the window and turned her head to look at Sephiroth beside her: "Looking at it now, the idea back then was really stupid."

"Not like that." The silver-haired man shook his head, and said to Esther quite seriously, "I think this idea...is very fresh."

Because he never thought about it.

"Pfft... It's just a little girl's unfounded worry, so it's nothing new." Esther didn't expect Sephiroth's reaction to be so...cute.

"But if I put it this way, it seems that my current thinking should be called 'stale'-rather than worrying about things that don't touch the trace, I now just want to work less the next day than the previous day... …It’s really annoying for one person to do the work of several people without getting a raise.”

"Special soldiers also have special allowances, and we ordinary employees sometimes don't even have overtime pay—it's called compulsory overtime, your sister is obliged to work overtime! They're all a bunch of vampires!"

Thinking of the sad experience since work, Esther couldn't help complaining.

From the head of the personnel department who always looks at people with his nostrils, to the head of the finance department who is in a hurry to do everything except pay the salary, and his former pervert colleagues and so on.Rambling on and on.

When she came back to her senses, there was already snowflakes on the TV—the broadcast time of the TV program had ended.

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry!" Esther hurriedly apologized to the silver-haired hero who she used as a bucket of bitterness, "I accidentally used you as a bucket of bitterness."

"Bitter bucket?"

This is another quite new vocabulary for Sephiroth.

"It's a way of saying that the object of complaint..."

In fact, she didn't want to say so much, but the other party's attitude of listening attentively was too hooked, and as a result, she couldn't stop her opening.

"It's okay...and from your words, I seem to see a... Shenra that is different from what I know." These are all things he has never seen before. "I... feel like I missed a lot of things."

"Because the position is different." Esther shrugged, "It's as if I, as a clerk, will never go to the battlefield for the rest of my life, and I don't have to face the situation of life and death... But this situation is very important to you as a special soldier. It should be commonplace, right?"

Seeing Sephiroth nodded, Esther continued.

"So what we see will be different...Although I often complain that the special forces have special allowances for missions and extra subsidies, and we can only do white jobs, but if I want to change it, I would rather squat in God's office." Luo Building is honestly doing white work."

"Shinra won't let civil servants go to the battlefield either."

"makes sense."

Esther stood up and stretched a lot.

"Then, I'm going to take a shower first - don't you mind ladies first?"

Sephiroth responded with a slight smile:

"Please feel free."

The next day, the two separated in front of the elevator just like the day before. Esther rubbed her neck and walked out of the elevator, walking towards the meeting room at the end of the corridor.

——She almost forgot about the meeting today, and almost overslept.

When she opened the door and walked into the conference room, almost everyone had already arrived.

Marketing Department, Finance Department, Technology Department, Personnel Department... One-third of the people present were strangers.But there are also familiar and disgusting faces, such as her boss who is always fooling around and makes you wonder what he is thinking.

"Ah~ Esther, you came late enough, even Lazard, who was wounded, came earlier than you."

Seeing her approaching, the red-haired man smiled and said, "Could it be that the newlyweds are too happy? Oh, you have to learn how to control yourself."

"Before you talk about me, wipe off the lipstick on your collar." Esther simply patted the folder to be handed over to his face. Unfortunately, her sudden attack It didn't work.

When the president and vice president were away, the person in charge of Taxes temporarily took their place and presided over the meeting.

"Before the meeting starts, I would like to introduce our new colleagues to you." Following his words, a woman who looked 26 or seven years old stood up and nodded slightly to the people present.

"Hedda Heyman, who will succeed Dr. Hojo, who unfortunately passed away, will become the head of the R&D department of the newcomer. It is a pleasure to work with you."
