The arrival of her family made Esther very happy and quite distressed.

She misses her family members whom she hasn't seen for four years, but being alone...no, living with Sephiroth and getting used to a free little life where no one cares about others and then suddenly returning to a big family life with the old and the young makes her feel really sad Some are not used to it.

You can no longer pile up your clothes and wait until you have time to wash them in one breath. After taking a shower, you must wipe the bathroom clean.Every day as long as she is at home, she has to be taken to the kitchen for special cooking training.

And those three little ones who are simply exhausting...the house couldn't be more lively with them.But in general, there is more happiness than distress.

Well...relatively speaking.

But not everyone is as sweet as Esther even when she has troubles.Most annoyances are painful and irritating.

"Well!"

Facing the sudden impact, Esther couldn't help but groaned.It wasn't until she was hit that she noticed the brown-haired man who suddenly walked out from the corner and hit her and strode away without noticing.Under the pale light of the corridor, the iconic pink leather jacket is somewhat dazzling and exaggerated.

The special forces are so strong!

Esther couldn't help but glared at Genesis who had already walked to the other side of the corridor.Then he rubbed his shoulder that was aching from the collision. Are the special soldiers' bodies made of metal?so hard.

"Hey, Esther, do you think Genesis has reached menopause? He's been so anxious and absent-minded lately." Another 'victim' also leaned over, rubbing his arms.While walking, he muttered dissatisfiedly. "I don't know what I'm thinking because I'm so yin and yang."

Although he is also a 1st special soldier, he is not as prestigious as Sephiroth. There are people who like him and admire him, but there are also many people who don't like him.It's not uncommon to mutter about him behind his back.

"God knows." Although she was very dissatisfied with his attitude, Esther didn't like the behavior of talking ill of people behind their backs.So she chose a meaningless exclamation to respond to the other party.

Well, saying that her unscrupulous boss doesn't count.Because that's not a bad word but a fact.

Although what happened in the morning made people unhappy, Esther didn't take it to heart. She had many more important things than idly thinking about it, such as the almost endless documents on the table.

Gee.

Work and work, and after get off work, I have to buy things my mother ordered.

Thinking of her mother, Esther couldn't help but think of Sephiroth who stayed at home—hoping he could handle the three little devils and her father who often wandered to strange places.

Once the thinking diverged, the speed of the work at hand also slowed down.Before she could adjust back to work, someone knocked on the door of her office.

Strange, who could it be so early?

Although a bit strange, she still raised her voice to greet the visitor:

"Please come in."

The door opened from the outside, and a red-haired girl poked her head around the door before stepping in.

"That, that." The 20-year-old girl seemed a little nervous, hesitated for a while, and then suddenly handed a card in her hand to Esther. "This is an invitation to my wedding with Caton, please be sure to attend."

"...If, if Mr. Sephiroth can come, it would be an honor!"

After finishing speaking, the young woman lowered her head, looking like a prisoner waiting for the final judgment.

I usually... am I this scary?

Seeing the other party's appearance, Esther couldn't help but reflect.But speaking of which, who is she?Because of the previous disaster, many newcomers came to the administrative department. Although they almost all recognize their faces, but because they rarely meet each other, she really can't remember the names of many newcomers at once.

It seems to be called So...

Esther's eyes glanced at the invitation in front of her without any trace.

"Congratulations, Sophie. We'd definitely go together if we both had time."

It's true, it's always nice to have someone around you who is happy.

Not a while after Sophie left, someone knocked on the door of Esther's office.

Strange, why is it so lively today?

While responding to the knock on the door, Esther couldn't help being a little strange.In order to maintain the 'prestige of the supervisor', she usually looks strict and serious. Although the people under her are not afraid of her, they are not very close to her, and they will not easily come to her when there is nothing to do.Therefore, except when some unscrupulous boss comes to harass and has something to do, her place is quite clean.

"Please come in."

Although a little puzzled, Esther still raised her voice to respond to the knocker.

"Esther, Jason is getting married, what do you want me to give him?" The black-haired boy with a loud voice shouted impatiently before he could walk in front of her.

Jason... Isn't that the man's name on the invitation just now?It turned out to be a colleague?This is a bit strange.

Although there are many employees in Shinra, there are not many married couples, and almost all of the few couples are researchers... The reason for this situation is unclear, but this situation has changed since the development of Shinra. There has been.It can also be regarded as an unsolved mystery of Shinra Corporation.

By the way, Shinra's unsolved mysteries also include delicate issues such as Sephiroth's life experience, Dr. Hojo's education, and the age of the president.

But when it comes to Sephiroth... people (most women) basically think that he just needs to be handsome and powerful.Therefore, although they are very curious, few people go to the bottom of it.

...Actually, she is also quite curious, but she still hopes that Sephiroth will tell her about this kind of question.

"For men... usually they should send weapons or... wine or something." She didn't know much about men, but if she used her father as a reference, the latter would please him more.

"Hmm..." Zack pondered while shaking his head while hugging his chest.

They all sound like good choices, but the problem is that he's a little cash-strapped lately... Ahem.

After all, it was working hours, and although the topic of the wedding was exciting, it was just a kind of busy happiness. Zacks got the advice and left soon, and Esther put herself into work again.

Because of this episode, she started working almost half an hour later than usual.To get things done as quickly as possible, you have to be more efficient than usual.And being more productive than usual means more work and more strained nerves—a nightmare to think about.

Go to work, work, go to get off work.With no one to disturb, Esther successfully completed the day's work.She stretched her waist to relieve the shoulders that had been stiff all day, and then gathered the documents on the table together and folded them.

Then just send this pile of documents to the seal... no, to her unscrupulous boss, and her job is over.

It's not too late, and I should still be able to catch up to buy things.

Well... Maybe there is still time to go to the candy store and buy some snacks for the three little ones.

Esther picked up the documents and walked out of the office while thinking about the next itinerary.The corridors of the Shinra Building are still so cold and hard. Even if the room is warm, the pale lights and metal passages make people feel a little cold.

Sometimes it even gives people the illusion that they are actually being assimilated by these cold metals and becoming cold and hard.As a junior executive who knows more about the inside story, Esther sighed more deeply.Faced with those death lists, from the beginning it was unacceptable, but later it can be dealt with as part of the work.The time spent in the middle is much shorter than expected.

People's ability to bear has always been stronger than what I imagined.

Esther pushed Lance's office away, and the man with the words "unscrupulous" written all over the cylinder rarely sat in his seat in a serious manner.The slight frown showed that he was in a not-so-good state.

Oops, that's rare.

Esther gasped inwardly.She thought this man would always be so heartless.Although it was a bit gloating, Esther did not say anything to provoke the other party.He just quietly put down the file and prepared to leave as quietly as when she came.It's rare for him to take his work so seriously, let's let this state continue for a while longer.

But she didn't disturb the other party, but it didn't mean that the other party didn't notice her.

"Esther." The red-haired man who hadn't looked up at her suddenly stopped the girl who had already walked to the door.

"what?"

"If Sephiroth did something very cruel, would you forgive him?"

"...As a hero, hasn't he been doing cruel things?" Although he is an enemy, the matter of 'killing' is a cruel thing in itself.

"That's not what I mean, I want to say... Forget it, it's nothing." The red-haired man seemed to want to say something, but he hesitated for a while before giving up the question.

"Speaking of which, have you and Sephiroth developed to that stage? I don't think you have any close contact-do you want me to teach you a few tricks to overthrow him? Between lovers, sometimes it's a kind of fun for the woman to take the initiative -"

"Don't bother you!"

The door of the office was slammed shut.There was a loud sound of leather shoe heels colliding with the metal floor in the corridor.

"Hey, hey... What a childish temper." Lance shook his head helplessly and indulgently.Then he lowered his head again and looked at the report in his hand.The face that was full of jokes just now was full of seriousness again.

After a brief moment of anger, Esther also noticed the other party's abnormality.

Something must have happened.It's just that she doesn't know.

"Cruel things..." Esther whispered softly.

To be honest, she really didn't know how to answer this question.Or, she couldn't imagine this hypothesis becoming a reality.Although in a way, it has always existed.

Killing is not the right thing to do, and it is even more cruel to destroy a family because of killing a person-but when this person is Sephiroth and those special forces she is familiar with, she can't put 'killing' The word murderer' was put upon them.

It doesn't even feel scary at all.

So in fact... she is also a 'cruel person'.

The author has something to say: I'm here to update... Cover your face.

I wanted to wish everyone a merry Christmas, but I kept busy until the New Year.After the new year, my body has been in a very bad state [scratch my face] I wrote it a few times and felt unsatisfied, so I dragged it until the new year... Then it probably didn't update, and I suffered retribution from the big universe.I had a fever, from the second day to the fourth day.Well... Actually, I don't have a fever on the fourth day of junior high school, but because of the previous high fever, I lost all my HP and my limbs are sore and my brain is a mess.Life is in two states of drowsiness and semi-awake_(:з」∠)_ It’s too cruel, I feel like I’m getting older instantly.

My friend said that I seem to be lacking in yang due to lack of exercise or something... Sigh, girls, don't be unlucky like me, hurry up and exercise, go to bed early and wake up early to be healthy! 【Hello】
