In fact, it was not the 'housekeeper' Esther who was worried about everything about the arrival of the Grants, but Sephiroth, who didn't seem to have changed at all.It's not that he hates them, on the contrary, he values ​​the concept of 'kin' more than many people.

but……

For a person who has no father or mother and has been receiving special forces training since he was almost conscious, 'parents' is a very strange existence to him.Although Grant and his wife are not his biological parents but 'father-in-law and mother-in-law', according to the news from Lance, for a son-in-law like him whose parents have both died, father-in-law and mother-in-law are no different from his biological parents—anyway He also has no other elders who need to be filial.

'Filial piety' is another strange and tricky word for him.In fact, even 'elder' is an unfamiliar word.After all, before he got married, age only meant qualifications and experience to him.

Even if a veteran soldier doesn't look as strong as a young man, his rich experience will make him much more difficult to deal with than a young man.

It was the first time for him to face elders like the Grants.In order to prevent himself from unconsciously making any inappropriate actions, Sephiroth has been very cautious during this time.Basically, it can be said that it is an instruction and an action.Especially when facing Esther's three younger siblings.If Esther didn't allow him to play with them, then he wouldn't do anything.

He doesn't have as much experience with kids as Zack does, knows a lot of the game.Therefore, although I have a fondness for the three children who resemble Esther, but I don't know how to get close to the children, so I have to keep the current distance.

Of course, these "hero's little troubles" Esther is unclear.Although she could somewhat sense Sephiroth's restraint and fleeting desire.But she also doesn't have any great ideas for breaking the current impasse.A few times when she wanted to say something, he acted like nothing happened.She couldn't say what she originally wanted to say.

Sephiroth... If he hadn't thought about it, even if you noticed something, he would still act as if nothing had happened.It makes you feel that the previous feeling was just your own illusion, or that you can't speak out for her now.

Although their current identities should be 'the closest people to each other in this world'.But there is obviously still...a distance between the two of them.Even standing face to face, it is not easy to reach out and touch.

They were a couple that really failed.

After being promoted, she also came into contact with some secrets of Shinra Company.Although she didn't know what Sephiroth had experienced in the past, she understood that it wasn't 'the future will be good', 'the past has passed'... such vague words can be calmed down.

This man is burdened with much more than people imagined.

The title of 'hero' may be much heavier than she imagined.

Winter is coming and spring is coming, although the city of Midgar doesn't have any "breath of spring", and there is almost no scene of the recovery of the earth, but the warming temperature tells the people here that spring is coming.

As the days grow longer and the temperature rises, people are gradually leaving their homes.The streets that were empty in winter became lively again.Before Esther noticed, her parents were mingling with the older neighbors around them.If she didn't know that her parents came to Midgar for the first time this year, she would have thought that they and the people around them were old neighbors for many years.

...You guys are amazing.

Esther's mouth twitched as she watched her mother, who was discussing which cleaner was better with her aunt who lived nearby, and her father, who was showing off his carpentry work.

But she also breathed a sigh of relief, it's good to have someone to chat with, at least the two of them won't be lonely and bored when she's at work.

It's just... Do you want to tell me about my childhood? Hey!Things like pulling off the neighbor's kid's pants are simply a black history that cannot be recalled.

Relieved, Esther began to worry about how to face those gossiping colleagues in the future—this is the living area of ​​Shinra Company, you tell me, I tell you... as long as it is something that is said, Just don't expect to keep it a secret.It is already thankful that the whole company that does not pass it on knows.

Every Monday morning is Shinra's regular meeting time.Although there are meetings almost every day, no matter which meeting there is, there will be no such meeting.

Due to the absence of the unscrupulous boss, Esther had to deal with it with 12 points of energy-she didn't want to be fired by the president because of a momentary negligence.

After Lufus became the president, he carried out the second reorganization of Shinra Corporation since the explosion.A lot of people who had vegetarian meals and deserted during working hours were fired.It also included some old subordinates when his father was in power, and they were criticized several times in the meeting, and they didn't save any face for those uncles.In this regard, almost no one is capable of competing for the position of vice president and who has a say in the position of vice president. The few left here and there are almost emptied of positions, so they can only honestly keep their tails between their legs. be human.

Although generally speaking, this matter has nothing to do with these little shrimps, but the above is like this, and they had better be honest, so as not to be caught in the wrong place.

But this time the president didn't seem to plan to trouble anyone.The meeting came to an end peacefully after the reports from all departments were completed.

Esther let out a long sigh of relief, and walked out behind the person in front.

"How are you and yours doing? I heard that your parents are here. Did you make things difficult for your son-in-law?"

An arm was abruptly wrapped around Esther's neck, and the blue-haired woman leaned against Esther's head affectionately, teasing in a low voice.

"Very good." Esther tugged at the other's hand that was holding her neck, and seeing that she couldn't get the other to let go, she let her go. "My parents... Do you think you can imagine who would make things difficult for Sephiroth?" Anyway, she couldn't imagine it.

"Uh... also." Belia shuddered from the shock of her brain power.

After all, the other party is that Sephiroth, and there is no way to connect with an ordinary 'son-in-law'.

"But speaking of it, don't you think this is too indifferent between you?" Belia let go of Esther's neck.Although the other party is that Sephiroth, it seems strange to do nothing like this. "If I didn't know that you and Sephiroth were married, I would have thought that you were still not lovers above friendship."

"Isn't it right for a family to be close?"

Belia's words startled Esther.

This was the first time anyone other than Lance had mentioned to her what they thought of the two of them.She has never been in a relationship before, and it is the first time to get married, so she doesn't know what lovers or couples are going to do.As far as she is concerned, although it seems that there is still a gap between Sephiroth and Sephiroth, the current way of getting along is enough.

Sure enough, there is still something missing between them?

"Don't worry, don't worry." Seeing her friend's confused expression, Belia patted her on the shoulder boldly to bring her back to her senses, "I have 36 love strategies, and I will teach them to you when I have time." Professor, I'll keep you handy~"

"If you have time to care about other people's private affairs, why don't you worry about yourself first." The male voice with yin and yang eccentricity interrupted their conversation abruptly.

Esther turned her head and found that a certain 1st special soldier in a pink leather jacket was leaning against the wall and looking at them. Her half-length hair blocked her view, making her unable to see his expression clearly.But judging from the sentence just now, his expression at this time must not be sunny.

"It's none of your business." Belia pushed back bluntly.She is not a member of the Special Forces fan group, so she responded quite strongly. While talking, she dragged Esther forward a few steps quickly and turned the corner.

"It's weird, why has this guy been getting more and more yin and yang recently. Men don't know how to come to my aunt. What's wrong with me these past few months?"

The blue-haired woman muttered dissatisfiedly that she and Genesis had a bit of a bad relationship—when Genesis came to participate in the selection of Shinra Special Forces, it was the first time she participated in the interview with the boss. We have exchanged a few words, so compared to the general staff, they can certainly be said to be familiar.

But recently, the other party's weird look made her too lazy to answer.

"Recently...is he always like this?"

Esther remembered the situation when she met Genesis earlier, so she couldn't help asking one more question.

"It's about the same. There were a few times when he seemed crazy... Angel didn't take good care of him." Belia shrugged, but she didn't take this matter to heart. "Let's just treat him as late puberty, and he should be fine after this period of time?"

"..." Seeing that Belia didn't intend to discuss further, Esther didn't ask any more questions. She was more worried about her friend than Genesis.

"After your minister was dismissed... are you okay?"

The head of personnel was removed - for abusing his personal power to recruit unqualified employees.With such a big hat on, those of them who participated in the interview at the beginning also became the fish in the pond that was hit by the fire.Some of the interviewers have already been called to review.

"It was the boss's cronies who were called in for the review, and a small shrimp like me can't afford to spend a lot of time on the top." The person involved looked relaxed, "The big deal is to go back to my hometown to eat myself, and my current savings are still enough for me to live in my hometown." Two years of easy living."

"Hey, if it doesn't work, let your great husband give me some good words. The words of the number one hero on the planet have some weight, right?"

"...You are beautiful!" Esther curled her lips, but she began to consider the possibility of this method in her heart.For so many years in Shinra, Belia is the only person she can say is a close friend.Now that her best friend is in trouble, she has to find a way to help her.

... I don't know what happened to Shinra Corporation recently, and various disasters continue.It seems that even people have become strange.

Esther rubbed her temples irritably, forcing herself to suppress all kinds of wild thoughts, said goodbye to Belia and walked into her office.

She still has a lot of work to do, and she has no time to think about these things.
