A quarter is coming to an end, and it's time for another regular meeting week.Large and small meetings and reports are almost filled with every moment of working time during the week.

Between the department, between departments, between the same position, between the superior and the superior... At this time, the civilian employees are always particularly busy.Especially middle-level cadres like Esther, who can't be absent from any side, can't be absent from any meeting-it is simply a necessary prop for the meeting.

She is busy arguing with people every day, and there is a constant temperature system inside Shinra that makes people regardless of winter and summer, so she didn't notice until one day when she was sweating outside in long sleeves that summer had already arrived unknowingly This steel city.

The summer of the new year is here - in a flash, it has been a year since the explosion.

Time heals wounds and wears away blood, at least for her.

She hardly thinks about what happened a year ago now, and even if she thinks about it again, the sadness and inexplicable anger that she once faced with the pension report and the reconstruction application will never appear on her body again.

She couldn't even remember why she had such a big reaction.

It was clearly only what happened last year, but recalling it now seems like a lifetime away.

... But having said that, her and Sephiroth's life is becoming more and more ordinary now.The tension and sweetness at the beginning seemed to have flown into outer space—could it be that the legendary seven-year itch appeared after only one year of their marriage?

In fact, they don't seem to have had a honeymoon period at the moment...

It's just sad to think about it.

Esther, who was between the girl and the woman, raised her hand to wipe the sweat that was about to drip from her forehead, and quickly walked a few steps into the Shinra Building.The oncoming cool wind blows away the heat from her body all at once.

She usually goes to work early and returns late, and there is a perfect constant temperature system in Shinra Company - no wonder she has not noticed the change of seasons.It can even be said that the changing seasons have nothing to do with her.

In Midgar, people don't need to look at the sky to live, unlike when she was in her hometown, because the family has to do farming, so weather changes and seasonal changes are very important things.

Different weather and different seasons will have their own different scenery.

Not like in Midgar.No matter what time it is the same scenery.She used to look forward to this place very much, but now she feels that this place is like a huge steel cage.

People outside can't get in, and people inside can't get out.

There are also people like her who don't know whether to say they are inside or outside.Always wandering between going out and going in, not knowing what to do next.

While walking and thinking, she accidentally bumped into a tall slender man coming from the corner.As soon as the signature pink fur coat came into view, Esther knew the identity of the visitor.

"Jene—"

Before Esther finished speaking, she was interrupted roughly by the other party.

"Why are you again? You—"

When he opened his mouth, there was a strong smell of gunpowder, but when he was about to explode, he was forcibly interrupted by himself.He took a few deep breaths, and finally just stared at her for a while with eyes that Esther couldn't understand, and then strode away.

Where did this eat the powder keg?

Esther, who was inexplicably choked, was confused.

What is it? How is she again?What the hell did she do?She hasn't seen him for a while, okay?

Esther didn't understand why she seemed to have been blamed, but what made her even more incomprehensible was—his last strange eyes that seemed to be jealous and somewhat desperate.

Recently... nothing major happened, right?

How could a good-looking person suddenly become like this?

Esther looked at the empty corridor, and seemed to understand Beria's mood.

After returning home at night, she hugged the pillow and rolled around on the bed twice, still thinking about what happened today.She instinctively felt that something had happened—or something was about to happen.But I don't know what went wrong, I just think that maybe this is the culprit that caused Genesis' bad temper and Angel's recent absent-mindedness.

I met Zacks two days ago and heard him say that he was almost injured by the absent-minded Angel in the duel with Angel - she wouldn't be surprised if Genesis accidentally went crazy, but this matter But it happened to Angel, who has always been careful and steady.

"what happened?"

Seeing Esther lying on the bed with her pillow in her arms, looking thoughtful, Sephiroth, who came out of the shower, asked while wiping her hair.The dripping water slid down his beautiful muscle lines, and finally sank into the cotton pants.

"Jay...it's nothing." Esther originally wanted to tell Sephiroth about the abnormality of Genesis and Angel recently, but felt that saying this was a bit like a complaint, as if the three were friends. As a result, A is the same as C saying that B has done something bad.

"No, Sephiroth, why did you come out without drying your hair!" After recovering, Esther hurriedly stood on the bed and grabbed the towel in Sephiroth's hand to help him dry his hair—it seemed that it was because of the command of the special forces. Life was in a hurry, and Sephiroth didn't have the habit of drying his hair carefully.

Hence Esther's habit of grabbing him and brushing his hair whenever she saw that he hadn't dried it—her mother had always said that it gave him a headache.So their family has the habit of drying their hair.Of course, maybe it's because boys have quick tempers, and her two younger brothers deal with things by just brushing them off.So grabbing her younger brother and wiping their hair was once her daily job.

So she has a lot of experience with it.Once in head rubbing mode, even Sephiroth's naked body can't be bothered.

Thanks to this, it took her surprisingly short time to adjust to Sephiroth's semi-naked state.

Although Sephiroth's body can be called perfect, he still feels envious and jealous from time to time.

Flawless skin, beautiful long hair and eyelashes longer than hers... As a woman, she really has complicated emotions.

Just when Esther was wiping his head seriously, the silver-haired man suddenly leaned forward, with his arms spread out to embrace Esther, and leaned his face between her chest and abdomen.

"what happened?"

Esther was very surprised that Sephiroth had hardly seen such a 'coquettish' behavior.He quickly grabbed his shoulders.The palm of his hand was against his warm skin, and the warm air he exhaled could be felt on his chest and abdomen.Esther inexplicably felt a feeling of 'loving love'.

Although the postures of the two were very ambiguous, she didn't have any messy thoughts at all.

Although the man in front of her has been a world-famous hero for a long time, but after careful calculation, he is only a teenager, only a few years older than Zacks.She has only held the position of a deputy department, and she is often overwhelmed by all kinds of things, and standing in front of people all over the planet, he who has been promoted to the altar will only suffer more than her.

Who else could she tell her about her recent troubles, but the person in front of her didn't complain a word, and never told anyone.

Even Genesis, who is also 1st, occasionally hears him say some sarcastic words. Although I listen to him reading loveless poems all day long, my ears are going to be callused, but considering that everyone has different preferences and vents. No one will really bother with him about how many times he has recited loveless or whether he can recite it with another one.

And his recent neurotic behavior—maybe he was venting something too.

"Sephiroth." Esther hugged the silver-haired man's arm tightly, "I'm actually a person who can't bear hardships, so I always want to tell people if I feel a little bitter or wronged. Sometimes I also feel that it will be annoying for me to be so long-winded, but if someone shares it with me, I won’t feel so bitter.”

"So... so if you also feel unhappy, say it. Although I may not understand the special forces, and I can't share your worries, I can listen to you and say with you 'it's all him wrong' or something."

Sephiroth never answered, just hugged her quietly.Until she began to feel that her words were too abrupt.Only then heard a low "OK".

Because she kept such a posture, she couldn't see his expression at this time.I just feel that being hugged by him is very tight, even a little painful.But she felt very comfortable - there was a sense of solidity that the heart that had been hanging all this time could finally fall back into her chest and stay where it should be.

Looking back afterwards, Esther still felt that she was a little too abrupt that day.If she had prepared in advance, she would definitely be able to perform better - but this kind of thing, sometimes it is a matter of course, no matter how well prepared, it is not as good as the momentary atmosphere.

But what makes her happy is that although it is rare, Sephiroth will occasionally take the initiative to say something to her.It's not a big deal, maybe even a few sporadic words, like Zacks challenged him again today, and Angel was pulled and joked by many 2nd special forces again today.But it gave her the feeling that she was getting closer to his life and his world step by step.

Although there are still many problems in life, such as endless meetings, high-level Shinra who can never figure out what's going on... There are also various anti-Shinra organizations and individuals that appear from time to time.

But as long as the two of them work hard together, their lives will always get better and better.

After all, most of the time, there are no obstacles in life that cannot be overcome.Neither of them is incapable at all.She felt that they always had a way to face all kinds of difficulties in life in the future.

It's just that at this time, she still doesn't know that there are some things that cannot be solved by pure human power.Not all difficulties can be overcome as long as you work hard.

The author has something to say: The first update of each month comes on time [Scroll] Actually, I originally wanted to update a chapter at the end of November to break the monthly update and become a monthly double update [You have the nerve to say] But at the end of the month, my cousin who has a good relationship gets married... for no reason I was very busy, and then the company was suddenly very busy for a few days, so... =A=

And during this period, the sad thing happened that my mobile phone was completely hung up, and what was even more sad... I didn't have a spare mobile phone, so in the city of modern society, I lived without a mobile phone for three days. Hahahahaha, it's so sour, it's just...

It’s time for the plot to enter the stage of getting sick [wait]... I have to go back and watch the plot or something, brother Yun Pian’er should be bubbling, and the flower girl Alice [wait]

The conspiracy of the red-haired boss has to come to the surface... Wait, have I buried so many foreshadowings, I always feel that something is not right [Hello]

Sister, you spent a lot of money, okay!

☆, Fanwai·Christmas on the other side

April 12

It is said that Christmas is a festival to commemorate the birth of a certain saint, but on the planet, it is no longer known who this saint is, people just continue this festival from generation to generation and endow it with many the meaning you like.

For example, lovers will date together, for example, friends will go shopping together...Of course, there are many people who are busy with work, and they will desperately rush home to reunite after work.

Zacks is the first type of person, Lance is between the first and the second type, and Esther, who has always cared about her family, is a model of the third type.

However, she did not go back to her hometown, but stayed in her and Sephiroth's own home, and arranged her nest together with Belia who also chose to stay here.Although I don't know the cause and effect of Christmas, but since it is said that the festival is going to be a holiday, we must create a festive atmosphere.Although the atmosphere is actually quite ethereal and ethereal, but for a holiday like Christmas that has a certain impression, in fact, as long as the props that should be there are prepared one by one, the atmosphere will come naturally.

Like red Christmas stockings, like wreaths that need to be hung on the door, and Christmas tree decorations that can fill a large box... As for the Christmas tree?That's not something weak women like them need to be responsible for.

Strong-bodied special forces will handle it.

But speaking of Christmas trees...

"Genesis and Angel have been gone for a long time, right?"

Esther straightened up and looked at her watch. Although less than an hour had passed, as far as the special forces were concerned, an hour was probably enough time for them to run from one end of Midgar to the other and then fight back and forth.It will not take them 1 minute to cut down trees.

"Maybe Genesis is reading his "loveless" to the tree that he is about to cut down, talking about the gift of the goddess or something." Bellia shrugged, "I don't understand why He is so sentimental as a man... Where did he get so much emotion."

"Probably only the planet knows this question." Esther shook her head, this question can already be said to be an unsolved mystery.Maybe after many years, they will know a thing or two when he publishes a book like his autobiography.

The two of them complained about a certain special soldier who was dressed in red all day long, but the movements of their hands did not stop. After climbing up and down, they filled the small living room with the decorations in the box.

"The only thing left is the Christmas tree." Esther wiped off her sweat, looking at the red and green decorations all over the room, feeling a sense of accomplishment.

"Yeah, the most important one is missing - Emma's stewed meat! I forgot that there is still stewed meat in my pot!" Belia rushed to the kitchen in a hurry.

Unlike Esther, Belia is actually a housekeeper.Not only is she good at tidying up things, but she is also a master chef at cooking—although from the looks of it, Esther should be the one with the best housekeeping talent.

"Sephiroth doesn't know if I can come back today." Looking out of the window, which was completely dark, with only the deserted halo of street lights left, Esther suddenly felt that her desire to celebrate the holidays had faded a lot.Although he said that he would try his best to come back today, but there were too many unexpected situations during the mission, and no one could make a 100% promise.

Looking at the lively decorations in the room, Esther, who was standing alone in the living room, suddenly felt a little lonely.He was still telling Beria just now that Genesis was always sentimental, but this scene made her feel sentimental too.Although Christmas is always beautifully decorated.But the more beautiful you are, the more lonely you will feel when you are not popular.

The blond-haired girl threw herself into the sofa and let out a long breath.

Knock!

Just when Esther was in a daze, there was a muffled sound of a heavy object falling to the ground outside the door.Shocked, she hurriedly jumped up from the sofa and rushed to open the door.

The tip of the pine tree with bursts of chill pointed straight at the tip of her nose, and it was less than two centimeters away from poking her.

"Are you taking revenge, Genesis!" Esther yelled quite angrily.

"You really like wronging people." Genesis's sinister voice came from the side, followed by Angel's chuckle.

"This time the prisoner is a man from your family."

"Sephiroth?"

"...En." The familiar male voice came from behind the tree.Although there was no change in his voice, the short pause revealed his somewhat cramped emotions.

Esther let them in by opening the door, but when the tree entered the house, she realized that the tree was too long to stand in the house.

The silver-haired man who was holding a tree with one hand blinked innocently.

"Sephiroth... Please trim the length of the tree before you hug it in." Although that posture really can't be called hugging.

"Oh."

Seeing how the two get along like a melodrama, Genesis laughed out loud.

"I didn't expect——I didn't expect Sephiroth to be a tracheitis! Hahahaha!"

"It's better than someone who wants someone to control and no one to control."

Hearing Genesis' gleeful laughter, Belia came out of the kitchen and gave him a hard blow to the knee.

"Better than a woman nobody wants."

"Who do you think no one wants!?"

Seeing that the two were about to quarrel again like a cockfight, Mr. Angel hurried over to appease them.

"Okay, okay, stop arguing—today is Christmas, wouldn't it be great for everyone to spend the holiday together?"

"I didn't... it was this woman who provoked me first."

"Hehe, it's as if I'm not telling the truth."

Seeing that the two were about to explode again, Angel hurriedly carried them to the sides with one hand.

I don't know why, these two people always quarrel when they meet together, but what's even more strange is that generally speaking, people hate the person who always quarrels with them, but these two people will always continue the next time. Met, and then continued to quarrel - I don't know whether the two people have a good relationship or a bad relationship.

While the two were arguing, Sephiroth had already entered with a pine tree whose height had been trimmed.

While listening to the quarrel over there, the husband and wife silently grabbed decorations from the box and hung them on the tree.Because there was no technical problem, they quickly hung up other small things, just short of the top star.

Esther tiptoed and tried, but couldn't reach.

She was about to turn around and let Sephiroth put the star on it, but Sephiroth suddenly grabbed her waist and lifted it up.

"what!"

She called out shortly.Quite angrily, he patted the hand holding his waist, and then raised the star in his hand and placed it on the top of the pine tree.

"Okay, you're done!" She patted her hand, which was actually not dusty, and signaled Sephiroth to put her down.

"Belia, is your dinner ready?"

"You——I forgot! It'll be ready soon! It's almost there!"

In the end, it was Esther who stopped the cockfight-like quarrel between the two.Belia, who shouldered the heavy responsibility of a chef, rushed to the kitchen again.

When Bella's Christmas dinner was finally served, there was another knock on the door of Esther's house.

"Merry Christmas—I'm bringing Alice together for the holidays!" The brunette boy with the hedgehog head carelessly pulled his girlfriend into the door, and the beautiful girl behind him smiled apologetically at Esther.But there was only a trace of apology, and there was no trace of dislike for him.

Esther looked at these two people, and couldn't lose her temper with the carefree Zacks.

Anyway... today is Christmas too.

As a result, the two newcomers had just taken their seats when someone knocked on the door of the house again.

"Oh, Merry Christmas, Esther, I wish you more and more beautiful every year~" the red-haired boss shook the carefully packaged wine bottle in his hand. "I brought a good thing here, this is a good thing I got from someone specially~"

"Why are you even here!?"

"Oh, don't mind such trifles—it's Christmas."

"..."

What does Christmas have to do with you! ?

Esther sighed weakly, and then felt something cool suddenly fall on her hand.

Looking up, under the illumination of the lights, slowly many small rays of light fell from the sky.

"Ah. It's snowing."

"Yes, it's snowing."

The red-haired man stood with her in the doorway.The white air exhaled from his mouth engulfed his expression, making that unscrupulous face look much gentler.

"Esther? Why don't you come in?"

In the room, came the voice of her good friend.

"Coming soon!"

Turning around, in the warm room were her best friend and her dearest man.

The door of the house is closed, isolating the cold outside, and also isolating many, many disturbing things.No matter how many things there are to come, at least today they have a night to forget those things, a sanctuary where they can forget their unhappiness.

Merry Christmas, Sephiroth

Merry Christmas, Esther

Merry Christmas, my dearest people.
