[FF7] Those things after marriage

Esther bought the train ticket for the day, and stepped on the way home neatly.

She might startle her parents by running back so suddenly, but no one will ask her what happened.She is truly blessed to have such a caring family.Even Sephiroth...

Even Sephiroth... feels good, right?

Thinking of Sephiroth, Esther's mood fell again.She leaned against the car window, staring blankly at the constantly passing scenery outside the window in a daze.The gray metal buildings of Midgar were flashing past section by section, and were finally left far behind. The barren and gravel-covered land on the outskirts of the city was displayed before people's eyes.

There are sandstones and thin loess everywhere, and the occasional plants are also dull in color and have twisted roots.

She had read an article that said 'Midgar is a dead place. ’ Although she knew that Midgar was full of metal, people were always coming and going, and it seemed really lifeless, but she had never seemed to resonate with this sentence like today.

The city is like a huge cage, locking them all.

There are people like her who look forward to a big city and walk in with dreams, and there are people like Sephiroth who have taken on the dreams of too many people and can't get out

People.

Many, many people are trapped here, day after day, year after year.Maybe some people are aware of it, but they don't have the courage to go out and leave this steel city that shelters people while trapping them.

Maybe it's time for me to think about retirement in advance—or simply change jobs, and it's also a good choice to go back to my hometown to open a shop and be a proprietress.

But, Sephiroth, can he go?

Can this person who was born in Shinra and grew up in Shinra really leave Shinra?

The train staggered, and Esther, who was full of thoughts, gradually drove away from Midgar, heading farther and farther away.

Until it disappears at the end of the field of vision.

The village where Esther's family lives is very small, and there is no direct train to it.So after getting off the train, she had to change into a rented chocobo and walk for half a day before returning to the village.These chocobos are well-trained, and they are responsible for sending the passengers who got off the train from the town to various villages every day.They travel to and from various villages every day, perhaps more familiar than Esther, a local.

But to be honest, after getting used to riding a car, it is really hard to get used to riding on a living creature like a chocobo.Esther carefully pulled the rein hanging on the chocobo's beak, letting it lead her joltingly on the way home.

Leaving Midgar, the land beside the road came to life.The green meadows are dotted with unknown but often seen wildflowers.The air was filled with the fragrance of green grass, and it was no longer the metallic smell that could not be escaped from Midgar. At this moment, the tight string in Esther's body was slowly loosened. .

There are no gossips and gossips here, and no strange eyes from people.She also doesn't have to worry about her friends and at the same time spend 12 points on mental work, for fear of causing trouble if she makes a mistake.

However, as the string was relaxed, certain sequelae also followed——

"You have a fever of 40 degrees, what did you do?"

The mother who hadn't seen her for a long time looked angrily at her daughter who had just collapsed when she met her - that really scared her.She thought something was wrong with her, but the doctor came to make a diagnosis, but the result was that she was just overtired.

"I told you a long time ago, don't work too hard, don't work too hard, you can get nothing if you put your health into it."

Esther curled up in the quilt full of sunshine, closed her eyes and listened to the nagging from her mother.Many years later, the words that once made people inevitably bored are so nostalgic.

The warm blanket and the familiar smell in the air are so reassuring.

Although she has not been back for many years, some things have not changed because of the passage of time, and they are still as beautiful as in memory.

It was great to have come back this time.

With this in mind, Esther fell asleep amidst her mother's nagging.

Esther's mother also stopped after some nagging and complaining.She looked at the most mature and least worrying daughter, sighed and shook her head.

This child has his own ideas since he was a child, and he is still a dead-headed one. Once he settles on something, he will not be able to pull back even the train.She doesn't understand the ambition in her heart, but as a mother, she will let her children go out on their own.

She is used to such an ordinary life, but her children are not necessarily like her.

So she agreed with her to go to Midgar and let her do what she wanted to do and live the life she wanted to live.

And she, stay here, stay at home, waiting for her to come back.

Then no matter what she said, he would say to her: "Just come back."

***

Esther slept for a full day and night, and when she woke up again, it was already the afternoon of the next day.

She was lazily lying on the bed, the warm sunlight shining on her body made people lose the motivation to get up, and she simply wanted to stay in bed like this for the rest of her life.However, the time spent in bed is always short. After a while, the mother who opened the door and came in lifted the thin quilt from her body and urged her to get up.

"The sun is almost setting and you still don't get up, you lazy girl!"

"Mom, please let me lie down for a while longer!" Esther acted coquettishly, turned over and hugged the pillow, refusing to leave the comfortable bed.

"Get up and eat, your fever has just subsided, how can you not eat."

While talking, the mother reached out and touched Esther's head, and nodded again after confirming that the temperature had returned to normal, and pulled the pillow out of Esther's arms again.

The girl whose hands and feet are limp because of a recent fever is no match for the strong and strong mother.

Esther Grant, complete failure.

Esther, who was unwilling to get up, immediately threw all her reluctance back to Midgar when she saw the egg porridge on the table——Mom’s love egg porridge is the best!

"Lazy sister!"

"Slacker!"

"See how I clean you up after eating!"

Esther, who felt that she needed to regain the dignity of her eldest sister, ate a big mouthful of egg porridge angrily, and was ready to eat and drink enough to refresh her energy before going to deal with these little devils.

The time at home is comfortable and peaceful.An Yi was so comfortable that Esther felt that her thoughts were about to stop spinning.

Lying on the green meadow outside the village, she couldn't even open her eyes.

She couldn't think about Shinra, she couldn't think about work, she couldn't even...not even think about Sephiroth anymore.

Perhaps, just not going back like this is also a good choice.

Anyway, she is not an important role, even if she is gone, no one will care.It's not that no one can take her place - it's a little sad to think about it this way.

After going out and working hard for so many years, I ended up being a dispensable little role.

Oh no, she also has an eye-catching identity - the wife of the hero Sephiroth.

Just this wife.Maybe...it will become an 'ex-wife'.If Sephiroth doesn't come back, maybe the title of ex-wife will disappear, and she will become an abandoned wife directly.

Abandoned wife... This is really a word that has never appeared in her life.

She suddenly remembered the novel she read a long time ago.

Although I can't remember the content clearly.But there is a plot that is quite impressive. There is a pair of neighbors. The men of the two families went out to work, and then they lost all news. The woman from the second family stayed behind, waiting for her husband to come back.Many years later, her husband and the neighbor's man returned with wealth and fame, and the two lived happily ever after.But the first woman ended up spending her whole life alone.

At that time, she was still thinking that if she would be like the second woman, but when things happened to her, she found that things were not as simple as she imagined.Also began to understand the feelings of the first woman.

After all, people's ability to bear is always limited.

She wasn't some bad woman who abandoned her family, but she couldn't hold on any longer.

In order to prevent yourself from breaking down, there is no shame in choosing to escape.

Esther spread her thoughts slowly, thinking about some scattered and unrelated things.

Until, she was enveloped by a black shadow, and then, she didn't know anything.

……

"What? You said Esther is missing?" Randy, who got the news, rushed into Zeng's office like a bull.

"You forgot to knock, Randy."

"I'll go knock on your sister's door, and tell me what happened when you managed to wipe out my subordinates. Don't tell me that she's missing. She's obviously accompanied by a good fighter from the Turks. How could she be 'disappeared'?"

"...just disappeared." Zeng ignored Randy's questioning, calmly put down the document in his hand and looked at him, "Takes who followed Esther reported that she suddenly disappeared from the hillside outside the village. There are not many people who can avoid the ears of the Turks, so the possibility that Sephiroth took people away is not ruled out."

"You said that you were afraid that Sephiroth would come into contact with her secretly, so you released her as bait, but you told me that the perpetrator could not be identified if she was lost. Zeng, your Turks' brains were blocked by Lu. Did the bird kick it?"

Randy slammed his hands on Zeng's desk with a bang, his eyes were ferocious as if he wanted to tear a piece of flesh off him.

However, Zeng didn't respond to him immediately, he just looked at him with his quiet eyes for a moment before opening his mouth:

"You'd better pray that the person who took her away is not Sephiroth, otherwise no one can guarantee the safety of those related to her."

Cutting weeds and eradicating roots is Shinra's consistent method.

*!

Randy leaves Zeng's office with a stomach full of rage.So he didn't approve of the plan from the beginning, but he didn't have a good reason to stop it.If Zeng did this, even his own plan would be affected.

However, what he never expected was that when he returned to the administrative office area, he overheard people's conversations:

Sephiroth, come back.
