[FF7] Those things after marriage

Sephiroth is back, which should have been a good thing for everyone, but at this time, it is really bad news for some people.

Because his return not only made their original plan lose its original effect, but also brought some unknown variables.Some, they don't want to see variables.

You know, in the face of absolute force, all plots are futile.

No one wants to see their plans all come to naught.

At this time, Randy is also facing a difficult problem-how can he tell Sephiroth that Esther is missing.

There were too many internal entanglements involved in this, and he didn't know where to start—he didn't even know whether he should tell Sephiroth about these things.

After all, it was their fault first, and it would be no fun if Sephiroth was really angry and cut off the Shinra Building.

Of course, what is more important is that he feels guilty towards Sephiroth.

What should I say?When you worked hard for Shinra, don't you worry that Shinra lost your wife?Turks has gone out to look for it?

He felt guilty thinking about it.

But he had to.After all, rather than discovering after being lied to, he felt that he should know the truth from the beginning.

So he had no choice but to "rob" Sephiroth from the office of Special Forces Director Lazard back to his own office when Sephiroth was in a mess.

After walking up and down several times before hesitating to speak, the red-haired man finally swallowed his saliva, stood in front of Sephiroth and looked at him seriously and said.

"Sephiroth, I want to tell you something...unhappy."

"...I hope you can calm down and listen to me." Seeing Sephiroth's slightly tired face, he got stuck again.

First, he has to chase his friends, and then he has to face the doubts of the Shinra company he is loyal to and the blow of his wife's disappearance.

Although Sephiroth has been famous for many years, he is only a young man under 20 years old.It was really cruel to have so many things on him.

He has never been sorry to Shinra Company, but Shinra Company and them owe him a debt.

However, Shinra, which has been in debt to him, did not even give him basic trust in the end.

"Esther...is missing." He thought for a long time, but in the end, none of the modifiers were useful, and he stated the fact straightforwardly.No matter what kind of interface and reason you find, no matter how gaudy you say, you can't make this bad thing better.So, it's better to just explain it clearly.

There was silence.

"What did you say?"

Just when Randy thought Sephiroth hadn't heard clearly, he suddenly spoke.

"Esther... disappeared on the third day after returning to her hometown."

With a bang, the metal ground under Sephiroth's feet suddenly sank.

But fortunately, other than that, he didn't have any follow-up actions.He just stared at Randy with those ice green eyes, staring at every word he was about to say.

"Tax is now investigating this matter... Sephiroth, you..."

"I'll go." The silver-haired man turned his gaze away from Randy, turned around and was about to walk out. "My wife, I will bring it back myself."

Randy stood where he was, and finally said nothing.He could only watch Sephiroth leave, then scratched his head and thought about how to clean up this mess for him.

After all, he has no reason to stop a husband from saving his wife.

It's just that this time Sephiroth didn't abide by Shinra's regulations and acted without permission. This is indeed a bit tricky, especially at such a sensitive time. If the matter is not handled properly this time, the consequences will be really serious.

However, from another perspective, if Sephiroth is not allowed to go, and Sephiroth dismantles Shinra and leaves angrily, the result will be even worse.

I just hope that the gang of old people on the board of directors can see the current situation clearly, and don't make a fool of themselves at this time.

……

The news of Esther's disappearance did not spread in the company, so people who knew Esther's absence only thought that she had returned to her hometown.Except for the employees in the administrative department who pay more attention to her because she is the boss, the biggest impression of others on her is the label of "Sephiroth's wife". The reason why they paid attention to her before was only because of the rumor that Sephiroth defected. , Now that Sephiroth is back, the rumors are self-defeating, and people will naturally stop paying attention to her.Instead of paying attention to her, it's better to focus on this month's salary or something.

Sephiroth, who just came back and left, no longer had the previous cranky thoughts, and it was just that he had a new mission.

In fact, most of the time people pay attention to whether he is there, not what he does.

After all, most of the special forces are in rotation to perform tasks.The same is true for Sephiroth, although there are very few missions that require him to take action at his level, but he must take action, most of them are big things, and it is not impossible to not come back for a month or two.

This is 'hero'.

Although people pay attention to him, no one cares about him.

After all, he is not part of people's everyday life.

So compared to the moment of enthusiasm when he came back, Sephiroth's departure can be said to be deserted.

Randy, on the other hand, was once again caught in arguing with the board of directors and other high-level officials—after all, he was the one who told Sephiroth about Esther's disappearance.He was also the last to see Sephiroth.

Sephiroth's mental state at that time

How, what he said, and whether there is anything unusual can only be judged by his retelling.

After another interrogation called the interview ended, Randy walked slowly on the long metal corridor. Although his face was still calm, his eyes were faintly tired.

Those old guys on the board of directors have been at ease for too long.That shrewd brain from back then has probably been thrown into the Mako Furnace long ago.

The sense of superiority revealed in that kind of words and the disapproval of the 1st special forces...

Do they really think that the special forces are just stronger humans like when Shinra was first established?

It's really hard to sympathize with someone who died someday.

"The way you look now is really pitiful." A woman with the same cold metallic aura as the Shinra Building stood in a corner of the corridor with her arms folded.His eyes, like glass beads, reflected his appearance as he was walking from a distance, but there was no trace of sympathy on his face.

"Ah, Heda, are you waiting for me?" Seeing the person, the red-haired man smiled frivolously and said in a friendly tone, "But that being said, I don't have the energy to talk to you right now." Date."

"That's really lucky, after all, I'd rather dance with Bahamut than have any close contact with him." There was a little disgust in Heda Heyman's eyes, but this disgust didn't make her I want to kill the man in front of me.

"It's ruthless." Randy shrugged, not taking it seriously.

"Then I'm looking for today..."

"Your hands are too long."

Before Randy finished speaking, Heda interrupted him coldly.

"Tsk tsk. I can't compare to you who 'accidentally' lost the file." The red-haired man was speechless, "If it weren't for the 'careless' you, the boss, I really don't believe that those two children have the ability to get from you. Get what they want in a research room like an iron barrel."

Although it is not Dr. Hojo's stuff, all the early data are confidential. Although the Shinra special forces have some basic system intrusion methods, the confidentiality level of the Shinra research department cannot be solved by 'basic'.If that's the case, maybe the 'monsters' created with the Mako Furnace will run all over the street.

"Your behavior is not just about the length of your hands."

Randy casually leaned against the cold metal wall, and looked at the woman in front of him with half-cast eyes, "To be honest, you and Lazard have a lot of little tricks, right?"

"In contrast, I have kept myself safe without stopping a husband who wanted to save his wife."

Facing Randy's accusation, Hedda Heyman's expression didn't change at all.But she also doesn't have the desire to continue talking with this man. What should be said has been finished, and this man is not someone she can control-if things still develop in a direction she did not expect, then There must be another solution.

"what ever."

Leaving such a short word, Hedda Heyman left as silently as when he appeared.

"Steel Ghost." Thinking of the woman's disappearance several times, Randy shook his head and commented.

It's just that things have reached the point where he has to start thinking about the worst.If you are not careful, you might be killed by your own people.

After all, his allies don't have much friendship at all.

Whether it was Lazard, Hedda Heyman, or whoever, they were 'best friends' who could have sent him to the gallows without hesitation for their own petty ideas.

But the advantage is that when he is still useful, they will keep him within a certain range.Even if you just want to use him as a shield, you can't let him be killed casually.

Looking at the message in the terminal, Randy showed a sarcastic smile.

"President Rufus intends to re-appoint the new 1st Special Forces."

It seems that President Rufus is also tired of the word "generation" on his head, and wants to make some big news so that he can take back the rights from the board of directors, just like his father did back then.

It's just that it's not easy to be the new 1st at this time.

Maybe the scenery will return to the planet in two days.

And the candidate...

He could probably guess who it was.

There was only one person who had been involved with Sephiroth, Esther, Genesis, and Angel and had been promoted.

Zack Phil.

There is only this lively, lovely and poor child.

He came to Shinra Company with a dream, yearning to become a hero who saves the planet and firmly believes that everything he does is for justice.

However, everything he has can only be divided into 'useful' and 'useless' for Shinra.

Now, it's time for him to be 'useful'.
