The warmth and comfort from behind is enough to lull you to sleep, but it's not the time to sleep yet.

Leaning on Sephiroth's warm chest, Esther still spoke:

"... found it, anyone else?"

Although seeing the result of Sephiroth coming back alone, she still couldn't help asking such a question.

"The wreckage of the helicopter you were in was found, the pilot was dead... and later the bodies of the members of the Turks were found on the cliff."

Sephiroth's voice didn't change much, as if he was just telling one thing straightforwardly.

To him who was used to death, the death of one or two people was nothing - even if those two people belonged to the same company as him.

A person without emotion is almost no different from a stranger to him.

But when it came to Zack's whereabouts, Esther could hear the change in his voice.

Esther had discovered this contradiction in Sephiroth very early on.

He is obviously a person who attaches great importance to emotions, but he is very indifferent to life.It's not repression or habit... If I have to say it, I probably use 'don't care' to describe it.

He will protect people, but he will also mercilessly kill the enemy, and he doesn't even care about the casualties of his own personnel.

It is precisely because of this that there have always been rumors within Shinra that he is 'cold-blooded', 'unhuman' and even 'terrible'.

She didn't know why Sephiroth had such a contradictory temperament, and to be honest, she didn't think that he must make any changes.

As a stingy person, she just selfishly hoped that there would be more people he cared about and more things that would make him happy.

Only in this way can she have the confidence to keep him forever.

Then he can live happily with himself.

"Zacks will never die... His vitality is so tenacious." Although she was also worried about Zacks, she didn't want to keep being so depressed. Just die here."

Esther deliberately joked in a relaxed tone:

"Maybe we can see him looking for us everywhere in the morning tomorrow."

"makes sense."

Sephiroth's tone was also relaxed.

"So... I think we need to think about what to do next." Esther reached for her coat, took out her communicator from inside and shook it.

"My communicator has no signal right now, what about yours?"

"Same."

"...It's really bad." There is no signal from the communicator, so they can't contact Shinra... Do they have to walk out of here with their feet?

Get out of such a ghostly place where you can't even tell the direction with your feet?

It's a nightmare just thinking about it.

"If we're lucky, we should be able to reach Ice and Snow Village... or the home of the Chocobo Immortal. If we keep walking north, we can go to the Big Hollow, but that's too far away." He doesn't matter, but Esther It is estimated that it will be unbearable.

It gets colder the farther north you go, and she'll probably get sick.

"Sephiroth, have you been here?"

Hearing Sephiroth's familiar tone, Esther was quite surprised... She really didn't expect that special forces would come to the Big Hollow, a barren place where no shit.

"I've been here a few times."

Sephiroth answered Esther's question, but did not mention the reason for coming here.

Esther would not be so ignorant to ask the bottom line, she quickly changed the topic.

As she spoke, Esther shivered suddenly, and the hand holding the cloak shrank involuntarily, then subconsciously turned her head to look in the direction of the cold wind.

It snowed heavily outside at some point, and then the wind blew up just now... The chill she felt just now was brought by this gust of wind.

In the dark night, with the lights in the cave, you can see the snowflakes outside.The outside of the cave is like a huge beast's mouth.

"...Is it necessary to find something to gamble on the entrance of the cave?"

Otherwise, the fire will be blown out by the wind.

Looking at the swaying flames in front of her, Esther frowned involuntarily.

Hearing this, Sephiroth hugged Esther who was sitting in his arms and stood up, then picked up the long knife that was placed aside like this, picked a place and knocked on the top of the cave with the handle of the knife.

Not seeing how hard he was, Esther felt as if there was a slight vibration above the cave... Then, a crashing snowdrift fell down, blocking the entrance of the cave.

"This should be okay."

Sephiroth's tone seemed to be saying 'the weather is good', and he didn't feel like he had done any 'feat' at all.

"..."

Is it because the way I look at it is wrong, I always feel that the scene in front of me... seems a bit unscientific?

Whether it is the cave cut out with a knife, or the snowdrift knocked down by the handle of the knife.

Feeling that Sephiroth sat back behind her again, Esther twitched the corners of her mouth silently.

So, is the existence of special forces unscientific, or is the existence of Sephiroth unscientific...?

No, it should be said that it is strange for me to be serious about this kind of thing.

Obviously I have met so many times, but the result is that my own countryman who still can't adapt to it is weak.

Without the invasion of wind and snow, the cave became much warmer.

Then Esther fell asleep unconsciously.

Even though he knew he couldn't sleep, he still couldn't resist the call of the God of Sleep, and fell asleep until dawn.

***

Oops!

As soon as she opened her eyes, Esther realized the major mistake she had made.

He actually fell asleep, is Sephiroth alright?

Body temperature drops when a person falls asleep, and Sephiroth didn't even wake her up...

"Good morning."

Sensing the movement of Esther in his arms, Sephiroth greeted her calmly... This calm attitude made Esther feel that her previous anxiety was in vain.

... Sure enough, can't he be treated as an 'ordinary person'?

"……Good morning."

After a night of baking, the clothes of the two of them were completely dry...or in fact, the clothes were already dry in the middle of the night, but neither of them paid attention to it.

Of course, the one who is already asleep can't care about it.

Esther was a little at a loss when she suddenly left the temperature that she had snuggled up to all night, but now is not the time to be nostalgic.The blond-haired girl patted her cheek with her hand, and quickly put on her clothes.

They still have a lot of things to do today, so they can't delay here.

But the most urgent thing is to find something to eat first.

Counting yesterday, they actually didn't eat three meals.

Previously, I was too nervous to be hungry because I was the only one alone, and I was distracted by chatting with Sephiroth at night...but now I have reached the limit.

She has never been so hungry in her age.

It feels like my stomach is trying to digest itself...

Esther rubbed her deflated stomach vigorously, trying to make it feel better, but it seemed to only have the opposite effect... being rubbed by her like this made her feel even hungrier.

"I'll go find something to eat, you wait here."

Sephiroth, who also changed his clothes, picked up the long knife that was put aside and walked out of the cave. The snow that had originally blocked the entrance of the cave had been scattered by him at some point, and it was piled loosely on the ground. More than half of the hole was exposed.

"...Go early and return early."

Esther opened her mouth, but in the end she could only say such words.

In fact, she would rather go out with Sephiroth than hide in the cave with nothing to do like this and wait for him to come back.But she also knew that now that she went out with her, it could only be a burden, not only could it not help him, but it would also hinder his actions.

I always feel that I am useless... If he found Zack in the first place, the situation would definitely be different.

Thinking of Zack, who has never heard from him, Esther's mood is even lower.And thinking of her own suitcase that disappeared with Zacks... Esther's mood almost fell to the bottom.

It doesn't matter anything else...the clothes that Sephiroth gave her for the first time were still in there!

It really hurts to think about it.

Just as she was happy that Sephiroth was wearing the clothes she gave her and the scarf she gave her, she thought Sephiroth would also like to see the clothes he gave her on her, right?

So why on earth did she bring that dress out... Should precious things be treasured and treasured?

But she still wants to wear it...

internal injury.

When Esther was still feeling sad, Sephiroth, who went out to look for food, came back... Not only did he come back with 'food', but also a large black-haired dog.

"Zack!"

"Oh, Esther, you are safe and sound! That's great!"

Seeing Esther standing up in front of him, the emotional black-haired boy immediately jumped over happily and expressed his excitement with a hug.

It's a pity that the strength was not well controlled, and the momentum was too great, even falling backwards with Esther.

"Wow!"

"careful!"

Even though they shouted like this, the two still fell backward together... If Sephiroth hadn't made a move, they would have fallen badly.

"It's saved." Esther let out a long sigh of relief.

"As expected of Sephiroth!" Zack was still carefree and without a sense of crisis.

"..."

This is the silver-haired hero who reached out to support Esther at a critical moment.

"Oh yes, Esther, your suitcase is here! Thanks to your blanket and lighter, otherwise I wouldn't have known how to get through last night!" The young Zack jumped up and down immediately after the crisis was over.

"Hey, my box?" Facing the lost and found box... no, the clothes are also excited. Wife Esther.

Although I am very happy to find this junior special soldier, but what is going on with the mentality of suddenly wanting to strangle him at this moment...?

Looking at the two people who suddenly became excited in front of him, Sephiroth remained silent.

Facing the younger generation who did a good job and died without self-knowledge, the silver-haired hero tasted the taste of "powerlessness" for the first time.

This is a 'feat' that Esther failed to do.

The author has something to say: Three shifts will be done!I finished 1w words in one day... In fact, I still have great potential hahaha [death]

When it comes to clothes...a friend of mine and I have two completely opposite hobbies. I will often wear the clothes I like, wear them all the time, and my friend... the more I like the clothes, she will wear them. The more I like to keep the 'collection' status.

But neither of our two methods seems quite right [Hello]

I like clothes that wear out too quickly [such as fraying, balling, or stains that cannot be washed off or torn or something], while Jiyou...she has many, many pieces of clothing that have been left like this , and then I couldn’t wear it anymore in the end [from childhood to adulthood]

What a sad story.

Pierce: Facing the natural type, even Sa Ye must retreat [Hello] Occasionally, I feel that the natural type is really a kind of magical creature [? 】I guess so……

Finally, madly support the genuine little angels, I love you to death, then we will see you in the message /~~~~~~~~
