foreigner's journey

Chapter 343 Vulcan Stone
As Cloud approached, the Jesse trio was extolling Cloud's reliability in front of Heather and Tifa.

Weiji imitated Claude's gesture of swinging the giant sword, and kept nagging: "Brother Heather, you don't know how powerful Claude is, such a big metal giant sword can be swung as easily as a small dagger Swift."

"Weigie, you said it several times on the way back." Biggs pushed Weggie away impatiently.

Heather handed the tray with hash browns to the crowd: "Barrett, what do you think of this foreign aid's strength?"

"It's really worthy of this high commission... Mmm! It's delicious!"

Barrett ate two pieces of hash browns in a few moments, and then swung down a whole bottle of iced drink before wiping his mouth: "But the remuneration is a problem, the previous 2000 GIL was just for hiring him to assist in this operation Bar?"

Jesse nodded: "The remuneration for this time will be fine when the water purifier is recovered tomorrow."

"Jesse, why is the scale of this explosion so exaggerated?" Barrett scratched his head, and he also felt that something was wrong.

"I'm guessing it might be the bomb that triggered the mako's massive explosion."

Jesse sighed: "But even with this calculation, the power is not right... Are the cheap ones found on the black market really unreliable? I will change to a bomb with higher stability when I do the next operation."

"Ah, [Hero] is back."

Heather noticed that Claude was walking towards this side slowly, and took out a bottle of iced drink from the ice bucket and threw it to him: "Isn't it fun to participate in a team building activity once in a while?"

Claude caught the cold glass bottle: "The fierce battle and the explosion that spread to the entire Mako furnace are just team building activities for you?"

Heather picked up a piece of hash browns and took a bite: "Sorry, that's the wrong word. Maybe I should use [suburban picnic organized by kindergarten] to describe it better?"

Seeing that the two were about to quarrel again, Biggs hurriedly stopped in the middle: "To celebrate, why not hold a banquet?"

Tifa clasped his hands in front of his chest, and said cheerfully: "Okay, senior brother and I are here to take care of the cooking, and there are a lot of fresh ingredients in the refrigerator. Is it okay, senior brother?"

Heather tilted her head and forced a 'hum'.Having lived together for so many years, Tifa didn't understand Heather's subtext, and made an [OK] gesture to everyone with a smile on her face.

Seeing that Heather agreed, everyone in the avalanche organization cheered, which meant that they could have another delicious free meal.

Claude looked at Tifa and Heather who were talking happily, his expression was slightly gloomy, and he turned to leave.But as soon as he took two steps, Jesse held his arms directly in his arms, and Claude blushed slightly.

He looked at this brown-haired beauty with a round face and high nose bridge who always used tiger and wolf words to tease him, and said in an unnatural tone: "...you can give me the reward tomorrow."

Jessie grinned, showing her sharp little canine teeth: "Thank you, but without you, a great hero, at the celebration banquet, the topic and atmosphere will fade a lot. Let's come together, shall we?"

Feeling Jesse's concern from the heart, Claude felt warm in his heart, and the arm that was originally intended to break free from Jesse's arms no longer exerted too much force.Seeing this, Jesse hurriedly pulled him towards the bar, and Biggs and Wage also ran over and pushed Claude to boo.

In this way, Seventh Heaven was surrounded by lively laughter and the smell of food that night.

After drinking and eating, the drunk Weggie and Biggs returned to the rented house shoulder to shoulder, and Barrett also left with Marlene who was asleep in his arms.

Heather looked around the hall with her hips on her hips, and muttered bitterly: "Did these bastards run away without cleaning up?"

Tifa, who was picking up the garbage into the garbage bag, laughed: "It's not because Biggs is drunk. Normally, his favorite thing is to clean up after eating. Don't be angry, brother, I Just pack it up, and go to rest."

How could Heather let Tifa clean up alone? He turned his head and whistled: "You two, move faster!"

Jesse, who ran too slow and was caught by the young man, and Claude, who was living in the basement of the bar and could not escape, heard Heather's command, so they had to speed up the cleaning action.

There is no way, if you make the big boss unhappy, there will be no free and delicious meals to eat in the future.

While wiping the table with a wet rag, Jesse whispered to Claude, "Claude, can I ask you something?"

"Ah? You want to pay in advance?" Claude, who was struggling to wipe the floor, raised his head.

"No! I will pay you tomorrow after collecting the arrears for the water purifier. Don't worry!"

Jessie waved his hand vigorously, first glanced secretly at Heather who was helping Tifa to clean up the garbage in the distance, then continued to lower his voice and said, "I want you to accompany me to the upper district of Qifan Street, and I will pay you extra reward."

"What are you going there for?" Claude learned how to behave this time, instead of talking so full, he planned to ask the content of the task before considering whether to accept it.

"Didn't I tell you? The upper part of Qiban Street is the residential area for Shinra company employees, and my parents also live there. In addition, I need to replace the bombs needed for the next operation, so I have to invade Go and steal some 'good stuff' from the storage area of ​​Shinra Company's warehouse in Qifan Street."

Jesse also spent a lot of money this time:

"This operation should not involve too many people. I can hack into the system of Shinra's warehouse reserve area, and you can protect me. The reward is to have a date with you and a summoning beast spar, okay?"

Claude's reaction was very straightforward: "Forget about the previous one, and you can indeed consider summoning the beast spar as a reward."

Jessie patted Claude: "Damn, the one in the back is the extra head! Then we will meet tomorrow afternoon, and I can take you to meet my mother. I learned all my pizza baking skills from her." Yo."

"Wait a minute, what is the magic spar of the summoned beast?"

Claude has to ask clearly, among the summoned beasts are powerful monsters like [Bahamut] and [Tiamat], as well as mascots like [chocobo] and [gem beast] with little effect, There is a huge gap between up and down.

"[Ifrit], the Vulcan Stone. This is a treasure I got at the Kingdee Playground when I was an actor. Are you excited?"

Jesse said with a smile:

"A weak woman like me cannot resonate with the summoning stones, and only strong fighters like you and Heather can use them to their full potential."

"Hasse also has a summoned beast spar?" Cloud looked at Heather who was talking to Tifa in the distance.

"Hmm, of course he has, and he has a high degree of 'resonance' with him."

Jesse pointed to Claude:

"What I want to give you is the Fire God Stone [Ifrit], and what he holds is the Ice God Stone [Shiva]."

　PS: In the original work, what Jesse gave to Claude was 【Ifrit】, but it’s hard to explain where she got such a rare Summoned Beast Crystal as a poor member of Avalanche, I can only speculate Because it is a rare item she got at the Kingdee Playground when she was an actress in her early years.
