Foreigner's Journey

"...You can speak eloquently, as expected of the young master Hitz who has seduced the hearts of many beauties."

Naya gave him a coquettish look, and walked towards the store: "Go get ready, the regular customers will definitely cry when they find out that Little Tifa has left at night, and it's up to you to calm the scene, Hitz. "

"Yes Madam."

Hitz bowed gracefully and followed Naya into the Wild Rose Bar.

The world never revolves around a certain person, and everyone in the world has their own destiny and future.

After leaving Tifa, [Wild Rose] is still the most popular bar in the upper part of Bafan Street. Those old drinkers will be lost for a day or two at most, and then they will forget about this trainee bartender with a super-class face and figure.

After all, Midgar has no shortage of handsome men and beautiful women.

In the Qifanjie slum, people coming and going began to spread rumors, saying that the bar that was originally called "Seventh Heaven" and then renamed "Wildfire" was about to reopen soon.

And the boss is that Heather!

Some expressed anticipation, some expressed disgust, and some wondered if Heather could fight well but really know how to mix drinks?

In the eyes of complex onlookers, the bar is refurbished day after day.The wooden walls were repainted, all the broken glass windows were replaced, crates of good wine were brought into the bar, cleaned and tidied up, and some people even claimed to have seen two pachinko machines brought into the house.

In any case, the Qifan Street slums will welcome their own bars.

The night in June has become hot and dry. The magic stove above the head can change the light but is not responsible for cooling. The weather should be hot or hot.

In the bar, the ceiling fan above the head was turning at an unhurried speed, and the lights in the room were bright.

Heather and Tifa sat on the bar stools in front of the bar, staring blankly at the spotless dark wooden floor.

Tifa couldn't sit still, and grabbed the rag at hand again: "I'd better wipe it again, it still feels a little dirty..."

Heather quickly pulled her back: "It's been wiped so many times, do you want to wipe the floor off?"

Tifa was also very tired these days, so she couldn't persuade Heather and had to sit back.She looked around the brand-new bar. This bar was completely refurbished by her and her senior brother step by step from scratch to what it is now. Will this be her and her senior brother's new home from now on?

It feels like a dream...

This bar is not only spacious but also in a good location. It is located in a small square in the central area of ​​the Qifanjie slum, which connects the three main streets of the slum.

Inside the bar, there is a back kitchen, a warehouse, a lounge, and a toilet. Whether it is the necessary facilities for the bar or game props such as pinball targets, the best thing is that the first owner of the bar, Monty, has been I wanted a secret base, so I built an electric elevator mechanism near the wall in the hall, and the elevator can reach the lower basement.

As a secret place to rest, the basement was carefully arranged by Heather and Tifa.A soft bed, a high-end sofa from Naya, cabinets for storing food and drinking water, a table and two high-back chairs, and even a TV.

Not asking for more, Tifa just wants to guard this new home forever.

Heather rested her cheeks on the bar: "Speaking of which, I still haven't decided on the name of the bar."

When Tifa heard it, she became angry: "That's not because the name you named is too weird, senior!"

It's not that Heather didn't suggest a bar name during this time, but Tifa rejected them all.Even Marle made various complaints, saying that Heather's name was too old-fashioned and weird.

"What's so weird? [Devil May Cry], [Gate of Hell], [Pig and Whistle]...they're all great names!"

Heather spread her hands helplessly: "Okay, then you choose the name. Anyway, you will be in charge of this store when the time comes, and I will be a hand-off shopkeeper."

Seeing that the naming right really fell to her, Tifa was so nervous that her little face flushed.Subconsciously, she wanted to rub her shoes on the floor, but she couldn't bear it, so she walked around behind the bar, her head almost smoking.

Heather shook her head helplessly: "Hey, hey...it's just a name, isn't it? It's up to you, I won't laugh at you."

"【Seventh Heaven】!" Tifa's firm voice suddenly sounded from the bar.

"Huh?" Heather was a little surprised. Is this the end of the world line?

"Mr. Monty, the first owner of the bar, named the bar [Seventh Heaven], right? I like this name very much. If this bar can become a place for everyone in Qifan Street to relax after work, this name must be very good. Appropriate. Mr. Monty must have thought so, too?"

The more Tifa talked, the brighter her eyes became. Her beautiful red pupils looked at Heather like rubies, asking for advice.

In the end it was called this name... Heather smiled and nodded.

###Chapter 20 Astronomy###

In April 2004, the weather was still a bit cold.

The Qifan Street slums were crowded with people, and there was an unfamiliar face among them.

This is a young beauty with an oval face and a high nose bridge. Her long brown hair is tied into a ponytail behind her head, and she is wearing a deliberately worn casual dress. Her eyes are very agile and she observes the environment here and there.

Jesse Radsberry has always been a standard action.

If you want to personally participate in the gathering of [Astronomy] and join an organization called [Avalanche], then you have to come to this slum in Qifan Street.That's how it goes around the corners of Uptown.

It is not difficult for Jesse, who is lively and cheerful by nature, to act when he thinks.

After nearly a year of expansion, the Qifan Street slums have become complex again. Many new houses have been added out of thin air, making the so-called map in Jesse's hand useless.

Tsk, if I knew it, I would have spent more money to buy the latest version of the map in the hands of the old mouse.

Jesse waved his fist depressedly, then shook his head left and right to observe the terrain, his beautiful lips were tightly pursed, but he refused to ask anyone.

It's not that I'm embarrassed to ask for directions, but I'm afraid of showing my flaws and being seen as a "fat sheep" from the upper city.

Although everyone said that the Qifan Street slum and the Fifth Street slum are relatively good "safe areas", Jesse, who has been educated in the upper city, still has a natural sense of fear of the slums.

Jessie is an actress, according to her own words - [second-rate level, but at least on the big stage of Kingdee Playground].Half a year ago, just as her career was just starting to show off her ambitions, a phone call dragged her out of her dream and faced the cruel reality.

Jesse's father turned into a vegetative state due to an accident.

Her parents are employees of Shinra Company, and her father is responsible for the operation and maintenance of No. [-] Mako Furnace.In an accident half a year ago, Jesse's father was exposed to too much mako and turned into a vegetative state of severe mako poisoning because he fainted in front of the mako furnace for too long and was not treated in time.

He sought help and treatment in many ways, but all he got was unified - he would only be like this for the rest of his life. Although his body was still alive, his 'heart' was dead.

Because of the compensation and monthly subsidy from Shinra, Jesse's family will not be in financial crisis, but Jesse is not reconciled, she always feels that her father's thoughts still exist.

A month ago, she encountered the strange viewpoint of [Astrology] by chance.

According to the scholars of astronomy, there is a wonderful cycle inside the planet under your feet.

Once a human being dies, the body will return to the earth, but the spirit will be absorbed by the planet and become the life flow of the planet.The life flow of the planet will continue to circulate inside the planet, enrich the planet, moisten the earth, and finally return to the surface of the planet in the form of new life.

More often than not, even if life changes its appearance, it will never die, and the river of life will flow to eternity.

The planet is the eternal carrier of life.

When I first came into contact with this point of view, it had a huge impact on Jesse's three views.Because she has been educated by Shinra since she was a child, she has been instilled with the view that "there is nothing left when a person dies, and nothing will be left behind", which is said to be a conclusion that Shinra has verified through scientific testing.

However, scholars of astronomy say that this is just a scam by Shinra.The Republic before the emergence of the Shinra Corporation is another school of rhetoric, saying that after death, people will be judged by [God] and decide to go to heaven or hell.Before the theology of the Republic, it has always been the thinking ethics of astronomy.

"Jessie, think about it in a different direction. If your father's spirit breaks away from the body and merges into the planet, and then your heart is attached to the planet, isn't it closely connected with your father's spirit? Your father is always by your side. "

That's what the old gentleman who learned his astrology from Jesse Copp said.As he spoke, his eyes seemed to drift into the distance, and he saw his wife who had been dead for many years.

Jesse quickly believed the story.Rather than being persuaded, it is better to say that she forced herself to believe this statement.

Then, she came into contact with a fact from the old gentleman that shocked her so much that the Moko extracted by the Shinra Company was actually the life stream of the planet.

In other words, every spray of fluorescent light in the night sky represents that countless souls from ancient times to the present have been thrown into the melting pot of the magic furnace.

In the huge roar of the magic furnace, how many wailing souls are mixed with it?If the Shinra Corporation is allowed to continue to act recklessly, the flow of life will eventually be drained, and the planet carrying countless lives will also march towards death.

【The planet is screaming, but no one can hear it】, the voice of the old gentleman trembled when he said this.

Knowing this fact suddenly, Jesse hid in the house for two full days and did not come out.The truth of Mako is too cruel, how can a young girl who has been relying on Shinra and Mako accept it?

Until the third morning, under the worried eyes of his mother, Jessie walked out of the room with a pale face, leaving only one sentence, "I'm going to Kingdee Playground to challenge the big stage again", and then left home with a salute and a small amount of money .

If Shinra continues to act like this, father's soul will be consumed as fuel one day, right?There are very few organizations or countries in the world that can resist Shinra, and even Wutai has been completely conquered and turned into a docile and harmless tourist area.

Sure enough, I had no choice but to find the mysterious [Avalanche] organization.

She searched for information from various sources, some of which were true and some were false. Once, Jesse was almost tricked into going to the Walled Commercial Street, but in the end she got the exact news—the clues to [Avalanche] might be found in the slums of Qifan Street.

In this way, Jesse came to the Qifan Street slum almost recklessly.

But where to start?Jessie was in a difficult situation. After much deliberation, she finally had to take the risk of asking others for clues, asking where the most well-connected people or the most concentrated news of the Qifan Street slums were.

"Aren't you going to ask [Seventh Heaven] directly?" The passer-by gave him a strange look.

Jesse blinked his big eyes: "Seventh Heaven?"

"If you want to relieve your fatigue and hunger after get off work, the best place to go is the [Seventh Heaven] bar. This is common sense in the slums of Qifan Street, the eldest lady from the upper city."

"Oh? I, I, I am not..."

"Your face is so clean, and your body doesn't have the faint smell of rotten water from the slums. The key is that you are wearing brand-name goods that are only sold in the upper urban areas of Bafan Street. It's okay, since Seventh Heaven opened, it has been a year since Qifan Street There will always be strange faces, and you are not one of them."

Passers-by pointed out the direction of the Seventh Heaven to Jesse and then walked away.

Only Jesse was left in a daze.

###Chapter 21 Him###

Walk all the way in the direction pointed by passers-by, and soon reach the end of the street.

What catches the eye is the small square with dense crowds. There are three streets converging here, which is very lively.On the north side of the small square is a beautifully decorated bar.

The bar has three floors, the first floor occupies the largest area and has wide wooden steps at the main entrance, and the porch is arched.There is a terrace on the outside of the first floor, on which there are some empty wine barrels, tables and chairs, and light strips hanging in the arches.There are only two windows on the second floor, but all of them are closed tightly. A huge signboard is hung above the arch——, bright lights are hung on both sides of the signboard, and there are also light strips wrapped around the signboard.The third floor is a bit like an added container, with a curved lightning cartoon icon painted on the side directly above the signboard.

It's a beautiful bar... Jesse subconsciously nodded her chin to comment on the bar owner's aesthetics, and then remembered what she was here for.

The ponytail on the back of her head flickered, and she strode up the steps and pushed open the door of the bar.

As if a switch had been turned on, a lively and noisy atmosphere rushed over.The smell of wine, the aroma of food, the noise and laughter of wine glasses colliding with the table, and even the electronic sound effect of a pachinko machine.

Jesse had imagined how lively this bar was, but he still lost to his barren imagination.Seventh Heaven's business is as hot as those luxury bars in the upper city, and even more outrageous.

She looked around, and quickly locked her target on the bar.

The bar stools in front of the bar are almost full, and there are men and women customers. One of them is a chubby young man who is sitting on the bar stool and happily talking to the beautiful woman behind the bar, while the beautiful woman is cleaning the glass in her hand Cup, facing the little fat man's language bombardment, nodding with a smile from time to time, it is obvious that the two are acquainted.

After getting closer and taking a closer look, Jesse realized that the beauty behind the bar was not inferior to him in appearance at all. If you included that outrageous figure, it would be a one-sided slap.With black hair reaching to the waist, a fiery figure and a pure and beautiful face like an angel, the pupil color like ruby ​​is very rare.The most important thing is her temperament, which is strong and confident amidst gentleness and softness.

It seems that she is the boss here?

Jesse walked to the bar, and it happened that the black-haired beauty had just finished talking with the chubby little fat man, and the little fat man waved his hand at the black-haired beauty: "I'm full... I'm leaving, Tifa, the bill is still charged to Bigger." over there."

The black-haired beauty named Tifa smiled and waved to the little fat man, then put the clean glass in her hand into the cup holder while looking at Jesse, with a gentle voice: "Welcome to the seventh heaven, may I ask?" do you need anything?"

"Uh... I'm a little hungry, can I order some food?" Jesse is indeed hungry, so the popularity of this place must not be a black shop, right?

"Please sit here." Tifa indicated that Jesse could sit on the bar stool that the little fat man had just vacated, and then said in a quick tone: "Today's evening menu is dinner, I don't know you..."

"I want both, give me one of each."

"OK, just a second."
