Foreigner's Journey

Generally speaking, the same summoned beast spar can exist in plural forms in this world. When Shinra and Wutai fought back then, there was even a spectacular scene of Ifrit on both sides bombarding each other.But with wars, fighting, loss, and finally returning to nothingness, many magic spar were destroyed or lost in a certain corner of the world, including summoning stones.

I don't know if the more powerful the summoned beast is, the harder it is to condense into summoning stones. There are very few Bahamut summoning stones recorded since ancient times.Even the Shinra Company, which was at its peak during the Wutai War, only kept three Bahamut Summoning Stones, two of which lost their traces after the war, and the remaining one is currently kept in the scientific research of the Shinra Company headquarters. department.

The Ifrit Summoning Stone in Jessie's hand is a treasure she accidentally got when she traveled the world with the theater troupe as an actor in her early years. She kept it carefully. Even her mother didn't know that her daughter had such a summoning stone stone.

Claude looked at the red summoning stone in his hand, and there seemed to be a faint flame flickering inside.This is the Summoning Stone of [Vulcan] Ifrit. Claude hesitated for a while but did not reject Jesse's invitation, carefully put the Summoning Stone in his arms and prepared to find a chance to inlay it into his metal giant sword [Destruction Sword] above.

Seeing that Claude decisively accepted the 'Love Token', Jesse was extremely happy.She took the opportunity to get close to Claude and agreed on the time and place to meet. Claude pushed Jesse away because he was short-staffed, and Jesse was a super-high-level beauty, so he didn't like it. Consciously a little secretly happy.

Soon, the time came to the next night.

Claude and Jesse meet at the station, only to discover that the train has not arrived on time.Not only that, there was no one around the station, so I don't know what happened.

Just when the two were in trouble, Biggs and Wage pushed two motorcycles and walked over.

"Huh? Biggs? Wedge? Why..." Jesse was very surprised, he obviously didn't tell his two buddies about his plan for tonight.

Fatty Weggie gave a thumbs up: "Biggs saw that you were absent-minded, and guessed that you planned to go back to the upper city of Qifan Street to see your family before the next operation, right?"

"There are no trains today, and Shinra moved the time of the last train earlier. I borrowed a motorcycle, let's ride this to the upper city."

Biggs nodded with a smile.

Jesse covered his chest and smiled: "Really, I was completely seen through."

Biggs patted the motorcycle: "Although it's a bit cheeky, I hope you can let us two without parents experience the feeling of being filial to our parents."

Jessie's heart warmed, knowing that the two buddies were afraid that something would happen to him after he went to the upper city, so he insisted on following him to help.She turned to look at Claude: "Where are Claude's parents?"

"...not here." Claude's expression dimmed.

Seeing Claude's sad expression, Jesse seemed to be poked in the heart.She patted Claude on the shoulder, deliberately enlivening the atmosphere with a cheerful tone: "Okay! Then let's go together and share the guilt of unfilial children!"

"Oh oh oh!"

Biggs and Wedge immediately raised their arms in response.

Then the bikes were assigned as simple as Crowder and Biggs on one each, with Jesse on the back of Crowder's bike and Wedgie on Biggs'.

Hugging Claude around his waist, Jesse giggled twice with a reddish face, and said softly in Claude's ear: "I entrust you with my safety, Sir Knight."

Claude held the handlebar of the motorcycle with one hand, and held the giant metal sword in the other hand, nodded slightly: "Hold it firmly."

Two motorcycles passed through the huge brightly lit tunnel at a fast speed.

Jesse is very good at high-tech technology. The water purifier is a practical device she developed. She also forged a lot of ID cards for various occasions.This time she just brought enough new ID cards and distributed them to the crowd for the next ID scanning level that will appear in the tunnel.

The lights in the tunnel quickly swept behind Jesse. Even at such a high speed and only holding the handle with one hand, Jesse still feels that the motorcycle is more stable than ever. He is really a good man worth relying on.

"Can you hear it?" At this moment, Claude's voice came from the front.

"Well, I can hear you, what's the matter?" Jesse hugged Claude's waist, rubbed his whole body forward and almost completely stuck to Claude's back, and said with his mouth next to Claude's ear.

Claude seemed to want to break free from Jesse's bear hug, but considering that he was driving at a high speed at this time, he had to give up. He turned his head slightly to prevent the hot air from Jesse's mouth from hitting his ears, and asked as calmly as possible: " Who is that Heather?"

"Heather? When I came to Seventh Street, Heather and Tifa had been running a bar together for more than a year."

Jesse thought for a while, and said unhurriedly: "I've heard a lot of rumors about him. Some people say that he has at least dozens of lives under his hands, and some people say that he is the underground king of the slums on Qifan Street. But The Avalanche Organization has always had a good relationship with him, probably because of the relationship with the former leader Helmer?"

"He and Tifa are brothers and sisters?" Claude finally asked the question he wanted to ask.

"Aha, I finally asked. I'm still wondering how long you're going to hold back before asking."

"...What's the answer?"

"Fortunately for you, Tifa and I are good sisters. Of course, I have asked her this question. Yes, Heather and Tifa are indeed brothers and sisters. They have the same master. Five years ago, Tifa just When she came to Midgar, Heather shouldered the responsibility of guardian and took care of her. Tifa is usually gentle and gentle, and rarely gets angry. But if someone dares to speak ill of Heather in front of her, she will Really throw a tantrum. You, like Tifa, don't you?"

Jesse's sudden attack caught Claude off guard. He was silent for a moment and then said, "Nothing."

"What does it matter if you admit it or not? I'm not blind, and there are many people who like Tifa. Looking at the slums of Qifan Street, who doesn't like Tifa? It's just that no one has ever been able to get the seventh heaven kanban girl." My heart, guess what is the reason for this?"

"...Because of Heather?"

Claude's tone was a little bitter.He has been secretly in love with Tifa since he was a child, and even resolutely joined Shinra Company in order to become her hero. After reuniting after a long absence, he thought that he could make Tifa look different as a "former 1st fighter", but he didn't expect ...

"Don't look at Heather's ordinary appearance, in fact, he is really an outstanding man. His skills are unrivaled, he takes great care of those around him, he cooks well, has money and never spends it recklessly, He doesn't bully the weak either. The most important thing is that he has been with Tifa day and night for five years, isn't it strange that Tifa likes him?"

Jessie patted Claude's waist: "If you are really Tifa's friend from the same country, then you should know her character very well - once you like her, you won't change easily. Although I didn't make it clear clearly, But she does like Heather. You don't stand a chance, handsome."

"........."

Claude stopped talking, just twisted the handle of the motorcycle to accelerate the motorcycle again.

At this time, there were several red grid-shaped lights flashing in front of the tunnel, and Jesse hugged Claude tightly and shouted: "It's an ID scan! Be careful!"

"What's the matter, didn't you confidently say that the ID card you made was safe?" Claude was a little panicked by Jesse's shout, and his hand holding the sword was raised.

"The ID card is fine. But it appears in the tunnel at this time, which is the biggest problem in itself! The Shinra Army stationed nearby will definitely send someone to check."

While the two were talking, the red grid had passed them and Biggswiggy behind them.

Soon, there were several motorcycle sounds in the rear tunnel.

Claude looked in the rearview mirror on the left, and found that there were at least six more advanced motorcycles carrying heavily armed Shinra soldiers chasing up.

The leading Shinra soldier shouted through the on-board loudspeaker: "The motorcycle in front, pull over immediately and accept the ID scan verification! Repeat, pull over immediately and accept the ID scan verification!"

"Whoever parks is an idiot!" Jesse stuck out his tongue at the Shinra soldiers behind him, and then said to Claude, "Hurry up and dismiss them before they report to their superiors."

Claude picked up the metal giant sword [Destruction Sword], his left arm muscles bulged, his eyes were cold:

"Right on my mind."

###Chapter 45 No. [-] Demon Furnace Destruction Plan###

, the journey of a foreigner

Three hours later, two black shadows floated down from the top disk 300 meters above the ground.

One of the black shadows fluttered and landed in the open space outside Qifan Street.As soon as it landed on the ground, the black shadow split into two. The one who didn't stand still screamed and fell forward, but was grabbed by the person behind.

The two figures were Jesse and Claude, with parachutes scattered under their feet. It seemed that they jumped directly from the steel disc in the upper city of Qifan Street using the parachute bag.

Jessie raised her arms happily: "It's so fun! So skydiving is such an interesting thing?"

Claude folded the parachute in silence, he still needs some time to digest what happened tonight.

First, in the tunnel chase battle, he was chased by a 3rd special soldier named Roche. He was no less difficult than the 2nd and was extremely good at riding a motorcycle.Claude seriously suspected that this Rochester was stuck in the 3rd class because of his weird personality, otherwise he would have been able to go to the 2nd class with his strength.

After finally getting rid of the Shinra army, the group came to Jesse's home in the upper urban area of ​​Qifan Street, and were warmly received by Jesse's mother.

Jesse's mother thought that Jesse was still working as an actress at Kingdee Playground, and this time she was just asking for leave to go home to visit, and everyone present was very cooperative and did not say anything.By the way, the pizza that Jesse's mother baked was so good that Weggie couldn't even eat six of them.

Leaving Jesse's house, everyone sneaked into Shinra's military equipment warehouse [Seventy-six Branch] located in the upper city of Qifan Street.Jesse is responsible for hacking into the system and sneaking in to steal explosives, while Claude and others are responsible for responding.

The thing was stolen, but because the alarm was triggered, he was surrounded by Shinra soldiers, and the 3rd special soldier named Roche was also drawn out.

At a critical juncture, intensive gunfire saved them.A large number of soldiers in unified combat uniforms rushed into the [Seventh and Sixth Division] and attacked the Shinra soldiers.

Under the introduction of Biggs, Claude knew that the soldiers in front of him were members of the Avalanche Association. Today happened to be the day when they planned to raid the [Seventh and Sixth Branch] to seize military supplies, and they indirectly saved Claude and his party. people.

Claude and others took advantage of the chaos to escape, but the tunnels and trains had been blocked by the troops sent by Shinra Corporation, and they could not return to the lower city of Qifan Street by ordinary methods.

Jessie found a box of parachute bags at the secret location her father had told her about before.Next, things were as everyone saw, and everyone returned safely to the Qifanjie slum.

Because of the demon wolf invasion a few years ago, Shinra Company carried out a large-scale cleaning of the area near the outer wall of Qifan Street. Tifa cleaned up.The current Qifanjie slum is the safest area in the entire Midgar slum.

The open space under the 'moonlight' was silent, only a couple of young men and women were talking.

"Let's go, I'll take you back." Claude handed the packed parachute bag to Jesse.Although the process was a bit exciting, everyone returned safely after all, but I don't know what's going on with Biggs and Weggie.

"Thank you very much, my lord knight."

Jessie grinned, leaned over and took Claude's arm, and happily pulled him towards the slums on Seventh Street.

In the middle of the night, there were not many people on the streets of the slums, and the lights of Seventh Heaven in the distance were all extinguished. It seemed that Heather and Tifa had closed for a rest.

The house that Jesse rented was a not-so-spacious one-story house, and the exterior walls were wrapped with scrap iron sheets, in a typical slum style.She rented this hut with two clean girls who dreamed of becoming actors, and made an appointment that no one was allowed to bring boys back.

Jesse stood in front of the door and stuck out her tongue at Claude: "Sorry, I won't let you in today. Wanda and Natasha should have fallen asleep."

"I didn't intend to go in either."

Claude responded straightforwardly, but he was stopped by Jesse when he turned to leave.

"Wait a minute, there are special rewards."

Jesse rushed over and hugged Claude tightly, and kissed him lightly on the side of the cheek.

Claude stood stiffly on the spot, the soft touch from his left face made him feel at a loss, and his breathing became short of breath.After a few seconds, he found that Jesse didn't let go of him at all, so he said a little embarrassedly: "You, you let me go first."

Jesse leaned into Claude's ear with a red face and said, "Then why don't you come to see me tomorrow night? My roommates won't be here tomorrow night."

Claude tried to push Jesse away with an unnatural expression: "What do you mean 'then you come to me', anyway, let me go first!"

Jesse let go of Claude with a smile, put his hands on his shoulders, his big eyes seemed to be dripping water: "If I let go, will you come tomorrow night?"

It was the first time in his life that he encountered such a fierce attack from a girl, especially when the other party was as beautiful as Tifa, Cloud hesitated.

After a few seconds, he sighed softly: "Got it, I'll think about it."

"Great! I will bake a very delicious pizza and wait for you. The ingredients are Marco, Lucerne, Black Milion and Hongxili. How about it?"

Claude was a little embarrassed: "...I haven't heard of them all."

"Hmm~~~ You are so cute!"

Seeing Claude's appearance, Jesse put her hands in front of her and was so excited that she couldn't help herself: "Very well, it's all on me! I will definitely make the most of the pizza recipe I learned from my mother!"

Is this...a date?Claude smiled shyly and nodded embarrassedly.

Jessie covered her red face and dodged back into the house: "Then...see you tomorrow!"

Looking at the closed door, Claude slowly lowered his raised hand:

"Well, see you tomorrow."

..........................................

In the early morning of the next day, Avalanche's [Shinra Collapse Operation Plan] officially entered the second stage.

This time, their goal is the No. [-] Magic Furnace.Don't ask the reason, after all, the "Ultimate Plan" of the original Avalanche organization was sorted in this way. Barrett didn't know the reason, but he followed suit.

Claude originally didn't plan to continue participating, but couldn't bear Jesse's soft-spokenness, and Barrett used the money he was planning to pay Marlene's tuition as the second employment payment, and Claude agreed to the invitation without hesitation.

Seeing the four of Barrett and Claude gather at the gate of Seventh Heaven again, Heather, who was leaning against the gate, said impatiently: "I said, you guys don't use Seventh Heaven as a save point, change to another place what!"
