A foreigner's journey

With preparation this time, Heather would not have his personality subtly changed like in Monster Hunter World, but the unparalleled suppression made him feel as if he was suffocating as a fish out of water.

Under the watchful eye of the world's will, even the organizers of the Outlander Journey event no longer used fancy ways to show the world's missions in front of Heather, and were as quiet as if they didn't exist.

Unreliable things, you still have to rely on yourself in the end... Heather cursed in her heart, but all kinds of thoughts were racing in her mind.

Soon, Heather discovered the [threat] she posed in the eyes of the world's will - those forces that did not belong to this world. Thoughts, weapons collected from various worlds, domineering... If you rashly use these external forces that will be regarded as "invasive species" by the will of the world and have a sense of threat, you will incur a thunderous strike from the world.

If the world's pressure level is just high and we can still think of a way to do it, then there is really nothing we can do if we are constantly being targeted by the will of the world. Heather had just arrived and didn't even know which world this was, so she suffered this misfortune, and she couldn't express the pain in her heart.

At this time, some strong monsters that looked like giant wolves gathered around the wilderness. They looked hungrily at Heather who appeared alone in the wilderness, and vaguely blocked all of Heather's paths.

Do you have some wisdom and know how to outflank and observe the enemy's situation? And this body shape has nothing to do with [Wolf].

Even if he cannot use all extraordinary abilities, Heather is still undaunted. His super physique far beyond that of ordinary people is his best reliance. However, as soon as she came to this world, she was suddenly struck by the will of the world. Heather's face was very pale, and she looked like she was just recovering from a serious illness.

The demon wolves seemed to know how to read the prey's face before choosing their food. Seeing Heather looking sick and sick, they were eager to attack. But Heather, who seemed to be loose, had actually accumulated enough strength. As long as the wolves dared to attack him, he would kill them to the point of fear.

Just when the battle was about to break out, a loud shout suddenly approached rapidly from far to near.

Immediately afterwards, Heather saw a red figure turning into lightning and running rampant among the wolves. Every punch or kick would severely blow away a huge demon wolf, like a tiger entering a herd of sheep.

After losing more than a dozen demon wolves, a larger demon wolf that looked like a leader howled up to the sky, and the wolves evacuated decisively under its leadership.

Heather gathered her strength and felt lonely, feeling that all her experience points had been robbed, and looked at the red figure in confusion.

This is a burly man wearing a sleeveless red windbreaker, with a full beard and brown-black hair tied into a short ponytail. His body is full of muscles, and his face is full of self-confidence. He patted the non-existent gray eyes on his palm to send the wolves away, then turned to look at Heather, giving a thumbs up and laughing loudly:

"Young man, I'm amazed by your skeleton. Do you want to learn boxing from me?"

"...I'm tampering with you, uncle."

This is the first encounter between Heather and Zangan.

As you can guess next, Zangan found out that Heather was an unparalleled martial arts prodigy, so he kept pestering him to teach him Zangan style martial arts. However, because Heather could not use the power from other worlds, she urgently needed a skill that could be used in this world. The fighting techniques used in the world are almost in sync with each other.

It's just that because of the previous world, Heather didn't want to get involved too much with those who showed kindness to her, for fear of incurring a tragic end for them, so she kept saying strange things during the trip and behaved like a complete weirdo.

The two of them traveled aimlessly from the wilderness near Midgar, and finally arrived at [Wutai].

[Wutai] was once a very powerful country on this planet, but was unilaterally attacked by Shinra and started a nine-year war. Eventually, Wutai was occupied by Shinra and transformed into a scenic spot.

Heather and Zangan accidentally triggered a series of incidents on Wutai, but they had huge differences in the handling of the final incident. Zangan had no choice but to harm Heather's interests for the sake of morality in his heart. Although Heather didn't really care in her heart, she found that this was a good opportunity to break up with Zangan, so she pretended to be angry and announced that she was severing her relationship with Zangan. relationship and left Wutai angrily.

After leaving Wutai, Heather went around in circles, and finally came to the slums of Qifan Street in Midgar to start living in seclusion.

Zangan felt that he owed his disciple Heather, and continued traveling in despair. As a result, he discovered Tifa when he stopped in Nibelheim and accepted her as his disciple.

Then, there is the plot that everyone knows.

Now, Heather was sitting boredly in the rest area of ​​the daily necessities store on the third floor, watching Tifa's figure shuttle back and forth between the containers.

Except for knowing that the current timeline is five years ago in the main plot, all other related plots are completely unclear. Who told SE not to complete the relevant plot?

While Heather was thinking wildly, Tifa also finished paying the bill. She ran over to Heather excitedly with a large bag of things in her arms, her pretty face flushed, attracting sneak glances from the men around her.

"Senior brother, there are so many things here, much more prosperous than Nibelheim."

After all, Tifa's hometown of Nibelheim is just a remote mountain village. As a small village girl, how has she ever seen the bustling shopping malls of big cities? Just browsing the daily necessities section is almost overwhelming.

Heather took the wallet handed over by Tifa and put it back into her pocket without even looking at it, then planned to check whether Tifa had bought everything. But the girl reacted quickly and tightly held the plastic bag in her arms to prevent Heather from checking it, her face turned red.

"No... unnecessary reaction."

Heather curled her lips and said, "Let's go, we should be able to catch the train back to the lower part of Qifan Street."

"Yes." Tifa hugged the package and followed Heather step by step.

The two of them walked through the bustling district of Bafan Street. The girl tried not to let her eyes be attracted by the colorful billboards and towering luxury buildings. She lowered her head slightly and followed closely behind Heather. Even so, there were I almost lost Heather several times.

Heather seemed to notice this and slowed down slightly.

The train station in the downtown area of ​​​​Bafan Street is luxuriously decorated, and even the floor is made of shiny marble. Heather bought two tickets and then boarded the train with Tifa. With a slight sway, the train began to circle Midgar in a spiral track toward the lower city.

About halfway through the journey, red light suddenly flashed three times in the car from the front to the rear. The red light filtered through everyone in the car, including Heather and Tifa who were sitting in their seats.

Tifa had been scanned by a red light once before when she was riding in a car with Zangan, but she didn't ask because she was in a low mood at the time. This time she curiously asked Heather: "Brother, what is this red light for?"

"The train just passed through a specific scanning level. These three red lights will scan the ID cards of everyone in the carriage one by one, and the confirmed contents are [Year, Month, Day of Speech], [Residence Permit Category], and [Reward and Punishment Record]. Passengers are compared to a central database that holds all data to maintain law and order."

Heather yawned: "Your residence permit should be a temporary card that Zangan helped you get. Once the statute of limitations expires, you cannot take the train to the uptown area at will, otherwise you will be arrested."

"well?"

Tifa didn't expect that Midgar, which seemed peaceful, had such a strict hierarchy: "What about you, senior brother?"

Heather spread her hands: "Me? I have a permanent residence permit, and I live in the lower city just out of interest. Of course, the housing prices in the upper city are also a big reason."

At this point, Heather couldn't help but become a little more serious: "Speaking of which, you should consider what kind of job to find, junior sister. In Midgar, everyone must have his or her own position."

Tifa felt a little uneasy, lowered her head subconsciously, and rubbed her red sneakers against the ground of the carriage: "I, I don't know what I am suitable for, but I will try my best to find a job when I go back."
