A foreigner's journey

Jesse rushed forward and circled around Claude, covering his mouth in disbelief, his beautiful big eyes full of surprise.

Cloud stiffened at her sight and looked at Tifa searchingly.

Before Tifa could speak, Jesse looked at Tifa first and asked, "Tifa, who is this handsome blond guy? Is he the newly hired bar bouncer?"

There was uncontrollable surprise and excitement in his tone.

That's right, Jesse couldn't walk when he saw a handsome guy, not to mention that a good looks like Claude was very rare in Midgar. Thinking of this, Tifa quickly explained Cloud's origin to Jesse.

Behind Jesse, Biggs and Weggie looked at each other and shrugged.

"Wanshiwuwu... Let's talk about it. Aren't Biggs and Weggie members of the vigilante team? Let them help you promote it in the streets. You won't be afraid of losing business."

When it came to handsome guys, Jesse's mind was spinning very fast, and he looked at Claude and the giant sword behind him carefully as he pondered:

"Well, you look very reliable. You are also a legendary 1st warrior. So you must be very skilled, right? Do you want to take on dangerous business?"

Claude nodded: "As long as the reward is enough."

Jesse looked at Barrett: "Hey, Barrett, weren't you worried about not being able to find enough manpower yesterday?"

"Huh?" Barrett touched his head, confused.

"That's it!" Jesse closed his hands and spread them out with a bang to simulate an explosion.

Barrett suddenly realized: "Oh! Yes, we can't complete that plan with so many people. Have you found a helper? It needs to be [skillful] and [reliable enough]. It's hard to find such a helper."

"Clang, clang, clang, clang~~" Jesse put his hands on Claude's shoulders and pushed him in the direction of Barrett: "Isn't there a ready-made mercenary? As a 1st Shinra warrior, he must meet the [Skills] Jianjian], he is Tifa’s hometown friend and has betrayed the Shinra Company, so he is also [reliable enough]. What else is there to be dissatisfied with?”

"Wait a minute, I haven't agreed yet."

Claude broke away from Jesse's hands, frowned slightly and looked at this overly beautiful beauty with a high nose and oval face:

"I will consider whether to take it on only if I know the content of the task, and I haven't negotiated the remuneration yet."

Jesse raised two fingers: "2000 GIL, how about it? The employment time will not exceed one day at most, and the mission content is that you will cover us to complete a confidential mission. I can guarantee that the difficulty of the mission will be simple for you, a former 1st soldier. , the details of the mission will be informed to you after you confirm the mission, okay?"

2000 GIL... This was a very attractive amount for Claude, who didn't even have 1 GIL in his pocket. This made him not refuse the invitation directly, but lowered his head and fell into deep thought.

At an angle that he didn't notice, Barrett gestured to Jesse in surprise and said silently - 2000? Are you crazy? Where do we get so much money?

Jesse smiled and gestured with his lips and said - Don't worry, the day after tomorrow is the payment day for the water purifier, so 2000 GIL is no problem at all.

As if seeing Cloud's hesitation, Tifa came out from behind the bar and whispered to him: "2000 GIL is enough for an adult to live in the Qifan Street slums for a month, provided that he does not live in a particularly expensive residential building. Or an apartment. Senior brother will help you contact a suitable place to live, think about it, Claude?"

If Cloud is a 1st warrior, his strength is indeed enough to dominate most areas of Midgar, and Tifa also hopes that this friend from her hometown can live in Midgar.

After hearing Tifa's words, Cloud suddenly made a decision and nodded slightly to Barrett and Jesse: "I accepted the mission, when will it start?"

"One week..."

"Leave tomorrow!"

Before Jessie could say 'a week later', she was interrupted by Barrett. Both she, Biggs and Weggie looked surprised: "Tomorrow? So soon?"

Barrett proudly took out a piece of paper from the inner pocket of his tactical vest and shook it: "I have obtained the freight train schedule for the No. 1 Mako Reactor. There happens to be a freight train from Junong tomorrow. I don’t know how long it will take if I wait any longer. It’ll be tomorrow!”

Magic furnace No. 1? Claude felt that he was involved in some terrible incident, and quickly asked: "Wait a minute, you haven't said what the mission is yet?"

"Oh, we are going to blow up the No. 1 Mako Reactor in Midgar." Barrett said lightly, as if he was going to eat pineapple bacon pizza at Dimo's restaurant.

Jesse tilted his head and looked at Claude: "Is it okay? Don't you hate Shinra Company too?"

This is really not a problem for Cloud, because he also hates Shinra Company very much, and there is no psychological pressure at all against them, not to mention...

Cloud glanced at Tifa beside him, and then nodded coldly to Jesse: "...No problem. I said, as long as the reward is right, I can complete any dangerous mission. So, the meeting time and place ?”

"Tomorrow at 4 o'clock sharp, meet at the gate of Seventh Heaven." Barrett's style is to be resolute, and he has arranged the mission schedule in the blink of an eye.

Biggs and Wiggy were gearing up to go back and organize their guns and equipment to prepare for tomorrow's battle. Jesse ran a few steps and hugged Tifa: "Tifa, come on?"

With that said, she pushed Tifa into the lounge inside and closed the door.

"What's the matter, Jesse?" Seeing Jesse being sneaky, Tifa lowered her voice involuntarily.

Jesse held Tifa's shoulders with a serious face and said in a sincere and serious tone: "Tifa, am I your good sister?"

"Yes." Tifa was surprised why Jesse asked.

"Second question, Tifa, do you like Cloud?" Jesse said, pouting towards the door.

Tifa was stunned for a moment and shook her head slowly: "Jesse, you know who I like. Claude is my hometown friend when I was a child, that's all."

"But I think his attitude towards you is very unusual?" Jesse was still asking.

Tifa became more and more strange: "Jesse, what on earth do you want to say?"

Jesse took two deep breaths and then said: "Tifa, I want Cloud to be my boyfriend."

"well--??"

Tifa realized that her exclamation was too loud, so she quickly covered her mouth and lowered her voice: "Are you serious Jesse? It's been less than 5 minutes since you met Cloud, right?"

"For the first time in my life, I fell in love at first sight. I felt that this was God's arrangement."

Jesse clasped his hands in front of his chest, with an intoxicated look on his face: "Since he is a former 1st warrior, with his strength, he has no problem opening a master house to make money or protecting me. He also looks very reliable and has a charming aura." Cold style. The most important thing is his face... Oh my god, even the most popular male star in the troupe can't match his looks! We can't call him [handsome], but we should call him [beautiful]!"

As she said that, she hugged Tifa and rubbed her head against her chest: "Tifa, my good sister! This is my lifetime request. Please help me catch Cloud!"

"How can I, I, I help you? I'm still helpless!" Tifa didn't know whether to laugh or cry. If she had this ability, would she still be able to compete with Alice?

"I want to know everything about Claude's past! His hobbies, his past love history... It's the first time in my life that I want to have a boyfriend. I can count on you for all my future happiness!"

"Even if you say so, I still..."

In the lounge, Jesse was pestering Tifa like an octopus, not letting go until the other party agreed.

In the hall outside the house, Claude found Heather who was standing in front of the stove patiently stirring the chicken curry in the soup pot.
