A foreigner's journey

When Heather looked up, she saw stars dotting the night sky, and the bright full moon shed gentle and cool moonlight.

Under the moonlight, the rolling hills are covered by an endless sea of ​​white reeds. The reeds, which are half a man tall, are swaying with waves in the night wind.

There were no birds or insects, just the rustling of reeds.

The night breeze was slightly cool, and Heather stood on the top of the hill, looking quietly into the distance.

Across the endless sea of ​​white reeds, on the distant hill at the other end, among the reeds half as tall as a person, stood a tall blond woman.

Heather couldn't see her face clearly, and could only vaguely see that she was wearing a pure white dress, with her waist-length golden hair swaying in the wind.

Although she couldn't see her face clearly, Heather could see her blue eyes staring at her from a distance.

She opened her lips slightly, as if she wanted to say something.

Then Heather woke up.

Looking at the familiar ceiling, Heather sat up from the bed and shook her head. She had had this dream occasionally in recent years. The contents of the dreams are exactly the same. They both wake up right when the blond woman is about to say something. Is this foreshadowing something?

Bang! Bang! Bang!

At this time, the door was knocked hurriedly, and Tifa's voice came from outside the door: "Senior brother! Senior brother!"

Heather glanced at the clock beside her bed. Five o'clock in the morning? He walked over and opened the door, with a confused tone: "Tifa, what's wrong?"

Tifa was seen wearing cute pink bear pajamas, and the smiling bear pattern on her chest was a little deformed. She whispered in a panic: "Barrett and the others are back, I asked them to go to Seventh Heaven... The situation, the situation doesn’t seem good!”

It's not good. We were ambushed by Shinra Company? Heather originally didn't want to get involved with Avalanche, but Tifa couldn't help worrying so much, so she had no choice but to push Tifa to her own room: "You change clothes first, and I'll go take a look."

"B-but..."

"obedient."

"……Um."

Seeing Tifa close the door, Heather put on a coat and went downstairs.

Tianwang Village is very close to Seventh Heaven. When he walked outside, he found that the lights in the bar hall were on. When he opened the door, he saw Xue Beng people who were all injured and in a very embarrassed state.

Barrett had a lot of scars on his body and looked disgraced; Biggs was covering his shoulder, with blood spilling from his fingers; Weggie was sitting on his knees on the ground, placing the medical kit in front of him, and was anxiously looking for healing ointments. ; Jesse seemed to be the least injured among them. She was getting a glass and a kettle behind the bar.

They were shocked at first when they heard the sound of the door being pushed open, but were relieved when they found out it was Heather.

"Sorry, the floor was stained. I'll come over and clean it up later...hiss!" Biggs pointed to the blood dripping on the floor. He just smiled but then he grinned in pain because of the wound.

Heather walked over and kicked the medicine box: "The brown bottle on the left, don't apply too much at one time. After the bleeding has stopped, use the gauze and anti-inflammatory medicine in the lower compartment."

Wei Ji almost burst into tears: "Brother Hai, Hai Se!"

"Things don't seem to be going well? Did Shinra Company hold a welcome party for you? Tsk tsk, that's so enthusiastic."

Heather sat on a chair nearby and said in a sarcastic tone.

Barrett hammered the floor with his fist and said through gritted teeth: "Those bastards from Shinra Company actually used Avalanche as bait to talk about 'inciting hostility and propaganda,' turning Avalanche into a terrorist with malicious intent in the hearts of the people! "

"Oh? Aren't you?" Heather tilted her head: "The bombed Mako Reactor No. 1 is crying. By the way, is the No. 5 Mako Reactor finished?"

"It blew up, but it was not our fault, but Shinra's own doing... We were completely used by Shinra Corporation, and the 'preview of blowing up the No. 5 Mako Reactor' became a way for them to manipulate public opinion at will. Tool of."

Jesse behind the bar looked frustrated: "We tried our best to escape from Mako Reactor No. 5, and Claude..."

Heather seemed to realize that Claude was not here at this moment: "Oh, the mercenary disappeared, died in the battle?"

Hearing Heather's words, no one present refuted, but fell into silence.

For a long time, Barrett pretended to be strong and forced a smile: "That guy is a 'former 1st soldier', and his life is very tough! Maybe he is leisurely picking up girls in Midgar now, and he uses this experience as a Talking money!"

At this time, Tifa's voice came from the direction of the door: "Claude...hasn't come back?"

Her face turned a little pale. Although she didn't have a mutual affection with Claude in the original work, Claude may be her only friend from the same hometown in this world. She suddenly heard the bad news about her friend, which was hard for Tifa to accept.

"In order to cover our departure from the gunfire of the guard machine, he fell from the edge of the No. 5 Mako Reactor... But I saw that he used a grappling claw when he fell. Maybe he would just fall to a safe place. Maybe?"

Biggs wanted to comfort Tifa, but his voice became lower and lower. He himself did not believe that Cloud would be unharmed after falling from the 300-meter-high steel disc.

"In short, Shinra Company has announced that Xue Beng is a terrorist sent by the enemy Wutai. We must be prepared for the worst."

Barrett stood up and looked at Heather: "It has caused a lot of trouble for you and Tifa for so long. We will leave Qifan Street as soon as possible to find a suitable hiding place."

"Wait a minute, if you leave now, where can you go? Think about Marlene, do you want her to be scared with you?"

Having been with Barrett for three years, Tifa has already regarded Barrett, Marlene and Jesse as trustworthy family members. Biggs and Wiggy are also very close friends. She can't bear to see them being deceived like this. Luo Company and even the entire Midgar wanted to hunt him down, and looked at Heather for help.

In her heart, as long as her senior brother is here, she will be able to solve all problems.

Heather clicked her tongue and waved her hand: "Let's live in the basement of the bar first. Shinra's hands can't reach Qifan Street yet."

"...Thank you." Barrett nodded heavily.

Tifa saw Jesse's eyes were red, and she couldn't help but feel sorry for her when she remembered the declaration of love her best friend made not long ago. She walked over and held Jesse in her arms, gently stroking her back.

Heather stood up and stretched, glanced at Jesse who had his head buried in Tifa's chest, and said impatiently: "Stop crying, I think Mr. Mercenary deserves to die."

"Really?" Jesse suddenly poked her head from Tifa's chest. She knew that Heather never used nonsense to appease others, so he must have a deep understanding of what he said.

Heather walked up to Biggs and knelt down. She picked up the gauze and bandaged him and said casually:

"Considering that Mr. Mercenary fell from the No. 5 Mako Reactor, maybe he is already near the Wufan Street Slums."

"Fifth Street...?"

Tifa and Jesse looked at each other, remembering someone.
