foreigner's journey

Chapter 307 The Experience of Being Changed
It was already eight o'clock at night when we returned to the Xiacheng Station on Qifan Street, and the street lights had already been turned on.Although it was night, there were many people chatting around the station.

When Tifa just got out of the car, she attracted the attention of many people because of her beautiful appearance. Some idle young men even pulled their forehead hair back and prepared to strike up a conversation.But then, Heather appeared beside Tifa with a blank face.

Seeing Tifa talking and laughing with Heather, those young men stopped abruptly almost at the same moment, turned around and ran away.

Not just a few of them, almost everyone on the station who noticed Tifa subconsciously looked away.

In the Qifan Street slum, the name of [Heather] is much better than the vigilante team.

Like a lion king patrolling his territory, Heather looked around, and then walked towards the small market with Tifa.

When Heather left, the surrounding crowd began to whisper:

"Why did Heather go out? And she brought a beautiful girl with her that she had never seen before?"

"I saw that girl last night. She came with a strong old man, maybe a relative of Heather? After all, both of them have black hair."

"It's the first time I've seen Heather treat someone so kindly. The girl bumped his shoulder just now, but he didn't scold her!"

"Maybe it's his girlfriend? No... How could Heather have a girlfriend with her weird personality of avoiding strangers... not even me!"

"That girl looks so cute, haven't you noticed?"

"I found a fart, Heather is covering her, who dares to tease her? Do you dare?"

"Uh...what's for dinner tonight, go to Dimo ​​Restaurant?"

On the other side, Tifa also felt that something was wrong, and asked quietly while following Heather closely: "Brother, why do these people feel so afraid of you?"

Naturally, it was because I cleaned up all the thorns in the Qifan Street slum when I first came a year ago, the kind that saw blood.But in front of her lovely junior sister, Heather changed her rhetoric: "Because they respect me very much. The slums respect capable people, that's all."

"That's it?" The girl's voice was suspicious.

"Well, that's it." Faced with doubts, Heather replied frankly.

The two asked and answered, and soon walked near the small market.

Residents of the Qifan Street slums always eat late, mainly because many residents living in the slums work for Shinra Corporation.When the company leaves work, they can go home for dinner.And Shinra Company has always been strict with these low-level employees or non-staff staff, and it is already too early to go home after eight o'clock.

Taking care of this situation, the small market will also open very late. It is eight o'clock now, which is the time when the market is noisy and lively.

Heather took Tifa to wander around the market, and when they encountered vendors selling ingredients, they would stop to fight with each other.

Tifa found that although his brother was much richer than other people in the slums, he seemed to enjoy the feeling of going to the market and bargaining with vendors, and his bargaining skills were unexpectedly superb.

Soon, Heather had two bags full of ingredients in her hand, and even Tifa took advantage of Heather to buy some ingredients while he was haggling over the price, which was far below her psychological budget.

Facing the adoring eyes of her junior sister, Heather pretended to be natural: "These ingredients are still fresh, and they are good things from the upper city."

"I'll cook it when the time comes. I learned how to cook from Aunt Claudia when I was in Nibelheim, and my dad loves my cooking."

Tifa hasn't eaten properly for the past two days, and she is actually starving.This senior who has only been together for a day seems to be omnipotent. She was at a loss for the future and unconsciously felt at ease when she stayed by his side. Maybe this is why the master insisted on asking the senior to take care of herself?Brother is really amazing.

"But...brother, where should we go to cook these ingredients?" Tifa raised a key question. It seems that there is no luxury facility like [kitchen] in Tianwangzhuang's rented house.

Heather beckoned her to follow her closely, and came all the way to Tianwangzhuang.

Bang bang bang!
Heather slapped the door on the first floor of Tianwangzhuang rhythmically, and after a while the door opened, and the landlady, Marle, came out angrily: "Heather! Listen to this impolite knock on the door I knew it was you kid... Huh? Tifa is here too."

Marle looked at Tifa, who was holding a big bag and a small bag with an apologetic expression, and then looked at Heather, who had a natural expression, and understood that Heather had taken over the burden of taking care of Tifa, so she couldn't help but change her opinion of him a little, her tone It also became a little gentler: "Hmph... Is it a kitchen? Wait a minute, I'll deal with Tifa's rent contract first."

She walked into the room, and within half a minute, she came out with a piece of paper and handed it to Tifa: "Little Tifa, this is the rental contract. Take a look and sign it if there is no problem. The rent for the first three months is fine." Wait until you find a stable job and then make up slowly.”

Tifa hurriedly put the big and small bags on the ground, took the rental contract with both hands and thanked her repeatedly.Heather, who was standing beside Tifa, looked over her shoulder, frowned after glancing at the contract, and looked up at Marle: "Hey, old lady, are you going too far?"

"Huh?" Marlene snorted indifferently.

"Obviously it's the same house, renting it to me is 1500 GIL per month, how come it becomes 600 GIL per month when renting it to Tifa?"

海瑟一脸难以置信：“还有这条，‘可在每天11:00至13:00以及17：00至22:00免费借用厨房’，凭什么我要借用就要每次额外给你3GIL啊？”

"Heh heh heh... just take this as special treatment for being a good child."

Marle blinked at Tifa, who was blushing, and then looked at Heather with a look of disdain: "What, if it wasn't for the restriction of the rent contract I signed before, I would like to raise your rent to 2000 per month now! Have you borrowed the kitchen yet?"

"...For you to be ruthless, borrow!"

"Shenghui 3GIL." Ma Lei spread her palms with a smile.

Heather narrowed her eyes, looked at Tifa beside her, and suddenly stuffed two bags of ingredients into her arms: "Junior Sister, didn't you say that you want to pack today's dinner? Let Marle and I see your food." Let's cook."

Marle lost her temper in an instant. She just boasted that Haikou waived Tifa's kitchen rent, and she was immediately taken advantage of by Heather.

But Marle really had nothing to say to Tifa, even if she didn't deal with Heather, she had to swallow this breath and let the two borrow the kitchen for free.

In fact, even Heather didn't know that Tifa's experience under her butterfly wings was much better than the original.

In the supplementary plot of the original work that Heather didn’t know, Tifa was seriously injured in Nibelheim. In addition to the sword wound and broken ribs, there was also a severe burn on the lower right side of the chest. Gan disappeared for some reason.Alone, she was discharged from the hospital without complete treatment, and then lived in a container in the slums of Bafan Street as a hawker to make money to pay for the high medical expenses.Later, after meeting Barrett and Marlene, she decided to save up and buy the abandoned bar Seventh Heaven.

After finally saving enough money, it was stolen by the doctor's son.At the same time, the doctor in charge of Tifa took the before and after comparison photos of Tifa's chest wound as a promotional case in order to persuade Marle from the slums of Qifan Street to accept skin transplantation.Marle was very angry when she saw it, and felt that the doctor had seriously trampled on Tifa's dignity.

From then on, Marle began to protect Tifa, and took Tifa into Tianwangzhuang, which was not open to the public.And Tifa was also very moved to regard Marle as her relative.

But because of the appearance of Heather, everything has changed.

Fortunately, these are all good changes.

After Marle and Tifa walked into the house with the ingredients chatting and laughing, Heather didn't follow in but looked into the darkness in the alley next to her, and said coldly, "Come out."

"Don't be so indifferent, Brother Heather."

A figure slowly walked out of the darkness. It was a middle-aged man with brown hair pulled back. There was a short metal stick hanging from his waist. His exposed arm muscles were obviously not good.He was about to say a few more nonsense words, but when he saw Heather's emotionless eyes, he immediately raised his hands:

"I don't have any malice, I just bumped into you by accident when I came nearby. However, I do have something I want to discuss with you, I don't know..."

Heather raised her chin towards the alley and walked in first.The middle-aged man was obviously very afraid of Heather, but after touching the short metal stick at his waist, he gritted his teeth and followed into the alley.

There are only a lot of wild cats and industrial waste stones piled up randomly in the alley. Heather just stood in the alley, watching the middle-aged man approach with his hands in his pockets:
"Helmo, I should have already said it, I'm not interested in joining your ridiculous [Avalanche] organization, so don't bother me. You... don't understand human language?"

"Heather! Wait, I..."

As a warrior, the middle-aged man named Helmer could feel Heather's rising killing intent, and hastily raised his hands to indicate that he was completely harmless:

"I'm not here to bother you, although I really hope you can join [Avalanche], for which I can even give up the position of leader...Okay, okay, I said, it's the owner of the abandoned bar, I have news about him."

Heather was about to teach Helmer a profound lesson, but upon hearing that, she held off on her actions: "...Continue."

"The owner of the abandoned bar is called Kos. He was originally a rich man in Bafan Street, Shangcheng District. After being kicked out by his partner, he came to the slums of Qifan Street and opened this bar called [Wildfire]."

Helmer remained motionless with his hands raised high, and spoke the news he knew very quickly:
"He suspended the bar a year ago, and according to the fired waiter, he would occasionally hear Kos mumbling something about 'beasts', 'revenge', 'making big money' and the like. Kos has since disappeared, No one knows where he went, there was no sign of him here at the Wildfire pub or his friends and family."

"These are all nonsense, let's get to the point." Heather said impatiently.

"In fact, I just got the news through a reliable channel that Kos appeared in the Bafan Street slum two months ago."
