foreigner's journey

Chapter 318 Happy Birthday
When Heather and Tifa returned to Tianwangzhuang, it happened that Marle arrived at the door on the first floor with the old dog Doduo.

"Little Tifa came back so early today...Huh?"

Marle noticed Tifa's red eyes and the tears that hadn't been completely wiped away, and immediately flew into a rage: "What did you do to Tifa!? How did you make her cry!"

"It's not me! Don't talk nonsense!" Heather hurriedly yelled at Qu: "Open the door quickly, old woman, and go into the room and talk."

After entering the room, Marle immediately chased Heather away, put her arms around Tifa's shoulders, took her to sit at the table, and softly comforted her.

Heather and the old dog Duoduo looked at each other, and Douduo walked slowly towards the kennel in the back room wagging his tail, while Heather shrugged his shoulders and cooked a pot of hot water and started making tea.

When he was furious just now, he subconsciously mobilized his mind energy to manifest [Narakugawa], but he was targeted by the will of the planet again.Now he is quite uncomfortable, feeling that this planet is like a voyeur who is squinting and staring at him from 360 degrees without blind spots. Isn't it too perverted for the planet's will to be so active?
On the other hand, Tifa was talking intermittently about what happened after she got back from the Wild Rose Bar.

At the end, Marle couldn't help laughing: "Silly boy, how could we move suddenly without notifying you?"

At this time, Tifa also knew that she had made a big mistake, so she covered her blushing face and said in a low voice, "But, what that person named Wei Ji said was too plausible, so I believed it..."

"Heather and I did go to the Chocobo consignment station to transport a lot of goods. Those were the dilapidated furniture and old facilities in the Wildfire Bar, which were not suitable for further use. Rather than throwing them away directly, it is better to contact the waste The merchant sold some money, so Heather contacted the boss Manson in Bafan Street, and the other party ate the goods at a moderate price."

"That bar is..." Tifa suddenly remembered what Naya told herself, the villain named Kos who was killed by his senior brother, this bar is his property.

Marle pointed to Heather who was making tea: "Heath bought the Wildfire Bar. Although the fixed loan needs to be repaid to the carpenter who is the builder every month, the property rights of the Wildfire Bar have already belonged to Sea under Sir's name."

Heather raised her teacup to the two of them: "A down payment of 20 GIL is a very cheap price, isn't it?"

"You've already emptied your pockets, so don't pretend to be a rich young master." Grandma Marle said disdainfully.

"Tsk..." Heather stopped talking, holding the teacup and blowing the hot air on the rim.

A big rock fell from the bottom of Tifa's heart, and the senior brother didn't intend to leave him.Speaking of which, my brother is the owner of that bar, if I continue to work hard to learn bartending skills, can I help my brother?

Thinking of this, Tifa looked at Heather with hope.

Heather said without raising her head, "I'll give you another month to learn all the bartending techniques from Naya's blond-haired boy, and the position of chief bartender will be reserved for you."

"Yeah!" Tifa's big eyes curled up in laughter.

Marle sneered: "I'm going to ask Tifa to help you tomorrow morning, so why don't you speak nicely? Apart from Tifa, can you find a second bartender who is trustworthy and skilled? Leave us alone." In those days, you were called [A Not Cute Tsundere Man]!"

Heather became furious after being scolded: "Stop talking nonsense! You old woman, you might as well get the birthday cake if you have time to talk!"

Originally Tifa was still covering her mouth and giggling, but when she heard 'birthday cake' she subconsciously sat up straight, birthday cake?

Snapped!A wrapped box was thrown onto the table in front of Tifa, and Heather folded her arms and turned her head aside: "Here, a birthday present."

Brother, remember your birthday!Tifa held the box in her arms and looked at Heather with red eyes.

At this time, Marle also came out of the kitchen with a cream cake: "The Kemu cake I just bought from Wufan Street is delicious. Happy birthday to you, little Tifa!"

"Thank you, Granny Marle." Tifa's voice was choked with sobs.

Tifa shared the cake with everyone, and Grandma Marle sang a birthday song for herself. Under the pressure of Grandma Marle, the senior brother sang a few lines of birthday song perfunctorily and then refused to sing any more. He just buried his head in eating the cake Pretend not to hear.

Warmth filled the atrium, and Tifa felt her heart was filled completely again.

In the slums of Midgar, he regained his family.

After eating the cake, Grandma Marle urged Tifa to unwrap Heather's birthday present.Tifa was also impatiently curious, and couldn't help but look to Heather for advice.

Heather looked very impatient: "Look what I am doing? This thing has been given to you, it is up to you to disassemble it or throw it away."

Tifa, who had already figured out Heather's temper, pursed her lips and smiled, tearing open the packaging of the box expectantly, and then opened the lid.

I saw a pair of black fingerless gloves in the box. The fist bone of the glove was inlaid with metal plates, the back of the hand was covered with a strange metal guard, and the wrist was fixed with a metal bracelet.At the cuff of the right glove are two conjoined holes indented with green and blue gleams.

Tifa lovingly stroked the gloves in the box, seeing that the size felt just right for her hand.

"The leather glove made from Wutai is a very popular hand-held weapon for fighters at Wutai. [Cold Qi] and [Attribute] have been entrusted to Wufan Street weapon craftsmen to inlay on it, and there is still one [Qi Gua] 】In the future, you can control the three magic crystal stones before inlaying them."

Heather signaled Tifa to put on the glove: "Try it on. The right hand is your dominant hand. It is more appropriate to inlay the magic spar on the right glove."

These three magic crystals are useless to Heather himself. He can take down most of the enemies in this world with just a knife.When encountering a strong enemy that cannot be dealt with, it is a big deal to resort to a murderous knife and throw the table to run away. Rather than keeping the magic spar for use, it is better to seal it in a weapon and hand it to Tifa.

Anyway, I can only choose one. If I really want to use the [Mythical Weapon Catalog] to recast the magic spar, I have a better goal.

Tifa slipped on the gloves, which were just the right size.Usually there is no response to touching objects normally, but if you swing your fist with the consciousness of hitting the enemy, the two magic crystals on the glove will burst out with energy, and every punch will bring a piercing frost power.

She touched the glove and couldn't help saying, "I like it very much, thank you brother!"

Heather couldn't help but smile too:
"……Happy birthday."

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

That night, Tifa lay on the bed with the gloves in her arms, tossing and turning.

I still think of the fire, and I still think of my father and mother.But for some reason, the figure of the water tower under the night sky and the blond boy with the ponytail no longer lingered in my mind.

Yes, I... am not alone.
