…
Because it was still morning, there were naturally no customers in the Seventh Heaven Bar. Only Tifa was inside using the manifest to count the newly delivered drinks and food.
At this time, she heard footsteps coming from the door, and said without raising her head: "I'm sorry, it's not business hours yet, please come back later!"
"Then let's come back later?" Shen Ye had already composed himself halfway and asked with a smile.
Hearing Shen Ye's voice, Tifa immediately dropped the list and pen in her hand, looked up in surprise, opened her arms and was about to fly over.
Then she saw Aerith standing next to Shen Ye, and she froze in place.
"You can pretend I don't exist." Aerith crossed her arms and said with a smile.
"But I'm not blind!" Tifa curled her lips, picked up the invoice and pen on the ground, put them on the counter, and said, "Sit down for a while, I'll make you some tea."
"Yeah!" Shen Ye nodded, and he and Aerith found a table near the back and sat down.
Not long after, Tifa came over with hot tea, put down the cup, and sat opposite Shen Ye.
Shen Ye picked up the teacup and took a sip, but it was too hot for him to taste, so he simply put the cup down and asked, "Why are you alone? Where's Jessie?"
He knew that Jessie would come to the bar to help Tifa when he was free. After all, the entire Avalanche team basically relied on the money Tifa earned from running the bar to support its operations.
"Barret and the other police officers have gone out to maintain law and order, so ask Jesse to help send Marlene to school. She will be back soon." Tifa said, supporting her chin with one hand, looking at Shen Ye.
"Oh, no wonder." Shen Ye showed an understanding expression. Barret and his men were the vigilantes of the Seventh District. Although their salaries were not high, they had a lot to do. However, this also gave them a high reputation in the Seventh District and they were very respected.
"What about Cloud? That guy eats and lives for free at your place, but never thought of coming over to help?" Shen Ye asked, glancing inside the bar.
Tifa noticed that Aerith suddenly had a strange expression on her face when she heard the name Cloud, but she didn't care much. She just snorted and said, "That guy went out early in the morning, saying he was looking for a job. Now he's either helping an old lady find a dog, or helping others clean up the monsters that invaded the city."
"He is indeed a qualified mercenary. He can never rest for a moment!" Shen Ye sighed.
"By the way, you came here so early, aren't you just here to talk to me about this?" Tifa looked at Aerith with some confusion. If only Shen Ye came here alone, she would definitely not ask this.
"Of course not." Shen Ye shook his head, glanced at Aerith and said, "She came here for her work."
"She? Work?" Tifa was even more confused and turned to ask Aerith: "Aren't you selling flowers?"
"Something happened early this morning. My flower garden was destroyed. I... lost my job." Aerith said helplessly, "In order to have a full meal, I want to ask if you are still hiring."
How could you be hungry with Shen here? Although she thought so in her heart, Tifa still said: "If you want to recruit people, it's okay, but my small bar can't afford to pay a high salary."
"It doesn't have to be high, just give it as you see fit." Aerith said indifferently. She wasn't really doing it for that so-called salary anyway.
However, she herself didn't know why she was doing this. Perhaps she wanted to experience a new life?
"In that case, you can actually start work now." Tifa nodded, and then she remembered something: "But we usually stay open until very late here. Although it won't be very tiring, if you go home alone then..."
"Don't worry, Shen will take me there, nothing will happen." Aerith said with a smile.
Tifa was stunned for a moment, the expression on her face changed from confusion to surprise, and finally she pouted as if she was a little angry.
Of course, she also thought of what Shen Ye had thought of before.
Shifting her gaze from Aerith's face to Shen Ye's face, Tifa noticed that the other party was also looking at her. In an instant, a large amount of information was exchanged through eye contact, and then the two of them nodded slightly at the same time.
It's time for Aerith to move to Block 7!
…
Although Aerith had finished her work, the three of them still sat there chatting, and soon the topic turned to Shen Ye.
Because Shen Ye would usually accompany Aerith to sell flowers at night, and now that Aerith was no longer selling flowers, he naturally had some free time. Aerith and Tifa simply discussed and decided to let Shen Ye work in the bar as well.
Of course Shen Ye refused, and kept saying that he wanted to find a more manly job, such as becoming a mercenary like Cloud.
"What's so good about being a mercenary? You run around all day and never go home." Tifa was very opposed to Shen Ye becoming a mercenary, for fear that he would suddenly disappear for several years.
Aerith also disagreed, and even her reasons and ideas were the same as Tifa's.
How could Shen Ye not guess what the two girls were thinking? He said to them, "I'm not a mercenary running around the world. I'm a Midgar City Hunter who helps people solve their problems right here in this city."
He then continued: "I can hang a sign at the door of the bar to attract people who need help, and help others with small tasks while also bringing some popularity to the bar. And the most I do is to clear out the monsters that invade the city, or help others deliver things, but I won't leave the city."
After hearing his words, the two women looked at each other, and suddenly felt that this was okay. After each of them pondered for a moment, they nodded in agreement.
"Wow! Shen, Aerith, why are you here?"
Just as the three of them were discussing how to proceed with their work, Jessie finally came back.
Probably because she was sending Marlene to school, she was not wearing the annoying breastplate at this moment. Instead, she was wearing a casual outfit. However, the slightly loose top did not hide her exquisite figure. Her towering and majestic breasts looked no worse than Aerith's.
"We are here to find a job." Aerith immediately explained to Jesse.
After hearing what Aerith said, Jessie waved his fist in surprise: "Great, this way my workload will be less."
"It's not a big workload usually, Jesse." Tifa said dissatisfiedly. Even without Jessie's help, she could usually take care of it by herself.
"Oh, the less the better!" Jessie didn't care about Tifa's tone at all. She walked over to her and sat down. Then she glanced at Shen Ye from time to time, but because Aerith was here, she looked away every time she glanced.
