Chapter 192 Miss Jerusalem From the 3D Zone
Yukino's expression stiffened. Although she was a bit angry at Ram's words, she felt more helpless and silent.
Yukino knew she was being a bit of a 'holy mother' by saying this. But were the civilians of America really deserving of death?
The upper echelons of America made the mistakes, and the lower class civilians of America suffered the consequences and died. Was that really reasonable?
Those upper echelons could run away. They had access to superior medical conditions. Their chances of survival were definitely higher than those of the civilians. The civilians were purely implicated. No one knew how many would die.
[Natsuki: Yukino, the struggle between nations is just this cruel. Did the ordinary residents of Tokonosu City deserve to die?]
[Yukino: I just think we shouldn't cause even more harm. The dead cannot be revived. There's no need to create more casualties.]
[Ram: If you think the Cathedral of Notre Dame is too far, you can go to Leshan. There's a giant Buddha there. Ask it to stand up and give you its seat.]
[Kirari: If your parents, your relatives had died in Tokonosu City this time, would you still be able to say what you just said?]
Yukino's body shook. If her relatives had died in Tokonosu City, could she still say such a thing?
Realizing this, Yukino felt a sense of shame. She blushed and finally spoke in the chat group.
[Yukino: I'm sorry. I was too naive. I only thought about how many people had already died and didn't want more to die. But I forgot about the pain of the families of those who died. My thoughts would undoubtedly be another harm to those people.]
[Honami: We have no right to interject in this matter. We have no right to forgive anyone on anyone's behalf.]
While the discussion was ongoing in the chat group, Hakuto's plane had already landed at Los Santos Airport. (T/N: Yeah, it's indeed Los Santos.)
Walking out of Los Santos, Hakuto looked at the sun hanging in the sky, a smile on his face.
"Los Santos. Will this bustling city remain so bustling afterwards?"
Suddenly, Hakuto felt his body bumped. Looking at the guy who had bumped into him and walked away quickly, Hakuto frowned and found his wallet missing.
'Interesting.'
Hakuto immediately knew his wallet had been stolen by that pickpocket. But before he could act, a figure directly chased after him, subdued the little guy on the spot, and then handcuffed him. After that, she brought the little guy over to Hakuto.
"Hello. Is this your wallet?"
Seeing her, Hakuto's eyes widened. He subconsciously shouted, "Miss Jerusalem!"
She was stunned for a moment. Then she looked at Hakuto and retorted, "You've mistaken me for someone else. I'm not 'Miss Jerusalem'. My name is Tifa Lockhart. I'm a police officer with the Los Santos Police Department."
Hakuto looked at Tifa Lockhart and then reacted. "Sorry, sorry. Thank you so much, Miss Lockhart. If it weren't for you, I probably wouldn't have even noticed my wallet was stolen."
[I didn't expect to see Miss Jerusalem in Los Santos. Wow. Just as the West cannot do without Jerusalem, the 3D Zone cannot do without Tifa. I wonder if this Miss Jerusalem is from the 3D Zone or... But since we've met, I'll help her as much as I can.]
Hakuto looked at her and then asked with a smile, "As a thank you, I'd like to buy you a meal, Miss Lockhart. Do you have time?"
Tifa looked at Hakuto and gave a bright smile. Then she answered, "Sure. But just a meal. No dating."
Hearing this, Hakuto subconsciously asked, "Why?"
"Because I'm not looking for a boyfriend right now."
Hearing this, Hakuto said, "I thought you were already married or had a boyfriend."
Looking at Hakuto, Tifa smiled. "You're different from other Great Ming people. They're usually very reserved. But you're different. You're very direct. In fact, you could almost pass for an American."
"Yeah, I'm usually very reserved. But I become more proactive when I meet Miss Lockhart."
Tifa laughed. Then she said to Hakuto, "Alright. You've won my favor. Then meet me at this place tonight."
Tifa handed Hakuto a card, then left with the little guy. Hakuto watched her leave with a smile. Looking at the card, he found it was a business card for a restaurant.
He put the card away, found a hotel, put away his luggage, and sent a message to the girls in Japan that he had arrived safely.
Then Hakuto prepared to go buy some clothes.
He had a date with Tifa tonight. Hakuto wanted to make a good impression, so he needed to be appropriately dressed.
Soon, evening arrived. Hakuto found the restaurant using the address on the card. He went in, reserved a table, and waited for Tifa.
Around seven in the evening, Hakuto saw Tifa in a purple dress.
He stood up and waved to her. Soon, Tifa came over.
"Hmm, you came this early?"
"I forgot the agreed time, so I came at five. I didn't want to be late for a date with a beautiful lady."
Tifa chuckled. Then she looked at Hakuto and said, "You're very interesting. More interesting than any other Great Ming person I know."
"That's my pleasure."
Hakuto stood up and pulled out a chair for Tifa.
"Thank you."
After thanking him, Tifa sat down. Her bright smile made Hakuto lose focus for a moment.
