God of Systems: Maker of Heroes and Villains

Chapter 69: Seraphelle

"Well, thank you for your vote of confidence, I guess." he said, but he still stood my his own words and believed that if he didn't use all of his powers, then he really was the most useless in his group without the revolver.

"Anyways." he added, "What should we do with the money though? Should we give them to whoever is in charge of our team?"

Amelia nodded, "Yeah, just wait for Edward I guess. I'm not going to trust anyone else with my belongings."

Keith looked around and saw Edward walking towards his group with another lady right beside him. Unlike the regular female population in this world, she was muscular and could be compared to Brandon who was the most muscular in the group.

"Damn..." Keith blurted out, clearly impressed but then the possibility of it being the side effect of an awakened ability came to his mind, which dampened the impact.

Once Edward got close enough, he introduced the woman to the group.

"Well, four of you guys already know me but for the other three, I'm a part of Goddess of Protection, Goddess Seraphina's Church and I'm from the Protection Detective Department." he said and then pointed at the woman beside him.

"This esteemed lady is a Countess from Kazak Empire and is a Royal Knight while also holding the title of the Head Musician in the Church. She is a part of the Church of the Goddess of Art, Goddess Seraphelle and she is also named after the goddess."

"Head Musician..." Keith muttered, but Seraphelle managed to hear him.

She turned her gaze to him and asked with a stern look on her face, "Is there a problem, young man?"

"No, my lady. I was just wondering if I could learn something about music even though I'm a part of the Church of Protection, that's all. You see, I'm just very interested in learning the piano." He said, covering for himself immediately.

She silently stared at him for a while before nodding as a smile bloomed on her face, "You're free to visit our church any time you wish. It's not like anyone will stop you from learning music."

"It is as you said, my lady." Keith responded, "But I barely have any free time to spare as I've been focusing on trying to gain some muscle. When I first joined, I was basically just bones."

Seraphelle nodded slowly before looking at the others, "If you guys have anything that has been banned, please hand them over to us. I guarantee you that you'll get everything back perfectly."

"Everything other than food. We'll be eating all of that while we're with you." Edward added and she nodded before shifting her gaze back to Keith, "Keep persisting and one day you'll reach your goal."

"I will do my best." he said as he watched Amelia give her leather pouch to Edward while the others followed her, but Keith untied his leather pouch from his waist and handed it over to Seraphelle instead.

The reason for this was simple. He simply did not want to see her offended over minor things like the team's trust in her. Even if one person places their trust in her, then the difference could potentially be drastic.

'I'm sure Edward wouldn't hold it against me.' he thought as he looked at him, but Edward gave him a wink and went back to tying all the leather pouches to his waist.

Seraphelle did the same, but with just Keith's leather pouch. Once she was done, she looked at everyone and said, "Since this is done, Edward and I will go take all the food that's near your tent. Does any of you have revolvers or any kind of firearms?"

Keith raised his hand and right behind him, two people followed up. One was Amelia as Keith had already expected, but the other one was Caleb the wind guy.

"Alright, you'll be good to go as long as you hand over your weapons." Edward quipped in as he happily patted Clara's leather pouch, the one that had the most money in it with a wide grin on his face.

Even though he never had any plans to take the money for himself, the feeling of carrying so much money at the same time was exhilarating to him.

Just like Keith, Amelia and Caleb had their weapons on them, so they immediately handed them over to Edward but Keith did the same thing he did a few seconds before and gave his weapon to Seraphelle.

'Why don't these guys understand how much her support could help us?' he thought in his head as he looked at the others and sighed inwardly before following them back to the tent.

The work they had to do at the moment was to just dismantle the tent and fold the cloth to make it easy to carry. As for the other things, they were packed and ready to go as that was what they did the last night; packing.

Dismantling the tent and folding the cloth barely took them a few minutes but once they were done, Clara informed everyone of something important.

"I've heard of someone from the War Church having he ability to teleport things and people. If that does happen, I feel like it'll be better for every single one of us to have some kind of weapon in our hands."

Hearing her words, Keith nodded as he too had read about a woman from the war church having this ability, so the possibility of this happening wasn't too low.

"Sure, but feel free to pick a weapon without me. I can summon a sword along with my armor." Nathan said and grinned widely, while Caleb and Laura also refused to take any weapon.

When Keith insisted, they took out a pair of daggers from their inner pockets and showed them off.

"Ah.. alright." Keith said as he looked at the stuff they had bought a few days ago.

"Can I take a machete then?" he asked as he looked at Clara who had taken the responsibility of distributing the weapons.

She readily nodded and handed over one of the two machetes to him before giving him an extra dagger along with it, "We have a lot of daggers, so just keep it."
