God of Systems: Maker of Heroes and Villains

Keith wanted to take a nap, but he knew that his sister would move the next day so he needed to find a new place to sleep and he had to do it as soon as possible. But before that, he had something else to do.

He headed over to the church's treasury and was greeted by a familiar face, a lose, wrinkly skinned guy who looked old, but wasn't.

"Hello, I'm here to get the salaries for my team. Two of us got a job change from detectives to Inquisitor and one of us got promoted from trainee inquisitor to inquisitor. Here's the official salaries for us that was decided and stamped by archbishop Maria." he said and placed a paper on the counter.

Storekeeper read the contents and nodded, "Job change, you'll get five chrons each but nothing for promotion. Also, if you need anything else, don't hesitate to tell me about it. We'll take care of the costs of housing for you and your team, but the weekly rent shouldn't exceed one zen per person."

"Oh, that's some good news. We're searching for a place that we can use as both an office and living quarters so it should be useful." Keith said as he watched the store keeper walk towards a bronze box.

He fished out some golden yellow notes that had the number "1" on them and once he counted to ten, he stopped and moved to another box before he began to count the silvery grey Zen notes.

Once done, he brought them all to Keith and placed them on the counter, "Here you go. Ten chrons for the new inquisitors and forty six zen, which is the weekly salary for your team. Once you have the papers for your new place, make sure you bring it to me if you want to claim the benefits. Good luck."

Keith smiled and took the money before he left the place. First, he roamed over the church and found the trio training in training grounds along with the knights.

"Hey, we're going to scout some places. Feel free to join me but if you're not coming, don't complain about not liking the place later on." he said and the three of them immediately left whatever they were doing and decided to tag along.

Next, he headed over to Clara and Amelia's living quarters and took Clara with him too.

"So, to get things straight, let's make up our minds about what we need. Three bedrooms is a necessary thing and we also need a large room that we can use as our office." Keith said as he looked at his teammates who were walking beside him.

Laura nodded in response to his words, "Right, I'll share a room with Clara while Caleb and Nolan can take one room. As the team leader, I guess you'll get the master bedroom.

I've heard of some large houses that have big study rooms or workshops since most of the previous owners were rich hobbyists or business people who needed a large room to work in."

Clara gave her a surprised look, "How did you learn so many things in such a short time? Like you arrived at this place recently."

"I mean, I have a mouth to ask questions.. and I did pester quite a lot of people so yeah. Anyways, the housing aside, shouldn't we all take responsibility for some of the chores? I don't want to see one person getting pushed to do all the work." she said as she glanced at Caleb, giving him a worried look.

Keith silently walked as he pushed his hands into his trench coat's pockets and listened to their words.

"I... I think it'll be better for one person to take care of the chores right? It'll cause less chaos that way."

Before the discussion spiralled into an argument, Keith spoke, "We'll do things differently. All we gotta do is hire a maid to keep the house clean, wash the dishes and to do the laundry. Though, when it comes to cooking, I'm hoping that some of you can cook."n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om

"I can cook." Clara said first while Laura and Caleb quipped in too.

Keith turned to look at Nolan who smiled sheepishly, "Um... you see, when we were small, Laura was the one who learnt cooking on her own. She taught Caleb but refused to let me into the kitchen for some reason. Even though Caleb wasn't really a good cook."

Hearing this, Keith turned to look at Laura whose face went slightly pink but she kept a straight face, "I didn't like Nolan back then. He was... a weirdo."

He didn't need to know more and simply looked ahead, "It's fine. I can cook too so having one person who can't cook is fine. We can just send him to do the chores for us instead. On top of that, we need a budget planner so that we don't go around fighting based on who put in more money on food and whatnot."

Nathan rubbed his chin and pondered loudly, "Hmm... so everyone has to donate a certain amount of money huh? How much and who'll be in charge of this?"

"Caleb. I think he'll do a good job and as for the budget... I want us to eat well, so ten braks each per week. Though, most of the money will go towards fat tallow and meat." he said as he knew that most flours and grains were pretty cheap. Rice was pricier in Kazak empire as most people did not grow them.

"Oh yeah." Keith said as he remembered about their salaries and took out the money before distributing everything.

Ten Zen for Clara and Nolan along with Three Zen for Caleb and Laura while he kept twenty Zen for himself.

He then continued to discuss about their office until he reached the place that had a board that said, "Happy Home Dealers! We will find you the perfect home for your needs."
