Novel Wait
Chapter 147 A Hug And Two Revolvers
Keith took them to the same place where he had originally bought his revolver and greeted the man behind the counter.
"Hey General Bett! Nice to see you again. I gotta tell you, the revolver you gifted me has helped a lot." he said as he walked towards the counter before adding, "I'm here to buy some revolvers for my friends, but I also have another request. I want to meet the gunsmith who created my revolver... what was his name again? Avin Bramos?"n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
"Alvlin Bragus." Bett said as he smiled and looked at the group, "So, what kind of firearms do you want me to give them?"
Keith shrugged and look at his friends, "They can pick whichever they want I guess. I'll pay, and um feel free to take them to the back room."
Bett nodded and opened the door to his store room as he waited for everyone to get in, but Amelia stayed back as she looked at Keith who was waiting for her to get in.
"You don't want any? Oh wait you already have one... I mean, feel free to buy an extra. I don't mind." Keith said, but Amelia shook her head before looking at Bett.
"Old man, get back in. I got something private to talk about." she said with a frown, making Bett chuckle, "This kid didn't change at all, did she." he said as he walked inside and closed the door behind him, only to have Clara open the door again.
She popped her head out of the door and looked at the two of them who were facing each other, "Oh... I... Amelia, you should have told me first... but it's fine, I don't mind it if it's you. You can be his second." she said, without knowing the context.
Even Keith panicked and opened up his system screen to see what was going on in Amelia's mind, but while he did that, Amelia flared up.
"I... it's not what you think it is!!! Also, I'm not dumb enough to ask a guy out when I clearly know that he isn't interested in me!" she shot back, but Clara smiled and came out of the store room before closing the door behind her.
"But you're not denying that you like him are you?" she asked as she grabbed Amelia's hand and looked at Keith who seemed like he was staring at the wall behind her, "Hey, you don't mind dating her right? After all, she's a top class beauty."
Keith took his eyes off his system screen and sighed, "Now's not the time for this discussion Clara, and also, the topic seemed serious from the look on her face."
"No wait." Amelia said and turned to face Clara, her expression both furious and sad, "Please don't poke your nose into this matter. Especially when I wanted to talk to him alone."
Clara stared at Amelia silently like she was in a state of shock before nodding. Her voice shook as she spoke, "I... I'm sorry."
Keith, stuck as a third person, couldn't help but sigh. In his eyes, both made mistakes and he didn't want to see their friendship crumble. He silently watched Clara leave and looked at Amelia, "You know, you didn't really tell anyone that you wanted to talk to me alone..."
"Let's not talk about that please. I just lost my cool and I already regret it... you don't have to deepen the guilt I'm feeling right now." She said with a complicated expression on her face before letting out a soft sigh.
She took out her revolver and grabbed Keith's hand before pushing it into his palm, "Here... it's a special revolver and I feel like it'll be of more use to you than to me."
Keith frowned slightly as he looked at the gun, "But, isn't this an artifact? Are you sure that you want to give it to me? I mean, people consider these more valuable than human life." he said as he gave it back to her, not wanting to take something so valuable.
"I mean, yes it's an artifact. In fact it's a blessed artifact but you gotta keep in mind that the effects of this artifact isn't world breaking." she said as she looked up at Keith, and added, "Come on, just take it alright? You can buy be two guns in return. Also, all this gun does is allow you to use hunter bullets instead of the empire ones, so it's not all that great."
Keith, who had his eye on the system screen in front of him as he read her thoughts, sighed and shook his head, "You're hiding something from me, aren't you? Come on, why not just tell me instead of keep me in the dark?"
"I... well, fuck I hate you Keith!" she cursed as she stomped her foot on the ground and shook her head with an annoyed look on her face, "What I mean to say is... the blessed artifact is actually the striking hammer in the revolver.
All it needs is one touch to the butt of a bullet and it'll be able to fire it. It can't really negate the recoil, but it has other functions. You don't need a safety since this hammer has it's own semi consciousness. As long as you have it on you and you're the official master, it will have some form of connection to your mind and body.
In times of danger, it can fire at your enemies for you and... yes, that's the reason why I wanted you to keep it. I mean, you're an inquisitor now Keith and inquisitors get into a lot of dangerous situations. Compared to me, you'll need it more. So stop asking more questions and just take it before I smack you."
Keith let out a soft sigh once he heard her words. He already knew, but it felt different when he heard it from her directly instead of reading her thoughts in the form of text.
"Alright, I'll take it. But I'll grant you a wish as long as it is within my capabilities. Also, no dating and bullshit cuz having two lovers sounds like a pain in the ass." he said and saw Amelia's serious face falter a she let out a smile.
"Just give me a hug... and two revolvers."
[A/N: I kinda lost track of the dates and just realised that today is the last day of the month. I plan on changing the priv tiers so I thought it'll be better to give you guys a heads up. It'll go with 5, 10, 15, 20, 25 chapters. I'll first release tier 4 and once I accumulate 5 more chapters, I'll release tier 5. I also plan on doing the extra chapters for golden tickets/gifts but I think I'll change it from 5gt for 1 chapter to 10 gt for 1 chapter. Anyways, enough of my blabbering. Have fun reading since another chapter is coming soon.]
