Sometimes, I get curious about certain things.

If, regardless of the probability, things never go as one wants, and instead the opposite keeps happening, is that good luck or bad?

When you hope to win, you always lose, but when you're expecting to lose, you miraculously win.

It might seem like you're always at a loss, but from a probability perspective, isn't it a miraculous hand that always beats the odds?

-Argh! How is it possible that I invest everything and not get a single item?!

As Grace and Han Se-ah quickly devised another plan and rushed out, Irene worriedly watched me hand gold to the guild before heading out to go to the temple.

Finally, with Kaiden disappearing without a word, I could once again browse the internet.

While reading Han Se-ah's chat, I became curious and started watching her past gaming videos.

On her channel, before the emergence of VR Games, she uploaded fitness videos and gameplay.

Even before playing 'Heroes Chronicle,' her channel had over 300,000 subscribers.

Seeing that the difference in view count was based on her outfit rather than the content itself, it was clear her viewers were... the 'interesting' sort.

-Does this even make sense? If the item's drop rate is 15%, then how come I didnt get it even once after 20 tries? Is this even statistically logical?!

Videos of her stretching on a mat, collaborating with other female streamers, reactions to sudden game jump scares, balancing on a balance ball or a foam roller, and streaming game tournaments.

However, the one that caught my eye the most wasnt the one of her working out in revealing clothes, but the one with the thumbnail of Han Se-ah slamming her head onto the keyboard, keys flying in all directions.

The messy black hair strewn over the dark keys looked eerily like tree branches with fruits.

Or was it just my imagination?

Without hesitation, I played the video.

Unable to contain her anger, Han Se-ah banged the table with both hands, accidentally smashing her keyboard.

"Is this, even, fair? Ouch! Wait, did I just break my headset?!"

She probably didn't intend to hit the keyboard; clutching her hurt hand and letting out a painful cry.

As she suddenly stood up, the cord from her headset got caught on the chair, causing chaos.

The smashed keyboard, the chair being thrown back, the headset caught on the chair, and Han Se-ah, who couldn't bear the pain.

Beyond this chaotic scene, there was also her in-game character, which had died amidst the commotion.

No wonder the viewers teased her with the nickname 'Clumsy Hands'.

Videos of her in exercise attire working out actually had fewer views than those where she accidentally wreaked havoc on her desk.

While leisurely searching through Han Se-ah's embarrassing past in my room, there came a gentle knock.

"Is Roland there?"

"Roland, you're inside, right?"

Perhaps because of the last time we went for drinks, both Grace and Han Se-ah came together.

They probably figured I'd pieced everything together and just decided to be upfront.

A chuckle escaped me at the very streamer-like brazenness of Han Se-ah.

It's hard not to laugh remembering her exaggerated reactions and clumsy fails in her videos.

I suppressed the urge with a light cough and opened the door.

"Drinking again today?"

"Yes, we thought all of us should have a drink together... Well, all of us except for Kaiden."

Standing at the door were three women, casually dressed and without their usual gear.

I thought there were only two, but Irene, looking slightly flushed, was also there.

Their relationship was definitely closer than I thought, like sisters.

Even if the religion valued modesty and integrity, it didn't necessarily require total abstinence.

Perhaps she couldn't resist the persuasion of the other two and decided to join.

Despite being usually shy and reserved, Irene seemed excited about sharing drinks with friends, her eyes gleaming brightly.

Who would decline an invitation to drink when offered by three charming ladies?

"Why not Kaiden?"

"Well, we don't know where he's staying..."

Han Se-ah lowered her head as she replied, seemingly embarrassed.

We had all become closer with her since we first met, and I even knew of her secret.

Not knowing where someone lives despite this level of intimacy?

Maybe the Kaiden that Katie thinks of isn't a stoic swordsman but a loner.

With that thought, I left the inn with the group, who seemed intent on drinking even one member short.

Han Se-ah hadn't started her broadcast, perhaps because of her very personal hobby of matchmaking Grace and me.

Instead of the Lucky Scoundrel, where the previous incident occurred, she led us to another place.

After all, we couldn't bring a nun to a place where people were selling themselves.

"It's fortunate, really."

"Fortunate? What is?"

"That there won't be any guys picking fights just to impress you today."

Maybe because I just watched Han Se-ah's videos, I felt the playful urge to tease.

As we walked, pushing through the increasing crowd of adventurers, my casual remark drew varied reactions from the group.

Han Se-ah shot me a glare as if to ask why Id bring that up, Grace playfully nudged my side, trying to stifle her laughter, and Irene, full of curiosity, tugged at my sleeve, asking what I meant.

Even though we were closer now, Irene naturally grabbed my left sleeve.

It seemed either she found it easier to communicate this way or had just grown accustomed to it.

Last time, Grace and I went out for a drink...

Ah! Roland! Are you seriously bringing that up?

"Everyone in the Adventurer's Guild already knows about it, so why not?"

"What?! The whole guild knows?"

"We treated everyone with my money. Of course, word went around."

Looking at Han Se-ah, whose face turned bright red even if it's just in the game Irene gently laughs, guessing the situation.

Han Se-ah had unexpectedly become the talk of the tavern.

Grace, eager to tease her younger friend, sidled up to Irene and began narrating on her behalf.

When Hanna entered the tavern alone, a mercenary from outside the city sat down right in front of her and just-"

Ah, stop it!

"Oh my, what did he look like?"

Well, he looked every bit the mercenary. Scruffy beard, menacing look, and wore this loose

Interrupted by a hurried Han Se-ah taking the lead, the two ladies followed, laughing happily.

It wasn't just me who enjoyed teasing Han Se-ah.

Proving the point, Grace and Irene, arms linked, cheerfully chased after her.

Some adventurers recognized our group or showed interest due to the beauties among us, but upon seeing Irenes nun robes, they respectfully turned away.

Flirting with adventurers and flirting with a nun are two very different things, after all.

Suddenly, a man stopped our group.

Hey, isn't that Kaiden?

Everyone, here, whew you are.

She seemed rushed, catching her breath as she spoke.

For a swordsman of the intermediate adventurer level to be so winded, she mustve run quite a distance.

What happened?

Bravely stopping a group of beautiful women on the road with a nun among them naturally, she became the center of attention.

But seeing nothing happening, the attention eventually dissipates.

If not, an adventurer on the street might've seen it as an opportunity to join in.

You seem in a hurry, what's the matter?

A golem...

She huffed,

Theres a tip related to golems. Ellis wanted to pass it on.

Lacking a proper communication tool, it seems she had to sprint around Han Se-ah and Grace's lodgings, our frequented restaurants, and taverns.

After pausing to catch her breath, Kaiden elaborated further.

"When I went back to the guild's training grounds to practice my swordsmanship, Ellis told me she had a message for you. Apparently, an injured adventurer party returned with a unique-looking golem stone."

Saying so, Kaiden fetched a mana stone, roughly the size of a fist, from her adventurer belt.

Being part of our party, they trusted her enough to hand over the mana stone.

Rock golems typically had rounded mana stones that were only faintly reddish in hue.

However, the mana stone Kaiden held was distinctly angular.

Unlike the rounded pebble-like mana stones, this hexagonal crystal looked as though it had been intentionally carved.

"It's not only a deeper shade but also appears as if someone has shaped the mana stone."

"Did you get to hear how they found this mana stone?"

"The adventurer who handed over the stone seemed to have fainted right in the guild. We've administered first aid, but it seems we need to rush him to the temple."

Hearing the explanation, everyone's attention was drawn to the word 'temple.'

It seemed they understood why Ellis had urgently relayed the news.

Though the temple is renowned for its purity and healing adventurers following the goddess's will, it's inevitably entangled with politics in this medieval fantasy world.

It would be difficult to knock on the temple's doors late in the evening just for an adventurer who'd merely lost consciousness, especially if the injuries weren't life-threatening.

However, if a nun was accompanying the adventurer, it would be a different story.

Especially if someone like Irene, who held the title of a Saint Candidate and had grown up in the city's temple, were to bring them.

Ideally, Irene herself would treat them...

"At this hour, the high priest should still be there. I'll head to the temple; please bring the patients from the guild to meet me there."

"Right, we should go immediately."

Unfortunately, due to Irene's specialization in protective barriers, her healing capabilities were limited.

If I recall correctly, she excelled in protection and purification but was limited in healing and had no enhancement capabilities.

As Irene, holding the hem of her nun's robe with both hands, sprinted away, the group watched her retreating figure for a moment before heading to the guild.

Han Se-ah, ever the streamer, swiftly took out her camera to capture the scene.
