About

Maxum's party, now capable of even hunting dragons, had grown conceited. Praised by the guild and envied by other adventurers, they began to notice something that bothered them: Guest, whose value to the party was ambiguous and who seemed useless in combat. "...We don't really need that guy, right?" At the suggestion of their leader, Maxum, and with unanimous agreement, Guest was fired from the party without a word of protest. However, it never occurred to them that all their past glory was due to Guest's "Luck" skill. Since the firing, their quests have been a string of failures. When they find themselves struggling against just a few orcs, they reach a single conclusion. "Wait... are we actually weak?" Thinking back to when they defeated the dragon, it was a sudden rockfall from the peak that gave the dragon a concussion—a stroke of "Luck" that decided the battle. Other victories, like the Cyclops's heart attack or the Golem's sudden slip on a banana peel, were clearly due to something other than their own strength. "This is bad... is there any way we can get Guest back?" About the "Luck" skill: A rare skill possessed by Guest. It is the ultimate plot-armor skill that resolves any situation through sheer convenience. It also provides a constant buff to all allies. The party flourished because of this effect, but without Guest, their actual strength is only at the level of novice adventurers.
