If Molly's previous experience was ninety percent luck and one percent strength, then everything that happened next could only be described as being blessed by the heavens.
Originally, the warehouse was above the engine room. If the airship had exploded, it would have been impossible for Molly to survive. It was just a matter of dying a few minutes earlier or later.
"You said that you found a Legend-ranked weapon, the bane of steel, in the treasure trove, and easily pierced through the walls of the treasure trove. Then, you even found a special parachute with a gnome propeller, and jumped out of the hole just like that?"
"Originally, there were so many random things in the warehouse, and there was no time to find any valuable treasures. Then, you even found a magic detection device that flashed with a magical light in the warehouse? You instantly became rich? "
Rorschach repeatedly confirmed that his talent wasn't broken. He could only sigh at how amazing Molly's luck was for the main character.
"… You're so lucky."
Rorschach sighed from the bottom of his heart. However, he discovered that Molly was crying.
"It's definitely not like that. Wahhh, I … I'm so unlucky … Every time I have good luck, something terrible will happen. Then, I'll obtain some benefits later on, but it'll all be for nothing. I … I must have been cursed."
Molly didn't even know who her parents were. Molly had been a vagrant since she was young. Ever since she could understand things, she had always had strange luck.
Every time, she would meet with good luck, but bad luck would immediately follow. The end result would always be nothing.
For example, when she was a vagrant and ran out of food, she would always meet some kind-hearted people who would give her charity. For example, she would meet a kind adopter. However, the adopter would either go bankrupt or reveal his true nature and turn into an evil wolf. In the end, she would part on bad terms.
Even if she suddenly made a fortune, she would be happy for less than two days before losing it or having it stolen.
Molly had finally found a stable job recently, but she would lose it again in less than two days. When she thought about how she would have to start trying to survive on her own from tomorrow onwards, Molly was filled with sorrow.
"… Even though I was stabbed in the back and thought that my luck would change … I still met you guys …"
It was the same this time. First, she was taken hostage and stabbed. Then, she found out that her dream Prince Charming was a psychopathic murderer. She was really unlucky.
After that, he was lucky enough to escape and miraculously entered the treasure trove. Then, even more miraculously, he returned with a full load and landed safely before the explosion. Running alone in the dangerous Ansorenne for so long was truly a stroke of luck.
In the end, they actually ran into Rorschach's group. That was really bad luck.
"… Then why were you so happy to see me?"
"… At that time, I was really panicked and scared. I was so lucky that I even started wondering how unlucky I would be in the future. Being eaten by a salon would be too pitiful. I don't think that you'll kill me. Even if I didn't meet you, I would only keep 10% … no, 1%, and then donate the rest to avoid even more bad luck. "
The teary-eyed Molly sadly caressed the bag of treasures. Rorschach could see that she didn't have the slightest bit of reluctance, as if she knew from the start that she wouldn't be able to keep it.
"I must have offended the Goddess of Fate. This is my fate. You must be my punishers. Take it, take it all. As expected, only when I'm completely clean will I be able to feel at ease. "
The descenders of the God of Games exchanged glances, but couldn't find any words of consolation.
After all, Rorschach's group had come here for these treasures from the very start. Even if they didn't have any of the treasures they wanted, as long as they had enough treasures of equivalent value, they would be able to find a way to exchange for the treasures they wanted.
"How … how did you survive?"
After pausing for a moment, Rorschach still asked the question that he had in mind. At the time, Rorschach had personally seen Molly's heart being pierced through. Her blood had even shot up to the height of a person. How did she survive?
After hesitating for a moment, Molly knew that she was just a support worker. She would never be able to escape from this group of people.
Molly lightly held her temple with her hand, and then slightly lifted … and her head fell off.
Next, her right hand twisted the joint of her left arm, and her left arm fell off like a spare part. What followed next was a dazzling disassembly performance.
When it was almost done, there was already a pile of broken parts on the ground. There were arms, legs, and a chest, and Molly's head was still blinking as she looked at her own body parts.
"Five years ago, when I was dismantling a worn-out Goblin Magic Armor …"
Molly's voice was getting softer and softer, but Rorschach suddenly realized.
"Isn't that the same as the legendary reborn Robocop? The explosion destroyed her physical body, and then she rebuilt her own metal body. How pitiful. She must have been seriously injured at the time. Those silver elves didn't care about wild elves, so she must have had a hard time. "
Rorschach sympathized with this unlucky fellow. He was even thinking of ways to compensate her, but what she said next made Rorschach feel that it would be better not to judge her too early.
"… I found a treasure map in the magic armor's mezzanine, and then I snuck out. The result was that I really became rich … I didn't have to worry about food or water, and I could eat whenever I wanted. How wonderful."
Molly's head was still drooling as she muttered, which reminded me of a horror movie.
"How pitiful. As a descender of the silver elves, you can't even eat your fill. That's too much."
Su Nanna was filled with righteous indignation as she criticized Molly. Rorschach silently shook his head. No matter what, he wouldn't mistreat a professional logistician. This girl who seemed more and more unreliable made Rorschach think of a certain person.
That person also made a lot of money every month, but it was quite rare to have instant noodles at the end of the month … no, grass to eat.
"No, no, I won't delay my salary. If they dare to delay my salary, I'll dare to mix water in fuel, steal electricity from mana pools, and then resell resources … You won't tell on me, right? I really haven't done such things many times before!"
Rorschach could already guess what she was going to say next.
"Heh heh, who doesn't have a hobby? I'm just a little interested in machinery and military ammunition. Those things are a little expensive, and recently, the God of Mecha released the newest battle exploration parts. I just couldn't control myself for a while."
Alright then, she was a military girl and a rich girl. She was hopeless.
However, for a rich girl who was addicted to smoking to be able to eat and wear as she pleased, the amount of goblin treasure would definitely be quite large.
"… And then, someone set their sights on me and came to my door at night … and then I became like this. If it wasn't for the fact that a battle spirit magic puppet maid just happened to come and check on me, I probably wouldn't have survived. Honestly, I only told two of my good friends about the treasure. I don't even know who told others about it. Hmph, I added some good stuff to their magic armors, but they really didn't come back. "
It would seem that Molly wasn't a scheming girl, but she definitely wasn't a harmless little girl.
Soon, Molly reassembled herself. She chewed on Olivia's magic box to replenish her mana while looking at the others who were having a headache.
This girl was truly troublesome, and a huge one at that.
First of all, she was a veteran craftsman who knew a large amount of silver elves' technological secrets. This was wealth, but it was also the fuse that attracted trouble.
And if they wanted to negotiate with the silver elves, they would need to at least expose Jack's true identity and successfully shift the blame for the S.S. Victory's sinking. Molly would be an important witness.
She was useful, but somewhat useful. She was troublesome, but not a huge one. Molly was just as complicated and subtle as her luck.
Suddenly, Molly's expression changed while she was carefully chewing on her magic box.
"Damn it, I actually thought that the current situation was quite good. I was so lucky to have met you all. Then … won't I be unlucky again!? According to my experience, I'll be unlucky again! "
* Boom! *
At the same time that Molly said that, the airship suddenly shook violently. When I turned around, I saw thick smoke rising from the airship's engine. A metal spear was stuck in the engine.
"Shut up! Don't jinx it! "
"… Where we come from, someone like you would be dragged out and stabbed into a tree."
Rorschach lifted his head and saw a familiar yet loathsome figure in the sky.
