After I spent ten minutes loudly screaming in the caves, Han Se-ah seemed to have come to a realization.

"Maybe the mana stones of a rock golem are also processed from the corpses of Giant Worms?"

If the corpse of the Giant Worm is needed to repair the broken golems and the liquefied mana tank of the golem repair facility also requires the corpse, then the mana stone of the rock golem might have been crafted using the mana extracted from the corpse- or so she speculated.

Ah, mommmmy-!

-Until just now, you were a pretty cool mage...

-Ahh, our Han Se-ah

-If Roland hadnt been there, the Giant Worm would've snacked on you.

-How did he run that fast?

-Using Taunt in a narrow pathway with no escape... very wise.

Her speculation might have some truth to it.

The moment Han Se-ah scratched the mana stone she took out from her inventory against the cave wall, a Giant Worm appeared, charging toward her.

If I, who was watching the stream, hadnt pretended to notice something and moved towards her, she might have ended up as minced meat just like Kim Seok-hyun.

But other than that, the experiment was a resounding success.

Behind me, a crazed Giant Worm chased, and in my arms, a terrified beauty.

The whole scene looked like something out of a movie, causing the viewers to pause their debates to watch my sprint.

After being lured into the clearing outside the hangars, it seemed more attracted to the large golem than the single mana stone.

"What are you doing?!"

"Um, I was... curious if we could lure it with just the mana stone instead of the Knight-type golem."

"You could have tested it within the hangars, couldnt you? Or somewhere safer!"

Regardless of whether the strategy succeeded or not, she deserved the reprimand.

As the party's leader, she had acted impulsively, nearly resulting in her death.

Even in a game where she can respawn and roll back time, this shouldn't be a gamer's behavior.

She took action without explaining it to her teammates, almost dying in the process.

Such reckless actions shouldn't come from a party leader.

As I gently placed down the princess*, she bowed her head in embarrassment.

"I'm... I'm sorry."

"Just ready your magic now!"

-You were talking smack before... look at you now.

-Right, a teacher should scold to be a teacher.

-If this was before meeting the goddess, Roland would have probably left the party.

-I thought he was into Grace? Why is he tailing you?

-Seriously, be more careful.

Fortunately, the mana stone's aggro range was wide, so I was able to react sooner to the Giant Worm.

As I carried Han Se-ah into the cave in a hurry, our teammates, who looked at us confused, couldn't get a warning before the Giant Worm charged in, causing chaos.

Thankfully, no one died or got hurt.

Hold it tight!

Got it, uh!

Katie, our northern brat, controls the weaker-than-before knight-type golem to grab the jaws of the Giant Worm.

The golem, perhaps because it wasn't enhanced, wobbled each time the lengthy body of the Giant Worm writhed, trying to coil around the golem's body.

While the golem didnt fall or get pushed back, it was unable to throw or slice it off like it did on the first day.

Seeing this, I lift my rarely used warhammer, concentrating my mana into it.

It's starting to feel like a boss monster-only weapon.

That shell, it's just like a rock! Hanna! Use the magic you used to weaken the golem's limbs!

Oh, okay!

Being in a game means she wouldnt panic even if she nearly died.

Even before hearing my command, Han Se-ah, who was preparing her rock-melting spell instead of an attack spell, quickly casts her magic.

Her combat intuition is exceptional but her judgement can be off at the weirdest of times.

When the spell hit, parts of the Giant Worms rock-like armored skin began to melt, sticky and dripping.

Looks like it's not rock skin, but actual rock fragments attached to its skin.

No magic resistance.

Ill blow that part away!

Ah! Be careful!

Immediately, an arrow from Grace struck the now exposed weak spot.

I initially doubted if a few arrows on that massive body would help, but seeing the arrowhead glow red and then explode changed my mind.

She had coated arrows with some potion, turning them into what looked like explosive arrows.

As her earnings as an adventurer increases, she invests more and more into her gear.

The explosion engulfs the melting rock shell, revealing the creature's true fleshy skin underneath.

Irene wasnt just standing around either.

As the Giant Worm thrashed, she perfectly shielded everyone from the shrapnel-like flying pieces of its skin with a protective barrier.

The three of them seem to work really well together.

If it weren't for Han Se-ahs earlier blunder, it would have been close to perfect party gameplay.

With that thought, I swung my mana-infused warhammer down onto the Giant Worm's waist.

Crash!

The Giant Worm, resilient even with its body severed in half, finally stopped its struggles after I crushed its head.

It's strange; a thrust through its mouth would kill it instantly, yet it remained alive even when split at the waist.

It wasn't some kind of zombie that only dies when its brain is destroyed.

"If it weren't for that barrier, we'd be in quite a mess right now."

"Thanks."

"It's only right that I help... This stench is unbearable. Should we cleanse it?"

"Let's purify the area after the corpse is completely gone."

Thanks to the chaotic movements of the halved worm, the spacious field was now drenched in sticky green bodily fluids.

If it weren't for Irene's barrier, our party would be smeared in this goo.

Though unfortunately, the shield did not cover me or the knight-type golem...

"Do you need more water magic, Roland?"

"How's your mana?"

"Don't worry. I didn't use any offensive magic, remember?"

Han Se-ah was diligently washing herself with the water she had poured into a pot.

As for me, removing my armor and washing it should be enough, but the massive knight-type golem can't exactly take a human-type shower.

We left the golem as it is for now.

Because of this, Katie, who had come out of the golem's cockpit, looked at the golem with sorrowful eyes, like a child staring at their broken toy.

The golem wasnt broken, it was just covered in stinky, viscous fluid.

Yet she hovered around it, her face as if the world had ended.

Despite the overpowering stench, she seems to care deeply about the golem.

"This fight went well, except for Hanna's rather reckless move."

"Oh, really?"

"It's commendable as a mage, but not so much as an adventurer."

Only after getting a direct hit from Han Se-ah's water magic, did the Giant Worm's fluids finally clear.

Still soaked from the waist down, I continued my earlier reprimand.

"You should have communicated with the party if you were going to try something out. Especially since I was away.

If I wasn't on my way back, and if Katie hadn't already been in the golem's cockpit, our party might have suffered significant injuries or worse."

-He's right on all counts.

-Lol you completely missed the mood.

-Have you never lived in society?

-Lol, how did you mistake reckless as a compliment?

Seeing my reprimand, Han Se-ah lowered her head, while the others subtly nodded in agreement.

She wasn't only sorry to me, the NPC; she had to consider the chat too.

Overly immersed viewers get genuinely upset at streamer mistakes after all.

I wasn't actually angry, so I easily accepted her apology with a nod.

Compared to hitting party members in the back with arrows or knocking down your tank with magic, this was pretty tame.

"Next time, if you're trying something, make sure you discuss it with the group to strategize beforehand. Even if I'm not around, Irene should be ready to deploy her barrier, or Katie should be positioned to block any threats."

"I understand..."

Han Se-ah, under a scolding, instinctively reverted to using more formal language.

The viewers certainly wouldn't let this moment go unnoticed.

-Did someone just clip that? That's the highlight of the week.

-Acting after getting scolded by Roland to get a hug. What a schemer!

-Whether she gets scolded or hugged, it's a win-win, right? Ooo Roland Han Se-ah and Grace*~

-Is this new content? The morning drama of Grace-Roland-Han Se-ah?

-That moment when your friend who promised to match-make you with a guy starts flirting with him instead! Oh man.

[HanSeAhWhoUnintentionallyFoundLove donated 10,000 won!]

Is your marriage with Teacher Roland next? Or a love-and-war arc with Grace?

"Ugh... mmm..."

With her head lowered in front of the group and teeth clenched, she mumbled.

Leaving aside Katie, who was more focused on the golem, the kind-hearted Grace and Irene quickly tried to console Han Se-ah.

Then Katie chimed in

"Uh, Hanna? Is the golem repair station working yet?"

Watching the gradually shrinking corpse of the Giant Worm, she alternated her gaze between Han Se-ah and the golem hangar, looking as restless as a puppy.

I'll have to remember to go to the North for her character quest later.
