I jumped when I heard Brandish's voice—the same one I had heard in Freya's palace. The shock was so great that I pushed the chair backward with my feet.
"W-Wahh!" The startled sound escaped me as I realized I had lost my balance. The rest followed the laws of gravity, ending with a rather loud thud.
"Rick! Are you okay?!" The girls outside my head spoke in unison with the one inside it, all of them worried about me.
"I-I'm fine. I just got distracted for a moment," I replied to all four of them.
I could hear the people at the other tables laughing at my fall.
'Geez, that's the second accident I've had today. Are you sure there isn't a hidden luck stat somewhere and I've got zero points in it?'
I asked myself, but instead, I heard Brandish's voice answer.
'T-There is no luck stat. Y-You're probably just having a bad day.'
'Thanks for the explanation, Captain Obvious.'
"Honestly, sometimes you really have your head in the clouds. Be more careful from now on," Sarah told me.
