It was obvious that Han Se-ah's stream camera drone didn't have infinite range. As if an RPG game would let you move the third-person perspective infinitely.
If that were possible, wouldn't there be a flood of rotten bastards parked in the newbie village, scouring the world map to cherry-pick rare minerals and named mobs? Heroes Chronicle was a virtual reality game where NPCs organically moved the world - if that were possible... it'd be like a clairvoyant superhuman cheesing reality, wouldn't it?
That's why Han Se-ah's stream camera had two modes:
First, flying around Han Se-ah's vicinity. Second, focusing on and following NPC companions.
"This isn't what I wanted, so... hmm... could you tell me a story?"
"A story... you say?"So the camera that just popped into existence in the carriage was clearly using the second function.
The fortunate part, if any, was that the camera caught the employee trying to seduce me in the split second I looked at it. If the camera had suddenly teleported in front of my face, most viewers would've thought we made eye contact by chance, but it was better to play it safe.
So I restrained the blushing female employees trying to burrow into my sides. It would've been a lie to say I wasn't tempted by beauties trying to repay a life debt with their bodies, but I didn't want to have carriage sex on a livestream watched by hundreds of thousands.
...Honestly, Han Se-ah alone was enough for that kind of show.
"Right. Like I said, I'm on my way back from the kingdom, so I'm not up to date on imperial affairs. Honestly, the mercenaries' gossip isn't very useful information."
"Ah, so that's why you're in this city..."
The group's female employees nodded as I made excuses, then quietly sat down on either side of me. As expected of the medieval era where human rights didn't exist, they seemed accustomed to entertaining. I supposed it was fitting for a K-fantasy medieval era where cutting off the wrists of orphans pickpocketing to avoid starvation and ripping out the tongues of con artists was the norm.
Come to think of it, seeing these beauties in pretty clothes in a mediocre group full of low-ranking mercenaries, they might've been hired with this kind of entertainment in mind from the start.
They might've been the small group's secret weapon for honey traps. But they weren't just relying on looks with empty heads - the two immediately started explaining.
While low-ranking mercenaries spouted speculation and delusions based on job postings, the two women discussed the flow of capital among large companies as they began their explanation.
"It's an unconfirmed rumor, but the atmosphere is undeniably unsettling."
"Most territories have started stockpiling more food than usual. Granary regions that used to export are reducing food sales despite no poor harvests, while importing territories are buying more than usual even at high prices..."
The two women snuggled up close on either side and started explaining in hushed tones. I desperately held back as their breath tickled my ears, threatening to make me grin like an idiot.
If Han Se-ah's camera wasn't there, I would've been wrapping my arms around their waists and eagerly groping the soft flesh pressed against my arms for a fun time... but seeing that 98,519 real-time viewers number really dampened the mood.
If I laid a hand on these women here, wouldn't that number of ninety thousand jump to about two hundred thousand? Thinking that, I passively lent an ear while letting the female employees subtly touch me.
-Suddenly having a quickie with the imperial history tutor lol
-What's today's recommended p*rn number, teacher? Please make it a home tutor video
-Anyway, isn't this just saying the empire pulled some typical empire sh*t? It's imperial tradition to rot from the inside out lol
-Nobles abandoning law and order, brigands rising up...
Maybe it was because I snuck a peek at Han Se-ah's stream chat, but the hushed explanations from both sides really did sound like home tutors. Of course, the only home tutors I'd seen in my life were in Japanese p*rn.
The blonde subtly pushed out her chest while unfolding a crude map of the empire I couldn't even read, while the brunette tilted her head and whispered closer and closer to my ear as she explained. But more than their subtle seduction, what was really on my mind was Han Se-ah, of course.
"Being in the carriage, I'm not sure where we are. Though I don't know any imperial place names anyway... if it's Roland, he might be heading to the temple?"
-Ah lol why isn't Teacher Roland getting it on with the office ladies in the steamy carriage?
-He played with noble girls! Played with them! Played with them! Played with them! Played with them! Played with them!
-Can't decide if this is a home tutor or OL scene~
-No, you can tell it's not lol
-Oh come on, of course you can tell. Does the hero party's luggage carrier/road paver/lighting/plump grain sack look like a donkey?
"I see people trying to lengthen my nickname whenever they get the chance, but if you get caught once, I might just kill you for real."
[Han Se-ah the First Road Paver donated 10,000 won!]
How the hell are you going to kill viewers lol
"How am I gonna kill them? When I'm with the girls, I'll turn off the camera and only do close-ups of the magic tower geezers and Temple Knights. You guys would love that."
She was clearly in a place that looked like a magic tower, so she must have seamlessly entered the imperial magic tower in that short time.
What the hell was going on...?

Han Se-ah's camera had range limitations no matter how it was operated.
I was in the empire.
Han Se-ah was filming me.
So Han Se-ah must've been in the empire too.
No matter how stupid I was or if what was above my neck was just a helmet rack or a magic tool for winning women's hearts, I could think this much, couldn't I?
Then what I should've been thinking about was obviously why the player Han Se-ah came to the empire.
Maybe she rushed straight to the empire for a stream angle rather than checking the 51st floor, or when everyone scattered for the companion strengthening event, she chased after me first as a natural 6★, or maybe the kingdom's magic tower and the empire's magic tower were exchanging people and in the process, Han-na the genius mage who became the hero got dragged to the exchange meeting.
As I secretly peeked at the hologram window while receiving the sultry attention of two beauties, the result was a bit different from what I thought.
I thought she'd recklessly rushed in for a mission or stream angle to review the empire, but she really did participate in the magic tower's exchange meeting.
Come to think of it, the last time I checked, she was firing up viewers saying she'd learn one more advanced spell. I saw her gather all the mage users, even write a post to stir things up with something like 'The best advanced spell in my opinion'.
But that was about the magic tower branch in the city of adventurers. After the world froze for an update and we companions scattered as if teleporting, it was definitely weird when I thought about it.
I experienced the 'Hey, you. You're finally awake' in a carriage at the northern edge thanks to the power of the update and the Goddess's consideration, but Han Se-ah had remained in the city of adventurers. So how did the place to learn magic suddenly become the empire's magic tower? What was going on?
"Sir Roland? What are you thinking about so deeply?"
"Was there something difficult in what we said?"
As I was thinking this, a warm, soft sensation tempted me again from both sides. At this point, I was torn between wishing I'd kept my armor on and being glad I took it off for comfort.
The camera disappeared with a whoosh, probably thinking it couldn't keep filming the women's cleavage all the way to the magic tower. Thanks to that, I felt my desires bubbling up even more.
The two women flashed mischievous smiles, either because Roland's looks were quite to their taste or because they enjoyed the situation of subtly seducing a handsome man.
Honestly, it was getting hard to hold back. Should I just go for it? Even though I said it wasn't necessary earlier, wasn't giving in after this much temptation the way to protect a woman's pride? But Han Se-ah would definitely turn the camera back on me... My head was a jumble of desires and worries.
"Or... hehe, could it be you have other concerns?"
"Wow, your thighs seem even firmer than the horses pulling the carriage..."
As soft hands caressed from my arms down my sides to my thighs, I instinctively glanced at Han Se-ah's stream window. It was about time for the carriage to stop so we could eat dinner and spend the night. Which meant Han Se-ah's stream was also about to end.
"Well, that's it for today's stream. No matter how sleepless the magic tower geezers are from old age, I need to sleep. And we still haven't decided which spell to learn, right? It wouldn't be bad to ask for a quick demonstration here and decide. Or I could get advice from Roland and learn based on that."
Han Se-ah actually ended the stream, probably because we'd been together long enough that she sensed it was time to wrap up. She waved her hand at the camera, teased the chat begging her not to go, then shut off the stream without hesitation.
Hmm, if that was the case, there was no reason to hold back anymore, was there...?
Thinking that, I started to reach out to the two women now clinging to me—
"A-attack!"
"Which idiot burned incense in the bonfire!?"
"We'll sort that out later! Protect the food carriage!"
Suddenly, chaos erupted outside.
...These empire bastards seemed to have nothing going for them except their vast land and large population.
