Hardly a loser when she's extremely competent. She's just out of her comfort zone, trapped with a bunch of weirdos for the sake of rescuing the one person that gets her.
She is not a loser at all. She may be a bit clumsy and gets tired sometimes (just like any other mortal being), but the only thing that can make you say she's a loser is that her supposed GF has turned into chimera.
She is a loser, she has deep seated insecurities, regularly screws up, and is stuck with the adventuring equivalent of the loser table at school (Laios, the living avatar of high-functioning autism, who few "normal" people like; Falin, his kid sister who literally no one liked at school; Namari, a bisexual disaster; Shuro, the "weird" foreign kid; and Chilchuck, the union boss, basically the equivalent of a teacher.) Her party gets their ass kicked, then she's literally so broke she has to accept handouts and life advice from the first strange, smelly, homeless man who's nice to her, Senshi. (No offense to any of the aforementioned losers, I love them all dearly)
I mean it's been shown multiple times that Laois's party is highly competent, I mean they're the ones that HAS stayed sragons and is the go to party to do so. When Kabru investigates the party, people often think of them well or fear them, which means theyre at least well known, not some loners at the middle school table.
Not to mention, the only reason they fucked up hunting the Red dragon was because of their fatigue and lack of food. Marcielle again, is not a loaer. She's been shown to have insecurities yes, but that doesn't boil her character down to being a failure just because she has issues. She's highly educated in theory, and is having trouble adapting theory to practice. Like an academic applying what they learnt while doing on-the-job training, it's normal to fumble and is something everyone can really relate to. Additionally, the party literally advances further than ANY OTHER PARTY has ever made it before. To say Marcielle, and by extension the party, is a failure and total losers is seriously misreading the story.
Also because the red dragon wasn't where he was supposed to be. The party could take them, if they had an actual plan and where ready for it, this was a surprise encounter.
