Othinus vs Alice

Our objective was to capture the special girl who can be called the guide for all storylines, be they horror, gambling, love comedy, suspense, action, battle, sports, science fiction, or fantasy. Of all the countless storylines derived from the guide, the gambling one was the easiest to use. We tried to work our way back from there to approach Alice, the guide. …That is what this story really is.

in specs and caught up to you first! We can’t repeat this again, Othinus. If I can’t stop you
here, you’ll crumble from the inside!!”

Kamijou Touma had been unable to swing his fist at Othinus even once, but he had
succeeded in finding a weapon that could easily provide a fatal wound. He had found the
material he needed for his negotiations with the Magic God.
