Their commission was suspicious.

"Ah, hahaha... Chen, Chen Luo, I must say, when it comes to making friends, you're better than me." Tsuchimikado Motoharu smiled somewhat awkwardly.

Tsuchimikado Motoharu is very nervous right now.

The key issue is that this meeting was rather unexpected.

Even Kanzaki Kaori momentarily went into a state of heightened alert, but then she relaxed, remembering that this was a bar and they couldn't hurt each other.

"Hmm, I really wanted to be friends with her... but it seems like she doesn't feel the same way."

Chen Luo glanced at Ottinus and said that it was still 5% off for friends.

The instant connection boosted the other person's positive impression by 7%.

Moreover, it's the kind of relationship that's locked and can't be lowered, but because of the added favorability crystals, it can be raised. Adding the 40 favorability points gained from completing the mission, the other person reaches a 5% discount.

Because the initial affinity is very stable, and the affinity after the mission bonus is also very stable, the other party's discount level has not dropped yet.

The opposition between the two may be merely a difference in concepts, but this does not affect the reasons for their mutual likes and dislikes.

There are situations in the world where I might feel a mutual respect with you, but I wouldn't hesitate to cut you down.

This situation usually occurs between the protagonist and the ultimate villain, the big boss.

Although Chen Luo didn't want to say that he was the protagonist, the big boss was definitely the other party.

"What...does this mean?" Tsuchimikado Motoharu's heart was beating a little fast.

"Simply put, this guy is probably trying to use us to threaten Chen Luo into doing something, but don't worry. I'm right here. At worst, I'll just crush this superpower crystal." Accelerator's first item, a silver crystal, appeared out of nowhere.

"..." Kanzaki Kaori glanced at Accelerator.

Does this guy really know what the Demon God represents?

"Hmm...did we come at the wrong time?" After hesitating for a moment, Tsuchimikado Motoharu asked.

"It's not just bad timing, it's absolutely terrible timing." Sometimes, even nonsense literature can be useful.

Because this fully expresses Chen Luo's inner anguish.

"And don't you think the people here are all gathered together?" Chen Luo complained.

The current situation is that we'll take them all down together.

“So, tell me, do you want to play hide-and-seek with me, or do you want me to wait a while and put in some effort to catch them all?” Euthinus glanced at the group.

Euthinus kept saying that he was going to capture these people, not kill them.

Although Euthinus often puts on an aloof air and is indeed rather cold.

But Euthinus is kind by nature. If you try to talk to her nicely, you can find a way to reconcile. He has a kind and gentle nature that can be persuaded.

Perhaps it was because the Spear of the Gods was obtained too easily that it made the other party somewhat impulsive.

Moreover, the fact that the other party lost so thoroughly yesterday, and even locked up Chen Luo for a night, may have made them somewhat unwilling to admit defeat.

After all, Othinus, who possesses the Spear of the Gods, is a fully-fledged demon god.

It's okay to lose, no problem.

But to lose so completely is just too much.

Therefore, Chen Luo probably needs to let Othinus calm down before having a proper talk with him.

But the other party is probably not very calm right now.

“Although I cannot destroy the world through our contract, destroying Academy City is no problem,” Othinus reminded him.

This is both a warning and a threat.

In the past, Othinus would not have taken action against Academy City, because the raw materials for creating the Spear of God required not only magical items but also scientific knowledge.

Both are indispensable; only in this way can the complete Spear of the God be created.

For example, in the original story, part of the materials for the Spear of God were the remaining materials from the body of the second-ranked person in Academy City after his death.

But things are different now. Whether Academy City exists or not is no longer of any concern to Othinus, because he has already obtained the Spear of God.

"Destroy the world?" Both Tsuchimikado Motoharu and Kanzaki Kaori, who knew just how powerful the Demon God was, were taken aback.

"Is this guy suffering from some kind of chuunibyou (middle school syndrome)?" Accelerator, who had already recovered from his chuunibyou phase, couldn't help but ask.

“You don’t understand. This person truly possesses the power to destroy the world,” Tsuchimikado Motoharu said, shaking his head.

Motoharu Tsuchimikado knows Accelerator, or rather, there is no one in Academy City who doesn't know Accelerator.

"Just like this world has magic in addition to science, and above magic there are beings like demon gods who are at the pinnacle. For them, destroying the world is not difficult."

"Othinus, the Demon God?!" Perhaps because the sound was a bit loud, Index, who had been eating, finally noticed them and heard some of the words.

Index, who possessed knowledge of 103,000 grimoires, was naturally aware of the existence of the demon god Othinus.

"Index, can she really destroy the world?" Touma Kamijou couldn't help but ask.

“The Demon God truly possesses the power to destroy the world. And with ease. However, I've heard that Othinus himself seems to have some special characteristics…” Index pondered.

“A day ago, I was indeed an imperfect stranger. Because of my own peculiarities, my success rate in doing things was only 50/50.” Othinus did not hide this fact.

“But until I obtained the Spear of the Gods.” Othinus took the Spear of the Gods directly from under his right eyepatch.

“Angel Killer, you wouldn’t expect him to stop me, would you?” Othinus’s spear of the gods was pointed at Touma Kamijou.

Othinus immediately recognized what was in Touma Kamijou's right hand.

"Alright, alright, I'll play hide-and-seek with you, okay?" Chen Luo sighed.

Why play hide-and-seek?

"Because I made a contract with the demon goddess Othinus. If I lose a game of hide-and-seek, she can destroy the world at will, but if I win, she has to grant me one wish," Chen Luo said, revealing his contract with Othinus.

"Wait a minute, speaking of wishes, could I ask you not to hurt anyone?" Chen Luo suddenly realized something.

"..." Euthinus's originally arrogant expression suddenly turned cold.

Because this level of requirement is indeed within the realm of possibility.

"If I only ask you not to harm or imprison anyone other than yourself, then I won't have to worry about you using others to blackmail me, right?"

"And as long as you can't blackmail me, I can stop playing hide-and-seek with you forever, and you can never destroy the world," Chen Luo said confidently.

“In fact, your demands are too broad and may weaken the binding force,” Othinus suddenly said.

"I know, am I just trying to scare them?"

When Chen Luo signed the contract with Othinus, he only asked Othinus to agree to his demands, and these demands were more inclined towards physical combat.

The requirement that Othinus not harm anyone is not in line with the contract and may not be sustainable for long.

“What do you want?” Euthinus asked.

"Here's what we'll do. I know you came prepared, and I'll most likely lose if we play hide-and-seek. I certainly don't want to do something I'm bound to lose, but I can't completely ignore you either."

"Let's play rock-paper-scissors. If you win, you can play hide-and-seek," Chen Luo suggested.

“…Okay.” Euthinus nodded after carefully examining Chen Luo’s unique characteristics.

Euthinus could roughly determine that Chen Luo did not possess any ability to win at rock-paper-scissors.

While Othinus's 50/50 ability could indeed affect him, Othinus is currently in the form of wielding the Spear of God.

Therefore, the impact is not significant.

Immediately afterward, amidst the excitement and tension of those like Tsuchimikado Motoharu who understood what a demon god was and knew how strong the opponent was, Chen Luo began to exchange blows with him.

In round 1, Chen Luo played scissors, and Ottinus played fists. Ottinus won.

Euthinus smiled.

In the second round, Chen Luo played rock and Othinus played scissors, and Chen Luo won.

Rock-paper-scissors isn't very random, so it's not a problem if the other person wins a round.

Euthinus felt he had the situation under control.

In the third round, Chen Luo played rock, and Othinus played scissors. Chen Luo won.

Ottinus lost in the best-of-three series.

"Hmm?" Euthinus frowned.

But Euthinus was not angry about this outcome.

At least this time, the loss wasn't as devastating as the last one.

In that game of hide-and-seek, there was absolutely no way I could win.

Rock-paper-scissors, on the other hand, at least results in wins and losses for both sides.

“Again!” Euthinus said in a deep voice.

Chen Luo still won two out of three games.

"Again"

Chen Luo won three times this time.

"Again."

"I'm not coming, I'm not coming. What will happen once you figure out my logic?" Chen Luo shook his head.

"Goodbye." After losing three times, Othinus strode swiftly toward the bar's door.

"Unlimited French fries are available today as a special offer."

"..." After hesitating for a moment, Othinus, who had walked halfway, sat back down at the bar.

You won.

"Eat more if you like it," Chen Luo said enthusiastically.

“Even with your enthusiasm, I will not forget my own demands,” Euthinus said.

“Of course, I won’t make you forget your own needs; I just want to reward you,” Chen Luo said.

"So the crisis of world destruction was won just like that?" Tsuchimikado Motoharu was still a little short of breath.

“That proved to be true. And Othinus is quite reasonable,” Chen Luo said, turning his head.

"How is it? How does it taste?" After finishing with everyone else, Chen Luo asked the little Euthinus on his shoulder.

He didn't speak, but only asked a question.

"Mmm, French fries are absolutely delicious." Little Othinus sat on Chen Luo's shoulders, swinging its legs happily.

Othinus can synchronize with Othinus's memories, which means that if the other feels pleasure while eating French fries, the little Othinus will also feel pleasure.

This is why Chen Luo was able to consistently win against Othinus in rock-paper-scissors.

No exaggeration or bias.

With Euthinus himself acting as an undercover agent, what can Euthinus use to fight Chen Luo?

Especially in games like rock-paper-scissors, where strategy determines victory or defeat, with Little Euthinus constantly informing Chen Luo of Euthinus's thoughts, Euthinus has no chance of winning.

Occasionally letting the opponent win a game is also to prove that Chen Luo does not have the ability to win every time.

With the help of Little Othinus, Chen Luo was able to calm Othinus down while reasoning with her and appealing to her emotions.

This is Euthinus's strategy for conquering himself.

Euthinus did not necessarily intend to destroy the world; he could be persuaded.

The key to persuasion lies with Euthinus the Younger and Chen Luo, the executor.

In a sense, Ottinus the Lesser can be considered an interpreter of Ottinus, right?

After all, not only do they know what the other party is thinking, they even know what little Euthinus ate this morning.

"Come on, let me show you a magic trick." Chen Luo lightly made a gesture on the bar table in front of the other person, and a 20x20 meter long river of time appeared there. After Chen Luo threw the fries in front of the other person into the river of time, three more plates of fries emerged from the river: one silver and one gold, plus the original Chen Luo himself.

"Try the golden one," Chen Luo invited.

Chen Luo wasn't trying to increase Euthinus's favor towards him, but rather rewarding little Euthinus, since little Euthinus could also sense the delicious taste.

Since Little Euthinus is knowledge itself, it cannot interfere with reality, nor can it eat food, so this is the only way to reward it.

Of course, more knowledge would also be a reward for Little Euthinus, but Chen Luo doesn't have that right now.

"Try to delay the game of hide-and-seek as much as possible. The more times you win, the more prepared the opponent will be. So try to maintain a perfect record before you convince them," Little Otimus said while enjoying the delicious knowledge.
