The Tale of Hero Alice's Social Death (Pantsu Hero Alice) Chapter 293 - Dumbfounded

"Cough, cough… What was that for?!" Andusia glared at Alice. Although the spell from the buff-type magician wasn't strong enough to cause her any damage, getting hit by a spell without any preparation still gave her quite the fright.
