The Tale of Hero Alice’s Social Death

na as a medium to search for the Demon King's Power.

“Ah, right…
You mentioned it yesterday…” Andusia mumbled as she recalled the conversation she had with Alice last night.
“You're much crazier than all of the Heroes I know.
I've never seen any Hero trying to get rid of the Demon King's Power directly.”

Alice might not have explicitly stated that she was targeting the Demon King's Power, but her intentions were obvious based on their conversation last night.
Alice also didn't bother hiding her intentions from Andusia.
After all, Andusia's mana core was still within Alice's control.
There was no way Andusia could escape out of Alice's palm.

“Nobody has ever bothered considering the Demon King's Power's origins.
It's as if the Demon King's Power's existence is a part of this world, and getting rid of it is no different than trying to get rid of the concept of '1+1=2,'” Andusia said, narrowing her eyes as she looked at Alice.
Then, she asked, “Are you sure you have a way to get rid of the Demon King's Power?”

Alice might be trying to get rid of the Demon King's Power, but the Demon King's Power was practically an illusory existence.
Even until now, nobody had ever seen the Demon King's Power's physical manifestation.
It was just like how nobody could see or touch the concept of “1+1=2.” So, in Andusia's opinion, Alice's plan to get rid of the Demon King's Power was unbelievable.

“How would I know if I don't try?” Alice said while tying her hair with two panties.
Then, under Andusia's perplexed gaze, Alice picked up her travel backpack and carried it on her back.

Unlike most people, Alice didn't think it was impossible to get rid of the Demon King's Power.
After all, she had personally seen the Demon King's Power manifest as a black sphere.
If the Demon King's Power was in that state, it should be possible to physically destroy it.

After ensuring that she had packed everything she needed, Alice quietly left the dorm.
Originally, she had wanted to invite Zauna and Lalu on this trip.
Unfortunately, the dogkins only allowed one person to visit them.
So, Alice had no choice but to go alone.

As for Andusia, she was a figurine.
It was unlikely that anyone would realize that she was an actual person.

…

“You're late!”

Ciel had been waiting downstairs of the dormitory for quite some time.
When she saw Alice walking out of the dormitory, she promptly called out to Alice with a dissatisfied expression on her face.

“Didn't I tell you to come earlier?!”

The catkins thought that Ciel shared a good relationship with Alice, so they passed the responsibility of guiding Alice to their settlement to Ciel.
As for Ciel, nobody but herself knew whether she was truly dissatisfied with this arrangement or she was just unable to speak truthfully.

“Yes, yes, yes.
Sorry for being late,” Alice said, smiling before sending a powerful smack at Ciel's buttocks.

Immediately, Ciel shuddered, and her mouth stopped speaking rudely.
The cause of the blush on her face had also changed from anger to excitement.

At this time, Andusia had climbed out of Alice's backpack and sat on Alice's shoulder.
Then, when she saw the shameless expression Ciel was making, she couldn't help but cover her face and shield her eyes.
She did not wage war with the humans and liberate the beastkins from slavery a couple of thousand years ago to see this…

Alice had also felt Andusia climbing onto her shoulder.
However, Alice decided not to say anything about it, seeing as Andusia didn't do anything else and acted like nothing more than a decoration.
Instead, she squeezed Ciel's black cat tail and smiled, saying, “Let's go.
Take me to the catkins.”

“O-Okay…” Ciel responded in a coquettish tone.

Fortunately, they had agreed to meet at a sufficiently early hour.
Otherwise, Ciel's behavior would have definitely been seen by others.
