The Tale of Hero Alice's Social Death (Pantsu Hero Alice) Chapter 12 - Alice's Sun Fist is Always Functioning

"Then, Lord Hero, please rest here for the time being. I will notify His Majesty the King about you."

Alice was given a room to rest in the church. Evidently, because of the presence of a surveillance system, there was no way Alice could hide the fact that she was the one who drew the Hero's Sword. Though, after giving the matter some thought, Alice found this situation to be reasonable. After all, this world had developed its magical technology to the extent that even mobile phones existed. So, how could the people of this world not have invented a surveillance system yet?

Fortunately, the white-robed elder, who was also the head priest of this church, showed a considerable degree of respect for the "Hero" Alice. Hence, he didn't hesitate at all to give Alice the best room available in the church. He also dared not disturb Alice for too long as he made himself scarce. Before the old man left, though, he said, "Lord Hero, I can see that you are quite humble and do not wish to announce your presence to the world, but the appearance of a Hero will inspire the people. So, I still hope that you can consider telling the world about your existence..."

"Let's talk about this in the future."

Alice frustratedly sat down on a chair in the room while secretly cursing at her curiosity. None of this would've happened if she did not try touching the Hero's Sword with her right hand. Now that her actions were caught on camera, she couldn't avoid becoming the Hero even if she wanted to. After all, the people of this world firmly believed that the Hero coexisted with the Demon King. If she adamantly refused to take on the duties of the Hero, the people of this world would probably panic.

However, while Alice had accepted her fate of becoming the Hero, she still hoped to keep her identity secret for the time being. At most, she would compromise with letting the higher-ups of society announce the birth of a Hero to the public. That way, she could get rid of her identity as the Hero once the Demon King remained a no-show for some time
