The Tale of Hero Alice's Social Death (Pantsu Hero Alice) Chapter 165 - Elven Hero's Secret

Despite her efforts to hide her identity as the "Hero," Alice found that others frequently uncovered her identity through inexplicable methods.

Fortunately, compared to how Aird and Luna uncovered her identity, Filia's case was much more peaceful. At the very least, Filia didn't try to attack her from the very onset. Instead, the elf snuck into her room and asked her about her identity.
