The Tale of Hero Alice's Social Death (Pantsu Hero Alice) Chapter 175 - Strange Catkin

As a catkin, Ciel had the cat ears and cat tail typical of a catkin. In addition, she also had an above-average face and long black hair that flowed smoothly down her back. No matter how Alice looked at Ciel, the other party was undoubtedly a beautiful girl.

Upon closer observation, Alice also noticed that Ciel's lips and slit pupils gave the catkin the feeling of a big cat. It was no wonder she was so popular in school. After all, who didn't like cats? Even Alice couldn't help but have the urge to rub Ciel's head.

Unfortunately, Ciel, who had followed Alice to the roof of the teaching block, did not show Alice the same kind of friendliness she showed to other people. On the contrary, she silently glared at Alice after arriving on the roof, keeping it up for several minutes straight.

Unlike the school buildings Alice had read about in novels, the teaching block's roof wasn't freely accessible. A magic lock had been placed on the door leading to the roof, and one wouldn't be able to open it even if one knew the Lockpick spell—Of course, a magic lock was no trouble to Alice at all.

Because the roof wasn't a place students could normally visit, it was the perfect place for Alice to have a conversation with Ciel. After all, Alice was trying to learn the catkin tribe's taboos, so she might have to reveal some information that'd be inappropriate for others to find out.

To get to the roof, Alice had used Aspect Separation to attach the concept of a "normal lock" to the door's magic lock. Then, she used a simple Lockpick spell to open the door.

Ciel was relatively surprised when she saw Alice effortlessly opening the magic lock that had stumped countless students in the past. However, after entering the roof, she promptly resumed looking at Alice with a disgruntled expression.

Alice had no idea why Ciel looked at her with such a hostile look. However, considering she was trying to ask the other party for a favor, she quickly reflected on her past actions to see if she had wronged the catkin.

Did I offend her or her friends
