The Tale of Hero Alice's Social Death (Pantsu Hero Alice) Chapter 200 - Please Stay Dead

Alice hadn't revealed her identity as the Hero to Elodie, so the other party only treated her as a princess with an extraordinary talent for magic.

Elodie sighed after saying so. Then, she picked up the book beside the bottle of Sunset Grass, handed it to Alice, and continued in a sorrowful tone:
