The Tale of Hero Alice's Social Death (Pantsu Hero Alice) Chapter 223 - "Slight" Difference in Understanding

The catkins' archive wasn't a particularly large building. Its height was similar to a normal house, and it only had three floors in total. There was also a pair of cat ears situated on the roof, giving the simple building a cute appearance.

As a side note, many of Elkite's buildings had a pair of cat ears decorating them. This could be considered an architectural style unique to the catkins. According to Ciel, if one came across such a building in other places, there was a high likelihood that a catkin owned it.

After taking a moment to admire the cute architectural design, Alice pushed open the doors to the building. Rather than calling it an archive, it'd be more accurate to call the building a library. The building stored a massive number of books of many varieties. Basically, these were all of the documents the catkins had passed down throughout the generations.

Of course, not all books here were written by catkins. Some were also bought from humans to use as reference.

The archive's manager was a cute young lady. When Alice saw the girl, she smiled and took the initiative to shake hands with the other party. Meanwhile, just like Alice expected, the girl obediently shook hands with her. Moreover, she also got to see the other party's weapon information.

Unlike Ciel and Johanna, this archivist was only a normal person. So, her stats were relatively normal, ranging between twenty to thirty points. Regardless, the fact that Alice could see the girl's stats made her wonder whether her conjecture might be right. Could all catkins possibly be masochists?

It was especially true, considering slavery had once existed in this world. If the catkins really had such a predisposition, they definitely couldn't have hidden it from those slave owners. Meanwhile, once those slave owners learned about this trait, they would absolutely let everyone know about it.
