PHA - Chapter 176 - This Is Just a Subconscious Reaction

When Alice thought about the information Luna had gathered on Ciel, one thing that stood out was that the catkin girl was incredibly fond of befriending others. Moreover, unlike Alice, who passively made friends, Ciel would often be the one taking the initiative.

Hence, Alice couldn't help but wonder if the reason Ciel disliked her was related to this matter. Perhaps Ciel was upset over the fact that Alice was making friends without having to put in much effort while she had to bend her back backward to make so many friends.

Unfortunately, those unaware of the situation ended up taking her normal behavior as her having a humble personality.

Novel Notes

PHA is going on a hiatus until January 1st, 2023. It's becoming increasingly stressful to translate PHA due to all the unneccessarily elaborate yet unimportant contexts, so I've decided to take a break from PHA and have a go at it again next year.
