The Tale of Hero Alice's Social Death (Pantsu Hero Alice) Chapter 356 - It's Not Easy Being a Thief

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.
