The Tale of Hero Alice's Social Death (Pantsu Hero Alice) Chapter 96 - As a Recommended Student, I Can Be as Willful as I Want

Meanwhile, the nearest functioning camera was already a significant distance away from the villa district. There was no way it could capture anything from such a great distance.

While she wasn't afraid of the Demon King's Power getting captured on camera, she worried that Luna might get dragged into a chain of unfortunate events.

"Here, Alice."

Although Alice's body was in perfect condition, she had still chosen to remain in the hospital for observation for two days at Hatter's behest. As for Luna, even though she was the one to have received a fatal wound, she had already resumed her maid duties while in her hospital gown
