The Tale of Hero Alice’s Social Death

Chapter 234: Secret Getting Exposed Yet Again

The catkins only had three unique taboos in their collection, significantly less than the elves' collection. Under the condition that she only needed to achieve entry-level mastery, Alice only took two and a half days to finish her study session.

Ciel might have been given a long lecture by her mother, but it didn't seem like her mother had noticed her true fetish. On the contrary, her mother had even given her some additional funds, saying that if she had difficulty holding back her urges, she could use the money to buy a few pairs of stockings to sate her desires.

Alice was stunned when she heard about this matter from Ciel. Although she knew that beastkins were quite open about their heat periods, she didn't think Ciel's mother would help fund her daughter's fetish.

Of course, that was only because Ciel's mother was under the wrong assumption that Ciel had a foot fetish. If Ciel's mother were to find out that her daughter was actually a masochist, Ciel probably wouldn't get away so easily. After all, compared to having a foot fetish, being a masochist came with the risk of getting injured.

However, Alice didn't plan on telling Ciel's mother the truth. If she were to talk to Ciel like a normal person, she'd have no way to hold a proper conversation with the other party. Only by putting pressure (in a physical sense) on Ciel could she talk to the catkin properly. If Ciel's mother ended up fixing Ciel's fetish, how was she supposed to converse with Ciel in the future?

In any case, Ciel's masochistic tendencies would only react toward her. So long as this condition remained true, Alice was confident she could prevent Ciel from receiving any injuries.

"Are you leaving?"

Two and a half days was neither a short period nor a long period. After learning the catkins' three taboos to an entry-level, Alice planned to set off once more. However, when Ciel saw Alice packing her luggage, she couldn't help but feel a little disheartened.

After packing her belongings into her small luggage, Alice turned to look at Ciel, who stood by the guest room's entrance, and smiled, asking, "That's right. Can't bear to part with me?"

"W-Who would want to be with you?!" Ciel vehemently denied Alice's allegation, reacting like an excited cat. "You only stayed in my house for two days! Don't think so highly of yourself! I still haven't forgotten about you stealing my limelight at the academy!"

"Is that so?" Alice walked to Ciel's side, raised her hand, and grabbed Ciel's tail. Then, she gave it a moderate squeeze, causing the catkin's body to soften immediately. "Your true thoughts?""

"I'm a li-little reluctant" Ciel replied obediently as she looked at Alice with misty eyes.

This was why Alice chose not to tell Ciel's mother about the truth. If Ciel's special fetish got corrected, Alice would have had a much more difficult time conversing with Ciel. Their conversations would most likely become riddles, and she'd have to constantly guess what was actually going through Ciel's mind.

In comparison, their current method of communication was much simpler. All Alice needed to do was apply some force to get Ciel to speak the truth obediently.

"I'll be heading off, then. Tell your mother I said goodbye," Alice said as she picked up her luggage and walked out of the guest room. Ciel's mother was currently out for work, so Alice could only get Ciel to pass on her words. "We'll meet back at school."

"Okay," Ciel replied softly as she watched Alice's departing back.

"You want to visit the dogkins now?"

Alice quickly messaged Elodie using her phone after arriving back in Holl City's teleportation hub. Elodie was responsible for negotiating with the dogkins, so Alice naturally needed to find Elodie now that she was going to visit the dogkins.

Meanwhile, Elodie did not disappoint Alice's expectations, either. After hearing that Alice wanted to visit the dogkins now, she had Alice stay on hold for a moment and left to do something. Then, a few minutes later, Elodie's voice came through the phone once more:

"No problem. I just inquired, and the dogkins aren't busy with anything, so you can visit them immediately. I already registered your information for you, so all you need to do is head to the chieftain's office after arriving. He will bring you to their chief totem."

"Is that so? Thanks."

Alice was relieved by Elodie's work efficiency. It was also to be expected of a thief recommended by Rosa. It would seem that Elodie was truly well connected among the beastkins.

"It's nothing. I still have to thank you for lifting the curse on my mother. As expected of a magic genius recommended by Rosa," Elodie said, giggling. "Also, my mother seems to be very interested in you. Do you have some time to come to our home for a meal once you are done with your business? My father also wishes to meet the talented princess."

Marion wants to meet me?

Speaking of Marion, Alice immediately felt her head starting to ache. After taking care of matters over at Marion's house, Rosa had told her that Marion had caught her in the act of secretly stashing Marion's panties away. However, Marion didn't seem to have spread this information, so Alice couldn't help but wonder what the woman was planning.

"Okay. I'll drop by once I am done with things on my end."

Although Alice found it quite embarrassing to have someone catch her stealing panties, she had no choice but to agree to Elodie's invitation to ensure that Marion didn't reveal her secret.

"Mhm. I'll look forward to it," Elodie said in a happy mood. "I'll stop disturbing you. Although I don't know what you are trying to search for using the dogkins' chief totem, I hope you can find what you are looking for. Goodbye~"

After saying so, Elodie disconnected the call, leaving Alice sighing in the teleportation hub.
