The Tale of Hero Alice’s Social Death

Chapter 141: Shivering Anger

"..."

It was certainly outside of Alice's expectations that the Hero Abel's remnant soul would be lodging in Filia's panties.

Logically, those chosen by God to become the Hero were individuals with pure souls, such as Aird and Kristine. In Aird's case, she had sacrificed a significant portion of her life to infiltrate the demon realm and climb up the ranks there to become a Heavenly King. In Kristine's case, she had chosen to bind her soul with a stone tablet and endure loneliness for several hundred years so that she could warn future generations about Demon King Grant's soul. Both Aird and Kristine were perfect examples of righteous people.

Of course, Alice was an exception since she couldn't be considered a Hero technically. Instead, she was a transmigrator who had relied on her right hand's strange power to inadvertently gain God's help and receive the identity of a Hero.

Hence, Alice had always felt that she was the only Hero in history capable of laying their hands on another person's panties without remorse.

However, it would seem that Alice was mistaken. It would also seem that the Loli Goddess had been asleep when she chose the Seventh Hero. Either that, or the Seventh Demon King's invasion had pressured the Loli Goddess into choosing a Hero quickly, and she ended up mistakenly selecting an Elven Hero with a panty fetish.

"Are you still going to hide?" Alice asked in a threatening tone, her eyes narrowing as she looked at the white panty in her hand. "I've already found you. Otherwise, why do you think I would strip off her underwear?"

Alice naturally wouldn't speak politely to a bastard capable of hiding in his girlfriend's panties. Although Alice had stripped, snatched, and confiscated many pairs of panties herself, she had only used those panties as weapons. However, the Seventh Hero had placed a remnant of his soul into his girlfriend's panty and had her wear it Even Alice had difficulty accepting this situation.

However, the panty in Alice's hand remained motionless. It would seem that the Seventh Hero intended to continue playing dead.

"I know you're inside. You don't have to keep on hiding." Alice frowned as she looked at the white panty. Then, she continued, "I'm going to burn this panty if you don't come out. You might disappear once you lose your medium."

Unfortunately, the white panty remained motionless. It would seem that the Seventh Hero would rather get burnt to death than come out and face social death.

"Are you sure you're not coming out?"

A dangerous glint flashed in Alice's eyes. The Seventh Hero must be thinking that she lacked the means to do anything against him. Thus, after pondering for a moment, Alice reached into her panty-filled pouch with her left hand, pulled out a small storage box, and opened it.

Subsequently, a loud thud echoed throughout the room as the Hero's Sword fell out of the weapon storage and hit the wooden floor.

"You should recognize the Hero's Sword, right? You should understand what it means since it is in my hands now, right?"

Currently, apart from Alice and the unconscious Filia, Hero Abel's remnant soul was the only other person in this room. Hence, Alice wasn't worried about pulling out the Hero's Sword.

"As a Hero, I similarly possess the potential to learn a large number of taboos. If I learn a taboo capable of drawing out remnant souls There will be no room for negotiations when that time comes."

Finally, the remnant soul in the white panty seemingly realized the severity of the situation after seeing the Hero's Sword. It might be fine if Alice were to simply burn the panty. At the very least, nobody would know that the Seventh Hero's remnant soul was hiding in a pair of panties.

However, if Alice drew out his soul from the panty, no amount of words would be enough to defend his actions. Meanwhile, suffering social death was not something he wanted to experience after death.

Subsequently, an invisible ripple of power spread from the white panty. Then, the translucent figure of a bitterly smiling elf floated out of the panty. However, because the soul inhabiting the panty wasn't a complete soul, the elf's figure was incredibly small, only slightly bigger than Alice's palm.

"Sorry. It's kind of hard for me to face anyone under such circumstances," the Elven Hero Abel said to Alice with a helpless expression. "I thought it would be fine if I simply played dead, but I didn't think you would also be a Hero It seems I have no choice but to talk with you."

"Mhm." Alice originally didn't possess much goodwill toward the Elven Hero. However, when the other party appeared before her, she quickly noticed something was amiss. Then, after taking a closer look at Abel's figure, Alice revealed a slightly strange expression as she asked, "You're a woman?"

"Hm? Were you not aware of it?" Abel was also stunned. She thought that Alice would've known that she was a female elf. "Although I'm not aware of the current gender ratio among Heroes the ratio between male and female was equal for the six Heroes before me. So, it shouldn't be strange to see a female Hero, right? Not to mention, aren't you a female Hero as well?"

Indeed, the number of female Heroes that existed in the past was not small. Although Alice had read about many male Heroes in history books, all of the Heroes Alice had met in person thus far seemed to befemale Heroes.

Whether it was the current Hero Aird, the previous generation's Hero Kristine, or the Elven Hero Abel, all three were female.

"But that's not right. I heard that you're this fellow's boyfriend," Alice said as she looked toward Filia.

There was no doubt that Abel was a female elf. The female features on her remnant soul were rather obvious. Apart from her feminine facial features, the protrusions on her chest could also prove her gender.

However, according to what Alice heard from Lalu, the Elven Hero should be Filia's boyfriend.

"Cough. I indeed share a boyfriend and girlfriend relationship with Filia. That's because of the atmosphere at the time You get me, right? Homosexual relationships were frowned upon. It is especially so in a rigid race like the elven race," Abel said with an embarrassed expression. However, seeing that Alice was a human and that so many years had passed since her era, she felt it might be fine to talk about such a tricky topic now. "Hence, I dated Filia using a male identity While we couldn't fool everyone, it would at least stop some people from pointing their fingers at us."

Abel's explanation made sense. People who lived over a thousand years ago would most likely have difficulty accepting homosexual relationships. It wasn't until the internet appeared and opened up people's thoughts that people around the world became more open toward such relationships.

Originally, had Abel been a man, Alice would've criticized him for hiding his remnant soul inside his girlfriend's underwear. After all, he would be a perverted old bastard if he could stoop to such low heights.

However, after learning that Abel was a woman, Alice's disgust towards the Elven Hero's actions lightened significantly. After all, Abel was an elven woman herself. If she was truly interested in women, she didn't have to go out of her way to plant her remnant soul inside her girlfriend's panties.

"Then, why is your soul inside here?" Alice asked as she lifted the white panty. "I thought you would've hid in the ring."
