Ph.D said: If Alice actually misheard "stalking" to "stockings", does that mean the original Japanese is written in katakana?
It normally would be (though Alice uses hiragana here), but it's possible to confuse words that are written in katakana with those written in hiragana/kanji, too.
Using hiragana when you're not sure if the word is japanese or foreign is common.
On a side note I'm waiting for Alice to go yandere
Eh?She didn't accept your present?HicHmm...She doesn't want it since she has no use for it...HicHmm, and I thought the grimoire would put us on the right track too.Guess we need to use something she likes more.But I don't know what onee-sama likes.True enough.We're in need of information right now.SobStockings?Very well.
How about we do some stalking?
