The Speedrun Manual of Miss Witch - Chapter 156

After reading the notepad, Ciel of course knew what the other party wanted from her. However, she planned to wait for the other party to say it, to give herself a little time to think.

“Congratulations, ‘Faceless’.”

The crack where the Keyman’s right eye should be opened and spoke, “This plan has succeeded again… To be honest, I should have introduced you upwards right now, but we are currently at a critical juncture and cannot leave. I hope you can understand.”

Introduce?

Ciel wasn’t clear how the Society of Merriment was managed internally. But thinking from Ciel’s perspective, she could only reach this conclusion.

The Keyman not “introducing” her upwards, but always keeping her by their side, is likely not because of any critical juncture.

They are interested in the future painted by her simulated self in the simulation, the grand plan. They want Ciel to continue working for them.

Because the Keyman is very clear, once Ciel leaves, they might not be able to accomplish anything.

As for why Ciel dared to think this?

Just look at the Keyman’s face… Regarding the degree of potion digestion, the Keyman has just barely advanced to “Subverter,” and is only barely resisting the potion’s whispers. They only saw the possibility of stabilizing the potion from Ciel’s side.

As for the “critical juncture”… Which “critical juncture” are they referring to?

“I don’t care about these,”

Ciel shrugged, saying somewhat indifferently, “If I mess things up, I’ll just report the name of the ‘Society of Merriment.’ Whether I’m introduced or not doesn’t matter.”

“Hahaha.”

The Keyman smiled. Their tone didn’t fluctuate much. They looked at Ciel and said, “Sometimes I really truly envy you.”

“You have unparalleled talent… Sooner or later you can become a high-ranking member of the ‘Society of Merriment’,”

The Keyman continued, “By then, you can allocate more resources and better accomplish the other bold ideas in your mind.”

Ciel didn’t comment on this, appearing very indifferent.

As long as today passed, Ciel would leave this simulated world. Whatever happened afterwards was irrelevant to her. Ciel wouldn’t take these painted cakes to heart.

The Keyman also seemed to notice that Ciel wasn’t very interested in what they were saying, but they showed no displeasure, just smiled and asked:

“Have you prepared the ‘Dream Thief’s’ Reconstitution Ritual? It feels like it’s about time.”

“Reconstitution Ritual?”

Ciel shook her head and said, “I don’t know what the Reconstitution Ritual requires, and I feel ‘Instigator’ is quite useful.”

“The ritual requirements and potion should have been sent together,”

The Keyman shook their head, saying earnestly, “Improving your strength is also equally important. You cannot ignore this point.”

This Keyman completely treated her as a subordinate…

The slightly preachy tone somewhat stirred a rebellious emotion in Ciel’s heart, but she suppressed it well, showing no emotional expression.

“Alright.”

Ciel reluctantly nodded.

“The nobles are completely offended, and everything has been blamed on the Orlando Republican Army and the workers,”

The Keyman leaned back slightly, resting on the sofa, and casually asked, “What is your next step plan?”

Next step plan?

It wasn’t written in the notepad either?

However, following her simulated self’s train of thought in the notepad, Ciel could also understand what needed to be done next.

If following the normal development, relying solely on those workers and the Orlando Republican Army members is completely insufficient. A long period should be spent uniting the other lower classes within the city.

But Ciel only has 24 hours. Time clearly doesn’t quite allow her to do this.

To cause the biggest impact, a speech is necessary, and it cannot be just her speaking.

Uris from the Church of the Savior Goddess also needs to join in, contributing to the speech.

The Orlando Republican Army, the workers, most of these people’s faith is in the Church of the Savior Goddess. Only the Church of the Savior Goddess can truly unite them.

Then, directly have them charge the army. Best to help them successfully take down the army, so these news all spread to the capital Ansu.

The Orlando Republican Army and Ansu workers are united, with the Church of the Savior Goddess’s backing. The Church of the Savior Goddess in Berren City is still united with the Divine Advent Church…

With this news reaching the ears of the Queen of Ansu in the capital, it’s completely impossible not to provoke a bloody suppression within 24 hours.

Even the Church of the Savior Goddess Holy See in the capital Ansu will be considerably implicated as a result.

This is purely courting death.

Moreover, Ciel strongly believes the Queen of Ansu will make the “correct” decision.

A Queen who can starve over a million disaster victims to death, what compassion would she have for commoners? Ciel simply doesn’t believe it.

This is a high-win-rate gamble, the kind a “Gambler” wouldn’t even bother to bet on.

Ciel slightly revealed the plan to the Keyman before her, making the Keyman, who was originally leaning back on the sofa, sit up slightly.

This young girl… What exactly is going on?

Leaving aside how exactly she found so many cultists of the Divine Advent Church, and then also persuaded people from the Church of the Savior Goddess to unite with the cultists, just on the point of speaking, it’s not something an ordinary person can accomplish.

Speaking isn’t just about the “Instigator” potion. An “Instigator” can at most influence the few people listening directly, but every speech event has hundreds, even thousands of people. Making so many people believe what one person says is a monumental task.

This is an innate talent, nothing more to say.

And, what method exactly did she use to instigate those Tier 2 and Tier 3 cultists?

This young girl carries too many secrets. Her talent would make anyone who sees her feel inadequate.

The Keyman was not lying. They truly envied the young girl, even to the point of jealousy.

But they had no intention of harming the young girl at all.

No matter how high her talent, how brilliant her abilities, she is still just a Tier 1 “Instigator,” firmly under their control.

Just like the “Blood Painter” outside, merely someone they could easily manipulate.

What they needed to do was to forever imprison this young girl by their side, let the young girl offer advice and suggestions, helping them stabilize their potion.

During this period, completely brainwash the young girl, making her a servant who only obeys them…

“Can I see the content of the speech manuscript?”

A faint smile appeared on the Keyman’s face. Their fox tail, at this moment, also finally showed itself. “Perhaps I can help you with the speech part.”

The Keyman was about to begin intervening in the final subversion process.

Ciel looked at the Keyman’s face, and the corner of her mouth also slowly curved into an arc.

“Alright.”

Ciel said with a smile.

“Just right.”
