The Speedrun Manual of Miss Witch - Chapter 179

The reason for going there was purely because it was on the way, and to check on Tara’s recovery.

If Tara’s body had recovered, Ciel wouldn’t have to go through the trouble of creating an anonymous report and then personally following up to ensure it was resolved—she could directly take Tara to handle the matter.

Although Ciel could do it alone, she didn’t think it was necessary to waste Fate Points on such a matter.

With a capable and absolutely loyal subordinate at hand, who could resist a free labor force?

The carriage carrying Ciel stopped in front of the clinic. The nurses at the clinic seemed to already recognize Ciel. One of the nurses, wearing a black dress, white apron, and white headscarf, walked up to Ciel.

“Miss Ciel, Doctor Adele has gone out and has not yet returned. Would you like to wait for her here?” The nurse asked Ciel.

“Has Adele gone out?”

Ciel showed a kind smile and asked, “Then please take me to see the little girl who was brought in yesterday.”

“You mean little Tara? Please follow me.”

When Tara was mentioned, the nurse smiled and walked forward, “Please follow me.”

Little Tara?

Ciel’s expression didn’t change, but her heart was filled with doubt.

Tara actually didn’t use a pseudonym? This mistake shouldn’t have happened… Now Adele probably knows this name too. It would be hard to change it now.

With doubt, Ciel followed the nurse to yesterday’s ward. Opening the door, Ciel saw Tara wearing a nurse’s uniform that wasn’t much different from a maid outfit, chatting with other nurses.

It seemed Tara was quite popular with the aunts.

“Miss Ciel.”

“Good morning, Miss Ciel.”

“Welcome.”

Upon seeing Ciel, the other nurses consciously stood up and left the ward. Tara, on the other hand, looked at Ciel, clasped her hands in front of her, and slightly bowed, “Lord Ciel.”

“You are called Tara?” Ciel looked at Tara, whose complexion was much better, and asked doubtfully.

Clearly, Tara understood the hidden meaning in Ciel’s words. She said:

“Yes, Lord Ciel… This is a name unique to North Ansu, originating from Mount Tara.”

Hearing “Mount Tara,” the information about Mount Tara that she had seen in books before surfaced in Ciel’s mind.

Mount Tara was a very important mountain in the history of ancient Orlando. It was the traditional coronation place of the Orlando kings… The name Tara, in Orlando, was basically related to royalty.

Ciel initially thought it was just a coincidence of names, but it was only when Tara said the name was unique that Ciel connected Tara’s name with this mountain.

“Are you from North Ansu?” Ciel asked curiously.

“I was indeed born in North Ansu, Lord Ciel.” Tara continued to reply humbly.

Such a coincidence?

However, after thinking for a moment, Ciel felt this wasn’t a coincidence.

The Church of the Savior Goddess itself was the main faith of Orlando, also known as North Ansu. Moreover, the Divine Advent Church was a split-off from the Church of the Savior Goddess. It was normal for there to be many North Ansu people within it.

No wonder the Keyman was so confident in believing that having the Orlando Republican Army assassinate Avena would successfully frame the Church of the Savior Goddess, because there were many North Ansu people within both the Church of the Savior Goddess and the Divine Advent Church.

The more she learned, the more Ciel realized that the Keyman’s framing plan was actually feasible.

She could only blame herself for choosing the wrong assassination target and provoking someone who shouldn’t have been provoked.

Since Tara was confident in using this name without being exposed, Ciel didn’t question her further.

She just didn’t know if Tara’s name was a pseudonym she just made up, or if it was truly related to the Orlando royal family.

“How has your body recovered?” Ciel continued to ask.

“Thank you for your concern, Lord Ciel! Your servant feels her body has completely recovered.”

As if worried Ciel wouldn’t believe her, after Tara finished speaking, she slightly straightened her back.

Apart from her face still being a little thin, she did seem to have recovered quite well.

Ciel nodded and said, “Good. Then come with me. There are things to do.”

“Yes! Lord Ciel!”

Upon hearing this, Tara’s eyes lit up. She immediately took a few steps forward and stood beside Ciel, ready for orders at any time.

She had had enough of staying here. Everyone around her was an ordinary person who hadn’t read many books and wasn’t religious. The only one who was religious believed in the Church of the Savior Goddess!

Looking at her praying made Tara angry, but bound by Lord Ciel’s command, she couldn’t immediately “correct” her incorrect thoughts and could only endure it.

Now, she could finally leave this tormenting place and act as a servant alongside Lord Mother Goddess. How could this not make Tara happy? Not excited?

Ciel took Tara, said hello to the nurses, asked them to inform Adele that she had taken the person, and then took Tara into the carriage.

She had even thought about how she would record herself in the new Divine Advent Scripture later.

[Alas, faithful Tara, the Mother Goddess said, listen to my instructions and follow me,]

[And Tara did as the Mother Goddess Ciel commanded and thus sought the lost authority, and all paths became one.]

Perfect.

She would write everything she did with Mother Goddess into the new Divine Advent Scripture!

Tara, still writing the new Divine Scripture in her mind, didn’t notice that Ciel in front had stopped in front of the carriage and directly bumped into Ciel’s back.

Feeling the soft fragrance coming from Ciel’s hair, which she didn’t know what kind of soap it was, Tara froze in place. After several seconds, she repeatedly took steps back and quickly bent at the waist: “S-S-Sorry… Lord Ciel.”

Tara almost knelt down. In a moment of distraction, she had committed such a great act of disrespect.

“It’s alright. Get in the carriage.”

Ciel didn’t pay much attention. She opened the carriage door and got in directly. She instructed the coachman to take her to Clock Tower Alley.

And Tara also quickly got into the carriage. After Ciel’s gesture, she sat opposite Ciel.

She quietly glanced at Ciel, who was looking out the window. Seeing that her expression wasn’t fluctuating much and she didn’t seem angry, she finally felt relieved.

I won’t record this part…
