The Speedrun Manual of Miss Witch - Chapter 206

Ciel’s mind raced. She slowly said:

“As far as I know, the Church of the God of Order is the embodiment of justice and order, and has made great contributions to maintaining the stability of Ansu…”

“From when I started studying, I had a great interest in law. However, due to my poor background, I only came into contact with the Church of the Savior Goddess. It was with the help of Commissioner Lucy that I had the opportunity to get to this point.”

Lafayette listened to Ciel’s words and nodded slightly. She looked at Ciel before her, and a hint of appreciation was also revealed in her eyes.

“Then… Miss Ciel, are you still interested in the Church of the God of Order?”

Lafayette asked with a smile, “I can introduce you.”

“But… I am an employee of Deton Group…”

A hint of hesitation appeared on Ciel’s face.

“There are also people in the Roswell family who believe in the Church of the Savior Goddess,”

Lafayette smiled and said, “Faith and the organization you serve are not in conflict, child. Faith is on a higher level, a necessary spiritual need for humans.”

“Mm… Please allow me to consider it and learn more about the Church of the God of Order, Your Excellency Lafayette.”

Ciel slightly lowered her head and did not agree immediately.

Agreeing to convert to a certain faith so hastily would only make Lafayette suspicious.

“Just for the sake of your mental health, Miss Ciel,”

Lafayette said with a chuckle, “I will be here for two more days. If you change your mind, you can come and find me anytime.”

After Lafayette finished speaking, Ciel at this time appropriately showed a hint of confusion and asked hesitantly, “You said for the sake of my mental health… Does the Church of the God of Order have a way to resolve my current situation?”

The Church of the God of Order had no way—at least from Ciel’s experience reaching the Priest rank in the previous simulation, she hadn’t seen any way for the Church of the God of Order to resolve spiritual pollution.

If they did, the “Crown Guards” of the Church of the God of Order would have been invincible long ago.

Unless the high-ranking members of the Church of the God of Order had secrets that Ciel was unaware of.

“This is a research result from the cooperation between the Pharos Medical Association and the Church of the God of Order…”

Lafayette seemed to have thought of something. She slowly rose to her feet and stood before Ciel, asking, “Would you like to try it?”

After Lafayette stood up, her figure was hunched over, but her height was a little taller than Ciel had expected. Even with her back bent and legs crooked, she seemed to be at least 1.8 meters tall—this height was completely disproportionate to her slender limbs.

If she could stand completely straight, she would probably be at least two meters tall.

Ciel had to step back half a step and look up to meet Lafayette’s eyes. At this moment, there was a hint of hesitation in Ciel’s eyes.

Meeting Lafayette was something Ciel had not expected. It was an unexpected event, and it could also be an extremely important piece of information.

If it were under the influence of potions from the “Instigator” or “Gambler” paths, Ciel might have directly agreed to see what she was up to.

But under the influence of the “Detective” potion, Ciel didn’t make any more risky attempts. She just said with a hesitant expression, “I…”

“Your mind will get worse day by day, Ciel. I’ve seen too many cases like yours…”

Lafayette didn’t seem to want to force her. She just walked around Ciel to a cabinet and opened it. She took out a few bottles of potion from it, walked back to Ciel, and placed the potions on the table.

“These few bottles of tranquilizer are made by people from the Pharos Medical Association. Their quality is guaranteed. At the very least, they can help you get a few days of peaceful sleep.”

Lafayette pointed to the potions on the table and said, “Take them. Consider it my welcome gift to you.”

Ciel slightly bowed and said, “Thank you for your generosity, Your Excellency Lafayette.”

Just as Ciel reached out to pick up the potion on the table, her mind suddenly echoed with an explosive sound and a burning sensation!

Spiritual alarm?!

No!

Ciel quickly reacted.

This wasn’t a spiritual alarm.

It’s 【Acuity】!

Someone is watching me… behind that wall in the corner… in the hidden room behind the wall…

Is it Forte?! Is he also here?!

Ciel didn’t dare to show the slightest hesitation in her movements. She picked up the few bottles of potion on the table, put them away in her pocket, and then, in a slightly agitated tone, expressed her gratitude to Lafayette again.

The reason she made her tone agitated was to cover up her heart’s sudden acceleration.

“Let’s go, Ciel. I have another place I want to show you, my garden sunroom~”

At this moment, Windsor’s voice sounded from behind, making Ciel’s heart feel a little relieved.

Windsor, unintentionally, had helped Ciel out of a difficult situation.

“Miss Ciel, you go up first, heh heh heh…”

Lafayette looked at Windsor and said, “Windsor, stay a moment. There are some things I want to tell you.”

“Uh… Ciel, you go up first. I’ll be right there.”

Windsor’s face showed a little reluctance, but she still moved aside a little for Ciel.

Ciel nodded and silently left. She walked out of the passage and reached the surface.

Only when she saw the light outside did she feel some relief from the pressure.

At this moment, underground, Windsor looked at Lafayette before her with some confusion and asked, “Teacher Lafayette, why did you ask me to stay? I need to go and be with my friend.”

She couldn’t wait to express her affection for Ciel in the sunroom… She would influence Ciel and keep Ciel’s limbs until Ciel accepted her—or her mind collapsed.

This was Windsor’s pleasure.

“Don’t touch her, Windsor… heh heh heh…”

Lafayette’s gloomy laughter came from under her bandages. “She is a ‘Detective’… She faced the Other Side even when she was an ordinary person. She would be an excellent candidate for a Saintess…”

“Tsk…”

Windsor slightly frowned.

She already regretted bringing Ciel to Lafayette. It would have been better to strike first.

“Don’t worry, Windsor…”

Lafayette raised her hand and gently stroked Windsor’s head. She said, “She will be yours eventually.”
