The Speedrun Manual of Miss Witch - Chapter 221

Ciel’s words made Eleanor freeze. Her eyes behind the mask stared blankly at Ciel before her. She seemed to not believe what her ears had heard.

Ciel hadn’t lied in saying this either.

She could indeed “rewind.”

Because after the simulation ended, in the time point of reality, the Saintess had not yet died.

In a way, Ciel returning to reality was a kind of time rewind. She could even carry memories back and change the “past” and the future.

“You… can?”

Eleanor took a deep breath. After composing herself, when she looked at Ciel again, her eyes behind the mask were filled with eagerness.

But at the same time, Eleanor was also filled with apprehension.

Although the current Church of the Savior Goddess wanted to cooperate with Ciel and the organization behind her, their most passive point was that they didn’t know what Ciel actually needed. They didn’t know what Ciel lacked.

To be honest, what the Church of the Savior Goddess currently possessed wasn’t much.

Besides the vast wealth, assets, and various potion materials the Church had accumulated since its inception, the greatest sincerity they could offer was their large number of believers and the cutting-edge power of the Holy See.

But these things, they presumed, Ciel did not lack.

Just then, Ciel spoke.

“If you want my help… there is one point you need to clarify.”

Ciel looked at Eleanor before her and slowly said, “You know that when time is rewound, Forte, including yourselves, will have no memory of it.”

“An ordinary young girl finds you and says she saved your Saintess… How to make the people of your Church believe this is what you should consider.”

Eleanor subtly sensed something.

“You want…”

Eleanor attempted to ask.

“Absolute power that can, in a past time point, make you believe me at no cost.”

Ciel slowly said, “This won’t affect you now, will it?”

“This…”

Eleanor pondered.

Ciel’s request, strictly speaking, would not affect the Church.

If it was just a request for power to control the church in the past, it wouldn’t have any impact on the current church. But if the other party truly gained this power and truly went back to the past, would she truly not use this power to do other things?

Unless some additional conditions were placed on this power… But discussing how to limit such power would require several meetings.

Seemingly noticing Eleanor’s hesitation, Ciel said, “I advise you to go back to the Holy See now and discuss with them how this matter should be cooperated… Because in a few hours, I will rewind to the past… Give me an answer within five hours.”

Eleanor looked deeply at Ciel before her. She stood up and slightly bowed towards Ciel, “Your Excellency, I will give you a response as soon as possible.”

“One last question…”

Eleanor straightened up and looked at Ciel before her, asking, “What Forte said about the church merger… is it true? In a certain time point in the future, the Church of the Savior Goddess and the Divine Advent Church, did they truly merge?”

“With due respect, this is almost impossible…”

This was something Eleanor and the high-ranking members of the Church of the Savior Goddess were worried about—the conflict between the Divine Advent Church and the Church of the Savior Goddess had reached an almost irreconcilable point. None of them believed that the two factions would actually successfully merge.

“You thought the same before you saw the Grim Worm.”

Ciel smiled slightly. “It was the manifestation of the Grim Worm… that caused a few people to fall into eternal sleep.”

Grim Worm… manifested…

Eleanor’s heart skipped a beat. She never expected that the huge conflict between the two churches would be resolved by such a dramatic “deus ex machina.” It was outside of common sense, yet within reason.

“You had better discuss the result quickly.”

Ciel waved her hand, not wanting to answer any more questions, “I’m planning to sleep before I go back.”

“Okay…”

Although her heart was somewhat stirred, Eleanor, who wanted to ask how to summon the Grim Worm, desperately wanted to continue asking questions, but she also knew that asking any further would be impolite.

She had to return to the Holy See quickly, report this matter to the Pope, and discuss a result as soon as possible.

Although giving great power to someone else might cause major problems… what problem could be more urgent than being hunted by the other organizations? They were already on the brink of life and death, tottering.

After Eleanor expressed her respect to Ciel and Avena again, her figure directly transformed into a black shadow and dissipated, disappearing from the spot.

Only after Eleanor left did Avena put down her black tea cup and look at Ciel beside her.

“Going back… to the past?”

Avena heard this for the first time. She looked at Ciel and asked with some surprise, “Ciel… is this true?”

“Yes.”

Ciel looked at Avena beside her and nodded slightly. “Do you remember the phenomenon of my mental power suddenly weakening from time to time? That is a manifestation of having rewound once… Perhaps in that instant, I had spent an entire day in another timeline.”

According to the system, Ciel revealing things like time travel in the simulation would not cause any disastrous consequences, as long as she didn’t mention it in reality. So Ciel didn’t hide anything.

Moreover, she was also very curious about Avena’s reaction upon hearing these things.

“Then…”

Avena’s brain was working, trying to understand the concept of time travel. She hesitated and asked, “All those potions you wanted before…”

“Yes,” Ciel nodded, “I basically tried all of them.”

“No wonder.”

Avena felt like she had stumbled upon another secret of Ciel’s, and it was a shocking one.

Moreover, the strange things Ciel had done before now also had an explanation.

“But, after rewinding, I will forget all this, won’t I?”

Avena’s mind came up with a new question.

There was no helping it. Anyone faced with such miraculous abilities would be unable to control their inner curiosity.

Ciel: “Yes.”

“That’s good.”

Avena shook her head. “At least I won’t remember the sad things from before.”

After asking a few more questions, including about Adele’s matter, and confirming that everything was alright, Avena breathed a sigh of relief and stood up, walking to Ciel.

“When you drink different potions, will the influence of different potions cause your personality to change in different ways?”

Avena slightly bent down in front of Ciel and asked.

This was something she was very curious about.

“Sort of… Some are more volatile, some are more cold-blooded, some like to cause trouble, some like to gamble everything at the drop of a hat… and so on…”

Ciel nodded and yawned again. She said, “Can I go back up and sleep some more…?”

There were actually so many different personalities of Ciel…

She really wanted to see them all…

Thinking about it this way, had different versions of herself in different timelines experienced the “flavor” of different Ciels?

This was just too… exciting, wasn’t it?

But the Ciels influenced by other potions sounded like they were not easy to deal with. It felt like she would be the one to suffer.

But the Ciel influenced by the “Coroner” potion seemed like she was easy to bully.

Avena slowly raised her hand and pinched Ciel’s cheek, gently rubbing it.

But Ciel just looked at her speechlessly, without any action. She didn’t even bother to raise her hand to stop her.

She gently pushed Ciel’s shoulder, and Ciel was very easily pushed back against the sofa cushion.

Avena looked at Ciel, who was looking at her with a bewildered expression. She had to consider if this was the only opportunity she had in her life.
