The Speedrun Manual of Miss Witch - Chapter 244

“Save, No.11.”

【No.11: “Source of Cholera” Ciel】

【Reality】

【Holy Year 741, July 19th, 6:14 PM】

【Evaluation: Kill kill kill kill kill kill!!!】

【So powerful? City-destroying!】

【This is an accomplishment that is difficult to surpass, a national-level municipal project. It perfectly resolved the planning errors, making the population uniform and average across both the sparsely populated West District and the densely populated East District. With 2,741,257 citizens affected, there are notably no objections, nor are there any stubborn residents unwilling to move ^^】

【The system now grants you the title of “City Planner.” May the Host achieve further brilliance on the path of city planning!】

【Accept this. This is what you deserve based on your performance.】

【Rewards: Fate Points × 340, 【Nemesis Lv.4】, 【Dexterity Lv.4】】

【Fate Points: 911】

340 Fate Points, huh…

Ciel slowly opened her eyes, looking at the gradually fading system screen. She took a deep breath.

The points were considerable… but there was still some gap compared to what Ciel had in mind.

Was it because Adele had assisted with the pathogen research? But Ciel herself had also executed at least 2 Tier 4 individuals… and countless Tier 3 individuals were killed by her hand.

Could it be because…

Ciel thought of a possibility.

That was, these people had already been killed once by the Grim Worm she had summoned before, and the Fate Points gained from killing them a second time would obviously be less.

Ciel frowned slightly.

Should she have killed Eleanor and Percy before she left? At least Percy hadn’t died before. Eleanor, on the other hand, had been used as a vessel for a descent.

However, Percy wasn’t as absolutely loyal to her as Tara was. If she had truly made a move on Eleanor or Percy, it would inevitably panic the other person… Ciel didn’t have the confidence to kill both of them simultaneously.

Ciel had witnessed the escape abilities of the “Ascetic” and “Avenger” paths.

“Phew…”

Ciel slowly exhaled, letting go of these complicated thoughts.

At least, her initial idea of earning more Fate Points had been successfully accomplished.

340 Fate Points was more than Ciel had ever gained in a single simulation before. Even after upgrading 【Calm Mind】 to Lv.5, she would still have 411 Fate Points left. For Ciel, her goal had been achieved.

Ciel didn’t hesitate. She directly opened the system panel, went to the 【Skills】 page, and found 【Calm Mind Lv.4】.

【Do you want to upgrade 【Calm Mind Lv.4】 to 【Calm Mind Lv.5】?】

“Yes.”

Ciel silently confirmed in her mind.

【Fate Points – 500】

【【Calm Mind Lv.4】→【Calm Mind Lv.5】】

【Calm Mind Lv.5: You can maintain calm thinking in any situation. Mental power is greatly increased】

Mental power increased… And the modifier before the skill description changed from “in more extreme situations” to “in any situation”…

A cool sensation surged from Ciel’s head to her limbs, causing her to shiver.

Ciel was surprised to find that at this moment, all the whispers and static in her mind had disappeared… Even the aftereffects from the Other Side that had remained from before had vanished without a trace.

No, they were still there.

But their sound occupied only a very small part, so faint that Ciel couldn’t find them unless she actively searched.

Undoubtedly, Ciel’s mental power had been strengthened to a remarkably high level at this moment. Compared to before, it was a world of difference.

No wonder upgrading to Lv.5 required 500 Fate Points… It was indeed worth it.

It seemed that Lv.5 was a significant threshold. Other skills were likely to have a qualitative leap after crossing this threshold as well.

However, Ciel’s current Fate Points could no longer support upgrading other skills to Lv.5. Otherwise, she would have liked to try upgrading Charm or Nemesis to Lv.5 to see what would happen.

So, next…

Ciel looked at the notebook placed before her. At this moment, she wasn’t overly excited.

Because there was one thing she hadn’t resolved yet.

Forte…

This ticking time bomb could no longer be left as is.

Ciel felt that at present, she could still go to the Other Side one or two more times, at most three…

She had to kill Forte…

To completely kill Forte and make him fall into an infinite death loop until he was completely gone.

Ciel had to kill Forte once in reality to confirm the time and location of Forte’s rewind in reality… Then, she had to set up an Other Side node at the location of Forte’s rewind, sending him into the Other Side infinitely.

How to set up a barrier at the location of Forte’s rewind beforehand?

This could be done in Past Days simulation.

But Ciel needed Percy’s help. She herself was not absolutely confident she could kill Forte alone.

Moreover, it would be best to drag Pope of the Church of the God of Order into it… That Pope, who could capture Forte in the simulation, must have some extraordinary abilities.

Contacting that Pope in reality…?

Although this was very dangerous and would go against Ciel’s initial intention of not exposing herself to others, she had to do it.

However, to meet that Pope, she had to bring Percy… as a safeguard.

“Tara.”

Ciel looked towards the door and called out.

Thump thump——

After two light knocks on the door, Tara directly pushed the door open, looked at Ciel, and said, “Lord Ciel, you were looking for me…”

The moment she met Ciel’s gaze, Tara’s heart trembled slightly.

Whether it was her illusion or not, she felt that Lord Ciel’s eyes seemed even colder… And the feeling of palpitation from her gaze was even more pronounced.

Lord Mother Goddess’s power… has recovered significantly?

Tara’s heart leaped with joy.
