The Speedrun Manual of Miss Witch - Chapter 258

Avena, holding Ciel’s letter, set off with Nia.

And Ciel stayed in the room. She quickly finished writing the plan that Tara could completely understand, then handed the notepaper to Tara.

At this point in time, Amy and Adele were both in the hotel. Tara directly memorized all the key points Ciel had described, which felt like a prediction of the future, then immediately went to find Amy and Adele and began to carry out the plan Ciel had given her.

Ciel, who remained at the hotel, was not in a hurry to leave. Instead, she went directly to the front desk and asked the attendant for Lucy’s whereabouts.

If her theory was correct, and the Forte in the Past Days simulation truly had wounds appear on him and received the hint of the third death, as a “Schrödinger’s cat” observed when the box is opened, then what happened in reality would definitely happen again in the simulation.

Therefore, Ciel needed to find Lucy immediately and have her take all her subordinates and get on the nearest train, or even a freight train, and leave Ansu.

The farther they went, the better.

This could stall Forte and make him lose his direction of investigation.

During her time in Ansu since her arrival, Lucy had been very diligent in helping Ciel and the others find a place to live and build their relationship. Basically, shortly after every meal, she would come over with some dessert to visit—this time was no exception.

Ciel met Lucy at the staircase and handed her a letter.

Written on the notepaper was what Lucy was to do—something that would seem completely nonsensical to outsiders.

“Take all your subordinates… on vacation?”

Lucy looked at the notepaper in her hand and murmured, “What… does this mean?”

“This is the organization’s first test for you.”

Ciel didn’t explain further. She knew what Lucy wanted. “If you pass, we will consider recruiting you into the organization.”

“Really?”

Lucy instantly became energetic, but she didn’t think things would be that simple.

“Don’t worry. I will complete the task perfectly and as quickly as possible.”

How could a test from a mysterious organization be as simple as just taking subordinates on vacation?

And it even requires taking the nearest train?

This nearest train is the key point… The organization’s real test will appear on this train, or along the way.

Lucy’s imagination ran wild about the difficulty of the test. She quickly left the hotel and began gathering all her subordinates.

Meanwhile, Ciel, having assigned everything, also walked directly out and got into a carriage heading to the Holy See of the Church of the God of Order.

Among the three parallel task lines, the line assigned to Amy and the others was the simplest. The matter of winning over Eleanor had succeeded multiple times in the simulation. Ciel had rich experience and could ensure that the things she taught Tara were correct.

Avena’s task was also not difficult. Based on Ciel’s conversations with Charles in several simulations, Ciel could see from Charles’s language and behavior that he had a certain debt of guilt towards Avena deep in his heart.

As for things like cooperating to kill Forte in reality, Charles was already hesitating and considering agreeing. Simple things like changing the location of the banquet should not be difficult for Duke Charles to refuse, let alone when Avena herself went to him.

However, Ciel’s side had more variables.

Previously, when contacting the Pope of the Church of the God of Order, Ciel had gone to negotiate with the protection of a Tier 4. But this time, Ciel was alone… Ciel was not sure if the cooperation could be established.

Strictly speaking, all three task lines had a certain degree of variability, but this was the method of task distribution with the highest success rate that Ciel could find.

Next, it was up to human effort and fate.

When the carriage stopped in front of the Holy See of the Church of the God of Order, Ciel got out of the carriage and glanced around.

The situation of a large-scale cavalry blockade had not yet occurred… This did not necessarily mean it was a good thing. If Ciel’s theory was correct, even in the simulation, the blockade should still exist…

However, the simulation had only just started less than twenty minutes ago. Moreover, it was nighttime this time. Forte wasn’t even necessarily in the West District or Ansu City. She would have to wait a little longer before drawing conclusions.

At this moment, Ciel was still wearing the black robe of the Judicator’s Court. Before she entered the Holy See of the Church of the God of Order, she was very naturally stopped.

Knowing that directly asking to see the Pope was useless, Ciel, just as before, explained to the guards that she was here to see Cardinal Henry and had the guard who went to inform him take a note.

On the note were the words “Other Side” written in Old Ansu language by Ciel. Upon seeing this, Henry would definitely come to see her.

Having experienced this twice in the simulation, Ciel proceeded very quickly. For the person in this simulation, Ciel was truly a “multi-game player.”

If she could skip dialogue like in a game, the speed could be even faster.

This time, besides demonstrating the Other Side, Ciel also had to explain that she had no connection to the Church of the Savior Goddess…
