The Speedrun Manual of Miss Witch - Chapter 281

The outpost in Berren City apparently had a Tier 3 “Radiant Bishop” who completed a summoning of a Divine Servant. They had learned this from an informant planted within the Church of the Savior Goddess.

Recalling that they had been in Berren City not long ago, which she learned from idle chat with Tara…

As if to confirm her somewhat unrealistic suspicion, Percy looked at Ciel and asked, “The Divine Servant in Berren City… was it you who summoned it?”

“If you’re referring to the one at Deton Manor.” Ciel nodded and admitted directly, “Yes.”

Percy choked.

Now, she seemed to somewhat understand why Archbishop Tara was so obedient to the young lady before her.

Her identity might be even more exaggerated than she imagined…

Perhaps she was an envoy or even a kin from the Mother Goddess… Otherwise, it would be difficult to understand why Teacher Tara, who was the most fervent, would be so respectful to her.

At this moment, Ciel glanced at the time on the system panel before her.

Time was almost up…

Let’s add the summoning of a Divine Servant to the list… And she should try to establish a connection with that Divine Servant using 【Omniscient】. Although there would be an extra noisy voice in her mind, it would make summoning much easier.

However…

Thinking of this, Ciel felt a little confused.

How come she hadn’t heard from Little Left in a long time?

Did that Pure White Knight not return the pendant to Little Left?

And the Pure White Knight hadn’t contacted her since killing Forte.

Somewhat aloof.

Perhaps all beings from the Other Side were like this. After all, compared to humans, they were indeed higher-tier beings.

Ciel told Tara and Percy to “wait a moment,” then stood up. She walked from the sofa to the desk, picked up a pen, and began writing directly on the 【Endless Manual of Instant Forgetfulness】 placed there, adding the details of summoning a Divine Servant.

Then, Ciel directly opened the system panel and looked at the number of Future Days in the simulation.

「Future Days: 71 Days (Holy Year 741, October 3rd, 3:20 PM) (Cost: 100 Fate Points)」

71 days later…?

Unexpectedly long…

However, for the current Ciel, the longer the simulation time, the better. The further into the future, the more information Ciel could obtain.

But… 100 Fate Points cost?

It seemed she would have to find a way to earn a little in the simulation…

Ciel shifted her gaze from the panel to the Endless Manual on the desk. A silver light flashed, and the Endless Manual disappeared from sight, returning to the system inventory.

After doing all this, Ciel looked at Tara, who was still sitting on the sofa, and said, “Tara, I need to sleep for a while.”

“Alright, I will keep watch around you.” Tara seemed very familiar with this routine. She stood up and said respectfully to Ciel.

Immediately after, in Tara’s and Percy’s eyes, Ciel, who had been perfectly conscious, suddenly went limp, slumping onto the desk, like a puppet whose soul had been drawn out.

Percy said nothing, but after waiting a few minutes, she still couldn’t resist. She looked at Tara, who was still standing respectfully, and asked softly, “Lord Ciel… what’s wrong with her?”

“I don’t know.” Tara knew Ciel had gone to wander her divine realm, but she had promised Ciel to keep her identity secret. So Tara lied directly. Of course, she also knew that her lie wouldn’t fool Percy.

After a short while, Percy finally asked the question that had been bothering her.

“Is Lord Ciel… an envoy sent by the Mother Goddess?”

Percy looked at Tara and asked.

Tara, however, simply looked up at Percy meaningfully, then slowly shook her head and said, “Of course not.”

“Then who is she…?”

Percy wanted to continue asking, but Tara had already stopped speaking, seemingly unwilling to answer any more questions.

…

「Future Days」

「Holy Year 741, October 3rd, 3:20 PM」

「Countdown – 23:59:59」

A blinding silver light flashed before Ciel’s eyes. Gradually, Ciel regained her senses of everything around her and slowly opened her eyes.

Because of her previous experience of being controlled upon entering, this time, the moment Ciel arrived in the simulation, she immediately activated 【Precognitive Sight】. The three-dimensional overhead view in her mind was scanning everything around her.

This is…

Ciel was holding a quill pen. A drop of still-wet ink fell from the tip, dropping onto the oak desktop before her.

The golden afternoon sunlight streamed through the leaded glass onto Ciel. Turning her head, she could see the spires of the college outside.

And what Ciel was about to write was an article in Old Ansu language… No, not write, but—correct.

Ciel looked up. The previously chattering classroom instantly fell silent. Everyone looked in Ciel’s direction, holding their breath—their faces showing a hint of fear, seeming somewhat afraid to meet Ciel’s gaze.

And in the front seat of the tiered classroom, the only person standing was currently pursing her lips tightly, staring directly at Ciel.

“Avena… hurry… the teacher is going to get angry.” The girl beside her whispered to Avena, also gently kicking Avena’s shoe to remind her not to get distracted.

“Ciel…” Avena’s face flushed. Finally, as if unable to bear the humiliation, she squeezed out the next word from between her teeth, “Teacher… I’ll be more careful with my words next time…!”

Wait? I’m a teacher now?

What’s going on now? How did I end up at school?

How are things going elsewhere? What about the church merger? Have I entered Imogen’s set world again?

Dong——

Dong——

A bell rang, and the heavy atmosphere in the classroom quickly dispersed. Several people yelled “Thank you, Teacher” and then fled, seemingly very afraid of Ciel.

Ciel, still confused, could only point at Avena and say, “Avena, come to my office.”

Avena followed Ciel with a cold face, while the other students all showed expressions of pity for Avena, anticipating her misfortune.
