The Speedrun Manual of Miss Witch-Chapter 225

Tara cautiously held Ciel’s hand and walked towards the mansion, temporarily moving away from the lively scene outside.

Her steps were unfaltering. It seemed she knew exactly where she was taking Ciel.

Soon, Ciel was led to a rather secluded guest room. She directly pushed open the door and guided Ciel inside.

Inside, a person completely shrouded in black robes was seated. Even her face was covered with a black veil. If not for her rather lady-like seated posture, it would be impossible to distinguish her gender based solely on her appearance.

Upon seeing Tara enter, the person immediately stood up and slightly bowed towards Tara, saying respectfully, “Teacher.”

“I have said many times, Your Excellency Percy, there is no need to call me teacher. Your knowledge and experience are far greater than mine.”

Tara first replied to the person, then turned to look at Ciel, saying, “Lord Ciel, this is the person you asked me to introduce. She arrived today.”

“What you are skilled in is precisely what I am weak in. You can naturally be called my teacher.”

Percy looked at Ciel and also bowed slightly, saying, “Hello, my name is Percy.”

Although Ciel couldn’t see Percy’s exact appearance, she seemed to sense Ciel’s extraordinary nature from Tara’s attitude towards Ciel, so she also maintained respect towards Ciel.

Ciel also smiled and nodded, saying, “Good evening, Percy.”

“Oh, right, Lord Ciel.”

Tara picked up a package in the room and handed it to Ciel, then said, “This is the item you instructed me to give you.”

Ciel raised her hand and took the package Tara handed her. After opening it, she found several bottles of potion inside, and a notebook. The moment she saw the notebook, Ciel slowly breathed a sigh of relief.

Forte was at the banquet outside at this moment. Ciel didn’t dare to speak casually—she knew that transcendents of the “Musician” path were extremely sensitive to sound, let alone a Tier 4 powerhouse like Forte.

Perhaps every word they were speaking now was being monitored by Forte—Forte was simply too close to them.

Ciel did not want this simulation to end with her being captured by Forte without accomplishing anything. If that happened, she would be forced to leave this simulation and wait for the next opportunity.

Tara and the woman named Percy were waiting beside her, seemingly waiting for Ciel to speak about the next steps. But Ciel didn’t rush. Instead, she quickly flipped through the notebook.

【July 18th, 5 PM】

【Tara has already secretly sent out letters, but with the time it takes for a round trip and for the other party to arrive, it will likely be at the earliest around the time of the dinner party… The good news is that the Saintess will not die so soon. The bad news is that I will have to find another way to control Mond】

【I will first draft a plan, then use the “Subverter” save file to conceive another plan, and finally choose the more reasonable one to execute】

【July 18th, 11 PM】

【Damn it… The “Subverter” influenced me earlier and I opened the “Mastermind Sage’s Toy Box.” The side effect made me unable to recover until now…】

【At that time, my thought was that if I couldn’t come up with a more effective plan, I might as well use the simulation to figure out the characteristics of this “strongest” sealed artifact I currently possess and see if it can be of any use. It seems it actually worked… just in a negative way】

【I took out a strange golden insect carcass from it. It seems to be some kind of transcendent material. Just touching it made my entire body unbearably itchy. I almost relied on Avena’s hypnosis to get through these hours. If it weren’t for Avena, my entire skin might have been scratched open…】

【This sealed artifact cannot be used, at least absolutely not in combat. Heaven knows what other bizarre things will appear from it】

【But one thing is certain, there is indeed a need to study this thing in the simulation, and at least find a way to make it useful—if the system is not lying to me】

【I have obtained the “Subverter”‘s plan】

【First, brainwash the members of the Chaos Squad who haven’t been captured yet, make them believe that Mond is their contact person, and have them frequently contact people from the Church of the Savior Goddess—at least make the people from the Church of the Savior Goddess familiar with their disguised identities】

【Then, use the “Subverter” save file to directly find Mond, have the “Subverter” save file brainwash her, make her believe she is the Keyman, and have her redeem the scepter and Sacred Contract and give them to her, letting her complete the great feat of church reunification】

【Of course, a little “personal gain” must be mixed in, which is to make Mond believe that she is doing this to also start spreading the “Rotting Disease” in Ansu City, which will not only cause panic among the public but also anger the Church of the Savior Goddess, and even enrage the royal family】

【It is almost predictable that if things develop in this direction, it will definitely be an extraordinarily explosive scene… But this is not a reasonable plan. It is completely planned by the “Subverter” save file for fun】

【So I have made modifications to the original plan】

Ciel flipped the page.
