Miss Witch's Speed Run Manual
Page 22
Two notebooks and two bottles of potions, this is the most valuable thing in her bag.
"Ciel?!"
A somewhat surprised call caught Charles' attention.
Amy lifted her skirt and ran across the garden, trotting to Charles. Her face was full of surprise, as if she didn't expect Charles to actually come.
Fortunately...nothing embarrassing happened.
Charles looked at Amy with a smile, handed her the vanilla pudding in his hand, and said, "This dress suits you very well, Amy."
"How do you know I like this?" Amy opened her eyes wide and took the pudding from Charles's hand. She couldn't hide the smile on her face. "Their pudding is super hard to buy. Not only is it limited, but the supply time is also random. I won't make any money..."
Ciel had heard her complain about this in the simulation, so he remembered what Amy liked to eat.
"Let's eat it together later. This must be eaten with black tea..." Amy held the pudding in one hand and took Charles' hand with the other hand, leading her into the garden, as if she was afraid that Charles would run away if she didn't catch him.
Charles came this time to repay Amy for the favor of passing on the information she had given him before.
When the banquet was halfway through, everything was normal. As long as Charles didn't mention the Blackwater Gang or anything like that, he wouldn't be asked to leave like in the simulation.
She found a place in a corner and sat down, listening to the conversation between the noble ladies.
It wasn't that Ciel didn't want to interrupt, it was because she simply couldn't understand what they were talking about.
Perfumes, cosmetics, accessories, desserts... This tea party, held in the name of communication and learning, basically discussed everything except learning.
Except for the beginning when she was entertaining others, Amy spent almost the entire rest of the time by Charles' side, chattering beside her, and Charles kept agreeing with her.
How did she manage to keep the conversation going for an entire hour without repeating a single thing? Not even a single thing overlapped with the conversation in the simulation.
He's such a talkative person. I should give some of his eloquence to Avina.
"By the way, Amy." Charles suddenly thought of something and said, "Have you heard of dehydration?"
"Dehydration?" Amy was stunned. One second she was discussing whether to use tomato sauce or strawberry sauce on Italian noodles, but the next second her thoughts jumped to something strange. Amy shook her head and said, "I've never heard of it."
"What about the unexplained illness? In the Clocktower Alley area?" Charles continued to ask.
"I don't know..." Amy scratched her head, but quickly reacted and looked at Charles nervously, "Did something happen in Clocktower Alley? Aren't you..."
Amy realized later that she had made a mistake, so she lowered her head and took a big bite of cake to hide her embarrassment.
Ciel didn't care. In the second simulation, she already knew that Amy knew her address, but she had always been concerned about her face and didn't say it out.
"It's nothing serious. I just heard an officer talking about it at the police station." Charles shook his head and said with a smile, "It's okay if I don't know. It's not a big deal."
"Police station?" When Amy heard this, she raised her head suddenly and her eyes lit up.
She stood up with her hands on the table and said, "Charles, wait for me."
Before Charles could react, Amy rushed into the villa. In an instant, Charles had a bad premonition in his heart.
This silly child...isn't she going to look for her father again?
I've been kicked out of the simulation once, so I have to be kicked out of reality too?
While Charles was thinking about whether to take the opportunity to slip away, Amy had already run back.
"Charles, come here," Amy took the opportunity to hold Charles' hand and said with a smile, "Father said he wants to see you."
really.
After hesitating for a while, Charles stood up and walked forward with Amy leading him.
This time, I'm not entangled in the affairs of the Blackwater Gang, and I don't have any connection with the church, so I shouldn't be expelled...
Although he had been there once in the simulation, it was only described in the text. Charles had never actually met Amy's father. He was still a little nervous when meeting his parents for the first time.
Charles was taken to the study on the first floor. The study was designed on the first floor to facilitate visitors' entry. It seemed that Amy's father often received guests at home.
When Charles opened the study door, he saw a tall, thin middle-aged man with half-white hair and a straight back, looking very capable.
"Lord Hastings." Charles curtsied slightly and looked up at the baron.
Chapter 16: Investigating Dehydration After Days of Simulation
"Miss Charles, right? I often hear my daughter talk about you. Just call me Mr. Moser."
To Charles's surprise, Baron Moser Hastings did not seem so difficult to talk to, perhaps because the reason why he was called over this time was different.
"Amy told me you found a job at the police station?" Moser walked to the tables in the center of the study and extended his hand slightly toward the sofa. "Please sit down."
"Yes, I'm in the Investigation Department, working as an assistant to Miss Avina." Charles said truthfully. She believed that the information could not be hidden from the other party.
"Avina Fitzgerald?" Mercer looked surprised.
"Yes, the one who lives at number 15." Charles nodded.
"You seem to have a good relationship with her." Moser smiled.
"We just had a few words."
Moser could not deny this answer.
Just a few words? How can you know where her home is after just a few words?
"Didn't you ask Miss Avina directly about the matters in the Clock Tower Lane area?" Moser asked directly.
The next answer is crucial. If you answer correctly, you might know what happened in Clocktower Lane. If you answer incorrectly, Moser will definitely not say anything.
"I'm going to Clocktower Lane with her tomorrow, but I didn't ask much. Now that I think about it, it seems a little unusual." Charles spoke with a mixture of truth and falsehood.
"Clock Tower Lane is still a bit dangerous... Miss Charles, have you ever considered changing jobs?" Moser pondered for a moment before asking, "I heard you're interested in law. Are you interested in working at the Magistrates' Court?"
"My father is the justice of the peace. He can help you." At this time, Amy, who had been sitting next to Moser, nodded repeatedly and agreed.
No wonder Amy was so confident that Charles could get a letter of recommendation for law school when she gave him the invitation letter...it turns out his father is the Chief Justice of the city of Burren.
At this time, Baron Moser was a little speechless about his beloved daughter.
It feels like watching your own cabbage rush forward and be pushed away by others.
It seemed that as long as the girl named Charles was present, he, as a father, would become just a tool.
However, the girl named Charles is also very good. She is both good in character and academic performance. Her learning ability is among the best even in the Burren Private Academy. The most important thing is that she is also very interested in law, and her teachers also say that she has a talent for law.
Apart from his humble origins, he has no shortcomings.
With a little training, and letting her take Amy to learn, maybe she can train two justices for me and help me build connections in the political and legal circles in Ansu.
"Thank you, Mr. Moser, it's my pleasure," Charles said after a moment's hesitation, "but I've already received Avina's salary, and I have to help her finish her work this week."
"No problem, you can come to me anytime after you finish your work over there." Moser nodded secretly.
Even when there was a better position waiting for him, Charles was able to resist temptation and keep his promise. This is a rare and precious quality.
With the help of [The Art of Conversation Lv.1], Moser's appreciation for Ciel grew.
He planned to observe for a while longer. If this Charles was really good, he would be willing to sponsor Charles and Amy to go to the same university. His daughter was good in every way, but when it came to studying, she really needed someone excellent to guide her.
"But you have to be careful. It's best not to go to the Clock Tower Alley area recently. If you want to go, you must be accompanied by Avina." Moser thought of something and reminded.
"Did something happen in Clocktower Lane?" Charles asked with some confusion.
"I don't know exactly what happened," Moser shook his head and said, "It was just a personal friend who reminded me not to go, and I trust his judgment."
"Some time ago, he said that something big would happen to the Blackwater Gang, but then the leader of the Blackwater Gang died suddenly and inexplicably in the early hours of this morning."
Did he predict in advance that something would happen to the Blackwater Party... No wonder when the simulated Richard mentioned the Blackwater Party, Moser quickly distanced himself from him.
Now the mysterious man has predicted again that something will happen in Clocktower Lane...it seems something has indeed happened.
"Father...Father!" Amy heard that there was danger in Clocktower Lane and couldn't help but raise her hand to shake Moser's arm. She asked nervously, "Don't we have some houses next to the police station? Can we rent one to Ciel?"
Moser: "..."
The original close-fitting cotton jacket seemed to have someone else's name written on it.
"Whatever," Moser rubbed his temple and said helplessly, "You guys go out and play, I still have some things to take care of."
"Thank you, Father!" Amy immediately let go of Moser's arm, jumped to Charles' side, took her hand and ran out, "After the tea party is over, I will take you to see the house..."
Charles, who was being pulled away at this time, always felt something was wrong.
Am I... considered to be being kept by a rich woman?
Charles did not stay until the end of the tea party, but made an excuse to go back to the Clocktower Lane area.
However, she had an appointment with Amy to go house-hunting after the graduation ceremony tomorrow, so Amy didn't seem disappointed, but started looking forward to tomorrow.
On the way back, Charles packed a portion of ansulite and almond meringue, which cost him about 4 shillings. Lizzie liked some nutty desserts, so he took some back for her to try.
During this journey, Charles was no longer as relaxed as when she came here. The information she heard along the way almost reminded her that there were dangers lurking in the Clock Tower Alley area.
no......
She had to go and see what was going on before any danger happened. She was afraid that the longer time passed, the more likely it would be that something irreversible would happen.
Perhaps because she walked too fast, she licked her lips and felt a little thirsty.
When passing by the Bell Tower Church in Bell Tower Lane, Charles threw two pennies into the prayer box as a return to the goddess.
After quickly returning to his home in Clocktower Lane, Charles placed the dessert on the table, ran upstairs to the room, and opened his notepad.
[1. Record the results of your investigation with Avina. It would be best if you could get information from her about what exactly happened in Clocktower Alley.]
[2. When you are about to leave, you can try to do some excessive things to Avina to see if the contract is really effective. If the contract is still effective, she will not have any resistance.]
[3. Ask my sister to take a leave tomorrow, take her to the graduation ceremony, and then go house hunting together. Once we've found a good location, move in that evening and do everything in my power to convince my sister to quit her job.]
[4. Go to the Bell Tower Church to pray every day, see if you can meet Julis, and observe if the church has any actions.]
After writing this, Ciel put down his pencil and turned on the system.
「来日:16Day(圣741年7月4日11:58)(消耗10命定点)」
Sixteen days later?
Ciel had never been so far into the future.
"Today."
"No. 2."
As Charles silently recited in his heart, a silver light enveloped him.
Chapter 36: The Abyss of Despair (Part 5)
"Today"
「圣741年7月4日11:58」
"Countdown - 23:59:59"
Ciel slowly opened his eyes in bed.
When she opened her eyes, she saw the familiar ceiling.
Familiar...ceiling?
Charles suddenly turned over and got up. A dark shadow appeared behind her and leaned against Charles' back.
Isn't this 16 days later?
Why was he still at 44 Nanbei Stone Street? Why was he still in Zhongta Alley?
A damp and moldy smell reached Ciel's nose, and she frowned.
I've never smelled this smell at home.
It was drizzling outside. I got out of bed, walked to the desk, and opened the notebook directly.
【圣741年6月18号,晚上7点30】
Since returning, I'm not sure if it's just psychological factors, but my thirst has gotten worse than it did at Jazz Bridge. This isn't normal, and I'm feeling a growing sense of unease.
When my sister came back from her break at 6:30 to eat, I told her straight out that I was going to work for my friend’s father, Lord Hastings, at the Magistrates’ Court, where Lord Hastings was a Justice of the Peace. I lied about my salary to make her believe I could make a lot of money.
My sister cried while eating dessert. She was happy that I could study law again, a field I loved. She agreed to take the next day off and attend the graduation ceremony. She took me to thank Amy.
But my sister refused to resign, saying that working together would help us save for tuition faster. This time, I was very firm and insisted that she move out with me. To that end, I revealed some information to her: the dangers of Clock Tower Lane.
My sister and I have left the Clock Tower Alley area and rented a hotel next to the police station, but I didn't sleep with my sister. I stayed outside the hotel. My dry mouth is getting worse. I didn't drink any water on the way to the hotel, and my lips are already chapped.
