Miss Witch's Speed ​​Run Manual

what happened?

Did any of the chefs come back early?

Avina, holding two bags in her hands, walked towards the reception room in confusion and saw the scene inside.

Charles set the tableware at the table. There were several steaming plates on the table, and a pot was placed in the middle.

Avina carefully walked around the gravel. The sound of her footsteps caught Ciel's attention. She turned around and looked at Avina: "Are you back?"

"Yeah." Avina nodded, feeling an indescribable strangeness in her heart. She pointed to the dishes in front of her and asked, "Did you make this?"

"I usually cook at home." Charles didn't care. It just meant more knives and forks if there were more people. Cooking for one or three people wasn't actually more tiring. As long as he didn't have to wash the dishes, cooking was quite relaxing for Charles.

Avina walked around the table carefully and saw the food divided into three portions. It should be left for Nia, but Nia didn't need to eat.

"Where's Nia? Does she want to eat?" Charles asked as he sat down after setting the tableware.

"Well... she's not coming back so soon, so you can keep it for her and put it in the kitchen later." Avina said expressionlessly and told a little lie.

Avina didn't want Charles to feel that his efforts were wasted, so as for the extra food, she would just eat it secretly later.

"What is this?" After sitting opposite Charles, Avina pointed at the plate in front of her and couldn't help asking.

"Tomato scrambled eggs," Charles pointed at the other dishes and introduced them one by one. "This is spicy spinach, this is fried chicken with ginger and scallions, and that pot is carrot stewed with beef."

At this point, Charles shook his head helplessly and said, "There aren't many ingredients, so this is all I can do."

Apart from stew, she had hardly ever heard of anything else, and the staple food was bread.

Avina couldn't help but ask, "Is this... a specialty food from the Clocktower Alley area?"

"I found a recipe." After Charles finished speaking, he no longer paid attention to Avina and started to concentrate on eating, leaving Avina sitting alone in a daze.

Today's dinner was very different from the usual dishes carefully prepared by the chef, but the plain-looking dishes gave Avina an inexplicable sense of warmth.

After she picked up a piece of chicken with a fork, she looked at Charles and said weakly, "The chicken is boneless... Charles."

Seeing that Charles ignored her, Avina had to put down the chicken and put an egg into her mouth.

Sweet and sour...unexpectedly delicious...

The chicken is also delicious, but a little salty, so I have to take a bite of bread to neutralize it...

Stir-frying spinach with peppers is surprisingly delicious... I used to think it could only be used in salads or stewed in soups.

Before she knew it, Avina had finished all the dishes in front of her. She didn't know how long it had been since she felt so full.

Looking at Charles who was drinking stew in front of her, Avina was a little dazed. When Charles looked up at her, she shifted her gaze without leaving a trace.

"What's wrong?" Charles asked when he saw Avina hadn't moved. "Is it not tasty?"

"Delicious." Avina nodded, then asked curiously, "Char, you're not from Ansu, are you?"

"I'm from Ansu." Charles was a little confused.

"No, I'm praising you." Avina smiled slightly. "In Ansu City, the best compliment for a chef is to suspect that he is not from Ansu."

"Anzu's chefs can't make anything except stews, potato chips, salads, and terrible fish stew. We usually hire chefs from neighboring countries."

"Indeed." Ciel nodded, deeply acknowledging this. "Liki's barrier took me to the restaurant twice, but after those two times, we never went back."

"A wise choice." Avina agreed, not even noticing that she was smiling.

After Charles finished his soup, Avina took out the two bags and handed them to Charles.

"The black bag is a potion given by the church. It's the next level of the 'Avenger' path, the second-level 'Judge'. The yellow bag is a special mask obtained from the Redemption Society. Wearing it will prevent the spread of germs."

"But the church has a rule that potions cannot be resold. If you want to give it to the organization, remember to tell them not to spread it outside. Each bottle of potion has a special mark. If it is leaked and discovered, they will know who leaked it and may cause trouble for me."

"I see. Thank you." Ciel took the potion and the bag containing the mask and asked, "With this mask, I don't have to worry about spreading germs to others?"

The potion was originally prepared for himself, and Ciel had no intention of selling it.

"Yes." Avina nodded.

Charles took a deep breath, looked at Avina, and asked, "Where is my sister now?"

After getting the specific address, Ciel put down the potion, put on the mask, said "I'll be back later", and ran out.

After Charles' figure completely disappeared, Avina looked at the empty tableware in front of her and felt a little lost.

Will she ever have the chance to eat Ciel's food again? Sooner or later, she'll have to go to Anzu's.

Ansu...

Avina pulled out the necklace from her neck, stroked the family crest on it, and her expression gradually became indifferent.

...

In the jewelry district, outside the "Jingying" jewelry store.

Ciel paused at the door, breathless.

She wore a black hard mask on her face, covering her mouth and nose. It had many ventilation holes sealed with special silk and red inscriptions. From a distance, it looked like a black version of Jason's mask, which was a bit scary.

It seemed that because of the rumors and gossip, there were almost no people shopping in the usually busy jewelry district. Through the exquisite glass window, Charles saw a dazed blonde woman standing inside, her face wearing a gorgeous mask inlaid with gorgeous feathers.

Charles pushed the door open and rushed into the store, scaring the woman. Before she could see what was going on, she felt a familiar figure bump into her arms.

"Little Charles?"

Lizzie reached out and ruffled Ciel's hair, then hugged the girl in front of her tightly.

Chapter 60: Patient Adele? (5th update)

(I just posted the wrong chapter, please refresh if you see a duplicate)

"Uh...so you're recuperating at her house now?"

"Well, I was the one who arranged my sister's job."

"No wonder... When the factory owner came to me and told me I got a promotion, I was shocked. But when I saw your letter, I decided to go with him. But it's too quiet here, and the salary is so high, which makes me a little uneasy..."

"It's okay, sister. Miss Avina won't care at all. Her family is very rich. They wouldn't even bother to bend down and pick up a 100 Soviet pound bill if it fell on the ground."

"...Xiaer, tell me honestly, did Avina bully you? Or was it her...I saw her this morning and she seemed very fierce..."

Lizzie sat on the stool, hesitating, but in the end she didn't say anything.

Although I don’t know who that noble lady Avina is, but from what little Charles said, no matter how you look at it, it seems that he is being kept by that noble lady!

Those involved are often confused, but those who are on the sidelines can see things clearly. That Avina must be thinking about little Charles!

"Xiao Xiaer, what do you think of her?" Li Qi asked hesitantly.

"How should I put it? A poker face, likes to hide his inner thoughts, and has little life experience." Charles thought of Avina rushing forward with the needle to prevent Xie Lun from escaping, and added, "But he's also a bit kind."

When Ciel finished her recollection and looked up at Lizzie, she found that Lizzie was looking at her with a comforting smile.

"What's wrong?" Charles reached out and touched the mask, and asked, "Is the mask too ugly?"

"It's okay," Lizzie reached out and rubbed Ciel's head with a smile, "Since you're a good person, let's continue to get along well."

Then, Lizzie thought of something and reminded him, "But the gap between your statuses is too great. You can't give up studying. You must go to college, okay? If we start saving money now, we can save enough for the first installment of tuition."

Charles: “?”

Charles always felt that his sister's speech was a little strange, but he couldn't tell exactly what was strange.

"It's okay. By then I'll have saved enough money and take my sister to Anzu." Charles continued, "Then we can open a flower shop or something. You can be the manager, and I'll come over to help after class."

Hearing this, Lizzie's hand on Charles' head paused for a moment, then nodded in agreement: "Hmm..."

The two chatted in the store for almost three hours, and Charles left only when the store was about to close.

Now Lizzie lives upstairs from the jewelry store and can go home without even leaving the house.

But there was only one bed upstairs, and it was very difficult to breathe with the mask on, and it was impossible to sleep at all. In order to avoid infection, Charles chose to return to Avina.

Along the way, Charles felt extremely relaxed.

It feels like the peaceful daily life will soon return.

But if you want to protect this peaceful daily life, you need to have stronger power to resist the danger that may come at any time.

After all, this is not a peaceful world.

After returning to the manor, Avina found a guest room for Charles and gave him some of her own clothes.

After washing up, Charles lay down on the bed, thinking about how to contact Adele tomorrow.

Adele's teacher had such a big incident that it was impossible for Adele not to be investigated. It is estimated that we will not see her for a short time.

After hearing about the nature of Deton Manor last night, Charles felt that it was unlikely that High Priest Julis was a member of Deton Manor.

Charles had no idea what to do for the time being, so she could only go to bed. The next day, she was woken up by Avina, who urged her to change clothes.

After Charles changed his clothes and washed up, he put on a mask and got into the carriage with Avina.

The two came to the bustling central street and the carriage stopped in front of an exquisite small building. At this time, a long queue of more than a dozen people had formed in front of the building's door.

"Charles, please help me see if I've done anything wrong." Avina looked at the line of people in front of her, obviously a little nervous. She pulled Charles along as they walked and said, "These are all patients recommended by the Redemption Society."

Charles looked at the people in line with some curiosity and followed Avina into the building.

In this era, psychologists are not a common profession, and people don’t know much about psychological and mental problems. Many people come here just to give it a try.

Because the consultation fee was very cheap, only 5 pence, many people were curious, and when they heard that the patient was a good-looking young lady, they immediately became interested and lined up.

Avina entered a large office, and Charles sat at a small table behind her, flipping through some "psychologist's" handwriting in her hands, which Avina gave her.

Avina had seen these things before, and now was the time for her to put them into practice.

As the first patient was brought in by the nurse, Charles pricked up his ears and listened attentively.

But as patients came in, talked, and left one by one, Charles' expression under the mask began to become more and more strange.

Patient A: "I think my husband left me because I'm too ugly..."

Avina: "No, you are not ugly, just average looking."

Patient B: "I will never see you again as a psychiatrist. Who are you to tell me I need to lose weight?"

Avina: "Uh... by your weight?"

Patient B: "Screw you! What kind of psychiatrist would tell their patient they're fat?"

Avina: "Sighted."

As the patients slammed the door and left one by one, Charles finally couldn't sit still anymore. She walked behind Avina, grabbed her white coat and lifted her up.

"What's wrong?" Avina turned her head and looked at Charles innocently, asking, "I think I recovered well."

"No, you're a psychiatrist. How can you make every patient go away?" Charles took a deep breath, sat in Avina's seat, and said, "Let me show you what a psychiatrist should do."

Avina stood up and sat expressionlessly in the place where Charles had just sat. Before the next patient knocked on the door and came in, she said a little aggrievedly, "I think a psychologist's job is not to make patients feel better, but to make them really get better..."

Tuk-tuk-tuk——

Avina's whisper was interrupted by a knock on the door. Charles looked at the person who came, and a smile appeared on his face under the mask. He pointed to the stool in front of him and said softly, "Please sit down."

The middle-aged lady with her makeup smudged from crying sat down in front of him and said, "I feel very sad now. My husband goes out to find prostitutes every day and beats me when he comes back, and then..."

"...Doctor, how can I make myself feel better?"

Charles took a deep breath, clenched his right fist, and slowly said, "If you don't shut up, wipe your tears, and go back and get a divorce immediately, I'm going to beat you!"

"How could you do this!"

boom--!

Charles stood up silently, pulled Avina up again, and sat back down.

Well, she's not suitable to be a psychiatrist either.

But when Avina sat back in her seat, holding back her laughter, the next person brought in by the nurse attracted the attention of Avina and Charles.

Adele?

A girl wearing a silver crow mask sat down in front of Avina with some trepidation, and stammered, "Doctor... hello... hello, my name is Abar."

The corners of Charles' mouth twitched.

Child, your medical license is still hanging on your chest.

But Charles was also curious. Why was Adele here? Didn't she need to be investigated?
