The Speedrun Manual of Miss Witch-Chapter 131 - I’m Tired, Want to Sleep (1/2)

【Future Days】

【Holy Year 741, July 1st, 20:00】

【Countdown – 23:59:59】

The silver-white light gradually dissipated before Ciel’s eyes. As soon as she opened her eyes, she saw the mirror and the exquisite porcelain washbasin before her. The edge of the washbasin was even wrapped in a silver coating, the outer rim inlaid with brilliant enamel.

Washroom? Avena’s house?

Judging by this level of exquisiteness, it should be the washroom on the third floor of Avena’s house, closer to Avena’s room.

Because Ciel had used it many times before, she still had some impression.

Didn’t die prematurely... Was the mission successful? So I’m appearing in Avena’s house now?

Ciel washed her hands briefly with tap water. After drying her hands with a white cloth, she saw the notebook beside her.

This thing was brought over too...

It seems her simulated self still had plenty of strength left. Probably saw the time was almost up, brought the items to the washroom in advance, waiting for her arrival.

Then it seems, most likely didn’t complete the task of entering the Other Side...

Leaning against the washroom’s wooden door, Ciel picked up the notebook and began flipping through it.

The preliminary preparations in the beginning didn’t have any details requiring special attention, but her simulated self did mark out time points for safe rest, which was very important to Ciel.

The next eight hours are all safe... Can use the tranquilizer directly upon returning.

Ciel nodded, continued flipping through. The further down she flipped, the graver Ciel’s expression became.

Her simulated self... actually planned to complete all objectives at once?

Looking at the timeline she listed, it indeed seemed possible to complete...

Ciel flipped through the pages faster and faster. She could practically record the contents of each page in her mind with just a glance.

This was the “photographic memory” effect produced by the enhancement of 【Linguistics】.

Only when she flipped to the part about coming out of the Other Side did Ciel let out a long sigh of relief.

Impressive...

Even Ciel, at this moment, had to praise her simulated self for truly being a death-defying stress endurance king.

If she knew her simulated self was this fierce, she wouldn’t have needed to log in using “Coroner,” could have even used the pure body of No.0 to enter and drink another bottle of potion.

However, as Ciel continued flipping downwards, she was directly stunned.

This is... what?

Is Ciel in the simulation conveying information to herself using drawings?

So troublesome...

Why not just let Avena help write like the previous part... Anyway, this is just a simulation, probably won’t be any punishment, right?

Forcing down the impulse to give up trying to understand, Ciel, leaning against the wooden door, used her fingers to tuck the falling black long hair behind her ear and began interpreting seriously.

Honestly, Ciel really had no talent for drawing.

Even though 【Dexterity】 gave her strong body and muscle control, she couldn’t produce any beautiful paintings. The lines were stiff, and the strokes lacked distinction between light and heavy.

This resulted in the images on the page being not much different from doodles.

The first picture was a huge vortex smudged with pencil. Beside the vortex were abstract objects constructed from rectangles and triangles. Judging by the hand-like appearance, it should be Little Left.

If someone else looked at it, they really might not know what Ciel was drawing.

Can only say it’s fortunate she drew it herself; following the thought process slightly still allowed understanding of what was drawn.

Following these abstract drawings, Ciel gradually understood everything that happened in the Other Side.

Uniqueness... obtained?

Then countless system interfaces piled up before the eyes?

Finally, Little Left threw her out?

The “Uniqueness” item is a gear?

Where’s the gear? Where did it go?

Unlike the subsystem her simulated self possessed, which was fully functional except for the simulation feature, the system Ciel currently held was essentially a time-telling pendant, basically unable to answer Ciel’s questions.

However, looking at the description in the drawing, the gear should have been collected by the system.

But whether in the system inventory or on her person, Ciel couldn’t find the gear anywhere.

Inside the stopwatch?

Ciel took out the “Echo of the Silver-White Timebinder,” didn’t find any difference either, not even the patterns on the watch body changed.

Ciel decided to temporarily stop dwelling on the Uniqueness issue and continued looking at the end of the notebook.

At the end, her simulated self seemed to have recorded some physical changes and conditions.

In the final drawing, Ciel saw two almost identical figures, represented by squares.

Both figures had two squares above their heads, seemingly symbolizing names.

The two square-character figures were most likely herself.

If it were someone else, her simulated self would probably add more features.

Ciel saw that one of her own right hands was drawn full of cracks and tentacles... A vortex separated the two selves, with an arrow below the vortex.

Is it the impact after entering the Other Side?

Ciel looked at the drawing pointed to by the arrow. Her hand seemed to have undergone significant changes, and half her head was shaded black.

Looks like it’s still within tolerable limits.

More detailed matters might only be known by asking Avena, who was almost always with her simulated self.

As for the “Uniqueness” matter, she could only ask the system after returning to the system, as the system was also involved.

However... how should she explain the change in her hair color to Avena, and becoming a transcendent out of nowhere?

Ciel looked at herself in the mirror, only feeling mentally exhausted.

Why can’t the genuine system use transformation after entering simulation...

Maybe just press the stopwatch...

Press it, then don’t have to do it myself, everything becomes easy...

Ciel hesitated for a moment. Silver light flashed in her hand, the stopwatch still returned to the system inventory.

Ultimately, Ciel’s rationality won over the potion’s influence. Just as she turned around preparing to open the washroom’s wooden door, right after opening it, she saw a familiar maid standing at the door preparing to knock.

The maid seemed startled the moment the door opened, taking a small step back, but after seeing Ciel’s appearance clearly, she stumbled back several steps, falling onto the ground.

“Mi-Mi-Miss... Miss Ciel... La-La-Lady Avena said you were in the washroom for too long... asked me to check... check on you.”

The maid’s voice stuttered slightly. She scrambled up from the ground, retreated aside, and deeply bowed her head.

This should be the maid encountered when her simulated self was dismembering the body as “Coroner.” Can only say her luck wasn’t very good, encountering Ciel under the influence of the “Coroner” potion again.
