The Speedrun Manual of Miss Witch-Chapter 134 - Sleepy Milk Tea (2/2)

More than two hours passed just like that.

During this time, Ciel dodged an arrow from some merchant practicing archery that missed its target, but didn’t encounter the high-risk misfortune recorded in the notebook from the simulation, the kind requiring save file transformation to avoid. Still needed to wait until 6:30 PM.

That is, after the banquet Avena was attending, misfortune would arrive.

The banquet venue was also in the Sir’s Bridge District. Prince’s son Oppold rented Manor No. 4 here with high profile, inviting other transcendents who came to investigate Deton Manor.

The cost of this banquet definitely wouldn’t be small either—probably tonight’s extravagance attracted the terrifying misfortune.

Slightly later, many high-tier transcendents would rush towards Sir’s Bridge District to attend the banquet. During this period, Ciel better stay slightly further away from Sir’s Bridge District.

Just as Ciel prepared to leave the Sir’s Bridge District, the scene she least wanted to see still happened.

She actually ran into Amy on the street.

“Ciel?” Seeing Ciel walking alone on the street, Amy directly abandoned her other companions, quickly jogging towards Ciel, “What a coincidence! Are you going to find Avena?”

Since their last parting, Amy hadn’t seen Ciel for more than two days. Seeing Ciel again now, it was unavoidable to feel somewhat excited.

She also noticed the gifts in Ciel’s hand, thinking these should be for Avena—after all, Ciel and Lady Avena’s relationship seemed very good.

And they were both “transcendents.”

Although Amy was usually very “socially outgoing” and keen on making friends, she still held a certain awe towards “unknown creatures” like “transcendents,” slightly restricting her natural familiarity.

Looking at Amy before her, Ciel sighed inwardly.

If rejected here, bringing things over later would seem very suspicious.

Coincidentally, the direction she was currently walking, leaving Sir’s Bridge District, was also the direction towards Amy’s home.

“No, these are for you.” Ciel shook her head, forcing herself to spin a tale, “Was just about to find you to discuss some ‘matters of that sort’.”

Hearing Ciel’s words, Amy’s eyes instantly brightened.

She was currently extremely curious about any new knowledge regarding the transcendent, but was still waiting for Avena to help her search for potions, could only wait impatiently, her heart already somewhat restless.

Ciel wanting to talk to her about “transcendent” matters naturally made Amy feel surprised and happy, not to mention Ciel came alone.

After all, she wasn’t very familiar with Avena and Adele. When with them, Amy always felt somewhat restrained.

After bidding farewell to her friends, Amy took Ciel’s hand, walking cheerfully towards home.

Regarding this, Ciel actually had a solution.

Mainly because Ciel knew the exact time the misfortune would arrive. She could find an excuse to leave before 6:30 PM, return after surviving the “tribulation.”

Currently, only Amy and the servants were home. Her father, to recuperate from injuries and mental shock, took Amy’s mother to their small manor in the countryside.

And Amy, to avoid missing any information related to the transcendent, didn’t leave with her parents, but stayed in the villa in Berren City.

Upon returning home, Amy couldn’t wait to eat the desserts Ciel brought, but was stopped by Ciel, the reason being it was almost dinner time, eating dessert would spoil the appetite, better to save it for after dinner.

This reasoning was accepted by Amy. She left the desserts and drinks in her room, then took Ciel to the garden to see the flowers she recently cared for, which were now blooming.

Immersed in the joy of sharing, Amy completely forgot the main business—that is, about transcendent matters. By the time she realized, it was almost dinner time.

Ciel didn’t spoil Amy’s mood, but during dinner, after Amy dismissed the other maids, actively started talking to Amy about the secrets of Deton Manor.

This topic definitely interested Amy greatly.

Upon learning Deton Manor wasn’t just an ordinary high-end casino but also hosted transcendent gambling games, Amy was completely shocked.

Death Roulette, Exchange Area, Deton Group... All the novel information repeatedly washed over Amy’s perception.

She even forgot to continue eating, concentrating wholeheartedly on listening to these stories, looking at Ciel, who described everything calmly, with admiring eyes.

Dinner lasted until six o’clock. Ciel checked the time on the system interface, then looked towards Amy and said, “I suddenly remembered, I need to deliver something to my sister, might have to leave first.”

“Ah? So soon?” Amy, engrossed in listening, said somewhat disappointedly upon hearing Ciel’s words, “Haven’t eaten dessert yet... Have the maids help deliver it?”

“It’s fine, I’ll be back after delivering the item,” Ciel thought for a moment, then asked, “But it might be somewhat late then... Will it be disturbing?”

“Not at all.” Amy shook her head, then nodded vigorously, saying, “You can come anytime!”

“Mm...” Ciel showed a thoughtful expression, then asked with a slightly conflicted expression, “Then if I return late... if it’s too late, can I stay over at your place for one night?”

Such a good thing?

Hearing this, Amy instantly felt wide awake.

“No... Of course, no problem.” Amy straightened her back, trying to appear more normal, unaware that doing so made her posture even stiffer.

“Thank you.” Ciel smiled and nodded, saying, “Then I’ll go deliver the item first.”

“Mm-hmm, I’ll wait for you.”

After seeing Ciel off at the door, watching Ciel leave until her figure disappeared, Amy directly ran back to her bedroom.

Pushing open the room door, Amy jumped directly onto the bed, hugged the pillow, and rolled back and forth on the bed, the excitement on her face impossible to hide.

Although she had many friends, this was the first time a friend stayed over at her house... This was something she had always wanted to try.

She had many friends, but thinking carefully, none were close enough to invite home for a sleepover, except Ciel, of course.

The current Amy felt like she was dreaming—if this was a dream, then she hoped never to wake up.

About forty minutes later, Ciel, feeling slightly mentally exhausted, returned to Amy’s doorstep. frёeweɓηovel.coɱ

She opened the system interface, which showed her remaining Fate Points—169.

Ciel never expected this time’s calamity would be a gas stove explosion—and it was a carriage transporting gas stoves that exploded as it passed beside Ciel.

If she hadn’t foreseen the explosion 1 second in advance and directly transformed into the “Judicator” save file to flash away, she probably would have been blown into hero fragments on the spot.

After following Amy back to the room, she asked Amy to get some more desserts. Amy, as before, didn’t call the maids but went downstairs herself to pick snacks.

During this time, Ciel poured one-third of the tranquilizer directly into Amy’s bottle of milk tea drink, while she herself opened the other bottle, took a sip directly, declaring sovereignty over this non-toxic tea drink.

By the time Amy returned, Ciel had already put away the tranquilizer, back into the potion kit. Amy, upon returning, had no suspicions, drank Ciel’s spiked milk tea along with the snacks.

“Tastes good, it’s even mint flavored, I like it~”

One minute later, Amy, still praising the milk tea drink just moments ago, slumped drowsily onto the carpet.

Ciel picked her up, placed her on the bed, covered her with the quilt, then sat at the dressing table, opened the Old Ansu dictionary and literature she brought back from home earlier.

Next... just need to wait for Tara’s arrival.
