The Speedrun Manual of Miss Witch-Chapter 112 - If You Want to Bite, You Can Anytime (1/4)
Berren City, Sir’s Bridge District No. 15, inside the dining room of Avena’s residence.
The original large table had been disassembled into a small square table, around which four young women sat.
Due to important matters needing discussion, the exquisite dishes that were supposed to be served one by one were brought out all at once, filling the entire table.
After Avena dismissed the other maids and servants, leaving only Nia guarding the door, tonight’s private dinner began.
The dishes laid out all at once made the already famished Ciel’s appetite surge. She joined Adele in diligently working, devouring the delicacies before them at the fastest speed.
Meanwhile, Avena and Amy watched Ciel’s appearance, as if she hadn’t eaten in days, with curiosity. For some reason, just watching Ciel eat seemed to stimulate one’s appetite.
Avena, who originally had something to say, didn’t rush to talk business and ate some of the dishes before her as well. Amy, on the other hand, finished all the desserts first and had no room left for anything else.
Avena waited until Ciel and Adele were full before getting up and leading everyone to the study. Inside, four sofas and four cups of black tea, along with some refreshments, had already been arranged. Nia also followed closely behind everyone, entered the study, and closed the door behind her.
Sitting on the sofa, Ciel leaned her head back against the sofa behind her, closed her eyes, and gently patted her slightly protruding belly, letting out a long sigh.
It had been a long time since she had eaten such a hearty meal. The gradually rising blood sugar from being full, coupled with her already somewhat weak spirit, made Ciel start to feel drowsy.
Perhaps noticing Ciel’s drowsiness, Avena glanced towards Nia. Nia understood the signal, took a step forward, and said:
“Since Miss Amy has decided to embark on a transcendent path, I will briefly introduce the different paths to Miss Amy, and their approximate Reconstitution Rituals.”
“Mm-hmm.” Amy nodded repeatedly at Nia. This was her purpose for attending the banquet today; she had been looking forward to it for a long time.
Ciel, drowsy at the moment, didn’t open her eyes, because this scene had already been recorded in the simulation’s notebook and read by her.
The path Amy ultimately chose was “Gardener.” However, Ciel didn’t say it beforehand. This was also to let Amy learn more about the transcendent realm, as she was the main focus today.
Previously, through information Ciel collected herself, combined with information provided by Avena, Ciel had roughly figured out most of the paths, but there was still one whose name remained unknown.
15 minus 1.
“Ascetic” and “Avenger,” closely related to the Church of the Savior Goddess;
“Listener” and “Instigator,” adept at healing or manipulating minds;
Led by the Deton Group, “Adventurer” and “Gambler,” who wager life and death;
The Redemption Society’s “Physician,” and their arch-nemesis “Poison Master”;
Avena’s family path, almost exclusive to nobles, “Detective,” and its extreme opposite, “Assassin”;
And the very artistic-sounding “Blood Painter” and “Musician”;
The rest were “Coroner,” “Gardener,” and “Butcher,” which Ciel found almost no connection to.
These were all the first-tier paths Ciel knew of. Ciel had already obtained many of the potions, but some things, even the Deton Group dared not sell.
Ciel could even buy potions like “Blood Painter,” “Butcher,” and “Coroner,” which required human lives for their Reconstitution Rituals, yet couldn’t buy others.
Perhaps this was related to whether they caused significant social impact—after all, even the “Butcher” path, which involved the most killing, only required killing ten people in its Reconstitution Ritual. freewebnσvel.cøm
Finally, while Ciel was thinking with her eyes closed, the conversation progressed to the “Gardener” potion.
Ciel opened her eyes. At this moment, she saw Avena sitting directly opposite her, her face seemingly somewhat conflicted.
“Is there a problem with ‘Gardener’? Avena.” Ciel asked.
“Not a major problem... I should be able to get the potion, just...” Avena hesitated for a moment, then said, “I’m not very familiar with this path, I might not be able to provide much help later on.”
“But Amy isn’t very interested in the other paths,” Adele, who had been listening on the side, chimed in. “When we went to Amy’s house before, those flowers and plants, were they all planted by Amy herself?”
“Mm, I usually enjoy growing some flowers and plants. I really like the fragrance of flowers and grass.” Amy nodded.
Currently, it seemed only the “Gardener” path was truly suitable for Amy.
Compared to others, Amy was a true novice in the transcendent realm. Before this, she was just an ordinary, innocent noble lady. Having her complete any other Reconstitution Ritual seemed unrealistic.
Even the seemingly simple “Listener” required certain talent and delicate thoughts, and even Avena couldn’t quickly digest the subsequent paths.
Fortunately, Amy seemed very interested in the “Gardener” path. However, the potion price mentioned by Avena made Amy slightly gasp.
Compared to ordinary people, Amy was considered very wealthy. Despite constantly spending lavishly, she still managed to save over a hundred Su pounds.
But the “Gardener” potion, Avena estimated, required 900 or even 1000 Su pounds. Compared to the potion’s price, Amy’s pocket money seemed somewhat insufficient.
However, there was no need to worry too much about this point. Avena would still help Amy gather the potion first. As for the Su pounds, Amy just needed to pay it back slowly.
After all, Amy was Ciel’s friend. For Ciel’s sake, Avena could afford to lend this amount of money.
It was getting late. After confirming the path and chatting a bit longer, Amy bid farewell to everyone. Although she still seemed somewhat reluctant, as if she hadn’t chatted enough, if she didn’t go back soon, her parents would likely send someone to find her.
Everyone saw Amy off at the door. Amy’s home was also in Sir’s Bridge District, not too far. Amy planned to walk back alone.
But this idea was vetoed by Ciel. Adele was heading back to Gem Avenue anyway, and her route passed by Amy’s house, so Ciel asked Adele to escort Amy.
This wasn’t out of concern for Amy’s safety. With the divine servant present, likely no one in Berren City could threaten her currently.
She was worried that if someone came looking for trouble with Amy, the divine servant might rashly counterattack, exposing the secret about Amy.
