The Speedrun Manual of Miss Witch-Chapter 89 - The Radiant Edict of the Divine "Bishop" (2/2)

【Old Days: ***, ***Day (???) (Cost: 10000 Fate Points)】

【Dice Quantity: 1】

100 days later?

5 days ago?

Neither of these periods was worth Ciel wasting Fate Points and energy on simulating.

But Ciel wasn’t discouraged; instead, she felt somewhat relieved.

Simulating the future couldn’t simulate days beyond a fated death.

If completing all this would lead to her death, the system simulation couldn’t possibly let her simulate 100 days later.

She could live for at least another 100 days?

Then, regardless of whether this matter was resolved perfectly or not, she must have dealt with it.

Casually closing the interface, Ciel thought for a moment, then raised her right hand.

A silver light flashed in her hand, and the 【Sadhana Emblem】 appeared.

Wanting Georgine to usurp authority and make Kitty work for her?

The 【Sadhana Emblem】 was indispensable.

Only then could her “proxy” implement the plan smoothly.

Although this item cost a full 20 Fate Points, it had to be handed over to Georgine. She just needed to have Georgine pass through the crowded card room before Ciel executed the blood sacrifice.

With so many people around, Ciel could directly retrieve the 【Sadhana Emblem】 from Georgine using the system inventory without anyone noticing.

This command was also included in the letter.

As for Kitty’s lie detection ability? Ciel wasn’t worried at all about Georgine being exposed because of it.

Because Georgine wholeheartedly believed Ciel was a Bishop of the Divine Advent Church, truly believed she was conducting a summoning ritual for a divine servant, and genuinely believed another Bishop would arrive on the 23rd.

The “Ascetic” path ability could only be used to gauge mentality, not as a prophetic ability to discern truth from falsehood.

Ciel placed everything into an inconspicuous burlap sack. Mentally drained, Ciel somewhat struggled to lift the sack, then activated the “Instigator” transformation again.

Her Fate Points dropped from 167 to 162.

...

Berren City, Gem District, Gem Avenue, outside building number 144.

Georgine stood by the door with her head lowered, eyes tightly shut, seemingly waiting anxiously for something.

Her eyes scanned every passing carriage, pedestrian, child, not even sparing the small cats and dogs running by.

As if the Lord Bishop she met yesterday might be among them.

She had been standing there since 4 AM, not daring to slack off for a moment, fearing she might miss the Lord Bishop’s command.

Time passed minute by minute. Georgine’s constantly tense spirit gradually began to relax.

If not for the lingering fear and oppression from yesterday remaining in her mind, she might have thought it was all just an overly realistic nightmare.

Just then, a plain carriage stopped in front of her, its shadow enveloping her.

Instantly, Georgine’s slightly relaxed spirit tensed up again. She quickly lowered her head, daring not to make any move.

Click—

The carriage door opened. Along with a thick smell of blood and an aura that terrified her, a sack was thrown down in front of her.

Simultaneously, a voice came from inside the carriage.

“There’s a letter inside the sack... It outlines everything, and the deadline for you to complete it.”

“As for what to do... the details are recorded inside.”

“Remember, Georgine...”

“This is a task you must complete, even if it costs you your life.”

“I will always be behind you, awaiting your good news...”

“We... shall meet on the 23rd.”

Georgine, drenched in sweat, lowered her head respectfully and said, “Yes, milord.”

The carriage gradually drove away. Only after the sound of the wheels faded completely did Georgine quickly pick up the heavy burlap sack and hurry upstairs.

Back in her room, she opened the sack and quickly saw a piece of paper.

Beside the letter, an emblem bearing the familiar church insignia caught Georgine’s eye, causing her breath to hitch slightly.

This is...

Georgine reached out with trembling hands and picked up the incredibly sacred emblem, tears of excitement streaming down her face.

This warm power, this familiar feeling... This was the emblem only a Bishop could possess.

A year ago, she had seen it from afar in the underground sanctuary. To this day, she couldn’t forget the warm feeling of looking directly at this emblem.

And now, this emblem lay quietly in her palm.

Quickly, she unfolded the paper and carefully read the text written on it.

Soon, her breathing grew heavy, the corners of her mouth uncontrollably turning upwards.

Me? Presiding over the ritual?

The divine servant summoning ritual...

With this emblem, she could command any cultist to obey her, and implement any disciplinary measures.

No one could resist her because, now, she was the Bishop’s designated proxy...

A radiant path of advancement appeared before Georgine’s eyes.

As for Kitty?

At least for now... she no longer inspired the slightest fear in Georgine.

Because she held the Bishop’s emblem. Even Priestess Kitty had to submit at her feet.

Georgine quickly gathered everything, burned the letter in her hand, took the emblem and the sack of items, and hurried towards Deton Manor.
