The Speedrun Manual of Miss Witch-Chapter 202 - "Uniqueness" That Affects Reality (2/5)
“Your Excellency Forte! Your Excellency Forte! Damn it... he’s dead!”
“Quick, go find people from the Redemption Society! Don’t go to the Royal Medical Society anymore! Quickly!”
A violent commotion erupted in front of the Roswell Marquisate.
And Ciel, sitting on the long bench at this moment, looked at the pocket watch in her hand.
She frowned slightly, looked back at Forte’s corpse in the distance, and then looked at the system time.
Didn’t he have time to use rewind?
No...
The perception of “Uniqueness” just now was so strong. It was almost locked onto her. Even though Forte was dead now, this feeling hadn’t disappeared. And as time approached, the buzzing grew louder.
She had originally intended to follow the severely injured Forte, wanting to see how he would leave clues and how he would use the “Uniqueness” item. But now it seemed, Ciel had missed her chance.
The scene she least wanted to see happened.
Forte, who had rewound so many times, would definitely not die so easily.
But the buzzing of “Uniqueness” still echoed in Ciel’s mind. She stood up and looked directly in Charles’s direction.
At this moment, Charles, sensing the gaze, finally looked in Ciel’s direction. He frowned deeply and said, “Miss, please leave this place...”
But Ciel’s gaze at this moment was completely attracted by the silver watch chain suspended above Forte’s forehead.
“Is that... Your Excellency Forte? My goodness...”
Ciel’s phantom “slumped” to the ground, showing a sad expression.
And her real body quickly stepped forward, knelt down beside Forte’s corpse, and quickly reached out, grabbing the watch chain directly—but Ciel grabbed nothing.
Her fingers passed directly through the illusory watch chain and gripped the air.
At this moment, an iron sword was also applied to Ciel’s neck.
“Subverter?”
The illusion couldn’t deceive Charles for long. He frowned at the woman before him, feeling a wave of confusion.
Is she... the mastermind behind all this?
From the Society of Merriment?
“This is bad...” Ciel muttered.
It’s just like what happened with the “Touch of Fate’s Betrayal,” that is, the quill pen.
[Translator’s Note: I made a mistake with the previous translation, “Fate Renegade’s Touch”. I’m sorry. I’ll use “Touch of Fate’s Betrayal” from now on, and I’ll replace the name from previous Chapters as well.]
Only when “Uniqueness” is obtained in reality, will “Uniqueness” in all timelines collapse into reality.
And at this moment, the watch chain in front of her had been activated... This was not something Ciel could stop.
She had to figure out the operating logic of the watch chain.
Time completed its cycle at this moment. The watch chain before Ciel began to rapidly move. The watch chain, like a thin silver snake, began to loop along the same path repeatedly.
A familiar silver glow enveloped everything before Ciel.

“Mm... mm...”
Princess Windsor, who was supposed to be a corpse, hummed softly on the stool before her. Her eyes were hazy as she looked at her, her gaze aggressively uncomfortable.
Windsor, who had been staring at Ciel, suddenly felt an inexplicable fear. She squeezed her legs together and trembled all over. She looked at Ciel before her, somewhat blankly.
Seeming to realize her lapse, the emotions she had built up gradually disappeared at this moment. She somewhat panicked, putting on her dress. Without even her shoes on, she walked towards the door, saying in a hurried voice, “See... See you later~ darling.”
Even though Windsor forced herself not to look at Ciel, her words couldn’t hide her shock and panic at this moment.
Ciel calmly watched Windsor leave. Not long after Windsor left, two maids arrived as expected and entered the glass room to tidy up the mess.
Ciel stood up, walked directly to the table, picked up the notebook from it, and just like before, controlled the maids to set it on fire, wash away the ashes with water, and mix them with the ashes of other books.
Having gone through it once, Ciel was very quick this time. She had already made up her mind.
She would wait for Forte to come again... and try her best to see the marks he left on himself.
Regardless of whether she could see the changes on Forte or not, she had to end her life as soon as possible and leave this simulation.
She couldn’t let Forte obtain any more information... Every time it restarted, Forte would be able to retain more information than the last time.
As long as he accumulated a certain number of times, Forte would definitely be able to sort out all the clues...
Ciel stared at the green path outside the glass door, waiting for a figure to appear.
In less than ten minutes, a familiar figure appeared at the end of the path.
It was Forte.
Forte, who was talking to a maid beside him at this moment, seemed to notice Ciel’s gaze. He looked up and, through the glass, looked into Ciel’s eyes.
In Ciel’s vision, deep etched terrifying patterns appeared on half of Forte’s face. And directly beneath his eye, a strange key shape was clearly imprinted.
All the marks on Forte’s face corresponded one by one to the images in the codebook Ciel had recorded in her mind. Looking at the information Forte had left, a relieved smile finally appeared on Ciel’s face.
Completely wrong information...
Forte, is out of the game.
Ciel raised her hand. An illusory handgun appeared in Ciel’s hand. Only Ciel understood what kind of power this shimmering silver firearm possessed.
Forte looked at the item that had suddenly appeared in Ciel’s hand, feeling a little confused. But before he could react to what it was, he saw the red-haired young girl turn the barrel and aim the silver firearm at herself.
What... is she doing?
“Bang—!”
The trigger was pulled. Flames spewed from the muzzle. The brain matter of the red-haired young girl with the bizarre smile blossomed. A mist of blood splattered on the clean glass beside her.
Wrong... wrong... why?
That smile rapidly magnified in Forte’s mind. He hadn’t even had time to feel fear when his vision was already enveloped by silver light.
What’s happening?! She!! Who is she?!
The silver light completely devoured him. Fear had only just surfaced in his mind when it dissipated in an instant.
