IT'S REALLY NOT. It's just both Kid and the witches pointing out the obvious over and over again. (Witches: Why should we help you when you kill us? Kid: But witches kill Shibusen kids all the time and THE KISHIN IS STILL WORSE. Witches: Oh yeah.) And then Kid convinces the witches to help by pointing out that a) witches value rules and order too, even if it's their own rules and order, ergo the kishin destroying all order would be a bad thing for them too, and also b) witch's power makes them pretty. The last bit is played more for laughs than anything else.
The entire 14-page sequence doesn't reveal a single bit of new information or new worldbuilding. It isn't even interesting to read the argument between Kid and the witches, because the witches don't make any good points and the only things that Kid says are really, really obvious and really, really true. At one point the pipe-smoking witch tries to claim that Shibusen will "never understand" the witch's "suffering" but that whole angle is a non-argument when its pointed out that Shibusen never tries to harm a witch until she does something terrible first. The witches don't have much of a claim to suffering/misunderstanding/oppression when they're the ones running around fucking up innocent humans just because. So it's basically reading a "debate" where one side is obviously right, one side is obviously wrong, there's absolutely nothing complex or interesting going on in the dialogue, and at the end you just kind of want to smack everybody involved, including Kid.
