SSS-Class Suicide Hunter

Chapter 106. [1 DAYS. (1)]

Translator: thursdays Editor: Yahiko PR: LightBrin

“But, Your Ladyship.”

“What is it?”

“Why don’t we go on vacation, just for ten days?” I suggested. “Nobody works as hard as you. Officially and privately, you’ve done your best. So let’s set aside all the serious things for the next ten days and then use our regression skills all in a row…”

“You want to play around like commoners?”

“Exactly.”

“Hmm.”

The Lady of the Silver Lily said composedly,

“No matter what sort of mess we make, nobody else will remember if we regress a day, so we have nothing to lose.”

“As expected of you, you understand me even if I don’t spell things out.”

“Wouldn’t we be playing on an unfair field?”

“Yes, we will.”

“Mm. A very bad man has become my lover…”

“Ten days. Agreed?”

The Lady of the Silver Lily took out her fan and held it.

“I feel like it’ll be a waste if it’s ten days. Make it fifteen.”

“Nice.”

We enjoyed ourselves like we were venting our steam from our past lives.

Sormwyn Academy was located by the capital. There were plenty of entertaining things to do just a carriage ride away. And my love was the greatest heir of the greatest noble family in the empire.

“Where would you like to sit?”

To put it simply, she had overwhelming power and money.

She was the top lady in this world.

The Lady of the Silver Lily bluntly said to the polite theater staff, “I shall hire a theater company for a day.”

“Excuse me?”

“I said I would buy the company for today. Don’t you understand? Do I have to repeat myself a third time for it to go into your ears? Does this troupe practice its skills by repeating everything three times?”

“N-no! I’m sorry! I will immediately notify our troupe leader right away!”

For plays and operas, renting a theater company for a day was the standard.

“Gongja. There’s something I’ve always wanted to try.”

“What is it?”

“Hiring six theater groups at the same time.”

The Lady of the Silver Lily was speaking calmly, but I knew. She was having fun, like a mischievous imp playing a trick.

“Then, I’ll get them all to put on their shows simultaneously on a large stage. Three plays would be tragedies, two comedies, and the remaining one should be an opera.”

“Um. It sounds like it’ll be a total mess.”

“Exactly. I want to see that mess.”

“Then, let’s see it.”

We called for the six most expensive troupes in the capital. No leader of a theater group would refuse to answer to the daughter of the Duke of Ivansia.

What? This rash action would decrease the Ivansia duchy’s reputation and honor? That was fine. We were a regressor couple. If we played around one day and returned one day, that was that. What could they do to us?

“Aah. Such tremendous chaos. I wanted to see this…”

My lover held her fan as if she was deeply satisfied while I—

“Pffft, hahahaha!”

—I rolled on the floor laughing, holding my stomach.

Clowns acted out a comedy next to an actor seriously reciting tragic lines. When six plays were stacked on top of each other, even the most solemn lines in the world became a joke. The actors were sweating all throughout the show.

“Let’s clean out the gambling houses in the capital!”

“An excellent idea. I agree.”

The two of us went to an exclusive casino for nobles. It was a place where people hid their identities by wearing masks like at a masquerade. But my beloved? No noble wouldn’t recognize her silver hair that flowed like moonlight.

“Call it.”

“C, call.”

When the Lady of the Silver Lily said to call, her opponent cowered and called.

“Die.”

“I, I fold.”

When the Lady of the Silver Lily said to die, her opponent meekly put down their cards.

“Raise the stakes.”

“R, raising…”

“Higher.”

“R, raise again…”

When she asked to go higher, the numbers went higher.

“Go all in. All of you.”

“All… in…”

A miracle comparable to the parting of the Red Sea descended upon the luxurious casino. My mind was set on founding [The Silver Lily Religion] in honor of my lover, and the first passage would depict this scene.

Oh, it was beautiful how the villainous lady destroyed others for her amusement.

“Th-this is barbarous!”

When approximately sixteen nobles tearfully paid us with diamond rings and necklaces, the owner of the gambling house came running to us. He was a middle-aged man with a Kaiser beard.

“Even as the duke’s daughter, you can’t do this in this store…”

“Oho. Are you aware of who I am? How odd. I thought this establishment valued and enforced silence to hide customers’ identities completely, even if they were to be found out. I must have heard wrong.”

“I, I don’t know you! Of course I don’t know, but…”

“You dare not recognize who I am? Do you want your head chopped off?”

“……”

The owner of the gambling house opened and closed his mouth. This man was also a noble, but his lineage was very different. He had been neutralized and sunk less than a minute after he had come running.

“Uh-huh. Look at this gentleman. The lady asked you a question, so why aren’t you answering?!”

For reference, I was sticking close to the Lady of the Silver Lily like I was her minion and pitching a fit. It was so warm by my lover’s side.

“Do you think it’s funny to ignore milady’s question? Do you intend to scorn her family by keeping your trap shut?!”

“N-not at all. I would never. I-it’s just that this is a small business, so please be a little more considerate…”

“Good grief. Your Ladyship, this can’t stand. This man’s arrogance pierces the sky. I must strike down his neck for his disrespect!”

“Hieek?!”

The Lady of the Silver Lily carelessly fanned herself.

“It’s all right. Though Baron Ruibe secretly built a drug lab in the basement to sell illegal goods in the capital, it doesn’t mean we need to chop his head off.”

Flinch.

Mister Kaiser-beard’s shoulders shook. His expression showed doubt whether he had heard right. Soon, his face turned blue, and the man acted genuinely appalled, hiding his previous shock.

“I-I don’t know what you are saying… “

“Sit down.”

“……”

“If you sit and play ten rounds with me, I will let you go for the night.”

In the end, we emptied out the wallet of the owner of the casino. Then, we scattered the mountain of gold and jewels in the streets.

These days were like dreams.

Hopeful days during which beautiful dreams became real.

We did what we wanted and frolicked as we wished. We passed time in the most extravagant room of the most upscale inn in the capital. Hugging the Lady of the Silver Lily, I jumped into the ginormous bed.

“Mm.”

On the first day.

The tips of the Lady of the Silver Lily’s eyes rose up.

“Mhm.”

The second day.

The corners of Lady of the Silver Lily’s mouth tilted upward.

“…Haha.”

On the third day, the Lady of the Silver Lily smiled. It wasn’t a smirk or a scoff but a smile that sprung from joy. My lover’s smile was as pure as a child learning to laugh for the first time.

“Gongja.”

The Lady of the Silver Lily buried her face in my chest.

“Are you happy?”

“Because you’re in this world, I can live a little more.”

I became happy.

The minimum number for human beings to be happy was two people.

“I’ll write a diary starting from today.”

“Is it to show it to me?”

“One of my colleagues is good at playing instruments. I’ll learn music from that person.”

“You’re doing this to serenade me.”

“No matter what happens, I will keep living.”

One day, we bribed and bullied some guards into emptying the most crowded street in the capital for an hour. We rented the place.

One day, we entered the palace and laid out everything that one shouldn’t say in front of the emperor. The Lady of the Silver Lily said, “Take care of your son, Your Majesty. There’s no other boor like him.” When she said that, the emperor slipped from his throne. “Your Majesty?!” The officials around him panicked.

One day passed. And another.

We traveled around during our vacation.

‘It’s just like a honeymoon.’

I didn’t speak those words out loud. Merely thinking about it made my face flush. However, I believed that the Lady of the Silver Lily was thinking the same.

On the final day.

“……”

“……”

On our last day, we didn’t go anywhere.

We just sat side by side at the fountain in the city square from day to night.

Holding hands, we watched the shadows of countless people coming in and out of the square. In the alley between the fruit shop and the bar, a newspaper boy scurried about.

“We did some really bad things.”

After half a day, the lady opened her mouth.

“Yes, we’re vicious bitches.”

I held her hand firmly.

This trip was not because I loved her but to love her more. Now, after repeating this day fifteen times, I fell deeper in love with her. And I wanted to love her more.

“Only the two of us know, though.”

“We’re accomplices.”

A quiet laugh.

[The immersion toward the character is deepened.]

[Currently, your immersion rate is 81%.]

The evidence of joy.

“Raviel. Do you recall what I said to you in the carriage?”

“I remember everything you’ve said to me.”

“I asked you to trust me when I ask for your trust.”

“Of course.”

“Please remember that promise.”

The Lady of the Silver Lily looked at me.

“It seems that you’re doing something suspicious. Gongja, it’ll be better for your heart if you speak honestly.”

“From now on, I’m going to increase my immersion rate to 99%.”

“……”

While exploring this day, the Lady of the Silver Lily and I talked a lot. Really a lot. The Lady of the Silver Lily heard it all from me: what kind of world I came from, what an [Apocalypse] was, and what an [immersion rate] was.

“I need to almost completely become the butler. Someone who was born and has lived in this world.”

“Why?”

“I can’t tell you why.”

The Lady of the Silver Lily put her hand on her chin.

“…So your strategy will only succeed if nobody else knows about it.”

“Yes.”

“The reason you’re saying this now is because you need to ask for a favor.”

“That’s right.”

The Lady of the Silver Lily sighed. I felt like I had been hit.

“…From the start, you made me promise to [trust] you for this moment. Really, despite your looks, you’re a shrewd man. I should be more vigilant when you talk. All right. What do you need me to do?”

It was time to carry out the plan.

2.

First, we returned to [Day One], the starting point of this stage. To the moment when the ball opened.

The two of us hurried out of the ballroom and to the Lady of the Silver Lily’s quarters.

“First, please tie my hands and feet tightly to the chair.”

The Lady of the Silver Lily made a peculiar expression.

“Gongja, I think it’s too early for us to enter that world…”

“I don’t know what Your Ladyship is thinking, and I don’t think I should know. But I’m satisfied with my life now, so don’t worry.”

“I promised to believe in you, so I must…”

The Lady of the Silver Lily bound my body to the chair.

I tested it by trying to move my limbs, but I didn’t budge at all.

With this, it would be safe.

-Hey, Kim ■bie. What are you doing now? This big bro is getting a little nervous.

[Shiny is concerned about the war■or’s behavior.]

My immersion rate was already over 80%.

I thought that the original owner of the body, the ‘butler,’ must have cared for not just the Lady of the Golden Silk but also the Lady of the Silver Lily. Either way, he could never fulfill his love. The butler must have been silently closing off his heart.

The crown prince was two-timing with the Lady of the Silver Lily and the Lady of the Golden Silk. The Lady of the Golden Silk had hold of both the crown prince and the butler. The butler had feelings for both the Lady of the Silver Lily and the Lady of the Golden Silk. And now, the Lady of the Silver Lily was cheating on the crown prince with me.

‘It’s a fucked-up romance.’

But.

‘Thank you.’

Now, I was just eternally grateful to the butler, who had kept a flame for the Lady of the Silver Lily.

Thanks to that, I could set up such a plan.

I was determined.

“Please bring me a mirror.”

“All right.”

The Lady of the Silver Lily ordered her servants to put a large mirror in front of me. I saw my reflection, unable to move at all in the chair.

“Character window.”

The letters slid onto the surface of the mirror.

The analysis continued below.

Almost everything about me was there.

With the character window in front of me, I looked up at the Lady of the Silver Lily.

“Raviel.”

“I’m listening.”

“Please kiss me wildly. To make me love you more.”

“Did you want to be kissed while being tied up? You should have told me your preferences earlier. I could have read up on it.”

“At some point, I will no longer be [me].”

“……”

When the immersion rate exceeds 90% and approaches 100%.

When I saw the Heretic Question become completely immersed in the character of the Lady of the Golden Silk. When I witnessed her growing [hair] despite his transformation technique. That was when I realized it.

That was the way.

That was the trick to beating this stage the way I wanted to.

“At that time, please kill me, milady.”

The Lady of the Silver Lily froze.
