SSS-Class Revival Hunter-Chapter 106 - 1DAYS (1)
Chapter 106: 1DAYS (1)
“Lady Silver Lily.”
“What is it?”
“Let’s just drop everything and take a break for ten days,” I suggested. “No one has been working as hard as you. You’ve done your best in your work and personal life. So, let’s stop working hard just for the next ten days and then use my regression Skill—”
“To have fun that ordinary people can’t?”
“That’s right.”
“Hmm.” Lady Silver Lily was calm. “Whatever chaos we cause, no one will remember if we go back to a day ago, so we won’t have to deal with any of it.”
“I knew you would catch on quickly.”
“Isn’t that kind of play a little too irresponsible?”
“Why not be irresponsible?”
“Hmm, I ended up having an awfully bad boy as my lover...”
“Ten days. Deal?
Lady Silver Lily took out her fan and waved it at her face. “I think ten days is too short, so let’s make it fifteen days”
“Deal.”
We played as if we were making up for our lives so far. Sormwin Academy was located near the capital, so a short trip in a carriage afforded us many splendid options for entertainment. And my lover was the heir to the most influential noble in the empire.
Simply put, she had all of the power and money in the world.
“Which seat would you like?” the polite theater staff asked.
“I’ll hire your troupe for a day,” Lady Silver Lily flatly replied.
“Pardon?”
“I said I’d hire your troupe for an entire day. Do you not understand what I said? Or do I have to repeat myself three times? Is this your troupe’s way of practicing your acting skills?”
“N-no, it’s not! I’m sorry! I’ll contact the troupe master right away!”
Hiring a theatrical or an opera troupe for a day was just the beginning.
“Gong-Ja, there’s something I’ve always wanted to do.”
“What is it?”
“I’m going to hire six troupes at once,” Lady Silver Lily said. She sounded calm, but I could tell that she was having fun right now, like a mischievous child pulling a prank. “And we’re going to have them perform their plays on a huge stage all at once. Three plays will be tragedies, two will be comedies, and the last one will be an opera.”
“Uh, that sounds like it’s going to be a total mess.”
“That’s precisely what I want to see.”
“Then let’s do it.”
She brought in the six most expensive troupes in the capital. Since the eldest daughter in the Ducal Family of Ivansia was calling them, all of them came running. Some might worry that such tyranny would damage the duke’s reputation, but that was okay. Since we were a regressor couple, we could have fun for a day and then go back in time. What were people going to do about it?
“Ahhh. What a huge mess. This is what I wanted to see...” My lover fanned herself with immense satisfaction.
“Bwahahahaha!” I rolled around on the floor, laughing.
Next to the actor who was reciting the most tragic lines, the clowns performed a comedy. The simultaneous performances of the six plays made even the most serious lines in the world sound funny. The actors sweated profusely through the entire performance.
“Let’s clean out the gambling houses in the capital!” I suggested.
“That’s a great idea. I’ll take it.”
We set out for a casino exclusively for the nobility first. People here wore masks to hide their identities, like at a masquerade ball, but no noble could fail to recognize my lover’s silver hair draping down like moonlight.
“Say call.”
“Ca-call.”
When Lady Silver Lily told the opponent to call, he cowered and followed her.
“Fold.”
“I-I’ll fold this round.”
Lady Silver Lily told the opponent to die, and he quietly put down his cards.
“Raise the stakes.”
“R-raise...”
“Raise it more.”
“I’ll raise again...”
She said raise, and so it was raised.
“All of you, go all in.”
“All... in...”
A miracle comparable to the Crossing of the Red Sea happened at a luxurious deluxe casino. I decided to build the Lily Church for my lover. The first verse of its scripture would be about the casino. Oh, how beautiful a villainess was as she destroyed others for her own pleasure.
“Th-this is tyranny!”
By the time sixteen nobles cried and gave us their diamond rings and necklaces, the owner of the casino came running over.
“Even if you’re the Lady of Ivansia,” the middle-aged man with a kaiser mustache complained, “you can’t do this here...”
“Oh, do you know who I am? That’s strange. People said that this casino makes a point of hiding the customers’ identities and remaining silent even if they find out. It seems I heard a false rumor.”
“I-I don’t know! Of course I don’t know who you are, but—”
“You don’t know who I am? How dare you? I guess you don’t feel like staying attached to your head.”
The gambling house’s owner opened and closed his mouth blankly. Although he was also a noble, Lady Silver Lily’s bloodline was on another level. In less than a minute, he was verbally shot down and couldn’t stand back up.
“What? How can you not answer when Her Ladyship asked you a question!?” I stood by my lover’s side and shouted like a tyrant’s treacherous subject. Her side felt really warm and comfy. “Do you think you don’t have to answer her question? Or are you thinking of a way to insult her family with your filthy tongue?”
“N-no. How could I? M-my lady, it’s just that I’m a small business owner, so I ask you to please be a little more considerate—”
“Wow. My lady, this fool’s arrogance has no limit. You should just behead him for his disrespect!”
The gambling house’s owner shrieked.
Lady Silver Lily leisurely fanned herself. “It’s okay. The Baron of Loebe has a secret drug lab in the basement and is distributing illegal drugs throughout the capital, but is that really enough to behead him?”
The middle-aged man with the kaiser mustache shook, doubting his ears. He soon turned pale in shock. It seemed his confusion before now was nothing.
“W-what are you talking about...?”
“Sit down. If you sit there and play ten games with me, I’ll let it slide for tonight.”
In the end, we even emptied the casino owner’s wallet. We then scattered the mountains of gold coins and jewels on the streets of the empire.
Those were dream days. Although they might be meaningless, they were still beautiful. We did whatever we wanted, playing however we wanted. We rented and idled away in the most luxurious room of the most expensive accommodation in the capital. I jumped into the enormous bed with Lady Silver Lily in my arms.
“Hmm.”
On the first day, Lady Silver Lily’s eyes sparkled.
“Mmhmm.”
On the second day, the corners of her lips rose.
“... Haha.”
On the third day, Lady Silver Lily laughed. It wasn’t to mock, but because she was happy. My lover’s smile was as pure as a newborn’s.
“Gong-Ja.” Lady Silver Lily buried her face in my chest.
“Are you happy?”
“You’re in this world, so I can live a little longer.”
I was happy. The minimum requirement for a person to be happy was having at least one other person.
“I’ll start writing a diary from today on.”
“To show me?”
“One of my colleagues is good at playing instruments. I’ll learn music from her,” I made a promise.
“You’re going to play it for me.”
“No matter what happens, I will survive.”
One day, we bribed and harassed the guards to lease the busiest street in the capital for an hour. There was no one but us.
Another day, she and I visited the palace, and she told the emperor everything in her heart. When Lady Silver Lily said, “You should raise your son better than that, Your Majesty. He’s a scoundrel,” the emperor fell out of his throne.
“Your Majesty!” The officials around him made a fuss.
We enjoyed our vacation one day at a time.
It feels just like a honeymoon.
I didn’t say that aloud. Just thinking about it made my face burn, but I believed that Lady Silver Lily was thinking the same thing.
On the last day, we didn’t go anywhere. We just sat side by side at the fountain in the capital plaza. From noon to evening, we held each other’s hands and quietly looked at the shadows of countless people walking by in the square. A newspaper boy hurriedly ran into the alley between a fruit shop and a tavern.
“We did a lot of bad stuff.”
After half a day, she said, “Yes, we’re heinous assholes.”
I held her hand tightly. We weren’t on this trip because I was already in love with her. I was in it to love her more. Now that I had repeated one day for half a month, my love for her was stronger, and I wanted to love her more.
“We’re the only ones who know.”
“We’re accomplices.” She laughed quietly.
[Your character immersion has deepened.]
[Your immersion level is 81%.]
It was proof of happiness.
“Raviel, do you remember what I told you in the carriage before?”
“I remember everything you said to me.”
“When I ask you to trust me, please trust me,” I reminded her.
“Of course.”
“It’s time.”
Lady Silver Lily turned to regard me. “It seems like you’re up to something suspicious. Gong-Ja, it would be better for your heart to confess now.”
“I’m going to increase the immersion level to ninety-nine percent now.”
On this trip, Lady Silver Lily and I had talked about a lot of stuff. The world I was from, what an apocalyptic book was, what an immersion level was... Really, a lot. Lady Silver Lily had learned all that from me.
“I need to become a butler almost completely so I can be someone who was born and raised in this world.”
“Why?”
“I can’t tell you.”
Lady Silver Lily stroked her chin. “... The fact that you can’t even tell me means that the plan will only work when you’re the only one who knows about it.”
“That’s correct.”
“You’re telling me this because you have more favors to ask of me.”
“Yes, I do.”
Lady Silver Lily sighed. She felt like she had been beaten to the punch. “... You made me promise to trust you solely for this moment. You’re more clever than you look—I should have been more alert when I listened to you. Okay, what do you want me to do now?”
It was time for action.
***
First, we went back to the day of the ball when the Inquisitor and I had first arrived in this world. Lady Silver Lily and I hurriedly escaped the ballroom and went to her villa.
“Tie my hands and feet tightly to a chair first, please.”
Lady Silver Lily’s expression changed subtly. “Gong-Ja, I think it’s still too early for us to step into that world...”
“I don’t know what you’re thinking, and I feel like I shouldn’t know. But I’m very satisfied with my life right now, so don’t worry.”
“I promised to trust you, so I have no other choice...” Lady Silver Lily tied me tightly to the chair.
I tried moving around, but I couldn’t budge one bit. This should be safe enough.
—Hey, Kim ■bi. What are you doing right now? You’re making me a little nervous, brother.
[Shiny is worried about what ■ is doing.]
My immersion level was already over eighty percent. From what I gathered, the butler—the original owner of this body—was in love with not only Lady Goldencup but also Lady Silver Lily. Either way, his love wasn’t going to be answered, so he never spoke of it.
The crown prince was juggling relationships with both Lady Silver Lily and Lady Goldencup. Meanwhile, Lady Goldencup was also involved with the crown prince as well as the butler. And he had been secretly fostering his love for both Lady Silver Lily and Lady Goldencup. At the same time, Lady Silver Lily was two-timing the crown prince and me.
What a shitty romance. But... thank you.
Right now, I was just grateful to the butler for developing feelings for Lady Silver Lily too. Thanks to that, I was able to come up with this plan.
I made up my mind.
“Please put a mirror in front of me.”
Lady Silver Lily had the servants position a large mirror in front of me. I couldn’t avoid seeing my reflection because of how tightly I was bound.
"Show me the character window."
Letters slid across the mirror's surface.

The character window continued, showing almost everything about me.
With the window open in front of my eyes, I looked up at her. “Raviel.”
“I’m listening.”
“Please shower me with kisses so I’ll fall harder for you.”
“Do you prefer to be kissed while tied up? You could have told me sooner. I might have taken it into consideration from time to time.”
“After a certain point, I’ll no longer be me.”
After the Inquisitor’s immersion level had approached one hundred percent, he had been completely consumed by the role of Lady Goldencup. Despite that, his hair had still kept growing. That was when I realized the perfect solution to clear this stage the way I wanted.
“Then, you should kill me.”
Lady Silver Lily came to a halt.
