SSS-Class Hunter Goes On Vacation (4 Chapters Left to Complete) - Chapter 10
Their ranks were similar, so they’d teamed up far more often than with other members—maybe that was why. They’d stuck together through every dungeon and tower they’d explored… so it seemed there’d never been a need to exchange messages.
[To: DaphneTeam Leader, Gate Stability Division will be contacting you soon.
If you wish, I can help you disappear.
From: Elaine]
She’d always been polite, but Elaine—who was older than her—had never struck her as using such excessively formal language before.
Seeing his texted phrasing, she couldn’t help but laugh softly.
“What’s this—‘disappear’? As if I couldn’t survive.”
Su Ji imagined Elaine, usually so serious, delivering that line and burst into laughter without even realizing it.
Of course, it was true she’d left everything behind in disillusionment, and it was also true she had no intention of returning anytime soon.
But she’d never planned to cut all ties and flee entirely.
‘Is she worried about me?’
As her laughter faded, that thought crossed her mind.
An S-rank Hunter could even alter their skin tone using skills—it allowed for quite varied physical transformations.
Moreover, a Hunter chip could be removed and discarded at will. Elaine surely knew that disappearing wouldn’t be difficult for her, even without his help.
Yet he’d gone out of his way to explicitly offer assistance—which probably meant he wanted her to take him along too.
Su Ji lightly brushed her chin.
Hearing a teammate openly declare betrayal against Gate Stability Division felt oddly pleasant.
‘I did think I’d spend some time alone for now, but I’ve had enough of that… and Elaine is trustworthy enough that having him around would feel comfortable.’
Elaine was her oldest partner.
It hadn’t always run this smoothly from the start. Early on, high-rank Hunters had been arrogant, frequently defying her orders under the pretext of her youth.
But Elaine had always stepped in during those times. From the very beginning, he’d respected and followed Hunter Daphne more than anyone else. His blind trust had even baffled Su Ji herself.
He was also the one who’d taken action to discipline those who wouldn’t listen to her.
Thus, Su Ji held trust in Elaine that went beyond mere fondness. She felt certain he’d even go along with her current act of rebellion.
[To: ElaineThank you for letting me know in advance.
I hadn’t checked my mail at all, so I didn’t even realize Gate Stability Division was about to contact me—thanks to you, I can prepare.
But there’s something a bit awkward.]
Having written that far, Su Ji considered explaining the details of her dilemma but decided to end the message right there.
It would be far more entertaining to just hand him the game console when he arrived and watch his reaction, rather than asking him outright to come play a two-player game.
[You can tell the other team members you’re coming here, but I’d prefer if you came alone.I’m inside Dungeon 3 of Deep Sea Gate E.
FROM. Daphne]
‘There are plenty of monsters along the way… but knowing Elaine, it’ll be fine. No need to worry.’
No sooner had her finger pressed send than his reply arrived instantly.
[To: DaphneTeam Leader, I’ll arrive precisely at 5 o’clock.
From: Elaine]
‘…What even is this? Is that phrase auto-complete? Or have we skipped voice recognition and gone straight to brainwave input? How is your reply this fast? It’s scary.’
Come to think of it, she realized she actually knew very little about Elaine.
She never would’ve guessed he’d be the first among teammates to send her a message.
When she’d suddenly announced she was taking a break, he hadn’t said anything—so she’d never thought she’d caused him much worry.
She felt truly grateful toward Elaine.
It seemed there were many things one couldn’t understand until stepping back and clearing the air around oneself.
Su Ji shrugged and pulled out casual clothes instead of her pajamas. Meeting him alone at dawn didn’t faze her in the slightest—he was someone who never felt awkward, no matter when she saw him.
She glanced at the clock.
‘…Now that I think about it, isn’t this an odd hour for ordinary email exchanges?’
Even if A-rank Hunters and above could flexibly regulate their sleep, this wasn’t exactly emergency standby duty…
‘I’m pretty sure I told him to rest… He was actually resting, right?’
It was 4:45 a.m. She had no idea where he was, but he claimed he’d arrive within fifteen minutes.
Tilting her head in puzzlement, she quickly got busy connecting the joystick she’d hand to Elaine.
If he said he’d come, he’d come.
The Elaine she knew had never once broken a promise to her—
including the one where he swore never to die in the tower before her.
Time passed, and true to his word, Elaine appeared exactly at the promised hour.
Curious about when he’d arrive, Su Ji had been watching the clock; the moment “4:59” flipped to “5:00,” she saw him step through the gate entrance and burst into unrestrained laughter on the grass.
“Hahahahaha!”
“…Are you laughing right now?”
“Hahahaha! Of course I am! Hahaha—what even, Elaine? You’re not a clock! Did you really have to be this precise? Don’t people ever tell you you’re like an A.I.? It’s seriously hilarious.”
“…You seem brighter today.”
Surprised by his unexpected remark, Su Ji looked up at Elaine, who stood with the rising light behind him.
Unlike her—adorned in flashy jewels and purple hair down to her waist, dressed to provoke attention—Elaine always kept a neat appearance.
Though he could change his look using his silver hair ability, he usually stuck to a black short crop without bothering to alter it.
He seemed to have let it grow slightly now that there was no combat, but it still looked natural and suited him well.
Holding his signature greatsword, 〈Silence That Swallows Screams〉, in one hand, he glanced around upon meeting Su Ji’s eyes, then tossed the blade into midair.
Watching his massive greatsword slice through space and vanish was always an entertaining sight.
“Do you practice those flashy poses on purpose?”
“…Isn’t it standard to set gestures in whichever way feels most comfortable?”
“That’s true, but you just looked especially cool today.”
“…Nothing seems amiss. Am I correct?”
Avoiding her compliment, Elaine glanced around. His scanning of the dungeon surroundings betrayed no tension—clearly, he was changing the subject in case a monster suddenly leapt out.
‘Is he actually embarrassed right now…?’
She found yet another unexpected side to him.
They’d truly been nothing more than work partners all this time, so she’d never noticed this aspect before.
And it wasn’t just idle flattery—he really was handsome.
Elaine drew attention just as much as Su Ji did. What was his nickname again? “Idol of the Hunter world”? Or “the man who could’ve charmed the whole planet if he hadn’t become a Hunter”? She’d heard he received just as many commercial offers as she did.
Though he’d declined them all—so none came anymore—back when they’d first cleared towers together, food trucks laden with gifts and meals used to show up frequently at his doorstep.
He must’ve been well aware of his own good looks, so seeing him act shy was beyond imagination.
“You’re surprisingly fun, Elaine.”
“…”
Seeing him look oddly deflated, Su Ji lightly tapped her own forehead.
“You rushed over this quickly just because I said I was in trouble?”
He exhaled slowly and nodded.
Now that she looked closely, Elaine really had hurried—his normally immaculate black blazer was slightly wrinkled, and colorful specks of light, likely remnants of overlapping speed-related skills, shimmered faintly around him.
She felt a bit awkward.
“…If I’d known it’d turn out like this, I should’ve explained the reason. It wasn’t actually that urgent a matter.”
“I thought the World Hunter Association had decided to hunt you down.”
“The World Hunter Association? Me? Out of the blue?”
“You wouldn’t say something like that unless it were that serious.”
“…I’m sorry.”
She apologized quickly.
Though his concern warmed her heart, she felt overwhelmingly sorry first and foremost.
Yet despite rushing over so urgently, Elaine didn’t seem upset at all. In fact, he nodded as if he’d gained something rather satisfying.
“No need. Seeing you’re doing well is enough.”
‘What is this feeling?’
Touched nearly to tears, she wiped her dry eyes.
“Is this how Liu Bei felt upon gaining Guan Yu? Having found such a loyal subordinate…?”
“…It’s an honor.”
Though his voice sounded oddly flat, Su Ji—steeped in Confucian ideals—simply regretted blurting out a word like “loyalty” so casually.
“Shall we head back home now? That’s where I’m staying. Not bad, is it?”
Proudly pointing to her residence, Su Ji watched Elaine finally turn to notice the lone white house standing amid the vast plain.
“What… should I do there?”
“Play games.”
“…I beg your pardon?”
“Mario Kart.”
“…Excuse me?”
“Oh—and Just Dance too. There are levels I haven’t cleared since it’s two-player only.”
“…Are those game titles?”
She’d never heard his pleasant baritone sound so flustered before.
Su Ji nodded confidently.
“Don’t worry. Even without rhythm, you can cover it with reflexes.”
“So when you said it was ‘awkward,’ you meant…”
“Oh, yeah. Exactly. It was about games.”
“I see.”
As Su Ji smiled brightly, he paused briefly as if he had something else to say, then simply followed her.“`
Ex-husband Wants Reconciliation
One-line summary: Chasing the wife to the crematorium (making an effort to attract someone who has become indifferent), the female lead doesn’t look back, the second male lead takes the position.
Intro:
To repay the kindness of the older generation, Su Mu crossed into a female-dominated world and became a live-in daughter-in-law of the Yan family, single-handedly saving the Yan family from fire and water.
But her husband, Yan Jiyue, the eldest son of the Yan family, treated her with sarcasm and never showed her a good face.
It wasn’t until after Su Mu’s death that this pampered and arrogant young master shed a few fake tears and pretended to want to die for love.
This life’s kindness was enough. If there was a next life, she would definitely kick Yan Jiyue away.
Who knew that the heavens would be so kind as to allow her to be reborn, returning to the time when she had just married into the Yan family.
Su Mu glanced at the Yan eldest son, who still spoke coldly to her, and threw a divorce letter in front of him.
“Let’s divorce!”
***
Yan Jiyue never imagined that he would be reborn. He happily went to find Su Mu, wanting to make up for the mistakes he had made in his ignorant youth.
Wasn’t the reason the heavens allowed him to be reborn to let him reconcile with Su Mu?
But when he pushed open the door to Su Mu’s room, the person lying on the bed was another man.
Su Mu’s personal attendant, Xie Yi.
Yan Jiyue hated him so much that his teeth itched. In front of Su Mu, Xie Yi was a gentle and considerate whisperer of sweet nothings, but in reality, he was vicious-hearted and deliberately sabotaged their husband and wife relationship.
In the previous life, it was he who secretly hid in Su Mu’s coffin and committed suicide, stealing a step ahead of him to be buried with Su Mu.
Yan Jiyue’s eyes were filled with hatred as he cursed, “What kind of thing are you? Your background is lowly, what right do you have to occupy Su Mu?”
Xie Yi looked at the sleeping Su Mu and no longer pretended to be a whisperer of sweet nothings.
He proudly stuck out his belly, “I have the right because my belly is capable of giving the Wife-master a daughter.”
***
Yan Jiyue was consumed with jealousy. He spread rumors that Xie Yi had once been branded with the mark of a “harlot” on his chest.
But on the night Xie Yi cut off the flesh bearing that mark, Su Mu suddenly realized something was amiss.
“How did you know the exact moment I was poisoned? And why did you show up a month early?”
Xie Yi remained silent, blood from his wound soaking through his robes. His sapphire eyes brimmed with anguish – or was it just a flawless act?
Between a once-arrogant husband now seeking redemption, and a gentle soul willing to die for her – who truly held the darkest secrets? And could it be that Su Mu and Yan Jiyue weren’t the only ones given a second chance at life…?
