I Am the Only Non-Returner - I Am the Only Non-Returner chapter 61

61 – Time will tell.

– Every time you connect with the Archdemon [Payan Ser Ashlin] And the statue, the shelter durability of the ‘Blessed Archdevil’s Unholy Statue’ increases by 1000.＞

Huh…?

“Hmm hmm- Well, I guess I’ll have to try connecting often hmm-“

‘Why is this such a windfall?’

Just talking to a crazy demon increases your durability! What a perk!

“But it doesn’t seem like there’s anything to talk about… I wonder what we’re talking about, hmm…”

Anyway, I moved the statue to a place further away from the spirits and returned to the room.

“I thought it would pass without incident once I reached stage 21, but something keeps happening… Especially this one.”

Mantra སྔགས

– Penetrating the deep spiritual abyss of existence.

– Borrow the original characteristics of a deeply spiritual being for 10 seconds.

“A deep spiritual standard may not be simply sleeping. If that were the case, then men wouldn’t even be able to see it. But it doesn’t really seem like Eun-chae and I are in love that much, hmm-“

Even if I thought about it carefully, it didn’t seem like I had a deep spiritual connection with Eunchae, as expressed in the mantra.

“Of course, I love it and love it, but it’s hard to give my whole soul to love it during this crazy game. So does that mean it’s not about me, but what the other person thinks and feels about me that’s important?…”

Eunchae likes me that much?

“Is this the power of s*x? Hmm…”

So what should we do to think rationally and utilize this ability?

“I want to cast the mantra right now and test it, but I don’t think I can use it for fear that it might affect Eunchae.”

Eun-chae aside, what are the characteristics of other people?

“What if I borrowed the singer’s trait? It’s an trait that uses 200 magic power in one shot, and if you have enough magic power, it’ll be really powerful.”

The sight of two golden spears falling from the sky was a magnificent feeling just by imagining it.

It seems a bit difficult for me to use Hongseol’s characteristics, but if I can also use Euncheol’s characteristics, clearing will be much easier.

“If Ha-eun borrows her mother’s trait, she will be able to supply stamina in times of crisis. She will be able to avoid being designated as an attack target by using Ahn Eun-hye’s Corpse Play… Aksh*ta’s trait is also at stage 5. “You can escape the restriction of once per person.”

Even if I thought about it for a moment, it was definitely a very useful ability.

“But the problem is that it is possible only if you open a third tab. Actually, I agree with Eun-chae to some extent. She has always been one of my favorite people, and I felt that we became a lot closer to her during our relationship. “Because.”

But she had not even fully revealed the second part until Eun-chae started sleeping with her.

Then what about cases like Yoon Byeong-cheon and Ha-eun’s mother, who have a moderate sense of distance?

“······ I don’t think it’s possible? With Ha-eun’s mom?”

Also, although some other women did not know, the men had no idea what to do. I guess I can’t help but hope that time will solve the problem while playing Stage 21. Hmm…

“First of all, I need to talk to him as much as possible. I need to use his insight skills often, and on the other hand, I need to ask him to use his traits often.”

And should we ask the women who have potential about their intentions?

“Ha…What the hell is this? Why do I have to worry about this? Ugh…”

Right now, the only thing I can think of is Eunchae, and I don’t like the idea of wasting my mental energy on something like this.

“Whoa”

But I couldn’t stop thinking, so my thoughts began to branch out in various directions, and before I knew it, I fell asleep.

A week later.

In the week since the stage started, the routine of the people in our shelter had become somewhat established.

I played against Hong Seol and Kim Hyun Ah in the morning, and we trained and complemented each other’s weaknesses. Afternoon is personal maintenance time.

Everyone who battles within the shelter also matches one mob stone ring to increase the overall attack power and improve team power. Amna’s devotion characteristic (Amna’s devotion trait) is given to Uncle and Eun-chae, who have low magical power but relatively high physical strength. I decided to buy equipment that converts the shield to shelter durability at the start of the battle and increases the shield.

Has it been said that humans are animals of adaptation? Before we knew it, our shelter had found stability, and smiles were blooming on people’s faces.

The surrounding shelters stopped coming even close to our shelter when I visited them once and struck the ground in front of them, shattering the ground. Of course, our shelter won’t be visible to those people.

Uncle was very happy, saying that he could no longer see the images of monsters that had occasionally appeared in his head, and Jinsol was now so full that she could barely breathe after just walking a few steps.

I asked Ahn Eun-hye, a former obstetrician and gynecologist, who recently spent a lot of time with Jinsol, about him.

“When was Jinsol’s due date?”

“There’s a little over a month left, but I think it could be a little earlier. It seems like progress is going fast…”

In the first place, Jinsol was said to have been over 8 months old when he came to our shelter. About a week has passed since then, so the birth is not far away…

Because it was the only variable in stage 21, and now even Eunchae was involved, everyone was focused on the couple’s status.

I told the people at the shelter about my relationship with Eunchae a few days ago. People who didn’t know about Eunchae’s characteristics were so surprised that the shelter turned upside down.

“You have to do whatever it takes to help clear. If there is a way to raise the number by at least 1, I think you should try it. When you look at the team as a whole, isn’t that right?”

After the disclosure, several people who had sent me messages of inexplicable resentment seemed to agree after hearing Byeong-cheon Yoon’s opinion. On the contrary, there were people who were grateful to Eunchae for making such a decision.

And Suzy, who thought she would lose her crush on me if I revealed this fact, showed an unexpected reaction.

[I think I should be more proactive with you.]

‘··· Why?’

I didn’t become a romantic partner with Eun-chae, but she didn’t seem to care at all that she was going to be the father of her child. Even.

[Imagine having your own child.]

‘Aksh*ta why are you doing this…’

I thought maybe it was looking ahead after clearing all the stages.

‘Once everything is really over, it may become essential to form a relationship with someone. ‘Isn’t it time to prepare for that time?’

Currently, the only people in the shelter who can act as men are me and Byung-cheon Yoon, except for Jeong-gi.

However, perhaps because Mr. Byeong-cheon Yoon was 43 years old, he did not seem to think of himself as an object of the opposite s*x.

When this atmosphere was formed, I briefly wondered if I should also reveal the mantra.

‘If you reveal it in advance, you may become conscious of it and the distance may not be reduced. ‘Let’s give it some more time.’

But we couldn’t do nothing, so we decided to take turns counseling people one day at a time. Even if there was nothing special to talk about, he decided to spend two hours a day talking with me.

“You can say whatever you want to say or request. I won’t tell anyone about it.”

[I am organizing in my head what I want to say to you.]

[I am very pleased with your opinion.]

[Your opinion makes me feel uneasy for no reason.]

[I am thinking about what to do to seize this opportunity.]

Everyone thought positively, except that Eunchae felt a little anxious.

600P was fed to the cocky spirits on the rooftop every day. It seemed like Lara was having a hard time, so she had no choice but to give more, but she calculated that she would be investing 219,000P more in one year, so it wasn’t a big burden for her.

I touched the devil’s statue every day, but there was no reconnection yet.

“Is Archdemon Asulin not ready? I hope we can connect at least once a month, but I want to hit 40000 durability!”

It must be human instinct to want to neatly match the first digits of numbers. Anyway, the consultation started the next day, and the first person in line was my uncle.

“···”

“···”

“Would you like to have a drink?”

“Well, is that so?”

My uncle, who had decided to talk more comfortably, became more distant than before, but it was not easy to talk alone with an adult who was older than me.

But once the alcohol got into the mood to some extent, the story was able to blossom in its own way.

“Would you like to hear a boring story?”

And then the uncle’s Pong Pong Nam story that started was truly laughable. I thought it was just a story floating around on the internet…

“I foolishly dragged it on for 9 years and then divorced. The good thing is that we didn’t have a child. Heaven helped us.”

My uncle said that she was probably still living well by biting someone else, and the eyes of a wise man who had truly emptied his mind were filled with it.

[I am currently in a very stable state of mind.]

‘Thank goodness…’

The next day, we had a consultation with Byeongcheon Yoon.

“A drink?”

“hehehe, sure.”

As expected, when I started drinking with Mr. Byeongcheon, the conversation eased. Mr. Byeong-cheon said that he was a person who did not have any particular ups and downs in life. She had the opportunity to get married, but she chose not to.

“I’m not single, but I didn’t really want to meet anyone for marriage. So I was always alone, but I think it’s a good thing that it ended up like this.”

Because my thoughts were similar to mine, I wondered if I would end up like Byeongcheon when I grow up. Other than that, there seemed to be no major complaints about shelter life. She said she understands that buying equipment and traits puts you behind in rankings.

“Anyway, let’s only think in the direction of the team doing well. If we do well alone, if the shelter breaks, everyone’s life is dead.”

At first, I felt anxious about the power difference between people and other people, but after a few days, the people at our shelter said that unlike the people at the previous shelter, there was significantly less conflict or jealousy, so I felt reassured.

“I think purchasing the right to an independent shelter was a godsend.”

“hahahaha, I think so too.”

He thought well of my choice, so I felt good and drank a little too much. Nevertheless, seeing that there was no hangover at all the next day, I realized that my physical abilities had definitely improved.

Afterwards, counseling was conducted with Go Ok-ja, Ahn Eun-hye, and the chef couple, but there were no particular problems like the previous two. It is inevitable that Jinsol will be anxious ahead of her childbirth.

And then, one week after starting the consultation, it was Suzy’s turn.

“Can I go for a walk outside the shelter?”

“Well, sure.”

Before we left, Eun-chae and Ka-hee looked at us with wide eyes, but Su-ji came close next to me and looked up at me as if she were proud and said.

“I’m so nervous to go out after such a long time, hehehehe.”

“Well, there’s no need to be that nervous. We’ve taken all the necessary steps.”

After coming out, Suzy asked us to wonder how much movement was allowed, so we walked in a straight line as much as we could.

“The scope is wider than I thought.”

“Okay, I think this would be 3 or 4 km.”

I walked non-stop for about an hour and reached the outer part surrounded by a transparent membrane, so it would be about that distance.

“But are you going to do it with Eunchae after that?”

“··· Yes, yes?”

She laughed as she looked at me, embarrassed by the sudden question, and then opened her mouth again.
