I Am the Only Non-Returner - I Am the Only Non-Returner chapter 65

65 – An unexpected opponent.

“If you give birth to 5 children, durability increases by 5000. It is said that there is also a special reward, but those who meet the conditions must agree, so it is difficult to think about it. I’ll give you time.”

You will be worried about having an unwanted relationship with someone you do not love, as well as your physical condition after pregnancy and childbirth. Well, looking at Jinsol’s condition, I don’t think you need to worry too much.

Jang Jin-sol, who was lying on a pillow on the sofa, surprisingly did not look very distressed.

‘It hasn’t even been that long since I gave birth prematurely and I’m in that state. I guess we’ve already surpassed the human category…’

In any case, it was clear what the choice would be for all members of the shelter, so the conclusion was that the five women agreed, and Hong Seol, who was nodding her head, asked a question.

“Then who will the five be?”

– Hmm…

– Hmm… Well, there are only a few of us…

Uncle and Mr. Byeong-cheon were just clearing their throats, and everyone was looking at the people in question with an expression that seemed obvious.

“But is Eunchae included in the top 5?”

I also tilted my head in response to Suzy’s question.

“If it is true that Eun-chae is pregnant now, I don’t think this applies…”

Everyone seemed to agree with what Director Ahn said.

[I am greatly shaken by her remarks.]

It seemed like Eun-chae wanted to be included among the five people.

“Then, let’s select five people besides Eunchae. Actually, there is nothing to select. It’s me, Suzy, Aksh*ta, Kahi, and Kim Hyun-ah, right?”

Everyone nodded at Hong Seol’s remarks. The exclusion of Jinsol, who had just given birth, was very natural, and it was obvious to exclude not only Haeun’s mother Yoo In-soon, but also Ahn Eun-hye and Go Ok-ja, who are in their mid to late 40s.

“I’ll tell you that I will do it for now. It’s unfortunate that I won’t be able to train for a few months, but even considering that, I can’t miss out on the increased durability and special reward cards. It’s simple, right?”

People outside the venue seemed unable to hide their satisfied expressions at Hong Seol’s forward-looking attitude. Of course, so do I.

‘If there is even one person who doesn’t like it in this situation, I will know what the atmosphere will be and throw it first.’

Are you pregnant? It’s no big deal. It helps the team, so why not do it? Hong Seol’s calculated gestures and voice are full of these nuances.

And Suji and Aksh*ta also agreed, as if they had planned to do it without having to say it.

[Things are resolved easily?]

[Look at your lower body closely.]

‘Hey Aksh*ta, you too…’

Kahi also pursed her lips and thought for a while, and eventually added her opinion.

“Well, I agree… What’s the use if I die?”

‘Even Kahi… Is Hyuna the only one left?’

Kim Hyun-ah quietly closed her eyes, then moistened her lips once and opened her mouth.

“I am unable to have a baby.”

‘… Huh?’

ㅡ!!!

Others also reacted with great surprise.

‘Does not being able to have a baby mean infertility?’

And then Kim Hyun-ah’s unexpected story began.

She had been married once. And she said she tried for 3 years but couldn’t get pregnant, so she went to the clinic for a year.

It wasn’t necessarily because of that, but she said it was one of the many reasons she divorced.

“It’s primary infertility. The causes are very diverse, but there are quite a few cases like Hyuna where it doesn’t work for no reason. So these days, the expression infertility is used more often than infertility.”

Everyone was nodding their heads enthusiastically as they felt like they needed to take notes at Director Ahn’s words.

“But since we’ve all improved our physical capabilities, wouldn’t that be okay?”

In response to Byeong-cheon Yoon, Director Eun-hye Ahn said that it could be possible, but she asked what she would do if it did not work out.

“Uh… That’s…”

Yoon Byeong-cheon also couldn’t think of an answer for a moment, so Hong Seol expressed his opinion when her words got longer.

“Then let’s take one more person as a backup. The mission won’t fail if 6 babies are born, right?”

‘That’s right. Even if we have one more child, it won’t really benefit us.’

But there is no one to do it in reserve…

Everyone was lost in thought for a moment in silence, and then one by one, their eyes focused on each person.

And after a while, Ha-eun’s mother, Yoo In-sun, who received all the attention, blushed in great embarrassment and lowered her head.

‘Ah… Ha-eun has a mother…’

She gave birth to Ha-eun in her mid-20s, so she was still young, only in her early 30s. So, she was only 3 years older than me.

‘I’m still worried, but I have a child, so how…’

“Mom, why are you covering her face like that? hehehe”

Without noticing, Ha-eun was now burying her face in her knees and playfully breathing on her mother’s face, which was red up to her ears.

“Kuhuhmm… Well… First of all, Mr. Insoon should think about this… Keuhhm…”

It wasn’t funny how everyone was looking at each other and now they were embarrassed.

Did she feel the need to break this mood for a moment? Kim Hyun-ah said she would try her best for now, and she looked straight at me.

[If you are this person…]

‘I don’t know what you’re expecting, but I’m glad you don’t suffer.’

In the end, the meeting ended with 5 people and Insoon as backup.

Yoo In-soon glanced at me and met her gaze, then she quickly turned her head and ran away to the rooftop with Ha-eun.

‘Well, I just have to endure it once… Right? I hope it doesn’t happen all at once.’

Of course, this does not mean that Insoon has no charm as a woman. She just didn’t see herself as such an object until now, and all she had to do was look at Ha-eun and the beauty of her mother, Yoo In-sun, didn’t need to be explained.

So there will be no such thing as not being able to form a relationship because I don’t feel it.

However, she wanted to stop seeing her embarrassed like that, so she thought she should do it well the first time.

– Dalkak.

When I entered her room, I hugged the back of her head with her pillow and lay down for a while.

“You’re doing all kinds of things to the stars…”

– Phewㅡ

“Is there any achievement if I die as a monk?”

······

“I know you’re all listening, so someone please reply.”

Brurrr-

“Eunchae’s name.”

Eun-chang: Are you looking after your brother?

“Wow… The word oppa makes my heart flutter just by looking at the letters.”

Dog: Just lying down.

Eunchang: Me too…

For some reason, the chat window suddenly crashed, unlike usual.

Eunchang: Oppa…

Doggo: Huh?

Eunchang: Can’t you start with me before you start with other people?

“It’s so good, why should I say it? Anyway, what should I say to make Eunchae feel better…Ummm…”

Dog: I definitely will. Actually, I feel like I’m going crazy because I want to do it with you, but I’m holding back.

When I sent the message, a reply came again after a while.

Eunchang: You don’t have to endure it…

“Oh… Can I just do it now?”

From Noble mtl dot com

My heart was already pounding at the thought of putting an end to the others and spending time with Eunchae every day.

Dog: I really can’t stand it anymore. Be prepared.

Eunchang: hahahaha

***

As the two people were exchanging sweet text messages, a message that no one in the shelter could see was constantly appearing.

***

The next day, the dog that came up to the rooftop was rubbing Lara, who was now as big as his thighs, and Lulu, whose wings were as long as his arms, on either side.

(Please, human… Can you give me more points?)

(Oh, stop begging, you pig! There is no awareness of spirits, so that’s a joke.)

But, ignoring Lulu’s scolding, Lara spoke again, showing off her plump belly.

(Look at this, human, the flesh that was supposed to flow down that much now only comes down to this point.)

(Oh, how pathetic.)

Despite the chattering sounds of spirits whispering in his ears, the dog did not move at all, just staring at the people pouring out of the two neighboring shelters outside the shelter he owned.

“The atmosphere is unusual…”

More precisely, when people A came out from one shelter, people B from another shelter were approaching the people who came out first, as if they were watching.

It is common sense that the strong approach the weak first. The prediction that B, which was now approaching, would be a stronger group was a judgment born from extremely normal thinking.

“As A turns to the right, B is also moving accordingly. Is there some kind of clairvoyant ability in team B? Even though the distance is far, the selection of the route is accurate. There is no comparison in terms of information acquisition ability. “

Then a question suddenly occurred to me. Team A, who came out first, why did they come out? Gathering? Or hunting? Simple reconnaissance? There must be a reason why I came out with the equipment fully set up.

There seemed to be a reason for the move even though it would be difficult to see results no matter what.

And finally, we reached the moment where A and B would meet at the edge of the wall.

However, Team A suddenly stopped in their tracks and started running away in the complete opposite direction.

– ·········!

Team B started to quickly chase after Team A, shouting something, and when the distance between the two teams gradually narrowed, a strange incident occurred.

“It’s a trap.”

– Bwaak, bwaak, bagaak ㅡ!

– ·················!!!

Dozens of stone fists much larger than my torso came out from inside the wall and struck Team B, who was chasing them along the wall.

“You were just pretending to get bullied. Team A is pretty good, right?”

There is a person on Team A who has the ability to sell traps. In that case, it means that Team B knew in advance that there was someone capable of spying on them and installed it…

“I didn’t get to stage 21 for nothing.”

In the end, Team B’s formation collapsed with that one blow, and even so, it took a fairly long battle before it was resolved.

“hehehehe, it’s really fun to watch small-bodied people fight.”

Team A took away all the equipment that Team B was wearing, made them naked, and dragged the two women towards their shelter.

“···Wow, that’s scary”

I wondered if this was what Lingling warned me about.

For almost fifteen days, the two teams must have been doing preliminary work, thinking about how they could steal each other’s equipment.

“There is no place as peaceful as our shelter.”

Maybe all the spectators left because it was so boring?

In particular, spectator 147, who is a battle fanatic, may have disconnected as soon as the life content started.

‘Has sponsorship gone beyond the water now… Sigh…’

I could faintly see the messages from the spectators chattering away, but since there didn’t seem to be many of them, I swallowed a bit of disappointment and fed the spirits little by little.
