17 – No one in mind that annoys me.
Let’s manage the expression, Gyunah.
Looking to the side, Insun’s face has brightened even more.
Upgrading once in a while when people’s complaints accumulate seems like a good idea. Note.
“Haeun, want to call Lulu and Lala?”
“Can I do it?”
Nodding her head, Haeun hesitated for a moment, then closed her eyes tightly and began to mutter.
“Is this some kind of spell or something?”
It was a strange language she had never heard before.
Hmm-hmm-
“Wha- What is that?”
Something like a cotton candy floated above Haeun’s shoulders and gently descended to the ground, spinning round and round.
“Yes!”
…Huh? What does ‘yes’ mean?
Squirm-!
“Eek! Surprise!”
Two pure white cotton candies wriggled and crawled towards Haeun.
What is that, it looks like a caterpillar, or a chubby snake, or just like cotton candy coming to life, it looks strangely peculiar.
“hehehe, they’re so cute.”
The creatures that had nestled in Haeun’s arms suddenly settled down and stopped moving.
They feel so soft when touched…
– The spirit ‘Lulu•Lala’ has been summoned.
– Synchronize with Shelter? Y/N
Yes.
Pop-!
Two caterpillars were surrounded by light for a moment, then the light disappeared.
– Synchronization complete.
– Set the ratio of points to feed the spirit after completing the stage. (1~10%)
Might as well go for 10%!!!!
– Registered.
“Hmm… Is it over?”
Huh-
“Mister! Have you decided how many points to release?”
“Huh? Why, what’s up?”
“You didn’t max it out, did you?”
All six of them stare at me silently.
“I put in 10%.”
“Ah! Why not! Discuss it before deciding!”
“I was afraid it would fail!! hahahahaha!!”
Gahee started hitting my forearm with her palm like a maniac.
Oh no, stop that!
I’ve never even been hit by my parents!!
“··· G-Gahee, stop it-“
Eunchae… Eunchae is really nice.
As Eunchae intervenes, skeptical looks are directed at me.
Huh… Do I have to talk about the points I have?
It’s like boasting about money for a sudden rich man, isn’t it?
“hehehehe, stop it, Gahee. You’ve been in first place so far, trying to outdo us.”
“…Well, that’s true, but…”
That’s right, I’m in first place! Come to think of it, there’s no reason for me to be so flustered, is there?
“Jungsoo is right, Gahee. You need to show more respect for the leader.”
“…Okay… I’m sorry, sir.”
“Oh, it’s fine. I decided on my own, so let’s just leave it at that.”
“…”
“Although I can’t disclose everything, there’s still some leeway with the points, so there shouldn’t be any immediate necessity to buy things for daily life. Of course, I’m also considering Stage 21.”
Looking at the nodding heads, it seemed like they were somewhat understanding.
Well, that’s roughly settled.
“Hey, Ajusshi.”
Hm? When Haeun turned her head in that direction, some soldiers were staring at me intensely.
“Oh my! When did they get here?”
Are they on leave?
Tap, tap!
First, I approached them to check their magic power.
44, 71, 58, 70. Not bad for this team.
+13P
Showing a note on their clothes, people requesting to be taken in.
But since their abilities were all nothing special, they were turned away.
Still, the soldiers turned away calmly and continued to make contact with other shelters.
It’s a bit disappointing and reedy to go there like that.

Hmm!
“Hmm? Do you have something to say?”
“Well, rather than anything specific, I think I may have overreacted just now…”
“It’s nothing, but it’s better to tackle than just stand still.”
“hehehehe… Is that so? I think the same way!”
I mean it. I need to speak up about opinions I haven’t thought of, even if it’s just a little chance of survival.
“Go take a nap or something.”
“What about you, sir? Are you planning to contact all those people?”
There were still about three or four teams waiting.
“Yeah.”
Maybe there’s someone with abilities like Ana and Gahee.
And then he scanned the next team.
Four men in their late twenties, maybe.
55, 60, 79, 62
Monster Hunter (Intermediate)
– Attack speed increases by 0.3% each time a monster is defeated directly.
Deadly Roar (Advanced)
– When shouted, decreases the shields of nearby enemies by 4%. (Consumes 1 stamina)
Wow, this team seems pretty decent, huh?
We’ll have to see the Beast Hunters fight for themselves, but Deadly Roar is definitely a good trait.
I was considering it positively, but the guys seemed put off and left without a word.
When I looked back, Gahee and Inseon were glaring at the guys with anger.
“Is it a bad connection from the first round?”
Hmm… Maybe because we’re bound to similar areas even after regression, we keep running into connections from the previous rounds.
One team hesitated and then left, and only one team remained at the end, but their attire seems a bit casual.
It was a team of five women, all wearing revealing dresses.
“Aren’t they afraid of the wild animals around here..”
They did have coats on, but…
“…It’s not exactly appropriate attire.”
Well, of course it wouldn’t look that way to Hyuna. It looks very appropriate to me.
When I turned around, Uncle had completely turned away.
He must have seen the red ears, even that gentleman over there.
And suddenly, Gahee, Eunchae, and Insun were behind me.
Phew… It’s getting hard to breathe.
At least the magic power is between 40 and 70. Not bad.
Seems like there are many in this range usually.
Traits…
Pigarset’s Secret (Intermediate)
– It steals traits with a slight probability when absorbing the vitality of reason.
·········
What’s this talk about…
Stealing traits? Are you insane?
The woman in front winks and licks her lips.
It’s tempting, but I don’t want to risk losing my traits. Rejected.
There was nothing else to see.
Drawing an X, a few hits with a shoe on the shelter, and the departing women.
“Still, their figures are really amazing~”
Unintentionally admiring the backs of the leaving women, I felt a cold aura, and when I turned around, four women were looking at me with a pitiful gaze.
“Ah, seriously…”
Haeun, why are you opening your eyes like that too?
Sighing softly, I walked to the opposite side of the shelter.
However, Gahee and Eunchae followed and started walking side by side.
Why? Please don’t disturb my alone time, hehehehe
“Uncle? Do you happen to like this kind of style?”
*Cough* What? What are you talking about?
“No, let’s go, Eun Chae.”
“······”
Both of them walked towards the cozy sofa, and I stood there alone, bewildered.
What should I say in response to such words? I’ve never had a conversation with a woman before, so I have no idea what her intentions are··· Did she ask out of genuine curiosity? Does she like me? Wouldn’t most guys like someone who is beautiful and has a good body?
Scratching my head, I glanced towards the sofa, but all the seats were occupied by women, and it seemed like there was no place for me.
Contemplating whether I should buy another one, I slumped into a study chair.
Then, Mr. Jeong Su passed by, patting my shoulder.
Uncle··· What does it mean?
“··· Miss Eun Gyeon, there’s a suitable person in the job applicants. Would you like to take a look?”
“Oh, yes, Hyun Ah.”
“··· Please lend me a hand.”
Thunk-
Would you like to receive the information shared? Y/N
Of course.

Characteristics: Debugger category.
Urgently forming a team. It’s really hard to stay on this team. It’s chaos after a knife fight in the shelter. It’s an urgent situation, but I still prefer a better team than here. Please leave a comment with at least minimal information. After Stage 8, I will request a one-on-one conversation.
“I think it’s better if Eunyeon leaves a comment.”
“Understood.”
– Unni, who are you? Let’s share.
– Me too, me too.
Speed, speed is life!
Debugger, it smells like honey.
Secret post: I am in charge of the team’s leader. Currently, there are 6 members, including me, and they have outstanding abilities. Just upgraded to a higher level in the shelter. Waiting for contact.
– Would you like to register a comment? Y/N
Yes.
– Strong penalties apply for posting false information in the job-seeking section.
Oh, they manage well here. That means the author posted the information as it is.
Good, good.
“Any other good people?”
“…I’m still searching, but not many noticeable people.”
Oh, Hyuna is trustworthy. As expected.
Upon hearing that, Yu In-soon and Eun Chae hastily start searching.
“Ah-hee-hee… This time, I’ll definitely protect you.”
Looking at Haeun, who embraces lively caterpillars and playfully teases, it feels like my mind is clearing even without sleeping.
I want to touch it, but I feel like it might burst if I do. Let’s endure.
Others are also looking at the spirit, but their expressions, though not very bright, seem complicated.
However, that’s probably a worry about the distant future, not someone worrying about the next stage right away.
Looking out into the dimming outside, I dream again today. Hoping for a day when I don’t worry about tomorrow to come.
***
Among the people I’ve seen in my life, isn’t he the biggest?
I don’t know how scary it was when I first reached out my fingers.
Worried about what would happen if his arm suddenly pulled me.
But the worried event didn’t happen, and soon I was met with a disappointed expression.
As expected… with my characteristics, if I work hard somehow, it should be okay.
I don’t want to die again. That sensation of being constantly eroded and disappearing is something I never want to feel again.
The man walking ahead, carrying the burden, was truly an amazing person. A man who was alone in ranking first on Earth.
I’ve never been first in class.
The time talking about Gahee and the uncle is gradually increasing.
Gahee unexpectedly rated the uncle’s first impression positively. Except for Uncle, no one had a positive evaluation of a man, but can I trust and be relieved? Still, when that physique approaches, there’s nothing to be afraid of.
In battle, he fights without sparing his body, and shelter management is diligent. He spends points generously, not worrying about later. Even though I’m worried about the future, if he continues to be first, points will accumulate explosively at some point. Let’s believe.
The uncle seems to have a variety of expressions. Does he know himself? Gahee doesn’t know, so she just said to leave it alone. It’s funny to watch.
So, when I quietly observe, it seems a bit interesting.
His expression changes constantly as if he’s thinking about something inside.
There’s less than an hour left until the start of the second battle.
I knocked several times to wake the old man, but he wouldn’t get up.
Sir?
No matter how many times I called, he wouldn’t wake up, so I eventually gave his arm a little tap.
It was incredibly hard. I wondered if a person’s body could become like this.
The old man, who finally woke up a moment later, yawned after throwing off the blanket.
I should have just turned around and left at that moment.
I was momentarily fascinated by the old man’s muscular body, so I ended up looking down.
·········
What on earth is that······
My head spun for a moment.
In the end, I mumbled something and hurriedly left.
I had to catch my breath for a while.
I didn’t expect my flushed face to cool down.
Before a battle, you should be in good condition··· Even if you’re in perfect condition, it’s not much help. I need to get my act together.
Gahee asked what had happened. When I didn’t answer, she asked the old man, and I ended up telling her.
Upon hearing it, Gahee laughed for a while and said it’s better to just act as usual. That person would be more embarrassed.
Is that so? It could be.
“But seriously, how high was it?”
“What? What are you talking about?”
“The thing you saw, how high did it shoot up? Tell me, poke-poke.”
“-! Oh my goodness! Ugh…”
“Oh, seriously, I’m so curious. Just show me the height with your hand like this, come on.”
“Ah, really… this, this much?”
“What? Are you kidding? Are you a human? That’s only 30cm, you fool.”
“Ah, then is it this much?”
“That’s still ridiculous, but anyway, it seems pretty big. It’s worth the size, that bear.”
“Ugh…”
“hahahahaha”
“D-Don’t laugh like that…”
“Hey, but when you were at Stage 21…”
“Um?”
“Ah! No, never mind! Let’s get ready for battle!”
…I don’t know what Gahee was trying to say, but I… If I want to use my abilities, I have to do something at that time.
But is it even reasonable to raise a baby to enhance my abilities in this world?
Can I raise a baby normally in this world?
From Noble mtl dot com
And now I’m 20 years old, well, actually 21, but anyway.
I don’t know. I just hope to prove my usefulness and avoid being put up for a vote.
I’m lost in various thoughts after the battle when I see women in revealing clothes standing in front of a man.
Isn’t it scary to survive with that appearance… with that mindset?
It won’t work. That man seems a little stubborn, so I might have to help him if things go south.
Standing behind the man, I observed as the woman in front of him blinked rapidly and licked her lips with a snake-like tongue. What is she doing, seriously? Such a funny woman.
Surely, he wouldn’t consider taking in a woman like her, right?
As expected, the man firmly shook his head.
Heh heh, well then. It’s only been a day, but the man I’ve seen wouldn’t be swayed by such temptation—
Why do you keep staring? Stop looking, why are you so fixated on the woman who’s been rejected? Seriously, you’re acting ridiculous. Foolish idiot.
I decided to go stand next to the man walking along the wall and gave him a little nudge.
Pffft- When I nudged him, his expression really changed in a strange way. This man is really amusing.
He definitely doesn’t seem like a bad person.
Maybe… I can relax a little.
