The Jelly Alien Will Save You!

Episode 14

“Older Brother, you know I worked hard at that game, right?”

At my sudden words, the tip of the tentacle tilted to the side. It seemed like he was tilting his head.

“You mean that thing where you went around catching ugly monsters?”

“Yeah. It’s a game called 【Cute Cute! Planet Mon!】, where a jelly alien collects things called Planet Mons. And that jelly alien is me now.”

Older Brother floated a big question mark above his tentacle, as if he had no idea why I was bringing this up now.

“I think this place has merged with that game world, and Older Brother has become a boss in the game.”

“What?”

“So, do you know how to clear an unbeatable boss in 【Cute Cute! Planet Mon!】?”

I raised my gaze and met his bright yellow eyes. Then I grinned.

“You use a trick to tame the boss (the act of taming monsters to make them subordinates).”

“What?”

Looking at Older Brother who asked back in bewilderment, I lifted the S-rank egg I had prepared in advance above my head.

The S-rank egg that was about to hatch was emitting quite warm heat. Planet Mons are created from condensed purification power after all.

In other words, tremendous purification energy was condensed in this egg.

“Like this.”

Saying that, I hurled the egg down to the floor.

Crack!

Whoooosh-!

Light poured out from the broken egg like a storm.

The surrounding darkness was torn apart, and the bright yellow pupils began to be dyed with rainbow colors.

My purification power is insignificant.

Older Brother, who sees essence, probably knew everything.

That’s why he was determined to get me out of this place.

But he probably didn’t expect that I could obtain purification power from elsewhere.

In 【Cute Cute! Planet Mon!】, when clearing a boss with a huge level difference, you break Planet Mon eggs to supplement insufficient purification power.

You sacrifice the egg to tame a higher-level boss.

Older Brother’s massive body flinched and swayed in the storm-like flow of power.

-Grrrrrr!

It wasn’t a sound coming from something like a speaker as before. That was a gasp coming from his main body.

At the same time, cracks began to form on Older Brother’s body.

-Graaaah!

Rainbow light exploded out from inside Older Brother’s body.

I embraced the suffering Older Brother.

“Purification-!”

I’ll definitely save Older Brother.

Even if I have to add my meager strength.

I felt power drain out of my body in chunks and flow into Older Brother.

-Graaaaaaah!

It felt like all the moisture in my body was being squeezed out. At the same time, my strawberry milk-colored body began to turn pale white.

Power was being sucked in to a degree I could no longer handle.

A fierce wind whirled around, but my strongly adhered body showed no intention of falling off.

The rainbow light grew stronger and stronger, and I squeezed my eyes shut while tightly embracing Older Brother.

It was the moment I thought I was really going to die like this.

I felt someone grab the back of my neck and pull me away.

“…!”

I was lifted up dangling like that.

“Huff…!”

As I clenched and unclenched my hands, pink color began to return to the jelly that had turned pale white.

“I thought I was going to die….”

It was Chae Heon who saved me from near death.

Chae Heon was looking toward where Older Brother was with a stern face.

“What the hell did you do?”

“Ah, well…!”

Were you curious? You must be curious.

I was getting cocky and about to tell him, when just then light was exploding from Older Brother’s body as if the purification had succeeded.

So bright!

We covered our eyes and turned our faces away.

Something like a scream rang out tearingly next to our ears, then gradually faded away as if sinking into water.

‘Older Brother isn’t going to be hurt, is he?’

Suddenly scared, I shook my body vigorously to escape from Chae Heon’s hand. It was to check on Older Brother’s condition.

Plop!

Having tumbled down to the floor, I immediately opened my eyes.

Fortunately, the light had already subsided so I could look around.

The old concrete walls, fallen display shelves, and the desolate shopping mall were revealed as they were.

Where is Older Brother?

While drumbeats were pounding in my chest, Chae Heon asked tactlessly.

“Did you kill him?”

“No!”

Kill him, how could you say such a thing!

Just when I was afraid something had really gone wrong, I heard rustling sounds from the concrete debris.

Over there!

Boing boing boing boing!

I ran over there and cleared away the concrete debris.

Chae Heon came over belatedly and helped clear it away.

With his help, the figure I was looking for soon became visible.

“Older Brother!”

It was like a soft jelly doll with a smooth round bald head and small fins on both sides.

It was much smaller than me in size, and looked very cute.

When I lifted Older Brother up like that, eight plump legs drooped down below.

He looked powerless, but fortunately he was breathing regularly.

Tears welled up instantly.

‘I met Older Brother again….’

I hugged Older Brother tightly.

He was warm.

“Sniff!”

I sobbed a little, then with tears glistening in my eyes, I held up the dumbo octopus (a small deep-sea octopus the size of a palm) in front of Chae Heon.

“Chae Heooon… *sniff*!”

I sniffled and said with a beaming smile.

“This is my older brother.”

“….”

Chae Heon seemed at a loss for words looking at the plump dumbo octopus.

Whether he was or not, I hugged my older brother who had become a Planet Mon tightly once again. While shedding tears profusely at the warm warmth.

Thank goodness. Thank goodness.

It was when I was repeating “thank goodness” several times.

Suddenly Chae Heon looked around with a serious expression.

There were only corroded abandoned buildings and debris around, but Chae Heon seemed to sense something.

“Let’s go back for now.”

“Hm? Why?”

“The atmosphere is strange.”

As if to prove those words, strange roars suddenly echoed from all around.

With Yongsan Station’s Xion gone, the monsters that had been holding their breath began to move again.

To claim the new throne.

I tried to move quickly at the monsters’ roars, but my body swayed greatly.

It felt like my soft body was following a beat behind.

“Uh… something’s wrong with me…”

When I tried to put strength in my hands, it felt like I was flowing like pudding rather than jelly.

The pink color that had returned to normal was fading again. As if the color was draining out.

Then Chae Heon let out a sigh and lifted me up, tucking me under his arm.

“You really are high maintenance.”

“Hehe hehe…”

Tucked under his arm, I hugged Older Brother and giggled drowsily as if intoxicated by medicine.

I could feel Chae Heon snorting as if he found it absurd, but I didn’t care at all.

Because I had safely rescued Older Brother.
