The Jelly Alien Will Save You!

 

Episode 31

 

* * *

 

“Purify!”

 

This too.

 

“Purify!”

 

That too.

 

“Puuuurifyyy!”

 

None of this or that is working.

 

Then…

 

“Hyaaahhh…!”

 

I placed my hands together and gathered my energy.

 

Captain Gong Ju Won looked at me with expectant eyes.

 

I don’t want to disappoint those eyes!

 

“Earthlings! Everyone lend me your strength! Haaah-!”

 

“I’ll give you mine!”

 

Gong Ju Won and Older Brother added their strength from beside me.

 

“Kwaaaahhh!”

 

“~~~~~!!”

 

“Hyaaahhh!”

 

Chae Heon, who came carrying a meal tray, looked at us and said.

 

“They’re playing around.”

 

Just then, the power of purification shot out from my hands.

 

The rainbow light of purification grazed past Captain Gong’s left arm.

 

“…!”

 

Finally, the rainbow light appeared!

 

Of course, his arm remained the same, but the musty smell seemed to have lessened a bit.

 

However, having used all my strength, I collapsed with a thud, having turned completely white.

 

“Jelly!”

 

“Captain Gong… My purification can only go this far…”

 

“To think you’d exert yourself until you became a white jelly for my sake…”

 

“This much is nothing… We’re comrades, aren’t we?”

 

“Jelly…!”

 

Meanwhile, Chae Heon set down the meal tray on the daecheongmaru.

 

“Stop playing around and eat.”

 

I slowly got up and sat properly at the dining table. Then I picked up my spoon and said.

 

“Sorry, Captain Gong. My purification power seems insufficient.”

 

“Not at all. It’s fine. Rather, I’m grateful that you exerted yourself like this.”

 

I had revealed that I possessed purification abilities as soon as we returned home.

 

“This is really a secret between just us that you can’t tell anyone! I’m telling you this trusting in our deli bun friendship, you understand?”

 

“Yes, I understand!”

 

But the problem was that despite revealing it so solemnly, I hadn’t seen much effect.

 

In the end, Captain Gong Ju Won decided to live with us until his contamination could be purified.

 

Captain Gong shouted “Thank you for the meal!” loudly before starting to munch on his food. Although one of his arms was contaminated, his mind was clear and everywhere else was healthy.

 

“But Captain Gong, about that… work, is it okay? That VM thing or whatever you were doing.”

 

At my question, Captain Gong Ju Won swallowed the rice he was chewing and said.

 

“The mission will continue. I can report the situation without making direct contact with the unit.”

 

“How?”

 

“There are several locations selected as contact points. I just need to fire signal flares there.”

 

“Contact points?”

 

“Yes. We selected places without Xion, and there’s exactly one place like that in Yongsan.”

 

Oh. A place without Xion.

 

My eyes sparkled.

 

“Then it’s safe with nothing there? Like our house?”

 

Captain Gong Ju Won laughed, then soon became serious and said.

 

“There’s no such place in Yongsan.”

 

“Yeah… I guess that’s right.”

 

“Instead, it’s a somewhat safe place. Since there’s no Xion. It’s a hospital that’s safely just got some zombies.”

 

I narrowed my eyes. How very safe, a place with zombies.

 

“Haha. That place is an amazing farming spot for hunters. Zombies have low intelligence so they’re not threatening, plus medical supplies are generated periodically at the hospital.”

 

“…Captain Gong, you’re a hunter too, right?”

 

“Yes, our Special Forces are entirely composed of hunters.”

 

As expected, he was someone with a somewhat numbed brain. As befitting a strong person, most hunters had their danger alerts paralyzed.

 

“So Jelly even knows the term hunter.”

 

Captain Gong Ju Won seemed a little surprised as he petted me.

 

Lately, now that we’ve gotten close, he doesn’t seem to think of me as a ferocious jelly. Rather, he seems to think I’m soft, which activated my title (When appearing ferocious, dignity given to opponents doubles; when appearing soft, happiness felt increases by double), making me feel good.

 

I said in a somewhat sulky voice.

 

“I know everything too. They’re indigenous Earth species who awakened and became stronger.”

 

Literally, hunters meant superhumans stronger than civilians.

 

However, people who awakened special powers (skills) like shooting fire or lightning as in comics or novels were extremely few, and they were usually classified as S-rank.

 

Suddenly, I petted Older Brother who I was holding in my arms.

 

The guild ‘Queisa’ that Older Brother created was an elite guild composed entirely of S-ranks.

 

But was the Yongsan Dungeon so tremendous that even they couldn’t stop it?

 

“So we’re going to ‘Han Seong Hospital’?”

 

Chae Heon, who had finished his meal, asked Captain Gong Ju Won.

 

“That’s right, you know it too!”

 

Then Chae Heon narrowed his eyes and rested his chin on his hand.

 

“What are you going to report there? That Colonel Chae Heon, who they thought was dead, and a purifying jelly are living in Yongsan?”

 

Black smoke seemed to rise around Chae Heon as he spoke slowly.

 

Captain Gong Ju Won drooped his tail as if he was about to make a whimpering sound.

 

“The military will go crazy trying to find my house. Right?”

 

Chae Heon raised his eyebrows and smiled eerily.

 

Look at him smiling so scary.

 

I decided to take Captain Gong Ju Won’s side at this point.

 

“Captain Gong promised me. That he’d never talk about me. Right?”

 

Gong Ju Won nodded vigorously.

 

“Y-yes. Since we made the deli bun treaty, I’ll only report my situation and the cherry tomato juice that Jelly sells from the vending machine.”

 

Chae Heon frowned as if he didn’t like that either.

 

But I answered enthusiastically.

 

“Good!”

 

“Why? What’s good about it?”

 

Chae Heon looked completely uncomprehending.

 

“You see, vending machines need many people to use them to accumulate money.”

 

“In this ruined world, why do you keep trying to make money? You could survive just by going out and continuing to grow cherry tomatoes.”

 

“Cherry tomatoes? How can you live eating just that! Just wait and see. What do you know about what I’ll be able to dispense from my vending machine, huh? What do you know about whether I’ll be able to eat warm white rice with a slice of spam on top, huh!”

 

When I revealed my grand ambitions, Chae Heon shook his head.

 

He doesn’t believe me, again.

 

On the other hand, Captain Gong Ju Won made a fuss asking ‘How does Jelly know about rice with spam’ while spinning me around.

 

Both of them are treating me like an idiot. I pouted and stuck out my lips.

 

Ha! It’s fine. Soon my accumulated coins will reach 1,000!

 

[Cosmic Coin Holdings: 891cc]

 

Once I collect 1,000 coins, I’ll be able to order new items.

 

While I was thinking about it, I opened my survival handbook.

 

Even now, coins were steadily accumulating.

 

+35cc

 

+35cc

 

.

 

.

 

.

 

“….”

 

But unfortunately, the sales speed was much slower than before.

 

It seemed to be because of those Yellow Hazmat Suits monitoring the vending machine.

 

I entered the spaceship and let out a deep sigh.

 

“Sigh.”

 

If I could place a few more vending machines in places where lots of people pass by, that would roughly solve the problem….

 

The more people looking for them, the better the products would sell, and the reach of those Yellow Hazmat Suits who dare to try managing my vending machines would inevitably be spread thin.

 

Just as I was thinking about that.

 

The survival handbook’s screen flashed.

 

[Cumulative 1,000 coins achieved!]

 

[Cosmic Universal Vending Machine can be upgraded to Lv.2.]

 

“Huh?”
