The Jelly Alien Will Save You!
Episode 35
“H-hide…!”
Red Hazmat Mask went into a nearby hospital room with Ain. The boys also rushed to follow behind.
I escaped from Ain’s embrace and took out my spaceship.
Then I boarded the box that had returned to its original size and began flying straight up to the rooftop. Older Brother stuck close to the back of my head, fluttering his tentacles.
Chae Heon and Captain Gong Ju Won shouted from behind.
“Where are you going!”
“Jelly!”
But there was no time to answer them.
My heart was pounding.
The closer I got to the rooftop, the stronger the vibration in my chest became.
It meant I was getting closer to a Queisa Guild member.
I briefly glanced at Older Brother’s tentacles wrapped around my neck.
Older Brother was a ‘Xion’.
And Ain said that what was on the rooftop was a ‘Xion’.
Most importantly, this keyring doll that was picked up on the rooftop.
Then…
‘What if…!’
Still inexperienced at piloting the spaceship, I crashed and tumbled around corners before popping out onto the rooftop.
Wooooong-
A sound like a ship’s horn vibrated in all directions.
Though the sun hadn’t set yet, it was dim outside.
Because the sun was blocked.
‘That thing’ was massive enough to cover the entire sky above the General Hospital.
The huge mass was slowly but surely passing over the hospital, as if swimming through the sky.
It was a whale flying through the sky with large fins.
‘If Queisa became Xion…’
I held up my badge. The badge vibrated even more strongly as it got closer to the Xion.
If that’s the case.
‘I can meet my older sister and brothers again!’
Tears welled up suddenly.
Wooooong-
‘That thing’ was moving forward while making a long crying sound.
I gripped the keyring doll tightly.
This keyring doll’s name was ‘Do Gyeol’.
It was a Queisa series doll that Kwon Bora had made modeled after the guild members.
Since it was a limited edition, the doll’s brand tag had numbers written in order of release, and this doll had ‘Queisa NO.1’ written on it.
And NO.1 belonged to Kwon Bora.
‘Kwon Bora…’
Older Brother hugged me as I burst into tears. I hugged him tightly back.
I followed the direction of the tail with my blurry vision to the very end, but the Xion flew above the clouds and disappeared in an instant.
As I was shedding tears over that, a long shadow fell at my feet.
It was Chae Heon.
He roughly wiped my flowing tears with the back of his hand.
“Is it because of the Xion?”
I nodded my head.
“Hug me.”
Being the helpless spoiled child I am, I spread my arms toward Chae Heon.
Then Chae Heon hugged me without asking anything.
Pat pat.
He just patted my back and remained silent.
I often appreciated Chae Heon’s such caring silence.
“Chae Heooon… sniff!”
“What, are you uncomfortable somewhere?”
I shook my head and said.
“I’m hungry.”
A growling sound followed after the sniffling.
“…”
* * *
Sizzle sizzle.
The skewers with green onions chopped into chunks and threaded with meat began to cook.
“Crazy. Look at the color of that meat…”
“The smell is killer…”
“This is the first time I’ve seen green onions since coming here.”
“Me too, me too.”
Gulp.
Gulp.
Sounds of swallowing saliva could be heard from here and there.
Today’s meat was from a mutant resembling a wild boar that Captain Gong Ju Won had caught and I had purified.
In a world where strangely-shaped mutants run wild, it’s hard to find such decent game, so I guess we were lucky.
While Captain Gong Ju Won prepared the meat, I chopped green onions grown in our house’s garden and made skewers.
After eating my special purified green onion skewers, the boys were delighted, saying their bodies somehow felt lighter.
These were kids who couldn’t even see their own contamination levels. Seeing that they brought such ordinary kids to the Contaminated Area to use them made me even angrier.
Captain Gong Ju Won must have felt the same way as he clenched his fists tightly.
With my puffy eyes, I was fanning next to the grilled skewers when I casually asked Ain.
“But when did the Xion appear? I heard there originally weren’t any Xion here.”
Ain, who was blowing on and eating a green onion skewer, said.
“Ahem, yes. It appeared not long ago. Since after we arrived here, so about three days…”
“Really? Then do you happen to know where it’s going?”
“I don’t know about that either.”
I asked persistently about when and where the Xion appears, but Ain just shook her head saying she didn’t know well.
I should have turned on the map and followed it.
‘Stupid Do Dam.’
When I hit my head, Older Brother rubbed the spot I hit. As if telling me not to blame myself.
Always gentle Older Brother.
As I was holding hands tightly with Older Brother, Red Hazmat Mask said while eating skewers.
“Aren’t you going to grill the octopus?”
“Die!”
With my eyes rolled back, I tried to charge forward angrily, but Older Brother wrapped around my limbs and stopped me.
If it weren’t for Older Brother, you would have been knocked out by my punch!
* * *
After finishing our meal, Captain Gong Ju Won fired a flare from the rooftop.
I was worried that the loud noise and light might attract nearby mutants, but it was just a small machine-like thing flying high up.
After firing the flare like that.
Captain Gong Ju Won told Red Hazmat Mask what to report to the unit, and I purified the Hospital Courtyard.
“Why are you only purifying here? Running low on mana?”
Chae Heon watched the amount I was doing and asked.
“No. If I purify everything, the medicine won’t regenerate. Since that’s probably an abnormal phenomenon caused by contamination, I left it on purpose.”
I installed a vending machine in the purified area.
Seeing the green land expanding on the map and my vending machine tag planted there made me feel pleased. It’s just like a territory game.
Since I didn’t have any tomatoes set aside, I put raw green onion skewers in the hospital vending machine for now.
The price was 35cc.
Whether tomatoes or green onions. Green onions get purified too, so it shouldn’t matter.
“What’s this?”
“A vending machine?”
“What kind of vending machine is that?”
Soon the guys who had filled their stomachs started wandering over and examining my vending machine.
“Oh, right. Do you guys have Cosmic Coins? Those coins you get for catching mutants.”
“Those? The Scavenger Boss took them all away from us.”
“Really?”
Well, when their labor was being exploited, it would be stranger if they had coins.
“This is that thing, right? The vending machine where you can buy purification items.”
“Amazing. So something like this really existed.”
“Regular coins won’t work?”
“No. Only Cosmic Coins can be used. Tell the soldier uncles to make sure to buy something when they come.”
I waved my hands dismissively and left the kids examining the vending machine as I walked away.
Bounce bounce bounce bounce.
Time had passed quickly and it was already becoming night.
“How do we get home?”
When I asked Chae Heon, who was standing alone at a distance, he turned his head.
“We’ll have to walk.”
“When?”
“Now.”
“What? You said it takes two hours to walk! Are you going to carry me on your back?”
“Don’t you ever think about trying to walk by yourself?”
“Uh. How am I supposed to keep up with these short legs? My crotch will split.”
Chae Heon seemed at a loss for words and fell silent for a moment before speaking again.
“…Then ride that flying box or something.”
“It’s not a box, it’s a spaceship. And I told you I’m still not good at driving it.”
At that, Chae Heon grabbed my ear with one hand. Then he started walking while dangling and shaking it.
It was in the direction of our house.
I giggled and called out to him.
“Chae Heon.”
“I’m not carrying you on my back.”
“That’s not it, I have something to ask you.”
“What is it.”
“Why don’t you go back outside?”
