The Jelly Alien Will Save You!
Episode 38
You might think, ‘If I keep insisting I won’t wash every day and become a bundle of worries, wouldn’t that bring in free money?’ but…
[※ No additional rewards will be given for repeating the same type of worry.]
…there was a notice attached that completely blocked such wicked thoughts.
Tch!
I flipped through my survival notebook.
Chae Heon’s worry had been resolved.
Then what was Captain Gong Ju Won’s worry?
It would be good to resolve Captain Gong Ju Won’s worry while I’m at it and rake in some coins.
‘Above all, the rewards are generous. I’ll suck these Earthlings dry to the bone.’
I rubbed my hands together like a fly.
>Gong Ju Won’s worry
-Laid eggs.
>Do Gyeol’s worry
-£]%|new region ,^]*+exploration ＄^]¥
My head tilted in confusion.
Older Brother is there too… Well, Older Brother is the most important person in my worldview.
No, that’s not the point.
I raised my trembling gaze slightly upward. Then this time I examined the important sentence again without avoiding it.
>Gong Ju Won’s worry
-Laid eggs.
Laid… laid…?
Who?
I was so bewildered that my mouth moved on its own.
“Captain Gong, you laid eggs?”
Then Captain Gong Ju Won jumped up in shock, his face turning pale.
“What?! How did you know?!”
I jumped up too.
“Hey, I’m the alien who should be surprised here!”
Captain Gong Ju Won soon spoke awkwardly.
“My left hand seems to have laid eggs.”
“You really laid eggs?!”
I shouted in surprise.
Older Brother also seemed surprised as his eyes widened, and even Chae Heon looked genuinely shocked this time.
Thunk, the axe Chae Heon was using to chop wood fell to the ground.
* * *
“Ever since Jelly-nim shot the purification beam at me last night, my hand has been strange. It felt like my skin was twitching, and I laid eggs at dawn that day.”
“Stop saying ‘laid’ all the time…”
“Yeah yeah, don’t do that.”
Chae Heon grabbed his head, and I agreed.
“Yes, understood. I’ll report again. I generated eggs last night.”
That was just as bizarre.
I had been shooting purification power at Captain Gong Ju Won’s left hand with all my might every night recently. It was to purify his contaminated arm.
Had that caused problems? But could purification power even cause problems?
Chae Heon surprisingly listened calmly and made his judgment about this situation that had even shocked an alien.
“So you’re saying this guy’s potato attached to Captain Gong’s left arm is the problem?”
“It’s not a potato, it’s a cosmic spirit.”
“And that potato spits out purification power?”
“Rather than spitting out purification power, it laid egg- no, it generated eggs. I woke up and opened my hand to find I was holding this egg.”
Captain Gong Ju Won took out an egg from his chest and showed it.
It was about the size of a chicken egg.
The color was white, with rainbow hues flowing across its smooth surface.
This… is totally a miniature version of a Planetmon egg, isn’t it?
Then Captain Gong Ju Won put the egg down on the ground.
And then he started taking out more eggs.
“…You laid this many?”
“Yes.”
Captain Gong Ju Won answered shyly.
* * *
Sizzle sizzle.
Eggs were cooking right before my eyes. The savory smell filled the old kitchen.
It was the smell of fried eggs that I hadn’t smelled in a long time.
Chae Heon skillfully flipped the fried egg.
I crouched down next to the fireplace and sniffed deeply.
“I said, I said I would raise them…”
“You said they wouldn’t grow.”
“Some of them might grow.”
They looked similar to the S-grade Planetmon eggs I had used on Older Brother, so I said I would raise them for research purposes, but while I was sleeping, Chae Heon committed this heinous act.
“Then just make him lay more, right?”
“Then you’ll just eat them again.”
“Yeah. We’re short on food, so we have to eat everything we can now.”
“Are you… are you heartless?”
Then a piece of boiled egg slipped into my mouth. It was Captain Gong Ju Won’s doing.
Captain Gong Ju Won put what was left after giving me some into his mouth in one bite.
“Please try some too, Jelly-nim. It’s delicious.”
He laid them himself and now he’s acting like a savage.
Munch munch.
“You guys are really cold-blooded.”
The boiled egg I ate after a long time was annoyingly delicious.
[You have resolved an Earth native’s worry and gained favorability.]
[Reward]
-Cosmic Coins +5,000
The Cosmic Coin reward was delicious too…
After eating plenty of egg dishes, Chae Heon and Captain Gong Ju Won went out hunting to find food.
I went into the spaceship with one egg I received as consolation.
Older Brother patted me consolingly. While having egg all over his mouth.
When I wiped off what was on his mouth, Older Brother washed his face with his tentacles like a cat.
Having resolved two worries, what remained now was…
>Do Gyeol’s worry
-£]%|new region ,^]*+exploration ＄^]¥
I stared intently at Older Brother and asked.
“Older Brother, do you want to go out to other regions?”
At my sudden question, Older Brother flinched and stiffened.
“Do you want to go home by any chance?”
Older Brother shook his head.
“Then why do you want to go somewhere else?”
The pitch-black jellyfish blinked his eyes. He seemed curious about how I knew his thoughts.
I looked at Older Brother like that and pressed him.
“Hm? Why are you like that? Where do you want to go?”
Then Older Brother wriggled around and brought out the keyring doll that had been carefully kept inside the spaceship. It was Kwon Bora’s keyring doll that Ain had given us at the hospital.
What does this mean?
I pondered for a moment, then asked cautiously.
“Do you miss Kwon Bora?”
Older Brother tilted his head thoughtfully.
He did miss Kwon Bora, but his expression suggested it wasn’t simply that he missed her. (Again, I can read octopus expressions.)
Wait, could it be…?
I bolted upright.
“Don’t tell me you know where Kwon Bora is?!”
The jellyfish octopus’s eyes lit up and he nodded vigorously.
‘My goodness!’
I came down to the courtyard, picked up a tree branch, and roughly drew a map.
“Where? Mark it here for me.”
I placed Older Brother on the map, but he just shook his head.
“Huh? Why?”
Then Older Brother suddenly started wriggling somewhere.
‘The warehouse?’
I watched blankly for a moment, then followed him into the warehouse.
Inside the dark and damp warehouse.
The mixed smell of dust and rusted metal made my nose tingle with every breath.
In the middle of it all, Older Brother was moving around busily by himself.
“Older Brother, what are you doing?”
The small jellyfish octopus was clinging to a large box, struggling to pull at the cloth covering it.
“…?”
I immediately ran over and helped Older Brother pull the cloth.
Then the cloth tumbled forward.
Swoosh-
Everything went dark. I flailed around and pulled down the cloth that had wrapped around me.
Soon, in my cleared vision, I could see a cardboard box with a TV placed on top of it.
On the front of the cardboard box was a rectangular sticker with writing I’d never seen before.
It looked like a combination of special characters, but strangely, I could read it.
[Dormant state…]
Dormant state?
Then, the squiggly text moved in real time.
[Life signs detected…]
“…?”
At the same time, light spread out from the TV that had been turned off.
The projected light swept over me from head to toe as if scanning me.
[Life signal discovered.]
[Deactivating dormant state.]
