The Jelly Alien Will Save You!
Episode 40
* * *
A fierce wind blew across the rooftop, but at some point, she stopped feeling the cold.
After being consumed by contamination, Kwon Bora had gained many such inexplicable things.
At some point, she became unable to retract her tail.
At some point, the time she spent as a whale grew longer.
At some point, she began losing more and more memories of the Guild Members.
‘That can’t happen…’
That’s the one thing that can’t happen…
She blinked her eyes slowly.
Suddenly, an irresistible drowsiness consumed her body.
Kwon Bora curled her half-bent body with her tail and fell asleep just like that.
A moment later.
Hiss- Hiss-
The sound of breathing approached her side.
Yellow Hazmat Suit closed the valve of the anesthetic gas.
Hiss- Hiss-
He took photos of the sleeping Kwon Bora and picked up a recorder.
“YS-02. Condition stable. Xion transformation time is 10 hours and 21 minutes, 11 minutes longer than the last transformation.”
Hiss-
“She now appears unable to humanize her tail, indicating the contamination has progressed further.”
He took out a tablet and input several values.
Heart rate, body temperature, remaining humanization ratio.
[Humanization Retention Rate: 27%]
“The humanization retention rate continues to decline steadily over time.”
Eventually, Yellow Hazmat Suit turned off the recorder and cleared away the food placed in front of the dolls.
That way, when she woke up tomorrow, the Guild Members would mistakenly think they had cleanly eaten the food he brought.
She must not yet realize that the Guild Members are actually all just dolls.
Because rampage would destabilize the readings.
Stable contamination and controlled erosion. That was what they wanted from Kwon Bora.

I tried to fly straight to Older Sister’s side in my spaceship.
Right up until I crashed into the door while flying out of the warehouse.
“Where are you going?”
Chae Heon, who was coming back holding something halfway between a chicken and duck, asked.
“…I don’t know either.”
I answered while half-sobbing.
I felt pathetic for crashing into a door when I didn’t even know where I was going.
I sniffled and tried to recall my memories.
“It was like a company building. A building made entirely of glass with ‘RUST GAM’ written on it, but the rest had collapsed so I couldn’t see… And… and…”
“Got it.”
Chae Heon spoke soothingly as he plucked me out of the spaceship like pulling a radish and lifted me up.
He also shook out the spaceship properly to set it right, then put me back inside.
“You mean you’re going to the Trust Games building?”
“You know where it is?!”
“Yeah.”
Chae Heon said leisurely while untying his walker’s shoelaces.
“Tell me where it is. I have to go there. Because, because…”
But the words never came. I couldn’t explain the reason to him.
That’s when it happened.
“You won’t be able to go though?”
Chae Heon stated matter-of-factly, as if he didn’t need to hear my reason.
“Why?!”
When I asked in a shrill voice, he shrugged his shoulders and said,
“That company only lets you go up if you get promoted. If you can’t get promoted, you can’t even leave work until you die, and you have to work as an intern forever.”
“What?!”
“That’s Trust Games’ rule.”
“Even to go to the rooftop?”
“To get to the rooftop, you’d have to at least reach the CEO’s office.”
“What kind of rule is that…?”
I rolled my head with a face full of despair.
“Can’t I go up the emergency staircase instead of going up through the building?”
“You can if you want to be trapped in an eternal maze.”
“I… don’t want that…”
Chae Heon patted my head once, pressing down gently.
Then he held out the mutant.
“…”
I pouted and purified it.
The strangely-shaped mutant became a duck, and a seed dropped to the floor with a plop.
Chae Heon grabbed the duck by the neck and went into the kitchen, saying,
“Why don’t you patiently find a way to get promoted or something.”
Easy for him to say when it’s not his problem!
Older Brother must have been angry at Chae Heon too, because he bounced up and down in place.
I hugged Older Brother and looked up the building where Trust Games was located on the map.
It’s not marked as a boss. So does that mean it’s just an anomaly?
‘Trust Games…’
Trust Games was the developer and distributor of 【Cute Cute! Planet Mon!】.
So I knew a little about that place, but…
That didn’t mean I could get promoted all the way to the CEO’s office.
‘You can only go up if you get promoted…’
I thought about the anomalies I had resolved so far.
Most of them involved either following rules or breaking rules.
‘Breaking…’
Break. Smash. Render unusable. Tear down.
“…!”
I jumped up from my seat.
An idea worth trying had occurred to me.
Just then, Captain Gong Ju Won, who had finished hunting, was opening the gate and coming in.
I shouted at him with blazing eyes.
“I’m going to destroy it!”
“Excuse me? You mean me?”
Captain Gong Ju Won’s eyes wavered.
“No! Trust Games!”
Having heard that, Chae Heon came outside holding the half-plucked duck.
As I clenched both fists while burning with determination, Chae Heon said mockingly,
“You’re going to destroy it with those fists?”
“Ha!”
I snorted.
Just what do you take me for?
“Absolutely can’t do it!”
How could I possibly smash a building with these soft, squishy fists?
But I confidently placed my hands on my hips.
“I’m going to try destroying the anomaly there.”
So.
“If I fail, we’ll need to run away immediately, so both of you follow me. You two will have to grab me and escape together.”
At my boldness, Chae Heon seemed at a loss for words and let out a sigh, while Captain Gong Ju Won blinked his eyes, asking “Me too?”
* * *
“Beep-”
The bus dropped us off and departed.
The three of us looked at the building right in front of the bus stop.
The Trust Games building looked like it was about to collapse at any moment.
[RUST GAM]
If you squinted and looked carefully at the logo, you could barely make out the T at the beginning.
“Are you really planning to go inside?”
“Yeah.”
As soon as we entered the building, I felt like we were stepping through something squishy made of mucus. It was a sensation I’d grown accustomed to by now.
Once we went inside, automatic doors slid open smoothly right in front of us.
The first thing we saw was an empty lobby.
Captain Gong Ju Won and I were completely tense, rolling our eyes around nervously.
Gong Ju Won was the first to tiptoe and move carefully.
“Captain Gong. Why are you so scared?”
“This is an area we’ve never investigated before, so we have no data…”
“Chae Heon said it’s no big deal.”
“I did?”
Chae Heon made an incredulous expression, but I stuck right next to him and scolded Captain Gong Ju Won for his timidity.
“How are you going to properly serve in the military with that kind of attitude?”
Captain Gong Ju Won looked a bit dejected as he said,
“I’m sorry. I’ll correct it.”
“That’s right. Cheer up.”
After nodding at him, I grabbed Chae Heon’s pant leg and shook it. It meant to hurry up and move.
Chae Heon looked down at me with an expression full of things he wanted to say, then let out a “huff” and walked toward the elevator.
Ding-
The elevator immediately slid its doors open as if it had been waiting for us.
I hugged Older Brother tightly in my arms and examined the inside.
On one wall, company rules were posted in large letters.
[Company Rules]
1. Entry to areas outside your rank is prohibited
2. Promotion must be proven through performance
3. Unauthorized movement will result in maze processing
