The Jelly Alien Will Save You!
Episode 41
[Company Rules]
1. Entry to areas outside your rank is prohibited
2. Promotions must be proven through performance
3. Unauthorized movement will result in maze processing
Gulp.
The 2nd Floor had meeting rooms so we could pass through, but from the 3rd Floor onward, each department was positioned floor by floor.
“We’re going for now, but…”
Chae Heon pressed the 3rd Floor button and looked back at me.
“…What are you really planning to do?”
The 3rd Floor was labeled ‘Security Team.’
“What happens if we go outside the elevator and enter the department?”
“You’d end up working as an employee.”
“Then we just don’t go in at all, right?”
“What?”
Just then, the elevator arrived at the 3rd Floor.
Ding-
Swoosh-
When the doors opened, the entire floor was made up of the Security Team.
I could see people working with haggard expressions in the department.
Perhaps because it was the Security Team, all the employees had a bizarre appearance with padlocks attached to their heads. And all the padlocks were closed.
I boldly stepped forward only to the front of the elevator doors.
I could feel Chae Heon and Captain Gong Ju Won watching me with anxious faces.
“Get ready to run.”
When I whispered quietly, Chae Heon and Captain Gong Ju Won each grabbed one of my hands.
After feeling a bit relieved, I shouted loudly enough to echo throughout the department.
“All the customers’ personal information just got hacked!”
“…What?”
“What did you just say?!”
Click. Click.
The employees’ closed padlocks began opening in a chain reaction.
“That’s a lie!”
“Kraaaah!”
I delivered the finishing blow to the padlocks writhing in agony.
“Got hacked by a middle schooler, right? The CEO’s gonna have to make a public apology to the nation, right?”
“Kraaaaaaah!”
“Kuaaaaaaaaaah!”
“Please, anyone but a middle schooler…!”
The effect was dramatic.
The employees with padlocks began burning black.
I rapidly pressed the elevator’s close button.
Tap-tap-tap-tap!
Swoosh-
The doors closed.
“One down.”
“…”
“…”
Silence filled the elevator.
The 3rd Floor Security Team indicator in the elevator turned gray.
Chae Heon was the first to speak.
“When you said you’d destroy them…”
“Yeah, I’m going to destroy all the departments.”
As a hardcore user of 【Sparkle Sparkle! Planet Mon!】, I knew all the weaknesses of game company departments.
I nodded at Chae Heon.
“Next.”
4th Floor Human Resources.
“The politician’s son who got a 0 on the interview was a predetermined hire, right?”
“Kraaaah!”
“It wasn’t… our intention…!”
5th Floor Management.
“Got caught manipulating probability items so you have to refund everything, right?”
“It was just a business strategy to enhance the game’s fun…!”
“Kraaaaaaah!”
6th Floor PR.
“The promotional model evaded 50 billion in taxes, right?!”
“Kraaaah!”
7th Floor Design.
“Gender issues!”
“Kuaaaah!”
With just one word, the office was left in ruins.
.
.
.
Swoosh-
The elevator doors closed.
“Phew…”
Having destroyed another department, I wiped my sweat. My throat was hoarse from all the shouting.
All the floor numbers that had been glowing in the elevator had turned gray.
Except for one place.
That place was-
‘CEO’s Office.’
Now if we just go through the CEO’s Office, we can reach the rooftop.
“Chae Heon, what about the CEO’s Office? If you go into the CEO’s Office, do you become the CEO?”
“That’s impossible.”
“Then this time I’d be an employee too?”
“Since you’ve devastated all the departments, you probably can’t become an employee…”
Chae Heon also had a face that said he didn’t know what would happen.
‘I guess we’ll only know by going in.’
I firmly grasped Chae Heon and Captain Gong Ju Won’s hands.
“This time we really need to make a good escape.”
“Understood.”
Captain Gong Ju Won nodded with a tense expression.
Ding-
Swoosh-
When the elevator doors opened, the atmosphere was different.
The CEO’s Office was quieter than expected.
Unlike the other floors, there were no typing sounds or whispers between employees.
One desk.
One chair.
And one person sitting behind.
No, something that looked like a person.
Though neatly dressed in a suit, it wasn’t human.
The CEO’s face was divided into those of the major departments I had destroyed earlier. It looked like a Cerberus with five heads.
“You can come in. This place is different from the other departments.”
The CEO wiggled his finger.
When I rolled my eyes around, Chae Heon nodded.
The three of us stepped inside.
“You’ve completely ruined my company.”
“That’s right. How about taking responsibility and stepping down now?”
At my attack, the CEO’s lips curled up slightly, and each head spoke.
“That’s each department’s problem.”
“I didn’t make the decision.”
“There’s no way it’s my responsibility.”
As expected.
It was the answer I had anticipated.
The CEO continued calmly.
“The CEO position isn’t about taking responsibility.”
“It’s just a coordinating position.”
“Responsibility should be clearly defined, shouldn’t it?”
I thought for a moment and nodded.
I could feel Captain Gong Ju Won whispering, “Should we run?”
But I shook my head and looked straight at the CEO as I spoke.
“So you’re saying you have no responsibility at all?”
“Of course.”
I paused for a moment. How could someone be so perfectly CEO-like?
“Then should I ask the shareholders?”
Suddenly, the CEO’s pupils trembled slightly.
“What?”
“Can I post an announcement under the CEO’s name?”
Silence.
The CEO’s faces froze for a moment.
“What?”
“An apology statement.”
I added innocently.
“Under the CEO’s sole name.”
“That’s-”
The CEO’s voice cracked for the first time.
“That’s the organization’s judgment-”
“No.”
I shook my head.
“You gave the final approval.”
At that moment.
The approval stamps on the CEO’s desk began stamping frantically.
Thud-! Thud-! Thud-!
Documents scattered everywhere around the CEO’s office.
At the top of every document was the same name stamped.
Trust Games CEO
Kim Taek-kwon
“That can’t be…”
“I am…”
“The CEO position isn’t about taking responsibility…!”
The faces that had been trying to scatter like fleeing turned bright red.
“The CEO-!”
Those words couldn’t be finished.
Black smoke leaked from the CEO’s mouth.
Documents burst into flames, and the approval stamps shattered to pieces.
“Stop, stop it!”
“Compensation! I’ll give you proper compensation!”
“Right! I’ll distribute CEO authority coupons!”
“That’s right! We can just distribute coupons!”
Compensation? I blinked and asked.
“CEO authority coupons?”
“Yes, I’ll give you CEO authority coupons that can be used for any skin.”
“From the most expensive skins to last season’s limited skins!”
“It’s a choice that involves tremendous sales losses. How about it?”
Thud.
I heard the sound of my heart dropping.
The most expensive skin.
That was the human skin.
If I wore that… I could leave the Contaminated Area.
I could blend in among people.
“Human skin…”
A murmur unconsciously escaped from my lips.
Then the CEO’s faces all flashed simultaneously and smiles appeared.
“That’s right.”
“All skins.”
“Human skin? You can definitely have it.”
A coupon appeared sparkling in the air. The CEO grabbed it and held it out.
My gaze couldn’t leave the coupon.
It was the coupon I had longed for so much. If I just had that… if I became human…
Then, something warm and smooth gripped my wrist.
It was Older Brother’s tentacle, sitting on my head.
“…!”
Only then did I come to my senses.
‘I need to go to the rooftop.’
Older Sister Bora is there.
Even if I have to live as a Jelly Alien for the rest of my life, it doesn’t matter. Because I have someone I want to save!
