The Jelly Alien Will Save You!
Episode 44
“Jeong Hwa!”
It felt like the awl piercing through her mind was gradually shrinking. Her blurry vision became a little brighter.
What was holding her hand was a round jelly with long ears. The jelly’s round eyes were brimming with worry.
“…Do Dam.”
Bora kept blinking her drooping eyes. But aside from being surprised, she felt like she would fall asleep at any moment.
She cupped the jelly’s face with both hands.
The more she touched the jelly, the more refreshing sensation swirled around her. It felt like fog was lifting from her head.
“Do Dam…”
“Older Sister…”
Ping, tears formed in the jelly’s eyes.
At that sight, Bora smiled a little.
“…You’ve become so cute…”
And then it was blackout, like a fuse had blown.
* * *
“…?”
Older Sister?
I opened and closed my mouth with a dumbfounded expression.
As Kwon Bora’s body tilted over, Older Brother caught her in his arms.
I looked up at Older Sister with concern.
Then my eyes met with Older Brother who was looking at me.
His gentle eyes curved into circles.
“It’s okay. She just fainted for a moment.”
Older Brother spoke calmly and stroked my face with the back of his hand.
“Why is our princess’s face so black? A crow would want to be friends with you.”
“…!”
I brushed my face with both hands. It seemed like dust from Chae Heon and Older Sister’s earlier battle had gotten all over my face.
Older Brother chuckled softly and looked around while holding Kwon Bora.
On the rooftop where broken debris was swirling, Chae Heon and Captain Gong Ju Won stood there dumbly, as if they had lost their words.
I belatedly realized their presence and gasped.
It was natural that they had lost their words.
The jellyfish octopus I had been taking around had become a person.
And not just anyone either…
“How is the Queisa Guild Leader…?”
Captain Gong Ju Won muttered.
That’s right. Older Brother was Do Gyeol, the Guild Leader of Queisa.
Someone that no Korean could possibly not know.
And Chae Heon was…
“You look like you have a lot to say.”
When Older Brother calmly opened his mouth, Chae Heon shot forward like light and grabbed Older Brother by the collar.
“You’re saying you’re Guild Leader Do Gyeol?”
His low voice spoke with a growling tone.
“…!”
As it looked like Chae Heon might hit Older Brother at any moment, I grabbed Older Brother’s pant leg and squeezed my eyes shut.
“It’s been a while, Heon.”
“…?!”
At Older Brother’s nonchalant tone, I slowly opened my eyes. Were they not going to fight?
Older Brother smiled gently and patted my head soothingly.
“Could you let go for now? You’re scaring Do Dam.”
“Do Dam…”
When Chae Heon looked down at me, I glared at him with triangular eyes.
Then Chae Heon’s shoulders flinched.
“Let go of Older Brother!”
At my sharp cry, the strength left Chae Heon’s hands.
Older Brother laughed and said,
“Shall we go home for now?”
* * *
Gong Ju Won watched Do Gyeol’s retreating figure with a dumbfounded expression, then ruffled his own hair.
Had even his own head become contaminated? He felt like he wasn’t in his right mind.
Queisa was the guild representing Korea that Guild Leader Do Gyeol had created by gathering all the S-ranks.
Of course, that was before they were all declared ‘dead’ due to the dungeon break in Yongsan.
Then, Gyeol, who was holding Bora, turned around.
“Where should I put Bora? It looks like she needs to sleep.”
“Ah, please lay her down in my room.”
After laying the still unconscious Kwon Bora in Gong Ju Won’s room, everyone gathered in Chae Heon’s room.
Four people- no, three people and one alien sat in a circle.
“…”
“…”
“…”
While everyone was lost in their respective thoughts in silence, Do Gyeol, who was smiling brightly, spoke first.
“Everyone must be very surprised that an octopus became a person?”
“We’re surprised that you’re alive!”
“…Are you really an idiot?”
Gong Ju Won stood up and shouted loudly, while Heon, with his arms crossed, muttered blankly.
“Ahaha, please calm down.”
Do Gyeol laughed carelessly and calmed the group.
Then Gong Ju Won asked with a quite serious expression.
“May I ask what happened? How did you survive…?”
Do Gyeol tilted his head and stroked his chin.
“I thought I was definitely dead too.”
The monster in Yongsan Dungeon wasn’t a single entity.
Everyone groaned at the sight of countless monster swarms covering the sky and ground.
Many were terrified and wanted to run away, but everyone in Queisa gripped their weapons.
If they retreated now, there would surely be enormous casualties.
Perhaps the fate of the country rested in their hands.
They had no real choice.
“Let’s go.”
Do Gyeol led the way, and Queisa followed.
They fought and advanced in a trance.
Even when arms were blown off and abdomens were pierced, they had no choice but to grit their teeth and advance.
Remembering that their loved ones were out there beyond.
And when he felt like even his head had been blown off.
He saw light.
It soon went dark like a TV being turned off.
And when he opened his eyes again, crushed by the bright light, he had become completely contaminated and turned into a giant mutant.
“That’s about all I remember.”
Do Gyeol spoke lightly while waving both hands back and forth.
Then Do Dam crawled over to his side and buried her face in his thigh. His thigh quickly became damp.
He gently stroked his younger sister’s soft, squishy body with affectionate hands.
“Then Yupark’s Xion was really…”
“Yes, that was me.”
Despite Do Gyeol’s light answer, the atmosphere became solemn.
Gyeol spoke to Hae-eon before the silence could drag on.
“Hae-eon, if you have any questions, ask them quickly. We don’t have much time.”
“Time? Why don’t we have time?”
At Hae-eon’s question, Gyeol’s eyebrows drooped.
“The human skin is temporary.”
“What?!”
Dam jerked his head up in surprise. The face pattern remained intact on his thigh.
Seeing this, Gyeol chuckled softly and said regretfully.
“The skin has a time limit. 5 hours.”
Sparks flew from Dam’s eyes.
Kim Taek-kwon, you bastard! I should have noticed when you called it a CEO authority coupon!
This anomaly was truly mimicking the CEO perfectly, acting exactly like the game company’s CEO.
Gyeol petted Dam as he rolled around in frustration, then made eye contact with Hae-eon.
Their gazes met.
Hae-eon and Gyeol had known each other from before. Since before entering Yongsan, they had become acquainted through joint civilian-military training.
“Hae-eon. How did you get out of Yongsan Dungeon?”
“…”
Hae-eon, who had been silent for a while, shrugged lightly.
“I just opened my eyes and found myself here too.”
“That’s all?”
“Yes.”
A brief silence hung between them.
“Should we talk alone for a moment?”
“Let’s do that.”
When Do Gyeol stood up, Hae-eon followed.
Gyeol whispered softly to Dam, who was blinking blankly.
“Older Brother, I’ll be right back.”
Dam nodded with a face that showed he was disappointed but understanding.
The moment Do Gyeol and Hae-eon went outside and entered the kitchen.
Bang-!
Do Gyeol grabbed Hae-eon by the collar and slammed him hard against the wall.
“Hae-eon… or should I call you Lieutenant Colonel Cha now?”
“Yes, Guild Leader Do.”
“How should I interpret this?”
“I don’t know what you’re talking about.”
“I’m asking what your true identity is.”
