The Jelly Alien Will Save You!

 

Episode 46

 

Chae Heon locked eyes with the round-eyed jelly that was looking at him.

 

Well, none of that mattered anymore anyway.

 

Ever since falling into the Contaminated Area, he had folded away all such feelings.

 

It was different from back then, when he couldn’t bring himself to knock for fear of blushing.

 

“Are you contaminated?”

 

“My contamination level is 0, so I don’t think I’m contaminated. I just opened my eyes and found myself like this.”

 

Now conversation came so easily.

 

“Still, why don’t you keep trying purification? You might be able to turn back into a human.”

 

“No, there might be another way…”

 

“Another way?”

 

“There could be…”

 

As Do Dam trailed off, Chae Heon nodded as if he understood.

 

He had already crumpled up and discarded his puppy love long ago.

 

What he felt now was merely surprise at the current situation.

 

‘Besides, she looks like this now.’

 

The other party was a self-proclaimed alien, no less.

 

Of course she was cute, but there was absolutely no way such feelings would bloom again.

 

Slap!

 

Just then, the jellyfish octopus’s tentacle smacked Chae Heon’s face.

 

“Sorry.”

 

“It’s fine.”

 

Well, Do Gyeol had always been a sister-obsessed fool.

 

There was no need to be wary anymore. Chae Heon shrugged his shoulders and entered the room.

The next day.

 

Stomp stomp stomp stomp!

 

I began my vigorous exercise routine.

 

Before long, Chae Heon came outside with a deeply furrowed brow.

 

“Can’t you wear those dog shoes when you exercise?!”

 

“I’m not wearing them because you call them dog shoes!”

 

I shouted back.

 

For reference, the “dog shoes” referred to the fur slippers I had bought with a huge amount of coins, and wearing them would eliminate the stomping sounds.

 

Chae Heon had been quite fond of them, but seeing his reaction had somehow twisted my mood, so I hadn’t worn the fur slippers since then.

 

‘Let’s see if I’ll wear them until you properly call them fur slippers.’

 

Hmph!

 

Last night, I deliberately didn’t tell Chae Heon about being able to buy human skin.

 

It was to surprise him by revealing that all those countless hours I spent earning money were for this purpose.

 

To do that, I needed to collect coins. As soon as possible…

 

That’s when it happened.

 

Crack!

 

With the sound of wood splitting, the door went flying.

 

Eek!

 

A whale’s tail poked out from the room with the shattered door. It seemed Older Sister Bora had woken up.

 

“Why are you only showing up now!”

 

Older Sister Bora’s half-sobbing voice could be heard.

 

Older Sister Bora repeatedly grabbed the jellyfish octopus by the scruff and shook him while shedding tears.

 

“~~!”

 

Older Brother gasped and wheezed as if suffocating, tapping Older Sister Bora’s hand.

 

Captain Gong Ju Won, who seemed to have explained the situation to Older Sister Bora, couldn’t bring himself to stop her and was floundering helplessly.

 

“Hunter Kwon Bora, if you grab him like that, the octopus- I mean, Guild Leader Do won’t be able to breathe…”

 

“Why did you appear as an octopus after just one day!”

 

“~~~!”

 

As he was grabbed by Older Sister Bora’s hands and shaken again, Older Brother’s eyes rolled around in circles.

 

‘Older Brother gets grabbed by the scruff a lot…’

 

Stomp stomp stomp…

 

“Uh, Older Sister…”

 

Taking a few steps closer, I mustered the courage to call out to her.

 

Instantly, Older Sister Bora’s head whipped around toward me.

 

I flinched.

 

She remembers everything, right? If I get hit by that whale tail, it’s game over…

 

“Sob! Do Dam?”

 

Fortunately, Older Sister remembered me.

 

“Older Sister…!”

 

Stomp stomp stomp stomp!

 

As I approached Older Sister, Older Sister Bora pulled me into a tight embrace.

 

Then she began crying her heart out.

 

“Waaaaaaah! Waah!”

 

“Older Sister, don’t cry.”

 

“Do Dam, how did this happen to you…! Waaaah! Of course, sob! You’re incredibly cute and adorable but… sob!”

 

Am I really that cute?

 

I patted Older Sister’s back while smiling a little.

 

Older Sister was crying and wailing, I was smiling, Captain Gong Ju Won was floundering, and Chae Heon was… being Chae Heon.

 

Chae Heon alone stood there perfectly fine, watching the tearful reunion.

 

I thought I should calm this situation down at this point.

 

“Older Sister, aren’t you hungry? Let’s eat first.”

 

“Food?”

 

“Yeah, food.”

 

At the word ‘food,’ Older Brother and I reflexively looked at Chae Heon.

 

Then Older Sister Bora also turned her gaze toward Chae Heon, not understanding why.

 

“…?”

 

Suddenly receiving everyone’s attention, Chae Heon shouted irritably.

 

“You gluttons! All of you get out!”

 

* * *

 

A bonfire was lit in the courtyard.

 

On top of it was a grill I had made with my decoration ability.

 

When the grill heated up properly, Chae Heon held out his hand to me.

 

I wriggled and handed over the skewers with meat threaded on them.

 

With Older Brother, Captain Gong Ju Won, and me making skewers together, we quickly had enough for everyone to eat. (We kept Older Sister Bora away from the food since she kept crying and sniffling.)

 

But!

 

Wait a moment here.

 

I think it’s about time to introduce my new face.

 

Chae Heon must have noticed too. The fact that new crops were growing in the farmfield that used to have only cherry tomatoes and green onions.

 

And that was…

 

“What’s this?”

 

“Mushrooms!”

 

I proudly handed Chae Heon a mushroom skewer.

 

“Mushrooms? They look weird though.”

 

Chae Heon’s reaction was quite lukewarm. As expected, I can’t surprise him with something like this.

 

Captain Gong Ju Won was startled when I said I was growing mushrooms and gave me double thumbs up.

 

“Isn’t that a poisonous mushroom?”

 

Chae Heon frowned as he examined the star-shaped mushroom skewered on a stick from various angles.

 

“Tsk tsk tsk.”

 

I clicked my tongue while waving my chubby finger left and right.

 

“There are various plant life forms living in space that you don’t know about. This is called a ‘space mushroom.’ It’s even C-grade.”

 

“You might get sick from eating it.”

 

I pouted.

 

“You ate the space spirit eggs just fine.”

 

And quite brutally, crunching away.

 

“Those were eggs, and this is a mushroom.”

 

Sizzle-

 

The star-shaped space mushroom skewer went onto the grill.

 

Thump thump. I fanned from the side while waiting for the mushroom to cook.

 

Water began to pool inside the golden-brown grilling mushroom.

 

“Oh.”

 

That’s the delicacy right there.

 

I was looking at the mushroom while licking my lips, when I felt Chae Heon’s gaze staring down at me intently. Was he that worried I might get sick?

 

Just as I was about to make eye contact with Chae Heon.

 

Older Brother squeezed between us. Then he pushed us apart to either side with his tentacles.

 

“…?”

 

“…?”
