The Jelly Alien Will Save You!

 

Episode 47

 

The moment Chae Heon and I had question marks above our heads, Older Brother picked up a mushroom skewer.

 

Then he blew on the mushroom skewer to cool it down before handing it to me.

 

Instantly, everyone’s gaze focused on me. Their faces said ‘Is it really okay to eat that?’

 

Ha! These Earthlings.

 

I opened my mouth wide as if to show off and chomped down on the mushroom.

 

Munch munch.

 

“Isn’t it hot?”

 

“Nope.”

 

At Kwon Bora’s question, I nodded while chewing the chewy mushroom.

 

“You don’t feel nauseous or anything?”

 

Next was Gong Ju Won. When he asked with a face full of worry, I held out the skewer. My eyes sparkled with vitality.

 

“This is super delicious…!”

 

“What does it taste like?”

 

“Heavenly taste! It’s really amazing!”

 

“Really?”

 

“You trust me, right?”

 

Then Gong Ju Won, who had been hesitating, also picked up a skewer and quickly popped a mushroom into his mouth.

 

“Ooh!”

 

“It’s delicious! Delicious, right?”

 

“It really is delicious! To think you could grow mushrooms like this, you’re truly amazing!”

 

“Ahahaha!”

 

At Gong Ju Won’s shower of praise, I laughed and swayed my body.

 

Then Older Brother rolled his eyes.

 

His expression seemed to say ‘Is it not this mushroom that’s the problem but that idiot over there?’

 

“…?”

 

At that moment, Kwon Bora, who suffered from the disease of unstoppable tears, approached sniffling, saying she wanted to try some too.

 

I handed a mushroom to Older Sister as well.

 

“Sniff! This is really delicious!”

 

“Good. Let’s grill more, let’s grill more.”

 

“I’ll go pick some!”

 

“Then I’ll wash them. Sniff!”

 

After we all grilled and ate skewers like a mountain together.

 

Hugging Older Brother and patting my belly, I asked Kwon Bora.

 

“What happened to you, Older Sister?”

 

Interrogation time had begun.

 

The story that Kwon Bora told afterward wasn’t much different from what Older Brother had told me.

 

She had been frantically clearing monsters in Yongsan Dungeon when her memory cut off.

 

“I saw the light too… It seemed to be divided into several layers…”

 

Older Sister frowned as she said this, then soon shook her head. It meant she couldn’t remember anything more.

 

“What about after you became Xion?”

 

“My memories are patchy. After being contaminated, it was hazy like my head was full of dust, and… I kept hearing a voice with static. When I did regain consciousness, just maintaining human form was difficult enough that I had no energy to do anything else. Still, since I couldn’t protect everyone in Yongsan Dungeon, this time I wanted to protect everyone…”

 

Kwon Bora’s eyes became hazy as she spoke blankly.

 

She seemed to be reminiscing about when she cared for the dolls thinking they were guild members.

 

I slipped into Older Sister’s embrace. When I used my purification power, Older Sister’s expression became much more peaceful.

 

Older Sister hugged me and buried her face in my hair.

 

“I don’t remember when my head was this clear. It’s so refreshing…”

 

Older Sister seemed really happy as she held me close and took a deep breath.

 

Older Brother patted Kwon Bora’s shoulder. As if to say everything was okay now.

 

Then tears leaked from Older Sister.

 

“Sob! Waaaaaah!”

 

Kwon Bora, who burst into tears again, held me tightly and kept repeating over and over.

 

“Thank you for staying alive, sniff! Thank you for finding me, really…! If everyone had really died, I would have… sob!”

 

I hugged back Older Sister who was gasping for breath.

 

“That’s what I wanted to say, Older Sister. Thank you for staying alive.”

 

We talked for a long time, crying and laughing.

 

By the time Older Sister and I had calmed down, the sun was already setting.

 

* * *

 

We gained a new family member.

 

We gained new crops too!

 

Someone grumbled about having another mouth to feed, but for me it was just double good fortune.

 

‘It’s good that there are many spare rooms in the house.’

 

After dinner, I lay down in the spaceship and smiled wickedly.

 

Hehehe.

 

Now that the joyful reunion was over, should I do what I need to do?

 

Swoosh-

 

The survival handbook opened.

 

Now it was time for.

 

‘Vending machine collection time!’

 

Now that I’d found Older Brother and Older Sister, my desire to escape from the contaminated zone grew stronger each day. To do that, I needed to earn steadily!

 

I pressed the golden coin floating above the vending machine.

 

[Accumulated 5,000 coins achieved!]

 

[Cosmic Universal Vending Machine can be upgraded to Lv.3.]

 

Yay!

 

Yes. This is it, this is it.

 

I had been disappointed that the vending machine hadn’t updated even though my current coins exceeded ten thousand.

 

It seemed only vending machine sales revenue was reflected in vending machine updates.

 

But what could a Level 3 vending machine do?

 

[Available items for order increase due to accumulated coin growth.]

 

Finally!

 

[Available items for order: (0/1)]

 

-Purified Water (1cc each): Purified water. Can purify contamination to some extent.

 

-Galaxy Canned Food (1cc each): Emergency rations easily obtainable in the galaxy. Satiety lasts long when consumed.

 

-Juice Can (1cc each): A magic can that processes anything put into it into juice. Freshness is maintained when stored in the can.

 

-Earth-style Instant Ramen (5cc each): An Earth delicacy. Can become stronger temporarily when consumed.

 

I opened my mouth seeing the available lineup for ordering.

 

Suddenly I remembered secretly cooking ramen with Older Brother at the hospital.

 

Just imagining slurping ramen noodles made my mouth water.

 

Maybe what I really wanted wasn’t instant rice but ramen?

 

I licked my lips.

 

Ramen eaten in a contaminated zone would definitely taste heavenly.

 

I was confident it would be a huge hit if sold…

 

‘Ah…?!’

 

Suddenly one problem occurred to me.

 

Even if I ordered this, only we could eat it at our house!

 

Unless they had a burner and pot, other people wouldn’t be able to cook instant ramen.

 

A bit disappointing.

 

But at least we can eat it at our house.

 

As I was consoling my disappointed heart and ordering a few ramen for us to eat.

 

[You can unlock vending machine expansion options (0/1)]

 

-Additional vending machine installation +1

 

-New product registration +1

 

-Auto cooking (rare)

 

The first two options hadn’t changed, but a new rare choice had appeared!

 

‘Auto cooking?’

 

I tilted my head curiously and clicked on the information.

 

[Auto cooking]

 

If there are cookable menu items among your possessed items, you can sell them in a freshly cooked state.

 

‘Whoa…?’

 

A menu appeared next.

 

[Auto cooking available menu]

 

-Boiled ramen (water + ramen + egg + green onion)

 

-Boiled egg (water + egg)

 

I covered my mouth with both hands. It was because intense emotion was welling up inside me.

 

‘I can sell Han River ramen in this ruined Yongsan?’
