The Jelly Alien Will Save You!

 

Episode 49

 

* * *

 

“We’re running low on eggs.”

 

That was the first thing Chae Heon said when he woke up in the morning.

 

Of course we were short on eggs. We were using eggs as ramen toppings…!

 

But I pretended not to know and just kicked an innocent pebble with my toes.

 

I couldn’t let him find out that I’d been selling eggs after crying and begging to raise chickens just a few days ago.

 

While I desperately pretended not to know, Chae Heon stared intently at Captain Gong Ju Won.

 

More precisely, his expression was saying this:

 

Hurry up and produce some eggs.

 

“…”

 

Seeing that, I felt sorry for Captain Gong Ju Won who had to lay eggs with his left hand.

 

For Captain Gong Ju Won’s sake, we needed another method.

 

And what I came up with was…

 

‘Galaxy canned goods purchase! Purchase! Purchase! Massive purchase!’

 

…canned goods gambling.

 

Galaxy canned goods had one special feature.

 

*Low probability of containing living Space Spirits.

 

That’s right. Through canned goods gambling, I could obtain living Space Spirits!

 

I lined up all the canned goods I had bought in front of me.

 

“Captain Gong, just trust me.”

 

“Huh?”

 

“I’ll make it so you can focus solely on purifying your left arm.”

 

“Huh?”

 

I was planning to create a farm with living Space Spirits.

 

The method was simple.

 

1. Buy lots of galaxy canned goods.

 

2. Open the cans.

 

3. Release the living Space Spirits into the chicken coop.

 

Farm complete!

 

“Ugh!”

 

I dry heaved every time a cooked Space Spirit came out, and Older Brother buried the spirits in the ground with his small hands, wiggling around.

 

After countless crises like that, I was finally able to stand proudly in front of the chicken coop situated in one corner of the courtyard.

 

“Assemble!”

 

Then the potato-shaped Space Spirits lined up in a row in front of me with little pops.

 

Out of all the canned goods gambling, there were 10 living spirits in total.

 

They stood before me, wiggling their bodies.

 

I had succeeded in creating a Space Spirit farm!

 

“Purify! Purify! Purify!”

 

When I spread both hands and shot purification beams, the Space Spirits wrapped in light burst into giggles.

 

Soon the light faded, and the Space Spirits were each holding an egg in their arms.

 

‘So this is how they lay them!’

 

I thought about the mysteries of alien life as I snatched the eggs from the spirits and carefully placed them in a basket.

 

The Space Spirits struggled to protect their eggs, but they were knocked away with a single gesture from me.

 

“Sorry. But these are unfertilized eggs. They can’t hatch anyway.”

 

The Space Spirits seemed shocked by my words and gaped their mouths open.

 

Just then, an early winter wind blew, and the Space Spirits began shivering.

 

‘Space Spirits feel cold too.’

 

I was thinking I should at least put a heater in the farm out of guilt when a long shadow fell over me.

 

“What is all this?”

 

It was Older Sister Bora.

 

“Ah, Older Sister!”

 

I explained that these were beings called Space Spirits, and that they lay eggs when infused with purification power.

 

“This is our food supply.”

 

“Don’t I have anything to do? Everyone else is doing something, but I’m the only one resting and doing nothing, so it feels a bit uncomfortable…”

 

Older Sister’s whale tail drooped and swayed gently.

 

“Hmm… Why don’t you just relax?”

 

“That’s a bit…”

 

Older Sister Bora was naturally timid.

 

Unlike my shameless self, this situation of resting alone seemed a bit difficult for her.

 

“Or would you like to try going hunting too, Older Sister?”

 

Then, looking at Older Sister’s outfit, I quickly asked.

 

“Older Sister, aren’t you cold though?”

 

Older Sister was wearing a white sleeveless dress that didn’t match the weather. Why was she wearing such clothes?

 

“Wait a moment.”

 

I grabbed Older Sister’s hand and immediately ran to the kitchen.

 

“Chae Heon! Chae Heon!”

 

Chae Heon, who was lighting a fire in the fireplace, looked up.

 

“What about Captain Gong? Did he lay eggs?”

 

“I sent Captain Gong hunting. Don’t worry. I made a Space Spirit farm instead.”

 

“A farm?”

 

“Want to see?”

 

I got excited and forgot my original purpose, taking Chae Heon to the farm.

 

“Ta-da!”

 

I was proudly showing Chae Heon my farm when I noticed Older Sister standing there blankly beside us.

 

Right! This isn’t the time for this!

 

“Clothes! Where do you get clothes?”

 

“Clothes?”

 

“You have lots of clothes. Where did you get them from?”

 

I shook Older Sister’s hand that I was holding.

 

Chae Heon seemed to finally notice that Older Sister’s outfit didn’t match the season and nodded slowly.

 

“We would need clothes.”

 

Then Older Sister Bora whispered quietly.

 

“I’m fine though…”

 

I ignored her. Older Sister was so introverted that she wouldn’t speak honestly, so I had no choice but to take care of her.

 

“Chae Heon, where did you farm all those clothes?”

 

“…Ah.”

 

Unusually, Chae Heon hesitated at my question.

 

“…?”

 

Had he been to a dangerous place? I was wondering when…

 

Chae Heon ran his hand over his face once and said.

 

“I farmed them at the guild headquarters.”

 

“Ah!”

 

An exclamation mark appeared above my head.

 

Once upon a time, the Yongsan area was densely packed with medium and large guild headquarters.

 

That was until it was contaminated by the Yongsan Dungeon Break.

 

It made sense that Chae Heon had so much techwear.

 

If he farmed at guild headquarters, it would have been techwear heaven.

 

But why did he hesitate to answer? I tilted my head in confusion.

 

“Don’t tell me those clothes….”

 

You farmed them from the Queisa building, you little rascal!

 

“No.”

 

Chae Heon rubbed my face with his large hand as if he had read my mind.

 

“Mmph mmph mmph!”

 

“Don’t think weird thoughts. I farmed them from a different guild.”

 

Older Brother smacked Chae Heon’s hand with his tentacles, but Chae Heon didn’t pull his hand away.

 

Older Sister Bora, who was watching this scene with some satisfaction, clapped her hands as if it was a good idea.

 

“That’s right. If we go to Queisa, my clothes will be there.”

 

At the same time, Chae Heon’s hand dropped.

 

“Are you planning to go to Queisa?”

 

Chae Heon had an expression like he expected her to say that.

 

His earlier troubled look seemed to be because of this.

 

“Why? Is there something wrong with our building?”

 

When Older Sister Bora tilted her head curiously, Chae Heon stroked his chin as if choosing his words.

 

“It would be better for you to go to a different guild rather than Queisa. At Queisa….”

 

“At Queisa?”

 

Older Sister Bora and I asked simultaneously.

 

Chae Heon frowned slightly and continued speaking.

 

“There’s something strange attached to it.”

 

“Don’t tell me it’s a dungeon with Xion?”

 

“Yeah. It’s quite a tricky dungeon….”

 

Then suddenly Chae Heon trailed off and stared intently at me.

 

Why did he stop explaining?

 

As I wondered about this, Chae Heon spoke.

 

“You can do it.”

 

“Huh?”

 

“The current Queisa is a dungeon only you can clear.”

 

A dungeon only I can clear? My eyes sparkled.
