The Jelly Alien Will Save You!

Episode 5

The boy with a pale face and delicate, pretty features was definitely ‘him’.

He seemed to have grown since I last saw him, but no matter how I looked at it…

‘It’s Chae Heon.’

The very person who once caused a worldwide sensation when a dual-attribute S-rank appeared.

After awakening, he was deployed in countless military operations and became the youngest officer ever, commissioned as a captain the moment he turned 18, sparking controversy.

And he was the deputy team leader of the Special Response Team (SRT) that entered Yongsan Dungeon together with Guild Queisa in a joint civilian-military operation.

‘…Queisa.’

I repeated the name I had avoided for so long.

Queisa was my brother’s guild.

My brother went missing due to a dungeon break while raiding the Yongsan dungeon with his guild members… He was declared dead shortly after. Along with all the guild members.

Some of the special forces survived at the time, but Chae Heon went missing with Queisa and would have been declared dead.

But that Chae Heon is alive?

Then what about Queisa? What happened to my brother? Is Chae Heon here alone?

I couldn’t sense any other presence in the house. If so…

I opened and closed my mouth, wanting to ask what happened to my brother and whether the guild members were alive.

“Um, Chae Heo-“

“…”

Suddenly Chae Heon’s eyes narrowed and his sharp gaze turned toward me.

He looked wary, as if asking how I knew his name.

Receiving the suffocating stare of an S-rank, I stammered to continue.

“Cha, chaha… It’s chilly, don’t be so cold.”

Only then did the killing intent instantly drain away as Chae Heon snorted.

I quietly lowered my eyes.

I could see my feet that didn’t even have toes.

Right now, I’m just a suspicious alien. It would be strange to act like I know Chae Heon.

Asking about Queisa would require countless explanations to follow, but I can’t answer anything.

That I’m the younger sibling of Queisa’s guild leader? That I woke up and had become an alien?

Even if I revealed the truth, I would only be met with more suspicion.

If I were in my original form, could I have asked what happened to my brother? If I could at least overpower him with force…

“What are you staring at?”

“Ah, I wasn’t looking.”

I quickly bowed my head deeply.

Meanwhile, he took me down from the tree.

“Go. Don’t think about stealing food. It’s hard to even get carrots around here.”

A light snort mixed with the end of his words.

I opened my mouth in a daze.

Just go? Like this?

Chae Heon might be the only person who knows my brother’s whereabouts.

All the words that had risen to my throat collided and were swallowed.

There were tens of thousands of reasons I couldn’t leave here.

A place where I could escape the danger of monsters and be safe.

Plus, a place where someone who knows my brother’s whereabouts exists.

And most importantly, this is my house! (Even if it’s just a game setting.)

“What are you doing?”

“…I’m going, so don’t rush me.”

I bounced my way to the gate. Then as soon as I crossed the threshold, I took out my spaceship.

Chae Heon seemed a bit surprised when the small piece of paper suddenly grew to be as big as me.

I smirked at him and set the box down in front of the gate.

Bounce, bounce, bounce.

Then I got inside the box and sat down.

“…”

“…”

A staring contest between Chae Heon and me continued for quite a while.

“What are you doing?”

“You told me to go, so I came outside.”

“What’s that thing?”

“A UFO.”

“…”

I gave additional explanation to Chae Heon, who seemed speechless.

“It’s cozy.”

Chae Heon rubbed his face with his hands.

After running his hands down his face, he glared at me through his fingers. His eyes clearly said, ‘I was going to let you go peacefully, are you messing around?’

I glared back at him just as fiercely.

Chae Heon looked like he was considering whether to just pick that thing up and throw it away for a moment, then just went back into the house.

I stared blankly at his retreating figure, then stuck out my lips.

“Hmph.”

Foolish Chae Heon.

I’ll show you from now on just how useful an alien I am.

* * *

Beep beep beep bounce.

I entered through the wide-open gate and stood in front of the farmland.

The field where several carrots had been lined up had nothing left in it.

Of course. I ate them all.

I wiped the corner of my mouth.

Still, I happened to have one seed I got from purifying a monster.

I crouched down and planted the F-rank seed in the field.

Normally I would need to water it and wait, but-

Farming in 【Sparkle Sparkle! Planetmon!】 is different from real farming.

“Hehehe.”

I laughed sinisterly while rubbing my hands together.

After waiting a bit, sprouts quickly grew up in an instant.

Sprouts emerged, and the stem grew thick and long.

Long… long… even longer…?

The stem that shot upward began to sway.

‘It’s, it’s going to fall!’

I hurriedly opened the power window in my 【Survival Handbook】.

【Powers】

-Purification (Lv.1)

-Decoration

‘It’s open, Decoration!’

When I clicked on Decoration, several options for decorating cherry tomatoes appeared.

[Decoration]

-Basic Support Stake (1cc)

-Steel Core Support Stake (10cc)

-Royal Ribbon Support Stake (20cc)

I immediately selected ‘Basic Support Stake’. I only had 6 coins right now.

Soon, seeing the tomatoes on the cherry tomato stem with the installed support stake begin to ripen red, I smiled contentedly.

To make cherry tomatoes grow instantly in a place like this.

Moreover, they were much larger than ordinary cherry tomatoes.

Hehe, Chae Heon must be amazed by this alien’s incredible abilities, right?

I got cocky and went back inside the spaceship.

Bounce bounce bounce bounce.

I was carrying two cherry tomatoes I had picked in my hands.

I curled up in a ball and lay down in the box.

The sun was beginning to set. As I put a cherry tomato in my mouth and chewed, a sudden chill made my shoulders tremble slightly.

‘It’s cold.’

It was strange and amusing that even this jelly could feel the cold.

What on earth happened to my brother?

More than suddenly becoming an alien and falling into a contaminated zone, I was more curious about what might have happened to my brother.

Is my brother still alive?

‘When will I be able to ask?’

I closed my eyes, imagining Chae Heon welcoming me warmly.

“Brother…”

Beyond my small murmur, I thought I heard the sound of a door.

* * *

Clack clack clack!

Clack clack clack clack!

I rubbed my sleepy eyes at the loud clattering noise.

But for some reason, a cozy blanket was covering my body. Though I didn’t know why, I snuggled deeper into the soft blanket.

I tried to go back to sleep, but the unpleasant noise kept disturbing my rest.

Clack clack clack clack!

‘Why is there such a creepy sound?’

When I opened my drowsy eyes, what I saw were green stems.

Clack clack clack!

Teeth were chattering from the appetizing cherry tomatoes hanging on those stems.

I rubbed my eyes.

“Whoa…”

Am I still dreaming?

But no matter how much I rubbed my eyes, the cherry tomatoes’ teeth didn’t disappear.

Clack clack clack clack!

What? I definitely purified the tooth mold monster before? Could it be that it got contaminated again because we’re inside a contaminated zone?

Maybe by accelerating the crops’ time, they absorbed that much more contamination…

‘I think that might be right?’

I was formulating a plausible hypothesis when it happened.

Chae Heon, who had approached at some point, looked at me sideways with an axe slung over his shoulder.

Cold as usual today too. I greeted the cold-faced Chae Heon.

“Hello, Farmer.”

“Hey. Did you do this?”

“No?”

Chae Heon silently pulled over a cherry tomato stem and brought it in front of me.

Clack clack clack clack!

The cherry tomatoes’ teeth were trying to bite me.

“Stop it!”

“It was you, wasn’t it?”

Clack clack clack clack!

“I said stop!”

“It was you.”

Clack clack clack clack clack!

“Uh… now that I think about it, it does seem right!”

Only then did Chae Heon free me from the cherry tomato stem.

I pouted and came out of the spaceship.

Bounce bounce bounce bounce.

Chae Heon was casually chopping down the toothed tomatoes with his axe.

Fortunately, not all the tomatoes had teeth.

‘Is that fortunate?’

I tilted my head in confusion while organizing the blanket.

But why is there a blanket here?

I was startled by the blanket, then gradually realized that I wasn’t outside the gate but inside the house on the daecheongmaru.

There’s no way I could have flown here while sleeping.

Did Chae Heon carry me inside, box and all, while I was sleeping? And cover me with a blanket too?

‘What the…’

I wiped my nose while watching Chae Heon chopping with his axe.

‘He’s not such a bad guy after all.’

“Hey, you get out.”

“…”
