The Jelly Alien Will Save You!
Episode 52
Chae Heon closed the documents.
“Is it like an armory?”
“It’s not just weapons.”
Kwon Bora paused while holding the door handle, then smiled softly and scratched her cheek. Her gaze went to Older Brother who was on top of my head.
“Our guild leader had a hobby of collecting strange things.”
Older Brother scratched his bald head with his tentacle, looking embarrassed.
I laughed “Ahaha.” Older Brother had always liked collecting things since we were young.
“There should be some useful stuff.”
We followed Older Sister down to the underground.
When the door opened through Kwon Bora’s iris recognition, the lights turned on one by one.
I couldn’t tell if it was using emergency power or if it was an item.
Equipment racks were lined up at the entrance, and as we went deeper inside, I could see metal display cases filled with fascinating objects.
“Wow…!”
I jumped down to the floor.
Dragon scales, something that looked like a heart, mandrakes, ore that looked like fragments of the moon… why is there a lever over there?
There really was all kinds of stuff. I was frantically looking around at the objects when it happened.
Brrr-
“…?!”
The Mimic Jelly that had been placed on top of my head like a two-scoop ice cream suddenly started trembling.
Older Brother, who was shaking along with the Mimic Jelly, smacked its bottom repeatedly.
He seemed quite annoyed by the trembling from above.
“Don’t do that. You need to get along.”
I stopped Older Brother and brought the Mimic Jelly down into my arms.
‘Is it because of this?’
I approached the display case that the Mimic Jelly was looking at.
Inside the glass case was a metal fragment.
Older Brother saw it and bounced up and down on top of my head. I couldn’t understand what he was saying.
“Older Sister, do you know what this is?”
“Ah, that’s probably a fragment brought from when Yongsan Dungeon first appeared.”
Older Brother nodded. That meant it was correct.
“What’s so special about it?”
Then Kwon Bora explained instead.
“Look closely here. There’s some kind of pattern drawn on it.”
“Ah-”
“The guild leader probably thought it was an object from another dimension, right?”
Older Brother nodded repeatedly.
“Hmm.”
I made a humming sound while observing the metal fragment.
Inside the round circle, something like ancient patterns was drawn.
But this looks more like writing than patterns?
As soon as I realized this, I could read the letters.
It would be difficult to pronounce with human vocal cords, but the current me could pronounce it.
…Like this.
“̉Aḩ͙̱͋́͝-̺̍͟ ̠͒ah͚̐͆ah͔̹̅̄̿-̗”
But as soon as I read the pattern, the metal fragment suddenly floated up.
“…?!”
“What did you do?!”
Kwon Bora and Chae Heon approached in surprise.
I don’t know! I quickly shook my head left and right.
Chae Heon picked me up and stepped back.
The metal fragment trembled slightly in the air, then slowly began to change shape.
The smooth surface cracked and thin metal threads emerged from inside. The threads extending in all directions were forming a round sphere.
‘A sea urchin? A pom-pom (a ball-shaped decoration made of fiber)?’
It contracted as if it were alive and floated toward me.
Though it was soon blocked by the glass case.
Chae Heon tried to step back further, but I shook my head. My instincts sensed that it wasn’t dangerous.
“I think it’ll be okay.”
“How is any of this okay!”
“My heart is telling me so!”
Saying that, I slipped out of Chae Heon’s arms.
Then I approached the display case and carefully reached out my hand. With the glass case between us, the thin thread and my hand touched.
At that moment, a very subtle tremor spread among the metal threads.
[̌̒̌̒̅᷇̚͞This͍̞̏̿ ͍͓̮᷃record̞̯͉̈͛᷃̊͢is͔͚̽̊̒̔ ̟̇̊̒transmitted̢̛̰̞̮̭̔̂̆only̛͖͍̐ ̛̥̪̘̂͡tọ̧̧͔̖̋̈̕thosē̙̣̹ ̘̳̄ͅwhǫ͇̭̹᷉̄̊̋inherited̬͕͓̞̆̓̊ ̬͖͐̄Jeong̜̰̻͐̏̽̆̈Hwa’s̪͖͎̫̫̎̎̋̉͑ ͍̫̘᷃̀authoritý̨̨͈̜̪̠̈̄̓͐᷅͡.]
It wasn’t a sound I heard with my ears.
But I definitely felt it. Someone’s voice!
I trembled with excitement.
“Did you just hear that? It said it’s only transmitted to me.”
I turned around with sparkling eyes, then froze stiff.
Chae Heon and Kwon Bora were frozen in their confused state. It looked as if time had stopped.
Could it be because it’s only transmitted to me?
That’s when it happened.
The Mimic Jelly dropped to the floor with a thud.
It looked like dropped ice cream, making me yelp.
Soon the Mimic Jelly’s body began to swell unevenly and started changing shape.
Into the form of a jelly alien that looked just like me.
But the color was different.
The jelly before my eyes was a faded blue color.
‘…!’
I was startled and stepped back with a gasp.
The Blue Jelly moved past me without paying attention.
It moved bounce bounce bounce, as if replaying events from the past.
Earlier it definitely said it was a ‘record’ transmitted only to me.
Then the Mimic Jelly must be showing me that ‘record’.
So really…
‘There was another jelly alien here besides me.’
Even though I had expected it, it felt strange and unfamiliar.
The Blue Jelly moved to the center of the room and suddenly stopped.
Then it raised its hand.
Light flowed from the jelly’s surface.
Though it contained no power, I could tell what it was expressing.
It was purification power.
The purification power didn’t disappear, but became a very thin membrane of light like paper, floating above the hand.
The Blue Jelly layered purification on top of it.
Once.
Twice.
Three times.
Four times.
The light gradually became denser and much clearer than at first.
‘The purification stays and accumulates?!’
It could be used like that?
The purification power I shot out randomly would disappear quickly. But the thin membrane I drew out didn’t vanish right away.
Then, suddenly, Chae Heon and Kwon Bora began moving at the same time.
“Stop talking nonsense and get away.”
Chae Heon spoke bluntly as he pulled me away from the glass case.
As if nothing had happened.
Neither Chae Heon nor Kwon Bora seemed to notice that their time had been stopped.
When I turned around, the metal wire sphere had returned to metal fragments like before.
I blinked my eyes blankly as if I had been dreaming.
“There seem to be some dangerous items here, so shall we go now?”
When Kwon Bora spoke restlessly, Chae Heon nodded and led me outside.
Even as I was being dragged along obediently, I quietly clenched one hand.
The purification power that had been accumulating on Blue Jelly’s hand wouldn’t leave my mind. My heart was pounding.
‘I want to have that ability…!’
* * *
After returning home.
I sat in front of the Farm and began placing purification thinly on top of Older Brother’s head. Certainly more purification power was accumulating than before.
‘It’s not working as well as Blue Jelly’s did.’
When I added another layer of purification, the light floating above Black Octopus’s bald head wavered.
I carefully steadied my breathing and tried once more…
Rustle-
The layered purification scattered as if pushing each other away.
The light quickly faded and disappeared as if nothing had been there in the first place.
‘Why?’
I furrowed my brow.
It wasn’t a lack of power. I could actually draw out more than before.
But the result was the same.
‘Blue Jelly did it like it was nothing.’
I let out a deep sigh and flopped down on the spot.
Mimic Jelly had transformed into a Space Spirit, making it 11 Space Spirits total.
Hmm. I made a gun shape with my hand and shot purification at Mimic Jelly.
When it jumped up, I giggled.
Mimic Jelly seemed angry as it raised its eyebrows fiercely.
‘Making such a vicious expression…’
This was all a phenomenon caused by lack of loyalty.
It probably felt that weak little me wasn’t satisfactory and was insufficient to serve as its master.
Mimic Jelly soon transformed into the strongest jelly among the forms it could shapeshift into and charged at me.
“Yap yap yap yap yap!”
“Yap yap yap yap yap yap yap!”
Round 2 had begun.
