The Jelly Alien Will Save You!

 

Episode 54

 

* * *

 

Squeak squeak squeak squeak.

 

The squeaking footsteps echoed through the empty Yongsan Square.

 

Shane, who had been sitting with his legs propped up on the desk watching tablet footage, opened his eyes wide.

 

Squeak squeak squeak squeak.

 

The sound that might come from a child’s shoes was approaching closer.

 

Shane quickly put his legs down and buried his nose in the tablet. Then he put on headphones to hear better.

 

Squeak squeak squeak squeak.

 

The steady footsteps approached closer. Along with them came the sound of voices.

 

The first voice he heard was blunt.

 

【You came here to take this stupid thing?】

 

【You’re the stupid one.】

 

A cute girl’s voice shot back.

 

Shane’s heart felt like it would burst from the sound of their gentle conversation.

 

There was no way he could hear such a girl’s voice in the deepest part of the Contaminated Area.

 

So there was only one answer he could think of.

 

The owner of the vending machine.

 

Everyone had shaken their heads at his suggestion to ‘place a cute Hamster Drone at Yongsan Station,’ but his intuition told him.

 

This plan would definitely succeed.

 

And in the end, he had succeeded in luring out the vending machine’s owner with the cute hamster!

 

Squeak squeak squeak squeak.

 

Then, something pink appeared approaching on the tablet screen.

 

Shane’s eyes sparkled as he had expected the vending machine’s owner to be human, whoever they were.

 

It was an incredibly cute being, but it wasn’t human or in the form of any ordinary animal.

 

“It’s not human… It’s not human!”

 

Shane, extremely excited, called for his secretary Susan.

 

“Susan, come here right now and look at this!”

 

At Shane’s urgent words, Susan immediately opened the door.

 

“What’s the matter?”

 

He held out the tablet in front of Susan.

 

The video was paused at one part.

 

“Do you see it?”

 

“Yes… What is this? The material looks like jelly…”

 

Then he smiled as wide as a washbasin and said.

 

“It’s an alien…!”

 

“…”

 

Susan narrowed her eyes.

 

It had been a full 10 years since dungeons appeared in the world.

 

Stories about ‘green aliens who travel in UFOs and abduct humans’ had long been dismissed as conspiracy theorists’ delusions.

 

Susan expressed great regret that there was still someone who believed such absurd stories, and that it was her own boss no less.

 

Besides, that jelly isn’t even green, it’s pink!

 

“Sir, listen to me. I can give you 100 reasons why that being is not an alien. First, there are things called mutants in Contaminated Zones-”

 

As Susan was about to start a long explanation, Shane raised his hand to stop her.

 

“Okay, okay. I’ll prove to you that this Pink Jelly is an alien. Watch carefully.”

 

Shane input commands to the Hamster Drone with practiced hand movements.

 

【Squeak!】

 

The hamster that received the command squeaked once, then extended its index finger toward the pink jelly.

 

The pink jelly quietly observed the hamster’s actions, then seemed to understand what it was doing and clapped its fist into its palm.

 

Soon an index finger extended from the jelly.

 

The hamster’s and jelly’s index fingers slowly touched.

 

“…!”

 

Shane felt an electric current tingle through his body and clutched his chest.

 

He jumped up from his seat, saying he had done it.

 

Susan looked at her boss with a bewildered expression as he got excited and even turned red in the face.

 

She knew he was originally a bit strange, but she didn’t know he was this crazy.

 

Then, conversation sounds came from the tablet screen.

 

【What are you doing?】

 

【Haven’t you seen E.T.? I’m communicating with an Earthling.】

 

Hearing that conversation, Shane made a fuss like some kind of girl fan and said.

 

“I guess aliens have seen E.T. too!”

 

“…”

 

Susan, who had briefly thought about a crazy human and a strange alien, pressed her temples.

 

Why did I think of it as an alien too? I can’t believe it.

 

Shane excitedly sent a bunch of messages to the tablet.

 

[I knew you would be somewhere in this vast universe.]

 

[I’m so happy to meet an alien! ٩( ᐖ )ミ( ᐛ )و]

 

[That communication was just a small gesture, but it’s a giant leap for mankind! ♥~(˙Ⱉᑉ)]

 

Susan, horrified by the messages, turned Shane’s chair to the side.

 

“Wait, calm down. This isn’t an alien fan meeting!”

 

“Now you believe it’s an alien?”

 

“Not really, but let’s say it is for now. But we were looking for the vending machine’s owner, weren’t we?”

 

“Yes, it would make sense if it was alien technology.”

 

“Do you have a reason for being so certain?”

 

Shane hesitated for some reason and was about to say something.

 

The Jelly Alien spoke from beyond the screen.

 

【Hello, Shane Heart.】

 

“…?!”

 

【Shane Heart of ‘Revaion Biotech.’ I am indeed the owner of the vending machine.】

 

The Jelly Alien spoke naturally as if it could hear their conversation.

 

Shane typed with trembling hands.

 

[How did you know?]

 

【You wrote Shane Heart first.】

 

[Not that. How did you know I was looking for the vending machine’s owner?]

 

【Because there’s no other reason Shane Heart would send such a drone above a vending machine in a Contaminated Area.】

 

“This is no ordinary alien.”

 

Susan, who had placed her hands on the desk and leaned forward, said with surprise.

 

Shane nodded.

 

“That’s right. It understands our situation perfectly.”

 

[Do you know me?]

 

【Of course I know you. You’re a global celebrity. Shane Heart of Revaion Biotech.】

 

[I’m honored! I’m glad I became famous! This is so exciting! ✧ฺ･｡(✪▽✪*)･｡✧]

 

“Sir.”

 

Susan was trying to stop Shane from going wild again when it happened.

 

【I have something I’d like to deal with you, but it seems difficult to talk more here. Would you like to come to our house first?】

 

[House?]

 

[Your house?]

 

[Good. Good. Good. Good. Good. Good. Good. Good. Good. Good. Good. Good. Good. Good. Good. Good. Good. Good. Good. Good.]

 

* * *

 

Shane Heart’s final answer even felt tinged with madness.

 

Even Chae Heon flinched.

 

It was just as Dad had told me.

 

Dad had said there was one ‘handsome and amazing nerd’ among his business contacts, and that was Shane Heart.

 

‘He said he was completely obsessed with aliens, conspiracy theories… stuff like that.’

 

And he was running a company.

 

‘Revaion Biotech’.

 

It was one of the three major companies that changed the world’s landscape by actively incorporating Dungeon Byproducts into technology.

 

A place with technology and scale large enough to send cutting-edge drones into Contaminated Areas, plus information networks that couldn’t be ignored.

 

That’s why Shane Heart was a useful card for me, an alien.

 

‘I need to manipulate him well and make him spill information about Yellow Hazmat Suit.’

 

I had actually planned to approach him by revealing that I was an alien, but before I could do that, he recognized me immediately with his otaku instincts.

 

The first person to acknowledge me as an alien…

 

“Hehe.”

 

I smiled softly, feeling pleased.

 

As soon as the hamster arrived at the house, it was fluttering around examining this place and that.

 

‘Are those eyes cameras? Well made.’

 

While watching the hamster explore the house, our eyes met.

 

There probably wasn’t much to see in the house. I grinned wickedly.

 

“Shane Heart. Want me to show you the UFO?”

 

[Please show me. Please. Please. Please. Please. Please. Please. Please. Please. Please.]

 

[I’m begging you. I’m begging you. Plz. Plzz. Please. Plz. Plz. Plz]

 

It was truly madness itself.
