The Jelly Alien Will Save You!

Episode 6

“Hey, you get out.”

“….”

Just as I thought he wasn’t a bad guy, an eviction order came down. Damn.

“Can this be eaten? If it’s because of contamination, I think I can purify it.”

I decided to ignore the eviction order.

“I said get out? Can’t you hear me?”

“Just wait a moment.”

I pretended not to hear a word he said and sat in front of the tooth tomato that had fallen on the ground.

Chae Heon asked as if dumbfounded.

“Are you always this shameless?”

“Mmhm, that’s right. Thank you.”

“That sounds like a compliment to you?”

“Everyone says being positive is my strong point.”

I spoke as if embarrassed and placed both hands on the tooth tomato.

‘Purify!’

Soon the tomato shimmered with rainbow colors, and the chattering teeth disappeared one by one.

The cherry tomato was completely purified and once again gave off an appetizing red glow.

I looked up at Chae Heon proudly.

“How about it, it should be edible now, right?”

However, Chae Heon’s face was strangely contorted.

“…What did you just do?”

I blinked my eyes.

What do you mean what, obviously….

“Purification.”

Only after answering blankly did I remember.

That purification ability users don’t exist among the awakened.

Chae Heon’s eyes wavered.

* * *

I’m practically Earth’s first purification ability user.

So it’s natural that he’d be surprised, but….

I tilted my head curiously.

For some reason, Chae Heon’s surprised expression had a strangely sad look to it. Why would he make that expression?

Just as I was about to say something.

Grrrrowl-!

Thunder struck from my stomach.

Ah, I only ate two cherry tomatoes last night before sleeping….

When Chae Heon stared intently at my stomach, my face turned bright red.

I glanced around nervously and quietly picked up the cherry tomato.

“I can just eat this.”

As I brushed off the dirt-covered cherry tomato and grasped it with both hands, a big sigh came from beside me.

“Stay here.”

“…?”

Why is he doing that?

As I waited while slightly hunched over, Chae Heon soon appeared from inside carrying a table.

The smell of rice wafted from the instant rice.

Gulp. I fidgeted and pretended to look into the distance.

I had already been caught stealing and earned his dislike, so I couldn’t afford to look even more like a glutton here.

However, Chae Heon placed the table on the Daecheongmaru and said as if tossing the words out.

“Don’t eat if you can’t.”

“I’ll eat! I can eat!”

Bounce bounce bounce!

I quickly sat in front of the table.

Then Chae Heon opened a can of tuna for me.

On the dining table were glossy instant rice, a tuna can, and meatball side dishes.

Did he farm these things from a mart (the act of obtaining items)?

Like the ‘raiding empty marts’ that appears countless times in disaster movies.

I held a fork and nibbled at the tuna can while glancing at the instant rice placed in front of Chae Heon.

Is there only one rice?

Or did he think I was like a stray cat and only opened a tuna can for me?

The answer came quickly.

“There’s no cat food.”

He really thought I was a stray cat.

I’m an alien, not a cat, you guy.

“Give me rice too.”

“….”

What, why, what.

Chae Heon looked dumbfounded for a moment, then heated up another instant rice.

“Thank you, Farmer.”

“Not Farmer, it’s Chae Heon.”

“Yeah. Thank you, Chae Heon. I’ll eat it deliciously.”

Chae Heon observed me briefly as if I was strange, then started eating his rice again.

I scooped up a big spoonful of rice with my fork, put tuna on top, and stuffed it all in my mouth at once, chewing.

Delicious!

How long has it been since I had rice? The warm rice grains and salty tuna seem to melt in my mouth.

Nom nom! Ahm ahm!

Chae Heon watched me take a few blissful spoonfuls, then said indifferently.

“Leave after eating.”

My mouth jutted out in a pout.

They say even dogs aren’t bothered when eating. Are you going to hurt this listening alien’s feelings like that?

Wahhh.

I defiantly opened my mouth wide and shoved the instant rice into my mouth.

My feelings were hurt, but the rice I was eating after so long went down smoothly gulp by gulp.

Munch munch. I swallowed the rice I had stuffed in my mouth and asked.

“What would I have to do for you to let me stay here?”

“Why do you want to stay here?”

“Well, it’s because other places have no food and are dangerous. At Yongsan Station… there’s that thing, you know.”

“You saw it?”

“Mmhm.”

“….”

“That thing is scary.”

Chae Heon didn’t respond, but I could tell he agreed about its danger.

I deliberately drooped my ears and pretended to be more scared. It was to find a gap in Chae Heon’s defenses.

But Chae Heon thought about something and then said.

“I can teach you how to farm.”

I asked uneasily.

“Hunting?”

He’s not telling me to live by eating monster meat just because I’m an alien, right? Oh, just imagining it is horrible.

“No. It’s easier than that.”

* * *

While we were at it, farming preparations began.

Chae Heon took off his torn shirt and was changing into techwear (futuristic fashion that protects the body from external environments).

Only then did I realize I had been going around too primitively.

“Chae Heon, Chae Heon. Give me clothes too.”

“…You wear clothes too?”

“Hey, I’m a civilized being too.”

“You say that so casually while going around completely naked.”

“Don’t make me feel more embarrassed and give me a bulletproof vest if you have one.”

At my request for a bulletproof vest, Chae Heon made a dumbfounded expression and asked.

“Give me food, give me clothes, give me a house. Do you only know how to say ‘give me’?”

“Yeah. My situation has become like that. Just give me one for now.”

I repeatedly opened and closed my hands while urging Chae Heon.

“….”

While Chae Heon hesitated, a light bulb flashed above my head.

It’s not just the bulletproof vest. If we’re going farming, we need weapons too.

Byobyobyobyobyobyong.

I ran out to the yard and stood up holding the axe that had been used to chop the tooth tomato earlier.

But Chae Heon immediately took the axe away from me.

“Why did you take it?”

Chae Heon looked down at me while holding the axe.

“Have you ever held a weapon before?”

“I was going to try holding one from now on.”

“….”

I opened and closed my hands again.

“Just let me try once. I think I could do well.”

“No.”

“Why.”

“Because you definitely won’t be able to handle it and will just get in the way.”

“Tch.”

I stuck out my lips in a pout.

“Then just give me something to wear.”

“Where would there be anything that fits you.”

“Just give me anything. I’ll wear it somehow.”

Byangbyangbyang.

“Huh? Chae Heon~”

Byangbyangbyangbyang.

“Give me~ Give me~”

After I followed him around begging several times, Chae Heon finally threw me a t-shirt.

I excitedly put on the t-shirt, but unfortunately, because it was too long, I ended up falling over about three times.

Chae Heon rubbed his face dry and muttered that he was going crazy, then tied the t-shirt up around my legs.

‘Good guy.’

When I patted Chae Heon’s head, he shuddered and stood up.

Acting all grumpy.

The place we arrived at after finishing all our preparations was….

“I-is this the right place?”

“Yeah.”

I gulped and swallowed.

In front of us was Yongsan Station.
