The Jelly Alien Will Save You!
Episode 61
I eagerly followed behind.
“…!”
As I followed deep inside, I was startled.
The interior was much more spacious and modern than I had expected from the outside.
There were pure white cement walls and a thick steel safe.
It was a space that I could never imagine being inside a tree trunk.
“…Handprints.”
“Huh?”
Following Chae Heon’s gaze, I could see the safe door.
There were countless handprints and what looked like nail marks left on it. There were even a few fingernails scattered on the floor below.
‘Whose are those~!’
I became jittery and stuck close to Chae Heon’s leg, trembling.
Then Older Brother from inside the spaceship climbed up onto my head and covered my vision with his tentacles.
“Getting an inheritance doesn’t seem easy.”
Chae Heon took a few steps inside and examined the torn fabric scattered on the floor.
‘That’s….’
I immediately recognized what it was.
It was a hazmat suit.
Although it was white, when thinking of hazmat suits, I couldn’t help but think of ‘Yellow Hazmat Suit’.
Could it be that those who left the handprints and nail marks were people sent by ‘Planet Dynamics’?
‘To get what? The inheritance?’
Then, Chae Heon read the text written on the safe door.
“Insert the key… it says?”
He turned around.
I blinked as I looked at the key in my hand.
This?
When I showed him the key, Chae Heon shrugged. It seemed to mean ‘You don’t see anything else, do you?’
I cautiously approached the door. Getting closer, I could see the handprints and nail marks left near the door more clearly.
My trembling hand moved toward the keyhole.
Could this really be right?
If I could get the inheritance by inserting the key, why were there scratch marks on the door?
Just as I was about to insert the key while swallowing my doubts.
“Would you like to check if you have VIP qualifications?”
‘VVIP special customers and VIP Counter.’
“Are ‘you also’ here to claim an inheritance?”
The employees’ words flashed through my mind like a panorama.
“….”
I didn’t insert the key, but instead infused the power of purification into my hand.
Then the key became a soft liquid and dripped down to the floor.
“…?”
“….”
My gaze met with Chae Heon’s.
After a moment of silence, Chae Heon looked back and forth between me and the key that had turned into liquid, then said sarcastically.
“Well done. Now you can’t get the inheritance as you wanted.”
No, I had my reasons for doing that!
Older Brother stepped forward on my behalf and slapped Chae Heon’s leg.
I patted Older Brother’s head approvingly and said.
“This is a trap. Not just anyone can take the inheritance. It looks like unqualified people tried hard to get it though.”
“Then?”
“Only I can do it.”
When Chae Heon looked at me with a dubious expression, I grinned.
“This is something only I can receive.”
Chae Heon still had a distrustful look, but I could prove it.
The reason I’m a VVIP customer.
That is….
I manifested my purification power.
‘…It must be because of the purification ability that only I have.’
Then the pure white room began to peel away layer by layer.
Like peeling off old wallpaper, the surface fell away.
The walls no longer looked like solid cement.
Rather, it was the tree itself with vivid tree rings still alive.
“Wow….”
It felt like being inside a huge tree trunk.
That’s when it happened.
Screeeeech!
A sharp noise like nails on a chalkboard scratched at my ears.
Chae Heon frowned and covered his ears.
But I just looked around.
While it might just be noise to Chae Heon, it sounded a bit different to me.
[̌̒̌̒̅᷇̚͞This͍̞̏̿ ͍͓̮᷃record̞̈͛᷃ ̯͉̊͢is͔͚̽̊̒̔ ̟̇̊̒transmitted̰̞̔ ̢̛̮̭̂̆only̛͖͍̐ ̛̥̪̘̂͡tọ̧̋ ̧͔̖̈̕thosē̙̣̹ ̘̳̄ͅwhǫ͇᷉̄̊ ̭̹̋havĕ̬͕͓ ̞̓̊inherited̬͖͐̄ ̜͐̏thḛ̻̽̆̈ ̪͖͎̎̎̋power̫̫̉͑ ͍̫̘᷃̀of͈́͡ ̜̈̄purification̨̪̠̓͐᷅.]
At the same time, a familiar metal fragment floated up in the center of the room.
‘It’s what I saw in the Queisa Equipment Storage….’
The metal fragment had unknown characters engraved on it, just like before.
I tried reading it aloud. A song-like voice flowed out.
“̃᷃᷇̔Aaà̦̞aaa̟͛̀͋̎aaǎ̝᷉̂-͎͛́aaa̢̠̜͒-͕̦”
Swoosh!
The metal fragment rolled up into a circle, threads emerged, and it took the form of a pompom.
‘Ah.’
When I suddenly looked back at Chae Heon, he was frozen in place.
Just like when time had stopped at Queisa Headquarters.
I felt at ease and reached out to touch the metal fragment. The thin metal threads gently tickled my fingers.
“Hmm….”
Since there’s no Mimic Jelly now, is reproduction impossible like before?
I looked around this way and that, searching for some method, but nothing appeared.
‘Is it impossible?’
Grab, I seized the round metal sphere. Then the threads retracted, leaving only the form of a metal bead.
‘I should at least take this with me.’
I could go home and ask Mimic Jelly to try implementing it.
Just as I was taking the metal sphere.
“Is that the inheritance?”
Chae Heon’s time began flowing again.
“Ah, yes!”
“It looks similar to what we saw at Queisa Headquarters.”
I rolled my eyes and shook my head.
“I don’t think they look similar at all. That one looked like a pompom, but this one doesn’t.”
I was worried he might oppose bringing it in, saying it was a dangerous object.
“Is that so?”
“Mm-hmm. Now let’s get the seeds and go back.”
After packing the metal sphere into the spaceship, we went outside.
Then the employee at the desk looked at us with disbelieving eyes.
She whispered to the tree as if asking.
“How did they come out? How did they come out?”
Woong- Woong-
A crying sound seemed to come from the tree as if answering.
The employee twisted her head like a clock hand again.
“Jelly didn’t die. Jelly didn’t die.”
Woong- Woong-
The way she said everything twice somehow gave me chills.
‘I really almost died…’
Suddenly I remembered the fingernails that had been scattered on the floor.
…Surely not all the owners of those fingernails died?
No. Let’s not think about unnecessary things.
Trembling and clenching my mouth shut, I approached the employee and held out the seeds.
“Can you exchange these for Galaxy Tutu pepper seeds?”
Then the employee’s bizarrely twisted head returned to normal.
“Of course, customer.”
Her smiling appearance looked like a normal human again.
‘That was scary.’
Finding that even scarier, I received the Galaxy Tutu pepper seeds and quickly headed outside.
“…!”
Then suddenly one thought occurred to me.
When I tried to turn back and approach the employee again, Chae Heon grabbed me with a puzzled look.
“Why are you going back? Weren’t we done with our business?”
“Oh, yeah. Right. But there’s something bothering me.”
“Something bothering you?”
Nodding my head, I approached the employee.
The employee asked me with a kind smile.
“Is there anything else you need, customer?”
“Yeah. There’s one favor I’d like to ask…”
