The Jelly Alien Will Save You!

Episode 64

“Let’s go save them, hup!”

I said.

“They’re definitely, sniff! waiting for us.”

Then Kwon Bora, who had been wiping away tears with me, pulled out a weapon from her embrace and replied.

“Let’s go, Do Dam.”

It was a lightning rod-shaped sword she had brought from Queisa this time.

Bounce bounce bounce bounce. I climbed aboard the spaceship and responded.

“Yeah!”

Having cried our hearts out, we set off with great dignity.

Crackle crackle!

“W-wait just a moment!”

“We don’t have time to wait.”

“Don’t try to stop us, Captain Gong.”

With our eyes all puffy from crying, we hissed at Captain Gong Ju Won like vipers, when Chae Heon spoke.

“Do you even know where to go?”

“…”

“…”

We sat back down obediently on the floor.

Older Sister lifted me onto her lap, so I leaned back comfortably in her embrace.

Seeing how much better I felt, it seemed like Older Sister thought I was soft and squishy. (This was due to my ‘Ferocious Predator Jelly’ title.)

I said.

“Let’s not act rashly.”

“Right. We need to stay calm at times like this.”

Older Sister agreed.

I rode the momentum and pointed accusingly at Captain Gong.

“And Captain Gong, how could you try to stop us so unreasonably? We almost got electrocuted!”

“…R-right. It was dangerous!”

Older Sister seemed to have gained a bit of boldness. How admirable.

I patted the back of Older Sister’s hand to praise her for doing well.

Captain Gong Ju Won looked a bit dazed at our words, but we pretended not to notice and discussed what to do next.

Before getting into the main story, I first confessed about what happened at the bank.

“You took away that ‘inheritance’ the Yellow Hazmat Suit wanted and told them to say ‘the Scavengers took it’?”

Captain Gong Ju Won raised his voice.

I pursed my lips and nodded. My shoulders hunched up, worried I might get scolded.

But the words that followed were completely unexpected.

“Wow… You did well.”

“You really did great, Do Dam!”

What? Everyone’s praising me? I rolled my eyes and slightly lifted the corners of my mouth.

I felt Chae Heon chuckle a little at my reaction.

Why, what, why.

“If you hadn’t said the Scavengers took it, we would have been in big trouble.”

That was true. It would have rained blood at our house.

“So what is this inheritance thing?”

“Ah.”

I rummaged through the spaceship and pulled out the metal sphere.

“Huh? I think I saw this at Queisa.”

At Older Sister’s words, it seemed like sparks flew from Chae Heon’s eyes.

“N-no, Older Sister. It’s different from that one.”

I quickly denied it while watching Chae Heon’s expression.

“Is that so? But how do you use it?”

Hmm. Maybe I could use Mimic Jelly to open the records? As I glanced at the Mimic Jelly playing with the Space Spirits at the farm, Chae Heon interrupted.

“Rather than what this is, let’s think about what we can do right now.”

“Right. If Jae Hee came looking for what the Yellow Hazmat Suit wanted, is Jae Hee in the Yellow Hazmat Suit’s clutches?”

Captain Gong Ju Won nodded at Older Sister’s speculation.

“That’s highly likely. My team members were also controlled by the Yellow Hazmat Suit.”

As he said this, he bit his lower lip. He seemed to be holding back anger.

I looked at Captain Gong Ju Won with pitying eyes for a moment, then brought up the topic again.

“Chae Heon, you said earlier that the Scavengers have two centers, right?”

“Right.”

“Then the next place Older Brother Jae Hee goes might be there. For now, he’d think the Scavengers have the inheritance.”

Everyone nodded as if it made sense.

“My opinion is to follow him to the second base for now.”

I looked at Chae Heon, who had fallen silent, and continued asking.

“Do you know where that is?”

“…I know.”

Chae Heon, who said this, looked somehow reluctant.

As light streamed down from the church’s stained glass, a man in a garishly patterned suit clasped his hands together.

His gaze turned toward the statue standing in the center of the church.

The statue was painted entirely black, with only a long mouth drawn in blue paint.

That was the god of the Contaminated Area that they, that he believed in.

Then, creak, the church door opened and a Scavenger rushed over breathlessly to whisper in his ear.

The man slowly opened his eyes and murmured.

“…The Yellow Hazmat Suit betrayed us.”

“Yes, the Yellow Hazmat Suit brought Xion to the second base.”

“For what purpose?”

“They asked if we had taken the ‘inheritance.'”

“Inheritance… Is there a kid who brought such a thing?”

“We investigated separately, but there was no such kid.”

The man formed his hands like a tower and touched his thumbs together.

“…Then they’ll be coming this way soon.”

The man stood up and straightened his clothes.

The Scavenger followed suit and stood up, asking.

“How do you plan to respond?”

Should we gather all the combat personnel?

The Scavenger tensed up at the possible upcoming conflict and continued speaking.

“Will you fight?”

But their leader and king of the Scavengers, Jino, just slicked back his hair and spoke nonchalantly.

“Why fight? Tell them to wait.”

“What?!”

“The ones who really have the inheritance will come this way.”

As he put on crimson sunglasses, the church door opened.

Jino muttered.

“Well, I’ll get compensation first.”

It was another Scavenger who opened the door.

“Huff, Xion is coming…!”

At the panicked Scavenger’s voice, Jino’s expression crumpled.

“Right. There should be a guest who came with Xion, where are they?”

The Scavenger who had announced Xion gulped nervously.

Hiss- Hiss-

Behind them, a Yellow Hazmat Suit revealed itself.

The Yellow Hazmat Suit, a full head taller than the Scavenger, had approached silently from behind.

The atmosphere naturally grew heavy.

Through the open door, the sound of something being dug echoed rhythmically.

Thud.

Clang.

Thud.

This place where the Scavengers had settled was a Mastone Concentration Area.

High-purity mastones grew in unpurified land, and these were traded at astronomical prices.

The Scavengers were raking in huge sums by distributing these mastones to the Yellow Hazmat Suit Group.

Thanks to this, I had thought their relationship with the Yellow Hazmat Suits wasn’t bad…

“Tsk.”

How dare they bring Xion to this place?
