The Jelly Alien Will Save You!

Episode 65

How dare you bring Xion here?

The Yellow Hazmat Suit Group doesn’t seem to think of us as business partners. Or maybe they don’t care even if we are.

The latter is probably more likely.

He fidgeted with the two orbs in his pocket.

Glancing outside, he saw thick shadows had fallen, and the atmosphere had become thoroughly unsettled.

Xion had come. Right outside here.

“It’s been quite a while.”

Jino greeted the Yellow Hazmat Suit with both hands spread open.

“How about we sit down and talk?”

Hiss- Hiss-

The Yellow Hazmat Suit walked straight down the church’s central aisle and just stood there. As if they had no intention of sitting down whatsoever.

“Then I’ll sit by myself.”

Jino perched on the end of a long bench and crossed his legs.

The fact that they came to find him personally instead of immediately sending in Xion meant they wanted to talk.

“I heard you’re looking for something called a ‘legacy’?”

Nod.

The Yellow Hazmat Suit nodded their head.

“Our kids don’t have anything like that.”

“…”

“By the way, what made you think we had it?”

“…”

Hiss- Hiss-

Silence continued.

…Don’t need to know, is that it? Jino clicked his tongue against the roof of his mouth.

“Let’s think about this logically. How could we have known about and approached something like a legacy that even you guys couldn’t take?”

“…”

“I think this: someone was trying to drive a wedge between us.”

Hiss- Hiss-

The Yellow Hazmat Suit listened silently. As if pondering his opinion.

“The already taciturn fellow has become even more taciturn.”

Then, the Yellow Hazmat Suit spoke up.

“Well. Who would do such a thing?”

It was a lower voice than usual.

Did the person inside the hazmat suit change? Is that why they’re acting more difficult than the previous contact?

“That’s something we don’t know either.”

Jino tilted his head, then suddenly furrowed his brow deeply.

‘A different person…’

The problem with the Yellow Hazmat Suit was that you couldn’t confirm who was inside. Jino, who keenly noticed this, sharpened his voice.

“Our only goal is money. We don’t have even an ant’s eye-booger worth of interest in alien artifacts or whatever you people want.”

“Get to the point.”

At the short reply, Jino shrugged and continued speaking.

“The moment we get something like that, revealing it to you people and making a deal would be more profitable for us. Like that item from last time.”

“…”

A brief silence settled.

When the Yellow Hazmat Suit’s response to his probing words was delayed, his suspicion grew stronger.

It was when Jino gripped his weapon, the orbs, tightly so he could activate his skill if necessary.

An answer came from the Yellow Hazmat Suit’s side.

“Like that gun you lost while haggling?”

“…”

It seemed he had been overly paranoid.

Jino chuckled and nodded.

“Since you remember, this conversation should go smoothly…”

“I want to finish this boring talk quickly too.”

“Then let’s skip the boring talk and get to the point. This is my prediction, but I think the ones who have the legacy will be coming this way soon.”

The Yellow Hazmat Suit, who had been looking at the statue, stiffened slightly and turned their head.

“Why do you think that?”

Got them. Jino thought this and spoke cheerfully.

“The one driving the wedge must have a purpose too. Just think about what the goal might be for those who would benefit from our disappearance.”

“Hmm.”

Jino turned his head toward the statue and crossed his arms as he continued.

“Did they need the magic stones we have? Or are they people who just want us dead? Whatever it is doesn’t matter. If they need magic stones, they’ll naturally come here, and if they want us dead, they’ll come to confirm we’re really all dead. Unless they have divine eyes, they won’t know if we’re dead or alive, so they’ll want to confirm with their own two eyes.”

The Yellow Hazmat Suit nodded repeatedly.

“That makes sense. So?”

“Nothing major, I’m suggesting we put on an act. Pretend to drive us out with Xion.”

“Fine. What do you want in return?”

Jino clapped his hands.

“Haha, as expected, you only say things I like to hear. We’ll sell magic stones at triple the price from now on. It’s far from enough compensation for destroying our second base and killing all our people, but we’ll make concessions for our business partner.”

“…”

Jino looked at the silent Yellow Hazmat Suit and shrugged.

“Think of it as the price for our people’s lives, isn’t that easy?”

Jino thought the negotiation wouldn’t be easy even so.

Astronomical amounts of money were already flowing between them.

Triple would be an enormous burden.

Should I negotiate down to 1.5 times?

He was thinking that when…

The Yellow Hazmat Suit soon nodded without hesitation.

“Let’s do that. We don’t have time, so I’d like you to withdraw quickly.”

With that, the Yellow Hazmat Suit turned around.

“…?”

Jino frowned. This easily?

It’s too different from what I expected. As if there’s some other reason.

Is it because of Xion?

“Are there constraints on controlling Xion?”

At Jino’s question, the Yellow Hazmat Suit turned their head.

“Is that your concern?”

Oops. Jino raised both arms.

‘It’s not my concern, really.’

Triple? It was actually a profitable deal.

Satisfied, he followed the Yellow Hazmat Suit outside. Then he shouted to the Scavengers.

“Withdraw! Withdraw! Take everyone and withdraw!”

“Withdraw, sir?”

“Stop talking and take the kids and leave. If you don’t want to die, move to the emergency base without leaving a single person behind!”

At Jino’s command, the Scavengers began moving swiftly.

That’s when it happened.

Uuuuuung-

The long howling sound of Xion could be heard.

The Yellow Hazmat Suit was raising their hand. As if controlling Xion.

It seemed they were already trying to move Xion.

“I’m curious how you move that Xion.”

At that, Yellow Hazmat Suit laughed.

Because a mischievous giggling sound came through the earpiece.

Woooooong-

A moment later, a giant whale circled overhead. Indeed, just looking at it gave off a destructive power that seemed like it would raise contamination levels.

Crackle crackle!

Electricity sparked from the whale’s body.

Jino looked at the whale, then turned around.

“Well then, I wish you luck.”

Yellow Hazmat Suit replied.

“I suppose so.”

As the Xion began to move, the Scavengers’ pace quickened.

The Xion was herding them in the desired direction like a cattle drive.

Watching the Scavengers retreat into the distance, Yellow Hazmat Suit spoke into the earpiece.

“Scavenger withdrawal confirmed. Mission successful.”

Giggle giggle, once again the sound of the alien laughing came through.

– Well done, Captain Kong.
