The Jelly Alien Will Save You!
Episode 82
Just then, the sound of tapping roof tiles from above stopped.
Jae Hee poked his face out and looked down below.
“Hey youngest, do you want to use this for interior decoration too? It looks like something you’d like.”
It was a pretty fallen leaf he had picked up from the roof.
It was contaminated, wriggling slightly in Jae Hee’s hand.
“Oh!”
I thought it would look pretty after purification, so I reached out with both hands to receive it.
Chae Heon pressed down on my head firmly with his large hand. Ack!
“Stop giving her trash. She’ll develop weird habits.”
“Heon, don’t you have any romance?”
“Trash doesn’t have romance to begin with.”
Jae Hee clicked his tongue with an expressionless face. For some reason, he also muttered, “He’s going to get dumped at this rate.”
And I got a bump on my chin. Hiss. I glared with my eyes narrowed into triangles.
“…Nagging pest.”
Gyeol seemed to agree as he bounced up and down on my head.
Chae Heon ended up taking out all the precious souvenirs and interior decorations from my spaceship, wrapping them in plastic bags and tying them up tight.
“Go throw this away.”
I trudged down from the wooden floor, suddenly stuck with garbage bags. My spaceship was shrunk small and clutched tightly in my hand.
How frustrating.
Puff puff puff.
I’ll get revenge someday.
Puff puff puff.
As I trembled and moved around, Kwon Bora chuckled and bent down in front of me.
“Dam, want to go with me? While we’re at it, let’s do some laundry too.”
I looked up at her with a dejected expression and nodded.
“Sorry, Older Sister. I should have fixed the washing machine sooner…”
Due to house repairs from the recent battle, washing machine repairs kept getting pushed back. (There was a cooldown on ‘decorating’.)
“It’s okay. We only have a washing machine thanks to our Dam anyway.”
She smiled and crossed the courtyard, holding laundry in one hand and me in the other.
Kwon Bora’s warm touch made my sadness subside a little.
As I hugged the garbage bag again, Kwon Bora glanced at it and said,
“He could have let you keep at least one. Heon was a bit too strict.”
“Yeah, Chae Heon is a total tyrant.”
At my response, she giggled, and Chae Heon, who was mopping the floor on the wooden platform, shouted, “I can hear everything!”
Bleh, you nagging pest.
After leaving the house, we arrived at a small stream nearby.
Perhaps because it was the calm before the storm, the water was still, and the sky reflected on the surface was unrealistically blue.
I glanced sideways at her and picked up a piece of laundry, carefully soaping it.
Gyeol helped me by soaping together.
I watched the Black Octopus and then picked him up to scrub the clothes.
Oh! The dirt comes off much better. Is it because of the suction cups?
Kwon Bora looked at Gyeol, whose eyes had gone X_X, and laughed awkwardly.
“…Um, Dam. Is the guild master okay?”
“Huh? He’s fine though?”
I showed her that Gyeol’s suction cups were perfectly fine.
Eventually, Kwon Bora burst into laughter.
“Ahaha! Shi Hyeon should have seen this!”
Shi Hyeon was someone who was serious about teasing guild members, so she definitely would have been delighted to see us, especially Gyeol’s appearance.
Suddenly, the strength left Gyeol’s body. He seemed worried about Shi Hyeon.
I also thought about Shi Hyeon and muttered quietly.
“…Yoo Seong Woo must be protecting Shi Hyeon, right?”
“Yeah, he will be. He’s such a reliable person.”
We forgot to speak for a moment and looked at the flowing stream.
With Yoo Seong Woo’s strength and Shi Hyeon’s intuition, they were surely holding up well.
If Shi Hyeon were here, she would have looked at Gyeol and mischievously teased, “Guild master, did you get a job as Dam’s exclusive washing brush?”
Then suddenly, she looked up at the sky.
“Dam.”
“Yeah?”
“Let’s go back.”
The sky that had been clear just moments ago was now cloudy.
Wind blew.
Rustle.
The water surface trembled subtly. Ripples spread at regular intervals.
At the same time, a very faint sound was heard.
It was a strange resonance that sounded like singing, or perhaps like wind.
As if someone was calling me from far away.
“Older Sister, don’t you hear a strange sound?”
“Sound?”
“Yeah. Like singing.”
Kwon Bora listened for a moment then shook her head.
“I don’t hear anything?”
I listened again.
The singing was definitely audible. And strangely, that sound was gradually becoming clearer.
Then, Gyeol suddenly stiffened.
Pop.
His suction cup gripped me tightly. That was Gyeol’s danger signal.
That was the moment.
-Aaaaaaaah!
The sky crumpled like paper and screamed. It was closer to a chorus of voices than a scream.
‘Singing?’
I looked up at the sky as if entranced.
From every crack in the crumpled space, a bizarre melody that seemed to layer thousands of voices poured down.
-Aaaaaaaaaaah!
As the sky sang, the air rippled.
Every time the high notes soared, the air pressure twisted sharply, and along the twisted cracks, a massive whirlwind began to form.
The song was creating a storm.
‘This is the contamination storm?’
I didn’t know it would look so beautiful and magnificent…
But that made it even more eerie, so I stepped back several steps, feeling tense.
Pyo pyo puff…
That’s when I realized.
Something inside my body was vibrating in tune with the singing.
‘What, what is this?’
My heart pounded violently due to the unknown resonance.
She tried to grab my hand. But my body floating up came first.
“Dam!”
Kwon Bora reached out to catch me, but my body flew upward instantly like a balloon that had lost its string.
-Aaaaaaaaaaah!
As the song from the sky reached its peak, the wind began to swirl.
My body, resonating with the song’s waves, became lighter than a balloon and shot straight toward the eye of the storm.
The ground beneath my feet grew distant and Older Sister became smaller and smaller. I could see Chae Heon and Older Brother Jae Hee coming out to the courtyard after hearing the commotion.
Black Octopus raised all its suction cups and clung tightly to my head, trying not to fall off me.
‘Aaaahhhhh-!’
My body spun wildly as if I had entered a giant washing machine.
Tumble tumble. Tumble tumble.
Just when I thought I was going to die like this.
My spinning body was caught by something and came to an abrupt stop.
“…!”
I barely managed to open my dazed eyes.
What had caught my body in the storm was a giant hand that emerged from the sky.
The giant hand Xion that had been moving the bus was holding me.
I blinked blankly.
“Th, thank you….”
The giant hand raised its thumb and briefly rubbed my head.
I grinned widely at that gesture of affection.
It seemed I was seeing the benefits of building up intimacy here.
