The Jelly Alien Will Save You!
Episode 83
However, I couldn’t feel completely at ease yet.
Though the giant hand had caught me, it was also being swept along by the storm.
My ears flapped in the fierce wind. I held Older Brother tightly in my arms so he wouldn’t fall.
‘Where are we going?’
The storm was moving me somewhere as if it had a destination in mind.
I opened my survival handbook to check the map.
“…!”
I was shocked to see where we were heading.
We were going west.
“Wait…!”
While I was panicking, devastated cities and forests passed below us.
And in the distance, I could see an area covered in black mist.
It was West City.
I could see a massive tower standing tall in the center of downtown. It looked as if it was drawing the contamination storm toward itself.
I desperately shook my head.
“No! I can’t make such a flashy entrance without any preparation!”
Flying to West City like this? It was practically the same as telling Yellow Hazmat Suit to come catch me right away.
But cruelly, the storm showed no signs of stopping.
“Aaaaaaaah!”
Just as I was screaming even more desperately than before.
Suddenly the spaceship wriggled, and Ain poked out his head.
Yeonjam tilted his head and asked.
“My god, are you in such trouble?”
“…!”
He can talk even though he became a Wuparupa?
But our Older Brother who’s a Black Octopus can’t?!
Anyway, I nodded my head.
“I’m in trouble! I’m in trouble! I can’t fly to West City like this! I should be going there quietly without anyone knowing!”
Then Yeonjam nodded.
“I understand.”
Suddenly lightning-like light swirled around the Wuparupa, and the Wuparupa transformed into a boy.
The boy sat stably on the giant finger and extended his pale hand.
At that sight, I couldn’t help but scream.
“You can become human too?!”
But our Older Brother who’s a Black Octopus can’t?!
“My god says quite amusing things. Isn’t it natural?”
The Beautiful Boy smiled slightly. Then he firmly grasped my hand and looked at the storm.
The boy’s moon-like silver eyes flashed.
“Don’t worry. On this wind current, we can go anywhere.”
Yeonjam lightly scratched the air with his finger. As if drawing a line on water.
Then the air in the storm split as if being torn.
Swoosh-
The space before my eyes opened like a thin membrane.
I opened my eyes wide.
“Huh?”
Through that gap, I could see a different landscape.
A sky without storms.
Swirling cherry blossoms.
People moving about calmly.
“I’ll let you enter this place quietly as you wish.”
“Eh?”
When Yeonjam gently pulled my hand, Prey let me go.
And.
Thud.
We fell through that gap.
The sound of the storm disappeared instantly.
* * *
When the contamination storm approached the tower, it was sucked in without a trace.
Thus West City became quiet. As if nothing had happened.
Yeonjam said it seemed the contamination storm had resonated with my heart while seeking purification.
But since the contamination storm had disappeared into the tower, there was no way to purify it even if I wanted to.
‘You should have spoken instead of singing.’
It was regrettable.
For both the storm and me.
I was sitting with my spaceship spread out in a corner of the city sidewalk.
This place was spring with cherry blossoms blooming profusely.
Ordinary people moved busily in front of me. Children ran, and parents hurriedly chased after them.
Naturally, my eyes wavered.
How could this be? Ordinary people?
Weren’t only people with holes in their faces supposed to walk around in anomalous phenomena?
Moreover….
My eyes met with some passing students.
“Hmm…. What a cute puppy.”
“Right. So cute. The puppy is even wearing an octopus hat.”
“…?”
I wanted to ask if they really thought that, but I held back.
Because they placed a sausage in front of me to eat.
“Eat well. Hmm, cute puppy.”
“Bye bye!”
I waved my hand back at them. The students giggled.
Is this a world where it’s okay for dogs to wave their hands?
I blinked my eyes and looked at the tower standing tall in the city center.
To think there was such a peaceful city inside the Contaminated Area.
It was unbelievable, but I was seeing it with my own eyes.
‘What exactly is this place?’
I peeled the sausage wrapper and gave one to Older Brother, one to Yeonjam, then ate one myself while pulling the spaceship into the alleyway.
A strategy meeting was needed.
“Yeonjam, can’t we really go back to our house? Can’t you teleport like before?”
The Wuparupa was munching on the sausage and said calmly.
“Since the wind current has stopped, what can be done? Even ascension has its limits.”
I became gloomy and sadly stuffed the sausage into my mouth.
Everyone must be very worried.
I need to find a way to return quickly.
Then, a cherry blossom petal fell with a tap onto the Wuparupa’s head.
I stared intently at the Wuparupa.
I definitely saw it earlier. That unbelievable scene where this creature that was a cute Wuparupa transformed into a dazzling silver-haired boy.
“Um, Yeonjam.”
“What is it?”
Yeonjam looked back at me while swallowing the sausage.
“You did turn into a human earlier, right?”
Then Yeonjam nodded.
“I briefly took human form.”
It was as if it was no big deal.
Come to think of it, even when Yeonjam was the Millennium Carp, it had separated part of its main body to change into human form.
Even after becoming a Planetmon, wouldn’t the principle be the same?
I swallowed my saliva and looked up at Older Brother who was on top of my head.
Older Brother was tilting his head while nibbling on his sausage, as if he didn’t understand why I was staring at him.
“Then… could me and my Older Brother also change like that? Into humans?”
At my question, Yeonjam stopped eating the sausage and quietly stared at me.
Older Brother also stopped eating his sausage and twitched his tentacles.
“Doesn’t my god already possess a sufficiently noble form? Why would you covet that inconvenient and weak human shell?”
I looked down at my body.
Even if humans are weak, wouldn’t they be stronger than me?
Even my original terminally ill body would probably be stronger than my current self.
I shook my head as if shaking off the thought. Then I spoke seriously.
“Yeonjam, this place has my enemies.”
“Enemies?”
“Yeah. So I need to find a way to escape from this place without being noticed. Our current appearances are… too suspicious as a dog and octopus.”
“Was that the case…”
Yeonjam seemed lost in thought for a moment as it looked up at the sky where cherry blossoms were scattering.
“For that bizarre octopus, taking human form wouldn’t be impossible.”
“Really?”
I was so surprised that I raised my voice a little.
“Older Brother can do it? He can become human?”
