The Jelly Alien Will Save You! Chapter 70

In the meantime, Gong Juwon went to check on Jaehee, who had been laid in a spare room, and came out with a startled face.

 

“Hunter Woo Jaehee… have he returned to his original form from being a Calamity?”

 

“What?”

 

Haeeon went into the room in surprise.

 

Ppyok, ppyok, ppyok, ppyok. The Jelly stealthily followed behind.

 

Haeeon examined Jaehee’s face thoroughly, turning it this way and that, before turning his gaze to Dam.

 

“Did you do this?”

 

“Of course. Who do you think I am? I’m the one and only Purifier on Earth.”

 

Dam, leaning against the doorframe, acted smug. For some reason, it was a smugness that felt even more upgraded than usual.

 

“I leveled up. Impressive, right? I’ve even gotten the hang of purification, so I’m much better at it than before.”

 

Approaching with a ppyok, ppyok, ppyok, Dam rested her hand on Haeeon’s knee and chattered away about things he hadn’t even asked.

 

Haeeon found the sight of the small, squishy thing working so hard to appeal to him cute and eventually laughed.

 

“Good job.”

 

“You really did a great job.”

 

“Hehe.”

 

Dam laughed with satisfaction.

 

It was just when Haeeon was reflexively stroking Dam’s head.

 

A hesitating Gong Juwon asked cautiously.

 

“In that case… is it possible for me to be completely purified as well?”

 

“…!”

 

The Jelly’s eyes widened, and her face brightened as she nodded repeatedly.

 

“Of course!”

 

* * *

 

As it turned out, purifying Captain Gong Juwon’s arm was a failure.

 

It was because I had used an immense amount of strength while purifying Jaehee Oppa, but for whatever reason, I became an alien who was all talk about having leveled up.

 

I woke up at the crack of dawn, feeling a bit depressed.

 

When I got up, Oppa also yawned and pulled himself up.

 

I put on my fur shoes, slipped out of the spaceship, and checked on Jaehee Oppa first.

 

Peeking through the door, I saw that Jaehee Oppa was still sound asleep.

 

Since he had been sleeping since yesterday, I considered waking him up, but Oppa shook his head in opposition.

 

Well, I suppose. There must be a reason why he’s sleeping so deeply.

 

Thinking about Jaehee Oppa, who would be flustered to meet a jelly and an octopus the moment he opened his eyes, I felt like I should let him meet an Earthling first….

 

When I came back outside, I saw that not only the house but the fields were badly damaged.

 

With a sad face, I propped up the stalks of the Galactic Two-Two Peppers.

 

“At least one stalk survived. Sturdy little thing.”

 

While I held the pepper with tears in my eyes, Frey, who was building up the collapsed wall, came over to my side. 

 

“Frey. Yesterday, I couldn’t pay any attention to you. It was very scary, right? I’m sorry.” 

 

Frey shook its head. 

 

Kind Frey. Hugging Frey tightly, I tidied up the field together with it. 

 

“That should do for the most part.” 

 

After propping up the surviving crops and thinning out the dead ones, time passed quickly, and it was time for everyone to wake up.

 

“Oof.”

 

I stood up, patting my lower back.

 

Then, before everyone gets up and things become noisy, shall we finish the important daily routine first? 

 

First, I went straight to collecting money from the vending machine. 

 

Ever since I started selling the new menu item, ramen, the vending machine business had entered a new phase.

 

It meant several times more money was coming in.

 

[Cosmic Coin Balance: 185,000cc]

 

This is it, this is what I’m talking about.

 

The pile of accumulated money lifted my spirits.

 

I could sell the Galactic Two-Two Peppers now too, but I didn’t plan on putting them out just yet.

 

It seemed better to keep the new product for trading with Shane.

 

[Are you well today, Master? (/^▽^)/] 

[May I turn on the drone today? ( ˃̣̣̥ω˂̣̣̥ )] 

[I missed you so much while the drone was off.] 

[Don’t you feel the same, Master?(ᵕ̣̣̣̣̣̣﹏ᵕ̣̣̣̣̣̣)]

 

Right on cue, the hamster sleeping in the spaceship sent a text bomb.

 

It seemed he had grown anxious because I had kept him asleep while I was busy with Jaehee Oppa’s business.

 

“No, Shane. I missed you too. I was actually waiting.”

 

Because it was time for an information exchange!

 

[Is that true?] 

[(((o(ﾟ▽ﾟ)o)))] [

I’m so happy!] 

[I’m so happy!] 

[I’m so happy!] 

[I’m so happy!]

 

“I get it, so stop getting so excited.”

 

[Yes, Master. ♥ᴗ♥] 

[But what happened to the house?] 

[May I be so bold as to ask what happened while I was away?]

 

“Some things happened…….”

 

[I see….] 

[Our relationship is still as distant as the edge of the Oort Cloud (a hypothetical group of celestial bodies thought to surround the solar system)….] 

[I will be able to reach Master’s planet someday too, right?(｡>ㅅ<｡)]

 

“Uh-huh…” 

 

I trailed off and rolled my eyes.

 

‘He really is like an otaku….’

 

Contrary to Shane’s wishes, we had grown a bit more distant.

 

Oppa must have really hated that version of Shane too, as he slapped the hamster with his tentacles.

 

[This special drone is a delicate piece of equipment!] 

[Please don’t hit it like that…….(ᵕ̣̣̣̣̣̣﹏ᵕ̣̣̣̣̣̣)]

 

“Oppa, stop it.”

 

Don’t bully the poor thing.

 

As I soothed the Dumbo octopus, Shane seemed to cheer up, sending a text with hearts.

 

[But Master! ♥~(˙Ⱉᑉ)] 

[Who is that person over there?] 

[May I offer my greetings? ✧⁺⸜( ´꒵` )⸝⁺✧]

 

“Huh?”

 

Who was he talking about? It was the moment I turned my body with a puzzled face.

 

Whoosh!

 

My body was grabbed and lifted up like a radish being pulled from the ground.

 

“…!”

 

The person who lifted me up was none other than Jaehee Oppa.

 

As I met his light brown eyes, which had thin double eyelids, my eyes wavered.

 

Gulp.

 

I reflexively swallowed hard under his gaze, which seemed to be examining me thoroughly.

 

What should I do? Should I call Bora Unnie or Cha Haeeon first? Since those two would be recognized by Jaehee Oppa immediately.

 

For now, I had to calmly ask him to let me go.

 

It would be a disaster if he mistook me for a monster and attacked!

 

“…Wh-when did you wake up?”

 

“You…”

 

Jaehee Oppa frowned while holding me. As if he were thinking about something.

 

He isn’t thinking of something strange, is he?

 

“Calm down for a second, and if you let me go, I’ll bring the others and explain everything slowly.”

 

At that moment, Jaehee Oppa, who had been staring at me for a long time, spoke.

 

“Damie?”

 

“Gah!”

 

How did he know?

 

And the words that followed from Jaehee Oppa surprised me even more.

 

“<Squishy Squishy! Planetmon!>?”

 

“…?!”
