Returner’s Magic Laundry

As we headed upstairs with the laundry, Kami was sitting in front of the bedroom door and waving his tail from where he had been playing.

“Kami, where have you been? Did you play with Yongcheon?”

nyaaah~

Cami's cries, whether it was that way or not.

“I don’t think I’m too attached to the laundry these days. you know You're a laundry cat. Do people just look at you and call you Laundry Cat?”

Cami stretches her body and yawns while stretching.

“Do you want me to open the door quickly and stop talking nonsense? ok Okay.”

After she made sure nothing was missing, she called out a summoning spell.

“Infinite space-time!”

A symbol of Mugunghwa appeared on the door of the main room, and a bright light leaked out through the crack in the door.

When you open the door, you can smell the fresh forest coming in with a strong light.

“Ah, the air is nice~!”

As soon as I crossed the portal, a huge white mass jumped out and rushed towards me.

“Aww!”

Whoops!

A white mass that had grown two or three times my size hit me and I fell on the spot.

Its true nature is that it sticks out its tongue and licks my face incessantly, making it drenched in saliva.

It was Ariel.

“Ah, Ariel! That… … stop!"

Suddenly, a huge body that has grown to about three times my body size.

The cute little Ariel before that was no longer there.

[It's nice to see you.]

Ariel falls from my body and takes a step back, speaking, just like the husky voice I heard at the scene of the accident yesterday.

That wasn't the only thing that changed.

“Uh, Ariel, you’re right now. Don’t add ‘da’ at the end.”

[Huhuh.]

Come to think of it, Aides, Cosmos, Whirlwind, and Osara are standing a little farther away and watching Ariel as if they are wary.

When Kami first saw Ariel who had grown bigger, she was wary of her mandibles.

Osara, who had improved in color, seemed to have properly received the energy of the magical forest, and approached her with frequent steps.

Looking into Ariel's eyes, I could feel him avoiding it.

“Look at this, Annam-kun. I don't know if it's Ariel or what, whether it's a dog or a wolf, I don't know how surprised she suddenly grew. We were all going to die from being hit by that body. Besides, I don't know how many times Ariel attacked that skull and shattered it. Ariel has grown, but she acts like a child.”

Come to think of it, a skullcap, no, Aides has a face with a soul out.

[I like it, but you keep avoiding it.]

Ariel, who has grown up, wags her big tail and sweeps the floor, and dust continues to rise.

Collok!

“Ariel, okay. tail.”

Ariel went to the corner, twisted at my words, and curled up and lay flat on her back.

heart is weak

“Please understand. It’s because Ariel suddenly grew big and couldn’t get used to it.”

After pretending to rebuke the children, he approached Ariel who was lying down and stroked his face.

Ariel looked at me with a slightly relaxed gaze.

It was like a white, furry wolf.

His eyes were thin, sharp, and blue, but when he was angry, his eyes turned red.

Strong jaws and sharp teeth in the mouth.

The hair on the tip of his stroking finger felt rougher than smooth.

The tone of voice also changed, and maturity was oozing out of each movement without realizing it.

Ariel, who had been flirting, was now disappearing.

“Thank you for that day. No injuries anywhere.”

[Yes, no.]

He moved the hand that had been stroking his face and stroked his body, which had grown so large that he couldn't even reach his arms out.

“I can’t see the little Ariel anymore.”

[Do you hate that I changed?]

"no no. It's not like that. I thought that one day I would grow up like this. It's sudden. I also need time to adjust.”

[It's the same thing that I'm not used to.]

He leaned against Ariel's lush fur and lay down looking at the sky.

I felt a warm body temperature.

Then the other children approached with hesitation and, like me, leaned on Ariel and looked up at the sky.

Ariel is still.

“I’m going to use it as a pillow.”

Ariel is furious.

[what? Are you kidding me?]

“Heh heh.”

Leaning like this, I fall asleep easily.

“Are you going to sleep?”

“Seeing that, I’m also sleepy.”

Osara and the other children also yawned and closed their eyes one by one.

* * *

After a while, I woke up to the sensation of licking my face with his tongue.

[We are all awake. An Nam-pyo also wakes up.]

Ariel with a big face.

He flinched for a moment, but didn't budge.

‘Huh, I still can’t get used to it.’

I stretched out pretending to be nothing and got up.

“Ahh, are you awake already? I slept well after a long time. Shall we go to work now?”

The laundry was already taken by the tree fairies and they were doing the laundry loudly.

“Did the black seed come out today?”

[Yes, the black seed fell from the tree before Anna Nam-pyo came.]

At my words, the cami turned into a cloth and unfolded it, and inside it was a black seed.

“Thank you, Cammy.”

I picked it up with my hand and looked into the black seed, which I felt was slightly damp.

For a moment, water pooled in the hand holding the seed, and then it dripped down.

“Why is the water dripping?”

“What is that? Only the dark one looks ominous.”

Osara, who didn't know anything yet, asked with a curious expression.

“Black Seed. It's adversity. The challenge we have to tackle until we save this forest and it spreads across the planet.”

"adversity? If that's the case, I've already passed it on countless times in the human world beyond."

"right. But overcoming one adversity is not the end.”

“After overcoming countless adversity, I am now more confident. It doesn't matter if things get difficult now, when I think about it, there are many times when I just skip it. I wonder if there is anything more than death. Isn't it all up to you to decide?"

That was also correct.

Looking forward to seeing the Black Seed, Aedes pulls out his long sword and swings it to loosen himself up.

“Is that skeleton gourd dead and alive again?”

"Huh. He died a long time ago and was buried in the ground.”

“So are you doing that? It’s like playing a game.”

Everyone had a different view of adversity, as much as they lived themselves.

Of course, that was also the case with me after living 50 years in my previous life.

Adversity rushes in and out as if to tear my body to pieces, but as long as I don't die, that too will pass.

Thinking about it that way, it could have been nothing.

“Anyway, get ready! Sow black seeds!”

I threw the black seed I was holding onto the floor right away.

As soon as the seed disappeared into the ground, letters were scrolled in front of her.

『The second chapter of the beginning of the legend, ‘A gift from God, adversity’ begins.』

『The 4th dispatcher ‘wetter’ starts the activity.』

‘Water vortex?’

『For the forest to grow only when all the 'wetters', the 4th dispatcher, are eliminated.』

"Acknowledgment!"

Seeing where the seeds had disappeared, water began to pool and swirled and began to grow.

“The ‘wetter’… … . I think it's water this time. This is difficult.”

As the swirling water grew bigger and bigger, we all took a step back.

“I hate water… … .”

Osara and Kami looked frightened, and they both climbed onto my shoulders.

Ariel growled in front of me, but there didn't seem to be anything Ariel could do.

The whirlpool of water swelled up in an instant and overcame us.

Crackle... … .

Everything in the forest, including us, was submerged in the blink of an eye.

Everything rises and becomes entangled in a vortex.

Aides couldn't stand it any longer and the bones began to disintegrate and spin in the strong current of water.

"luck… … Crackle... … .”

I tried to call the water fairy Undine, but when I opened my mouth, the water came in and I couldn't sing.

We swirled within it as if trapped in a large drop of water.

The soil and flowers of the forest were swept up in a whirlpool, and it was difficult to see ahead due to the muddy water.

Children who struggled while holding their breath in the water lose their minds one by one and float in the water helplessly.

'No!'

Ariel and I gradually lost consciousness.

As soon as it was over, the flow of water suddenly changed and the water level began to drop.

'What?'

The whirlpool of water stopped, and the changed water was being sucked into a certain point.

This also happened in an instant, and all the water that had swept through the forest quickly drained away.

As a result, we, who were struggling in the air, fell to the floor helplessly.

“Wow, chock choke!”

When she spit the water out of her mouth and looked around, Ariel and her children had all lost their minds.

“Ariel! Come on! Cami! Calm down everyone!”

Children running around and shaking wildly, likewise spitting water and waking up.

I hear coughing all over the place.

Ai Death barely came to her senses and merged her bones.

“What happened? Where has all the water gone?”

“Wow! Collok! What the hell is this? I came, didn't I almost die?"(Read more @ hotmtlnovel.xyz)

Even Osara, who had been talking like he was arrogant earlier, shouted as if surprised.

“It’s a dangerous forest. I thought it was just peaceful... … .”

Not knowing what was going on, I looked around, and saw a huge stream of water coming out of the forest.

In front of him, he saw a silhouette guiding the waterway, and it was Undine, the water nymph.

“Lucky! It was also lucky.”

After all, water can't be beaten by Undine.

Undine is pulling water from the air with her whole body.

The whirlpool of water that reached the river moved under Undine's control and drifted away along the waterway.

“All the ‘wetters’, the 4th dispatcher, have disappeared.”

“He almost died, but it was easier than I thought.”

『The reorganization for restoration and expansion of the forest begins.』

"Look out."

Osara came to the side.

“Are you still there?”

"Huh. Just do this and you’re done.”

“I can’t possibly be in this forest. I have to go back to the laundromat.”

“What did you mean when you said that you didn’t care about adversity?”

Osara is shy.

"That… … right. okay. nothing like this I mean, go back to the laundromat. Who said you were going now?”

A huge storm approaches behind Osara, who roars loudly.

Knowing everything, we quickly climbed onto the rattan bench.

“Osara, come quickly! Otherwise, I might be blown away to Oz!”

“Oz? Oz from The Wizard of Oz? Oh, I wanted to go there too. I need a heart too... … .”

Osara turned around with a strange feeling, saw a huge storm, and ran away.

“Aaaaah! Take me!”

Osara leaps through the vines of wisteria stretching out and enveloping the bench.

“It was a great storm. This is my first experience. Live, live, see everything. I've lived too long What next?”

“Now it’s over. Just wait a little bit.”

Everyone was wet and looked like a drowning mouse.

In particular, Ariel even looked pitiful because her hair was sticking to her body.

“Ariel, come here and dry your hair.”

[Water really doesn't suit me. When you get wet, you have no energy.]

“Yes, yes. It's because you're originally a dandelion spore. Scepters cannot fly when they get wet.”

[Did I ever have such a time?]

I remember the first time I met Ariel.

She thought back then that she was only the dandelion spore that was riding on the wind and guarding this forest, but she grew so big that she could talk properly.
