Returner’s Magic Laundry

When the wisteria pyeongsang is called, the four roots are pulled up from the ground and they walk slowly.

“Give me this.”

At my words, the wisteria stretches out its trunks and moves the items piled up in front of the portal on the bench.

There were quite heavy items such as a washing machine and a dry washing machine, but the work was handled with ease.

“Shall we go now? to the city?”

Ariel gives her back as if to get on.

He got on easily, and Aides also called the ghost horse and finished preparations.

Cammy, cosmos, and whirlwind seem to want to follow.

"No. You guys are safe here. We have to protect the forest. Let's go, Ariel."

Ariel, who carried me, leads first, followed by the rattan bench and Aides with their luggage.

Passing through the magical forest, past the snow flower of the border, the road to the city was revealed.

The sun was seen rising in the east.

“It is morning. It’s the first time I’ve seen the sun rise here.”

[Amazing.]

Ariel, who had never seen such a sight, stopped his feet and watched the sunrise for a while in wonder.

[It's a sight you can't see in the forest by magic.]

We stayed there for a while and then set off again.

A city covered with vegetation appeared before our eyes again, and we approached the building we had longed for.

Nothing seemed to have changed from before.

I'm about to get off Ariel's back, but Ariel's ears keep pricking up.

“Ariel, why?”

[Can't you hear anything?]

“What do you mean?”

I looked around, but there was no sign of popularity, only the sound of leaves swaying in the wind.

[A crackling sound is heard.]

Ariel sniffed his nose and headed towards the forested area by the roadside.

“What are you talking about?”

Ariel's hair, which was sticking his nose in the forest, stood up, and he jumped back and hid behind me.

not suitable for the size.

“Why what?”

[What's in the forest over there!]

I looked at the forest, but I didn't feel anything moving.

“I have nothing, what? Are you kidding me again?”

He squinted his eyes and looked at him, but Ariel's expression looked serious.

He's slowly approaching him.

I put my hands in the lush leaves and walked to either side.

There was something there, as Ariel said.

“Wow, what is this? Are you an ant?”

There, not only ants but also various insects were actively moving in search of food.

[Hey, what is that?]

Come to think of it, there were no insects in the magical forest.

In this place, too, the fungi disappeared and the forest was created, so insects quickly appeared.

“He’s an ant, he’s like a stag beetle. You have horns on your head.”

[So why did it look like that?]

“Oh, this is natural. Insects originally live in the forest. Not only insects but also animals… … .”

Come to think of it, I had never seen any animals beyond the portal.

“Looking at them, I think we will see animals sooner or later.”

[Isn't it dangerous?]

"kids? none of it is dangerous Of course, it will hurt a bit if bitten.”

I left the ants and the stag beetle in their original place.

“Naturally, it is being restored at a rapid pace. Somewhere live insects appeared.”

Ariel didn't like it as much as I thought it would.

Well, I was afraid of insects when I was young.

I especially hate mosquitoes.

At that moment, I hear a noise next to my ear.

“Oh, it’s a mosquito! damage!"

Whilst in the air with his hands, he jumps into the building, and Ariel follows him without knowing the word.

Aideth pulls out his sword and swings it wildly in front of his shop.

“Mosquitoes are the scariest thing.”

He shuddered.

“Shall we go to work now? It's very dirty, so I have to clean it first. Whirlwind!”

When I shouted the summoning spell, a wind started blowing around me, and the dust inside the building was blown away.

“Now I have to mop.”

I took out a mop from among the things I had brought.

“Is there no water here?”

[There is no water.]

“I should call even a rain cloud. rain cloud!"

Then, haze began to form in the air, and rain clouds were formed, and the dry mop was sprinkled with rain and thoroughly wetted.

“Good! It was good.”

When I wiped the floor with a mop, it was revealed on the cement floor.

The floor covering the top seemed to have already rotted away.

[By the way, I think this building will collapse soon... … ]

Ariel looked up at the ceiling worriedly.

"do not worry. If you plant the vines and the roots grow, you will be able to fix the cracks firmly.”

[It's too temporary.]

“Once you do this, you have to think about the rest. I can't build new buildings right now. You just have to make the most of it.”

[Then I can't help it.]

“Shall we put things back in place now? The vine’s obsession!”

He stretched out his hand and cast the spell again, and vines grew out of his palm.

Vine picks up the objects on the bench one by one and puts them into the building.

“The washing machine is here. The table is here. Iron and ironing board here.”

A vine that is properly placed wherever instructed.

“Wow, it ended sooner than I thought. There is still a lot of empty space, but we can fill it slowly.”

I even installed a hanger on the ceiling, hung a back, and installed an electric wire.

And finally, in front of the store, I put up a sign for ‘Movie Laundry’.

“How are you?”

Ariel comes to my side and nods.

[Is it cool?]

“I said I would. Now, it's okay to complain.

When I fumbled through the walls of the building, I could find traces of where there was an outlet for plugging in.

“I knew this and brought it.”

I pulled out a portable generator from the pile of things I brought.

[What is this?]

“It turns on electricity. I need it to run the washing machine with that back.”

A generator that makes a loud noise when the switch is turned and the string is pulled.

Surprised, Ariel and Aides run out of the store.

"haha. sorry. It's a bit noisy. I'll think of another way. In any case, if you connect it here, electricity will come on.

When I plug it in and connect, the light comes on, and the washing machine also turns on.

“Okay!”

Hang one of the shirts you have prepared on a hanger and hang it on a hanger on the ceiling.

A white shirt blowing slowly in the cool breeze from outside.

“It’s kind of like a laundromat now.”

[Hmm… … I don't know why this is necessary.]

“… … Actually, I don't know either. I just wanted to do this.”

I sat down at the table and looked at the street where no one was passing.

“Being like this somehow reminds me of the first time I opened a laundromat. Back then, just like now, that ceiling hanger was empty. No one came into our laundromat, and I used to stare blankly out the window.”

[I must have been lonely.]

“No, what… … . It wasn't exactly like that. After going through a time like death in my previous life, those times could not have been so peaceful.”

Perhaps I felt pity, Ariel came and rubbed her face.

[So what are you going to do now?]

“It’s just waiting for customers like this. Until the guests come.”

[Like back then?]

“Yeah, just like that time. Oh right. I also brought flyers.”

[leaflet?]

"Huh. No customers came to the laundry, so I made flyers and distributed them here and there. That's what I wrote back then. I'll just draw a rough outline of the location here and add it."

[You mean turning this?]

“Yeah, just stick it on the wall.”

I laid out a leaflet on the table and drew a very simple schematic.

“The phone number is… … Don't just delete it, just let it go. 'Cause the phone doesn't work anyway I'll take a look and find you."

[Hmm… … .]

"Go. To take a look around. To put up flyers.”

So we left the laundromat, and we put up flyers here and there until we ran out of them.

It was around sunset when we arrived at the forest.

“Coffee harvest is over, sowing is all done, and work seems to be roughly over… … black seeds? Did the black seeds fall out?”

[Yeah, five strangely dropped today.]

Cami was lying on the floor, spreading herself like a cloth, and contained five black seeds.

“What happened? Nothing like this ever happened.”

First, I picked up five black seeds.

I picked it up one by one, but there didn't seem to be anything special about it.

At that moment, five black seeds spin in a circle, and eventually they come together.

“What, what? merged to become one.”

[It's ominous. Have you grown?]

“No, it hasn’t grown.”

As I try to pick up the seeds with my hands, the cosmos and the tornado are terrified and retreat.

“I have a lot of fear. Don't worry, we'll pass this time without a hitch."

He screams and tries to pick up the seed again, but it dents like jelly and avoids my fingers.

A seed that tries to pick it up again by applying force to it, but it changes its shape here and there and avoids cooking well.

"this!"

I'm mad at the moment, I don't know! He tries to grab it with his hand, but this time it turns into a black liquid and is sucked into the skin.

“Aww! what? Where did you go?”(Read more @ hotmtlnovel.xyz)

I turned my hand to look around, but the seeds disappeared without a trace.

I can't even feel my whole body

[I think it went into the body? Don't you feel anything?]

He stopped moving at Ariel's words and tried to feel the change in her body.

But no change is felt.

“I don’t feel anything. If it has been sowed, there should be a reaction by now. Did you disappear into my body?”

[I think so.]

“Maybe it turned into a liquid and disappeared into the forest?”

[Didn't you see it coming out of your body? Wait a little bit.]

Aides drew his sword and approached me, pointing at me.

“Oh, Aides! What are you doing?"

[Just in case.]

I looked at the children in embarrassment and fell to my seat.

“Oh, I don’t know. If you wait, it will come out. Will you be hiding forever?”

* * *

Even after waiting for 10 minutes, 20 minutes, or an hour, there seemed to be no sign of adversity.

We are tired of waiting, leaning against each other and yawning over and over again.

Only black can't stand the boredom, and he's dribbling with fallen leaves as a toy.

“I can’t. Time to go home.”

Ariel also yawned loudly while lying down, then got up.

[Seeing nothing happened, maybe it just disappeared?]

“I think so. There is no reason to hide your body yet.”

[I think those five seeds were like the last adversity of this forest.]

“The last adversity… … I think so. But why hasn't it appeared yet? Like you said, it just seems to have disappeared.”

However, I couldn't wait here indefinitely.

“Infinite space-time!”

When I summoned the portal and opened the door, I could see the living room of my house beyond the portal, and I felt a blue chill as if dawn was coming.

“The morning is coming. You must go now.”

[okay. If anything happens, call us.]

“Yes, I will.”

He moved all the beans he had harvested to the living room, said hello to the children, and closed the portal.

After staring at the closed door for a while, I looked at my hand again.

I remembered the moment when the black seed disappeared, but it was so instant that I couldn't figure out where it had disappeared.

“Where the hell did you disappear? With five seeds together, it would be a formidable opponent.”

If it was the last adversity, I wondered if I could handle it with my magic.

Standing blankly, thinking about various things, he shook his head vigorously.

“Let’s get some work done. In a little while, Nam-young should also go to work.”
