Returner’s Magic Laundry

Chapter 144

“Are you going to work these days?”

In order not to be rude to my question, I carefully looked at Mr. Jang Seok-go's complexion and asked.

Fortunately, he didn't seem offended or offended by my questions.

“Today? That's right, what. There is a thing called construction work, and it doesn't. When I am not there, I am not enough to starve to death, but when I am there, I am rushed to the point of death.”

“We are looking for someone to work for our laundry. I wanted to ask if Jang Seok-go has any plans to try it. I have a lot of work to do, so I’m thinking of hiring a full-time employee.”

“Laundry? If you are a full-time employee, you can get medical insurance or something like that?”

"Yeah."

"Ah… … I want to, but can I? I have rough hands, so I am not good at sensitive work.”

“You just do what you can. That alone is a lot of work.”

“I’m very shy, so if guests come, I won’t be able to do as much as that person over there.”

At the end of Jang Seok-go's gaze, Gangnam-young was smiling while receiving his guest's clothes.

“Our laundry doesn’t do well because of Gangnam-young’s gag.”

“That, though… … .”

“You’re just looking for reasons not to keep going. I'm making this suggestion because I think Jang Seok-go would be suitable. You still have some time, so think slowly. Grandma Kim is also getting worse and worse now, so wouldn't it be better to take care of her if she works at the laundry?”

“It is.”

He seemed to know what Jang Seok-go was thinking.

He's afraid that he'll ruin a good relationship for nothing, and that people will disappoint him.

He's been seen a lot in people with low self-esteem.

So I wanted to give it enough time.

“Are you going to quit now?”

“Yes, I passed the civil service exam. And even if he's not a civil servant, he can inherit his father's laundromat."

“Are you the son of the laundromat? But why here... … ?”

“That’s it. Whoops.”

“Let's think about it. It’s because I’m not good at getting along with people.”

“Yes, please think about it and let me know.”

“Yes, thank you. Please give me this suggestion.”

“I am grateful. Actually, according to the real estate boss Kim, the price of Grandma Kim's house has risen a lot. I had no choice but to buy the house, but I feel sorry for it.”

“I’m sorry.”

“I can't resell the house, but I think I can offer a job. And I have plans to open a laundromat in the future... … . You need someone you can trust.”

“Hey, can I trust you?”

“I will judge that. If you are interested in working at a laundry, wouldn't it be nice if you could learn something while working together? Laundry work is not a socially recognized profession, and it is by no means easy to deal with clothes that people value.”

"Yeah… … I'm more worried about it. But it's too good an offer for me to decline... … You still have time, so I'll think about it carefully."

“Yes, thank you.”

Jang Seok-go got up and took a look around the laundry and garden.

Then he lowered his head and smiled.

“Why are you laughing?”

“Oh, I’m sorry. even I did not know. When I think of myself working in such a beautiful place, it feels like something doesn't suit me. I thought that all I could do was work on a dreary construction site, covered in dust. When I see myself soaked in sweat after work is reflected in the mirror, this life will be like this forever... … I used to go home with that thought.”

In my previous life, I also worked on a construction site to pay off a debt I owed for film production.

There were times when I was afraid that the moment would last forever.

But I met a lot of nice people there.

Without them, I might have had bad thoughts sooner.

I've heard a lot of advice in life, but I had no choice but to get out of it, so I couldn't afford to take their advice seriously.

“Life is painful if you think it is painful, and pleasant if you think it is pleasant.”

That's what an old man I met at a construction site at that time told me.

The man who fell from a high place while working and injured one leg and was limping, but he was always smiling.

“I think this laundry, which people think is beautiful, is hell if you think it’s painful, and if you think it’s fun to work in a dust pit, it’s heaven.”

"haha. A young man says all those things.”

‘Because I have lived my life for fifty years.’

Jang Seok-go said he would think about it again and went back, but he seemed to have already made up his mind.

The reason you don't accept it right away may be because of your pride as a last bastion.

“What did you say?”

Gangnam-young looked curious all day, but before leaving work, he couldn't help but ask a question.

maybe he was guessing

“After Namyoung leaves, I’m going to hire Jang Seok-go.”

Gangnam-young with sad eyes.

“I don’t want to stop doing it all the time. Save me after I leave.”

It's a fight that doesn't look like Gangnam-young.

“Why are you acting like a child?”

“Oh, I don’t know!”

Gangnam-young speaks a nervous tone and runs away.

Whoa, that's cute.

I went outside and watched him run to the subway station with a chubby body, and saw him disappearing down the subway stairs and came in.

‘Yeah, what?’

He came in and, feeling as if he had seen something, went out again.

As he looked up at the world wing, he noticed an unfamiliar flame and black smoke spreading in the dark night sky.

And the screams resounding throughout the world.

- Fire! fire! Someone please report it!

‘Fire?’

Without even closing the laundry door, I ran towards the flames.

A fire engine siren can be heard in the distance.

As we climbed the hill, people flocked to it and it was a mess.

There were also a few acquaintances among them.

“Honey, be careful!”

The voice of Aunt Purne Mart.

Her gaze was directed at Mr. Yoo, who was pumping water with a bucket in the roaring flames.

“Mom, what’s going on?”

“Oh, no. how do you do this The fire started on the first floor and is spreading upstairs. Why isn't the fire engine coming like this?"

Suddenly, a gust of wind blew and the fire began to spread to the neighboring building, and the trees that had grown thick began to catch fire.

The building that caught fire was an old villa that you can often see in the World Building.

‘Is this going to get out of hand?’

The sirens were heard, but the fire engine showed no sign of arriving.

Reluctantly, I ran down and checked it, and cars parked on both sides of the alley were blocking the entry of the fire engine.

The police called the owner and demanded that the car be removed, but it seemed it would take some time for the situation to settle.

‘Hey, can’t we just push all the cars and come back?’

The fire seems to be spreading all over the town right now, but I was just frustrated as to why it was so aesthetically pleasing.

I ran back to the fire.

“Oh, no. There's someone over there!"

If you look up at the words of the mart aunt, you see a child and a mother on the 5th floor veranda.

The flames were already about to engulf the fifth floor, and the veranda looked dangerous.

Many people brought water from the house and poured it on the fire, but the fire was so strong that it had no effect.

'ratio… … It must rain first.’

But there are too many people.

Back and forth, many people watched the flames with worried eyes.

I hid myself in a dark alley, far away from the crowd to use my magic.

To cast a summoning spell, I spread my palms, and at that moment, something wrapped around my wrist and snatched me from behind.

“Ah!”

There was a sound of broken arms and twisted joints, and I let out a short scream of pain involuntarily.

I stumble a few steps backwards, and then I can barely focus and look behind me, and I see the identity of something wrapped around my arm.

‘Is this the stem of a plant?’

I could see the leaves growing slowly from the stem that wrapped around my wrist.

'what?'

The stem continued into the darkness of the alley, and as I gazed into the darkness, the sound of footsteps slowly coming out.

“Annam, can I handle the fire?”

The main character of the voice was the owner of a flower shop.

I guessed... …

She was somehow different.

She looked like a completely different person with her red lipstick and black eye makeup on her eyelids.

She wasn't too sexy for my taste, so it just looked like an older aunt with heavy makeup to fit her squat.

But she didn't like the way she looked like herself, so she raised her head and looked down at her, and walked over in long boots that didn't suit the weather. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

Her hair, which was usually tied tightly, was loosened and fluttered in the wind.

Thousands of plants grew and bloomed behind his back, making him look like a peacock with its colorful tails spread out.

Her plants grew quickly when she was excited, increasing the volume of her body.

Whether it's for attack or defense, it's not yet clear how she looks.

The way she was exposed in the light of the roaring flames was too blatant, and there were a lot of people just a little behind me, so I was worried that anyone would see it.

'bamboo!'

Then, at the entrance of the alley, bamboo grows in an instant, creating a wall between people.

“Fufu, who wants to see?”

Her smile was the same as usual, but today she looks somewhat mean.

I don't feel good.

“Gee, what are you doing now? Can't you put this down right now? Shy blade!”(Read more @ hotmtlnovel.xyz)

When I cast the summoning spell, the cherry blossoms flew, and in an instant, it turned into a sharp blade and tore the stems that bound my hands.

After my hands were freed, I turned to the fire again, but had to stop again as a seed that was about to fly started to germinate right in front of my eyes.

The germinated plant grew into a 'dracaena draco', which became a sharp blade and aimed at my neck.

“I don't have time for this! Can't you see that fire?"

The fire engine had not yet come near the fire, and on the veranda on the 5th floor, a mother holding a child was crying.

“I see. If you stay still... … I put out the fire.”

“What the hell… … ! This, once I knew. Then you have to do something!”

She didn't have time to quarrel with her anymore, so she decided to just hang out and see what she said.

“Look. Annam.”

She had no idea what the hell she was thinking.

The florist seemed to run towards the flames, and a plant wrapped around her stretched out a stem and wound onto the railing of a tall building, which towed her into the air.

Just as Spider-Man stretched out her cobwebs and roamed freely through her air, so too, she stretched her plant stems to and fro, and flew swiftly towards the flames.

As I tried to move, the dracaena draco's blade pointed at my neck.

Her magic could have solved her soon enough, but she decided to keep an eye on her for the first time in her life.

I didn't know that no one would be able to put out the fire if I kept interfering.

A florist who flies above people and heads towards the flames.

‘No, what if people see it.’

The eyes of her people were already on her floating in the air.

-Uh, what's that?

- Aren't you human? are you flying?

She had to block the gazes of her people who murmured her looking at her.

“Dreamer Sunflower!”

Sunflowers grow and bloom around the summoning spell.

“Don’t let her be in the public eye.”
