Chapter 16

When I shouted in surprise, the scepters flew up and came back together in a ball shape.

He returned to the supple form he had before falling asleep.

Tangle Tangle~

[What? what? What’s going on?]

Ariel bouncing around her frantically.

“Aww, I thought I was dead again.”

[Surprised, surprised.]

Ariel, who had turned into a bare ball, trembled.

“Oh, sorry, sorry.”

Perhaps the cohesion decreases when sleeping.

After she saw Ariel calming down, she went to the place where she had dried the coffee.

She peeled off the skins of a properly dried coffee, washed once in water and dried again.

When I put it in two plastic bags, it was just the right amount.

She also rolled up the dry laundry and put it in the lorry.

“Ariel, I’ll be back tomorrow. Hello~”

[Come quickly, come quickly.]

“Okay.”

Watching me go and running around, I felt like I was leaving my dog ​​at home to go to work.

* * *

She started the morning again and after she swam neatly she came back.

She opened the laundry door wide and hung her laundry on a hanger outside.

A refreshing scent began to spread through the alley.

While watering the pots, the local shops also started to open one by one.

“Good morning. Good morning.”

Every time I made eye contact with the store owners, I greeted them loudly.

“Annam, you are still early. Be diligent.”

“President Pyo, take it easy.”

Everyone said a word and went into the store.

People rushing to work run to the train,

I could see the students arriving early in the morning walking one by one.

It was a familiar yet beautiful landscape.

‘I’ll have to go around the neighborhood before the customers come in.’

She took her laundry bag and left the laundromat.

‘What if I have a visitor while I’m out?’

She left almost all of her laundry on her way to work, but she was still a little worried about her.

‘From now on, I have to set a pick-up time and empty the laundry.”

Then you would know that guests would come outside of those hours.

Pickup times were set at one hour in the morning and one hour in the afternoon.

Two chairs were also provided outside the laundry for those who might be waiting.

The space in front of the laundry was a bit wide, so it might look like you were sitting in a small garden.

I made my way up the hillside of the town with peace of mind.

Not long after, I ran into an old woman coming down the hill.

“Uh, isn’t that a movie laundry?”

“Yes, that’s right.”

“I was still on my way to drop off my clothes, but it was nice to meet you.”

“That’s fortunate. Even if it was a little late, it would have been a mistake.”

Her aunt handed her her paper bag.

“She hung her clothes in the closet without even knowing it was moldy,” she said. Will mold be removed?”

“of course.”

Mold was my specialty.

Not my specialty, but that of our Magical Forest.

“Then, please.”

“Yes, I will clean it.”

She said goodbye and climbed the road again.

The road to Segye-dong was a little steep, probably because it was carved out of a mountain.

Of course, by 2020, all of this mountain will be cleared and a large apartment complex will be built on a flat land.

Whoops!

It was so steep that even a short walk had no choice but to pant.

The locals passing by don’t seem that way.

‘Ah, poor stamina.’

I was quickly drenched with sweat.

‘Are you going to give up? No, let’s climb to the top today.’

So I barely managed to climb to the highest point in town.

“Wow, it was such a good place.”

Seoul could be seen at a glance.

Clear Seoul in 1999 without fine dust.

Open your chest and breathe in the fresh air.

Next to it was a large tree and a pavilion.

Two of her grandmothers were chatting while fanning.

“Ugh, a young man has come all the way here. difficult.”

“Fine. It’s cool and nice here.”

“laundry? Are you from the laundromat?”

An old woman looked at my laundry bag and said,

“Yes, there is a movie laundromat down there.”

“Under me? We haven’t been down there in a long time. Once you go down, you can’t come up.”

I looked and saw a cane lying next to me.

The road seemed steep for the elderly who had difficulty walking on flat roads.

“Because I come here regularly. If you have anything to do, please leave it to me.”

“Where is the money for the laundromat? You just have to live like this.”

“I don’t even have the strength to do laundry.”

“Ah… … The first deposit is free.”

“free?”

Upon hearing this, the grandmothers jumped up.

With her cane on, she began walking slowly with her languid legs.

“wait here. I will bring it to you soon.”

“Are you going to do the laundry? Let’s go together. It must be heavy.”

Eventually, she went to her grandmother’s house and rolled up all the laundry.

Of course, I’m going to give it to you for free.

It looked like it had been washed for a long time, so I rolled it all up and it was quite bulky.

‘It’s too heavy.’

She had to write a ‘simulation through imagination’ that she got after sleeping in the forest last night.

She closed her eyes and imagined carrying the laundry lightly and going down.

『I use the ‘simulation through imagination’ ability.』

And when I lifted the laundry again, it became as light as a ball of cotton.

“Aww, that’s a lot of power.”

The grandmothers came out again and sat down in the pavilion.

“Yes, I will clean it up and bring it to you.”

“Thank you, bachelor.”

It was bulky, but I came down with light steps carrying light laundry.

We had to collect the laundry while going down.

I’ve been knocking on the door to get laundry, but now I’m thinking of changing the method.



“Hmm, hmm!”

I cleared her throat and looked at her.

“Laundry~ Washing~”

A voice the size of an ant came out, perhaps because of embarrassment.

“Laundry~ Washing~”

There was only silence in the alley whether or not a sound could be heard.

again!

“Laundry~ Washing~”

“If anyone hears it, they will think ants are passing by. Uncle, you can’t hear me like that.”

Surprised by the sudden interruption of the voice, I looked around and saw a kid playing in the playground.

With her bag wrapped around her, she was swinging alone.

“Huh? What? What did you say to me?”

The little boy jumped up from the swing and came up to me.

“Follow me.”

The kid stood next to me and suddenly started screaming.

“Three~ Tak~!! Three~ Tak!!”

She was startled by the loud voice.

The little boy’s voice echoed through the alley.

“Hey, kid, why are you so loud?”

“My dad goes to sharpen knives. I’ve been following along and doing a lot.”

“What a wonderful little boy. What is your name?”

“You know what your name is? It’s not like we’ll meet again.”

“Huh? Where did you learn those words?”

It wasn’t something a kid who looked like he was still only in elementary school would say something.

“That’s what my dad says to his customers every day. Oh, please follow along.”

“Ugh, that… … okay.”

“Three~ Tak~!! Three~ Tak!!”

“Three~ Tak~!! Three~ Tak!!”

Having a helper by her side gave her confidence.

“Three~ Tak~!! Three~ Tak!!”

Then I heard someone calling.

“Yongchun, what are you doing there? This bastard hasn’t even gone to school yet.”

At the sound of a middle-aged man, the kid bowed his head, sighed, and ran.

A middle-aged man who was watching the boy disappear glanced at me and went back into the house.

“Your name is Yongcheon.”

It was fun, but it was sad.

I walked down the alley screaming loudly as the kid had told me.

“Three~ Tak~!! Three~ Tak!!”

Then people started coming out one by one.

“Annam-san, I have something to do laundry here.”

“The laundry is also picked up, so it’s convenient and nice. It was uphill, so it was difficult to walk around with clothes.”

“I will pass by regularly, so please leave your clothes at that time. haha.”

“Please take care of me~”

“Yes, I will clean it.”

As I walked around the neighborhood, more laundry than I expected had gathered.

‘As expected, the laundry delivery service is well received.’

* * *

When I returned to the laundromat, there were three or three customers who had come to look for clothes.

“Ah, sorry. I went ahead for a while.”

“It’s okay. It’s like a garden, so I sat there.”

“No, did a young man grow plants so well? too pretty. The vines have grown a lot too. I think the whole building will be surrounded in a little while.”

I continued to give him water brought from the forest, and the vines were growing.

Thanks to this, the old and ugly building was being covered up.

“A building that was really ugly is transformed into something like this. It’s like a place out of a movie.”

“Thank you.”

At the praise, his shoulders rose up without realizing that he was high in the sky.

The clothes were found right away.

“Wow, your laundry skills are still good. Are these new clothes or old clothes? It smells great too.”

“Iknow, right. Sometimes it smells like oil if you dry it incorrectly.”

Every customer who visited the clothes was praised.

Money also started to accumulate at the ATM.

At this level of sales per day, it seemed similar to when my parents ran it before.

But what was better than the money was the faces of the guests who received the clothes.(Read more @ wuxiax.com)

Shin Se-yeon said that she seems like a person who is anxious to make people feel good, but I really wanted to make it that way.

If my previous life was full of irritation and anger, now I want to make everyone laugh and live a comfortable life.

But what good would it be if I was happy and the people around me were unhappy?

However, there was no reason to deliberately avoid money.

In the life I have lived, many reasons why people feel good or bad were ‘money’.

Don’t they say we cry over money and laugh at money?

Money isn’t everything, but I thought it should be the basics.

I roughly organized the laundry that I had collected while walking around the neighborhood.

‘Oh, I should bring the mart aunt’s clothes too.’

I took out the lady’s coat, smelled the scent, and put it in the laundry plastic bag.

But isn’t the mart across the street waiting for a signal?

She beckoned as she looked at me and asked me to be there.

‘Are you coming to pick it up yourself?’

Her aunt always wore only red lipstick without her make-up on her face, which gave a strong impression on her small and chubby body.

She was a college student and she had one son and one daughter, but she had never seen it in the supermarket.

The mart aunt she’d been looking at for several months always opens at dawn and closes after 12 o’clock.

The old woman worked with almost no days off, even on holidays.

She may be the best in the neighborhood to be diligent.

As her signal changed, her aunt ran vigorously with her chubby legs.

“I would bring it to you.”

“Huh? no. I’m waiting for you to come and I’m curious. A lot of customers these days are talking about your laundry.”

“Ah yes.”

“Is this?”

The old woman pointed to the clothes I was holding.

“Yes, I am here.”

Her eyes widened as the old woman was examining her washed coat.

“Oh, is this mine? The soft feel is so good. As rumored.”

“haha. Do you like it?”

“Then, the scent that makes you feel good… … Are you smarter than your father?”

“What.”

“How much is the coat?”

“It’s eight thousand won.”

“I’m here.”

“The first laundry is free.”

“No, it’s okay for me. Have you been eating well? I’m busy, so I can’t bring you a meal. Your mother used to come here every day to eat.”

“Fine.”

He didn’t eat well, but he didn’t miss the meal.

Toast and fruit for breakfast, ramen for lunch, dinner… … .

After all, I eat ramen a lot.

“Wait here for a second. I’ll go and get something.”

“No, thanks.”

Despite my reluctance, the aunt ran to the mart.
