Returner's Magic Laundry

Chapter 50

『Chapter 1 ‘Prologue for a New Beginning’ begins.』

‘New beginning?’

『Your friend Lv.1 approval is required.』

“Are you sure you want to?”

I wondered what would happen if I didn’t approve.

Then, as if reading my thoughts, letters appeared in front of me.

『If you do not approve, the start of the legend will be canceled and the forest will be absorbed into the world of destruction.』

‘A forest into a world of destruction? are you going to disappear? So what about Ariel? A portal too?’

The forest no longer answered.

Now, without Ariel, I couldn’t have imagined that this forest would not exist.

Ariel was looking at me with an innocent face under my feet.

Camidos, whirlwinds, cosmos, laughing corn, angry kidney beans, shy cherry blossoms were all as important as the beings beyond the portal.

There was no reason to hesitate in answering.

“Yes, OK!”

『Friend Lv.1 approved.』

『Forest upgrades the qualification of Friend Lv.1 to Friend Lv.2.』

『According to your friend’s approval, the ‘Prologue for a New Beginning’ begins.』

“Look out.”

“Huh? Be careful?”

[careful?]

“What do you mean to be careful about?”

[I do not know.]

We were all bewildered, but for a moment, the ground began to shake as if there had been an earthquake.

“Uh, why is this happening?”

“For a new beginning, the forest is reorganized.”

As soon as the letters in front of them appeared and disappeared, thin rays of light rose from the ground.

Not only in the ground, but also in the corners of trees, under the leaves of plants, and even the small lights that existed somewhere in my body.

The lights that floated in the air began to gather on the big tree in the middle of the forest.

All the light that existed in the forest was absorbed by the big tree as if it were being sucked away.

The rest of the world was enveloped in pitch black darkness.

All the plants turned their heads towards the light shining like the sun.

We, too, had no choice but to look at the huge light as if possessed.

Suddenly, as if time had stopped, all movements stopped.

The cherry blossom leaves that were blowing, the popcorn fried in the laughter of corn, and the leaves swaying in the wind slowly stopped.

It was more like stillness, stillness, and suffocation rather than stopping.

It was like the sound of footsteps my parents used to walk while holding my breath to keep me from waking up as a child.

For a moment, the ground shook again, and the light wrapped in the big tree began to expand as if it would explode.

“Uh, I’m nervous. Guys, there’s something to catch around here!”

[Catch!]

Ariel and the children all came towards me and grabbed my leg.

Cammy climbed on my body and felt it tremble as she rested on her shoulder.

The cosmos fit snugly into my pants crotch, and the whirlwind clings to my body.

“Hey, catch something like that tree over there, not me!”

They couldn’t hear me.

I had no choice but to go to the side of a big tree and hold it tight.

The vibrations of the ground became more intense and it expanded like a burst of light, and eventually it spread in the shape of a large band and passed through the forest.

A ring of light passed us and away from the forest.

And… … .

Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa!

I could see great winds and sandstorms coming from the forest, with the sound of an earthquake.

“Ahhh, be careful!”

[Careful!]

All I could do was hold onto the tree so I wouldn’t get carried away by the storm.

Something immediately came to mind, so I summoned and absorbed the Wind Flower.

『Windflower can block the attack of fungal spores for 2 hours.』

‘It can prevent mold spores as well as dust.’

As soon as the windflower engulfed me and my children, a huge sandstorm swept through.

“Ahhhh!”

My body could not withstand the sandstorm and floated in the air.

The wind flower only kept the dust away, but it couldn’t stop the raging wind.

Only his hand was holding a small tree, and his body was fluttering in the air like a fluttering flag attached to a flagpole.

Ariel and Cosmos were barely hanging from my toes, and the hand holding me was slipping.

My hands also lost their strength and seemed to be swept away by the wind.

A hand fell helplessly from the tree, and the body of a whirlwind that seemed to be blown away touched its tip.

At that moment, a light flashed from his hand, and the body of the whirlwind began to grow huge.

It was seen that the rotational force was strong enough to overcome a gust of wind from the forest.

The whirlwind landed in front of us effortlessly, and started spinning with great rotational force.

It’s getting bigger and bigger, and it’s turning into a giant tornado you’ve only seen on TV.

The whirlwind is a strong rotational force that absorbs all the wind from the forest and redirects it to the other side.

Thanks to that, we were able to set our feet on the ground again.

But the momentum of the tornado was not too strong

In an instant, the cami turned into a slime, spread out and wrapped around us, blocking the wind.

‘Kami… … .’

We hid behind a large tornado and waited for the wind to stop.

Looking to the other side of the forest, a huge sandstorm was sweeping away through the fungal forest.

‘Awesome!’

The storm cleared the fungal forest and disappeared after a long distance.

In the ground where the fungus had been swept away, the seeds that were blown by the wind were lodged in the ground and new leaves sprouted.

The creek in the middle of the forest grew bigger and bigger and spread out to every corner of the forest, forming several streams.

Plants sucked up the water and did not stop growing.

“Wow, that’s great.”

It was different from the expansion of the forest with music that we had seen before.

After a few minutes of doing so, the wind and sandstorm subsided and the forest grew quieter and quieter.

The tornado gradually diminished and returned to its original form, and the cami returned to its cat form.

“Is it all over now?”

[Is it all over?][Cosmos?]

“Hey~?”

“Wee ing~ wiing~?”

Everyone made a sound and looked around.

The large tree in the middle of the forest was also much larger than it had been known and stretched out its branches magnificently.

The number of tree fairies that flew around the big tree also increased to an immeasurable number.

As the forest grew, so did the blue sky, and the pouring sunlight was illuminating every nook and cranny of the forest.

“Thanks to the whirlwind, Cammy. Thanks to you, I didn’t fly and survived well.”

“Wee ing~ wiing!”

[Forest grows bigger. It gets very big.]

“I didn’t even think of such a thing.”

Besides, it wasn’t just that the forest grew bigger.

The trees that I randomly planted were relocated and reorganized.

“It feels like the forest has been cleaned up to make it bigger.”

The fungal forest now seemed far away in the distance.

“I think it would be difficult to see all of this forest on foot now.”

Then Ariel saw something and shouted.

[See over there. I see you there.]

“Why? What?”

Ariel was pointing to the creek where we played, and there was a white cotton ball floating like a mist.

“What is that?”

[Like a cloud.]

As Ariel said, something like a really small cloud was sucking up the water from the creek.

When it sucked up the water, it darkened and looked heavy, like a wet cotton ball, and it moved into the forest and started spraying it with water. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

It was pouring water like rain from a cloud.

After all the water was sprayed, the clouds turned white again, and they went back to the creek or went to the side of the abundant leaves of a large tree to rest.

The big tree felt like a garage for the clouds.

“There are clouds. Now I don’t have to work hard to get water.”

When I looked under the big tree, many lights were twinkling from the floor.

“What is shining over there? Let’s go.”

[I see.]

When I went, the twinkling lights on the floor were the seeds of the root that had fallen from a large tree.

“Wow, it fell a lot.”

[many. many.]

As I gathered her seeds, Kami turned into her slime, spreading herself out like a cloth.

“Hey~”

“Huh? What? Put the seeds there? Are you going to eat it all up again like last time?”

“Wow, uh, uh…”

seemed to say no.

“Yeah, trust me just this one time.”

I kneaded the seeds with water, wind and sunlight and then threw them over the slime.

Anyway, it was a bit difficult to put the seeds of the kneaded root in a pocket.

Cami, who had received the seeds, closed her body as if wrapped in a cloth, put the seeds in her body, and turned into a cat again.

“I think you ate it? Take it out again.”

Then, Kami turned into a slime again and spread out her body like a cloth.

Her seeds were still there.

“Oh, okay. Cammy. It is very useful.”

I checked once more for any uncollected seeds, and near the big tree, I could see something like blackish darkness flickering at the base of the tree.

“What is that?”

As I approached, Ariel grabbed my body.

Looking down at Ariel like that, her pupils were enlarged, and her body seemed to be trembling a little.

[touch. hate.]

“Why? Let’s just check what it is.”

[scary.]

Ariel seemed to be feeling something.

“OK. I’m with you.”

He pushed away Ariel and headed there.

When I got closer, I saw something like a small black marble in the misty darkness.

It looked the same as the seed of the source, but it just didn’t glow.

I picked up the seeds carelessly.

“Is it rotten?”

Like other seeds, it was exposed to soil, water, wind, and light, but all of them were absorbed.

“It’s unfortunate. You’ll find out when you sow. what.”

Ariel looked at me with a look that couldn’t be helped.

[Can not help it. can not avoid.]

“What are you talking about, Ariel? You have to speak so you can understand.”

[The forest grows bigger. Can not help it.]

He just kept muttering to himself and fidgeting around me.

“By the way, we should go to the forest border, but it’s too far away. It will take a long time to walk.”

Hearing my words, the whirlwind speeded up again and grew in size.(Read more @ wuxiax.com)

Then, as if to get on his own body, he made a seat.

“You want to ride here?”

“Whew-wheeing-”

“Aren’t you being swept away by something wrong?”

Though suspicious, he had no choice but to climb and ride.

I climbed safely first, and everyone followed and took a seat next to me.

It was more comfortable than expected.

“Let’s go!”

The whirlwind leapt once, as if it knew, and flew swiftly across the forest to the border with the fungal forest.

Seen from above, the forest looked orderly as if it had been cared for by someone’s will.

There were also pines and acacia trees that had grown thick like a tent next to a large tree.

‘You said that two of the ten items needed for the forest were satisfied. So you need eight more?’

I didn’t know what it was, but I thought it would be one of the things I would bring in the future.

We arrived at the border of the forest and a whirlwind brought us down.

“But what happened to the baby forest you planted first?”

[There, there!]

Looking at where Ariel was pointing, the baby forest was growing well in the corner, as if it had merged as the original forest grew.

“Because it would be nice to get bigger and combine. Now I have to shoot them all away.”

[good. good.]

“Ilyappa’s slingshot!”

With my summoning order, a slingshot appeared like a hologram in front of my eyes.

『Ilyappa’s slingshot level will rise.』

『It is redesigned in a shape suitable for Friend Lv.2』

First, as usual, I grabbed the slingshot in my hand.

Then the slingshot was engulfed in the light and created a silhouette that was different from before.

As the light disappeared, it was not a slingshot that was roughly cut out of wood, but a slingshot with a very colorful shape that looked like even a craftsman’s hand was rough.

“Wow, that’s cool.”

[Awesome~!]

“Uh, but there’s no rubber?”

[Seed, put it in.]

“Okay. Give me the Camiya seeds.”

Then Cami turned into a cloth and showed her the seeds.

When he picked up one of them and held it to his slingshot, a golden light came out and gathered to form a long string.

I pulled the seed and the light at the same time and then shot it into the air.

It felt like it was flying far away at a speed that could not be compared with the original slingshot.

“Wow, that’s great.”

Other seeds were also shot by changing positions.

Then, as seeds were sown in the fungal forest, several pillars of light were formed.
