Returner’s Magic Laundry

I went to another table and looked at the man's face for a while, then looked at the people around me.

They all had cigarettes in their mouths, and their burning throats were moistened with the alcohol from the glass next to them.

Some cheered as to whether they had won the money, and some today picked up the tile that was turned in front of them with a distorted face in despair.

Some people who lost all their money were often seen being dragged away by men in black suits.

There is no one looking at me even when I scream.

People who fell into their game with a soul out of their faces as if it was nothing like that.

It was a different world that I had never experienced in my past life or my next life.

I got up from my seat and headed to the door in the corner pointed to by the man earlier.

It was called a VIP room, but there was no one guarding the door.

As soon as I opened the door without hesitation, another luxurious room appeared.

The smoke was the same, but it was more relaxed and quiet than outside, like a market stall.

'Is this a place where the big events you see only in movies take place?'

Luxurious room with red carpet and bizarre repeating wallpaper.

At a table in the middle of the room, four men and women are sitting and pecking at the cards in their hands.

One of them is Jo Tae-hyuk.

It made me realize how well my shiny face eats and whether I have received skin care for my neatly attached hair.

A woman who looks back in popularity.

She thought it was her subordinate, but when she realized that she was a stranger, she frowned.

"who? No one can come in here. Where have these bastards gone?”

A middle-aged woman with red lips spoke nervously, and she rolled up her arms and approached her as if she was going to pay for it.

The strong scent of her perfume swept over her, and then she dissipated.

“Are you familiar? Where did you see it?”

Jo Tae-hyuk looked at me and traced his memories.

You should help me remember.

“CEO Tae-hyeok Cho… … I came to collect the laundry bills that have been overdue for the past three months. In addition, if you return the money of the stolen members, we will save their lives.”

“What did that child say… … ?”

Jo Tae-hyuk, who stopped talking for a moment, smiled as if he remembered me.

It was the expected reaction.

There were no groups that he did not experience while rolling in his past 50 years, and characters like Jo Tae-hyeok were common.

“This is someone. Aren't you the owner of the laundromat? But did you come all the way here to get money? Don't be afraid to know where this is! Hey, but how did you know I was here?”

“It’s a trade secret.”

“Trade secrets… … All? oh look at this kid You are talking nonsense.”

“I want you to talk nonsense too.”

“What kind of child… … !”

Jo Tae-hyuk approached me as if he was about to hit me, but even if I had a good idea, I made a face and stopped.

He seemed to know what he was thinking as he held the card in his right hand.

“Hey, would you like to play? If I win here, I'll pay you back. To come all the way here with just a few pennies, you put in a lot of effort.”

Jo Tae-hyuk sweeps the cards spread out on the table.

“Black Jack. Can you do it?”

black jack... … .

I've never done it, but I know how to do it.

There was a time when a screenplay I wrote had a gamble scene, and I only knew it theoretically at that time.

A game of adding up two cards to make a number close to 21.

When it comes to blackjack, it's over.

‘It is enough just to know the rules of the game.’

I walked over to the table without saying a word, and one of them took my seat.

All four of them looked like they had made a promise, raising one corner of their mouth and making a sneering expression.

“Were you the owner of the laundry?”

I looked at you and laughed out loud.

They ignore me when they say they do laundry.

I wanted to know how proud I was to lead a life that I was ignoring the laundry profession.

“This is a relationship too, shall we shake hands once in a while?”

At my words, the four of you made a puzzled expression and then started talking.

"Ah… … funny. this guy is funny Yes, shake hands. My name is Tae-ri Jeong.”

A middle-aged woman held out her hand first, giving her a name that must have been a pseudonym.

“Hey, is this Jeong Tae-ri? Ugh, how many names do you have?”

Jo Tae-hyuk smiles like he's cute.

“Because I’m tired of the name I used before.”

'Sancho!'

Without them noticing, he summoned Sayeoncho, shook hands and gently buried it in his clothes.

Then, her life unfolds before her eyes like a panorama.

When she was in school, Nashiki was bullied by her friends, and as soon as she graduated from high school, she stole all the money from her house and ran away.

He became addicted to gambling while serving at a gambling house, and he set up this gambling house after repeating disgrace and strife.

One of the men, wearing glasses and wearing a shabby suit, surprisingly had a decent job as an elementary school teacher.

A case of addiction to gambling that started out of curiosity.

Although he has already sold his house, divorced, and is on the verge of bankruptcy, somehow he is sincere in his work as a teacher.

Even if he stays up all night gambling, he goes to work in the morning with a neat appearance, and he works hard to teach students.

The other guy is a friend of Jo Tae-hyuk, so I guess he's a soulmate who cheats together.

How can life be so dignified when it seems that there is nothing better than me?

Jo Tae-hyeok is already turning the cards with a fishy smile.

“Hey, laundry! do you have money If not, Jeong Tae-ri unnie here will lend it to you. What do you do to save the laundry building? You have to roll it for money.”

“Oh, you’re the owner, not the rental? See you again, man. We are friendly.”

Without a word, I opened the bag and showed the bundle of money and the gold nugget that Aides had dug up.

Then the four people looked at each other with their eyes widened.

They even exchange silent autographs.

When two cards were handed to each of the four people, they all picked up an appropriate amount of banknotes next to them and tossed them in the middle of the table.

I also threw a bunch of money.

“Oh, it’s coming out hard from the start.”

“I don’t have time.”

When I picked up the two cards in front of me, two cards with no high score were revealed.

‘Dandelion Scepter!’

When he summons Mr. Shol, the scepter walks around the room, sees the opponent's card, and draws a picture in the air to inform him.

“No, what kind of dandelion spores are blowing like this? Where did you come from?”

Tae-ri Jeong is waving her hand excessively and tries to chase after the men.

‘Other people’s cards aren’t that high either.’

They were all likely to die.

At that time, Jeong Tae-ri accidentally overturned her drinking glass and her gaze was focused to one side.

“Oops, sorry. I spilled my glass Can you take this away?”

He gave up his seat to me, and the man sitting next to me came with a tissue and wiped the floor.

The atmosphere was cluttered for a while, but we soon returned to the game.

At that time, the dandelion spores drew a picture in the air to inform that the opponent's card had changed.

‘These are cheating. Then I can’t just be there.’

The two players with the lowest score had already died, and Jo Tae-hyeok turned the card over first.

Q and 9, the sum of 19 points, was a score with a lot of chance of winning.

But that Q card was originally 5, so it was replaced.

As I proudly turned the card over with that score, it was clear that no one was reading my number.

I decided not to take any more cards, but to open them.

Previously.

‘Dreamer Sunflower!’

Summoned a dream of sunflowers.

‘Make my card look like blackjack.’

The dream of sunflowers will create an optical illusion.

I turned the card over with four people looking at it, and the result was, of course, blackjack!

Of course, the original cards were J and 5, so 15 points.

It was a losing card to Jo Tae-hyuk.

Four people who are surprised to see my card.

"what? I can't. Didn't this kid cheat? Check your card!”

At Jo Tae-hyuk's words, Jeong Tae-ri quickly collects cards and checks to see if there are any duplicates.

Even if you check it ten or a hundred times, it will probably be difficult to find anything strange.

“Cards are fine.”

“Then did I win?”

I collected all the money the four of you had bets and put them in the bag.

The cards were dealt again and the result was the same.

The four of them became more and more weeping, and their money was noticeably reduced.

In the end, he even borrowed money, and the elementary school teacher put it on his wrist.

But the result is my successive victories.

The game continued until all the money in the safe was gone.

I was going to do that, but I couldn't because of the four people who kept losing money and rolled their eyes.

Until all of the men in black suits blocked the door.

The game continued, but the four people who ran out of money could not hide their bewildered expressions.

“I must go now. My income is more salty than I thought.”

Next to my chair was a bag full of money.

As I stood up, people approached with faces full of life.

“Hey, where are you going? Who do you like?”

“I have no money now. And now it's time to go back. We have to open the store door.”

I was going to finish it in one shot, but it is already dawn.

“Can you help me with this? I don't think I can take them all.”

I asked the men in black suits to carry the bag of money to the car, but he came with a knife.

“Hey, what is this? The hospitality is shit.”

“Leave all that money. I can’t go before then!”

Tae-ri Jeong shouted, and Tae-hyeok Jo nodded.

“Why do I pay the money I earned?”(Read more @ hotmtlnovel.xyz)

“Go see if you can. Instead, you will have to risk your life!”

"Hmm… … If it comes out like this, I can't help it either. In the name of love and justice!”

“This kid. What did you say?"

“… … I need to summon the sunflower again.”

"sunflower? What else do you mean?”

‘Dreamer Sunflower!’

Then, the space in the room turned into a dark city with heavy rain, and we were all standing on the railings of a tall building.

The four people struggle to keep their center as their feet slipped due to the wet railing.

“Ugh, what is this? Where are you?”

“Go, hold on. You're falling!"

Everyone tried to keep their balance so they wouldn't fall, but Tae-ri Jung lost her focus and fell.

Like her viper, she can't fall alone.

When she grabs the arm of Jo Tae-hyeok who was next to her, her strings are woven together like Vienna and fall together.

Aaaaaaah!

People screaming and falling over the distant city.

But this is only a dream of sunflowers.

reality.

The four people, including Jo Tae-hyeok, collapsed on the red carpet, struggling and screaming.

“Aww, save me!”

“Ahhhhhhhh!”

They stayed there until I got my bag of money out and loaded it all into the car.

'If this is enough, we won't be able to open a gambling hall for a while.'

Before getting into the car, I touched and smelled the dirt at the entrance to the gambling hall.

“Hmm, the land is barren even for plants to grow. You have to make it fertile.”

He stretched his arms toward the sky toward the basement of the building and shouted a summoning spell.

“Bamboo deployment! Wisteria Vine! Corn with a lot of laughter! Angry Peas! Little sun orange! Sad anemones!”

Then the basement floor began to crack, and green shoots appeared, which grew quickly and turned the basement gambling hall into a forest.

Those who were still inside screamed and ran out.

“Now the air here will be a little cleaner. Everyone, please breathe fresh air and be tidy!”

As I said my last goodbye and started the car, I saw Tae-hyeok Jo and his crew running out of the building late with an iron pipe and a sharp knife.

“Hey, I still haven’t given up. It’s not something you can easily give up.”

The delivery truck he rode was filled with money from the gambling house.

“Dreamer Sunflower!”

Then, the surrounding space turns into a dark city building again.

Looking back, Jo Tae-hyeok and his crew are lying on the floor again, screaming and struggling.

I felt an endless feeling of falling endlessly.

“Now bye!”
