Returner’s Magic Laundry

“Oh, little one. Isn't the boss here?"

"boss? are you my dad? Are you out of work right now?”

“Then who sees the store?”

“I am.”

"you?"

No matter how much you look at him, he only looks like a sophomore in elementary school.

“Aren't you going to school? Isn't it time to go to school now?"

“I took a leave of absence. I have a bad heart.”

The little boy who replies as if nothing happened.

At that time, a customer who was choosing a book takes out a book with a question and opens his wallet.

“Little Detective, Volume 12, 2,400 won is here.”

“Yeah, I’ll give you a 200 won discount because you’ve filled a hundred books with this. Do you not eat ramen by any chance? The owner is not here right now, so if you cook it yourself, you will get a 500 won discount.”

“Is that so? Still, it's delicious when the boss cooks it... … .”

“Then wait and order when the boss comes.”

"Okay. It’s better to pay an extra 500 won and eat what the boss cooks for you.”

The little boy skillfully took the customer's money, calculated it, and put the money into the cash machine.

“But kid. Didn't that customer see you a while ago and call you a detective?"

"Yes, that is correct. I'm a detective. My father recognized my talent late and decided to join the Heungshinso.”

ok~

It's too late, it didn't seem like something a kid who was only about 10 years old would say.

I think I've come to the wrong place, I'm leaving.

“Uncle, didn’t you come here to work as a detective?”

"Huh? Oh no.”

“… … Uncle has never come to our comic book store to read comic books. However, the reason I suddenly stopped by this place must have been because I saw the small words “Heungshinso” written on the signboard. And since I’ve been fiddling around with something in my pocket, it seems like there are things I want to keep in my pocket.”

I stopped my hand in my pocket as I was fiddling with the identity cards of the embezzlers.

cute.

“Yeah, right. But it’s not something I would entrust to a child.”

Then a man walked into the comic bookstore and said,

“Hundreds of hair!”

"Yes Yes?"

The man's gaze was fixed on me, so I had no choice but to ask again in shock and bewilderment.

“There is nothing we cannot solve. Of course, I can run with my feet. fufu. You must not underestimate it. This little guy has a good brain instead of a bad heart. I'm good with computers too. Good morning. My name is Mi-hyuk Yeo, the president.”

“Oh yes, hello.”

“The kid here is called Yeo Guk. You can just call it soup. Today, thanks to soup, I solved the problem. I was asked to find a puppy, but thanks to Guk-i’s reasoning, I found it at once.”

"Ah… … .”

Somewhere funny rich

“Are you the owner of the laundromat down there? Not long ago, I saw a wedding from a distance in the laundry garden. It was really nice to see.”

"Ah yes. Was it a little noisy?”

“No, no. My country is very interested in laundry. Because the laundromat made strange noises that it didn’t seem like it was just a laundromat.”

Yeo Mi-hyuk is stroking Yeo-guk's hair, and Yeo-guk looks through me with round glasses.

When I made a hesitant expression on my face, Mihyuk Yeo led me to a small office inside.

Meanwhile, the woman made her look at the counter.

Although she is in a hurry, she still could not entrust her kid with the illegal job of spying on her.

"Fine. Leave anything to me. What our little one does is like simple reasoning. Manga rooms aren't doing well these days, so I'm trying to do some fun stuff. I did some detective work in the past, so there is a route where I can gather information. there's only one thing i can do Whoops.”

"Ah yes. I am again.”

“If the comics room is as successful as it used to be, you should stop working at the Heungshinso.”

A comic book room that has been in decline since the 1980s with the development of the IT industry.

In 2020, there will be almost no comic room to be found, and it was clear that Mi-hyuk Yeo would be shocked to learn that he was buying e-books on a computer or reading webtoons on portal sites for free.

I wanted to tell you a lot about it, but it wasn't important right now.

I took out two copies of my ID and showed them.

“Is this a background check?”

“I was wondering if I could know the status of these people’s property. Well, I'm not going to buy this. There is no such thing as remorse as these are people who just embezzled other people's money and made their own stomachs. I don't think he was putting up a sign for the Heungshinso, saying he wouldn't do such a thing, right?"

“Is it possible? If I was going to do something legal, I would continue as a detective.”

I wondered why he quit his job as a detective, but I quit because I thought the story would be long if I asked.

Instead, he pulled out a bundle of cash and placed it on the table.

There was a 10,000 won sheet sticking out of the envelope, so you could tell how much it was by looking at the thickness.

“Then could you wait outside for a while? Just call a few places and they'll be there in no time.”

“Is it that fast?”

“Actually, this is not the case. You just tap on the computer and it comes out.”

When I went out, the woman turned around.

For some reason, I felt like I shouldn't be talking with Yeo Guk any more, so I pretended to pick a comic book and walked around the bookshelf a little further away from the counter.

I felt a tingling in the back of my head, and then Yeo-guk approached me.

Without realizing it, I took a step back and avoided it.

“Uncle, aren’t you avoiding me?”

“Uh huh? My, why am I?”

“Uncle, come over here. I have something to show you.”

“Go, I don’t want to go.”

Somehow it felt like that.

“Oh, come and see.”

The woman grabbed my little finger and led me.

What took me was the back of the counter, a small, secret space between the bookshelves.

There were old, worn-out books strewn with cobwebs.

There was a window at the end of the space that only one person could pass through, and in front of it was a telescope supported by a tripod.

Even the slightest movement caused dust and I coughed without realizing it.

It was an astronomical telescope, but the lens was pointed towards the east of the world, not the sky.

“Look here.”

“What do you want to see? I'm not interested in space."

“Oh, I see.”

“Oh, no. I think I should go.”

I turned around, feeling like I couldn't see it.

Then I heard the sound of hitting the wall with a short moan behind my back.

Looking back quickly, Yeo-guk grabs her chest and leans against the wall, breathing heavily.

“Kid, are you okay?”

I ran and looked at the woman.

With her face contorted in pain, Yeo-guk is breathing heavily.

‘Is my heart wrong?’

I was about to call her boss, but a woman's hand grabbed my arm.

“Don’t call me. Instead, just look at this. Then you will be fine.”

She raises her head, where Yeo Guk had bowed, and smiles softly, but the pain that had shackled him a while ago was nowhere to be found.

“Now, are you kidding me?”

“It’s no joke. It really hurts.”

I couldn't figure out what was the truth.

You can't use magic on a girl who has a bad heart to find out her true heart.

Reluctantly, I looked into the telescope the woman was pointing at.

When I saw where the telescope was shining, I opened my eyes in surprise and stepped back.

It was illuminating our laundromat.

I looked again and saw Gangnam-young seeing off his guests at the laundry in the telescope.

I opened my eyes again and looked at the woman.

“Stand, please.”

Since when have you been watching?

our laundry.

There were many things she wanted to ask, but her mouth did not fall off, and Yeo Guk did not havetily divulge what she had seen.

In the midst of our silence, only dust shimmered in light and hovered around the air.

“Which card should I have?”

Card?

He must have seen me using magic.

“If you look through this telescope, you can see the whole world. Lost dogs can be found quickly. Of course, what happens at your laundry.”

At that time, I had no choice but to leave the place at the sound of Mi-hyuk Yeo calling me.

A woman who winks at me as I step backwards.

‘I think I got it wrong.’

As I left the small secret space, Mi-hyuk Yeo found me and waved his hand.

As I entered the office, a fax machine in the corner was constantly printing something.

A lot of materials were lying on the table, and Mihyuk Yeo muttered as she saw it.

“These two, Yoo Chung-ah and Kim Tae-joon, don’t have much left over. All that remains on the computer is a large, recently opened meat restaurant and a country house on the west coast. If you have used cash in the meantime, it is difficult to leave it on the computer. But looking at the card price, it seems like a huge luxury.”

The two must have already squandered most of the embezzled amount.

Most of the newly opened meat restaurants also took out bank loans, so even if you sold all your assets, you could only have a few in cash.

Perhaps he had just come to his senses and did not know that he had started a business with the intention of doing well in a meat restaurant.

After all, it means that Kim Sang-il's father, Kim Young-guk, can only receive an 'apology' from them... … .

"Thank you. That's enough. Then see you next time.”

"Yeah… … But maybe I'm not being rude to our country, right? In any case, I hope you understand. Since I was little, I grew up because I was sick.”

"no."

I left the manga room feeling like I was coming out of a tiger's den.

After looking up at the window overlooking Yeo-guk once, he hurried to Kim Sang-il's shop.

‘Happy Baguette Jjigae’(Read more @ hotmtlnovel.xyz)

In front of him, as I thought, the married couple Yoo Chung-ah and Kim Tae-joon were on their knees, bowing their heads, and begging Kim Sang-il's family to be their hands and feet.

Inside the store, families who had been misunderstood were embracing each other and sharing the joys and sorrows of the reunion.

Yoo Chung-ah and Kim Tae-joon would soon break the magic and return to their daily lives.

Perhaps nothing has changed or repented.

But you can't just let them go.

The curse that was placed on Ursula's family had to be returned to Yoo Chung-ah and Kim Tae-jun, but it was over.

'You can't do anything. I'll give you that hand.'

Yoo Cheong-ah and Kim Tae-jun slowly got up as if they had been released from magic.

Even though he was bewildered by his body moving at his own will, he immediately made an impression on Mr. Kim Young-guk.

'mold!'

As he stretched out his hand in the air and shouted a summoning spell, mold spores floated like dust on the palm of his hand.

After the breath is blown, the spores are blown and stick to the couple's hands.

A hand that turns black as the spores sprout and grow in an instant.

The couple, who were running to protest Kim Young-guk, looked at their hands and screamed.

“Aww, my hand! Why are my hands like this? It's rotting!”

“Your hands have turned black! Why is this?”

‘Those with an evil heart and those who do not know how to repent, no matter what the two of them touch in the future, everything will turn into mold.’

A couple screaming and running away.

Wherever their hands touched, mold had spread and turned black.

The plants in their beautiful garden, and the meat in their new meat shop, will all turn moldy the moment you touch them.

It will be difficult to escape from the curse unless you sincerely repent for the sins of hurting a happy family, accusing you of coveting other people's property, and causing suffering.

‘Happy Budae Jjigae’ is lit up in the evening

Did happiness finally come, just like the name of the store?

* * *

one month later.

I went back to the restaurant at the invitation of Kim Sang-il.

There was a sign hanging in front of the restaurant, and it was said that from now on, it would be reborn as a restaurant specializing in budaejjigae.

Some customers turned away with disappointment when they saw it, but the number of customers who came to eat Budae Jjigae increased.

Ursula somehow lost weight and became her half, and Kim Sang-il's chubby belly seemed to fit in.

The smell of delicious budae-jjigae fills the alley, and customers enter without being able to pass the temptation.

Seeing that, I thought I should make a suggestion.
