Returner’s Magic Laundry

[Smile Flower Shop]

‘The name of the store is pretty.’

In front of the flower shop, some customers were choosing beautiful flowerpots.

Just like the name of the store, the flower shop owner was smiling and kindly explaining to customers' questions.

The flower shop owner is a woman in her late 30s who looks elegant.

At that time, a customer came up and began to annoy the florist's owner.

“No, hey. What if you put a lot of Styrofoam in a flowerpot? Then, if you say yes, you will split up right away. The plants died quickly.”

The florist's boss seemed bewildered for a moment, and then she made an apologetic expression.

“Oh, I’m sorry. Originally, I had to do this for good drainage, so it grew well, and I did it for light potting and ventilation... … The last time I traded in the flower garden, I used a bit too much styrofoam.”

“So what are you going to do with this!”

“I will refund you. And I'll give you a new one. I've just started a flower shop, so I'm very clumsy. Please understand. I'll check it out next time."

When the florist's boss seemed to apologize sincerely, the customer went back without being angry any more.

Come to think of it, the other person was looking at the store last time... … .

The flower shop owner saw me hesitating and spoke to me.

"Good morning. What do you need?”

"Good morning. that… … Do you have apple tree and cherry tree seedlings or seeds? I also bought a coffee tree here last time.”

"Ah yes. How many would you like?”

“Only two, please.”

“Wait a minute.”

The flower shop owner came out with small seedlings the size of a forearm.

“Here it is. All are two thousand won. I'm 2 years old. I don’t usually put seedlings there, but I put them there to try and grow them.”

“Yes, here it is. Oh, and I'm the owner of that movie laundromat over there. If you have any clothes to leave, please leave them at any time.”

"Ah yes. I heard a story. Originally, I left it because it was close to a clean laundry, but it was closed, so I had to leave it at the movie laundry.”

“Yeah, then, go ahead.”

I was about to turn around, but the florist called me again.

“Have you ever taken any flowerpots… … .”

"Yeah?"

“Were there a lot of Styrofoam in the pots you brought back then?”

It reminded me of how bad it felt to see the Styrofoam entangled in the roots while repotting the pots.

But the misunderstanding seems to have been cleared up.

“It was, but I did the split again.”

"Sorry. I complained to the flower garden, but they said there was nothing I could do to make a living. I found out too late and changed all the soil and changed the business partner, so it should be fine now.”

"Yeah."

“You seem to be buying a lot of trees and flowerpots. Where do you plant them on the roof?”

"Yeah? Ah yes… … I just have a small garden. I want to make it a little bigger.”

It was too big to be called a vegetable garden, but it was roughly surrounded.

“If you need anything else, please contact me in advance and I will prepare it for you.”

I thought I would do a lot of trading in the future, but I thought it went well.

"Yes sir."

“Oh, can you wait a minute? I remembered that there was something to leave the laundry for. My clothes get dirty often because I touch the dirt.”

"Yeah. I'll wait."

He seemed like a better person than I thought.

When I looked at the potted plants outside while waiting, the plants in the corner looked like they had withered and withered brown leaves.

'I guess I didn't pay much attention to it because it was in the corner.'

Carefully taking out the sun glove and stroking it, the withered leaves became firm and stretched out toward the sky as if they had ever done so.

I stopped stroking it until I saw the new shoots appear.

'Now it's good to see.'

After waiting for a while, the florist brought a handful of laundry.

“It’s going to be winter soon, so I think I’ll have to wash my clothes in advance.”

“Yes, I will clean it.”

I took the unexpected laundry and returned to the laundromat.

“Oh my gosh, when did they grow up like this? Oh, you are pretty.”

I heard the flower shop owner admiring the flowers I had saved behind my back.

At 9 pm, I could see the shops in the neighborhood closing one by one.

After making eye contact with the bosses who made eye contact, I also closed the laundry door and turned off the signboard light.

* * *

As I went through the portal and went into the forest, Ariel greeted me as she was... … Instead, he started sniffing around me.

[No ramen?]

"la… … if? Ariel, didn't you eat dew today?"

[No ramen?]

“I don’t have today. You should not eat it often. It’s not good for you.”

Ariel suddenly lays flat on the grass.

"uh? Ariel why? Are you sick?"

[Ariel's body, it's not good. Today is bankruptcy.]

“Isn’t it a strike, not bankruptcy?”

[same.]

"Why why?"

[Ask because you don't know?]

I removed the hand that had comforted Ariel and folded her arms.

There was also a bit of disappointment.

You're looking for ramen before me.

“Ariel, do you like me? Do you like ramen?”

After thinking for a while, rolling his eyes, Ariel opened his mouth.

[la… … .]

"Huh?"

Ariel looked at my contorted forehead, and changed his words for a moment.

[…] … No, you idiot.]

It's a bit of a sarcastic tone.

"That… … right?”

At that moment, Ariel sighed and got up.

He knew he was disappointed, but he couldn't help it.

“Let’s eat ramen only once a week. I only eat once a week.”

[Really?]

"Huh!"

what is real

Steamed Ramen, Shin Ramen, Otugi Ramen, Raccoon Ramen, Salted Paghetti, and eat them in turns.

But it's a secret to Ariel.

“But I haven’t eaten today either. Let's eat dew together."

[Why can't I eat?]

“I just had a lot of work today. I'm a little tired. Hurry up and let’s go to sleep.”

[good!]

We stood side by side with our mouths open under the dewy leaves.

Tok! As I gulp down the falling dew drop by drop, I immediately feel full.

“I have to work now.”

[working!]

Now the laundry was done by the tree fairies in an instant.

"I'll have to see how much the sown forests have grown."

I looked towards the fungal forest that had blown the seeds of the source.

It was far away and my vision was blurred because of mold spores, but I could tell the condition just by looking at the rays of light.

But somehow, only one of the two beams of light extending into the sky is visible.

The single surviving ray of light seemed to be extinguished.

“Why can’t I see only one ray of light?”

Just in case I need it, I bottled the stream water and set out for the mold forest.

[Be careful.]

“Okay. Hang in there."

Ariel looked off with a worried face and waved his tail.

First, we headed to the place where coffee seeds were sown.

But nothing is where it should be.

They searched all around, but could not find any traces of coffee seeds, let alone the forest.

Rather, the fungus had grown bizarrely larger.

'The fungus grew bigger by feeding on the baby forest. I can't do more about sowing other seeds.'

I turned around and headed to the place where I dropped the ‘seed of the source’.

The forest, the size of two palms put together, had grown twice that size today, but it seemed to be somewhat wretched.

When I touched the soil under the big tree, it was dry and rough.

I looked up at the sky and the light coming through the small hole in the clouds seemed weak.

‘It is not easy for anything to grow well in a barren land surrounded by mold like this.’

Still, the forest where Ariel was located seemed to have survived well.

'It's too soft... … I'll have to take good care of them until they grow up to a certain degree."

He sprinkled the prepared stream water on the small forest, took out the sun gloves, and stroked the big tree.

『The subject feels warm by the stroking of the sun glove.』

Then the new leaves on the trees swelled up, and the soil became softer with moisture.

As the forest calmed down a little, the sun got a little stronger.

'Next time, I'll have to plant some plants that grow well even in poor soil. A plant that can help the forest to grow.’

As this palm-sized forest grew, it seemed to be able to merge with that large forest and return to its original shape again, bigger and faster.

Seeing that the small forest was looking for a fresh green color again, I went back to Ariel's place.

[how?]

“Coffee seeds are failures.”

[I am right. How about Baby Forest?]

“It’s a little weak, but after watering it and stroking it with a sun glove, it got better.”

[thank God.]

"Oh right. I have to harvest a lot of coffee from now on. We need to grow more coffee groves.”

[Stupid, startled]

"Why?"

[Follows.]

Ariel took the lead, waving her tail until she couldn't see what else she was trying to show.

“Wow! What is all this?”

The coffee trees I had planted a few days ago were all growing in the meantime.

She was a little worried that she didn't germinate in the meantime.

“You could call this a coffee farm. Could this be Indonesia or Brazil? How can coffee grow so well?”

The coffee trees grew well and the forest grew bigger.

[Like it?]

“Yeah, I like it. I think I'm going to be very rich now."

[Then will you give me Ariel ramen?]

“Child, I give you more than a hundred ramen noodles.”

Ariel got excited and started running.

[100 Ramen, 100 Ramen!]

“Are you that good?”

[Good, good!]

ugh cute.

“Let’s turn on the music and start.”

[Music, music!]

“Today is Bach’s ‘Aria on the G String’.”

As soon as I hit play, beautiful music started playing.

And the sound of the forest wriggling and growing.

👌👌👌👌👌

The sound of the leaves shaking and hitting each other harmonized with the aria on the G-line.

Kururu~

I thought the shaking of the ground was severe today, and I saw new leaves sprouting from the ground.

With that vitality, the fungal forest had to take another step back.

It was only after the expansion of the forest had subsided to some extent that work could begin.

“Sunshine Gloves!”

With a glove of sunlight that appeared in front of him, he stroked the blue fruit under the coffee tree, which had not yet received the light.

『The subject feels warm by the stroking of the sun glove.』

The fruits quickly turned red and the branches began to droop under the weight.(Read more @ hotmtlnovel.xyz)

‘Now that almost all the fruits are ripe, shall we harvest?’

But how do you harvest all of this?

The quantity was too much to pick one by one.

Ariel noticed what I was worried about, so I gave it a shot.

[Idiot writes ‘Hoe of Thunder’]

“The homie of thunder? It’s used to plow the ground.”

[This is the back side.]

“The back of the hoe of thunder? Does it have any other use?”

[Try it.]

“Okay, thunder hoe!”

A thunder hoe appeared in front of me, and I grabbed it and held it with the other side of the hoe's sharp side facing the ground.

And, as always, a slight slam to the ground.

Koo!

The vibration that started with a loud bang ran through the coffee trees.

Ripe berries fell from the trees shaken by the shock.

“It’s amazing too! But this homie, even with a really slight hit, the vibration is amazing. I have to handle it with care.”

[Careful, careful!]

“Okay. Now that I have picked the berries, what do I do next?”

When I saw the fruits filling the furrows of the coffee tree, I was puzzled again.

[There is a whirlwind.]

"Huh? whirlwind? in this forest? I never saw it.”

[The forest grew. appeared.]

"Aha! Shall I call you then?”

Ariel nodded her head.

“A whirlwind!”

“Would you like to call the baby whirlwind?”

“I’m still young and I’m not mature.”

“Yeah, just call me!”

As soon as I finished speaking, the top of a large tree shook violently, and a small whitish wind quickly began to approach.

Shushshushshook!

Every time the wind passed, the leaves that had fallen to the ground flew wildly.

“Oh, I think he’s coming this way. Go to the coffee tree. Why are you coming to us!”

[It's sweet. I don't listen.]

“You should tell me sooner!”

I tried to avoid it late, but it was too late.

The whirlwind hit me and Ariel, lifted them up into the air, and after a few turns, they lowered them to the ground.

Aww!

iron puck!

“Okay, why are you here?”

[I like it.]

Thanks to this, my hair, clothes, and Ariel's hair are a mess.
