Chapter Index

    While everyone was preoccupied with food, I took a quick look around the room and realized that I needed to wash the blankets before it got colder, so I left it to Rahee and Ari to clean up after the meal and went to the storage room for a while. .

    What is this… suffocating atmosphere?

    Did you two get into an argument while I was away for a moment?

    That was the first thing that came to my mind, but I quickly shook my head.

    This is just my guess, but it didn’t feel like that.

    And more than anything… if the two had really had a fight, both of them would have been fighting, not just Ahri, as seen now.

    So, rather than a fight… I think it was Ari getting beat up by Rahee one-sidedly.

    From what I can see, it looks like she tried to play the role of sister-in-law again while I was away for a while and got a real beating from Rahee…

    ‘Ugh···.’

    Anyway, I really can’t stop you.

    If a child attacks you, you need to know how to treat him appropriately.

    Well, doing your best no matter who the opponent is is what I know of Oh Ra-hee.

    Anyway, in a situation where the atmosphere was obviously harsh, there was no reason to put the two together, so I decided to take Rahee out at this point.

    Since we’re almost done with cleaning up anyway, Ari will have enough to do on his own.

    “Hey, Oh Ra-hee.”

    “What.”

    “Let’s go to work.”

    “What?”

    Considering that the destination was a daycare center, it was difficult to predict to some extent, but I guess I didn’t expect that they would try to manipulate me so blatantly.

    A look of bewilderment appeared on Rahee’s face as she silently rinsed off the grease remaining in the plastic bowl with water.

    That reaction was so cute that I ended up acting more shamelessly.

    “Hurry.”

    “Haa···.”

    After sighing as if she was going to die from exhaustion, Rahee shook off the remaining water from her hands and left the sink.

    It was almost at the same time that Ari, who had been watching the situation unfold with rolling eyes, urgently intervened.

    “Me, me too!”

    “No, Ari, you can stop with that and rest.”

    If you put them together, they’ll just fight again.

    You need strength to properly wash blankets, but even if you step on it with Ari’s strength, it won’t be noticeable.

    ‘It’s lucky if you don’t slip while stepping on it…’

    So I politely declined, but was that really dissatisfaction?

    “You will pamper your girlfriend to your heart’s content while letting your ‘younger brother’ rest…? amazing. Amazing.”

    It was clearly aimed at me, so why was Ari even more upset by those words?

    Maybe he didn’t like Rahee’s sarcastic attitude.

    “It’s really good…”

    Ari expressed his intention to participate once again, but he declined by shaking his head.

    Although the container used for washing blankets is large, it was a bit too much for three adults.

    “Well, even if I try to give you a good experience, it’s a mess.”

    “Hmph, what is a good experience…”

    “Hey, why don’t you just give it a try? This also helps relieve stress.”

    “Okay, so where should I go?”

    “Let’s change our clothes first before following me.”

    The blanket is yours. I’m going to take care of it, so all Rahee’s job is to do is step on the blanket in the container, but even so, the skirt was a bit messy.

    Especially if it is tight enough to stick to your body like the one you are wearing now.

    “Did you bring a change of clothes?”

    “You told me to, so I brought it anyway…”

    Judging by the fact that he was secretly slurring his words, it appears that this is not a comfortable outfit for work.

    So what can we do?

    I have no choice but to give up what is mine in a hurry.

    “Sigh, this is why the ladies of precious families…”

    “No, if you were going to do this, why didn’t you tell me to bring training clothes in the first place!”

    “Okay, I’ll lend you a spare pair of sweatpants, so you can change into themㅡ”

    It must have been the moment when he was about to say.

    In a way, he was trying to help me, but after being rejected twice, he couldn’t have been in a good mood.

    Ari, who was wearing a duck cosplay with her lips pouting, came between us.

    “My, I!”

    “Huh?”

    “I’ll lend you mine. Sister.”

    “Ari, what’s yours?”

    “Ugh, I guess your brother’s thing will be a lot bigger for you…”

    It will continue to drip down while you work, so wouldn’t it be uncomfortable to wear it to work?

    At first glance, it was a valid argument.

    While I’m washing the blanket, I have to keep moving my lower body, and if my pants fall down every time I do that, I won’t be able to move properly even if I’m worried about that fact.

    So, it is true that it is a valid claim…

    “Ari, you hate lending your things to others.”

    “Well, that’s it… It was like that in the past, not anymore!”

    “Okay…?”

    Well, when I was a student, I used to react sensitively to trivial things.

    “Yes, and since it’s the gym uniform I wore in high school anyway, I don’t mind if it gets dirty…”

    “I heard so?”

    “Then, I’m sorry, but can I owe you something?”

    .

    .

    .

    .

    .

    .

    .

    .

    I also felt that my clothes were not appropriate for work, so I changed my clothes and gathered in the warehouse.

    And the face of Rahee that I met there…

    “Keep, are you a chick?”

    “Zeuunghi flow (be quiet)…”

    It literally reminded me of a chick.

    Isn’t it just like being wrapped in bright yellow gym clothes instead of flashy lights?

    “Maybe it’s because your hair is red… It looks like ketchup was sprinkled on top of the yolk.”

    “···Would you like me to make it red too?”

    “It means they match so well~”

    By the way, the water has cooled down a bit.

    Even though the sun was quite warm for fall, I thought I might get cold if I kept dipping my feet in the water, so I purposely used warm water.

    If this happens, do I have to start again from the beginning?

    However, it will take quite some time to refill the container…

    It must have been a moment when he was hesitating with his hand slightly dipped in water.

    “Why? Well, is there a problem?”

    “Oh, I was wondering if I should get some water again.”

    “It looks clean, why bother?”

    “That’s not it, you’re cold.”

    Wouldn’t it be embarrassing to see someone’s face if they caught a cold after having them soak their feet in cold water?

    That’s what I meant when I said it.

    “Well, no matter how cold it is, how cold is it…”

    Rahee, who was complaining as if she didn’t understand, came towards me and squatted down next to me.

    Then he pushed me out of the way… and dipped his hand into the bucket.

    How long has it been like that?

    Bubbles bubbled up on the calm surface of the water, and soon the cold water started to rise up with white steam as if it had never been like that before.

    “Now, there’s no problem like this, right?”

    “No, I think this will be too hot… Won’t you burn your feet?”

    “Sometimes they say coldness is the problem… but it’s tricky.”

    The water temperature seemed hotter than when I first received it, but it wasn’t that bad.

    Because you need time anyway.

    So, after dissolving as much detergent as I could, I threw the blankets I had secured with the cooperation of Teacher Yumi and the staff into the bin.

    Then, I stirred it using a long stick I picked up nearby… and bubbles started to rise in an instant.

    “Hmm…”

    “Why? Is it interesting?”

    “No, well…it’s not a common sight…”

    Well, where else but a daycare center would you wash blankets in such large quantities?

    If it’s surprising, I’ll be honest and say it’s amazing, but after looking at Rahee who was giggling for no reason, I chuckled for a while. I thought I’d cooled off enough, so I took off my shoes and socks and entered the tub.

    “What are you doing? You too, come in quickly.”

    So, before I knew it, I invited Rahee, who had been following me with her feet in the bubble-filled bucket, and she hesitated for a moment, then gulped, swallowed her saliva, and carefully entered the bucket.

    But the first thing they say is-

    “···Strange.”

    That was it.

    Could it be that the sensation of foam seeping between my toes felt strange?

    “It’s all just standing still.”

    “What nonsense…”

    “Come on, let’s move quickly. There’s a lot of work today~”

    I tried to subtly urge Ra-hee, but Ra-hee’s feet were stuck in the same place for the first time and did not know how to move.

    Also, his expression was a bit stiffer than at first…

    “Are you really scared?”

    “Oh, I feel like I’m going to slip the moment I move, so what should I do!”

    “Wow… How do you do hunter work when you’re so scared…”

    “···That and this are a bit different stories, right?”

    “Yes, yes, I understand. Okay. Now.”

    Did you know that the map was embarrassing?

    He shook his head, brushing aside Rahee’s protesting words with a slightly red face, and held out his hand toward Rahee.

    What I suddenly received was a sullen look.

    “What.”

    “I will hold you so you don’t fall, so hold on.”

    “···.”

    “Or just keep standing still like that?”

    Was there nothing in particular to say?

    After a moment of pouting, Rahee leaned forward and carefully held my outstretched hand.

    But then he gave strength to the hand he was holding.

    “In that situation, you step on the blanket.”

    “Like this?”

    “Ehehe, will the old stains go away? Harder!”

    Did he respond to my cries like that?

    Rahee stamped her foot loudly.

    Needless to say, thanks to this, not only Rahee but also myself were left reeling.

    “… They say they will hold you back so you don’t fall!”

    “No, who would stamp their feet so ignorantly?”

    “Ji told me to make it louder…”

    “Anyway, do you feel like your stress is relieved?”

    “···Well, it’s not bad.”

    *****

    At that very moment when Ra-hee, who had Su-hyeon as support, was vigorously kicking her feet while remembering the face of someone who had annoyed her in one way or another throughout the day, what was that person doing…

    ‘This theory… it can’t go on like this…’

    I was biting my lip out of nervousness.

    Of course I expected that it wouldn’t be easy, but I never thought it would be this difficult.

    My brother’s attitude didn’t help much either.

    I’m really grateful that they were considerate so that I could escape from the difficult work, but I couldn’t rest because I thought that the two of us might be clinging to each other at this very moment and doing hahahoho.

    ‘···I can’t do it.’

    Since it’s like this… I have no choice but to use that method.

    If I use that method, my brother will be in a bit of trouble…

    ‘This is all because my brother tried to separate me…’

    Don’t blame me too much?
