My Dream is to Get My Own House - Chapter 65

Episode 65

1. She suffered at Sangermane Nursery
2. The orphanage director coveted her special ‘ability’ and even tried to follow her into the ‘women’s restroom.’
3. Even after escaping the orphanage, the director frequently chased her to Melic Academy.
4. She had always longed for friends, but she graduated feeling lonely with no one by her side. 

The content mentioning the ‘women’s restroom’ indicated that she is female.

 Next, the part saying that she always wished for friends confirmed that she had none. 

“If she likes wild kisses with insane goblins, it’s no wonder she had no friends…” 

I murmured to myself. 

“Hmm, if I meet this person, I might be able to learn more about the orphanage.” 

[Right. But this person is untraceable. We don’t know who they are.] 

“Well, even if I were like them, I would probably hide under such a pen name.” 

[Whatever. It doesn’t matter. Are you ready? We’re going to kidnap that witness right away.] 

I slowly lowered my gaze. 

5. During her time at Melic Academy, her nickname was ‘Blockhead.’ 

“No, please don’t kidnap them.” 

[What?] 

“It seems like I know this person.” 

I glanced briefly at the calendar. 

Around this time every year, Melic Academy held a major event—a class reunion. 

If my prediction was correct, ‘Blockhead’ would be attending the reunion, just like every year. 

* * * 

A few days later. The location of the couple’s class reunion at Melic Academy was in front of Melic Tavern. 

Memories of my traumatic encounter with Pedro before my regression resurfaced in my mind. 

‘A class reunion, do I have to go?’ 

‘Yes. I need to show them that I’ve become a noble.’ 

‘Then can’t I go too? It’s a couple’s event. If I go with you…’ 

‘No way. You can’t. Don’t come.’ 

When I found out the location of the couple’s reunion and arrived secretly, Pedro was kissing Mary, his affair partner.

‘I really want to kill that XX.’ 

As I recalled the memories of the past class reunion, I entered the tavern. 

Clank. 

With a slight sound, the loud noise in the tavern instantly died down. 

I naturally took a seat at the edge of the tavern. 

Everyone’s gaze was focused on me. 

A man pretending to be a gentleman approached and flirted lightly, “Seems like you got lost.”

I stared intently at his face without responding. 

He blushed from his ears to his cheeks just from that gaze. 

Perhaps that was the reason. 

The people around him erupted into commotion. 

“Hey! Philip! The lady might have made a mistake.” 

“Who is she, the lady?”

“Today, we rented the tavern entirely for the Melic Academy reunion.” 

“Ah! No need to leave. Let’s hang out together.” 

“Lady, may I ask your name? I’m curious which noble family’s lady you are.” 

Over there was Sam, and over there was Tom. 

Come to think of it, both of them were the culprits who tormented me during my time at the academy. 

‘Ishael, why do you always have a bomb head?’ 

‘…She’s really weird. I don’t want to get close to her.’ 

‘She became a girl and can’t even take care of her appearance.’ 

And yet, their own faces weren’t even comparable to Pedro’s. 

They were so shallow in appearance that it was disgusting, even though they only had a slight change in appearance. It was right at that moment. 

Jennie broke through the lively atmosphere and approached with a clatter.

“Who are you?”

It felt like the time had come for me to reveal my name.

I smiled softly and opened my mouth.

“It looks like no one recognizes me. I’m Ishael.”

As soon as I finished speaking, the tavern went into an uproar.

“Ishael?”

“A namesake?”

“Wow, Ishael Lorelei with that blockhead?”

The men who used to look down on me approached eagerly.

Their eyes clearly showed that they were looking down on me.

They must have known about my time at the academy.

They knew that I used to date Pedro, a low-class ex-boyfriend, who treated me like an ATM. 

“Did you come alone?”

“What about Pedro? What happened?”

“Wow, you’ve become really pretty. What did you do? Did you use magic or something?”

There was a lot of malice in their eyes.

Sam, pretending to be nonchalant, smiled at me.

“I may not be as good as Pedro, but what about me?”

I let his remark slide.

I didn’t need these arrogant guys; I needed to find Blockhead.

I looked around.

Even as I pondered about Blockhead, I was bombarded with inappropriate remarks.

“Want to go together tonight?”

From arrogant men and women who belittled me to those who looked at me with curious eyes.

But I didn’t need any of them.

“It seems like there’s no Blockhead here.”

If there was no Blockhead, there was no reason for them to be at this class reunion.

I raised my beer glass high in the air.

Then, I tilted the glass towards Sam, who had dared to ask me if we could go together tonight.

Splash.

The beer spilled on his face and well-dressed clothes.

He stood there, unable to even open his eyes, taking the beer in his face.

When everyone had quieted down, I spoke quietly.

“So arrogant.”

The tavern fell silent again.

I placed the beer glass on the table with a thud.

As everyone stared, speechless.

Sam, with beer on his face, burst out in anger.

“You like me because I look prettier now? How dare you!”

Philip, who was next to him, finally spoke.

“Yeah, right. Ishael! What are you doing?”

“Don’t you all know we’ve become administrators here?”

“It means we can end your reputation. Think carefully, Ishael Lorelei.”

The old Lorelei.

Philip grabbed my chin forcefully and glared at me.

“The Lorelei family has already fallen, haven’t they?”

Laughter could be heard from around us.

They had already chewed up our family like gossip.

I pushed Philip’s hand away roughly and said,

“Don’t any of you update your information?”

“What, what?”

“A noble who received a title in <Ode to the Summer Night>. The savior of Duke Saboia. The person who received a personal order from the emperor in the Hunt.”

I lightly drew a magic sign in the air.

Suddenly, the surroundings sparkled and became lively.

At the moment the light burst in the air, I smiled widely.

“That’s me. You still didn’t know?”

They were always quick to mock and ignore me, my so-called friends.

For people like them, the “eye for an eye, tooth for a tooth” strategy should work quite effectively.

While silence filled the room, I smiled leisurely.

“Oh, there’s something I haven’t mentioned yet.”

I stared intently at the tavern’s door.

As everyone followed my gaze, a formidable atmosphere emerged with the appearance of Dylan, who overwhelmed everyone in this place.

“What happened? Should I wipe them out?”

… Well, that’s fine too, but.

“Let me introduce you. This is my husband, Dylan. We came here as a couple.”

An icy atmosphere formed around him.

“You mean the famous…”

“Is it the winner of the swordsmanship competition, Sir Dylan?”

Seeing Dylan, I felt a definite sense of strangeness in the atmosphere.

Even the guy who got splashed with beer couldn’t dare to give me any attitude.

I smirked and got up from my seat.

“Dylan.”

“Yes, my lady.”

“Let’s go. I don’t want to be with worthless people.”

Since Blockhead doesn’t seem to be here anyway.

* * *

Blockhead.

An ancient language meaning “stone head.”

I’ve heard this commonly used as an insult.

“She was probably at the class reunion too. Is it a memory distortion?”

I sighed and came out of the tavern with Dylan.

But right then.

“…Huh? There are people in front.”

I stared blankly at the people gathered outside the door.

They were exchanging rude jokes centered around a woman in the middle.

“Long time no see.”

“Why haven’t you changed at all?”

“Why did you even come to the class reunion? Where’s your boyfriend?”

“Ishael, who used to be a nerd, was having fun inside.”

Nerd?

These bastards.

I clenched my fist.

And right then.

Dylan grabbed the necks of the three men at once.

Don’t ask how he managed to do that.

It’s possible, okay?

The men whose throats were caught by Dylan’s hands choked and were thrown to the ground in no time.

“Should I take care of them?”

“Yes, please do.”

I saw Dylan disable them all at once.

Then I turned my eyes to the woman who had been harassed by these people.

She rolled her eyes aimlessly.

“Thank… thank you for saving me.”

I already knew her.

“Dayra, right?”

A quiet girl, just like me in the past, who led a relatively peaceful life, indifferent to her surroundings.

Except for occasionally staring at me, there wasn’t much contact between us.

“Who…”

I introduced myself lightly.

“Hi, I’m Ishael. Dayra.”

Her eyes widened to the point they couldn’t get any bigger.

“The glasses? Blockhead? The one who used to read books with me behind the classroom?”

“Yeah, well.”

“I’m really surprised….”

Yeah, that’s understandable.

I get surprised when I look at my own face sometimes.

I casually said to Dayra, “You know, I have something to tell you.”

“…Huh?”

“Do you happen to know about Blockhead?”

Someone who uses the nickname “Blockhead” as their pseudonym.

A calm writer, a woman who graduated from Melic Academy, and among the academy graduates, someone with no background.

That’s right, the probability was high that it was Dayra.
