My Dream is to Get My Own House - Chapter 70

Episode 70

* * *

His expression seemed somewhat cunning. Dylan had already suspected that he was hiding something. Occasionally, his face looked different. 

“Could he have used some kind of disguise to change his appearance by sitting on a pile of debts?” 

Sometimes, there were people who did that.

I nodded at him. “Yes, I’m ready to accept.”

Even if he sat on a pile of debts, he was still Dylan. I nodded resolutely while looking at him. He also stared back at me firmly. 

“Then, it’s better to plan a detailed travel itinerary.” 

…A detailed travel itinerary? What is that? I’ve already told him the travel plans. 

And a few hours later, I received the detailed travel schedule that Dylan had prepared.

[9:20:30 Arrive at Mordey Carriage Station

9:23:30 Board a private carriage

9:30:30 Confirm the magician and knight traveling together

9:35:00 Take seats and depart

10:00:00 Snack time

12:30:00 Meal time

14:00:00 Explore the market

…

Last day at midnight: Confession time.]

Well, it’s quite detailed. 

“You have a detailed plan down to the second.” 

“Yes, I optimized it considering our route.” 

He’s really amazing. Is Dylan an expert in planning?

As Dylan was finishing up the content of the schedule, he suddenly asked, “But is there a reason for using a carriage instead of teleportation?” 

“They asked me to write a travel journal for the 3rd-week program promotion.” 

In fact, I had a slight competitive spirit for this trip. 

‘It’s a bit strange to have this thought about a fake newlywed theme, but I don’t want to lose this time either!’ 

I had already been recognized as “genuine” twice, so maybe that’s why.

Oddly, I didn’t want to lose to the other newlyweds. 

“Instead of teleportation, taking a carriage allows us to enjoy the scenery better on our way.” 

That’s when it happened. The dog that had been dozing on the sofa and just staring at the lunchbox lid suddenly lifted its head as if coming into the living room.

“They’re such youngsters!” That god, no, that dog sometimes showed insight on baby themes, which irritated me.

Dylan chuckled softly and said, “Come to think of it, there’s a male dog here. I had forgotten.” 

His voice was so gentle that the little puppy, Mung Mungi, shivered and dug into my side. 

“Protect my peanut!” 

It had become so attached that it had turned into a baby tone. 

‘I’m sorry, but I’m not the one protecting that peanut.’ 

But because I felt sorry for it, I decided to change the topic. I pointed to the lunchbox that Mung Mungi had been drooling over for a while. 

“Dylan, can I open the lunchbox lid? You seem to have been preparing for it for a while.”

“Oh, of course.”

I presented the lunchbox with a flourish and opened it. 

Dylan’s smiling face appeared. 

I had crafted a beautifully presented dish with a delicious Chuledda steak sliced into a round face, adorned with black seaweed to create eyes and hair. Right beside it was mine. Yellow hair represented French toast soaked in milk and eggs, while green eyes symbolized flavorful cheese. 

Dylan proudly patted his shoulder. Of course. There was also a dog in the picture, a dog very far away, unfortunately. So, very far away. 

Sadly, the peanut was not sitting on the edge of the dish. Mung Mungi was frustrated, placing its hands on its cheeks. 

“My peanuts…” 

It was a truly beautiful painting.

Then, Mung Mungi stood up, folding its arms in front of its chest and declared solemnly, “I, Mung Mungi, shall make a prophecy. A very important moment is coming.” 

Did it need to draw lots on a piece of paper?

Suddenly, Mung Mungi opened its eyes wide and scratched its head like a fool. 

“Oh, no.”

“What’s wrong? Why are you stopping midway?” I said, wanting to know what it was about.

Mung Mungi’s cheeks puffed up like a chubby face. 

“Tell me right now.”

“Two very important secrets will be revealed. Then comes a celestial prophecy.” 

After saying that, it dramatically collapsed into my arms. 

I looked at Mung Mungi with a puzzled expression. Who can’t say that? 

Hey, did you just get shocked because the peanut fell?

The next morning. 

“Dylan, why are there only two lunchboxes?” 

Dylan smiled gently. 

“If it’s a honeymoon trip for newlyweds, it’s called a honeymoon. It’s something we skipped along with the wedding.”

“Oh, I see.”

“But we can’t bring a child along.”

Mung Mungi’s eyes widened. It was a truly shocking expression. 

Surprisingly, Mung Mungi couldn’t join us on our vacation because this little god was mobilized to find Diana, who was a substitute for me as a contractor.

“This is, this is forced labor!” 

Anyway, Claude picked up Mung Mungi. 

“Hey, gods must attend, no excuses!”

“Ahh… help me!” 

I waved my hand towards Mung Mungi. 

“We’ll go on a trip together with the three of us when I come back!” 

Although I didn’t know when that would be.

Feeling excited, I headed to the carriage station with Dylan to travel to Odette Territory.

* * *

…And so, after Ishael resigned and went on the trip, Mung Mungi, Duke Saboia, and Claude stood in front of the last calculated coordinates. 

In their sight was a small brick house that had now turned into ruins. 

“Isn’t it strange? Now that Ishael has left, it feels somehow lonely and empty.”

“Do not act familiar with me. You said she rejected becoming a lady, right?”

At that moment, a question mark appeared above Duke Saboia’s head. 

“I didn’t get rejected. She said she’d think about it. Isn’t she a serious person?”

“Hmm, I didn’t know that.” 

Duke Saboia ignored Claude. 

“Now, let’s quickly find Diana. If our prediction is correct, there should be a secret hidden here.”

“I’ll try using the tracking spell Ishael taught me.” 

Claude quickly scattered the tracking potion on the ground. 

At that moment, a hazy mist-like aura appeared, and the nameplate of “Sangermane Nursery” came into view.

Although it was a long-lost illusion, they had finally found the real “Sangermane Nursery”. 

Claude and Duke Saboia stared at the empty air with their hands sweating, unable to even breathe in anticipation of Diana’s appearance.

In the illusion, the director of Sangermane Nursery appeared, whipping the newly arrived children with a bald head and a chubby body. 

“Hmm, the three of you have come from the Borghone Block B.”

The three of them bowed their heads in unison. They expected to see an image related to “Diana” because they had used the tracking potion, but they couldn’t see the blonde girl anywhere. They could only see a small back of the head.

As if to answer their doubts, after the director left, the children pointed to a girl and said, “Why does your hair color keep changing?” 

“Ugh, I don’t know!” 

Was Diana’s hair color changing?

Because the child’s face wasn’t properly shown, they couldn’t figure it out. Suddenly, the footage disappeared as time swiftly passed.

Claude let out a disappointed sigh. Although the tracking spell had improved a lot compared to before, it still couldn’t show all the memories permeating the ground. They had to make use of fragmented information.

He witnessed the land turning into a barren plain. He observed the director’s face and people calling him “Hey, Demon!” 

He saw the list buried in the ground, which contained the real names and fake names of the children possessed by demons. He even saw them overcoming the crisis of being killed by someone with red hair.

It had only been about ten minutes, but the information he obtained was of higher quality than the information from the past ten years. One piece of valuable information was Diana’s changing hair color. 

They now knew that there was a list containing information about the children of Sangermane Nursery, including Diana.

“Let’s check the list.” Claude nodded with a trembling expression. They were about to have a solemn moment of digging into the ground.

Mung Mungi narrowed its eyes slightly as it looked down at the ground. It was the moment to display the power of the divine being. 

“The list is in a different place… That means it’s over there!”

Mung Mungi’s mind was exploding with ideas. 

“Hey!” 

Mung Mungi pointed solemnly into the air. “The list is over there!”
