TRANSMIGRATED AS A GHOST

As Boreas continued to send any invaders that tried to kill Gwyneira packing, she naturally noticed his efforts.

One day she grew curious and invited him into her home to talk which surprisingly Boreas accepted.

“She seemed completely baffled that I would willing enter her home with out any backup, since with all of the defensive formations set up, she could probably have killed me is she wanted. But I did not peg her for that type and the curious looks she gave me told me she had no hostile intention.”

When Boreas met with her, she asked him why he had been helping her, and he told her that he felt bad about what he and his party had done which he felt was no different than an armed robbery.

“She then said to me ‘I see I must take back what I said. Maybe men from another world are different.'” Boreas said with a smile on his face as he recounted his first friendly conversation with his wife._.

For Gwyneira who was a mythic grade beast losing a fight normally meant death, but when she had snapped at Boreas right before she thought she would die, her words had actually reached him.

“After that I continued to protect her home from those that we sent to kill her, and she periodically invited me into her home to talk and have tea with snacks. But eventually the people stopped coming for her. The company trying to establish the mine in the mountain that was Gwyneria’s home simply ran too low on money and clout to continue what appeared to be a hopeless venture.” Boreas said with a laugh.

Of course, while he was fighting to protect Gwyneira he made sure to keep his identity a secret by wearing a costume to disguise himself.

“I also had to put a lot of points into the hide status skill that prevents people from appraising me as long as their skill is the same or lower level. Though it is not even close to as impressive as your unique skill.” Boreas said as he looked at Marcus.

Shrugging his shoulder Marcus took the complement, since his unique skill certainly was useful as he could set his status to pretty much whatever he wanted as long as he did not make himself try to look stronger than he really was.

“Once there were no more threats to Gwyneira, I considered my repentance done and went on my way to rejoin my party who had continued clearing out northern wilds while I took a break.”

They went on like this for a few more months, though this time Boreas made sure to carefully appraise any beast that they were fighting to make sure they were not intelligent like Gwyneira was.

“That was when something wholly unexpected happened.” Boreas said. “We were just enjoying a relaxing time at one of the taverns that had been set up in a town we had help establish, when a beyond beautiful girl with royal blue hair walked in. I was practically enraptured by first sight and was incredibly surprised when she walked right up to me, and said, ‘I finally found you Boreas.'”

Caught completely off-guard Boreas actually had spit out his drink as the beautiful girl came up to him and acted like they knew each other.

“Of course, I knew there was no way I would not remember someone like her. So, I was left completely baffled by the situation, just as my party was. Not to mention she looked completely out of place among all of the rough and tumble people in the tavern, with her fair skin and ornate dress. Even Juniper who was a proper lady looked more natural since at least she was wearing adventuring clothes.”

What happened next naturally shocked Boreas and his companions as Gwyneira introduced herself to them and sat down next to Boreas.

“I have to say my party was not quite happy about this and stood up and took their weapons out on instinct when they realized that she was actually the dragon we had attacked. Though Gwyneira did not pay them any mind and instead looked towards me.”

It turned out that once Boreas had left, Gwyneira started to get lonely and miss him. Since while they may have started out as enemies, she considered him a friend at this point seeing as how he had protected her for over a year.

“Later did she tell me that after her parents had died in a turf struggle, she had been left all on her own, and it is actually quite tough for a young mythic grade magical beast, as others or the same grade or at the legendary grade will kill unprotected beasts that could be a threat in the future. Now that is not to say that she was not strong, but I am sure all of you can understand the difference between a level fifty-nine and say a level seventy mythic grade beast.”

For Gwyneira when she lost her parents who had died killing a group of intruding beasts, her home was no longer safe. She had to abandon it and fly to an entirely different continent to find a new home that was far enough away from any other powerful beast so that she would not be targeted.

“But now that her new home had gained the attention of humans, she decided to abandon it. And as I had been kind to her, she wanted to stick with me for protection since I was pretty strong as far as humans went.”

Though at first his party was very much against letting a dragon join, but once Boreas extolled how useful it would be to have her, they relented and allowed her to join.

“Once Gwyneira joined us things in the party took a drastic turn. A couple of our members decided to leave, and Juniper became, well a lot angrier all the time. But my party soon picked up its final member when Alexandra joined us. I believe you know her right Marcus. She is currently the head royal investigator of the kingdom.”

Nodding his head Marcus acknowledged that he knew her, and said, “Yes, I have met her a couple of times, but she is certainly hard to read. How in the world did she end up in your party?”

“Ah that is because she had come looking for us since she had recently found a very dangerous dungeon to the far north that she wanted to enter.” Boreas said with a half-coked smile.

Hearing this Marcus understood where this was going as it had been written in Juniper’s diary.

“So, this is when you entered the Great Gome Woods Dungeon. Juniper did not really write down that many details about how you found it or why you entered. At that point she was mostly writing insults about Gwyneira and feeling jealous that she had gotten so close to you very quickly.” Marcus said with a smirk.

Boreas groaned a bit when Marcus brought this up, but he was well aware of the crush that Juniper had on him, but they had resolved that issue centuries ago.
