After a long walk, we reached home and I gladly placed myself onto the bed, slowly drifting off to dreamland.

Though before I could fall asleep completely, the hero kicking me off his bed and said "Wake up, it's still morning and you haven't ate yet, let's go eat, I'm hungry. "

Oh, he's right, looking out at the window, I realised that it was still rather early and that my stomach was empty.

Eat? Eat what? Food? 

Human food?!?! 

Mother said human food was delicious! 

Delicious food! 

Devious food! 

I happily jumped up from the ground and rubbed my face in the hero's hand in affection, a reaction generated by instinct. 

For a moment the hero was stunned but he quickly smacked me away while his other hand held his chest, an bewildered and shocked expression appeared on his face.

Mmm? What's with his reaction? Anyway, I'm hungry~

<><><><><><><><><>

Ah........how disappointing.... 

It's only slightly better than the food I ate in the mountains, meat. 

Sigh..... 

It is good, but lacking when compared to what I expected.

However, my brother who sat next to the other hero who was glaring this way, was stuffing his cheeks with food, a mountain of plates next to him. 

In disappointment, my attention swayed from the food and looked around, we sat on a long table, the fat king seated on the end of the table, down the table was seated his children and wife and us, though we sat rather far from him. 

Other than him, there were about a dozen of other people.

4 guards, 2 cooks, 6 servants and also a woman who stood at the door silently looking at the hero as she drooled, her clothing was rather strange and and in tatters, making her a weird figure in the lavishly decorated dining room.

Though I'm not one to say, my clothing which was even inferior to the cloth the king wiped his mouth with. 

Brother, had normal clothes that was probably provided by the other hero, but I and the woman was the sore thumbs sticking out in this environment.

I found something strange though, why am I the only one stared at by the servants and royal children? What about that woman? 

As I scanned the area, one of the cooks saw my lack of attention for her food and a sad expression appeared on her face.

Noticing this, oniichan immediately stood up and walked to her, placing both of his hands on her shoulders, he comforted her as he looked down onto her chest. 

The woman's disgusting expression turned into one of jealously and walked to the cook, blowing cold air at her.

Although the cook looked around as she slightly shivered from the sudden cold wind, she seemed to not have noticed the woman..... 

I wonder why? 

In curiousity, looked closely and realised the slightly transparent figure of the woman and tilted my head in confusion. 

How strange? 

Looking around, I noticed that some people looked rather displeased at oniichan's actions or merely focused on their food, but none noticed the woman who were jealously rubbing herself onto the hero who paid no attention to her. 

I walked over and attempted to touch her, but my hands merely went through her.

Noticing my attempt at touching her, the woman looked at me and pointed at herself, speaking rather dumbfoundedly "You can see me? "

Eh? What did she mean? Isn't it normal to be able to see her.

If you come across this story on Amazon, be aware that it has been stolen from Royal Road. Please report it.

I nodded in reply.

"Ah, it would have been wonderful if you were a girl though.... " she sighed. 

Ah, she knows I'm a male? How strange, I thought everyone assumed I was a girl. 

This woman is weird.... 

I asked "Who are you? "

"Fufufu....lo and behold! I am the mighty magician of this country!....... That died 2 years ago........" she replied, her voice getting softer and softer at the end. 

Ah, she's dead? Then why is she here? 

"Ah, I know what you are going to ask, ignorant dragon! I am a ghost who died in regret! Worry not as I am not seeking revenge but another thing! "

Ghost? I never heard of that word. 

Looking up after thinking for a while I wanted to ask "What are you seeking? " but before I could, I noticed the bewildered expression of oniichan in front of me.

"Who are you taking to? " he asked.

As I was about to answer, the woman smiled and placed her finger on her lips.

?

What does that mean? 

Anyway I replied to the Hero "I is talking to a Ghost!"

Upon hearing my words, the faces of both the woman and oniichan changed greatly, oniichan's turned into shock and slight terror while the woman's expression turned into embarrassment.

"Uwaaaaa! What are you telling him?!?" she shouted, covering her face in embarrassment, attempting hide the tinge of red in her face. 

"A-A ghost? " the hero shuddered, hugging his shoulders.

While this went on, the surrounding people stopped what they were doing and looked at us with many variations in emotions, confusion, contempt, mockery or even sympathy.

A servant with a sympathetic expression walked over and said "The both of you must be tired." and rather courteously brought us back to our rooms, ignoring the ghost woman. 

Despite that, the ghost woman followed us, silently.

Pouncing on the bed, I ignored the rather shaken Oniichan and conversed with the ghost.

"What you seeking for?" I asked again, this time heard by the ghost.

"Hmmm," she placed her finger onto her cheek "how do I explain this..."

?

"I am seeking for the lost of my virginity!" She proclaimed, "I'm a virgin ghost, a title etched into my restless soul, haaa."

"Virgin? Virginity? What's that." I asked with a tilted head.

"My! Innocent one! What are you talking to?" The hero looked over, his face pale.

"I'm talking to the ghost lady!" I shouted to him, annoyed that he had butted into my conversation again.

Realizing the hero's presence, she blushed and disappeared.

"Uwa! Don't go!" I shouted but to no avail.

"Who are you talking to exactly!?!?"

"I'm talking to the virgin ghost!" I shouted.

"!?!?"

<><><><><><><><><><><>

"Hey hey, aim properly there." He positioned my arm, making it face the dummy he placed up.

 "Nn." I released the fireball in my hand, which exploded onto the dummy, severing it's head and turning it into ash.

"Ohh.......you did it!" Oniichan shouted excitedly.

It's been quite a while~ I learnt many magic but fire seems to be one of my weakest element, to Oniichan's shock though...

Was it a month that had passed? Occasionally the ghost, who said her name was Irika, would come over and drool all over Onii chan.

"Mhmm~" I happily proclaimed, butting my head into his hand.

"GAH!?!"
