Oh no! After I Reincarnated, My Moms Became Son-cons!

My moms didn’t argue otherwise, since I wanted to go . The fleet was ready to set out at any time . Frankly, we couldn’t continue to stay on the island, as we didn’t have sufficient provisions . The residents of the island didn’t leave behind much food . The Valkyries scoured all the food available, but they weren’t interested in it . They avoided it as if it was the plague as long as they could return to the s.h.i.+p .

My moms gave up eating the native food . Vyvyan was interested in the vegetables, though . As a result, Ying, Xia and I were the chief rice consumers . That was why we continued to deplete the provisions on the s.h.i.+p despite the s.h.i.+p having docked . That was also why we couldn’t stay here for long . The return trip will be a big issue once the food on the s.h.i.+p runs out . As such, we have no choice but to hurry and battle the wyrm . However, the sea was calm . We had several sunny days, while the warmth on the water surface was addicting .

There were no turbulent waves or winds . The risk of being thrown into the water that night was nowhere in sight . The area in which the wyrm was active was a lot wider than we imagined . We could only stay for another three days . We had no choice but to return after three days whether or not we succeeded . We informed Ying about our circ.u.mstance, and she said there weren’t any problems . She expressed she’d return with us if we didn’t encounter the wyrm, but she would return in the future .

I really wanted to know the reason for the wyrm coming and leaving . Supposedly, Ying didn’t know why it left . Ying was responsible for protecting the village, not slaying the wyrm . If it arrived at the perimeter of the village, she could sense it . I didn’t quite understand why it came to me that day when its active zone was so wide .

I had a few questions on my mind: “Why did it suddenly come to me? Why did it attack me? Was it a coincidence or did I unfortunately encounter it when I entered?’ According to Ying, however, she didn’t receive any news that day . Something must’ve attracted it to us when we approached . I don’t know what attracted it, but it couldn’t have been us, could it? It doesn’t eat humans; if it did, it wouldn’t have a need to eat us specifically, right?”

Vyvyan sat next to me and let the breeze of the sea blow on her . With a smile, she said, “If there are no obvious signs, we will have to leave . Ying and Xia are aware of that, right? You also understand that if they return in the future, it will have nothing to do with us, right?”

I nodded, and then threw a sh.e.l.l toward the ocean: “I know, and Ying knows, too . If we can kill the wyrm this time, that’ll be for the best . If we can’t, we’ve done our best . We can’t stay here forever to kill it . But, Mom, I’m very worried as to what we’ll do when we return?”

Vyvyan firmly rubbed my head: “Isn’t that perfect, then? We won’t have to search for it in that case . If it comes over on its own accord, it’ll be doomed . It didn’t approach when we came . Now we have Ying and Xia, as well . If it approaches now, we’ll kill it while we’re at it . Honestly speaking, I think I can take it out alone . Creatures in the elven lands are all creatures with mana . I can kill all of them, so a wyrm is nothing impressive . Believe in Mommy . Mommy will surely protect you . Mommy will surely protect you . Mommy won’t let you get hurt . You’ve fallen into this ocean once . Mommy won’t let you fall into it a second time . ”

Mommy Vyvyan said that every time . I felt safe as long as I was with her . With that said, something about her felt off . In the past, she never repeated she’d protect me so many times or say so much, because she was confident she could keep me safe as long as I was with her . This time however, she repeated herself numerous times .  Therefore, I pondered, “Was she trying to rea.s.sure me or herself? Mommy Vyvyan said that we absolutely had to leave in three days . Is she glad? Is the wyrm threatening to her? Ying described it as a mere wild beast . Is she not too confident this time despite her overwhelming power?”

I questioned, “Mom, why do I feel that you’re not so confident this time?”

Vyvyan shook her head with a soft laugh . She pulled me into her embrace and quietly explained, “Son, Mommy is, indeed, not too confident this time, but not due to the wyrm . The wyrm is just a wild beast with mana to me . There’s no shortage of these kinds of beasts in the elven forest . There are dragons to our west . Why would I be worried about a single wyrm?”

“Then, Mom, you…”

Vyvyan erased her smile and looked at me with a serious look: “I’m worried about Ying and Xia . Ying and Xia are immune to mana . In other words, I’m just an insignificant existence to them . I basically have no mana against them . At the same time, I hate the feeling of cutting people with a sword, so I’m very worried about Ying and Xia this time . ”

“But aren’t they on our side?”

Vyvyan looked in the direction of the shrine and sighed: “But Xia will go berserk . Last time she went berserk, she killed five kids . This time, I’m worried about you, Son . You may have grown up now, but I still see you as a kid . Furthermore, even if you have come of age now, you’re still no different to Xia . You’re as vulnerable as those five kids . That’s why I was honestly very worried about you when I heard Ying and Xia were coming with us . I can protect you thanks to my mana as a demi-G.o.d, but my mana is completely ineffective against them, so I’m very scared . As such, Mommy isn’t confident that Mommy can protect you this time . ”

Smiling helplessly, I gave Vyvyan gentle hug, and she hugged me back . She gently stroked my back and, in a soft voice, said, “This time, you must stay by Elizabeth’s side if we go out to battle . Ying and Xia can still be wounded with blades despite being immune to mana . Nier can defeat Ying; hence, Elizabeth can certainly defeat her, as well . I’ll share a boat with Ying and Xia, while you, Elizabeth, Nier and Lucia will be on another s.h.i.+p . Remember: the wyrm isn’t a problem, so don’t worry about it . Focus on Ying and Xia . You must bear that in mind, Son . Ying and Xia are dangerous to you, much, much more dangerous than the wyrm . ”

I replied, “I trust Ying and Xia . I trust that they won’t harm me . ”

Vyvyan didn’t argue . Instead, she stroked my head then gave my forehead a soft kiss . In a soft voice, she remarked, “Aren’t Ying and Xia the same as the wyrm? Aren’t they wild beasts, too?”

My moms didn’t argue otherwise, since I wanted to go . The fleet was ready to set out at any time . Frankly, we couldn’t continue to stay on the island, as we didn’t have sufficient provisions .
