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

Lucia has left.

It was something that had to be done so I had no complaints. Lucia told me that she would do everything in her power to finish early and come back. We parted reluctantly. The last time we parted was when I left, and now it was my turn to see her leave. However, I soon had to leave the elf nation too. After the full moon night tomorrow, I will have to return to the humans.

I only went through one event this month, but that one event felt like a lifetime’s worth.

Since Lucia left today, I had nothing left to do either. It turned out I was right. Everything I was asked to do previously was all to keep me from spending time with Lucia! Lucia is gone, and so is Mera. I no longer had any interest in leaving the palace. And so, I casually read a novel while sitting under a tree.

“What are you reading, my son?”

Just as I started feeling sleepy and was about to fall asleep thanks to the warm temperature in the afternoon, a gentle voice came from above. I placed the book on my face to a side and sat up. I looked at mom who was looking at me with a smile and replied: “Nothing, just a novel. But I was about to fall asleep before I could finish it.”

Mom smiled as she picked up the novel to flip through it and then said: “You’ve always been reading books since you were young which is why mommy has kept the drafts of all works in the library. Mommy really likes this habit of yours, since mommy didn’t let you touch swords and weapons from a young age. Reading a lot will also allow you to understand the thinking of the sages of old. Thoughts are a good thing. Flesh will die and rot, but thoughts will not.”

“I agree, mom.”

I sat up straight and leaned my back against the tree trunk. I looked up to the green tree leaves above and went into a daze. I don’t know if it was just my imagination or not, but I felt like the tree leaves had begun to wither.
