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

“You can stand now,” stated Ying, standing next to me.

I finally managed to stand up after persisting for several days, albeit needing to use the wall for support. Being able to look at everything from a different perspective gave me a strange sense of joy. I turned my head to look at Ying. I discovered she wasn’t tall. I probably thought she was tall, since I was always looking up at her. She looked similar to any ordinary girl from this angle.

I slowly moved my feet. There was nothing different to before except my back hurt a bit. It wasn’t an intense pain, though. I touched my chest: “I feel that I’ve recovered, Ying. I can probably go shopping for you tomorrow.”

Ying nodded: “Start by buying the very light stuff, then. Buy some rice from the store in the village. The store will have a lantern with the word ‘rice’ on it. You don’t need to pay money. Just let them know the shrine needs it. Then, go to the store next door to buy vegetables and eggs. Tell them the shrine requires them, too.”

I nodded and smiled: “Remind me again tomorrow. I think I’ll forget.”

“Mm. You need to rest more on the way up. Have a rest as soon as you’re tired. Your back is still very weak. If something happens, you may never be able to stand again.”

I nodded, and then looked to the big tree: “I want to go, and see the tree.”

“That tree?” asked Ying. She nodded: “The tree has been there for a long time. This shrine grew up alongside the tree. I remember the tree hadn’t bloomed at the time; it has finally bloomed. Admiring the tree allows me to feel a state of tranquillity.”

I nodded. Ying reached her hand out to support me. The two of us went over to the tree. The closer I got to it, the more I felt it was sturdy. I could see the entire tree when I was previously lying inside, but I had to raise my head up to see the flowers that had bloomed when I was close to it.
