Oh no! After I Reincarnated, My Moms Became Son-cons! Book 9: Chapter 17

The crisis this ti was avoided, albeit having to pay a sowhat big price. However, we got instant results from it. My two moms wont fight in my presence again, so weve avoided a war between the two races. Ive almost finished what I needed to finish during my stay here, and therefore should plan for my next step; in other words, my journey to the North of the large canyon.

Im more confident now after hearing Vyvyans explanation for why the North of the large canyon was so desolate. She explained that it was due to the flow of the elven spring water being blocked off from reaching there. Put another way, as long as mana can be restored there, life will also be restored there. The part I cant wrap my head around is why the temperature there dropped again. If its because of mana, the mana there dried up centuries ago.

Why would the temperature drop again this year?

It must be due to sothing on that side. It must involve elves since mana is involved. Otherwise, it must be another intelligent species. Im very curious and very eager to et with them. I have no way of communicating with trolls, and I dont want to be involved with unintelligent creatures. Ill just off them.

As for the details, Ill need to obtain information from Socina. Humans and elves havent been there for centuries. If Socina doesnt have any information, either, Ill have to try exploring it. What I want most right now which also happens to be what I need most now is a map. Without one, Ill need to expend a lot of energy and ti to explore the area.

I dont have that much ti on my hands.

From my side, Freya worriedly suggested, Onii-sama, you have just recovered. In my opinion, I think it would be best for you to rest for a few more days before planning your trip to Socina.

Im almost completely recovered. My only concern now is the full-moon night. I must return here on the full-moon night, so I need to make haste. If I dont, I might not make it to Socina City in ti Things are troubleso without Luna here

I must return quickly or Ill suffer imnse pain on the full-moon night. I cant use magic on the full-moon night, and Ill need to resist the pain while controlling myself. I havent suffered that pain in a long ti. Without Luna here with anymore, I must return for Vyvyan to suck my mana out for .

After a mont of pondering, Freya asked, Is Luna the only one who can do it? The other elves can do it, can they not?

If it was so simple, I wouldnt need Mom to help every ti. At the mont, there are only two people I know of whom can withstand my mana. One is my mom and the other is Luna. Others will suffer a pain worse than death if they absorbed my mana. As a matter of fact, their life may be in jeopardy.

I see I shall do my best to make your schedule as simple as possible, then, Onii-sama. If possible, tomorrow we, actually, no, you should leave the day after.

Why the day after? Is sothing on tomorrow? Has my guard unit not reford its ranks?

I glanced at Gerald with a questioning gaze. He lingered for a mont before answering, Based on what I can see, the guard unit has fully reford its ranks, and the injured mbers have returned. Further, they are all training. If you need us to mobilise, we can mobilise at any ti.

Good.

One more thing, Your Majesty. I would like to confirm sothing with you. Gerald looked at and with an uncertain tone, asked, Your Majesty, if you need to head out, shall I accompany you as your bodyguard, or shall I stay in the palace as Madam Freyas bodyguard?

Stay in the palace, of course.

Go with Onii-sama, of course.

Freya and I answered at the simultaneously, causing the young man to be completely confused. He looked at us feeling dumbfounded. He looked back and forth between us with a flustered gaze. He stuttered, Umm umm so what exactly shall I do? Your Majesty, can you give a definitive command?

Onii-sama, I am staying in the palace. I will not be moving around carelessly. I have no use for this bodyguard, whereas you cannot be short one man, as you are outside. Onii-sama, for your safetys sake, Gerald should go and guard you. I will be fine with the guards in the palace guarding .

Freya looked at sincerely and continued, Further, you are fond of putting yourself in danger. I think that having an extra guard will be an extra share of insurance.

I looked at Freya and scrubbed her head roughly, I have over a hundred guards with . I dont think that Id recognise Gerald, even if he stood among them. Im the one who can be with or without him; however, hes a one-and-only bodyguard for you, so I cant have him follow . Freya, dont go assuming that youre safe here. Did you forget what happened to Luna? I thought the Royal Capital was the safest place in the world, but I lost one of the most important people to . Thats why I wont let that happen again, Freya. Whatever the case may be, Gerald is soone I relatively trust. I believe that he will protect you, even if it costs him his life.

That is right! Madam Freya, I would not hesitate to give my life for you!!

Okay, okay, okay, save the sweet talk for soone else to say. Im not moved by what you say at all.

Freya looked at Gerald emotionlessly, and then sighed. She then faced and said, But Onii-sama, there is, indeed, sothing for you to attend to tomorrow. Tomorrow is Troy Citys spring harvest festival. I hope that you can have fun with the Princess tomorrow, whether that is with Miss Nier or Miss Lucia. You did not relax with them when you ca back this ti. You need to head out again now. They may not have complained or anything, but I still think that you should have so fun with them before leaving.

Another festival?!!

To be honest, Im scared of festivals now. I lost ra at the Deer Hunting Festival and nearly lost my own life, too. I lost Luna at the hunting season event and nearly lost my life again. I always get in trouble at every festival. Its as if theres always sobody out for my life at every festival. I only have a few of my loved ones and friends with now. I dont want to lose another one of them and sure as anything dont want to deal with another similar turbulent situation again.

It is all right. There will be no problems this ti! I promise! This spring harvest festival is held within Troy City with the people holding it themselves and is intended to add a celebration to Troy City; hence, it will be fine. Nobody from outside will be participating this ti. Everyone participating is a resident of Troy City while our guards are in charge of safety. In order to ensure our safety, I had a part in virtually every aspect of the festival. There will not be any problems this ti, Onii-sama; I guarantee it. There will be no safety issues.

Freya looked at nervously. As she spoke, she used hand gestures as though she was afraid that I would refuse.

I thought about it for a mont.

Im not worried if its just people from Troy City, because Im highly respected here. Besides cancelling the peoples ridiculous debts, I even provided them with work and crops to plant. Subsequently, they have no reason to harm . Moreover, my guards are with this ti, so I dont think there will be any major incidents this ti.

The last two tis, my safety was in my moms hands as I was in their cities. This ti, however, Freya is in charge of my safety. I have no reason to suspect Freya. None at all.

I nodded, All right, then. I shall have fun around tomorrow.

Freya seed to let out a big sigh of relief when she saw nod. She then looked at again, but cheerfully this ti. She exclaid, Please look forward to the celebration tomorrow, then, Onii-sama!
