Oh no! After I Reincarnated, My Moms Became Son-cons! - Volume 6 - Chapter 22

Chapter 22

When I opened my eyes, I could only see a pitch-black sky .

‘No, this isn’t the sky . The sky wouldn’t have a texture . ’

This black and scaly texture pressed down on my body . Or rather, it should be some animal’s claw that’s pressed down on my body, legs, and face, leaving me without even a hint of light .

The ground around me felt like it was ablaze . I felt like the heat from the ground and strong smell of charcoal made the air thin .

The oxygen in the air was being depleted by the intense flames, while the thing pressing down on my head cut me off from my source of oxygen . I was on the verge of suffocating . I felt like the oxygen around me was wildly escaping me, not even leaving me with a single ounce .

I reached my hand out and tried to push the claws of the unknown animal in front of me away .

I don’t know why I didn’t fear it at all, despite it squashing me like this . Was it maybe because I knew this was a dream? Or was it because my subconscious didn’t recognise this animal as a threat?

I never thought the claw would feel so surprisingly soft . It was so soft I could manipulate it into any shape I liked . I couldn’t resist the urge to massage and pinch it .

The claw seemed to get a little annoyed and budged . A clear voice from overhead then spoke out, “Son… you sure like taking the initiative…”

I immediately opened my eyes and faced Vyvyan’s playful eyes .

Vyvyan scanned me with curiosity . She had a naughty smile on her face .

In my foggy-minded state, I think I managed to figure out what could give my hand such an odd and yet blissful feeling…

“Oop!” Just as I was about to shout, Vyvyan swiftly covered my mouth with her hand, preventing me from shouting .

I pulled my hand back as if I had been electrocuted and looked at her with terror .

I want to know where Nier and Lucia are . I remember we returned to the palace after leaving the hot-spring . The heat and humidity from the hot-spring left us in no mindset to want sleep, so for some odd reason, we stayed in my room .

We chatted away in the midst of dried meat and strong wine . After experiencing another losing battle at guarding my chastity, I fell asleep after being completely spent .

And we now come to the present…

I turned my head to the side to see Nier on my right sleeping completely in the nude . On my left was Lucia who was clinging to my left arm and deep asleep like an infant . On my leg was a black silhouette which I think was Elizabeth, who was sound asleep while snoring quietly . On the ground next to my bed were Luna and Freya’s petite bodies deep asleep .

And as for Vyvyan… well, she was squashing me from above…

‘No wonder why I had such a weird dream . Turns out this is why…’ I slowly returned to reality from my nightmare and looked at Vyvyan like I was begging her, hoping she’d get off me .

Honestly, I feel that I’m in dire straits right now because when we got high from drinking, Nier launched an attack, and then Lucia . I don’t know if Vyvyan took part or not…

If Vyvyan did participate, I didn’t recall rejecting her…

Whether or not Vyvyan got her way that night is a complete mystery . I never stopped trying to find out from her by testing her after that night .

The others all said they couldn’t remember . Meanwhile, Mommy Vyvyan always wore a frightening smile that made me worry as she shook her head .

Though she denied it, her smile really didn’t help to reassure me .

Vyvyan twisted her body . She then released her hand and said, “Son, did you have a dream? Did you see a burnt forest and a huge animal in your dream?”

I froze up at first, but then I remembered Mom’s magic was mind reading, so it wasn’t hard for her to know what my dream was .

I nodded and then replied, “Mom, does that mean something? Is the dream a prophecy or something?”

“No, Son . ” Vyvyan shook her head . She then looked into my eyes .

I noticed a tinge of nostalgia and sadness as she continued, “That wasn’t foresight or an omen . To the contrary, it was an event in the past . That was Mommy’s dream, just now . That is your father’s memory . ”

“My father… Inard’s memory? Isn’t he dead? … Didn’t he die…”

“On the way to slay dragons . ” Vyvyan cut me off to answer the question first . She then continued uneasily, “Onii-sama transmitted this memory back . I’m not sure what this memory means . I don’t know if Onii-sama died at that time or if he lived for much longer after . I also don’t know what Onii-sama is trying to express through the dream . I was taking care of you, when you were still young, at the time so I didn’t go there . Afterwards, I heard the news that Onii-sama had passed on . ”

I noticed Mom’s blue eyes quiver . I lowered my head and softly said, “Sorry, Mom…”

“Silly child . It’s not your fault . ”

Vyvyan stroked my face with a smile and then continued, “I think that Onii-sama was very frank and poised when he was faced with death . I don’t know why Onii-sama transmitted the memory into my mind . Perhaps it was for me to locate the place? Or was it for you to locate that place?”

“Me?”

“Yes . This memory should be for you . However, since your mana is berserk, I received it in your place . ” Vyvyan looked at me as she continued, “Bloodlines are tied with mana . Family members related by blood can transmit feelings and memories to each other . That said, one requires a very high level of mana purity to be able to accomplish that feat . Normally speaking, only the Galadriel tribe, and a small number of magician families, can use it . Ah, Lucia can, too . ”

I looked at Mom and asked the question I wanted an answer to most, “Mom, are we related to dark elves…?”

“Son, we are dark elves . ” Vyvyan smiled helplessly as she looked at me and explained, “However, we are successful dark elves . Our Galadriel tribe is a tribe of successful dark elves . Through draining the mana of other elves, we were able to strengthen our mana . We would accumulate enough mana and then give birth to our descendants . The purpose of dark elves is to drain the mana of others . We are just like other elves during the day . Actually, we are normal elves that have the ability to master a forbidden magical skill . In other words, Mommy’s mother, and Mommy’s father, and Mommy’s ancestors drained the power of even more people and gave birth to Mommy . ”

Vyyvyan shook her head . She then stroked my face and then elaborated, “Mera and her tribe were unsuccessful elves . They were unable to benefit from magic and instead were cursed, which is why we must kill them . They can’t reveal our secret . We cannot allow others to know that we are dark elves . Do you understand now, Son?”

I nodded, despite understanding but also not understanding .

‘Honestly, if that were the case, I don’t think there’s an issue with Mom being a dark elf . She’s no longer the accumulation of blood she originally was . Further, Mom is wise and farsighted . There shouldn’t be a problem with this sort of dark elf, right? I’ve become numb to my bloodline long ago . As to whether or not I’m a dark elf, I’m not bothered . ’

Even if I am, I don’t need to suck blood .

“Th-Then what about my child with Lucia…?”

“He or she will be an ordinary elf, because you didn’t inherit all of our tribe’s blood, Son . ” Vyvyan stroked my head with a smile .

She then kissed me on my lips, giggled softly, and said, “Keep sleeping, Son . Mommy wants to watch you like this some more… Mommy wants to watch your sleeping face…”

Vyvyan waved her hand gently, and everything before my eyes went dark . I had more questions after that night .

‘I don’t know what meaning this has, but… but I think I might find out the answer when I don’t want to know…’
