Weakest Beast Tamer Gets All SSS Dragons novel Chapter 1043

Chapter 1043: Chapter 1043 - Taming Normalcy

Mayo was at the open door at the angle she had when she was waiting for someone to suffer some fun scenario and wanted to see it but didn’t want it to be apparent that she had been waiting long enough that the wait merited mention.

"Good morning, Lord Ren," said Mayo.

"Good morning, Mayo."

"Matilda wants to know whether Lord Ren prefers the juice before or after breakfast." A pause of exactly the correct duration. "Maria also wants to know whether Lord Ren slept well. And whether he has plans for this morning."

"Juice after," said Ren. "Slept well... And yes I’ll let her know."

He already knew the way to avoid her jokes or further questions.

"Perfect." Mayo wrote something in the small notebook she carried. "Matilda and Maria will be very pleased to know."

Matilda, from the side corridor, manifested in her face none of the emotion Mayo had just attributed to her. She simply made the gesture of someone confirming the information had been received.

María appeared from the other corridor with the tray of morning cloths and the expression of someone who had learned that in this house the order of things was more suggested than established, and that the best strategy was to be available for whatever order arrived rather than preparing for a particular one.

The kitchen smelled the way the kitchen smelled when Anuar was in it. Experimental.

It was a different smell from when Ren’s parents cooked, they had the technique of decades in the trade and the knowledge of people who knew exactly how they liked each thing to be, but who took the occasional break at Ren’s request, content in the slower pace that retirement allowed.

Anuar worked differently. He had the enthusiasm of someone who learned fast and compensated with energy what he still lacked knowledge, the forward-leaning quality of a person always a step ahead of their own skill level, reaching for things they hadn’t quite locked in yet.

The result was sufficiently good.

Generally.

"Lord Ren!" said Anuar, with the energy of someone who had been waiting for this specific moment to confirm something that mattered to him. "Breakfast has been ready for five minutes. Li said you’d be down in ten, so I calculated exactly when to take things off the heat so they’d be perfect by the time you arrived and..."

"It was fine ten minutes ago too," said Li, leaning out from the end of the kitchen where he was sitting on the edge of the counter with the informality he had in all the spaces he considered his in some sense, which was basically any space where he had been for more than five minutes.

"It isn’t the same," said Anuar, with the dignity of someone defending something that mattered to him.
