Weakest Beast Tamer Gets All SSS Dragons novel Chapter 878

Chapter 878: Chapter 878 - Taming the Fifth Year - Commitment

Although everything was better now, the girls didn’t treat her like always, that was evident in every interaction.

There was a certain atmosphere of worry permeating the room when they thought Luna wasn’t paying attention.

Looks they exchanged when believing she didn’t notice. Conversations stopped abruptly when she entered the room at an inopportune moment. Excessive care in how they formulated comments to avoid touching topics that might be sensitive.

Each instance was small... But the accumulated weight was now considerable.

They were walking on eggshells. Trying so hard not to hurt her that every interaction felt a bit less than natural.

It was frustrating in ways Luna couldn’t express without sounding ungrateful for the genuine concern it represented.

She understood it came from a place of love and desire to protect her from any additional pain.

Larissa’s protective instinct was particularly strong. Had been since Luna returned to the room. Manifested as hypervigilance about Luna’s emotional state, constant monitoring for signs of distress.

Liora’s concern was more subtle. Showed through careful word choices, through offering support obliquely rather than directly, through being available without being intrusive.

Matilda and Maria were somewhere between. Defaulted to treating Luna with extra gentleness that felt infantilizing despite good intentions.

But simultaneously Luna hated being treated like she was fragile. Like the revelation about her situation had transformed her into something needing handling with extreme care.

She wasn’t broken. Wasn’t about to shatter if someone mentioned the topic anymore...

But convincing them of that was difficult when they’d seen her at her lowest point. When their fear of her returning to that state and making distance again overrode their ability to treat her normally.

If she insisted she was fine and brought the topic, they’d think she was acting tough or in denial. If she admitted she struggled, they’d increase this protective behavior.

No good options.

So she accepted it, tried to be patient... Hoped eventually they’d relax enough to stop treating her like delicate glass.

Only Mayo remained mostly Mayo, that at least was constant. Comforting amid changes in dynamics.

Though still complicated in certain ways.

Still made inappropriate comments causing everyone to roll their eyes. Still had energy seeming inexhaustible even after everything. Still possessed that particular brand of chaos that made her simultaneously endearing and exhausting.

But even she contained herself slightly more than before. Not by her choice...

Automatic censorship from the other girls would be activating when a comment she’d normally release without thinking touched too close to topics sensitive for Luna.

Example:

Mayo had been about to make a joke about family pressure...

And Matilda and Maria punished her more aggressively

Not meanly. Just... firmly.

"Ow! What..."

"Think before speaking," Matilda had said flatly. "That’s the new rule for you."

Mayo had looked confused for maybe 2 seconds. Then understanding had dawned.

"She is fine. I wasn’t..."

"I am," Luna had interrupted. "It’s fine. I like her acting normally better."

But it wasn’t fine. Not because the comment hurt, but because the correction itself reminded her she was being treated differently.

Yet it was better than the alternative.

Better than isolation. Better than carrying everything alone.

Not ideal. Not comfortable.

But better. And better was enough for now.

And since that day after hearing Luna say "It’s fine. I like her acting normally better." They relaxed a bit.
