Weakest Beast Tamer Gets All SSS Dragons novel Chapter 731

Chapter 731 -731 – Taming the Fifth Year – First Dialogue

The second day of practice arrived slower than Luna expected.

She hadn’t slept much.

Every time she’d closed her eyes, she’d replayed the dance…

Every word, every look and every second where Ren’s finger had been so close to her lips.

The memory made her heart do strange things even now, hours later, when she should have been rested and composed and ready to face this ‘professionally’.

She couldn’t wait any longer to see him again…

But when she found herself standing in front of the ballroom, she stopped. Her hand on the door. Her heart doing strange things in her chest that were definitely not appropriate for the Starweaver heiress.

‘Calm down,’ she ordered herself. ‘It’s just dance practice. It’s just Ren. It’s just…’

‘Perfect… Why does he have to be so perfect? Why does he have to say exactly the right words? Why does he have to look at me like I’m the only person in the world who matters?’

The questions spiraled before she could stop them. Before the careful control she’d rebuilt overnight could contain the chaos underneath.

‘And that moment at the end! WHAT WAS THAT? How am I supposed to process that? How am I supposed to act normal after that?’

‘”Think about it tonight,” he said. THINK ABOUT IT! Like I could think about ANYTHING else!’

Her expression didn’t change.

Perfectly controlled. The mask she’d spent years perfecting firmly in place.

But inside she was a disaster.

‘It’s okay. It’s okay. Breathe. Analyze this rationally.’

Rational… She could do rational. Rational was her specialty when emotions threatened to overwhelm her.

‘Ren wants to help. That’s… that’s good. That’s what I need. Him being able to help with his incredible abilities but without ruining everything.’

The logic made sense and the reasoning was sound.

So why did it feel like walking toward something terrifying instead of helpful?

‘No use in waiting anymore… Don’t be a coward, me!’

She opened the door.

Ren was already there, waiting in the center of the floor like the day before. His posture relaxed but attentive.

Not anxious or uncertain.

Just… present.

And when he saw her enter, his eyes lit up with something Luna didn’t know how to name.

But that made the warmth in her chest expand until it felt like it might consume her entirely.

The memories from the day before overflowed again…

‘But he said “important.” He said “personally.” That means…’

‘What does that mean?’

‘Does it mean he likes me? Like… LIKES likes me? Or just as an important friend? Is there a difference? SHOULD there be a difference?’

‘And why am I thinking about this when I have much more serious problems! I have to recover Mom’s heart! I have to deal with my uncles! I have to…’

‘…admit that when he dances with me it feels like the rest of the world disappears and only we exist and that’s terrifying and wonderful at the same time and I don’t know how to process that.’

‘No! Focus! Maintain control…’

She walked toward him with measured steps. Perfectly spaced and perfectly calculated.

As if she wasn’t internally debating between running toward him or fleeing the hall.

As if every step didn’t require a huge conscious effort to maintain the composure when her instincts were screaming contradictory instructions.

Ren extended his hand.

Luna took it.

The contact sent that now-familiar warmth through her.

And they began to dance.
