Weakest Beast Tamer Gets All SSS Dragons novel Chapter 186

"You’ll have to be very careful," Larissa whispered, "not to tell anyone that all three of us are double tamers now."

Luna frowned. "What are you talking about? We’re not..."

A faint glow suddenly enveloped the two girls, so brief it could have been mistaken for a flicker of the lamps.

Larissa covered her mouth in feigned surprise while her cousins stared at her with enormous eyes, suddenly understanding.

"Oh," Larissa smiled behind her hand. "It seems we’re all the same."

"You..." Liora looked at her empty cup. "The drink..."

"Did you just...?" Luna seemed at a loss for words.

"Give you potions?" Larissa completed cheerfully. "Of course. We’re family after all."

"But..." Liora whispered, "my father wanted..."

"But your grandmother will surely be delighted," Larissa assured. "The Ashenways support female double tamers, right?"

"You don’t understand... my grandmother was..."

Luna wasn’t faring better.

"The few men left in the family... My father is going to..." Luna murmured.

"They don’t have to find out," Larissa winked. "Not until it’s too late to do anything about it."

The two girls fell silent processing what had just happened, wasn’t it too late already? Their beasts stirred within them.

"Why?" Liora finally asked.

"Because things have to change," Larissa responded, her expression becoming serious for the first time. "We can prove that we’re valuable investments too."

"Investments?" Luna looked at her curiously.

"Oh yes," Larissa smiled mysteriously. "For the future... one that promises very interesting things. Especially now that a certain boy with glowing mushrooms is involved."

"Larissa..." Liora began, but her cousin interrupted her.

"Now," Larissa clasped her hands with enthusiasm, "what beasts would you like as second companions?"

The two girls stared at her open-mouthed at her casual change of topic, but Larissa only smiled more broadly.

"What?" she asked with feigned innocence. "Don’t tell me you’ve never dreamed of having a second beast? I have several ideas..."

Her mineral fairy glowed cheerfully while she began enumerating possibilities, leaving her cousins still trying to process how their life had just changed with a simple cup of tea.

"Fifty more!" Ren ordered, his mushrooms pulsing in red and yellow with what seemed like too much joy.

"But we already did a hundred!" Min complained, his arms trembling.

"Oh?" Ren smiled in a disturbingly similar way to Lin. "You want them to be a hundred more then?"

"No!" three voices responded in unison.

"Master Lin will be proud," Ren commented while watching his friends suffer. "You’re learning the importance of not complaining."

Taro tried to say something, but only managed an exhausted groan.

Knocks on the door interrupted the torture session.

Ren went to open it, finding Julius and Victor.

"I see you’re busy," Julius smiled seeing the three boys practically melting on the floor.

"Just some basic training," Ren responded innocently.

"About the scorpion cores," Julius went straight to the point. "Since you took the trouble to work on them, could I take them? We want to do some experiments."

"Experiments?"

"We’re trying to understand how Yino gets their abyssal beasts," Julius explained.

Ren nodded. "Of course. I can also give you the crystals from the leftover scales..."

"Not necessary," Julius shook his head. "In fact, you can keep ten of the cores and the remaining crystals to do your own experiments."

"Thanks," Ren added, "But they still need to be filled with a hundred thousand mana crystals each."

Victor, who had been observing silently, stepped forward. "Do you know how to make other types of eggs besides those scorpions?"
