Raising A Few Wives in a Beast Apocalypse

Stay updated with My Virtual Library Empire

Back at the stadium…

It still rained heavily. While Muku or one of the others could oversee Freya's group's evolution since it didn't rain in the barrier. They were all no longer in the mood for such. So, Muku just provided them with the necessary weapons. Then told them to deal with it themselves if they wanted to and left.

While it did make Freya and the others a bit sad that they were basically ditched for the night. They didn't hold hard feelings since they had already received too much help from Muku's group. Not to mention that all of them had seen the giant avatar from before. So, they completely understood why they were being ditched.

They weren't sure what the incident was about, but they knew it was related to Muku's group. After all, it had happened in the direction they had gone, soon after they went. But like the ants they were. They dared not ask questions. They already knew all they needed to know. Which was that Muku's group was amazing and unbelievably strong.

So, they quickly got to killing. They didn't choose to wait for Muku since they knew that soon he wouldn't be an option to rely on. So it was better not to be too dependent on him from the start. Even Freya was of the same mind. Unfortunately for her, fate had other plans. She had no idea what an odd future awaited her as she stabbed her sword into her last unranked beast kill that mattered, and her evolution began.

….….

The next morning…

"So how is she?" Muku asked the red-eyed Emily just as she came down the stairs to join the others for breakfast.

"She hasn't woken up yet, but she seems stable", Emily replied as she tiredly slumped down onto her seat.

"Even knowing that you still robbed yourself of sleep due to your unnecessary worrying, I bet" Jade immediately mocked her best friend with a look of disdain on her face.

"Sigh, whatever. I'm not in the mood to play with you right now" Emily, who didn't know how to argue in her defence since what Jade said was true, chose not to argue at all.

"Tsk, you think I want to play with you either you worry-wart.? Sorry, but I got better things to do," Jade snapped at Emily, then focused on her food again.

Emily, who was busy serving herself some food, didn't bother replying. She really hadn't slept much. And while in normal cases, with her level of strength,, it wouldn't have phased her. This time, it was different since she had been worrying about Elsa too much, which had drained her mentally. So while her body and strength were still as strong as ever, they just mimicked what she felt. Which was weak and sluggish.

"Why didn't anyone wake me up? I could have heated up the food a lot better than normal fire" Emily asked the others after biting into the meat that was warm on the outside but cold on the inside. Her question was a valid one, too, since normally she was always there when breakfast was prepared. Whether for the initial cooking or heating. After all, her fire really was a lot better when dealing with beast meat than regular fire.

"Jade tried but you wouldn't wake up. I suggested trying harder, but she stopped me, saying that we should let y…mph," Hope replied. But before she could finish, her mouth was covered by an embarrassed Jade who had appeared from the other side of the table in less than a second.

"Ahem, what she meant was that we all unanimously decided to let you sleep…Right, Hope?" Jade immediately spoke after covering Hope's mouth not letting anyone else speak. She even gave Hope a threatening look as she did so.

"Y…Yeah. I was mistaken. We all agreed to let you sleep. Forget everything I said before" Hope, who gave in easily whenever threatened, immediately changed her statement to match Jade's. Though, of course, everyone could clearly see what was going on. Especially with Jade nodding along triumphantly by the side.

"It definitely wasn't Jade's idea when she stopped Layla from waking with a little ice" Sadly, Jade had celebrated too early as Hope wasn't done speaking, and she immediately sold her out with her last words. Though there really was no way Emily hadn't figured out the truth.

"Hope!" Jade shouted out in disbelief. How can anyone be so clueless when it comes to lying.?

"Don't shout at her, I know you love me."Emily,, who was feeling better after eating, immediately teased Jade. She had already been thinking of how she was going to get back at her. But she never thought that her chance would come so soon.

"Shut up! You don't know anything! She doesn't know anything! Don't listen to her! And isn't it only natural to worry about a team-mate"? Jade tried to defend herself with her face red from embarrassment. Sadly for her, the more she talked, the less believable she seemed.

"Hehe" Emily didn't say anything, but her little laugh said all that she wanted to say.

"Hmph!, whatever! I'm outta here!" Jade spoke before leaving. She reasoned that since she couldn't win the argument, she might as well leave the table. And so, with her plate full of meat in hand, she headed upstairs.

Emily didn't say anything more to provoke her. She knew that it was already her win, so there was no need.

....

Upstairs...

"Mmh", Elsa, who had been unconscious since the previous evening, finally started to steer. Her voice leaked out of her mouth as she did so.

Grrrr

Suddenly, a foreign sound to her rang out from her body. She immediately clutched her stomach.

"I'm hungry!" She exclaims to herself as she gets off the bed and runs for the door. She could smell something good just outside of it.

Bang!

She pulls the door open with so much strength that it slams into the wall.

"Hhm?" Jade, who was passing by with her food, made a confused sound as she saw the door getting slammed open and an almost mad Elsa lunging toward her.

"Food!" Elsa shouted as she aimed to grab Jade's plate.

"Not my food!" Jade exclaimed as she jumped away to avoid Elsa.

"What!?" She exclaimed in surprise again as a hand made out of water extended out of Elsa's hand.

It then grabbed the largest piece of meat from her place before she could react. And then retracted back to Elsa until it was completely gone, leaving the large piece of meat in Elsa's hand. Surprisingly the piece of meat wasn't drenched in water despite being grabbed by it.

"No! My meat!...You little brat! The first thing you do after evolving is steal my food!?" Jade screamed out in horror as she looked at Elsa bite into her meat.

"Wait...that's Rank 2 meat! Spit it out! So you want to explode!?" Jade screamed again, this time in real horror. Even though Elsa had evolved to rank one. She was still too weak to consume Rank Two meat. She had to reach at least the peak before that.

Unfortunately, by the time Jade realised the graveness of the issue, Elsa was already taking the last bite. All that was left in her hands was the bone.

"Emily!!!" Jade, who couldn't think of what to do next, did the only thing she could think to do. Which was obviously to call Emily and let her deal with things.

"What!? What!? You've been screaming a lot up here. What's happeni... Oh no!" Emily complained as she connected the dots at what had happened the moment she saw the bone in Elsa's hand and her greasy lips.

The others who came after Emily were also shocked and horrified by what they saw. While Elsa's body was able to eject the energy before. That was only because the amount wasn't too much. But this time...

"...."

"...."

"...."

"Okay! What's going on here!?" Muku finally couldn't take the silence.

They had all been looking at Elsa in horror for close to a minute. Waiting for something bad to happen, but nothing happened. All they got was Elsa blinking back at them quietly. Honestly, by the end of it that kinda seemed like idiots.

"Umm, thank you all for worrying, but the little fairy took care of the extra energy. It was actually the one that directed me to the meat since it needed the energy" Seeing that they had calmed down, Elsa finally spoke.

"Why didn't you say that sooner then!?" Emily speaks as she walks up to Elsa and flicks her forehead.

"Don't scare me like that again you understand!?" Emily continued speaking without waiting for Elsa to say anything as she also took her in her embrace and silently wept.

"I'm sorry sis, I won't do it again. And I know you all have questions. And I'm ready to answer anything that I can," Elsa consoled her big sister, then addressed the others.

"Great! Let's go downstairs and discuss while sitting down then!" Jade, who had already forgotten everything, spoke as she pushed Elsa and Emily toward the stairs.

"Also, Emily you're going to have to reimburse me for the meat your sister snatched from me" Or not...Jade will always be Jade it seemed.
