Raising A Few Wives in a Beast Apocalypse

Downstairs…

"So where do I start?" Elsa asked the others since she wasn't sure what they wanted to know and what they already knew.

"Well, we can all figure out the general idea. You killed your last beast and evolved; your Fairy Embryo obviously got involved at some point, and then the giant appeared. So I guess all you need to do is fill in the gaps. Like, was that the fairy after hatching, getting birthed or whatever it that it does?… If so, why the hell was it so big and strong? And things like that." Muku immediately gave Elsa some guidelines on where to start.

The others silently agreed. There really was no need to go through everything. After all, they were already veterans who had been through a lot. So, for the general stuff, they were all quite knowledgeable.

"Oh, okay, I'll do that then", Elsa replied while thinking of where to start within the guidelines she had received. Not to mention that it was the first time she would have to talk so much ever since she joined the group. On top of that, she was addressing the whole group, so she didn't know where to look.

"Okay...I, ah..." Her mind went blank when she looked around the room and saw so many pairs of eyes fixated on her. As a Rank One, she could now vaguely sense their suppressed strength, which felt slightly heavy to her. She felt like a little human being looked at by giants.

"Calm down, no need to be nervous. There's no stranger or any new people here. Not to mention that you cost me some of my food, so you better speak clearly," Emily spoke while trying to ease her sister's nerves. Her first words didn't help much but the last one did the trick.

"Is your food enough to hold a grudge against your own sister?" Elsa retorted while rolling her eyes at her sister who had suddenly become a foodie. Though she could understand, Rank Two meat was just that good.

"Okay. So where was I"? Elsa asked. After Emily's intervention, she had visibly gotten a lot more confident. As always, before your spouse, it's always your siblings who know how to push your buttons the best.

"You hadn't said anything yet stupid" Emily didn't take long to reply.

"I know. I was just saying" Elsa replied with a vein popping out of her forehead.

"Okay, so initially I awakened a different class..." Without waiting for Emily to say anything, Elsa continued speaking. She went on to explain everything to the others.

"So you're saying that you initially awoke a weaker class due to your limited affinity. But then the Fairy Embryo got involved and your class and affinity were both improved?...how wondrous!" Muku repeated what Elsa said after she finished speaking. His voice was full of wonder. How could it not when he discovered that apparently affinity could be raised.

"Yes," Elsa replied. Her tone was a lot more relaxed. It seemed that the experience might have been just what she needed to get closer to the rest.

"Wait, does that mean that if I'm lucky I can find something to increase my affinity with and upgrade my class to legendary?" Jade interjected herself into the conversation excitedly. She hadn't been paying too much attention before.

"Well, based on this...I guess so. But from this very case, we can at least tell that just because you find the opportunity, it doesn't mean you'll get it" Muku found no reason to reject Jade's hypothesis. But he still made sure she understood that it wouldn't be guaranteed even if it was like that.

"Tsk, you just have to pop my bubble huh?... And I understand it seems to rely on what element you have. I'm not an idiot after all" Jade replied to Muku while rolling her eyes. She was starting to wonder if he really thought that she never used her brain.

"Oh, so you actually used your brain this time. Good for you, keep it up" Apparently Muku really did think that she didn't use her brain in normal cases from his words. Not to mention that he was even patting her head as he spoke.

Slap!

"Hmph!" Jade made an annoyed sound after she slapped Muku's hand away. She then looked away from him, expressing her stance to not want to talk to him anymore. If it was any other time she would have been happy to get the legendary head pat she and the others had wanted so much. But sadly the reason she was getting it wouldn't let her enjoy it.

"Anyway, let's continue. So you said that it really was the fairy's form, just magnified? And the reason for its strength was because of the extra energy that had been left over from the time it was an unowned fairy, which it had to get rid of since it was unpure?" Muku continued asking questions to make sure that he understood things correctly. Since Jade was ignoring him, he'd do the same.

"Yes, and the reason why I was unbearably hungry before was that the fairy needed new energy, which it obtained from my body. My body is like a purifier for the energy. And it's also why I wasn't overwhelmed by the energy since most of it went to the fairy," Elsa replied, as well as offered more information for clarification to anything that wasn't clear.

"So the fairy is like a symbiote? You give it energy and it improves your strength?" Layla, who hadn't spoken since the beginning, finally made her thoughts known.

"Yes, I guess you can put it like that...and when I and it get a little stronger in the future, I can also summon it to fight alongside me", Elsa replied excitedly. After all, what little girl didn't like fairies? Hell, hearing her words the other girls in the group felt rather jealous. Why didn't they get fairies!? Totally unfair!

"Oh, good for you then", Layla replied before getting up with a little jealousy on her face.

Audrey, who noticed it since she spent a lot of her time looking at her daughter, couldn't help but smile wryly. She had long noticed that while her daughter wasn't a bad person by any means. She was also the type of person who didn't like it when someone had something she liked while she didn't. Luckily it only ended in a pout.

"So, what do you want as a present for reaching Rank One"? Muku asked Elsa with a fatherly smile on his face.

"Hey! Why didn't we get any presents then!?" Jade, who had decided to ignore Muku for the rest of the day, immediately complained.

"Well for the others, I simply couldn't afford to do such a thing then. As for you, even if I was able to, I wouldn't have. Why would I give a present to such an ungrateful brat like you?" Muku replied with a natural expression as if he was saying the most natural thing in the world. Which honestly he was...

"Tsk, like I'd want a present from you anyway" Jade, who couldn't think of any way to refute his words, just replied in the best way she knew how. Which was to shamelessly backtrack from her own words.

"Good. Then I won't have to bother getting you anything when I get something for the others in the future right"? Muku teased her a bit more.

"Try it if you dare!" Jade immediately snapped while glaring at Muku with her glowing green eyes. While she was okay with refusing when it was just talk, she wouldn't be so quiet to compromise when something tangible was up for grabs.

"Tsk! Hypocrite!" Emily commented with a slightly disdainful look on her face.

"Whatever" Jade replied uncaringly. As long as she got the gift. Everything else didn't matter. Who cared about face? Can it be eaten? Worn maybe? The answer is obviously no!

"Jade's hypocrisy aside, what do you want Elsa"? Muku spoke, not forgetting where the whole conversation began before Jade's interjection.

"I...can we go back to kill more beasts today?" Elsa asked hesitantly. She wasn't sure if she was asking too much. After all, the rain had only stopped an hour before and Muku and the others didn't seem to be in the mood to go out. But she just couldn't wait to get stronger.

"Oh, so that's what you want... I like it, sure! We can go right now even. Since it's so abrupt, whoever doesn't want to come can stay behind" Muku replied with a smile on his face. He quite liked it when kids were driven like Elsa appeared to be. He immediately got up, ready to leave. They had already eaten and relaxed for a while after, so there was no reason to wait.

"Wait, Big Brother!" Hope called out as she ran toward Muku who was already at the door with Elsa excitedly walking behind him. The two kinda seemed like a father and his tomboy daughter about to go on a new adventure.

"Yes?... Oh, I guess I was a bit too rushed and didn't give you all a chance to think about what you want to do. Is that it? So you want to come along?" Muku asked Hope after stopping at the door. He was more than willing to take anyone willing to go with him. After all, while he was confident in his strength, it was never a bad thing to have an extra pair of hands.

"No...well yes. But that's not the problem right now. I was wondering... When are you planning on giving us the presents?" Hope replied, getting straight to the point.

"Hhm?...oh, oh! That! I was just playing with Jade there...are no...real... I'll get you all your presents within a week," Muku, who was about to clarify that he was only playing with Jade before, immediately changed his statement.

He could feel multiple gazes on him that were getting more and more intense as he spoke. He could subconsciously sense that if he had said that there were no presents, then he might not have lived to see the next day.

Even Layla, who had left before, had come back at some point and was looking at him intensely along with the rest.

Seeing their gazes made him realise that he had dug his own grave. And he would have been thrown into it if he hadn't changed his statement.

"Oh, okay. Thank you for being so thoughtful brother. But you didn't have to, though," Hope spoke with a sunny smile on her aura. The complete opposite of what was about to come out of Muku had said the wrong thing. Even the others who hadn't said anything from start to finish were also smiling merrily for no apparent reason to the untrained eye.

At that moment, Muku thought of one legendary statement by a wise sage...
