Raising A Few Wives in a Beast Apocalypse

"Alright alright, I'll keep quiet. Gosh, why are you lashing at me? I'm not the one who turned you into a 7-year-old kid" Muku replied complainingly.

How can such a cute-looking kid have such a nasty temper? And why direct it at him?

Sure, he might have gone overboard with his laughing by a bit, but that didn't warrant such a reaction.

"Tsk. Whatever... Now where was I? Oh, right. Thank you for this experience, Ma'am. I'm forever in your debt" Raya didn't entertain Muku anymore.

She couldn't risk making herself look even worse in front of Mrs C. No one wanted to look bad in front of their idols after all. If Muku wasn't so annoying there was no way she would have exploded like that...

"There's no need for thanks child. I just gave you what you earned" Mrs C replied to Raya calmly with a gentle smile.

She completely ignored the little episode between Raya and Muku. After all. It was their matter to deal with. With their soul link, they were practically siblings, and like most siblings, fights between them were to be expected.

With that said, Raya tried to get up from the ground as she wanted to bow to Mrs C. However, her legs wouldn't listen to her.

The structure between beast legs and human legs was quite different after all. So, it took Raya a little time to properly understand how they worked. It was only then that she managed to get up.

However, she still couldn't walk. Just standing was all she could do for the time being. Even that was hard for her, which was apparent from how shaky her legs were.

Pah!

"Hey!" Raya screamed annoyedly after she was hit in the face by a cloth. It didn't hurt but the force it was thrown with was definitely not friendly. And she instantly knew who through it.

"Oh shut up. Unlike you beasts, humans have what's known as decency, at the very least our bodies can't be randomly displayed for the world to see. Put that on quietly already" Muku replied before Raya could shout at him.

His words made the words Raya was about to speak go back down her throat. Her eyes slowly looked down at her naked body and then...

"Ahhhhhhhhhhhhh! What are you looking at you pervert!? Look away now!" Raya screeched as loudly as she could.

What was interesting was how she covered her body with the dress Muku through at her as she screamed. The interesting part was how she shouldn't have reacted so intensely even if Muku told her that she was naked. After all, she was a dragon, she shouldn't have had a deep enough understanding of human culture to act like that. Yet there she was, acting exactly like you'd expect any human girl would do in the situation.

What Muku didn't know was that she had gotten a thorough understanding of human culture from his memories.

While going through the memories, she felt like she lived them along with him but in an invisible state.

Of course that wasn't true. It was just her own feelings getting influenced by the memories. Anyway, it was enough for her to know that human girls shouldn't casually show their bodies to anyone. Only their husbands should see them naked. And that was for when they were at least 18 years old.

She wasn't sure what a husband was since she didn't see all the memories. However, she was certain that Muku wasn't her husband and she was way too young for such a thing anyway.

And that's why she acted the way she did. Instead of embarrassment, it was mostly her reaction to something she thought was wrong.

"Okay, okay. I won't look. Just stop overreacting. You're literally a seven-year-old child right now. What's there to look at anyway? Do I look like a lolicon to you" Muku replied while looking away.

His expression turned quite dark from her reaction which made him seem like some pervert. Couldn't she tell from his stable state of mind through the soul-link that he didn't think of anything in particular when looking at her?

"Hehe" Mrs C laughed to herself while enjoying the show.

She liked how she was never bored when the two were around. And now she was looking on as Raya tried to figure out how to wear the dress and Muku looked at the wall in the opposite direction of Raya as if it had killed his family while cursing under his breath.

After watching for a little bit longer she walked toward Raya then helped her put on the dress and underwear Muku threw at her.

They were too big for the little girl since Muku had them made for his girls during his "childhood month".

But that wasn't a problem since they were magical. So without delay, they shrank to match the little dragon girl's body size.

It was only then that Muku was told to stop facing the wall. And it was Mrs C who said something. Raya seemed to have wanted him to stay like that forever. Anyway, they moved on from the incident after that.

Raya who still couldn't walk flew towards the couch and took a seat. Her time was over, it was time to see what Muku got. Would her reward be better or will his be better?

Or maybe their rewards will be the same and he'll be turned into a beast of something. Speaking of which, did humans gain a beast transformation at R5 like beasts got a human transformation?

Wouldn't it be quite interesting if they did? At the very least, fantasy novel lovers who had survived the apocalypse up to reaching R5 would be very happy. After all, just the idea of changing into something else, like a huge dragon or something, was enough to get them excited.

Well, that information wasn't known to Raya or Muku yet. After all, they hadn't yet come across a human who had reached R5.

There was Mrs C who was definitely way stronger than R5. But they didn't know if she was really human. It was highly likely that she was, but until it was confirmed, it was okay for them to doubt, right?

"Don't worry children, I am one hundred percent human. As for what humans get from reaching R5... I won't say anything and leave it as a surprise. And I have to say, your soul link is quite interesting. To think that one person's thoughts were able to influence the other into thinking the same thing. I don't know if that's a good thing or a bad thing. Well, whatever, I'm sure you'll figure it out if it's problematic. And it's not my problem so I don't have to think about it. Let's move on" Mrs C who just happened to read Muku and Raya's minds one after the other replied to what she wasn't asked.

Muku and Raya just quietly rolled their eyes at how she was back to reading their minds. Though actually, Raya only thought about rolling them. Even if she didn't think Mrs C would pettily do something to her for that, she still didn't dare. It was better to be safe than sorry.

After that, they both focused on Mrs C as they wanted to see what she was going to give to Muku. At least they confirmed her race from the mind reading, right?

"Before I show you what I gave for you, do you care to guess what it is? I'll give you twice the rewards if you guess right. By that I mean, you'll get both the original reward and one other which will be just as good if not better than the first one. So what say you? You have nothing to lose, after all.." Mrs C spoke to Muku with a mischievous smile on her face and a playfulness radiated out of her eyes.

"You're going to toss me into another trial as a sick joke of a reward?" Muku took a guess while looking at his mother with a wary expression on his face.

"Oh come on! Is that even a proper guess? Am I such a person to you?... Hey! How dare you nod?! Anyway, you're wrong. That's not it. But since you're my son, I'm going to give you two more chances. Try again, and think a bit more seriously this time. After all, there's an extra reward at stake here. And I can guarantee you that the first one will be great..." Mrs C annoyedly replied but still gave Muku two more shots.

She was just enjoying talking to him some more before their looming separation. So she didn't mind the delays. And she was sure he wouldn't guess right even if she gave him ten thousand tries.

Well, he might guess it right with so many tries but it was still unlikely. Anyway, she looked at Muku waiting for his next guess. This time he looked a lot more serious than before.

She excitedly held off from reading his mind, not wanting to ruin the fun for herself.

"Umm, you're good to cut my soul-link with this unreliable dragon with no consequences to me?" Muku tried again with a serious expression on his face.

"Hey! Are you forgetting that you would have died to that green Monarch phantom if it wasn't because of me?!" Before Mrs C could reply, Raya complained from her couch.

"No, that's not it" Mrs C replied while shaking her head.

"Oh... Can you just tell me or do it? I really suck at guessing" Muku gave up. He was really terrible at guessing after all.

"Tsk, fine... Party popper" Mrs C replied dejectedly and then snapped her fingers.

A blinding light appeared in the room which forced Muku and Raya to close their eyes.

Fortunately, it didn't last long. Muku slowly opened his eyes while looking in front of him then suddenly his eyes snapped wide open in surprise.

"Impossible!" He exclaimed in shock...
