Raising A Few Wives in a Beast Apocalypse

A while later...

With the Muku and Jade's matter temporarily dealt with. It was time for a serious discussion.

And so, everyone sat on the couches that had increased size to match the number of people present.

"Umm, so, before we talk about anything else, can you please explain to me what the hell is happening?" Muku asked Mrs C.

"What do you mean?" Mrs C replied with a fake confused expression on her face. She was clearly playing dumb.

Her hand was still caressing Hope's hair like a little cat. Though Hope didn't seem to dislike it.

She was sitting in-between Muku and Mrs C so she could cling to her big brother and get head pats from Mrs C. So for her, it was a win-win situation.

"How are we here and why are we ghosts?" The filterless Jade asked.

She felt that Mrs C was probably the most dangerous being they had ever come across but she also felt safe around her at the same time. It was really odd but that's what was going on.

In fact, the weirdness began from how she felt that Mrs C was threatening without feeling threatened. Like her danger sense didn't go off but a gut feeling told her that the lady was not to be messed with. But she still couldn't control her personality to sound less rude. It was especially hard with her unstable state.

But since she was also sure that nothing would happen, she didn't try to control herself.

"My, my. You really are as brash and straightforward as I saw when I was peeking into... Cough... When Muku spoke about you. Well, I suppose my daughters-in-law can't be average people or I'd be disappointed" Mrs C replied with an unoffended smile.

"Why didn't you finish what you were about to say? And she isn't your daughter-in-law. I don't like girls like her. She's too much of a brute for me" Muku interjected.

"Pfft. Yeah right. If you didn't like me, then why did your thing get hard when you peeked at my panties when I fough.... Ow! Hey!" Jade laughed like Muku had said the funniest thing ever.

Emily was a little slow in reacting but she eventually hit the filterless girl in the back of her head.

This was why she always felt nervous having Jade around in such settings. The damned girl would randomly say something inappropriate like it was the most common thing to say in the world.

"What the hell are you talking about? I've never done such a thing! How dare you slander me?!" Muku exclaimed with indignation.

What the hell was the brat saying in front of so many people?! Had she really become so unruly in his absence?! It seems he had to rush back lest she get worse. The nerve!

"Oh please. I'm not the only one who noticed perverted tendencies. Do you think we wouldn't notice it when you sneakily checked us out? Especially when we were fighting while you looked on. You practically stared holes in our backs. And do you really think all those flashes were accidental? Boy please, you think way too little of us. It was quite surprising that even Layla the iceberg would do it to... Ahh!" Jade went on to expose not only Muku and herself, but also the other girls.

She was so dedicated to the mutual destruction that she held Emily at bay with her hands while she spouted everything.

She only stopped when Layla who couldn't take it anymore dove at her from the other couch.

Layla was pissed. Why was she suddenly getting dragged into the matter when she was quietly sitting down?

Was Jade smoking something? And didn't she say that she wouldn't talk to Muku again? So wtf was she doing?

Why was she revealing their closely guarded open secret like that?!

Yeah, it was true. She and the other girls excluding Audrey, Hope, Elsa and Freya purposefully flashed Muku from time to time.

At first, it was a mistake by Jade due to her fighting style. But after the others noticed his quite obvious reaction due to his traitorous grey pants, they wanted to try it too and see if they would get the same reaction.

Fortunately for them, they did get the same result. Or was it Muku's fortune? After all, if he didn't react to them and only reacted to Jade his head would have rolled on the ground a long time ago.

Anyway, after that the girls kind of took it as a competition between them to see who could get him to react the quickest.

But they hadn't been able to get a clear winner up to that point. Muku was such a horn-dog that he would instantly react the moment he saw something. Which was understandable considering his young and vigorous age. But still, it made the girls roll their eyes at how easy he was.

After that, it became more of a stroke of their egos than a competition since they would all get the same result.

It was frustrating that he wouldn't do anything despite all that temptation though. Even worse was how Audrey who didn't put in any effort in turning him on was the one who got the spoils and they got slapped with a two-year ban from such things.

Anyway, it wasn't something Muku was supposed to know. Yet because of a certain blubber mouth, everything was out for the world to see. And it came out in front of their mother-in-law too.

What were they supposed to do now? How could they still look her in the eyes after this?

Chloe and Emily were just as speechless as Layla about what to do. She had really screwed them big time.

Was she trying to make up for all the time she had been away from Muku by dropping a big bomb?... Even then, couldn't she throw her own bomb? What did they do?

Audrey who had long noticed what the girls were doing covered her face with her hands trying to hide her embarrassment. Freya did the same, she hadn't seen anything due to their higher realm which made it hard for her to follow their battles but she believed what Jade said. And it embarrassed her a lot. From how red her face was, one would think she participated.

Hope and Elsa who weren't as "informed" as the others were somewhat clueless. They felt that what was being talked about was dirty somewhere, but they couldn't point it out.

Hope never randomly checked Muku's area and the "react" which was being spoken about wasn't something she knew. Elsa was pretty much the same. They were the good kids growing up. They faithfully didn't look into stuff they shouldn't have looked into.

In fact, let's just say they were lucky not to bump into the stuff like the others since it was how they were usually "introduced" to such things. And it would go downhill from there.

"Cough. Cough. Well... That sounds like something I shouldn't be part of. For that reason, let's skip it for now. You all can continue it in the future when I'm not present. I think we should move on to other matters. How does that sound to you all?" Mrs C spoke awkwardly.

She didn't expect Jade to be so "free". The girl really didn't know when to hold back!

"Yes please. And can you mute that girl for us? I don't want her to start another matter" Muku quickly agreed to her suggestion and even suggested muting Jade.

To the girls it sounded like a joke but then... Mrs C snapped her fingers with a smile and said "Done!".

Jade tried laughing it off thinking that it was a joke then her eyes widened in surprise. She really couldn't make a sound!

She even tried screaming after that and nothing happened. After that, she quietly sat back down with the hope that good behaviour would get her voice back. Despite everything, she was smart enough to know when to proceed and when to retreat after all... Well, in most cases.

And outing herself and the others wasn't part of those most cases... Obviously.

....

"Okay, so, where were we? Right. I was about to tell you how these girls are "ghosts" as chatty Jade put it. Well you see, you're not ghosts but souls. You're all currently having what is known as an out-of-body experience. It's an ability you will gain later on in life after reaching a certain rank. Of course, at first, it will be weak and you won't be able to interact with physical beings. But with me here, that's not a problem right now. I took your souls away from your bodies while you slept and dragged them here through space. It's a lot easier than transporting physical bodies but it's quite dangerous without properly understanding space laws. With that said, you can all take it as a tutorial for the future when you have to do it yourself. You'll find it easier than most after this" Mrs C went on to casually tell the girls how she pulled their souls from their bodies which were in another dimension.

Their mouths went wide open with surprise while Muku smiled like an idiot. He was happy that more people were suffering under Mrs C's casual way of speaking about absurd things. Then...

"Wait... Doesn't this mean you rewarded other people for the trial I suffered through? How's that fair?!" Muku suddenly complained.

Mrs C avoided his gaze with embarrassment written all over her face. She didn't know what to say...
