Raising A Few Wives in a Beast Apocalypse-Chapter 114: Live for them.
"Oh.. everyone please make way, let the person who just spoke come forward," Muku spoke with keen interest while looking in the direction of the voice that just spoke.
If what the person said is true, then all their problems would be fixed. Little Elsa can finally evolve. While no one mentioned it, they were all curious as to what class she’d awaken after the influence of the Fairy Embryo.
Soon, an averagely framed and cute-looking young woman stood in front of Muku nervously. She was the one who had spoken out before. Oddly though, unlike most of the women present, while her clothes did look a bit faded, they weren’t ripped in any way. And the light in her eyes also didn’t seem to have dimmed down like the rest. Which made Muku quickly realise that she might have been one of the few "lucky" ones who had been saved for later.
This would explain why most of the women present didn’t look at her positively. After all, who would like someone who was spared from the torture the rest of them had to face?. Especially when it was something as horrible as being defiled.

And even if it wasn’t that bad, humans generally don’t like others to be in a more fortunate position than them. If they should suffer, then everyone must suffer with them. If they should prosper, they should prosper alone. Is it unreasonable?...No, it’s just human. At least that’s the defence they would give you if you asked for justification.
"No need to be afraid, no one will do anything to you. First tell me, what’s your name?. I’m Muku" Muku spoke in a gentle voice to the young woman. But not before glaring at the women who were giving her the stink eye. After his warning look, they took back their gazes and looked to the ground.
"I..ah, I am F...Freya. I..ah," The girl, named Freya, stuttered all over the place with her low, soft and gentle voice, making it rather hard to understand those around her. Of course, Muku’s team members could make sense of it, but why should they?
"Please, take your time. We’re in no rush. In fact, why don’t you take a few moments to breathe in and out so that you can calm down." And so, Muku interrupted her.
Hearing him speak while she was still speaking or stuttering rather, almost made Freya’s soul jump out of her body. She thought that her nervous way of speaking might have angered him, but quickly calmed down after hearing his calming words. Even the pressure she felt from standing in front of such a strong person lessened.
"R-right, when me and a few of the others we held captive in the stadium. I happened to overhear the bo...the criminal from before mentioned something about an ant colony east of here. He said that there were too many of them, and none of his men had AoE spells, so they couldn’t take care of them without tiring themselves out. Actually, it wasn’t only me who heard this, just that the others were all killed by that monster while "playing with them". It would have been my turn today had..." Freya managed to properly explain after calming down.
She got so confident that at the end, she was displaying an array of emotions, unlike when she began. Her emotions range from anger, fear and sorrow to relief, then disgust, then guilt. It was quite the show with her easy-to-read facial expressions.
"Oh, so that’s what happened. And you don’t need to feel guilty. It wasn’t your fault what happened to them. There’s nothing you could have possibly done about it. You all were just unlucky. Also, you shouldn’t feel disgusted with yourself for being glad that it wasn’t you. Who wouldn’t be happy that they managed to survive such a situation? If you still feel bad about it, then live a life they would all be proud of in their stead, live for them." Muku couldn’t help but try to console Freya.
The poor girl looked like she was about to collapse under her own thoughts let alone the unfriendly gazes she must have been getting for a while. Again he was reminded of the atrocities of the apocalypse. How he and his group were lucky to be strong or who knows where they would be. Or if they would even be alive.
"T-thank you" Freya spoke softly with her eyes teary as her emotions were slowly overcoming her.
"No prob..oof!" Muku, who was replying to Freya, was suddenly interrupted when the girl couldn’t take it anymore and threw herself into his embrace. As a nice guy, of course, he wouldn’t push her away. He could only hug her back until she calmed down. He definitely wasn’t doing it because her body was so soft he didn’t want to let go. And he wasn’t again plagued by the question..." Why are girls so soft"? Because his thoughts were nothing but pure.
"Big brother"
Suddenly a gentle voice sounded from behind him. Both the voice and the words were familiar; he immediately knew who was calling him, but for some reason, he couldn’t help but feel a chill go down his spine.
When he looked back at him, the chill disappeared. I’m it’s place, he now felt like he had been dipped in an ice cold lake. Behind him, he not only saw Hope’s innocent smile. But every other member in his group other than Elsa had the same smile. But while they smiled innocently, their auras stated the opposite. He felt like there were seven chaotic monsters behind him. Luckily they were still in control, and only he could sense it.
Clearly, they were silently telling him to let go of Freya or face the consequences. And of course, like any good man who values his life he... didn’t let go. The girl was just so soft he didn’t want to let go. The best part, she wasn’t his student or student’s mother. So he could completely enjoy the hug without feeling immoral in any way. Seeing his defiant gaze, the girls were angered, but they didn’t make a scene. They looked at each other, and without speaking, they agreed to deal with him later on.
Of course while he and the girls knew about his impure thoughts at the moment. His face was still stoic, completely looking like he was just consoling Freya. The women even thought that he was such a good person, to not care about their infinitely different positions like that by letting Freya cry in his arms. What they didn’t know was that he was just a virgin unwilling to let any chance of hugging a cute girl go.
"Ahh!, s-sorry for that. I d-didn’t, please don’t leave me behind!"
After a while, Freya finally collected herself and realised what she was doing. She immediately jumped out of Muku’s embrace, both in fear and embarrassment. She had never done such a thing before after all. And to do it to someone who literally had the authority to decide her future or even her life and death. How could she be so foolish??.
"Don’t worry, I understand. Your emotions got the better of you. It happens, in fact, if you ever want to...Oww...Cough. Anyway, you and the others should go to rest for now. Since we have a lead. Well set off tomorrow with the first group. Which you will be part of, of course, after your contribution" Obviously, Muku didn’t mind Freya crying in his arms.
He was even about to shamelessly offer her to come to him again whenever she wanted to cry, but a pinch from Jade, who appeared from nowhere, stopped him. And so, he could only switch topics and address everyone as he could see Jade was itching to pinch him again if he said something wrong.
"Y-yes sir!" Freya replied in her soft voice and ran off her face bright red.
...
"So...is she the one?" Just as Freya and the others left. Jade, who was still beside Muku, asked such a weird question in a calm voice.
"Why do you ask?" Muku played along while pretending to be dumb.
"Oh, no reason. Just asking, you don’t have to tell me if you don’t want to" Jade replied, her voice still calm.
"You know, I’d believe you a bit more if you... Weren’t grabbing my hand so tightly like you won’t let me go if I don’t answer you?" Muku spoke while prying his hand out of Jade’s vice-like grip. After doing it he even noticed that there was a faint reddish handprint left on the spot she was grabbing. Which showed just how much strength she had used.
Whoosh!
"I’m going to scout the area, be back soon. And don’t do anything to her...Ike talking to you Jade!" Muku, who could sense that things were about to take a bad turn for him, quickly made a break for it. He flew away before anyone could say anything, only his words lingered in the air a bit before also disappearing. He felt like he had to mention something about them not hurting Freya or someone(Jade) might really try it. Who knew they could be so scary?.
Originally he would have taken at least one of them with him... But there was no way he was going to do such a thing in the current situation. What if they killed him there and disposed of the body.

"Sooo, Hope, hypothetically...Can your Whisperless Death spell kill a person without leaving any traces behind?" As they looked at Muku’s fading shadow. Jade suddenly asked a weird question.
"Yeah...I guess so...Why do you ask?" Hope replied confusedly at the beginning. But her eyes widened from realisation before she asked Jade why she asked.
"...No reason" Seeing Hope’s reaction, as well as the others. Jade immediately backed out from what she wanted to say. To think she was the only one who considered it...
She immediately felt angry at Muku. It was his fault that she even thought of it. If he hadn’t said anything, she wouldn’t have thought of it either... probably... maybe...okay, at least she wouldn’t carry it out.
...
Somewhere within the stadium, Freya felt a sudden chill like she just avoided a great danger.
