Raising A Few Wives in a Beast Apocalypse-Chapter 138: The Talk (pt 3)

The kitchen...

Audrey, Elsa and Chloe were there cutting up some beast meat. Hope, who had been somehow talked into joining by Audrey, was also there.

The reason Muku went there was because his next target was there. Which was Chloe. While the conversations with Emily and Layla left him feeling rather drained. He had some confidence in Chloe. Out of all the girls in the group she seemed to be the most stable.

While the others had one problem or the other. He hadn't noticed anything like that from her. That was, of course, excluding Audrey, the mature lady.

"Hey, everyone", Muku greeted the group as he entered the kitchen. They all replied with smiles on their faces. Which showed how happy they were that he was up again.

"Chloe, can I talk to you for a bit outside, please?" As someone who wanted to get it over with as soon as possible. Muku didn't make any small talk as he immediately asked to speak with Chloe.

"Yes, sure" Chloe gave a positive reply as she stopped what she was doing. She then washed her hands and followed him out of the room.

The others were curious about what it was about, but they didn't follow behind to eavesdrop. Which was definitely because of Audrey's presence; otherwise, Hope would have definitely tried something. As for Elsa, she was more interested in whether he managed to fix things with Emily.

While Audrey couldn't say she wasn't curious. She was okay with not knowing. To her, if he felt that she needed to know something he would tell her.

...

Muku's room...

"Umm, why did we come all the way here?" Chloe couldn't help but ask feeling a bit nervous. Her mind thinking up some weird scenes.

"So that we aren't interrupted by someone "passing by" or something like that", Muku replied honestly. He knew Hope's personality. She was definitely capable of using such a reason. So he chose to take the talk to his room to avoid such a situation if Audrey couldn't stop her.

"Oh, okay" Chloe replied. Her weird thoughts were immediately shattered. She wasn't sure why she even had such thoughts in the first place. The dense guy would never do something like that, hell he would never even speak about anything that was related to romance...

"What am I in your eyes?" Muku asked a question that stunned Chloe out of nowhere. Just when the girl was thinking about how he would never have those kinds of thoughts too.

"Umm, what? Can you repeat that? I don't think I heard you correctly" Chloe finally managed to speak.

While she was certain of what she heard, she was hoping that Muku would change his statement. Then she wouldn't have to reply to the sudden question. Or maybe she really did hear wrongly and Muku would clear things up. Just the one question had overwhelmed her.

"No, you heard correctly. Don't worry though, you don't have to give an answer" Muku replied in a way that made her feel both panicked and relieved.

Panicked before it meant that he was on to something. Relieved because she didn't have to reply. His next words, however, made her heart skip a beat and her whole body freeze.

"You don't have to reply because I already know the answer" Muku spoke confidently.

Chloe suddenly felt cold for some reason. Her mind was plagued with one thought...

{OMG! He knows!}

She didn't know what to do next. Just like the two before her, she was considering running away. Unfortunately for her, Muku, who expected her to want to do that, was again standing closer to the door than her.

"Calm down, it's not like you did something wrong. It's just a natural occurrence. You just have to listen to what I want to tell you. If you have anything to say after that, you can say it. Understood?" Muku explained himself quickly.

He was afraid the girl would faint from holding her breath if he delayed. She had been holding her breath since the moment she gasped when he said he knew. Which, honestly, he found to be a rather cute response.

His words did the job as Chloe calmed down a bit and started breathing again. Though now her face was reddening more and more by the second.

"I just wanted to tell you that. I will not be pursuing any romantic experiences with anyone for at least the next two years. So you can at least be assured in that time that I won't be stolen away by someone or something like that. You can also use that time to evaluate your emotions for me. That way, you'll be completely sure whether what you think you're feeling is really what you're feeling..." Muku continued speaking but then Chloe interrupted him suddenly.

"I'm sure" She only said two words when she cut Muku off, but the conviction and certainty behind the two words was immense.

Even her blush had disappeared as she looked at Muku with her blue eyes seriously. She wasn't going to stand there as her feelings got questioned like that, even if it wasn't intentional or directly.

She felt that she was always aware of what she felt. So she knew that she liked Muku for real and two years wouldn't change anything.

"Umm, okay then, sorry..." Muku replied a bit stiffly. Her sudden strong stance caught him off guard. It seemed the girl didn't allow anyone to question her convictions even if it was in good faith. So, in a way,, he had found her reverse scale.

"No, it's fine" Chloe replied as she calmed down. That's when she realised that she had basically confessed to him. Her blush that had suddenly disappeared before immediately came back with a vengeance.

She closed her eyes and hid her face behind her hands as she stood there in embarrassment. When did she become so bold? Will he think she's weird for admitting that she liked her teacher so openly?

"Like I said before. No need to be embarrassed or anything. It's a normal occurrence. Anyway, I've already talked to Emily and Layla. If you don't have any questions, I'll go and talk to Jade next" Muku, who was getting good at what he was doing, spoke in a way that calmed her down.

Knowing that she wasn't the first or the only one he talked to made her feel a lot better. Though she felt slightly bitter that she wasn't the first. Internally, she promised herself that she would be the ultimate first thought. As she thought that, the blush on her face increased.

At that point, Muku was starting to worry that she might faint. She was blushing so much, she felt the room temperature increase a little.

"I don't have anything to say for now. You can go. I'll just look for you when I can think properly" Unlike the two before, Chloe didn't start saying weird things at the end.

Which Muku appreciated a lot. Just like he thought, Chloe was a lot more stable than the others. Her reaction was the reaction the others, as inexperienced young maidens, should have had. Unfortunately, the two before her were weirdos.

"Okay. You can look for me at any time," Muku replied, then left the room. Chloe remained there and even sat on the bed as she tried to gather herself after the experience.

....

The mansion's backyard...

Jade was there meditating under the only tree inside the mansion walls. For some reason, she found it a lot easier to meditate when she was outside. Which was likely related to her class.

Her meditation wasn't to improve her mana efficiency. She didn't even have mana anymore after all. She meditated to improve her Beast Aura control. While it wouldn't stop her from advancing after killing enough beasts. She just liked improving it as it made using it smoother in battle.

As a violent energy, it needed one to have an exceptional control level. Otherwise, they might lose control. It wasn't a problem for the current her, but she had a feeling that as she got stronger, its violent nature would also increase. So she wanted to be a step ahead.

"Hey... I can come back later if you're busy," Muku, who had arrived when Jade was about to get into another round of meditation,n, spoke. Unlike the others, she couldn't meditate for too long before her mind started wandering. So she took breaks. Which was already known in the group. Fortunately, she was getting better.

"No, it's fine. We can talk now. It's finally my turn to get the talk. I don't want to delay that. I can't wait anymore" Jade spoke with a little smile on her face.

Her words rang like thunder in Muku's mind. That's how shocked he was. He wasn't expecting that at all.

"What?!" He subconsciously asked.

"Yup, I heard everything" Jade replied, her smile turning smug. She was enjoying his shocked expression a lot...
