Raising A Few Wives in a Beast Apocalypse-Chapter 134: New recruit!
"I suspected this. It doesn’t matter. Let’s get it over with and move on with our lives. Would someone go call a few of them over? We can address them for the last time here as well as give them some meat since I’m certain you all didn’t give them any" Muku spoke. Not minding how the girls had basically abandoned the stadium women.
"I’ll go" Chloe stepped up. Not because she wanted to but because she had noticed that Audrey was about to volunteer. And there was no way she would let her go while she was around.
Layla likely would have taken Audrey’s place in the end. But everyone knew that Layla’s communication with strangers was nonexistent. Which was why Chloe stepped up.
She then promptly left for the stadium. And soon returned with Freya and a few other women from the base. While she wanted to leave Freya behind for obvious reasons, she refused to let her pettiness get in the way of business.
"Hello, sir. It’s nice to see you in good health" Freya was unable to control herself when she saw that Muku was okay. She immediately blurted out what she thought. She had been extremely worried every day since the day she saw him last. It even affected her sleep.
So now, finally seeing him. Looking okay on top of that. She just couldn’t control herself. She immediately regretted her words as she felt the air around her get heavier. She again found herself the target of multiple unfriendly gazes.
It felt so unbearable that she stumbled backwards. She then stumbled on her own foot and fell to the ground. Like any normal person when they fall. She reached out with her hands to touch the group and soften the impact.
[Functional House Detected!]
[Do you wish to bind?]
[Caution: Once bound. Can only be unbound by the destruction of the house]
As soon as her hands made contact with the mansion floor. She got several unfamiliar prompts. But she immediately knew that they were linked to her class. Which left her dazed as she didn’t know what to do next.
"Hmm?... Well, that’s certainly an interesting development," Muku spoke with a little smile. He and the other Rank Twos had just sensed something weird.
The moment Freya’s hands touched the mansion floor. They sensed her mana travel through every last part of it before returning to her body. Which was something even they couldn’t do.
While they could sense almost anything in the mansion. It was because of their heightened senses. While Freya basically merged her mana with the mansion. Which was something that shouldn’t have been possible for someone as weak as her since even they couldn’t do it. But it all made sense as soon as they remembered her unique class.
Interestingly, he could vaguely sense that the mansion had gotten a bit stronger after her mana passed through its walls. A crazy idea immediately formed in his mind.

"So this is what I missed last time, huh? Our mansion is still a house after all. Hey Ms Freya, before we move on to other things. Mind having a little chat with me?" Muku spoke aloud his thoughts and then addressed Freya at the end while helping her up.
The girls were giving him a look that said "Don’t you dare!" But of course, being himself. He ignored them. He would do anything that would improve their safety, even if they were initially against it.
In this case, if Freya really developed like he thought she would with their help. Then there was no way they would keep on disliking her. Especially when there was really no reason to dislike her... At least not yet there wasn’t.
"Sure" Freya, who was still a bit dazed, agreed to sit down and talk to Muku.
"Great. Audrey, why don’t you go show the other ladies what they need to take?" Muku delegated the task of dealing with the stadium women so that he could speak to Freya without exposing everything about her to them.
After all, who knew whether they could be trusted or not. As for his girls, he trusted them. And if they wanted to do something to her. Whether they knew something private or not, it didn’t matter. The strength difference was just that great.
Another reason was he wanted the two sides to quickly get used to each other. His crazy plan wouldn’t work if they clashed constantly. So, he was going to try and use the situation as the foundation for the future.
"Sure" Audrey agreed to carry out the task. And so, she directed the women to the kitchen where the meat they were supposed to take was.
"No, we can speak without worry. If you don’t mind Ms Freya, can you tell me what just happened with your Class just now? In as much detail as possible?" Muku immediately got to the point.
"Y-yeah, sure", Freya responded, a bit surprised by how he already knew that something had happened that was linked to her Class.
After all, there were no obvious outward occurrences that had suggested such a thing. But remembering his strength that seemed godlike to her, she accepted it. To her, it made sense that he could tell such things. In her mind, he was an almost unequalled presence.
"So it happened like this..." After Muku nodded for her to proceed.
She immediately recounted what had happened. Not leaving anything out. She even cutely tried to imitate the way the IA spoke in her head. Which made Muku and the girls realise that they might have come across one of those airheads they had heard so much about.
And honestly, they all found her cute at that moment. Some girls even got the urge to go and pat her head. Which would have been weird since she was older than them. She looked to be around 18 or 19 years old.
"Oh, is that so. How fascinating. Anyway, I have a proposition for you if you don’t mind hearing it" Muku who had somewhat guessed it, wasn’t too surprised.
All that surprised him was that she had to destroy her previous bonded house to choose another one. But other than that, it was all within his expectations. So he quickly moved on to the next step of his plan.
Hearing him actually say it. The girls narrowed their eyes but they didn’t say anything. While they could oppose him. They chose not to. They felt that whoever opposed him at that time would be lowering their chance of ending up with him while increasing that of the others. After all, they heard read in a magazine that they came across a while back that men like women who are understanding.
Whether it was true or not. They didn’t care. It seemed reasonable enough. And no one was willing to test out its truthfulness.
"Yes, sure, go ahead, please" Freya replied with some confusion.
Having no idea what he might want to propose to a little character like herself. Hell if he wanted to, he could force her to do whatever he wanted. And she wouldn’t even be able to resist. Would she want to resist though?
Okay, she was going off track. So she quickly got out of her mind and completely paid attention to Muku. Waiting to hear what he had to say.
"Umm, what do you think about joining my crew?" Muku again didn’t beat around the bush.
Hearing his statement, Freya’s heart skipped a beat. She almost had a heart attack. And she had trouble believing what she had just heard. Did he really just say what she heard him say. Was she dreaming? It must be a dream, right?
"It’s okay if you don’t want to. But just give me a clear answer so that I cannot for certain that I was rejected," Muku spoke up with a slightly downcast expression. He had assumed her dazed silence for rejection.
Hearing his words the girls all facepalmed. The guy really didn’t know how to read a girl, did he? Everything about Freya’s actions was suggesting that she wanted to join. But the dense fool was seeing the opposite.
They all soon calmed down. They realised that he was also dense with them, even after all the signs they tossed around daily. So it was to be expected that he wouldn’t understand Freya’s signs either.
At least that’s what they thought...
"What? No... NO! I didn’t refuse. I was just surprised that’s all. I didn’t think you’d want a weak person like me in your team. I even thought that I misheard. I want to, I really do! If you are willing to take me. I’m willing to join" Freya immediately explained herself in panic. Thinking that a once-in-a-lifetime chance was about to pass her by.
"Oh. Is that so? Great then! Welcome to the team" Muku put on a look of understanding as he replied. Internally though, he was smiling triumphantly.
He was never as dense as the girls thought of course. Just that he acted that way. While the world’s social system had collapsed. He wanted to at least preserve his own sense of morality. So until the girls were 18, he’d continue acting.
As for Freya. He acted dumb to get her to take the initiative sometimes. If she was going to be their teammate. Then she couldn’t be so passive all the time.
In their current world, only those who took the initiative could make it far...
