Raising A Few Wives in a Beast Apocalypse-Chapter 135: Time to face it

"Ladies, would welcome your new teammate?" Muku asked the girls who hadn't said anything yet.

"Welcome to the team Ms Freya. Let me reintroduce myself. I'm Hope. Big Brother's beloved little sister. I hope we get along" Hope, who had the least dislike for Freya, introduced herself first. Which was because she didn't see her as a threat to her position. She was even smiling as she did so.

In fact, she never disliked Freya from the start. She was just supporting her friends and pretended to dislike her. But now that Freya was part of the team. There was no reason to pretend. And she didn't want to isolate her, which would be cruel.

The others, seeing her, couldn't help but roll their eyes. It always surprised them how her personality changed so much depending on Muku's state. Now that Muku was okay, she was back to being the kind girl they all knew. They were certain that if Muku was still injured or unconscious, she wouldn't even bother to acknowledge Freya's existence.

"Welcome to the team, Ms Freya; I'm Chloe" Chloe, who could adapt easily, was the next to welcome Freya.

"Jade, sup" Jade didn't say much. Which was to be expected. But it was enough.

Layla was even worse. She just nodded at Freya without saying anything.

Emily just looked on silently before turning to leave. Her heart wouldn't let her welcome more competition. The others she could handle since they somewhat had the same origin and stood on the same ground. Even Audrey, she could accept.

But Freya made her feel extremely threatened. Nothing was stopping Freya and Muku from doing certain things if they wanted to. While in Muku's eyes, she and the other girls were still too young. And Audrey was Layla's mother so it was complicated. All this made her unwilling to accept Freya who seemingly had a clear path to Muku's heart.

After Emily left. Elsa nodded in Freya's direction before quickly running after her sister. While she thought that Emily was being rude. She would still always stand by her sister no matter what. And she could somewhat understand why Emily was unwilling.

Muku just looked on with a wry expression on his face. He had expected something like that to happen. He was even surprised that it was only Emily who did it. But then again it was also understandable. Emily might be nice in other things, but when it came to him. He had noticed some certain tendencies of wanting to monopolise him.

Which again was understandable since no one would be willing to share the one they love in normal circumstances. The only thing holding her back was the fact that she and Muku weren't in a romantic relationship. Otherwise, she might not have just walked away from the situation.

"Umm, Ms Freya, aren't you going to reply to what they said?" Muku ignored Emily's situation for the moment as he spoke to Freya. Trying his best to disburse the awkward atmosphere Emily has created. However, it was already kinda awkward since he invited Freya to join the team.

"R... right, I'm Freya like you all know. Thank you for welcoming me. You can just call me Freya, there's no need to say Ms" Freya awkwardly did as Muku asked.

She could sense the tense atmosphere but chose to ignore it. It was her moment of happiness and she didn't want to ruin it by thinking of negative things. So what if she wasn't well-liked? She'd definitely do her best to make sure they like her in the shortest amount of time.

Her chance of a better future had come and she was willing to fight for it. Fighting spirit burned in her eyes as she thought such things.

Without knowing it. Her easy-to-read face improved the opinion the girls had of her. They respected any girl who was willing to fight for what she wanted. Especially someone who was originally timid like Freya.

"Good" Jade couldn't help but give a little praise before walking away with a little smile on her face.

The rest followed after her. Leaving only Muku, Hope and Freya in the room. There was no way Hope was going to be okay with leaving his side so soon after he woke up.

"Oh right, there's one more member of the team. You know her already but I'll tell you about her anyway. I'm talking about the lady with grey hair from before. Her name is Audrey. And she's like the team's second in command. So if she tells you to do something. Just do it. But don't worry, she's a nice lady. So she won't make you do something unreasonable" Muku introduced Audrey since she was absent.

"Okay, I'll do my best to live up to your expectations" Freya replied. Showing her complete willingness to incorporate herself into the team.

"Good, Hope here will show you around the mansion. I have to go rest for now. We will talk later about your class. And if there's anything at the stadium you want to take with you. I advise you to get it today since we will be leaving tomorrow morning" Muku suddenly surrendered his job to Hope, who was surprised by how sudden it was.

She wanted to refuse, but unfortunately for her, she couldn't deny her brother's words. So she dejectedly started showing Freya around the mansion.

Muku had gone back to his room to rest. He still had not completely recovered from the ordeal so he still needed to rest. What Hope didn't know was that he had set her up on purpose.

He knew that the girl wouldn't leave him alone for the next few days. And he couldn't tell her to leave him alone since he couldn't bear to see her sad. But he didn't want her to be there as he tried to rest, looking at him unblinkingly. So he came up with the plan to get her to lead Freya around.

And he had also briefly gone to the kitchen. Where he told Audrey to delay the girl after she was done with showing Freya around. With all that, even if she came to his room after, he should have long fallen asleep. Thereby avoiding the situation where he can't sleep because she's intensely looking at him. Almost like he'd disappear if she looked away.

While it was sweet that she cared about him so much. It was a rather big distraction when one was trying to sleep.

And so, Muku went to sleep peacefully. Surprisingly, an hour later, when he woke up, she was still not there. He couldn't help but wonder how Audrey had delayed her. But that had to be put on hold for the time being.

He first had to deal with Emily. Which made him feel quite nervous. After all, he knew exactly what she was worried about. But if he admitted to knowing it and said that he didn't plan on doing it. Even if it got rid of her worries. It would create new problems for him.

She would immediately realise that he had been playing dumb all this time. Then she will likely tell the others as well. Which would increase the problems even more. So he was at a loss for what to do.

Just then he vaguely remembered someone telling him that if he kept on delaying. He would lose them all eventually. He couldn't remember who, but the words still shook his heart.

And so, he finally made his final decision. It was time he faced it. While he couldn't completely go against his beliefs. He would at least not ignore it like he had been doing. That was not fair to the girls, and himself since he couldn't completely let down his guard around them lest he slipped up.

...

Emily and Elsa's room...

"I'm such an idiot. Why did I let my emotions take control of me like that? How am I supposed to face him now?! How can I get myself out of this?" Emily spoke to herself like a crazy person while tightly hugging her pillow and sitting on her bed.

She immediately regretted her actions after walking out. But since she had already done so, she couldn't turn back. And now she was beating herself up because of it.

Elsa just looked on. It was a familiar sight to her. From even before the apocalypse in fact. And she had long learned to just sit there quietly when it happens as Emily wouldn't listen to anything anymore said in such a state. So the best she could do was to be present.

Knock! Knock!

Suddenly a knock came from the door. Normally the person inside would then ask who was outside. But they were Evolvers. Evolvers could sense each other's energy signatures if they weren't hidden. Muku wasn't hiding his signature. So even the weak Elsa knew who it was, let alone Emily.

And so, the room went quiet. Elsa was leaving the decision on what would happen next to Emily. While Emily's mind had completely shut down.

"Hey Emily, it's me. Can I come in? I'd like to talk about something. It won't take too much of your time, I promise," Muku called out after almost a minute of silence. But even after that, Emily remained quiet and stayed frozen on the bed.

"Sigh" Elsa sighed from inside the room. She then got up. Went to open the door for Muku.

"I hope what you want to talk about is something positive". She then spoke before Muku said anything.

After that, she passed him by, heading downstairs. Not even waiting for a response. She was giving the two some privacy. As well as mildly warning Muku to not hurt her sister.

The little girl was quite mature when she wanted to be.
