Raising A Few Wives in a Beast Apocalypse-Chapter 52: Not you too!

"Are really up for this?". Jade asked Muku who was working beside her as they made their way up the stairs.

"Yeah, why do you ask?". Muku replied a bit confused.

"Well, you used such a big attack and it should have blown through most of your mana right?. I mean you were even breathing hard after it. I can do this alone after". Jade said, she was really worried that he was overworking himself.

"Aww, are you perhaps worried about little old me?...you couldn’t possibly hold forbidden feelings for your teacher could..Ow! Jade you brat!". Muku was teasing Jade and before he could finish he got a kick on the leg.

"Hmph!, have it your way then. I won’t care even if you work yourself to death". Jade said and looked away from him, now focusing on the task ahead but the faint blush on her cheeks didn’t escape Muku’s eyes.

"Don’t worry about me, I wouldn’t be here if I couldn’t afford to be, I still have around a third of mana surprisingly. Probably because I realised more of my potential, I’m at 50% now.". Muku said trying to ease Jade’s worries.

"I said I don’t ca... what!!, we still haven’t realised any at all and you’re already at 50%! So unfair!, can we switch classes please!?". Jade shouted while shaking him by the shoulders, completely forgetting that she was supposed to be angry with him and also about their scouting mission.

"Let me go already, and quiet down, did you already what we’re doing?, and I thought you didn’t care...and I’m freaking shirtless, show some decency, what will the others think if they saw us like this?". Muku said while taking Jade’s soft hands off his shoulders, luckily her claws weren’t out of she might have even scratched him.

"Oh, let me go!. And it’s not my fault if you’re a pervert lusting over his students. Maybe the reason you’re here to push me down away from the others....no, you wouldn’t dare!". At first Jade spoke trying to spite Muku but the more she spoke, the more she felt it made sense. So she quickly jumped away from Muku and was now holding her hands in front of her modest chest giving him a wary look.

"What the hell is wrong with that head of yours!?, Do you think if I wanted to do anything to you I would have waited for the apocalypse?...sorry to disappoint you but I don’t have a thing for kids". Muku said with a deadpan expression, this kid’s imagination is so messed up!, who scares themselves with their own thoughts anyway?.

"Really?". Jade said, still visibly was still wary.

"Of course really!, you know what, if you don’t want to come just go back already!" Muku finally snapped, the brat really was testing his patience.

"Hehehe, although you saying you aren’t attracted to us is definitely a lie, I at least know you won’t force yourself on us. And sir, you really need to find a shirt soon". Jade finally broke her acting. She just wanted to get back at him for teasing her.

"You!...you know what, whatever, we have things to do". Muku was again pissed off by her saying that she didn’t believe him when he said he wasn’t attracted to them. Sure, he was, but that doesn’t mean he wants it to be known, especially by this brat.

"Not even gonna deny it this time huh?". Jade said, unable to hold herself back.

"Say anything else and I’ll spank you right here". Muku said without looking at her. Hearing his words she couldn’t help but remember the last time and quickly shut up.

With Jade finally behaving, they finally got things properly moving. They searched the last floor, room by room and found no one. Which wasn’t too hard to believe considering that no one would really want to stay here for long. There was no food and no shops close by either. So even somebody from here survived, they would definitely go somewhere else.

"So should we move up a floor? These rooms are a lot more luxurious after all" Jade asked Muku looking at one of the rooms with sparkling eyes.

"If you want to, no one will stop you". Muku said, clearly not wanting to go through the trouble.

"Sir, I think I know why you’re single and gave been single for all your life as well" Jade said looking at Muku with a serious expression.

"Hey!, who said I haven’t dated anyone before!?". Muku bellowed, she had touched a sore spot of his.

"It’s painfully obvious actually" Jade said, now even wearing a sympathetic look.

"You brat!, like you have any experience" Muku said smugly.

"Well I’m still just a highschool student after all, I have to focus on school....Sir, are you perhaps encouraging me to get into a relationship at my tender age?". Jade spoke with a pure look that turned exaggeratedly suprised at the end, clearly making fun of Muku.

"Whatever, I’m not talking to you anymore, I’m going back. An adult like me doesn’t argue with kids.". Muku said and unhesitatingly turned around and walked away. Internally he was thinking....

{Wtf!, when did this kid become so good at arguing, she basically had me dancing in her palm! She stripped me of all my face as a teacher and man!. I’ll have to think twice before arguing with her next time. It seems she has been going easy on me all this time. I guess it was true when they said a man can never win against a woman in a battle of words}.any thoughts ran through Muku’s mind but his face was as serious as ever.

"Hehehe, sir wait for me!". Jade laughed as she ran after him, clearly enjoying the situation.

And Muku was right, Jade really had been just playing around with him before. Women had a weird habit of pretending to be below the man they like in everything when in fact in some cases they are a lot better. But after seeing his risqué interactions with Chloe earlier in the day, she couldn’t help but show him a bit of her "true power".

...

"Oh, so there’s no one here after all?". Audrey asked for confirmation.

"Yeah". Jade replied.

"Good, now we can all take our baths in peace. I’m really glad the electricity still hasn’t gone even after so long, we really have to thank author-san for that". Hope said with a smile as she got up and went to take a bath. The others nodded in agreement and went to their own room bathrooms. Though they felt that there was something wrong with her statement, they just couldn’t tell what it was.

They were sharing one room for two people. Layla and Audrey, Jade and Emily, Hope and Chloe and Muku was unsurprisingly chilling alone envious of the pairs... though even if there was another dude in the group, he would have still chose a room to himself. So while Muku and half the girls went to bathe, half waited for the others to finish. Audrey offered Layla to bathe with her, but Layla gave her a flat no.

Soon everyone was done bathing and were gathered inHope and Chloe’s room again. Chloe had refused to get out of bed and blanket for obvious reasons after finishing bathing.

"Umm....do we even want to know?". Layla asked as she and the girls looked at Muku oddly.

"What?...oh, this?, do you like it? I can make you your own if you want!’. Muku said excitedly.

Right now, he was no longer shirtless but had something on. It was a cut off part of a blanket with a hole in the middle that his head went through. Although it didn’t cover his sides, since it covered the front and back, Muku felt it was good enough, he was quite proud of it actually.

"No thank you, I just thought it was rather unique." Layla quickly refused, even if Muku could wear the thing, it would be totally different than if a girl like her wore it, especially if some wind blew by while they were in battle.

"Oh okay, your loss then". Muku said with a shrug.

"Well I think it looks cool, big brother". Hope supported her big brother.

"Good girl Hope, you know how to appreciate real fashion!". Muku said while patting her head as she giggled.

"They really got into their roles huh?". Jade said as she looked at the two acting like they were really brother and sister. The others nodded, though they all found it quite heartwarming.

"Now, for our plan for tomorrow...any ideas?". Muku asked for the opinion of the others. They could no longer half hazardly do whatever they wanted anymore. Not after facing the rat king and being certain that it was definitely not the only beast of its level in the city. They now had to properly come up with plans.

"Well, I say since we’re already close enough to Jade’s house, we might as well go there. We just have to be more cautious than before when engaging in fights, they shouldnt be too loud or too long if possible. And she did say there’s a mall closed to it after all....some of us really need some clothes." Layla offered her input while looking at Muku and Chloe. Muku didn’t even flinch as if everything was fine but Chloe couldn’t help but look away a bit in embarrassment.

The others didn’t even bother to offer another suggestions. Then they realised that they couldn’t really change much about the way they planned, the best they can do was be more cautious.

"Well that settles that then, anyone with anything else to say?". Muku also agreed to the plan and asked for the input of the others.

"Umm. So I realised 30% of my potential earlier today". Chloe said in a low voice. Everyone then looked at her with a jerk, suprise in their eyes.

"Not you too!". Jade cried out a few seconds later.
