Raising A Few Wives in a Beast Apocalypse-Chapter 103: Dangerously delicious
[Killed MR2 Beast. Kill Points now at 0.75%]
Layla immediately got the prompt after the boar’s death. The 1% seemed to have been divided into two equal parts.
[Killed MR2 Beast. Kill Points now at 0.5%]
Audrey got her first rank two kill points from the boar. To think she hadn’t killed a Rank Two beast yet despite having ranked up a long time ago. Seeing the meagre KP even when she already knew about it, was really disheartening as well. Such a tough creature to only give so little. It immediately hit her, how hard getting to the peak of Rank Two would be. They might even reach 100% mana control needed for domain creation before reaching the peak.
"No, this won’t do; we’ll have to work harder after little Elsa reaches rank one", Audrey spoke to herself while walking to the beast’s corpse. She was interested to see if it had a Beast Core. The other two didn’t, so it was their only hope. The others came closer as well. Except for Layla who couldn’t even move after using all her remaining mana in her last attack.
.....
"Yey!, it has a core!" Jade exclaimed happily while digging her hand into the boar’s chest, which had softened after its death. The others felt that it was really convenient to have her around. Otherwise, they’d have to dig into every beast they killed’s chest while not knowing whether there was anything there or not.
"It’s an elementless core? Well, it’s expected, I guess", Audrey spoke after Jade handed it to her. Although it radiated a stronger aura than rank one cores, it was still the same size. Which made them suspect that all cores are the same size despite their different energy levels.
"Although it can’t help with improving anyone’s mana control or something like that. At least it can be used to recover our mana" Audrey spoke. She then walked over to Layla so she could use it to recover her mana. In fact, elementless mana cores were the best for mana recovery since some energy won’t be wasted while separating the energy from the elemental particles.
Layla didn’t refuse, she immediately started drawing in the mana from the core. In ten minutes, she was already fully recovered, which would have taken at least the whole day if she had done it naturally. After she was done, half of the energy still remained, which showed just how different an LR2 evolver was from an MR2 beast in terms of energy.
She then gave it to Audrey who had also expended at least half of her energy in the battle to use. But Audrey refused to use it, offering it to Muku instead, saying that he needed it more. Who didn’t refuse, knowing Audrey’s personality and how she wouldn’t let him go until he accepted? But he only agreed on the condition that they share it half to half, which Audrey unwillingly agreed to after seeing his unwillingness to compromise further gaze.
And so, with their pork...cough, boar bodies in toll. They excitedly returned to the mansion looking forward to that day’s dinner. Luckily, they’d be finishing the rank one meat they had that afternoon, so they wouldn’t have to wait long to start on the R2 meat, which they’d be eating for the first time.
As Muku drove?...the mansion, the others were more focused on preparing the boar meat than keeping watch. They were laughing so loudly that Muku ended up stopping the mansion sooner than expected and went to join them. Why must he work while they are having fun?
And so, the journey was paused for the rest of the day. As for where they got the confidence to stop in the middle of nowhere? Only they know.
After a while, the meat was cut into smaller pieces and put on ice. While they took some of it and had a barbecue.
....
"Wow, this smells divine; I’m sure Author-san is burning with jealousy, wishing he was here with us. But too bad for him, he can only bury his jealousy in the biscuits he’s eating while writing this chapter. Anyway, everyone, please. Help yourselves" Muku did a little speech before the meal. They were sitting in the dining room with a table full of meat in front of them.
"About time!" Jade, who was barely holding herself back from drooling, spoke while grabbing a big chunk of meat and biting down. Not even caring about Author-san’s feelings for a second.
"OMG!" This is the best meat I have ever tasted!" Jade exclaimed as she stuffed herself with a gleeful expression on her face. She was so focused on eating she didn’t hear the numerous prompts that were ringing in her head. Well, she heard them...she just didn’t care about anything else other than stuffing her face in the moment.
Seeing her happy expression as she ate. Also worrying that she might finish all the meat before they got any, the others immediately dug in, and as soon as they swallowed the first bite, they all felt an energy torrent, unlike anything they’d ever felt before exploding in their stomachs. It wasn’t anything violent, it actually felt so could someone almost moaned. And soon they were all also eating just as ravenously as Jade. They didn’t know that the meat of a MR2 boar would taste so good. Otherwise, they would have set out on a hunt for them a lot sooner.
Everyone was having a good time except for little Elsa. The girl had only taken one bite and she was already full. In fact, she felt bloated, not because of the meat, but because of the energy it carried. Her whole body had turned slightly red like she had a fever.
[Peak Attribute points for Unranked Human Reached. High levels of excess energy detected in the body. Excess energy to be discharged from the body in 3...2...1...0]
Boom!
"Ahh!!"
As the prompt rang in Elsa’s mind, her body was frozen; she couldn’t even speak. So she couldn’t warn Emily who was wolfing down some food beside her. This led to Emily’s startled cry when she was hit by the harmless energy wave ejected from Elsa’s body through her skin.
"What’s this!?" Hope exclaimed as she heard a prompt after Elsa’s incident snapped her out of her feasting revelry. It was the same for everyone. Since the beginning, they had been getting prompts about their strength attributes increasing as they ate the meat. But for some reason, not even a single one bothered with it, it’s like the meat was so good they tuned out everything else. The girls couldn’t help but be embarrassed... except for Jade, of course; she was never one for ladylike behaviour in the first place, after all.
"What was that Elsa?" Emily ignored the prompts for now and focused on Elsa first.
"Nothing, Hmph!" Elsa replied annoyedly before getting up and walking off. She was annoyed that Emily was so into eating that she didn’t notice that anything was wrong with her. Even if she had also been like that if she had eaten more than one bite, she still felt that Emily should have done better. And so, she angrily stormed off, going to the kitchen to wash her hands before going upstairs. Emily ran after her... though not before grabbing one last bite. Which Elsa happened to see, making her even more pissed off.
"Anyone else got an increase of 100 points to their Strength attribute?" Hope asked after Emily and Elsa left.
"I got 90," Layla said softly while wiping her greasy mouth with a cloth. Her cheeks a bit red, she was really embarrassed by her behaviour. The only reason she still hadn’t run away in shame was because everyone had also done the same, so she could barely handle it.
"I got 70" Chloe said, also in a soft and embarrassed voice.
"I got 40", Audrey spoke; she was arguably the most embarrassed, thinking that she had behaved too shamelessly in front of the kids.
"40 points!" Jade spoke, still eyeing the meat.
"45...so like our theory from before, the point increase depends on how strong you were initially. Though it’s quite surprising that everyone got so many this time," Muku spoke; they weren’t particularly shocked about the attributes points since they already knew; what shocked them was the amount. One has to know that Emily only got 1 point the first time she ate beast meat, and it was from a Half-step R2.
"Yeah, that boar must have been quite outstanding in the strength department" Audrey replied, also impressed by it.
"Ha!, I’m stronger than you!" Jade suddenly exclaimed happily after realising that Muku got a hunger increase in the strength attribute than her, meaning her strength was slightly higher than his.
"Well, duh! I’m both a physical type and a magic type, with my magic being stronger than my physic. So wouldn’t it have been embarrassing for you if I was actually stronger than you physically?" Muku replied while rolling his eyes.
"Hmph! Whatever, let me have my meat in peace" Seeing that she might not win the battle, Jade immediately opted out.
"Before you do that, I think you should look at your stomach,", Muku said while getting up and walking away.
"Hmh? Ahh!" Jade, who was about to bite into a chunk of meat, looked down at her stomach confusedly and immediately screamed. Her ever-flat stomach was now bulging out significantly, clearly full of food. Interestingly, it was only at that moment she realised she was full. She immediately threw the meat back on the plate with some fear in her eyes.
"Ahh!" ×4 Four cries of surprise sounded out soon after Jade. The others who had also looked at Jade’s stomach after Muku mentioned it, screamed after seeing that theirs were the same.
"This meat is dangerously delicious" Audrey spoke with some fear in her eyes. She was wondering when they would have stopped if Elsa’s little incident hadn’t snapped them out of it.
At the same time, she couldn’t help but wonder if Muku was also like them and so ran away before the others could see.
....
Upstairs in Emily and Elsa’s room...
"I’m sorry, Elsa, I’ll never do it again, okay? I’ll give up eating for the rest of today even though I want to if you forgive me" Emily’s soft voice sounded out as she tried to coax her little sister.

"Look at your stomach" Elsa spoke without even looking at Emily as she continued laying on the bed playing a game on her phone.
"Hhm? Ahh!"
Emily’s cry rang out in the room. The others who heard it didn’t run over as they all knew what it was about.
