Apocalypse Regression's

Summertime

"Is that true, sir?"

Stacy asked with a hopeful look.

"Of course."

Ark replied casually. Nevertheless, Stacy's eyes were already filled with admiration. Is his love overflowing, or is it an obsession? The girl did not even understand how she felt.

"Curtain! So anyway. Compared to friends, you prefer obedient women. Like being called "Master" and that kind of sentence.

I really misjudged you, Ark!"

"Yes! This uncle is right! You should have given that weapon to this sweet and obedient little sister!

I also misjudged you, Chief Bau!"

"..."

Ark's silent. Hearing the phrase "sweet and obedient sister" made the corner of Ark's lips twitch. Who doesn't know the adult pretentious girl but often runs around here and there and likes to make trouble. It even has a weird hobby hanging around like a koala. The young man really did not know which part was called cute and obedient!

"I understand if Lisa's pouting. Although she was a naughty and disrespectful girl, she was still a short sword user.

While you? You're not even gonna use this gun so well, why are you complaining and angry like a kid, Jay."

"I want a new weapon! Especially the cool looking weapons! Doesn't it feel cool when pinned to the waist and carried everywhere?"

"..."

"Ark?"

"Sorry, forget. I'm sorry I asked."

"I—"

"The point is, I gave it to Stacy because she deserved it. Not only was Stacy loyal, she was also able to use this weapon well.

Although Abigail could too, but she was often at the headquarters. As for Lisa, forget it, there was no need to compare the sword arts of these two women with the little girl who swung the sword awkwardly.

So the decision is final. When it's over, it's Stacy's."

"Woy! Who you say is awkward! It's an artistic style ... artistic!"

Ignoring the enraged Lisa and the stunned Jay, Ark rewrapped the centipede horn. After that, he said.

"Please help sort out the various plants and put them to the usual place, we will plant them tomorrow.

I want to go take a shower and rest."

Pretending not to see the gazes of those who wanted to ask for a new weapon, Ark immediately left the place.

***

Five days just passed.

Summer has finally arrived. Unlike the previous years, the first summer in this apocalypse era would be a very unpleasant time.

"I'm glad we're replacing outdoor exercise by doing things at home. The problem ... Why are we even prohibited from bathing?

It's really hot, man! It's been two days without a shower, it feels really uncomfortable!"

Jay who was sitting on the sofa wiped the sweat with a bad expression. He sees Ark sitting on the back porch of the house along with Nathan and Nala.

Ark seemed to be assembling some twigs that had been cut and cleaned. Stringed with a kind of wide and thick leaves that dried and tied with a rope made from Devil's Vines fiber, the young man made a fan that looked quite beautiful.

"This is for you, Nathan."

"Thank you, Mister!" nathan said with a happy expression.

Nala herself also had the same fan in her hand. The two children looked cheerful.

"At least listen to me, Ark!"

Jay shouted reluctantly.

Ark was making another fan for himself, but his movements came to a halt. Nathan and Nala fanned the young man with smiles on their faces, looking very happy while doing so.

"You don't have to do it" Ark said casually.

"It's okay. Master has made us fans, so we also helped him!" said Nala in a plain tone.

"Then thank you, Nala. You too, Nathan."

"Hehehehe~"

"Don't blame me for ignoring you, Jay. For two days you have been talking about this. Of course I heard it was bored.

I told you, summer is a crisis. We have to store more water because it might not rain at all in the next few months.

We need to save water for consumption. After all, even if we don't shower, we all still wipe our bodies with a wet cloth every morning and night after the activity, right? It is considered clean.

Not only that, after the previous harvest, I no longer planted many plants that served as staple food, right?

Not just for drinking and cooking, we need enough water to water precious plants in the roof garden and back of the house.

As long as our food supply is sufficient, we don't need to waste water to grow other crops."

"Dark Caravan also stopped selling?"

"No. We keep selling, but only once every two weeks and with a limited amount of supply."

"Ughh! I don't know why I hate summer. Whereas the first summer is synonymous with going on vacation to the beach and looking at beautiful women. Speaking of lalu—'s life"

"Stop imagining those beautiful things, because the beautiful life is over."

"Even now fantasizing is forbidden?" jay said helplessly.

"not banned. It's just that comparing conditions makes you feel like life is too heavy right now and you're reluctant to keep moving forward."

Jay remained silent. But he could not deny Ark's words at all. In the end, he could only take a long breath.

"As long as you're alive, maybe I can't find a partner in this life, Ark."

"You're blaming me?"

Ark raised his eyebrows. Feeling that his best friend's mind is starting to go wild because he has not found the woman he wants.

"Of course not! It's just that, you yourself must know that they (the women in the Sword of Sufferings) must have feelings for you, right?"

"Stop talking about the love that makes life in this chaotic time even more complicated."

Ark immediately said in an indifferent tone.

"Curtain! This attitude of yours that keeps running away might cause you some trouble in the future, Archie.

Listen to this advice from your friend. Better you—"

"Tomorrow we will receive 17 new members. Of course, if they all survived.

Of the 17 members, there are 9 "WOMEN" who look beautiful and charming. Not a grandmother, middle-aged, or small child. It was a "WOMAN" who was no less than a magazine model."

"Eh?"

Jay who is in wise fashion to advise her best friend about love is suddenly dumbfounded. One, two, three .. The man was silent for a few seconds before shouting out loud.

"EEEEEHHH!!!??"

Jay jumped off the couch. He rushed straight towards the Ark. Holding both sides of his shoulders then said with an excited expression.

"Why didn't you tell me earlier, K-parat! Isn't that something you should say earlier? This will definitely affect your best friend's future!"

Jay shook Ark's body with a crazy face. After a while, he released it then paced back and forth with a serious expression.

"What should I do now? What should I wear tomorrow? Should I act friendly or cool?

What do you think, Ark? What are those women like? Are they—"

"Killer."

"I'm sorry?"

"The nine women are murderers."

"..."

Jay remained silent. His eyes blinked full of astonishment. He then looked towards his best friend with an expression of disbelief.

"No. They were not in the same organization as me before" Ark said without waiting for Jay to ask.

Hearing Ark's words, Jay looked relieved. It's just, the guy doesn't know ...

Actually his best friend had no intention of taking him when he picked them up tomorrow.
