Apocalypse Regression's

Secret Work

Upon returning to headquarters, Ark was greeted by his comrades as usual. It was just that, right now the way they looked at him was a little different. It seemed, other than because of her more conspicuous appearance, there was another reason why they kept looking at her with strange expressions.

“Actually what's up with people? They look weird.”

Entering the house, Ark muttered with a flat expression on his face. But his movements stopped when he saw Lisa sitting on the sofa drinking fruit juice. This type of drink is made from several berries that are ground, squeezed, filtered, then added with water. The girl looked at him with an innocent expression. After finishing drinking and putting the glass on the table, he said.

“Because in addition to the change in appearance, your nature also changes a lot, Brother. Ye know? Usually you are the type who likes to lock yourself in the house and arrange everything from there, absolutely no intention of going out if not necessary.

Although now? You come out almost every day to hunt! Totally different from what it used to be.”

“…”

Hearing that, Ark blinked. He did not expect that people would also notice some such trivial things. It seems they are becoming more observant than before.

Ark himself did not want to explain what happened to him. Other than to prevent revealing his own weakness, he did not want to see people worried. Even when Jay asked what abilities the Ant King had, he simply said that it was a secret. Not to be exhibited and not to be taken out if not really needed.

“I just went around to make sure something.” Ark said flat.

“You're too paranoid, Brother. The ants had clearly been exterminated. Are you still carried away by their shadows?”

“…”

Ark was silent when he heard Lisa's words. He did not argue at all, but also disagreed. The young man asked back.

“Omong-by the way, why did you come? Is there a problem?”

“Can't I come for juice? Some of this time, the weather is getting hotter and the temperature is rising.”

“Stop pretending. Also, stop coming here just to eat and drink. You have received weekly rations!”

“Who told you to keep all the premium materials here, Brother? Moreover, the old man was too stingy. He still keeps his habit of frugality until now. I can't even take an extra piece of jerky.”

Ark took a deep breath, trying not to get angry at the girl who thought of his barn as a playground and took things.

Seeing Ark seemingly refraining from getting angry, Lisa hurriedly said.

“We were invited to come to Silver Cross headquarters two days later. They seem to want to discuss something important.”

“Where is the letter?”

“Eh? It ...”

“I told you, if you get a letter from Julian or Joseph, give it to me first. Don't open it!”

“Since when did Mr. Joseph find a bird to conquer, right?”

“It's just a parable.”

Ark approached and lightly tapped Lisa on the head. He then took the letter in the short girl's pocket. Indeed, unlike Ark and Julian who had flying pets to send letters, Black Panther was the most difficult to conduct long-distance communication. In fact, Joseph kept asking Ark and Julian to find him a flying pet.

After reading the letter from Julian, Ark nodded lightly. The young man then glanced at Lisa and asked.

“Do you also want to join?”

***

Two days just passed.

Ark arrives at the Silver Cross headquarters along with Lisa, Kurona, Shirona, and 30 second-rate knights. Other than Finn who was riding the Ark, the rest pulled a carriage where there were ten people inside. At the location, they were immediately greeted by people in a friendly manner. Even after they got off the train and walked towards the building, many people swarmed over them while saying many things.

It feels really like an artist swarmed by fans in normal times.

“Death to me, Hades!”

Ark glanced at it casually. Just as she was about to make a move, Lisa first advanced forward and grabbed the woman's wrist.

“Let go of me!” yelled the woman.

Lisa ignored the woman's scream. He turned to Ark while asking.

“Should I do this woman? Hit until fainted?”

Ark's lip twitching. Looking towards the woman who was constantly struggling to break away from Lisa but could not because it was like being clamped down by an iron claw, the young man thought for a moment. After being convinced that he did not recognize the woman, he said.

“Bring it in, we'll ask the reason why he attacked later.”

“Understanding.” Lisa nodded lightly.

Ark and his colleagues then went to the building where Julian and Joseph were waiting.

Until there, Julian was the first to appear. He immediately asked if the news of the attack he had just heard was genuine. Looking towards the woman who was being dragged away by Lisa, the man was completely enraged.

“No need to be angry. Even if he tried his hardest, he wouldn't be able to kill me.”

Looking towards the people who were swarming around the woman with annoyed expressions, Ark said casually. He then continued.

“Tell me. What's the reason you tried to kill me? I don't even know you.”

Hearing Ark's flat speech, the previously calm woman became more emotional. He looked towards the Ark with red eyes.

“This is all your fault! If you don't tell them to go to the battlefield, those people won't die!”

“If they die, then they are less fortunate. But their deaths were not in vain. Seeing you like that, I know that that's not the main reason why you tried to attack me, right?”

The woman was stunned. Looking at the ruby-like red eyes behind the mask, the woman involuntarily shivered. Lowering his head, he said in a tone of fear and regret.

“Because quite a lot of dead, we can't get food rations.”

At the moment when some people were stunned and knew what the woman meant, Lisa tilted her head with an innocent expression behind her mask.

“What's the connection? Shouldn't that way you can get more rations because no one is competing for jobs?”

“Uhuk! Uhuk! You better go get some rest first, Lisa. Follow Kurona and Shirona go to-“

“Don't kick me out, brother! I want to know! Isn't that weird? I mean, if there's less people and there's more food, can't they get more? Am I wrong?”

Hearing Lisa's back-to-back questions, Ark became a little awkward. Feeling that he had to explain or that the girl would continue shouting and end up with a joke, the young man finally opened his mouth.

“At this time, you could say there are two types of jobs namely combat and non-combat. As in Sword of Sufferings, there were many women who enlisted and eventually became warriors. There are also those who do other work such as taking care of plants, helping to make crafts, and so on.

It's just that there are other types of women. They are afraid to fight on the front lines. They also have no talent in crafting and are unwilling to work hard. Of course people who do not work will not get paid, so they make their own ‘job.’.

What they do is ..”

Ark then whispered it into Lisa's ear. At first, the girl frowned. After a moment of digesting, he was immediately stunned. Behind the mask, the girl's face instantly became red like an apple. He stared at the woman with an expression of disbelief.

Lisa pointed towards the woman while shouting in disbelief.

“B-How could you do such things! That's really inappropriate!”
