The Walking Dead: I Sell Arms as a Sixth-Rate Seller in the Apocalypse

9 am

Abandoned quarry camp

Tactical MTVR compartment

Rick opened his eyes and saw his beautiful young wife staring at him.

Rick then said with a doting expression, "Good morning, my dear wife~ You look even more beautiful and radiant this morning than yesterday. Just looking at you fills me with energy."

Hearing Rick's cheesy pickup lines, Mieko turned her face away shyly and said, "You're so naughty~ teasing me so early in the morning, but I like it~ honey."

After saying that, Mihoko kissed Rick on the cheek, then got up and put on her white school uniform.

Rick glanced at his watch and realized it was only 9 a.m., with two hours until the meeting. So he decided to wash up and then go talk to Glenn about what had happened the day before when he spied on his wife.

After Rick and Mieko were dressed, he put away the large double bed and pulled Mieko into his personal space.

Inside the portable space

Riku pulled Mihoko into his personal space with a flash of white light. The sun's position inside the personal space was the same as its position outside.

Rick then materialized the kitchenware he had taken from the Speed ​​Motel, and opened a huge refrigerator filled with all sorts of delicious food.

Looking at the various fresh foods in the refrigerator, Mihoko's eyes widened. She then said to Rick, "Honey, you can rest. I'll cook today and let you try the Nohara family's cuisine."

Hearing this, Rick didn't stop him. Instead, he smiled and said, "Great! I'm very grateful to have the opportunity to witness the Nohara family's culinary skills today. I'll leave everything to you, Mrs. Nohara."

Hearing Rick's teasing words, Mihoko blushed. She then selected the ingredients and went to the induction cooker to start cooking. However, after working on it for a while, she found that it wouldn't light. She then said to Rick, "Honey, why won't it light? Is it broken?"

Looking at Mihoko's appearance, Rick thought for a moment and realized that this thing needed electricity, but where could he find electricity? As for the food, that was the space's preservation function, and had nothing to do with the refrigerator.

Thinking of this, Rick rubbed his forehead and said to Mieko, "Honey, haven't you noticed why you can't light a fire?"

Listening to Rick's words, Mihoko looked at the induction cooker, examined it from head to toe, and then, as if she had thought of something, said, "I know, honey, this induction cooker must be broken. Yes! That must be it. If it's broken, it can't be used."

"Pfft, hahahahahahahaha!" Upon hearing this, Rick couldn't help but laugh out loud.

When Mihoko saw Rick smiling at her just like yesterday, she immediately remembered Rick's promise that he would never laugh at her again.

Instantly, Mihoko's face darkened, and then, like a deflated balloon, she slumped her arms and walked step by step toward the small lake beside her, saying as she walked, "As expected, all those words yesterday about not laughing at me anymore were lies, all those words about standing behind me and supporting me, it was all lies. If that's the case, then loving me is also fake. This world is so dark, I don't want to live anymore, I might as well die."

Having finished speaking

Mihoko walked step by step into the depths of the small lake.

Seeing his young wife walking towards the depths of the lake, Rick suddenly rushed out and hugged the dejected young woman in front of him.

Seeing Rick pick her up, Mihoko threw a tantrum, yelling, "Let me go! Let me die! Everything you said was a lie! I don't believe you anymore, you big liar, Rick! Let me go! Waaaaah!"

As she made a fuss and talked, Mieko's eyes swelled up, and then tears streamed down her face.

At this moment, Rick felt like a million alpacas were stampeding through his mind. He now felt that Mihoko was simply born with a natural talent for crying. She would start crying at the slightest carelessness, which gave him a bit of a headache. But he still loved her very much. It was a love-hate relationship.

Rick carried Mieko to the induction cooker and said to her, "Honey, don't cry. Let me ask you, why won't the induction cooker light? Think about it carefully, is it really broken?"

Upon hearing this, Mihoko choked up and said, "Isn't that right? If the induction cooker isn't broken, then why won't it light?"

Rick could only helplessly say, "My lovely and charming beautiful wife, please use your clever little brain to think about why this induction cooker won't turn on?"

Mieko stopped sobbing, then thought for a moment and said, "You mean the reason the induction cooker won't light isn't because it's broken, but because it's out of power?"

Upon hearing this, Rick felt like a father teaching his daughter a math problem, and she finally got it right after much struggle.

Rick said, "Yeah, my wife, how are you going to start a fire without electricity? Am I right?"

Mihoko thought for a moment, then, like a little girl who had made a mistake, she hugged Rick tightly and said, "You naughty husband, you know what happened but you just won't tell me, making me guess and even making me cry. I'm not talking to you anymore, hmph~ ╭(╯^╰)╮"

Although Mieko said that, her body language betrayed her, and she clung to Rick without letting go. Rick knew then that Mieko was being a tsundere.

Seeing his beautiful wife like this, Rick played along, saying, "Yes, yes, it's all my fault. I won't joke like that with you again. I was so scared when I saw you looking towards the center of the lake. Honey, tell me the truth, are you pregnant?"

Mihoko said, "No, how could I not feel if I were pregnant? Besides, even if I were pregnant, if I went into the lake and committed suicide, you would not only lose your wife, but you would also lose your child, resulting in two lives or three lives!"

Looking at Mieko in his arms, Rick stroked her dark ponytail and said gently, "Honey, it was my fault this time. I won't joke like that with you again. If there's a problem, I'll just point it out directly and won't make you guess anymore, okay? It was your husband's fault this time, please forgive me, my understanding and beautiful young wife~"

After Rick finished speaking, he kissed Mihoko on the cheek.

Mieko turned her face away and said, "Hmph, I'll let you off this time. But if you dare to mess with me or bully me again, I'll really kill myself!"

Upon hearing this, Rick quickly retorted, "Pah! Pah! Pah! What are you talking about? You're not allowed to say that! I won't allow it, and our future children won't allow their mother to do that either!"

Upon hearing this, Mieko finally laughed and said, "Alright, at least you have a conscience. Ugh, okay? I won't say it again."

Seeing Mieko's adorable appearance, Rick couldn't resist giving her another kiss and saying, "Honey, you were so cute just now, you melted my heart. When our child is born, I'll tell them about this so they can learn about their mother's little story from her youth."

Upon hearing this, Mihoko blushed and said, "You dare! If you dare say that, I'll break your third leg and make you a eunuch, so you'll never be able to have sex with me again!"

Upon hearing this, Rick said with a mocking expression, "Oh? Then may I ask, Miss Mieko, are you willing to interrupt? I remember you really like her. If you really interrupt, do you want to live a life of widowhood?"

Hearing Rick's words, Mieko fell silent, unsure of what to say for a moment.

Rick looked at the little girl in front of him, speechless after what he had said, and then touched her head and said, "Honey, don't worry. We'll build a house here, for you, me, and our future child. The four of us can live here without worrying about the dangers outside. Isn't that wonderful?"

Mieko thought for a moment, then closed her eyes and began to imagine scenes.

tens of seconds later

Mieko opened her eyes and said, "Yeah, that's pretty good too. You can work hard outside while I stay home cooking, cleaning, and taking care of the kids. Thinking about it now, it seems wonderful and blissful."

Rick: "Then let's work together towards that goal, honey."

Mieko: "Yes, honey, let's move forward together!"

After saying that, Rick took out two packs of MRE instant food and had a quick breakfast with Mieko.

The two then lay on the soft grass to while away the time.

Suddenly, Mieko seemed to remember something and said to Rick, "Honey, why did you ask me before if I was pregnant?"

Rick's brain didn't process it, and he blurted out, "Because there's a saying that goes something like that."

Mieko asked with a puzzled look, "What did you say?"

Rick, still not quite processing what was happening, said, "There's a saying in China: if a woman suddenly becomes slow or clumsy, it's because she's pregnant."

Mieko's expression froze for a moment, but she continued to ask, "Why do you say that?"

Rick not only failed to react this time, but also proudly laughed at Mieko, "Because, pregnancy makes you stupid for three years, my silly wife. Hahahahahahahaha."

Rick finished speaking and then laughed, completely unaware of the beautiful girl in front of him who was about to explode with anger.

A few seconds later, Rick finally realized what was happening, but by then he felt as if the air around him was freezing cold.

Seeing the beautiful girl staring at him with murderous intent, his survival instinct kicked in, and he quickly explained to the girl who was about to explode, "Um, honey, would you believe me if I told you it was all an accident?"

Mieko: "Hehehe~ Alright, Rick, you promised you wouldn't bully me or laugh at me anymore, but only a few minutes have passed and you've started again. You're very good. It seems that if this beautiful girl doesn't teach you a lesson today, you won't know why the Nohara family is called the Nohara family."

Having finished speaking

Mieko rushed forward and unleashed a barrage of Nohara-style domestic violence on Rick. At that moment, Mieko felt incredibly strong, and dealing with the man in front of her was a piece of cake.

In Rick's eyes, Nohara Mieko was as terrifying as Nohara Misae, Shin-chan's mother. Even the way she beat Shin-chan was exactly the same. Rick felt like Shin-chan had made a mistake and was being mercilessly beaten, but he couldn't fight back and could only let this brutal force fall on him.

With that in mind, Rick decided to give up. Since he couldn't resist, he might as well try to enjoy it.

Rick lay still, no longer defending his body, but instead lay sprawled on the ground, letting Mieko punch and kick him, silently feeling the force of her blows.

fifteen minutes later

Seeing Rick beaten to a pulp, his body covered in welts, Nohara Mieko sat down and said fiercely, "If I see you treat me like this again, it won't be as simple as it is today. I'll let you off the hook for now. Hurry up and get ready to leave."

After finishing her sentence, Mihoko walked to the lakeside and tidied her messy hair, which she had just beaten up Rick, in front of her reflection in the water.

Rick took out two blue coffee candies, fed one to Mieko, and ate one himself. In this way, the two of them gradually recovered their strength and Rick's injuries.

Rick then led Mieko out of his personal space and into the tactical MTVR vehicle, before taking his beautiful wife's hand and leading her to the rendezvous point.
