Ash, who had randomly been told that his name wasn’t to my liking, simply nodded.

"But she said she just wants to keep her head down, so isn’t it fine if we just ignore her?"

With Norman included, the three of them made up all of the senior soldiers in Alpha Platoon.

"That’s true."

"Still, she looks kind of… I don’t know."

Norman tilted his head as he recalled the image of Salvia—delicate, like a single elegant flower.

Here in Snowy Mountain Battalion, where even plants froze to death, bright colors were a rare sight.

"Yeah, I wasn’t expecting much from her."

"But maybe she has strong Arkon blood?"

"Her eyes looked too soft for that."

They each shared their doubts about what kind of person Salvia really was, but none of their thoughts were particularly positive.

There was no need to pay any attention to her.

Of course, they weren’t childish enough to bully her or try to challenge her authority.

Surviving in this brutal environment was hard enough. Wasting energy on pointless drama was stupid.

So, they decided—Salvia simply wasn’t worth their time.

"Hey, it’s way too cold. Can I get an extra blanket?"
