D-698 Days Until Discharge.@@novelbin@@

"Salvia, is there anything bothering you these days...?"

"Not really."

"Haha, I see...!"

It's obvious. The way the squad treats me has changed lately.

It seems to have started after the monster subjugation mission, when I went a little overboard with the gunfire. They probably started recognizing my abilities after that.

Unlike before, they now actively tried to talk to me first, and even went out of their way to take care of me.

"Ah, damn it! It's freezing!"

"Hey! Salvia said she's cold!"

"Why the hell aren’t you bringing more blankets?!"

"Salvia! If you wrap this scarf around yourself, you'll feel warmer!"

...Well, at least I haven’t been feeling as cold lately, so I guess this is a positive development.

Among them, the one who took care of me the most was Norman, the lowest-ranking of the three senior privates. He gave orders on my behalf, making sure the juniors didn’t inconvenience me.

As I lay sprawled on my bunk, covered in layers of blankets brought to me by my squadmates, a disgruntled private muttered under his breath.

"I mean, how cold could it possibly be?"

...Huh. Now that’s an interesting comment.

"Hey, so you’re not that cold, huh?"

"Huh? Oh, uh... I've just been here for a while, that's all."

The private flinched, clearly not expecting me to call him out. But he quickly regained his attitude, shifting back into a cocky expression.
