"You are not allowed to report across ranks, fox demi-human."
Ashina tossed aside the wooden stick in her hand and planted her hands on her hips like a strict instructor, her expression stern. "Reports must be in written form and signed by the squad captain. Military rules are extremely important."
Clutching the bump on her head, the little fox whimpered, her eyes brimming with tears. She felt terribly wronged, yet didn't dare to argue.
After all, she wasn't even a proper soldier. Reporting military matters really wasn't her place.
"Cough, that's on me. I was the one who asked first."
Phield pulled her into his arms and gently patted her head.
No wonder Gogris had been so afraid of Ashina when she first arrived. Even now, she didn't dare to share a bath with her.
Probably some kind of bloodline suppression unique to demi-humans, Phield thought to himself.
