Hazen quickly sneaked out of the canteen, walking briskly to the warm spring to have her bath before the others finished their meals.
"I need to be quick," she muttered, unwrapping her breast cloth.
She quickly slipped into the warm spring.
"Mm..." she murmured, feeling her muscles relax as she closed her eyes, almost drifting to sleep when she heard someone trying to open the door from outside, which she had already locked from inside.
"Did they follow me? They can't find out my gender!," she whispered, her body tensing up. She leaped out of the water, swiftly tying her breast cloth, her hands trembling and her heart pounding.
"Who's there?" she asked, trying to keep her tone as steady as possible.
"It's me. Why is the door locked?" a cold, deep voice resounded from outside.
"Damn, the commander!" Hazen muttered, quickly putting on her clothes, ensuring she hid her figure before approaching the door to open it.
