<Synopsis>

Due to the long war with the Kingdom of Arcadia, the Galeria Empire was pushed to the brink of collapse. On the harsh battlefield, a young scream echoes from the hellish front line.

'That's not what I was told, that's not what I was told!!!'

The owner of the voice is a young girl who enlisted in the military to save the orphanage where she spent her childhood.

Her name is Lina, age 8. She can't use swords or magic. All she has is the plain skill 'Multilingual Understanding' and memories of her past life spent overworking at a black company and playing strategy simulation games!

She was promised a 'safe headquarters with high-treatment desk work', but Lina was set up as a 'mysterious military strategist' right in the middle of the battlefield. No one yet knows that her small hand's commands will overturn common sense and change the war situation. Of course, she herself doesn't know either.

It seems she is desperately longing for sweet cake above all else.
