Story
Rumi's primary intention of joining the Regular Army is because of her ailing mother, who was suffering from weak heart, and her older sister, Madoka, who was physically weak, so that both of them can make use of the Regular Army's medical facilities for treatment. During her training, she was accidentally shipped to the frontlines after a paperwork fiasco. Despite the fact that she has not completed her training, she manages to emerge from the battles unscathed.

After the first conflict with the Rebellions, Rumi is given a chance to resign from her position and carry out the rest of her life as a civilian. But she declines the offer and transfers into the Regular Army's Intelligence Division. As a supply sergeant, she packs incredible amount of cargo in her backpack and tries to deliver them to the friendly forces out in the battlefield in hopes to help them win.
