At just four years old, little Munro is like many children from happy families—spoiled and pampered from a young age. He never listens to his parents’ instructions, constantly saying “NO, NO” from morning till night, as if nothing ever satisfies him. However, his fate takes an unexpected turn when, one day, little Munro receives a military conscription notice. Strangely, no one around him seems to question his age. Standing less than a meter tall, Munro undergoes military review and physical examinations alongside a group of tall adults, eventually being sent to a military camp for training as a new recruit. The endless, grueling training, the drill instructor’s roaring commands, and the never-ending hard labor overwhelm the delicate little Munro. He tries every possible way to declare that he is only four years old, but no one pays any attention—everyone sees him as a brave soldier who should dedicate himself to serving his country...
