Ep 18. A Small Military Power

In Pumpkin Scissors season 1 episode 18, titled "A Small Military Power," the story centers around a small country which has been devastated by war. The country is desperate for aid, and Pumpkin Scissors is deployed to help them rebuild. However, things aren't as simple as they seem.

The team quickly discovers that the local government is corrupt and embezzling funds intended for reconstruction, leaving their people to suffer in poverty while the officials live in luxury. Complicating matters further, a group of guerrilla rebels are also operating in the area, and their efforts to liberate the people are often met with violence from the government forces.

As Pumpkin Scissors works to expose the corruption and help the locals, tensions rise between them and the government officials.
