    The Story of Fuga: Melodies of Steel 2

    Chapter 1

    A year has passed since the armistice was signed between Berman and Gasco, bringing the war to an end. The children, no longer embroiled in bloody conflict, had each gone their separate ways to enjoy the peaceful lives they fought for. One day, the children received letters from the Gasco Army requesting they convene in Pharaoh—the new capital city.
